Chapter 346: Li Ming barely meets the stringent qualifications?
Pairs of eyes of different colors flickered, all staring at the giant elephant.
During this period, everyone was scratching their heads in anxiety.
Most people understand that such great things will rarely happen to them.
But who doesn’t have a “what if” in mind?
Everyone wants to know the qualifications for selection, but there are only a few who can speak to the Holy Elephant, and they are all hiding.
The Holy Elephant of Domination remained silent for a moment. When everyone thought that the selection criteria were confidential, he spoke lazily, "According to interstellar standards, the age must be under one hundred years old."
Everyone listened quietly. There was nothing much to say. The successor must be young.
"The development potential must be at least level five..."
"Level 5?" Everyone was confused at first. An elderly lifeform whispered, "Level 5 is 50. This is another classification method that's been around for a while..."
Level 50!
After a slight murmur, it fell into deathly silence again, leaving one with a dry mouth.
This requirement is too high.
When they heard this number, everyone was shocked.
Some people even doubt whether there are any life forms in the universe with such potential for development.
"Level five? A bit high..." The mechanical body carrying Alex's consciousness frowned slightly. Its facial features were delicate and could clearly see even the slightest change in expression.
"If he can't become an X-level life form and has no hope of becoming the ultimate evolved form, what do I need him for?" The giant elephant said casually.
Alex shook his head helplessly. "What I mean is, life forms with such potential for development won't come here. They are well protected by all the major forces. They are the pillars of the future and there's no way they'd risk coming here."
Alex's words sparked a flurry of discussion and surprise. "Is there really a life form with this kind of potential for development?"
Someone spoke with certainty, knowing some secrets, "Of course there are. These are basically all induced through targeted cultivation. The sperm and egg must have high development potential, and they must undergo various meticulous adjustments during embryogenesis before they can be born."
"But this development potential is difficult to cultivate even for an imperial civilization."
In the field, Alex continued, "As for naturally occurring interstellar life, it's basically unlikely to reach this level of life potential. Years of records have shown..."
At this point, the master craftsman paused, as if thinking of something, but still shook his head: "You want to choose that kind of successor here, it's impossible."
The Holy Elephant of Domination remained noncommittal and continued, "You're wrong. Reaching this level of development potential doesn't guarantee he's the successor. He must at least possess the mechanical talent to become a Casting-level mechanic."
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
"This kind of talent seems difficult to inherit."
"Level 50 development potential, and the talent to become at least a Casting-level mechanic..."
To put it bluntly, only people with insufficient development potential would pursue such a "side path" as mechanics.
"Isn't this... a waste? A development potential of level 50, and a certain talent for mechanics is required? Who would want to be a mechanic with such development potential?" A half-transformed mechanic complained, his mechanical pupils spinning non-stop.
Time is limited. If you focus on studying, you won’t be able to develop genetic seeds, which will be a waste of development potential.
"Maybe it's for the future? After becoming a higher life form, won't we have more time to study mechanics..." said an outsider.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately laughed at by a group of mechanics.
"After becoming a higher life form, I'll go back and study mechanics? I already have that level of strength. If I don't continue to evolve, I'll be wasting my time."
Alex was silent for a long time after hearing this, and couldn't help but say, "The development potential of the forging hammer is not high, why do you have to find an evolutionary form with such high development potential?"
"Don't worry about it. Do you have any recommendations?" Tongyu Shengxiang asked directly.
Alex shook his head. "Is this the request left by the Hammer, or did you take it upon yourself to find someone like this to inherit the estate?"
"Who says someone like this can inherit?" The Holy Elephant of Domination shook his head again, causing a violent gust of wind. "This is just the qualification. You still have to pass my assessment."
Everyone was completely speechless. If the Hammersmith's status was not indeed high, and if the strength of this giant elephant was not low, the mechanic would have cursed loudly.
If you don't want anyone to inherit, just say it directly. Why go through so many twists and turns?
"What do you want to be tested on?" Alex frowned, feeling it was too strange. "What on earth does the Hammer Forge want you to do?"
"I said, it has nothing to do with you." The Holy Elephant of Domination was not polite at all. Under the attention of everyone, Alex was not angry, but just shook his head slightly.
"It seems that there is someone who is barely qualified..." A few words suddenly came from a corner.
"Oh?" The single eye of the Holy Elephant suddenly lit up, and a beam of light shot out and fell on the man, causing him to fly uncontrollably with his limbs trembling.
He was also a mechanic. Several of his teammates were shocked and kept shouting, "Joseph... Joseph..."
Joseph was also in shock, his whole body numb. When he came to his senses, he was already standing at the feet of the ruling holy elephant.
The majestic figure was like a huge mountain, and the terrifying sense of oppression that came over him made him almost speechless.
"With such demanding qualifications, is there anyone who meets them?" The voice of the Commander of the Holy Elephant was like thunder exploding in Joseph's ears, almost breaking his eardrums, but it also brought him back to his senses.
Do you think it's harsh too?
Everyone complained silently in their hearts.
Joseph tried to gather his thoughts, recalling the young figure he had encountered during the assessment at the Mechanics Association branch at the Twin Peaks node. His throat churned as he spoke:
"There is one person, but he only barely qualifies because his development potential is less than level 50, only 46."
When he said the word "only", Joseph felt that he was too crazy.
When this number was mentioned, many people had already reacted and their eyes changed.
"Oh..." The Holy Elephant of Domination pondered, then asked, "What about your talent for mechanics?"
Joseph added, "He has been accepted as a student by a Forge-level mechanic. Back in his native civilization, he had a record of manufacturing C-class weapons. Some speculate that it was less than a year after Qinglong accepted him as a student, and he would have been nineteen years old."
Since that day, he went back and searched for information about Li Ming in detail. It was clear that many people were digging up information about Li Ming in the Corona Borealis star ring, especially the Silver Cluster.
"Oh, he's talking about Li Ming. He seems to be barely able to make it, just missing four levels of development potential, not much more..."
"Level 4 isn't enough? At that level, level 4 is simply an insurmountable barrier!"
"Who is Li Ming?"
“Just a while ago…”
Discussions had already started all around. Some people had vaguely heard of the name Qinglong, but were not familiar with Li Ming. When they heard the explanations from the people around them, their faces became more envious.
"Level 46 development potential, star-level mechanic teacher, a true winner in life."
"Have you not seen that his parents are both dead and he's been bullied for so many years?"
The huge eyes of the ruling holy elephant flashed with inexplicable meaning, and a ray of light came out of the elephant's trunk, which was like a pillar reaching the sky. It turned out to be a silver mechanical staff, about two meters long, with a crescent-shaped front end, hanging a silver energy core, and fell in front of Joseph.
"This is for you." As soon as he finished speaking, Joseph was thrown out.
Everyone looked at it sideways, but soon realized that the mechanical staff was only a B-level weapon and lost interest.
But there were also people who were envious and had already thought of Li Ming, but they were a step too late and did not say it out loud.
"Do you know this person?" The Holy Elephant looked at Alex.
"I've heard of it..." Alex said lightly, his eyes thoughtful.
The Holy Elephant of Domination seemed to want to ask more, but suddenly seemed to react and shook his large ears like a palm leaf fan, "No, no, level 46 is not allowed. If you say level 50, it must be level 50..."
“Even level 46 is not enough…” Everyone was stunned. They thought that after asking for so long, the Holy Elephant would finally find someone who was qualified.
But some people have figured out that this old elephant seems to be trying to cover up something.
In such a public place, the name Li Ming was brought up, which might cause him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Alex didn't delve into the topic and instead asked, "Holy Elephant, you've been stepping on this person for so long. Has he offended you?"
"It's not that I've offended you. I just saw him chopping off my leg when I came here, even though it was a fake leg." The Holy Elephant of Domination moved its feet, and Gaint felt severe pain all over his body, and his bones were crackling.
"Can you please give me some face and let him go?" Alex said.
The Dominating Holy Elephant is the pet of the Hammersmith and has a special status. Its own strength is one aspect, and the meaning it represents is another.
This made it difficult for the Xingyuan Empire to send anyone to threaten them. If a fight really broke out, the Mechanics Association certainly couldn't just sit there and watch.
"So you are here to beg for mercy..." said the Holy Elephant of Domination, and Gaint flew out from under his feet, giving him this face.
Alex raised his hand, and under the influence of the invisible force field, Gaint slowly fell down.
In the corner, Blackbeard stroked his beard, still surprised, "I didn't expect that this time I could actually lure the real thing out."
He worried, "With the Holy Elephant of Domination here, the accusations against the Hammersmith by others might not count. However, the sensation it would cause would be even greater, and would have a greater impact on subsequent plans..."
The sudden change has both advantages and disadvantages for the plan. Blackbeard thought about it, but then he thought of Qinglong.
"Li Ming, his student barely meets the requirements of commanding the Holy Elephant, really..." He now even suspected that this matter was also part of Qinglong's plan.
Shake your head and wipe away the inexplicable thoughts.
Alex has already left with Gaint, and what happened here has spread to the interstellar space at the fastest speed, causing a heat wave.
It's not just because the conditions for selecting an heir are so harsh, but also because there is actually someone who barely meets the qualifications.
The popularity of the name Li Ming soared exponentially and quickly surpassed that of his teacher, Qinglong.
………
At the same time, a black shuttle emerged from the rippling void, and the whole world looked gray, as if wrapped in haze, with free iron ions floating in the air.
The coverage area of a conventional S-level dimensional world is probably larger than that of a conventional life planet.
The ground is dark brown with a metallic luster, and huge bare brown mountains can be seen everywhere.
Some large mining equipment can also be seen, but most of them have stopped operating at this moment. One third of the tallest mountain has been mined.
Thus, a pale golden palace was revealed, slanted into the mountain. The exposed part was carved with rather strange patterns, and the overall look was magnificent and grand.
There are several bases in the distance, and they have also stopped operating at this moment.
The shuttle fell rapidly, and its engine gradually shut down. Immediately, some people flew over, all of them covered in black gauze, and their combat armor was basically invisible.
They were all wearing tight-fitting combat uniforms, and there were many humanoid life forms, with tall and enchanting postures.
"Mother Earth, what's going on over there? Who threw the probe over here?" asked the leader, whose name was Alius, and he was the contact here.
"We didn't find anyone. They might have wandered in from multiple dimensions." Mother Earth shook her head. "This probe is of outdated model, and it's the style of the Yongyao Federation. It probably has nothing to do with the target."
Aleus nodded.
Mother Earth continued, "According to intelligence, the other party will most likely be teleported directly into this dimensional world. We just need to make sure it's not the Xingyuan Empire that has discovered the anomaly."
In the shadows, Li Ming was concentrating and caught the conversation. High probability?
They were just guessing, not getting accurate intelligence that I was coming here?
Austin and Robin's suspicions were further reduced, and he felt quite emotional. By a twist of fate, Chlonoa's attack prevented him from falling into the trap.
"I hope so, but maybe he won't come." Alius shook his head.
"Not coming?" Mother Earth was obviously surprised. "Where did you get this information?"
"The latest news is that the Sacred Elephant of Domination that appeared in the Central World has revealed the qualifications for the successor selection: at least level 50 development potential, and a very high talent for mechanics..." Alus said, having already opened the smart terminal.
"Someone mentioned Li Ming at the scene. Although the Holy Elephant Commander said he was unqualified, he was clearly moved. If the target knew about it, he might go directly to the central world."
Mother Earth looked at the scene on the screen in surprise and couldn't help but frown. "Now, more people are eyeing the target. If we don't find an opportunity this time, it may be more difficult in the future."
Then he shook his head and said, "Li Ming and Qinglong are not stupid. If they go there rashly, they will only become food in the eyes of others. Go reset the equipment. The space ripple just now triggered the monitoring mechanism."
"yes!"
Li Ming, who was hiding in the shadows of the Earth Mother's men, was already confused. He could see the images played by the other party clearly.
Wasn’t the Holy Elephant of Domination fake? How did it become real?
At first he suspected that it was a trap set by the pioneers, but after confirming that it was in the central world, he dismissed the idea.
It is impossible to impersonate in such a place. Forces like the Xingyuan Empire will teach them a lesson in minutes.
"The fake news led to the real thing. It disappeared for so many years, why did it suddenly appear at this time?" Li Ming had many doubts in his mind.
Not to mention, it also involves discussions about oneself.
"Looking at the situation, this Holy Elephant of Domination appeared more than ten days ago, not long after I entered the dimensional world."
Li Ming roughly understood the relevant situation through the conversations between several people before and some information revealed in the picture.
I had been on the road and had not received any information from the outside world. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen.
