This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 231: Deal with Theo, Occupation [Assassin] Continuous Promotion Evolution Completion and Secret Record Fusion
He snorted coldly, stood up and left the room to find the guy.

Walking through the high-rise corridors, I found that the place had been cleaned up and there were not many people.

There was a knock on the door, but no one answered. He knocked again, and Ulrich's face darkened slightly, and then changed drastically.

Suddenly turning around, he saw Li Ming walking slowly towards him from the other side. "Sir Ulrich, I called you over mainly to express my apologies. I really didn't expect the incident with the Iron Castle..."

Ulrich ignored him, glanced at him coldly, quickly returned to his room, opened the box containing the metal materials, and his expression relaxed.

I checked the formation again and found nothing unusual.

"Misunderstanding?" Ulrich hesitated and went back to find Qinglong. This time, the other party was in the room but refused to open the door.

"I've already apologized, do you want to hear it a second time?"

Ulrich left with a sullen look on his face.

"The last one is Theo. I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome."

A few hours later, Li Ming thought about it and sent a message to the other party, saying that he had something important to discuss.

As a result, Theo didn't come back at all, but [Positioning] had already locked on the opponent's position and was coming here at a very fast speed.

However, his metal materials were not in the abandoned starship city, but were stored in old warships. His people had arrived and were counting them.

"So fast?" Li Ming was slightly surprised, but without thinking too much, he disappeared from the spot and went straight to the old battleship. He even used [Space Flash] several times, and his figure was almost invisible to the naked eye.

"No one?" Theo appeared in the empty room, frowned slightly, and then disappeared.

Li Ming had just brought the metal materials over when Theo came back.

On the deck of his old battleship, the two men collided head-on.

"Why are you here?" Theo narrowed his eyes.

"I saw that you hadn't replied to my message, so I came over to check on you." Li Ming said frankly.

"It will only take a few minutes. Besides, I'm not on this battleship." Theo looked gloomy.

"I thought you were here." Li Ming was very calm.

"Really? That's great. What do you want from me?" Theo took Li Ming inside and came to the captain's room. He opened the metal material box in front of Li Ming, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual inside.

Theo seemed a little surprised and closed the box. Li Mingze said, "I mainly came to ask if you would sell your theory of evolution and the secret record of liberation."

Theo was even more surprised, as he had not anticipated Li Ming's intention at all.

Li Ming was not talking nonsense. There was still a gap in his development system regarding the control position that needed to be filled.

The [Secret Record Fusion] of the [Gene Warrior] can be fused again as the life level increases.

He originally wanted to buy from Sandro, who was easier to fool, but after asking him indirectly, he found out that Sandro's gene sequence was not grade A, but only grade B.

I can only come to Theo.

He shook his head and said, "Your gene sequence should have been fixed. My theory of evolution and the secret records of liberation should have no effect on you."

"I bought it for other purposes." Li Ming shook his head, "Do you want to sell it?"

Theo pondered. This was beyond his expectation. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You can sell it. One hundred million star coins each."

"So cheap?" Li Ming was quite surprised.

"I need you to do something for me," Theo added.

"What's the matter?" Li Ming asked immediately.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Theo shook his head.

"Aren't you afraid that I will default on my debt?" Li Ming narrowed his eyes.

Theo said calmly: "Don't be afraid."

Li Ming suddenly smiled and said, "If you are not afraid, then there is no problem. Of course, I won't agree to everything."

"Pay the money and receive the goods on the spot." Theo was decisive. His native civilization had long been destroyed and no one was pursuing these things.

When he was in the most difficult time, he had thought about selling it to Black Hole Network.

Unfortunately, the black hole network requires hundreds of years of payment, because it is difficult to verify the order of gene seed fusion, evolution, and liberation records.

You can only cultivate a special evolutionary body, and gradually verify that there are no problems with level C, level B, and level A before you can make money.

It was then that Theo realized that this thing was indeed valuable, but the transaction process was too cumbersome.

"Okay." Li Ming nodded decisively. He didn't have to wait so long to verify. He could verify the authenticity on the spot.

Two sets of things were exported, and Li Ming got them.
[Shadow Blade Hunter Evolution Theory - Level A: The evolution theory that records the Shadow Blade Hunter's gene sequence.

Control conditions: 5 million metal energy]

Control effect: Secret blessing 500%
Control ability - Shadow Blade Evolution: Mobilize the power of shadow elements in the body and develop gene seeds in depth. 】

[Shadow Blade Hunter Release Secret Record--Consumable Type: Records the Shadow Blade Hunter's release secret.
Control conditions: 4 million metal energy
Control Ability - Shadow Blade Hunter: Consume the control object to permanently gain advanced liberation ability. 】

Li Ming was quite surprised that he could be identified and not deceived, and then transferred the money.

After the money arrived, Theo finally showed his true colors and asked with a smile, "Do you still want the gene seed sequence?"

"How much?" Li Ming asked tentatively.

"Two billion," Theo the Lion opened his mouth.

Li Ming's mouth twitched. These three complement each other. If any one of them is missing, the other two will be useless.

Unfortunately, he really didn't need it, so he shook his head and said, "No need."

Theo was surprised and couldn't understand why the other party wanted to buy these two things.

He originally wanted to give the other party a surprise, because when his mother civilization was destroyed, the two essential creatures in the genetic sequence were also extinct.

Those are interstellar creatures that can only be born in specific star regions.

His genetic sequence is equivalent to being useless, so he is so generous and happy.

"Sir Theo, when we ambushed Blerim before, I saw that your assassination skills were extremely superb, so I would like to ask for your advice." Li Ming jumped to another level.

"Please teach me?" Theo was even more surprised. He felt like the other party was just making small talk.

"Practice more." He uttered two words.

Li Ming persisted, "Don't you have any special skills, or weapons that you have used for many years? Let me see them."

"Weapons?" Theo looked him up and down, becoming more and more alert. "No, nothing."

"Is that so?" Li Ming seemed to be thinking, "Then I might have to follow you and observe for a while, is that ok?"

Theo's face turned dark. He's starting to pester me, right?

If it had been Sandro or even Ulrich, he would have just laughed it off because these two people couldn't see him.

But Qinglong didn't know why, but he could always find his trace.

He threw out a dagger and nailed it to the wall, his face expressionless, "This is the weapon I used a long time ago. I'll give it to you."

Li Ming raised his hand, and the electromagnetic wire spread out like substance, pulling out the dagger nailed to the wall. He paused, "Broken?" "Forget it." Theo frowned, and Li Ming took it, his eyes brightened, "Yes, I want it."

[Shadow Blade Dagger--Consumable type: A weapon once used by Gray Eyes.

Control conditions: One million metal energy
Control ability - Favored by assassin masters: can promote assassin professions. 】

This dagger is not an ordinary control object, but a career advancement device.

This old guy really has some good stuff on him.

Li Ming was in a good mood, and after making a lot of money, he said goodbye to Theo and left.

Theo's eyes flickered as he pondered Li Ming's logic.

The only thing that made him feel something was wrong was that the other party seemed to want to transfer him away from here to do something, but the metal materials in the room were intact.

What happened next was completely illogical, and he had no idea what the other party was trying to do.

Buy the gene sequence, the result is only the theory of evolution and the secret record of liberation.

He also inexplicably asked for the weapons he had used and some assassination techniques.

Theo frowned. He was not afraid that the other party had no purpose, but he was afraid that he could not even imagine the other party's purpose.

It took some time to leave Theo and return to my room.

The last bit of metal material was completely absorbed, and a total of 13 million metal energies were obtained, with a balance of 17 million.

Ulrich came over with a dark face to inform us that we could leave.

Then he boarded the Cruiser. Blerim's warship had been completely taken over by Theo.

In the room, a blood-stained dagger appeared in Li Ming's hand. It was not obtained from Theo, but he just found it randomly in the lair of Blerim.

[Bloodstained Dagger - C Rank]

The function of this thing is to enhance the assassin profession.

You need to pull it to level B to get the profession. Taking into account the control required, it will consume nearly one million metal energies and a mother ore.

The [Super Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle] in his hand is also blessed by the assassin, and it is already C-level, and he can also directly upgrade it to B-level.

However, it only saves tens of thousands of metal energies. Naturally, he was reluctant to waste it before, but now it is completely different.

He still had a lot of feelings for that sniper rifle, so he immediately spent millions of metal energies to directly upgrade it to level B, triggering a prompt.

[Whether to consume the controlled object to permanently solidify the assassin profession. 】

He chose to consume, and a new profession appeared on the control page. A large number of assassin skills flooded into his mind, but it was difficult to have any effect on him.

After a pause, he looked carefully.

[Assassin: Proficient in assassination techniques, and possesses the abilities of [Hidden Breath] and [Backstab]]

[Hidden Breath: Gain 100% Concealment Blessing]

[Backstab: If the target is within 1 meter, and is not detected, the first attack will hit the target.]

It's quite standard. This [Backstab] is quite interesting. He had thought about it before.

Then, he took out the [Shadow Blade Broken Dagger] that Theo gave him, controlled it, and consumed it.

The [Assassin] profession trembled and was gradually enveloped by black mist. After fading away, it turned into four words.

He looked carefully--
[Shadow Assassin: Proficient in assassination techniques, and possesses the abilities of [Hidden Shadow] and [Shadow Sting].]

[Shadow: Gain 150% stealth buff, doubled in the shadows.]

[Shadow Sting: You can lie dormant in the target's shadow, and the first attack launched from the shadow will hit the target.]

Hiding in the shadows?
Tsk... sounds good. It seems that it can be used not only as a means of assassination, Li Ming pondered.

He called the profession he just acquired a basic profession, and after being promoted by consuming control objects, he called it a second-level profession.

After being promoted again, there are three levels of professions, each with different strengths, mainly for the purpose of clarifying one's own cognition.

Of course, there are also people like [Thunder Guardian] who are born to be high-level professions.

Then, Li Ming took out the gene source he had just obtained.

Used to upgrade [Ice Knight Evolution]. As the logo changes from a USB flash drive to a crystal, it indicates that the upgrade is complete.

Then, he took out the Theory of Evolution and the Secret Record of Liberation that he had just obtained, which cost five million and four million respectively.

Among them, [Shadow Blade Liberation Record] is complete, but he only needs the B-level part and then split it.

After the split, the energy required to control it was only 1.8 million, which turned it into an intermediate liberation form. However, [Secret Record Fusion] did not require the consumption of metal energy, so it did not matter.

First consume five million metal energies to complete the control of [Shadow Blade Evolution] and fill the evolution system completely.

Four A-level theories of evolution provide sixteen times the blessing respectively, and three B-level theories of evolution provide six times the evolution speed blessing respectively.

The total evolution speed was increased by eighty-two times, almost doubling compared to when he just became a B-level life form.

His current development progress is only 2%, but the development speed should increase a lot in the future.

At the same time, he took out the intermediate liberation records of [Flame Emperor] and [Judgement Holy Blade].

Due to the influence of the [Gene Warrior]'s ability, his liberation record does not belong to either of them, but is a fusion of the two.

Therefore, if you want to improve, you also need the advanced forms of both.

Two million four hundred thousand metal energies were consumed, and the two liberation secret records instantly merged into the depths of his genes.

In an instant, with a "puff" sound, the clothes on his body exploded and he was involuntarily released into the Emperor Blade form. The cloak behind him fluttered, a torrent of elements surged out, and the intense pain tore at his nerves.

The Emperor Blade's form was undergoing noticeable changes. Its height, which had originally risen to nearly three meters, had further condensed to only about two meters.

The golden armor on the surface of the body is gradually covered by more complex patterns, which makes it look more real rather than illusory. It is real metal armor.

The intermediate form of the gene sequence has a more obvious improvement. In the perfect liberation form, it can provide an overall increase of about ten times.

The pain caused by changes at the genetic level is particularly clear. It seems that there is no source, but it seems to burst out from all over the body.

It lasted for more than ten minutes before gradually fading away.

However, he still has one more chance to [Secret Record Fusion]. This time he doesn't need to consume metal energy, but he will definitely have to endure the pain.

Holding the [Shadow Blade Release Secret Record] in his hand and activating the [Secret Record Fusion], Li Ming immediately groaned, and the pain that had just faded away came back in a more intense form.

The Emperor Blade form was gradually enveloped by a shadow, with red arcs of electricity swirling around it. Black mist surged out in the golden light, and the two-color crown on its head also forcibly squeezed out black lines.

The majestic and domineering appearance gradually took on a hint of sinisterness, and black lines gradually appeared in the hidden parts of the golden armor.

The originally solid height was expanded again to about two and a half meters, but it no longer felt illusory.

Ten minutes later, Li Ming took a breath, stood up and walked to the mirror. He looked at himself in the mirror with strange eyes.

From the front, the liberated form seems to be unchanged from before, but if you look at it from below or from the side, you can see the black lines hidden deep in the armor.
