Chapter 182 Nano Curse [Mechanical Cavalry]
Holding the metal box, Saber gave a few instructions to the apprentice in the store and left.
Arrive at the dock and take a small aircraft that specializes in flying between floating islands to Floating Island No. 113.
"We don't welcome outsiders here...Mr. Sabo?" The soldier who came to intercept him sounded surprised, and his cold expression also faded.
"Little Kulshi..." Saber's tone was very familiar. His medical shop had been open for decades, and he had deliberately contacted people under the collector. He knew them all and had a good relationship with them.
"Why are you here?" Kuerxi gestured to his teammates to put down their guns and said, "Master Collector has ordered that no guests be received here."
"I came to ask Lord Qinglong to make some things. His previous shop was next to mine. I wanted to find him before, but never had the chance." Saber explained.
"This..." Kuerxi hesitated and whispered, "It's not that I don't want to make things convenient for you. Your Excellency Qinglong is highly valued by the collector."
"If he sends someone to pick me up..." Kulsi said halfway, his expression relaxed, "Lord Crazy Lion is here."
"It's you." Yaluo saw Saber and was no stranger to him. "Let's go. Lord Qinglong is willing to see you."
Kulsi also tactfully made way. Saber felt a little strange. Kulsi didn't seem to report it, so how could that guy know he was coming?
With this doubt in mind, Saber stepped onto the floating island. Not long after walking, he saw a team of blue and white mechanical bodies carrying a large amount of metal debris, apparently for smelting.
"Sir Qinglong, can you also create mechanical life forms?" Saber asked with some hope in his heart.
"Well, it's pretty good for doing odd jobs." Yaluo nodded. It was the existence of these mechanical bodies that prevented him from becoming a laborer.
Yaluo chatted casually: "Are you here to customize a weapon or something?"
"It can be considered custom-made." Sabo spoke vaguely. Yaluo saw that he didn't want to communicate, so he simply shut up and took him to Li Ming's studio.
"He's inside, come in." Yaluo knocked on the door and then turned sideways.
Saber nodded and walked into the room. Li Ming seemed to be waiting for him. His eyes first fell on the box in his arms, and then he spoke: "Sit down, we are all acquaintances."
He had a pretty good impression of the old man. He had asked him to prepare medicine before, and nothing went wrong. He even helped him solve a problem.
Therefore, I chose to meet him only after I noticed that he was coming.
"Customized weapons? Are there any blueprints or reference weapons?" Li Ming asked casually.
"It's not a custom weapon. I have something here and I want to see if you can repair it." Saber carefully placed the box in his arms on the table.
"Repairing things again?" Li Ming said "tsk", but didn't care.
This thing seemed very important to Saber. His movements were slow and cautious, and there was even a look of piety on his face.
Only after the box was opened did Li Ming see clearly.
Resting on the black velvet was a small glass chamber filled with blue liquid, encasing a metal robotic arm.
Most of it is covered with green liquid, and the areas not covered are a rusty reddish-brown color, looking quite dilapidated.
No... Li Ming's eyes suddenly became much more serious.
Through [Intelligent Assistance], he could clearly see that the green filth was not liquid, but ultra-small nano-mechanical worms that were difficult to see with the naked eye.
They have ferocious appearances and sharp mouthparts, and seem to be gnawing on the metal robotic arm, but due to the influence of the blue liquid, their movements are extremely slow.
Li Ming's expression gradually became solemn. Even though they were affected by the blue liquid, the performance of these nanomechanical worms was still quite amazing. After gnawing on the metal shell of the mechanical arm, they quickly split themselves.
This thing is not simple, Li Ming even felt a chill.
"Your Excellency Qinglong..." Saber saw that Li Ming had no reaction and thought that he didn't care. "Would you like to pick it up and take a closer look?"
Li Ming frowned and looked Saber up and down, "Will this nanomachine bug eat me?"
He suspected that this was a trap. If he touched those nanomechanical insects, he would be eaten on the spot, so it was better to be cautious.
"Did you see it?" Saber stood up suddenly, quite shocked. These nanomechanical insects were extremely small and almost impossible to see clearly without a special high-power magnifying glass.
The other party was so far away, but he knew that these were nanomechanical insects with just a glance?
The flame of hope in his heart burned even brighter.
It doesn't seem to be a trap. Li Ming looked at Saber's excited expression and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Don't worry, these nanomachine bugs won't eat anything other than this robotic arm," Saber explained hastily, then cautiously asked, "Do you know where these nanomachine bugs came from?"
"I don't know." Li Ming shook his head. Saber was suddenly disappointed, thinking that the other party had had contact before.
But he still cheered himself up and demonstrated it himself, reaching his hand into the blue liquid, touching the nanomechanical insects, and even rubbing them, but there was no reaction. He held the nanomechanical insects and ignored his flesh and blood body.
Li Ming was relieved at this point, and was quite curious about it. He immersed his palm into the blue liquid, which was sticky and cold, and then touched the robotic arm.
[Star King's Mechanical Arm (Left Hand) - Grade A (Corrosion): Belonging to the arm of a powerful mechanical modified body, made of Dust Star Alloy, with multiple weapon modules.
Note: Because it is corroded by the nano curse and cannot be controlled, it can be alleviated or repaired by consuming metal energy.
Star King? Li Ming looked at the description and was surprised. The Star King that Ulrich and Jessiah had discussed?
Li Ming didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't expect that he would come into contact with this person's things so soon. But listening to the discussion between the two people, wasn't this person called Star King dead?
Moreover, it was the first time he had seen such an explanation. The erosion was so severe that it was even impossible to control.
Nano curse?
Li Ming pondered and thought, it seems that this Saab is not simple either. No wonder he can recognize the time gel at a glance.
Li Ming relaxed as soon as he was touched. Saber's expectant expression froze, then became gloomy, and finally even a little desperate.
At least take a closer look. It's so casual, there's probably no way around it.
"This thing is very troublesome to repair." Li Ming pondered.
"I understand..." Saber's face was full of bitterness. He was about to put away the box, but he suddenly looked up and asked in surprise, "What did you say?"
"I said, it's very troublesome to repair." Li Ming repeated.
"Can you fix it?" Saber's face was full of disbelief.
"Yes," Li Ming said as a matter of course, then asked suspiciously, "You don't want me to be able to repair it?"
"No...no..." Sabo's mind was a little confused. Of course he hoped that Li Ming could fix it.
But this is the Nano Curse that has caused Lord Star King to suffer so much, and Lord Jessiah is helpless.
He came to look for Li Ming, naturally with a hint of expectation in his heart.
But when the other party really meets his expectations, he becomes somewhat anxious and worried because the process seems too simple.
If the other party looks hesitant, looks through various materials, hesitates again and again, and finally says reluctantly that it can be repaired, he will believe it more.
But after just a brief touch, he responded nonchalantly, which really made him suspicious.
"Are you... sure that the situation is the same as you judged?" Saber couldn't help but ask.
"This thing may be more difficult than you think." Sabo kept hinting, hoping that Li Ming would take another look.
"Are you going to repair it or not?" Li Ming asked impatiently.
“Repair… Repair…” Even though he had doubts in his heart, he still grabbed this life-saving straw without hesitation.
"Let me tell you in advance, this thing is also very difficult for me to repair, and the price required is totally unaffordable for you. I can simply produce some results, and then you can take it back and let the person who can make the decision have a look." Li Ming emphasized.
It is not difficult to guess that the suspected dead Star King is not dead, but is troubled by the nano curse.
Li Ming already had many ideas in his mind and didn't mind coming into contact with this Star King who was at least an A-level life form.
Saber's heart suddenly jumped. What did this guy see?
Although he was surprised, this actually gave him more hope.
"Come and get it in three days." Li Ming waved his hand.
"This..." Saber hesitated, "I can wait here for three days."
This is Lord Star King's robotic arm. The materials and technologies used are all top-notch and extremely precious.
"It's up to you." Li Ming didn't care.
Saber gritted his teeth again, "Don't let the collector see it."
Li Ming's eyes flickered slightly, "Understood."
Saber was surprised that the other party didn't ask any further questions. He had already thought of an excuse, but it didn't matter.
Then, Saber waited here. Naturally, he could not see the repair process, so he was driven out.
Several mechanical bodies passed by him, pushing a transport cart filled with a large number of strangely shaped shoes.
The place is obviously quite simple. Although there are several extremely advanced instruments, they have not formed a system.
This made Saber feel uneasy again, fearing that it would be all in vain again. In this state of mind of worry and anxiety, three days passed in a flash.
Buzz—the metal door opened, and the hunchbacked old man sitting on the chair suddenly raised his head, with a dazzling light blooming in his cloudy eyes.
Li Ming threw the robotic arm in his hand and said, "Let's take a look."
Saber's face turned panicked and he caught it in a panic. He didn't care about the blame. His whole body began to tremble. His eyes widened and he stared at the mechanical arm in his hand.
The changes to this robotic arm are not obvious compared to before, but it can still be clearly seen that some reddish-brown parts have regained their metallic luster.
What’s more crucial is that the green liquid has disappeared without a trace in several obvious joints.
"You actually did it..." Saber couldn't help but look up and took a few steps forward. "How did you do it? If you can fix it, I'm willing to give everything."
Li Ming smiled, "I've said before that repairing it is very difficult for me, and the price I have to pay is not something you can afford."
Li Ming himself was shocked. Hundreds of thousands of metal energies were invested, but they only managed to curb the expansion of these nanomechanical insects.
Moreover, if these nanomechanical worms are not completely eradicated at once, they will continue to corrode. This is probably some special method specifically targeting mechanically modified bodies.
Saber forced himself to calm down, then suddenly became alert. He looked around carefully and put the metal mechanical arm back into the box.
"I understand. Don't worry, we are willing to pay any price." Saber was so excited that he was incoherent.
"Why should I be at ease?" Li Ming shook his head and watched the old man leave.
"Star King..." Li Ming murmured in his heart. During the past three days, he purchased relevant information about this guy on the Black Hole Network. The basic information alone cost him more than three million.
Star King - Monroe, the creator of the Land of Stars, has a fully mechanically modified body.
It was he who transformed many floating islands, Ulrich, Sandro, Jessia and other A-level life forms with the power of the stars, and a considerable number of them were once his subordinates.
Its strength is suspected to surpass that of ordinary A-level life forms, and it is rampant for a time.
However, forty years ago, he suddenly disappeared, and the Land of Stars was divided. Over time, the current pattern was formed.
As for why it disappeared, it was not mentioned in the basic information he purchased and needed to be purchased separately.
It was worth five million, he bought it, and got only four words - a battle.
This made Li Ming lose his guard on the spot. If he wanted to get more details, he would have to spend more money.
He didn't have any urgent need to know the situation at the time, so he didn't become a leek, but he could also speculate that some powerful civilization must be involved, which is why the price was so high.
After all, the Star King disappeared only forty or fifty years ago, which is not a long time ago, but this name is no longer circulated in the Land of Stars.
The basic intelligence mentioned that most people believed that the Star King had fallen.
And the other party is not only alive, but is actually hiding in the land of stars.
This is really getting more and more interesting... Li Ming thought about it, put the matter aside for the time being, and took out a triangular piece of metal.
It was the [Mechanical Knight Core]. He had been studying this thing before Saber came. He didn't know what kind of upgrade it would bring, so Li Ming was a little looking forward to it.
Of the more than three million metal energies obtained by the Red Star Waterfall, only a few hundred remain now.
As this metal core was controlled by him and then consumed, the [Sword Wing Knight] class trembled and quickly changed -
[Mechanical Cavalry: A mechanical companion and master, possessing [Mechanical Rhythm] and [Iron Cavalry Glory]]
[Mechanical Rhythm: Increases strength by 200%, stamina by 200%, and allows you to attach your abilities to controlled objects.]
[Iron Cavalry Glory: Become one with the mechanical vehicle you control.]
[Mechanical Cavalry], Li Ming's heart was filled with waves, all data blessings were improved, and the attachment of his own abilities was further expanded, and any controlled object could be attached.
What made him most curious was the ability of [Iron Cavalry Glory], was it integrated with the vehicle?
Just by reading the instructions, many guesses emerged in Li Ming's mind, and then he couldn't wait to try it.
The tank guard mecha emerged and wrapped Li Ming's whole body. Then, Li Ming tried to activate [Iron Cavalry Glory].
The next moment, he had a strange feeling. The external vision that he could only see through the armor's mimicry imaging technology suddenly became extremely clear.
He raised his arm, and the mechanical fingers stretched and clenched. He seemed to have turned into a tank armor, and even the slightest operating delay was gone.
At the same time, the reaction speed of the whole person seems to have increased a lot, infrared vision, sound wave imaging, and the vision in front of him keeps changing.
With a slight movement of his mind, the tall and burly guard Tepper, who had been standing by the door, suddenly disintegrated. A large amount of metal mechanical structure was pulled by an invisible force and quickly attached to his left arm.
"It's an amazing feeling..." Li Ming felt his arm sink, as if he had obtained a new toy. The metal structure kept flipping over to form a thick metal shield.
Immediately, Guard Thunder also walked in. After closing the door, sparks shot out of his pupils and quickly disintegrated. A large amount of metal structure quickly covered his right arm.

In just a few seconds, it can be assembled into various long-range weapons such as small energy-focusing cannons and continuous electromagnetic cannons.
And this doesn’t end there.
