Chapter 122: Finally able to reduce the cooling time of the control object switching
"Why are there only these two people who attacked? Are they from the same camp?" Zhang Huaiyuan was still trying to react when Li Ming seamlessly got to the point.
Chen Jinglong looked at him deeply and shook his head, saying, "Obviously not. The people we caught along the way had completely different styles of behavior from these two. They looked like the Torch people."
"But these two...heavy armor, sniper rifles, attack and kill without hesitation..."
Chen Jinglong didn't finish his words.
At the same time, secret service members in plain clothes who were hiding everywhere came from all directions and began to clean up the scene, pull up shielding lines, and enclose the bodies.
Not long after, a figure jumped down from a height, holding a half-dead person in his hand. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and the sniper rifle on his back was very eye-catching.
"Teacher, we've caught the person." He handed the person in his hand to the field staff, who put on the gene suppressor while testing whether he was carrying suicide poison.
"This kind of heavy armor and sniper rifle are not something that ordinary people can get." Li Ming took a glance and quickly came up with a few names.
Star Creation Company, Sera Civilization.
Needless to say, Xingchuang Company is very powerful in Blue Star.
The Sera civilization had long regarded him as a thorn in their side.
Now that Yuko is dead, they have suffered a huge loss and are eager to kill him. They have sufficient motives.
"Jingnanxing at least has an aerospace shield and the [Regulations Prohibiting Light and Heavy Weapons]. It is very difficult to smuggle such heavy weapons." Chen Jinglong squatted down and checked the type of armor on the attacker.
"We should be able to find some clues." Chen Jinglong stood up. In the interstellar society, every movement will leave traces. The bigger the movement, the bigger the trace left behind.
Thinking of this, his brows furrowed slightly. Besides Fu Zongchen being killed...
"Li Ming?" The man brought Li Ming back to his senses while he was thinking, and introduced himself as Yuan Hong.
"I didn't expect that my junior brother has such sharp observation skills." Yuan Hong's eyes were strange.
Along the way, he followed Li Ming's instructions to arrest people. At first he was shocked and doubtful, but later he became numb. He had never felt so relaxed before.
"I worked as a city guard for a while and learned some skills." Li Ming explained modestly.
When I returned to the laboratory, it was almost dusk.
He reminded Chen Jinglong again and again not to forget to deliver his ten mother ores. Seeing that the other party's face turned black, he got out of the car reluctantly.
Luo Chuan was relieved to see him come back safe and sound, and he reminded him as they walked:
"If the dean asks you to do something risky like this again, remember to refuse. Don't be embarrassed. Nothing is more important than your own life."
Seeing that Luochuan was suspected of evolving into an old mother, Li Ming made repeated assurances.
After watching Luo Chuan leave, Li Ming did not return to his room, but knocked on Chen Yan's door.
The room is decorated in a warm and pink color, with various virtual pictures and paper figures with eight-pack abs, which is very consistent with her personality.
Chen Yan placed her delicate fingers on her lips, signaling Li Ming not to speak.
Li Ming now has [Intelligent Assistance] turned on all the time. As soon as he walked in, he found that there were at least two very deeply hidden surveillance devices.
"Going to bed so early?" Li Ming followed suit and started acting.
Chen Yan also cooperated: "Not yet, watch two episodes of before going to sleep."
"Come to my room, I'll show you a big treasure." Li Ming pulled Chen Yan and pushed her.
Chen Yan gritted her teeth secretly.
When they arrived at Li Ming's room, Chen Yan said coldly, "You don't have to put on such a show. The equipment in my room is just a listening device, not a surveillance camera."
"Who put it there? Lao Luo?" Li Ming asked.
"It should be him."
"He doubts your identity?" Li Ming frowned slightly.
"I don't know. When I first came here, I checked the entire room and there was no surveillance equipment. They must have been put in a few days after I left your room." Chen Yan shook her head.
"It's not so much that he doubts my identity, but rather that he wants to make sure I can do you any harm."
When Yan first realized this, he felt depressed.
Did Luo Chuan really think Li Ming was a naive young man who had never seen the world? He was even afraid that he was deceiving him.
Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, then his expression turned serious and he shouted, "How did you report this to Huoju? I almost died in Huoju's hands today, did you know that?"
Chen Yan was stunned. No, brother, you changed your expression too quickly.
However, after hearing Li Ming's words, her expression changed slightly. "The Torch can't kill you. They haven't given me any orders to cooperate."
Li Ming's expression was gloomy. "What's impossible? Heavy armor, long-range sniper rifles, and more than a dozen lurking personnel. This drama is too much."
"Heavy armor? Long-range sniper rifle?" Chen Yan was even more surprised: "How could the torch make such a big noise?"
"I was just about to ask you, what did you say to Torch?" Li Ming's eyes were cold.
Me? Chen Yan paused. "Do you suspect I'm interfering?"
She was extremely angry. It was bad enough that she was caught by Torch, but after sneaking in here, she was caught by Li Ming again.
Now I am stuck in a dilemma, it's like walking on a tightrope without any shoes on, it's extremely uncomfortable,
Her face was tense and she said bluntly, "Since you didn't trust me from the beginning to the end, why did you spare my life then? You might as well have killed me."
"I was just about to correct this mistake." Li Ming had pulled out a dagger from somewhere.
"Wait, wait..." Chen Yan waved her hands hurriedly, her anger subsided and she stepped back: "I can explain, give me some time, I can find out what's going on!"
"Are you sure?" Li Ming narrowed his eyes.
"Five days, give me five days!" Chen Yan promised immediately.
Li Ming suddenly smiled, and the dagger in his hand disappeared. He smiled brightly: "Oh, it was just a joke, look how scared you are."
Chen Yan's throat rolled and her face turned pale. She just wanted to leave here.
He smiled in agreement and then hurried away.
Is it really necessary to scare him so much?
Li Ming shook his head. Of course, he was not just trying to scare Chen Yan, he also wanted to use the torch to see if he could find out who the other group of people were.
"After all, I am your key investment target. I was almost shorted by someone. You have to investigate anyway." He muttered and opened the box on the ground. Inside were all the gadgets he bought today. He took control of them one by one.
The most important thing is the [Soul Visor].
[Soul Visor - D-Level (Damaged): Made of hafnium alloy as the main material, combined with quantum matrix.
Control conditions: 6,000 metal energy points
Control effect: Hidden blessing--100%
Control Ability - Psionic Concealment: Distorts one's own image in the vision of D-class life forms and below, as well as in conventional monitoring equipment.
After he gained control, he tried it out and filmed himself with a smart device. Sure enough, his whole body was distorted, but it didn't disappear completely. It was like a cloud of mist.
Then, he upgraded it, investing 60,000 points to upgrade it to C-level. The severely faded half of the face armor turned light gold again, and the stripes and grooves formed a special pattern.
The hidden blessing becomes 150%. Li Ming has never tried this blessing effect. I am afraid it needs to be stacked to an extremely high number before there will be any change.
The ability can conceal C-level life forms and advanced monitoring equipment.
He experimented again and found that the original image of the fog had turned into a distorted transparent body, which was difficult to see unless you looked carefully.
Li Ming was very satisfied, and he was more secretive in what he did afterwards. However, there were only about 40,000 metal energy left, which made him suck his teeth. It was too fast.
We have to find a way to get some more.
…
Dean Chen Jinglong was very efficient. Early the next morning, someone delivered the items in a large storage device.
"The teacher said that the things must be delivered to you." Yuan Hong smiled, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit, looking more like a beast in human skin than yesterday.
"Please thank the dean for me and tell him that if there is such good thing in the future, remember to look for me." Li Ming joked.
Yuan Hong came and went in a hurry, put his things down and left, as if he had something else to do.
Li Ming rubbed his hands and moved it into the room impatiently. As the condensed mist spread, the silver storage box opened, and a mechanical arm lifted the metal cabinet up, on which ten pieces of ores of different sizes were neatly placed.
There are all kinds of colors, placed in different liquid tanks, and most of them contain strange powers.
Li Ming couldn't stop rubbing his hands. After being strengthened with the mother ore, the controlled object may gain supernatural powers, which is quite powerful.
Most of the commonly used control items have been strengthened by the mother ore, but there are still a few left.
There were also sticky notes on the storage devices with the names of the parent minerals written on them. A quick search on the Starnet would reveal their characteristics.
"The dean is very generous. He said ten and he really gave me ten." Li Ming grinned and was in a good mood. He didn't expect that the dean also had so many mother ores.
He absorbed them one by one. The special energy extracted from these mother ores should be enough for him to use for a long time.
"If I cut these mother ores into two pieces, will I be able to extract two portions of special energy?" he thought aimlessly.
The birth of mother ore requires an extremely accidental opportunity. Unless it is extremely huge, it will basically not be cut open, and some of its internal properties can easily be damaged by cutting.
Soon, the last piece was also absorbed by him, and a total of ten special energies were neatly arranged and displayed on the control bar.
Just as Li Ming felt a sense of satisfaction, he discovered a pop-up prompt on the control page:
[Should I consume ten special energies to reduce the cooldown time for switching controlled items?]
Um?
Li Ming was stunned at first, and then he instantly became alert.
To reduce the cooldown time of switching controlled objects, special energy is required?
Li Ming was surprised. This was really an unexpected result. If it weren't for this unexpected situation, it would take him a long time to accumulate ten special energies.
It’s not because of the difficulty, but because he will probably have to consume it after getting it, so it’s difficult to accumulate it continuously.
"Not even a reminder." Li Ming shook his head and naturally chose consumption to shorten the cooling time of switching the controlled objects.
On one side of the control bar, neatly arranged special energies disappeared row after row.
The message that came from nowhere flowed through his mind, "The original two-hour waiting time will now only take one hour."
“It’s been reduced by half.”
Li Ming was quite excited, but then he thought about it and his face fell again, "Based on the nature of the control upgrade, I won't need to consume 100 pieces of mother ore next time."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. If he cut it in half this time, he would probably cut it in half next time as well, from one hour to half an hour.
If you keep cutting it in half, the consumption will increase and the time you can save will become less and less.
"It should be enough to reduce it to a few minutes. A battle can be switched several times." Li Ming imagined the future.
Power form, speed form, defense form, comprehensive form, maybe even a superpower form, which would be really cool.
I couldn't help but laugh, but was then reminded by the consumption required. "Alas, there is still a long way to go. At least I know how to reduce the cooldown time."
Back to reality, we still have to keep our feet on the ground and continue to develop genetic seeds until the night falls.
When he was sleeping at night, he dreamed that he opened a treasure chest, which was full of mother ore.
But all those mother ores went crazy, growing mouths and legs on their bodies, chasing him and biting him, scaring him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"No, I'm being chased by the mother ore. I have to absorb them all."
Li Ming gritted his teeth, covered his head and went to seek revenge.
Dark clouds gathered at night, lightning flashed, and soon raindrops began to fall like beads.
In an apartment building, in a high-rise room, the curtains were drawn tightly, and there was only dim light in the room. A few figures were sitting casually on the sofa and chairs, and no one was speaking.
Until the doorbell rang, and a bust of a man wearing a blue raincoat popped up on the screen hanging on the wall.
"Open the door..." A dull voice sounded as someone opened the door. The smell of rain hit me in the face. Water droplets dripped from the corners of my raincoat as I walked in.
"Fire Source..." everyone spoke.
The fire source asked impatiently: "Why are the lights so dim?"
I flipped on the switch on the wall, and the downlights on all sides came on. The blazing white beams of light illuminated the entire room as if it were daytime.
The pupils of several people shrank for a moment and remained silent.
"I called you here for two things." He shook himself, raindrops falling, and looked around:
"First, someone attacked Li Ming yesterday. Was it one of your people?"
"All our people have been captured. We don't know who those heavy armored soldiers and snipers belong to." Several people around shook their heads.
"Find out as soon as possible," he said in a deep voice. "With a potential of sixteen, only he can attract the attention of [Super Istanbul]. If he dies before the plan is completed, all our efforts will be wasted."
"He will not tolerate any mistakes!"
"We understand." Everyone nodded with determination on their faces.
"There's one more thing. The Firework Apostle is coming." As soon as the words fell, a look of mixed excitement and fear appeared on the faces of the others.
The Fire Envoy seemed oblivious and continued, "However, due to the series of incidents on Jingnan Star, the difficulty of smuggling has greatly increased. It will be very troublesome for this person to come in."
"Do you have any channels to solve this problem?"
"This..." Everyone looked at each other, and finally turned their attention to one of them. He was in his thirties, with an ordinary face and a beard. He hesitated and said, "Although I have been lurking in Jingnan for many years, the channels I have access to are not high-end."
Huo Yuanshi frowned, a little annoyed: "Who killed Fu Zongchen? Do you have any clues?"
"Not yet." This time someone quickly chimed in: "It's said that the investigation team has reached the point where they suspect that the person present has spatial abilities."
