This is not mechanical ascension.

Why doesn’t the Star Abyss Empire directly intervene in this fight for ruins?

Feeling too shameful? Still really don’t care…

Li Ming's body is running various theories of evolution, and his mind can also think about other things.

Imperial civilization and ordinary civilization are not at the same level at all. Even advanced civilization is still out of reach.

Now the situation is clear. Only Princess Asmara can find the ruins. After the joint fleet was formed, it attracted a lot of people's attention.

Everyone wants to get a piece of the pie, and she probably has the support of the Xingyuan Empire behind her.

But there must be only one person, and there are still people who don't want her to succeed, and even want to pick peaches.

It is said that there are interstellar treasures and the crystallization of civilization in it, which must not be groundless.

Li Ming thought about it and gradually calmed down.

The terrifying size of the combined fleet is clearly visible, as is the main gun that can nearly penetrate the planet.

It is difficult for A-level life forms to escape. He wants to touch these things now, which is too far away. If there is a slight accident, he will die without knowing how.

"There are more than 4 million metal energy left, and there are still a few commonly used items that can be upgraded..."

Shaking his head, Li Ming checked his control bar. In terms of main battle, there was nothing that needed to be upgraded for the time being. However, if he wanted to upgrade to A level, the metal energy was far from enough.

[Soul Mask - Grade B: On some indigenous planets, the wearer is already like a god.

………

Control effect: Hidden blessing--300%

Control ability - psychic shielding: Distort one's specific form under B-level life forms and monitoring equipment at the same level, and gain the "shadow trace" ability]

The broken visor has long been transformed into a complete smooth mask. It is made of dark gray metal and exudes a cold metallic luster. It closely follows the contours of the face, extends from the forehead to the chin, and covers both sides to the ears, forming a closed protective structure.

The eyes are equipped with transparent high-strength synthetic radiant crystals, which are embedded with light golden pattern-like energy pathways to form a radiant stance.

Using the Black Shadow Mother Ore as a strengthening material to upgrade, the upgrade consumes 900,000 metal energy, and the "Shadow Trace" ability obtained allows him to hide better in the dark.

It should be comparable to Serad's mimicry ability. It would be difficult for an A-class life form without special means to see through it under normal circumstances.

There is also the commonly used [Anti-interference Communicator], which has been upgraded to——

[Psychic Resonance Crystal--B: The power of the soul is still one of the most mysterious powers in the interstellar.

………

Control effect: Perception blessing--300%

Control ability - psychic communication: Your voice can appear in the minds of living beings within a range of 100,000 meters, and gain the ability to "shatter". 】

The price is very high, even if it is strengthened with the "Xi Ming Mother Ore", it only costs 500,000.

What he got was an offensive ability. What he originally wanted was an ability on the "psychic" side, such as hypnosis and seduction.

It's a pity that he really doesn't have the spiritual mother lode in his hand, but this ability is not bad. The mind can vibrate, and it can interfere with the opponent at the moment of interference, which is very fatal.

As well as the [Eye of Sky Sight] upgraded from [Locator], this one is slightly more expensive and requires 600,000 metal energy. The control effect is a professional [Scouter].

There are two abilities, [Sensitive Perception: Blessed with 100% perception], and [Extreme Smell: Extremely sensitive to smells]

He tried using it for a while, and almost suffocated himself to death. It took him a while to get used to it.

Naturally, you will not consume control objects to obtain this profession. It comes in handy when you are in control.

[Positioning: Select a target, its position can be locked within a range of 100,000 meters, and the target information can be roughly obtained. 】

Not only can it lock on, but it can also spy on the enemy. Li Ming tried it and could vaguely know the target's life level, abilities and so on.

Those whose life level is lower than his are easier to obtain, while those who are higher than his life level are more difficult to obtain.

After upgrading the three commonly used brothers, the mother ore stock in his hands was exhausted.

With his current relationship with Ulrich, it would be difficult for him to have sex for nothing.

"The mother mine wall..." Li Ming murmured. In Ulrich's treasure house, the mother mine wall often appeared in front of his eyes.

He also went to Ulrich's castle several times, but he never had a suitable opportunity.

It is best to get it done once and for all. There is also a [Material Recombination Maker], which needs to be obtained at the same time, and you have to figure out how to escape.

A-level life forms are very powerful, and he is far from being able to fight them. Even if they use [thermonuclear detonation bombs], they will only be able to survive at best, and it is impossible to fight head-on.

It would be better to have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, but such opportunities are too rare or even non-existent.

"It's a bit troublesome..."

The next day, Sabo came again cautiously. After making sure that nothing happened to Li Ming, he breathed a sigh of relief and then sincerely praised:

"A person as cunning as the Collector can be manipulated by you."

Li Ming waved his hand and threw out the metal arm from yesterday. He hid it in the folding space. Ulrich would have to see a ghost to discover it.

Saber brought his left leg today and asked at the same time: "How long will it take? I won't wait here to avoid accidents."

After many repairs, Star King and Sabo's trust in Li Ming also increased. The collector's sudden visit last time really frightened him and decided to be more careful.

"No, don't leave yet." Li Ming shook his head. He realized that the situation in the Land of Stars was becoming more and more urgent, so he didn't pretend with this guy.

Saber was a little confused. He had been pushed out of the door by Li Ming and could only wait here.

After waiting for most of the day in fear, the door behind him opened.

"Okay, take it away." Li Ming threw both boxes to him.

"Okay, okay?" Saber was confused and didn't react at first. He looked at the box and then at Li Ming.

Li Ming calculated: "Well, left and right hands, energy core, this is a leg, one more leg is missing, torso, and head, right..."

Saber opened the metal box, and the metal limbs in it had indeed been repaired to a certain extent.

He swallowed his saliva and was shocked, but this was too fast?

What was the purpose of waiting for several days before?

His whole body was numb, and he suddenly came to his senses. He looked up and saw Li Ming frowning and staring at him. He hurriedly said, "Yes, yes..."

Saber left in shock, and when he returned to the store and came to the Star King, he was still a little dazed.

"Saber, what's going on? Has Ulrich discovered it?" Monroe's urgent voice came from the room. His condition was much better than at the beginning.

The energy engine in his chest was running all the time, the energy was shining, and the energy pathways in his body were corroded a lot.

But he was an advanced mechanical body after all, and he did not simply rely on energy pathways for energy conduction. The repaired arm was moving all the time.

Saber came back too early, and he looked very wrong. It seemed that he had not come back to his senses yet, which gave him a bad premonition.

The last time Saber came back, he told him that Ulrich's sudden appearance disrupted their plan. Although he was not discovered on the spot, the mechanical arm could only be left with the other party.

After Saber left, he observed from a distance that a small-scale battle seemed to have broken out on the floating island. He didn't know what happened.

This made both of them very worried. Saber even proposed to move, but was stopped by Monroe. If Ulrich really found out, they couldn't run far.

The hope of repair was just around the corner, and he didn't want everything to become a dream bubble again.

"No, no..." Saber hurriedly explained and quickly opened the box, "No accident, Ulrich didn't find it."

Monroe breathed a sigh of relief, but then, the energy engine in his chest suddenly shone brightly, and the violent energy raged along the damaged energy pathway, causing his whole body to twitch.

"How could it be repaired so quickly, and both mechanical limbs are healed?" Monroe's tone was filled with suppressed shock.

Saber smiled bitterly, "That's right. Before, this great mechanic seemed to be afraid that we would be too surprised, so he deliberately delayed the time."

Monroe was silent, and his heart could not calm down for a long time. He was surprised enough to find a way to repair the "Nano Curse" in the Land of Stars.

Nano Curse is a difficult problem to deal with, but the other party was as easy as drinking water. The previous repair time was just for show.

"Where did the great mechanic come from..." Monroe was more and more surprised, "Could it be a Casting Star mechanic?"

But he secretly denied it, "Impossible... Impossible..."

………

After sending Saber away, Li Ming entered a state of concentrated development again. Many goals were in front of him, which really made him want to improve his life level as soon as possible.

The arc flowed, the elemental energy surged, and the radiation on the trading island gradually weakened, entering the night.

Huh? Li Ming's heart suddenly jumped and he opened his eyes suddenly.

Due to the special environment, even when developing gene seeds, he turned on [Intelligent Assistance], even if he needed to occupy a control bar.

And now, there was suddenly a target in the coverage area, falling from the edge of the floating island, with narrow cheeks, indifferent and gloomy, and gray pupils. It was Theo, and the speed was extremely fast.

What was he doing here?

Li Ming's heart trembled. This guy just appeared at the edge of the range. In a few seconds, he was less than 10,000 meters away from him. The next moment, he should be outside the room.

And such a fast speed did not cause a sonic boom, and the guards on guard knew nothing about it.

Li Ming's heart beat violently, and his mind turned like lightning. Theo came secretly and had bad intentions. Now it was impossible to run.

Fight?

Using [Thermonuclear Fusion Bomb] might be able to resist for a while and attract the attention of the collector.

But afterwards, Ulrich would definitely be more vigilant against him.

He looked around, and a bold idea suddenly burst out of his mind.

Theo did not break in by force, and even used some hacking methods to open the door of the studio.

The whole person was suspended in mid-air, his feet were not touching the ground, and even covered the electromagnetic field of vision, which was used to interfere with conventional monitoring equipment. He was fully prepared.

"Huh?" Theo paused, looked around, and asked in surprise: "Where is he?"

The studio was empty, with various metal parts placed on it. In the corner, there was a light golden armor being repaired, with its back opened.

"Not here?" Theo frowned and murmured in a low voice: "After the banquet yesterday, he should not have left here. Ulrich has been watching him."

He looked around the studio carefully, his eyes fell on several closed cabinets, and with a wave of his hand, the metal cabinet doors were opened, and there was nothing inside.

"Really not here?" Theo almost turned the entire studio upside down, and even tore off the metal iron plates on the wall, making sure there was no hidden space behind, and then pasted them back.

In fact, as a Class A life form, he has a keen sense of the environment, and ordinary hiding methods are unlikely to be effective.

But the other party is a great mechanic after all, and should not be underestimated.

"Go somewhere else..." He left the studio, searched every room in the center of the floating island, and finally returned to this studio.

"I always have an inexplicable premonition that something seems to be wrong." Theo paced left and right, his eyes flickering, and his eyes were fixed on the light golden mecha in the corner.

He looked into the cockpit again and confirmed that there was nothing.

"What's wrong..." Theo felt depressed and whispered: "It seems that it's really not there... What a pity..."

He shook his head, restored everything in the room to its original state, and his figure disappeared.

There was no movement in the silent studio. After about half an hour, Theo appeared again and looked around. There was no difference from what he remembered.

"Really not there?" Theo shook his head, as if he had really left.

After another hour, he suddenly appeared and came in from the ceiling. The room was still empty.

"Okay, you win!" Theo shouted in a deep voice, "You are worthy of being a great mechanic."

He seemed to have left completely for six hours.

Theo returned again, his face almost as black as the bottom of a pot, and his gray pupils flashed with a hazy silver light, "How could he suddenly disappear!"

"I don't believe it!"

In his vision, the room was full of hazy black traces, which were pheromones left by living things.

He could barely sense it, but couldn't make a specific distinction.

There were a lot of pheromones in the room, but very few in the outside world, so he went back and forth many times, thinking that the other party was in the room.

If it weren't for avoiding the other party's vigilance, he would even want to turn the whole room over.

But now it's almost the same as turning it over, and there is no place to hide people in this place.

"Did he run away..." Theo had an incredible guess in his heart.

Theo was determined to wait here. He didn't believe that the other party could really disappear out of thin air.

Besides, he could still feel the occasional sense of being spied on.

"This guy is really crazy." Li Ming's mouth twitched, of course, this was a psychological effect.

Because he was now possessed by the tank guard, his physical body had disappeared, and he opened the cockpit again, creating a look of repair.

Theo could never have imagined that he was the armor in the corner.

He didn't mind if the other party wanted to waste time here.

But he didn't understand why Theo came to him, and it seemed that he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

"Shouldn't he worry about where his potion went?" Li Ming muttered: "Did he really guess that it was me?"

"No, if he guessed, he would have made trouble at the banquet, there was no need to be sneaky."

"Why are everyone so covetous of me..."
