This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 153 A-level Control Object
It must be created. Countless life forms are worried about the horizontal development of the evolutionary path, but he has a lot of additional ways to enhance it.

Fighting against opponents above your level is not advisable, crushing them is the right path, but evolution is always gradual, and you must try your best to enhance your strength.

[Mechanic's Certificate] was not obtained in vain. The image of old man Castellon jumping up and down appeared in front of Li Ming's eyes, and he couldn't help laughing.

After dealing with this matter, he went to Luochuan, only to find that Wu Yanqing had returned at some point and was looking through the documents with a frown on his face. "Everything is lost? Nothing is left?"

"It's only been a short time since I left, and the lab has become like this?" Wu Yanqing was very angry. Luo Chuan lowered his head and said nothing.

Li Ming felt a little guilty for some reason, but then he straightened his chest and said, "Teacher, you can't blame me for this. The Torch group was obviously coming for your things, and there's nothing we can do."

"You guys know how to protect each other." Wu Yanqing sneered, "Do you know what Luo Chuan just asked me?"

"He asked me if it was my idea to use you as bait. To lure the Torch into action."

Luochuan turned his head away.

Li Ming smiled awkwardly. Old Wu was no longer trustworthy.

"Hmph, I'll go to the underground laboratory and take a look." Wu Yanqing left with a lot of anger.

"In fact, the teacher is a very good person." Li Ming explained, "He couldn't do anything about it. It was Princess Asmara's idea. He went to Princess Asmara to ask for a C-level gene seed for me."

Based on Old Wu's personality, he would definitely not explain it properly to Luo Chuan, and might even point at Luo Chuan's nose and curse at him.

As expected, Luo Chuan's face changed slightly, he hesitated to speak, and said in a muffled voice: "I know."

Li Ming was speechless. The father and son had a conflict and he had to mediate.

"Oh, everyone is here, Lao Luo, why are you so upset? The teacher is not dead yet." Ya Luo appeared at the door and said with a malicious look:
"Just now I saw the teacher walk out with a gloomy look on his face. He ignored me when I greeted him. Aren't you the teacher's good boy? Are you having a conflict?"

The poisonous tongue is indeed passed down from generation to generation. Li Ming was impressed.

Luo Chuan looked indifferent, not angry at all, and said, "I've talked to Lisa. Did she tell me how many people you've killed recently, how many women you've slept with, and whether you've worn safety precautions?"

"Luochuan, you've gone too far." Ya Luo, who was originally joking, suddenly had red eyes. He walked up quickly and shouted in a deep voice.

"Hey, hey..." Li Ming hurriedly stopped him. Luo Chuan was calm and said slowly: "Don't worry, I told her everything you didn't say."

"Fuck you, Old Feng!" Yalu roared with gritted teeth, pulled out a dagger from his waist and rushed forward to kill him.

After three minutes, the three of them sat down, and Li Ming also figured out who Lisa was.

Lisa was also Wu Yanqing's student, and a female student, but she is dead now.

At that time, Wu Yanqing had not yet become famous. He was just an ordinary tutor with only three students: Yaluo, Lisa, and Luochuan.

However, Yaluo and Lisa were in love, but something unexpected happened. Lisa was forcibly taken away by the son of a powerful noble, and then committed suicide.

The other party was the descendant of a certain important figure, and the matter was finally resolved.

Yalu was naturally filled with rage, but he could only endure it temporarily. This was also the fuse for Wu Yanqing to leave Blue Star.

When Wu Yanqing became successful and Ya Luo became capable, he directly captured that guy, tortured him to death, and killed many people.

It caused quite a stir, but at that time Wu Yanqing was at the peak of his career, and Ya Luo ended up just leaving Jingnanxing.

"I haven't asked you yet, why did you bear to come back? Can't you make it out there?" Luo Chuan said leisurely.

Ya Luo sneered: "Bullshit, I don't know how well I've been doing. If the teacher hadn't specifically begged me, there's no way I would have come back."

"What trouble did you get into?" Luo Chuan asked himself.

"I told you it was the teacher who asked me to come back!" Yaluo's eyebrows twitched.

"The City of Stars can't survive anymore?" Luo Chuan turned the virtual screen and saw a wanted order, which was certainly not an official one.

"Star Hunters - a large-scale plundering group. Why would they issue a wanted order for you?" Luo Chuan continued to torture.

Ya Luo was silent and said in annoyance: "It has nothing to do with you. This is just a small matter. Don't you see that we only want the living and not the dead?"

"That's exactly what I'm curious about. Did you steal their things?"

Yaluo did not respond, knowing that he could never win the argument with Luochuan. He turned to look at Li Ming, only to see that he had a small robot in his hand, only as tall as his fingers, with extremely slender arms, and it was turning its head.

"Hey, what is this? A model robot?" He came over curiously, "Where did you buy it?"

"It's a little gadget I made before." Li Ming said casually. This was what he made using his [Mechanical Construction] ability.

It was originally an intelligent terminal, which was constructed into a mechanical body by consuming about five times the metal energy required for control.

"By the way, I heard from the people in the lab that you are very good at mechanics." Yaluo suddenly remembered and couldn't help but sighed: "That's amazing. If someone like you were in the City of Stars, you would definitely be very successful."

"Oh? Are they in great need of people like me over there?" Li Ming put away the robot and asked.

"It's not just a shortage, it's an extreme shortage!" Ya Luo emphasized: "The City of Stars is located in the Red River Star Stream. If you want to go there alone, you will have a lot of trouble along the way. Therefore, most of the life forms are quite powerful. How can they have time to think about these things?"

"Not to mention that you have to reach a certain level. Mechanical maintenance, manufacturing, medical treatment, etc. are all very popular."

However, Yaluo shrugged again and said, "Of course, what I mean by welcome is before you join them. It's hard to say what kind of treatment you will receive after you join them."

Li Ming understood that there were no laws in the City of Stars, so they would definitely not pay him wages.

"That's not a good place." Luo Chuan seemed to see what Li Ming was thinking and reminded him, "There are no laws, no rules, no one to protect you, death is always with you, no one cares who kills you, and no one will avenge you."

"Who said there are no rules?" Ya Luo was dissatisfied. "There are rules. They are just rough. If there were fighting all day long, no one would want to go."

"I'm just asking. I'm curious." Li Ming smiled.

.........

There is no silver in the starry sky, and the meteorite belt stretches for tens of millions of kilometers. On one of the meteorites, there is a metal base everywhere.

The leader of the Torch Organization stared at the virtual screen in front of him with an extremely ugly expression, "Six Flame Apostles, all wiped out!?"

"Chief, there is another one. He is on the run and has not been discovered yet." The person on the screen reported.

"Is there any difference?" The leader's eyes were grim.

The other person shuddered and lowered his head.

"What a great Asmara, what a great Wu Yanqing, they are so patient and are really not afraid of accidents." The leader murmured.

"Chief, are we still going to catch Li Ming?" the subordinate on the screen asked again.

"How do we catch her?" The leader suddenly raised his head and said in a cold voice, "Asmara is on Jingnan Star. She is clearly coming for me. This matter ends here for now."

"clear."

After ending the call, the leader returned to his chair. The huge room was silent. He flipped the screen and clicked on a recording.

"I...found it. I finally found it..." It was Wu Yanqing's experimental log. His eyes flickered. "Wu Yanqing, what did you find?"

Just as he was thinking about it, the smart terminal vibrated again, and it was not a link to the star network.

After answering the call, the other party quickly said: "Boss, we received an anonymous message."

"What anonymous information?" The leader frowned. After receiving the file sent by the other party, he suddenly stood up with a look of surprise.

"real or fake!"

"I don't know, but Princess Asmara is now confirmed to be in Jingnan Star, so maybe we can give it a try." The other party spoke hesitantly.

The leader paced back and forth, seemingly in thought. After a long while, he said in a deep voice:
"Go and give it a try. If it is true, then there is hope that the ruins of civilization can be opened. The legendary interstellar treasure will be our hope for rise!"

.........

Early the next morning, Ford came to Li Ming and said straight to the point: "I have contacted my father, and I will definitely give you the top-level C-level gene seeds."

"When?" asked Li Ming, who was tinkering with metal parts.

"My father needs to contact the gene seed preparation department. The royal family usually has gene sequences, so this top-level C-grade gene seed is not cost-effective. It will take about half a month." Ford explained: "When you arrive at the Itlan civilization, it will definitely be prepared."

"Wait until I reach the Itlan civilization?" Li Ming frowned. "When do we leave?"

"In two or three days."

"So fast?" Li Ming was quite surprised.

Ford asked curiously, "You have finished all the things you need to do, why are you still staying here?"

"I see." Li Ming nodded thoughtfully. Ford asked tentatively, "Are you sure you don't want to vote for Princess Asmara?"

"Do you really want me to join her?" Li Ming asked back.

"Not really." Ford said embarrassedly.

Li Mingze said: "They don't even plan to see me, so why should I bother to show my affection to them?"

Butt? Whose butt? Ford looked strange.

"The teacher said that my gene seed is with Isius, and it's clear that I have to lick that guy." Li Ming shook his head, "I'm not interested."

"Yes!" Ford's spirits perked up slightly, and he said in unison, "Then Isius is not a normal person, he is a psychopath."

As he spoke, he looked around and lowered his voice, "He has that kind of complex about Princess Asmara... You are equivalent to betraying Princess Asmara, it would be strange if he would treat you well."

Li Ming was slightly stunned, and looked at Isius in surprise: "According to seniority, Princess Asamara is not him..."

"Yes, that's why he is a mentally ill prince. Otherwise, why would he defect to Asmara?" Ford agreed repeatedly. In order to make Li Ming face the reality, he even told him about this scandal.

"Do you two have a grudge against each other?" Li Ming asked with narrowed eyes.

"Uh..." Ford looked embarrassed, his eyes wandering, "Yes, it's a bit festive."

"I helped you kill him, what happened to him?" Li Ming suddenly said.

Ford was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Haha, stop joking. If you really kill him, I will recognize you as my big brother."

"It's boring to be the eldest brother." Li Ming shook his head.

"If you kill him, you can set the conditions. Is that ok?" Ford shook his head. He didn't care and treated it as a joke.

After chatting for a while, Ford left.

Li Ming's mouth curled slightly, and a metal pendant appeared in his hand. He opened it slightly, reflecting a holographic image -
"How about I help you kill him..."

"If you kill him, you can set the conditions..."

At this moment, Ford, who had already left, turned back and said with a gloomy face: "Isius is here. He should be looking for you. I don't want to run into him."

"Ixus..." Li Ming calmly put away the metal pendant. He was not surprised, nor did he refuse to meet.

In the reception room, this prince was indeed given a higher status than Ford, with a Class B life form providing close protection.

"Hello, His Highness Isius." Li Ming took the initiative to extend his left hand.

Isius was slightly startled, and Li Ming said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the injury on my right hand hasn't healed yet."

"It's okay." Isius was very kind today and stretched out his left hand unskillfully.

The two shook hands and quickly let go.

For some reason, Isius felt that Li Ming's eyes became hotter.

[Subspace Folding Ring: A ring made of dimensional adamantium that accommodates the Subspace folding technology.

Control conditions: 3 million metal energy
Mastery Effect: Subspace Folding
Control ability - Space flash: can travel through space within a range of 10m. 】

This was the first pure A-level control object that Li Ming encountered. Perhaps because it was just an auxiliary equipment, it only required three million metal energies to control it.

But what surprised him was that the effect was actually a portable space, and the ability actually ignored the folding of space.

Good stuff, really good stuff.

"Sit down, sit down." Li Ming was quite enthusiastic. Isius was surprised, but also very satisfied.

He said gently, "Mr. Li Ming, I had too many things to do yesterday and I didn't have a good chat with you. It was a pity, so I came to visit you today."

"Your Highness is busy, and it is normal." Li Ming followed suit.

Isius nodded slightly. "I am a straightforward person, so I will just say it straight. Professor Wu is Princess Asmara's best friend."

"Princess Asmara has been paying attention to you for a long time and has been looking forward to it. She has even prepared a C-level gene seed for you."

"But..." Isius sighed, "I shouldn't have said these words, but I admire you very much. I still want to remind you that waiting for the right price and being a fence-sitter are not good habits."

"It's a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding." Li Ming said immediately: "I also have great respect for Princess Asmara, and I will never be a fence-sitter."

Isius stared at him, as if trying to determine whether what he said was true or not. After a long moment, he smiled and said, "I hope so. In addition, there is another thing we came here for today. We received an anonymous tip saying that you might be the seed of the torch."

"Of course this is nonsense, but the other party provided some clues about you embezzling 40 million experimental funds to support the Torch Organization."

"According to the data, you said that part of those materials were consumed by you, and part were looted by the torch."

Isius pondered for a moment, "Can you tell me what you did with the alloy materials you consumed?"
