Chapter 317 Development Progress 100% Finally Approaching Chaos Star Gap
"But Qinglong is still in the dark. To dare to behead him, he must be at least an S-level life form. If you come here rashly, are you not afraid of being trapped and killed?" Blackbeard asked back.
The Beast Lord fell silent. This Azure Dragon was indeed cautious. No one dared to assume how many goodies a star-casting-level mechanic had in his hands.
"Li Ming's affairs are too far away, so let's not worry about them for now. Taking all factors into consideration, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let Qinglong join." Ulysses asked,
"But, have you investigated his background thoroughly? How could a Forge-level mechanic have no clues?"
Someone responded: "That's the problem. He really has no clue. It's like he popped out of a rock."
After a brief silence, Ulysses said, "Until his origins are clarified, don't let him access the core secrets for the time being, but provide the necessary help."
There was another round of discussion among the crowd, and in the end most people agreed.
"Also, under our guidance, the House of Commons' dimensional exploration work has discovered the secret fortress of the Terrax civilization in the deep dimensional world and learned about the "Star of Eternal Silence."
"Next, we will continue to induce them and push them into the quagmire of dimensional war."
"However, the Xingyuan Empire has already discovered something. During the last Royal Council meeting, several members submitted applications to investigate us. I suspect they have already secretly formed an investigation team."
“…”
There is a constant flow of voices here, exchanging all kinds of top-secret information and intelligence.
………
The huge, bright blue hexagonal star gate was right in front of us, swallowing up a huge number of spaceships.
The Tarnberis Stargate Hub is a transit-type stargate hub built by the Interstellar Alliance. It does not belong to any civilization and aims to provide equal services to all life forms.
Due to the systems, laws, and customs of some civilizations, many star gates are not open to the public.
The Interstellar Alliance started related work a long time ago, and many large interstellar consortiums provided support. In many places, transit star gates were planned and built.
Due to its uniqueness, over time, a very prosperous temporary hub was formed nearby.
"Please follow the instructions, line up in order, and undergo identity verification. If there are any wanted criminals, please leave as soon as possible..."
The small spacecraft that Li Ming and others were riding on was connected to the hub orbit and had been taken over by the artificial intelligence of the Stargate Hub. Their identity information was uploaded and only after verification was they allowed to enter and dock at Starport No. 1564.
"Everyone...see you at Chaos Star Gap." Li Ming stood at the cabin door, looked at Monroe and others, smiled, and jumped down.
The Coyle was too big a target, so they changed the spacecraft they were riding halfway through the journey. At the same time, with the help of Dark Night's advanced privileges in the Black Hole Network, they forged relevant identities.
Everyone watched Qinglong's back merge into the crowd and eventually disappear among the various strange life forms.
"Qinglong is very smart. He can do things better if he hides in the dark." An Ye couldn't help but sigh. Qinglong itself is only a Class B life form, and its physiological reaction speed is too slow.
Faced with some sudden attacks, there is no chance to put on the mecha.
But the threat hidden in the dark has greatly increased. Li Ming is the representative and Qinglong is secretly protecting him, which makes people very worried.
"Actually, we can just do the mechanical transformation directly." Jessia couldn't help but say.
Monroe shook his head: "Not everyone can accept mechanical transformation."
"But Lord Qinglong's development potential..." Jessia couldn't help but mutter. Everyone had different expressions. They estimated that Qinglong was no less than 500 years old and might have used a life-extending potion.
But the life level is only B level...
"Here they come." Ulrich said suddenly, and as everyone's attention focused, a figure squeezed out of the crowd and jumped onto their spaceship.
"Greetings, everyone." Li Ming greeted with a smile, "I'm Li Ming."
Everyone looked at him with surprise. It was their first close contact, so they were quite curious. Then they responded to his greeting and introduced themselves.
Even the most brainless Sandro did not put on airs in front of Li Ming. The development potential of level 46 sounds scary, but he is only level 15.
"Then I'll go to my room first. If you need anything, just call me directly." After a brief greeting, Li Ming went to Qinglong's room.
"It's quite interesting..." Li Ming muttered to himself.
Watching Li Ming leave, Monroe and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Sandro muttered, "I don't know why, but I always have the illusion that he looks like Qinglong."
"He usually steps with his right foot first when walking, with an average stride length of 0.75 meters. He habitually taps his thigh with his right hand, and his breathing rate is between four and five seconds..." Monroe spewed out a series of data.
"The similarity you feel is in temperament. He seems to be deliberately imitating Qinglong in his speech and behavior."
"Ha..." Sandro laughed, "If I had a Casting Star mechanic as my teacher, I would imitate him."
Everyone was too lazy to pay attention to him and didn't take him seriously. They all went about their business. DarkStar connected to the Stargate Hub's jump system, selected the target location, paid the toll, and then applied a spatial marker coating, preparing to enter the Stargate.
This is an advanced star gate. It is not connected to one star gate in a point-to-point manner, but is connected to more than 30 star gates. It is necessary to use a space marker coating to anchor the gate you need to go to.
They jumped through twenty-six star gates in a row before reaching the Chaos Star Gap. Including the travel time, it took them nearly a month.
"call…"
That day, in the room, Li Ming breathed steadily, red arcs of electricity jumped on the surface of his skin, and within the range of gravity, there was not even a speck of dust in the air.
Suddenly, accompanied by a violent surge of red electric arcs, the surface of his skin suddenly became translucent, and the capillaries underneath could be clearly seen. At the same time, the blood vessels bulged and moved under the skin like little snakes.
Snap!
With a faint explosion sound, Li Ming's body began to gradually decompose into red ions, which stirred up a storm on the spot, gradually gathered together, and finally turned into a ferocious beast.
It collapsed again in an instant, and the ions gathered and finally returned to a human body. The red arc dissipated, and Li Ming slowly exhaled.
Feeling the familiar feeling of fullness in his body, it meant that his gene seed had been developed to 100%.
After trying out various detection equipment, the conventional energy level was close to 2A, which was no less than some A-level life forms that had just fused with A-level gene seeds.
"I wonder what level I will reach after fusing the A-level gene seed." Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his body, and clenched his fists.
He gathered his things, put on some clothes, and left the room.
Passing by and glancing out of the porthole, they saw that the outside world was filled with a bright blue channel and violent space energy all around. They were still in the star gate orbit.
Inside the cabin, several A-level life forms were playing cards out of boredom. It was the simplest card game in the interstellar world, and each of them had an electromagnetic revolver at hand.
"Bigger than you." Ulrich opened it with an indifferent expression. Sandro glared at him, picked up the revolver and pointed it at his temple while cursing.
Bang!
A shot was fired, a flash of fire appeared, and the electromagnetic bullet hit Sandro's temple. It kept spinning and was squeezed into a piece of iron, and finally fell to the ground powerlessly.
"Fuck, why am I so unlucky?" Sandro cursed again and hesitantly opened the smart terminal, as if to transfer money.
Seeing Li Ming coming, he greeted him enthusiastically, "Want to play?"
"Forget it..." Li Ming twitched the corner of his mouth. This group of people was really boring.
"Hmm?" Ulrich glanced over, feeling inexplicably strange.
He is a psychic with relatively developed mental power, so he can keenly feel that there is something different about Li Ming.
"How far have you come in terms of development progress?" Monroe suddenly asked.
"100%..." Li Ming said frankly.
"How much!?" Sandro almost jumped up in shock, "B-level 100%?"
Ulrich's eyes suddenly became deep, and the others also looked at him with complicated expressions.
How old is Li Mingcai?
Is this the terrifying thing about the forty-sixth level development potential?
An Ye was shocked and confused. Even if the development potential was at level 46, this was too fast.
He didn't dare to speculate too much. Perhaps after the development potential reached a certain level, there would be other special features.
Sandro swallowed, "So, all you need is an A-grade gene seed to become an A-grade lifeform?"
At this point, Theo's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "The gene seeds that Qinglong asked for are not for you, right?"
"Mr. Theo guessed right." Li Ming nodded. Li Ming's identity will be active for a long time and it is impossible to hide it from these people in front of him.
"It's actually for you." An Ye was surprised, and couldn't help asking, "What is your teacher's development potential? Hasn't it been developed to 100% of level B yet?"
Everyone couldn't help but look over, very curious.
"Ha..." Li Ming grinned. "I wouldn't dare to say. You can ask him in person if you have the chance in the future. But I have to remind you that the teacher is very sensitive about this matter."
Everyone looked at each other with a smile on their face. Although his development potential was extremely low, he was a star-casting mechanic and was very resistant to mechanical transformation. Qinglong was really a contrast.
Monroe shook his head silently. "You should try to persuade me too. Isn't mechanical transformation normal? There's no need to resist. There aren't many things that can increase the potential for fundamental development."
"I have advised him, but the teacher just doesn't want to." Li Ming answered vaguely.
An Ye's heart moved slightly. Could it be because of the ultimate path of evolution?
The strength of a mechanically modified body depends on materials and technology, and is destined to be unable to break through the upper limit of evolution.
Among the higher-level life forms in the universe, there is a consensus that only through genetic evolution and transformation of superpowers can one continue on the path of evolution.
But... is it worth it for Qinglong, a B-level life form, to worry about the ultimate evolution path? An Ye was speechless.
"By the way, how many days will it take to reach the Chaos Star Gap?" Li Ming asked.
"There are two more star gates, not far away, about four or five days." An Ye responded.
Li Ming nodded, found a corner at random, opened the Black Hole Network, and read the latest news.
"The advanced civilization of the Corona Borealis ring, the Centaurus cluster, and the Kansmart civilization recently passed a bill to aid the Itlan civilization. They will dispatch over 500 warships to intervene in the battlefield..."
"The Interstellar Alliance has issued a statement for the third time, demanding that the Etruscan and Inquisitor civilizations cease hostilities and engage in peace talks..."
Over the past month, the situation of the Corona Borealis ring has been extremely intense.
The video of Antonio's beheading was everywhere, so the Inquisitor Civilization was naturally extremely angry and demanded that the Itlan Civilization hand over Asmara.
The war between the two sides was ignited, and in the past month or so, there has been almost no sign of stopping, but instead it has intensified.
Several nearby civilizations were forced to take a stand, each supporting either the Itlan or the Judge civilization, and the support is still expanding.
After a quick glance, he opened the background again and saw Blackbeard sending him a message with the coordinates of the planet he had requested.
After copying the coordinates, he opened the purchase page. There were still 25 billion star coins waiting for him to spend.
Whether it is controlling the [Sublimation Source Crystal], repairing the [Material Recombination Fabricator], building a base, or producing mechanical soldiers, a large amount of metal energy is required.
These should be enough for his initial consumption. Li Ming's eyes flickered as he selected various metal materials, but he did not place an order in the end because they were too expensive.
A purchase of this scale, including shipping costs, would cost over 2 billion, which was too much of a loss. He planned to look for a channel in the chaotic star gap.
Five days passed in a flash, with the cabin shaking.
Standing in the starry sky, the huge hexagonal star gate spit them out, and then the conventional intelligent system took over.
"Hello, Gemini Floating Island welcomes you. Please don't be nervous. The intelligent system is taking over your spacecraft. Please line up in an orderly manner..."
Under the traction, their spaceships merged into the long dragon-like formation in an orderly manner. The starry sky was shining endlessly, and what appeared before everyone was a giant floating island.
It is generally diamond-shaped, like two inverted triangles spliced together, with peaks on the top and bottom, squeezed together by special gravity, and has towering steel buildings.
At the same time, it is surrounded by criss-crossing orbits and orbited by various warships and spaceships. Its grandeur is no less than that of a regular planet.
"Twin Floating Islands, one of the transit nodes in the Chaos Star Gap." An Ye gave a brief introduction and couldn't help but stretch his body. Coming back here seemed to make him feel like a fish in water.
"Go down. Night Moon Labs has a branch here. No one knows about their headquarters. I contacted the headquarters a few days ago. The stuff should have been delivered. I can leave after I get the gene seeds."
Li Ming naturally had no objection, and An Ye accessed the management system and reported a series of identification codes.
"Beep—Special customer, prepare to be towed to the dedicated channel."
The management system pulled the spacecraft out of the normal queue, and then it had green lights all the way and directly merged into the node port.
After parking the spaceship, when I came out, there were already life forms in black uniforms waiting for me, both men and women, who generally conformed to human aesthetics, with handsome men and beautiful women, tall and slender figures.
It was obviously determined long ago that the vast majority of their group were humanoid life forms.
"Welcome, distinguished guests..." The service staff spoke in unison.
The other party took them to the special shuttle bus with ease. It was an extended and elevated model. It was not only extremely spacious, but also had various facilities such as a wine cabinet. The scenery outside the window passed by rapidly.
"You seem nervous?" Li Ming sat on the soft sofa, looking at the woman in front of him, his eyes narrowed, scanning the purple wine bottle in her hand.
The other person was bending over to pour wine, his black hair hanging down to his ears, revealing his plump and delicate chest, with a look of timidity and awe on his face.
