This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 337 Qinglong turns out to be a mad scientist (please give me a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month, thank you!)

Buzz--
The hatch was closed, Fusi had an unpleasant look on her face, and the maids in black veil on both sides were kneeling on the ground, but she ignored them and walked all the way to the central room.

The communicator here has been activated, and the shadow of the Virgin Mary is standing in the room.

"Holy Mother..." Fushi whispered.

"I already know." The Virgin Mary said in a calm voice, "Qinglong's strength and methods are beyond our expectations. It's normal that you were discovered."

She sighed, "This S-class mechanical body, Qinglong, is really not simple. Come back first and give me more details about Li Ming, and then we can think of other ways."

Although the plan failed, it was not enough to make them angry. This was not the only failed plan, and this one was not the most serious.

They received the news while Fussy was on the way to escape. Although they were shocked, they did not blame anyone after learning the whole situation.

“Holy Mother…” Fusi interrupted and said in a deep voice: “Qinglong’s methods may be more terrible than you think. He is waiting for us.”

The Virgin Mary was slightly surprised, "What do you mean?"

"He released Li Ming to lure us. Since he couldn't find us, he just let us go find him." Fuxi emphasized: "He might be planning to take over the Star of Eternal Silence."

"Hmm?" The Virgin Mary frowned and asked in confusion, "Why would you have such an idea?"

"My gene seed has degenerated..." Fusi said weakly.

"What!?" The Virgin Mary's calm expression changed completely.

"It has degenerated by at least 3%." Fusi added, her tone becoming more desperate. "And this is not the last time. I don't know what he did to me. It may be some kind of genetic virus, but it is indeed eating away at my body."

"He discovered my identity from the very beginning, maybe through the air, or maybe some other medium. I didn't find out anything, and it has been slowly eroding my body for such a long time."

The body of an S-level life form cannot be corroded by ordinary viruses. She believed that Qinglong must have spent a lot of time, which was why the other party had not exposed him.

"Wait..." The Mother Mother looked doubtful, "Is your gene seed degenerating?"

She was still digesting the news, and Fusi nodded helplessly.

The Virgin Mary's expression changed and she was no longer calm. Could it be true as Fusi said?
"Desire, don't come back yet. I will arrange a laboratory for you to find out your physical condition first." The Virgin Mary said in a deep voice.

Finding out one's physical condition is one thing, but one is also worried about whether the virus is contagious.

Fuxi's words are frightening, and we must be on guard.
Fusi hesitated and said, "Qinglong said that only if you talk to him, he might be able to remove the virus from me."

The Virgin Mary folded her hands and her voice returned to silence: "I understand."

.........

"It's actually the Sisterhood..."

In a room of a shabby tavern somewhere, the quilt on the bed was stained with some unknown gray-brown marks.

Blackbeard sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the battle images in front of him. It was very blurry and he could hardly make out anything.

Only when the fighting stops can we see some clues.

"The Witch of Desire is facing a mechanical body..." Blackbeard shook his head. He was naturally very concerned about Qinglong's information. Someone notified him as soon as the incident happened.

"Level 46 development potential. It turns out that Li Ming is trying to lure the Sisterhood. This is indeed a sweet bait. If you can't find him, let him find you..." Blackbeard's expression was unpredictable. His beard was pulled out one by one, and his eyes became deeper and deeper: "Star of Eternal Silence..."

"This is your goal. Ever since Li Ming was exposed, you have thought about it. Level 46... only four levels away..."

"The Sisters are thieves. Even if it is lost during the siege, it is indeed most likely to be found if we start from them."

"But if we just let him go, what will happen next?"

Blackbeard was not quite sure. As for the Red River Star Stream, at least there was evidence from Azure Dragon's activity track, but for this matter, it was just pure guesswork.

Even if it weren't for the Star of Eternal Silence, the Sisterhood would definitely try to obtain the seeds because of its high development potential.

It is not necessarily that Qinglong did it on purpose.

Blackbeard shook his head and put these crazy thoughts aside.

"Let's not talk about anything else, Qinglong's strength is jumping out little by little. Whenever someone tries to test him, he'll jump out a little, not more, not less, just enough to handle it. He's really a cunning guy..." Blackbeard couldn't guess how many tricks Qinglong had.

"S-class mechanical body, tsk tsk..." As he was pondering, the blue ring on the middle finger of his right hand suddenly emitted a faint light and flashed rapidly.

"You're so fast, is there something urgent?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly and rubbed them slightly. Strands of bright blue light burst out, and everything in front of him began to collapse, gradually turning into a dark hall with iron thrones neatly arranged on both sides.

"Everyone should have heard about the battle on Frost Star in the Meteoric Flame Galaxy." Blackbeard raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Is it worth gathering everyone for such a small matter?"

"It's surprising that Qinglong can create S-level mechanical bodies, but it shouldn't cause such a big reaction."

"S-class mechanical body?" There was a burst of noise in the hall. Many people had not yet heard the news.

"The Desire Witch of the Sisterhood of the Order of the Sisters has been lurking beside Li Ming four months ago, intending to steal his seeds." The person who spoke ignored him and continued:
"The defeat was not surprising, but the problem was that her gene-seed was degraded."

After the words fell, the hall fell silent. Blackbeard's heart trembled, "What do you mean by degeneration..."

"Degradation, that's exactly what it means. Her development progress has declined by at least 3%." The other person's voice was indistinguishable as to whether she was a man or a woman. "It seems she will continue to degrade. I don't know where the end is, and I don't know if she can recover."

"Progress in gene-seed development is slowing down..."

Everyone was silent. If evolution is what every living thing desires, then degeneration naturally comes from the fear deep in the cells.

Blackbeard also fell silent, thinking of the guess he had made. Was it because he had already used some tricks on the Witch of Desire that he let her go?
Use this as a threat to negotiate with the Sisterhood?

Letting the gene seed degenerate...even he found it incredible and terrifying.

"It is suspected to be some kind of genetic virus. The source of infection is unknown, the time of infection is unknown, and the duration of action is also unknown."

The hall was silent and the unknown was frightening.

"This mad scientist deserves to be killed. What is this biomechanic studying all day long!" Someone said angrily.

Biomechanics are a subcategory of mechanics. They believe that pure mechanical creations always have their limits, and that combining them with living things is the right path forward.

They often create some weird things, which are not at a high level of life, but are extremely threatening.

Blackbeard was immediately dissatisfied: "How does it bother you that they are researching self-defense methods? How can they use it on you?"

"If you ask me, it's time to accept him. He has the means and the strength. I asked him to cooperate with the plan, and he didn't say a word."

"He's too mysterious." Some people still disagreed. "We can't even find him, so who knows who sent him? And he has no checks and balances or weaknesses, so who would dare to use him with confidence?"

"Isn't he very nice to Li Ming? Li Ming has always been active in the open."

"That's the problem. If you're so kind to your students, why don't you hide him away and focus on developing gene seeds? Instead, you let him start a business?" "The Sisterhood has foolishly taken the bait, and Reina has also fallen for it. I don't know who will be next."

"The latest news is that he has passed on a message that he is willing to return Reina. It seems that he is not willing to provoke the Xingyuan Empire on the surface."

"He does have some means, but there's no need to over-analyze it. Since he's hiding in the dark, it must be because he's still wary and afraid..."

There was a lot of noise and everyone expressed their own opinions.

"Let's vote." Ulysses, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "How many people are in favor of letting him attend the meeting?"

The noisy sounds died down slightly, and lights appeared on the Iron Throne, with only five or six lights scattered around.

Blackbeard shook his head, and Ulysses said indifferently, "We'll discuss his affairs later. He is not a threat to us, and he is also actively cooperating with the plan. That's enough for now."

"How is the preparation for the Forging Hammer Project going?"

"This has been underway for four or five years. It's already begun brewing, and will soon sweep across the interstellar space." Someone responded in a deep voice.

Someone said quietly, "This is just the beginning. Be prepared. Things are about to change."

…………

"You are really hardworking. I haven't seen you come out since you got on the boat."

On this day, Robin rarely saw Li Ming coming out of the room, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I have nothing to do. I'm used to it." Li Ming said casually, glanced at him, and suddenly asked:

"By the way, I remember that day when you learned that Fushi was from the Sisterhood, your reaction was quite strong."

"Huh?" Robin was stunned and couldn't help but think of that day. It was already like that, how could you still notice any expression on my face?

Li Ming was curious: "Did they attack you too?"

Robin's face flickered, a little dark, and he said dully: "Yeah."

"That was five or six years ago. I come from a small civilization near the Federation. Our civilization values ​​martial arts, and every three years there is a martial arts competition involving the entire civilization."

"I was a rookie at the time, and I fought all the way to the end and won the C-level life form championship."

"Then they targeted me. They sent a girl named Iris... to approach me."

Li Ming looked strange. Could this guy have fallen in love with that woman? Tsk… People from the Virgin Mary sect seem to…

"Yuan'er is different!" Robin's voice became deeper, as if he noticed Li Ming's strange look.

"That was her first mission after she was accepted into the Sisterhood..."

Robin talked a lot and Li Ming did not interrupt him. He just listened and roughly understood what he said.

After going through a series of things, the girl seemed to fall in love with him, and finally died to save him, becoming the white moonlight in Robin's heart.

"She doesn't want my descendants to become tools of the Sisterhood." Robin clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot.

Li Ming sighed, and then asked: "Did she tell you any special clues about the Sisterhood?"

Robin calmed down and said hesitantly, "Our civilization has limited technology and can only detect the fifteenth level of development potential at most. I have it full.

"In the beginning, the Sisterhood was extremely curious about my true potential, and even some important figures showed special interest..."

"But she took some blood from me, and after the test was clear, the attention dropped a lot. Yuan'er heard them sighing, it would be fine if it was level 40."

"Level 40?" Li Ming's heart moved slightly. The Sisterhood needed seeds with development potential of at least level 40 to meet their unknown requirements.

"When I have the ability, I will definitely wipe out this organization." Robin gritted his teeth, this was the hatred that came from the bottom of his heart.

Li Ming patted his shoulder. At this moment, the hull shook and a voice came from the radio that they were connected to the Barbarian Bear Hub, which was the stargate hub closest to the Meteorite Flame Galaxy.

"Serial number, *******" Li Ming reported a series of numbers.

"Hello, respected guest of the royal court, you are being led to a special channel. Please choose a jump location for space coating." The voice of the broadcast became much softer.

In the past two months, Sandro has established a good relationship with the controller of this stargate hub, and their people can pass through it through a fast lane.

After another ten-day journey, Li Ming returned to the Twin Peaks node. It was still magnificent and stunning.

"Serial number: *********"

Li Ming reported another number, and after the management system recognized it, it quickly responded: "Dear guest, you are being directed to the VIP channel."

Robin looked on with envy, he had never been treated like this before. Every time he had to queue for seven or eight hours before he could enter the Twin Peaks.

This is the value of connections. Even if he becomes an A-level life, he will not receive such treatment.

It was similar to last time, also an exclusive shuttle bus, but Li Ming did not let the service staff get on the bus, so there were only three of them.

"To enter the dimensional world, is it necessary to 'travel through boundary landmarks'?" Li Ming pondered.

"Yes, the dimensional world is complicated. The shuttle boundary marker is the star map of the dimensional experiment." Robin explained: "It also requires a dimensional jump spacecraft. These things are not easy to make. Only a limited number of forces have them."

It’s no wonder that Li Ming doesn’t understand.

The knowledge in the interstellar space is varied and numerous, like the stars in the vast ocean. If it is not needed, some of this knowledge will never be accessible in your lifetime.

"I understand." Li Ming nodded.
After that, the shuttle came to an abrupt stop. Robin was stunned and looked out the window in some surprise.

Li Ming was not surprised and opened the door naturally. As expected, the strong wind rushed in immediately, accompanied by Austin's unique voice, "Oh, my dear little friend, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Robin's pupils dilated and his throat rolled as he looked at the big red spaceship outside the shuttle and the life form covered in a red cloak.

"The Red Robe Wizard, Austin!"

"Sir Austin." Li Ming smiled. Tan Wei and Lei Ting moved clangingly behind him and came to Austin's spaceship together.

When handing over an S-level life form to the people of the Xingyuan Empire at the Twin Peaks, it is natural to inform the controller to avoid causing trouble.

Austin laughed exaggeratedly, covered his mouth, and tapped the tank with his knuckles, "...There is an S-class life form in here..."

In places that could not be seen, dense transparent runes poured into the metal of Tanwei and quickly returned. There was unspeakable surprise and fear in his eyes.

Terra Alloy, Eternal Star Stone... these are all extremely hard materials. This thing actually has technology similar to Rune Technology, which I can't even understand. Qinglong has learned too many things.

　I basically don't update frequently, and I know that myself, and I usually feel embarrassed to ask for monthly votes.

　　But I still ask for your support at the beginning of the month. Thank you all the bosses.
