Chapter 532 I'll help you!

Anduin's face looked quite worried. Having said this, he glanced at Qinglong's expression and found that the other party had not changed at all. He continued:

"I'm afraid this expansion is not a good thing for the United Organization of Higher Life Forms."

"Once all seats are taken away, the three major civilizations will still have the final say, and we'll be back to the situation before, or even worse."

The anger in Anduin's words didn't seem fake, and his voice became increasingly rapid and intense. "In the past, the three major civilizations had to be more cautious when dealing with higher life forms. But now, they only need to vote and determine that someone is a threat to interstellar security, and then they can directly take action against them."

A united organization of higher life forms that assists the Interstellar Alliance in handling interstellar events.

But their responsibilities have gradually become clear. They are mainly responsible for dealing with crimes and arresting higher life forms. It is impossible for them to vote on everything.

Li Ming hesitated for a moment before speaking under Anduin's slightly expectant gaze, "Is it really just because of this that you contacted me this time?"

"Just because?" Anduin looked at Qinglong in astonishment and said in a deep voice, "This has become a matter of life and death."

Anduin thought Azure Dragon was used to being secretive and didn't understand the inside story, so he explained, "In the past, there was a tacit understanding between the three major civilizations and higher life forms, and many things were done in private."

"For example, raids and prisoner exchanges. Even if you're truly planning to attack a higher life form, the reason you find must be impeccable to avoid provoking others."

"But once this knife is in the hands of the three major civilizations, they can mobilize other X-level life forms to attack someone, without even having to send their own people."

At this point, Anduin seemed still worried that Qinglong didn't understand the seriousness of the situation, so he continued, "Take you as an example. If one day you turn against the three major civilizations, they could even mobilize the higher life forms to attack you."

After many collaborations and information exchanges, the two have a good relationship, and Anduin speaks more directly.

Li Ming looked at Anduin's solemn expression and thought for a moment that he was acting. He pondered and said:

"This risk existed when this organization was first established. Didn't you see it before?"

Anduin sighed, "Yes, this hidden danger has always existed, but it finally gives us a chance to gamble."

Once a knife is unsheathed, it is still unknown who will hold it in the end. It depends on the means of both sides.

"However, I originally thought that the expansion would have to wait for a few more years, but it came so suddenly. This must have upset many people's thinking."

"The problem is that this was only the first meeting, and there was little trust among the council members, so no consensus was reached."

Anduin was filled with worry. "Every one of us has our own likes and dislikes, but the three great civilizations will only act in the direction of their greatest benefit. The cohesion between the two sides is not on the same level."

"I now even suspect that they have secretly divided the seats."

"Then give it to them." Li Ming said casually, "Let this organization exist in name only."

"Give it to them?" Anduin couldn't understand why the Azure Dragon said that so easily. He said helplessly, "There are too many X-level lifeforms. It's impossible to reach a consensus. No one is leading the resistance. Everyone is careful about their reputation and will obey orders."

Every unofficial X-level life form has risen through various difficulties and is not a simple character.

But that's the problem. If they were all stupid, it would be easier to deal with.

If someone gives a call, others will naturally follow, but everyone is very smart.

The first guy who takes the lead will inevitably be targeted by the three major civilizations, so no one will come out to be the leader.

In fact, even if a leader emerges, they will have to wait and see for a while.

If the three major civilizations really want to take over, most people will probably be obedient.

Anduin believed that with Qinglong's knowledge, he was able to see this, so how could he say "it's none of my business".

Li Ming did not respond, but pondered in his heart that Anduin seemed to attach too much importance to this seat, and he really didn't feel anything.

But on second thought, he understood why this difference existed.

The star beast has been obtained, so mixing the gene seeds is not a big problem.

His goal is solid and right there.

Once you become an X-level life form, most, or even all, of your current concerns and worries will naturally be cleared away.

But for Anduin, Anatoly, and even Gustav, they did not have such a solid goal.

The road ahead for evolution is extremely bleak, with only a tiny glimmer of hope tugging at their hearts.

When it comes to hanging out in the interstellar space, status and power are of paramount importance, and the danger of life and death cannot be ignored.

That's why we have to compete with the three major civilizations.

Seeing Qinglong remain silent, Anduin continued, "The three major civilizations have long wanted to reshuffle their forces. There are still too many uncontrollable X-level life forms in the interstellar space. This isn't the first time they've attempted to annihilate places like the Chaos Gap."

"If our seats are replaced, I'm afraid..." Anduin stopped there.

Li Ming thought for a moment, "So, how are you going to deal with this?"

Anduin cheered up a bit. "We need to keep at least one of our seats. Logically speaking, yours is the best chance."

"But I'm afraid someone will bring up the mechanics. You're not allowed to use the mechanics to assist in combat. There's a crucial point we need to clarify: what exactly is your relationship with the Empire and the Federation?"

He asked solemnly, with a hint of hope in his voice.

"Well, they probably won't protect me." Li Ming shook his head. It didn't matter to him. It was just a mutual restraint.

Everyone knows about the corpse, and if they really use it to threaten us, it means they are going to fall out.

Anduin's expression darkened slightly as he frowned and said, "This is troublesome. With my strength, it will be difficult to keep this position. I can only use an alternative method."

"What method?" Li Ming couldn't help but become interested when he heard that.

Anduin said solemnly, "The challenge system for the seat doesn't specify the specific circumstances. We can just find someone to take your challenge seat and delay the process."

"A bug?" Li Ming did not find it funny. Logically speaking, this kind of trick was not worthy of being mentioned in a high-class society, but he had no discrimination against conspiracies and tricks.

"I've estimated that this method can only be used on you," Anduin explained. "You're involved in the Red River Star Stream incident. Even if the three major civilizations won't help you, they won't force you on this matter."

"It might not sound good, but as long as I can keep my seat, it's fine. If that doesn't work, I can go a step further and have you severely injured in the challenge, making you unable to fight. That should be fine, right?"

Li Ming's eyes were magical, and he did not think this method was outrageous. Instead, he felt that it was extremely feasible.

He estimated in his heart that Adam from the Empire still had plans for him and would definitely not pursue the matter.

The Star Alliance just made a deal with him last time, turning hostility into friendship, so they shouldn't mess with him.

It’s hard to say about the Federation, but they know about the existence of the Mechanical Holy Spirit. After considering all factors, I guess they will turn a blind eye.

As long as he bites the seriously injured to death and refuses to fight, it seems that no one is willing to step in to deal with him. As for wild X-level life forms, there is no need to worry.

"This matter is worth considering." Li Ming did not refuse. After all, it was Anduin who planned this matter, so he didn't have to worry about it.

"In that case, I'll go find someone right away." Anduin breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Qinglong would refuse this proposal for the sake of face.

"But this method can only delay things for a while, or for a lifetime." Li Ming reminded.

Anduin shook his head. "It was originally just a backup plan. If no one takes advantage of your status as a mechanic and allows mechanical bodies to assist in combat, this method will be useless."

"Someone is picking on us. Let's delay it for now. Once other higher life forms react, they can support you and the problem won't be a big deal."

Li Ming was surprised by another point, "Your Excellency, do you have such confidence in me?"

"Of course..." Anduin said without hesitation. This was the confidence given to him by combining information from various sources.

"Okay." Li Ming didn't take this matter too seriously.

Instead, he was extremely concerned about Anduin's investigation into the Holy Mother Church and asked for many details before ending the communication.

Li Ming stroked his chin and couldn't help but sigh, "It's no wonder they're a force that can survive the siege of half the galaxy. Their ability to shrink is truly remarkable."

The Holy Mother Church really knows what is important and what is not. That arm is the most important thing now. They have almost cut off all the tentacles outside, leaving no clues.

Andoin has been searching for more than a year, but still has found nothing.

"...Expansion..." Li Ming muttered, then asked, "Suzaku, where is Teng Snake?"

Suzaku's soft voice responded, "Master, we have arrived at the Burgundy Stargate node. We will reach the designated location in approximately ten days."

"We haven't arrived yet. How remote is that place?" Li Ming shook his head. Teng Snake was an S-class mechanical body under his command.

He was sent out by Li Ming on the way back from the deserted waterway.

He went to the relevant coordinates provided by the Empire, the destination being the "Overlord-class Titan Laboratory".

This laboratory had been built several months ago, and invitations had been extended to the three master craftsmen.

It is definitely impossible for them to go there in person, so they can just send a mechanical body as a token of their appreciation.

After asking, Li Ming turned around and went to the laboratory, preparing to create several S-level control objects according to the memorandum.

One of the [Earth-Shaking Fists] has already degenerated, leaving another one empty in the control column.

But Li Ming is not planning to create the [Earth-Shaking Fist] again. This kind of power blessing is not that meaningful and cannot achieve qualitative change.

The current main combat system is mainly based on strength, with speed provided by [Vortex Swift Shadow], and physical strength provided by [Life Power Core], but there is no defense blessing.

When we were weaker in the past, we basically used tank defense as the main means of defense, but now it is different.

Both [Vortex Swift Shadow] and [Life Power Core] have their own unique abilities, which are far more important than data blessings.

There will definitely be defensive enhancements. Now that we have everything we need, we naturally have to experiment with it.

Li Ming was full of energy. The giant silver-white explosion-proof metal door of the laboratory in front of him had been opened, and the circular ceiling light also lit up with cold white light, reflecting the brand new laboratory.

The material storage cabinet embedded in the wall automatically slides out, and several high-grade metal materials of different specifications are lined up on the magnetic levitation track and waiting.

The quantum welding arm on the central workbench has been preheated, and the tip is glowing with a dark red light.

"Tsk..." Li Ming looked around at the various new instruments and equipment, and his hands couldn't help but feel itchy.

A few days later, he grabbed two special-shaped titanium plates and buckled them into the positioning fixture. The welding arm immediately sprayed a blue-purple arc. The splashing metal slag was captured by the circular vacuum cleaner and condensed into glowing spherical crystals on the surface of the filter.

Twenty-four gear blanks were raised on the miniature forging table on the left. Li Ming simultaneously adjusted the parameters of the gravity punch press, and the punching sound and the hum of the welding arc formed a stable frequency.

Three hours later, the fully assembled shield generator prototype popped out from the workbench, consisting of twenty-four spindle-shaped crystals.

Li Ming inserted the neural connection chip into the interface, and twenty-four crystal structures suddenly lit up, and then quickly swirled around him, quickly outlining crystal rays.

It forms a substantial defensive shield. Not only that, the main body is also shuttling at high intensity.

During the test, the high-energy ray gun blasted out a five-centimeter-long plasma cutting blade.

The blade edge swept across the test steel target, and the metal remaining at the cut was in a semi-molten glassy state.

But when it swept across the energy shield around him, it did not cause any damage.

The display screen on the wall jumps and refreshes:

-

Defense Strength——160S-

Energy reduction - 10%

Li Ming took a quick glance, and the details of the control he touched were--

[Prism Fusion Defense Shield - Grade A: A defense shield casually cast by the master craftsman Li Ming.

Control conditions: 6 million metal energy

Control effect: Defense increased by 500%

Control Ability - Crystallization: Increase by 1000%, gain 10% damage reduction. 】

"10% damage reduction is already good, but the tank's damage reduction is already 40%. The two cannot be superimposed, so we can only take the highest value." Li Ming pondered, then shook his head, threw it aside, and continued to manufacture.

After several days of clanging and jingling, he finally had a gorgeous set of combat armor in his hands.

[Cut-off combat armor--Class A: An experimental product forged by the master craftsman Ming.

Control conditions: 7 million metal energy

Control effect: Defense increased by 800%

Control Ability - Heavy Armor: Gain 1600% defense and deflect enemy attacks.

Li Ming's eyes lit up slightly. This ability is not bad. It should undergo a transformation when it is upgraded to a high level.

It only took a little time, and soon it was brand new.

[Shadow Sky Combat Armor--S-level: A defensive combat armor customized for Li Ming, the master craftsman.

…

Control effect: Defense increased by 3000%

Control Ability - Heavy Armor: Gain 6000% defense and gain the "Void" ability.

[Void: Can briefly enter a quantum virtual state, allowing attacks to pass through without causing damage.]

Not bad, Li Ming nodded with satisfaction. It was about the same as he expected. The ability was very good.

After getting this thing, he did not stop and continued to experiment intensively, including the mental defense control device.

This is one of his shortcomings. At this level of life, there are many people who are good at mental power.

Another day, he held a crystal helmet in his hand--

[Spiritual Defense Helmet--Level A]

The ability is [Mental Blocking], which forms a defensive barrier on the surface of the mental body.

Mental barrier? Not very good... He shook his head. He was afraid that more than just his mental body would be destroyed.

Being defeated is also considered a fatal attack and can trigger the [Life Power Core].

What he feared was being bewitched.

"Thinking about it this way, I should manufacture in the direction of early warning rather than defense." He found a new idea.
