Chapter 215: Take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune and finally become a B-level life form!
This seems to be a chain reaction.
Li Ming thought about it and decided to use Ford to trick Lao Wu into defecting, and then use the precious items he mentioned to lure him into contacting Lao Wu.
However, my sudden mention of Theo should have disrupted the other party's deployment.
He was probably certain that Ford was still imprisoned, and the person who was talking to him was not Ford himself.
Asmara had too little information, and perhaps had never anticipated that Ford would be controlled to that extent.
The only possible accident is that Ford explodes himself and tells everything. Asmara realizes the problem and uses the same trick again.
Is it possible?
It is not impossible, of course, provided that the commander-in-chief is not Asmara, but his father.
"We still have to cooperate." Li Ming thought about it. He was still hoping to get a main gun from Asmara.
Clicking on Wu Yanqing's account call box, Li Ming sent a message, "Teacher?"
"He asked!"
In the intelligence room, everyone looked excited, but Asmara remained expressionless. "Don't reply for now. Wait for half a day before you reply."
"That's quite a show." Li Ming muttered, then simply closed the page and continued developing the gene seeds.
………
In another room not far away, Theo was also talking to someone.
"In other words, you have formed a temporary alliance and are planning to use the participation of Master Mechanic Qinglong to coerce the Torch Organization into taking you into the ruins."
A calm voice came from the screen, "Interesting, it turned out to be like this"
Theo's heart moved slightly, "Sir, due to various accidents, we have been delayed for too long. Even with their help, it will be difficult to find Serrad when we contact the Torch Organization again."
It's not like Serrad doesn't have legs, he can run. The other party is driving a spaceship and may have disappeared without a trace long ago.
If the distance is too far, even the information state cannot track it.
"Oh, such a precious thing, how could a B-level lifeform steal it?" The other party sneered, his gray eyes lowered. "For some reason, Serrad had already stolen it before I took over."
"You mean, there's something wrong with my people?"
"I dare not." Gray Eyes shook his head.
The other party did not continue to delve into this topic, but simply asked: "How confident are you that you can defeat that great mechanic?"
"100%," Gray Eyes said calmly, "It takes time for his nano-mech to adapt. He has no chance of resistance from a close-range attack."
"I suspect he's just bluffing. His actual strength isn't as strong as he claims."
"Do you need me to take him away?"
The other party rejected it: "Not necessary for now. Let's go with your original plan. Perhaps you can have an unexpected impact."
"I understand." Gray Eyes nodded and then tried again, "The flower of Casablanca."
The other party said indifferently: "After this matter is over, I will prepare another one for you."
Gray Eyes breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, sir."
The screen went off, revealing a spacious office with reddish-brown walls, a red carpet on the floor, and carefully tended green potted plants in the corners.
There was no furniture on the floor in the middle of the room, but above it was a huge chandelier. A little further back was an office desk with a figure sitting behind it.
He crossed his arms and said indifferently, "Haven't you contacted Serad yet?"
"No, he has lost contact." The subordinate standing on the side responded.
"Keep looking. You dare to embezzle my things..." His voice became smaller and smaller.
………
It wasn't until the next day that "Old Wu" replied to his message.
"how?"
The tone was very cold. Just by looking at these two words, Li Ming could already imagine Wu Yanqing standing in front of him with a cold face.
The imitation is indeed very similar.
"I heard from Ford that you defected?" Li Ming asked.
"Fred?"
Messages popped up one after another. "He should be imprisoned by Asmara. How could he possibly contact you?"
"It's Asmara. She must have had someone disguised as Ford. What did he ask you to do?"
Li Ming's eyesight is amazing and powerful, and Asmara is really awesome.
First question Ford to enhance his own credibility in disguise.
But in fact, Ford didn't ask him to do anything. Upon closer examination, this kind of questioning does not constitute any doubt at all.
"He didn't ask me to do anything." Li Ming tried to explain, "It was his father who forcefully rescued him from Asmara."
"Prince Baijan..." Old Wu seemed to be pondering. "No matter what, the people of the Itlan civilization are not very good. You have to be more careful when dealing with them."
"Tsk..." Li Ming couldn't help but shake his head and continued typing, "I understand. Where are you now? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry." He said it briefly.
Li Ming took the initiative to say: "Asmara will definitely not let you go easily, do you want to come to the Land of Stars?"
"The Land of the Stars?" Old Wu protested, "No, the people there are not worthy of my trust."
Very much in Lao Wu's style.
"I'm here too." Li Ming continued, "Don't worry, Teacher Qinglong will protect you."
Old Wu suddenly said, "What else did Ford say to you? Did he tell you that I took away a very crucial item related to the Ascendant Ruins?"
"That's right."
"I don't need anyone's protection."
"Teacher Qinglong doesn't know what you brought, I didn't tell him." Li Ming thought for a moment and replied.
He also had to play along with the other party to prevent them from noticing something was wrong and causing his main gun to disappear.
"You can't always be hunted by Asmara."
There was no response from the other side for a long time.
"He didn't tell Qinglong?" Asmara frowned slightly, quite surprised.
"There is a certain probability that he is just deceiving Wu Yanqing." The intelligence officer reminded.
"It doesn't matter. You can agree to it." Asmara shook her head.
"Okay, I'll change course and head to the Land of the Stars as soon as possible. We'll be there in about ten days."
Ten days? Li Ming sneered. Did he not want to honor his main gun?
That won't work.
"Then I might need to trouble you to hide in the Land of Stars for a while. I'm still on my way there and will arrive in about fifteen days."
Asmara's face darkened slightly, and Arik felt a dilemma. "Let's put it this way. If he can't see the artillery, will his consciousness be affected?"
Asmara chose to advance the time just because he didn't want to fulfill the promise of the artillery, but this guy is still on his way to the Land of Stars?
"That's it, agree to him." Asmara hesitated and made up her mind.
"good"
Only after hearing this word did Li Ming smile. He guessed that if Asmara followed his original plan, he should ambush them when he was picking up Wu Yanqing.
"The secret must be kept to myself. In their minds, even if I tell Qinglong, I can't tell Ulrich and the others."
But now, Theo's incident has disrupted Asmara's deployment, and he has been forced to sacrifice an additional main gun.
Li Ming muttered, "Now we have two ambush opportunities. I wonder which one you will choose."
………
"Commander, if Li Ming is the only one here, do we still need Thiago? In order to mobilize him, you promised the Bernest civilization a lot of benefits." Arik lowered his voice.
"It's better to be prepared. We must make sure we can catch these two people. I even feel that one A-level life form is not enough." Asmara shook her head.
"Thiago has prepared advanced EMP bombs and magnetic nano-disruptors, all targeting this person."
"Besides, it takes time to dress in his mecha, and he's only a Class B lifeform. When Qinglong left the Iron Castle, even though there were Class A lifeforms following him, as long as he moved quickly, they wouldn't be able to stop him."
Arik flattered, "Your plan is foolproof."
"Besides, greed is at work. Even if Li Ming tells Qinglong about the secret of the Ascendant Ruins, the Great Mechanic will not tell anyone else."
"Perhaps Qinglong will try every possible way to get rid of his pursuers and go alone."
"No, tell Thiago that the plan has changed. We will not choose to pick up Wu Yanqing at this time, but when the black hole network delivers the goods." Asmara suddenly said.
"Change of plans?" Arik was puzzled. "Isn't this a good thing?"
Asmara said calmly, "This main gun must be one that Qinglong is preparing to undergo some kind of modification. At the same time, it's not too important."
"In order to avoid being stopped by Ulrich and others, there is a certain probability that Qinglong will not show up, and the only person to receive the goods will be Li Mingyi himself."
"If the Azure Dragon shows up, we'll proceed as planned." Plans cannot keep up with changes, and Asmara believes there's more wiggle room this way.
"Your wisdom puts me to shame." Arik complimented, and then conveyed his instructions under Asmara's cold gaze.
Asmara's eyes were dim. If they were not too far away from the Land of Stars, she would not have to go through so much trouble.
The battle video has been spreading farther and farther. If we don't take action in advance, we may not even get to drink the soup in the end.
"How come such a great mechanic suddenly appeared..."
…
Over the next period of time, Ford contacted Li Ming several times and exchanged some harmless news.
The most important thing was to tell him that he had spent a huge amount of money to purchase the main ship-class turrets he needed on the Black Hole Network.
He complained a lot about this, which surprised Li Ming. Not to mention the secrets hidden between him and Ford, their tone of voice was too similar.
As for Wu Yanqing, he had little contact with him during this period, which was consistent with his personality.
In the blink of an eye, twelve days had passed, and Ulrich's Iron Castle had been almost repaired. Some areas that were too severely damaged could not be easily repaired and were just left alone for the time being.
While developing the gene seeds, Li Ming was also sorting out himself, trying to use the [Material Recombination Manufacturer] to make some things and plan the control system of Class B life forms.
In the room, various elemental energies surged on Li Ming's skin.
Until a certain moment, it seemed to reach a limit, suddenly rising and then gradually disappearing.
Li Mingze slowly opened his eyes, a long-lost excitement flashing across his face after so many days of sleepless development.
The progress of his gene seed development finally reached 100%. He didn't even need to test it. The familiar feeling of fullness in his body made him sure of it.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Without any hesitation, a slender metal tube appeared in his palm, which was the gene seed of the [Red Lotus Thunder Dragon].
He had Saber look at it, and there was nothing wrong with the gene seed.
The sharp needle pierced his skin, and the cold liquid merged into his blood, then quickly flowed into his heart and burst out throughout his body.
Li Ming closed his eyes slightly, feeling his skin burning like fire. The cells in his body instantly rioted, like ignited kerosene, burning fiercely, and bursting out with explosive power far stronger than normal.
Beneath the red skin, blood vessels bulged and tangled together, and the muscles were as hard as stone.
boom!
The surging energy of various elements burst out from Li Ming's body, like a thunderous tsunami, with loud thunder roaring.
It whipped the ground and walls, leaving charred marks and making sizzling sounds.
Li Ming opened his eyes and saw a sea of red, with thunder and fire intertwined. Cells were violently transforming, fusing new gene seeds and producing deeper changes.
The mimicry mask flickered, as if it couldn't withstand the impact.
"Why is it such a loud noise?" Enduring the pain of genetic transformation, Li Ming's body appeared with the [Ferros Warrior-class Mecha], covering his entire body.
However, this was just the beginning. The cold gene seed traveled and melted throughout his body, but a certain power hidden deep in his genes emerged out of thin air.
The intersection with the gene seed was like oil boiling over a raging fire. The two produced indescribable changes, and then burst out with even more violent power.
A large number of complex red patterns spread across the surface of the skin, exuding an indescribable fierce aura from head to toe.
That is the residual power of the [Casablanca Flower] intercepted by the [Gene Warrior].
This was the last thought that came to Li Ming's mind. He tried his best to switch the controlled objects, and then used [Field Medical Care] for support.
Then, he was overwhelmed by intense pain. Red arcs of electricity continuously gushed out from the gaps in the mecha, carrying flames and purple ripples, and the ground was melting.
Bang!
The door was knocked open, and Ulrich, Sandro, and Theo stood there in a row, looking surprised.
"What is he doing?" Sandro looked at the metal mecha in front of him with a puzzled look on his face. He tried to call the other party's name, but there was no response.
"This energy intensity... why does it feel out of control?" Theo casually captured a flash of the electric arc. "It can only be considered average."
"I hope there won't be any accidents." Ulrich's expression flickered.
"The master is testing something, please do not disturb him." A mechanical body suddenly spoke in the corner.
"Testing something? Are you sure?" Sandro looked him up and down. "Why isn't he responding?"
"What kind of response do you expect from me?" A cold voice suddenly came from the mecha. "You guys really care about me. You came over to check at the slightest noise."
"I'm glad you're okay." Sandro didn't care. Ulrich was a little confused, but he just glanced at him twice.
The three of them left the room.
In the mecha, Li Ming was breathing heavily. The transformation in his body was still going on, but the most painful time had passed.
About two hours later, the mecha on his body suddenly disappeared, and what came into view was a body that looked like it was cast from pure gold.
It is neither bloated nor thin, as if it is close to some perfect proportion. When the five fingers are stretched out, the air flows like water, as if it can be crushed with a little force.
The exhilaration of ascending to a higher level of life is incomparable. The body feels incredibly light and yet filled with strength. The shackles of the body are broken, and the broad and seemingly endless road of evolution is right under your feet.
He took a long breath, and an airflow mixed with fine arc particles instantly filled the entire room.
