This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 193: Explosive Development Speed ​​[Extreme Transformation]

"If I drink it now, wouldn't it be a waste?" Li Ming smiled and then drank it all in one gulp. The cold and sticky liquid rolled down his throat and then quickly became hot, as if he had drunk a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid.

The burning pain in the stomach gradually became more intense and quickly spread to other parts of the body. The cells were quickly mobilized, and all kinds of elemental forces hidden deep inside burst out.

The electric arc in the room was blazing brightly. Li Ming was sweating all over. The tingling and numbness kept coming like a tide, one wave higher than the other, making his eyes a little dazed.

Increasing root development potential may seem like a simple few words, but in fact it is extremely difficult.

[Casablanca Flower], this material used to concoct S-level gene seeds, can only be used under the tenth level of development potential.

There is not even enough data to determine how much it can increase, and there is no evidence that anyone would use this precious material to enhance genetic potential.

Li Ming was breathing heavily, and he felt as if there was a furnace burning fiercely inside his body, which was about to completely melt him in the next moment.

"It hurts so much!"

Li Ming groaned and gritted his teeth, his heart pounding and his boiling blood roaring, ready to gush out from all the blood vessels in his body.

This was even comparable to the transformation that occurred when the life level was raised. The surface of the skin was interwoven with golden lines and blue-black blood vessels were bulging. The two intertwined to form a horrifying picture.

Li Ming gritted his teeth and held on for a moment, then he skillfully used [Field Medical Care]. After the last transformation, the 70% conversion blessing was even more amazing.

The golden lines all over the surface of his body were melting away at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if a cool energy was soothing his rioting cells and gradually entering a virtuous cycle.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Li Ming slowly opened his eyes and exhaled. His body was filled with a feeling of fullness and he felt as if he was floating.

It is a feeling that is hard to describe. It seems as if nothing has changed, yet it seems as if a lot has changed. It's like a layer of dusty shell has been shed, and the whole person becomes extremely relaxed.

After a pause, he took out the only gene radiator he had left. Detecting development progress was only one of its functions, it could also detect genetic potential.

"Ding—Level 5!"

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. His original development potential was only level one, but now it has directly become level five, a full five times increase.

"If the original development speed boost was 1 times, then now it is 5 times the development speed boost..." Li Ming made a simple conversion.

The true development speed cannot be quantified, but this conversion still makes him excited.

Just as he was about to put away the gene radiator, his mind moved and he switched to another mode.

“Ding—52%!”

Development progress has also increased? Li Ming was surprised. He had just felt something different and vaguely guessed that the development progress had increased. It turned out to be true after quantification.

"Why is it only increased by 10%..." He was not satisfied, feeling that it was too little, but shook his head, "The effect of this thing will not increase the development progress. It should be a side effect of the transformation process and an additional gain."

This was not a fantasy. He read the purchased information several times and found no description of this at all.

"Let's first see how much the development speed has increased."

The process of improving genetic potential took two or three hours. He was already able to switch the object of control and could not wait to try it.

However, once the control page is opened, a prompt pops up--
[After being deeply stimulated, the [Gene Warrior] has undergone changes, please check. ]

His professional abilities were also stimulated? Li Ming's heart moved slightly and he checked carefully.

I found out that [Gene Warrior] actually has a new ability--
[Extreme Transformation: When fusing B-level gene seeds, the special power left behind will bring about special changes.]

Li Ming was surprised, which means that part of the effect of [Flower of Casablanca] was intercepted.

[Extreme Transformation]…Tsk, Li Ming grinned, after taking this bite, all the gains made him in a good mood.

Although S-grade sounds high-end, this thing is just one of the materials, and not the main material.

Not only has every aspect been strengthened, but a portion of it has also been retained for future use. He is already very satisfied.

Continuing to switch the development system control objects, he felt the difference at the beginning, multiple evolutions were working together in his body, the activity of cells was boiling unprecedentedly, and various elemental energies emerged from the body surface.

"Accelerated is not enough to describe it, it's simply soaring!" Li Ming opened his eyes. He had experienced various development speeds.

The current development speed is even faster than its fastest time, when the development progress increased by 1% per day.

"This thing is a miracle medicine to me, but it's too precious." Li Ming pursed his lips.

The Casablanca Flower has an effect on development potential below level ten, which means that he can use it again.

Unfortunately, it’s really hard to get.

"There is a serious information gap with the interstellar civilization. If it weren't for chance, I might never have known that such a thing existed." Li Ming couldn't help but shook his head, and then continued with immersive development.

As he encountered more powerful life forms, he realized more and more clearly how terrifying it was that just by working hard, one could see progress.

Even if a C-level or B-level life form works hard for a month or half a year, it may be difficult to improve the development progress by 1%.

……

In a narrow space somewhere, the metal wall was covered with gray-brown marks and unknown stains.

Yaluo frowned, feeling the fishy smell coming from the toilet below which was covered with yellow alkali traces. The voice on the virtual screen kept fluctuating.

"Ya Luo, why did you contact me now? What happened? Where are you?" Wu Yanqing asked urgently.

"Teacher, it's not that I didn't want to contact you before, it's just that it was difficult to contact you." Ya Luo said helplessly, "I didn't report to you that I was safe the first time."

"Report that you are safe?" Wu Yanqing asked coldly, "It has been more than three months since you left. Are you reporting to me that you are safe now?"

Ya Luo sneered.

"Where are you guys? Is Li Ming still with you?" Wu Yanqing asked again: "Why hasn't he contacted me?"

You disappeared for months without anyone noticing, and now that you can't contact me, you're getting anxious? Ya Luo secretly complained, and then carefully explained: "Uh, we broke up."

"Separated?" Wu Yanqing's voice was filled with suppressed anger: "What did I tell you when I left?"

"Teacher, it was an unexpected situation. There was nothing I could do." Yaluo explained vaguely.

"Unexpected situation?" Wu Yanqing said coldly, "Is there nothing you can do about joining the anti-plunder department of the Interstellar Alliance?"

"This..." Yaluo was speechless.

"Tell me, what's going on? And that great mechanic Qinglong, is he really Li Ming's teacher?" Wu Yanqing said in a deep voice.

Ya Luo looked strange, hesitant to speak, touching the mimicry mask on his face, and remembered what Li Ming said before he left, "It's okay to tell the teacher the truth, but it's better not to tell it. Anyway, it's up to you."

Teacher, it's not that I don't care about the relationship between master and disciple, it's just that you have given too much. You are in danger of losing your life if you follow Asmara. If your memory is searched one day, you will be doomed.

"I don't know." Yaluo gritted his teeth.

"You... don't know?" Wu Yanqing was silent for a moment, his voice low.

Ya Luo was subconsciously horrified. If he confronted him, he knew he would be kicked out. "Ah, teacher, my signal is not very good. Please try again. Please try again~" He hung up in a hurry and wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

……

Later in the evening, Hotan, the collector's personal steward, arrived to invite him to the party.

Li Ming had already packed up and followed Huo Tan with the repaired items.

"Where's Cassis? I thought she would be the one to pick me up." Li Ming asked curiously.

"Miss Cassis has been stimulated and will not appear in the short term." Hotan smiled.

"I really should say sorry to her." Li Ming said helplessly.

Huo Tan smiled but said nothing.

After arriving at Ulrich's castle, the banquet hall had been almost set up. Two long tables were filled with all kinds of delicious food and fine wines. Most of them were things he had never seen before, but he saw quite a few familiar faces.

"Hey, aren't you the guy who tried to sneak attack me last time?" Li Ming's eyes lit up and he saw the one-eyed fishman not far away.

Frossard's body stiffened and he turned around silently, but he still felt a slight vibration on his back.

"What you're eating is... an octopus?" Li Ming looked at the octopus tentacles in the shark's mouth with a strange look in his eyes: "Isn't this considered cannibalism?"

"Of course not, it's just an ordinary creature. I'm an intelligent fishman." Frosa reluctantly explained, and then hurriedly said: "Sir Qinglong, it was a misunderstanding last time, please don't take it seriously."

"It's all in the past." Li Ming smiled and picked up the wine glass.

Frosa breathed a sigh of relief and clinked glasses with him. They had just returned to the Land of Stars and had learned a lot of information.

Not only is the origin of this blue dragon mysterious, it is also said to have caused a lot of trouble. Ulrich was having a headache all day long, not knowing whether to throw it away or to take it.

Anyone who dares to get close to him might be hacked to death by some force the next day.

"Ah..." Li Ming glanced at it and asked in surprise, "The Bloodstained Spear, wasn't this weapon made by me?"

Blood Wolf - Sislang tried to pretend that he heard nothing and turned to look elsewhere, but Li Ming had already walked in front of him, dragging Frosa.

Li Ming looked at it and said, "I remember the one I ordered seemed to be a centaur. How come it's on you?"

"I killed him and robbed him." Xisilan said indifferently.

"The Centaur is his subordinate. He was embarrassed to look for you, so he asked his men to go." Frosa whispered.

"You..." Sislang stared at Frosa, revealing his sharp teeth.

"Enough, stop embarrassing yourself here." A cold voice came, and the burly Sandro came from the corridor at the back, followed by a figure. Frosa and Sislang lowered their heads in awe.

Li Ming was no stranger to Sandro. His eyes fell on the figure that was barely half the height of Sandro. The figure looked like a human, with dry skin, and the most eye-catching thing was the pair of gray pupils.

He seemed to be seen through. The gray-eyed Theo, the master of the Night Eyes Mercenaries, was once the number one fighter under the Star King.

The seemingly burly Sandro was once just his deputy.

In the Land of Stars, there are only three A-level life forms who are subordinates of the Star King. According to Saber, although they have many grudges, they will help each other in time if there is any danger.

This banquet was obviously held to entertain these two people, and the others were their subordinates.

"Your Excellency Qinglong." Theo nodded, his tone cold and calm.

"Mr. Theo." Li Ming smiled and raised his glass.

Generally speaking, the status of a great mechanic is slightly lower than that of a Class A life form.

But he is different. Everyone knows the mysteries surrounding him.

There was no exchange of words between the three until Ulrich came over and Hortan tapped the metal cup in his hand, attracting the attention of everyone at the party.

Li Ming didn't care about Ulrich's speech. He looked around and saw that they were basically B-level life forms, about a dozen in total.

"Mr. Qinglong, the master invites you to go over there." Huo Tan walked slowly over and gestured with his hand.

Naturally, the three A-level life forms could not say much to these B-level life forms.

Li Ming was a little surprised. He left here and went to a separate room under the gaze of other B-level life forms.

"The great mechanic..." Frosa was full of envy, and so were the others.

……

"…Not long ago, the A-class life form of the Rossolos civilization, the Eternal Flame, Kutril, was severely damaged by the joint fleet…"

When Li Ming pushed the door open, Sandro was saying something. His burly figure seemed to occupy half of the room. He glanced at Li Ming, paused, and continued:

"After seven days of fleeing, he still couldn't avoid death."

Li Ming paused as he was about to sit down. An A-level life form died?

"A-level lifeform..." Ulrich said sadly, "I had contact with him half a year ago. What a pity."

"There's nothing to regret..." Sandro shook his head and sneered, "He was too confident. He didn't escape immediately, but stayed to resist. When he found something wrong, he didn't have the chance to leave anymore."

"The Combined Fleet was originally used by Yitlan to show off his power. He ran into the trap and sought his own death."

"Even an A-class life form cannot withstand an interstellar battleship of that size."

Theo added: "The most important thing is the A-level life form of the combined fleet."

"No, they didn't," Sandro interrupted.

"Are you sure?" Theo frowned.

"determine."

He stopped talking and sat on the sofa. Ulrich stroked his tail with his fingers and said, "It is difficult for an A-level life form to influence such a large-scale interstellar war."

Having said that, Sandro glanced at Theo vaguely.

Li Ming keenly captured this point, and combined with the [Flower of Casablanca], he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Theo has developed to 100% of A-level and is preparing to evolve into an S-level life form?

It's not impossible. According to Saber, Theo was already an A-level life form when he followed the Star King.

He felt a little nervous, because [Flower of Casablanca] was the key material, and now that it was lost, this person must be in a bad mood.

I was invited here, wasn't it just because of this matter?
