This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 339: Showdown Butler's Helplessness

"The Great Crusade should be about the suppression of the Sisters..." Li Ming found some news from the Black Hole Network. "As for the heavy losses suffered by the Xingyuan Empire..."

"The infiltration of the Sisterhood of the Cult must have been quite serious at that time. The organization was almost hanged, and the Xingyuan Empire must have paid a heavy price..."

"Lost things?" Li Ming searched but found no relevant clues. Only a few reports mentioned it sporadically.

But the Great Expedition triggered another extremely important event that attracted widespread attention.

"…The Great Crusade is widely considered to be a landmark event for the Xingyuan Empire to enter a three-way balance of power between the upper and lower houses and the royal family…"

This is a record from a certain civilization history textbook.

Before the events of the Great Crusade, the royal family's authority had always been superior to that of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, although this was also in decline.

But the House of Commons and the House of Lords needed to join forces to fight against the royal family. However, after the Great Crusade, the royal authority quickly weakened until it became a three-way standoff.

After all, the Holy Emperor of Glory was supported to the throne by the Sisterhood, and when they later cut ties, they must have suffered heavy losses.

The House of Commons and the House of Lords took the opportunity to weaken the royal authority. Li Ming could probably guess some of the inside story. As for the lost items...

"The Sisterhood, the Hammersmith, the lost things..." Li Ming pondered. He was not sure whether it was groundless or not. He wanted to ask Blackbeard, but the other party did not respond immediately.

As for the Sisterhood, Fusi was released and there was no reaction from the other side.

I can't really abandon Fusi, after all, she is an S-level life form.

He shook his head, organized the clues in his hand, sorted them out, and memorized them.

After Robin put down his things, he couldn't wait to go to the Yeyue Laboratory.

"This is a good opportunity. You can take this opportunity to leave. Staying with Li Ming is not a good choice." The butler was still persuading, and this was not the first time.

His system analyzed that the risk of being exposed was quite high if he followed Li Ming.

"Leaving? That's not good..." Robin hesitated, "I ate, drank, wore, and took away a lot of good things. Are you just leaving like this?"

"There will be a chance to repay you in the future. You have given him the coordinates, so he can go to the dimensional world by himself." said the butler.

Robin was in a dilemma. The butler had been with him for decades, so naturally he was doing it for his own good. He could only say:

"Let's talk about it after I become an A-level life form. Yeyue Biological Company likes to pick on the weak. I was planning to let Li Ming go with me."

The butler wanted to say more, but was arrested.

"Li Ming, if you have nothing to do, can you come with me to Yeyue Laboratory?" Robin found Li Ming and looked a little embarrassed and said, "If you have something to do, I can go by myself."

"That's no problem. The people from Xingyuan Empire won't arrive until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so they are free now." Li Ming glanced at him and nodded.

Seeing Li Ming agree so easily, Robin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The two of them left as soon as they said they would. Lei Ting and Tan Wei stayed in the room temporarily and took the VIP shuttle bus, speeding all the way, skipping the queue and waiting, and soon arrived at Yeyue Biological Company.

There were still people coming and going here, no different from the last time he came. Not long after he entered the hall, before he even reached the rest area, someone came to lead the way for them.

"Hello, Mr. Li Ming. You can go to the VIP lounge and wait. A dedicated business specialist will contact you."

It was a woman, wearing a business suit, a tight skirt, and smiling.

He did not use any camouflage and was detected by facial recognition as soon as he entered.

"I am here with this friend, he is here to get the A-grade gene seed." Li Ming pointed at Robin.

Robin was very upset. After all, he spent a lot of money on customization, so why didn't he enter his facial features?

"Is that so? It's the same. Please follow me. Someone will receive your friend." The other party was still humble and took the two of them to the elevator and came to the VIP lounge.

Soon, someone came to greet them.

"It's you." Li Ming was surprised, looking at the female lizard in front of him. It was she who received him last time. His name seemed to be... Emma?
"Sir Li Ming..." Emma smiled with an elegant posture. Even though their aesthetic tastes were different, Li Ming did not think that the other person's scaly cheeks were ugly.

"Sir Robin..." Emma looked at Robin again, with a strange flash in her green pupils.

Of course she knew Robin, and she also knew that the tube of gene seeds she gave to Li Ming more than three months ago was originally intended for Robin.

How did these two people get together?
Robin had a sour face, and it was obvious that he had no good impression of this group of people. He said bluntly: "Where is my gene seed?"

"Please follow me..." Emma didn't care and took Robin to the safe. Only after getting the gene seed did Robin's expression ease slightly.

"Sir, we have a professional gene fusion monitoring room here. If you need it, we can arrange it for you." Emma smiled and said, "It is divided into three levels from high to low. The quotes are 20 million, 50 million, and 100 million respectively."

"Of course I do." Robin said bluntly. Yeyue Laboratory had lost a lot of money, and he was now considered wealthy.

However, Li Ming interrupted and said, "I remember that the last time you gave it to me, I didn't use it, right?"

Give away?
Robin glared and became more and more unhappy with Yeyue Company. He even ignored that Li Ming also customized his gene seeds here, or did not think much about it.

Emma's eyes moved slightly, and she understood what Li Ming meant. She lowered her head and said, "Yes, you can give it to Mr. Robin."

"Then give it to him." Li Ming said casually.

Robin looked at Emma fiercely with an unfriendly look, then turned to Li Ming and said, "Thanks, buddy."

Robin really felt that Li Ming was a very good person. He had been eating and living at his place for some time and had gained a lot of benefits.

Amber's pink tongue moved Robin in and out, and soon he brought Robin to the special gene seed integration monitoring room. In the closed space, there were various sophisticated instruments on display, and there were at least twenty or thirty medical staff.

In the glass jar in the corner, green liquid kept bubbling.

"What level of monitoring room is this?" Robin asked. The fusion of gene seeds was related to life safety, so he was very cautious about it.

"The top-level one is not included in the quotation sequence and is only open to some special customers." Emma responded.

Robin's face darkened again, but he felt a lot more at ease. He just felt a little uneasy about Li Ming, after all, he had gotten too many benefits.

It's so ungrateful to leave without saying goodbye. After all, the butler is an intelligent system... He can only analyze the pros and cons. He shook his head secretly.

The gene seeds are handed over to medical personnel, who inject them into special propellers and integrate them into the living body in a gentler and slower way that does not damage the gene seeds.

Robin confidently handed the bag in his hand to Li Ming, asking him to look after it, and then lay down on the bed, and specifically warned him: "Brother, if I die, it must be these guys who did it."

Emma just smiled, left here with Li Ming, and walked into the observation room next to it.

Robin had many tubes inserted into his body, including his spine, the aorta in his neck, the aorta in his legs, and even his heart. The tubes, which were as thick as a thumb, were connected to high-concentration cell repair agents.

Soon, as the gene seed advanced, Robin's body was enveloped by exploding energy waves, accompanied by waves of wailing.

Li Ming watched quietly. Emma next to him looked hesitant and said hesitantly: "We didn't know about your relationship before, and we were not trying to sow discord." She was afraid that Li Ming and this Robin had known each other for a long time, and thought that their company deliberately intercepted Robin's gene seed and gave it to him.

"I know." Li Ming nodded and said calmly, "You go out first."

Emma nodded and hurriedly closed the door when she left. Li Ming flicked his fingertips slightly, and a metal coin spun and fell on the table behind him.

Immediately afterwards, a twisted state burst out and enveloped him. His eyes flickered. He took out the purple-gold skull from Robin's bag, held it horizontally in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully.

After a long moment, he tentatively called out, "Butler?"

Suddenly, green flames lit up in the skull's pupils, and a voice rang out: "Hello, Mr. Li Ming."

"I have a question for you." Li Ming smiled.

"Please speak." The butler said gently.

"I want to know everything about Terrax." Li Ming said.

In an instant, the green flames in his pupils rose, and the butler fell into a long silence, and Li Ming did not disturb him.

"You...Qinglong, did you figure it out?" The butler's voice remained unchanged.

"You can think so." Li Ming did not comment.

"I have already reminded Robin that he should leave there." The butler said helplessly.

"Ha..." Li Ming sneered, "Do you think I will snatch you away? Or force him to do something for me?"

"If you wanted to do it, you would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"

The butler was puzzled, "Then you...now."

"I just want to know about Terrax. People like you are rare." Li Ming said meaningfully.

"We?" The green flame in the skull became even more intense, and there was even astonishment in the tone: "You... you know?"

"What do you think?" Li Ming said calmly, "Your presence only represents a possibility, a qualification."

"Whether it is good or bad is still unknown. Given its development potential, it will certainly receive strong support from some civilizations."

The butler was silent. The system was running at high speed. He didn't show much emotion and responded quickly: "I can't answer your question."

Li Ming sighed: "My teacher wants to tear you apart."

"This is a permission issue. It's useless even if Qinglong dismantles me." The butler explained, "Most of the information can only be obtained by unlocking the permission. It is transmitted through high-dimensional information states."

"The level of authority is determined by Robin's life level."

Li Ming frowned slightly, not sure whether what the other party said was true or not, and continued: "I stopped the teacher from attacking you and Robin. He is a very good person, but I also promised to give him the answer he wanted."

The butler was speechless. Robin's licking really worked. He could only say, "At the moment, I can't answer you anything about Terrax civilization."

Terrax is a civilization?

Li Ming's eyes flashed slightly, and he was finally no longer completely ignorant of this name.

"Okay..." Li Ming said, "I have already promised my teacher that keeping you alive will be more useful than killing you. I hope you won't embarrass me in front of the teacher."

"Don't even think about running away. He has left a tracking method."

He used showdown and threats to prevent the Skull from suddenly disappearing with Robin one day. He couldn't keep an eye on Robin all the time.

This skull is not simple. Li Ming discovered it when he was fighting on Hantian Star before. Its power should not be underestimated.

There are just too many secrets, and Li Ming is not sure about the specific situation, so he wants to take precautions first.

"I understand." The butler analyzed the result. With the current ability, if the position is locked by Qinglong, there is indeed no way to escape.

"After he becomes a Class A life form, he should be able to unlock more information. At that time, I hope you will tell me everything you know." Li Ming said faintly.

"Okay." The butler agreed readily and said, "Please don't tell Robin about this for now. This involves certain procedures."

"Okay." Li Ming glanced at him.

It's easy to deal with this kind of intelligent system. Just make it think you are a threat enough.

Time passed minute by minute, and after waiting for seven or eight hours, the fusion process was finally completed.

There were many distortion phenomena during this period, but they were all under control. Needless to say, Yeyue Biological Company has made great achievements in this regard.

"Congratulations, you've become an A-level life form." Li Ming threw the bag to Robin.

Robin was emitting unstable energy fluctuations all over his body. He was currently testing various data and adapting to the changes after his life leap. He couldn't help but grin when he heard this.

After a quick inspection and making sure everything was alright, the two left Yeyue Biological Company.

When they returned to the hotel, Austin was already waiting for them. He asked his men to open the box on the table. Inside, three diamond-shaped crystals were neatly placed.

"This is the dimensional boundary marker. As for the shuttle, it's in my spaceship warehouse." Austin said concisely.

Robin was amazed at how efficient it was.

Li Ming picked up one of them, and a prompt popped up immediately -
[Dimensional Boundary Marker--Class B: It contains three hundred and forty-six dimensional coordinates.

Control conditions: 400,000 metal energy.

Control effect: Perception blessing--500%
Control ability - exploration: You can explore a certain dimensional world outside the barrier of the dimensional world you are currently in and learn about its general information. 】

[Exploration], this ability is just right for him who is about to enter the dimensional world.

One of the main dangers of the dimensional world is the unknown.

When it is upgraded to A-level, it should be even more powerful, and when it comes, it will not affect the operation of the base and business.

All the remaining metal materials were absorbed, and more than 20 million metal energies were squeezed out in case of emergency.

"Thank you, sir." Li Ming closed the box. Austin nodded, hinting at something, and sighed:
"These three dimensional landmarks come from the Multidimensional Research Institute, the Dimension Laboratory of the Yongyao Federation, and a certain dimensional explorer. They are all forces that conduct in-depth research on the dimensional world. It must be difficult for them to deliver them in such a short time..."

Li Ming looked at Austin and understood what he meant. "You've worked hard, too. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best."

"Don't tell me, it's true." Austin was waiting for this sentence and couldn't help but sit up.

Seeing Li Ming pushing the box over, her cheek twitched and she explained, "Don't worry, it's not a big deal."
