Chapter 522: Chapter 275 Theo Regresses: The Early Bird Catches the Worm (Seeking Monthly Pass at the Beginning of the Month!)

"Not bad, the Particle Effect Device has already been dealt with by me, but the energy coefficient can only be figured out through trial and error. The Torch Organization’s simulation system is too outdated, and its computing power is severely lacking." Benny furrowed his brows.

"The Particle Effect Device" has been solved?

Li Ming was astonished, no wonder Connet had him solve a difficult problem first to prove his ability before rewarding him.

It now seems that as long as he resolves the "Crystalization System Coefficient," the Sublimator would be essentially complete.

"But, how did he know I would solve the ’Crystalization System Coefficient’ instead of the ’Particle Effect Device’..." Li Ming’s eyes narrowed.

He remembered that Benny mentioned that part of the energy coefficient problem had been solved by him.

If he wanted to delay the production progress, he would have to choose to solve the energy coefficient problem, covering up the progress and leaving an unsolved challenge.

"What a cunning old fox..." Li Ming lay in wait quietly, still many questions unanswered.

"Two days ago, I suggested we create some urgency, to have Connet retract those promises he made to him." Benny muttered with his head down, then with some annoyance:

"As a result, Connet rejected my suggestion, wanting to wait a bit more..."

Hubert sighed helplessly, "The clash between Azure Dragon and Theo has scared everyone."

Speaking of this, he also appeared quite shaken, "Grey Eyes’ development progress is over 90%, the burst energy level could reach S Level, yet he was injured by Azure Dragon..."

Benny fell silent for a long moment, then spoke solemnly: "This Azure Dragon, who knows where he popped out from, disrupted all our plans."

"Fortunately, when I exchanged with Connet two days ago, although he was scared, he still had confidence in dealing with Azure Dragon and the rest."

Li Ming’s brow slightly furrowed.

"Teacher..." Hubert sat aside, looking somewhat helpless, "You really have to..."

"I have to!" yelled Benny, his eyes fervent: "That’s the Ascension Source Crystal, which can not only enhance life form potential but also..."

Before he could finish, Benny stopped, turned to look at Hubert, and said gravely, "Don’t you want to rebuild the Glory?"

"Rebuild the Glory?" Li Ming was puzzled, a series of thoughts interweaving in his mind, scenes he hadn’t paid much attention to before suddenly surfacing in front of him.

"Is this guy a remnant of the Ascenders?"

He finally understood how Connet had resolved the sublimation particles issue.

"Can it be successful?" Hubert sighed, having little aspiration for the so-called Ascender Civilization.

Instead, due to past experiences, he had to hide and flee for many years.

"Don’t worry, the Ascension Source Crystal, at least requires Alpha Level members to qualify for use, the Torch Organization must cooperate with us." Benny reassured, thinking Hubert was worried about the plan afterward.

"I trust you." Hubert could only say so, his deep pupils filled with worry.

...

"Alpha Level members?"

Half an hour later, Li Ming had returned to his room, not quite understanding what they meant.

This must be a high-level secret of the Ascenders.

"I wonder if that Ascension Source Crystal can be controlled." Li Ming pondered if he could control it, he wouldn’t have to worry so much.

"Enhancing life potential..." Li Ming recalled Benny’s suppressed excitement, "Could it be increasing development potential?"

If that was the case, then that would be a big win, waves of excitement couldn’t help but arise in Li Ming’s heart.

But he quickly suppressed these thoughts, shaking his head.

According to information obtained from Benny, after the production of the Sublimator, it might be the moment the Torch Organization shows its true colors.

"...With the skills I’ve shown at that level, Connet still has confidence in dealing with me?" Li Ming was a little uneasy.

Connet’s suppressed emotions hadn’t disappeared, they were just accumulating, waiting for a bigger burst, and the fuse was the Sublimator.

He speculated about Connet’s state of mind and became increasingly cautious about what Connet’s trump card could be.

They have now left the Torch Organization’s main base, which made things a lot easier. The main goal now was to steal the Dimension Crystal and then make a run for it.

Stealing wasn’t really the toughest part, Li Ming lightly clicked his tongue, the tricky part was dealing with the aftermath.

Connet’s "confidence" was indeed a great concern for him.

As he was contemplating, there was a knock at the door, and it was surprisingly Theo again.

Li Ming still did not refuse him at the door, as if the recent fight had never happened, and cordially invited him in.

Seeing Azure Dragon, who appeared completely unguarded, Theo’s grey pupils shifted, "Aren’t you afraid?"

"Afraid of what? We don’t seem to have any grudges, right?" Li Ming stroked his chin, still interested in pouring a cup of water for Theo, "No poison."

He and Theo had no real hatred, just different goals.

Theo still needed him to produce the Sublimator, which involved the noble refugee’s plan for revenge.

If he were facing an enemy with a deep-rooted grudge, Li Ming would have tried to eliminate the threat early on, rather than meeting with the adversary multiple times.

Theo was silent, then went straight to the point, "I can accept your proposal and help you seize the Dimension Crystal of the Torch Organization."

"Then you need to help me grab the Sublimator, even if it’s not finished."

This was the compromise Theo had thought of. After stealing the Dimension Crystal, they would definitely have to face the Torch Organization, and it would obviously be impossible to continue staying here.

The only option was to also take the unfinished Sublimator. Although they wouldn’t have the facilities and materials needed, it’s better than getting nothing at all.
