Chapter 117: The Grand Upgrade and Reborn System is Initially Completed (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Putting away the Tepper mecha, Li Ming thought about upgrading the Tank 211 to Class C first, and 70,000 points of metal energy were lost.
[Tank Guard - Type 1 Heavy Combat Mecha - Class C: A mecha with almost no weapon modules and excellent defensive performance.
Control effect: Defense blessing--250%
Control Ability——Tank Guard: Increases defense by 500%.
As a C-class armor, the Tank Guard is rather mediocre.
The overall appearance has changed a lot. The heavy silver combat armor has become a real mecha, and the alloy on the surface is integrated.
No longer connected by fiber lining, all joints have become alloy transmission structures, plus coupled hydraulic power assistance.
The whole thing looks like a solid block of iron, giving people an unparalleled sense of security.
The pure defensive blessing brought to Li Ming by this one item alone is nearly eight times, and the toughness of his skin has changed significantly, as if it has turned into soft alloy.
It’s not over yet, Li Ming strengthened the heavy earth mother ore on the tank mecha.
The khaki light enveloped the entire combat mecha, as if it was carefully carved by an invisible hand. Metal powder floated around, forming a yellow electrified whirlwind around it, and finally merged into it.
Finally, Tanwei's appearance was completely changed. The thick iron mountain became much thinner, and the silver alloy parts on the surface were covered with layers of khaki patterns.
[Tank Guard Heavy Combat Mecha - Class C: This defensive armor has almost no weapon modules. It is reinforced with heavy earth mother ore, and its defensive performance has almost reached the extreme.
…
Control effect: Defense blessing--300%
Control Ability - Tank Guard: Increases defense by 500% and gains Stoneskin.
Stone skin?
Li Ming's mind was slightly shaken, and he immediately switched control and tried to use this ability.
Suddenly, I felt something strange in my body. My soft skin gradually turned grayish white, as if covered with a layer of stone, and became more solid.
This made his defense increase by more than one level again. In this case, D-level life forms would definitely not be able to break his defense, and it was hard to say for C-level life forms with a low level of development.
There is also a 5% physical damage reduction brought by [Rock Solid].
However, if one wants to upgrade the Tank Guard again, the metal energy required has reached 900,000, a terrifying number.
However, the upgrade was not over yet, and another 70,000 points of metal energy were lost.
[G-A2 Strong Generative Constructed Crystal Shield - Class C: Faster construction speed, more accurate area coverage.
…
Control effect: Defense blessing--250%
Control Ability - Construct Crystal Shield: Can form a defensive crystal shield within a 2-meter range of the body, covering a range of 5 meters.
There were originally only three structural crystals, but now there are five. The surface is smoother, the diamond structure is clearly layered, and the interior is crystal clear.
Another 250% defense boost. After switching, Li Ming felt that the stone skin had become much more solid. With a slight movement of his mind, a layer of bright blue crystal shield emerged and enveloped his body.
Again! Another 80,000 points of metal energy flowed.
[Silver-gray high-speed nanoparticles--Class C: Armor impregnated with silver-gray mother ore into nanoparticles, obtained after multiple upgrades.
………
Control effect: Physical strength boost--300%
Control Ability - Fusion: Silver-gray particles can be fused with any control object of the same level, doubling its performance without occupying the control column.
The surging nanoparticles rise and fall like waves.
Also! Ninety thousand points of metal can be smashed in.
[Thunder Armored Exoskeleton--Class C: It is upgraded multiple times through ordinary machine repair lathes and mixed with cloud thunder mother ore.
…
Control effect: Strength blessing -200%
Control Ability - Armored Four Arms: Evolves into six mechanical arms to assist in combat, and grants 100% control of the lightning element.
During the upgrade, the electromagnetic storm became more intense, with ions surging and even causing the lights in the room to flicker. The laboratory workers asked him what happened through voice, but he evaded the question.
It’s still not over yet, the last one is 100,000 points of metal energy.
[Justice Armguards--Rank C: The fist of justice only falls on sinners!
…
Control ability: Strength blessing--200%
Control Effect - Justice Fighting: Additional 500% Strength]
The originally light golden metal boxing gloves turned into alloy arm armor covering the entire arm, and the palm part was as big as a basketball.
This thing is a data monster. The strength blessing is relatively "expensive". At the same level, the defense blessing can reach up to 300%, but the strength is only 200%.
This one is a 700% power blessing.
A full 410,000 points of metal energy were poured down, and in return, the result was a complete transformation of strength.
Switch the controlled objects to [Tank Guard Armor], [Justice Gauntlets], [Magnetic Boots], [Silver-Gray Particles]...
This is his current comprehensive combat form, with eight times the defense blessing plus stone skin ability, seven times the strength blessing, three times the physical strength, and six times the speed blessing.
Strength, defense, speed, and physical strength are all included.
The last one can be replaced at will, [Thunder Exoskeleton], [Prism Ion Sword], [Tepper Mecha], focusing on strength, speed or defense.
In this state, it should be possible to play with life forms that have just fused with C-level gene seeds, and the difference in various data will not be too big.
Of course, this is just a combat style. If you stack one aspect alone, it will be even more terrifying, but except for the speed enhancement that can be filled up with a few pairs of shoes, the rest are much worse.
The mechanical hammer I found last time when I went to Professor Xia's place was pretty good. It had a passive power bonus. I asked Ding Hui to get a few for me. He kept them in mind.
Of course, this combat state is only the first form.
With a thought, the heavy tank armor emerged, and silver nanoparticles moved on the surface, like a tide, creating waves.
Five prismatic crystals were suspended around, emitting crystal lines that quickly formed a crystal shield.
Six thick, bright blue robotic arms slowly extended from its back, with electric arcs surging on the surface. The ends turned into energy beamers that could mimic the electric arcs into electromagnetic palms and even emit beams of energy.
In his hand he held a prism ion sword, and as his mind moved slightly, the tank armor on his body and the prism ion sword in his hand were both filled with the light of thunder and fire.
boom!
Thunder and fire shot up into the sky, swirling around and creating ripples. The floor exploded completely, and the aura was terrifying, like a knight of thunder and flame.
"In this state, I should be able to play with C-level life forms that are no more than 60% developed." Li Ming pondered. "Facing a C-level life form that has awakened its core ability, surviving should not be a big problem."
The materialized use is a very important part of his combat power. His whole body is covered with C-level weapons, so defense and offense are not a problem. The only thing is that his speed is a bit slow.
In this state, he can definitely make up for it with five pairs of shoes.
None of the control objects he upgraded were wasted, and they all played their intended role.
With 200,000 metal energies left, he hesitated whether to upgrade his shoes, but shook his head after a moment.
A pair of C-grade shoes consumes 60,000 metal energy and can increase the overall speed by 300%, but the second pair will be greatly reduced. The active ability cannot be stacked, and the passive ability only increases by 100%.
The consumption is too high and the benefits are not much, so it is better to wait until you become a big spender before upgrading.
"I can run and fight." Li Ming nodded with satisfaction and took a solid step towards the route of controlling the object he had been looking forward to.
As his development progresses, his physical data will increase, and after being amplified by the controlled objects, every 1% of development progress will bring him a huge improvement.
The only problem is the cooldown time for switching controlled objects. Increasing your strength only unlocks the control bar but cannot shorten the time.
He felt that this thing should be able to be reduced in size, but he just hadn't found a way yet.
And when Li Ming was working hard to improve his strength.
In Luochuan's office, he received a call.
But he was not polite at all, and he started to curse angrily: "Who told you to kill Fu Zongchen? At this sensitive moment, you caused such a big mess. What if it leads to bad consequences!"
“…”
He didn't give the other person a chance to speak, and his saliva sprayed everywhere.
"Shut the fuck up!" The other party finally caught a break and angrily hit back: "You're taking the wrong medicine. I'm still out there catching interstellar pirates. How can I have time to go back and kill Fu Zongchen?"
"I just didn't answer your call this morning, and you're putting such a big accusation on me?"
"Wait... Fu Zongchen is dead?" The other party was shocked and confused again.
"You didn't kill him?" Luo Chuan was suspicious. "I thought it was the teacher who ordered you to kill Fu Zongchen."
"The teacher hasn't paid any attention to me for more than half a year." The other party sneered: "You really think highly of me. What's wrong with Fu Zongchen?"
"I attended his inaugural dinner. He was giving a passionate speech when someone shot him in the head," Luo Chuan said simply.
"Zhu Yunshen immediately sealed off the entire villa. General Ren Cangsong also arrived and searched inside and out. They found no bullet holes, no firearms, nothing at all."
"Didn't find anything?" The other party was increasingly suspicious. "Zhu Yunshen is fine, but those guys under Ren Cangsong are not vegetarians."
"Ballistic trajectory inversion? Particle tracing? Three-dimensional state simulation?"
"We've tried every possible method. As Zhu Yunshen said, there are contradictions everywhere, unless someone can control the bullet's deflection." Luo Chuan shook his head. "But even if that's the case, where's the gun?"
"Telekinetic person? Directly controlling bullets?" he said again.
"If he can control the bullet so that even the surveillance cameras can't detect him, what level of psychic do you think he is with such speed?" Luo Chuan said softly.
The other party was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "It seems that Fu Zongchen has offended a ruthless person this time. However, you think too highly of me. I am not at that level yet."
"Actually, there's another bizarre thing." Luo Chuan hesitated and said, "The armor that Prince Baijian gave to Fu Zongchen was stolen."
"Ren Cangsong and Zhu Yunshen turned everyone upside down. Those who were present at the scene were no small matter. In the end, they even turned out their underwear, but they found nothing."
"Wow..." The other party couldn't help but exclaim, "Where did this dragon come from? It has to be at least a Class B life form. I feel like there must be more than one, at least two, working together to complete this plan."
"The question is, who can mobilize two B-level life forms to kill Fu Zongchen?" Luo Chuan said helplessly.
"Could it be, teacher?" the other party hesitated.
"I asked, and it's not true." Luo Chuan smiled bitterly: "Fu Zongchen is not worthy of the teacher doing that."
The two of them didn't come to a conclusion after discussing it for a while, and after chatting for a while, the other party asked about Li Ming again.
“…Level 16 development potential, what do you think?” Luo Chuan said lightly.
"What!?" he exclaimed. "If nothing goes wrong, it's almost 100% possible to become an A-level life form. Where did the teacher find such a supernatural guy?"
"Can the genetic level of our Blue Star produce such high potential?"
"You're surprised by something you haven't seen before." Luo Chuan sneered.
The two chatted for a while before Luo Chuan hung up the phone, his brows furrowed, wondering who had done it.
…
Three days later, a piece of news shocked the Blue Star civilization. Candidate committee member Fu Zongchen was assassinated, causing an uproar.
A spokesperson from the Blue Star senior management stated that the one who attacked Fu Zongchen was most likely the Torch, a terrorist organization from the Silver Star Cluster.
They severely criticized Huo Torch and remembered Fu Zongchen.
…
"Huh... After lurking for five days, I finally killed him." Melodious classical music sounded in the bar. The lame man breathed a sigh of relief, walked around the corpses lying on the ground with fatigue, and sat on a high stool.
He leaned over, took out half a bottle of wine from the bar, poured it for himself, took a sip, felt that the taste was not right, stood up, dug a few ice cubes from the bucket and put them in the glass, took another sip, and nodded in satisfaction.
He pulled off the chain around his neck and struggled to pull out the old smart terminal from under the drawer.
I took a photo, opened the Black Hole Network, and was about to submit the task when I was startled by the dense red dot messages.
"Fuck, old cripple, you're really awesome!"
"You are our hero!"
“…”
"What the hell?" He frowned, thinking something serious had happened. He flipped to the bottom of the page and noticed a notification from Li Ming: "Mission Completed."
He was stunned, his pupils contracted, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, his breathing became rapid, and the beating of his heart roared in his ears. He opened the Star Network with trembling hands, and the first message pushed to him confirmed his guess.
"Really...killed him." The lame man's voice trembled, and he felt that something pressing on his body had completely disappeared.
…
In the south of Beijing, Fu Zongchen's villa is still under strict guard. Various high-end instruments have been brought in, including sound wave detection, high-frequency capture, particle undulators, etc.
Zhu Yunshen rubbed his palms, sparks flying in front of his eyes. A group of city guards were holding plasma welding guns, slowly cutting the safe door in front of them.
This had been going on for two days. As the circular incisions became connected, a small opening was cut out in the vault door, barely enough for the mechanical dog to enter.
The intelligent mechanical dog was awakened and jumped in from the small opening, preparing to open the vault door from the inside.
However, when the robot dog landed and unfolded, the 360-degree panoramic video broadcast shocked everyone present.
"Minister..."
Zhu Yunshen frowned and quickly walked to the front of the screen. His expression suddenly changed. "How could this be!?"
The vault was in a mess, with traces of burns everywhere and solidified iron slurry flowing all over the floor. There was almost nothing left.
Someone has already visited.
Zhu Yunshen's face looked extremely ugly. He was overtaken again and disappeared inexplicably just like the armor.
"It must have been stolen before Commissioner Fu died. All the people coming and going are under our surveillance, so it's impossible for anyone to move out." One of the subordinates speculated.
Zhu Yunshen rubbed his eyebrows and felt exhausted, as if he was being played around by someone.
"Collect data, analyze it, and report it to the investigation team." He waved his hand, looking listless.
Fu Zongchen's death is still under investigation, and an investigation team has even been formed.
The so-called murderer "Torch" is just an explanation to the outside world.
………
The outside world is in turmoil, but Li Ming stays in the laboratory, regardless of the wind and rain. He goes to and from work every day, developing genetic seeds non-stop.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed since the deaths of Fu Zongchen and You Ke.
Please give me a monthly ticket!
