Chapter 81 A great harvest
After looking at the three-dimensional map, Li Ming found Tu Zheng's room. It was very extravagantly built, with a 4*4 large bed taking up most of the space.
The surrounding holographic images simulate a prairie, lifelike, and even have the sound of the wind rustling the grass.
“This fat man really knows how to enjoy it.” Li Ming fumbled for a moment and found his target. The safe placed by Tu Zheng on the bedside quickly opened it.
The safe is not big, and there is a pile of golden crystals in it - refined liquid gold, an interstellar precious metal.
Li Ming recognized it at a glance. It was more expensive than the amethyst he had obtained from Scarface Tiger before, exceeding 10,000 star coins per gram.
"Tsk..." Li Ming grinned.
Based on a rough estimate, this small pile is worth three million star coins, and there are also two delivery cards from the Giant Shield Company. I don’t know what they are.
Then, he went to the warehouse in this secret castle. Various firearms and weapons were neatly arranged, at least two to three hundred. Among them, the most noteworthy one was the all-metal weapon in the glass cabinet. Armor.
Black paint, sharp edges and corners, almost all visible parts are made of alloy, even the joints, the purple-black titanium fiber lining can only be seen when moving.
[Tanwei 211 personal combat armor - D level: made of diamond alloy, mixed titanium fiber lining, thick individual combat armor.
Control conditions: 7,000 points of metal energy
Control effect: Defense blessing--150%
Control ability-tank guard: blessing 300% defense. 】
The ability is simple and crude, adding up to a 450% defense blessing. After mastering it, ordinary kinetic energy bullets fell on his skin, even hitting his hair.
It must be at least the energy level with the D suffix in order to break through his defense.
Even if you don't control it, with a tank guard on the outside and array armor on the inside, it can resist for a while against D-class life forms.
"This is a big harvest." Li Ming was in a happy mood and packed up the firearms. They were full of metal energy, including many F and E-class heavy weapons.
This windfall is more than all the previous gains combined.
Killing the three big fish earned a reward of three million star coins, and the sum of all the items in the secret castle was roughly estimated to be worth five to six million.
The total value is eight to nine million star coins, and there are two anonymous storage cards from the Giant Shield Company. There may be a little surprise hidden in them.
Although this place is also made of metal materials, he cannot stay here for long, so he packs up, takes his things, and leaves quickly.
…………
Half a day later, Yang Peng stood here with a blank expression. Section Chief Wang reported in a low voice: "The minister's place has been cleaned up, and there is no data in the monitoring terminal. "
"Does anyone know about this place?" Yang Peng couldn't help but look at Zeng Hao.
"Although there are only a few people who know that the people here are Tu Zheng's confidants, there are still a few." Zeng Hao shook his head helplessly: "I don't know who took the lead."
"Shadow!" Yang Peng suddenly After uttering these two words, Zeng Hao's face condensed slightly, and Section Chief Wang's expression perked up: "How did the minister know it was him?"
"Intuition." Yang Peng frowned: "I don't know what's going on. I I always feel like he is one step ahead of us in everything."
"You mean there is a spy in the department?" Section Chief Wang lowered his voice deliberately.
"It's just my speculation, don't talk nonsense." Yang Peng shook his head and sighed.
...
“Another U disk?” Li Ming was speechless and looked at the U disk in the box.
After absorbing the refined liquid gold and those firearms and equipment, he obtained nearly 60,000 metal energy. After taking control of the tank guards, he was left with about 55,000, an unprecedented number.
Then he went to Judun Company to pick up the goods. This was one of the two anonymous storage cards left by Tu Zheng.
He plugged in the smart terminal and looked at it. It turned out to be a piece of criminal evidence. There were many overlaps with what Qin Xiao had collected.
But there are differences.
What Qin Xiao collected was mostly from middle and high-level people, but Tu Zheng had a lot of evidence of low-level government officials accepting bribes, not just from the city guards, but from various departments, and the number was as high as four to five hundred.
However, some of the bribes are only a few thousand star coins, just for small things.
"Nowadays, everyone uses this kind of thing to protect themselves, right? If you are caught, throw it out and blow it up." Li Ming copied it into the smart terminal and destroyed the original USB flash drive.
Suddenly I realized that my smart terminal had also become a bomb.
It's still a mixed bomb. It would be fun if it were lost one day, he thought aimlessly.
Although this USB flash drive disappointed him, another thing gave him a surprise--
[D-72 high-energy thermobaric bomb - consumption: huge destructive power bomb.
Control conditions: 10,000 points of metal energy
Control effect - powerful blast: consume the control object, temporarily upgrade the host to the D-level life standard, and control the flame element, duration - -60s】
"Is the thermobaric bomb trying to kill the enemy?" Li Ming stroked the delicate metal hollow lines on its surface.
Although it is only the size of a fist, this thing is powerful enough to turn several city blocks into ashes, comparable to a small missile.
If there was such a serious terrorist attack, the entire city guard would be stripped off, not to mention a layer of skin.
Happily in control, I have one more trump card. There is no such thing as too many trump cards. I still have 45,000 metal energy left.
When they returned to the Chengwei Building, it happened that Yang Peng also returned with his team, his face gloomy, and Lin Yao first looked sad.
Yang Peng saw him leisurely coming back from outside and asked a few questions suspiciously, but he didn't find out why.
In the afternoon, the city guards were discussing the unlucky Lin Yaoxian, and many people were gloating about his misfortune.
Li Ming sat on the chair, calculating. Now he had a huge sum of money. Since the Sixth Patrol Fleet had left two days ago, the black hole network had resumed distribution.
But he is not in a hurry to turn all of them into metal energy. The remaining metal energy is still quite comfortable at D level.
Can control the metal energy required by C-level objects, and can directly suck them dry at will.
In early August, the storm in Silver Gray City had passed, and what happened not long ago seemed like a dream.
In the apartment of Cheng Wei’s family.
"Come on, come on..." Yang Yu was wearing a long top, with his shiny white thighs exposed at the hem. He was holding a bowl of milky white fish soup in his hand and placed it in the center of the table.
Yang Peng was busy in the kitchen, and Mr. Yang was on the sofa, fidgeting.
"Mr. Yang, you haven't gotten used to it after such a long time?" Li Ming smiled upon seeing this.
"This place is like a birdcage. I'm so used to it." Mr. Yang said dissatisfied: "There's no one to talk to on weekdays. I might as well move back."
Having said that, Mr. Yang He did not force him to move back. He also knew that Yang Peng's current status was unusual and it would not be good to move back.
"Alas...when Yu'er goes to school, I will be alone at home." Mr. Yang looked a little lonely.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will often have video calls with you. If you ask dad to install a holographic projection at home, then I will be no different from home."
Yang Yuman said indifferently, the girl had no parting sadness, only longing for the future.
"Haha, the outside world is so exciting, how can I still remember grandpa when the time comes." Mr. Yang grinned.
The four of them had lunch. At the dinner table, Yang Yu couldn't wait to ask: "Li Ming, haven't you been specially recruited by the Guard University?" Seeing Li Ming shaking his head, Yang Yu looked at his father and frowned. : "Dad, what's going on."
She still wants to go to Capital Star with Li Ming.
"How do I know?" Yang Peng looked puzzled. He couldn't control the Guard University.
After eating, he and Yang Peng went out together and headed to the Chengwei Building.
"The new minister has been confirmed. He has been transferred from other galaxies and is on the way. It is estimated that it will take more than a month to arrive." Yang Peng said casually on the floating car.
"Uncle Yang, we have to keep a low profile and don't let the new minister come to pay homage to the dock." Li Ming said seriously.
"You brat, I need you to remind me." Yang Peng was speechless, and then glared at him: "I almost got tricked into it. I'm a minister. It's okay if you don't give me some shoes to wear. What are you doing? "The dock."
"Ha..." Li Ming smiled, "You have hundreds of official records, so what are you afraid of?"
"What Baiguanxingshu...you mean that USB disk." Yang Peng's voice suddenly dropped and he sighed: "I don't know whether it is right or wrong."
Li Ming emphasized: "Of course That's right. How can we investigate those who have received one or two thousand star coins? If they are all investigated, Silver Gray City will still be unable to function. As long as they don't do it again in the future, it will be fine."
Yang Peng snorted: " I need you to comfort me.”
The USB flash drive appeared at their door not long ago. The surveillance probe didn’t capture anything, and the contents inside shocked Yang Peng even more.
But in the end he chose to hide it.
When they arrived at the Chengdu Building, the two parted ways, and Li Ming went to train. Although there was a [Thunder Equipment Ball], he didn't have to stay in the training room, but there was unlimited nutrient solution in the training room, so it would be in vain if he didn't use it.
“22%”
The progress was good, and Li Ming began to measure his own development progress for record purposes.
In the middle of the afternoon, someone came over and called him, saying that Yang Peng was looking for him.
Arriving at the top floor, in the office that originally belonged to Qin Xiao, Yang Peng saw him coming in and said helplessly: "It's Shizune again, right."
Li Ming shrugged.
Yang Peng really had no idea what to do with Li Ming, so he turned to him and said, "I just received a notice from the Capital Guard Academy. They want to recruit you specially and enter through the internal channels of the City Guard."
" School starts in the same batch as the freshmen, and you are about the same age, so prepare to buy a ticket."
Li Ming nodded, and then said: "Uncle Yang, please refuse for me."
"Yes. ...Huh?" Yang Peng was looking for something. Hearing this sentence, he couldn't help but look at Li Ming: "What did you say?"
"I will go to Capital University of Technology." Li Ming continued.
"Capital Institute of Technology!?" Yang Peng's voice raised a level.
"How...how did you get in?" He felt puzzled, and then suddenly realized something, and said in a deep voice: "Admission through special channels?"
"Yes."
"Shadow?" Yang Peng suddenly shouted, and Li Ming looked at him with eyes that were three parts puzzled, three parts confused, three parts stunned, and one part looking like a psychopath.
"...What did you say?"
"Nothing." Yang Peng shook his head, and then sneered in his heart, he was really hysterical.
"Which channel?" he asked.
“My father spent a lot of money to buy the letter of recommendation.” Li Ming explained.
"Brother Changhai..." The suspicion that had disappeared in Yang Peng's eyes surged up again, and he said solemnly: "You...tell me honestly, does my father have any secrets?"
"You also have doubts?" Li Ming looked shocked, "I have had this suspicion for a long time. His death was too strange. It has not been found out for so long. Even after you became the interim minister, you used a lot of resources. But still can't find any clues."
Yang Peng's face suddenly became embarrassed, feeling that Li Ming's next sentence was "What do you do for food?", his eyes wandered, and he said solemnly: "Okay, okay. I won't ask anymore. Let's go."
Li Ming stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly he heard Yang Peng say: "Yu'er, she doesn't know yet."
"That's right. No chance to say." Li Ming responded, vaguely hearing the sound of grinding his teeth.
Good boy, good boy... Yang Yu now desperately hopes that Li Ming can go to Capital Star with her.
But Li Ming didn't say anything, just hung it up, hoping for a surprise at the end.
My poor daughter was so manipulated by this boy.
"If you..." Yang Peng wanted to give a warning, but when he thought about it, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and it would take him more than a month to go back and forth, so the warning was useless.
Suddenly he lost interest and waved his hand: "Forget it, take care of her."
"Don't worry." Li Ming smiled.
.........
On August 16th, Silver Star's starport looked a little dilapidated, with only three connecting channels. There were mottled repair marks on the edge of the platform, and it looked like it had been hit several times.
On weekdays, there are basically no non-human races, and there are not many humans. The hall can be said to be empty. Even the most common interstellar voyage tickets cost no less than 10,000 star coins. .
Today is a bit more lively. The Ministry of Education of Silver Gray Star specially sent people here. Not only students from Capital Institute of Technology, but also students from other schools are all leaving today.
Provided by the Ministry of Education, there are discounts for purchased boat tickets.
The intertwining of excitement and sadness is also a rare scene. Yang Yu stood on tiptoe, looked around, and said uneasily: "Where is Li Ming, why didn't he come?"
"He hasn't told you yet?" It was rare to get away. , Yang Peng, who came to see me off, had a ferocious look on his face, "What a boy, why have you hung up for so long!"
"Tell me what?" Yang Yu frowned.
Yang Peng wanted to say it directly. He first looked at the anxiety and uneasiness in his daughter's brows, and then thought about how excited and happy she would be after seeing Li Ming later.
His lips pursed, but in the end he did not spoil the little surprise and said: "It's nothing... he may have something wrong."
"Oh." The light in Yang Yu's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he waved goodbye. Mr. Yang couldn't help but take a few steps forward, his eyes full of reluctance.
Boarding on the spaceship, she didn't bring much luggage. Yang Yu was a little lost, so she stuffed it into the luggage rack and sat by the porthole, holding her chin, worried.
"Dear passengers, welcome aboard the Piccolo starship. This voyage is five days and the destination is Xiaoyungang. Please do not make loud noises during the trip. During the rest, pay attention to your personal quality. I wish you a good journey. Pleasant."
"..."
With the beautiful prompt sound, the spacecraft gradually detached from the orbit, the gray-brown silver-gray stars shrank even smaller, deep pits and ravines were clearly visible, and atmospheric clouds were visible. The group was unpredictable, and boys and girls were lying in front of the portholes.
After the initial excitement, there was some silence in the cabin.
