This is not mechanical ascension.

This seems to be a chain of events.

Li Ming thought about using Ford to throw Lao Wu into defecting, and then using the precious items he said to lure him into contacting Lao Wu.

However, his sudden mention of Theo should have disrupted the opponent's plan.

He was probably certain that Ford was still being held captive, and the person he was talking to was not Ford himself.

Asmara had too little information, and perhaps she did not expect that Ford would be manipulated to that extent.

The only possible surprise is that Ford blows himself up and tells everything, and Asmara realizes the problem and takes advantage of it again.

Is it possible?

It is not impossible, of course, provided that the commander-in-chief is not Asmara, but his father.

"We still have to cooperate." Li Ming thought for a while, and he still hoped to get a main gun from Asmara.

Clicking on Wu Yanqing's account call box, Li Ming sent the message "Teacher?"

"He asked!"

In the intelligence room, everyone looked excited. Asmara said expressionlessly, "Don't reply for now. Wait for half a day."

"The show is quite good." Li Ming muttered, simply closed the page and continued to develop gene seeds.

………

In another room not far away, Theo was also talking to someone.

"In other words, you have now formed a temporary alliance and are preparing to coerce the Torch Organization to take you into the ruins with the participation of the great mechanic Qinglong."

A calm voice came from the screen, "It's interesting that it turned into this situation."

Theo's heart moved slightly, "Your Excellency, due to various accidents, the delay has been too long now. When we contact the Torch Organization again, even with their help, it will be difficult to find Serad."

It's not like Serad doesn't have long legs, he can run on his own, but the other person driving the spaceship may have disappeared without a trace.

If the distance is too far, even the information state cannot track it.

"Ha, such a precious thing can be stolen by a B-level life form?" The other party sneered, Gray Eyes lowered his head, "For some reason, Serad had already stolen the thing before I took over."

"You mean, there's something wrong with my people?"

"I don't dare." Huitong shook his head.

The other party did not go any further on this topic, but simply said: "How confident are you that you can defeat that great mechanic?"

"100%" Gray Eyes said calmly, "It will take time for him to dress up the nano-mecha. Under a close-range sneak attack, he has no chance to resist."

"I even suspect that he is bluffing, and his actual strength is not as powerful as he said."

"Do you need me to take him away?"

The other party objected: "It's not necessary for the time being. Let's go according to your original plan. Maybe you can exert an unexpected influence."

"Understood." Huitong nodded, and then tentatively said: "The flower of Casablan."

The other party said indifferently: "After this matter is over, I will prepare another one for you."

Huitong breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Excellency."

The screen went out, and it was a spacious office with reddish-brown walls, a red carpet on the floor, and green potted plants placed in the corners, which were carefully taken care of.

There is no furniture on the ground in the middle of the room. There is a huge chandelier above it. A little further back, there is a desk with a figure sitting behind the desk.

He crossed his arms and said in an indifferent voice, "Have you not contacted Serad yet?"

"No, he has lost contact." The subordinate standing on one side responded.

"Keep looking, don't you dare to take advantage of my things..." His voice became smaller and smaller.

………

It wasn't until the next day that "Old Wu" sent him a message back.

"how?"

The tone was very cold. Just by reading these two words, Li Ming could already imagine Wu Yanqing standing in front of him with a cold face.

The imitation is indeed very similar.

"I heard from Ford that you defected?" Li Ming asked.

"Fed?"

Messages popped up one after another, "He should be locked up by Asmara. How can he contact you?"

"It's Asmara. She must have asked someone to pretend to be Ford. What did he ask you to do?"

Li Ming's eyes are strange and powerful, and Asmara is really awesome.

Question Ford first to enhance your credibility in disguise.

But in fact, Ford didn't ask him to do anything. Upon closer inspection, this kind of doubt did not constitute any suspicion at all.

"He didn't ask me to do anything." Li Ming also explained cooperatively: "It was his father who forcefully rescued him from Asmara."

"Prince of Baijan..." Old Wu seemed to be pondering, "Anyway, the people of the Yitlan civilization are not very good. You have to be careful when dealing with them."

"Tsk..." Li Ming couldn't help but shake his head and continued typing, "I understand. Where are you now? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, don't worry." He said concisely.

Li Ming took the initiative and said: "Asmara will definitely not let you go easily. Do you want to come to the Land of the Stars?"

"The Land of the Stars?" Old Wu resisted: "No, the people there are not worthy of my trust."

Very Lao Wu's style.

"I'm here too." Li Ming further said, "Don't worry, Teacher Qinglong will protect you."

Old Wu suddenly said: "What else did Ford tell you? Did he tell you that I took away a very crucial thing, related to the relics of the Ascended One?"

"That's right."

"I don't need anyone to protect me."

"Teacher Qinglong doesn't know what you brought, I didn't tell him." Li Ming thought for a moment and replied.

He also had to play along with the other party to prevent the other party from noticing something was wrong and running away with his main gun.

"You can't be chased by Asmara all the time."

There was no response from the other side for a long time.

"He didn't tell Qinglong?" Asmara frowned slightly, quite surprised.

"There is a certain probability that he is just deceiving Wu Yanqing." The intelligence officer reminded.

"It doesn't matter, you can agree to him." Asmara shook his head.

"Okay, I will change the course and go to the Land of Stars as soon as possible. I will arrive in about ten days."

Ten days? Li Ming sneered. Doesn't want to honor his main gun?

That won't work.

"Then you may need to trouble you to hide in the Land of Stars for a while. I'm still on the way to the Land of Stars. It will take about fifteen days to arrive."

Asmara's face sank slightly, and Arik felt tricky, "If this is the case, he can't see the turret, will there be a problem with his consciousness."

Asmara just didn't want to honor any turret, so he chose to advance the time, but this guy is still on the way to the Land of Stars?

"That's it, promise him." Asmara hesitated and made up his mind.

"Okay"

With only one word, Li Ming smiled. He guessed that if Asmara's original plan was followed, he should take advantage of him to meet Wu Yanqing to ambush them.

"The secret must be kept to oneself. In their cognition, even if I tell Qinglong, I can't tell Ulrich and others."

But now, the matter of Theo has disrupted Asmara's deployment, and he has to pay an extra main gun.

Li Ming muttered: "There are two ambush opportunities now. I don't know which one you will choose."

………

"Commander, if Li Ming is alone, do you still need Tiago? In order to mobilize him, you promised the Bernest civilization a lot of benefits." Arik lowered his voice.

"Be prepared, we must ensure that these two people can be captured. I even feel that one A-level life form is not enough." Asmara shook his head.

"Thiago has prepared advanced EMP bombs and magnetic nano jammers, all targeting this person."

"Besides, it takes time to dress up his mecha, and he is only a Class B life form. When Qinglong left the Iron Castle, although there were Class A life forms following him, as long as he moved quickly, the other party could not stop him."

Arik flattered, "Your plan is foolproof."

"Besides, greed is at work, and it is related to the secret of the Sublimator Ruins. Even if Li Ming told Qinglong about this, the Great Mechanic would not tell anyone else."

"Maybe Qinglong will try his best to get rid of the pursuer and go alone."

"No, tell Tiago that the plan has changed. Don't choose to meet Wu Yanqing when the black hole network delivers the goods." Asmara suddenly said.

"Change of plan?" Arik was puzzled. "Isn't this good?"

Asmara said calmly: "This main gun must be prepared by Qinglong for some kind of transformation, and at the same time, it is not too important."

"In order to avoid being blocked by Ulrich and others, there is a certain probability that Qinglong will not show up, and the only person to receive the goods is Li Ming himself."

"If Qinglong shows up, proceed according to the original plan." Plans cannot keep up with changes, and Asmara thinks that there is more room for this.

"Your wisdom makes me ashamed." Arik complimented, and then conveyed the order in Asmara's cold eyes.

Asmara's eyes were dim. If they were not too far away from the Land of Stars, she would not have to go through so much trouble.

The battle video has been spread farther and farther. If they don't act in advance, they may not even be able to drink soup in the end.

"How could such a great mechanic suddenly appear..."

...

In the following period of time, Ford found Li Ming several times and exchanged some harmless news.

The most important thing is to tell him that he spent a huge amount of money to buy the main ship-level turret he needed on the black hole network.

He complained a lot about this, which made Li Ming amazed. Not to mention the secrets hidden between him and Ford, their tone of voice was too similar.

As for Wu Yanqing, he didn't contact him much during this period, which was also in line with his personality.

In a blink of an eye, twelve days passed, and Ulrich's steel castle had been repaired almost. Some places that were too damaged could not be easily repaired, so they were just left temporarily.

While developing gene seeds, Li Ming was also sorting out himself, trying to use the [Material Recombination Maker] to make some things and plan the control system of Class B life forms.

In the room, various elemental energies surged on the surface of Li Ming's skin.

Until a certain moment, it seemed to reach a limit, suddenly rising, and then gradually disappearing.

Li Ming slowly opened his eyes, and a long-lost excitement flashed across his eyes, after so many days of sleepless development.

The progress of his gene seed development finally reached 100%. He didn't even need to test it. The familiar feeling of fullness in his body made him sure of it.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Without any hesitation, a slender metal tube appeared in his palm. It was the gene seed of [Red Lotus Thunder Dragon].

He showed it to Saber. There was nothing wrong with this gene seed.

The sharp needle pierced his skin, and the cold liquid merged into his blood, and then quickly flowed into his heart and burst into all parts of his body.

Li Ming closed his eyes slightly, and felt his skin burning like fire. The cells in his body rioted instantly, like ignited kerosene, burning fiercely, bursting out with explosive power far stronger than normal.

Under the red skin, blood vessels bulged, entangled with each other, and muscles were as hard as stone.

Boom!

The surging energy of various elements burst out from Li Ming's body, like a thunderous tsunami, thunder roared,

and whipped out charred marks on the ground and walls, and sizzled at the same time.

Li Ming opened his eyes, and what appeared in front of him was a red ocean, thunder and fire intertwined, cells were violently metamorphosing, fusing new gene seeds, and producing deeper changes.

The mimic mask flickered, as if it could not withstand the impact.

"Such a big noise?" Enduring the pain of gene metamorphosis, Li Ming's body appeared [Felos Warrior-class Mecha], covering his whole body.

However, this was just the beginning. The cold gene seeds wandered all over his body and melted, but a certain power hidden in the depths of his genes emerged out of thin air.

The intersection with the gene seeds was like a raging fire boiling oil. The two produced indescribable changes, and then burst out with more intense power.

A large number of complex red patterns spread on the surface of the skin, exuding an indescribable fierce aura from head to toe.

That was the residual power of the [Flower of Casablanca] intercepted by the [Gene Warrior].

This was the last thought that came to Li Ming's mind. He tried his best to switch the control object, and then used [Field Medical Care] to bless it.

Then, he was overwhelmed by the intense pain. Red arcs continued to flow out from the gaps in the mecha, carrying flames and purple ripples, and the ground was melting.

Bang!

The door of the room was knocked open, and Ulrich, Sandro, and Theo stood in turn, looking surprised.

"What is he doing?" Sandro looked puzzled, looking at the metal mecha in front of him, trying to call the other party's name, but there was no response.

"This energy intensity... Why does it feel out of control." Theo took a touch of the arc, "It can only be regarded as normal."

"There won't be any accidents." Ulrich's expression flickered.

"The master is testing something, please do not disturb him." A mechanical body suddenly spoke in the corner.

"Testing something? Are you sure?" Sandro looked up and down, "Why didn't he respond?"

"What do you expect me to respond?" A cold voice suddenly came from the mecha, "You guys really care about me. You come to check immediately when there is a little movement."

"It's good that everything is fine." Sandro didn't care. Ulrich was a little confused, but he just looked at it twice.

The three left the room.

In the mecha, Li Ming was breathing heavily. The transformation in his body was still continuing, but the most painful time was over.

About two hours later, the mecha on his body suddenly disappeared, and what came into view was like a body cast from pure gold.

It was neither bloated nor thin, as if it was close to some perfect proportion. With five fingers stretched out, the air flowed like water, as if it could be crushed with a little force.

The joy of rising to a higher level of life is incomparable. The body is extremely light and full of strength. The shackles of the body are broken, and the broad and seemingly endless evolutionary road is right under my feet.

He took a long breath, and the airflow mixed with fine arc particles instantly sprayed the entire room.
