Chapter 336 Impact and Reaction (please ask for monthly votes at the beginning of the month, thank you bosses for your support!)
After waiting for Li Ming's interrogation or showing off his power for a long time, Reina's voice became hoarse:
"I'm sorry to Grand Duke Gu Ya, but don't even think of getting anything from me. At worst, you'll kill me."
The shame of becoming a prisoner was second to none. Reiner recalled the battle not long ago and thought that Qinglong and his subordinates escaped unscathed only by relying on the mecha.
But he didn't expect that the other party's hidden methods were far more than he imagined.
"Kill you?" Li Ming shook his head and said calmly: "I won't kill you. If you die, Nicholas will dance even more happily, and he will take the opportunity to incite the empire's senior officials to attack us."
Hearing what Li Ming said, Reina paused slightly and laughed at himself: "Yes, I almost forgot that Nicholas, this mad dog, caught me and refused to let me go. He didn't care whether I killed his son or not."
"Now that you have caught me, he will definitely try his best to get the Royal Council to take action. Instead, he saved me."
"So, in order to prevent the Star Abyss Empire from really targeting us, I can only let you go." Li Ming said it normally and casually, not intending to really slap the Star Abyss Empire in the face.
Unlike Gabriel's ambiguity, all parties agreed tacitly to fall on the head of Archduke Guya.
He caught Reina, it was a sure thing, and the news couldn't be hidden.
There were many spies outside the galaxy, and the commotion caused was quite large. I am afraid that this news has already begun to spread outside.
As an S-class life form listed within the Star Abyss Empire, Reina is not a direct descendant. He is a late joiner and is under the Higher Life Administration Bureau, which is a department directly under the Royal Council.
No matter whose subordinate he is, those high-level officials cannot just sit back and watch. If they extract the genetic material, it is not in vain that they arrest him. He must be released if he should.
"You make it easy." Reina was silent for a moment and couldn't help but said: "I came straight to you and almost succeeded in a sneak attack. Qinglong asked you to let me go. Aren't you unwilling to do so?"
"What's the point..." Li Ming shook his head and said nonchalantly: "No one wants to offend this behemoth of the Star Abyss Empire, so why ask for trouble."
"Aren't you afraid that if you let me go, I'll come back with a vengeance?" Reina said provocatively.
"You probably won't have this chance." Li Ming spoke incomprehensibly and pulled out the opponent's genetic essence. When he stumbled all the way back to the Star Abyss Empire, the first decline would come.
Depending on the other party's development progress, it may fall from the S-class life form the first time at most twice.
He doesn't mind people discovering that Qinglong has the ability to degenerate people's genes. This is the mystery and this is the method.
Methods cannot be imagined by others, otherwise there will always be people ready to test, and there must be corresponding displays.
Thunder's appearance is one thing, and this method of genetic degradation is also another aspect, which is enough for outsiders to increase the threat of Qinglong by many levels.
"Hmph..." Reina sneered, "You are ready to let me go, but you haven't asked me if I want to leave yet."
"Tell me, if I die here, will the empire be forced to avenge me?"
Li Ming paused slightly, his eyes flickered, and then said with emotion: "Your Excellency's loyalty is really moving to the stars."
"If you die here, the empire will indeed only want us, but this will not do any good to Grand Duke Gu Ya."
"If you want to bring justice to Guya and spit out all the benefits that Nicholas has eaten, you must be able to catch my teacher."
Li Ming followed the temptation and said: "It's just such a small planet. We can throw it away as soon as we say it. At worst, we can hide it in another place. Your death will not bring any benefits except inflicting another heavy blow on the already seriously injured Grand Duke Gu Ya." ?”
"If you really think about Grand Duke Gu Ya, you should think about it carefully. If you really decide to do this, I won't mind helping you." Li Ming said thoughtfully:
"I will send your beheading video to the stars. Nicholas will definitely applaud and then further oppress Grand Duke Guya."
"If he can't even protect his subordinates, who will work loyally for him?"
Reina was silent. That's what he said. He was ashamed of losing to Li Ming and had complicated emotions, so he said this in order to take some initiative.
As a result, Li Ming blocked his way.
"Um...Okay." Li Ming pretended to lift the metal box at hand.
Only then did Reina react and said in a deep voice: "What did you do to me?"
"It's nothing, the teacher asked me to make some gadgets." Li Ming smiled warmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Reina, it won't be a problem."
Reina's development progress is as he estimated, only 4%, which can be classified as low-end S.
Reina twisted his body and said unwillingly: "Where is Qinglong? Isn't he going to show up? Or am I no longer qualified to let him look at me?"
"Your Excellency, you have misunderstood..." Li Ming paused and said with a smile: "You have never had such qualifications."
Reina's expression froze, feeling ashamed and annoyed, and then he felt depressed for a while. He didn't even see Qinglong's face, and he ended up in this situation. There was nothing to be unwilling to do.
………
About half a day later, Albert, who was hiding in the far-space orbit, carefully drove the spacecraft away. His silver pupils were full of panic, and his vigilance was raised to the extreme.
He is not sure now whether he has been discovered by Qinglong.
After staying away from Han Tianxing and then quickly away from the Meteor Flame Galaxy, he reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Not daring to delay, he quickly contacted the blood-stricken Archduke and received a response soon.
"Albert, what's going on over there?" Seeing Albert contacting him, Nicholas had a premonition that something might have happened, so he came up and asked.
Qinglong was a thorn in his heart, and even when he was suffering from internal struggles, he still cared about him very much.
"Today, an S-class life form suddenly attacked Hantian Star." Albert said.
Nicholas looked slightly shocked, "S-class life form? What is its origin? How is the battle situation? Has the Azure Dragon appeared?"
"I don't know the specific origin. I only know that she is a woman, and Qinglong did not appear..."
Before Albert could finish speaking, Nicholas interrupted and frowned: "Qinglong didn't show up? What about Li Ming? Was he taken away?"
"No, there was an S-class mechanical body that defeated that woman." Albert said helplessly.
"S-class mechanical body?" Nicholas was stunned, his face turned ugly: "Can Qinglong build an S-class mechanical body?"
The amount of information contained in this is huge. The mechanical body is an integration of various technical means such as material science, energy engine, and even transmission efficiency.
Although there are many star-casting mechanics in the interstellar world, there are really not many who have the ability to build this thing.
"Yeah..." Albert also looked helpless, "For an S-class mechanical body to be a bodyguard, he is really wealthy."
"And... halfway through the fight, that guy Reina was actually here and intended to attack Li Ming, but Qinglong left his mecha with Li Ming."
Nicholas couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, "Reina...Satogua, this old guy, is not willing to let me eat a piece of his flesh."
"The S-class mechanical body and S-class mecha were left to Li Ming. Qinglong really valued him, and Reina could only return without success."
"It's not like returning without success." Albert sighed.
"Did he catch Li Ming?" Nicholas's face changed slightly. Who wouldn't want a treasure with level 46 development potential?
He looked at Albert with a somewhat evil look.
"No." Albert was speechless and explained: "On the contrary, Li Ming wore that mecha and severely injured Reina, and he has been caught." "Beat Reina seriously?" Nicholas chewed on a few words and said in disbelief: "Isn't that mecha incapable of fighting?"
"We have all been deceived, no matter what, it is simply too..." Albert can't describe it in words. "I estimate that the development progress is less than 30%, and there is almost no possibility of facing it head-on."
Powerful acceleration, simple and crude.
"So powerful?" Nicholas suddenly thought. At the level of S-class life forms, every bit of development progress takes tens to hundreds of years.
At every development node, the awakened abilities will bring about huge increases.
Many people are like Reina, who struggled to make the leap and became an S-class life form, but then stagnated throughout their lives.
Nicholas looked uncertain, then suddenly relaxed, and said: "It doesn't matter, since he caught Reina, he is provoking the empire head-on."
"No matter how many tricks he hides, since he chooses to hide it, it means there are still things to be afraid of and afraid of."
Albert nodded, relying on the Star Abyss Empire was the confidence of these people.
Just when he was about to speak, he heard movement from the other side of the screen. It seemed that someone was coming to report. The voice was very familiar, and it seemed to be the intelligence adjutant.
"Grand Duke, we just received urgent news that the S-class life form Reina was captured in the chaotic star gap and fell into the hands of Qinglong."
The response over there was quite fast...Albert couldn't help but click.
"I already know..." Nicholas said lightly, but the intelligence adjutant hadn't finished reporting yet and continued: "There was news from Grand Duke Guya, and Qinglong passed the message and asked them to send someone to hand over Reina."< br>
"Hand over Reina?" Nicholas stood up suddenly and shouted: "Is he going to let him go?"
"It seems so."
"Have you made any conditions?" Nicholas asked.
"It seems not."
"Coward!" Nicholas gritted his teeth and said, "People have been beaten to the door, and you just let them go? You didn't even mention the conditions?"
Albert was also a little stunned, but he quickly reacted.
Qinglong didn't want to provoke the Xingyuan Empire, and he was extremely rational. It had only been half a day since the attack, and he asked someone to deliver the message. He obviously didn't want to be hit by a time lag.
No conditions were mentioned to avoid any excuses from being caught.
In Nicholas's roar, the communication ended, Albert's face changed, and he didn't know whether he should leave or continue to stay.
With the Star Abyss Empire on his back, even Reina's life would not be in danger. This was a benefit, so he had to pay a corresponding price.
………
In the room, Li Ming felt the surging and extremely active cells in his body, as if he were soaking in a hot spring. The cells all over his body were squirming. He could clearly feel that he was getting stronger every moment, even if it was just a little bit.
The changes brought about by the gene seeds permeate the whole body.
He has used the genetic essence extracted from Reina to improve one of the three remaining evolutionary theories under the evolutionary system [Yan Lei Emperor Evolution Theory].
Turned it into an S-level [Evolution Source of Emperor Yan].
"The gene source quality has been upgraded from A level to S level, and the development speed has been increased from 16 times to 32 times. With the blessing of [Sublimation Source Crystal], the overall speed has reached 256 times."
Li Ming mused, every improvement, with the blessing of [Sublimation Source Crystal], can be called a huge increase.
Perhaps it is because the improvement only uses one S-level gene essence, and there are no special changes in the evolutionary essence, only the improvement in data.
After glancing at the smart terminal, the response from Grand Duke Guya had come, agreeing to place the handover point at the Twin Peaks node.
Li Ming replied "Okay", agreed on a time, and opened the black hole network.
Sure enough, the battle that took place more than half a day ago has begun to circulate in the chaotic star gap, and there are also blurry battle videos.
Li Ming went in and took a look. Lei Ting's figure was clearly visible. When he returned with Reina, it was also very clear.
"S-class mechanical body, Lord Qinglong is so powerful. He didn't even show his face, and he made two S-class life forms catch and escape with just his students."
"I don't know where this guy came from. He doesn't stop even when he comes to the Chaos Star Gap."
"It is said that the captured S-class life form is from the Star Abyss Empire, tsk tsk... It's really exciting now..."
Li Ming glanced at him and saw that he could say anything, but his understanding of Qinglong's strength and methods was basically at a higher level.
Sigh...bragging, making up for it, the more you brag, the bigger it gets...I don't know when I will be able to make up for it completely.
For now, as long as those big forces are not forced to take action against him, his boasting cannot be exposed for the time being.
Leaving the room and finding Robin, he had a warm attitude: "Have you packed up? It's time to go."
"Okay, okay..." Robin nodded repeatedly, having already packed everything.
They were on Robin's ship.
As Ulrich and others saw each other off, Robin cautiously glanced at Lei Lei who was following Li Ming, "Is he following too?"
"Of course, he is my bodyguard, so of course he will follow." Li Ming took it for granted.
While Robin was envious, he also wondered: "What about this planet?"
"I'm not here, and my teacher isn't here either. Who would take action here?" Li Ming smiled.
This planet is really not a big threat in the eyes of other people, and neither are the people on it.
"After yesterday's battle, the situation should be much better. I will leave the matters here to you." Li Ming said to Ulrich.
"Understood." Ulrich nodded. Unknowingly, he also respected Li Ming. "Those small arms dealers mostly follow the big arms dealers and wave flags and shout. After yesterday's battle, there are quite a few today. People place orders.”
"If we are stronger, we should be able to expand our share."
Names of People, Shadows of Trees, and Chaotic Star Gap are rumored to be an extremely chaotic place in the outside world, but that is only the middle and lower levels.
There has been no battle between higher life forms for some time. Yesterday's battle caused quite a stir, which was equivalent to Qinglong speaking for himself.
"Yes." Li Ming nodded, still very confident in Ulrich's ability to do things.
"He's coming with us too?" Robin shuddered, looked at Reina who was being restrained by the Tan Guard, and swallowed.
"I want to hand them over to the people of the Star Abyss Empire and hand them over at the Twin Peaks node." Li Ming said casually. The two boarded the spacecraft, the engine roared, broke through the atmosphere and disappeared into the sky under the watch of everyone.
