This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 87 New changes in B-level items with millions of metal energy - occupation?

The following assessment was ordinary and followed the normal process, which made people drowsy and lacked passion.

Those who can enter the next round will naturally cheer, while those who are eliminated will look gloomy.

Things became tense only during the actual practice stage. Although there were teachers watching, it would still be troublesome if any students got hurt.

Li Ming didn't stay on the stage all the time, he went downstairs to take a walk.

"Brother Ming." Zhang Huaiyuan greeted excitedly, breathing heavily, as he had just fought with someone.

"I've entered a key training class." It was obvious that he was a little reluctant, but his development progress, which far exceeded that of others, still provided him with a considerable advantage.

"Very good." Li Ming praised.

Zhang Huaiyuan chuckled twice, "If you hadn't trained us, I would have been so close."

He stood here, and many people around him kept looking at him.

After a while, Liang Long also came over with an excited look on his face and clenched his fists.

There were only two of them who entered the key training class. Wang Bing and Ge Hong failed to get in, and Ji Ya and Yang Yu were far behind.

Ji Ya was heartless and didn't feel anything, but Yang Yu looked a little gloomy.

"Brother Ming, you are really awesome." Ge Hong admired from the bottom of his heart, and the flesh on his face piled up as if he was proud of it.

"Haha..." Li Ming laughed, "I'm just lucky. If you have any questions in the future, you can send me a message."

Ge Hong didn't have any special reaction, but Wang Huaiyuan and Liang Long's eyes lit up slightly.

With Li Ming's current status, he can be said to be soaring to heaven.

They couldn't get into any big trouble, and with Li Ming's words, their future days would be much more peaceful.

"Professor Wu asked me to go to the lab with him. Wait, let's go back to the hotel and pack our things."

"it is good."

……

As the sun sets, the final assessment results are out, except for Li Ming who takes first place.

The rankings of the rest of the people were similar to what most people had predicted beforehand, with Rosser second and Zhao Jingang third.

The dean announced the result and, after a speech, let everyone go. Their dormitories had already been assigned and they could move in at any time.

Silver Gray Star and his companions traveled together and returned to the hotel to pack their things. They didn't talk much along the way because Fang Biao followed him.

Several people had an indescribable fear in their hearts towards this burly man. This was the natural awe that lower life levels have for higher life levels.

"You, really don't live in the dormitory?" Yang Yu asked hesitantly.

"Well, Professor Wu asked me to live with him in the laboratory." Li Ming packed his clothes and the remaining nutrient solution.

"Then where should I find you in the future?" Yang Yu lowered his head and asked cautiously.

"Let's go to the lab. I'll send you the location later." Li Ming said casually, "Send a message if you need anything."

"You...let me see your star network number." Yang Yu whispered.

"Oh." Li Ming felt puzzled and handed over the smart terminal.

After scratching it for a while, Yang Yu suddenly became lively again.

"Then stop muting your phone." Yang Yu handed the thing back.

"Hmm..." Li Ming groaned. It's not that he was silent, but he would sometimes put the smart terminal into the control standby column.

"Brother Biao." Li Ming suddenly spoke, and Fang Biao, who was like a wall beside him, quickly responded: "What's wrong?"

Fang Biao no longer dares to look down on Li Ming. In the opening exam, he won first place in one fell swoop, showing his extraordinary potential.

"Can you add me as a friend? If she has any problems and can't find me, she can find you." Li Ming asked.

"No problem." Fang Biao nodded, and Yang Yu became even happier.

The few of them parted ways. Li Ming followed Fang Biao. The hovercraft had arrived. Li Ming followed Fang Biao to Professor Wu's private laboratory.

On a small island not far from the Polytechnic University, various buildings are lined up, and two tall buildings are the most eye-catching.

The devices hanging above were glowing dimly, and the translucent metal bridges in between were flowing with blue halos, like energy transmission pipelines.

Fully armed security personnel were patrolling everywhere. They were not ordinary employees and their eyes were quite sharp.

There are special security regulations here. Even law enforcement agencies cannot enter without permission.

After getting off the hovercraft, Professor Wu had received the news and rushed over to greet us in person.

He seemed a little impatient. After Li Ming got out of the car, he asked someone to take the luggage.

"Come, follow me." He took Li Ming into the laboratory area between the two tall buildings.

As he walked, he said, "I have given you authorization. You can come and go as you please."

"The development and exercise area is on the east, the cafeteria is on the left, and the rest area is in the northwest..."

As he introduced, he walked through the metal corridor. The heavy alloy doors along the way kept closing and reopening.

The researchers they met on the road were very respectful to Professor Wu. They stopped and waited for them to pass, and some were even a little afraid of them.

Buzz--
Another door opened. It turned out to be a polygonal transit space with more than a dozen metal corridors connected in all directions. People would pass through from time to time.

After passing through here and continuing forward to the deepest part of the laboratory, and after passing through another security door, what appeared in front of Li Ming was a gray-white heavy alloy door.

There are multiple levels of protection here; fingerprints and pupil patterns are just the most basic. It seems that only Professor Wu can come here.

Accompanied by the sound of pressure relief, white mist overflowed from the gap, and it was pitch black. Professor Wu was the first to step into the room.

With a "buzz", the lights came on, and the dark room became as bright as day. There were several large equipment in the center, and green liquid was bubbling in several high-pressure liquid storage tanks.

"Teacher, you are not really going to slice me up, are you?" Li Ming stood at the door and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"You think a lot." Professor Wu shook his head without even turning his head: "I can't bear to cut you off, come in quickly."

Li Ming hesitated for a moment and walked into the room. Old Wu had already walked to the central operating table and entered a few commands.

The floor cracked, and a silvery-white cylindrical metal object slowly floated up, with a thumb-sized groove in the center.

"Press your finger on it."

Professor Wu spoke to Li Ming, his eyes seemed full of anticipation.

Li Ming pondered for a moment, then stretched out his thumb, feeling a tingling sensation.

After withdrawing his finger, he found that there was a little blood in the central groove, which then quickly disappeared.

Immediately, the liquid in the high-pressure storage tank boiled more fiercely, and Li Ming could vaguely feel that the current in the room suddenly increased.

Soon, everything calmed down again, and a number appeared on the central screen - 10%
"10%?" Professor Wu frowned and sighed in his heart.

"Professor, what is this?" Li Ming asked. "It is to detect the concentration of sublimated particles in your body." Professor Wu explained.

"Sublimation particle concentration?" This term is extremely unfamiliar.

Professor Wu simply put it this way: “It’s the potential for gene purification, and I’ve quantified it.”

Quantified?
Didn’t it mean that before me, no life form with the potential for genetic purification could be found?
Where did Old Wu get the experimental data to quantify it? Li Ming's doubts became even stronger.

"Don't tell anyone else what you saw today." Although Professor Wu did not turn around, he seemed to have anticipated what Li Mingxin was thinking.

"Don't worry, we will prosper together and suffer together. I won't harm you."

There was no point in thinking too much, Li Ming nodded: "I understand."

Old Wu stopped moving, as if he was thinking, and then he fiddled with something. The metal wall on the other side opened from the center and slowly faded to both sides.

Then, the heavy glass display stand lit up dimly, and what appeared in front of Li Ming was a broken, charred mecha. Only half of it was left, but it should have been a full-body mecha.

The overall shape is streamlined, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. There are not many visible metal components. Instead, under the breastplate, there are some black fibers that resemble muscles.

The shoulder armor was the least damaged, and you could see golden lines outlined on it, like some kind of pattern.

The head was split apart from the forehead, leaving only about one-third, with a half-broken golden prismatic crystal embedded in it.

Only the part of the black cloak behind him that was connected to the shoulder armor remained. If it had not been destroyed, the whole thing would have been very gorgeous.

"What is this?" Li Ming was stunned for a long time, his eyes lingering on the broken part and the exposed crystal circuit, and he couldn't help but ask.

"This is something I found in the ruins of a certain civilization. It is already in tatters." Professor Wu stared at Li Ming.

"Teacher, can I touch it?" Li Ming's throat moved.

This request was a bit strange, but Professor Wu seemed to be waiting for this sentence and responded immediately: "Of course."

He touched the metal ring on his middle finger, a virtual screen popped up, and he tapped on it.

The metal cabin in front of him slowly opened, and the support behind the broken mecha extended forward, finally stopping in front of Li Ming.

He walked forward, caressing her with his hand, his heart suddenly throbbing, and he suppressed his emotions, a turbulent wave in his heart--
[Feros Warrior-class Mecha--Class B: Forged with Xio metal and Phantom Dragon fiber as the main materials.

Control conditions: One million metal energy
Control Effect: Occupation - Thunder Guard

Control Ability - Over Limit: Spend a certain amount of time to release the Ferros Armor, which can increase strength by up to 500%, speed by 500%, and defense by up to 500%. 】

One million metal energies!

This was the most powerful control object he had ever seen.

The control effect is unheard of. Thunder Guardian? Occupation?
He was curious, but now he had no control and could not check the details.

But the power of its control ability [Super Limit] is so powerful that there is no need to say more, just one word - explode!
"What's wrong?" Professor Wu asked anxiously.

"Nothing?" Li Ming let go of his hand and shook his head: "I just feel that this thing seems to be very delicate and powerful."

Professor Wu frowned, as if he didn't see the result he wanted, but he didn't say much and put away the broken armor.

"Just focus on developing genetic seeds. If you're bored, you can go for a stroll, but don't neglect the Polytechnic University." He reminded:

"The Polytechnic University has received interstellar support, and the Itlan civilization is an advanced civilization. The resources they possess are beyond our reach."

Although Old Wu looked down on those professors on the surface, he was well aware of the importance of the Polytechnic University.

He revealed that Blue Star did not have a method to prepare C-level gene seeds and could only rely on the quota distribution of the Itlan civilization, which was also a form of restriction.

As the two of them walked out, Old Wu looked at the starry sky and said, "If you want to buy something, just put it on the lab's bill and remember to ask them to issue an invoice. The experimental expenses can be reimbursed."

"I understand..." Li Ming nodded. Old Wu was talking about small things. It would definitely not be possible for him to spend without restraint.

But spending a few thousand shouldn't be a problem, right? He couldn't help rubbing his hands.

"When you go to school the day after tomorrow, remember to collect what you deserve, especially the gene refining potion." Old Wu reminded specifically.

Li Ming was also wondering what that thing was and couldn't help but ask.

"It's a strengthening potion that can only be used once per life level to strengthen gene seeds. However, it can only be used after it has been developed to 100%." ​​Professor Wu explained it to him in detail, emphasizing: "This thing is as precious as a custom D-level gene seed."

After listening to this, Li Ming suddenly realized that this refined potion was used to squeeze out the last bit of potential from the gene seeds and enhance them to a certain extent.

It is specially supported by Yitlan and cannot be bought on the market.

When they finished talking, they had already arrived at Li Ming's lounge. After bidding farewell to Professor Wu, Li Ming walked in.

The room is quite spacious, with a large bed, desk, wardrobe, etc. all in milky white.

I used the [Intelligent Assistance] capability to take a look, but found no surveillance cameras, recording devices, or the like.

Sitting on the bed, Li Ming let out a long sigh and lay on his back. A lot of things happened today.

In fact, the 10% particle concentration is easy to understand.

He remembered that the description of the testing equipment he stole from Old Wu said "preliminary acquisition"

Since it is preliminary, a concentration of only 10% is normal.

"The concentration should reach a certain level to meet Old Wu's requirements." Li Ming thought, since he could create something from nothing and possess these particles, there must be a way to increase the concentration.

Judging from Old Wu’s reaction, he wasn’t too disappointed.

"There are secrets about Old Wu..." He searched Old Wu's resume, which was legendary.

He was born on an unknown planet, which was even more miserable than the Silver-Gray Planet. He had never had enough food since childhood. After he was fortunate enough to leave his planet, things got out of control.

There is also the Ferros mecha. All the damaged items are B-level items, and judging from its style, it is obviously not a product of Blue Star. Old Wu seems to be looking forward to how that thing will react to him.

It would probably take some time to gather one million pieces of metal energy.

It is impossible for him to accumulate it forever, and it will inevitably be consumed elsewhere, and the time required will probably be longer than he imagined.

"It's better to absorb it directly. It can also generate hundreds of thousands of metal energies." Li Ming thought and shook his head again.

That was obviously Old Wu's treasure. The relationship between the two was good now, but they were not yet at the point of being honest with each other, and each of them had secrets.

Old Wu was very suspicious of him regarding the theft of the testing equipment.

Ever since he had come into contact with Old Wu, Old Wu had informed the city guards that there was no need to search for any trace of the stolen items, and it was obvious that he had assumed that he had taken them, but had never mentioned it.

Take your time, don't rush. The things are there and won't disappear in a short time.
Old Wu’s popularity is not very good now, which is a good thing for me, as it prevents me from being sliced ​​into pieces.

Li Ming analyzed the current situation in his mind. Old Wu is trustworthy for the time being, but he will have to rely on him for a long time to come.

The most important thing now is to develop gene seeds and enhance his own strength. The Privy Council deacon behind Jhin should know his identity soon, and it is unknown how he will react.

He was not far from level D, and the control bar would be unlocked soon, and he was filled with anticipation.

　It's another hard day, please vote! Thank you for your support!
