Chapter 152 One person is a legion?
"What is your development potential?" Wu Yanqing stared at him closely.
As a professor in this field, he is well aware of the exponential conversion formula between genetic potential and development progress.
Even the development potential of level 16 does not match Li Ming's current development progress.
"Well..." Li Ming hesitated and asked, "Isn't it level 16?"
Wu Yanqing didn't say anything. He realized that the secret of Li Ming might be bigger than he imagined.
The calculation of development potential is getting higher and higher. If we divide it by time according to his development progress and work backwards, the result will never be lower than level 25, or even higher.
This even made his scalp tingle.
To avoid triggering the boy's defense mechanism, Wu Yanqing didn't delve further and instead asked, "Does anyone else know about your development progress?"
"No, I was measuring secretly, and no one had the chance to collect my blood." Li Ming explained.
Wu Yanqing was extremely cautious. "We can't delay any longer. You must not go to the Itlan civilization. You must leave as soon as possible."
Li Ming was silent. There were too many things about him that he couldn't explain. However, he still asked, "What about the gene seed?"
"It's just a C-grade gene seed. There are ways to obtain it, but if Asmara discovers your secret, you'll be in big trouble." Wu Yanqing said in a deep voice, "You must leave Jingnan and go to the City of Stars with Yaluo. The Yitlan civilization can't reach there."
Wu Yanqing had the same idea as him, and was even more decisive than him, not even wanting the gene seeds.
"The gene seed is in that Isius. Do you want it?" Li Ming wiped his neck. Wu Yanqing's cheek twitched and he glared at him.
"You're crazy. You need to leave temporarily, but not while being wanted!"
"You're going to kill Isius just because of a C-rank gene seed? There's no need for that."
He kills people at every turn, and I don’t know who he learned this from.
Wu Yanqing frowned and continued, "There are gene seed mixers in the City of Stars. As long as you provide money and materials, they can also mix it."
"Gene seed mixer?" Li Ming's heart moved slightly, "Can I also make gene seeds by hand?"
"Of course, as long as you have a laboratory, know the material ratios, and are proficient in related technologies, you can naturally do it." Wu Yanqing explained casually, frowning, as if he was thinking about other things.
There is a high probability that there are professions there, and maybe I can get started myself, Li Ming thought.
Wu Yanqing said, "However, Asmara is still here. We can't leave rashly, otherwise she will definitely notice something is wrong. Let me think about it."
"Everything is up to your arrangement." Li Ming nodded. He trusted Wu Yanqing more.
Old Wu could vaguely guess that he had a big secret, but he never explored it.
Li Ming wanted to ask about the ruins of civilization, but was interrupted. Ford had already returned from meeting Asmara, sweating profusely.
"Why are you so nervous? She might kill you on the spot?" Li Ming couldn't help but tease when he saw this.
"The entire Wing Shadow Fleet is hers. Even if she kills them on the spot and puts the blame on Torch, who can find out?" Ford said angrily, "You don't understand the kind of oppression."
Li Ming did not have the chance to experience that kind of oppression. Princess Asmara had no intention of meeting him, so she asked them to leave.
"She just let us go like that? Doesn't she want to see you?" Ford was quite surprised along the way. After he met up with Doral and others, left the main ship, and boarded the small spaceship, he asked in surprise.
"If you don't want to see it, then don't see it. It's just right. It saves me from being oppressed." Li Ming didn't care.
Ford was speechless, confused. "When you saw me, you just asked casually. It seems there is no need to see me..."
Li Ming said lazily: "What would you think if she saw me but not you?"
"Fortunately..." Ford thought for a moment and said.
Li Ming: “…”
Fortunately, Ford wasn't a fool and immediately realized, "I'm deliberately ignoring you. Combined with Isius's previous neglect, I'm leaving you hanging."
"What did Professor Wu say to you? Did he ask you to stay away from me?"
Li Ming said in a flat voice, "The teacher told me to kill you. This is the best way to show my loyalty."
Ford was startled and smiled awkwardly, "Stop joking."
Although he said this, he still moved forward.
Old Wu did not return with them and remained on the main ship.
When they returned to Wu Yanqing's laboratory, Chen Jinglong and others were already waiting for them.
The condition of several people is not good. They have injuries all over their bodies, and missing arms and legs is the norm. They are currently receiving medical treatment.
I was relieved to see them come back safely.
"Thank you, Mr. Castellon, for your help. Prince Baijan will always remember it." Sanger said to Castellon beside him with a serious expression.
Castellon waved his hand, unfazed. "As it should be, the Torch is a terrorist organization, and everyone has the right to kill them."
Castellon didn't stay for too long. After all, he was not a full participant, and there was some information that could not be told to him.
Before leaving, he winked at Li Ming, leaving him speechless.
Everyone exchanged information, and Sanger looked particularly dissatisfied. "Princess Asmara has gone too far this time. She should have informed us of this action in advance and sent people to secretly protect her. How could she let His Highness Ford take such a big risk?"
"The prince will definitely ask her to give an explanation."
Chen Jinglong seemed to recall something and said slowly, "She dealt a heavy blow to the Torch Organization this time, and no important figures were killed or injured. This is a great achievement. What do you want her to explain?"
Sang Ge choked and snorted coldly. Chen Jinglong looked up and looked across the ceiling in the direction of the main ship. He sighed.
"In any case, we've dealt a blow to the Torch's arrogance. The losses this time are enormous, and they should be out of the picture for a while." Ren Cangsong said solemnly, "Everyone has worked hard. Go back and rest first."
The experimental island did not suffer any major damage. Members of the Torch Organization attacked it several times, but without powerful life forms as the main force, they all returned empty-handed.
…
In the Wing Star main ship, Isius was giving a report, with a large number of virtual screens and data surrounding him.
"Your Highness, the general information has been compiled. Li Ming demonstrated extraordinary combat capabilities during this attack. As a D-class lifeform, he was able to severely injure a C-class lifeform head-on." Isius stated clearly:
"Furthermore, during the battle, he used a mecha that had never appeared in the records before, and even defeated a small patrol ship. According to Doral and others, even Master Mechanic Castellon was quite surprised by the mecha."
"At the same time, it is speculated that Li Ming may have been taught by a master of mechanics."
"However, there are currently no direct combat footage of that armor. The Torch patrol ship may have captured it, but the wreckage is still being searched."
Finally, he added, "Most of this information comes from Doral and Titan. There may be some exaggeration, but Li Ming is definitely not a simple person."
Asmara's delicate face remained calm, her rosy lips parted slightly, and her voice was cold and silent: "If he were simple, Wu Yanqing wouldn't have taken a fancy to him."
"I haven't seen him yet, what's his reaction?"
Isius hesitated slightly. "There was no special reaction. When he left the main ship, he was still talking and laughing with Ford."
Asmara's emotions remained unchanged upon hearing this, and she said calmly, "You have a good attitude. You can try to contact him."
"I understand." Isius nodded first, then tried to ask: "What attitude should I adopt?"
"It's your decision." Asmara waved her arm gently, Isius nodded, and stepped out.
After closing the door and straightening his collar, Isius met Duke Bai Ye in another room.
"Your Highness Isius." Duke Bai Ye's attitude was quite respectful, even though the other party was only a C-level life form.
"Your Excellency the Duke," Isius said warmly, "There's no need to be so polite. I'm a young man in front of you."
"I still have a lot to learn from you."
Bai Ye felt quite relieved after hearing Isius's compliment. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Isius got down to business. "Your Excellency the Duke, do you have any secret information to tell me?"
"Yes, it's about Li Ming." Duke Bai Ye whispered.
"Oh." Isius sat up straight. "Please tell me in detail."
"There's something fishy about this guy. There are many illogical things about him." Duke Bai Ye's eyes flickered. "First of all, his personality. I have detailed information here. A young man who had been submissive for more than a decade suddenly changed drastically shortly after his father's death."
"The death of a loved one is indeed an excuse, but a change in character should be gradual, not sudden."
"Well..." Isius hesitated, then chuckled and shook his head. "I do know a little about this matter. Li Ming's father was once part of an assassination organization called Xiaolong on Blue Star."
"This assassination organization wiped out Fu Zongchen's entire family. After Fu Zongchen gained power, he specifically hunted down this assassination organization. In other words, Li Ming's personality is most likely just a disguise, not his true character."
Duke Bai Ye paused for a moment. He really didn't know about this, but then he continued, "His personality is just a small matter. What's even more bizarre is that all those who are his enemies are either dead, missing, or stepping down. None of them have a good ending."
"From the very beginning, the local gang that threatened him, to Fu Zongchen, the death of every force or person seemed to have a reasonable reason, but this is the biggest irrationality. I absolutely do not believe this is a coincidence."
Isius frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "Your Excellency the Duke, let's talk about something with actual evidence."
"A batch of Flame Blue Alloy has disappeared," Duke Bai Ye said solemnly. "Li Ming applied for a small laboratory at the Polytechnic University and was approved for 40 million in material expenses. He purchased 40 million in Flame Blue Alloy."
"But after the Caroline attack, when the Blue Star people went to the island to count the losses, they found that the warehouse was empty. The materials were missing."
"Li Ming's statement is that the torch took away part of it, and he also consumed part of it. This is also corroborated by Ford."
"But we still haven't found any trace of the Torch Organization member who escaped." Duke Bai Ye said firmly: "There must be something wrong here!"
"Oh..." Isius thought. This was information he didn't know, but then he said, "But I have inside information that can confirm that Li Ming is not a person with special abilities, and I have ruled out the possibility of spatial abilities."
"It's not a spatial ability, perhaps it's some kind of subspace folding equipment." Duke Bai Ye whispered.
Isius subconsciously touched his ring, then shook his head unhappily, "Duke Bai Ye, everything you said is just speculation, association, and suspicion."
"Even if he has some kind of warp-folding equipment, it's his own business. Why are you telling me?"
"Forget it, I have something else to do. Your Excellency the Duke, please leave first."
Bai Ye's face was slightly anxious. "I mean, he might be a spark, or something. He must be something special and have secrets. Aren't you curious?"
"Sir Li Ming just escaped death from the torchbearers. Are you framing him?" Isius seemed angry and drove Bai Ye out.
After leaving the main ship, the anxiety and urgency on Duke Bai Ye's face disappeared, and he snorted coldly.
In front of the porthole, Isius quietly looked down. Through the clouds, Wu Yanqing's experimental island was looming.
…
Li Ming looked at the [Mechanic's Certificate] in his hand. He had no chance to study it before when he was on the run, but now he can study it.
As the [Mechanic's Certificate] disappeared, his profession [Mechanical Research Scholar] began to tremble, and then it was coated with a layer of golden light. The font began to change and finally froze.
【Great Mechanical Constructor】.
A large amount of relevant knowledge followed, and it took Li Ming more than ten minutes to completely digest it.
Li Ming examined it carefully and his expression became increasingly surprised.
[Grand Mechanical Constructor: An integrator of mechanical science, focusing on individual mechanical creations, possessing the abilities of [Mechanical Construction] and [Mechanical Guard].]
[Mechanical Construction: Metal energy can be used to transform, repair, strengthen, and mechanically construct the control.]
[Mechanical Guard: You can construct two mechanical guards whose life level does not exceed that of the main body, and they have the [Guard] feature.]
It is a completely advanced and enhanced version of [Mechanical Research Scholar].
The so-called mechanical construction is to turn it into an individual robot with a separate combat suit.
He can now build small robots, no, it should be said that he can build a mechanical army!
This made him feel a little excited. In the interstellar age, before individual strength reaches a certain level, group combat is still a very important method.
If he could really build a mechanical army, tsk tsk...
It's dissipating again. Li Ming shook his head. There is no doubt that this is another big consumer of metal energy.
The mechanical army was out of reach, so what he cared about was this [Mechanical Guard] and its [Guard] characteristics.
[Guardian: Share 50% of the subject's current stats and can be armed as a guard.]
The mechanical guard can share the bonus of his controlled objects, and can also be put into the control column and taken out to attack people at any time, which can be regarded as an auxiliary combat method.
As for what this guard armed force is, we can only try it after it is built.
