Chapter 449: Chapter 238 Correct Usage of Concealing Blessing: Touring Torch Organization Base_2

Jesaya couldn’t help feeling emotional, "Although I don’t know the specific use of that thing, if it falls into the hands of Torch Organization, in a few years, it might turn over the Yitelan Civilization."

"It seems that none of you big mechanics are targeting this object?" Li Ming couldn’t help but ask.

Jesaya helplessly replied, "This thing is a hot potato. The Star Abyss Empire stands aloof from the world, seemingly indifferent to this relic, but behind the scenes, they never stop their maneuvers."

"As the vanguard, the Yitelan Civilization takes the lead, while Torch Organization spares no effort for it. The advanced civilizations in the nearby star clusters are all eager to stir... "

"For us small mechanics, trying to grab this thing would be courting death. Our target is the other stuff within the relic..."

Even though Jesaya is a level A Mechanical Transformation and a great Mechanic, mentioning these names, one can still sense a deep sense of powerlessness.

Li Ming neither agreed nor disagreed. The two chatted idly for a while, exchanging a lot of related information.

Not until Li Ming showed his intention to bid farewell for the third time did Jesaya reluctantly leave.

"This guy’s fanatical worship of Monroe doesn’t seem to be fake... Hmm... I’ll see later, it might be useful..." Li Ming pondered silently, his thoughts flowing as he glanced at the time.

According to the Blue Star time zone he had always set, it was now eight o’clock in the evening.

Then he switched to the Material Reorganization Machine, where a mass of metal particles constantly changed shape in his hand, eventually forming a silver-white metal mask.

[Twisted Mask--C Level: A mask made by a special method.

...

Control Effect: Concealing Blessing 200%

Control Energy--Twisted Force Field: Obtains 400% Concealing Blessing and isolates sound from escaping.]

"It’s really miraculous..." Watching the process of the mask forming out of nothing, Li Ming couldn’t help but marvel.

This thing really saved him a great deal of effort; whatever idea he had, he could immediately experiment with it.

He had made six masks like this in total, one of which was a Level B item. Together with the Soul Mask and professional blessing, he could have a total of 27.5 times the Concealing Blessing.

The total experiments and manufacturing had consumed about two million metal energy.

"I’ll start the actual manufacturing work tomorrow. Today would be a good time to give it a try." Li Ming considered.

His main goal was to obtain more Dimension Crystals, that is, Mutated Energy. Of course, as the main base of the Torch Organization, there should be plenty of good things here, but he currently knew nothing about it.

He definitely had to find a way to get a rough idea of the situation.

A moment later, Lei Ming left the door again, swaying left and right in the corridor, until he finally waited for a figure. It was Theo.

After the banquet ended, Connet took Theo away alone, and now he was just returning.

Theo walked with his head down, deep in thought, his gaze sweeping over Lei Ming without much concern.

It wasn’t until the two passed by side by side, their shadows intersecting for an instant, that Theo suddenly stopped in his tracks, suspiciously looking back at the distant glowing blue Mechanical Body.

His eyes rested on the other’s shadow. As the corridor’s tube lights approached and receded, the shadow continuously contracted and lengthened.

After hesitating for a moment, he silently appeared behind Lei Ming, feeling the shadow sweep over him.

"A hallucination?" Theo frowned, standing still, and only after a long while did he turn around.

"This old guy, his senses are really sharp." Hiding in Lei Ming’s shadow, Li Ming was secretly amazed.

After the experiment, he breathed a sigh of relief. With the full Concealing Blessing, and by containing his emotions and breath, he was undetectable even by Theo before making a move.

This was the correct use of Concealing Blessing. He had always wondered, no matter how high the Concealing Blessing was stacked up, it couldn’t make him disappear from the real world.

What was the use of this thing?

But now he understood, this thing was for erasing the instincts of life forms.

The intuition of advanced life forms was quite sharp; even being slightly observed from the shadows would give them a feeling.

Concealing Blessing needed to be combined with concealing techniques to truly take effect.

At this moment, Lei Ming had already reached the metal corridor connection leading to the outside of the area. At the end, two Torch Soldiers stood guard, looking back at this blue Mechanical Body. If he advanced one more step, they would stop him.

However, the blue mechanical body was merely moving horizontally left and right, its purpose unclear, until at a peculiar angle of light, the shadow of Thunder intersected with the shadow of one of the soldiers, briefly fluctuating.

Thunder stopped moving, and the two soldiers exchanged glances, puzzled.

Shortly after.

Two workers passed by the corridor in front of them, halted in their steps, and curiously peered into the metallic passageway.

"From the development department? Hurry on, this is a level one high-alert zone." The guarding soldier chastised sternly.

The two workers looked embarrassed and quickly left. After walking a distance, they cautiously looked back.

"Heard that the great mechanic master, Azure Dragon, has already arrived at the base," one with a pair of small mustaches muttered softly.

"Really?" The other, with sparse hair on his head, appeared astonished. "How do you know that?"

"I have my ways," the small mustached man said with a smug look. "Not only that, I also heard that as soon as this great mechanic master, Azure Dragon, arrived, he solved the problems that had been troubling the other great mechanics for a long time."

The bald man was amazed, "Is he really that impressive? They are all great mechanics, why is there such a big difference?"

"Even among great mechanics, there are disparities," the man with the mustaches said meaningfully.

The bald man was lost for words, "Fine, with your level of mechanical knowledge, you even forget the classifications of alloy hardness, so stop pretending to make judgments here."

The man with the mustaches showed displeasure, and after squabbling for a while, they shifted topics, "We should hurry up. The equipment for the warship has arrived, waiting for our inspection."

"Warship equipment?" In the shadows, Li Ming had already switched out his [Twisted Mask] and then activated [Intelligent Assistance], sketching out the base’s map in his mind.

He was extremely unfamiliar with this place and had no clear objective, so he decided to temporarily follow these two men.

After several turns and passing through the central corridor, they arrived at the other side of the base and, after multiple verifications, took an elevator to the upper layer of the base.

The metal doors slowly opened with an intermingling sound of metal friction, and the air was filled with a strong scent of rust.

This appeared to be the warship assembly room. Complex structural components were transported slowly on the huge treaded conveyors and gradually assembled into roughly completed warships under the operation of nearly hundred-meter-long mechanical arms.

It was evident that many parts were still missing, including ship cannons, internal engines, energy circuits, and so on.

The two were very familiar with this area, crossing through the warship assembly room, and then through a long metallic corridor of nearly a hundred meters, they arrived before a vast open area.

Above was the boundless starry sky, protected by the ecological shield, providing ample oxygen.

In front of them, many metal crates of various sizes were placed, and from the giant transport spaceship not far away, large hoisting machines were offloading.

The two quickly dived into work, starting to inventory.

"Cruising Crow Cannons—246 units"

"Classical Quantum Shield Generators—246 units"

"..."

It seemed to be the main components of the warship, which Li Ming listened to.

Engines, shields, and fire control systems, these three major parts all required extremely high technical skills.

Although Torch Organization could build the basic shells of warships, these core components with incredibly high technical challenges still had to be purchased.

"Main ship level—Astarte Spear, Electromagnetic Cannon..." The man with the small mustaches stood before a metallic crate nearly a hundred meters in length, looking up at the markings above and then entered through the gap of the crate doors to see a bluish-colored giant cannon before him.

Main ship gun barrel?

Li Ming’s interest suddenly peaked, and as the small mustached man, who was recording, suddenly felt a chill on his back, turned his head in suspicion, he saw nothing but darkness.

[Astarte Electromagnetic Cannon—Special Type: Electromagnetic Compression Ship-mounted Main Gun, possesses tremendous lethality.

Control Conditions: Four million metal energy

Control Effect: Electromagnetic Aggregation Effect

Control Ability—Bombardment: Materialization of ship cannon, bombard a target (Note: requires pre-charging energy)]
