Chapter 178 The devil who plays with people's hearts
"A few friends." Li Ming explained, "Thank you for your help."
As if a disaster was imminent, Blake, who was covered in cold sweat, couldn't help but feel sad when he heard these words. He was stunned for a moment, then slowly exhaled.
"Friends?"
The reactions of several people fell into Ulrich's eyes. His expression was meaningful, but he did not say much and looked back.
In Blake's heart, he couldn't help but feel grateful to have survived the disaster.
Although before arriving, he talked about how he and others relied on the Interstellar Alliance and were not afraid of even A-level life forms, Blake clearly knew that it was just talk.
If they succeed and escape, it is indeed unlikely that the Collector will go out of the Land of Stars to hunt them down.
But similarly, if they are killed by the Collector here, it is unlikely that the Star Alliance will do anything for them.
Moreover, depending on how much the Collector attaches importance to this person, if he and others had really taken action just now, this A-level life form might really rush out of the land of stars to hunt them down.
It could be said that their life or death depended on this person's thoughts, but the other person's words saved their lives.
Thinking of this, Blake's mentality changed subtly, and his eyes when looking at Li Ming became much more complicated.
He is not a bad person, but rather upright. If the grace of saving his life is right in front of him, then this matter will be difficult to handle.
Yaro's hanging heart was relieved. He didn't want to see Li Ming and the people of the Star Alliance killing each other. A considerable part of the current situation was caused by him.
If Blake and others died, he would not know how to face himself.
Ulrich, on the other hand, said to Li Ming: "Don't worry, the trouble has been solved. Sandro will probably not attack you again in the future."
"Thank you." Li Ming said "gratefully", Ulrich smiled, but he was also a little surprised.
Sandro's men were discovered by Qinglong before they even landed on the floating island, and they could be sure that the other party was coming towards him. This ability is not simple.
But Ulrich felt that the situation was still under control, so he didn’t pay too much attention. Instead, he looked up at the Red River Star Waterfall, “I almost forgot, this is your first time to participate in the Red River Star Waterfall. If you are too familiar, you won’t gain much. Let me help you.”
“That’s the best thing.” Li Ming nodded immediately.
Blake and others next to them tried their best to reduce their presence, and they were even more surprised when they heard what Ulrich said.
Being a bodyguard is not enough, you also need to be a nanny?
Blake didn't quite understand. How could the man in front of him be so valued by Ulrich when he had just arrived in the Land of Stars?
Ulrich smiled, his posture always elegant. He raised his hand, as if grabbing an invisible curtain, and suddenly pulled it down, and a raging terrifying aura gushed out.
Up close, everyone could feel the power of the A-level life forms. Just the aftermath left them breathless.
The boundless Red River star stream was rippled in some areas, and more than a dozen meteors were pulled out. The red stream of light was dazzling, and it seemed to be annihilating the world, heading towards this small floating island.
Blake's heart palpitated, and the pressure that hit his face even made it difficult for him to breathe. The entire floating island was shrouded in shadow, as if it would be smashed to pieces in the next moment.
Ulrich clenched his fists, and in an instant, all the meteors stopped in mid-air, stopped falling, and slowly rotated.
The red light faded, and various wreckage and building ruins emerged. The most eye-catching one was the wreckage of a super large main ship.
Li Ming's expression was tense. The A-level life form was more terrifying than he expected.
It can change the ecological environment on a large scale, destroy continental plates, and give them a certain amount of time to wipe out all life forms on the surface of the planet. The destructive power is amazing.
"Ha..." Ulrich chuckled, "I'm lucky, I actually have a super large main ship, and the scrap materials are worth hundreds of millions."
Because Ulrich Rixi's own ability seems to be related to gravity. Every time he reaches the Red River Star Falls, he basically gains the most without wasting even a minute or a second.
The strange behavior of turning back halfway this time attracted the attention of many living beings.
There are many predators on gravity ships who have been observing the scene here remotely through optical eyepieces.
"The Collector seems to be catching meteors for that small floating island. Sandro seemed to have appeared just now..."
"It's really strange. Who is that guy? He looks pretty cool."
"It's the mechanic - Qinglong. No wonder it closed down. It turned out that he was hired by the collector. Many people had speculated before that he might be a great mechanic."
"I heard that this person Killed Star Hunter's Atom..."
"That poisonous snake is dead? No wonder I haven't seen him recently."
Discussions rang out in various channels, and many interstellar villains who originally didn't know about the "Blue Dragon Mechanic" gradually got a general understanding of it.
"Great Mechanic..." Sabo sat on the chair, swiping the smart terminal, and the discussion about Qinglong kept refreshing one after another.
There seemed to be a little fire in his cloudy eyes, "If you are a great mechanic, you might be able to do it."
......
Ulri on the floating island Xi has left and continues to use his ability to pull a large number of meteors from the Red River Star Falls.
The duration of the Red River Star Waterfall this time was not long, only a day and a half. Li Ming made a rough estimate.
Ulrich pulled at least more than two hundred meteors, which was an astonishing number.
He was even more astonished. No wonder an A-level life form that didn't kill much and loved collecting things would be hidden in the Land of Stars. This was simply a super treasure.
Even if most of them are useless waste products, there is no cost to pay.
After it is over, most of the things will flow into the pockets of collectors.
The villains who hang out in the land of stars don't have any good eyesight. It's not just the collector who says how much it is, but it doesn't take much effort anyway.
Over time, the accumulation of collectors is terrifying.
"No wonder there are thousands of mother minerals..." Li Ming marveled. With the end of the Red River Star Waterfall, the floating island in the Land of Stars also returned to its original position.
This is not a big event, it can only be said to be a small episode in the land of stars.
On Li Ming's small floating island, the wreckage and ruins are fixed by a gravity grabbing device, waiting to be processed.
And Black and others are on pins and needles, neither can they leave, nor can they stay here.
"Continue chatting?" Li Ming asked proactively and took them back to the room.
Yaro also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Li Ming and could only watch helplessly.
"Thank you for saving my life just now." Blake thanked him first.
Li Ming smiled and said with a hint of ridicule: "You are from the Interstellar Alliance. If you really die here, I won't be able to tell you."
Blake's old face turned a little red, and several others looked at each other, wondering why this was completely different from what they had planned when they came.
The target has become a lifesaver, how to start? Blake hesitated, then gritted his teeth: "I, Blake, am not an ungrateful person, but Kay..."
"You can't take Kay away for the time being." Li Ming shook his head, "The price I want is "You can't afford it."
"Then you should give me a price."
"Ten billion star coins, black hole network transactions." Li Ming spat out a few words.
“You!” The person behind Blake looked gloomy, as if he wanted to say something, but was holding back his face until his face turned red.
The grace of saving my life is so close before my eyes, I really can’t shout out.
Blake was also quite uncomfortable and gave a forced smile: "Your Excellency, there is no use keeping him. The price is really beyond negotiation."
He could foresee that if he really took this If you quote the price, you will definitely be scolded.
Li Ming found it quite funny. These people were quite interesting. He didn't let the collector kill them, but these guys became numb.
I'm embarrassed to say harsh words, I'm in a dilemma.
Moral people are easy to handle.
Kay is indeed useless to him, but it is still very good for fishing for the Star Alliance.
The Interstellar Alliance is indeed a behemoth. Although the anti-predator department is only a part of it, the resources it can use are quite amazing.
Keep this bait so that the other party will keep in contact with him.
He can also do many things with the help of the opponent's resources, such as B-level gene seeds, or some intelligence.
Of course, if the other party really gives him 10 billion, it can be a one-time deal.
"To be honest with you, I have grown to appreciate Kai very much during this time. Let him stay with me for a while. I will contact you when he wants to leave." Li Ming The words already have the meaning of chasing away guests.
Blake hesitated to speak, already feeling that Li Ming's purpose of keeping Kai was not because of himself, but because he had thoughts about them.
But he had no choice but to say: "Okay..."
"Let's exchange contact information and keep in touch at any time." Li Ming further said.
Blake's expression became even more miserable. If the other party asked for information or the like in the future, could he refuse?
After exchanging contact information, Blake left worriedly.
Seeing them leaving, Yaro was really relieved.
Kaye remained silent during this process. Even though he knew that Blake and others might have taken him away, he did not act excessively.
It was only after Blake and others left that he asked Yaro: "Aren't you one of theirs? Why did you hide your identity on purpose?"
Yaro opened his mouth and said helplessly. : "I can't help myself."
Kay was thoughtful and suddenly strode towards Li Ming's room.
“What are you doing?” Yaro’s face twitched and he hurriedly followed.
Li Ming came out of the room and met Kai and Yaro who looked anxious. He raised his eyebrows.
"Do you want the evolution theory of the Judgment Holy Blade and the Secret Secret of Liberation?" Kai looked solemn.
"Oh." Li Ming became interested and let the two of them into the room. After closing the door, he asked with interest: "Did you refuse strictly before? How come you suddenly figured it out?"
"Learned from you." Kai looked at people with his nose, because under the mimic mask, his vertical pupils were just above his nose.
"You show your own value and make collectors value you very much, and you also take the opportunity to solve the hidden danger of star hunters." Kay analyzed:
"And this is your initiative. You may have to do a lot of things with the collector's power in the future. You don't mind that you may be under the threat of the collector. You have to give up."
"I Already an exiled nobleman, apart from his own identity, the most valuable things are the genetic sequence, the theory of evolution and the Secret of Liberation."
"Now that the matter is over, I have nothing to lose, so I might as well use these things. Get enough benefits for yourself."
Yaro listened to Kai's tirade and looked at him in surprise.
The smile on Li Ming's face became stronger and stronger, "It's interesting, so what do you want to change?"
"Release me to the Star Alliance. If necessary, I may need your help." Kai said solemnly.
"How can I help you?" Li Ming rubbed his chin.
"Revenge!" Kay gritted his teeth, "I want revenge, I want to take back everything that belongs to me, I want those people to die without a burial place!"
"Very good. "Li Ming applauded, and Kai looked slightly moved, "You agreed?"
"Since you want to learn, let me teach you one more thing, don't expose your needs to anyone prematurely. "Li Ming said noncommittally:
"For example, this time, your desire for revenge is too obvious. This is your weakness."
"I now know your weakness and threaten you. If you don't give me what I want, I will I will always treat you like this, and I won’t kill you. I just keep you by my side so that you can do nothing and waste time.”
“It must be very difficult for a person who is eager for revenge but can’t do anything. Torture me."
Kay panicked and calmed down: "The Interstellar Alliance will continue to negotiate with you, there is no need for you to keep me."
Li Ming said with a smile. But people are greedy, I may want more, or I just have a bad taste.”
"Also, how long can your anger for revenge last forever?"
Kay was silent. He had already discovered this. Although he has been wearing a gene suppressor, this kind of thing is useless. Thinking about it, the life of just following the arrangements was very comfortable, and even made him feel nostalgic.
"So, no matter what you want to do or do, don't disclose it to others unless you already have a plan." Li Ming added.
"I have learned the lesson." Kay bowed, let out a long sigh, and then said with a little excitement, "So, you agreed?"
There was something in his words. Very respectful.
Li Ming grinned, "Promise, promise to what? You don't understand what I mean, I'm threatening you."
"Hand over the theory of evolution, and I can open the gene suppressor for you, so that you can develop Gene Seed, this is a painful process. I believe that during this painful process, you will make the fire of revenge stronger and stronger."
The corners of Yaro's mouth twitched crazily, staring at Kai closely, for fear that he would suddenly. Crazy.
Kay obviously didn't react, and then his face showed a complex reaction of multiple emotions. After being silent for a long time, he said hoarsely: "Okay, I agree."
Li Ming threw out a USB flash drive, and at the same time unlocked the gene suppressor on his body, and gave a slight warning: "We are all under house arrest by the Collector. Don't try to leave here, otherwise I won't be able to save you."
"I understand." Kai looked expressionless and turned to leave.
