Chapter 395: Chapter 211 Distant Tracking Monroe’s Secret_2

Beside him, his subordinate bowed even deeper as they watched the whole process; Azure Dragon was already capable of defeating A-level life forms, and if the opponent was truly Li Ming, this was beyond miraculous—it was utterly inconceivable.

Gabriel looked uncertainly at the virtual screen, then back at the conclusion he had just drawn, and finally erased it, shaking his head and saying, "It seems there is a third person on this spaceship."

"No matter what, Land of Stars is a must-visit, I am quite curious about Li Ming and this Mechanic,"

...

"The development progress is still 23% remaining; with a B-level Genetic Seed in hand, it will soon become a B-level life form, which will be a qualitative change." Li Ming walked on the street, pondering secretly.

There weren’t many people around; the aftermath of the Steel Castle assault incident had not yet dissipated.

Many Raiders have craftily left Trading Island to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

Holding over forty million metal energy, but he wasn’t in a rush to upgrade the Controlled Objects, instead planning to handle a minor matter.

"Sorry sir, the store is closed, please come back later."

Li Ming looked up, Saber expressionless as he came out of the store.

"It’s me." He smiled.

Just with these two words, the expressionless Saber suddenly became excited, then quickly suppressed it, restraining the emotional waves, and stepped aside.

After carefully closing the door, he then excitedly said: "Lord Azure Dragon, you are really too incredible... even Sandro is not your match."

The video of that battle was now flying all over Land of Stars, it appeared as though Sandro was truly defeated.

The local network’s discussion heat was extremely high, all kinds of speculations were rife.

Some are even giving him nicknames like "Cannon King" and "Mechanical Artillery," absurd nicknames proliferate, puzzling where they originated.

In fact, all the Raiders present at that time were under Ullrich’s control, and he could easily have confiscated their smart terminals during the subsequent inspections.

But he didn’t do so much, letting those Raiders spread these videos, harboring bad intentions.

Li Ming figured that probably many forces were studying the video of that battle.

"Upstairs?" Li Ming inquired; his time was limited, the [Mimic Projection] was not far away deceiving Grey Eyes, hoping to quickly handle the trouble with Star King.

"Yes, yes." Saber reacted and hurriedly led the way in front.

Going to the top floor, he opened the secret room; Li Ming looked strangely at the Star King lying in the liquid tank.

"Lord Azure Dragon, nice to meet you." Monroe’s voice came from a horn on the side, sounding very young.

This kind of mimic voice could freely choose the voice line, to some extent representing Monroe’s mentality.

"Lord Star King." Li Ming nodded, "Due to some mishap, I might not have much free time, I hope this time the problem can be solved."

"You’re here for the Material Reorganization Machine, aren’t you?" Monroe instead mentioned this matter.

"Correct." Li Ming nodded.

Monroe chuckled, "From the time Saber told me, I felt it was strange. How could someone capable of fixing the nano-curse be captured by Ullrich."

You certainly think highly of me, Li Ming muttered to himself but shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, there was a problem."

Monroe showed no surprise: "I guessed as much. Since you haven’t left, and those three guys didn’t gang up on you, obviously something went wrong, and none of you got it."

"Correct, it was almost within reach..." Li Ming shook his head, "Then an A-level life form jumped out and intercepted."

Monroe hesitated, "Is it your enemy?"

"Sort of." Li Ming was vague; Monroe and those three guys wouldn’t cross-check, and he didn’t care, just making do with the reply.

"It’s not any good stuff." Monroe didn’t ask further, sighing helplessly, "The reason I ended up in this plight has a lot to do with that thing."

"Oh." Li Ming sat up straight, "I’d like to hear more."

Monroe hesitated, "I used the [Material Reorganization Machine] to shape Land of Stars, modified one Floating Island after another, certainly not to provide a hiding place for those grossly evil Raiders."

"You must have seen Red River Starfall, haven’t you?" Monroe spoke halfway and suddenly brought up this matter.

"I have, it’s quite spectacular," Li Ming praised.

Monroe asked, "Aren’t you curious about how this unique landscape formed? What’s the origin of these ruins of civilization?"

"Um...I only explore puzzles that can be solved."

Monroe laughed, "As expected of a great Mechanic. There are many gathering sites along the Red River Star Stream; they rely on the Red River Star Stream for survival and also seek to unravel its secrets."

"I don’t have that much curiosity or ability to find the source. I just want to use the perpetual gravity of the Land of Stars to pull something out from within."

Li Ming was startled; this old guy had quite the imagination.

"The Land of Stars I created was three times bigger at its peak than what the Land of Stars is now. And in my blueprint, that was still just one-tenth," Monroe said leisurely.

"Ullrich is a Gravity Superpower User. Yet even with his current abilities, he can’t match even 1% of the gravity produced by the Land of Stars, not to mention it’s constant."

"What a pity..." Monroe shook his head.

Li Ming didn’t expect there to be such secrets; his eyes twinkled, but he just listened.

Monroe fell silent for a moment, then reluctantly said, "My Lord, aren’t you going to ask what that thing is?"

"By asking, wouldn’t I fall into your trap?" Li Ming responded with a light smile.

"Haha..." Monroe laughed heartily, and without explaining further or continuing the conversation, he changed subjects: "Saber’s recently brought fewer materials, just enough for two repairs."

"That’s about right." Li Ming figured, not much to gain but no losses either.

Soon, he would resolve Star King’s problem and free up that combat power so he could focus on what comes next.

"However, I need you to let it rest for a while. Can you accept that?"

Saber, who stood behind him, hesitated to speak, but Monroe answered immediately, "No problem."

With no choice, Saber gathered the materials and then shut off the various systems in the room, hesitating before leaving.

Li Ming removed Monroe’s head, putting it into standby mode, and then began to absorb the metal energy from the materials before proceeding to repair Monroe’s remaining limbs.

"Almost a million left."

After a good half-day, Li Ming glanced at the metal energy changes and reattached the head.

At the same time, Monroe’s mechanical body emitted bursts of sparks, the energy engine lit up, limbs twitched, and the room lights flickered.

Buzz--

The mechanical head’s eyes glowed blue, and with a click, Monroe suddenly sat up, shattering the liquid tank and causing liquid to spray everywhere.

He lifted his metal palm, scrutinizing it as it was still mostly covered in green liquid.

"Truly... astonishing," Monroe expressed his amazement, having only heard Saber recount it and never experiencing such a shock firsthand.

The nano-curse that was once a thorn in his side—was it really fixed so effortlessly?

"Star King!" Saber, sensing the commotion, burst through the door, his eyes turning red after a moment of stunned silence.

"Finally..." Monroe spoke solemnly as the metal on his body’s surface writhed, transforming into mimic skin that covered him, making him look like a rugged middle-aged man.

"Lord, your grace, Monroe will remember it forever." He spoke solemnly.

That’s what you need to say, Li Ming gestured dismissively. "Go with the flow; don’t worry about it, how do you feel now?"

"Far from my peak, but no ordinary A-level Life Form would catch me," Monroe estimated his own strength quite accurately, then asked Li Ming:

"My Lord, if I want a full recovery, taking this metal sheet as an example, approximately how many would I need?"

"Um..." Li Ming estimated, one sheet for 500,000 metal energy needed for repairs, plus his own profit.

"Probably just over three thousand sheets should suffice," he stated.

Monroe was momentarily stunned but quickly adjusted, "I understand. I’ll find them as soon as possible. Let me know if there’s anything you need."

Li Ming wasn’t worried that Monroe would disappear; he likely couldn’t find another person who could so easily repair the "nano-curse."
