This is not mechanical ascension.

Li Ming felt the fullness rising in his body and couldn't help clenching his hands. He had an irresistible desire to vent.

The fusion of the three liberation forms, estimated to have brought him an overall increase of about 20 times, and the fusion conversion rate was about 70%.

Glancing at the control page, the metal balance was less than 10 million, only more than 9 million left.

Outside the porthole, stars were streaming like rain, and the sailing team was streamlined again, leaving only the Cruise.

The spaceship that Li Ming had robbed was also sold to Theo by him. The price was not low, as much as 50 million. After all, it was a luxury spaceship, and the price was not bad.

After releasing the form, the multiple transformations at the genetic level made his body a little weak, severely lacking nutrients, and his cells were all autophagic.

He simply went out and went to the cafeteria. The Cruise was highly automated, and there were almost no staff in the corridor.

"Your Excellency Qinglong..." The chef in the cafeteria had a pleasant, gentle and soft voice. If you close your eyes, you may be able to imagine a slim girl.

Unfortunately, the creature in front of him was one meter tall, with thin limbs and pink translucent skin.

The Hal tribe, due to their special body structure, cannot undergo genetic evolution,

and their innate ability makes them extremely sensitive to smell and taste, and they are a well-known chef race in the Silver Star Cluster.

"Bomi, give me a Nolan diamond crab and a magnetic crystal salad," Li Ming sat down freely and said casually.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qinglong, the diamond crab has been eaten by Mr. Sandro." Bomi said helplessly.

"What a glutton..." Li Ming shook his head speechlessly, and then said: "Then change it to crystal shrimp"

"Okay." Bomi nodded and went to prepare the ingredients. While waiting, Sandro also came to the cafeteria.

"You are here..." The burly figure sat down next to Li Ming casually: "I went to your room to find you, the spacecraft intelligence said you were not there."

Li Ming glanced at him, "What do you want to see me for?"

"Hey..." Sandro smiled awkwardly, looked around guiltily, and whispered:

"Do you still want my metal materials? Let's do this, the total is calculated at 1 billion, you give me 250 million, and I will give you all the metal materials."

"Not interested." Li Ming shook his head. He had drained all the metal energy inside, and now it was only worth 25 million.

"You can't be too shabby..." Sandro was a little anxious, thinking that the other party wanted to continue to lower the price.

As he got closer to the agreed location of the Torch Organization, he gradually came to his senses.

These metal materials were indeed useless in his hands, so it would be better to sell them to Qinglong.

It was all because Ulrich, that bastard, insisted on raising the price, which aroused his greed.

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing. You're playing hard to get, right?" Sandro lowered his head and gritted his teeth, saying, "Two hundred million, it can't be any lower."

He still thought that Li Ming had come to him to discuss metal materials before, and now it was nothing more than a matter of price.

"Theo is a bit too black. After all, we are all friends, and the price is too low." Li Ming suddenly said.

Sandro agreed with him and said angrily, "Yes, this blind bastard, one hundred million wants..."

He was halfway through his speech when he suddenly realized and hurriedly shut up.

"One hundred million." Li Ming couldn't help but sigh, Theo was really black.

Sandro's face was uncertain, and finally said, "One hundred and fifty million, this is my final price."

"I advise you to sell it to Theo." Li Ming sincerely advised.

Sandro's face was pale and uncertain. This price was even more excessive than cutting it in half. Although these things came easily, they were already in his hands, so how could he give them away easily?

Still reluctant.

"I won't sell it. I don't need this little money." Sandro snorted coldly and left in frustration.

It was not until Sandro left that Bomi brought his dishes over.

"Mr. Sandro doesn't seem very happy." Bomi whispered.

"Yes, I heard there are no shrimps to eat." Li Ming said casually.

Bomi's jelly-like body trembled slightly, seemingly without any special reaction, but the pink translucent skin had turned white.

This is the strange reaction of the Hamil tribe in a state of fear.

Li Ming's mouth grinned.

………

During the voyage of the Cruise, the wreckage of the Land of Stars and the Trading Island attracted a large number of predators who came to watch the excitement, as well as spies from other forces.

This is the collector's nest, a veteran A-level in the Land of Stars, and has a good relationship with Gray Eyes and Sandro.

How could the nest blow up without any warning?

For ordinary predators, this is a pleasure, but for some people, it is enough to obtain a lot of information.

Especially after noticing that Sandro had disappeared and the mercenary group under Gray Eyes had also been broken up, a subtle atmosphere spread in the Land of Stars.

A little further away, in a seemingly inconspicuous warship, Asmara was still breathtakingly beautiful, and there was no trace of any trauma from the explosion on her lavender skin.

The subordinates were reporting that the intelligence officer Arik died in the castle, and the person who received him was an officer with a relatively unfamiliar face.

"Your Highness..." He lowered his head: "Just received accurate news that the great mechanic Qinglong, Theo, Ulrich and Sandro appeared in the abandoned city of the starship, and killed the lord of the abandoned city of the starship, the shepherd--Brelim."

"Who killed him?" Prince Baijan on the side asked, with many traces of injuries on his body, wrapped in a special life-support patch.

"It seems that four people worked together to kill him." The reporter responded,

"Due to the sudden incident and the huge impact of the battle, almost no effective battle video was released. Based on the scattered eyewitness intelligence, Sandro blocked it, Ulrich suppressed it, and Qinglong fired two cannons to defeat him. Into coke."

"Two cannons?" Asmara frowned slightly, capturing different points, "Are you sure it's a double cannon?"

He responded hurriedly: "It should be a pair of cannons. According to witnesses at the scene, two beams of light shot out from the direction of the great mechanic Qinglong."

"They have joined forces." Baijan shook his head, "This is not good news..."

"Where are they now?" Asmara continued to ask.

"They should have left the ruined starship city. We don't know exactly where they are going. It seems that all the fleets under Blelim's command have been taken over by Theo."

Asmara's face was expressionless, "It seems, should, seems?"

"Kule, as an intelligence officer, should these words appear in the report?"

The intelligence officer named Culler trembled all over and lowered his head.

"Aric will never commit these problems." Asma's voice was solemn, "Do you think that if there are problems with the intelligence using these vague terms, you will not be found?"

"Go find out!" she shouted.

"Yes." Kuller left in a hurry. In the room, Prince Baijan shook his head: "The Abandoned Starship City is not a place with strict supervision. We have no one there. It is normal for the information to be vague."

Asmara ignored Prince Baijan and looked at the corner, "Fed, your news has been verified. They have indeed left here."

"I can give you freedom, but I need to know more." Asmara said in a deep voice, "What else did Li Ming tell you?"

Prince Baijan's face was gloomy and uncertain, and Ford smiled, "Qinglong, Ulrich and others should have gone to the Torch Organization."

"Torch Organization..." Asmara looked calm, as if there were not many surprises.

"I want to know what happened between them." Asmara continued to ask.

This is still a problem for them. The information they currently have is that Sandro and the Torch Organization jointly sent people to attack Qinglong.

Then the great mechanic Qinglong suddenly and inexplicably got into a fight with Sandro, revealing his own strength.

But there is no more information about what happened in the depths of the Steel Castle.

Ford shook his head and raised his hand to signal. Asmara snorted coldly, and the gene suppressor on his body burst.

The weak body quickly strengthened, and Ford stretched his limbs, "I need you and my father to work together to issue an intelligence order to prove that I am exchanging intelligence with Li Ming for the benefit of civilization."

"Your information is not enough." Asmara shook her head decisively.

"There is a more powerful life form that has shattered most of the great mechanic Qinglong's combat power." Ford said a few more words.

"A more powerful life form?" Asmara's eyes narrowed slightly, "Where did it come from?"

"I don't know, that's all I know." Ford shook his head.

Asmara's expression changed, and she felt that since the appearance of Qinglong, the situation has become more complicated, and various characters have appeared in turn.

A more powerful life form has emerged?

"He was repairing his equipment, so the cannon was changed from one to two, and the mecha was added."

Prince Baijiang suddenly said, "In this case, the mecha of the Ascendant Civilization was not deliberately taken out by him, but that he really had no other means but to use that mecha."

"He should be able to guess that once the information is spread, someone will be able to identify it."

Asmara's face was uncertain, "I want to know his origin?"

Ford shook his head, "I can say this, Li Ming doesn't even know the origin of his teacher."

"Give me the intelligence amnesty order so that I can trade more information with him."

"I agree." Prince Baijan said. Asmara stared at Ford coldly, and finally agreed.

The intelligence amnesty order was jointly signed by the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of the combined fleet, allowing Ford and Li Ming to trade information, including some sensitive information.

This will be entered into the advanced database of the Itlan Civilization.

It was only then that Ford was completely relieved, and then asked: "I want to know, will the Sanguinea Grand Guild send someone here?"

Asmara's face darkened, "I didn't sign the order for you to ask me."

Ford shrugged, "Li Ming said that his teacher is absolutely sure that he can create what the Torch Organization requires him to create."

"Absolutely sure?" Asmara's expression suddenly changed, "Are you sure!?"

"I'm sure." Ford nodded.

Prince Baijan's face moved slightly, and he asked: "What exactly is the Torch Organization creating?"

Asmara was no longer calm and paced back and forth, as if it was hard to believe it. It was not until a long time later that she said: "Duke Sanguine will not take action in the short term. After all, this area is under the influence of Grand Duke Guya."

"What about Gabriel's information..." Ford asked immediately, and Asmara said in a deep voice: "Listen to me!"

"... Grand Duke Guya is still recovering. If Grand Duke Bloodletting interferes, it will have a bad impact."

"But Gabriel's incident is a foreshadowing. If something unexpected happens, the Bloody Archduke will use this as an excuse to take action."

"So that's how it is... You can retreat or advance." Ford thought thoughtfully, and then said: "Then can my smart terminal be returned to me?"

"Go get it yourself." Asmara drove them both away, then opened the smart terminal and contacted someone.

"Your Highness..." A dull voice came from the dark virtual screen.

"What's going on?"

"Master Mechanic Benny has only two students, and they don't have any other thoughts. Since Benny disappeared, they have been very obedient and have not tried to contact their teacher." The voice reported slowly.

"Master Mechanic Deyes has a large number of people in his laboratory. I have vaguely found that Deyes did contact one of them through some method during the months he disappeared."

"But it was through the black hole network, and it is almost impossible to trace the source of the signal."

Asmara ordered: "Very good, I will let the Royal Laboratory design an electronic virus and mix it in the data. You ask the other party to pass this data to Deyes."

The other party hesitated: "Your Highness, Deyes is also very proficient in virtual data technology, otherwise it would be impossible to bypass the blockade of the Torch Organization and contact his subordinates."

"I'm afraid he won't accept this information easily."

"Don't worry, he will." Asmara seemed very confident.

"Yes..."

After the communication ended, Asmara's mind was full of thoughts, and she felt more and more irritated. Her slender fingers kneaded her eyebrows.

...

In space travel, apart from the constantly passing schedule, you can hardly feel the changes in time and space, and the scenery outside the porthole is the same.

Ten days passed in a flash. Except for Sandro, the other two A-level life forms did not have much desire to chat.

And Li Ming has been developing gene seeds. After the last upgrade, the effect is quite obvious, and the overall development progress has reached 5%.

That day, Ulrich informed everyone that they had arrived at the coordinates designated by the Torch Organization.

Li Ming came to the conference room, and Sandro was yelling, "Are you sure you are not wrong? Isn't this a void star field? There is not even an abandoned planet, and meteors don't go from here!"

"The coordinates given by the Torch Organization are here." Ulrich was impatient. Because of the metal material, Sandro had been bothering him for a while and asked him to buy it back at a high price.

His metal materials were also a waste, but he was wealthy and didn't care much about it, but he didn't want to cover for Sandro, which made Sandro very upset during this period.

Theo was contacting people from the Torch Organization. After a while, he looked up and said, "Here they come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Cruiser issued a sharp alarm. Ulrich pulled out the virtual screen, and ripples suddenly appeared in the empty star field.

It was like a meteor passing by at a very fast speed, but it stopped suddenly when it got close. The ripples disappeared, and finally three standard warships emerged.

"Tsk, standard warships..." Li Ming raised his eyebrows. Except for civilization, he had hardly seen standard warships in ordinary organizations. Even the warships under Theo were uneven.
