This is not mechanical ascension.

There are no unreasonable benefits in this interstellar world. The strength and methods Qinglong has shown now are worthy of everyone's friendship.

But for Austin, he doesn't have to rush too much because he has Anduin as his backing.

After this action, there must be a plan.

Li Ming also understood that it was not that he was unwilling to help, but he just needed to consider the needs of the other party.

Austin then spoke, first he pretended to sigh, and then said:

"I have a nephew who has not been doing his job since he was a child and prefers mechanics. When he grows up, he really has some talent."

"Founded a machinery company to sell some weapons, prosthetics and so on."

"But he himself is just a senior mechanic. Although he has several great mechanics, the company is struggling in many places."

Li Ming listened, his eyes wandering, and finally understood what Austin meant, "Do you want him to be affiliated with you?"

It has been a few months since Li Ming came to the Chaos Star Gap, and he has an in-depth understanding of the influence of this behemoth, the Mechanics Association.

To put it bluntly, although the level of mechanics can be converted into combat power, it does not represent one's own strength. However, over the years, the internal level division can be almost equal to that of conventional life levels.

It is even said that the influence is even higher, which is enough to prove the power of this association.

As far as modulating gene seeds is concerned, the subjects involved are complex enough, but no one has divided it into any biological levels.

It’s not that no one has organized similar associations, but most of them ended in vain.

The Machinists Association is loose yet united. Not only in the Chaotic Star Gap, but also in every civilization where there is a Machinists Association, almost all companies and consortiums involved in the machinery industry are inextricably linked to the Machinists Association.

If you are not a member of the Machinists Association, or if you do not support a few mechanics, there is no way to survive in related industries.

It was some time after Li Ming founded the Mechanical Royal Court that he realized that if Qinglong had not joined the Mechanics Association, the counterattack he would have suffered would have increased exponentially.

Even a few overlords cannot intervene in related industries. If they want to intervene, they must be affiliated with mechanics.

What's interesting is that the two master craftsmen of the Mechanics Association don't have many industries in the chaotic star gap, but they are rooted in the civilization of order.

If arms are really a good business, do you understand the value of medical equipment and educational equipment?

"Smart..." Austin gave a thumbs up, and a wisp of runes emerged from his fingertips and floated in the air.

Soon, there was a knock on the door, but Austin said nothing and looked at Li Ming.

Austin's hospitality was attentive, no matter whether he agreed or not in the end, people still wanted to meet.

"Please come in." Li Ming said.

The door was pushed open, and a figure who was eighty-nine points similar to Austin and looked younger, wearing a black suit, walked in, holding a black metal box in his left and right hands.

"Uncle..." He nodded to Austin and said hello to Li Ming: "Your Excellency Li Ming, this is Trevor, please say hello to Your Excellency Qinglong for me."

Li Ming was a little weird in his heart. When he first made the vest division plan, he felt a little awkward when others mentioned Qinglong in front of him.

But now, he has a vague feeling that Qinglong really exists.

"Sir Trevor, please take a seat..." Li Ming also stood up. He was also an A-level life form after all.

The two exchanged some pleasantries, and Trevor was very capable and went straight to the point, "Uncle may have already told you about the general situation, and he still needs to add some details..."

"My company specializes in combat prosthetics and armor, and its business scope is in the Inston star ring across the sea of ​​​​stars. Because of my uncle's relationship, it is very popular in several star clusters." Trevor did not shy away, very calmly,

"However, I have encountered some trouble recently. A new company has taken advantage of several of my orders and seems to want to surround me. Behind the other party is a Star Casting Mechanic."

Li Ming was surprised when he heard this. He thought Austin wanted to use Qinglong to intervene in Chaos Star Gap's business, but he didn't expect it to solve difficulties.

Austin couldn't help but said helplessly, "Mechanic Harrison, I have no friendship with him. He does not operate in the chaotic star gap, so there is no need to give me face."

"Well..." Li Ming pondered, and then apologized slightly: "I'm sorry, I don't want to cause any trouble to my teacher."

Then, he pushed back the dimensional landmark on the table.

Seeing this, Austin couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This little thing is nothing, there is no need to be so polite."

Trevor hurriedly explained, "There will be no trouble. I'm actually not afraid of them. His main problem now is that the few A-level mechanics I have are not willing to support me."

"This is an unspoken rule within the machinists' association. When high-level machinists want to join a certain local industry, they must give up a certain share."

"As long as I am affiliated with them, I will be qualified to compete with them on an equal footing, and the relationship between the other party and the star-casting mechanic is not close."

Li Ming raised his eyebrows. Is there such an unspoken rule?

Why were you suppressing him from the beginning?

Oh, those who suppressed him were also star-casting mechanics, so they didn’t have to abide by this unspoken rule.

So, can the Mechanical Royal Court pave the way for order and civilization? Such beneficial unspoken rules should not be used in vain.

After thinking about it for a while, I gave up the idea. Without him, manpower and production capacity were seriously insufficient.

Especially middle-level managers, there is a serious shortage and it is not yet time to fill them.

Seeing Li Ming deep in thought, Trevor struck while the iron was hot and put the two boxes up, "This is my meeting gift to Lord Qinglong."

After he opened it, Li Ming glanced over and saw two fist-sized cubes of metal material inside.

One is as orange as gold, opening and closing like scales, and the other is crystal clear, like thousands of years old ice.

Artis alloy, space super crystal...

Li Ming's eyebrows moved slightly, and he could tell at a glance that they were all genuine S-class materials, worth a lot of money.

"I am willing to increase the affiliated profit share to 10%..." Trevor glanced at Austin and gritted his teeth.

Li Ming's heart skipped a beat. Normally, the profit sharing was 5% of the net profit.

Considering the size of the other party, 10% is probably not low.

Li Ming was already interested, but Qinglong couldn't agree easily. After pondering for a moment, he said helplessly:

"The teacher told me that it is not possible to be affiliated with the first level, and no one can do it. It can only be affiliated with the second level, and the profit share can be reduced to 5%."

The first-level affiliation is on the Mechanics Association page. You can check that it is directly managed by Qinglong. Currently, there is only one Mechanical Royal Court.

The second-level affiliation is under the Mechanical Royal Court and is ostensibly under the management of the Mechanical Royal Court.

It is easy for people to do things under the banner of first-level affiliation, so we have to guard against it.

Trevor was a little hesitant and glanced at Austin, but Austin said directly: "Then let's go to the second level of affiliation. The profit share will still be 10%."

Trevor's eyelids twitched, and he didn't dare to refute. At least he was on this line.

In fact, he didn't have other choices, but Austin asked him to choose Qinglong, which was also an investment.

The two signed an agreement and then carried out certification and affiliation on the spot.

He probably looked at the other party's financial statements for the previous year. The turnover was 2200 billion star coins, and the profit rate was about 20%. A rough estimate, this income was about 40 billion star coins.

After Li Ming figured it out, he couldn't help but sigh, he wanted to do this affiliated business.

After sending the two of them off, Li Ming checked and found that there were indeed more than one star-level mechanics who mainly relied on affiliations. The profit margin of the second-level affiliations was reduced to 0.5%.

The most star-cast mechanic has affiliated with 16,000 companies, and all comers are welcome. "Fuck..." Li Ming was speechless for a long time, and he also understood that the other party was looking for him to solve the problem on the one hand, and the preliminary binding with him was also on the other hand.

Austin is quite a thief.

Li Ming muttered, then picked up the materials on the table and opened his stance. With the level of life he encountered now, it was too casual to see through the wall, so more insurance was required.

It took half an hour to absorb all the materials in these two pieces of metal, and obtained 60 million metal energy.

This amount surprised Li Ming. The value of these two meeting gifts was much higher than he imagined.

"This is the benefit of fame..." Li Ming sighed. He could also use Trevor as a springboard to get closer to the sea of ​​stars.

The density and intensity of civilization there are beyond imagination.

Then, he picked up another dimensional landmark. After controlling it, he strengthened and improved it according to the process.

Upgrading it directly to level A does not require much upgrade itself, and only consumes 6 million metal energy in the end.

The [Exploration] ability has indeed improved, from exploring one dimensional world to four, and the amount of information obtained has increased significantly.

After taking a look at the metal energy, there were still 70 million left. With a little saving, you could upgrade a top-level S-level item.

Then, he opened the [Brief Introduction to the Dimensional World] that came with Austin, which was produced by the Multidimensional Research Institute. They focus on the research of the dimensional world.

"...You can think of the entire dimensional world as a honeycomb, divided into three layers: the shallow dimensional world, the deep dimensional world, and the eternal abyss..."

"...The shallow dimensional world is mostly dominated by a single element, and it is also the main barrier supporting the real universe..."

"...The deep dimensional world is more complex, and some are even the same as the real universe environment..."

"...According to the level, the formulas can also be divided according to letters, simply divided by E, F, etc..."

"But please note that an A-level dimensional world only means that its upper limit is A-level life forms. It does not mean that there is only one..."

"The unknown is always a danger in the dimensional world. When you pass through the dimensional barrier, you never know what level of dimensional world you will arrive at..."

Li Ming watched with gusto.

…

Robin, who had returned to the room long ago, was also full of expectations. He placed the skull on the table, took a deep breath, and said: "Let's begin..."

A green light curtain shone from the skull's pupils, scanning Robin up and down, and soon a voice came out: "The chosen one has been promoted to level A, and his authority has been increased."

"Upgrading..." In the void, wisps of silver light like data fell down, gradually integrating into the skull, adding many silver patterns to its surface.

"The location of the A-level secret treasure is being marked..."

Robin had heard and seen a series of long and complex sounds many times, waiting for the skull to be upgraded.

In just over twenty minutes, all the abnormalities disappeared. Robin couldn't wait to ask: "Butler, how do you feel?"

"The permissions have been unlocked. I can now answer some of the previous questions." The butler responded.

Robin shook his head: "I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about how do you feel? Are there any souls born..."

"Soul..." The butler was slightly startled, then changed the subject and said, "Don't you care about A-level secret treasures?"

"Secret treasure?" Robin was indeed attracted and perked up. He glanced at the metal box placed on the wall and said sluggishly: "Forget it, those secret treasures are placed in extremely strange places, and some of them have already been discovered. , or be excavated.”

"In the past, there was no time when I didn't have to work hard to obtain a B-level secret treasure."

Every time he upgrades, he will get three secret treasure locations, two weapons, and a piece of combat armor.

But even though it was dangerous before, he was still looking forward to it, but now...

He solemnly said: "To be honest, I might as well lick Li Ming."

The butler remained silent, and Robin struck while the iron was hot and discussed: "I thought about it carefully, and I really can't leave without saying goodbye. That would be too arrogant. Butler, I don't think there is any danger in following Li Ming..."

Although the butler is an intelligent system, he always treats the other party as an elder and is used to discussing.

The butler interrupted: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Before Robin could finish speaking, he looked stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously: "You agreed?"

"Didn't you encourage me to leave before? Why did you change your attitude so quickly?"

"I have upgraded and my abilities have become stronger." The butler explained.

Robin was too lazy to think about it. The butler just agreed. Then he couldn't wait to say: "Butler, you can tell me about the stone."

"Permissions unlock some information, I can tell you..."

…

When Robin knocked on Li Ming's door excitedly, he was still thinking about [A Brief Introduction to the Dimensional World].

"What's wrong, so excited?" Li Ming looked at Robin and probably guessed that the permissions should be unlocked.

"I suddenly remembered some clues about that stone." Robin said.

Suddenly he remembered... Li Ming was speechless, this excuse was really bad.

But he didn't care, and showed a cooperative expression of interest: "Oh, tell me and listen."

"That's it..." Robin put the bag he carried aside, and the skull was faintly visible.

Li Ming glanced at it and was suddenly startled, why did the skull change?

"What's wrong with you butler..." Li Ming pointed and asked, not shying away.

Robin glanced back, feeling a little guilty subconsciously, but casually said: "It was painted a little bit."

"It's pretty good-looking." Li Ming stretched out his hand, but Robin didn't care and took it out and handed it over.

Li Ming started to take it, his eyes were suddenly surprised, why did the control conditions change from 30 million to 50 million?

This skull can actually become stronger?

Where can I get the materials to strengthen him?

Li Ming suddenly remembered the extra-dimensional information state transmission that the other party said. This is a transmission method that ignores spatial distance and is more powerful than quantum entanglement. Could this upgrade also use similar means?

"Not bad..." Li Ming remained calm and handed it back.

Robin didn't care and continued: "That stone is called the Stone of Terrax. You have said it before, but Terrax is a civilization..."

"Really..." Li Ming pretended to be surprised, "It's actually a civilization. I barely found any clues before."

Robin said cheerfully: "Do you know where this civilization is?"

Li Ming sat up straighter and looked solemn. Robin's vanity was greatly satisfied and he immediately said: "It is not the civilization of the main universe, but the civilization of the dimensional world."

"Dimensional world?" Li Ming was slightly stunned, this time he was really surprised.
