This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 184 [Whale Origin Reagent] [Changes of Field Doctors]

"The honeymoon period is almost over. It's normal not to want to give it." Li Ming thought for a moment.

The collector wants him to work for him rather than provide him with various conveniences. He didn't mind giving him some sweet treats when they first met him, but now he is unwilling to give him more benefits.

This was within his expectations, so he shook his head and continued to develop the gene seeds.

The floating islands in the Land of Stars move along special trajectories, with various aircraft shuttling back and forth constantly.

During the time when the Star King disappeared, a lot of it was shattered for various reasons. Several A-level life forms, including the Collector, tried to reproduce the floating island transformation technology, but they were unable to achieve 100% restoration.

Five days later, Saber arrived, carrying a metal box.

The two of them understood each other tacitly. Li Ming invited him into the room. Saber looked a little hesitant, as if he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Li Mingze took the initiative to ask: "What did the adult behind you say?"

Upon hearing this, Saber immediately said, "My lord, let me thank you first."

Li Ming smiled faintly and nodded, waiting for the next words.

Sabre was also very tactful. He picked up the box he brought and opened it. Cold liquid nitrogen gas flowed out, forming a layer of white mist on the ground, and the temperature dropped a few degrees.

A cooling box? Li Ming was surprised.

Saber used the metal pliers placed in the interlayer of the box to pick out a test tube filled with black medicine.

Facing Li Ming's puzzled look, he explained: "[Whale Source Reagent], this is a genetic medicine made from the heart essence of the dome whale."

Li Ming observed carefully and found that the density was quite high, with a few starlight, like a dazzling galaxy.

Li Ming had never heard of this kind of creature, and his eyes subconsciously revealed suspicion, so he did not take it immediately.

Saber saw Li Ming's hesitation and immediately turned on the smart terminal, opened the Black Hole Network in front of him, and clicked on a document that he had just purchased.

Li Ming took it and found that it was the basic information related to the Dome Whale, which was no different from what the other party said.

The Dome Whale is a social interstellar creature, and the strength level of an adult can reach up to A-level life form.

Its heart essence has a very special effect. It can stimulate the genes of most living things and bring about an enhancement effect.

When this was discovered, there was a whaling craze in the interstellar space. Due to large-scale hunting, whales are now a key protected species of the Interstellar Alliance.

Due to the particularity of the genetic evolution path, most enhancement drugs have the risk of inducing genetic mutations.

Reagents that do not affect the genetic sequence of a living organism and can enhance its strength are extremely rare, even in the vast interstellar space.

Li Ming nodded, still not accepting it, but said: "Such a precious gift, I dare not accept it casually."

"You probably have guessed the specific situation." Saber carefully put the reagent back, and then whispered: "I would like to ask you to fix the owner of that arm."

"Fixed?" Li Ming was not surprised, but still shook his head: "Perhaps I didn't explain it clearly before. The cost of repairing it is too high. These three tubes of medicine are far from enough."

After Saber left last time, he roughly estimated that the information on the black hole network stated that the star king was a fully modified mechanical body.

Not counting the additional mechanical components, only the modified parts on his whole body are intended to completely eliminate the invasion of the nanomechanical insects.

It requires no less than one billion metal energies. This number is too terrifying. It is equivalent to controlling his entire body, or maybe even more.

Not to mention these three tubes of medicine, even thirty or three hundred tubes would not be enough.

"I understand..." Saber was not surprised, and said, "These things are just a welcome gift from the adults, and a small reward for the last repair."

"Oh?" Li Ming was slightly stunned. Is that Star King so wealthy?

In this case, he did not lie and stretched out his hand to take it. Saber paused, and while handing the box over, he said, "The lord's situation is special, and the price he paid is something that even he cannot afford now."

Li Ming stopped moving. Are you really trying to get it for free from me? If I take it, you want to buy it on credit?
He emphasized: "First of all, I'm not stingy. The last time I cleaned up that arm, I consumed a lot of my inventory. I won't accept advance payment."

"My Lord does not mean to repair it completely, but just to make him move so that he can go and retrieve more of what is left behind as payment," Saber explained.

Li Ming was relieved and took the cooling box. He was quite surprised. He didn't expect that the Star King was unable to move now.

Ordinary civilizations probably don't have such means. As the king who rules the land of stars, he is definitely not a simple A-level life form.

The divided land of stars is now ruled by five A-level life forms, not to mention the past.

"He wants to move?" Li Ming groaned. "I haven't seen the specific injuries, so it's hard to estimate to what extent he needs to be healed before he can move."

Saber said immediately: "The master has been deeply corroded for many years. He knows that we only need to repair his energy engine to about 30% and clean up the other mechanical components, and he will probably be able to move again."

"What do you need as payment? Star coins? Or something else?"

He then asked, this time he came here to determine the other party's attitude, whether he was willing to practice, and whether it would expose the existence of the Star King.

On the other hand, it is to show goodwill, and on the other hand, it is to determine what Li Ming really needs.

"Well, it's better to give me metal materials. The more precious the better." Li Ming thought. If he gave him star coins, it must be a transaction on the Black Hole Network. He still had to buy materials and become a leek.

At the same time, he made up a simple excuse: "Those nanomechanical bugs are only sensitive to metal materials, so... it's a bit complicated to explain, you understand."

"Precious metal materials..." Saber was relieved when he heard Li Ming's request. As a mechanically modified body, Star King had to be repaired.

At its peak, a lot of metal materials had been accumulated, and in some secret places, many things are still hidden.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone the former ruler of the Land of Stars.

"Okay, I understand. I'll deliver the things as soon as possible." Saber nodded and hurried away.

When they reached the dock, Saber paused, suddenly thinking of something, looking back, and muttered, "I almost forgot to tell him to get the injection under supervision."

However, considering the current situation, he shook his head, "After all, a B-level life form won't have any problems."

He is a medical practitioner who is proficient in medicine and is very confident.

That great mechanic, Jessia, and Ulrich seemed to have been each other's subordinates. No one knew what trouble they had gotten into that led to them being beaten like this.

In the room, Li Ming thought in his mind and then looked at the cooler in his hand.

The other party is still counting on me to save his life, so there shouldn't be any problem with this thing.

Li Ming did not hesitate, picked up a tube of reagent, and injected it into his body. He could clearly feel the cold liquid swimming around his body, causing severe pain. The veins near his temples were throbbing, and the muscle fibers seemed to be torn. Li Ming clenched his teeth and gasped. After a long time, waves of heat rose from his body, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.
"Does it hurt so much?" Li Ming frowned, but he didn't feel any discomfort in his body. He felt that his body had indeed become much stronger and very clear.

[Whale Source Reagent] requires at least three tubes to cause qualitative changes, and a maximum of three tubes can be injected, otherwise there will be a risk of genetic abnormalities.

The accurate data was obtained through a large number of experiments.

After resting for a while, Li Ming injected the remaining [Whale Source Reagent] into his body. More black liquid mixed into his blood. He felt palpitations, and some subtle parts of his body began to change. Black appeared in the bottom of his eyes.

After the injection, Li Ming's body stiffened, and a complex feeling of coldness and heat exploded in his body. If the pain before was just a small river, now it was a surging river or sea.

His feet were unsteady and he staggered. He lay down on the sofa, breathing heavily and beads of sweat rolled down his face.

He gritted his teeth tightly, and the nerve endings in his body transmitted the churning and tearing pain to his brain. Every blood vessel was beating and bulging.

He felt like his whole body was being torn apart. It was not an illusion. The surface of his skin was truly covered in bloody cracks. Flames, electric arcs, and storms surged out and raged in the room.

"Fuck, that's not right!" Li Ming's only remaining consciousness made him open the control bar, switch to the strongest control system at present, and then activate [Field Medical Care]

The reason why the medical system is not used directly is because the recovery capacity of the current medical system is not high.

It is better to use the combat power system, then activate [Thunder Frenzy], and then convert the thunder element blessing into recovery blessing.

In an instant, he felt a warm power flowing through his body. The pressure on his body suddenly lightened, his heart beat stronger, and the more than twenty-fold recovery benefit was quite obvious.

The cracks on the surface of his skin began to repair at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, the pain eased a little and the injuries on his body were almost healed.

Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt his eyes sore. After rubbing them, he felt that the world in front of him suddenly became clear.

The dust in the corners, the traces of electric arcs on the walls, the fluff floating in the air, everything seems to be clearly visible, and perception seems to be enhanced a lot.

My heart moved slightly, and after opening the control bar, I couldn't help but be stunned.

[Under deep stimulation, [Field Doctor] has changed, please check. ]

He took a look and found that the recovery bonus increased from 200% to 300%.

The recovery bonus ratio of [Battlefield Medical Care] has been increased from 50% to 70%.

He has experienced the powerful effect of the recovery blessing. The serious injuries just now could be repaired quickly. Now it is further improved and the effect is even more powerful.

It can even be said that the physical energy consumed by using various abilities is almost equal to the recovery speed.

"I can actually improve my professional performance in this way. I have to pay special attention to it in the future." He kept it in mind and couldn't help but clench his fists. The swelling feeling coming from his body was very clear.

The changes in [Field Doctor] are only one aspect.

He walked to the energy level detector at the corner of the room and smashed it with a bang.

"67C!"

The energy level has increased by about 15%. Li Ming estimated, "The development progress is 30%, and the energy level is close to 70C. When it reaches 60%, it should reach the lowest energy level standard of Class B."

He was in a good mood, but the severe pain just now still bothered him. He opened the Black Hole Network again and purchased an additional copy of the relevant information.

After reading it word by word, Li Ming finally realized where the problem lay.

"Concentration..." Li Ming was speechless. Since the Dome Whale was already a key protected animal of the Interstellar Alliance, such detailed data had long been out of circulation.

What Saber showed him was the basic information.

Depending on the different life levels, the tolerable concentration of the drug is also different. Level B life can withstand a concentration of 75%.

But the upper limit of C-class life forms is 50%. He suspected that the concentration of the drug should be 75%. Because he appeared to be a B-class life form, Saber might not care about this issue at all.

It was a misunderstanding, so he couldn't blame them, but this information made him understand [Whale Source Reagent] better.

One injection is enough, and it will play a corresponding role as the life level improves.

The academic term is "broadening the genetic width of living organisms."

This is also an important reason why the Dome Whale was almost hunted to extinction. For example, the refined potions of the Itlan civilization need to be re-injected at each level.

For this, one injection is enough. The difference between the two is self-evident.

"There are a lot of good things here. I hope they can bring me more metal energy." The harvest this time is good, and this is just the gift from the Star King.

He doesn't have much metal energy in his body, and it has been consumed all the time, basically turning into his strength and foundation.

Two more days passed and Saber still hadn't come, but Li Ming, who was developing genetic seeds, received an unexpected call.

"Blake?" Li Ming was quite surprised. He looked at the virtual screen that popped up on the bracelet. It was a video call.

This field agent from the Interstellar Alliance's anti-plunder department should have been avoiding him since he left here last time.

"Are you really going to spend 10 billion to buy Kai?" Li Ming muttered and chose to answer the call.

Blake popped out with a serious look on his face, and before he could speak, he heard a sentence.

"The 10 billion has been approved?"

Blake almost couldn't hold it in, his face darkened, and he coughed twice, "Sir Qinglong, please don't joke."

"No..." Li Ming said disappointedly, "Then why did you contact me suddenly?"

"I'm here because I have important news." Blake put his hands behind his back, "We received a tip that the Torch Organization seems to be very interested in you recently."

"Oh..." Li Ming frowned slightly. Why is it this lingering organization again?

He was quite wary of this organization, mainly because those dimensional creatures had unpredictable abilities that were difficult to infer using common sense.

"The Torch Organization has been looking for a Grand Mechanic recently. There are suspected to be several Grand Mechanics in contact with them in several nearby star clusters." Blake gave a brief introduction and was a little shocked when he looked at the big face on the screen.

No wonder this guy was able to call on the collector for protection, it turns out he is a great mechanic.

When he learned the relevant information afterwards, he felt a little scared, but he was also very confused. How could a great mechanic hide his identity and hang around in the Land of Stars?
The Torch Organization is looking for a master mechanic? Li Ming's mind seemed to spark, and he immediately thought of the Torch attack on Asmara's research laboratory.
