Chapter 434: Chapter 231: Theo’s Deal, Profession [Assassin] Consecutive Promotion, Evolution Theory Completion and Secret Record Fusion

He snorted coldly, stood up, and left the room to look for that guy.

Walking through the high-level corridor, he noticed it was very clean and hardly anyone was around.

The sound of knocking echoed, but there was no response. After knocking again, Ulrich’s expression darkened, then suddenly changed.

He swiftly turned around only to see Li Ming leisurely approaching from the other side, "Lord Ulrich, I actually wanted to express my apologies to you, I really didn’t foresee the incident with the steel castle..."

Ulrich didn’t bother with him and coldly glanced at him, quickly returning to his own room. Opening the box that contained metal materials, his face relaxed.

After rummaging for a while, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

"Was it a misunderstanding?" Ulrich hesitated, then went back to look for Azure Dragon, but this time the latter was in his room and refused to open the door.

"I’ve already apologized, do you want to hear it a second time?"

Ulrich left with a cold face.

"The last one is Theo, this might be a bit troublesome."

A few hours later, Li Ming pondered, first sending a message to the other party, saying that they had important matters to discuss.

Theo didn’t reply, but his location had been locked on, approaching this place at high speed.

His metal materials were not stored in the Starship Ruins, but in an old warship. His people had arrived there and were taking inventory.

"So fast?" Li Ming was slightly astonished and, without much thought, disappeared from the spot, heading straight for the old warship, even using Space Blink multiple times, his figure almost invisible to the naked eye.

"No one here?" Theo’s figure appeared in the empty room, slightly frowning before vanishing again.

Li Ming had just transferred the metal materials when Theo returned.

On the deck of his old warship, the two collided head-on.

"Why are you here?" Theo narrowed his eyes.

"I saw you hadn’t replied to my message, so I came over to check," Li Ming said candidly.

"Only a few minutes passed, besides, I wasn’t on this warship," said Theo with a deep gaze.

"I thought you were here," Li Ming responded calmly.

"Is that so? Well then, what did you want to see me about?" Theo walked inside with Li Ming and came to the captain’s room, opening the box of metal materials in front of him, which seemed normal.

Theo appeared somewhat surprised, closed the box, and Li Ming then said, "I mainly wanted to ask if you were willing to sell your Evolution Theory and the Secret Record of Liberation."

Theo was even more astonished, not predicting Li Ming’s intention at all.

Li Ming wasn’t joking, his development system still had a gap for a control position that needed to be filled.

The Genetic Warrior’s Secret Record Fusion could merge another as the Life Level elevated.

Initially, he wanted to buy from Sandro, who was easier to deceive, but after asking indirectly before, he found out that Sandro’s Genetic Sequence was not at level A, only level B.

Thus, he had no choice but to turn to Theo.

He shook his head, "Your Genetic Sequence should be fixed by now, my Evolution Theory and Secret Record of Liberation probably won’t be of use to you."

"I have other uses for buying them." Li Ming shook his head, "Will you sell or not?"

Theo pondered, unexpectedly faced with this request, and after a moment said, "I will sell, one billion Star Coins each."

"That cheap?" Li Ming was quite surprised.

"I need you to do something for me," Theo added.

"What is it?" Li Ming asked immediately.

"I haven’t decided yet," Theo shook his head.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll default on the deal?" Li Ming squinted.

"I’m not worried," said Theo indifferently.

Li Ming suddenly smiled, "If you’re not worried, then there’s no problem. Of course, I won’t agree to just anything."

"Pay and deliver on the spot," Theo decisively said, his mother civilization had long perished, and no one pursued these matters.

During his most strapped times, he considered selling to the Black Hole Network.

Unfortunately, the Black Hole Network required a payment period of several hundred years because it was difficult to verify the combination sequence of the Genetic Seed, Evolution Theory, and Secret Record of Liberation.

It could only cultivate a specialized Evolved Body and gradually verify that there were no issues with levels C, B, and A before paying.

That’s when Theo realized these items were indeed precious, but the transaction process was too cumbersome.

"Alright then," Li Ming nodded decisively, he didn’t need to wait that long for verification; he could confirm the authenticity on the spot.

Two sets of items were exported and Li Ming took possession,

[Shadow Blade Hunter Evolution Theory--Level A: Records the Evolution Theory of Shadow Blade Hunter Genetic Sequence.

Control Conditions: Five million metal energy

Control Effect: Stealth enhancement 500%

Control Ability--Shadow Blade Evolution: Mobilizes the Shadow Elemental Power within one’s body, in-depth development of Genetic Seed.]

[Shadow Blade Hunter Liberation Secret Record--Consumable Type: Records the secret of Shadow Blade Hunter’s liberation.

Control Conditions: Four million metal energy

Control Ability--Shadow Blade Hunter: Consumes Controlled Objects, permanently obtaining Advanced Liberation Ability.]

All could be identified, he wasn’t tricked, which somewhat surprised Li Ming, who then made the payment.

After receiving payment, Theo finally revealed his trump card, smiling, "Do you also want the Genetic Seed Sequence?"

"How much?" Li Ming asked tentatively.

"Twenty billion," Theo declared boldly.

Li Ming’s mouth twitched; the three items were mutually supportive and without any one of them, the others would be useless.

Unfortunately, he didn’t actually need them, and shook his head, "No need."

Theo was surprised, unable to figure out why Li Ming wanted to purchase these two items.

He originally wanted to give the other party a surprise, because when his mother civilization perished, two essential biological components in the Genetic Sequence went extinct as well.
