Chapter 304 Upgrade Completed, Two Characteristics
The upgrade of Tanwei from B level to A level requires 9 million, but now to upgrade to S level, it already requires 100 million metal energy.
Let him absorb the metal energy of the black gold source stone and directly cut it in half. After removing the 90 million reserved for An Ye, there are only more than 20 million left.
Even the metal energy to control the Ascended Source Crystal is not enough.
This plan made Li Ming slightly confused, just like that... gone?
But it was only for a moment. Metal energy was used to enhance strength, and it would not grow on its own if left alone.
Control the Ascendant Source Crystal, but there is no rush. This thing is more important as a auxiliary function, which is very powerful in the long run.
But for now, let’s improve our strength first.
My mind moved slightly, and after following him for a long time, the battle-hardened Tanwei mecha appeared in front of me. The thick metal armor reflected a faint luster.
He was a little emotional, this was not only a mecha, but also his second body.
This upgrade will take it to a higher level, and as a Qinglong, the bullshit he boasts is also being realized step by step.
While thinking in his mind, his hand was already covering the surface of the Tanwei mecha, and the surging metal energy poured out from his fingers and poured into the Tanwei's body.
The golden electric arc suddenly exploded, and its surface metal structure began to disintegrate, like scattered catkins, and surrounded its body like a star ring.
Ion fluctuations surged, and the metal skeleton and energy pipelines were re-laid, transforming into new metal materials and structures.
The latest Titan Stone was consumed silently, perhaps because the upgrade route has already been chosen, and this time it only needs to be continuously strengthened, so there are no special prompts during the upgrade process.
Li Ming now has a very good understanding of the differences in upgrade routes. Tanwei's strengthening route is embodied, so it will not have any digital blessing, but the material strength will be improved accordingly.
Vice versa, the use of internal control will weaken the strength of the material and increase the data blessing.
Of course, this kind of weakening and enhancement is compared to items of the same level.
The upgrade took a long time. After more than ten minutes, the dazzling light gradually faded away, and what appeared in place was a completely different and luxurious body.
The appearance has changed significantly. The height is now close to three meters. The whole body is the most blazing golden color, and there are also complicated black lines.
But it doesn't look bloated. The streamlined body, the armor joints are tightly connected, and it looks more concise. There is a hexagonal crystal structure on the chest, shimmering with light, and it has finally been upgraded to an energy engine.
The edges and corners are sharp, and the details of each piece of armor are extremely delicate, revealing the beauty of top-notch mechanical craftsmanship, just like a work of art.
[Tanwei--S level: cutting-edge combat mecha, focusing on defense.
……
Characteristics-Stoneskin: Gain 30% damage reduction.
Characteristics - Thorns: Any form of attack will be reflected 30% back to the sender. 】
Li Ming's eyes widened slightly, the second characteristic?
He thought that this Titan Stone had no special effect, but in the end, it did something big without making any noise, and it actually brought about a second characteristic.
The characteristic of [Thorns] is that it can retaliate against damage. When combined with a tank guard that has strengthened its defense to the extreme, it can achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two.
Hitting me is equivalent to hitting yourself.
However, enhancing the characteristics was far more difficult than he imagined. Defense damage reduction only increased by 5%.
"Could it be because of the route problem? After all, the metal energy is used to strengthen the materials of the tank guards. If it were another route, the data improvement should be obvious." He pondered, but he was already very satisfied.
Full of expectations, he immediately entered the cockpit and then possessed him.
In an instant, the field of vision was enlarged, and a very clear feeling of power expansion came from everywhere. Li Ming raised his metal arm and slowly closed his palm, feeling that the palm of his hand was holding enough power to explode the starry sky.
Even if it is used specifically for defense, its own strength is terrifying. No A-level lifeform can block a punch.
He tried to raise his hand, but it immediately caused a gust of wind and the air exploded. He didn't even exert any force.
But soon he exited the possession and turned pale.
"The loss of physical strength is too scary." Li Ming's heart was beating fast, and he was almost drained by just moving like this. This also gave him a toothache, "Isn't there an energy engine?"
He looked at the energy engine on the tank guard's chest and tried it cautiously. He found that even with the assistance provided by the energy engine, it still required a lot of physical strength.
"This is consumed by possessing an S-class control object. It is not essentially required for the activities of the tandem guard. It's just that the tangent guard did not have an energy engine before, so I confused them." Li Ming pondered.
But if it weren't for this energy engine, he might not even be able to move.
After all, the fuel for the energy engine does not appear out of thin air. It must be filled externally in advance, or his physical strength must be drained.
Li Ming only felt a toothache, and then activated [Heart of Talos], superimposing all the blessings on his physical strength. This time, he suddenly had the illusion of straightening his back.
It is indeed an illusion. Although it won't stop if you move it, it won't last long.
“I estimate that after obtaining a Grade A life form and combining it with the Heart of Talos, I can probably use it freely.”
Li Ming couldn't help but feel helpless. There was nothing he could do about it. He himself was a B-level life form, and the gap was too big.
"And this Titan Stone..." Li Ming muttered, the name of the sublime was different from the name given by the control system.
Although there is only one piece, it already has a name. Regardless of whether it is a Titan or Terrax, there should be clues in the Land of Chaos.
When he came out of the cockpit, he couldn't help but touch the brand new Tanwei. The cold and delicate metal touch made Li Ming fall in love with it.
Finally, he reluctantly put them away. After handling these metal materials, he had time to look at other things.
Among these special materials, the largest one is as tall as a person, and contains an irregular oval jade-white stone with various strange symbols on it, shining with fluorescence.
“This is a psychic runestone from the Eternal Yao Federation. Its special radiation force field can make mental power highly active, thereby better developing supernatural powers.” The control core explained.
Li Ming's eyes moved slightly. Except for physical powers, the control of most powers was driven by mental power.
This thing is definitely a good thing for developing abilities.
"There seem to be a lot of superpowers in the Yongyao Federation..." Li Ming muttered, then looked at other things. There were also bottles and jars containing various liquids.
According to the control core's explanation, most of these are precious supernatural catalytic agents.
"It's all related to supernatural powers..." The value of these things for Li Ming is certainly not low, but he himself has no use for them.
It’s not a disappointment, after all, these things can be sold even if they are not used.
Just looking at the things on the ground, he was a little worried, "How to take it out quietly."
Even if he has upgraded the tank guard now, he does not think that he He could openly admit that he had searched the core ruins.
He didn't forget that there were two S-class life forms staring at him at the end.
But his folding space is already stretched, it is stuffed with all kinds of things, almost full. "By the way, there is also the one in Gabriel's hand..." Li Ming's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered that the silver pendant he took out from his arms was a triangle with a blood-stained dagger logo in the center.
It also has some kind of verification, it is a kind of mental fluctuation that is almost impossible to disguise, and he cannot open it.
Li Ming is already familiar with this, directly consuming nine million metal energy to control it.
After placing it in the control column, you can feel a folding space. Li Ming raised his eyebrows, and his prediction was correct.
All the data and abilities are the same. The only reason why the metal energy required to control the ring of Isius is three times different is because of the size of the folding space.
The folding space of Isius's one is only five cubes, but this one has twenty-five cubes.
The space gap is five times, but the control requirements are only three times more.
Every time there is a little more folding space, the technical requirements have to go up a level.
It seems that the gap is five times the space, but the actual value gap is simply too huge.
“This thing is probably worth a lot of money.” Li Ming suddenly thought, but he couldn’t sell it.
After opening it and rummaging around for a while, Gabriel put a lot of things inside.
Some development potions, a few USB flash drives, and some clothes, nothing too precious.
In other words, as far as Li Ming is concerned, there is nothing too precious.
But he was satisfied that with such a large space, there would be no problem in taking these things out.
………
“Can you still bear it?” Asmara put away the smart terminal, frowned, and stared at the distant battle line.
She has become like this. More than thirty hours after the undercurrent of the star stream passed, the joint shield has not been reorganized, but the Arbitrator's fleet has been hesitant.
"Your Excellency Albert has been transferred away by me..."
Antonio has been reluctant to attack. If they don't attack, what about the S-class life forms...
As soon as this thought emerged, Asmara's face changed slightly, and a black-red meteor suddenly broke into the field of vision. , approaching at an incredible speed!
An inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly arose in Asmara's heart.
But she breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally put down the fire and ignited it.
This sudden black-red meteor exudes a trembling and powerful momentum, and is extremely fast, far beyond the comparison of A-level life forms.
From the moment he appeared, all the warships in the combined fleet sounded piercing sirens without stopping.
The black and red meteors are coming, and they obviously have no good intentions.
The expressions of the A-level life forms along the way changed drastically, and they launched elemental attacks one after another at the black-red meteor.
However, this black-red meteor was not only fast, but also agile. It passed through a large number of battleships, causing a series of explosions and flames, and headed straight for the star-circling crown guard.
“Stop him!” A purple light suddenly rushed over. It seemed to be an A-level life form of the Etlan civilization, but compared to the light of the black-red meteor, it was like the gap between the sun and the moon.
Reiner just laughed ferociously and did not dodge or dodge. Two streams of light, one large and one small, of different colors, quickly closed in. The next moment, they suddenly collided.
The purple flames exploded like rocks that were hit hard by a hammer.
The A-level life form was like a top, spinning and shooting out. The splattered blood was directly evaporated by the energy aftermath of the collision.
But he was not dead, just seriously injured.
Reiner controlled his strength and smacked his lips.
His speed did not slow down, and he crossed most of the war zone in the blink of an eye, heading straight towards the ring guard.
"Hey..." Reina, who was wrapped in the black-red energy radiance, suddenly grinned, as if he noticed something.
On the other side, a silver stream of light also shot into the battlefield at extremely high speed, but it was obviously slower than him.
"Alert..."
The red light flashed in the command room, all the commanders turned pale, but Asmara breathed a long sigh of relief.
The next moment, the black-red meteor suddenly broke through the surface shield of the Ring Guard, and shot straight in from below with an unstoppable force. That was the location of the energy module, and then penetrated the entire hull.
Following this, fierce green flames spread from the energy cabin, and then exploded like a line of fire, igniting the entire Ring Guard.
A blazing flame exploded.
In the black-red flames, Reina looked down and saw the core ruins that remained motionless in the flames, and then looked in another direction.
But just as he turned his head, the silver meteor was already approaching. Reina did not dodge this time, but rushed forward, with veins popping out on his four arms.
The streams of light collided, and all the battleships in the field gave out harsh energy level warnings.
At the point where the two collided, a dazzling bright light suddenly lit up, as if a flickering solar halo bloomed out of thin air. Violent energy fluctuations rolled out, black, red and silver intertwined, sweeping around.
Some warships that were relatively close were even blown away, their surface shields flickering.
Reiner laughed silently, as if he was mocking the other party, and his mental fluctuations surged out: "Albert, why haven't you made any progress?"
Evolved to this level, even without awakening powers, A highly developed brain can also produce mental power independently, but the effect is definitely not stronger than that of a person with special powers.
At most, it can shock ordinary living beings and send messages in the dead space of the universe.
The silver light faded away, revealing a humanoid life form with an indifferent expression. His hair was silver-white, and even his pupils were the same.
Wearing simple combat armor, it is obviously just for auxiliary purposes. The metal shell of the fists has been twisted.
Albert looked back at the gradually extinguishing fireworks, and figures gradually flew out from the wreckage of the Ring Guard.
Looking at the Arbitrator battleship that had rejoined the battlefield and the predators fishing in troubled waters, his eyes gradually became cold.
"Ha..." Reina also looked away from the battle line and said cheerfully: "I'll beat the drowned dog. I don't know if the rest of your fleet can hold it."
Asmara Flying out of the flames, he looked quite embarrassed, with scars all over his skin.
Ford is wearing armor and looks fine.
Looking left and right, I saw a headless and charred corpse floating in the starry sky, with deformed limbs and gradually covered with a layer of ice crystals. I swallowed and spit.
