Chapter 233 Upgrading the Mechanical Guard's A-level [Justice Gauntlets] Features [Armor Breaking True Damage]
"Everyone... I am the Apostle of Fireworks - Sanna. We are here to greet you on the orders of the leader." The other party spoke on the phone with a very polite attitude.
Theo had verified the other party's identity and there was no problem, so the two sides quickly reunited through the battleship bridge.
Sanna was a thin human with a smile on his face. He greeted them respectfully as soon as he came up, "Mr. Theo, Mr. Qinglong, Mr. Ulrich, Mr. Sandro..."
"Thank you all for coming all the way here."
"Jijiwaiwai, where is your nest? Don't waste time, take us there quickly." Sandro urged.
"Don't worry." Li Ming glanced at Sandro, "I still have some things to deal with. I need to wait here for a day or two."
"Mr. Sanna, this shouldn't cause any delay, right?"
"This..." Sanna looked a little embarrassed. "The order we received is to take everyone to the headquarters as soon as possible."
"It will only delay one or two days, don't worry, it's just that some transactions with the Black Hole Network have not been completed." Li Ming took the initiative to explain.
"The transaction with Black Hole Network..." Sanna thought.
Theo and the other two didn't react in particular, they just glanced at Li Ming.
Although the conflicts among the four are complicated, the situation is very different after they come into contact with the Torch Organization. After all, they are a small group and they will not lag behind in such trivial matters.
"This..." Sanna smiled bitterly, "Then let's wait a day or two."
These four people all have A-level combat strength, so it is impossible for him to take a tough attitude and force them.
However, Li Ming said it would take one or two days, but in the end he waited for five days.
By the end, Sanna was already unconscious. He urged Li Ming many times, but Li Ming's answer was "No hurry, no hurry".
The leader was also pressing for a while, and he tried to appease and explain to both sides, feeling terrified.
"It's finally here." On the deck, Sana looked at the black spaceship that was gradually approaching, and even felt like tears welling up in his eyes.
"Sir Qinglong, you told me at the beginning that five days was nothing. The leader almost thought I was going to rebel." Sanna said helplessly.
After these few days of contact, Li Ming found that Sanna was different from most of the Torch Organization members he had met.
Those people have deep hatred and resentment due to their experiences, but Sanna is different, he has a sense of humor.
"The estimate they gave me before was just one or two days." Li Ming spread his hands.
The Black Hole Network's small spacecraft landed on the deck of the battleship, the hatch opened, and familiar Black Hole Network staff were dressed up.
"Hey everyone, why have you delayed for so long? My friend is very dissatisfied with you." Li Ming pointed at Sanna and said.
Sanna's heart tightened, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no..."
"We were delayed on the way because of the influence of the Red River Star Stream tide." The leader explained dully.
"Delayed arrival? No compensation?" Li Ming further asked.
The people from the Black Hole Network didn't react at all. Li Ming was speechless as he watched them carry down a black metal box.
"The things are inside. Do you want to check it?" The other party took out a tablet-type smart terminal and asked Li Ming to sign.
"No need, I trust you." Li Ming smiled. After signing, the other party left neatly.
Li Ming picked up the heavy black metal box and said to Sanna, "We can go now."
Sanna finally breathed a sigh of relief, but fearing another accident, he hurried back to the command room to inform all the ships.
Sandro looked at the black metal box curiously and asked suspiciously, "What did you buy? It's not metal or something, is it?"
"You have cheap metal materials around you, why buy them on the Black Hole Network?"
Theo stared at the box, and so did Ulrich.
Li Ming was too lazy to explain and returned to his room carrying the metal box.
He closed the door and opened it impatiently. The metal box was quite heavy, and the base was an anti-gravity device. The "Norim Nuclear Gold" he bought was placed inside.
It doesn't look big, but such a small amount is worth nearly 5 billion star coins on the Black Hole Network.
The remaining 900 million star coins from the spoils, plus Tiago's ransom, totaled 5.6 billion. Minus the nearly 600 million in shipping costs, the rest was almost all here.
According to the information released to him, this thing was said to have come from the Itlan Advanced Combat Laboratory and was the core material for some cutting-edge weapons.
I glanced at the gravity coefficient on the base - 0.01, ten times gravity adjustment?
Li Ming was surprised that the 10% transportation fee was not wasted. The anti-gravity device alone was worth a lot of money.
Tried to touch it--
[Z-3 Small Anti-Gravity Device - Class B: It is the essence that is concentrated. The technical content contained in it is difficult for ordinary civilizations to manufacture.
Control conditions: 600,000 metal energy
Control effect: Strength blessing-- 300%
Control Ability - Gravity Field: Expand a gravity field with a range of ten meters, and can adjust the gravity up and down ten times.
B-level item, he thought again, he really needed this thing.
Although bombardment is fun, you have to make sure the enemy doesn't run around freely.
He has discovered this problem in several battles, and there is no similar means for the time being. This thing is quite effective and can be used to some extent.
"It's a pleasant surprise." Li Ming muttered, but did not release the gravity device. He put his hand on the metal block and began to extract the metal energy, while paying close attention to the control page.
At the very beginning, the huge amount of metal energy that surged in scared him, and the numbers on the control page jumped so quickly that they were almost invisible.
"Tsk..." Li Ming watched quietly, his mood getting better and better.
It was only such a small piece, and the absorption speed was very fast. In just about an hour, he had drained all the metal energy from it.
"Fifty-two million..." Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and the storage balance of metal energy reached a new high.
Originally there were more than 9 million left, but this time 43 million was withdrawn. According to the price comparison, it was a small loss.
However, saving time and energy, and about to enter the lair of the Torch Organization, he felt at ease after obtaining such a large amount of metal energy.
"Hmm...it's a good time to improve." Li Ming had been planning for many days. Without hesitation, two figures, one big and one small, walked out from both sides of his body. They were Guards Thunder and Tepper.
These two mechanical guards require 20 million metal energies for overall upgrade, and each is equivalent to a top-level A-level control object.
There hasn’t been enough accumulation before, so it has been put on hold.
But he did not forget that the benefits gained from upgrading the guards were considerable.
Li Ming estimated that its combat effectiveness after the improvement should be equivalent to that of a genetically evolved body with a development progress of more than 90% of Class B.
The burst energy level can exceed 100B. At the same time, these two mechanical guards can share 50% of his own blessing.
In other words, when [Thunder Frenzy] is activated, one of them can fight Sandro on equal terms, and two of them can pin Sandro down.
Not to mention the special ability [Guards Armament].
Thinking in his mind, Li Ming began to inject metal energy. The first to upgrade was Lei Ting, whose thin body was only 1.5 meters tall.
As the metal energy was injected, the golden arc spread and quickly covered the entire body. The mechanical structure and metal components in the body began to transform.
This time the movement was obviously bigger than last time. The golden arc formed psychedelic colors around it, and its appearance changed further.
This change is a fundamental change from the inside out. The underlying structure, logic code, alloy materials, and weapon devices have all undergone earth-shaking changes, which is truly magical.
The upgraded Thunder Guard has a brand new look, but its height has been further reduced to only 1.2 meters, and there is almost no obvious mechanical structure on the surface.
The whole body is covered with bright blue metal armor with complex patterns, which also serves as an energy conductor.
Next is the guard Tepper. After the upgrade, his height and size became even thicker. One of his metal arms is longer than Thunder's. The full metal armor makes him look like a wall, giving people a full sense of security.
Looking at the two mechanical guards, Li Ming nodded with satisfaction. After upgrading them both, there were still more than 30 million metal energies left.
"Well, I better use it."
Li Ming stared at the control page and thought for a long time. Finally, he decided to use the last bit of alienated energy.
After using it, there will still be 22 million metal energies left, which is enough to deal with emergencies.
As for where to use it, he did not hesitate too much. Naturally, he chose the [Justice Arm Armor], and chose to control the route and add the ultimate power data.
[Armguards of Justice--Level A: The fist of justice only falls on sinners!
…
Control ability: Characteristics--[Armor Breaking True Damage]
Control Effect - Justice Fighting: Increases strength by 2000% and grants the "Blazing Fire" ability.
[Armor Breaking True Damage: Gain 800% Strength and ignore 25% of the target's Defense.]
Li Ming's eyes lit up. After being upgraded to A-level, the effect was indeed very powerful, and the data blessing doubled.
The new feature [Armor Breaking True Damage] is extremely brutal, directly ignoring 25% of the target's defense.
This made his eyes fall on those main controls that had not been upgraded.
The [Tank Guard] that was previously upgraded to gain maximum combat power in a short period of time, and the [Silver-Gray Particles] that were upgraded to support the activities of the [Tank Guard], are not considered to be orthodox main combat attack controllers.
A powerful attack control item with a really good effect. There is also the [Super Magnetic Electric Explosion Shoes]. After upgrading, I wonder if the short-range burst speed can match Theo's.
Li Ming still vividly remembers the scene where the enemy suddenly attacked and killed Blerim.
However, he no longer has any alienated energy, so if he wants to upgrade other things, he still needs to plan.
"Huh..." After thinking for a while, Li Ming didn't know how long it would take to reach the headquarters of the Torch Organization. He originally wanted to develop genetic seeds, but after glancing at the porthole, he couldn't help but let out a light "Huh".
He flashed in front of the porthole, and the scene outside was not the interstellar streamer he was used to seeing during previous jumps.
Instead, it was a milky white color. Looking closely, it looked like the inner tissue and skin of some creature, with the wrinkles clearly visible.
"This is..." Li Ming was surprised and no longer had the intention to develop gene seeds. He walked out the door and went straight to the upper command room.
Theo and the other two were all here. Sandro looked even more puzzled. Seeing Li Ming coming, he couldn't help but ask, "Qinglong, do you know what just happened?"
Before Li Ming could say anything, Sandro couldn't wait to say, "This guy just jumped for a while, then opened his bloody mouth and swallowed us all in. We are actually in the stomach of some creature."
"It's not some kind of creature, it's a space worm - Boricut." Sanna's cheek twitched as he emphasized.
Space worm? Li Ming's heart skipped a beat; he had actually heard of this name before.
When on Blue Star, the Torch Organization seemed to have used this dimensional creature to send several Firework Apostles across space.
"Never mind what kind of creature it is, this is too weird." Sandro muttered, obviously he had no experience with dimensional creatures.
Ulrich and Theo, on the other hand, looked relatively normal.
"Sir Qinglong, are you here?" Sanna looked over.
"Let me ask how long it will take?" Li Ming looked calm.
"Three days at most, please rest assured." Sanna smiled.
As they left, Sandro was still a bit stunned. Ulrich said, "No wonder the Torch Organization's headquarters is so mysterious. Space worms can cross several galaxies in a short period of time. In three days, there's no telling where we'll end up."
"The Torch Organization is quite proficient in the use of dimensional creatures. This is quite surprising to me." Li Ming took the initiative to say in a surprised way, arousing Ulrich's desire to explain.
"Can there be things in small places that can surprise you?"
"There are many things that surprised me." Li Ming said calmly: "I have occasionally come into contact with the life forms and tissues of dimensional creatures. I have seen many of them, but not many of them are used as skillfully as they are."
"Indeed." Ulrich nodded, his expression rather solemn. "Contacting dimensional creatures and exploring deep dimensional worlds are generally reserved for cluster-level and empire-level civilizations."
"A star cluster-level civilization?" Sandro looked over. "Where did this star cluster-level civilization come from?"
Ulrich explained, "A civilization whose territory spans several star clusters but doesn't reach the empire level is called a star cluster civilization."
"Why haven't I heard of this?" Sandro was puzzled. "The Interstellar Alliance hasn't divided it, has it?"
Ulrich scoffed. "This is how an imperial civilization maintains its hegemony. It gives the impression that the two sides are only one step apart, but in reality, the gap between advanced civilizations and imperial civilizations is astonishingly large."
"It's impossible for a star cluster-level civilization to be born near an empire-level civilization." Theo said, "We are near the Xingyuan Empire, so of course you haven't heard of it."
"No, you've actually heard of it." Ulrich added: "The Ascender civilization is actually a star cluster-level civilization."
"Huh? Were they destroyed by the Xingyuan Empire?" Sandro was surprised.
Li Mingze pondered to himself that the expansion of civilization is an instinct, just like the evolution of genes.
When it reaches a certain point, it can no longer be stopped by a certain person or a certain will.
An imperial civilization naturally cannot sit idly by and watch this kind of civilization grow slowly, and must definitely strangle it in the cradle.
Being near an imperial civilization is also a kind of sadness. You will be unconsciously influenced and tend to move closer to it in all aspects, but you cannot be too powerful.
"I don't know." Ulrich didn't give an accurate response, and Theo had no desire to discuss these things, so he brought up another matter:
"As far as I know, the Torch Organization came into contact with an extremely powerful dimensional creature from the deep dimensional world some time ago."
Li Ming's eyelids twitched, and Ulrich added solemnly: "Yes, the Torch Organization calls it the Dimensional Deity, or the God of Dimensions, or the Lord of Dimensions..."
No, where did the last two titles come from?
Li Ming was puzzled.
