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...

Yu Zhili hesitated for a moment, looked around, and said with a helpless smile:
"Brother, you have such a good relationship with Minister Qin, why didn't you tell me earlier? I did something wrong before, please forgive me, please forgive me."
Qin Xiao? Li Ming immediately understood that this guy was trying to win people's hearts.
Yu Zhili apologized repeatedly, but Li Ming magnanimously said it was okay, sent him away, and returned to Yang's store.
But then Old Yang rubbed his back and said, "Strange things happen every year. Yesterday, your Minister Qin sent someone to say that it was unsafe recently and wanted to take Yu'er and me to the dormitory near the City Guard Building."
"Today, this Yu guy just said he didn't want a house worth hundreds of thousands of star coins. Surprisingly, he didn't want it anymore."
"Really..." Li Ming paused slightly. This old fox has so many little tricks.
"What do you mean?"
Mr. Yang said nonchalantly: "What's the safety issue? I've lived here for decades without incident. All my neighbors are still here. I'm not used to moving."
After chatting for a while, Yang Yu mentioned something, "I heard from the teacher that among the Blue Star personnel accompanying the interstellar review team this time, there is a professor from Capital University of Technology who is very prestigious."
"He has entrusted the Silver Ash Star Ministry of Education to meet with us, the students who have been admitted to Capital University of Technology."
"Professor?" It was the first time that Li Ming learned about the relevant information about Blue Star's accompanying personnel. He didn't expect it to be from Yang Yu.
"Yes... Wu Yanqing, Professor Wu." Yang Yu said with longing. "His theory of gene seed purification has been adopted by several famous interstellar laboratories. It even sparked a craze in the Silver Cluster and several nearby star clusters."
"However, it seems to have been disproven in the past two years. His reputation has declined in the past two years. It's a pity that he stopped taking students several years ago. It would be great if I could be his student."
Yang Yu sighed, obviously not holding out any hope for this.
Li Ming just listened and didn't care and went home.
………
Outside Silver Ash City
Buzz! The silver-white gull-winged spacecraft hovered over the sand dunes, its azure anti-gravity rings sending swirls of flying sand. The hatch opened, and several figures jumped out.
"Only a month has passed, and the planet has already become like this." The old man holding the pipe sighed with emotion. "The Sixth Patrol Fleet may be a bunch of good-for-nothings, but it's certainly enough to suppress this place."
"Find the target as quickly as possible. If we get blocked here by the Sixth Patrol Fleet, we'll be in trouble."
"clear."
………
"Old Li, your son is such a monster. You must have lied to me before, fearing that your son would go down this path." The lame man muttered as he walked in the quiet sewer.
Suddenly, he stopped moving and looked up, "Well, this should be it."
The bed was quietly pushed up. The lame man looked around with a look of emotion in his eyes, "Old Li, I... fuck again!"
The lame man shuddered with fear and saw a figure leaning against the door frame.
Li Ming's eyes were strange, "Uncle Lame, your way of appearing is really unique."
"You kid..." The lame man's face turned red, and he was angry about his previous loss of composure.
But then a terrifying thought came to his mind. The last time he came, Li Ming didn't notice anything and slept like a dead pig.
But this time, it seemed as if he was waiting for him here, and he was completely unaware of his existence just now.
This kid...is improving so fast.
"You didn't even tell me you were coming." Li Ming almost took action.
The lame man looked Li Ming up and down, but didn't say anything. He disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Li Ming's eyes moved slightly, and his figure disappeared at the same time, bang!
A dull thud was heard in the air, and a few seconds later, the lame man returned to his original position, and so did Li Ming.
"Good boy!" The lame man's eyes were full of astonishment, "How can you be an E-level life form!?"
After a simple test, he figured out Li Ming's current strength.
Not only that, he found that Li Ming's fighting skills and habits were also very familiar.
He and Li Changhai are exactly the same.
Damn, that bastard Old Li really hid something from me. He said that his son was not good at this or that, but he had secretly taught him all his skills.
"It's complicated to explain, but in short, I'm a genius," Li Ming said frankly.
The cripple choked, "Where did you get your E-grade gene seed?"
"The City Guard gave it to me."
"You joined the city guard?" The lame man was even more puzzled.
Li Ming asked doubtfully, "You didn't watch the news?"
“Who pays attention to such small-town news?”
Li Ming took out the smart terminal and started playing.
"…My father taught me since I was a child…to be brave and strong…"
The lame man looked for a while, then looked up at Li Ming, then looked down for a while, and then looked up again.
"What are you doing?" he asked puzzled.
The lame man was silent for a long time before he said quietly, "Old Li, are you really sure that you are his biological son?"
Li Ming smiled wryly, "What are you talking about? Why don't you go down and ask him?"
The lame man sighed, "Old Li is a simple and honest person. How could you have such a personality when you grew up with him?"
Li Ming didn't respond, but instead asked, "Why are you back again?"
"You've caused such a big commotion, how could I not come back?" The lame man suddenly realized and asked, "That's not right. How come your development progress is so fast?"
"I've already told you, I'm a genius."
The lame man was speechless and said, "You're making too much noise. You'd better be quieter. If those people notice you, you'll be in trouble."
"It's too late for you. I've already killed one." Li Ming said calmly.
"..." The lame man didn't know what to think. The shock he had suffered today was too great. He looked terrified and said, "They're here already?"
"Only one came, and he seemed to think I was easy to deal with. The rest should be dealt with soon." Li Ming said casually.
"Aren't you afraid?" The lame man stared at Li Ming, but did not show any fear or uneasiness.
"Is fear useful?" Li Ming asked back. The lame man was silent again, with a complex expression on his face, helplessness, emotion, and a little bit of tragedy?
Li Mingze shrugged: "Uncle Lame, tell me, who are you, who are they, and what is going on?"
"This matter..." The lame man opened his mouth and closed it again, as if he didn't know where to start. He sighed and said, "It's a clichéd story."
"Your father and I were once soldiers on Blue Star. Later, we were favored by a powerful figure and joined a secret force to carry out some shady missions."
“…”
Lame man slowly narrated that they were not an ace unit, nor did they have any earth-shattering and touching stories. They were just an assassination unit called "Fierce Dragon" that specialized in doing dirty work.
The story ends with a political extermination case. The youngest heir of an old political family on Blue Star escapes with his life and, with the help of advanced civilization, makes a comeback.
The time span is very long, and the JF-17 has been disbanded for five or six years.
"So, all of you retired ones will be eliminated as well?" Li Ming frowned.
The lame man sighed, "Yes, he is now a powerful figure on Blue Star. He only needs to say a word, and someone will mobilize a lot of resources to help him."
After hearing this story, Li Ming was not emotionally moved. It was just a matter of revenge.
"They are called [Jin], and each team consists of about five people. The captain's strength must be no less than the target to be eliminated. Your father is an E-level life form, so he should not be higher." The lame man emphasized, fearing that Li Ming would not care.
"E-level life forms also have strengths and weaknesses. Even ten F-level life forms wouldn't be enough to fill the gap of one energy level."
The lame man sighed, "More importantly, even if they can't do anything in public, they can still use a lot of official resources in secret."
"You are in the light, and they are in the dark, this is troublesome.
"I understand." Li Ming nodded and whispered, "Actually, I already have a plan, but it's a little difficult to implement it by myself. With you here, it should be much easier."
"Tell me about it." The lame man didn't care much at first. After all, Li Ming was too young and the plan might have many loopholes.
But as Li Ming continued to talk, his expression gradually changed. Finally, he was dumbfounded and stared at Li Ming, "You... are so cruel."
"Just tell me if it's feasible."
The lame man thought deeply for a moment and nodded, "It's simple and crude, but it's indeed feasible. If it succeeds, it will definitely cause a huge uproar, and those people will probably be on pins and needles."
"In that case, please let Uncle Lame prepare."
The two discussed some details until late at night.
They decided to act separately. It was not safe to stay here any longer. In order to avoid accidents, Li Ming decided to go to the City Guard Building first.
It's just that Elder Yang and Yang Yu...
"Don't worry, they're just like us before, and the rules should be similar. Just eliminate the target, and don't allow any more trouble. The more people you kill, the more trouble you'll have to deal with." The lame man explained:
"They are also not recorded. If they are caught, they will be responsible for all their actions."
When we arrived at the City Guard Building, the overall atmosphere was very solemn. The bounty hunters' counterattack was becoming more and more serious. I chatted with several members of the special operations team.
Over the past two days, more than a dozen city guards have died, all of them F-level life forms. The Wild Dog Gang and the Rose Society have also suffered heavy losses in the past two days, and many cadres have received bounties.
"Ah, those bounty hunters are really desperate, using every possible means. Damn, do you dare to imagine that there is a bomb hidden in their stomach?" The colleague with a broken arm cursed angrily, and the injury was pulled, and he grimaced.
Bounty hunters are in a business that is very dangerous and they use more desperate means than anyone else.
Early the next morning, he couldn't wait to check the progress of gene development.
"It's still 1%. As expected, this passive development is surprisingly slow."
The conditions for developing E-level gene seeds are even more stringent, and at least a private training room like the one in the City Guard Building is required. It is already abnormal that he can accumulate small amounts into large ones.
In the afternoon, Li Ming changed his appearance and left the City Guard Building to pick up his six tons of zirconium crystal alloy.
Li Ming was extremely cautious along the way. According to his estimation, the people from [Jin] should have arrived.
He carefully concealed his traces to avoid being ambushed. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened until he absorbed all the metal energy and returned to the City Guard Building.
The dried-up metal energy was replenished again, reaching 6633 points, which made Li Ming feel a lot more at ease, as it was enough to deal with emergencies.
At night, Minister Qin delivered an internal speech and summoned members of the special operations team.
