Chapter 151: The Land of Stars, Want to Run Away

"Li Ming, where is your box?" Ford suddenly remembered and looked around.

"lost."

"Lost? You don't want the weapons inside?" Ford asked in surprise.

Li Ming said casually: "Travel light, I still remember the place, I can get it when I have time."

"Oh, little junior brother, this is the first time we meet, but I have heard Lao Luo and the teacher mention you several times," Yaluo talked to Li Ming enthusiastically.

"Senior Brother, I also hear Senior Brother Luo mention you often." Li Ming also flattered.

"Oh." Ya Luo became interested. "What did Lao Luo say about me?"

Li Ming's face paused slightly. Couldn't Senior Brother Ya Luo tell that he was flattering him?

Just one sentence of compliment will be enough. You can't ask him to make up reasons to praise you. That would be too much.

"Shut up." Luo Chuan said impatiently.

Yaluo was a little slow to react, but he finally understood what was going on. Without feeling embarrassed, he said to Li Ming, "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Yaluo - Wind Hunter."

"Wind Hunter?" Li Ming didn't quite understand: "Is this the suffix of Senior Brother's name?"

"That's my nickname," Yaluo explained.

Li Ming: "..."

"To survive in the interstellar world, you must have some nicknames. These are not given by yourself. Most of them are based on deeds and made up by friends." Yaluo said as a matter of course.
"When I was in the Land of Stars, I was like the wind, floating around unpredictably, so people gave me the nickname, the Wind Hunter."

"If a meteorite falls, it can kill several C-level life forms in the Land of Stars." Luo Chuan sneered, "Don't embarrass yourself."

Li Ming seemed to be thinking about something, and became interested, so he asked what the Land of Stars was.

"It's a no-man's land. It's located near the Red River Star Stream and borders several nearby star clusters. It's in a super-large meteorite belt and has extremely severe electromagnetic interference. It's a paradise for wanderers, looters, and criminals from several nearby star clusters."

Based on what Ya Luo said, Li Ming had a rough idea of ​​it: it was a chaotic land filled with powerful life forms.

"Is it possible that Yitlan cannot handle this place?" Li Ming asked thoughtfully.

"Let alone the Itlan civilization, the advanced civilizations in several nearby star clusters have assembled coalition forces more than once, but they all ended up in defeat." Yaluo said without hesitation: "The several large interstellar plundering groups there include many A-level life forms."

"There are also A-level life forms." Li Ming was also a little surprised.

"It's not a crushing defeat." After listening for a long time, Ford finally couldn't help but correct: "The interstellar environment in that place is special. Once the coalition forces are assembled, most people will flee to the Red River Star Stream."

"We waited for the coalition forces to retreat and then went back again. Each time we assembled, we wasted a lot of energy and gained nothing."

"But the A-level life forms inside don't dare to come out easily. Once they are discovered, they will be besieged."

Yaluo didn't care about being refuted, and said nonchalantly: "Yes, yes, you are right. Anyway, the Land of Stars has been fine for so many years."

Ford became angry and wanted to explain, but turned away. There was no point in explaining to such a person.

Castellon added: "Actually, this is a kind of ecological balance. There are always criminals in the interstellar space. If they have a place to go, they will cause less trouble."

There are many reasons for the existence of the Land of Stars, and Yaluo highly praised it in his words.

In his words, in the land of stars, there is nothing that cannot be enjoyed and nothing that cannot be done.

It sounds like this land of stars is a good place to go.

"It seems that you are quite curious. Why don't you come with me for a walk? I will protect you." Yaluo teased.

Everyone looked at them strangely, as if they were laughing but not laughing. Luo Chuan said indifferently, "We don't know who will protect whom yet."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Ya Luo didn't quite understand, and no one explained it to him. He looked at Luo Chuan with dissatisfaction: "You wrongly accused me of killing Fu Zongchen last time, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."

Luochuan ignored him.

Li Ming was secretly thinking that if he wanted to develop rapidly, metal energy and various weapons and equipment would be indispensable.

In the interstellar space, almost all civilizations have weapons control regulations.

The weapons control on Blue Star is already strict enough, and they can only be purchased through the Black Hole Network.

Not to mention that within the territory of the Itlan civilization, although its civilization level is higher, the constraints he faces will undoubtedly be more severe.

On Blue Star, he still had to act with caution. But when he arrived at the Itlan civilization, even the basic monitoring equipment was much higher-level than that on Blue Star. Being under surveillance all the time was even more troublesome.

Not to mention killing or arson, even when absorbing metal materials, one must be cautious.

More importantly, Princess Asmara would not protect him. If she discovered any clues about him, she might become even more curious about him and kill him directly.

There is no need to say more about how cruel and ruthless this woman is. Staying around her or having contact with her is a big trouble.

But if he wants to run away, he must choose a good place, a place where he can develop unscrupulously and find a large supply of resources.

This place of stars seems pretty good.

"However, we must first obtain the C-grade gene seeds," Li Ming calculated.

If I buy it on Black Hole Online, I don’t know how long it will take to save up the money.

At worst, I could go to the Itlan civilization, steal the C-grade gene seeds, and then find a chance to escape.

But, if I really go there, can I come out? How about asking Ford first?

He was thinking all the way and had already arrived at the main ship in the sky.

The heavy hatch opened and they fell into the deck cabin. Someone was already waiting for them. It was a young man. He nodded slightly and said, "Welcome, everyone."

"Isius!" Ford's face suddenly darkened. Li Ming noticed it keenly and his heart moved slightly.

"Mr. Castellon, please go and rest for a while. Lord Ford and Mr. Li Ming, please follow me."

Isius made arrangements calmly, and after the others left, a smile spread across his face, and he said to Ford: "My dear brother, I'm glad that your life is not in danger."

Ford's face was dark and he said nothing.

"I heard that you murdered Caroline with your wisdom. I'm really impressed." Isius didn't seem to want Ford to respond, and said to himself: "I didn't expect that one day, I would hear the word wisdom in you."

"Isius, isn't Princess Asmara waiting?" Ford's voice was cold.

"Yes, yes." Isius smiled, turned around and led the way, "Follow me."

During this process, his eyes never fell on Li Ming.

Of course Li Ming didn't care about this. As a normal person, he just stood next to Ford, and the other party would at least glance at him once or twice.

This was not even under his own control, and Isius never showed this kind of behavior. Either he was really arrogant and didn't care about anyone else, or he did it on purpose.

A show of force? Li Ming smiled inconspicuously.

Walk all the way through the corridor and take the internal elevator to the top floor.

"Please wait a moment." Isius walked to the black door without looking back. The door was engraved with complex geometric patterns. These patterns formed a special energy circuit on the surface of the door.
He turned around and smiled, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that the Torch Organization dispatched six B-level life forms, four of whom have been killed, one captured alive, and one is still at large." "You killed a Firework Apostle and were made an earl. What do you think I will be?"

Ford's face looked ugly. His father had spent a lot of money to increase his merits.

But soon after, Isius had even greater merits sweeping in, and it was a very vivid analogy.

With his example in front of him, Isius's contribution will be greatly elevated, which is equivalent to saying that part of his father's efforts became Isius's wedding dress.

"Who is this guy?" Li Ming asked when he saw him enter the room.

"Isius, the king's sixteenth child, joined Princess Asmara's army two years ago." Ford introduced in a bad tone.

"So he's a prince." Li Ming suddenly realized: "No wonder he's so arrogant."

"With a potential of 14, he is already a C-level life form. It is said that he can temporarily release the primary form of Emperor Flame and Thunder." Ford couldn't help but feel jealous when he said this: "Did you see the ring on his hand?"

"The ring on your hand?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows: "I really didn't notice it, what's wrong?"

"More than half a year ago, he followed Princess Asmara to the Xingyuan Empire. It is said that a certain important person particularly appreciated him and specially gave him a subspace folding mechanical ring."

"Pressure space folding?" Li Ming looked over suddenly, "Space ring?"

"You could say that." Ford nodded and said sadly, "Although the space is not big and can only hold small items, it is also a symbol."

He sighed but received no response, then he realized that the green light in Li Ming's eyes was almost becoming real.

"What's wrong with you?" Ford frowned.

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Ming shook his head and collected his thoughts.

Ford looked at him and whispered, "You have to be careful. Isius is not an arrogant person. On the contrary, he is very polite."

"He was deliberately ignoring you just now. It was probably because you and I had been very close recently, which made Princess Asmara unhappy and she wanted to punish you."

“It makes you feel less important.”

"I know." Li Ming glanced at him, "Do you think there is no surveillance equipment here? Why do you say that on purpose?"

Ford smiled awkwardly. Since Li Ming now knew too much, he didn't want Li Ming to fall into Princess Asmara's arms.

It would be better to tie the two of them together tightly, so that this guy won't have to use his black material as a token of his allegiance.

After waiting for a while, the door opened. The two men looked solemn, but the person who came out was not Isius.

"Teacher?" Li Ming was slightly stunned.

Wu Yanqing walked over quickly, and Ford nodded slightly, "Professor."

"Your Highness, the princess lets you in." Wu Yanqing said to Ford.

"Myself?" Ford was puzzled.

"Well, go ahead. Don't keep the princess waiting for long." There was no clue in Wu Yanqing's expression. Ford hesitated a little. He glanced at Li Ming, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the room as if he was going to die.

However, Wu Yanqing took Li Ming in the opposite direction and turned into another room.

"Sit down." Wu Yanqing asked him to sit down. "Nothing will happen this time, right?"

"It was a close call." Li Ming responded solemnly, "Thank you for your concern, teacher."

Wu Yanqing glanced at him and asked, "Did you think I was the one who suggested using you to go fishing?"

"How is it possible? How could the teacher think so?" Li Ming was shocked and quickly denied: "It is the duty of every civilized citizen of the Silver Star Cluster to extinguish the torch."

“Heh…” Wu Yanqing laughed angrily: “To tell you the truth, I did go to find Princess Asmara, but it was not because of the torch, but because of the C-level gene seed.”

"C-grade gene seed?" Li Ming paused slightly.

"Yes, Asmara is too vicious and cold-hearted." Wu Yanqing had just finished speaking when he was interrupted by Li Ming: "Teacher, Princess Asmara just saved me from danger, how can you insult her like this?"

The surveillance camera was right there in the corner, and Old Wu was so bold in speaking.

"Don't worry, they can't see or hear you." Wu Yanqing shook his head speechlessly and continued, "If you go to the Itlan civilization, you will definitely be asked to take sides. Asmara will eat you up without leaving any residue."

"I suspect that if she makes another breakthrough in sublimation particle fusion technology, the minimum requirement will no longer need to be level 20."

Li Ming's heart tightened slightly, as he was also worried about this.

"So I wanted to get you a C-grade gene seed in advance, so that you don't have to go to the Itlan civilization and can just find a place to hide." Wu Yanqing sighed.

As for Class B gene seeds, the Itlan civilization will not grant them easily, so don't consider it for now.

Li Ming was even more surprised. He didn't expect that Old Wu had the same idea as him. The wind was strong and he ran away.

Knowing that it is a turbulent whirlpool, but still jumping into it, wouldn’t that be stupid?

Asmara started to cause trouble before I even went to Itlan. What would happen if I went there?

"But at that time, Jingnanxing sent the information about Caroline's operation."

"Asmara was aware that the Torch was about to make a big move, so she sent out the Wing Shadow Fleet. On the way, she learned about Caroline's death and the Torch's plan to use you to tear Jingnan Star apart."

"She guessed that since Torch invested so much resources in the early stage, you must have a follow-up."

"So, she just waited nearby to see how many people the Torch could send," Li Ming added.

"Yes." Wu Yanqing shook his head.

"Then, what about the gene seeds?" Li Ming asked expectantly.

"In the hands of Princess Asmamara." Wu Yanqing said helplessly.

Li Ming's face darkened. So you didn't do anything, old man?
Wu Yanqing noticed the meaning in Li Ming's eyes and said unhappily, "It's because you and Ford were so close, and you even followed his orders to kill Sun Jingan. Do you think Asmara will be happy when she knows this?"

"Unexpected situation." Li Ming laughed twice and said, "Who told you not to reply to my message and inform me in advance?"

Wu Yanqing glared at him. How could he know that Li Ming could cause such a big storm.

"Asmara still wants to recruit you, but she wants to warn you. The gene seed was given to Isius, and you have met him." Wu Yanqing continued.

"Yes, he did. He didn't even look at me or say a word to me the whole time." Li Ming nodded.

"Humph." Wu Yanqing sneered, "Old tricks. She wants to wear down your edge and arrogance and make you flatter Isius."

"You are still so confident. I am not afraid of your backlash even if I use this method."

Li Ming remained silent. He was not angry at all, but why was Old Wu so angry?

"Let's not talk about that for now. How much development progress have you made?" Old Wu asked.

"60%." Li Ming thought for a moment and said about 10% less.

"So fast?" Old Wu's hands trembled and his eyes were fixed on Li Ming.
