Chapter 328 The final control and repair of materials
"The Phantom Thief of the Stars? This name is good enough..." Li Ming looked at the pop-up dialog box, which showed that the other party had accepted his reward.
Although his name is second-rate, Li Ming is quite excited. The bounty posted in the black hole palace is not something that can be accepted casually.
If there is no reason why, applying for court arbitration will cost the other party a lot.
After establishing a dialogue connection, the Phantom Thief was also very direct, "Your Majesty Shadow, can you please elaborate on the generous reward you mentioned in the reward?"
Li Ming's eyes flashed, and he clicked on the other party's profile and took a look. He found that this guy was a senior member, at least a B-level life form. He had completed more than a hundred bounties or rescue missions, and had never violated the rules of the palace.
There are also more than a dozen thumbs up, which are all evaluations of the task partners.
After the task is over, there is only one evaluation option: praise or not. Being able to get more than a dozen indicates that the overall quality and reputation are very good.
The paper information looked very good and seemed trustworthy. Li Ming thought to himself, and did not ask what level of information the other party had. He answered directly:
"If it's just With some crude information or rumors, and supported by relevant evidence, I will give you a C-level weapon that can be customized.”
"If I have detailed coordinates or origin information, I can give you a B-class weapon that can be customized."
"Hey, you are rich and powerful..." Robin looked at the information on the screen and marveled: " With just the coordinates and origin, you can customize a B-class weapon."
"It seems that this thing is really valuable." He looked at the stone in his hand and quickly replied: "If there is a real thing, it is. Can't you get an A-level weapon?"
Li Ming frowned, "A real thing?"
He thought for a moment and typed two words: "Okay."
"A-level weapons, all for..." Robin sat up straighter, with a serious look on his face.
I put the black stone in my hand and looked at it carefully. Apart from being warm to the touch, I couldn't see anything special about it.
Then two words popped up on the screen, "Cannot be customized."
Robin didn't care about this, thinking about it, hesitating in his heart, looked at the skull and asked: " Butler, throw this thing out, I won't regret it in the future, right?"
"No," the steward said briefly.
When Robin heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and without saying much, he just took a photo and went over.
"It really does exist..." Li Ming's eyes sparkled as he looked at the photos on the screen. Although the shapes were different, the color and material were very similar.
At least you can’t tell any difference from the photos.
Then, the Black Hole Palace popped up a thoughtful reminder, "In order to avoid unnecessary losses and barter transactions, it is recommended to meet offline."
"I am in the Chaotic Star Gap, Where are you?" the other party asked.
This kind of thing must be verified in person to ensure that there is no problem.
Whether he sends the things first or the other party sends the reward first, it is unrealistic.
"I am also in the Chaotic Star Gap." Li Ming replied.
"That's just right, it saves time." Robin didn't care much, "You come to me, or I go to yours."
"Come to me, there's something to do next , I may not be able to leave for the time being." Li Ming sent the coordinates to the other party.
"I estimate it will take more than ten days to arrive." Robin looked at the star map and replied, "You can change the bounty content first, and I will accept it again and let the palace act as an arbitration."
The reason why Robin felt relieved was also to rely on the Black Hole Palace to allow Li Ming to carry out more advanced arbitration rewards.
Black Hole Palace will contact both parties when the reward ends to ensure that the transaction is completed.
The process was smooth and trouble-free. What surprised Li Ming was that after confirming that the thing in his hand was indeed relatively precious, the other party did not open his mouth to bargain further.
"Value is only called value in the hands of those who can make it work." Robin held the black stone with emotion.
Even if he knew that there was a secret in it, it would be useless. In his hand, it was just an ordinary stone.
After re-accepting the bounty, Robin glanced at the skull beside him, his heart moved slightly, and then sent another message:
"If, I have more relevant information and "What's the reward for the information?"
"It depends on what the specific information is and whether I know it, but I won't let you down." Li Ming sighed in his heart. There are indeed capable people in the Black Hole Hall. , those S-class life forms don’t know what this thing is.
But this senior member actually knew, and seemed to know a lot.
Turning off the screen, Li Ming was looking forward to the arrival of the Star Phantom Thief, which seemed to be able to solve a lot of his doubts.
With this mood in mind, a few more days passed, and the alloy material I had been longing for finally arrived.
Boom!
The wind was howling, and heavy transport spaceships, nearly a hundred of them, were hovering in the sky. There were also a large number of escort warships, covering the sky and the sun.
The surface of the battleship emits the symbol of a giant golden shield, and the anti-gravity ring at the bottom emits a bright blue light, gradually landing on this great plain.
A group of people got off the largest battleship and came to Li Ming. There was a metal box at his feet. Ulrich and others stood behind him, their eyes frequently falling on the box.
"Hello, you must be Mr. Shadow." The leader was thin and had a very respectful attitude: "I am the transportation director of Xinggong Heavy Mine - Moro, and this is from Jushi Company. Escort Specialist."
He pointed to the burly figure wearing combat armor and introduced.
The two sides exchanged brief greetings, and Moro pointed to the heavy transport spacecraft behind him and said: "The refined alloy steel worth 24 billion star coins is all here. You can inspect the goods first."
Li Ming nodded. After all, this group of people is not a black hole network. It should be tested.
Theo's men were already prepared and quickly boarded the ship, moving and inspecting it at the same time.
Alloy steel is a universal material with low value, which also resulted in the extremely large volume of this batch of goods. It took most of a day to completely move these materials down.
On the great plain in front of you, there are piles of alloy blocks scattered at regular intervals.
"Total weight - eight hundred and two hundred tons."
A captain under Theo came to report that not only was it a lot, but it was an extra two hundred tons. This The company is very good at getting things done.
Li Ming was very satisfied, signed the receipt, settled the balance at the Black Hole Palace, and said to Moro: "I look forward to cooperating with you in the future."
Molo nodded repeatedly. This is a top major customer, and the company has already After finding out, with Qinglong as the star-casting great mechanic, it is natural to have a good relationship.
The other party left in a hurry with others.
"Prepare to block the view of space." Li Ming said.
Ulrich nodded, raised his hand slightly, and layers of soil flew up to the sky, condensing into a canopy, completely sealing off the area. Then, in full view of everyone, Li Ming took out a broken metal cube from his suitcase.
When he saw this thing, Ulrich's breathing stagnated slightly, and then he smiled bitterly.
Although he had guessed many times that this thing might be in Qinglong's hands, when he actually saw this scene, he really had an unspeakable feeling.
Sandro scratched his head, and Monroe's mechanical pupils turned.
"This is the material recombination maker..." Theo looked at it. He had never seen this thing several times before when it was in Monroe's hands.
“Not bad.” Monroe nodded and said thoughtfully: “With this thing here, our plan will get twice the result with half the effort.”
"I just don't know when His Excellency Qinglong sent it to him."
"Didn't you notice it too?" Theo was quite surprised. Ulrich couldn't help but look at it, but felt relieved in his heart. .
The material recombination maker cannot be put into the folding space, so it must have been sent by Lord Qinglong himself.
This shows that the other party is indeed following Li Ming all the time, in a way that they cannot detect at all.
It’s not hiding in the shadows, he muttered, scanning the shadows on the ground.
At the same time, Li Ming had already obtained the material recombination maker and walked to the alloy steel blocks, the two of them were close to each other.
Soon, those alloy steel blocks disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"He is..." Ulrich was surprised and looked at Monroe, "The material recombination maker still has this ability?"
"The material recombination maker has always had this ability. The ability to absorb metal materials and directly create objects." Monroe frowned, "However, I don't know if it still has this ability after it is damaged."
"It's not always with you. In your hand?" Monroe's mechanical pupils glanced at Ulrich.
Ulrich felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, and said awkwardly: "I can't activate it at all after I get it."
"Maybe it's His Excellency Qinglong's method." Monroe said, not caring.
Everyone just watched quietly.
Of course Li Ming is not using the [Material Recombination Maker] to absorb metal materials, but he is absorbing metal energy himself.
The number this time is too huge. In front of everyone, you have to find a justifiable reason.
For three whole days and three nights, Li Ming worked non-stop and only absorbed two-thirds of it. But even so, his metal energy balance reached a huge amount of more than 220 million.
If it were absorbed entirely, it would probably exceed 300 million metal energy, which is much more cost-effective than buying it on the black hole network.
"Huh..." He breathed a long sigh of relief. If it was specially used for metal energy absorption, he would definitely not buy this ordinary material.
But this time it is not only used as metal energy, but also as raw materials for building bases and production lines. If you purchase materials in batches, not only will the preparation time be extended, but the delivery time will also be longer.
"Wait a moment, everyone..." Li Ming greeted a few people and returned to the small spacecraft.
"He is..." Ulrich was puzzled, "After absorbing so much metal material, why did he go back?"
"Maybe he went to repair it." Monroe guessed.
In the spaceship room, to adjust his mood, he couldn't help but rub his hands.
First of all, it is to control the [Sublimation Source Crystal], and 60 million metal energy is lost.
This crystal clear special crystal disappeared in his palm.
I can't wait to switch the evolution system and put the sublimation source crystal in the free slot unlocked by being promoted to an A-level life form.
The ability was activated and he tried to develop gene seeds. In an instant, elemental light suddenly burst out around his body.
The cells in the body swept away the silence of the past, and became cheerful and active as if they had been stimulated by something.
With the blessing of Sublimation Source Crystal, the development speed has been increased by 224 times, which has reached a terrifying level.
The body that became warm and active again almost made him moan. After a while, he calmed down slightly and couldn't help but smack his lips.
"Sure enough, restrained indulgence is the most pleasurable. This development rate is far from reaching the peak of the past, but it gives me an unspeakable satisfaction."
This direct increase The contrast with the blessing of more than 100 times is too obvious. It originally took nearly 20 days to develop to 1%.
Now, it only takes eight or nine days. Compared with not long ago, it is a qualitative leap.
"At this level, it is unrealistic to expect an increase of 1% a day. I wonder if they can return to their peak when they are all upgraded to S-level evolutionary essence." Li Ming thought in his mind.
Seven S-level gene essences are needed to complete the transformation of the evolutionary system. It takes too long to absorb S-level gene essences. Unless there is an unexpected situation like Fushi, it can basically only be captured and absorbed.
Catching an S-level life form alive is even slightly more difficult than killing it.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, he took out the [Material Recombination Maker]. This thing was also in a damaged state and could basically only be used in a controlled manner. Taken out alone, it could only make some gadgets.
"I don't know how much metal energy is needed to repair it..." Li Ming muttered. This thing is an investment. There will be no return in a short time, but it will definitely not be a loss.
He took the cube metal block and injected metal energy into it. The damaged edge soon glowed with light, and it slowly grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, the 30 million metal energy was consumed, and the missing part of the [Material Recombination Maker] was also filled.
"Thirty million, not bad..." Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief and looked at it carefully. After the repair was completed, the patterns on the surface became more complicated.
I don’t know what switch Li Ming pressed. Every surface of the entire cube began to rotate, and there was a clicking sound similar to the rotation of mechanical gears.
After the repair is completed, [Material Recombination Maker] returns to S-level evaluation.
It can produce up to A-level items, but it consumes a huge amount of materials and takes several months. It is obviously not for the purpose of producing cutting-edge technological creations.
This is its limit. The biggest role of this thing is to create low- to medium-level items, more precious and rarer materials, the synthesis speed and efficiency will be greatly reduced, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Unless Li Ming upgrades it, it will consume four billion metal energy and unknown special energy. Just looking at it will give Li Ming a headache.
"It's enough for now." Li Ming thought, there were still 110 million metal energy left, and he thought about the Stone of Terrax that would arrive soon.
We have the materials and enough metal energy.
"Well..." He muttered, hesitantly, and turned over the control.
