This is not mechanical ascension.

Putting away this Tepper mecha, Li Ming thought about upgrading the Tank Guard 211 to Class C first, and 70,000 metal energy was lost.

[Tank Guard-- Type 1 Heavy Combat Mecha--Class C: A mecha with almost no weapon modules, and excellent defensive performance.

Control effect: Defense enhancement--250%

Control ability-Tank Guard: 500% defense enhancement. 】

As a Class C armor, the Tank Guard is relatively mediocre.

The overall appearance has changed greatly, the heavy silver combat armor has become a real mecha, and the alloy on the surface is seamless.

No longer connected by fiber lining, all the joints have become alloy transmission structures, plus coupled hydraulic power assistance.

The whole is like a solid iron block, giving people an unparalleled sense of security.

Pure defense enhancement, this one alone, brings Li Ming nearly eight times, and the toughness of the skin has changed significantly, as if it has become a soft alloy.

Before it was over, Li Ming strengthened the heavy earth mother ore on the Tank Guard mecha.

The khaki light enveloped the entire combat mecha, as if it was carefully carved by a pair of invisible hands. The metal powder floated around, forming a yellow electric whirlwind around, and finally merged into it.

Finally, the Tanwei completely changed. The thick iron mountain was much thinner, and the silver alloy parts on the surface were covered with layers of khaki lines.

[Tankwei Heavy Combat Mecha--Class C: Defense armor with almost no weapon modules, strengthened by heavy earth mother ore, the defense performance is almost extreme.

…

Control effect: Defense blessing--300%

Control ability-Tankwei: Bless 500% defense, and get stone skin blessing. 】

Stone skin?

Li Ming's mind was slightly shocked, and he immediately switched control, and then tried to use this ability.

Suddenly, he felt a strange feeling in his body, and his tender skin gradually turned grayish white, as if covered with a layer of stone skin, more solid.

This made his defense rise again by more than one level. In this case, D-level life forms will definitely not be able to break his defense, and it is hard to say for C-level life forms with low development levels.

And there is also the 5% physical damage reduction brought by [Solid as a Rock].

However, if you want to upgrade the tank guard again, the metal energy required has reached 900,000, a terrifying number.

However, the upgrade is not over yet, and another 70,000 points of metal energy have been lost.

[G-A2 Strong Generative Constructed Crystal Shield-C-level: Faster construction speed, more accurate coverage area.

…

Control effect: Defense blessing--250%

Control ability-Constructed Crystal Shield: It can form a defensive crystal shield covering a range of 5 meters within the range of 2 meters of the body. 】

Originally there were only three constructed crystals, but now there are five, the surface is smoother, the diamond structure is clearly layered, and the interior is crystal clear.

Another 250% defense blessing. After switching, Li Ming felt that the stone skin was much more solid again. With a slight movement of his mind, a layer of blue crystal shield emerged and enveloped his body.

Come again! Another 80,000 points of metal energy flowed.

[Silver-gray high-speed nanoparticles--C level: armor that was impregnated with silver-gray mother ore and turned into nanoparticles, after multiple upgrades.

………

Control effect: physical strength blessing--300%

Control ability--fusion: silver-gray particles can be fused with any control object of the same level, doubling its performance without occupying the control column]

The surging nanoparticles are like waves.

And! 90,000 points of metal can be smashed in.

[Thunder armored exoskeleton--C level: After an ordinary machine repair lathe, mixed with cloud thunder mother ore, it has been upgraded many times.

…

Control effect: strength blessing-200%

Control ability-armored four arms: derive six mechanical arms to assist in combat, and bless 100% thunder element control. 】

During the upgrade, the electromagnetic storm became more intense, and the ions surged, even causing the lights in the room to flash. The laboratory worker asked him what happened through voice, but he evaded the question.

It's still not over yet, the last one is 100,000 metal energy.

[Justice Gauntlet--C-level: Fist of Justice, only falls on sinners!

...

Control ability: Strength blessing--200%

Control effect-Justice Fighting: Additional blessing of 500% strength]

The original light golden metal gloves turned into alloy gauntlets covering the entire arm, and the palm part was as big as a basketball.

This thing is a data monster, the strength blessing is relatively "expensive", at the same level, the defense blessing can reach up to 300%, but the strength is only 200%.

This one is 700% strength blessing.

A full 410,000 points of metal energy fell down, in exchange for a reborn strength.

Switch the control objects to [Tank Guard Armor], [Justice Gauntlet], [Magnetic Boots], [Silver Gray Particles]...

This is his current comprehensive combat form, eight times defense blessing plus stone skin ability, seven times strength blessing, three times physical strength, six times speed blessing.

Strength, defense, speed, and physical strength are all available.

The last one can be replaced at will, [Thunder Exoskeleton], [Prism Ion Sword], [Tepper Mech], focusing on strength, speed or defense.

In this state, it should be possible to play with the life form that has just merged with the C-level gene seed, and the difference in various data is not big.

Of course, this is just a combat style. If you stack one aspect alone, it will be more terrifying, but except for the speed enhancement, which can be stacked with a few pairs of shoes, the rest are quite different.

The mechanical heavy hammer I found last time when I went to Professor Xia's place was pretty good. It had passive power. I asked Ding Hui to get a few for me. He kept it in mind.

Of course, this combat state is only the first form.

With a thought, the heavy tank armor emerged, and silver nanoparticles roamed on the surface, like a tide, stirring up waves.

Five prism crystals were suspended around, shooting out crystal lines, quickly forming a crystal shield.

Six sturdy blue mechanical arms slowly extended from behind, with arcs surging on the surface, and the ends turned into energy beamers, which could mimic arcs into electromagnetic palms and even shoot out energy beams.

In his hand was a prismatic ion sword, and as his mind moved slightly, the tank armor on his body and the prismatic ion sword in his hand were all stirred up with the light of thunder and fire.

Boom!

The thunder and fire soared into the sky, lingering around, stirring up circles of ripples, and the floor was completely blown up, with a terrifying breath, like a thunder and flame knight.

"In this state, I should be able to play with C-level life forms that are no more than 60% developed." Li Ming pondered, "Facing C-level life forms that have awakened their core abilities, it shouldn't be a big problem to save my life."

Concrete use is a very important part of his combat power. His whole body is covered with C-level weapons. Defense and offense are not a problem, but the speed is a bit slow.

In this state, he can completely make up for this with five pairs of shoes.

None of the control objects he upgraded was wasted, and they all played their due role.

With 200,000 metal energy left, he hesitated whether to upgrade his shoes, but shook his head after a moment.

A pair of C-level shoes consumes 60,000 metal energy, which can increase the overall speed by 300%, but the second pair is greatly discounted, the active ability cannot be superimposed, and the passive only increases the blessing by 100%.

The consumption is too high and the benefits are not much, so it is better to wait until he becomes a big player before upgrading.

"I can run and fight." Li Ming nodded with satisfaction, and he has taken a solid step towards the control object route he expected.

As his development progresses, his body data will increase, and after being amplified by the control object, every 1% of development progress will bring him a huge improvement.

The only problem is the cooling time of switching the control object. The improvement of strength only unlocks the control bar, but cannot shorten the time.

He feels that this thing should be able to shorten it, but he has not found a way yet.

While Li Ming was busy improving his strength.

In Luochuan's office, he received a call.

But he was not polite, and he cursed: "Who asked you to kill Fu Zongchen? At this sensitive moment, you made such a big mess. What if it leads to bad consequences!"

"..."

He didn't give the other party a chance to speak, and his saliva sprayed everywhere.

"Shut up!" The other party finally caught the opportunity and angrily hit back: "You took the wrong medicine, I'm still outside catching interstellar pirates, how can I go back and kill Fu Zongchen."

"I just didn't answer your call this morning, and you put such a big accusation on me?"

"Wait... Fu Zongchen is dead?" The other party was finally confused again.

"You didn't kill him?" Luo Chuan was suspicious, "I thought it was the teacher who ordered you to kill Fu Zongchen."

"The teacher hasn't talked to me for more than half a year." The other party sneered: "You really think highly of me. What's wrong with Fu Zongchen?"

"I went to his inaugural dinner. He was giving an impassioned speech, but I don't know who shot him in the head." Luo Chuan simply said:

"Zhu Yunshen immediately blocked the entire villa. General Ren Cangsong also came and checked inside and outside. No bullet holes were found, no firearms were found, nothing was found."

"Nothing was found?" The other party became more and more suspicious: "Zhu Yunshen is fine, but the guys under Ren Cangsong are not vegetarians."

"Ballistic trajectory reversed? Particle tracing? Three-dimensional state simulation?"

"All the methods that can be used have been used. According to Zhu Yunshen, there are contradictions everywhere, unless someone can control the bullet to turn." Luo Chuan shook his head: "But even so, where is the gun?"

"Psychokinetic person? Directly control the bullet?" He said again.

"If the bullet can be controlled so that even the surveillance camera can't capture it, what level of superpower do you think this speed is?" Luo Chuan said faintly.

The other party was silent for a moment, and sighed: "It seems that Fu Zongchen has offended a ruthless person this time, but you think too highly of me, I'm not at this level yet."

"In fact, there is another bizarre thing." Luo Chuan hesitated: "The armor that Prince Baijian gave to Fu Zongchen was stolen."

"Ren Cangsong and Zhu Yunshen turned everyone upside down. Those who were at the scene were not small figures. As a result, they even turned over their underwear, but found nothing."

"Wow..." The other party couldn't help but exclaimed: "Where did this cross-river dragon come from? At least it must be a B-level life form. I feel that there must be more than one, at least two, and they must work together inside and outside to complete this plan."

"The question is, who can invite two B-level life forms to kill Fu Zongchen?" Luo Chuan said helplessly.

"It can't be, teacher?" The other party hesitated.

"I asked, no." Luo Chuan smiled bitterly: "Fu Zongchen is not worth the teacher's effort."

The two of them didn't come to a conclusion after discussing it for a while. After a rare chat, the other party asked about Li Ming again.

"…Level 16 development potential, what do you think?" Luo Chuan said lightly.

"What!?" He screamed, "If nothing goes wrong, it's almost 100% possible to become an A-level life form. Where did the teacher find such a heaven-defying guy?"

"Can the genetic level of our Blue Star produce such high potential?"

"You are surprised by what you have seen before." Luo Chuan sneered.

The two chatted for a while before Luo Chuan hung up the call, frowning, wondering who did it.

...

Three days later, a piece of news shocked the Blue Star civilization. Candidate committee member Fu Zongchen was stabbed to death, causing an uproar.

A senior spokesperson of Blue Star said that the person who attacked Fu Zongchen was most likely the terrorist organization of the Silver Star Cluster - Torch.

They severely reprimanded Torch and remembered Fu Zongchen.

...

"Huh... After lurking for five days, he was finally killed." The melodious classical music sounded in the bar. The cripple breathed a sigh of relief, walked around the corpses lying on the ground with fatigue, and sat on a high stool.

He leaned forward, took out half a bottle of wine from the bar, poured it for himself, tasted it, felt it was not right, stood up and took a few ice cubes from the bucket into the cup, drank it again, and nodded with satisfaction.

He pulled off the chain around his neck, and struggled to get the old smart terminal out from under the drawer.

He took a photo, opened the black hole network, and was about to submit the task, but was startled by the dense red dot messages.

"Fuck, old cripple, you are really awesome!"

"You are our hero!"

"..."

"What the hell?" He frowned, thinking something had happened. He turned to the bottom message notification, which caught his attention. It was from Li Ming - "Mission completed"

He was stunned, his pupils contracted, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, his breathing was rapid, the beating of his heart roared in his ears, he trembled and opened the star network, and the first message pushed confirmed his guess.

"Really... killed him." The cripple's voice trembled, and he felt that something that was pressing on him had completely disappeared.

...

In the south of Beijing, Fu Zongchen's villa was still under strict guard. Various high-end instruments were called in, such as sound wave detection, high-frequency capture, and particle oscillators.

Zhu Yunshen rubbed his palms, and sparks flew in front of his eyes. A group of city guards were holding plasma welding guns and slowly cutting the door of the safe in front of them.

It had lasted for two days. As the circular incisions were connected into a line, the door of the safe was cut out, and a small opening that could barely accommodate the mechanical dog was cut in.

The intelligent mechanical dog was awakened and jumped in from the small opening, ready to open the door of the safe from the inside.

However, when the mechanical dog landed and unfolded, the video transmitted by the 360-degree panoramic video shocked everyone present.

"Minister..."

Zhu Yunshen frowned, walked quickly to the screen, and his face suddenly changed, "How could it be like this!?"

The vault was in a mess, with traces of burns everywhere, and solidified iron slurry flowed all over the floor, with almost nothing left.

Someone had already visited.

Zhu Yunshen's face was extremely ugly, and he was beaten to the punch again. Like the armor, he disappeared inexplicably.

"It should have been stolen before Commissioner Fu died. All the people coming and going are under our surveillance. It is impossible for anyone to move out." Some subordinates speculated.

Zhu Yunshen rubbed his eyebrows and felt tired, as if he was being played in the palm of someone's hand.

"Collect data analysis and report to the investigation team." He waved his hand, with little interest.

The death of Fu Zongchen is still under investigation, and an investigation team has even been formed.

And the so-called murderer "Torch" is just an explanation to the outside world.

………

The outside world is full of twists and turns, while Li Ming stays in the laboratory, regardless of the wind and rain. He goes back and forth between the two points every day, and keeps developing gene seeds.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed since the death of Fu Zongchen and You Ke.
