This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 175: Collector's Joy [Matter Reorganization Maker] (Sorry, sorry, it's late again)

"I've touched so many things, it doesn't matter." Li Ming waved his hand, "Which one does the customer want me to fix? Or fix all of them?"

Ulrich's eyes flickered slightly, "Then let's fix them all."

Li Ming was a little surprised, and after calculating the formation, he said, "This Eight Sound Ball is not easy to repair, and the Dream Alloy is extremely rare."

"No problem, I have it." Ulrich said immediately, "Just name a price, sir."

"Hmm..." Li Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, "If you provide the materials, these three things together will add up to 100 million."

"One hundred million star coins?" Huo Tan couldn't help but said, "Your price is too high. My master has already provided the materials."

"Materials are nothing." Li Ming said nonchalantly: "The most important thing is technology. There are only a handful of people who have mastered the sound cavity resonance source flow technology of the Eight-tone Ball."

"That's the price." Ulrich didn't bargain. "How many days do you need?"

"It may take a while, maybe about ten days." Li Ming pondered for a while.

"Ten days?" Ulrich was stunned again, and then nodded, "Okay, I'll come to you in ten days, and the materials will be delivered soon."

He was very decisive and just put down his things and left.

After they left the house, Huo Tan couldn't help but ask, "Master, do you trust him so much?"

"Didn't you bring me here to see him?" Ulrich asked, "Why don't you have confidence in him?"

"I just thought that this is a talented person and I would like to see if I can recruit him for my own use," Huotan explained. "But he seems to have surprised you, which makes me feel uneasy."

"Yeah, if he can really fix it, I'll have found a treasure." Ulrich clenched and then opened his hands.

"But what if he can't fix it?" Huo Tan couldn't help asking again.

"Can't be repaired?" Ulrich smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

……

"Just throw the things here, and you're not afraid of running away. This is the confidence of an A-level life form." Li Ming looked at the items in front of him and called Ya Luo, "Close the store for a few days."

"Ah?" Yaluo couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"

This business is booming, why is it closing down suddenly?

"It's a big business." Li Ming didn't explain too much. The original idea of ​​opening this repair shop was to catch the big fish, Ulrich.

Now that the big fish has been hooked, there is no need to open the store.

"Okay." Yaluo left without knowing why.

Li Ming looked at the items in front of him and thought to himself, "Dealing with Ulrich is like trying to get the skin of a tiger. After all, he is an A-level life form, so there is little room for me to maneuver."

"But in the initial contact, he said something similar to Ya Luo, generally not using violence as the first resort."

"However, with this favorable wind, the Star Hunter can do nothing to me, and even get some wool from him. I can be called a collector... Tsk..."

I sorted out the thoughts in my mind.

Of course, he dared to hook the big fish Ulrich, relying on his knowledge of the collector, which was not heard from Yaro.

But -
[Thermonuclear implosion bomb—consumable: a bomb with extremely high power.

Control conditions: 1.5 million metal energies.

Control Effect - Thermonuclear Reaction: Temporarily upgrade to Class B life form and gain 1000% fire element blessing. 】

This was the trump card he bought on the black hole network after arriving at the floating island. One card was worth 70 million.

The little metal energy left in his body was all invested in this thing.

This is what he relies on. If he gets out of control, there is still room for maneuver.

.........

The closure of the shop caused quite a stir. Good mechanics were extremely rare in the Land of Stars, and three of them had been cleared out by Li Ming, leaving even fewer choices.

Many interstellar villains who came here for the store saw that they had made a wasted trip and gathered at the door of the store, making a lot of noise and even attracted the attention of the island guards, who forcibly expelled them.

This surprised many people, as there were conflicts in the streets, and Ulrich's guards did not react so quickly.

This unusual behavior is thought-provoking.

Ten days flew by.

That day, Yaluo and Kai were bored. Kai had almost gotten used to this kind of life and even felt it was pretty good, which made him often scold himself.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell rang and Yaluo raised his eyebrows. No one had dared to knock on the door for a long time since Ulrich's guards came last time.

"Who is it?" He opened the door and looked, hesitantly, then recognized the other person.

This was the last business deal that Li Ming made before closing the store. Li Ming also instructed that if these two people came, they should be let in.

"So it's you two. Please come in." Yaluo turned aside and Ulrich nodded. "Where's the boss?"

"He went out and hasn't come back yet," Yaluo explained.

"Gone out?" Huo Tan's heart tightened a little. The guards who were secretly monitoring him didn't even report anything?
Ulrich didn't care, "Then wait for him for a while."

The two men sat down and Kai stood in the corner. He thought he had nothing to do with it, but he didn't understand why one of them kept looking at him.

Suddenly, Ulrich spoke up: "I have a little hobby. I like to collect very interesting little things. I wonder if you two have any."

Ya Luo was slightly stunned. "Gadgets? What do you mean?"

Kai walked to the left and found that the other person's eyes were always following him. Then he realized that the other person was talking to him.

Yaluo also reacted, looking at Kai, then at Ulrich, and then at Kai again.

Suddenly he gasped, took two steps back, and felt a surge of fear in his heart.

He was not stupid, in fact he was quite smart, and he had already guessed the other party's identity, Ulrich!
He swallowed hard. What on earth was Li Ming doing?
Did he know that the other person was Ulrich? He should...know, right?

"People like you should have them all." Ulrich added. Kai was a little slow to react, but he also understood and glanced at Yaluo cautiously: "I don't have them."

"No..." Ulrich added, a little disappointed.
"I'm willing to pay a high price, anything will do, especially something that you don't know what it does, but your family members force it on you when you run away, and tell you that people can die but things can't be lost."

Kai was stunned, the golden vertical pupil appeared in his mind. How could it be exactly the same as what his father told him?

"Really?" Ulrich showed some interest again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ya Luo hurriedly said, "Sir."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt an invisible force pressing on him, making him unable to say anything, and his heart felt cold.

"You two are early." The door opened and Li Ming walked in. Ulrich paused, and Yaluo felt the pressure on him disappear without a trace. "I can't wait." Ulrich looked at the box in Li Ming's hand.

"Haha...don't worry." Li Ming closed the door casually. Yaluo was terrified, fearing that Ulrich would crush them to death the next moment.

He threw the box on the table and opened it casually. Three items that had already been completely renewed were placed in front of Ulrich.

Ulrich's eyes suddenly became hot, as if he had forgotten everyone else. He picked up the silver ball in the center and tapped it lightly.

Soft sound waves rippled out from it, gently brushing everyone's ears. The sound was ethereal, as if it came from the depths of the universe.

Ulrich's arms trembled slightly, and he slowly closed his eyes. "Seven hundred and fifty-six years ago, this eight-tone ball was placed at the head of my bed."

This guy is over 700 years old? He is really able to live...

Li Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and listened to him continue.

"I have looked for three big mechanics in succession, and none of them can guarantee that they can fix it."

What the hell? Yaluo, who was immersed in the music, was suddenly brought back to reality by these words.

Even the great mechanic couldn't fix it? But Li Ming could fix it? ?

Is Li Ming better than the Great Mechanic?

Kai was surprised, his throat rolling. This guy turned out to be a great mechanic. He had speculated about their identities more than once during this period.

But he didn't have a smart terminal and couldn't find any information.

I only knew that the other party was an extremely powerful B-level life form, but I didn't expect that he was also a great mechanic.

Even in their Judge civilization, his father had to treat a great mechanic with courtesy.

After a moment, Collection looked at it carefully again, his eyes more amazed, "What a perfect craftsmanship, I even suspected that you created another one out of thin air, but this is impossible."

"I really can't see any signs of repairs. How did you do that?"

He couldn't help asking. Li Ming smiled faintly, "Guest, every mechanic has his own special skills."

Ulrich laughed. "That's right. Although I know a little about mechanics, I don't know much about it. Even if you tell me, I won't understand."

I checked the remaining two items, both were in perfect condition with no signs of repair.

Ulrich thought for a long time before coming up with an adjective: "As if it had just come off an assembly line."

"One hundred million star coins, I'll transfer it to you right away." Ulrich paid the bill on the spot, and Li Ming smiled.

Including this money and the remaining materials, he has earned about 1.2 million metal energy from this business. Adding the accumulation from the previous half month, he has already earned 2 million metal energy.

"I look forward to working with you next time. It's rare to find someone so wealthy." Li Ming stretched out his hand, and Yaluo's cheeks twitched wildly.

“Not next time, this time will do.” Ulrich raised his hand, and Hotan behind him put the suitcase in his hand on the table.

After multiple verifications and slowly opening it, what appeared in front of Li Ming was a fist-sized square piece of broken metal. It was bright blue and shiny, and there seemed to be nothing special about it.

"What is this?" Li Ming was surprised.

"Would you like to take a look, sir?" Ulrich stretched out his hand.

Li Ming walked forward, picked it up, and a flash of horror flashed across his eyes--
[Matter Reconstruction Device - Class A (Broken): The core weapon from the Patriel civilization, possessing unpredictable power.

Control conditions: 10 million metal energy
Control Effect: Trait - Legion
Control ability - Material reorganization: Only drawings and materials or metal energy are needed to produce finished products. Note (due to severe damage, large items cannot be produced.)]

There is such a thing! ?
Ten million metal energies, the most top-level A-level control object, but it is still in a severely damaged state. What if it is intact?
The control effect even showed some "characteristics" that had never been seen before.

Li Ming was shocked, which caused his expression to become tense.

"You really recognized him." Ulrich was very satisfied with Li Ming's reaction.

"This thing actually exists..." Li Ming said, as if he had seen an incomparable treasure, "The advanced craftsmanship of the Patriel civilization, a treasure that has long been lost, is actually in your hands!"

"What a good eye!" Ulrich laughed, as if he had met a confidant. "I have never seen anyone who can tell the origin of this thing at a glance. You are the first."

Yaluo swallowed his saliva and looked at Li Ming who was chatting and laughing with Ulrich. He felt an indescribable sense of strangeness. Is this really his teacher's student?
"Sir, can it be repaired?" Ulrich asked further.

"Hmm..." Li Ming put the thing down, "You should be the collector, Ulrich."

Ulrich was not surprised at all that his identity was exposed, and nodded slightly: "Ulrich, hello, Excellency."

His body shape changed, then returned to its original state, with the tail swaying behind him.

"You're welcome." Li Ming greeted, "I originally just wanted to open a repair shop and keep my name secret for a while, but I didn't expect to attract the attention of Mr. Ulrich."

"A person of great reputation will never be unknown no matter where he goes." Ulrich smiled, "Sir, you haven't answered my question yet."

"The technology behind this thing is too complicated, and the materials used are ones I have almost never seen before." Li Mingsi said.

Ulrich immediately said with great wealth: "Materials are not a problem. I have some experience over the years."

Hearing this, Li Ming's heart couldn't help but tremble, good, good, good!
"I just ask whether it can be repaired from a technical perspective."

Li Ming paced back and forth in the room. Yaluo and Kai's breathing almost stopped. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not 100% sure. I can only say that I will try."

Even so, Ulrich smiled. "I believe you, sir. How long will it take?"

Li Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I can't tell you an exact time. I'm afraid there's no hope in the short term."

The skills displayed before can be explained by being a great mechanic, but if this thing is repaired in a short time, it really cannot be explained.

Ulrich was not surprised, but took it for granted, "It's okay, I'll fix it first, I have plenty of time..."

At this point, the A-level life form paused and said, "There will always be time."

Li Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Sir, you have time, but I can't stay here for too long."

"Oh? What's wrong?" Ulrich looked inquiring.

Yaluo couldn't understand what Li Ming was doing now. Since he had already shown his value, Ulrich would never let him leave easily.

"Private matter..." Li Ming said helplessly.

Ulrich thought, "If there is something wrong, it is certainly understandable."

"However, because of some of the things you did before, the Star Hunters are now very interested in you. If you leave here, you will most likely be targeted by them."

"When I went to attend the meeting about the joint fleet, the Star Hunter leader asked me to hand you over."

Ulrich's attitude was very calm, but the meaning of his words was self-evident. "But once someone enters my trading island, it's impossible for me to hand them over just like that."

Li Ming's expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down and said helplessly, "I understand."
