Chapter 202: Enter the Treasury, Repair! A-Level [Fellowes General-Class Armor]
Huotan's vision gradually blurred, and the confident look on the collector's face when he ordered this safe emerged in his mind. Everything at the moment was weird.
"It's quite powerful." Li Ming exclaimed in admiration. He hid with the upgraded [Soul Visor]. Huo Tan was only a B-level life form. It would be strange if he could find him.
Then, his eyes changed slightly, he looked down, and said in a cold voice: "Why don't you just die peacefully?"
While speaking, he was not idle either. He squatted down and tore open his abdominal cavity with lightning speed.
The running mechanical secondary heart made a faint humming sound, and the red light on its surface kept flashing, as if it was about to explode.
"Self-destruct..." Li Ming's expression was gloomy. Another advantage of the mechanically modified body was that it could perish together with an equally powerful but miserably defeated enemy.
Huo Tan was surprised. He didn't expect that such a subtle movement could be noticed by the other party.
But then, he let out a cruel sneer. In such a narrow space, where could the other party run to?
His mechanical secondary heart already functions as an energy engine, and has been specially modified. When it is run in reverse, the power it unleashes far exceeds that of the self-detonation of his limbs.
Even if it is a B-level life form with a development progress of more than 90%, it will surely die if it tries to eat it head-on in such a narrow space.
The reason why he still left a glimmer of possibility for the other party to be alive was because he was a great mechanic.
But who knew that the other party had no intention of escaping, and his palm had already landed on his mechanical secondary heart.
Huo Tan didn't care at all and laughed "ho ho". If the other party tried to crush it, it would explode prematurely.
However, the next moment, he felt his body relax, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his body surged with strength as if it were a last gasp of light, supporting him to move his head slightly, full of confusion.
His own mechanical secondary heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"How...how could this happen!?" Huo Tan murmured in a low voice, and an astonishing guess emerged in his mind, spatial ability?
Bang!
Li Ming threw out a bolt of lightning, which blew Huo Tan's head into pieces.
He naturally took control of this mechanical secondary heart and then put it into the control page.
[Z-2 Mounted Mechanical Sub-Heart - Class B: An additional energy engine mounted on the semi-mechanical modified body.
Control conditions: 500,000 metal energy
Control effect: Physical strength boost--300%
Control Ability - Mechanization: Gain 600% physical strength.
With the blessing of strong physical strength, Li Ming thought that now is not the time to study it carefully.
He quickly came to the elevator shaft and found that the elevator's operating interface had gone black and could not be operated. A small beam of electromagnetic light shot out from his fingertips, cutting a small hole in the top of the elevator.
It was discovered that the passage above was covered with metal plates.
"He activated some kind of blockade?" Li Ming pondered to himself and looked down again.
If you want to break through, it will probably take a lot of time.
However, he doesn't want to leave now.
When he lifted the bottom layer of the elevator, he found a thick metal plate. He tried to cut it with energy, but it didn't move at all.
After all, it is the collector's nest, especially the blockade of this core position, which is made of materials other than ordinary ones, and it is difficult for Class B life forms to break it in a short period of time.
The same old routine, still absorbing metal energy and cutting out a circle.
Bang!
He fell deeper into the depths, and the dust rose up, but it could hardly hide his eyes that were glowing green, like a demon in the smoke.
The door of the safe was just around the corner, and Li Ming's heart couldn't help but surge with excitement. After waiting for so long, it was finally time to reap the rewards.
The reason why he stayed in the laboratory obediently was not because he couldn't get out, but because he really had to wait for Rob to rescue him.
What he needed was an opportunity to fish in troubled waters, a chance when the Collector was not in the fortress.
And this opportunity finally came.
When we got to the door of the vault, it hadn't been completely locked shut yet, and since it wasn't built in such a hurry, we had to rely on the repair lab that the vault replaced.
There is obviously extra energy supply here, so it keeps running.
Li Ming didn't care. He put his fingers together and began to extract metal energy from it.
"Huh, the energy density of metal is not as good as that of cold nuclear black gold." Li Ming was surprised to find that this means that the specifications of this safe are not as good as the laboratory above.
In Ulrich's eyes, the entire vault seemed less important than the [Matter Reconstruction Device].
Li Ming thought in his heart, but this is better, it will take him less time. After a few minutes, he cut out a tiny semicircular hole at the bottom.
Then he went in very ungracefully. He had no idea what the situation was outside, nor did he know what reason Rob had for leading Ulrich out.
But every minute of time is precious and cannot be wasted, so it’s okay to be a little embarrassed.
The first moment he entered, he was placed in a crystal display case, enveloped in the dreamy colors of the mother ore.
One thousand three hundred and forty-seven yuan. He had counted it the last time he came.
Based on his current absorption efficiency, even if it only takes half a minute to absorb one piece, it will take more than ten hours to absorb them all, not to mention the star core fragments.
It takes too long to absorb it all, which is almost impossible.
While he was thinking, Lei Ting and Tepper walked out of his body, along with a few scattered mechanical bodies. He quickly gave orders -
"Pick out those with a volume less than 1 cubic decimeter, less than 10 cubic decimeters, and larger than 10 cubic decimeters."
"Yes!" Many mechanical bodies quickly went to select the mother ore.
He wanted to take some away, but the size of these mother ores varied, and the space volume brought by the subspace folding ring was limited, so the large ones would definitely not be suitable, and it was more suitable to absorb them on the spot.
He can only hope now that there are not too many large mother mines.
With a mechanical body working for him, he quickly ran to the star core fragments, picked up one and absorbed it directly.
At the same time, looking around, there are many collections here, but for him, the most valuable ones are the mother ore, star core fragments, and crystals in some dimensions.
It’s not that he looks down on other collections. If he has the ability, he really wants to take them all away. They can be sold for a lot of money.
But he couldn't take them all away. Although some of them could be controlled, if he controlled them one by one, it would be a waste of metal energy and lose sight of the main goal.
And more of them are just collectibles.
At the same time, his mind turned and he opened the control page again. The situation was unknown now and there was no guarantee that there would be no danger.
There are three dimensional crystals sparkling with bright light placed under his body.
The colors are all different, the surface is like crystal, and there is surging power within.
He can already upgrade A-level items, and he still has 18 million left, which allows him to upgrade up to two A-level items.
However, he was not in a hurry to use the absorbed dimensional crystals to upgrade.
This thing is difficult to absorb, so it is used in another way - repair.
It is difficult to obtain dimensional crystals, so if you can do without them, you might as well hold on to them for now.
[Feros Warrior Armor], this thing is originally an A-level armor, but it is damaged. It only needs to provide metal energy to turn it into an A-level control object again.
He did it right away. Metal energy poured in crazily. On the control page, the broken Ferros armor began to gradually repair itself. Golden energy burned on the edges and gradually extended, with golden lines outlined on the shoulder armor.
On the helmet, the half-broken golden prism crystal was gradually completed, faintly emitting arcs of electricity, and the black cloak behind him extended out, becoming more complete.
The entire armor is black and gold in color, without too many sharp edges. Instead, it fits the human limbs better and is less than two meters high.
[Feros Warrior-class Mecha--Class A: Forged with Xio Metal and Phantom Dragon Fiber as the main materials.
Control Effect: Occupation - Thunder Guardian
Control Ability - Over Limit: Spend a certain amount of time to release the Ferros Armor, which can increase strength by up to 1000%, speed by 1000%, and defense by up to 1000%.
The investment of 7.56 million metal energies resulted in an explosive data improvement, with an overall thirty-fold increase.
Li Ming's eyes were burning. This was the first item he controlled in battle. More importantly, the data improvement was one aspect, and he could materialize it and then possess it.
After all, this is A-level armor. No one below A-level should be able to break it.
At the same time, the metal energy continued to beat non-stop, and the sorting work of numerous mechanical bodies was very fast.
There are not many large-scale mother ores, and most of them are medium and small.
After all, the mother ore is basically produced in the core position of the ore vein, with extremely high pressure around it, and it is alienated from a small part.
"There are 236 large mother ores, and the largest one is even more than 1 cubic meter." Li Ming pondered. He is now very experienced and there is no difference between the size of the mother ore and the special energy it contains.
"The rest were stuffed into my personal space, barely enough to take with me."
"Absorb these first..." Li Ming decided immediately.
…
In Area C of the Trading Island, several armored villains knelt on the ground. They were of various life forms, with their hands in strange shapes behind their backs.
Cassis paced back and forth with an expression of indifference. The guards had already taken control of the situation. "You are violating the third security regulation of the Trading Island. You are not allowed to cause trouble in the shops protected by the Trading Island."
"Each person will be fined one million star coins within three days. If you can't pay, don't blame me..."
Before she could finish her words, a violent roar came from far away.
Then, the many interstellar villains watching outside cried out in surprise and looked in the same direction with horror.
The guards stationed outside had expressions that changed drastically, "Commander!"
He pointed in a direction and was speechless. Cassis suddenly felt uneasy, because that was the direction of the Iron Castle.
In a flash, she appeared outside the store, a look of shock and anger flashed across her face, and she saw a smoke ring bursting out from a floor of the Iron Castle.
"Someone is attacking!" Her face was grim. Discussions had already started around them, and many people had excited expressions of watching the fun.
"Fuck! The Collector's lair was attacked! Who's so bold?"
"You dare to pull the whiskers of an A-level life form? Now we're in for a good show."
"Idiot, can't you see? The Collector is definitely not in the castle, otherwise why would there be such a commotion?"
"Keep your voice down... Cassis is still here."
“…”
Cassis no longer cared to pursue the matter and whispered, "Contact the Collector immediately!"
The soldier behind him suddenly woke up, took out his smart terminal, and after a while of operation, he said tremblingly: "Commander, we can't contact the Master Collector. Isn't he on the spaceship?"
Yes, Sandro!
Cassis was so worried that she forgot that due to the special environment of the Land of Stars, the signals of these floating islands would become disordered once they left.
Ulrich was invited by Sandro and had already gone to his territory. It was impossible to contact him before he arrived.
The timing of the attack was too coincidental, forcing her to suspect Sandro. After a flicker of expression, she said in a deep voice:
"Issuing a local bounty in the name of the Collector, framing the trading island, with a total value of one billion star coins. Someone is attacking the Iron Castle. If you can stop it, you will be rewarded according to your work."
She did not return impulsively. Since the other party dared to attack, they must be well prepared. With her own strength, she would be a dead end if she returned. She could only seek external support.
At the same time, she turned around and stared coldly at the people kneeling on the ground.
The bounty was quickly issued, and the eyes of many interstellar villains who were watching the fun suddenly turned green.
………
Boom!!
Boom!!
Fireworks burst out. Outside the elevator shaft, Rob's expression was gloomy. The surroundings were in ruins and the metal walls were twisted and crooked.
His hands turned into thick lava claws, which kept hammering on the closed metal panels. As he attacked, the blocking metal panels kept denting, but they were not torn apart.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Rob kept roaring along with the sound of bombardment.
The plan went so smoothly that he neglected Hortan, the butler who seemed to have no fighting ability and followed Ulrich.
He had already activated the emergency blockade leading to the lower level, which was another security system that the people he buried could not access.
Snap!
Finally, a crack appeared in the metal blockade. Rob grabbed the gap with both hands, and flames gushed out like an erupting volcano.
Froza and the others retreated hastily, the edge of the crack turned crimson and was slowly torn apart by him.
Rob let out a breath and looked down, his face looked even uglier, because there was another blockade panel below.
"Boss, should we try from the side?" Froza said cautiously, "Maybe it'll be easier from the side."
"Idiot, you think I can't think of it?"
The Collector does not deal with external forces, but his lair is built to be impregnable. The Iron Castle is not a random nickname, and the entire building is almost entirely made of cast alloy.
The outside of the elevator shaft is not made of concrete, but solid alloy. Although the material strength is not as good as this blockade plate, its thickness is terrifying and the overall strength is even higher.
"Idiots, a bunch of idiots!" Rob yelled. Frosa and the others fell silent. They spoke cautiously, "Rob, it will take Ulrich at least five hours to go back and forth. We still have time, so there's no need to rush."
"Is it Ulrich I'm worried about?" Rob roared. "It's Hotan. What do you think he's going down there to do? Run away?"
"He went down there to kill someone!" Rob gritted his teeth.
There is no doubt that Hortan is loyal to Ulrich. In the current situation, Hortan's first choice is not to protect Qinglong, but to protect the interests of the collector.
Since it cannot be kept, it will definitely be destroyed. What he is more afraid of is that the thing will be destroyed.
Froza was stunned and his heart trembled. If he got nothing and offended Ulrich, it would be a big loss.
