Chapter 330: The Trader is More Frustrating Than the Other
Whenever Robin thought of this, he felt sad and angry.

He did not come from a good background, and came from a low-level civilization. When he was very young, by chance, he got the purple gold skull in his hand and called himself a butler.

The other party claimed that he was chosen as the successor of a certain civilization.

At first, he was very excited, but the butler claimed that in order to obtain this secret treasure, he would have to go through many tests and complete them step by step.

Over the past few decades, the other party has been making promises to him from time to time, and he is tired of hearing them.

It’s not like the other party hasn’t provided any benefits. All the expenses for purchasing genetic seeds are basically provided by the housekeeper. They are special funds and cannot be used for other purposes.

This is also an important support point for Robin to continue to believe.

Faced with Robin's slightly sad and angry words, the butler did not respond with mental power.

Suzaku's lively eyes stared at him. Robin had already suppressed his emotions. Compared with many other people, he was already lucky enough. If compared with others, he would be too lucky.

Robin tried to get more information from Suzaku, but all the answers he got were information that could be found out and were of little value.

After chatting for a while, the door of the living room opened. Robin looked up subconsciously and saw Li Ming walked in with a smile on his face. He was wearing a white lab coat and looked ordinary.

But Robin's eyes changed slightly, and he felt a sense of threat from the other party. It was the fear of a life form at the bottom of the food chain encountering a life form at a higher level.

His B-class gene seed is called [Shadow Lizard]. It is almost intuitive and his body reacts naturally, not controlled by his emotions.

A-level life form!

Robin was secretly shocked and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. His B-level gene seed had been developed to 100%, and only A-level life forms could make him feel threatened in this way.

"How is it possible..." Robin said subconsciously. When leaving Twin Peaks, he also paid special attention to the relevant information about Li Ming.

I was quite surprised when I learned that the other party was a B-level life form in his twenties.

But now, the opponent has become an A-level life form.

Is the development potential of level 46 really that terrifying?
Robin's throat moved, and he felt even more envious. He had amazing potential for development, and he also had a teacher who was a star-level mechanic. He was definitely a super winner.

I am like a nuclear-powered donkey running forward with a carrot hanging in front of me. I can only see it but cannot touch it.

My heart felt more and more sour.

"Mr. Phantom Thief?" Li Ming seemed to be asking, but in fact he was greeting him.

"Oh oh..." Robin finally reacted and stood up hurriedly, "Sir Shadow..."

"My name is Li Ming..." Li Ming smiled and walked casually to the bar in the lounge: "What would you like to drink?"

"Whatever..." Robin hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is Robin..."

"Robin?" Li Ming poured a glass of water and motioned Robin to sit down. The two sat on the sofa. Robin took the glass of water and shook it to his lips in a pretentious manner.

But with Li Ming's observation skills, he could naturally find out that the other party didn't drink at all.

He did not expose her, and greeted her, "Your Excellency has come a long way, thank you for your hard work."

"I just finished some things a while ago, so I'm taking a break recently. It's not hard." Robin shook his head, got to the point, took out an exquisite little box from his bag, and placed it in front of Li Ming.

"This is what your Excellency wants."

Li Ming raised his eyebrows, picked it up from the table and opened it. There was an irregular black stone on it. He held it in his hand and tried to absorb energy. It was indeed the Stone of Terrax.

Putting the stone back for the time being, Li Ming nodded with satisfaction, "You are a straightforward person."

Before Robin could say anything, the door of the room was opened again, and a silver-white humanoid mechanical body walked in, holding a metal box in each hand.

Robin couldn't help but look over there. The humanoid robot placed the boxes on the table, opened them, and pushed them in front of Robin.

Robin's breathing stagnated. In the box were two sturdy arm armors. The metal armor plates on the surface were as delicate as scales, and the fists were hideous and brutal.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The metal shell was cold and heavy, which made his heart palpitate.

He couldn't help but pick it up and put his hands in. The scales opened automatically and then tightly wrapped around his arms. Along with the vibration of the engine, the scales opened and closed continuously, and there was a "clicking" sound between the opening and closing of his knuckles.

He let out a long sigh and suppressed the excitement in his heart. Up to now, he had never come into contact with A-level weapons.

This weapon is absolutely powerful.

That's why he needed to check the goods. After hesitating for a moment, he patted the skull next to his butt and said, "Butler, take a look..."

Then he said to Li Ming with a hint of apology, "I have never come into contact with weapons of this level, so I need to inspect the goods."

"It's okay, it's normal." Li Ming didn't care. This was the [Fist of the Violent Tiger] from Brot, and it was of little use to him now.

Li Ming glanced at the purple-gold skull but didn't care. The artificial intelligence he carried with him had certain programs written into it in advance, which could provide a lot of convenience, and many people would carry it with them.

Robin held the skull in his hands, and a light curtain shot out from his green eye sockets, sweeping across the arm armor, and he said, "No problem, whether it's the material strength or the engine power source, it's an A-level weapon."

Li Ming's eyes moved slightly, and then his gaze fell on the skull. Can it be scanned so quickly?
Robin took a deep breath, closed the box, and looked at Li Ming's nonchalant expression. His originally excited mood suddenly turned into a feeling of sadness.

A-level weapons can be taken out whenever they are asked. This is the confidence that comes from having a big boss as a backer.

Li Ming kept smiling the whole time. When he saw the other party close the box, he asked, "Can you tell me where you got this stone? I am willing to pay you some money."

Robin groaned, shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't know much, so there's no need for reward."

"Oh." Li Ming was surprised, "Thank you very much."

It's definitely a good idea to make friends with this kind of person. Robin is not a fool. His information is not worth much anyway, so it's better to make some friends with him.

Robin sorted out his thoughts and said, "Not long ago, when I was completing a mission, I learned that the Holy Silver Civilization had opened a secret castle in the dimensional world and dug up the remains of an ancient civilization."

"I am quite interested in this, but out of caution, I asked a group of Twisted Blazing Sun guys to help me explore the way."

Li Ming was not very clear about the Holy Silver Civilization, but he had heard of the Twisted Sun, which was a terrorist organization defined by the Interstellar Alliance, like a cult, with many followers.

"Those guys from the Twisted Blazing Sun took this stone from the secret fortress of the Holy Silver Civilization..." Robin said halfway and shook his head:
"No, I almost forgot. Those guys said that the secret fortress of the Holy Silver Civilization has been occupied by the Xingyuan Empire."

"Xingyuan Empire?" Li Ming was surprised. He didn't expect that the Terrax Stone was actually obtained from the dimensional world.

And it is involved with the Xingyuan Empire.

Li Ming thought that the dimensional world was mysterious and dangerous to organizations like the Torch, but for powerful civilizations, it was a treasure land containing all kinds of magical substances and phenomena.

Almost every powerful civilization will conduct in-depth exploration of the dimensional world to catalyze special technologies and techniques.

The outpost opened up with special technology is called a secret fortress, which is connected to the real universe.

"Can you tell me the coordinates of that dimension?" Li Ming asked again. Robin nodded without hesitation: "No problem, I'll send it to you later."

"Do you want to go explore?" he asked immediately.

Li Ming sensed the desire in his words and asked back, "You want to go too."

"Hmm..." Robin hesitated and subconsciously glanced at the skull in his hand.

The butler spoke so seriously and conscientiously that it was impossible for him not to be curious.

If he were alone, he would definitely not be willing to go, but Li Mingke has a star-casting mechanic as his teacher, so it would be much safer if he followed him.

"if you can."

Li Ming grinned, "Of course, you provided the coordinates."

This guy named Robin seems to be very extraordinary and lucky. He somehow got a piece of Terrax Stone.

Although Li Ming is not very fond of luck, he still believes in it to some extent.

Robin's expression calmed down a little, and he said, "However, you may need to wait for a while."

"Why?" Li Ming was a little puzzled.

"I feel that this exploration is definitely not safe. I want to wait until I fuse with the A-level gene seed and become an A-level life form before going together." Robin explained.

"Becoming a Class A life form?" Li Ming was even more surprised. He looked Robin up and down and said, "I have a question. How old are you..."

"Uh..." Robin hesitated and said vaguely, "Forty or fifty..."

"Forty or fifty?" Li Ming was surprised. Judging from his age, the other party's development potential would not be lower than thirty or even thirty-five levels.

And he guessed that this age might have been deliberately exaggerated.

Those who can be favored by the Black Hole Network are indeed extraordinary. He sighed secretly and asked, "How long do I need to wait?"

"Calculating the time, it will be at most two months." Robin estimated, "If you include the time they take to get here, it may be closer to three months, but we can go to Twin Peaks earlier."

"The nearest branch of Yeyue Biological Company is right there."

Li Ming raised his eyebrows, "Did you customize it in Yeyue Laboratory?"

He remembered that Yeyue Laboratory had undertaken only top-level and second-top-level A-grade gene seeds. Was this Robin so financially wealthy?

"Yeah..." Robin nodded, but suddenly felt angry, "I get angry when I talk about this."

"I should be an A-level life form by now."

Li Ming didn't care at first, but when he heard this, his expression suddenly became strange, and he couldn't help but look at Luo Bing: "What does this mean?"

Robin said angrily: "According to the original time, my gene seed should have been customized long ago, but the damn Night Moon Laboratory Company lied to me and said that the adjustment failed and asked me to wait another three months."

"In fact, it was a prepared gene seed that they gave to other life forms!"

"Ah?" Li Ming was stunned and looked at Robin with an indescribable look.

It really is him. How could I meet him like this?

"I'm so unlucky." Robin was still complaining.

"Then do you know who took it?" Li Ming asked, stroking his chin.

"I don't know. I'm just a small character, but I don't have such connections." Robin said helplessly.

"What would happen if you knew?" Li Ming asked again.

"If I knew." Robin snorted coldly, his face fell again, "What else can I do? I don't have a backer like you."

"Actually, it's okay for me to wait three more months. After all, they paid a penalty for breach of contract, 20% of the total price, nearly billion." Robin said, grinning again. For him, this was really not a bad thing.

He could not embezzle the star coins used for customization, as it was all handled by the butler, but the penalty for breach of contract belonged entirely to him.

For him, the more than 4 billion yuan is already a considerable fortune, enough to live a carefree life for a long, long time.

"Really..." Li Ming's eyes flickered. Why did he feel that the portrait of Robin and the person who customized the golden gene seed did not match?

You can go to Yeyue Laboratory to customize top-level A-grade gene seeds, so why would you care about that little penalty?

This guy has a secret.

Li Ming estimated, but did not pay too much attention to it. Anyone who has made a name for himself in the interstellar space these days must have some secrets.

"It's mainly because Yeyue Biological Company treated me like a fool and has no credibility at all." He said angrily. The customer information is confidential to Yeyue Biological Company and it is obviously impossible to leak it to those who intercepted it.

It must be that the other party told Yeyue Company about the demand, and then Yeyue Company picked a weak target, that is, him.

"He doesn't seem to know that I took the gene seeds away." Li Ming guessed secretly, although he seemed to be walking around the Twin Peaks openly.

But in reality, only the big forces can get the relevant information, and Robin does not have such connections.

"Then let's wait two months." Li Ming was not in a hurry, he also had things to do.

"Thank you very much, sir." Robin looked happy. He didn't expect that Li Ming was so easy to talk to.

As expected of someone who came from a small civilization, he is just like him, without any airs.

Unlike those so-called aristocrats and wealthy families, whose descendants are all arrogant.

Li Ming added: "If you don't mind, you can stay here for the time being. You can move around freely except for some places that are expressly prohibited."

"Sorry for bothering you." Robin thanked him again. He was thinking about getting in touch with the other party, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.

After chatting for a while, Li Ming took Robin to the guest room area. On the way, they met mercenaries and mechanical bodies from time to time. They all stopped to greet Li Ming respectfully, including some Class B life forms.

There are a total of thirteen B-level life forms under Huitong, and most of them are in the base.

He even met Sandro, who was about to lead a team to complete a mercenary mission. He was also very polite to Li Ming, which made Robin even more envious and his teeth ached.

After observing all along, Li Ming was basically certain that Robin had never had a good life. The reason why he was able to customize the top-level A-grade gene seeds must be a hidden secret, a big hidden secret.

As they were walking, Li Ming suddenly stopped. Robin didn't understand why, so he looked at a group of people walking towards him.
