Chapter 405: Silver-Gray Changes Again
"It's my turn now. Has your development potential been improved?" Levenbeck asked.
"My development potential?" Li Ming looked suspicious, but he was certain in his heart that this guy really had intentions towards him.
Both questions are related to myself.
Li Ming speculated that it might be because of the level 60 development potential he had shown to the outside world that Levenbeck also became curious.
Perhaps it's not just curiosity. The other party's alchemical technology is suspected to have in-depth research on life forms. My high development potential may be exactly what he needs.
It is not difficult to guess that it can help him achieve certain goals.
Li Ming's heart sank slightly. If that was the case, Levenbeck would have gone from being an ambitious man who intended to stir up trouble in the interstellar space to his enemy.
This is not a good thing.
Although he was thinking in his heart, Li Ming did not show any clues on his face. He frowned and said impatiently: "Never."
"You are going to pass..."
Before he could finish his third question, Levenback interrupted him and said, "Okay, that's enough for today."
"Are you kidding me?" Li Ming's eyes were fierce. He grabbed Levenbeck and lifted him up. "Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
"I know you dare." Levenback showed no sign of nervousness. "Don't get so excited. Let me tell you something."
"Go back to Silver Ash Star and check the surface coordinates 124-745."
Li Ming's eyes became colder and colder. "My home planet, what have you done?"
Could this place be where the blood seed is kept? It would be so easy to get it, right?
He had originally planned to send mechanical soldiers to conduct a large-scale search to eliminate the threat of the Blood Seed.
"Go and have a look, you may have unexpected gains." Levenbeck said meaningfully.
Li Ming gasped and suddenly threw him against the wall, which made a dent with a bang.
Levenbaker fell to the floor and struggled to get up, covering his mouth and coughing twice. His back was burning with pain, but he didn't care.
Looking at Li Ming who turned and left, his eyes became more and more fiery, and he gradually took the bait. Maybe... I can get him without waiting for Ryan to succeed.
"He's tempting me..."
Boom, boom, boom.
Ascending the cabin stairs, Li Ming speculated, "If I were to go somewhere else, I would definitely be very cautious, and maybe even let Qinglong go with me, but returning to our home planet would be different."
"But it's just right. I need him to behave himself for the time being. He wants to carry out his plan, and he definitely won't let Ryan mess things up for now."
No matter what, by some unexpected means, the unstable factor of Levenbeck was stabilized.
In this way, Pioneer, Asmara, Levenbeck, and Thor have all set their plans.
In the short term, no one should notice that the whole thing has been put on hold.
Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know how long he could delay, but he would do his best and leave the rest to fate.
While he was making these arrangements, Liuying did not stop and headed straight for the shipping point within the territory of the Itlan civilization.
It took about ten days to reach our destination.
He dug out a [Gravity Stabilization Device] from the control space and upgraded it to level A, which could barely bear the extremely heavy corpse of the Star-Devouring Prison Dragon.
The shipping cost is as high as 150 million, and it passes through six forwarding points, but it will arrive in a maximum of ten hours.
The headquarters of Yeyue Biological Experiment Company also has a stargate node.
This is not a simple space teleportation, but more like a space wormhole that directly connects the two areas.
It has to be said that Judun Company, which specializes in the technology of "delivery", is indeed extraordinary.
However, it is not possible to send living things for the time being, and the cost of building a stable wormhole is extremely high, making it impossible to carry out delivery over extremely long distances.
It can only be used to make up for the short distance between the delivery point and the star gate.
"I wonder if the mechanical body I'm attached to can be transported in this way..."
After everything was settled, Li Ming returned to the Liuying, muttering to himself.
After leaving this port, he asked Suzaku to build the shortest route to the Silver-Ash Star, preparing to return to the home planet.
On the one hand, it was to stabilize Levenbeck, and it was also a good opportunity to go back and take a look. Now he just needed to wait for time to pass, and he actually had more time.
Not long after setting off, Ford came to see him.
"I have told Asmara that she has stopped all her actions. In the near future, she and Xavier will go to a secret base in the empire." Ford felt a little uneasy.
Simply pressing the issue is not a safe approach in any way; it seems like a way to delay time.
He hesitated and said, "Besides, the plan to amass wealth has been put on the agenda, and many advanced civilizations have already responded."
Li Ming nodded. Thor had reported to Ryan once in the past ten days.
He did not tell Thor that Asmara was one of his own, so Thor made an extremely detailed plan and even revealed the many spies planted around Asmara.
For now, everything is safe. After all, it hasn't been long and no clues have appeared.
At this moment, Suzaku said, "Master, based on our current position, we can reach Silver-Ash Star in as little as fifteen days at the speed of Liuying through the star gate of the Tomahawk Galaxy."
Li Ming nodded and asked Suzaku to proceed according to the navigation plan.
"Also, Asmara needs to make sure that Yitlan will not be involved in the end." Ford hesitated.
They completely couldn't understand what Li Ming was doing. They could delay it for now, but the truth would eventually be exposed. What would they do then?
He is the prince of the empire. Li Ming is not afraid, but they are very afraid.
"Don't worry, someone will take the blame for you." Li Ming made his attitude clear. Since Asmara was so cooperative, he naturally wouldn't throw it away after using it.
Thor, who is working hard, is the best candidate.
………
Silver-gray star, it is early winter, and the surface appears to be increasingly silvery white.
Today's Silver-Gray Star is very different. In the Blue Star's plan, there are four more immigrant cities.
At the same time, the entire planet was included in the environmental protection plan, and the mining qualifications that had been sold long ago were revoked. From then on, it was no longer a mineral planet.
Xunying Company, which holds the mining qualifications, not only had no objections, but also fully supported it and provided a large amount of funds for environmental restoration.
After more than half a year of construction, initial results have been achieved. There are many more trees and greenery around Silver Gray City.
“…”
Under the huge billboard, in the shadow of the night, several figures passed by, with panic and anxiety on their faces.
boom!
A huge explosion suddenly sounded, and flames gushed out in the narrow alley. Several figures were unable to dodge and were immediately caught in it, howling.
"Oh no, there's an ambush!" The leader's eyes were fierce. He completely ignored his companions who were covered in flames. He kicked the wall with his feet and turned around to run.
"Want to run!?"
An axe-kick dropped from the sky and struck him on the head. He spun backwards and fell to the ground, his mouth and eyes crooked. He cried out in horror, "Li Ning?"
"You bunch of greedy dogs, you still want to run away?" Li Ning snorted coldly, the firelight burning his profile, his expression solemn and resolute.
"Captain Li!" A large group of people rushed up from all directions, all of them were fully armed city guards.
"Take all these people back." He ordered. Figures were everywhere, each doing his job. The fire was quickly put out, and several wailing figures were taken to the prison van.
Li Ning glanced back at the silent alley, his eyes suddenly fixed, and he said calmly, "You guys go back first, I'll take a look myself."
"Yes." The city guards around acted quickly and disappeared here.
The night was dark, Li Ning was alone, his steps silent.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Crisp applause came from the front. Li Ning narrowed his eyes, touched his waist, and arched his back like a cheetah.
However, when he saw the man slowly emerging from the shadows, the sharpness in his eyes gradually turned into astonishment, then confusion, and finally into excitement.
"Li...Li...Ming!?" When the last word came out, the high-pitched voice had turned into a suppressed growl.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He raised his hand and fired a volley of bullets, which were shaped like discus and fell in front of his eyes with a clanging sound.
boom!
There were several more grenades, and even energy mines. The equipment of the Silver Ash City guards had been greatly improved.
The surging energy and flames condensed into a bullet in Li Ming's hand, which he casually threw into his mouth.
He seemed a little helpless: "Why are you all like this?"
"Ha...it's really you, kid." Li Ning rushed up, looking a bit like the chick he was before, and hit Li Ming's shoulder hard.
Bang!
His arms were numb from the shock, and while he was grinning, he suddenly remembered and hurriedly picked up the communicator, "Alarm clear, codename 022, nothing's wrong, you guys retreat first."
Obviously, letting his men go first was just a cover.
"That's amazing! He's become the captain." Li Ming exclaimed.
Li Ning shrugged, "It's all thanks to you. Captain Yang is now the boss of the City Guard, and everyone who previously served under him has become a captain."
"As for Old Diao, even at such an old age, Captain Yang still managed to give him an F-class gene seed and turned him into Diao Ke."
Li Ming listened and just chuckled.
Li Ning asked excitedly, "By the way, why did you come back so suddenly?"
After the words fell, he waved his hand again, "Forget it, forget it, the affairs of a big shot like you definitely have nothing to do with us. If you have time, let's find a place to drink?"
Li Ming grinned, "That's exactly what I meant."
………
Two hours later, in a street barbecue restaurant in Silver Gray City, Yang Peng, with a solemn and complicated expression, was sitting in front of him.
"You..." Yang Peng hesitated to speak. Li Ning beside him had already laid down, muttering something in his mouth. In his hand, he was holding a small mechanical body, only the size of a palm, humanoid, and looked like a toy.
It was a gift Li Ming gave to his unborn son, a B-class mechanical creation that could be used for both defense and defense.
"Uncle Yang doesn't drink?" Li Ming poured a glass of wine.
"I've quit." Yang Peng shook his head, having mixed feelings towards the boy in front of him.
There was definitely some relief, but also a lot of anger, but his current position still depended on the other party's influence, so he didn't have much confidence when speaking. But after all, he still asked, "How long has it been since you last contacted Yu'er?"
"He sent a message two days ago." Li Ming frowned and opened the Star Network certificate.
"You know what I'm asking..." Yang Peng snorted coldly, then sighed, feeling helpless.
Li Ming is growing so fast that everyone has to look up to him, and there are many things they can only do helplessly.
"Forget it." Yang Peng was angry. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Half an hour later, the man also fell down.
But when he was drunk, he talked more, mumbling and talking a lot.
Li Ming was speechless and called out two guards, one holding the other. He knew that he would not be able to go home after getting so drunk.
He forcibly cracked into Li Ning's smart terminal and sent a message to his wife, saying that he was working overtime.
"These two idiots, don't they even consider their weight? They're still competing with you in drinking."
More than twenty minutes later, Mr. Yang called Li Ming and left the two of them on the sofa.
The old man returned to the grocery store and did not stay in the house provided by the city guards for Yang Peng.
"I've been here for decades, and I feel anxious when I leave." Old Yang was leaning on a cane, his eyes always looking at Li Ming, smiling all the time. He seemed to be more hunched, and his hair was gray.
Li Ming couldn't help but ask, "Old Yang, are you really not going to accept the mechanical transformation? After the transformation, I can let you live for another one or two hundred years, which should be no problem."
"Enough, enough." Old Yang waved his hands repeatedly, very open-minded, "I have no regrets in my life. What's the point of living so long?"
"Besides, after the mechanical transformation, am I still myself? I've gotten used to my old arms and legs. I appreciate the kindness."
Mr. Yang is very stubborn and extremely resistant to mechanical transformation. This is a deeply rooted old-fashioned idea.
Although they often chatted on the interstellar network, it was rare for them to meet in person. Li Ming still accompanied Mr. Yang and chatted for a long time.
It was not until dawn that Mr. Yang seemed a little drowsy, and Li Ming helped him to sleep.
When you go out, there is Changhai Repair Shop next to you, and there are iron railings on both sides.
Li Changhai's machinery repair shop has now become a famous tourist attraction, with many people coming here every day.
With a flash of his figure, Li Ming arrived on the second floor and found the room was the same as before.
Li Ming's eyes were filled with regret. He lay on his bed, looking at the ceiling, as if he had returned to the time when he first came into this world.
Thinking about it now, it has a different flavor.
Two or three hours later, there were sounds outside the window. It turned out that Yang Peng and Li Ning came out shaking their heads, with ugly expressions and pale faces.
Yang Peng's face turned green, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of wine is that?"
"Good wine." Li Ming grinned. He opened the smart terminal and found a series of unread messages. His face became increasingly ugly and he left in a hurry.
Li Ning was fine. The first thing Su Xing did was to send a message to his wife, but he found out that he had already said it.
Although I couldn’t remember it at all, I didn’t care. I just reported it.
There were more and more people on the street. The two went back to the store to chat for a while, and Li Ning also left in a hurry. The people who were arrested yesterday still needed to be interrogated.
Li Ming watched him leave and glanced at the two mechanical bodies he had placed in the grocery store.
His face was gloomy and he suddenly disappeared here.
More than an hour later, deep in an abandoned mine somewhere on the Silver-Ash Star, a scarlet blood species was glowing faintly, surrounded by various mechanical bodies.
Ford and Robin moved aside, and Li Ming walked closer, observing the blood species carefully.
