This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 468: Chapter 248: Infiltrating the Dimension Realm Laboratory

Li Ming muttered, "Looking at it this way, it’s not a loss. It might even come in handy later."

After switching to the [Magnetic Explosion Shuttle] and trying to activate the ability.

Li Ming felt as if everything around him was enlarging. His clothes lightly fell to the ground, puffing out with wandering little bumps, finally, a miniature centimeter-sized person emerged and stood on the floor.

Li Ming looked down at his own hands, then looked around at the objects magnified countless times. It was a novel feeling.

"In some ways, it also increases the lethality to some extent," Li Ming clenched his fist. The power remained the same, but with density compressed, the destruction became more concentrated.

"It might have strange uses at times." His body grew, he returned to his normal size and materialized the [Magnetic Explosion Shuttle].

After possession, he began to try folding it; with the clanking of metal, the exquisite and compact mechanical motorcycle gradually transformed into a metal block the size of an adult’s head.

Li Ming had practically removed all modules from this mechanical motorcycle, purely for extreme compression, a Level B item, which alone cost him six hundred thousand units of metal energy.

After all, it was just folding and not ignoring spatial volume; that was the most he could do.

"That should do it, it shouldn’t be noticeable if placed in a box." Li Ming pondered, an ingenious thought emerged in his mind: "Does this count as exploiting a bug?"

Shaking his head, this belonged to the inherent ability of the vehicle, in essence, it was still a mechanical motorcycle.

"At most, it’s making reasonable use of the system."

Everything was ready; now, he needed to verify whether this possession ability could bypass that Realm of Perpetuity’s blockade.

According to Pier, that Balzak was called the Realm of Perpetuity.

Because its energy trait is quite special, energy molecules interlock and form a closed region, thereafter applying various special force fields to the enclosed area.

This influence wouldn’t diminish over time but rather absorb various energy particles, continuously strengthening.

Thus, it’s called the "Realm of Perpetuity."

However, this trait must also depend on the existence of the Dimension Realm; otherwise, it would gradually degrade in the real universe.

The suppression of dimensional power by the real universe is not just conjecture.

Glancing at the time, after all the back and forth, it was almost his working time.

Putting this matter aside for now, he prepared to sneak around in the laboratory.

Stepping out, he just happened to meet Des, who was also heading to the laboratory.

The other’s eyes suddenly constricted upon seeing him but quickly adjusted and approached casually to greet.

"By the way, thank you, Lord Des, for providing the data." Li Ming initiated the conversation. Within the metal module brought back by Thunder, after wiping the hacking program, some data for the manufacturing of the Sublimator was stored.

Clearly, to dispel his suspicion.

"It’s nothing. I’m occupied with something and really couldn’t attend to the invitation." Des also harbored suspicions, wondering if the other party had discovered his actions.

Logically, there should be an alert system, but why did Azure Dragon seem so oblivious?

Was it because it was awkward to make a move? After all, Torch was overseeing.

The two chatted sporadically about the production of the Sublimator, exchanging quite a few opinions and ideas,

Along the way, Des, more or less, observed his expressions until they reached the laboratory.

"He probably didn’t realize I tampered with his Mechanical Body... or perhaps he doesn’t care?" Des couldn’t figure it out and could only suppress it in his heart.

After skiving off for a while, Li Ming was eager to return to his room.

Controlling Thunder, he used the [Shadow Sting] ability along the way to find Pier.

Pier had been hypnotized once; the second time went quite smoothly, his expression turning numb.

After scanning around, Li Ming noticed that Pier was holding some sort of data terminal, apparently ready to head out; after a brief inquiry, he was quite surprised.

Because Pier was also preparing to head to the Dimension Realm Laboratory to look for Connet, to report on the intelligence regarding the monitoring of the internal network data flow.

Li Ming silently muttered: "Connet had already suspected that after the internal network connection, Des would try to contact outside immediately, which is why he had this guy monitoring the internal data flow."

"However, the hackers within the Torch Organization are low-level, they didn’t discover Des’ maneuvers."

"That’ll save me from finding an excuse." After pondering for a moment, Li Ming issued a few more instructions, then bent over the mechanical motorcycle, folded it into a silver metal block, and placed it on Pier’s table.

Snap—

After the faint sound of a snapping finger, Pier suddenly came to his senses, looked around, somehow feeling a bit foggy headed.

"What’s happening recently..." he murmured to himself, packed up his belongings, and was about to push open the office door but suddenly stopped. He turned to look at the silver metal block on his desk.

"Almost forgot." He pocketed the metal block, expression as usual, and swiftly walked towards the deeper parts of the base.

This was a path Li Ming had never taken, or rather, the Torch Organization members he had previously possessed were not qualified to come here.

The first checkpoint was extremely strict; even though it was within the base, the responsible soldiers were meticulous.

After various tests, confirming there was nothing unusual with the items he carried, and Pier’s identity was fine, and since Connet indeed wanted to see him today, they let him in.
