Chapter 221 Gabriel's decisiveness severely slowed down the development speed
However, Ronan's expression suddenly tensed up, because behind the great mechanic, silver nanoparticles flowed and formed a cannon muzzle in the blink of an eye, with energy flashing inside.
Ronan just snorted coldly, and the space where the muzzle was located stagnated, and the silver nanoparticles seemed to stop flowing.
But then came the second, third, fourth, fifth... dozens of gun muzzles, almost filling the entire room.
Gabriel's face changed drastically. He had seen the power of this strange nano-cluster cannon before.
One bullet would be fine, but with so many bullets aimed at them, it’s hard to say whether Ronan can withstand it.
Ronan's expression was solemn, and the space around him became much denser. He said in a cold voice: "I don't believe that so many cannons can be fired."
"You can give it a try." Li Ming looked calm, and a faint light appeared at the same time in the muzzle formed by numerous nanoparticles.
Ronan's ability seems to make it difficult to block a large area of space at the same time.
"At such a close distance, I can easily cut off your head." Ronan said in a deep voice.
Monroe took a step forward, and Li Mingze said, "The spatial ability is indeed strange and unpredictable, but it is not undetectable."
"Besides, your physical strength should not be very high."
Ronan's face looked grim, he felt suffocated and difficult. If he was alone, he would not be afraid, but Gabriel following behind him was a burden.
"Your Excellency Qinglong," Gabriel suddenly spoke, his face expressionless, and he showed no fear either. He lowered his head and said, "This investigation and pursuit was indeed too abrupt. If this has offended you, I apologize."
"Since you are not an enemy of our Xingyuan Empire, there is no need to create further disputes because of this misunderstanding."
Li Ming raised his brows slightly. He also knew that he could not do anything to the other party.
He only had one cannon that could fire, and the rest were just bluffs. The reason he intimidated the other party was to make them feel fearful.
Let the other party have no idea about him in a short time, or gather more strength to have ideas about him, delaying the time longer.
For him, his strength is growing almost every day, and the longer he delays, the better.
He had been quite worried before. If this guy continued to be a noble and refused to give in, it would be really difficult to deal with.
However, he didn't expect that this guy would surrender faster and with a better attitude than he had imagined.
Li Ming grinned and snapped his fingers. All the gun muzzles disappeared, gathered into nanoparticles, and returned to his body.
Ronan's eyes changed and he was horrified. This action seemed ordinary, but all the nanoparticles should be in his space blockade.
How could they ignore the space blockade?
He found it difficult to understand, but he suppressed his emotions.
"That's right." He smiled and glanced at Ronan silently. He used the control page to retract the nanoparticles and directly broke through the opponent's space blockade. This guy is quite good at managing his emotions.
"Your Highness, someone like you should be sitting in a command room with a comfortable temperature, commanding your subordinates to die. Why would you risk your life yourself?"
"I hope that next time we meet, you and I will still be friends."
Li Ming nodded, then turned and left, followed closely by Monroe.
After a moment, Ronan's eyes flickered, and his tense nerves relaxed slightly: "Your Highness, they're gone."
"Your Highness, I..."
Gabriel raised his hand, his expression changed, and his chest rose and fell slightly.
It was obvious that he was not as calm as he looked. He pressed his slender fingers on his heart, feeling the surging beating.
"Life and death crisis..." Gabriel muttered to himself. Ronan hesitated and said, "Your Highness, do you want to..."
"Let's go, let's go now." Gabriel shook his head. "Leave here and don't do anything. He's right. It's stupid to put yourself in danger."
“That’s stupid!”
His voice suddenly became high-pitched, and Ronan was startled. When he looked up, his heart skipped a beat, and he saw that Gabriel's pupils were full of bloodshot.
He had never seen Gabriel like this before. Ronan remained silent and shook his head secretly.
Ronan was born into a noble family in the Xingyuan Empire, and has had a smooth journey since his birth.
In his opinion, the Land of Stars is just a remote pond in the interstellar space. Although he did not say it openly, his indifference can be seen in various details.
However, he didn't expect to be hit directly in the face by the big mechanic's cannon. This reckless fighting style taught the imperial noble a severe lesson.
But Gabriel's elite education in the empire was not in vain, and he didn't think of revenge, so he turned around and ran away.
The group moved quickly and had packed their things long ago. Their spaceship docked at another port, and they quickly completed the formalities, drove out of the platform, and disappeared without a trace.
"Really gone?"
In the corner, Li Ming, who had been following all the way, was quite surprised.
Having missed the open confrontation, he had originally planned to see the other party's subsequent reaction, and find an opportunity to bypass the old man and attack the prince directly.
It turned out that the other party went straight to the port. It took less than half an hour from leaving the hotel to leaving the floating island, which was extremely fast.
Monroe breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the other party had left. He whispered a reminder: "Don't provoke the people of Xingyuan Empire. It's best not to provoke them, otherwise there will be endless trouble."
"I never thought of provoking them." Li Ming shook his head.
Monroe shook his head helplessly. He hadn't wanted to provoke the Xingyuan Empire in the first place, but the Xingyuan Empire had set its sights on him. He sighed and said, "Sir, is there anything else I can help you with? If not, I'll leave now."
"No more." Li Ming shook his head. "Your Excellency Star King, thank you for your help."
"Let's help each other." Monroe nodded and disappeared into the crowd.
Meanwhile, somewhere else, Ulrich was sweating profusely. "Where are they?"
He pointed to an open space. It was at that place that he watched Qinglong turn into smoke and disappear without a trace.
"I don't know." Theo seemed much more indifferent.
"I don't know?" Ulrich gritted his teeth and said, "He ran away, ran away!"
"I should have thought that he was wandering around here just looking for an opportunity to escape."
Theo glanced at him and said, "I've been fooled by him twice. If he wanted to run away, he would have run away long ago."
"Maybe I was a little slow when I was chasing him just now, and the person was replaced."
"You've been fooled by him twice?" Ulrich was stunned. "How did you keep an eye on him?"
"Who knows what kind of ability this is? It's so weird. This phantom has a physical body, a smell, and behaves just like him. It also has information. You just experienced it yourself. How can you tell?" Theo frowned, not caring.
"His trophy, Thiago, has been shipped back. It's worth a fortune. How could he just throw it away like that?"
"Besides, do you think that now is still the time to treat him as a prisoner and for him to try every possible way to escape?"
Ulrich was speechless, but then he heard Theo look up and say, "Here I am."
He was slightly stunned, and suddenly turned his head to look, only to see Qinglong walking leisurely from another direction.
"You..." Ulrich wanted to say something, but couldn't.
"Go back." Li Ming called out. Ulrich followed hesitantly, looking at Theo who was indifferent, he felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity.
"Sir, should you also explain to us why this attack took place?" Ulrich kept asking about this along the way, his expression grim.
"This attack has caused me heavy losses. So many spaceships have been destroyed. Those plunderers will not let this go."
"You won't give up?" Li Ming paused, looking back in confusion: "Are you afraid of them?"
Ulrich paused and said angrily, "This time it's just one A-level life form. What if ten A-level life forms suddenly appear next time?"
"You really should explain." Theo agreed. This guy was obviously doing something secretly.
Li Ming glanced at Theo and frowned, "I have a student named Li Ming. You should all know that he has a friend who is a high-ranking official in the Itlan civilization."
"I contacted him unexpectedly some time ago, but he figured out it wasn't me, but someone was using him, so I took advantage of their tactics and that's how I ambush him."
"Is it that simple?" Ulrich hesitated, his suspicion deep in his eyes. "Asmara believed it so easily? And she fell into your trap."
"How did you believe me at that time?" Li Ming asked back.
Ulrich suddenly became withdrawn.
Li Ming? Theo's eyes moved. "So that's how it is. Your student seems to be attracting the attention of many parties and is no ordinary person. Is he also in the Land of Stars? When can I meet him?"
"Meet him?" Li Ming smiled. "There will be a chance."
Li Ming turned around and heard a voice: "Don't worry, there won't be a second attacker in the short term."
Back in the castle, Cassis came to report that the person had been placed in a prison on the third underground floor.
"Damn it, this guy keeps talking." Sandro complained, rubbing his hands together again. "When does the interrogation start? I can help."
"Don't worry, I'll go check the detailed information of this guy and find out his weaknesses." Li Ming smiled creepily and went back to the room.
Sandro glanced at Li Ming's disappearing back and whispered, "This Tiago has been shouting all the way, saying that Qinglong sold us out. What do you think?"
Theo said nothing and walked away. Ulrich sneered, "When you think, Brown laughs."
Sandro was furious. "Don't be so vague. You're smart. Why is it impossible?"
"Is the two pounds of meat on your body worth Asmara's concern?" Ulrich shook his head, too lazy to say more.
In the room, Li Ming sat cross-legged on the bed as usual, turned on the smart terminal, entered the black hole network, and purchased relevant information about Thiago.
As a Class A life form of an intermediate civilization, much of his information is confidential, so the price is also higher.
Li Ming threw in all his remaining balance before he got a more detailed information.
"Hmm... the development progress is only 21%..." His eyes flickered as he scanned the lines.
Finally, I went to StarNet again, applied for a small account, and submitted a copy of the information to each of the two accounts.
He also took the time to scan the star network. It was located in the land of stars, its location was unknown, and it was connected to the large network of silver star clusters.
The news is all-encompassing, covering more than a dozen civilizations, large and small, in the Silver Cluster.
Anything that becomes popular is a big deal.
"A large-scale navigation accident occurred on the Viphis Channel, causing accidents to over 5,000 interstellar citizens. It is suspected that this was caused by signal interference from the United Fleet..."
"The combined fleet has destroyed several forces designated as terrorist organizations, but reports indicate that over 100,000 innocent people have been killed or injured..."
"A-level life forms are suspected to be fighting in the Land of Stars..."
"Huh?" Li Ming was slightly stunned. He actually saw news related to himself.
He clicked in to watch with great interest. It was an extremely blurry battle video, and even the two sides fighting were not clear.
This is not because the smart terminal used for shooting is too backward, but because the interference force field on Star King Monroe interferes with all field of view shooting.
"Fuck, that's so fierce! I've never seen a battle between A-level life forms before..."
"The Land of the Stars is full of wicked criminals. Why doesn't the Combined Fleet go and strangle them?"
The discussion was quite heated, with all kinds of opinions expressed. In some civilizations, Class A life forms were considered "gods" and were revered.
"One of them is the Great Mechanic Qinglong, and his students are from our civilization..."
Li Ming glanced at a comment. The IP address belonged to the "Blue Star" civilization and seemed to know a lot. Someone even replied to him and asked for specific details.
After browsing for a while, Li Ming lost interest. There were mostly entertainment news, such as interstellar stars, and too much junk information.
He didn't know what news he was waiting for, so he simply put the smart terminal aside and started developing genetic seeds.
The elemental power surged, and after only a moment, he opened his eyes. A flash of red lightning flashed by, and he sighed, "This development speed is really not what I'm used to."
Too slow, too slow...
Compared with the rapid progress in the C-level life form stage, the current development speed has slowed down too obviously.
The decline is even more serious than when he just became a C-level life form. Let alone 1% progress a day, it is probably difficult to advance 1% in ten days.
"If it declines after reaching 30%, it will probably be even slower." Li Ming shook his head. At this rate, it would take him at least three years to develop to 100%.
This is already fast enough for other life forms. Duke Bai Ye, Atom and others, who among them has not stayed at the B-level life form stage for more than ten years or even decades?
But for him, it wasn't fast enough.
"No wonder Tiago has been an A-level life form for thirty-two years, but his development progress is only 20%. The decline in development speed is even more serious than I imagined."
Li Ming murmured in a low voice, but his desire to increase the development speed was much simpler than that of others.
I opened the control page and took a look. The six theories of evolution were arranged in order, all of which were B-level. Although they could still be strengthened, they were not enough.
"I have two complete copies of the Theory of Evolution, the Emperor of Flame and the Holy Blade of Judgment. When I was controlling them before, I separated out the B-level parts. Now I just need to complete them directly."
Due to the characteristics of [Gene Warrior], he does not need to consider the attributes of evolution and can directly enjoy the blessing of ability.
But the control effect does not work, so he does not plan to upgrade it because the cost-effectiveness is too low.
