This is not mechanical ascension.

"The honeymoon period is almost over. It's normal not to want to give." Li Ming thought for a moment.

The collector wants him to work for him instead of providing him with various conveniences. When he first came into contact, he didn't mind giving him a little sweetness, but now he is no longer willing to give him more benefits.

This was what he expected. He shook his head and continued to develop gene seeds.

The floating islands in the Land of Stars move according to special trajectories, with various aircraft flying non-stop.

During the period when Star King disappeared, a lot of them were broken due to various reasons. Several A-level life forms, including the Collector, tried to reproduce the floating island transformation technology, but they were unable to achieve 100% success. reduction.

Five days later, Sabo arrived, carrying a metal box.

The two of them had a tacit understanding, and Li Ming invited him into the room. Sabo looked a little hesitant, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Li Ming took the initiative and said, "What did the adult behind you say?"

When Sabo heard this, he immediately said, "My lord, let me thank you first."

Li Ming smiled lightly and nodded, waiting for the next words.

Saber was also very sensible. He picked up the box he brought and opened it. Liquid nitrogen cold air flowed out, covering the ground with a layer of white mist, and the temperature dropped a few points.

Is it a cooling box? Li Ming was surprised.

Saber, on the other hand, used the metal pliers placed in the sandwich of the box to clamp out a test tube filled with black medicine.

Facing Li Ming's puzzled gaze, he explained: "[Whale Source Reagent], this is a genetic medicine made from the heart essence of the dome whale."

Li Ming observed carefully, and found that the density was quite high, with dots of stars, like a bright galaxy.

Li Ming had never heard of this kind of creature, and his eyes subconsciously showed suspicion, and he did not take it immediately.

Sabo saw Li Ming's hesitation, and immediately opened the smart terminal, opened the Black Hole Network in front of him, and clicked on a piece of information that he had just purchased.

Li Ming took it and found that it was the basic information about the dome whale, which was no different from what the other party said.

The dome whale is a gregarious interstellar creature. The strength level of an adult body can reach up to A-level life forms.

Its heart essence has extremely special effects and can stimulate the genes of most living organisms and bring about enhanced effects.

When this was discovered, there was a whaling craze among the stars, and due to large-scale hunting, it is now a key protected species of the Star Alliance.

Due to the particularity of genetic evolution, most enhancement drugs have the risk of inducing genetic aberrations.

Reagents that do not affect the genetic sequence of a living body and can enhance its strength are extremely rare even in the vast interstellar space.

Li Ming nodded, but still did not accept it, but said: "I dare not accept such a precious gift casually."

"You may have guessed the specific situation." Sabo carefully put the reagent back, and then whispered: "I would like to ask you to take action and repair the owner of that arm."

"Repaired?" Li Ming was not surprised, but he still shook his head: "Maybe I didn't make it clear enough before. The cost of repairing it is too high. These three tubes of potion are far from enough."

After Sabo left last time, he roughly estimated that the information on the Black Hole Network stated that the Star King was a fully modified mechanical body.

Not counting the additional mechanical components, only the modified parts of his whole body are intended to completely eliminate the erosion of the nano-mechanical insects.

It requires no less than one billion metal energy. This amount is too terrifying. It is equivalent to controlling his whole body, maybe more.

Not to mention these three tubes of medicine, thirty tubes, three hundred tubes are not enough.

"I understand..." Sabo was not surprised and said at the same time: "These things are just a greeting gift for the adults and a small reward for the last repair."

"Oh?" Li Ming was slightly stunned. Is that Star King so wealthy?

In this case, he did not lie, and stretched out his hand to pick it up. Saber paused, and while handing the box out, he said: "Your Excellency's situation is special, and the price he has paid is something that even he cannot bear now."

Li Ming stopped moving. Did he really want to prostitute me for nothing? After I take it, do I have to pay on credit?

He emphasized: "Let me tell you first, I'm not stingy. The last time I cleaned that arm, I consumed a lot of inventory. I will not accept advance payment."

"Your Majesty doesn't mean to completely repair it. You just need to make him move so that he can get back more leftover things to pay for it," Sabo explained.

Li Ming was relieved and took the cooling box. He was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that the Star King could no longer move.

Ordinary civilization may not have such means. As a king who rules the land of stars, he is definitely not a simple A-level life form.

The divided land of stars is now ruled by five A-level life forms, let alone the past.

"Does he want to move?" Li Ming pondered, "I haven't seen the specific injury, and I can't estimate how far it will be repaired before he can move."

Saber immediately said: "My lord has been deeply corroded for many years. He knows that he only needs to repair his energy engine to about 30%, and the other mechanical components can probably be activated after a little cleaning."

"What do you need as payment? Star coins? Or something else?"

He then asked, on the one hand, he came here to confirm the other party's attitude, whether he was willing to practice, and whether the existence of Star King would be exposed.

On the other hand, it is to show goodwill, and the other is to determine what Li Ming needs.

"Well, it's best to give me metal materials. The more precious the better." Li Ming thought. Giving him star coins must be a black hole network transaction. He also has to buy materials and use them as leeks.

At the same time, he made up a simple reason: "Those nano-machine bugs are only sensitive to metal materials, so... it's more complicated to explain, you understand."

"Precious metal materials..." Saber was relieved when he heard Li Ming's request. As a mechanical modified body, Star King can't avoid repairs.

At the peak, he had accumulated a lot of metal materials, and some secret places still hide a lot of things.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows, not to mention the former ruler of the Land of Stars.

"Okay, I understand, I will send the things as soon as possible." Saber nodded and left in a hurry.

When he reached the dock, Saber paused, suddenly thinking of something, looking back, and muttered: "I almost forgot to tell him to inject under supervision."

However, considering the current situation, he shook his head, "After all, there will be no problem with a B-level life form."

He himself is a medical technician who is proficient in medicine, and he is very confident.

That great mechanic Jessia and Ulrich seemed to be each other's subordinates. I don't know what trouble they caused to be beaten like this.

In the room, Li Ming thought about it and turned to look at the cooling box in his hand.

The other party still relies on him to save his life, so this thing should be fine.

Li Ming did not hesitate, picked up a tube of reagent, and injected it into his body. He could clearly feel the cold liquid swimming around his body, causing severe pain, blue veins near his temples rioting, and muscle fibers seemed to be torn.

Li Ming clenched his teeth and gasped. After a long time, his body was filled with heat again, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.

"Does it hurt so much?" Li Ming frowned, but he felt no discomfort in his body. He felt that his body had indeed strengthened a lot, very clearly.

[Whale Source Reagent] requires at least three tubes to cause qualitative changes, and at most three tubes can be injected, otherwise there will be a risk of genetic abnormalities.

This time, the accurate data was obtained under a large number of experiments.

After a rest, Li Ming injected the remaining [Whale Source Reagent] into his body. More black liquid mixed into his blood. He had a burst of palpitations, some subtle parts of his body began to change, and black appeared under his eyes.

After the injection, Li Ming's body stiffened, and a complex feeling of cold and heat exploded in his body. If the pain before was just a small river, now it was a surging sea.

His feet were unstable, staggering, holding on to the sofa and lying down, panting, and beads of sweat rolled down.

Gritting his teeth, the nerve endings of his whole body transmitted the churning and tearing pain to his brain, and every blood vessel was beating and bulging.

He felt that his whole body was torn apart. This was not an illusion. The surface of his skin was really cracked with blood marks, flames, arcs, and storms gushed out, raging in the room.

"Fuck, no!" Li Ming's only consciousness made him open the control bar, switch to the strongest control system at present, and then activate [Field Medical Care]

The reason why he didn't use the medical system directly was because his current medical system's recovery blessing was not high.

It's better to use the combat power system, then activate [Thunder Frenzy], and then convert the thunder element blessing into recovery blessing.

In an instant, he felt the warm power flowing through his body, the pressure on his body suddenly lightened, his heart beat more strongly, and the twenty-fold recovery blessing was quite obvious.

The cracks on the surface of the skin began to repair at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, the pain was slightly reduced, and his injuries were almost healed.

Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt his eyes dry. After rubbing them, he felt that the world in front of him suddenly became clear.

The dust in the corner, the traces of the arc on the wall, the hair floating in the air, everything seemed to be clearly visible, and the perception seemed to have improved a lot.

His heart moved slightly, and after opening the control bar, he couldn't help but be startled.

[After deep stimulation, [Field Doctor] has changed, please check. ]

He looked and found that the recovery blessing increased from 200% to 300%.

The recovery blessing ratio of [Field Medical Care] increased from 50% to 70%.

He had already experienced the powerful effect of the recovery blessing. The serious injury just now could be quickly repaired. Now it is further improved and the effect is even stronger.

It can even be said that the physical energy consumption of using various abilities is almost equal to the recovery speed.

"It can actually improve the professional effect in this way. I have to pay special attention to it in the future." He remembered it in his heart and couldn't help clenching his fists. The swelling feeling coming from his body was very clear.

The change of [Field Doctor] is only one aspect.

He walked to the energy level detector in the corner of the room and smashed it with a bang.

"67C!"

The energy level increased by about 15%. Li Ming estimated, "The development progress is 30%, the energy level is close to 70C, and it should reach the lowest energy level standard of Class B at 60%."

He was in a good mood, but the severe pain just now still bothered him. He opened the black hole network again and bought an extra copy of relevant information.

After reading it word by word, Li Ming knew where the problem was.

"Concentration..." Li Ming was speechless. Since the dome whale is already a key protected animal of the Interstellar Alliance, such detailed data has long been out of circulation.

Saber showed him basic data.

According to different life levels, the tolerable concentration of the drug is also different. Class B life can withstand 75% concentration.

But the upper limit of C-level life is 50%. He suspected that the concentration of the drug should be 75%, because he appeared to be a B-level life, and Saber might not care about this problem at all.

It was a misunderstanding, and he couldn't blame them, but this information made him understand the [Whale Source Reagent] better.

One injection is enough, and it will play a corresponding role as the life level increases.

The academic term is "broadening the genetic width of the life body."

It is also an important reason why the dome whale was almost hunted to extinction. For example, the refined potion of the Itlan civilization needs to be re-injected at each level.

And this one, one injection is enough, the difference between the two is self-evident.

"There are a lot of good things, I hope it can bring me more metal energy." This time the harvest is good, and this is just the gift from the star king.

He doesn't have much metal energy, and it has been consumed, basically turning into his strength and foundation.

Two more days passed, and Saber didn't come, but Li Ming, who developed the gene seed, waited for an unexpected call.

"Blake?" Li Ming was quite surprised, looking at the virtual screen that popped up on the bracelet, and it was still a video call.

This field agent of the anti-plunder department of the Interstellar Alliance should have avoided him since he left here last time.

"Are you really going to spend 10 billion to buy Kai?" Li Ming muttered, and chose to answer the call.

Blake, with a solemn expression, popped up, and before he opened his mouth, he heard a sentence.

"Has the 10 billion been approved?"

Blake almost couldn't hold it in, his face was slightly dark, and he coughed twice, "Sir Qinglong, please don't joke."

"No..." Li Ming said disappointedly, "Then why did you contact me suddenly?"

"I came here because of important news." Blake put his hands behind his back, "We received a tip-off that the Torch Organization seems to be very interested in you recently."

"Oh..." Li Ming frowned slightly, why is it this lingering organization again.

He was quite afraid of this organization, mainly because those dimensional creatures with unpredictable abilities were difficult to infer with common sense.

"The Torch Organization is looking for a great mechanic recently. There are suspected to be several great mechanics in contact with them in several nearby star clusters." Blake briefly introduced, looking at the big face on the screen, and was a little shocked.

No wonder this guy was able to call the collector for protection directly at the beginning, it turned out to be a great mechanic.

When he learned about the relevant information afterwards, he felt a little scared, but also confused. How could a master mechanic hide his identity and hang out in the Land of Stars?

The Torch Organization is looking for the master mechanic? Li Ming's mind seemed to flash with sparks, and he immediately thought of the Torch attack on Asmara's research laboratory.
