This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 412 Sheffield's speculation upgrade [Magnetic Crystal Heavy Domain]

"Its data is the best in every aspect, at least three times that of regular S-level gene seeds." Monica explained to him, with a data chart next to it containing a series of complex data.

At the S-level, there are great changes. No longer can one only use the energy brought by the gene seed, the body can self-synthesize most of the basic energy, and even advanced energy.

For example...the Star-Swallowing Prison Dragon's energy synthesis conversion efficiency is around 95%, while the normal one is only 30%, and the slightly more powerful one is only 60%.

"As for the various abilities, you will need to experience them yourself." Monica nodded and stepped back.

Sheffield's eyes fell on Li Ming, with an unspeakable meaning, and he spoke at the right time, saying:
"There is one thing I need to explain in advance. Although the gene seed has been prepared, in order to save time, I have omitted some auxiliary stabilizing substances."

"If you are willing to wait a few more months, it should be even more perfect."

"Auxiliary stabilizing substance?" Li Ming looked up.

"Not bad." Sheffield nodded. "Because Lord Qinglong asked me to prepare it as soon as possible, this version came out."

Li Ming frowned slightly. He only had a slight understanding of the modulation of gene seeds, but was not very clear about the specific details, so he asked carefully.

Sheffield patiently explained, "A qualified gene seed must contain the 'main seed', which is the gene seed itself. This is an abstract concept, just a proxy for the seed. In fact, it is a gene fragment that has been deconstructed to the extreme."

"Fusion promoter. When the gene seed enters the blood of a living being, the promoter will take effect, allowing the gene seed to fuse with the deep genes of the living being."

"At this time, the integration of stable substances plays an important role, especially at this level of life. The genes in the body are complex and will be distorted if you are not careful."

"The second thing is nutrients. A large amount of nutrients are consumed during the fusion process. This is a leap in the level of life, and it is difficult for the fused life form to sustain it alone."

"Of these four basic composite substances, stable substances and nutrients can be eliminated." Sheffield narrated slowly, "But during the fusion process, except for some special life forms, it is difficult for most life forms to efficiently synthesize the necessary nutrients themselves."

"Therefore, nutrients have a higher priority than stable substances, because distortion is probabilistic, and if the life form itself is strong enough, it can also reduce the probability of distortion."

"In addition to the main seed, stabilizing substances are precisely the most time-consuming and labor-intensive. They require perfect containment and balance while not damaging the effectiveness of the gene seed."

Li Ming nodded thoughtfully. Sheffield’s explanation was quite detailed and easy to understand, and the other three basic substances were not missing.

This means that as long as he can curb the risk of genetic distortion, it doesn’t matter whether there are stable substances or not.

That's perfect. With the added defense, the body's strength increases hundreds of times, which is much stronger than that stable substance.

"Defense enhancement can replace stabilizing substances, which will save a lot of time when we prepare gene seeds next time."

Li Ming had an estimate in mind and said, "There is no need to add any more stabilizing substances."

Sheffield was not surprised. This was only an S-grade gene seed, and there were other means to curb the risk of deformation.

"I would like to thank you on behalf of my teacher. Since the gene seed has been prepared, I will not bother you too much." Li Ming covered the gene seed, held it in his hand, and prepared to leave.

Sheffield’s performance just now made Li Ming feel uneasy, and he wanted to leave more and more eagerly, also to avoid other variables.

"In such a hurry?" Sheffield's eyes flickered, and he stood up in surprise. "Why don't you stay a few more days?"

"No, I have something else to do." Li Ming declined politely, and Sheffield gestured to Monica to see him off.

Li Ming tried to refuse, but he had no choice but to agree.

Watching the two people leave, Sheffield rubbed his fingertips, his eyes changing deeply.

About ten minutes later, the door was opened again, and Monica walked in and whispered, "Father, the person is gone."

Sheffield nodded and asked meaningfully, "What do you think of Li Ming?"

Monica thought, "He is very goal-oriented and can endure boredom. He has been developing gene seeds all this time and has never stopped."

"If you were to marry him, would you be willing?"

Sheffield's deep voice made Monica a little stunned. Then she frowned, as if she was lost in thought. She nodded hesitantly, but then shook her head.

"What do you mean?" This time it was Sheffield's turn who didn't quite understand.

Monica raised her head slightly, as if a little stubborn, "He is indeed an excellent marriage partner, but father, I also told you that I will not be weaker than anyone."

"His development potential is level 60, but mine is not lower."

"You may agree, but others may not." Sheffield laughed, but then said with emotion: "With a master craftsman protecting him, within a thousand years, he will surely become a great figure that shakes the galaxy."

"Perhaps, it has the ability to evolve into an ultimate life form. In our civilization, no ultimate life form has been born yet."

Monica frowned slightly. "The lack of an Ultimate Life Form is not because of insufficient development potential. As long as an Ultimate Star Beast appears, someone will surely be able to evolve immediately."

"Li Ming..." She was a little puzzled. She always felt that her father seemed to attach too much importance to Li Ming.

Sheffield did not argue too much with his daughter. He smiled and said, "Guess, is this S-level gene seed needed by Li Ming or his teacher?"

Monica thought about it. "It is rumored that Azure Dragon's development potential is terribly low, and it has always resisted mechanical transformation."

"Although it's not very credible, it shouldn't be groundless. I estimate that the life level of Azure Dragon itself should not exceed S level. There is a certain probability that it is A level."

"Li Ming has amazing potential, but after all, he has only been an A-level life form for a short time..." She thought about it, but shook her head, a little confused.

"No, if both of them need it, there is no need to give us a copy of the Star Devouring Hell Dragon gene seed for free. At most, we will have to pay a higher price."

Looking at his daughter's methodical analysis, Sheffield nodded with satisfaction and said leisurely, "Guess how much progress Li Ming has made in development?"

"Based on his development potential, the theoretical estimate is that it should be around 10% to 15%. Considering how hard he works, it can be at most 15%." Monica estimated.

"No less than 60%." Sheffield's meaning was unclear.

“60%?” Monica stood there in a daze, with a look of shock on her pretty face. She couldn’t help but ask, “It’s still the lowest. How…how is this possible?”

"Yeah, how is that possible?" Sheffield also said, "His information state converged perfectly, but I still detected some life characteristics."

"His A-level gene seed is purple blood and green mane. I smell the strong scent of wild blood. Only when the development progress exceeds 60% can the special ability be awakened - "Green Mane and Wild Blood", which temporarily stimulates the body's potential."

"Also, his brain is extremely active, and he seems to have developed mental power." "This...he..." Monica was still surprised, "Could it be that his development potential is actually higher? More than level 60."

"I don't know either. I'm also very curious." Sheffield's pupils suddenly turned green, and a cold aura filled the air.

Monica's head felt a little dizzy, and she said quickly, "Father, there is also His Excellency Qinglong."

"So, I didn't do anything." Sheffield returned to normal and glanced at her indifferently.

Monica let out a breath, and suddenly thought of a guess. Her face changed slightly, and she blurted out, "Could it be that he is about to develop to 100%, so he is so eager to take away this gene seed?"

"100%...unlikely." Sheffield shook his head. "He's so anxious because he's probably afraid that I'll know the origin of the Star Devouring Prison Dragon."

"Then..." Monica hesitated, "If you are so straightforward, why don't you wait until you find out the source of the Star Devouring Hell Dragon and weigh the pros and cons before making any plans?"

Sheffield smiled, "It's just an S-level gene seed. It won't change anything. An X-level gene seed is about the same."

"The source of the Star Devouring Prison Dragon is just a little troublesome to me. Besides, why is it stopped halfway through selling? Let's wait and see. I guess there will be a big show soon."

Monica nodded somewhat bewilderedly.

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

.........

"I always feel that Sheffield has bad intentions."

Standing in front of the porthole, Li Ming's mind appeared that pair of green pupils, as if they almost saw through him, filled with greed and desire.

He clenched his fists silently, and was extremely alert.

The Flowing Shadow was sinking into the star gate, and its pupils reflected the constantly swirling spatial energy, which was almost boundless and extended to the end of its vision, but was restrained by a special force.

The warship was almost relatively still. Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the scenery outside remained unchanged.

Sheffield did not attack him, and he was really afraid that at the last moment, Sheffield would suddenly appear and not let him leave.

It seems that the other party is still concerned about Qinglong.

"Where are we going next? Back to the Mechanical Royal Court?" Robin and Ford were unaware of his presence and were just curious about the next destination.

"Don't go back for now, just hang around first." Li Ming said simply, and ignored the strange looks from Robin and Ford, and went straight back to the room.

The Mechanical Royal Court is a target. Although it belongs to Li Ming’s property, it is nothing to the God Craftsman.

No one thought that destroying the Mechanical Royal Court would cause substantial harm to Qinglong, but Ryan was a little crazy, so it was hard to say.

Just in case, he didn't plan to go back for the time being. He also notified Ulrich and others to leave the royal court temporarily.

“Next, I will not show up again unless I become an S-level life form.” Li Ming activated the [Magnetic Crystal Heavy Domain] and directly pulled it down a thousand times.

But he didn't know whether he had adapted to it or what, but he always felt that the development rate had slowed down.

When he reached this level, a thousand times the natural gravity had no effect on him, as he discovered some time ago.

"There is one last piece of Terrax Stone, let's use it." Li Ming pondered, developing gene seeds is the top priority, [Magnetic Crystal Heavy Domain] is a long-term investment.

There is no need to hesitate, just upgrade directly, consuming 100 million metal energies.

In front of Li Ming's eyes, the original crystal column-shaped magnetic crystal domain underwent drastic changes. The metal structure seemed to have self-awareness, constantly extending and stretching.

Every fitting point was flashing with dazzling light, becoming longer and longer, and forming an umbrella-like structure on the top.

[Magnetic Crystal Heavy Field--S Level: Specially designed gravity field blockade training equipment.

Control Effect: [Super Energy Crystal Domain], [Development Stance]

Control ability - Gravity field adjustment: can form a gravity blockade area of ​​100 square meters in any area within sight, and can increase the normal gravity by up to 10,000 times. 】

[Super Energy Magnetic Crystal: Within the blocked range, the cost of all individual activities increases by 25%. ]

[Development stance: Within the gravity coverage area, development efficiency increases by 10%, and materialization can also play a role, which cannot be superimposed. ]

Hmm? The purpose of the effect has changed?
Li Ming was very surprised, he originally used this thing to confine people, but later it became a "development room". He did not expect that the ability derived from this upgrade would also move in this direction.

Although this [Development Stance] can only increase efficiency by 10%, it does not occupy the control bar.

"This increase in development efficiency, won't it be an overall increase?" Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and he increased the gravity to nearly two thousand times, and then hurriedly tried it, and the surface of his skin was filled with various colors.

Sure enough, he felt that the activity level of cells had been raised to a higher level, with significant effects.

"It really works on the whole." Li Ming was in a good mood. This was an unexpected surprise.

In this way, the time required to reach 100% development progress will be further shortened.

"However, the Terrax Stone has also been used up. Although the main combat system has been upgraded, other things cannot be ignored. I have been busy with evolution recently and have no energy to pay attention to the Terrax Stone..."

Li Ming was helpless. He had limited energy. If he focused on this matter, he would inevitably neglect another matter. He could only pick the important ones first.

.........

The Mechanical Royal Court has become increasingly prosperous in the past six months, with transport spacecraft coming and going constantly, and the coverage area has expanded a lot.

After focusing on the business in the Chaos Star Gap, even after the period of rapid growth, the Mechanical Royal Court is still expanding slowly and steadily.

"Sir, this is a ban from the Kaila civilization. A batch of our goods has been seized by them, and they have ordered us to pay a fine within a limited time..."

Ulrich frowned and took the smart terminal handed to him by his assistant. On it was a red document:
"Kaila civilization? Haven't we already retracted our tentacles outside?"

The assistant was a Barron, dark-skinned, with three vertical eyes, and was old-fashioned, but extremely efficient.
"This is the business we took on half a year ago. This is the last batch of goods. The original transportation channel was closed due to the space storm. This time, they seized the goods when they passed through Kaila."
