This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 320: Privileged Class of the Machinists Association
"The Purple Blood Green Mane gene seed is made from the genes of the Purple Blood Green Mane Elephant Dragon. It contains the fire element variant Purple Flame, the wind element variant Howling Wind, the lightning element variant Red Thunder, as well as unique adaptive elemental abilities." Emma introduced at the right time.

"Adaptive?" Li Ming was puzzled.

"The Purple Blood Green Mane Elephant Dragon has a strong ability to adapt to the environment. It has a substance that can produce suitable elemental power as the environment changes." Emma explained in detail:
"What this means is that it will seek out elemental powers within you that are not contained in its gene seed, and strengthen them."

"If not, new elemental power will slowly evolve."

"Higher life forms are truly amazing..." Li Ming sighed.

Emma continued, "Moreover, its gene stability is over 95%, and its fusion distortion rate is less than 10%. All the data belong to the top-level A-grade gene seed."

Li Ming nodded secretly. As the level of life continued to improve, the genetic seeds carried by the genetically evolved bodies increased.

As the genetic strength becomes higher and higher, the danger caused will be greater at the critical moment of fusing genetic seeds and thus making a life transition.

The continuous improvement of advanced gene seeds can allow life forms at the same level to burst out at higher energy levels, but because of the excessive intensity, the threat it brings is far from ordinary.

In the process of fusing gene seeds, there are countless deformations and deaths caused by gene collapse on the road of interstellar evolution.

Li Ming is no longer a novice on the road to evolution, and he knows all these things very well. This is also the advantage of the advanced laboratory. Within its capabilities, it tries to reduce all dangers as much as possible.

"How about the increase in physical strength?" Li Ming asked casually.

"You don't have to worry about this. The Purple-Blooded Green-Maned Elephant Dragon is a dominant life form at the same level. Living in a special flame and thunder star environment, the increase in its physical strength is no weaker than any elemental level." Emma said with a smile.

Li Ming nodded, and then asked curiously: "Who did this gene seed originally belong to?"

Li Ming didn't know much about the custom quotation from Yeyue Laboratory, but he thought it should be extraordinary. Anyone who had the ability to customize this kind of genetic seeds must be a big shot.

"This..." Emma was stunned and seemed very embarrassed.

Li Mingze smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else. It's just that we intercepted this thing, so the custom-maker won't have any objections, right?"

"Of course I understand that you must have paid the penalty, but for a big boss who customized this kind of gene seed, face should also be quite important?"

"Don't wait for me to take this thing away, and then someone will come out of nowhere and say I took something I shouldn't have taken."

Blackbeard didn't know what kind of power he had mobilized to cut off other people's beards, but Li Ming didn't want to make enemies for no reason.

Or, you always have to know who might cause trouble.

Emma's narrow snake pupils shrank unsteadily, and she quickly inhaled and exhaled her pink snake tongue, and finally explained: "Don't worry, all the remaining problems have been solved."

This perfunctory answer naturally did not satisfy Li Ming. Under the gaze of An Ye, Emma reluctantly said:
"Also, the person who customized this gene seed is not a big shot, and your information will not be leaked. He doesn't know who intercepted it. We told him that there was just an accident during the preparation process."

"Ha." Li Ming laughed inexplicably.

He knew that it was normal to pay liquidated damages for this kind of interception, and the more critical issue was actually a matter of face.

He believed that Yeyue Laboratory was willing to pay the penalty, but it was unlikely that he would offend a big boss because of it.

Even if he is not a big shot, the person who is able to come up with such a huge fortune and has access to Yeyue Laboratory should be quite extraordinary.

But in the eyes of Yeyue Laboratory, it is still a "soft persimmon".

Li Ming did not ask any more questions. He picked up the gene seed, took a look at it, and put it into the box. He closed it, put it in his arms, and disappeared in a dignified manner.

Emma and An Ye looked at him and didn't take it seriously. This guy is a student of a Casting Star-level mechanic, so isn't it normal for him to have a folding space?
After closing the door of the vault, Emma immediately said to Li Ming: "We have a fusion observation room here, which can effectively deal with the adverse effects produced during the fusion of gene seeds. If you need it, I can arrange it."

"Do I need to be under your observation throughout the whole process?" Li Ming frowned.

"Yes, we also need to connect to external metal detection tags, otherwise we won't be able to estimate the risks." Emma nodded.

"No need." Li Ming refused. The risk in fusing gene seeds was nothing more than the insufficient physical strength. He had the ability to control the blessing and could weaken it infinitely.

"Ok."

Emma's face seemed a little disappointed. Li Ming's face darkened. He could roughly guess that the other party's purpose was probably not only to help him reduce the danger, but also to take the opportunity to take some samples.

The development potential of level 46, who wouldn’t be curious?
After leaving Yeyue Laboratory, An Ye got a cigar from somewhere and was smoking with a gloomy expression. "Boy, let me remind you that your development potential is too high. There are many people who are interested in you."

"When I say I'm interested, I don't mean to kill you, but to find a way to get your genetic sample. Don't take it lightly."

"I don't know why Qinglong asked you to show up in public and do these things."

"I understand." Li Ming nodded. An Ye didn't say much. He adjusted the coordinates of the shuttle and headed towards another location.

……

The Machinists' Association, on the upper level of the Twin Towers, is a majestic steel building that soars into the sky, with a huge sign hanging on it that looks like three strange hands superimposed on each other.

They are not human hands and look strange.

There are more people here, mechanics with badges hanging on their bodies come and go, and many life forms have very obvious modified components on their bodies.

Although their own life levels are not high, they are followed by extremely fierce bodyguards.

The Machinists Association provides free residency to mechanics of any level, but the maximum length of stay cannot exceed one month.

In the chaotic star gap, mechanics are very popular. They are needed for the maintenance of small weapons, the repair of spacecraft, and even the repair of warships.

Many expedition teams or raider teams will have corresponding mechanics following them, and their priority is even higher than that of medical staff.

A shot of cell repair medicine can recover from a minor injury in a few hours, but if a weapon or spacecraft malfunctions, it can be fatal.

As a result, the Machinists Guild also distributes various mercenary tasks, which are widely praised.

"Ding - the assessment is over."

On the middle floor, the lights in an examination room went out, and there were five or six people waiting outside, wearing simple combat armor, with different shapes and races.

But when I heard the announcement, I couldn't help but stand up.

Buzz - the metal door of the examination room moved back to the sides, and a thin middle-aged man with a full beard walked out. He had very high cheekbones and deep eye sockets.

But at this moment his face flushed, as if he was suppressing some kind of excitement.

"Joseph, did you pass?" the tall and burly blue-skinned man asked immediately.

Joseph looked around at his companions and couldn't help grinning. He said, "What do you think? Of course!"

"Ha! I knew you would succeed!" The blue-skinned man rushed over and hugged him. His companions were also delighted. Next to him was a furry creature that looked like a chimpanzee, beating its chest and howling. "Then you will be a mid-level mechanic in the future. Can the boss still support you?" A voice suddenly said, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

"Ha..." Joseph waved his hands and smiled bitterly, "I'm not going to risk my life. I'm going to go home and start a machinery company. I came here to look for resources and hone my skills."

"Are you ready to go back..." Several people looked a little disappointed.

Joseph was about to speak to comfort his companion when he heard a scolding voice from behind: "The test is over, why don't you leave quickly? Don't make loud noises here and disturb other mechanics who are taking the test!"

The people who came out were a haughty-looking humanoid race with horns similar to those of argali on their heads. They were wearing the silver-white standard uniform of the association and had narrow eyes that swept across their faces coldly.

“Yes… yes…” Joseph said with a look of awe on his face, and hurriedly pulled his companions away.

"Who is he? He looks so arrogant."

"He is the chief examiner of this assessment, a senior mechanic..."

"He's only a senior mechanic. I thought he was a master mechanic."

"It's not enough to be a senior mechanic. In our civilization, senior mechanics can become members of the Capital Academy of Sciences. If I were a senior mechanic, I would definitely go back and enjoy my life. Joseph is only a mid-level mechanic and he doesn't even want to work with us."

"It's not that I don't want to..."

Six or seven life forms disappeared at the end of the corridor with a lot of noise. The chief judge behind them snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay attention to this group of low-level life forms.

He straightened his clothes and was about to take a step, but the smart terminal in his hand vibrated slightly. He looked down, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly quickened his pace.

"Fuck, why are there so many people down there?"

Joseph and his group got off the elevator, and their faces, which were originally chatting and laughing, froze involuntarily, because the entire hall was filled with staff from the Machinists Association.

There were crowds of people, all wearing silver uniforms, making it hard to open your eyes, and there was a passage in the center.

"What are they doing?" They were squeezed in the innermost part and could only walk through the outermost passage, which was very narrow. Even the most burly boss had to turn sideways.

"It looks like some important person is coming." Joseph frowned.

As he was talking, there was a commotion outside, and then a group of people walked in. The people on both sides were the easiest to identify; they were from the Mechanics Association.

"Dwarf - Scooter, the great mechanic?" Joseph's heart trembled slightly as he looked at the sturdy purple-skinned dwarf on the right.

There are two great mechanics in this branch of the Mechanics Association, and they are all here now, one on the left and one on the right, surrounding the young human in the center.

He looked nothing special, his face was calm and expressionless, as if the company of two big mechanics was nothing.

"Why does it feel familiar?" Joseph frowned and looked at the young man.

Li Ming was speechless. When he came, he had never expected that the Mechanics Association would welcome him with such a grand ceremony.

He had been waiting at the entrance of the Mechanics Association, catching him off guard.

The dark night has disappeared, and he doesn't really like the feeling of being the center of attention.

"This way please..." the big mechanic on the left reminded. He had a goatee, pointed ears, and a thin body, but he was not flattering.

There was already someone waiting next to the elevator, pressing the elevator button and waiting.

Li Ming secretly sighed, the battle record was of high value, this was not a bad thing, many people witnessed this incident.

drop--
The elevator door opened, and a group of people stepped in and went straight to the upper floors.

Only after they left did the manager direct the staff in the hall to disperse.

Joseph's companions murmured, "Where did this big shot come from? Did you see the goat-head who scolded us before? He is only qualified to stand in front of the elevator door and press the elevator button, and he looks so flattering, but no one even looks at him."

"Fuck, Li Ming, he is Li Ming!" A voice suddenly shouted, and someone had secretly compared it through the smart terminal.

"Li Ming?" Joseph's mind seemed to flash with lightning, and he said in a lost voice: "A student of the Forging Star Mechanic Master Qinglong?"

"Li Ming? Who is Li Ming?" The chimpanzee came over with a confused look on his face.

"Have you forgotten what happened in the Corona Borealis ring some time ago?" Joseph asked excitedly.

"Corona Borealis ring?" The chimpanzee scratched his head, then asked, "Is that the thing you were yelling about for no apparent reason?"

Joseph was extremely excited: "Yes, he is Qinglong's student, a Casting Star-level mechanic!"

Several teammates looked at each other in bewilderment. Not only them, but many people were unfamiliar with this name. There were so many things happening in the interstellar space every day that they really didn't pay much attention to it.

Joseph paid special attention to it because he was a star-casting mechanic.

But they all knew what a Casting Star Mechanic was, and they couldn't help but envy him: "That's great, how can someone become a Casting Star Mechanic's student?"

"Don't even think about it. This kind of person must have been cultivated by a powerful force."

"He's not really like that. He comes from a low-level civilization, and his parents are dead." Joseph frowned and emphasized, "He must be chosen because of his talent."

"From a low-level civilization?" The teammates were stunned.

……

In the top floor office, Li Ming sat on the sofa. The goateed mechanic named Hart was very polite. "Your goal, Lord Ulysses, has already informed us that Lord Qinglong is willing to join the Mechanics Association. We are all very happy."

Li Ming smiled. An Ye should have just said hello to Ulysses, and the other party notified this branch, which was equivalent to endorsing Qing Long.

He should also be a Casting-star level mechanic.

"Here is some basic information that needs to be filled out..." The other party handed over a piece of paper information, including age, gender, race, etc.

Li Ming raised his eyebrows, wrote "Qinglong" on his name, and handed it back.

The other party glanced at it, his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything. He entered the relevant information and typed a few lines of code. Then he looked up and said, "

Well, Lord Qinglong is already a Casting Star-level mechanic certified by the Machinists Association."

"So simple?" Li Ming was surprised.

"Generally speaking, the assessment of a Casting Star Mechanic requires the presence of a Master Craftsman-level Mechanic and two Casting Star-level Mechanics, and multiple reviews of no less than three months are required," he explained.
"However, Lord Qinglong's situation is special. He has already proven himself in public."
