Chapter 191: Another Test to See if You Can Be Honest
Even in the liberated form, the base strength is increased through stimulation.
As his life level improves, his strength will naturally continue to increase. Li Ming is not too anxious about this.
It’s just that the development progress depends on the development potential, and he realized this a long time ago.
His own development potential is too low, he is just an ordinary person.
Although the development progress has been increased by more than forty times, it is already fast enough, but people are always greedy, and he is no exception.
If we can improve the fundamental development potential and then amplify it through development speed, it will be terrifying.
If he had the development potential of Ford or Isius, he would probably be a B-level life form by now.
However, people like them are constantly fine-tuning their genes in the womb. This is an innate advantage that cannot be compensated for.
Thinking about it, Li Ming's eyes gradually became hot, but he suppressed his thoughts. It would be best to determine the effect of something injected into the body.
He opened the black hole network and was about to search, but his expression changed slightly, his palm flipped, and the potion disappeared without a trace.
Soon, there was a knock on the door and Saber came. This time he brought the Star King's left hand and the same ten pieces of metal materials.
"What's wrong with your face?" Li Ming looked at the scars on Saber's face, which were blue and purple.
"I had an accident while flying the spaceship and nearly got myself killed. Luckily, I was lucky," Saber explained, then became quite worried. "I've noticed things aren't going peacefully in the Star Land lately. How come a bunch of golden-eyed people died?"
"Who knows." Li Ming shrugged.
Saber sighed, "I hope nothing serious will happen, and that Lord Star King will be repaired safely."
Li Ming's heart moved slightly. He put the materials aside and asked, "How could His Excellency Star King fall to this state? His strength is not something that ordinary people can deal with."
He has always been curious about this matter and was reluctant to spend money to buy it on Black Hole Online.
"Alas..." Saber sighed, hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the Xingyuan Empire..."
Li Ming's eyes flickered. He was not surprised. The Xingyuan Empire ruled over the boundless interstellar space and was extremely powerful.
Saber observed Li Ming's expression and found that there was no fear or hesitation towards the Xingyuan Empire, or resistance to continuing to repair Lord Star King.
He couldn't help but nod secretly. Lord Star King was right. The troubles of this great mechanic might be even bigger than his. It was impossible for him to be afraid of such a small matter.
Li Ming came back to his senses and continued to ask: "Do you know the specific reason?"
"Because of some things, Lord Star King offended the Xingyuan Empire and was tortured like this." Saber was helpless and did not show any hatred when describing the Xingyuan Empire.
Because that is a meaningless act. Even if the Star King recovers to his peak, he will not be able to fight against the Star Abyss Empire.
"Hmm..." Li Ming pondered, "Then his modified body is not something that ordinary civilization can support, right?"
A mechanically modified body of the Star King's level cannot be a lone wolf and must come from a powerful civilization.
Saber shook his head. "I've followed Lord Star King for less than a hundred years. I only know that when he arrived here, he was already an A-level life form."
Li Ming smiled and nodded. Saber left tactfully, closed the heavy metal door, and waited for the repair to be completed.
This time, time passed much faster than the previous times. Just two days later, the metal door opened a crack. Saber turned around in confusion, only to see Li Ming with a serious expression: "Come in, Ulrich is here."
Saber's heart skipped a beat and he rushed into the room, panicking, "He...found out?"
Ulrich didn't come here often. The few times Saber came here before, he was terrified, afraid that he would find him and all his efforts would be wasted.
"Ulrich was once the Star King's assistant. He's incredibly cunning and cautious," he said anxiously. "He would have recognized this robotic arm instantly."
"Just tell me I brought it here for you to repair, and you don't recognize it." Saber gritted his teeth. "Lord Star King is upstairs from my shop. Ulrich will definitely torture me. I'll lead him to another place. Please take this opportunity to move Lord Star King."
Li Ming was speechless and shook his head, "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."
Saber was anxious, but was also infected by Li Ming's calm mood and calmed down.
"Let's practice the words..."
Boom! Boom!
There was a knock on the door, and an anxious and impatient voice came from inside the room. Then a crack opened, and thick smoke overflowed. A shriveled head poked out, squinting its eyes, and then shouted in horror: "Master Collector!"
"Saber..." The Collector looked calm, obviously having known that the other party was here.
Saber looked very embarrassed. "I...I, I didn't know it was you..."
"It's okay." The collector waved his hand. Saber suddenly realized and quickly pushed the door open.
The thick smoke made the Collector frown. With a wave of his hand, an invisible force forced the billowing black smoke out, clearing the room.
"What are you doing here?" Ulrich asked.
"Mr. Collector." Li Ming in the room spoke in surprise, then picked up the metal box beside him and threw it to Saber: "Your things are ready, let's go quickly."
"Okay, okay..." Saber nodded repeatedly and was about to leave.
"Wait..." Ulrich suddenly spoke, and with a slight pull, the metal box in Saber's arms floated in front of him.
With a snap, the lid was forcibly crushed. Ulrich glanced at it and asked, "A plasma hand cannon?"
"What do you want this for?"
"I want to protect myself too..." Saber whispered.
"Heh..." Ulrich sneered, "You're using it to make a profit, right?"
Saber's face turned pale.
Ulrich waved his hand. "Forget it. We are old friends. Lord Qinglong has his own things to do. Don't bother him casually."
"Yes, yes..." Saber felt as if he had been pardoned. He carefully picked up the metal box on the ground and walked away quickly.
It wasn't until he reached the simple harbor that he looked back and breathed a sigh of relief. "Your Excellency Qinglong is right. He only believes what he guesses himself."
However, the haze in his eyes had not yet dissipated, and Lord Star King's mechanical arm was still left with Lord Qinglong. It must not be discovered.
He prayed in his heart and boarded the aircraft.
In the room, Ulrich shook his head and said to Li Ming: "When I first met him, he was just a..."
He gestured, raising it up and lowering it, "Just a little kid."
Li Ming packed up his tools and couldn't help but laugh: "Ha, the appearance of advanced life forms always makes people forget their age."
Ulrich looked around, but there was nothing to smile about.
With a bang, the door closed and Li Ming turned around, seeming a little confused.
Ulrich's expression was indifferent. "A few days ago, the Torch Organization invited me again, and they also hinted at threats. If I don't take you with me again, they might take action."
"Then, the Inquisitor Civilization issued a notice to me, saying that if Kai and the murderer of the soldiers were not handed over, they would take necessary action."
"Before I came here, the spokesperson for the Itlan Civilization's Joint Fleet contacted me. They only had a photo and a ransom note, saying someone had been kidnapped in the Land of Stars. They were looking for someone named Li Ming."
"They demanded a billion star coins and asked me to help them find out which group of pirates had such audacity."
Li Ming's mouth twitched. No wonder Ulrich looked so ugly.
"For the past few decades, everything has been peaceful here. I've been cautious and rarely made enemies." Ulrich looked melancholy, as if with an unspoken meaning. "And now, two advanced civilizations and a frenzied resistance organization seem poised to attack me."
Li Ming scratched his head with a strange look on his face.
"The Torch Organization wants you, the Grand Mechanic Qinglong, and they also want to know where Li Ming is. The United Fleet is also keeping an eye on Li Ming, and the Judge Civilization is concerned about Kai, who is beside you."
Ulrich's expression changed, and he stared at Li Ming, gritting his teeth. "Sir Qinglong, you are too troublesome."
Li Ming was delighted, but he shook his head helplessly and said, "Mr. Collector, I can't do anything about it. These things are not caused by me."
"Something must have gone wrong with the Torch Organization, and the three great mechanics couldn't solve it, so the Torch Organization thought of me."
Ulrich nodded; he had the same guess.
"As for the Judge Civilization, you can reply to them that Kai has been taken away by the Interstellar Alliance." Li Ming didn't care.
"He was taken away by the Interstellar Alliance? When, why didn't I know?" Ulrich frowned deeply.
"Two days ago." Li Ming said calmly.
"What's the price?" Ulrich asked subconsciously.
"Ah?" Li Ming looked bewildered. "Kai is my friend. How could I possibly sell him out? Before he left, I even gave him a weapon."
Ulrich frowned, feeling very bad. Kai was taken away by the Interstellar Alliance, so how could he explain this to the Inquisitor Civilization?
He stared at Li Ming, but couldn't find a reason to attack him. He blocked the news immediately, which resulted in the Judge Civilization contacting him only two days ago.
"As for the Combined Fleet... they'll arrive sooner or later, so who cares?"
Ulrich almost vomited blood when he saw the other person's casual look.
Of course the other party doesn't have to care because he is the one who bears the pressure.
Moreover, these are just the side troubles of this person, not the real reason why he was exiled here, that would be a big surprise.
"I have another question. Did you kill Serad?" Ulrich asked in a deep voice, staring at Li Ming.
"Serrade?" Li Ming was confused at first. "The name sounds familiar."
Then it suddenly dawned on him: "That Hidden Star Thief? Is he dead?"
"It was the Hidden Star Thief," Ulrich corrected, only to see the other party frown. "What does his death have to do with me? Why do you think I killed him?"
Sandro's speculation is far-fetched and may be a personal revenge.
But Theo finally asked Ulrich to eliminate Li Ming's suspicion.
Ulrich didn't bother to argue and said directly, "I want to search the entire floating island."
Li Ming's expression calmed down and he said indifferently, "Please feel free to do as you please. Those who are innocent have nothing to fear."
In fact, he had discovered that the people brought by Ulrich had already started to act ten minutes ago.
Not long after, there was a sudden noise coming from outside, mixed with roars, shouts and roars.
Ulrich's eyes moved slightly, observing Qinglong's expression, but found that the other party was also looking at him with indifference in his eyes.
He frowned, "What's going on?"
Ulrich walked out, and Li Ming followed closely behind him. What came towards them was a thick, bright blue beam of light.
boom!
Not far away, violent electric arcs exploded and flames gushed out.
There seemed to be a conflict.
In the center of the venue, three figures crisscrossed each other, and violent shock waves burst out from time to time. The purple metal whip was like a poisonous snake, leaving cracks on the ground.
The opponents were Thunder and Tepper, and the plasma beams were continuous, but Cassis was a Class B life form after all, with a nimble body and was obviously at ease.
Yaluo was detained on the side, unable to move. Seeing Li Ming approach, he immediately shouted, "Master Qinglong, help me!"
"Stop." Li Ming shouted. Just as Lei Ting and Tepper were about to stop, Cassis swung her metal whip over, forcing them to fight back, but they could only passively defend.
Li Ming frowned and couldn't help but look at Ulrich. Ulrich's face was also very unhappy. He questioned the guards: "What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to cause any conflict?"
"When searching Lord Crazy Lion, these two mechanical bodies suddenly went crazy and attacked Lady Cassis." The guard soldier hurriedly explained.
"Lady Cassis is really angry, and we can't stop her."
"Cassis, stop!" Ulrich shouted, but Cassis had no intention of stopping.
Li Ming was quite amused: "Cassis seems unwilling to obey your orders."
Doesn't he care? Ulrich frowned, expecting to see tension on the man's face.
The two of them still have to cooperate, so he can't attack Qinglong directly. However, the successive troubles really make him unhappy, and he wants this guy to be quiet, so he attacks Kuangshi beside him and even reveals his identity as a warning.
But the other party doesn't seem to care about this mad lion?
Ulrich seemed a little helpless: "She is my adopted daughter. Sometimes she gets too carried away and doesn't even listen to my orders."
Then he assured, "It's okay. If anything goes wrong, I will compensate for all losses."
Li Ming smiled, "It's okay, kid, it's okay to vent."
Ulrich's eyes flickered slightly, and the soldier holding Yaro received the order. He pressed Yaro's hand hard and shouted, "Behave!"
It was with this force that Yaluo's arm was pulled off with a snap.
The soldier looked at the severed arm in his hand with a dazed look on his face. The wound was filled with wires and metal structures, sparking with electric sparks.
I know, I am guilty. I am a little late every day, which is too much. I am trying hard to adjust myself!
