This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 263 The long-awaited upgrade of the five dimensional crystals [Wind Hunting Shadow]

After waiting for another seven or eight days, the rebuilt lounge was finally completed and everyone moved in immediately.

Without room for two people, the lounge became a lot more cramped overall.

"It's getting smaller and smaller." Sandro was very dissatisfied. No one paid any attention to him.

Li Mingze went to the core laboratory after a long absence. Since he killed Brot, he had not been to the laboratory again, but had been developing genetic seeds.

The soldier in charge of the examination used the scanner to show his entire body with a look of awe, not even daring to look him in the eye.

Everyone didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Li Ming entered the laboratory.

Buzz--
The metal door opened, and the moment Li Ming stepped in, the low noise suddenly quieted down.

All eyes quickly fell on him, and then withdrew even faster. The experimenters around him turned pale and dared not speak.

"Luo Er, long time no see. There are oil reagents on your clothes..." Li Ming greeted.

"Thank you, thank you for reminding me..." Luo Er shuddered.

Apart from Benny, Li Ming has a relatively close relationship with these experimenters. This is because he is actually quite young and can chat with most of them.

Sometimes he is laughing and joking, very casual and without any airs.

But that day, as they looked at the terrifying crater, they remembered that this man was a great mechanic with amazing strength.

Moreover, he is far more powerful than several other great mechanics.

"Your Excellency Qinglong." Benny greeted him, but his attitude did not change.
Deyes was working on the central workbench. The experimenters looked at him curiously, but did not dare to look at him too much.

Deyes didn't seem to notice Li Ming's arrival and just kept working with his head down.

Li Ming ignored Deyes and looked at the visualized progress, which had been pushed to 68%.

"So fast?" he asked in surprise.

"Everyone is working together. We are only one key node away. We have some clues now and it will be solved soon. I estimate it should be solved within a month." Benny looked quite excited.

Li Ming looked at him in surprise. If someone didn't know, he would probably think that Benny was a member of the Torch Organization and was so excited.

Deyes has completely become a tool. He has little presence in the laboratory, can barely utter three sentences a day, and works non-stop.

Basically, we only take a break once every three days.

Li Ming deliberately ignored him and was too lazy to humiliate him. He touched the fish for a while and then left as usual.

After being silent for many days, he was finally able to go to the main base again.

It's the same as usual. After a while of trouble, I first hid at Pierre's place to find out what happened recently in the main base.

"Alas..." Pierre was scratching his head, sending off his subordinates who came to report for no reason, and sighed.
"Mr. Fernande is too unreasonable. If I could see through Qinglong's tricks, I wouldn't have to feel so aggrieved all day long."

What was playing on the screen were some blurry images taken by the main base's camera that day, which after being processed appeared relatively clear.

"Nano energy cannon, the charging time is no more than five seconds, and the highest destructive energy level is over 100A. This is too amazing."

"Electromagnetic, frost, high temperature, compressed energy, all mixed together, where does he get the energy engine to support such a large amount of energy storage..."

Their R&D department has watched this video hundreds of times day and night, but still can't find any clues.

Not to mention, coming up with any countermeasures and blockade measures.

Even when they were clearing out the crater that was blasted out, several sets of armor of the Fireworks Apostles were destroyed.

Thinking of the leader's instructions before he left, Pierre felt under tremendous pressure. He had lost a lot of hair in the past few days.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
There was a knock on the door and someone else came in to report on his work.

"Boss, I've got an idea. This might be a kind of energy pre-storage technology. He first stores a huge amount of energy in something in advance..."

The staff member who came to report was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

After hearing this, Pierre roared, "How dare you think that? Why don't you say that he is connected to a secondary energy dimension and can draw energy from it at any time?"

"And charging energy in advance? Do you mean that he has solved the problem of long charging time for super-large main guns that many civilizations have difficulty solving?"

"Super-compressed destructive energy does not self-annihilate, but instead coexists peacefully?"

After scolding the staff member out, Li Ming stayed in Pierre's shadow for most of the day.

I roughly figured it out. Nothing else happened in the Torch Organization. They were just studying him and his cannon.

Boom!
The knock on the door sounded again. Pierre felt a throbbing pain in his head. He looked up and cursed: "Didn't I just tell you not to come..."

Halfway through his words, his face froze slightly, and he said awkwardly, "Sir Ted?"

The person who came was Ted, who had entered the dimensional crystal storage warehouse under the witness of Li Ming.

This person is the head of security at the Torch Organization's main base. According to the information Li Ming has, as a Class B life form, his development progress exceeds 90%, making him the person in the entire Torch Organization who is currently closest to a Class A life form.

There are even internal rumors that the leader is already planning to get A-grade gene seeds for him.

"Minister Peel seems to be in a bad mood." Ted said in a dull voice.

"It's alright." Pierre shook his head. "Sir Ted must have come here for your combat armor. It's almost been repaired and we're finishing it off."

"Not ready yet?" Ted frowned.

"The damage is indeed too serious..." Pierre said helplessly.

Ted shook his head: "There is no other way. Sir Fernande has given the order and we need to clean it up as soon as possible."

He sat in a chair, glanced at Peel's screen, and immediately asked, "What do you think? Is there any way to restrain this great mechanic?"

"Restrictions?" Pierre smiled bitterly. "He is a master mechanic. And not just any master mechanic."

"Yeah..." Ted's face showed fear. "It's hard to imagine that he is just a B-level life form, but he can create such a terrifying attack."

It was already so troublesome to clean up the crater created by the aftermath of the explosion, not to mention the horror that would be faced when facing that attack head-on.

"However, this is within the coverage area of ​​the Eternal Realm. With its protection, we won't encounter any danger." Pierre added.

"Well, I was just about to go get the dimensional crystals to further reinforce the Realm of Continuation." Ted nodded, "I wanted to pick up my armor on the way."

Pierre was slightly surprised. "Reinforce it again? Hasn't it been reinforced once?"

"It's an order from Sir Fernande." Ted stood up helplessly, "Since it's not fixed yet, come back and get it."

He said goodbye and left the office, but before he left the door of the R&D department, Pierre caught up with him and stopped Ted.

"What's wrong?" Ted was confused. He glanced at the metal box in Pierre's hand and asked in astonishment, "Resuscitator No. 2, my armor?"

"Isn't it repaired yet?"

Pierre handed over the folded armor and said, "My men reported earlier that it had not been repaired yet. I just went to take a look and found that it is almost done."

"I'll deliver it right away, saving you the trouble of making another trip."

Ted was surprised. He took the armored box, opened it and took a look. It was as clean as new. He couldn't help but admire: "The maintenance department's craftsmanship has improved again."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Pierre watched Ted leave.

Ted was wearing a simple armor, so it was not easy to put it on, so he just held it in his hand. Turning left and right, he came to the Torch Organization base again, in front of the warehouse wrapped in purple energy film.

The soldier in charge of guarding carried out tests and checks as usual. The scanner swept over Ted's body to determine various characteristics.

"This is my armor." Facing the guard's puzzled look, Ted explained, "I just went to the maintenance department and picked it up."

He opened it and took a look. There was nothing wrong. The guarding soldier didn't say much and turned sideways.

Ted was already familiar with the route, and he stepped into the barrier without any obstruction.

Finally, it came in...

At this moment, Li Ming was possessed by Ted's armor.

As Ted arrived, the lights here lit up one by one. The room was not very big, with two rows of silver-white metal display shelves neatly arranged.

Placed on it are crystal clear crystals of various colors, which are exactly the dimensional crystals that Li Ming has been thinking about.

The total number of beads in the two columns on the left and right is sixty-two, which is not a lot.

What surprised Li Ming even more was that hanging on the metal wall was a thick glass cabin filled with yellow liquid.

There seemed to be something in it that needed to be stored in a special way, but it was unclear what it was.

The surveillance cameras in the four corners are running brightly, monitoring this place all the time.

"This is not going to be easy." Li Ming pondered to himself. Now that he had come in, he certainly couldn't return empty-handed.

"Fortunately, we were prepared."

Open the control page and switch to a new control object--
[Virtual Reality Simulator - Class B: It is best to distinguish between virtual and reality.

……

Control effect: Hidden blessing--300%
Control ability - virtual scene: up to a thousand-meter scene around and project it. 】

After being restricted by surveillance cameras a few times before and having to spend more energy trying to bypass them, he came up with the idea of ​​creating a confusing surveillance control object.

It took a long time to design this thing, and a lot of design drawings were wasted, but none of them met his requirements.

A curtain of light opened silently, like an illusion, which could confuse even B-level life forms depending on the distance.

After all, it is not yet time to break off relations with the Torch Organization, and he has a clear understanding of his own strength.

The five-gun salvo did kill Brot.

However, that was a one-time burst, not regular combat power.

He still had a vivid memory of the Torch Organization's main base that stood firm during the explosion.

Not to mention that there is Fernand, an A-level life form who can borrow the power of dimensions. If he is exposed, he can only drag Theo into the fight, which is not worth the loss.

As he was thinking in his mind, an invisible curtain of light opened up, silently covering the entire room.

Ted seemed to notice something, turned around, looked around, and frowned.

Not far away, Li Ming was standing in the open space, with hidden blessings on his body, and he withdrew his gaze from Ted.

In his hand, a crystal the size of a baby's fist quickly took shape.

Then he walked quietly to the display shelf, took one, and placed the model on it.

He followed the same method and replaced four more pieces.

Ted had already taken a dimensional crystal from the shelf and put it into a special storage box.
In the other hand he held the armored box.

When he was near the gate, he paused again, looked left and right, then turned and left.

A few hours later, Li Ming had returned to his room, looking at the five dimensional crystals of different shapes and colors in his hand.

Wisps of energy tassels dissipated and spread in the void. Light purple energy gathered around and intertwined with these energy tassels, colliding vaguely and forming subtle energy impacts.

Crackling, like electric arcs.

"What the hell?"

Li Ming's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly stuffed these dimensional crystals into the folded space. The purple energy gathered from all around gradually dissipated without a target.

Does this dimensional energy have territory markings?
The eternal world sensed the emergence of abnormal dimensional power and generated autonomous resistance.

Li Ming was secretly surprised, and then carefully took out a piece and absorbed it quickly, grasping the time of the dimensional force collision. It took more than half an hour to completely absorb a piece.
This time, he only took five dimensional crystals. There were still a lot left in the warehouse. What made him even more curious were the things stored in the sealed cabin.

But time is limited, and the noise caused by opening the sealed cabin is likely to be small, so he has no chance and can only give up for the time being.

"I only have more than 20 million metal energies on me, and these five pieces are enough for now." Li Ming pondered and couldn't help but feel the urge to rob the warehouse and run away.

Shaking his head, he decided to upgrade first. Now that he had both metal energy and alienated energy, he did not hesitate. He already had a goal in mind.
【Super Magnetic Electric Explosion Propulsion Shoes】

Strength and speed are inseparable. The main combat control object of strength is already A-level, and the next one is naturally speed.

Before, when Theo was dodging the energy aftermath of the main gun's bombardment, the speed was so fast that he could hardly see it now, which really left a deep impression on him.

As he was thinking, metal energy continued to surge out, and eight million metal energies were required for the upgrade.

Naturally, I chose the "internal control" upgrade route, and the originally angular blue iron block that extended to the calf was further refined.

The heavy metal armor disappeared, replaced by thin metal armor that fits closely to the skin and even extends further to the kneecap.

At the ankles, there are two more dark blue energy generators, rotating like turbines.

[Vortex Video--Level A: Be careful about your body being torn apart.

...

Control effect: Gain 800% speed boost
Control Ability - Super Compression Burst: Gain 1600% speed and gain the "Wind Hunting Shadow" ability. 】

[Hunting Shadow in the Wind: Leaves a hunting shadow mark, which can be transformed with the main body, and the range cannot exceed one kilometer. ]

Hunting Shadow Mark? Li Ming was surprised, and then he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

Needless to say, this ability is very powerful.

His [Space Flash] can only be seen with the naked eye, and its range is only ten meters. If there is no cover, it is naturally a magical skill.

But when fighting, all kinds of energies flash, which has considerable limitations. Moreover, it also takes up a control bar. Now, each of the controlled objects has a power of ten or twenty times, and wasting one will have a significant impact.

Of course, the role of [Space Flash] is still very important, but [Hunting Shadows in the Wind] is more suitable for combat.

There are about 17 million metal energies left, and one quarter of alienated energy left.

After pondering for a while, Li Ming suddenly took out a metal device - [Gravity Adjustment Device]

This is the gravity equipment provided by the Torch Organization. After thinking about it, he shook his head again.

Open the graphic design software on the smart terminal, find a similar gravity control device, and then make fine adjustments continuously.

　It's outrageous. I've only been married for half a year and my family is already urging me to have a child.

　　I definitely can’t have it now, and I’m not sure about the future either. I really can’t afford it.
