This is not mechanical ascension.

"call..."

In the room, Li Ming slowly opened his eyes. His muscles tightened for an instant, and then gradually relaxed. He exhaled, and he couldn't help but be speechless:

"With my current level of strength, I still have a long way to go to pass the upper-level trial. In the end, sixteen Yuan tribesmen besieged me.

Too scary. "

Thinking back on it, the scene of being beaten by a group of people once again appeared in his mind. He almost hit GG, but he managed to survive for three minutes.

"This is such a perverted difficulty," Li Ming complained countless times.

In the past six months, he has almost never stepped out of the Mechanical Royal Court and has been developing gene seeds. The development progress has reached 62%, crossing the 60% mark, and the burst energy level exceeds 150A.

Through the Terrax Stone and Ether Crystal traded with the Holy Mother Cult, he also upgraded the [Life Power Core] and [Vortex Shadow] to S level.

[Life power core--S level: the source of mechanical life.

Control effect: 2000% physical strength blessing. Control ability - Mechanization: Obtain 4000% physical strength blessing and gain the "Source of Immortality" ability. 】

[Source of Immortality: After suffering a fatal attack, the controlled object will suffer severe trauma and the attack damage will be erased.

Restore all body values ​​to their peak state and gain [Immunity] status for three seconds. 】

[Immunity: Any type of attack cannot cause any damage. 】

Regarding the upgrade of [Life Power Core], no new features appeared. Instead, it seemed that following Li Ming's ideas, the ability of [Source of Immortality] was greatly strengthened.

After being activated, it is no longer directly destroyed, but at the cost of heavy damage, the physical state is refreshed, and there is an "invincible" time, making him feel more secure.

[Vortex News Shadow--S level: Be careful of your body being torn apart.

Control effect: Features--[Streamlined]

Control ability - Super Compression Burst: Gain 4000% speed boost and gain the ability of "Wind Shadow Hunting". 】

[Blast Shadow Hunting: Leaves ten shadow hunting marks, which can be converted into the main body. The range cannot exceed square meters. 】

[Streamlined: Obtain 2000% speed blessing, the body forms a speed field and will not be harmed by reaction force. 】

When Li Ming saw this ability, he was very excited. When he simply increased his speed, he finally didn't have to worry about being fucked by an adult.

These two greatly improved his physical strength and speed. Otherwise, with the increase in S-class control objects, he would really be unable to hold on.

Also upgraded was the [Earth-Shaking Fist], and the [Feros Battle Mecha] was replaced by the [Earth-shaking Fist].

Seven of the eight control objects on his body are already S-level, and there is only one A-level [Earth-shaking Giant Fist] that has not yet been upgraded. The overall strength has reached more than 370 times.

"Actually, it's just a little bit different. When the development progress reaches 70%, we should be able to pass the upper lord level trial."

Li Ming thought about it. As the development progress reached 60%, the speed slowed down again, but he could accept it.

Two or three months ago, he passed the middle lord level trial, raised the Titan blood concentration to 30%, and raised the root development level to level 22.

At present, under 24-hour non-stop development, the progress can be improved by 1% in about 12 days, which is still not slow.

"Hmm... Let's see if there is any news about suitable high-level S-class star beasts."

Li Ming quickly adjusted his mood, opened the smart terminal, and logged into the Black Hole Network and Black Hole Hall respectively. However, he had posted the reward for more than two months, and there was still no response.

"Is it so hard to find high-level S-class star beasts?" Li Ming sighed. He clearly marked it on the reward page. As long as the information is provided, an A-class weapon will be given.

As the development progress increased, S-level gene seeds were also put on his agenda. More than two months ago, he contacted Yeyue Biological Company for the first time and asked for a quote for customized S-level gene seeds.

The other party offered him a sky-high price, 150 billion star coins.

This price really caused Li Ming to be down for a while. To him, it was equivalent to nearly 2 billion metal energy, which was ridiculously expensive.

But the other party really didn't cheat him. Li Ming found several channels and asked sideways. These were the external quotes, which could be discounted up to 120 billion.

Moreover, this is just an ordinary custom quotation. If you want the top S-class gene seeds, the quotation will be doubled, and you may have to wait for more than five years.

S-level life forms have the power to break stars, and the difficulty of modulation is greatly increased, and they also need to capture the target star beast.

This is even more difficult.

S-class star beasts, not to mention extremely rare, are not numerous anymore. Many of them have long been monopolized by the empire, the federation, and powerful star cluster-level civilizations.

The reason why Yeyue Biological Company has grown to this point is because they have raised a group of S-level star beasts - life forms like Yeyue Whale, which are the strongest and are comparable to S-level life forms with 30% development progress. It's not Li Ming's anchor goal.

At this level, Yeyue Biological Company also provides another option, which is OEM.

Provide relevant life forms and pay a 10% process fee to prepare gene seeds.

That's why Li Mingcai has been looking for a powerful S-class star beast. After all, the development progress must be more than 90%.

Even 100% S-class star beast.

This kind of star beast is difficult to find, and may only be found in a few of the largest Jedi in the universe.

"---There are too few flesh-and-blood life forms in the dimensional world, and it is impossible to extract gene fragments-" Li Ming sighed.

He's not too anxious, as his development progress is only 60%. A conservative estimate would take him half a year to reach 100%.

"I hope I can find it, but I really can't go shopping in the Red River Star Stream. It is said that there is a high probability of high-level star beasts appearing there." Li Ming muttered.

He does not strive for excellence out of obsessive-compulsive disorder, but has long-term considerations.

At each stage, top gene seeds are used, and accumulated bit by bit, his explosive energy level can exceed the development progress or even double.

You may not be able to see anything now, but you have reached the later stages of evolution, such as the X life form or even the ultimate life form stage.

The competition is who can be stronger than others in the last tiny gap, and through the amplification of controlled objects,

His little bit may be hundreds of times greater than others.

Turning on the smart terminal, he glanced at the metal energy, which was still just over 100 million.

This is the balance after he upgraded his control objects and supplemented his mechanical guards.

The Mechanical Royal Court has maintained rapid growth in the past six months. Thanks to the reputation of the master craftsman Qinglong, it has never encountered any major obstacles.

The turnover has exceeded one trillion, and it has become a prominent figure in the entire chaotic star gap, providing arms to many armed organizations and retailers.

The overall scale of the mechanical body has reached 600,000, and the most popular one is the mercenary department of the Royal Court. Simple.

He was very efficient and even started to get involved in the escort business.

Under this scale, most of the funds were still chosen by Li Ming to invest in the operation of the royal court, but he could also use thirty to forty billion in the star market to strengthen himself.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, took out a white object the size of a thumb, and rubbed it in his hand. The small purple hammer was clearly visible in the white film.

"It's not that I'm not in a hurry to favor you. We have to develop reasonably. Otherwise, if we run out of working capital, Wang Ting will also be finished. There's no rush for now."

Li Ming didn't know whether he was comforting the Infinite Hammer or talking to himself.

Exit the Black Hole Network, open the Star Network every day, and take a look at the news you care about.

In the past six months, the interstellar world has been in turmoil, but it has not been caught in a real war. There are only a few scattered places.

The Corona Borealis Star Ring is one of them. Logically speaking, as it is adjacent to the Star Abyss Empire, there should be nothing wrong with the Corona Borealis Star Ring.

But starting four months ago, the war has been spreading, and it is still a war between the Inquisitors and Etlan.

This time it was the judge who provoked it. After the death of Archduke Nicholas, the judge must find his place.

So he contacted Mr. Yang and the others immediately and wanted to take it over. Now he has the ability to protect Yi Er C

However, Mr. Yang chose to refuse. He was too old, refused mechanical transformation, and had only a few years to live. He didn't want to bother anymore and wanted to stay in his hometown.

Uncle Yang naturally didn't come to take care of Mr. Yang, and Yang Yu was currently studying in the Federation, so he would not be affected.

As for Lao Wu, he disappeared from Blue Star and, as always, did not return messages from the Black Hole Network.

Li Ming did not force it. Perhaps for his own sake or for other reasons, Blue Star Civilization was not involved in this war, and both sides deliberately avoided this place.

Everyone has his own life, maybe he was almost beaten to death again, Li Ming felt a little sentimental and was ready to go out for a walk.

The Imperial Royal Council Center is located at the core of the Empire's home star, Olepod. It is made of a rare super-strength alloy and looks like a huge pyramid reaching into the sky.

The metal round table in the center is packed with seats. It is made of a precious crystal material. The tabletop is as smooth as a mirror and can display various data and images.

At this moment, the seats were packed, and the thirty-six people looked calm. Countless stars and gems were inlaid on the dome, emitting soft and bright light, falling on their faces.

The walls are covered with display screens, showing various important information and strategic deployments of the empire in real time.

"It's time to start."

Sitting in the center, the middle-aged man with a majestic face said lightly, wearing a gorgeous dark gold robe, embroidered with a badge symbolizing the power of the empire, shining with a faint light.

The cheek lines are hard and angular. Under the thick eyebrows, a pair of deep eyes are like endless black holes. It is Adam, the Holy Emperor of Glory of the Empire.

"Yes--" Standing aside, an intelligence agent wearing a neat military uniform spoke with a clear voice, "In the past six months, we have wiped out more than 1,700 star pirate groups and killed 3.36 million predators. .'

“Twelve embryonic resistance organizations were wiped out within the country, and thirty-three large-scale resistance organizations were wiped out outside the country.”

"The Imperial Royal Mechanics Association established with our support has exceeded 100 million members. It has completely replaced the Mechanics Association in the country, and is ready to gradually promote it to civilizations that have various cooperation agreements with us—"

“The [Iron-Blooded] plan has achieved remarkable results.” the reporter concluded.

"Okay!" The person sitting on Adam's right suddenly shouted, and then applauded enthusiastically, and scattered applause came from the people sitting on both sides of Adam.

The people sitting farther away on the left and right sides looked at him coldly and seemed to be very different from each other.

The applauders stood up with a very high-spirited attitude: "Holy Emperor Adam is right. This crisis is both a challenge and an opportunity."

"Organizations like the Machinists' Association have long been a thorn in our side. They have broad tentacles and form their own factions. Sometimes they don't even abide by our laws."

"This time they protested against the empire, but in the end they gave us a chance to replace them!"

"Holy Emperor Adam's iron-blooded plan is indeed the right path." His expression was full of flattery.

"Congressman Eckhard." Someone spoke calmly. He looked very young and had a green and white beard on his chin. "Don't just listen to the good news. The bad news hasn't been reported yet. Continue-"

Another reporter stood up and lowered his head, "In the past six months, a large number of plunderers have poured into the empire.

It caused the deaths of at least six million citizens and caused direct or indirect losses of up to one trillion star coins—"

"There are more than 300 civilizations that have ended basic alliance treaties and concluded military alliances with us, and six of them are in a state of war."

"Thirteen thousand four hundred and sixty large-scale parades occurred within half a year, of which 324 were cross-system parades."

"Of the 420,000 military stations in the Sea of ​​Stars, there are currently only 300,000 left."

After the words fell, the conference room fell into silence. There was good news and bad news.

The impact of Polk's declaration, and the enemy's subsequent plans, was greater than they imagined.

"These are all expected." Adam spoke, his face looking very calm, "This is just a warm-up. The empire has been at peace for too long. It will be painful to turn over even slightly."

"I also have a piece of data here." He raised his hand, and someone came out from behind, "It has been confirmed that the Imperial Border Guards, the Internal Patrol Army, various systems and planet garrisons, the City Security Guards, and various scattered agencies middle."

"The number of people living on empty wages exceeds 10 billion."

With just a few words, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically, including those sitting next to Adam.

Is this Holy Emperor investigating the situation in the army? Why is there no news?

Everyone present exchanged glances secretly. This matter involved too much. The power of an important institution like the military was basically divided among the three parties.

Adam not only searched them, but also his own people.

The Holy Emperor continued: "I also have a piece of data. Three days ago, the 34th Army of the Imperial Patrol Army and the 16th Fleet were chasing a squad of predators in the territory."

"The number of casualties was as high as 1,200 people, and 16 battleships were lost. What's interesting is that the predator team only had 200 people in total, and the highest level life form was B level."

"I have said that we must kill the enemy at a cost of a hundred and a thousand times, but I have never said that I want you to falsely report losses a hundred and a thousand times!" Adam's expression was indifferent. When this data was thrown in front of him, he was a little agitated. incredible.

He knew it was rotten down there, but he didn't expect it to be so rotten. If Prince Costat hadn't put all kinds of evidence in front of him, he wouldn't have believed it.
