This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 331: Terrax’s Heir?

In the front was a woman wearing a gene inhibitor, her black hair casually scattered, still unable to hide her delicate face, and her expression was sad.

Robin stood there in a daze, staring at the woman, Yuan'er?

An image of a girl disappearing in the flames appeared in his mind, and a feeling of sadness suddenly surged over him, waking him up with a complicated expression.

How...how could there be a woman who looks so similar?

This resemblance was not in appearance, but a combination of temperament and expression, which suddenly reminded him of some past memories.

That beauty made him linger.

"Who is she?" Robin couldn't help but ask, and subconsciously smoothed his hair, revealing his handsome face.

"Why hasn't she left yet?" Li Ming asked knowingly, looking at Cassis, who was in charge of guarding, and was also an old acquaintance, Ulrich's adopted daughter.

Ulrich also called her over. At first, when Cassis learned that her old father had become Qinglong's subordinate, she was really devastated for a while.

Before Cassis could speak, Fushi whispered, "I have nowhere to go. All my friends have been killed."

Cassis then added, "This Miss Fushi doesn't want to leave."

After the base was built, in order to avoid long-term neglect and causing Fusi to fall out, Li Ming also released Fusi.

In order to maintain her image, the other party naturally gave Li Ming a cold face, so Li Ming took the opportunity to send her away.

But Fusi firmly expressed her distrust of Li Ming. After several arguments, Li Ming even expressed his willingness to give her a spaceship and let her leave on her own.

But she certainly didn't want to leave, and the excuse was that all her friends were dead.

For some reason, seeing Fussy's sad look, Robin was reminded of the girl who died in the fire because of him. He felt even more pain in his heart and his mood was obviously much lower.

"You..." Fusi raised her head hesitantly, her eyes flickering, and she seemed very shy: "Can I stay here for a while?"

"Didn't you speak ill of me before?" Li Ming asked knowingly.

"It was my misunderstanding. You are a good person..." Fusi whispered.

Robin's mouth curled up, and it was obvious that this woman named Fusi had fallen in love with Li Ming.

"Since you are willing to stay, it's up to you." Li Ming's reaction was still indifferent, and even Cassis was speechless.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Fusi had fallen in love with Li Ming, but it was not known whether Li Ming was not interested in women or not, as he simply did not show any sign of it.

Many mercenaries below secretly felt sorry for Fusi. They secretly called Fusi the "dream girl".

Fusi lowered her head, seemingly stubborn and shy, but she was roaring in her heart, wondering what was wrong with this damn Li Ming.

This was completely different from what she had expected, and she even guessed that there was something wrong with the other person's sexual orientation.

The abnormalities in her body became more and more obvious, making her uneasy, but she couldn't find the reason.

Li Ming asked Cassis to arrange a room for her, and he took Robin and continued forward to the guest room area and assigned a room to her.

"Sir..." Before leaving, Robin suddenly called Li Ming and said hesitantly, "Miss Fusi just now seemed to be in love with you. She is also a poor person. I hope you can treat her well."

He reminded that he thought Li Ming was a wooden man who was not smart enough.

Li Ming smiled, "Oh, Your Excellency, are you feeling pity?"

"Please don't misunderstand me." Robin explained with a sad look: "She just reminded me of a dead friend."

The lethality of white moonlight is huge.

Li Ming looked at Luo Bing, who had a gloomy expression, and left without making any comment.

Robin knew he had said too much, so he sighed helplessly, lying on his back on the bed, his hands behind his head, his eyes dull.

The skull he placed on the table suddenly burst into light and created a force field that enveloped the two of them.

"Robin, don't you say you won't get involved in these things?" asked the butler.

"I definitely won't get involved. It's different if I follow Li Ming. He has a big boss protecting him." Robin responded unconsciously.

"Even a Casting-level mechanic won't work." The butler suggested, "You'd better leave here as soon as possible."

"Why rush? Even if I don't go, it's okay to stay here for a few days. After I build a good relationship with Li Ming, I can help him if anything happens." Robin said unhappily, "You robots just don't understand the ways of the world."

"It's very dangerous here. The woman just now was the Mother Tree of Desire." The butler said in a deep voice.

"The Mother Tree of Desire? Fusi?" Robin was a little confused. "What is the Mother Tree of Desire?"

"A special life form born in a certain deep dimensional world, which can arouse the desires in the heart of the life form." The housekeeper explained: "She should have merged the gene seed of the Mother Tree of Desire."

"So that's why I feel she's like Yuan'er?" Robin murmured, and then angrily, "Damn it, how dare you blaspheme Yuan'er... Does Li Ming know? I'm going to tell him!"

"The Mother Tree of Desire is an S-level life form," the butler added.

Robin, who had just stood up, suddenly froze in place, his mouth dry: "That woman just now, was she an S-level life form?"

"Yes." The housekeeper confirmed: "So, if you expose her, it may lead to bad consequences."

"I suggest you leave as soon as possible."

Robin was so excited that he didn't expect to see such an exciting scene right away. He was puzzled and asked:

"That means Li Ming probably doesn't know the other party's identity, so why did she come?"

"This has nothing to do with you." The butler shook his head.

Robin ignored him and said to himself, "She must have a purpose if she lurked here. If I expose her, will I be helping Li Ming a lot? Or even saving his life?"

"You can't explain how you figured that out?" the butler added.

"There's always a way to uncover secrets, superpowers, and the like..." Robin said.

"The other party used a very sophisticated concealment technique, which cannot be explained by ordinary abilities. I suggest that you leave as soon as possible." The butler was still talking, and Robin shook his head: "Your suggestion may not be correct."

"Sometimes you need to be steady, and sometimes you need to take risks. In this situation, I don't need to take too much risk to do the other party a big favor. If I had a friend like this before, I wouldn't be seen as a soft persimmon by Yeyue Company."

"Besides, if something goes wrong, don't we still have you?"

The butler fell silent. The fact that his gene seed had been stolen was indeed a big blow to Robin.

"Let Li Ming wait for his teacher to come back before taking action against that woman." Robin stood up suddenly and did what he said.

So, Li Ming was caught up by Robin again before he returned to the laboratory.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the other party's mysterious look, Li Ming was a little confused.

"Is there a secret place where no one else can hear us talking?" Robin lowered his voice, feeling uneasy.

After all, he is an S-level life form. To him, he is a big shot that is out of reach. It's too scary.

Li Ming remained silent but still took him to his laboratory and said, "This place is absolutely secret, don't worry."

Robin looked around, still not feeling reassured, and patted the skull in his hand, which immediately popped out and enveloped the two. "That Fusi, something's wrong." Robin said.

"Oh?" Li Ming was slightly surprised and looked Robin up and down, "You actually figured it out."

"She is a..." Robin said subconsciously, and then suddenly reacted and stared at Li Ming as if he had seen a ghost: "What do you mean by that?"

"She is an S-level life form." Li Ming said casually.

"You know?" Robin was stunned and swallowed his saliva. "This is not a misunderstanding, right? She is one of us?"

"No, she is someone lurking around me." Li Ming shook his head, quite surprised. Monroe did not notice Fusi's hiding at that time, and he only guessed the clues relying on his professional ability.

How did Robin figure that out?

"You let an S-class life form lurk around you?" Robin swallowed hard, "Are you playing such a big game, buddy?"

"Haha..." Li Ming laughed, "What surprises me is that you actually saw through her ability to hide, even an A-level life form can't detect it."

"Ha...ha..." Robin smiled awkwardly, then suddenly felt regretful. He quickly changed the subject and said reluctantly, "I wanted to do you a favor, but it seems I was being too sentimental."

"No, no..." Li Ming shook his head, his eyes strange: "I am still very grateful for your reminder, I wonder if you have more information?"

"More information..." Robin hesitated. He couldn't explain it in the first place, and he couldn't explain it any further. But now he took the risk to come here, only to get a bland response. He felt like he had suffered a loss.

"It seems that because of the Mother Tree of Desire, she looks like someone I have met before."

"Mother Tree of Desire?" It didn't sound like a good thing to Li Ming.

Robin said: "A strange creature in the deep dimensional world."

Li Ming seemed to be thinking about something, and then he said to Robin: "Your Excellency took the risk to come and remind me, I appreciate your kindness."

Robin was slightly pleased, this was what he wanted, and said, "I'm glad you can help."

Then he said with lingering fear: "Then... Fuxi..."

"Don't worry, she can't cause any trouble." Li Ming said calmly.

Feeling the strong confidence in the other party's words, Robin has been envious countless times. It's good to have a big boss as a backer.

"That's good. I'll go back first." Robin said goodbye and was about to turn around and leave.

Li Ming moved his feet slightly, and for some reason, Robin suddenly cried out "Ouch", half of his body became numb, and the whole person staggered.

Li Ming was quick-witted and quick-handed. He held his shoulder with one hand and caught the skull that he had dropped with the other hand, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

[Manager--Special Type: Intelligent mechanical bodies left behind by the Titans, they have been looking for successors.

Control conditions: 30 million metal energy
Control ability - Selection: Designate a certain life form to participate in the Titan Trial. 】

"I'm sorry, a circuit in my laboratory is broken and there is a leakage of electricity from time to time." Li Ming apologized and handed the skull back.

Titan? That's another name for Terrax. Is this thing actually choosing a successor?
Robin's frightened expression finally calmed down, and he managed to say, "The strength of your electric current is a bit shocking."

Watching Robin leave, Li Ming's eyes flickered. This skull is quite interesting. It requires 30 million metal energies to control it. It is worth a lot of money.

It must be because of that ability that he participated in the Titan Trial?

Inherit what Titan left behind?
And it seems that there is more than one [Manager], raising Gu?

"Robin..." Li Ming murmured, his eyes flickering.

Robin did not leave, but stayed there. He just avoided meeting Fussy on purpose and smugly upgraded many of his outdated equipments.

The construction of various assembly lines is proceeding in an orderly manner, large plain areas are being framed and large warehouses are rising out of thin air.

Before I knew it, two months had passed in a flash.

"Today, under the mediation of the Interstellar Alliance and witnessed by the envoys of the Xingyuan Empire, the Yitlan civilization and the Judge civilization signed a ceasefire agreement..."

"This five-month-long conflict has resulted in countless casualties..."

The screen was playing the signing ceremony of the armistice agreement. The representative sent by the Itlan civilization was Asmara, the executioner who beheaded Antonio. This was enough to show that the Itlan civilization did not care about the armistice.

Asmara looked more heroic and her eyes were sharp. During this period, as a vanguard officer, Asmara received a lot of support from the Grand Duke of Blood, which made her influence and authority in the Itlan civilization continue to rise.

Her ruthless style won the favor of the hawks and she was vaguely known as the Iron-Blooded Princess.

But Li Ming knew more. The reason for the ceasefire was that Grand Duke Xixue obtained compensation from Grand Duke Guya and ceded a quarter of his fiefdom.

But the situation did not stabilize. Li Ming learned from Blackbeard that Grand Duke Guya's forced compensation had made the royal family extremely dissatisfied and caused internal turmoil.

Many nobles threatened to settle accounts with the Bloody Duke.

The situation for the Bloodthirsty Duke, who received compensation, was not so good either. Instead, he suffered more oppression, like a blunt knife cutting his flesh, and he was in a state of panic.

"It's better not to be idle. If I am idle, I will look for the real murderer who killed his son." Li Ming muttered.

"One move affects the whole body."

After closing the virtual screen, Li Ming felt emotional, because the internal conflicts were intense enough that any tiny spark could cause a big explosion.

The situation over there was unpredictable, but his side was proceeding step by step and growing steadily.

With the help of the [Matter Reconstruction Fabricator], in addition to the seventy-eight assembly lines required for the production of mechanical bodies, thirty-two small arms assembly lines have been completed.

The first business was taken half a month ago.

The weapons renewal orders from Blackwater Security Company totaled 20 billion, with a net profit of about %.

Afterwards, there were many more weapons orders, all of which came from some orders that the Black Hole Hall had originally promised.

What surprised Li Ming was that some business came from outside the Chaos Star Gap. Some of Connit’s old friends and resistance organizations from various places also sent him many orders.

All in all, the company received orders worth nearly 10 billion yuan in the first half month of opening.

At the same time, we also received some mercenary orders. Jessiah, Theo... were not in the base.

"It's more comfortable to develop genetic seeds and make money at the same time." Li Ming stretched his body.

During this time, someone was working for him and he had time to spare, and he had been developing gene seeds, with the progress reaching 10%, which was more than he expected.

This is also because we have been working tirelessly to develop gene seeds.

However, there is also some bad news.

Almost all the orders we have received so far are from personal connections and have been promised long ago.

Apart from the unexpected surprise from Cornett, there were no natural orders and someone had already started to block them.

Thinking about this, he opened the backend of the Black Hole network again and switched to the account belonging to Qinglong. Blackbeard surprisingly sent him a new message, wanting to discuss in detail.
