This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 60: Evolution of the Four-Arm Machine Tool - Armored Exoskeleton! (Next chapter, at noon)
"Reward?" Li Ming paused. "Why would there be a reward for me? At least it would only be for a captain like you to be rewarded, right?"

Yang Peng said anxiously, "A bounty has been offered for Tu Zheng and the other three again, and then a large number of city guards were also offered a bounty, and your bounty is higher than that of other people at the same level, 200,000 star coins!"

"You only have 100,000 star coins, how come I have 200,000?" Li Ming was even more confused.

"Not sure." Yang Peng urged again: "No matter where you are, come back quickly!"

"I understand. I'll go back right away." He didn't say much to Yang Peng and responded simply.

After opening the Black Hole Network and taking a look, I saw that a large number of bounties had indeed appeared, including those for Tu Zheng and several others. The bounties for other gang cadres had also increased a lot, to about 50%.

This should also be one of Qin Xiao's revenges, and Tu Zheng and others responded by offering a reward for another group of city guards.

Qin Xiao and Xingchuang Company are still restraining themselves and have not taken any action personally, but are only using external tactics.

As for why he was so superior, Li Ming guessed that it was probably due to personal grudges.

The ones who offered the reward for me might be the Xionghu Gang. I killed Pang Wenlong before, and the city guards made a big fuss about it, making them lose face. This time, it’s just a chance for them to take revenge.

Li Ming absorbed the metal energy while secretly pondering it.

The bounty hunters, who were already being hunted down, now had a stronger motivation to fight back, causing even greater unrest.

"The Evil Tiger Gang...Tu Zheng..." This guy once again had a bounty of one million star coins on him. Li Ming had already begun to consider whether he could kill him.

"Tu Zheng's information is very vague within the City Guard. As an E-class life form, the development progress must be more than 60%. Well... let's say 90%..."

As he was thinking, Li Ming was suddenly stunned. He was really becoming more and more arrogant. He had just become an E-class life form, but he was already thinking about killing this veteran E-class.

"He can't be alone. He must have all kinds of life-saving equipment on him. A situation like Feng Yue's last time is rare..." Li Ming suppressed his thoughts and concentrated on absorbing the metal energy.

It took Li Ming nearly ten hours to absorb all the information. As night fell, the wind howled and the severely desertified ground blew up huge amounts of sand.

11236, this is the final fixed metal energy, which makes Li Ming's heart burn, more than he expected.

Originally there were about two thousand left, and this time more than nine thousand points of metal energy were absorbed.

As for which controlled object to upgrade, he already had a decision in his mind, which was naturally the four-arm machine tool.

Although it is not as concealed as other controlled objects, its strength increase is the greatest. At the low-level life form stage, no one can stop the metal mechanical creation.

This is also one of the important reasons why most life forms that are unable to evolve to a higher level choose to undergo mechanical transformation.

Nine thousand points of metal energy flowed, and the four-arm machine tool in the control bar emitted a dazzling light.

The arc seemed to be more intense, and the metal appearance seemed to be carved by an invisible hand. The mechanical structure and components were more sophisticated, and the metal shell on the surface was peeling off.

It did not develop in the direction of becoming thicker, but instead became slightly smaller. What's more strange is that its huge base machine tool also underwent tremendous changes.

Like a silver liquid, it was gradually shaped into a snap-on carapace, and the four mechanical arms began to extend from the carapace.

"What is this...?" Li Ming was stunned. The power in his body suddenly surged. His bones crackled, his muscles became more solid, and his explosive power increased by several levels.

[Thunder Armored Exoskeleton--D: After multiple evolutions from an ordinary machine repair lathe, it is mixed with cloud thunder mother ore and undergoes special changes during upgrades.

……

Control effect: Strength blessing +100%
Control ability - Armored four arms: Evolve four mechanical arms to assist in combat, and add 50% control of lightning elements. 】

Li Ming stood up suddenly, the surprise in his eyes almost unable to be concealed, and then he clenched his fists to calm the emotions surging in his heart.

The changes brought about by this upgrade of the machine tool are too great.

The control effect has completely changed. The original mechanical maintenance was not very useful to him, but now it has become a normal state of power enhancement of 100%.

It has just become an E-level life form, and its development degree should be only 1%, but its energy level fluctuates around 5E, which exceeds the development progress.

Because the Purple Lightning Bear gene seed originally focused on strength, while other aspects were slightly sacrificed. After doubling, it would be 10E, which might not seem like much now, but as long as his development progresses, this increase will become more and more terrifying.

Moreover, there are other abilities added, and when combined with [Charged Attack], the power is tripled.

Its abilities have also changed, with the addition of control over the element of lightning.

He could not wait to try it out, and instantly felt the difference. A thick metal carapace covered the lower half of his back, and the extended shoulder armor was buckled on his shoulders, carved with inverted triangle patterns, like a bunch of feathers stacked on top of each other.

Four slender and silent robotic arms slowly emerged without any sound. The slender drill bits were integrated into the robotic arms, which looked magnificent and dangerous.

The saw blade at the end of the other robotic arm also turned into a drill, probably because he often uses drills.

The cross clamps of the two lower robotic arms have been turned into blue metal claws, which are more flexible and have stronger clamping force.

Crackling!

The azure arc of light reflected on Li Ming's cheek. His mind moved slightly, and the arc of light from his fingertips shot out like a bullet, dissipating ten meters later and blasting out a deep pit.

"More condensed, more powerful, and almost doubled in distance from the body, this is the effect of controlling the lightning element..." Li Ming's mouth opened into a grin, which eventually turned into a loud laugh mixed in the strong wind.

Level D is indeed a watershed.

According to Li Ming's understanding, after becoming a D-class life form, ordinary kinetic weapons, pistols, submachine guns, etc., can hardly cause fatal injuries to it.

“When objects with special energy are upgraded, they will undergo special transformations based on their usage habits. We must not neglect the collection of special energy in the future,” Li Ming pondered.

Now, of course, he had to take advantage of this chaotic period to replenish his empty black network balance and meet his old friends, the Xionghu Gang.

.........

"Damn, I knew these bounty hunters were no good. Sure enough, they are related to these gangs..." Lao Yao was lying on the roof of an abandoned building, covered with rags and holding an optical telescope.

There is a small three-story building not far away, with curtains drawn and surveillance cameras in every corner.

"Old Peng, this is the snakehead port of the Tiger Gang. These bounty hunters want to leave. Otherwise, when the patrol fleet blocks space, they will be trapped."

Lao Yao whispered, suppressing his excitement, "I've been watching for several days. There are at least three F-level bounty hunters here. If we take this place down, we'll get quite a lot."

"I got two high-explosive bombs. Do you want to try them?"

"Okay." Peng Gang said concisely.

"Let's disguise ourselves first and pretend to be bounty hunters. Let's sneak in and wait for an opportunity to act." He took out a camouflage mask, put it on his face, and took a long detour with Peng Gang to arrive in front of the building.

Boom! — Boom! Boom! — Boom!
After the special knock on the door, he made a gesture to the surveillance camera at the door. This had a special meaning, proving that he was one of them and knew the way.

After waiting for a while, no one opened the door.

Hmm? The code should be correct. Old Yao was puzzled and repeated it again, but there was still no movement.

Just when he was about to knock for the third time, the door finally opened.

"Damn it, why are you so slow? Just put it inside and smoke it..." He spoke in a pretentious and rough tone, imitating the words of those bounty hunters, but he only said half of it. When he saw the figure who opened the door clearly, he froze in place.

The man had a white bandage on his face, wore sunglasses, and was dressed very simply. Two silver-blue mechanical arms were slowly retracting into his back.

Old Yao caught a glimpse of blood slowly flowing on the worn floor.

　A splitting headache.

　　The next chapter will be updated at noon, which is really hellish in the early morning. I have to publish it and make sure it is not blocked before going to bed. It will be even more troublesome to change the update time after it is put on the shelves.

　　From now on, the chapters will be updated at 12 noon. Thank you all for your support!
