"Huh..." Li Ming exhaled a breath of gas mixed with highly compressed energy fragments, which crackled in front of his eyes and gradually dissipated.
Slowly opening his eyes, the energy particles surging on the surface of his skin gradually converged. Feeling the power in his body, he couldn't help but sigh: "Two years have passed, and the development progress has finally reached 30%."
He stood up and stretched his limbs, and heard crackling sounds from inside. Feeling the changes in his body, his energy level soared from 20X when he just evolved to 70X.
The Taegos gene-seed focuses on physical enhancement. Every 1% progress increases energy levels by 1.5x.
When it just reached the 30% node, no strange genetic ability was born, but Bo's body was slightly strengthened.
The improvement in strength made him happy. After adapting a little, he immediately switched to [Traces of Eternal Abyss] to feel the activity of Eternal Abyss.
In the process of continuing to develop gene seeds, only this matter and absorbing metal energy can pull him out of it.
Observe once a month to ensure that Yongyuan's activity progress is always under your control.
But this time…
As soon as Li Ming activated his ability, he felt something was wrong. Although his activity level was still "weak", it was slightly improved compared to a month ago.
This change is far from enough to change its activity level from "weak" to "weak", but it is a real increase.
“Why did the activity level suddenly increase?”
Even if it was just a tiny bit, Li Ming was extremely alert and frowned.
I immediately opened my smart terminal and scanned the interstellar network. Everything was normal, but the hot search headlines were:
"Visit the Mechanical Royal Court, the core base of the only ultimate life form in the universe."
This is a video posted by "Chief Long Chui".
I opened the push notifications from the Black Hole Network again, and all sorts of weird information came in, but none of it had a significant impact.
There was no harvest from the interstellar network and the black hole network, which made Li Ming frown even deeper.
Even though the increase in activity was only a slight one, the birth of Adam and the battle between him and Adam might have only increased it a little more than this time.
In the interstellar world, it is difficult to remain silent.
Thinking of this, he opened another specially customized software, and immediately a large amount of information popped up, waiting for review.
In addition to the two obvious information channels, the interstellar network and the black hole network.
The information channels he currently controls include the Mechanical Royal Court, the Higher Lifeforms United Organization, the Imperial Intelligence Organization, the Mechanics Association, and so on...
The intelligence collected every day is extremely complex and needs to be screened multiple times. This software is specifically designed to receive the filtered intelligence.
"The Federation is secretly selecting many citizens who have great potential and value in various fields."
"The Star Alliance Council is planning to impeach Antigo, believing his foreign policy is too weak."
“………”
If this news were to get out, it would certainly cause quite a stir, but it would obviously not cause Yongyuan's activity to increase.
"Since it's not in the open, it must be in the dark..." Li Ming's face flickered. "I'm afraid Yongyuan is actively stirring up trouble to expand his activity."
The three recorders were still in the Mechanical Royal Court and had written down everything they knew. Li Ming read it carefully.
There is no relevant description to prove that Yongyuan has ever actively increased his activity level. It was basically passively increased through things happening in the main universe.
But Li Ming believed that Yongyuan must have this ability.
"However, the universe is so vast. Unless there is a clear event to guide it, otherwise..." Li Ming couldn't help but have a headache.
The bad thing is that the interstellar universe is too vast. Maybe there are clues that are collected, but they are discarded after layers of screening mechanisms.
Even though his screening mechanism has been carefully adjusted and managed by Suzaku, this problem cannot be avoided.
After all, based on intelligence, the relevant clues are most likely just a fluctuation in the void somewhere, an energy outage. No matter how intelligent Suzaku is, it is impossible for him to connect with Yongyuan.
"But, we still have to find it..." Li Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and he began to issue instructions through various channels. Now the collection and summary of these intelligence are all in a passive state.
Once subjective initiative is exerted, the scene becomes completely different.
But the specific instructions on paper made him feel a little troubled. He couldn't just tell them to look for all the information related to Yongyuan.
The grassroots workers may not even know Yongyuan’s situation, and the impact it causes may be huge.
Frowning, he pondered over and over again, and could only condense it into six words, "Search for any abnormalities."
…
The Sea of Stars, the Nyrost civilization, was a civilization that was discovered more than a hundred years ago and incorporated into the interstellar map.
It did not choose to connect with the interstellar world, but instead implemented closed management of its internal affairs. More than 95% of its citizens did not even understand the meaning of the word "interstellar".
The borders of the Starry Sea have been expanding. There are many civilizations like this, but Nyrost is a little different.
Because its coverage includes six star clusters and it has native X-level life forms, it is quite powerful.
When they were first discovered, they even had to fight with the Star Alliance. However, after realizing the absolute gap in strength between them, they had no choice but to join.
It has only been a member for a short time, is closed to the outside world, and is relatively strong.
This made the Nyrost civilization famous in the Sea of Stars, and many people wanted to explore its unique culture and hidden secrets.
What made Nyrost even more famous was that fifty years ago, a group of stowaways from the Federation secretly entered its territory out of curiosity, but were caught and detained by the Nyrost civilization.
The Federation put pressure on the Nyrost civilization to hand over those people. The Nyrost civilization initially resisted, but they did not agree to release them until the Star Alliance intervened.
However, on the day of release, the Nyrost civilization played a little trick and did not release the people through the designated border pass.
Instead, they came from another area, and when the federal people arrived, they could only see a pile of spaceship ruins.
The Nyrost civilization claimed that this incident had nothing to do with them and was done by roaming interstellar pirates, which caused quite a stir at the time.
Although the Federation was unhappy, it was impossible for it to cross such a long distance to attack a not-too-weak civilization.
In the end, only a symbolic amount of the Nyrost civilization's assets in the Federation were deducted as compensation, and the matter was left unresolved.
It is precisely because of this incident that the Nerost civilization has become more mysterious and has also taken on a somewhat dangerous color.
The Nyrost civilization also realized that it could not allow the outside interstellar media to smear it at will, so it specially opened a window for external communication and accepted interstellar tourists at specific times every year.
This place is Sanchez Star. As the only planet with life in the galaxy, it is extremely close to the border of civilization and is an excellent window.
In the planet's main city, even though the stars are facing away from this place, the lights are still on, and the patrol spacecraft flying through the clouds can be clearly seen.
The streets were clean and wide. The Niloster people gathered in groups of three or four and seemed to be taking a walk. They had light blue skin, prominent facial features, narrow eyes, and light yellow pupils, which gave them some animal characteristics.
Wearing distinctive civilized clothing, everyone has a smile on their face, and the atmosphere is peaceful and stable.
Another group of people on the street attracted the attention of these indigenous people, and they looked at them frequently.
It was truly a hodgepodge of races, with every living being holding special camera equipment and filming everywhere.
"Why does this place feel so weird? Look at those natives, they have smiles on their faces even when being photographed." Several humans in the team were whispering in a rare indigenous language.
One of the men's eyes flickered as he suppressed his excitement. "Someone has said before that this place is a window to the outside world specially created by Nyrost. I suspect these people are all carefully trained agents."
"I'm going to go to the top floor of the government affairs center to take a look."
"Honey!" The face of a female backpacker accompanying them changed slightly. Her long fiery red hair looked quite flamboyant. "Are you looking for death? That place is a strictly prohibited area."
"Bates, just because it's expressly prohibited, there must be a lot of secrets hidden there." Honey was eager to try.
The man next to him looked hesitant. "But these surveillance balls behind us are following us almost 24 hours a day. We don't stand a chance."
"I have a way to block them." Honey smiled mysteriously.
Bates couldn't help but look at him. "Who are you? An interstellar backpacker, and you have such a method?"
Honey tempted, "Are you willing? Steve, the video about this place is already all over the place. Even if you post it, you won't gain many followers. But if you reveal the truth about this place, you'll be rich and powerful."
The man and woman looked at each other with some hesitation, but then Honey hugged them and said, "Don't think about it. This is not the home planet of Nyrost. We can hold on."
"After this time, I will take you to visit the Mechanical Royal Court."
The Mechanical Royal Court? They were both shocked. As the base of Li Ming/Qinglong, the ultimate life form, the Mechanical Royal Court had attracted the attention of almost the entire galaxy after the Imperial War.
Although it is partially open to the public, the number of places is extremely limited and has been hyped up to nearly one million star coins per person, but there is still no demand.
Their throats couldn't help but roll.
After following the tour guide and touring the main road, they returned to the hotel to rest.
Until late at night, three figures slipped out silently.
"Fuck, a mimicking camouflage curtain, such a high-tech thing, you have it too? And you can even bring it in, you are the agent, right?" Steve and the other two hid under a curtain, as if it was transparent, and they could clearly see the scene outside.
Steve had seen this thing in some popular science videos. It can be adjusted in real time according to the external ambient light, and can blend into the environment no matter from which direction you look at it.
Depending on its function, the most expensive one can reach tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of star coins.
"Have you ever seen an agent as handsome as me?" Honey asked back, his azure eyes like amber.
The two were speechless, but also somewhat excited. They came all the way to the government affairs center, which was the core area of Sanchez. The soldiers in charge of guarding it had resolute expressions.
However, the specifications of this mimicry screen were much higher than Steve and the others had imagined, and they almost slipped right under the noses of these soldiers.
"Ambient light shielding, mimicry, infrared simulation, sound wave absorption... This thing probably costs no less than 10 million star coins..." Steve took a breath.
He knew Honey might be a rich second-generation who came out to experience life, but he didn't expect him to be so rich.
"However, we can't take the elevator anymore. I guess we can only take the emergency exit." Honey whispered.
Steve and the other man were both nervous. Although this thing could make their bodies disappear under many detection methods, the entity still existed.
However, the process was much easier than he had imagined, and they reached the top floor with almost no setbacks.
The corridor here is covered with red carpet, and a huge photo of President Nyrost hangs on the back wall.
There were rooms on both sides, and Steve felt uneasy in his heart. He couldn't help but say: "There are so many rooms, I can't go to them one by one..."
He suddenly closed his mouth mid-sentence, and saw the room at the end of the corridor suddenly open, and a Nyrost man walked out, with a dull expression and bloodshot eyes.
"Consul..." A voice suddenly came from behind. The three of them were startled. Bates covered his mouth forcibly to prevent himself from making any sound.
When they came back to their senses, the Niloster people in front of them had returned to normal, with a dignified look on their faces.
The people in the rear reported: "Today's tour is over."
"Yes." The Archon nodded solemnly. "We'll have to keep a close watch tomorrow. There are quite a few people with ill intentions among them, intent on finding evidence that could harm us."
"clear."
The two talked, stepped into the elevator, and gradually walked away.
After a long moment, the three of them came back to their senses, but Honey's eyes were filled with excitement. "Did you see that just now? When the Archon came out, he looked dazed, with bloodshot eyes. There was something strange, very strange!"
"It seems so." Bates nodded hesitantly. Steve kept the smart terminal on throughout the whole process and replayed it directly. He found that it was just as Honey said. The situation was obviously wrong.
The three of them were excited and looked back to see that the elevator had reached the bottom floor.
They moved forward cautiously, and when they neared the gate, Honey took out a thin piece of transparent crystal and stuck it on the handle.
I saw a large amount of data streams appearing above, and silently, the door opened a crack, and a faint blood light could be seen.
The three of them looked at each other, took a deep breath, looked back, and covered the door with a mimicry curtain.
Honey pulled out a coin-sized blue device like a magic trick, threw it through the gap, and after a flash of blue light, he walked into the door.
The whole room was simple and unpretentious, with tables, chairs, desks, and heavy curtains, looking like the place where a prim official lived.
The only difference is the faint red light emitted from under the desk.
Honey couldn't wait any longer and ran over while the other two were still looking around.
"Ho...Ni." Steve called out softly, and saw that the other party stopped beside the desk with a stiff face.
"What's wrong?" He also walked forward and looked in the direction Honey was looking.
