This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 397 Blood Seed Alchemy Baron——Levenbeck (It’s the beginning of the month again, please give me a monthly ticket!)
After hearing what he said, the expressions of several people gradually eased, but then they heard Luo Chuan say, "But this is just to let others see what will happen if they want to use me."

"After all, it's just talk, no one believes it."

The others were still a little confused, but the next moment their faces changed drastically and they were dumbfounded.

Zhang Yuan let out a miserable wail and his body began to melt like a candle.

Luochuan killed someone! ?
They couldn't believe it, and pointed at Luo Chuan with trembling voices: "How dare you... How dare you..."

"There's nothing I dare not do. After all, according to what you said, with Li Ming here, who dares to touch me?"

"Let's see who dares to put their hand in." Luo Chuan's face was indifferent. He ignored the cries of several people and turned into liquid.

He casually pressed the button on the table, and the increasingly mature and slender Li Ruoning walked in on high heels. Seeing the liquid on the ground, her eyes trembled, and she said helplessly: "Director, are you going to do this so ruthlessly?"

"Send someone over to pack the bags, sort them into categories, put labels on them, and send them back to their respective families." Luo Chuan had already left, and only one sentence was heard.

Li Ruoning sighed and complained a few words in a low voice.

The elevator door closed, and photos of Li Ming at work or with experimenters were played in a loop on the screens on both sides.

Luo Chuan rubbed his brows, smiled bitterly, returned to the office, unbuttoned his clothes, pulled his tie, and walked to the wine cabinet.

He had already raised his hand, but suddenly turned around with a serious look on his face. His vigilant look gradually turned into astonishment, and then into joy.

Someone had sat down on the sofa at the back and was reading a magazine.

"Li Ming!?" Luo Chuan couldn't help shouting, and walked up quickly, "When did you come back?"

After stepping into the three-meter range, Li Ming looked up helplessly, energy ripples appearing on the surface of his body, "Senior Brother is still so cautious..."

"Haha..." Luo Chuan said, "I don't have any other way to verify it. If it was you, you definitely wouldn't do anything to me."

The two looked at each other and laughed. There was not much estrangement between them. They often contacted each other on the Internet.

Luo Chuan poured him a glass of wine and sat on one side, "Why didn't you tell me you were back?"

"Isn't this just to give you a surprise?" Li Ming said nothing more. He held the magazine in his hand and teased, "Brother, have you made this kind of fortune?"

This is a scientific research magazine produced by the laboratory, but there is not much content about scientific research. Instead, there are photos and deeds of Li Ming every few pages.

"Alas..." Luo Chuan said helplessly, "This is caused by the people below. I also told you, "When Lord Qinglong was still a star-casting mechanic, it was not so lively, but after becoming a master craftsman, all kinds of troubles followed."

"The teacher was erratic all day, leaving me to deal with it on my own. Some of them were indeed geniuses, while others were just trying to fish in troubled waters. I couldn't figure out which ones were good and which ones were bad, and I never got tired of it."

"Just confess them all at once and observe them for half a year. We have just dealt with a few of them, so it should be quiet for a while."

Li Ming didn't care about it. He put down the magazine and the two of them talked happily for a while.

"By the way, where is that bastard Yaluo? Did he leave with you?" Luo Chuan suddenly asked halfway through, looking a little nervous.

Yaluo had been missing for too long, and it was difficult for him to ask through the smart terminal.

"Senior Brother Yaluo." Li Ming's eyes were full of wonder. This senior brother was still staying on a remote planet. He had not forgotten that he might be of great use at some point in time.

"Don't worry, he's fine, he just can't contact the outside world for the time being." Li Ming said. After getting Li Ming's assurance, Luo Chuan relaxed a lot.

"Come, try the wine I brought specially." Li Ming took out two bottles of wine with demon-like creatures printed on the packaging. The liquid was bright red.

"Devil's Whisper, A-level life form, will get drunk if he drinks too much."

Luochuan's eyes suddenly lit up and his throat started to boil.

Having not seen each other for a long time, the two drank happily and talked a lot, both of them feeling sentimental, until five or six hours later.

Luo Chuan was drunk, lying on the sofa, still mumbling, "…What is a divine craftsman? It's too high, too big…I really envy you, the sea of ​​stars, you've just started…"

Li Ming was just a little drunk and couldn't help shaking his head.

He opened the window and a cold wind blew in his face. He looked down and raised his brows. The remains of the laboratory he had built in order to get free experimental funds were still there. The surrounding area had been fenced off and it seemed to have become a special viewing spot.

Feeling inexplicably amused and sighing for a while, Zhuque, who had been standing quietly beside the sofa, suddenly spoke up, "Master, I found the thing."

There was a gleam in Li Ming's eyes, and a guard walked out of his body. It was King Zhentian.

"You stay here and ensure his safety." Li Ming ordered.

King Zhentian nodded, and when he looked up again, there was no one in front of him.

……

It was a moonlit night with a strong wind. The Tros Canyon was the largest canyon on Jingnan Star. The deepest part of the basin was eight thousand meters deep and there was gushing magma everywhere.

However, even though the technological level of Blue Star is not very high, this place has become a check-in point that anyone with money can reach.

Only some dangerous caves are fenced off and entry is prohibited.

Under the cover of night, this place has been closed, with only the boiling magma gushing out wildly like a roaring fire dragon.

There are also some observation decks immersed in magma, made of high-temperature resistant materials, forming a relatively safe space.

The magma continued to roll and surge on the outer wall of the observation deck, with a strange light flashing on the surface, refracting the orange-red light of the magma into a blurred color.

"It's right inside..." Robin was standing outside a cave marked "Danger" with an ugly look on his face. The mechanical body behind him was watching over several figures who were obviously seriously injured, some even dead.

"That thing seemed to have some kind of detection ability. I was discovered when I got a little closer. There were people guarding nearby, so I had no choice but to severely injure them."

"They will definitely report regularly. These guys are very stubborn. I have interrogated them for half an hour and they still don't say a word."

Li Ming nodded and walked in front of the group of people. There was only one B-level life form. He was weak and barely able to breathe, but his eyes were still wide open.

Li Ming didn't say much to him, he just took out a metal helmet and put it on his head.

【Memory Screener-Class A】

This is a control object specially designed and manufactured by Li Ming for retrieving memories, and its ability is to screen memories.

Psychics are relatively rare, especially those who are loyal to themselves. He had no place to find them, so he developed this thing specifically for this purpose.

Along with a buzzing sound, this B-level life form let out a miserable wail, and soon there was no movement.

Robin swallowed his saliva, and Li Ming said, "Suzaku, search his memory and find the reporting password."

Suzaku had already connected to the metal helmet and found the reporting password in two or three seconds.

Reports are submitted every hour, and there are only twenty minutes left.

This thing can cause serious brain damage to living organisms. Roughly extracting memories can cause a person to become vegetative at best, or die on the spot at worst. Li Ming randomly found a mechanical body and gave him the communicator.

He followed Robin into the cave, turning left and right, and even had to cross a lava lake to reach the underground cave.

Li Ming saw the thing called blood seed, which looked more like an egg, with a deep and rich color, like solidified blood.

There are strange patterns on the surface, as if they have life, flickering with strange light, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

If you look closely, you will find that these lines are intertwined to form complex and exquisite patterns. Some of them resemble the paths of stars, and some look like the outlines of mysterious creatures.

"This thing doesn't have any energy reaction. Can it really destroy the planet?" Robin muttered.

Li Ming looked around and wanted to reach out and touch it, but stopped suddenly.

With the protection of the tank guarding him, he touched the vampire.

Ok?
His mind moved slightly, but he was able to control it?

[Blood Seed - Consumable: Created with great effort by Alchemist Baron Levenbeck.

Control conditions: 8 million metal energy
Control Ability - Hyperplasia: Expand the blood vines so that they can cover a planet within half an hour, and absorb all life energy and convert it into alchemical substances, which can slightly improve the progress of its own life development.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Note: Alchemical substances are highly dangerous and will contaminate genes, leading to a decline in lifespan, genetic distortion, and a blockage in the path of evolution. 】

Li Ming's pupils condensed slightly. These words revealed a lot of information.

This thing turned out to be a consumable control object, and the name of the maker seemed familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere.

And through the [Proliferation] ability, he speculated that the original ability of the Blood Seed should be the same, but it just acted as an energy storage device to store some kind of life substance.

"Forcefully improve the life level?" Li Ming pondered, vaguely guessing Ryan's purpose, "Ultimate life form? Or to improve the development progress?"

He learned about Ryan's development progress in detail and estimated based on the known information that it should not exceed 30%.

This progress is far from the ultimate life form.

Absorbing all life energy… He suddenly thought of the planetary massacre in the Sea of ​​Stars not long ago.

According to later investigations, the reason why the above life forms died was because they lost a large amount of life energy.

At the interstellar level, it is basically attributed to some kind of virus.

"Test site?" Li Ming speculated, and finally settled on a name on the control instructions, "Levin Baker."

He remembered that this guy seemed to be a student of the Hammer Forger.

But this student had a very low presence and barely appeared briefly in the official introduction of the Machinists Association, saying that he had died a violent death.

Because of its weak presence, Li Ming didn't have a particularly deep understanding of it.

But I didn't expect to see this name here.

This person also seemed to have faked his death and created the Seed of Blood.

"Alchemy Baron... can be used as a prefix on the control page, this should not be a simple title." Li Ming speculated.

"What did you see?" Robin asked curiously when he saw Li Ming remained silent.

Li Ming shook his head, released the tank guard, turned around and walked out, running into Ford who was rushing over and was just getting off the aircraft.

"What? What is this thing?" he asked impatiently.

"It's hard to say. The basic data has been collected. I'll let the teacher take a look." Li Ming didn't explain too much. He left a few mechanical bodies to act as passwords and report, and took the others back to the Sword Shadow.

Quickly open the Black Hole Network, search for the name Levenbaker, and a large number of pages pop up, pay, pay, and pay again.

There were more and more virtual pages floating around Li Ming, and it took him 500 million star coins to find some valuable information.

According to this information, Levenbaker was born in an ordinary civilization and had a not-so-good family.

However, he himself was not affected at all and continued to work diligently. By chance, he was met by the Hammer Master, who discovered that the Master had a high talent for mechanics and accepted him as his student.

There is not much to say about the development history, but later a lot of news revealed that Levenbeck actually had serious psychological problems and often abused and killed wild and even domestic animals.

"…Six hundred years after being accepted as a student by the Hammersmith, the Red River Star Stream rioted, and the remains of an ancient civilization surfaced, which seemed to be similar to mechanics…"

"…Many mechanics flocked to the company, but all returned empty-handed. Rumor has it that it was this Levenbeck who reaped the biggest benefits…"

"Ancient civilization...Alchemy Baron...Alchemy civilization?" Li Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, wanting to explore more information about this civilization, but the Black Hole Network did not provide any relevant information.

But a thousand years after being accepted as a disciple by the Master Hammersmith, this rising star's career came to an abrupt end.

Now Li Ming can only find the sentence "died a violent death", but it caused an uproar at the time. The biggest speculation that could not surface was that this Levenbeck might be related to the "Histra Massacre" incident at that time.

In the Histley civilization, there were 156 life planets and 120 billion life forms. All of them died suddenly in a very short period of time due to being infected by a special virus, and many biological experimental subjects were born.

"He was mentally twisted and had acquired alchemical technology. He launched a massacre to create something, but was discovered by the Master Forge Hammer, who tried to kill him. However, he survived because of some means, or because the Master Forge Hammer was reluctant to kill him." Li Ming speculated.

He had never come into contact with the hammer forger and was not sure of his personality. It was hard to say whether Levenbeck was too skilled or the hammer forger did not kill him.

"Now he is involved with Ryan." Li Ming guessed, and thought of Ford's words, frowned and said: "No, he has lived for so many years. In terms of level, even if he can't be on par with Ryan, he is not much different."

"How could he be dismissed at will by his subordinates? Either he is really incompetent now, or he is deliberately hiding his identity."

Li Ming was more inclined to the latter and couldn't help but let out a "tsk".

"Helping others to improve their strength? He probably doesn't have such a kind heart."

Li Ming remembered what was said on the control page, that alchemical substances were highly dangerous, had great side effects, and were more likely to block the path of evolution. He knew in his heart that this was another ambitious person.

"Things are becoming more and more complicated..." He couldn't help but frown and began to estimate the value of this news.

"Not many people know that Levenbaker is still alive. This guy is very secretive and I don't know what his strength is."

Li Ming kept searching for related derivative information for more than ten hours before he deeply imprinted the known information about Levenbeck in his mind.

It was not until Blackbeard's communication request interrupted his thoughts, his eyes flickered:

"I don't know if Blackbeard has found any information about Levenbaker."

　My dear parents who provide me with food and clothing, it’s the beginning of another month and I have to open my “shy” little mouth again to beg for monthly tickets and to get on the list.

　　Thank you!
