"Once you get the super powerful weapons from the ancient empire-level civilization, you will be able to dominate the land of the stars, just around the corner!"

"The corpse of a fallen A-class life form can easily reveal the secrets of evolution."

"..."

The information in the regional network of the Land of Stars is constantly refreshing, and the period after the end of the Red River New Waterfall is also very lively.

Obtained from it, a large number of unknown broken items will circulate crazily in the land of stars.

At the same time, collectors and agents from various civilizations who have heard about it will also receive goods during this period.

Many looters will make a lot of money from this, and they won't have to go out to work for several months, so the various titles are extremely exaggerated, but most of the things in the pictures are difficult to decipher.

Li Ming originally wanted to see if he could pick up the leak, but he soon gave up the idea because the things in circulation were too complicated and he didn't have time to identify them.

Floating Island No. 113 has changed drastically. Many metal warehouses have been stacked up out of thin air. They are about two meters high. The metal shells are painted in blue and white and are composed of precise mechanical structures.

Most of them have multi-functional robotic arms. These tool arms can be quickly converted from laser cutters to giant lifting devices to cope with various complex work scenarios.

[Tiangong Series - Elementary], this is a construction machinery body designed by Li Ming alone. The technology is not too complicated, and it is even hydraulically driven, with almost no means of killing.

Therefore, there are only E-level evaluations. During the design, Li Ming designed them towards a complete mechanical body.

Therefore, the metal energy required for [Mechanical Construction] is not much, only about twice that required for control.

As for why these finished mechanical products were reassembled.

It was because Li Ming discovered that the mechanical body constructed using professional abilities was more like a mechanical life form than a programmed one.

There is no need to write instructions through the underlying code, only verbal commands are required. It has advanced data processing and strategic analysis capabilities, extremely high understanding capabilities, and will not be hacked.

It's simply a perfect tool, and it's worth spending some metal energy on it.

Two days later, Li Ming's development progress reached 25%. The development speed of forty-two times was quite obvious. It had only increased by 7% in the past month, but it had increased by 8% in the past half month.

By mid-afternoon, the nebulae gathered, and the land of stars was shrouded in thin red stardust. Cassis came. The guard captain acted resolutely and came to take away the three things Li Ming had repaired.

After carefully putting these three items into the box, Cassis said: "Your Excellency Qinglong, Master Collector asked me to take you to see him. Please pack them up and leave with me."

"Huh?" Li Ming was originally wondering why Cassis didn't bring the next batch of things that needed to be repaired when she came this time, but now it suddenly dawned on her.

"What happened?" he asked, "Why do you want to see me suddenly?"

Cassis' face was expressionless: "I don't know the specific reason. I'm just conveying the Lord Collector's order. Please clean up quickly and don't keep the Lord Collector waiting."

Li Ming shook his head: "I have nothing to deal with, let's go."

Cassis paused slightly, and Li Ming followed him and boarded the small aircraft, followed closely by two rows of guard members.

Ulrich's lair is in the center of Trading Island, covering a huge area and is a huge metal castle.

The shiny black shell reflects the sun's rays and looks like countless steel towers spliced ​​together.

The towering metal obelisk points to the sky, and the architectural structure has sharp edges and corners, giving it a precise and rigorous mechanical feel.

In addition to the large area of ​​iron gray, black and red paint extends along the edges, adding a slight beauty to this heavy castle.

Entering from the side door, the metal corridor is extremely long, with many exquisite decorations placed on both sides, and huge paintings or holographic projections hung on it.

Li Ming had already turned on [Intelligent Assistance] and remembered every corner of this building in his heart.

Arriving at a gate deep in the castle, the thin and tall Hortan was already waiting here. He took three metal boxes from Cassis and nodded to Li Ming: "Your Excellency, come with me."

The metal door behind opened a gap, and there was a sound coming out--

"Are you sure this thing was obtained from the Red River Star Waterfall?"

Entering the hall, Hortan waved his hand gently to signal him to stop temporarily, and the two stood in the corner.

Not far away, there was a figure with his back to them. He looked like a predator. He was wearing a worn-out leather jacket with light armor that had been repaired many times. He had a bald head.

"Master Collector, how dare I lie to you? I got this thing from the Red River Star Waterfall." The bald man promised again and again.

On the steps, there was another person standing next to Ulrich. He was a mechanically modified body. A large area of ​​his body had been mechanically modified. Only his chest was still flesh on his limbs. To be more precise, half of his body.

Because its heart part has some kind of power engine of a positive six-pointed star, shining with blue light.

The opponent did not use mimic skin to camouflage, and the surface reflected a cold metallic luster, as if it were made of solidified liquid metal.

There were no modifications above the neck, and he had a stern appearance. His blue hair was combed behind his back, but his eyes were light blue, and he had obviously been modified.

Li Ming noticed a faint sense of gaze and glanced over him. His slender mechanical arms held the broken visor, which looked to be extremely rusty and reddish-brown.

"This kind of waste has no value." Ulrich said calmly, with a unique laziness in his tone.

"If it's not valuable, you won't see me anymore." The bald man said boldly, "I know the origin of this object. Decades ago, when I was young, I met Lord Star King..."

Li Ming could clearly see that both Ulrich and the mechanical transformation had obvious reactions when they heard the name.

Star King... his name is quite domineering, Li Ming listened quietly.

"It turns out he's still an old guy from the Land of Stars." Ulrich didn't feel embarrassed when his little trick was exposed, but was surprised. "Then you should know that this metal mask cannot flow out of the Red River Star Falls."

Since his back was to Li Ming, it was difficult for him to see the bald man's expression. He was silent for a moment and then said: "Don't you, Master Collector, always not ask about the source of things, but only quote prices?"

"Yes, yes..." Ulrich apologized: "Sorry, I'm just curious."

"So, how about one million star coins?"

"One million?" The bald man's voice was full of disbelief: "This is the metal visor worn by Star King, only one million star coins?"

"That's right, so it's still worth a million. You see, this metal visor has been rusted into disarray, and its original material properties are gone." Ulrich explained, paused, and then said helplessly: "

This is not a work of art. If he were still alive, the price might be much higher. "

The mechanically modified body frowned slightly, its pupils rotated and then shrank, and said indifferently: "Five million, I'll take it."

Ulrich laughed "haha", but the bald man did not respond, as if he was waiting for Ulrich's offer.

It wasn't until he was sure that Ulrich really had no interest that he gritted his teeth and said, "Five million is five million..."

After confirming that the star coins had arrived, the bald man turned around and looked really young. When he saw the two of them, he looked a little stunned, and then left in a hurry.

Ulrich said: "Tsk, five million, even though it was worn by Lord Star King, but apart from this, it seems to be worthless."

The mechanical modification said indifferently, and his voice was like a metal magnet resonating: "How can the things of Lord Star King be measured by money?"

"That person should have been a member of the "Star Ring" once, but now he has been reduced to selling the Star King's belongings."

Ulrich said casually: "People have to live, and holding this thing is useless."

"Ulrich..." The mechanical transformation stared at him coldly.

Huo Tan stepped forward at the right time and said, "Sir, His Excellency Qinglong is here."

Ulrich nodded, then introduced: "Qinglong, this is the mechanical cavalry - Jesiah, an A-level mechanical transformation, and also a great mechanic."

Li Ming was slightly surprised, then nodded: "Your Excellency Jesiah."

Jesiah was holding the metal visor with a nostalgic look on his face. He just said "hmm" lightly and didn't even look at him.

Ulrich said: "Jacea, this is Qinglong, a mechanic... a great mechanic."

Jesiah paused slightly, put down the metal mask, and looked at Li Ming, then he said with a hint of appraising, "Great Mechanic?"

Obviously, he didn't believe it, but he didn't refute it.

The blue pupils kept shrinking, and a large amount of data was captured and divided.

After a while, his expression became more cautious, and he was a little surprised. His electronic eyes could not see through the mimic mask worn by this person. It was not a simple mimic mask.

Li Ming also felt a strong sense of peeping, but his mimicry mask had been upgraded a few days ago. It used a mother ore to cover his upper body and gain new abilities.

[Mimicry--You can adjust the posture data of the upper body and gain the "phantom" ability. 】

This ability can simulate a virtual body to interfere with the enemy, and when used in reality, it will be more difficult to detect his disguise.

But Jesiah was still suspicious. Great mechanics were not common.

In particular, he knew most of the great mechanics from several nearby star clusters. He had not heard of any great mechanics coming to the Land of Stars recently.

And this person doesn't seem to have the qualities of a great mechanic. What's more important is that Ulrich's attitude towards this person is less like a cooperating great mechanic and more like a subordinate?

"Jessiah, where is that thing?" Ulrich said, "I don't know where you got it from. I really can't see any clues. Can you let the Azure Dragon Great Mechanic take a look at it?"

Li Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. No wonder he came to him. It turned out that he had lost face and asked him to come and regain his reputation.

Is he really a great mechanic?

Jesiah could feel Ulrich's confidence and looked at Li Ming again.

"Since you are so confident, let's give it a try." Jesiah flipped his arm and took out a triangular metal body from behind, which was composed of a precise mechanical structure.

"If you see it, this thing doesn't belong to you." Ulrich further said,

Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and he also smiled: "You two actually have this kind of bet, then I really got a big deal. Just by looking at it, I can get a precious item."

Ulrich's expression changed slightly, and Jesiah seemed a little surprised, and then immediately said: "Yes, if you can really figure out the origin of this thing, it will be yours."

Ulrich managed to maintain his grace, "Although I exchanged it for something, if you can tell, I'll give it to you."

There must be a bet between the two. His things were obtained by Jesiah, but he could not recognize Jesiah's things.

Li Ming had a rough idea in his mind, but how could he not take the opportunity to make a fortune?

Ulrich couldn't ask for it directly. A-level life forms need to save face.

He clearly controlled Ulrich's mentality. This collector was not a fool. He couldn't really treat him as a tool. That would only backfire.

Instead, he kept using light oppression and occasional benefits to pull each other to make him work for him.

In other words, as long as he didn't touch his bottom line, Ulrich could only hold it in.

The moment Li Ming took the triangular metal block from Jessiah, his heart moved--

[Mechanical Knight Core--Consumable: Internal modification module of a certain mechanical transformation body.

Control conditions: 1 million metal energy

Control effect-professional improvement: Improve knight-related professions. ]

Mechanical Knight? Professional improvement?

Li Ming was quite surprised. It was really a good thing.

"Well... this is..." Li Ming took it and looked up and down, seeming to be undecided.

Jesseya smiled, confident of victory. The universe is so vast that even a great mechanic has his own focus.

He is more proficient in mechanical transformation. He got this thing by chance and figured it out for a long time before figuring out its function.

Without the accumulation of relevant knowledge, a great mechanic would not be able to see its function at a glance.

"This seems to be something that works on mechanical transformation?" Li Ming raised his head and said uncertainly, as if verifying.

Jesseya's expression was slightly stiff, and his mechanical pupils were running at high speed.

"Ha..." Ulrich felt stable when he saw the change in Jesseya's expression, but then he remembered that even if Li Ming could see it, it would not belong to him, and his expression sank again.

"Then what..." Jesseya had a blank expression, "Only these are not enough."

"I can only see that it is some kind of module, belonging to a high-level mechanical transformation for enhancement?" Li Ming said helplessly: "I am not very proficient in mechanical transformation, I can only see here."

Not very proficient? Jesaya's face changed. He himself was a mechanical modified body, and it took him a long time to figure out the approximate function.

This guy saw it at a glance?

"This thing belongs to you." Jesaya said in a deep voice, and he didn't ask for a name or something like that, which would be too embarrassing.

At the same time, he became extremely curious about the person in front of him.

The title of great mechanic is just a general title, and the gold content is different. If this person is really a great mechanic, his level should be not low. How could he fall into Ulrich's hands?
