Chapter 330: The Trader is More Frustrating Than the Other
Whenever Robin thought about this, he felt sad and angry.
He did not come from a good background, coming from a low-level civilization. When he was very young, by chance, he got the purple-gold skull in his hand and called himself a butler.
The other party claimed that he was chosen as the successor of a certain civilization.
At the beginning, he was very excited, but the butler claimed that in order to obtain this secret treasure, he would have to go through many tests and complete them step by step.
Over the past few decades, the other party has been making promises to him from time to time, and he is tired of hearing them.
It's not that the other party hasn't provided any benefits. All the expenses for purchasing genetic seeds are basically provided by the housekeeper. They are special funds and cannot be used for other purposes.
This is also an important support point for Robin to continue to believe.
Faced with Robin's slightly sad and angry words, the butler did not respond with his mental power.
Suzaku's bright eyes stared at him. Robin had already calmed down. Compared with many other people, he was already lucky enough. If he compared himself with others, he would be too lucky.
Robin tried to get more information from Suzaku, but all the answers Suzaku gave were information that could be inquired about and were of little value.
After chatting for a while, the door of the living room opened. Robin subconsciously looked up and saw Li Ming walked in with a smile on his face. He was wearing a white lab coat and looked ordinary.
But Robin's eyes changed slightly. He felt a sense of threat from the other party. It was the fear of a life form at the bottom of the food chain encountering a life form at a higher level.
His B-grade gene seed is called [Shadow Lizard]. It is almost intuitive and his body reacts naturally, not controlled by his emotions.
A-level life form!
Robin was secretly shocked and couldn't help but take a breath. His B-level gene seed had been developed to 100%, and only A-level life forms could make him feel threatened in this way.
"How is it possible..." Robin said subconsciously. When he left Twin Peaks, he paid special attention to the relevant information about Li Ming.
I was quite surprised when I learned that the other party was a B-level life form in his twenties.
But now, the other party has become an A-level life form.
Is the development potential of level 46 really that terrifying?
Robin's throat moved, and he felt even more envious. He had amazing potential for development, and he also had a teacher who was a star-level mechanic. He was definitely a super winner.
I am like a nuclear-powered donkey running forward with a carrot hanging in front of me. I can only see it but cannot touch it.
My heart feels more and more sour.
"Mr. Phantom Thief?" Li Ming seemed to be asking, but in fact he was greeting him.
"Oh oh..." Robin finally reacted and stood up hurriedly, "Sir Shadow..."
"My name is Li Ming..." Li Ming smiled and casually walked to the bar in the lounge: "What would you like to drink?"
"Whatever..." Robin hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is Robin..."
"Robin?" Li Ming poured a glass of water and motioned Robin to sit down. The two sat on the sofa. Robin took the glass of water and shook it in front of his mouth in a pretentious manner.
But with Li Ming's observation skills, he could naturally find that the other party didn't drink at all.
He didn't expose her, and greeted her with: "Your Excellency, you have come a long way, thank you for your hard work."
"I just finished some things a while ago, so I'm taking a break recently. It's not hard." Robin shook his head and got to the point. He took out an exquisite little box from his bag and placed it in front of Li Ming.
"This is what your Excellency wants."
Li Ming raised his eyebrows, picked it up from the table and opened it. There was an irregular black stone on it. He held it in his hand and tried to absorb energy. It was indeed the Stone of Terrax.
Putting the stone back for the moment, Li Ming nodded with satisfaction, "You are a straightforward person."
Before Robin could say anything, the door of the room was opened again, and a silver-white humanoid mechanical figure walked in, holding a metal box in each hand.
Robin couldn't help but look over. The humanoid robot placed the box on the table, opened it, and pushed it in front of Robin.
Robin's breathing stagnated. In the box were two sturdy arm armors. The metal plates on the surface were as delicate as scales, and the fists were ferocious and brutal.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The metal shell was cold and heavy, which made his heart palpitate.
He couldn't help but pick it up and put his hands in. The scales opened automatically and then tightly wrapped around his arms. As the engine vibrated, the scales opened and closed continuously, and there was a "clicking" sound between his knuckles.
He breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed the excitement in his heart. Up to now, he had never come into contact with A-level weapons.
This weapon is absolutely powerful.
That's why he needed to inspect the goods. After hesitating for a moment, he patted the skull next to his butt and said, "Butler, take a look..."
Then he said to Li Ming with a hint of apology, "I have never come into contact with weapons of this level, so I need to inspect the goods."
"It's okay, it's normal." Li Ming didn't care. This was the [Fist of the Violent Tiger] from Brot, and it was no longer of much use to him.
Li Ming glanced at the purple-gold skull but didn't care. The artificial intelligence he carried with him had certain programs written into it in advance, which could provide a lot of convenience, and many people would carry it with them.
Robin held the skull in his hands, a light screen shot out from his green eye sockets, sweeping across the arm armor, and said, "No problem, whether it's the material strength or the engine power source, it's an A-level weapon."
Li Ming's eyes moved slightly, and then his gaze fell on the skull. Could it be scanned so quickly?
Robin took a deep breath, closed the box, and looked at Li Ming's nonchalant expression. His originally excited mood suddenly turned into a feeling of sadness.
A-level weapons can be taken out at any time. This is the confidence that comes from having a big boss as a backer.
Li Ming kept smiling the whole time. When he saw the other party close the box, he asked, "Can you tell me where you got this stone? I am willing to pay you a reward."
Robin pondered and shook his head, "Actually, I don't know much, so there's no need for reward."
"Oh." Li Ming was surprised. "Thank you very much."
It's definitely right to make friends with this kind of person. Robin is not a fool. His information is not worth much anyway, so it's better to make some friends with him.
Robin gathered his thoughts and said, "Not long ago, while completing a mission, I learned that the Holy Silver Civilization had opened a secret castle in the dimensional world and unearthed the remains of an ancient civilization."
"I'm quite interested in this, but out of caution, I found a group of Twisted Blazing Sun guys to help me explore the way."
Li Ming was not very clear about the Holy Silver Civilization, but he had heard of the Twisted Blazing Sun, which was defined as a terrorist organization by the Interstellar Alliance, like a cult, with many followers.
"Those guys from the Twisted Blazing Sun stole this stone from the secret fortress of the Holy Silver Civilization..." Robin said halfway and shook his head.
"No, I almost forgot. Those guys said that the secret fortress of the Holy Silver Civilization has been occupied by the Xingyuan Empire."
"Xingyuan Empire?" Li Ming was surprised. He didn't expect that the Terrax Stone was actually obtained from the dimensional world.
And it is involved with the Xingyuan Empire.
Li Ming thought that the dimensional world was mysterious and dangerous to organizations like the Torch, but for powerful civilizations, it was a treasure land containing all kinds of magical substances and phenomena.
Almost every powerful civilization will conduct in-depth exploration of the dimensional world to catalyze special technologies and techniques.
The outpost opened up with special technology is called a secret fortress, which is connected to the real universe.
"Can you tell me the coordinates of that dimension?" Li Ming asked again.
Robin didn't hesitate and nodded immediately: "No problem, I'll send it to you later."
"Sir, do you want to go explore?" he asked immediately.
Li Ming sensed the desire in his words and asked, "You want to go too?"
"Hmm..." Robin hesitated and subconsciously glanced at the skull in his hand.
The butler spoke so seriously and conspicuously that it was impossible for him not to be curious.
If he were alone, he would definitely not be willing to go, but Li Mingke has a star-casting mechanic as his teacher, so it would be much safer if he followed him.
"if you can."
Li Ming grinned, "Of course, you provided the coordinates."
This guy named Robin seems to be very extraordinary and has good luck. He somehow obtained a piece of Terrax Stone.
Although Li Ming is not very fond of luck, he also believes in it to some extent.
Robin's expression softened slightly, and he added, "However, you may need to wait for a while."
"Why?" Li Ming was a little puzzled.
"I feel that this exploration is definitely not safe. I want to wait until I fuse the A-level gene seed and become an A-level life form before going together." Robin explained.
"Becoming an A-level life form?" Li Ming was even more surprised. He looked Robin up and down and said, "I have a question. How old are you..."
"Uh..." Robin hesitated and said vaguely, "Forty or fifty..."
"Forty or fifty?" Li Ming was surprised. Judging from his age, the other party's development potential would not be lower than thirty or even thirty-five levels.
And he guessed that at this age, it might be said that he was being exaggerated intentionally.
Those who are favored by the Black Hole Network are indeed extraordinary. He sighed inwardly and asked, "How long do I have to wait?"
"Calculating the time, it'll be two months at most," Robin estimated. "If you include the time it takes to get here, it might be closer to three months. But we can go to Twin Peaks earlier."
"The nearest branch of Yeyue Biological Company is right there."
Li Ming raised his eyebrows, "Did you customize it at Yeyue Laboratory?"
He remembered that what Yeyue Laboratory had undertaken were all top-level and second-top-level A-grade gene seeds. Was this Robin so financially wealthy?
"Yeah..." Robin nodded, but suddenly a feeling of anger rose in his heart, "I get angry just talking about this."
"I should be an A-level life form by now."
Li Ming didn't care at first, but when he heard this, his expression suddenly became strange. He couldn't help but look at Luo Bing: "What does this mean?"
Robin said angrily, "According to the original schedule, my gene-seed should have been customized long ago, but that damned Night Moon Laboratory Company lied to me and said the adjustment had failed, and made me wait another three months."
"In fact, it was a prepared gene seed that they gave to other life forms!"
"Ah?" Li Ming was stunned and looked at Robin with an indescribable look.
It really is him. How could I meet him like this?
"I'm so unlucky." Robin was still complaining.
"Then do you know who took it?" Li Ming asked, stroking his chin.
"I don't know. I'm just a small character, how can I have such connections?" Robin said helplessly.
"What would happen if you knew?" Li Ming asked again.
"If I knew." Robin snorted coldly, his face falling again, "What else can I do? I don't have a backer like you."
"Actually, it's okay for me to wait three more months. After all, they paid a penalty of 20% of the total price, nearly 4 billion." Robin said, grinning again. For him, this was really not a bad thing.
He could not embezzle the star coins used for customization, as it was all handled by the butler, but the penalty for breach of contract belonged entirely to him.
For him, these more than 4 billion yuan are already a considerable fortune, enough to live a carefree life for a long, long time.
"Really..." Li Ming's eyes flickered. Why did he feel that the portrait of Robin didn't match the person who customized the golden gene seed?
You can go to Yeyue Laboratory to customize top-level A-grade gene seeds, so why bother about the penalty?
This guy has a secret.
Li Ming guessed, but didn't care too much. Anyone who has made a name for themselves in the interstellar world these days must have some secrets.
"It's mainly because Yeyue Biological Company treated me like a fool and has no credibility at all." He said angrily. The customer information is confidential to Yeyue Biological Company and it is obviously impossible to leak it to those who intercepted it.
It must be that the other party told Yeyue Company about their needs, and then Yeyue Company picked a soft persimmon, that is, him.
"He doesn't seem to know that I took the gene seeds away." Li Ming guessed secretly, although he seemed to be walking around Twin Peaks openly.
But in reality, only the big forces can get the relevant information, and Robin does not have such connections.
"Then let's wait two months." Li Ming was not in a hurry, he also had things to do.
"Thank you very much, sir." Robin showed a happy expression. He didn't expect that Li Ming was so easy to talk to.
As expected of someone who came from a small civilization, he is just as humble as him.
Unlike those so-called aristocrats and wealthy families, their descendants are all arrogant.
Li Ming added, "If you don't mind, you can stay here temporarily. You can move around freely except for some prohibited places."
"Sorry to bother you." Robin thanked him again. He was thinking about getting in touch with the other party, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
After chatting for a while, Li Ming took Robin to the guest room area. On the way, they met mercenaries and mechanical bodies from time to time. They all stopped to greet Li Ming respectfully, including some Class B life forms.
There are thirteen B-level life forms under Huitong's command, and most of them are in the base.
He even met Sandro, who was about to lead a team to complete a mercenary mission. He was also very polite to Li Ming, which made Robin even more envious and his teeth ache.
After observing all along, Li Ming was basically certain that Robin had never had a good life. The reason why he was able to customize the top-level A-grade gene seeds must be a hidden secret, a big hidden secret.
As they were walking, Li Ming suddenly stopped. Robin didn't understand why, so he looked at a group of people walking towards him.
