This Is Truly Not Mechanical Ascension

Upon opening his eyes, Li Ming found himself in a turbulent interstellar era. Countless civilizations wielded their hunting rifles, eyeing everything in the universe with predatory gazes, and his m...

87. Chapter 87 B-level item, one million metal energy, new change profession?

87 New changes in B-level items with millions of metal energy - occupation?

The following assessment was quite ordinary, following the normal process, which made people drowsy and lacked passion.

Those who can enter the next round will naturally cheer, while those who are eliminated will look gloomy.

Things only became tense during the actual practice stage. Although there were teachers watching, it would still be troublesome if a student got injured.

Li Ming didn't stay at the table all the time, he went downstairs to take a walk.

"Brother Ming." Zhang Huaiyuan greeted excitedly, breathing heavily, having just fought with someone.

"I've entered a key training class." It was obvious that he was a little reluctant, but his development progress, which far exceeded that of others, still provided him with a considerable advantage.

"Very good." Li Ming praised.

Zhang Huaiyuan chuckled twice, "If you hadn't trained with us, I would have been so close to failure."

He stood here, and many people around him kept looking at him.

After a while, Liang Long also came over with an excited look on his face and clenched his fists.

They were the only two who entered the key training class. Wang Bing and Ge Hong failed to get in, and Ji Ya and Yang Yu were also far behind.

Ji Ya was heartless and didn't feel anything, but Yang Yu looked a little gloomy.

"Brother Ming, you are really awesome." Ge Hong admired from the bottom of his heart, and the flesh on his face piled up together, and he also felt proud of it.

"Haha..." Li Ming laughed, "I'm just lucky. If you have any questions in the future, you can send me a message."

Ge Hong didn't have any special reaction, but Zhang Huaiyuan and Liang Long's eyes lit up slightly.

With Li Ming's current status, he can be said to be soaring to the sky.

They couldn't get into any big trouble, and with Li Ming's words, their future days would be much more peaceful.

"Professor Wu asked me to go with him to the lab. Let's go back to the hotel and pack our things first."

"good."

As the sun sets, the final test results are out, except for Li Ming who takes first place.

The rankings of the others were similar to what most people had predicted beforehand, with Rosser second and Zhao Jingang third.

The dean announced the results and, after a speech, let everyone go. Their dormitories had already been assigned and they could move in at any time.

Silver Gray Star and his companions traveled together and returned to the hotel to pack their things. They didn't talk much along the way because Fang Biao followed him.

Several people had an indescribable fear in their hearts towards this burly man. This was the natural awe of lower life levels towards higher life levels.

"You, really don't live in the dormitory?" Yang Yu asked hesitantly.

"Well, Professor Wu asked me to live with him in the laboratory." Li Ming packed his clothes and the remaining nutrient solution.

"Then where can I find you in the future?" Yang Yu lowered his head and asked cautiously.

"Let's go to the lab. I'll send you the location later." Li Ming said casually, "Just send me a message if you need anything."

"You...let me see your Star Network number." Yang Yu whispered.

"Oh." Li Ming felt puzzled and handed over the smart terminal.

After scratching on it for a while, Yang Yu suddenly became lively again.

"Then stop muting yourself." Yang Yu handed the thing back.

"Hmm..." Li Ming pondered. It's not that he was silent, but sometimes he would put the smart terminal into the control standby column.

"Brother Biao." Li Ming suddenly spoke, and Fang Biao, who was like a wall beside him, quickly responded: "What's wrong?"

Fang Biao no longer dared to underestimate Li Ming. He won first place in the opening exam and showed great potential.

"Can you add me as a friend? If she has any problems and can't find me, she can find you." Li Ming asked.

"No problem." Fang Biao nodded, and Yang Yu became even happier.

The few of them parted ways. Li Ming followed Fang Biao. The hovercraft had arrived. Li Ming followed Fang Biao to Professor Wu's private laboratory.

On a small island not far from the Polytechnic University, various buildings are lined up one after another, and two tall buildings are the most eye-catching.

The devices hanging above were glowing dimly, and the translucent metal bridges between them were flowing with blue halos, like energy transmission pipelines.

Fully armed security personnel were patrolling everywhere. They were not ordinary employees and their eyes were quite sharp.

There are special security regulations here. Even law enforcement agencies cannot enter without permission.

After getting off the hovercraft, Professor Wu, who had received the news, came to greet us in person.

He seemed a little impatient. After Li Ming got out of the car, he asked someone to take the luggage.

"Come, follow me." He took Li Ming into the laboratory area between the two tall buildings.

As he walked, he said, "I have given you authorization. You can come and go as you please."

"The development and training area is on the east side, the cafeteria is on the left, and the rest area is in the northwest..."

As he introduced, he walked through the metal corridor. The heavy alloy doors along the way kept closing and reopening.

The researchers they met on the road were very respectful to Professor Wu, stopping to wait for them to pass, and even a little afraid.

Buzz--

Another door opened, revealing a polygonal transit space connected to more than a dozen metal corridors in all directions, with people passing through from time to time.

After passing through here and continuing forward to the deepest part of the laboratory, and passing through another security door, what appeared in front of Li Ming was a heavy gray-white alloy door.

There are multiple layers of protection here; fingerprints and pupil patterns are just the basics. It seems that only Professor Wu can come here.

Accompanied by the sound of pressure relief, white mist overflowed from the gap, and it was pitch black. Professor Wu was the first to step into the room.

With a "buzz", the lights came on, and the dark room became as bright as day. Several large equipment were placed in the center, and green liquid was bubbling in several high-pressure liquid storage tanks.

"Teacher, you are not really going to slice me up, are you?" Li Ming said half-jokingly and half-seriously, standing at the door.

"You think a lot." Professor Wu shook his head without even turning his head. "I can't bear to cut you up. Come in quickly."

Li Ming hesitated for a moment and walked into the room. Old Wu had already walked to the central operating table and entered a few commands.

The floor cracked, and a silvery-white cylindrical metal object slowly rose up, with a thumb-sized groove in the center.

"Press your finger on it."

Professor Wu spoke to Li Ming, his eyes full of anticipation.

Li Ming pondered for a moment, then stretched out his thumb, feeling a tingling sensation.

After retracting his finger, he found that there was a little blood in the central groove, which then quickly disappeared.

Immediately, the liquid in the high-pressure storage tank boiled even more, and Li Ming could vaguely feel that the current in the room suddenly surged.

Soon, everything gradually calmed down, and a number appeared on the central screen - 10%

"10%?" Professor Wu frowned and sighed in his heart.

"Professor, what is this?" Li Ming asked.

"Detect the concentration of sublimated particles in your body." Professor Wu explained.

"Sublimation particle concentration?" This term is extremely unfamiliar.

Professor Wu put it simply: "It's the potential for gene purification, and I've quantified it."

Quantified?

Didn’t they say that before me, no living being with the potential for genetic purification could be found?

Where did Old Wu get the experimental data to quantify it? Li Ming's doubts grew even stronger.

"Don't tell anyone else what you saw today." Although Professor Wu didn't turn around, he seemed to have anticipated what Li Mingxin was thinking.

"Don't worry, we will prosper together and suffer together. I won't harm you."

There was no point in thinking too much, Li Ming nodded: "I understand."

Old Wu stopped moving, as if thinking, and then he fiddled with something. The metal wall on the other side opened from the center and slowly faded to both sides.

Then, the heavy glass display stand lit up dimly, and what appeared before Li Ming's eyes was a broken, charred mecha. Only half of it was left, but it was supposed to be a full-body mecha.

The overall shape is streamlined, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. There are not many visible metal components. Instead, under the breastplate, there are some black fibers that resemble muscles.

The shoulder armor was the least damaged, and you could see golden lines outlined there, like some kind of pattern.

The head was split apart from the eyebrows, leaving only about one-third, with a half-broken golden prism embedded in it.

Only the part of the black cloak behind him that was connected to the shoulder armor remained. If it had not been destroyed, the whole thing would have been very gorgeous.

"What is this?" Li Ming was stunned for a long time, his eyes wandering on the broken part and the exposed crystal circuit, and he couldn't help asking.

"This is something I found in the ruins of a certain civilization. It is already in ruins." Professor Wu stared at Li Ming.

"Teacher, can I touch it?" Li Ming's throat moved.

This request was a bit odd, but Professor Wu seemed to be waiting for this sentence and immediately responded: "Of course."

He touched the metal ring on his middle finger, and a virtual screen popped up, and he clicked on it casually.

The metal cabin in front of him slowly opened, and the support behind the broken mecha extended forward, finally stopping in front of Li Ming.

He walked forward, caressing her with his palm, his heart suddenly throbbing. He suppressed his emotions, but a turbulent wave of emotions surged in his heart—

[Feros Warrior-class Mecha--Class B: Forged with Xio Metal and Phantom Dragon Fiber as the main materials.

Control conditions: One million metal energy

Control Effect: Occupation - Thunder Guardian

Control Ability - Over Limit: Spend a certain amount of time to release the Ferros Armor, which can increase strength by up to 500%, speed by 500%, and defense by up to 500%.

One million metal energies!

This was the most powerful control object he had ever seen.

The control effect is unheard of. Thunder Guardian? Occupation?

He was curious, but he had no control and could not check the details.

But its control ability [Super Limit] is so powerful that there is no need to say more, just one word - Explosion!

"What's wrong?" Professor Wu asked anxiously.

"Nothing?" Li Ming released his hand and shook his head. "I just feel like this thing seems very delicate and powerful."

Professor Wu frowned, as if he didn't see the result he wanted, but he didn't say much and put away the broken armor.

"Just focus on developing your gene seeds. Feel free to go wander around when you're bored, but don't neglect Polytechnic University." He reminded her:

"The Polytechnic University has received interstellar support, and the Itlan civilization is an advanced civilization. The resources they possess are beyond our reach."

Although Old Wu looked down on those professors on the surface, he was well aware of the importance of the Polytechnic University.

He revealed that Blue Star did not have a method to prepare C-level gene seeds and could only rely on the quota distribution of the Itlan civilization, which was also a form of constraint.

As the two of them walked out, Old Wu glanced at the starry sky and said, "If you want to buy anything, just charge it to the lab and ask them to issue an invoice. The experimental expenses can be reimbursed."

"I understand..." Li Ming nodded. Old Wu was talking about small things, and it was definitely impossible for him to spend them without restraint.

But spending a few thousand shouldn't be a problem, right? He couldn't help rubbing his hands.

"When you go to school the day after tomorrow, remember to collect what you deserve, especially the gene refining potion." Old Wu reminded.

Li Ming was also wondering what that thing was and couldn't help but ask.

"It's a strengthening potion. It can only be used once per life level. It's used to enhance gene seeds, but it can only be used after development reaches 100%." ​​Professor Wu explained it in detail, emphasizing, "This thing is as precious as a custom-made D-level gene seed."

After listening to this, Li Ming suddenly realized that this refined potion was used to squeeze out the last bit of potential from the gene seed and enhance it to a certain extent.

It is specially supported by Yitlan and cannot be bought on the market.

When they finished speaking, they had already arrived at Li Ming's lounge. After bidding farewell to Professor Wu, Li Ming walked in.

The room is quite spacious, with a large bed, desk, wardrobe, etc. all in milky white.

I used the [Intelligent Assistance] function to check and found no surveillance cameras, recording devices, or the like.

Sitting on the bed, Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief and lay on his back. A lot happened today.

In fact, the 10% particle concentration is easy to understand.

He remembered that the description of the testing equipment he stole from Old Wu said "preliminary acquisition"

Since it is preliminary, it is normal for the concentration to be only 10%.

"The concentration should reach a certain level to meet Old Wu's requirements." Li Ming thought, since he could create something from nothing and possess these particles, there must be a way to increase the concentration.

Judging from Old Wu's reaction, he wasn't too disappointed.

"Old Wu has some secrets..." He searched Old Wu's resume, which was legendary.

Born on an unknown planet, even worse off than the Silver-Gray Planet, he had been hungry since childhood. After he was fortunate enough to leave his own planet, things got out of control.

There is also the Ferros mecha. The damaged items are all B-level items, and judging from the style, it is obviously not a product of Blue Star. Old Wu seems to be looking forward to how that thing will react to him.

It will probably take some time to gather one million metal energies.

It is impossible for him to accumulate it forever, and it will inevitably be consumed elsewhere, and the time required will probably be longer than he imagined.

"It's better to absorb it directly, and it can also produce hundreds of thousands of metal energies." Li Ming thought and shook his head.

That was obviously Old Wu's collection. The relationship between the two was good now, but they were not yet at the point of being honest with each other, and each had his own secrets.

Old Wu was very suspicious of him regarding the theft of the testing equipment.

Ever since he had come into contact with Old Wu, Old Wu had told the city guards that there was no need to search for any trace of the stolen items, and it was obvious that he thought he had taken them, but he hadn't mentioned it.

Take your time, don't rush. The things are there and won't disappear in a short time.

Old Wu’s reputation is not very good now, which is a good thing for me, as it saves me from being sliced ​​into pieces.

Li Ming analyzed the current situation in his mind. Old Wu was trustworthy for the time being, but he would have to rely on him for a long time to come.

The most important thing now is to develop gene seeds and improve his own strength. The Privy Council Deacon behind Jhin should know his identity soon, and it is unknown how he will react.

He was not far from level D, and the control bar would be unlocked soon, and he felt anticipation rising in his heart.

It's been another hard day, please vote! Thank you all for your support!
