This is not mechanical ascension.

"A few friends." Li Ming explained, "Thank you for your help."

As if a disaster was about to happen, Blake, who was sweating all over, was stunned when he heard this, and then slowly exhaled.

"Friends?"

The reactions of several people fell into Ulrich's eyes. His expression was meaningful, but he didn't say much and retracted his gaze.

In Blake's heart, he couldn't help but feel lucky to have survived the disaster.

Although before coming, he said that he and others had the support of the Interstellar Alliance and were not afraid of even A-level life forms, but Blake knew clearly that it was just talk.

If their action was successful and they escaped, it would be unlikely for the collector to go out of the Land of Stars to hunt them down.

But in the same way, if they were killed here by the collector, the Interstellar Alliance would be unlikely to do anything for them.

Moreover, judging from how much the collector values ​​this person, if they had really taken action just now, this A-level life form might have really rushed out of the Land of Stars to hunt them down.

It can be said that their life and death depended on this person's thoughts, but the other party's words saved their lives.

Thinking of this, Blake's mentality changed subtly, and his eyes looked at Li Ming with a lot of complexity.

He was not a bad person, but quite upright. The grace of saving his life was in front of him, so this matter would be difficult to handle.

Ya Luo's hanging heart was also put down. He didn't want to see Li Ming and the people of the Interstellar Alliance killing each other. A considerable part of the current situation was caused by him.

If Blake and others died, he didn't know how to face himself.

And Ulrich said to Li Ming: "Don't worry, the trouble has been solved, and Sandro should not attack you again in the future."

"Thanks to you." Li Ming said "gratefully", Ulrich smiled, but he was also a little surprised in his heart.

Before Sandro's men boarded the floating island, they were discovered by Qinglong, and it was certain that the other party was coming towards him. This ability is not simple.

But Ulrich felt that the situation was still under control, and he didn't care too much. Instead, he looked up at the Red River Star Waterfall, "I almost forgot that this is your first time to participate in this Red River Star Waterfall. You are not familiar with it yet, and you should not gain much. Let me help you."

"That's great." Li Ming nodded immediately.

Blake and others beside him tried to reduce their presence. When they heard what Ulrich said, they were even more surprised.

Being a bodyguard is not enough, but also a nanny?

Blake didn't quite understand. The man in front of him had just arrived at the Land of Stars. Why was he so valued by Ulrich?

Ulrich smiled, his posture was always elegant, raised his hand, as if he had grabbed an invisible curtain, and suddenly pulled it down, and a raging terrifying breath surged out.

At such a close distance, everyone could feel the power of the A-level life form. The aftermath alone was enough to make them breathless.

The boundless red river star stream was rippled in some areas, and more than a dozen meteors were pulled out. The red light was dazzling, and it seemed to be heading towards the small floating island like a world-destroying force.

Blake's heart trembled, and the oppressive feeling that came over him made it difficult for him to breathe. The entire floating island was shrouded in shadows, as if it would be smashed to pieces in the next moment.

Ulrich clenched his fists, and in an instant, all the meteors stopped in mid-air, no longer falling, and slowly rotating.

The red light faded, and various wreckages and building ruins emerged. The most eye-catching one was a super-large main ship-class wreckage.

Li Ming's expression was tense. The horror of the A-level life form was beyond his expectations.

It can change the ecological environment on a large scale and destroy the continental plates. If they are given a certain amount of time, they can kill all the life on the surface of the planet. The destructive power is amazing.

"Ha..." Ulrich chuckled, "I'm lucky. I actually have a super-large main ship. The scrap materials are worth hundreds of millions."

Because Ulrich's own ability seems to be related to gravity, every time he goes to the Red River Star Falls, he basically gets the most, and he won't waste even a minute or a second.

And this strange behavior of turning back halfway attracted the attention of many life forms.

There are many predators riding gravity spaceships who have been remotely observing the scene here through optical eyepieces.

"The Collector seems to be capturing meteors for that small floating island. Sandro also seemed to have appeared just now..."

"It's really strange. Who is that guy? He looks unfamiliar."

"It's the mechanic Qinglong. No wonder he closed down. It turns out that he was taken in by the Collector. Many people have speculated that he might be a great mechanic."

"I heard that this person killed Atom of the Star Hunter..."

"The venomous snake is dead? No wonder I haven't seen him recently."

The discussion sounded in various channels, and many interstellar villains who didn't know the "Qinglong Mechanic" at first gradually got a general understanding.

"Great mechanic..." Saber sat on the chair, swiping the smart terminal, and the discussion about Qinglong was constantly refreshed one after another.

There seemed to be a little fire in his turbid eyes, "If it's a great mechanic, maybe he can do it."

...

On the floating island, Ulrich had left and continued to use his ability to pull a large number of meteors from the Red River Star Falls.

The duration of the Red River Star Falls was not long, only a day and a half, Li Ming roughly estimated.

Ulrich had attracted at least two hundred meteors, which was an astonishing number.

He was even more stunned. No wonder an A-level life form that didn't do much killing and loved collecting things would be hiding in the Land of Stars. This was simply a super treasure.

Even if most of them are useless waste products, there is no cost to pay.

And after it's over, most of the stuff will flow into collectors' pockets.

The villains who hang out in the land of stars don't have any good eyesight. It's not just the collector who says how much it is, but it doesn't take much effort anyway.

Over time, the accumulation of collectors is terrifying.

"No wonder there are thousands of mother minerals..." Li Ming marveled. With the end of the Red River Star Waterfall, the floating island in the Land of Stars also returned to its original position.

This is not a big event, it can only be said to be a small episode in the land of stars.

On Li Ming's small floating island, the wreckage and ruins are fixed by gravity grabbing devices, waiting to be processed.

And Black and others are on pins and needles, neither can they leave, nor can they stay here.

"Continue chatting?" Li Ming asked proactively, leading them back to the room.

Ya Luo also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Li Ming and could only watch helplessly.

"Thank you for saving my life just now." Blake thanked him first.

Li Ming smiled and said with a hint of ridicule: "You are from the Interstellar Alliance. If you really die here, I won't be able to explain it."

Blake's old face turned a little red, and several others looked at each other, wondering why this was completely different from what they had planned when they came.

The target has become a lifesaver, how to start?

Blake hesitated, then gritted his teeth: "I, Blake, am not an ungrateful person, but Kay..."

"You can't take Kai away for the time being." Li Ming shook his head, "You can't afford the price I want."

"Then you should give me a price." Blake said.

"Ten billion star coins, black hole network transactions." Li Ming spat out a few words.

"You!" The person behind Blake looked gloomy, as if he wanted to say something, but was holding back his face until he turned red.

The grace of saving my life is right in front of me, but I really can’t shout out.

Blake was also quite uncomfortable, and he smiled helplessly: "Sir, it's useless for you to keep him. The price is really unnecessarily negotiable."

He could predict that if he really quoted this price, he would definitely be scolded bloody.

Li Ming found it quite funny. These people were quite interesting. He didn't let the collector kill them, but these guys became numb.

I'm embarrassed to say harsh words, I'm in a dilemma.

Moral people are still easy to handle.

Kay is indeed useless to him, but it is still very good for fishing for the Star Alliance.

The Interstellar Alliance is indeed a behemoth. Although the anti-predator department is only a part of it, the resources it can use are quite amazing.

Keep this bait so that the other party will keep in contact with him.

He can also do many things with the help of the opponent's resources, such as B-level gene seeds, or some intelligence.

Of course, if the other party really gives him 10 billion, it can be a one-time deal.

"To tell you the truth, I have grown to appreciate Kai very much during this time. Let him stay with me for a while. I will contact you when he wants to leave." Li Ming already had a hint of enthusiasm in his words. The meaning of guest.

Blake hesitated to speak, already feeling that Li Ming's purpose of keeping Kai was not because of himself, but because he had thoughts about them.

But he had no choice but to say: "Okay..."

"Let's exchange contact information and keep in touch at any time." Li Ming further said.

Blake's expression became even more miserable. If the other party asked for information in the future, could he refuse?

After exchanging contact information, Blake left worriedly.

Seeing them leaving, Yaro was really relieved.

Kaye remained silent during this process. Even though he knew that Blake and others might have taken him away, he did not act excessively.

It was only after Blake and others left that he asked Yaro: "Aren't you one of theirs? Why did you deliberately hide your identity?"

Yaro opened his mouth and said helplessly: "I can't help myself."

Kai was thoughtful and suddenly strode toward Li Ming's room.

"What are you doing?" Yaro's face twitched and he hurriedly followed.

Li Ming came out of the room and met Kai and Yaro who looked anxious. He raised his eyebrows.

"Do you want to judge the evolution of the Holy Blade and the secret secrets of liberation?" Kai looked solemn.

"Oh." Li Ming became interested and let the two of them into the room. After closing the door, he asked with interest: "Did you sternly refuse before? How come you suddenly figured it out?"

"Learned from you." Kai looked at people with his nose, because under the mimic mask, his vertical pupils were just above his nose.

"You show your own value and make collectors value you very much. You also take the opportunity to solve the hidden danger of star hunters." Kay analyzed:

"And this is your initiative. You may have to do a lot of things with the help of the collector in the future. You don't mind that you may be under the threat of the collector. You have to give up."

"I am already an exiled nobleman. Apart from my own identity, the most valuable things are the genetic sequence, the theory of evolution and the Secret Code of Liberation."

"Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to lose. Why not use these things to gain enough benefits for myself."

Yaro listened to Kai's tirade and looked at him in surprise.

The smile on Li Ming's face became stronger and stronger, "It's interesting, so what do you want to change?"

"Release me to the Interstellar Alliance. When necessary, I may need your help." Kai said in a deep voice.

"What help?" Li Ming rubbed his chin.

"Revenge!" Kai gritted his teeth, "I want revenge, I want to take back everything that belongs to me, I want those people to die without a burial place!"

"Very good." Li Ming applauded, Kai's expression moved slightly, "Do you agree?"

"Since you want to learn, then I will teach you one more thing, don't expose your needs to anyone too early." Li Ming did not comment, and said lightly:

"For example, this time, your desire for revenge is too obvious, this is your weakness."

"I now know your weakness, so I threaten you. If you don't give me what I want, I will always treat you like this, and I won't kill you, but just keep you by my side, so that you can do whatever you want. I can't do anything, and I'm wasting time."

"It must be very tormenting for a person who is eager for revenge but can't do anything."

Kay panicked and forced himself to calm down: "The Interstellar Alliance will always negotiate with you, so you don't have to keep me."

Li Ming smiled and said: "But people are greedy. I may want more, or I just have a simple bad taste."

"Also, how long can your anger for revenge last without being exhausted?"

Kay was silent. He had already discovered this. Although he had been wearing a gene suppressor, this kind of life where he didn't have to think about anything and just had to obey the arrangements was very comfortable, and even made him feel nostalgic.

"So, no matter what you want to do, don't tell others casually unless you already have a plan." Li Ming added.

"I've learned from you." Kai bowed, took a long breath, and then said with a little excitement: "So, you agree?"

There was a bit of respect in his words.

Li Ming grinned, "Agree, what do you want to agree to? You don't understand what I mean. I'm threatening you."

"Hand over the theory of evolution, and I can open the gene inhibitor for you, so that you can develop gene seeds. This is a painful process. I believe that in this painful process, you will make the fire of revenge more and more vigorous."

Yaro's mouth twitched wildly, staring at Kai, fearing that he would suddenly go crazy.

Kay obviously didn't react, and then his face showed a complex reaction of multiple emotions. After a long silence, he said hoarsely: "Okay, I agree."

Li Ming threw out a USB flash drive and unlocked the gene inhibitor on his body at the same time, and warned: "We are all under house arrest by the collector now. Don't try to leave here, otherwise I can't save you."

"I understand." Kai turned away expressionlessly.
