Chapter 212 [Alienated Energy] Choice of Upgrade Route
"After repairing this Star King, the next step is to slowly play with those few." Li Ming secretly thought about it and gradually merged into the crowd.
On the street not far away, Qinglong's figure suddenly disappeared.
Hui Tong, who was secretly following, suddenly twitched his eyelids, then suddenly turned around and saw Qinglong at the end of the street.
His figure instantly appeared behind him, and before he could speak, he heard the other party say: "Don't be so nervous, I'm just not used to being followed."
Huitong said nothing, secretly surprised, what kind of method is this?
Obviously he had followed Ulrich from his castle without changing his attention for a moment, but he was still deceived.
His A-level gene seed is called [Ubus Star Spirit], and his eyes have the initial ability to capture information states.
The information state is produced by the interweaving of each living body with the cosmic environment. It is not a taste, but a trace of existence.
Even for an A-level life form, it is difficult to reach this level. He could only barely capture the information state and could not distinguish it specifically.
But even so, it is already very powerful, at least no one can lurk in front of him.
No...
He suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask: "More than ten days ago, I secretly sneaked into your studio. Did you discover me at that time? "
"What infiltration?" Li Ming asked, what Theo followed at the beginning was just [Mimetic Projection].
Theo frowned, stared at him for a long time, shook his head and said: "It's nothing."
This person became more and more shadowy in his heart.
At the same time, while the two were wasting their time, the surroundings had become noisy, and many plunderers were pointing at them, obviously recognizing them.
Li Ming has finished his business and returned to the Steel Castle.
Less than twenty-four hours after the incident, Ulrich's steel castle has begun to be repaired.
As soon as Li Ming walked in from the door of the hall, he heard a wail.
"Master Collector, there is nothing I can do. I have fought until the last moment. Look at the wounds on my body."
Brown knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, covered in blood, and seemed to be seriously injured. look.
“Those mechanics were so cruel. I blocked them with my body, but they turned a blind eye and walked straight over my body!”
Brown’s two big eyes were filled with tears. Cassis narrated expressionlessly next to her, "A total of 114 items were lost during maintenance, and 112 items were recovered."
"Those escaping mechanics left the Steel Castle as soon as possible. , snatched the starship at the port, and it is no longer possible to get them back.”
Brown shivered and looked at Ulrich pitifully, "Sir, I am loyal to you, but my small body..."
Ulrich frowned and did not respond, but looked at Sandro on the side.
“It’s not him.” Sandro shook his head with contempt: “This guy’s bones are too soft, who can feel comfortable buying him?”
Ulrich waved his hand impatiently. , Cassis took Brown down, and then added the man behind him.
"Oh, it seems to be him." Sandro's eyes brightened slightly and he pointed at the human in front of him.
"Morpheus, senior staff member of the Security Department." Cassis frowned.
Morpheus's face turned pale and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Master Collector, I don't understand what Mr. Sandro is talking about. I have never been in contact with Mr. Sandro."
"Are you also qualified to contact me?" Sandro sneered.
Ulrich's face was indifferent, Cassis took him to another location, where several people were already standing, with trance-like eyes, seemingly still alive.
Is this a search for a mole, and the enemy boss personally identified it?
These people were bribed by Sandro, and they were really unlucky for eight lifetimes.
Li Ming looked at it for a while and couldn't help but shake his head.
When Ulrich noticed that they were back, his expression was a little ugly. This scene of cleaning up the house was somewhat embarrassing.
"It's okay, you continue." Li Ming found a good position and watched with interest.
Ulrich felt awkward and snorted coldly, "The entire security department will be executed."
"Alas, life forms are so untrustworthy." The burly Sandro shook his head, "Do you know what conditions Rob gave them? Five million star coins, just five million star coins, will allow you to collect The door to my lair is open.”
“I have a suggestion, it’s better to build a few mechanical bodies. There is no metal in these living bodies that is trustworthy. I have some here. How about giving you a 20% discount? "Li Ming spoke at the right time.
Ulrich's face was dark. He still remembered the ghost programs on the mechanical bodies around Li Ming. Who would dare to use them?
Using these life forms, the other party would still have to spend some money, but using those mechanical forms, Qinglong didn't even have to spend any money.
Theo, who had been following Li Ming, lowered his head and glanced at the smart terminal, frowning and said: "My people just got the news that three hours ago, the combined fleet lost track in the Bardoro system. ”
The three A-level life forms present, the people under Theo, were relatively organized.
Li Ming's heart moved slightly.
"Lost the trace?" Ulrich looked over, "What happened?"
"I don't know yet, but they were encircling and suppressing a small organization supported by the Torch." Theo added.
"Never mind them, contact Torch first." Sandro shook his head, and Ulrich looked at Li Ming, "There is a main gun missing in the maintenance room."
"Main gun?" Li Ming looked puzzled, and then suddenly realized, "The one that was removed from some main ship?"
"It seems to be nearly a hundred meters long. Who takes that thing?" He was quite surprised. .
"Huh?" Sandro was surprised and laughed again, "Maybe it's those stupid predators. The dismantled main gun is useless."
Ulrich's eyes Blink, he had already inquired generally, no Marauder had seen the main gun.
However, that thing is really useless. He originally sold it as an accessory.
Ulrich had many things to deal with and had no time to pay attention to them.
Most of the steel castle was broken, but a small part remained intact. He picked a room and destroyed all the monitoring and listening equipment inside.
Took out the smart terminal, opened the black hole network, found Ford's account, and sent a message - "Why did the United Fleet suddenly disappear?"
There was no response at the first time, and neither did Li Ming. If you care, put it down for the moment and turn to the control page.
Now I am finally free and able to process the mother ore in space.
Put your hands into your arms, absorbing the small ones first, and developing the gene seeds at the same time.
Time passed, and after about twelve hours, he finally absorbed all the mother ore in the folded space.
After removing the 100 yuan consumed, there are 1,247 yuan left.
A familiar prompt pops up on the control page, asking whether to consume a thousand mother ores to reduce the cooldown of switching control objects.
This is what Li Ming was waiting for. He clicked OK without hesitation, taking control of one side of the page, and the dense text disappeared line by line.
The half-hour switching cooldown has been reduced again, directly to 15 minutes, which is already very short. Subsequent actions are also more convenient, and there is no need to carefully calculate the time.
There are 247 special energy left in case of emergency, which is enough.
Finally, the three-dimensional crystals were absorbed very slowly, and it took an hour to be completely absorbed.
A prompt popped up on the control page - [Alienated Energy Detected] "Huh?" He looked at the control page and saw that a single column of alienated energy was not arranged under the dim and uncertain divine energy.
He seemed to remember, isn't this thing called divine energy?
How has it changed?
Li Ming was quite strange and thought about it carefully.
Alienated energy is the carrying energy needed to upgrade A-level control objects, and it is not the same thing as divine energy.
"Tsk..." Li Ming was greatly surprised. It seemed that there was a difference in this dimensional crystal.
That divine energy seems to come from Super Istanbul.
As his life level increased and his horizons opened, he began to understand more and more what level of power the so-called tearing apart the planet of Super Istanbul was, and this was achieved under severe interference from the main universe.
No wonder the Torch Organization firmly believed at that time that this move could defeat the Etlan civilization.
It should be related to the level of dimensional creatures that are the source of dimensional crystals, Li Ming guessed.
Absorb the other two dimensional crystals and obtain three copies of alienated energy.
He was a little eager to give it a try. He glanced at the control page and felt the urge to consume directly.
However, he quickly suppressed this impulse and began to combine himself. Currently, he only has three copies of alienated energy, so he cannot blindly upgrade and requires reasonable planning.
He will soon become a B-class life form. His main combat power system is to possess the [Felos Warlord-level mecha] with the help of the [Mechanical Iron Cavalry] ability and the blessing of many control objects.
However, due to the use of materialization, one of his important explosive methods [Thunder Fever] cannot be used.
So, the first one is to upgrade his old friend, the Tan Guard, to replace the [Feros Warrior General Mecha]
[Tanwei] accompanied him all the way from Silver Gray Star, which is considered a great reward for his hard work.
Using alienated energy does not increase the cost of upgrading, but with the infusion of nine million metal energy——
[The Tanwei mecha is about to be upgraded to A level, please choose to upgrade. route.
Present
Control]
Li Ming looked at the pop-up prompt, and it was reasonable to see that having additional effects was not a simple upgrade.
B-level weapons and A-level weapons in the real world do not all require mother ore or dimensional crystals as materials.
Using these when upgrading will bring additional strengthening effects. Li Ming is not too surprised because he has experience in mother ore strengthening.
“These two routes correspond to embodied use and controlled use.” Li Ming pondered, [Feros Warrior-level mecha] was repaired to an A-level mecha, so there is no such prompt .
The original purpose was to use [Tanwei] mainly as a manifestation, so the [Embodiment] upgrade route was naturally chosen.
The prompt disappeared. On the control page, the icon of the Tanwei mecha was covered with golden light. The metal on the surface of the mecha fell off, revealing the complex mechanical structure inside.
The old material was absorbed by the golden light, and then transformed into liquid metal, slowly covering the surface of the mecha. The overall color changed from orange-yellow, almost light gold, to a unique golden color.
The surface shows a subtle metallic luster, as if it is composed of countless small metal pieces forming a dynamic pattern.
[Tanwei--A level: advanced combat mecha, focusing on defense.
……
Manifest ability - Stoneskin: Increases damage reduction by 25%. 】
It turns out to be this kind of effect, the ability to manifest?
Li Ming was surprised that all the data blessings he controlled had disappeared. After careful understanding, he found that [manifest ability] was an ability that could directly act on the body of the controlled object.
However, it was still his physical strength that was consumed.
"It should be strengthened by the use of materialization, then these data blessings are useless." Li Ming thought to himself.
The metal energy required to control an object is generally determined by the control effect and its own material.
Since there is no data blessing, it must be greatly strengthened, not to mention the ability of [Stone Skin] that can be realized and used.
Evolved from the ability obtained by strengthening the mother ore, it is simple and crude, directly reducing damage by 25%.
Raising his hand, the Tanwei mecha suddenly appeared. The whole body became bigger, about 2.5 meters, with sharp edges and corners. New armor structures appeared in many parts. It was thicker and had complicated patterns. It didn’t seem to be the same. Simplicity is just decoration.
With a slight tap, a thumping sound is activated. It focuses on defense, and its defensive performance is probably several times that of [Feros]. I am afraid Sandro is no longer able to break through the defense that easily.
As for the offensive ability, he smiled. With [Thunder Fever], the overall data that can be converted is now nearly a hundred times stronger.
If you become a B-level life form, cooperate with [Tan Guard] and use the blessing of [Thunder Frenzy],
Tsk...
He imagined, B-level life form It's close at hand, and a control bar will be unlocked when the time comes.
By the way, there is also the [Extreme Transformation] that was intercepted last time. I don’t know what kind of changes it will bring.
Instead, he needs to find the Secret Code of Liberation. His current theory of evolution and the Secret Code of Liberation are both Grade B, so there is little urgency.
Having time to slowly complete it, many thoughts passed through his mind and he suppressed them.
The next upgrade is [Silver Gray Particles], which is considered a semi-auxiliary type, not other main combat control objects.
What he is thinking about now is battery life and using various abilities. The consumption of driving A-class armor is too great. If he doesn't improve battery life, he will really become a man in seconds.
The [Silver Gray Particles] can not only strengthen the control object, but also increase physical strength, which is perfect.
As for the route, choose control, because the ability of [Silver Gray Particles] is manifested through the control column and does not occupy the control column.
This is the most cost-effective.
Another eight million metal energy was thrown in, along with a portion of alienated energy. The [silver gray particles] boiled and transformed from the inside. The nanoparticles were wrapped in golden energy and transformed into complete silver.
[Silver Gray Particles--Class A: Special nanoparticles, no one knows its origin.
……
Control effect: Characteristics - [Physical Surge]
Control ability - Fusion: Silver particles can be fused with any control object of the same level to improve its performance without occupying the control column]
Has it actually transformed into a characteristic?
Li Ming's heart moved slightly and he looked carefully.
[Surge of physical strength: Bless 600% physical strength, and reduce the speed of physical strength loss by 25%. 】
Phew~ Li Ming grinned, okay, very powerful, just what he wanted.
After consuming 17 million, watching the metal energy change from four to two, he felt a little heartbroken, but it actually improved his strength.
As for the last alienated energy, he has not used it for the time being. These control objects are enough for now and are reserved for emergencies.
After dealing with these, what he needs to wait for is the improvement of development progress. For him, B-class life forms are a qualitative leap.
C-class life forms cannot exert the power of these controls at all, and he is looking forward to it more and more.
