Chapter 331 Terrax’s heir?
In the front was a woman wearing a gene inhibitor. Her black hair was casually scattered, but it still couldn't hide her delicate cheeks. She looked sad.
Robin stood there in a daze, staring blankly at the woman, Yuan'er?
An image of a girl disappearing in flames emerged in his mind, and a feeling of sadness suddenly surged over him, waking him up with a complicated expression.
How...how could there be a woman who looks so similar?
This resemblance was not in appearance, but a combination of temperament and expression, which suddenly reminded him of some past memories.
That beauty made him nostalgic.
"Who is she?" Robin couldn't help but ask, and subconsciously smoothed his hair, revealing his handsome face.
"Why hasn't she left yet?" Li Ming asked knowingly, looking at Cassis, who was in charge of guarding. She was also an old acquaintance, Ulrich's adopted daughter.
Ulrich also called her over. At first, when Cassis learned that her old father had become Qinglong's subordinate, she was really devastated for a while.
Before Cassis could speak, Fushi whispered, "I have nowhere to go. All my friends have been killed."
Cassis then added, "This Miss Fushi doesn't want to leave."
After the base was built, in order to avoid long-term neglect and causing a falling out between Fusi, Li Ming also released Fusi.
In order to maintain her image, the other party naturally gave Li Ming a cold face, so Li Ming took the opportunity to send her away.
But Fusi firmly expressed her distrust of Li Ming. After several tugs of war, Li Ming even expressed his willingness to give her a spaceship and let her leave on her own.
But she certainly didn't want to leave, and the excuse was that all her friends were dead.
For some reason, seeing Fushi's sad look, Robin thought of the girl who died in the fire because of him. His heart ached even more and he felt obviously depressed.
"You..." Fusi raised her head hesitantly, her eyes flickering, and she seemed very shy: "Can I stay here for a while?"
"Didn't you speak ill of me before?" Li Ming asked knowingly.
"I misunderstood. You are a good person..." Fusi whispered.
Robin's mouth curled up, and it was obvious that this woman named Fusi had fallen in love with Li Ming.
"Since you are willing to stay, it's up to you." Li Ming's reaction was still indifferent, and even Cassis was speechless.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Fuxi had fallen in love with Li Ming. Perhaps because Li Ming was not interested in women, he simply didn't show any emotion.
Many mercenaries below secretly felt sorry for Fusi, and they secretly called Fusi the "dream girl".
Fusi lowered her head, seemingly out of stubbornness and shyness, but she was roaring in her heart, what on earth is wrong with this damn Li Ming?
This was completely different from what she had expected, and she even suspected that the other party had a problem with his sexual orientation.
The abnormalities in her body became more and more obvious, making her uneasy, but she couldn't find the reason.
Li Ming asked Cassis to arrange a room for her, and he took Robin and continued forward to the guest room area and assigned a room to her.
"Sir..." Before leaving, Robin suddenly called out to Li Ming and said hesitantly, "That Miss Fusi just now seemed to be in love with you. She's a pitiful person, too. I hope you can treat her well."
He reminded that he thought Li Ming was a wooden man who was not smart enough.
Li Ming smiled, "Oh, Your Excellency, you feel pity?"
"Please don't misunderstand me." Robin explained with a sad look on his face, "She just reminded me of a friend who died."
The white moonlight is very lethal.
Li Ming looked at Luo Bing with a depressed look, and left without making any comment.
Robin knew he had said too much, so he sighed helplessly and lay on his back on the bed, his hands behind his head, his eyes dull.
The skull he placed on the table suddenly burst into light and emitted a force field that enveloped the two of them.
"Robin, don't you say you won't get involved in these things?" asked the butler.
"I definitely won't get involved. It's different if I follow Li Ming. He has a big boss protecting him." Robin responded unconsciously.
"Even a Casting-star mechanic wouldn't work," the butler advised. "You'd better leave here as soon as possible."
"Why rush? Even if I don't go, it's okay to stay here for a few days. I can build a good relationship with Li Ming and help him if anything happens." Robin said unhappily, "You robots just don't understand the ways of the world."
"It's very dangerous here. The woman just now was the Mother Tree of Desire." The butler said in a deep voice.
"The Mother Tree of Desire? Fusi?" Robin looked a little bewildered. "What is the Mother Tree of Desire?"
"A special life form born from a deep dimensional world, capable of stirring the inner desires of living beings." The butler explained: "She must have fused the gene seed of the Mother Tree of Desire."
"So that's why I feel she's like Yuan'er?" Robin murmured, then angrily, "Damn it! How dare you blaspheme Yuan'er... Does Li Ming know? I'm going to tell him!"
"The Mother Tree of Desire is an S-level life form," the butler added.
Robin, who had just stood up, suddenly froze in place, his mouth dry: "That woman just now, was she an S-level lifeform?"
"Yes." The housekeeper confirmed, "So, if you expose her, it might lead to bad consequences."
"I suggest you leave as soon as possible."
Robin was so excited that he didn't expect to see such an exciting scene right away. He was puzzled and said:
"That means Li Ming probably doesn't know the other person's identity, so why did she come?"
"This has nothing to do with you." The butler shook his head.
Robin ignored him and muttered to himself, "She must be lurking here for some reason. If I expose her, wouldn't that be a big help to Li Ming? Or even save his life?"
"You can't explain how you figured that out?" the butler added.
"There's always a way to uncover secrets, superpowers, and the like..." Robin said.
"The other party used a very sophisticated concealment technique, which cannot be explained by ordinary abilities. I suggest that you leave as soon as possible." The butler continued speaking. Robin shook his head: "Your suggestion may not be correct."
"Sometimes you need stability, and other times you need to take risks. In this situation, I can do the other party a big favor without taking too much risk. If I had a friend like this before, I wouldn't be seen as a soft persimmon by Yeyue Company."
"Besides, if something goes wrong, don't we still have you?"
The butler fell silent. The fact that the gene seed had been stolen was indeed a big blow to Robin.
"Let Li Ming wait for his teacher to come back before taking action against that woman." Robin suddenly stood up and did what he said.
So, before Li Ming returned to the laboratory, he was caught up by Robin again.
"What's wrong?" Li Ming was a little confused seeing the other party's mysterious look.
"Is there a secret place where no one else can hear us talking?" Robin lowered his voice, feeling uneasy.
After all, he is an S-level life form. To him, he is a big shot that is out of reach. It's too scary.
Li Ming remained silent, but still brought him to his laboratory and said, "This place is absolutely secret, don't worry."
Robin looked around, still looking uneasy, and patted the skull in his hand, which suddenly popped out and covered the two of them.
"Something's wrong with Fushi." Robin said.
"Oh?" Li Ming was slightly surprised and looked Robin up and down. "You actually figured it out."
"She is a..." Robin said subconsciously, then suddenly realized and stared at Li Ming as if he had seen a ghost: "What do you mean by that?"
"She is an S-level life form." Li Ming said casually.
"You know?" Robin was stunned and swallowed his saliva. "This isn't a misunderstanding, is she one of us?"
"No, she is someone lurking around me." Li Ming shook his head, quite surprised. Monroe didn't notice Fusi's hiding at that time, and he only guessed the clues based on his professional ability.
How did Robin figure that out?
"You let an S-class lifeform lurk around you?" Robin swallowed hard. "Are you playing such a big game, buddy?"
"Haha..." Li Ming laughed, "What surprises me is that you, the Excellency, also noticed her. Even a Class A lifeform can't detect her concealment ability."
"Ha...ha..." Robin smiled awkwardly, then suddenly felt regretful. He quickly changed the subject and said reluctantly, "I was trying to do you a favor, but it seems I was being too sentimental."
"No, no..." Li Ming shook his head, his eyes strange. "I am still very grateful for your reminder. Do you have any more information?"
"More information..." Robin hesitated. He couldn't explain it in the first place, and he couldn't explain it any further. But now he took the risk to come here, only to get a bland response. He felt that he had lost out.
"It seems that because of the Mother Tree of Desire, she looks like someone I have met before."
"Mother Tree of Desire?" It didn't sound like a good thing to Li Ming.
Robin said: "A strange creature from the deep dimensional world."
Li Ming seemed to be thinking about something, and then he said to Robin, "You took the risk to come and remind me, I appreciate your kindness."
Robin was slightly delighted. This was exactly what he wanted. He said, "I'm glad you can help."
Then, with a lingering fear, he said, "Then... Fuxi..."
"Don't worry, she can't cause any trouble." Li Ming said calmly.
Feeling the strong confidence in the other party's words, Robin has been envious countless times. It's great to have a big boss as a backer.
"That's good. I'll go back first." Robin said goodbye and was about to turn around and leave.
Li Ming moved his feet slightly, and for some reason, Robin suddenly cried out "Ouch", half of his body became numb, and the whole person staggered.
Li Ming was quick-witted and quick-handed. He held his shoulder with one hand and caught the skull that he had dropped with the other hand, with a gleam of light in his eyes.
[Manager--Special Type: Intelligent mechanical bodies left behind by the Titans, they have been looking for successors.
Control conditions: 30 million metal energy
Control Ability - Selection: Designate a certain life form to participate in the Titan Trial.
"I'm sorry, there's a broken circuit in my laboratory, and there's a leakage of electricity from time to time." Li Ming apologized and handed the skull back.
Titan? That's another name for Terrax. This thing is actually choosing a successor?
Robin's frightened expression finally calmed down, and he managed to say, "The intensity of your current is quite shocking."
Watching Robin leave, Li Ming's eyes flickered. This skull is quite interesting. It requires 30 million metal energies to control it. It is very valuable.
It must be because of that ability that he participated in the Titan Trial?
Inherit what Titan left behind?
And it seems there is more than one [Manager], raising Gu?
"Robin..." Li Ming murmured, his eyes flickering.
Robin did not leave, but stayed there. He just avoided meeting Fusi on purpose and replaced many of his outdated equipment with a smug look on his face.
The construction of various assembly lines is proceeding in an orderly manner. Large plain areas are being framed and large warehouses are rising out of thin air.
Before I knew it, two months had passed in a flash.
"Today, under the mediation of the Interstellar Alliance and witnessed by the envoys of the Xingyuan Empire, the Yitlan civilization and the Judge civilization signed a ceasefire agreement..."
"This five-month conflict has resulted in countless casualties..."
The screen was showing the signing ceremony of the armistice agreement. The representative sent by the Itlan civilization was Asmara, the executioner who beheaded Antonio. This was enough to show that the Itlan civilization did not care about the armistice.
Asmara looked more heroic and her eyes were sharp. During this period, as a vanguard officer, Asmara received a lot of support from the Bloodthirsty Grand Duke, which made her influence and authority in the Itlan civilization continue to rise.
Her ruthless style is deeply favored by the hawks, and she is vaguely known as the Iron-Blooded Princess.
But Li Ming knew more. The reason for the ceasefire was that Grand Duke Cixue received compensation from Grand Duke Guya and ceded a quarter of his fiefdom.
But the situation did not stabilize. Li Ming learned from Blackbeard that Grand Duke Guya's forced compensation had made the royal family extremely dissatisfied and caused internal turmoil.
Many nobles threatened to settle accounts with the Bloody Duke.
The situation of the Bloodthirsty Duke, who received compensation, was not so good either. Instead, he was suppressed even more, like a blunt knife cutting his flesh, and was in a state of panic.
"It's better not to be idle. If I am idle, I will look for the real murderer who killed his son." Li Ming muttered.
"One hair can move the whole body."
After closing the virtual screen, Li Ming felt emotional, because the internal conflicts were intense enough that any tiny spark could cause a big explosion.
The situation over there was unpredictable, but his side was proceeding step by step and growing steadily.
With the help of the [Matter Reconstruction Fabricator], in addition to the seventy-eight assembly lines required for the production of mechanical bodies, thirty-two small arms assembly lines have been completed.
We took on our first business half a month ago.
The weapons replacement orders from Blackwater Security Company totaled 3 billion, with a net profit of about 20%.
Afterwards, there were many more weapons orders, all of which came from some orders that the Black Hole Hall had originally promised.
What surprised Li Ming was that some business also came from outside the Chaos Star Gap. Some of Connit's old friends and resistance organizations from various places also sent him many orders.
All in all, the company received orders worth nearly 10 billion yuan in the first half month of opening.
At the same time, we also received some mercenary orders. Jessiah, Theo... were not in the base.
"It's more comfortable to develop genetic seeds and make money at the same time." Li Ming stretched his body.
During this period, someone was working for him and he had free time, and he had been developing gene seeds. The progress had reached 10%, which was more than he expected.
This is also because I have been working tirelessly to develop gene seeds.
However, there is also some bad news.
Almost all the orders we have accepted so far are from personal connections and have been promised long ago.
Apart from the unexpected surprise from Cornett's side, there were no natural orders, and someone had already started to block them.
Thinking about it, he opened the Black Hole Network backend again and switched to the account belonging to Qinglong. Blackbeard surprisingly sent him a new message, wanting to discuss in detail.
