Chapter 151: The Land of Stars, Want to Run Away
"Li Ming, where is your suitcase?" Ford suddenly remembered and looked around.
"Lost it."
"Lost? You don't want the weapons inside?" Ford asked in surprise.
Li Ming said casually, "Let's travel light. I still remember the place. I'll go get it when I have time."
"Oh, little junior brother, this is the first time we meet, but I have heard Lao Luo and the teacher mention you several times," Yaluo talked to Li Ming enthusiastically.
"Senior Brother, I also hear Senior Brother Luo mention you often." Li Ming also flattered.
"Oh." Yaluo became interested. "What did Lao Luo say about me?"
Li Ming's expression paused slightly. Couldn't Senior Brother Ya Luo hear that he was flattering him?
Just give him a compliment. You can't ask him to make up a reason to praise you. That would be too much.
"Shut up." Luo Chuan said impatiently.
Yaluo was a little slow to react, but finally understood. Without feeling embarrassed, he said to Li Ming, "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Yaluo - Wind Hunter."
"Wind Hunter?" Li Ming didn't quite understand: "Is this the suffix of Senior Brother's name?"
"That's my nickname," Yaluo explained.
Li Ming: “…”
"To survive in the interstellar world, you definitely need some nicknames. These aren't self-selected, most are based on deeds and the praise of friends." Yaluo said as a matter of course.
"When I was in the Land of Stars, I was like the wind, drifting ethereally, so people gave me the nickname, the Wind Hunter."
"A falling meteorite could kill several C-level life forms in the Land of Stars." Luo Chuan sneered, "Don't embarrass yourself."
Li Ming seemed to be thinking about something, but he became interested and asked what the Land of Stars was.
"It's a no-man's land. It's located near the Red River Star Stream and borders several nearby star clusters. It's in a massive meteorite belt, and the electromagnetic interference is extremely severe. It's a paradise for wanderers, looters, and criminals from the nearby star clusters."
Based on what Ya Luo said, Li Ming had a rough idea of it: it was a chaotic place filled with powerful life forms.
"Is Yitlan unable to handle this place?" Li Ming asked thoughtfully.
"Forget the Itlan civilization. The advanced civilizations in several nearby star clusters have assembled coalition forces more than once, only to be defeated each time." Yaluo said without hesitation, "Those large interstellar plundering groups there include many A-level life forms."
"There are also A-level life forms." Li Ming was also a little surprised.
"It's not a crushing defeat." After listening for a long time, Ford finally couldn't help but correct him: "The interstellar environment in that place is special. Once the coalition forces are assembled, most people will flee to the Red River Star Stream."
"Waiting for the coalition forces to retreat and then returning again, each gathering wastes a lot of energy and achieves nothing."
"But the A-level life forms inside don't dare to come out easily. Once they are discovered, they will be besieged."
Yaluo didn't care about being refuted and said nonchalantly: "Yes, yes, you are right. Anyway, the Land of the Stars has been fine for so many years."
Ford became angry and wanted to explain, but turned away. There was no point in explaining to such a person.
Castellon added, "Actually, this is a kind of ecological balance. There are always criminals in the interstellar world. If they have a place to go, they will cause less trouble."
There are many reasons for the existence of the Land of Stars, and Yaluo highly praised it in his words.
In his words, in the land of stars, there is nothing that cannot be enjoyed and nothing that cannot be achieved.
It sounds like this land of stars is a good place to go.
"It seems that you are quite curious. Why don't you go shopping with me? I will protect you." Ya Luo teased.
Everyone looked at him strangely, half-smiling, and Luo Chuan said indifferently, "We still don't know who will protect whom."
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Yaluo didn't quite understand, and no one explained it to him. He looked at Luo Chuan dissatisfiedly: "You wrongly accused me of killing Fu Zongchen last time, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."
Luochuan ignored him.
Li Ming was secretly thinking that if he wanted to develop rapidly, metal energy and various weapons and equipment would be indispensable.
In the interstellar space, almost all civilizations have weapons control regulations.
The weapons control on Blue Star is already strict enough, and can only be purchased through the Black Hole Network.
Not to mention that within the territory of the Itlan civilization, although its civilization level is higher, the constraints he faces will undoubtedly be more severe.
On Blue Star, he still had to act with caution. But in the Itlan civilization, even the basic monitoring equipment was much higher-level than that on Blue Star. Being under surveillance all the time was even more troublesome.
Not to mention killing and setting fire, even when absorbing metal materials, one must be cautious.
More importantly, Princess Asmara would not protect him. If she discovered any clues about him, she might become even more curious about him and kill him directly.
There is no need to say more about how cruel and ruthless this woman is. Staying around her or having contact with her is a big trouble.
But if he wants to run away, he must choose a good place, a place where he can develop unrestrainedly and find a large supply of resources.
This place full of stars seems pretty good.
"However, we must first obtain the C-grade gene seed," Li Ming calculated.
If I buy it on Black Hole Online, I don’t know how long it will take to save money.
At worst, I could go to the Itlan civilization, get the C-level gene seeds, and then find a chance to escape.
But, if I really go there, can I still come out? Or should I ask Ford first?
He was thinking all the way and had already arrived at the main ship in the sky.
The heavy hatch opened, and they landed on the deck. Someone was already waiting for them. It was a young man. He nodded slightly and said, "Welcome, everyone."
"Isius!" Ford's face suddenly darkened. Li Ming noticed it keenly and his heart moved slightly.
"Mr. Castellon, please go and rest for a while. Earl Ford and Mr. Li Ming, please follow me."
Isius made arrangements calmly. After the others left, a smile spread across his face and he said to Ford, "My dear brother, I'm glad that your life is not in danger."
Ford's face was dark and he said nothing.
"I heard that you murdered Caroline with your wits. I'm really impressed." Isius didn't seem to want Ford to respond, and said to himself, "I never thought that one day I would hear the word wisdom in you."
"Isius, isn't Princess Asmara waiting?" Ford's voice was cold.
"Yes, yes." Isius smiled, turned around and led the way, "Follow me."
During this process, his eyes never fell on Li Ming.
Of course Li Ming didn't care about this. As a normal person, he just stood next to Ford, and the other party would definitely glance at him once or twice.
This was not even under his own control, and Isius never showed this kind of behavior. Either he was really arrogant and looked down on others, or he did it on purpose.
A show of force? Li Ming smiled inconspicuously.
Walk through the corridor and take the internal elevator to the top floor.
"Please wait." Isius did not turn his head until he reached the black door. The door was engraved with complex geometric patterns. These patterns formed a special energy circuit on the surface of the door.
He turned around and smiled, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that the Torch Organization dispatched six B-level life forms. Four have been killed, one captured alive, and one is still at large."
"You killed a Fireworks Apostle and were made an Earl. What do you think I will be?"
Ford's face looked ugly. His father had spent a lot of money to improve his merits.
But immediately afterwards, Isius had even greater achievements sweeping in, and they were very vivid analogies.
With his example in front of him, Isius's contribution will be greatly elevated, which is equivalent to saying that part of his father's efforts became Isius's wedding dress.
"Who is this guy?" Li Ming asked when he saw him enter the room.
"Isius, the king's sixteenth child, joined Princess Asmara's army two years ago." Ford introduced in a bad tone.
"So it's the prince." Li Ming suddenly realized: "No wonder he's so arrogant."
"With a potential of fourteen, he's already a C-class life form. It's said he can temporarily unleash the primary form of the Flame Thunder Emperor." Ford couldn't help but feel jealous when he said this: "Did you see the ring on his hand?"
"The ring on your hand?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows. "I really didn't notice it. What's wrong?"
"Over half a year ago, he followed Princess Asmara to the Xingyuan Empire. It's said that a certain important figure particularly appreciated him and gifted him with a Warp-Folding Mechanical Ring."
"Subspace folding?" Li Ming looked over suddenly. "Space ring?"
"You could say that." Ford nodded and said sadly, "Although the space is small and can only hold small items, it is also a symbol."
He sighed but received no response, then he realized that the green light in Li Ming's eyes was almost becoming real.
"What's wrong with you?" Ford frowned.
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Ming shook his head and collected his thoughts.
Ford looked at him and whispered, "You have to be careful. Isius is not an arrogant person. On the contrary, he is very polite."
"He was just ignoring you. It's probably because you've been getting too close to me lately, and Princess Asmara is upset, so she wants to punish you."
“It makes you feel less important.”
"I know." Li Ming glanced at him. "You think there's no surveillance equipment here? Why are you saying that on purpose?"
Ford smiled awkwardly. Since Li Ming now knew too much, he didn't want Li Ming to fall into Princess Asmara's arms.
It would be better to bind the two of them together tightly, so that this guy won’t have to use his black material as a token of allegiance.
After waiting for a while, the door opened. The two men looked solemn, but it was not Isius who came out.
"Teacher?" Li Ming was slightly stunned.
Wu Yanqing walked over quickly, and Ford nodded slightly, "Professor."
"Your Highness, the princess lets you in." Wu Yanqing said to Ford.
"Myself?" Ford was puzzled.
"Well, go ahead. Don't keep the princess waiting for too long." Wu Yanqing's expression showed no clues. Ford hesitated a little, glanced at Li Ming, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the room as if he was going to die.
However, Wu Yanqing took Li Ming in the opposite direction and turned into another room.
"Sit down." Wu Yanqing asked him to sit down. "I hope everything is fine this time."
"It was a close call," Li Ming replied solemnly. "Thank you for your concern, teacher."
Wu Yanqing glanced at him and asked, "Did you think I was the one who suggested using you to fish?"
"How is that possible? How could you think that, teacher?" Li Ming was horrified and quickly denied: "Exterminating the Torch is the duty of every civilized citizen of the Silver Star Cluster."
"Heh..." Wu Yanqing laughed angrily. "To tell you the truth, I did go to see Princess Asmara. However, it wasn't because of the torch, but because of the C-level gene seed."
"C-grade gene seed?" Li Ming paused slightly.
"Indeed, Asmara is too vicious and cold-hearted." Wu Yanqing had barely finished speaking when Li Ming interrupted him, "Teacher, Princess Asmara just saved me from a dangerous situation. How could you insult her like this?"
The surveillance camera was right there in the corner, and Old Wu was too bold to speak.
"Don't worry, they can't see or hear you." Wu Yanqing shook his head silently and continued, "If you go to the Itlan civilization, you will definitely be asked to take sides. Asmara will eat you up completely."
"I suspect that if she were to make another breakthrough in her sublimation particle fusion technology, the minimum requirement wouldn't need to be level 20 anymore."
Li Ming's heart tightened slightly, as he was also worried about this.
"So I wanted to get C-level gene seeds for you in advance, so that you don't have to go to the Itlan civilization and can just find a place to hide." Wu Yanqing sighed.
As for the B-level gene seeds, the Itlan civilization will not give them away easily, so there is no need to consider them for the time being.
Li Ming was even more surprised. He didn't expect that Old Wu had the same idea as him. The wind was strong and he ran away.
Knowing that it is a huge whirlpool with unpredictable waves, but still jumping into it, wouldn’t that be stupid?
Asmara started to cause trouble before I even went to Itlan. What would happen if I went there?
"But at that time, information about Caroline's operation was transmitted from Jingnanxing."
"Asmara was keenly aware that the Torch was about to launch a major operation, and she immediately dispatched the Wing Shadow Fleet. On the way, she learned of Caroline's death and the Torch's plan to use you to tear Jingnan Star apart."
"She guessed that since Torch had invested so much resources in the early stages, you would definitely have a follow-up."
"So, she waited nearby to see how many people the Torch could send," Li Ming added.
"Yes." Wu Yanqing shook his head.
"Then, what about the gene seeds?" Li Ming asked expectantly.
"It's in the hands of Princess Asmamara." Wu Yanqing said helplessly.
Li Ming's face darkened. So you didn't do anything, old man?
Wu Yanqing noticed the hint in Li Ming's eyes and said unhappily, "It's because you and Ford were so close, and you even followed his orders to kill Sun Jingan. Do you think Asmara would be happy if she knew?"
"Unexpected situation." Li Ming laughed awkwardly and said, "Who told you not to reply to my message and inform me in advance?"
Wu Yanqing glared at him. How could he know that Li Ming could cause such a big storm?
"Asmara still wants to recruit you, but she wants to teach you a lesson. The gene seed was given to Isius, and you have met him." Wu Yanqing continued.
"Yes, he did. He didn't even look at me or say a word to me the whole time." Li Ming nodded.
"Hmph." Wu Yanqing sneered. "Same old trick. She wants to wear down your edge and arrogance so that you can flatter Isius."
"You're still so confident. Even with this method, I'm not afraid of your backlash."
Li Ming remained silent. He was not angry at all, but Old Wu was very angry.
"Let's not talk about that for now. How much progress have you made in development?" Old Wu asked.
"60%." Li Ming thought for a moment and said about 10% less.
"So fast?" Old Wu's hands trembled and his eyes stared at Li Ming.
Please vote for me at the end of the month, thank you bosses!
