Chapter 403: The Caution of the Brain Master Pioneer
Yeyue Biological Company is the largest gene seed modulation company in the Chaos Star Gap and also the most reputable.
Grade A gene seeds are now banned from sale in all major civilizations.
Countless people have been customized here at Yeyue Biological Company, and most of them are wanted by major civilizations.
Over the years, there have been virtually no scandals involving leaks of customer data.
However, that is for the bottom layer.
The Star-Devouring Prison Dragon is too special, and the amount of information behind it is too great, so Sheffield has to be cautious.
"Company rules don't allow it, but I make the rules." Sheffield shook his head.
His face looked unhappy, and he kept thinking in his mind that he was in trouble the moment he saw the snake.
Ever since the Star-Devouring Dark Dragon was raised by the empire, no variant of this creature has appeared again.
He didn't know how Qinglong got it, but it must be something that could not be made public, and it might even cause big trouble.
Reject...?
"If it were any other star beast, it would be fine, but this thing is really..." Sheffield sighed, "I'm just a businessman."
Li Ming looked at him quietly. After a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "That's right. I was forcing you."
"Huh?" Sheffield's heart skipped a beat.
"Then I can only seek help from someone else. I just hope that you won't leak this matter out." Li Ming said with a smile.
Sheffield smiled and nodded. "Of course. Even if the deal doesn't work out, there's still friendship. I value my reputation very much, and I don't want to be considered an enemy by Lord Qinglong in the future."
The two ended their communication, and Li Ming looked at the dark screen, waiting quietly.
After a long time, a red dot suddenly lit up in the background of the Black Hole Network. "Give me the whole body, plus 50 billion for labor, and I will prepare it for you."
"Ha." Li Ming grinned and typed a message, "I'll give you my entire body in exchange for a gene seed. No strings attached."
After a moment of silence, the communication request lighted up again. Sheffield looked calm, not feeling embarrassed at all, and shook his head.
"Your Excellency should understand that the price I ask for includes a 'risk fee'. I can't guarantee that someone won't come after me for this snake in the future."
"Furthermore, the materials required to produce this level of gene seed are extremely large and expensive, and we also have to consider the cost of conducting preliminary experiments."
"So, I'll give you the body in exchange for a gene seed." Li Ming said calmly, "Ordinary biological experiment companies that want to produce gene seeds do need the raw material integrity to be above 65%."
"However, Yeyue Experimental Company has been constantly adjusting their processes. According to the latest intelligence, you only need 45% completeness to produce one gene seed. In other words, this corpse can produce two gene seeds."
He didn't come to Sheffield on a whim. Ever since he learned of the existence of the Star-Devouring Prison Dragon, he had been searching for relevant information.
Everyone knows that this is a very troublesome thing, and if you don't do an investigation, you will be ripped off.
Sheffield's eyelids twitched. Qinglong's intelligence was out of date. In fact, they only needed 42% completeness.
This thing is troublesome, but it is also truly precious.
He was even certain that the Empire did not even have this variant, which was comparable to an S-class star beast with 100% development progress. The genetic seed concocted from it could be said to be unique in the interstellar space.
He believed that many X-level life forms, and even the three major civilizations, were willing to pay several times the high price to expand the width of the evolutionary path for the high-potential life forms they favored.
This was also the reason why he pretended to play games with Qinglong, but Qinglong seemed to have been keeping an eye on him for a long time and had investigated him thoroughly, leaving him no room for error.
"You are not an ordinary life form. If someone really comes to you because of this snake, it will not be a big deal for you." Li Ming continued.
Sheffield was helpless. Qinglong was right. He wouldn't lose anything no matter what he did.
Even if the truth is revealed, he is at least an X-level life form, with considerable power under his command and connections spread everywhere.
It is impossible for the Empire to do anything to him just because he modifies gene seeds for others.
Even to say that this is not the first time he has done something like this, it is more stressful than preparing X-level gene seeds for certain people.
Since he was seen through, he pondered for a moment and felt that the little benefit he was fighting for might not be as good as Qinglong's friendship.
After thinking this through, he nodded and said, "Since Your Excellency Qinglong is so frank, it would seem petty for me to argue any further. So let's put it this way."
"When do you want it?" he asked.
"The sooner the better." Li Ming spit out four words, "I will send it to you as soon as possible."
"Hmm..." Sheffield frowned. "We're a top user of Giant Shield, using them to ship large quantities of gene seeds every year. Three months ago, they developed a new project, short-distance teleportation. They've opened up short-distance nodes in many locations to fill the gap between stargates and shipping coordinates."
"You can save a lot of time by sending it this way."
Li Ming's eyes moved slightly. He really didn't know this way of sending.
"I'll share an advanced delivery contract with you. See if there are any short-distance transmission nodes nearby." Sheffield was very proactive and sent over a black hole applet.
Li Ming clicked on it and selected the short-distance delivery service, which was followed by a “trial” reminder.
There are only more than a hundred giant shield nodes in the entire Corona Borealis ring that support this delivery method. One of them is in the Itlan civilization, not far from the Southern Wind Galaxy.
"The extremely high quality of this thing may interfere with the transmission, and you need to solve it." Sheffield reminded.
"Yeah." Li Ming nodded. "If we save this part of time, how long will it take to prepare it?"
"If I do it myself, it will take at most three months." Sheffield thought.
So fast? Li Ming was surprised. He thought it would take more than half a year. Is Sheffield's technology so advanced?
This way, the pressure is greatly reduced.
He remained calm on the surface and nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, sir."
After ending the communication, he breathed a sigh of relief. There was an unexpected surprise on the Sheffield side, and the time required for delay was greatly shortened.
At present, his development progress has reached 70%, and he has extracted the genetic essence of Thor and Garrett.
The evolution system has reached perfection, all are S-level, and the overall blessing reaches 448 times.
Combined with his own level 22 fundamental development potential, the remaining 30% of progress should be completed in four months, or at most five months.
If you can pass the peak-level lord trial, this time can be shortened even further.
However, if you want to pass the trial, you may have to rely on the infinite hammer.
Hmm...I just thought of something.
Li Ming frowned. Oh, right, block Ryan's information channels.
On Xavier's side, there was Asmara, and the young grand duke was obviously no match for the princess.
As for his men, that Thor is still dying. It should be no problem to torture him a little and use some tricks to make him deal with the news reports.
The least secure side is Levenbeck's.
Although the previous preparations have made him relax, we still have to find a way to divert his attention.
He might even become extremely curious about me or Qinglong, or even feel that it is profitable, so he can stay here temporarily.
And the Forerunners, without Levenback making the Bloodseed.
Their plan has failed. We must stabilize the situation and not let them do anything weird.
The truth will eventually come out.
But after the truth was revealed, we still had to investigate to determine who did it. Even if Ryan came to kill us, it would take time to get there.
The longer you delay, the later the subsequent events will happen.
"Let's start with the pioneers and lay the groundwork." Li Ming was organized and quickly set his sights on the goal.
…
In the Iron Throne Hall, in a small room, four shadows were communicating.
"I don't know what's wrong with Ryan, but this is a godsend," a shadowy figure was saying. "If this plan succeeds, the Starry Sea should be able to completely remove the Empire's influence, effectively severing the Senate's power by more than half."
"The royal family and the House of Commons will not miss this opportunity and will do everything they can to engulf the House of Lords. The unwilling House of Lords will inevitably resist. This is the real opportunity for division."
"Not bad." The navigator nodded.
The Blood-Fell emphasized, "But we must find out exactly what Ryan is planning to do. He's definitely not insane. If he can achieve his goal with a blood sacrifice, even if only one-fifth or even less is achieved, then it's not a godsend."
"This is where the trouble lies. We can't get involved with Ryan's side, and it will take time to investigate the Corona Borealis rings thoroughly." The navigator sighed.
"So far, we've only discovered something called a blood species, which seems to be the core."
"What about Qinglong? He should know more." another shadow asked.
"He doesn't want to talk. Maybe it's because I took away his right to speak last time, which made him feel dissatisfied." The navigator was helpless.
"It's okay, we can always find out. If he takes over the discussion, that would be troublesome." Another person said in a bad tone:
"The four of us have worked together for so many years, with only one goal, but this Azure Dragon... is too mysterious. It's not a good thing."
"He's been playing it safe. First, he got Blackbeard to invite him to join, then he forced us to let him join the council. Now he's trying to seize the right to speak. He's not here with good intentions."
"You are extremely strategic and have taken a step-by-step approach. We cannot refuse and cannot let it go on any longer. There is no problem with your choice."
The Bloodfaller shook his head and calmly explained, "It's not that simple. Azure Dragon won't give up easily. Ryan's actions are continuing. If we don't know more, we won't be able to decide how many planets he will sacrifice, or when to stop him."
"Time is our enemy. If we can't outrun it, we'll have no choice but to ask Qinglong for help. If I'm right, he'll soon continue to put pressure on us, forcing us to give him the right to speak."
The navigator pondered, "Pressure? In what form? Ryan is his enemy. If I let him do nothing, achieving Ryan's goal will do him no good."
"It depends on who has more patience." The Bleeding One said in a gloomy tone.
The shadow sitting opposite the navigator kept surging, and his voice was cold: "I don't believe that he can defeat the four of us alone?"
The navigator shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, his expression changed slightly. "How did he break through the Iron Throne's blockade?"
The Iron Throne can prohibit others from descending, and many small groups will activate this function when they have private conversations.
They were the only four who were not affected.
In the past, Azure Dragon had never taken the initiative to descend upon the Iron Blood Throne. This was the first time that it had directly broken through the blockade of the Iron Blood Throne.
This reminded them of the two words the Blood-Losing Man had just said: pressure!
In the narrow room, the atmosphere gradually grew quiet, and the Blood-Drowning One's voice rang out, "Those who come here are not kind."
"Then let's see how evil he is." The navigator rubbed his fingers.
…
Li Ming looked at the empty hall and summoned the Blood-Falling One and the Navigator as usual.
No one knows the identities of these two guys. It seems that they have plenty of time and will come soon as they are summoned.
"Everyone, something happened." Li Ming spoke first.
"What's wrong?" The navigator thought to himself, as expected, and asked cooperatively, guessing what Qinglong would do.
"I just got the latest news. Ryan seems to have realized something. The next action will probably be more secretive, and it will be more difficult for us to investigate." Li Ming paved the way for the subsequent peaceful Corona Borealis ring.
The calmness you discover next is not because the other person has stopped doing anything, but because they are hiding deeper.
"Even more difficult to check?" The navigator snorted inwardly.
What Qinglong means is that you can't find anything. If you want to implement the plan smoothly, you should ask me for help.
The Bleeding Man was very calm. He had expected Qinglong's behavior. If he wanted to seize the right to speak, he would have to launch a series of attacks.
I just didn't expect it to be this simple, or maybe it's not that simple.
If they really can't find anything, they may have no choice but to turn to Qinglong for help.
But does Ryan really have this ability? He remains skeptical.
"Let's put it this way. I'm going to mobilize more forces and conduct activities deep within the Corona Borealis ring." The navigator said solemnly, "I don't believe that a mere Ryan can shut us out."
He expressed his attitude to Qinglong.
Li Ming nodded in agreement, also solemnly saying, "I was thinking the same thing, but the situation may be more serious than we imagined. I hope you two will be prepared."
Be prepared to find nothing, be prepared to beg me for help.
The navigator understood Qinglong's subtext and felt a little dissatisfied, but he also felt eager to try.
Qinglong has been their ally since a long time ago. Apart from the incident in the central world, he has not yet fully understood Qinglong's methods.
Although it is not a head-on game at the moment, we can still see something. As a behind-the-scenes enthusiast, the navigator is a little excited at the moment.
The excitement of meeting a worthy opponent.
His voice was calm. "I am very confident about this, and I hope Your Excellency Qinglong is too."
"Me?" Li Ming was at a loss. This sentence seemed a bit strange.
Let me have faith in the pioneers?
He did not underestimate the pioneers, so he tried his best to lay the groundwork and delay the time for the pioneers to discover.
After thinking for a moment, he said calmly, "Of course I am very confident."
