Chapter 63 Qin Xiao's Little Actions and the Cripple's Return (Please Order First!)
Yu Zhili hesitated for a moment, looked around, and said with a helpless smile:
"Brother, you have such a good relationship with Minister Qin, why didn't you tell me earlier? I did something wrong before, please forgive me, please forgive me."

Qin Xiao? Li Ming immediately understood that this guy was trying to win people's hearts.

Yu Zhili apologized repeatedly, but Li Ming magnanimously said it was okay, sent him away, and returned to Yang's store.

But Old Yang was rubbing his back and said, "Strange things happen every year. Yesterday, your Minister Qin sent someone to say that it was unsafe recently and wanted to take Yu'er and me to the dormitory near the City Guard Building."

"Today, this Yu guy just said he didn't want a house worth hundreds of thousands of star coins. Surprisingly."

“Really…” Li Ming paused slightly. This old fox has so many little tricks.

"What do you mean?"

Mr. Yang didn't care: "What's the matter with safety? I've lived here for decades without any accidents. All the neighbors are still here. I'm not used to moving."

After chatting for a while, Yang Yu mentioned something, "I heard from the teacher that among the Blue Star personnel accompanying the interstellar review team this time, there is a professor from the Capital University of Technology who has a high prestige."

"He has entrusted the Silver Grey Star Education Department to meet with us students who have been admitted to Capital University of Technology."

"Professor?" It was the first time that Li Ming learned about the relevant information about Blue Star's accompanying personnel. He didn't expect to hear it from Yang Yu.

"Yes... Wu Yanqing, Professor Wu." Yang Yu said with longing: "His theory of gene seed purification has been included in several interstellar laboratories before, and even set off a wave of enthusiasm in the interstellar space."

"However, it seems to have been disproven in the past two years. His reputation in the interstellar world has declined in the past two years. It's a pity that he stopped taking students several years ago. It would be great if I could be his student."

Yang Yu sighed, obviously having no hope for this.

Li Ming just listened, didn't care, and went home.

.........

Outside Silver Ash City
Buzz! The silver-white gull-wing spacecraft hovered over the sand dunes, its bright blue anti-gravity rings creating circles of flying sand. The hatch opened, and several figures jumped out.

"Only a month has passed, and the planet has already become like this." The old man holding the pipe was quite emotional. "The Sixth Patrol Fleet may be a bunch of good-for-nothings, but it is indeed enough to suppress this place."

"Find the target as soon as possible. If we are blocked here by the Sixth Patrol Fleet, we will be in trouble."

"clear."

.........

"Old Li, your son is such a monster. You must have lied to me on purpose before, fearing that your son would go down this path." The lame man muttered as he walked in the quiet sewer.

Suddenly, he stopped moving and looked up, "Well, this should be it."

The bed was quietly pushed up, and the cripple looked around with a sigh in his eyes, "Lao Li, I... fuck again!"

The lame man shuddered with fear and saw a figure leaning against the door frame.

Li Ming's eyes were strange, "Uncle Cripple, your way of appearing is really special."

"You kid..." The lame man's face turned red, and he was angry about his recent loss of composure.

But then a horrifying thought came to his mind. The last time he came, Li Ming didn't notice anything and slept like a dead pig.

But this time, it seemed as if he was waiting for him here, and he was completely unaware of his existence just now.

This kid...is improving so fast.

"You didn't even tell me you were coming." Li Ming almost took action.

The lame man looked Li Ming up and down but said nothing. He disappeared in a flash.

Li Ming's eyes moved slightly, and his figure disappeared at the same time, bang!
A dull thud was heard in the air, and a few seconds later, the cripple returned to his original position, and so did Li Ming.

"Good boy!" The cripple's eyes were full of astonishment, "How can you be an E-level life form!?"

After a simple test, he figured out Li Ming's current strength.

Not only that, he found that Li Ming's fighting skills and habits were also very familiar.

He and Li Changhai are exactly like each other.

Damn, that bastard Old Li really hid it from me. He said that his son is not good at this or that, but he has secretly taught him all his skills.

“It’s complicated to explain, but in short, I’m a genius,” Li Ming said frankly.

The cripple choked, "Where did you get your E-level gene seed?"

"The City Guard gave it to me."

"You joined the city guard?" The lame man was even more puzzled.

Li Ming asked in confusion: "You didn't watch the news."

“Who pays attention to such small-town news?”

Li Ming took out his smart terminal and started playing.

"…My father taught me since I was young…to be brave and strong…"

The lame man looked for a while, then looked up at Li Ming, then looked down for a while, and then looked up again.

"What are you doing?" he asked puzzled.

The lame man was silent for a long time before he said faintly, "Are you really sure that you are his biological son, Old Li?" Li Ming smiled wryly, "What do you mean? Why don't you go down and ask him?"

The lame man sighed, "Old Li is a simple and honest person. How could you be like this when you grew up next to him?"

Li Ming didn't respond, but asked, "Why are you back again?"

"You made such a big fuss, how could I not come back?" The lame man suddenly realized and asked, "That's not right, how come your development progress is so fast?"

"I've already told you that I'm a genius."

The lame man was speechless and said, "You're making too much noise. You'd better be quieter. If those people notice you, you'll be in trouble."

"It's too late for you. I've already killed one." Li Ming said calmly.

"..." The lame man didn't know what to think. The shock he suffered today was too great. He looked frightened and asked, "They are here already?"

"Only one came, and he seemed to think I was easy to deal with. The rest should be done soon too." Li Ming said casually.

"Aren't you afraid?" The lame man stared at Li Ming, but did not find any fear or uneasiness.

"Is it useful to be afraid?" Li Ming asked back. The lame man was silent again, with a complex expression on his face, helplessness, emotion, and a little bit of tragedy?
Li Mingze shrugged: "Uncle Cripple, tell me, who are you, who are they, and what is going on?"

"This matter..." The lame man opened his mouth and closed it again, as if he didn't know where to start. He sighed and said, "This is a clichéd story."

"Your father and I were once soldiers on Blue Star. Later, we were favored by an important figure and joined a secret force to perform some shady missions."

"..."

Lame man narrated that they were not an ace unit, nor did they have any earth-shattering and touching stories. They were just an assassination unit called "Fierce Dragon" that specialized in doing dirty work.

The story ends with a political extermination case. The youngest heir of an old political family on Blue Star escapes with his life and, with the help of advanced civilization, makes a comeback.

The time span is very long, and Xiaolong has been disbanded for five or six years.

"So, all of you retired ones will be cleared out as well?" Li Ming frowned.

The cripple sighed, "Yes, he is now a powerful figure on Blue Star. He only needs to say a word and someone will use a lot of resources to help him."

After hearing this story, Li Ming was not emotional at all, it was just about revenge.

"They are called [Jin], and each team has about five people. The captain's strength must not be lower than the target. Your father is an E-level life form, so he should not be higher." The cripple was afraid that Li Ming would not care, so he emphasized:

"E-level life forms also have their strengths and weaknesses. Even 10 F-level life forms would not be enough to fill the gap of one energy level."

The lame man sighed: "More importantly, even if they cannot be seen in the light, they can still use a lot of official resources in secret."

"You are in the light, and they are in the dark, this is troublesome.

"I understand." Li Ming nodded and whispered, "Actually, I already have a plan, but it's a little difficult to implement it myself. With you here, it should be much easier."

"Tell me about it." The lame man didn't care much at first. After all, Li Ming was too young and the plan might have many loopholes.

But as Li Ming continued to talk, his expression gradually changed, and he was dumbfounded and stared at Li Ming, "You... are so cruel."

"Just tell me if it's feasible."

The cripple thought deeply for a moment, nodded and said, "It's simple and crude, but it's feasible. If it succeeds, it will definitely cause a huge uproar, and those people will probably be on pins and needles."

"In that case, please let Uncle Lame prepare."

The two discussed some details until late at night.

They decided to act separately. It was not safe to continue staying here. In order to avoid accidents, Li Ming decided to go to the City Guard Building first.

It's just that Mr. Yang and Yang Yu...

"Don't worry, they are the same as we were before, and the rules should be similar. Just eliminate the target and don't allow more trouble. The more people you kill, the more trouble you will have in the end." The lame man explained:
"They are also not recorded, and if they are caught, they are responsible for all their actions."

When we arrived at the City Guard Building, the overall atmosphere was very solemn. The bounty hunters' counterattacks were becoming more serious, and I chatted with several members of the special operations team.

Over a dozen city guards died in the past two days, all of them were F-class life forms. The Wild Dog Gang and the Rose Society also suffered heavy losses in the past two days, and many of their cadres received bounties.

"Oh, those bounty hunters are really desperate. They use every possible means. Damn, can you imagine that they have a bomb in their stomach?" The colleague with a broken arm cursed angrily, and then he grimaced as his injury revived.

Bounty hunters are in a very dangerous business, and they use more desperate means than anyone else.

Early the next morning, he couldn't wait to check the progress of gene development.

"It's still 1%. As expected, this kind of passive development is surprisingly slow."

The conditions for developing E-level gene seeds are more stringent, and at least a private training room like the one in the City Guard Building is required. It is already abnormal that he can accumulate a lot with a small amount.

In the afternoon, Li Ming changed his appearance, left the City Guard Building, and went to pick up his six tons of zirconium crystal alloy.

Along the way, Li Ming was extremely cautious. According to his estimation, the people from [Jin] should have arrived.

He carefully concealed his traces to avoid being ambushed. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened until he absorbed all the metal energy and returned to the City Guard Building.

The dried-up metal energy was replenished again and reached 6633 points, which made Li Ming feel a lot more comfortable and was enough to deal with emergencies.

At night, Minister Qin gave an internal speech and summoned members of the special operations team.
