Chapter 337 Qinglong turns out to be a mad scientist (seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month, thank you!)

Buzz--

The hatch closed, Fusi's face looked grim, and the maids in black veil on both sides knelt on the ground. She ignored them and walked all the way to the central room.

The communicator here has been activated, and the shadow of the Virgin Mary is standing in the room.

"Holy Mother..." Fushi whispered.

"I already know." The Virgin Mary's voice was calm. "Qinglong's strength and methods were beyond our expectations. It's normal that you were discovered."

She sighed, "This S-class mechanical body, Qinglong, is really not simple. You should come back first and give me more details about Li Ming. We can think of other ways."

Although the plan failed, it was not enough to make them angry. This was not the only failed plan, and this one was not the most serious.

While Fussy was on her way to escape, they received the news. Although they were shocked, they did not blame anyone after learning the whole situation.

"Holy Mother..." Fuxi interrupted, saying in a deep voice, "Qinglong's methods may be more terrifying than you can imagine. He is waiting for us."

The Virgin Mary was slightly surprised, "What do you mean?"

"He released Li Ming to lure us out. Since he couldn't find us, he simply asked us to find him." Fuxi emphasized, "Maybe he's plotting against the Star of Eternal Silence."

"Hmm?" The Virgin Mary frowned, puzzled, "Why would you have such an idea?"

"My gene seed has degenerated..." Fusi said weakly.

"What!?" The Virgin Mary's calm expression changed completely.

"At least 3% degraded," Fusi added, her tone growing increasingly desperate. "And this isn't the last time. I don't know what he did to me. It might be some kind of genetic virus, but it's definitely eating away at my body."

"He discovered my identity from the very beginning, perhaps through the air, or perhaps through some other medium. I didn't notice anything, and for such a long time, he has been slowly eroding my body."

The body of an S-level life form cannot be corroded by ordinary viruses. She believed that Qinglong must have spent a lot of time, which was why the other party had not exposed him.

"Wait..." The Reverend Mother looked doubtful, "Is your gene seed degenerating?"

She was still digesting the news, and Fusi nodded helplessly.

The Virgin Mary's expression changed and she was no longer calm. Could it be true as Fusi said?

"Desire, don't come back yet. I will arrange a laboratory for you to find out your physical condition first." The Virgin Mary said in a deep voice.

Finding out one's physical condition is one thing, but one is also worried about whether the virus is contagious.

Fuxi's words are alarming and must be guarded against.

Fuxi hesitated and said, "Qinglong said that only if you talk to him can he possibly remove the virus from me."

The Virgin Mary folded her hands and her voice returned to silence: "I understand."

………

"It's actually the Sisterhood..."

In a room of a shabby tavern somewhere, the quilt on the bed was stained with some unknown gray-brown stains.

Blackbeard sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the battle images in front of him. They were blurry and he could barely make out anything.

Only when the fighting stops can we see some clues.

"The Witch of Desire faced the mechanical body..." Blackbeard shook his head. He was naturally very concerned about Qinglong's information. Someone notified him as soon as the incident happened.

"Level 46 development potential. It turns out Li Ming is trying to lure the Sisterhood. This is indeed a sweet bait. If we can't find him, let him find us..." Blackbeard's expression was unpredictable. His beard was being plucked out one by one, and his eyes became deeper and deeper: "Star of Eternal Silence..."

"This is your goal. Ever since Li Ming was exposed, you've already figured it out. Level 46... only four levels away..."

"The Sisters are thieves. Even if it was lost during the siege, starting from them is indeed the most likely to find it."

"But if we just let him go, what will happen next?"

Blackbeard was not quite sure. As for the Red River Star Stream, at least there was evidence of Azure Dragon's activity trajectory, but this matter was just pure guess.

Even if it weren't for the Star of Eternal Silence, with such high development potential, the Sisterhood would definitely try to obtain the seeds.

It is not necessarily that Qinglong did it on purpose.

Blackbeard shook his head and put these wild thoughts aside.

"Putting aside other things, Qinglong's strength is popping out little by little. Whenever others try to test him, he'll release a little bit, not more, not less, just enough to handle it. He's really cunning..." Blackbeard couldn't guess how many tricks Qinglong had left.

"S-class mechanical body, tsk tsk..." Just as he was pondering, the blue ring on the middle finger of his right hand suddenly emitted a faint light and flashed rapidly.

"You're so fast, is there something urgent?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly and rubbed them slightly. Strands of bright blue light burst out, and everything in front of him began to collapse, gradually turning into a dark hall with the Iron Thrones neatly arranged on both sides.

"Everyone should already know about the battle on Frost Sky Star in the Meteoric Flame Galaxy." Someone was speaking, but Blackbeard raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, "Is this just a small matter worth gathering everyone?"

"It's surprising that Qinglong can create S-class mechanical bodies, but it shouldn't cause such a big reaction."

"S-class mechanical body?" There was a noise in the hall. Many people had not yet heard the news.

"The Desire Witch of the Sisterhood has been lurking beside Li Ming for four months, intending to steal his seed." The person who spoke ignored him and continued:

"Defeat is not surprising, but the problem is that her gene-seed has degenerated."

After the words fell, the hall fell silent. Blackbeard's heart trembled, "What do you mean by degradation..."

"Degradation, that's exactly what it says. Her development progress has declined by at least 3%." The other person's voice was indistinguishable between genders. "It seems it will continue to degrade. I don't know where it will end, or if it can recover."

"Gene-seed development progress is slowing down..."

Everyone was silent. If evolution was what every living thing desired, then degeneration naturally came from the fear deep within the cells.

Blackbeard also fell silent, remembering the guess he had given up. Was it because he had already done something to the Witch of Desire that he let her go?

Use this as a threat to negotiate with the Sisterhood?

Allowing the gene seed to degenerate...even he found it incredible and terrifying.

"It's suspected to be some kind of genetic virus. The source of infection is unknown, the time of transmission is unknown, and the duration of action is also unknown."

The hall was silent, and the unknown was frightening.

"This mad scientist deserves to be killed. What is this biomechanic studying all day long?" Someone said angrily.

Biomechanics are a subcategory of mechanics. They believe that purely mechanical creations have their limits, and that combining them with living things is the only way forward.

They often create some weird things, which are not at a high level of life, but are extremely threatening.

Blackbeard was immediately dissatisfied: "How does it bother you that they are researching self-defense methods? Should they use it on you?"

"If you ask me, it's time to accept him. He has the means and the strength. I asked him to cooperate with the plan, and he didn't say a word."

"He's too mysterious." Some still disagreed. "We can't even find him, so who knows who sent him? And with no checks and balances or weaknesses, who would dare to use him with confidence?"

"Isn't he very nice to Li Ming? Li Ming has always been active in the open."

"That's the problem. If you're so kind to your students, why don't you just hide him away and focus on developing gene seeds? Instead, why do you let him start a business?"

"The Sisters have foolishly taken the bait, and Reina has also fallen for it. I wonder who will be next."

"The latest news is that he has said that he is willing to return Reina. It seems that he is not willing to provoke the Xingyuan Empire on the surface."

"He does have some tricks up his sleeve, but there's no need to overanalyze them. Since he's hiding in the dark, it must be because he's still wary and afraid..."

There was a lot of noise and everyone expressed their opinions.

"Let's vote," Ulysses, who had been silent until then, suddenly said, "How many people are in favor of letting him attend the meeting?"

The noisy sounds died down slightly, and lights appeared on the Iron Throne, with only five or six lights scattered around.

Blackbeard shook his head. Ulysses said indifferently, "We can discuss his affairs later. He poses no threat to us, and he is actively cooperating with the plan. That's enough for now."

"How is the preparation for the Forging Hammer Project going?"

"It's been laid for four or five years, and it's already starting to brew. It will soon sweep across the interstellar space." Someone responded in a deep voice.

Someone said quietly, "This is just the beginning. Get ready, things are about to change."

…………

"You are really hardworking. I haven't seen you come out since you got on the boat."

On this day, Robin rarely saw Li Ming coming out of the room, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm just bored, I'm used to it." Li Ming said casually, glanced at him, and suddenly asked:

"By the way, I remember that day when you learned that Fushi was from the Sisterhood, your reaction was quite strong."

"Huh?" Robin was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but think of that day. It was already that situation, how could you still notice any expression on my face?

Li Ming was curious: "Did they attack you too?"

Robin's face flickered, a little dark, and he said dully: "Yeah."

"That was five or six years ago. I come from a small civilization near the Federation. We value martial arts, and every three years we hold a martial arts competition involving the entire civilization."

"I was a rookie at the time, but I fought all the way to the end and won the C-level life form championship."

"Then they targeted me. They sent a girl named Iris... to approach me."

Li Ming looked strange. Could this guy have fallen in love with that woman? Tsk… It seems that all the people in the Virgin Mary sect…

"Yuan'er is different!" Robin's voice became deeper, as if he noticed Li Ming's strange look.

"That was her first mission after she was accepted into the Sisterhood..."

Robin talked a lot, and Li Ming did not interrupt him. He just listened and roughly understood what he was saying.

After going through a series of things, the girl seemed to fall in love with him, and finally died to save him, becoming the white moonlight in Robin's heart.

"She doesn't want my descendants to become tools of the Sisterhood." Robin clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot.

Li Ming sighed and then asked, "Did she tell you any special clues about the Sisterhood?"

Robin collected himself and said hesitantly, "Our civilization's technology is limited. We can only detect a maximum of fifteen levels of development potential. I have it full.

"At first, the Sisters were extremely curious about my true potential, and even some important figures showed particular interest..."

"But after she took some blood from me and tested it, the attention dropped significantly. Yuan'er heard them sighing, saying it would be great if it was level 40."

"Level 40?" Li Ming's heart moved slightly. The Sisters needed seeds with development potential of at least level 40 to meet their unknown requirements.

"When I have the ability, I will definitely wipe out this organization." Robin gritted his teeth, this was the hatred that came from the bottom of his heart.

Li Ming patted his shoulder. At this moment, the hull shook and a voice came from the radio. They were connected to the Barbarian Bear Hub, which was the closest stargate hub to the Meteorite Flame Galaxy.

"Serial number, *******" Li Ming reported a series of numbers.

"Hello, respected guest of the royal court, you are being led to a special channel. Please choose a jump location for space coating." The voice of the broadcast became much softer.

In the past two months, Sandro has built a good relationship with the controller of this stargate hub, and their people can pass through it through a fast lane.

After another ten-day journey, Li Ming returned to the Twin Peaks node. It was still magnificent and stunning, and it was dazzling.

"Serial number: *********"

Li Ming called out another number, and after the management system recognized it, it quickly responded, "Dear guest, we are directing you to the VIP channel."

Robin looked at it with envy. He had never been treated like this before. Every time he had to queue for seven or eight hours before he could enter Twin Peaks.

This is the value of connections. Even if he becomes an A-level life form, he will not receive such treatment.

It was similar to last time, also a dedicated shuttle bus, but Li Ming did not let the service staff get on the bus, there were only the three of them.

"To enter the dimensional world, we must 'travel through boundary markers'?" Li Ming pondered.

"Yes, the dimensional world is intricate and complex. The shuttle boundary marker is the star map of the dimensional experiment." Robin explained: "It also requires a dimensional jump ship. These things are difficult to obtain, and only a limited number of forces have them."

It’s no wonder that Li Ming doesn’t understand.

The knowledge in the interstellar space is varied and as numerous as the stars in the vast ocean. If you don’t need it, you will never be able to access some of this knowledge in your lifetime.

"I understand." Li Ming nodded.

After that, the shuttle came to an abrupt stop. Robin was stunned and looked out the window in some surprise.

Li Ming wasn't surprised and opened the door naturally. As expected, a strong wind rushed in immediately, accompanied by Austin's unique voice, "Oh, my dear little friend, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Robin's pupils dilated and his throat rolled as he looked at the big red spaceship outside the shuttle and the life form covered in a red cloak.

"The Red Robe Wizard, Austin!"

"Sir Austin." Li Ming smiled, and Tan Wei and Lei Ting walked clang-clatteringly behind him, and together they came to Austin's spaceship.

When handing over an S-level life form to the people of the Xingyuan Empire at Twin Peaks, it is natural to inform the controller to avoid causing trouble.

Austin laughed exaggeratedly, covering his mouth and tapping the tank with his knuckles. "...There's an S-class life form in here..."

In places that could not be seen, dense transparent runes poured into the metal of Tanwei and quickly returned. His eyes contained unspeakable surprise and fear.

Terra Alloy, Eternal Star Stone... these are all extremely hard materials. This thing actually has technology similar to Rune Technology. I can't even understand it. Qinglong has learned too many things.

I basically don't update frequently, and I know that myself. I usually feel embarrassed to ask for monthly tickets.

But I still ask for your support at the beginning of the month, and thank you all the bosses.
