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...
Chapter 39: Try out the core ability of upgrading the explosion-proof shield - Thunder!
"If I develop the medicine, I will definitely take off..." Li Ming's heart was burning with excitement.
The speed of gene seed development is a difficult problem that plagues all life forms in the galaxy.
The more powerful the gene seed, the more difficult it is to develop. After development to a certain level, the difficulty increases sharply, hindering the evolution of life.
Major interstellar civilizations, research institutes, and laboratories are constantly exploring solutions to this problem, developing methods supported by large amounts of data, and continuously strengthening the development of pharmaceuticals.
It can only be slightly accelerated.
But he can double the improvement!
After downing a tube of development drug, Li Ming continued electrotherapy until 7pm. He then took out a genetic testing device and tested it – 47%.
Yes, he was very satisfied.
Glancing at the pitch-black night, he stopped the electrotherapy, opened the Black Hole Network, found a bounty, and prepared to test the waters.
"The Fierce Tiger Gang - Guo Can..." This is a small figure, with a bounty of only 10,000 star coins. His overall strength is similar to Ma Wu, and he has the physical fitness of a fused gene seed.
At the same time, he also noticed that several bounties had been blacklisted, which meant that they had been claimed by someone. Needless to say, many people also wanted to make some extra money secretly.
………
"Ding Dong, please pay attention, interstellar spacecraft X1457 to Dust Planet is about to take off. Please take safety precautions..."
“…”
"Please make way..." A half-meter-tall, big-butt, red-skinned Tandu squeezed in with his big belly. The fishy stench on his body mixed with the smell of cheap perfume was disgusting.
"Okay..." The lame man moved sideways, stuffed his luggage onto the luggage rack above with great effort, sat down on the narrow seat, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he habitually took out his smart terminal, which had an anti-spy function, and opened the black hole network to see if there was any "good business."
"Hmm?" The reminder in the lower left corner made him pause. 1000
"Where did the thousand star coins come from?" He clicked on it and saw that it was a bounty from a recommended bounty hunter.
"Shadow? It's that kid Li Ming..." The lame man was not happy, but frowned slightly.
Based on a 10% commission, the total bounty should be 10,000 star coins, which is definitely not an F-level life form.
With Li Ming's strength, completing this kind of bounty is easy.
But he didn't expect Li Ming to accept the reward so quickly. This was not a good thing, as it might attract attention.
He located the area as Silver-Gray Star, and then his expression changed drastically. "Oh my god..."
Why are there so many big bounties? What happened on that remote planet?
Looking at the high bounties, his heart began to stir. The high bounties on remote small planets were most popular among bounty hunters.
Because even if the world turns upside down, nothing serious will happen.
"Forget it, forget it. I don't know if that group of people are still there." The lame man sighed and let go of the worry. Saving his life was the most important thing.
As for the thousand star coins, he didn't care at all. From the beginning to the end, he never thought about making any star coins from Li Ming.
…
The next afternoon, it was Li Ming's turn to go to work to replace those who were still holding on.
"It's only been one day, and a lot of people have died in the three major gangs." Several colleagues said as they handed over their work.
"No one is taking the big bounty, but these small bounties are attracting a lot of people."
"Alas, it's a good thing we didn't get a bounty."
"The minimum bounty on Starnet is 10,000 Star Coins. With your small stature, who would pay to kill you?"
“…”
"I don't know who's targeting the three major gangs," Li Ning muttered. "Could it be the higher-ups? But this is a very dangerous move. When did those people become so aggressive?"
Li Ming's eyes moved slightly. The bounty offered by the leaders of the three major gangs might have been done by Black Gloves himself.
But the rewards for these middle and lower-level cadres are definitely not for them, which is tantamount to undermining their own foundation.
"It should be issued by those senior executives, using the power of others to counter the power of others, playing games with each other, to see who will collapse first." Li Ming estimated.
Under such circumstances, the city guards naturally had a lot to do. They frequently went out on duty, and there were constant small-scale conflicts, but no major ones.
Li Ming cycled through the process of going to work, getting off work, on duty, and undergoing electrotherapy, occasionally browsing the Black Hole Network and occasionally taking action.
He did not feel bored, but extremely fulfilled. As the development of the gene seeds continued to improve, he could feel his strength, speed, and stamina increasing.
Seven or eight days passed like this.
This morning, Li Ming soaked in water and enjoyed electrotherapy. He worked the night shift yesterday and arrested a few thugs.
"What is this thing used for?" Li Ming flipped the magnetic card between his fingers, revealing both sides were smooth.
It’s hard to find someone to ask, so I can only figure it out myself. There are no obvious signs and I can’t check it on the Star Internet.
Li Ming jumped out of the bucket and stepped barefoot on the floor. Water dripped down his muscles and onto the ground, making his body smooth and strong.
"It should be about the same."
Take out the genetic testing equipment, drop--90%
Seeing this, Li Ming let out a breath and smiled.
From the time the gene seeds were fused to now, in less than a month, the development speed has reached 90%.
Even after exceeding the development node of 60%, the development rate slowed down again, but with the support of detection equipment and development drugs, the efficiency was still very high.
This visible progress makes him keep going.
Developing genetic seeds is not a pleasure. The pain of electrotherapy is no less than torture. An ordinary living being would need to rest for at least three or four days before recovering from this treatment.
During this time, he spent 300 points to upgrade the explosion shield again.
[B-11 Advanced Enhanced Explosion-proof Shield - Class E: Police standard explosion-proof shield, with the ability to initially protect the safety of life.
…
Control effect: Physical strength boost--50%
Control Ability——Steel Wall: Increases body's defense by 75%.
The bullet-proof shield reduced most of the pain, which was also one of the reasons why he was able to hold on.
The prosthetic tiger claws have little conventional use and have been replaced by the explosion-proof shield.
The curtains were drawn tightly, and the room was dim. Li Ming was calculating, "After 90%, I need at least 500V to continue stimulating the gene seed. My home can no longer support it. If I want to improve further, I can only go to a special training room."
"The City Guard's training room should be fine, but I need to apply, and then I must demonstrate my current strength."
He thought about it and shook his head again: "First stimulate the core ability."
He took out the USB flash drive containing the combat skills. He had not learned the first two combat skills. They were not powerful and it would be a waste of time to learn them.
But this last core ability is what I have been thinking about for a long time.
"Thunder... Jing Leibao's gene seed has been developed to 90%. The cells already have the initial ability to generate electricity. All we need to do is stimulate it..."
"Push your cells, it's best when you're physically exhausted. Get used to the feeling of power generation and apply it to your daily life..."
Li Ming read carefully, not missing a single word. He was already very familiar with the feeling of exhaustion. He released the robotic arm, and after more than ten minutes, he was too weak to do anything.
“Squeezing cellular energy…”
Li Ming carefully comprehended it, as if he was looking for the last drop of water from a dry riverbed.
This was not an easy process, but it was not difficult either. After three hours——
crackling
A blue arc of electricity bloomed between his thumb and index finger. Li Ming's face, which was so weak that it was almost pale, finally relaxed. As his mind relaxed, the arc of electricity disappeared again.
But it was difficult the first time, but it was easy the second time. Soon, the azure arc bloomed again.
After taking two tubes of nutrient solution and half an hour later, my strength was almost restored.
An electric arc about as thick as a hair jumped between his two fingers and was thrown onto the ground, instantly leaving a thumb-sized burn mark.
Li Ming was having a lot of fun playing with it as if he had got a new toy, with crackling sounds coming from all directions.
With 90% development progress, the energy level has exceeded 90F. Even without using the control ability and thunder, it is already almost the same as the peak Zhang Hu.
"It's just right. Let's celebrate today and pick a lucky person." Li Ming glanced at the inky night sky and opened the black hole network.
