Chapter 431: The announcement of ten people affects whether they are worthy or not?
The list can't be kept secret for too long, and there's no need for Qinglong to lie to him about this.
He was surprised. Why was Qinglong invited?
Did the Empire know his identity? Otherwise, they wouldn't have invited someone whose intelligence was completely unknown.
Reynolds was slightly stunned, and his heart was also very uneasy.
It is said that even Barbarole was not invited. This guy has embarked on the ultimate path and has been ready to fight recently, wanting to see who among the ten founding members can be considered stronger than him by the empire.
"You... aren't you a mechanic?" Mikhail couldn't help but ask.
Li Ming asked in return: "Can't a mechanic be a higher life form?"
"But..." The God of Creation was obviously out of control. The evolution system of the Mechanic was different from all other evolutionary routes.
How far does Qinglong have to go to be considered one of the ten strongest people in the empire?
Li Ming spoke again: "This qualification should be enough."
Mikhail felt complicated. Since Qinglong was one of the ten founders, he must be qualified to be recognized by the empire. Once the list was exposed, he would be elevated to an extremely high position.
"That's enough." He nodded, his attitude changing noticeably. "I estimate that the Empire should soon reach an agreement with other civilizations."
"Many civilizations have already begun targeting us. Once the Empire makes a big move, many will inevitably follow suit. However, this won't be accomplished in a short period of time. There are too many things involved."
"It's not realistic for the three of us to fight against the entire galaxy." Li Ming frowned.
Mikhail said helplessly: "I understand, but I have to shoulder it, otherwise the loss will be greater."
Reynolds sighed. "Ever since the forging hammer disappeared, the Machinists' Guild has been coveted, and it has finally come to this."
"The master hammersmith..." Li Ming was silent. This big guy was indeed very powerful.
Mikhail glanced at Qinglong and hesitated slightly. "I suspect that besides dismembering us, there is another thing they need - the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization."
"The ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization?" Li Ming paused. The word "Holy Spirit" sounded very familiar to him. "What is this place?"
"It is the ruins of a civilization located inside the Red River Star Stream. It comes from the Holy Spirit Civilization. It was once an extremely powerful mechanical civilization and was discovered by the Forge Hammer." Reynolds explained.
"Oh..." Li Ming nodded, "Is this how the Hammersmith made his fortune?"
"No..." Reynolds shook his head. "When Forging Hammer discovered the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization, he had already become a Divine Craftsman. Moreover, it was not a relic of civilization, and the things it contained were limited."
Mikhail added, "But those civilizations don't think so. The Holy Spirit Civilization has traces of itself, and it's almost contemporary with the Terrax Civilization. While not as powerful as the Terrax, the gap isn't too far off compared to several current civilizations."
"However, due to the special nature of the Red River Star Stream, it takes many years for the ruins to appear once. We have all been there before, bringing with us many valuable mechanics."
"What did you gain?" Li Ming couldn't help but be curious. Mikhail and Reynolds looked at each other before saying, "A lot."
"Although it is a ruined civilization, it is the capital of the Holy Spirit Civilization and many valuable items remain."
"So there's such a thing." Li Ming pondered. "The Mechanics Association plus this ruins, stuffed into the mouths of a few civilizations, is almost enough."
"Can you tell me the coordinates?" Li Ming glanced at the two of them.
"No problem." Since Mikhail said it, he was already prepared. This is also a part of the binding.
He transmitted a series of coordinates and warned, "That place is very special. It's located deep within the Red River Star Stream. Even the Forging Hammer won't be able to find it before a certain amount of time has passed. It's extremely dangerous."
It’s useless to know, you have to wait for time.
Li Ming glanced at the coordinates and couldn't help but sigh: "Another red star stream."
He was really curious about what was going on with the Red River Star Stream, but he couldn't possibly ask the two people in front of him.
The basic deal was reached, and Reynolds said hesitantly: "Qinglong, your hammer..."
"It looks like an infinite hammer, right?" Li Ming raised his hand, and the infinite hammer appeared.
"Similar, very similar." Reynolds' mechanical pupils emitted cross rays, scanning the surface.
"But it doesn't seem to be metal?" He soon found something wrong.
"Yes, it's a kind of energy fluid." Li Ming lied effortlessly, his tone melancholy. "Back then, I also saw the Hammersmith from afar and was impressed by his demeanor."
"As for the appearance, it's just my bad taste, I deliberately imitated the Infinite Hammer.
"Bad taste..." Mikhail had an indescribable urge. What kind of bad taste is this? Does anyone know how much brain cells it cost him?
Reynolds was speechless and sighed, which seemed to bring back his memories.
Seeing that the two were about to start nostalgic for the forging hammer, Mikhail quickly said, "It's settled. We don't have many Terrax Stones. We'll give you one each, and you'll get two. The loan will be distributed to you in five installments..."
The three agreed to exchange information. The Master Craftsman wanted to leave, but Reynolds seemed to want to stay. The exchange he had been longing for had not yet taken place.
Li Ming was naturally too lazy to waste time and said he had something to do. Reynolds could only leave reluctantly.
After seeing the two off and returning to the room, Tan Wei had disappeared.
He exhaled, various information intertwined in his mind, and finally came back to Adam.
It's only thanks to Adam that he can handle this kind of trick.
However, he has now roughly guessed that this news is of great significance and needs to be grasped well.
But then he thought again, he already has multiple roles. The Pioneers are already close to the core, the Mechanics Association has also become the core, and then there is the United Organization of Higher Life Forms. As one of the ten founding members, he must also be the core.
"Too much fame is never a burden...it's a good opportunity to carry the flag." Li Ming pondered.
The Mechanics Association is not a small organization. Although it seems loose, the internal interests are intertwined and complicated. It does not rely on the two master craftsmen Reynolds and Mikhail.
Instead, they are a large number of middle and lower-level mechanics interspersed among various interstellar civilizations.
The Hammersmith spent thousands of years turning mechanics into a path of evolution. Even if the three major civilizations wanted to separate, it would not be that simple.
And since he has no interests in the Machinists' Association, it means that every bite he eats now is a benefit.
Energy fluctuations gradually enveloped him. Li Ming closed his eyes. "Chaos, the more chaotic the better..."
………
Due to the need for expansion, the Mechanical Royal Court has been recruiting recently, but it only needs management and scientific research talents, and does not need those with strong capabilities.
They may even be rejected because their strength level is too high. Several A-level life forms have been rejected in this way.
There aren't many such talents in the chaotic star gap, but thanks to Azure Dragon's reputation, many have come across the stars.
"Kaina, an interstellar human, graduated from the Star Alliance Feston Business School and also interned at the Star Alliance Central Bank..." Several interviewers sat behind the table.
In front of me is a gentle girl wearing a long dress, sitting quietly on a chair, with a blue gem necklace on her delicate neck.
One of the interviewers said, "This is almost the best non-evolutionary academy in the Star Alliance. Logically, even in the Federation, there would be no shortage of jobs for someone like you. Why would you risk coming to the Chaos Star Gap?"
Kaina explained with a smile, "Because I want to have a longer-term development. I foresaw the unlimited potential of the Mechanical Royal Court and wanted to join it at the very beginning."
"It seems you are very optimistic about the Royal Court." Several people exchanged glances. One of them hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Ms. Kaina, your resume is impeccable. We don't have any questions. Welcome to join us."
"It's my honor." Kaina stood up and nodded calmly.
The interviewer explained, "Your data has been entered. Lord Suzaku has assigned you a personal assistant. Don't worry, it's a mechanical assistant, and he will tell you everything you need to know."
"Thank you." Kaina walked out of the room and sure enough, there was already a mechanical body waiting there, with the standard appearance of the royal court.
There was a long line behind, extending to the end of the corridor, with all kinds of life forms.
Seeing the mechanical bodies approaching her, they all showed envious expressions, causing low murmurs.
"Ms. Kaina, I am your exclusive mechanical assistant, codename 434575. Please follow me." Kaina smiled and followed the other party to disappear at the end of the corridor.
………
At the same time, the turmoil against the United Organization of Higher Life Forms is becoming more and more serious, and speculation about the identities of the ten founding members is also intensifying.
Amidst the turmoil, the empire held back for another half month before announcing the news to the public.
"The Empire and the Interstellar Alliance have jointly invited Gustav, Master of the Black Hole Temple, Anatoly, the Twilight Hermit, Perkins, the Wanderer, Anduin, Master of the Stargate, Axel, and Azure Dragon... to serve as initial members of the United Organization of Higher Lifeforms to work together to maintain interstellar security."
As soon as the list came out, the interstellar world was in an uproar!
These ten names quickly appeared on the Star Network and the hot discussion lists of various civilizations. The news behind these names was quickly searched, causing various chain reactions.
………
In the room, Trevor sat on a chair with a serious expression.
On the screen, Ulrich nodded with a smirk, saying, "His Excellency Qinglong has specifically instructed that you can fully utilize our channels and enjoy tax incentives in various civilizations."
"The Mechanical Court will never forget any friend."
"Thank Lord Qinglong for me." Trevor clenched his fists, his heart pounding.
Ulrich nodded, and the screen suddenly merged into a flash of light, then disappeared without a trace. On the screen before him was a notice from the Mechanics Association.
[Qinglong, Jihun, and Zaozhao, the three master craftsmen, met and had an in-depth discussion on the future development of the Mechanics Association and signed a number of agreements.]
Qinglong and the two master craftsmen, Zaozao and Jihun, did not have any disputes. Instead, they signed a deep cooperation agreement and tied their interests together.
"Not only that..." He was excited and opened another interface, which was the latest announcement from the Interstellar Alliance.
"Your Excellency Qinglong even became one of the ten founding members of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms. It's really..." Trev's face flushed red, and he didn't know how to describe his current mood.
At this moment, a window suddenly popped up on the screen, which was an external communication request.
His face suddenly turned cold. He took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and chose to answer the call.
Four screens popped up, surrounding the area just like they had more than half a month ago.
"Trevor..." The khaki-colored ball spoke first, but his attitude became completely different, with an ugly, flattering smile on his face: "Are you free today? We..."
"Okay, just say what you want to say. We've been friends for so many years." Trevor said lightly.
Hearing him mention the word "friend," the four of them seemed relieved. The female lizardman licked her pink tongue and said softly, "Why don't we cancel the contract we signed earlier? It hasn't been announced yet..."
Trevor suddenly grinned, "Haha..."
"Ha...hahaha" the four people on the screen also smiled apologetically.
However, Trevor's expression suddenly faltered, and he suddenly shouted coldly, "You are a bunch of idiots, short-sighted. Do you really think I'm made of clay? I just want to see your ugly faces!"
"Get out of here!"
On the screen, the four people's faces froze, showing various physiological colors.
After ending the communication, Trevor breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved, and quickly organized his next plan.
…
On the interstellar network, the discussion about the list of ten founding members continues to heat up and continues to rise. More and more people are participating, and more and more information is being dug up.
"Gustav? Why have I never heard of this name? What is the Black Hole Palace?"
"Even Gustav doesn't know? Over two thousand years ago, he killed three X-class life forms of the Federation in succession, and survived the Federation's pursuit..."
"The Dusk Hermit once attacked and killed the president of the Holy Silver Civilization, and escaped unscathed. This civilization is one of the main forces of the Star Cluster Republican Alliance."
Almost every living being on the list has a name, and a casual search will reveal a large number of horrifying deeds.
This caused a lot of people to be alarmed, after all, these people did not seem to be good people.
Except for one person.
"Master Craftsman Qinglong is here too. I remember him being one of the least likely members."
"Why not? This guy at least defeated Prince Ryan head-on, and with just a mecha. Although his achievements don't seem to be as good as others, the difference in strength shouldn't be that big, right?"
"The main problem is that he's a mechanic. This is a joint organization of higher life forms. As everyone knows, mechanics don't rely on themselves..."
Qinglong's name has attracted a lot of attention, and many people are very curious. Many people think that his deeds are far from enough to be one of the ten founding members of this organization.
"You know more than the Empire. There may be many things we don't know, but the Empire knows. Since he was invited by the Empire, it must mean that he is qualified."
"Maybe it's a deal,"
A new round of discussion has begun around the list of ten founding members, which has been used as a handle for attack by the rebels.
In addition to Qinglong, there is a lot of evidence found in it about their indiscriminate killing of innocent people and various gray trades.
Are you sure these people can maintain interstellar security instead of making it more chaotic?
Many X-level life forms were also quite surprised. They could guess what happened to most of them, but Qinglong was indeed a little unexpected.
