This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 793: Chapter 411: Night Moon Company_2

"I remember, its theoretical data is about absorbing life essence energy and transforming it into alchemy material." The Creator Divine Craftsman’s expression shifted.

In an instant, the mechanical carrier unfolded, with metal mechanical structures assembling at blinding speed, every part precisely in place, while arcs of blue-white electricity arced within it.

His carrier turned into a cubic metal structure, with countless fine rays of light weaving into a complex network, beginning a deep analysis of the blood seed before him. Every microscopic particle’s movement and every energy fluctuation was precisely captured and calculated.

"Indeed, it is life refinement. In that ancient civilization, this was also forbidden knowledge, highly expanded and with an astonishingly broad scope and conversion efficiency." The Creator Divine Craftsman’s mind focused, "Imperial garrison, he’s entangled with Ryan, the transportation coordinates are 1247.2563.7645.****, which is a life planet of the Kote Federation Republic."

"What are they planning? Are they preparing for this blood seed to devour a mysterious planet?"

The Creator Divine Craftsman quickly speculated, "Not just one planet, this is the T-24 Escort Ship, part of the Empire’s regular fleet, if it were only one, such a transport fleet wouldn’t escort it."

"A large-scale interstellar massacre?"

The unfolded mechanical structure retracted, becoming a carrier again, the Creator Divine Craftsman felt a stirring.

"If that’s the case, it seems like a great opportunity indeed. With such a scandal, I’m sure the Empire would pay some price to cover it up."

"Royal Mechanic Association..." His expression was gloomy; recently, he’d received news from several parties.

The Royal Mechanic Association is secretly contacting the Federation and the Star Cluster Republic Alliance, intending to take advantage of the turbulent interstellar situation to dismantle the Mechanic Association and claim it for themselves.

Some old fellows on the Federation side seem ready to proceed with Divine Craftsman certification, first sharing the speaking rights of a few Divine Craftsmen.

Divine Craftsman certification requires at least two Divine Craftsmen to jointly certify, or, like the Azure Dragon, to gain universal recognition.

Azure Dragon’s situation is unique and hard to reproduce; one needs to become a Casting Star Mechanic first.

If he had known earlier that Azure Dragon was at the Divine Craftsman level, he would never have let the other party join.

Previously, the Mechanic Association had only two Divine Craftsmen; as long as he said no, no one could become a Divine Craftsman.

But now there’s an additional Azure Dragon, and it seems he’s not entirely on their side, which adds too many variables.

If he could just persuade that fool Mechanical Soul, the Mechanic Association could have at least one more Divine Craftsman, or even more.

"Hopefully, this current accident will bring different variables." The Creator Divine Craftsman decided to collect evidence first, then throw it in the Empire’s face after the massacre occurred.

...

Night Moon Biological Company, its headquarters is located in the core area of the Chaotic Star Gap, known as the "Chaotic Star Core."

Many of the Overlord-level figures of the Chaotic Star Gap reside here.

Upon exiting the Star Gate, the surrounding spatial energy light faded like a receding tide, and the scenery outside the porthole once again became a gem-studded dark universe.

A grand cluster of massive buildings appeared before them, with the main structure made up of huge structural beams and alloy plates.

Interspersed among them were complex energy pipelines, with flowing light swiftly shuttling through them. The exterior lines of each building were extremely sharp, forming unique geometric shapes.

Surrounding it were giant metal ring bands, seemingly the residential area for employees, with various flying devices coming and going continuously.

This place is not open to the public, responsible only for external receipt and dispatch, only allowing permitted ships to arrive here.

Steel fortresses were scattered around the Star Gate, with several ships waiting and broadcasting a signal.

"Welcome, esteemed guest."

The two parties docked, and Flowing Shadow docked at a Star Port; such a warship certainly couldn’t enter the core area of the other side.

Upon boarding the small ship of the other party, someone was waiting, showing a polite attitude, "Esteemed guest, I am Dorian, assistant to Lord Shepherd, ordered to await your arrival here."

"Thank you for your efforts." Li Ming replied courteously; he was here incognito, and had informed Shepherd of his coming as the Azure Dragon in advance, hoping for confidentiality.

"I’ll first take you to the rest area, Lord Shepherd is busy and might not have time to see you, Lord Monika will come instead," Dorian said, as the ship was already moving smoothly towards the company headquarters.

Li Ming nodded, and Feder and Robbin exchanged a glance.

The ship docked at a ring, then switched to a small flying device.

The rest area arranged for them by Shepherd was a standalone villa with complete facilities.

After a brief look, Li Ming, accompanied by Dorian, went to meet the so-called Monika.

Watching the two leave and return to the room, the remaining Feder and Robbin started mumbling.

"Do you think Li Ming is really here to get an S-Class Genetic Seed?"

Robbin rubbed his chin; on the way here, he had discussed much with Feder.

Li Ming definitely wouldn’t come without reason; if it were an X-Class seed, it seemed Boss Qinglong wouldn’t let Li Ming get it.

After thinking it over, the most likely thing was the S-Class Genetic Seed.

"As expected, Boss Qinglong always prepares in advance, though Li Ming’s development progress isn’t even at 30% yet." Robbin was full of envy.

"Such things will eventually be useful, and there’s nothing wrong with preparing early." Feder didn’t care much; due to their different backgrounds and experiences, he and Robbin had quite different mindsets.

Robbin pouted; not accustomed to abundance, he walked to the window, looking at the majestic architecture up close, and couldn’t help feeling a bit emotional: "I never thought I’d be able to come to the headquarters of Night Moon Company one day."

However, not knowing why, he ground his teeth for a moment.

"What’s wrong? Thinking again about the guy who intercepted your genetic seed along the way?" Feder guessed as much, well acquainted with Robbin’s old story.

"Yeah." Robbin replied sulkily, "Although it’s been a long time, it still feels a bit annoying."

"Especially as your status and strength grow." Feder added.

"Your Highness understands well." Robbin said sarcastically, not bothering Feder, who asked, "This is Night Moon Company’s headquarters; why not try finding out who intercepted it?"

"Hmm..." Robbin was tempted for a moment but shook his head, "Forget it, so much time has passed, it didn’t really cause me any loss, even if I found out who, I can’t just go kill them, can I?"

"Better not know now, although it’s occasionally annoying to think about, it’s nothing really."

Feder didn’t mind, giving a thumbs up, "Magnanimous!"

Robbin’s face darkened.

...

"Please."

Outside the meeting room, Dorian sidestepped to open the door for Li Ming.

Monika was already waiting here; she was Shepherd’s daughter and also an A-level life form, standing behind the desk.

Her cheeks were white and delicate, like finely polished, dressed in a black turtleneck top accentuating graceful lines, with a long skirt slightly slit, resembling a black swan.

"Mr. Li Ming." She smiled, acknowledging Li Ming’s identity, gesturing with her hand.

The two sat facing each other, exchanging subtle scrutinizing glances.

Monika spoke first, "I must apologize, sir; my father is caught up in work and can’t make time."

"I understand." Li Ming shook his head, getting straight to the point, "How long will the custom creation my teacher requested take? By now, it should be almost complete."

Azure Dragon couldn’t urge Shepherd multiple times, so Li Ming had to step in.

Monika explained gently, "You arrived at just the right time, my father is already wrapping up, taking as short as three days or as long as five days."

Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, understanding it’s longer than Shepherd originally said, but comprehensible.

Monika proactively asked, "My father specifically instructed me to take good care of you, sir; this is your first time visiting here, shall we take a look around?"
