This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 314: Rising Fame Qinglong and Li Ming

StarNet is a comprehensive service software, and there are many interstellar self-media similar to Baltan.

Thanks to the exaggerated popularity of StarNet, the number of fans of some accounts can easily reach tens or even hundreds of billions.

But he is just an ordinary account with only seven or eight million followers, and this is thanks to the fact that he is an interstellar human.

In the Corona Borealis star ring, more than 56% of the races are humans, humanoids and sub-human races, so the audience is quite wide.

The five videos released by Baltan progress step by step from a simple introduction to the situation, the causes, the turning points, and then to the climax.

Not only that, Balkan also cut out a lot of redundant shots, leaving only the most core and essential parts.

At the beginning, the number of video views increased gradually in a very stable manner, but soon it entered a situation of soaring exponentially, and all the data were exploding.

"Fuck, such a large fleet array, so many fleets..."

This is the first video. Right from the start, the screen is filled with the magnificent array of the combined fleet. It is extremely shocking, and barrages of comments gradually appear.

"H-Tianluan bomber, stealth reconnaissance ship, damn, Star Ring Guard... This seems to be a joint fleet..." Some military enthusiasts listed the fleet models like the back of their hands, causing amazement.

"Combined Fleet? Whose fleet?"

Most people don't pay attention to the formation of the joint fleet, only military enthusiasts know about it. The video was playing and someone explained it in the barrage.

"This is a special joint fleet formed by multiple civilizations in the Silver Cluster, led by the Itlan civilization."

The video edited by Baltan only has the key points. After a few words of commentary, the scene changes to an overwhelming stream of stars and dark tides.

At first it was pitch black and some people were confused about what was being filmed. But when they saw the main guns of the Combined Fleet firing in unison, igniting the bright blue flames like the sky, the barrage disappeared and everyone was stunned by the overwhelming sense of oppression.

The observation accuracy and breadth of the five million dollar over-the-horizon optical eyepiece are absolutely worth the money.

"You're making such a big deal right off the bat?"

The massive scale of the star stream dark tide made everyone who saw it feel a surge of adrenaline, and the response and resistance of the combined fleet was even more exciting.

The collision between technological civilization and cosmic disasters stimulates the vision of every living being.

After the star stream and dark tide swept through, the final ending was a silent combined fleet, with sporadic fireworks exploding on the edges.

But there was still cheering in the barrage, because the combined fleet withstood this horrible natural disaster, which was a victory for civilization.

But when it comes to the second video, it starts with a series of sparks from exploding battleships, which makes people hold their breath.

When the Judge fleet that was ambushing on all sides rushed out, many people cursed them for being shameless and taking advantage of the situation.

But some people also believe that all is fair in war, and there is no such thing as shamelessness in interstellar warfare, only victory and defeat.

Some people have already given up hope: "How can we fight this? The combined fleet has obviously been shut down by the magnetic storm of the Star Stream Dark Tide. Even if we skip the self-check, it will take three to five minutes for the system to restart. Time is money. What a pity..."

But soon the situation reversed again, Asmara rushed out, and the view quickly zoomed in. The magnificent folding fortress, the scene when it unfolded was dazzling.

"That's...Princess Asmara!"

From a specific magnified perspective, Asmara, standing under the folding fortress, is clearly visible. Her dark purple close-fitting combat armor is not bulky and outlines her graceful figure. Her beautiful face is full of determination, her eyes are cold and murderous, and the barrage of comments instantly increases.

There is also a special text note by Baltan next to it - a member of the royal family of the Itlan civilization: Princess Asmara, to prevent some non-human races from not knowing who she is.

"My wife is awesome!"

"Kill me!"

As a princess of the Silver Cluster, an advanced civilization, Asmara has a high reputation.

Even though he has purple skin, he is considered upper class in the interstellar society's humanoid aesthetics. Plus with his status, he has many supporters, and comments are pouring in.

The Folding Fortress unfolded, the Judge fled in panic, and the barrage was filled with cheers.

Most of the viewers were not Itlans, but the Judge looked like he was taking advantage of someone's misfortune and directly fell into the category of "bad guys". Coupled with Asmara's beauty, most of them joined the Combined Fleet camp.

"If there is a Folding Fortress, then there is indeed no problem. Its Silence Field can suppress energy inertia. The Judge is not well prepared. What a pity..."

"MD, you just said that the Combined Fleet was no longer viable, right? Are you changing your mind now?"

As the scene transitions to black, the words "thirty-two hours later" flash by.

What came towards them was a black meteor that passed through the battlefield. Its trajectory was difficult to capture. After a blink of an eye, all that could be seen was the ring-shaped crown guard exploding.

There was silence. I didn't expect the turn to come so suddenly.

"Who is this? So fierce, charging directly into the battlefield? No one stopped him? Where is the A-level lifeform?"

The video was too short, and it was difficult to estimate how fast Reina was, and some people kept questioning it.

At this moment, a silver light flashed, and Albert rushed over. The screen was bright and nothing could be seen clearly.

The voice-over sounded, "The Black Meteor is an S-class life form - Splitting the Sky, Reina."

"Silver Radiance is an S-class life form - Silver Holy Light, Albert."

The barrage was also dead silent.

"S-level life form? There is such a level of life?"

Someone asked a question in the barrage, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"The one in front is from some remote civilization. S-level life forms are the evolutionary level above A-level life forms."

"There are still people who don't know about S-level life forms?"

"It's normal. The mainstream media is covering up the existence of powerful individuals. Every day, I think about myself and the life form that can shatter a planet with one punch. I exist in the same universe. What's the meaning of living?"

"An S-class life form can shatter a planet with one punch????"

The several question marks at the end show how bizarre and unbelievable it is.

"One punch won't work, maybe you need a few more, but you can also understand it this way."

"I found that some life forms really have problems with their brains. S-level life forms also have strong and weak ones, so how can we measure them uniformly?"

"This is an analogy. Just explain it briefly. If you don't understand, don't talk..."

"Alas, Asmara is still no good. He has not been able to set up a defensive formation for such a long time. He was killed by the S-level lifeforms. He can't fight anymore. What a pity..."

"Brother Dong is here again"

The barrage of comments started to quarrel, and the screen had entered the platform communication, with the identities of several people present marked on the screen.

Princess Asmara and Prince Baijan are characters that can only be seen in some interstellar media.

Then, comes the highlight, with a few big subtitles - the death of Gabriel.

Baltan kindly annotated: [Gabriel: Xingyuan Empire, the third son of the Bloodthirsty Grand Duke, suspected to have been killed by Reina.]

Xingyuan Empire? The Bloodthirsty Duke?

Seeing every living being here, there is a brief moment of daze, followed by excitement.

Big thing, absolutely big thing!

When it comes to excitement that doesn't affect them, most people would like to make it bigger and bigger.

"Fuck, such a big shot is dead?" "Did this Reina kill him? He's so damn awesome!"

The barrage of comments quickly emerged, and the first group of witnesses were very excited. Then they saw Albert raise his hand to lead a group of people. A soldier fell out, and a man suddenly emerged from his shadow.

"Who is this? Why did he appear from the shadows? Li Ming?"

Li Ming stood there, with a few words beside him: [Li Ming, student of Qinglong, a star-casting mechanic]

"Who is Qinglong? A Casting-level mechanic? I saw this name in the title..."

The doubt did not last long. The next person who emerged from the shadows had a note next to him: [Forging-level mechanic—Qinglong!]

"What is a Casting-level Mechanic...?"

Some people also have doubts.

"Literally, this mechanic has the ability to forge a planet."

"Forging a planet? Holy shit, is this true?"

"It seems that he sneaked in. The Forging-level mechanic is indeed powerful, but his direct combat power is not as good as that of an S-level life form. What a pity..."

"What a shame, brother, stop talking."

"He's wearing a mecha, damn, this is so cool."

“It looks so domineering.”

The picture has entered a brilliant wave of energy, and there is almost no barrage afterwards because it is too exciting.

In a short period of time, Reina's proactive attack, the nearly kilometer-long thick energy cannon, made people's breath hold.

"Isn't it said that S-class life forms can shatter planets? How come they can't even penetrate mechas?"

"It's hard to imagine whether the life form that asked this question actually has a brain."

"He can only passively take the beating. Although he cannot be defeated for the time being, there are many ways for two S-level life forms to deal with him. Unfortunately..."

"Too bad where's the password? Can you please look at the video title before you speak?!"

Then, a turning point occurred, and the sudden appearance of dark night led to a confrontation between the two sides.

[Dark Night: S-class life form, the murderer of the assassination of Grand Duke Gu Ya.]

"Wow, this is another top boss."

"They teamed up. What the hell is Qinglong doing? He seems to be repairing a gun? Repairing a gun on the spot?"

"Damn, is this something a human can do? Do you know what level the gun in An Ye's hand is? We have to call my teacher to come and see..."

"Fuck, my teacher fainted!"

Most people don’t know what this means, but the scene of the dark night sinking into darkness and carrying out deterrence has triggered another climax.

But Baltan had no idea what happened in the core ruins afterwards.

The final ending scene was a boundless and vast fleet, which made way for a passage and watched silently as Qinglong and his group left.

So far, shocking.

"Stirring up the sea of ​​stars and attracting the attention of all, this is what a real man should do!"

Baltan's editing is quite superb. If it were one second longer, it would be found that the group of people entered a shabby little spaceship, which is quite destructive to the senses.

But it is enough. The amount of information contained in these five videos is simply explosive. This also means that they are destined to sweep through every civilization in the Corona Borealis ring without a star network ban at an unparalleled speed.

Baltan's heart was pounding as he watched the number of new fans soar in the backstage.

As he expected, just fifteen minutes later, the first video had been played over 100 million times, and the trend did not slow down at all. Instead, it soared at an even more terrifying speed.

It has attracted the attention of many mainstream media, and they have applied for reprinting in the background.

Some people have already started to re-transfer the information and dig deep into all the details of this incident, including every character, especially Qinglong, about whom there is almost no information.

An hour later, the title "Who is Qinglong?" was on the regional hot search list.

Six hours later, various special columns came out, and some commentators have pointed out that this incident may cause large-scale regional shocks.

The spread of news continued without any let-up, but instead became more and more intense.

……

Blue Star Civilization - Capital Star, University of Science and Technology, Energy Application Department Teaching Building.

“Ding Dong--”

In the classroom, the teacher, who was about to speak, looked at the time and said, "Okay, it's time to end the get out of class. You guys are almost sleepy. The homework from the day before yesterday was "The principle of the difference in energy conduction efficiency between silicon crystals and silver crystals."

"what--"

A wailing sound came from below, but the teacher didn't even look at it. He packed up his things, turned around and left.

Ji Ya stretched her body, her full curve attracted people's attention, and then she lay on the table and cried:

"Yotou, I really don't understand. How did I fall into your trap in the first place and choose the most difficult Energy Application Department with you?"

Yang Yu was packing up her things. She stood up and pulled her knee-length skirt together. Her delicate white legs stood straight and she said helplessly:
"This is for your own good. The Department of Energy Application is a new flagship subject, but if you graduate successfully, you will have a wide range of employment prospects, and you don't even have to be limited to Blue Star."

"Nonsense." Ji Ya stood up, shook her chest, and snorted, "For my own good? Don't think I don't know that you were just chasing after Li Ming, and he ran away..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly covered her mouth, looked at Yang Yu, whose face was gloomy, and said quickly: "Oh, I was confused. I know you are doing this for my own good..."

"It's okay." Yang Yu shook his head. Ji Ya asked cautiously, "Has he contacted you recently?"

"As long as I know he's fine," Yang Yu smiled gently. Ji Ya felt even more distressed and muttered, "Li Ming is so heartless. He just ran away and left you here."

"Oh, he has his considerations." Yang Yu shook his head. Ji Ya sighed and changed the subject: "The mid-term exam for the second year is approaching. Let's..."

"Li Ming!?"

Ji Ya was startled by the roar. She turned her head and noticed that the other students who were supposed to leave had all stopped where they were, talking and making noises.

"Who is this? He doesn't seem to be Li Ming's friend." Ji Ya was puzzled, and then she saw the man pointing at the screen and said excitedly:

"Li Ming is the super hunk who won first place in the opening exam of our class, defeated many challengers from Sera Royal Academy, and later refused the recruitment of Itlan Civilization. I don't know where he ran off to."

"It's really him. He actually became a student of a Casting-level mechanic. No wonder he didn't care about the recruitment of the Itlan civilization."

Ji Ya and Yang Yu looked at each other, both feeling confused.

"Why is there such a huge gap between people? Others have already participated in such interstellar events, while we are still here studying energy application with great difficulty." He sighed for a while, but also looked very excited and proud.

Ji Ya looked at Yang Yu's eager eyes, found the nearest classmate and asked a few questions. After getting the answer, she ran back, picked up the smart terminal and searched quickly.

Soon, I found a few simplified pictures, which were copied from a self-media on Blue Star. The title was very eye-catching.
