Chapter 199 [Gun Master], the small dark room is about to be closed
I walked around the small dark room and chatted with Rob for a while, which took most of the day, and his room was almost cleaned up.
The place where Huo Tan brought him was quite large and had everything one needed, including surveillance equipment.
【Intelligent Assistance】Scan.
Huo - It's in every corner, all-round, with no blind spots.
Li Ming didn't care. After sending Huo Tan away, he put his hands into his arms, immediately took control of the [Guns and Cannons Badge], and then consumed it.
On the control page, the profession [Gunsmith] trembled, and a layer of flame-like light emerged. The words within it flickered, and finally froze into [Gun Master].
[Gun Master: A master of gunpowder and energy weapons, possessing the abilities [Heart of the Gun] and [Strategic Support].
[Gun Heart: Can synchronize its own blessing to the bullet and control its trajectory.]
[Strategic Support: Special control objects can be placed in advance to provide support at critical moments without occupying the main control column.]
[Heart of the Gun] is a comprehensive and enhanced version of the original ability. The once-a-day limit of [Bullet Sacrifice] is directly removed, and ammunition can be used directly. However, this thing consumes a lot of physical strength.
However, this [Strategic Support] surprised him and instantly reminded him of the ship-level main gun.
So this is how it is used. I can use the [Strategic Support] ability to charge the main gun in advance and then attack the target without occupying the main control bar.
Li Ming pondered, and various images instantly appeared in his mind. Career advancement would always bring quite unique abilities.
This [Strategic Support] is also very good. Originally, he had no idea about the main gun because it looked too bulky and not unusual, but now it is completely different.
The power should be quite strong. If there are eight or nine gates firing at the same time, even an A-level life form would not be able to withstand it.
Tsk... Although the professional abilities seem varied, they are essentially related to the controlled objects, and the power of the controlled objects is related to his own strength. Everything is closely related.
There were about two million metal energies left, and elemental energy burst out from Li Ming's body. He continued to develop gene seeds, and multiple evolutionary theories worked together. The outside world could not see it, so it didn't matter if he was monitored.
But he couldn't help but think of Theo. This A-level life form definitely didn't attack him because of the Casablanca Flower.
The search for Serrad has not stopped, but has become more urgent, and bloody conflicts have occurred frequently in the Land of the Stars.
I heard from Hotan before that Theo even suspected that Serad had escaped to the territories of the other two A-level life forms, or had left the Land of Stars.
He and Theo have no connection. If he really wanted to take action, there was no need to wait until now. Something must have happened that caused this A-level life form to have ideas about him.
Itralan civilization? No, judging by Ford's performance, they obviously had no contact with Theo.
Judge? That's even more wrong. Kai is the target. He's no longer by my side, so there's no point in attacking me.
Torch? Li Ming frowned slightly. They really need me, and the many master mechanics invited must be protected by at least A-level life forms before they dare to touch the torch.
Jesseia himself is an A-level mechanical modified body. Their headquarters are all advanced life forms. The leader cannot act rashly and can only seek external means.
They made a deal with Theo?
Li Ming thought about it and found that from the information he had at hand, only the Torch Organization had this possibility.
He tended to believe that his guess was correct. Although he created an appearance of being mysterious, he knew that he had never offended anyone.
If it was a torch, then Theo would not have harmed his own life.
Li Ming relaxed a lot. At present, none of the forces that had designs on him wanted to kill him. This was also the main reason why he was not so anxious.
If an A-level life form really appeared and was determined to kill him, he would run away without saying a word.
"This master mechanic's identity is really useful." Li Ming sighed secretly, but he was a little uncertain: "And I'm right under Ulrich's nose now. I wonder if Theo will take action..."
…
Two days later, Saber landed on the floating island, carefully holding the metal box in his arms.
However, this time, no familiar guards came to stop him. He looked around on the floating island, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in his heart. He walked quickly towards the center, his expression anxious, and kept muttering: "No, please don't..."
However, things still went in the direction he least wanted to see.
The door of the studio was open, and it was empty inside. Apart from the wreckage on both sides and the mechanical bodies in standby mode, there was no sign of any living creature.
Saber staggered back, looking dazed. Lord Qinglong had left?
No, he wouldn't leave without saying goodbye. It must be intentional. He turned around and looked at the huge "Collector's Cabinet" with his teeth clenched.
Buzz—the metal door opened. Monroe couldn't help but say, "It seems to be a little faster today. It's less than half a day."
Saber smiled bitterly, "Lord Star King, His Excellency Qinglong has been taken to the castle by the Collector."
"What?" Monroe asked in a hurried tone, surprised. "Why was he taken away so suddenly?"
Saber shook his head and said helplessly, "I don't know either. I'm just sure he was taken away by the Collector. I don't know what happened to him, and I don't dare go to the castle to look for him."
He lamented in his heart, the hope of Lord Star King's recovery was just around the corner, but... but...
Helplessness and bitterness turned into the flames of hatred, "Ulrich, he... is too much."
"This is troublesome..." Monroe's tone became more serious. "Ulrich must have asked him to repair that thing. Once it is repaired, there is no way he will be allowed to survive."
"I have to save him."
On the electronic screen, various data soared.
"No... No, in your current state, it's difficult for you to move, let alone save people." Saber hurriedly dissuaded.
Monroe was extremely anxious. This was his hope of rebirth from the ashes. How could he not be anxious?
Suddenly, he continued, "Well, in the Land of Stars, spread the news that the [Matter Recombination Device] is in Ulrich's possession."
"If everyone knows about it, he might have a chance to survive."
Saber didn't know what that thing was, but he knew it must be something extremely important. He was a little hesitant because Lord Monroe was very irrational now.
At this moment, a shrill warning sound came from the screen on one side. The lobby on the first floor was very noisy. A scarred interstellar predator, looking panicked, shouted that he was looking for him.
The staff in the store couldn't stop them at all and were about to break in.
Saber became increasingly anxious, but he still soothed her, "Lord Star King, please wait a moment. I'll go down and take care of it."
After leaving the house, Saber hurried downstairs, his heart filled with resentment and anger. He yelled, "Who the hell dares to cause trouble here? Are you tired of living?!"
The hall was in a state of silence. Only the scarred plunderer had an anxious expression, mixed with fear and panic. "Quick, find a secret place. I have something urgent to do!"
Saber's face was grim. "Urgent, how urgent? The man under your mother's bed beat your father severely, and now he's waiting for me to rescue him?"
Even at this moment, the scarred man was still stunned, his face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll say it again, I have an urgent matter, it's about... upstairs!"
Saber's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously felt murderous intent, but then he suddenly remembered something and dragged him into the small operating room.
Before he could speak, she said in a deep voice, "There is no surveillance equipment here. What do you know?"
The scarred man said hurriedly, "Someone sent me a message to tell you to rest assured that he will be fine. Don't make any sudden movements, just wait."
Saber's heart trembled, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. His hanging heart finally let go a little, and then he said apologetically: "Sorry, I was too anxious just now, so what I said was too..."
Bang!
Before he could finish his words, he froze in place, only to see the scarred man's head suddenly explode like a watermelon, with red and white objects splattering all over his face.
thump!
The body fell, but Saber still didn't react. He looked around in horror, and only moved with difficulty after a long time.
He called a few apprentices in and carried the headless corpse out. The many interstellar plunderers who were waiting to watch the fun looked at each other in bewilderment.
Saber struggled to hold on, climbed up to the second floor, and entered the room. He breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but say, "Lord Star King, His Excellency Qinglong..."
"He's fine," Monroe interrupted, seeming to calm down.
"How do you know?" Saber was stunned.
Monroe's voice became much calmer. "From your expression, I can guess that the plunderer must have been sent by him."
"Yes... He said everything was fine and told us to be at ease and not to act rashly," Saber explained. He couldn't help but say, "It's just that the plunderer died in a very strange way. His head exploded. I checked, and there were no bomb fragments or anything else inside."
"Furthermore, how did Lord Qinglong guarantee that he would be willing to deliver the message honestly..."
"Dead? No reason found?" Monroe was silent, then said slowly, "He seems to be more powerful than I thought. Ulrich, you've let the wolf into the house."
In Ulrich's castle, by the window of a room somewhere, Li Ming put down his wine glass and smiled slightly.
The upgraded [Telepathy] is enough to cover Saber's shop. Just find a few low-level plunderers to intimidate them and show the power of the explosion, and they will be obedient.
If he sent a message directly to Saber, he might think of something, so Li Ming was more used to keeping it secret.
A few hours later, Huotan took him to see Ulrich, who got straight to the point, "The laboratory for the restoration is almost complete. Come with me to take a look."
Li Ming also became interested. "I had the same idea."
Ulrich led the way, and Li Ming asked, "Where is the laboratory? On the fifth floor?"
"Ha..." Ulrich shook his head, "That place is not worthy of your status."
What you said... Li Ming shook his head secretly and followed Ulrich, his eyes gradually becoming surprised.
Because he remembered this road, it was clearly the road to the underground vault.
Could it be in the underground vault? Li Ming was getting more and more excited. What was the difference between this and throwing a rat into a rice mill?
Don’t even mention surveillance. Even if you have surveillance cameras installed in all directions, I still have a way to deal with it.
Unfortunately, Ulrich was not yet that crazy, and the hidden elevator did not fall to the deepest point, but stopped on the upper floor of the underground vault.
The elevator door opened, revealing a metal corridor with a sleek black door at the end.
It really was modified from the safe... Rob guessed right.
Ulrich introduced: "Cold Nuclear Black Gold, a special alloy that can only be created through high-energy nuclear reactions, is powerful enough to withstand attacks from A-level life forms."
"The entire vault is made of this alloy."
Li Ming exclaimed: "What a generous move, what a generous move."
This amount of metal energy is just here, waiting for me to absorb it.
Ulrich smiled. After going through layers of verification and opening the door, a not very spacious room appeared before him. In the middle was a metal table filled with various instruments.
"Over-the-horizon optical cutter." Ulrich pointed to an instrument on the table. "Its precision reaches the nanometer level..."
In the center is a silver-white workbench with a circular base, with dozens of multifunctional mechanical manufacturing arms extending from both sides.
“…”
The instruments in this room are all extremely precious. Not only are they made of extremely high-end technology, but the materials used are also very good.
And what was placed on the silver-white workbench was the [Material Reorganization Maker].
Buzz--
Ulrich opened the anti-gravity storage cabinet on one side. The black restraints pulled at pieces of white alloy material, only a few in total.
"Korvana Alloy - the glory that never breaks, extremely precious, and only a handful of civilizations have the technology to synthesize it." Ulrich's eyes flashed with pain, and obviously, the price should be very high.
"There's still a batch of secondary materials on the way, so it might take a while."
Li Ming stroked the smooth alloy table. Ulrich's preparations were really comprehensive.
"When can you start working?" Ulrich restrained his expression and asked.
"Any time is fine." Li Ming said immediately.
Ulrich nodded and said solemnly, "I have one request. Once you start working, you are not allowed to leave here. I will send someone to deliver everything you need."
Li Ming pondered for a moment. The current situation was pretty much what he had expected.
But the backup plan has been prepared. Rob and the others have been preparing for a long time, so there shouldn't be any problems. I just need to wait and take advantage of the situation.
He wasn't really repairing anything for Ulrich, and he glanced at Ulrich, whose face was gloomy. It was obvious that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.
Random access would lead to accidents, which Ulrich could not tolerate.
"No problem." He nodded without making things difficult. By now, there were some things that the two of them already understood tacitly.
Ulrich had a blank expression on his face. Qinglong was definitely not as simple as he looked, especially since he had taken the initiative to move to the castle. Perhaps he was really after the [Matter Reorganization Maker].
The other party is not stupid. How could they not think of the situation they might face after the repair? But they never mentioned it, and until now, they still haven't put forward any conditions.
When the [Matter Reorganization Device] is repaired, perhaps that will be the time when his true intentions will be revealed, but this is his home ground after all, and he will prepare everything.
