Chapter 412 Sheffield's Speculation Upgrade [Magnetic Crystal Heavy Domain]
"Its data is the best in every aspect, at least three times that of a regular S-grade gene seed." Monica explained to him, with a data chart next to it containing a series of complex data.
At the S-level, there are great changes. No longer can one only use the energy brought by the gene seed, the body can self-synthesize most of the basic energy, and even advanced energy.
For example...the Star-Swallowing Prison Dragon's energy synthesis and conversion efficiency is around 95%, while the regular one is only 30%, and the slightly more powerful one is only 60%.
"As for the various abilities, you still need to experience them yourself." Monica nodded and stepped back.
Sheffield's eyes fell on Li Ming, with an indescribable meaning in them. He spoke at the right time and said:
"There's one thing I need to explain in advance. Although the gene seed has been prepared, to save time, I've omitted some of the auxiliary stabilizing substances."
"If you're willing to wait a few more months, it should be even more perfect."
"Auxiliary stabilizing substance?" Li Ming looked up.
"Not bad." Sheffield nodded. "Because Lord Qinglong asked me to prepare it as soon as possible, this version came about."
Li Ming frowned slightly. He only had a slight understanding of the modulation of gene seeds, but was not very clear about the specific details, so he asked carefully.
Sheffield patiently explained, "A qualified gene seed must contain the 'main seed,' which is the gene seed itself. This is an abstract concept, used only as a proxy for the seed. It's actually a gene fragment that has been deconstructed to its limit."
"Fusion accelerator. When the gene seed enters the bloodstream of a living being, the accelerator will take effect, allowing the gene seed to fuse with the deep genes of the living being."
"At this time, the integration of stabilizing substances plays a vital role, especially at this level of life. The genes in the body are complex, and even the slightest carelessness can lead to distortion."
"The second thing is nutrients. The fusion process consumes a lot of nutrients. This is a leap in life level, and it is difficult for the fused life form alone to sustain it."
"Of these four basic composite substances, stabilizing substances and nutrients can be removed," Sheffield explained slowly. "However, during the fusion process, with the exception of certain specialized life forms, it's difficult for most organisms to efficiently synthesize the necessary nutrients on their own."
"Therefore, nutrients take priority over stable substances, because distortion is probabilistic, and if the organism itself is strong enough, it can also reduce the probability of distortion."
"Apart from the main seed, stabilizing substances are the most time-consuming and labor-intensive. They require perfect containment and balance while not damaging the effectiveness of the gene seed."
Li Ming nodded thoughtfully. Sheffield's explanation was quite detailed and easy to understand, and the other three basic substances were not missing.
This means that as long as he can curb the risk of genetic distortion, it doesn't matter whether there is stable substance or not.
That's perfect. With the added defense, the body's strength increases by hundreds of times, which is not much stronger than that stable substance.
"Defense enhancement can replace stabilizing substances, which will save a lot of time when preparing gene seeds next time."
Li Ming had an idea in mind and said, "There's no need to add any more stabilizing substances."
Sheffield was not surprised. This was only an S-level gene seed, and there were other ways to curb the risk of deformation.
"I would like to thank you on behalf of my teacher. Since the gene seed has been prepared, I will not bother you any more." Li Ming covered the gene seed, held it in his hand, and prepared to leave.
Sheffield’s performance just now gave Li Ming a bad feeling, and he wanted to leave more and more eagerly, also to avoid other variables.
"In such a hurry?" Sheffield's eyes flickered as he stood up in surprise. "Why don't you stay a few more days?"
"No, I have something else to do." Li Ming declined politely, and Sheffield gestured to Monica to see him off.
Li Ming tried to refuse, but couldn't resist and had to agree.
Watching the two people leave, Sheffield rubbed his fingertips, his eyes changing deeply.
About ten minutes later, the door was pushed open again, and Monica walked in and whispered, "Father, the person is gone."
Sheffield nodded and asked meaningfully, "What do you think of Li Ming?"
Monica pondered, "He's extremely purposeful and can endure boredom. He's been developing gene seeds all this time, without interruption."
"Would you be willing to marry him?"
Sheffield's deep voice startled Monica. She frowned, as if lost in thought, nodded hesitantly, then shook her head.
"What do you mean?" This time it was Sheffield's turn who didn't quite understand.
Monica raised her head slightly, a little stubbornly, "He is indeed an excellent marriage partner, but Father, I also told you that I will not be inferior to anyone."
"His development potential is level 60, but mine isn't lower either."
"You may agree, but others may not." Sheffield laughed, but then sighed, "With a divine craftsman protecting him, within a thousand years, he'll surely become a cosmic figure."
"Perhaps, it has the ability to evolve into an ultimate life form. In our era of civilization, no ultimate life form has yet been born."
Monica frowned slightly. "The lack of Ultimate Life Forms isn't due to a lack of development potential. As long as an Ultimate Star Beast appears, someone will definitely be able to evolve immediately."
"Li Ming..." She was a little puzzled, always feeling that her father seemed to value Li Ming too much.
Sheffield didn't argue too much with his daughter. He smiled slightly and said, "Guess, is this S-level gene seed what Li Ming needs, or what his teacher needs?"
Monica pondered, "Rumors outside say that Azure Dragon's development potential is horribly low, and it has always resisted mechanical transformation."
"Although it's not entirely believable, it's probably not groundless. I estimate that Azure Dragon's life force level shouldn't be higher than S-level. There's a certain probability that it's A-level."
"Li Ming has amazing potential, but he has only been an A-level life form for a short time..." She pondered, then shook her head, feeling somewhat confused.
"No, if both of them need it, there's no need to give us a Star Devouring Hell Dragon gene seed for free. The worst that can happen is that we have to pay a higher price."
Looking at his daughter's methodical analysis, Sheffield nodded with satisfaction and said leisurely, "Guess how far Li Ming has progressed in his development?"
"Based on his development potential, the theoretical estimate is around 10% to 15%. Seeing how hard he works, it can only be 15% at most," Monica estimated.
"Not less than 60%." Sheffield's meaning was unclear.
"60%?" Monica stood there in a daze, a look of shock on her pretty face. She couldn't help but ask, "It's still the lowest. How...how is this possible?"
"Yeah, how is that possible?" Sheffield said. "His information state converged perfectly, but I still detected some life characteristics."
"His A-rank gene-seed is Purple Blood and Jade Mane. I smell the rich scent of wild blood. Only when the development progress exceeds 60% can the special ability awaken - 'Jade Mane and Wild Blood', which temporarily stimulates the body's potential."
"Also, his brain is extremely active, and it seems he has developed psychic powers."
"This...he..." Monica was still surprised. "Could it be that his development potential is actually higher? More than level 60."
"I don't know either. I'm also very curious." Sheffield's pupils suddenly turned green, and a cold aura filled the air.
Monica's head felt a little dizzy, and she quickly said, "Father, there's also His Excellency Qinglong."
"So, I didn't do anything." Sheffield returned to normal and glanced at her lightly.
Monica let out a breath, then suddenly thought of a guess. Her face changed slightly, and she blurted out, "Could it be that he's about to develop it to 100%, so he's so eager to take the gene seed?"
"100%...unlikely." Sheffield shook his head. "He's so anxious because he's probably afraid I'll know the origin of the Star-Devouring Hell Dragon."
"Then..." Monica hesitated. "If you're so forthcoming, why don't you wait until you've determined the Star-Devouring Hell Dragon's origins and weigh the pros and cons before making any plans?"
Sheffield smiled. "It's just an S-grade gene seed. It won't change anything. An X-grade gene seed would be about the same."
"The origin of the Star-Devouring Hell Dragon is just a bit of a problem for me. Besides, why would it stop selling something halfway through? Let's wait and see. I predict a big drama will unfold soon."
Monica nodded a little bewilderedly.
………
"I always feel that Sheffield has bad intentions."
Standing in front of the porthole, Li Ming's mind flashed with the pair of green pupils, which seemed to see through him almost, filled with greed and desire.
He silently clenched his fists and was extremely alert.
The Flowing Shadow was sinking into the star gate, and its pupils reflected the constantly swirling spatial energy, which was almost boundless and extended to the end of its vision, but was restrained by a special force.
The warship was almost relatively still. Li Ming looked at the scenery outside which had not changed at all, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sheffield didn't attack him, and he was really afraid that at the last moment, Sheffield would suddenly appear and not let him leave.
It seems that the other party is still concerned about Qinglong.
"Where are we going next? Back to the Mechanical Royal Court?" Robin and Ford were unaware of his presence and were just curious about the next destination.
"Don't go back for now, just hang around first." Li Ming said simply, and without paying attention to the strange looks from Robin and Ford, he went straight back to the room.
The Mechanical Royal Court is a target. Although it belongs to Li Ming’s industry, it is nothing to the God Craftsman.
No one thought that destroying the Mechanical Royal Court would cause any substantial harm to Qinglong, but Ryan was a little crazy, so it was hard to say.
To be on the safe side, he did not plan to go back for the time being. He also notified Ulrich and others to leave the royal court temporarily.
"Next, I won't show up again unless I become an S-level life form." Li Ming activated the [Magnetic Crystal Heavy Domain] and directly pulled it down a thousand times.
But he didn't know whether he had adapted to it or what, but he always felt that the development rate had slowed down.
At this level, a thousand times the natural gravity had no effect on him, as he had discovered some time ago.
"There is one last piece of Terrax Stone. Let's use it." Li Ming pondered. Developing gene seeds is the top priority, and [Magnetic Crystal Heavy Domain] is a long-term investment.
There is no need to hesitate, just upgrade directly, consuming 100 million metal energies.
In front of Li Ming's eyes, the original crystal column-shaped magnetic crystal domain underwent drastic changes. The metal structure seemed to have self-awareness, constantly extending and stretching.
Each of the interlocking points flashed with dazzling light, becoming longer and longer, and forming an umbrella-like structure on the top.
[Magnetic Crystal Heavy Domain--S Level: Specially designed gravity field blockade training equipment.
Control Effect: [Super Energy Crystal Domain], [Development Stance]
Control Ability - Gravity Field Adjustment: Ability to create a gravity blockade area of 100 square meters within any area within sight, increasing normal gravity by up to 10,000 times.
[Super Energy Magnetic Crystal: Within the blocked area, the cost of all individual activities increases by 25%.]
[Development Stance: Within the gravity coverage area, development efficiency increases by 10%. Materialization also works, but cannot be stacked.]
Huh? The effect's purpose has changed?
Li Ming was very surprised. He originally used this thing to confine people, but later it became a "development room". He didn't expect that the ability derived from this upgrade would also move in this direction.
Although this [Development Stance] can only increase efficiency by 10%, it does not occupy the control bar.
"This increase in development efficiency, wouldn't it be an overall increase?" Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and he increased the gravity to nearly two thousand times, and then hurriedly tried it. The surface of his skin was filled with various colors.
Sure enough, he felt that the activity level of cells had increased to a higher level, and the effect was significant.
"It really works on the whole body." Li Ming was in a good mood. This was an unexpected surprise.
In this way, the time it takes to reach 100% development progress will be further shortened.
"However, the Terrax Stone has also been completely consumed. Although the main combat system has been upgraded, other things cannot be neglected. I have been busy with evolution recently and have no energy to pay attention to the Terrax Stone..."
Li Ming was helpless. He had limited energy. If he focused on this matter, he would inevitably neglect another one. He could only pick the important one first.
………
The Mechanical Royal Court has become increasingly prosperous in the past six months, with transport spacecraft coming and going constantly, and the coverage area has expanded a lot.
After focusing on the business of Chaos Star Gap, even after the period of rapid growth, the Mechanical Royal Court is still expanding slowly and steadily.
"Sir, this is a ban from the Kaila civilization. They have seized a batch of our goods and ordered us to pay a fine within a limited time..."
Ulrich frowned as he took the smart terminal from his assistant. On it was a red document:
"Kaila civilization? Haven't we already retracted our tentacles outside?"
The assistant was a Barron, with dark skin, three vertical eyes, and a traditional manner, but he was extremely efficient.
"This is the order we took on half a year ago. This is the last batch of goods. The original shipping channel was closed due to the space storm. This time, they seized the goods while passing through Kaila."
