This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 36 Gains and Impact

After making sure there was nothing else in the room, he destroyed the hole made by the sniper rifle.

He went to the first floor again and found the bullet embedded in the ground. It had created a deep hole as big as a bowl. He took out the shrapnel in the center, held it in his hand and absorbed it, which also gave him more than ten points of metal energy.

With the help of enhanced assassination techniques, various other traces were further destroyed.

The robotic arm holding Zhang Hu in his hand was obviously modified, with an empty syringe inside, which should be some kind of injection drug used to stimulate genetic mutation.

After carefully reviewing and making sure that nothing was missed, Li Ming left through the window.

He found a remote abandoned building and, in the dim moonlight, looked at the safe in his hand. It was silver-white, extremely heavy, and about half a meter high.

There are three ways to unlock the LCD panel: fingerprint, pupil pattern, and gene.

"This kind of safe should have a self-sale setting. If the password is wrong, the contents will be destroyed." Li Ming estimated.

He didn't know the combination, but that wasn't a problem. With his current absorption rate, it only took him half an hour to rust through the right edge of the safe.

When the cover was opened, a faint purple light came towards me.

"Amethyst?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows and picked up a long and thin purple crystal. It was cold all over. It was an interstellar precious metal with a public price.

Each gram - 1500 star coins.

There is a 10 mark on this small piece, which should weigh 10 grams. There are ten pieces on the first layer of the safe.

The total is 150,000 star coins.

Li Ming's breathing became a little faster. The value of interstellar precious metals is strong. Instead of depositing the money in the black hole network to be ripped off, it is better to turn it into interstellar precious metals.

Zhang Hu had only been rising for a few years, but he had already amassed all this wealth. No wonder he had become so famous.

Maybe he still has some balance in his black hole network, but that one-time instantaneous energy barrier is expensive, and it cannot be bought through regular channels, with a very high premium.

After trying, Li Ming confirmed that these purple crystals could still be absorbed by him and transformed into metal energy.

"In this case, maybe there is no need to take action."

He certainly couldn't sell this thing through regular channels, only through the Black Hole Network, and the purchase price of the Black Hole Network was 40% lower than the market price.

Even if the market price is higher than the purchase price, the Black Hole Network is too dark.

Their logic is very simple. Since you have made the transaction through us, it must not be made public and we will definitely make a lot of money from it.

Li Ming absorbed and summarized at the same time. The second layer of the safe contained a blue magnetic card and five tubes of F-level development potions.

He had originally planned to borrow some more money from Li Ning to buy a few more tubes, but now that is not the case.

“This thing is…”

Li Ming picked it up and examined it carefully. There was no mark on this magnetic card, so it should be used for verification somewhere.

Since Zhang Hu put it away carefully, it should be useful, so let's put it away for now.

Carrying the safe and the purple crystal inside, he stepped into the sewer. With his current strength, he could continue on his journey with these things in his arms without any burden.

On the way, he could still absorb the safe, but when he got home, the safe had disappeared, the purple crystal was gone, and even the metal prosthesis disappeared.

"One purple crystal is about 160 points, ten of them is 1600 points, plus the points from absorbing the safe..."

While Li Ming was dealing with his clothes, he was thinking about it. His metal energy, which had been dried up, was replenished again and even reached a new height.

1725 points. Looking at this number, Li Ming was satisfied. The gene detection device could be upgraded, and the development speed could be increased to a higher level.

After taking a look, I found that many things on my body can be upgraded, such as the smart terminal and explosion-proof shield.

However, there is no urgent need at the moment, so there is no need to rush.

Glancing at the control bar, if I want to upgrade the four-arm machine tool again, I need 5300 points, and the heavy sniper rifle requires an astonishing 8000 points.

……

It was still dark and the rain was gradually stopping. Li Ming wanted to take this time to rest, but before he could even close his eyes, he was woken up by Xiao Huang.

It was Li Ning who came and waited at the door with a hurried look on his face. When he saw Li Ming coming out, he pulled him out.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even washed up yet."

Li Ning was in a hurry: "Don't wash it, something serious has happened. Captain Yang was very angry when he couldn't contact you at four or five o'clock."

"I muted it. I usually muted it when I sleep." Li Ming explained. Li Ning was helpless: "Brother, we are city guards, how can we mute it?"

The shuttle-shaped aircraft had already stopped outside. Li Ning pushed Li Ming up and started it quickly.

"No, what's the hurry?" Li Ming asked puzzledly.

"Master, there's a big commotion outside, but you don't know anything." Li Ning was helpless and said in a deep voice: "Last night, Scarface Tiger's lair was destroyed. Nearly twenty people died, including Scarface Tiger himself. It was a tragic scene."

"What?" Li Ming pretended to be shocked: "Who did it? It's so cruel."

"I want to know too. Everyone wants to know. The person who did this must be a ruthless person," said Li Ning.

Li Ning was obviously very anxious and pushed the car as fast as possible.

When landing, Li Ming saw that the old house had been surrounded by three layers of walls, and there were people everywhere, all busy.

He saw many familiar faces, including Yang Peng, Zhao Xiong, Wang Zhiheng, Zuo Ling... The four team leaders were all there, and there were no less than a hundred people working on site.

Their arrival was quite conspicuous. Yang Peng came up to them, frowned, and said loudly: "From now on, no matter what time it is, I must be able to contact you!"

If he starts cursing first, others won't be able to find any fault with him.

"Understood." Li Ming nodded, and Yang Peng waved his hand, signaling them to clean up the scene.

"The hard drive has been soaked in water overnight. It is basically completely damaged and the possibility of repair is not high." Several technicians held the hard drive that was broken in half and shook their heads helplessly: "It's useless to repair it. Turn it off first and then unplug it. Are you so cautious..."

"The surveillance camera under the eaves has a damaged line. This should be a test to see how this group of people react. If it's too intense, he won't act rashly. He has a lot of experience." Wang Zhiheng rubbed his chin and speculated with a few people. Someone next to him sneered:
"A bunch of rabble, probably thought the damage to the surveillance camera was caused by the rain."

Bodies covered with white sheets were carried out one after another. Colleagues from the on-site inspection department were busy taking photos and sighed: "One strike killed them, fast, accurate and ruthless... They had no ability to resist, they were completely crushed."

Yang Peng stood at the stairs and looked up. "There are absolutely no signs of fighting on the first floor, nor on the second floor. He cleaned up the rubbish one by one before attacking Zhang Hu. He was very patient."

"But something blew down." Zuo Ling squatted in front of the big pit on the first floor, then looked up at the big hole in the ceiling.

"There is a big hole on his chest and his mechanical arm has been removed. It is similar to the way Pang Wenlong died." Zhao Xiong walked down with a gloomy look. "In addition, there are signs of genetic abnormalities on Zhang Hu's body."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Zhiheng who was checking the corpse, Yang Peng who was standing at the stairs, and Zuo Ling who was squatting on the ground, all looked at him at the same time.

"Can't even defeat the genetic mutation? E-level?" Wang Zhiheng spoke first, his expression more serious than ever before.
