Chapter 396: Chapter 212: The Choice of the Mutated Energy Upgrade Path

"After repairing this Star King, the next step is to slowly play with those few." Li Ming secretly planned, gradually blending into the crowd.

Not far down the street, Azure Dragon’s figure suddenly dispersed.

Grey Eyes, who had been secretly following, suddenly twitched his eyelids and then abruptly turned around, seeing Azure Dragon at the end of the street.

His figure appeared behind him instantly, and before he could speak, he heard the other party say, "Don’t be so tense, I’m just not used to being followed."

Grey Eyes didn’t say anything, he was secretly shocked. What kind of trick was this?

He had been following from Ulrich’s castle without ever shifting his focus, yet he was still deceived.

His Level A Genetic Seed is known as [Wubus Star Spirit], which gave his eyes the initial ability to capture the state of information.

Information state is intertwined with the universe environment by every life form, it’s not a smell, but rather a kind of presence trace.

Even for a Level A life form, it’s very hard to touch upon this aspect, he could barely capture the state of information but couldn’t specifically discern it.

But even so, it is already very impressive; at least no one could 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 workshop. Did you notice me then?"

"What sneaking in?" Li Ming countered. What Theo was following from the beginning was just [Mimic Projection].

Theo frowned, stared at him for a long time, and shook his head, "Never mind."

This person cast an even deeper shadow in his heart.

Meanwhile, during the time the two of them delayed, the surroundings had already become noisy. Quite a few Raiders pointed at them, visibly recognizing them.

Li Ming’s business was already taken care of, and he returned to the steel castle right away.

Less than twenty-four hours after the incident, Ulrich’s steel castle had already begun repairs.

Just walking through the main hall entrance, Li Ming heard a wail.

"Collector, my lord, there was nothing I could do. I fought until the last moment. Look at these wounds on my body."

Brown was kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly, covered in blood, seemingly very seriously injured.

"Those Mechanics were too cruel. I stood in front of them with my body, yet they ignored me and stepped right over me!"

Brown’s eyes brimmed with tears while Cassis described expressionlessly next to him, "The repair room lost a total of 114 items, retrieved 112."

"Those fleeing Mechanics left the steel castle at the first opportunity, attempting to take the interstellar ships at the port. Trying to find them now, it’s not too likely anymore."

Brown shivered, looking pitifully at Ulrich, "My lord, I am loyal to you, but my small body..."

Ulrich frowned but did not respond, instead looking towards Sandro.

"It wasn’t him." Sandro shook his head with contempt, "This kind of guy is too soft-boned, who could rest assured buying him out?"

Ulrich waved his hand impatiently, and Cassis took Brown down, then brought up Mophis from behind.

"Ah, seems like it’s this guy." Sandro’s eyes slightly brightened, pointing at the human in front of him.

"Mophis, a high-ranking officer in the Security Department," Cassis frowned.

Mophis’s face was ashen, and he quickly prostrated himself on the ground, "Collector, my lord, I don’t understand what Sandro is talking about. I’ve never been in contact with him."

"Do you even have the right to contact me?" Sandro snickered.

Ulrich’s face was cold, and Cassis took him to another spot, where several people already stood, appearing lifeless yet seemingly alive.

Were they searching for a mole, the enemy boss personally identifying them?

Those people bought by Sandro, really ran out of luck.

Li Ming glanced for a while and could not help shaking his head.

Ulrich noticed their return, his face somewhat unsightly. This kind of housecleaning scene was somewhat embarrassing.

"It’s fine, carry on." Li Ming found a good spot and watched with interest.

Ulrich felt awkward inside, snorted coldly, "The entire Security Department, execute them all."

"Ah, life forms are not trustworthy anymore." The burly Sandro shook his head, "Do you know what conditions Rob offered them? Five million Star Coins, just five million Star Coins, and you can have the doors of your master’s castle wide open."

"I have a suggestion, how about we use a few Mechanical Bodies instead? These life forms, none are as reliable as metal. I have some here for you, with a 20% discount, what do you say?" Li Ming spoke up at the right time.

Ulrich’s face darkened. He still remembered the ghost programs in the Mechanical Bodies around Li Ming. Who would dare to use them?

Using these life forms, the other party at least had to spend some money; using those Mechanical Bodies, Azure Dragon wouldn’t even need to spend a dime.

Theo, who had been following behind Li Ming, looked down at his smart device and frowned, "My people just got news three hours ago that the United Fleet has lost track in the Bado Luo Star System."

The three Level A life forms present, only those under Theo’s command were somewhat systematic.

Li Ming’s heart stirred.

"Lost track?" Ulrich looked over, "What’s the situation?"

"Unknown for the moment, but beforehand they were cleaning up a small organization supported by Torch," Theo added.

"Forget about them. But first, contact Torch," Sandro shook his head. Ulrich looked at Li Ming, "The repair room is missing a section of the main cannon."

"Main cannon?" Li Ming showed an expression of confusion, and then realized, "The one that was disassembled from what main ship?"

"That’s nearly a hundred meters long, isn’t it? Who’d take that thing?" He was quite astonished.

"Huh?" Sandro was surprised and then laughed loudly, "It’s probably those idiotic Raiders, taking down the main cannon has no damn use."
