Chapter 1197: Chapter 613: Monopolizing an Evolution Path
Li Ming, dressed as a Tank Guard, walked in. In their eyes, this was the Azure Dragon.
“Lord Azure Dragon…” Carter was the first to greet, standing quietly in the corner, her presence barely noticeable.
Benito fled, Sven betrayed, yet she did nothing, which ironically made her the biggest winner.
Others also spoke one after another, their gazes landing briefly on the Kashmir’s Spear in his hand before quickly shifting away.
Li Ming nodded casually, addressing Mikhail, “I’m still counting on you two to keep an eye on Gaius and the others.”
He didn’t have the corresponding monitoring asures in hand, so he could only ask them to do it for him temporarily.
“It’s a small matter…” Reynolds said nonchalantly.
However, Mikhail seed a bit hesitant and asked, “How does Your Excellency plan to deal with these people?”
He seed sowhat worried and added, “I personally suggest it’s best not to kill anyone; otherwise, this could only provoke the Three Great Civilizations to start a war.”
He feared the Azure Dragon might act impulsively and seek revenge against the Three Great Civilizations.
In his eyes, war wasn’t that simple. It wasn’t that the Azure Dragon would lose, but the costs during that period were too high, and the benefits weren’t that great.
It’s not like killing Adam or Malcolm would enable regi change or stop countless battles across the universe forever.
The Empire’s strength crushed the Holy Revolution Army, yet they remained active for thousands of years.
Recently suppressed to near extinction by the High-level Life Form Union, they now showed signs of resurgence.
The interstellar space was so vast that the high-ranking individuals couldn’t possibly Rush around everywhere.
“Of course, I won’t kill them.” Li Ming shook his head, “Trading prisoners gives the greatest benefits. Plus, I’m not a war maniac; starting a war doesn’t benefit either.”
He still needed these guys to fill the massive gap in controlling Kashmir’s Spear.
Hearing this, not only Mikhail but the others also sighed in relief, relaxing once more.
“Indeed…” Mikhail agreed, “We chanics are businessn. A stable interstellar environnt allows us to thrive.”
He gave a subtle glance towards Anduin and the others and said, “I have a plan that I’ve been pondering for so ti; I feel now is the best ti to implent it.”
“Oh.” Li Ming perked up, curious about what new wonders Mikhail might co up with.
“chanical Revival…” Mikhail uttered the words, capturing everyone’s attention.
He explained, “Thanks to the prototype of the chanical Seed supplied by Your Excellency, the research by Reynolds and I has progressed rapidly. I estimate it will take at most another six months to fully replicate it.”
“The chanical Seed has imnse value; it is the legitimate path of chanical evolution, and I plan to thoroughly spread it across the interstellar space to honor the original intent of establishing the chanic Association.”
chanical Seed, chanical evolution path?
Anduin and Sheffield exchanged bewildered glances, realizing they were hearing about sothing significant enough to influence the interstellar landscape.
The ergence of such a widely applicable evolution path was bound to cause a huge sensation.
“Indeed.” Li Ming nodded, understanding Mikhail’s thought process.
The technology surrounding the chanical Seed was sothing nearly only the three of them possessed, or to be more precise, only Reynolds and Mikhail.
Li Ming’s control ability allowed him to own it indirectly. The advantage was that the chanical bodies he controlled completely followed his orders; the disadvantage was that this thod couldn’t be widely implented.
Isn’t it obvious how great the benefits are from monopolizing an evolution path?
Seeing the Azure Dragon nod, Mikhail continued, “Thus, I plan to establish a company co-owned by the three of us, with Your Excellency holding a 50% stake, Reynolds and I holding 25% each, and selling the chanical Seed externally.”
“The first batch of chanical Seeds will be offered to the advanced chanical bodies within the Association, since they have been with us for a long ti and contributed quite a bit internally.”
Hearing this profit distribution, Reynolds showed no reaction.
However, Anduin couldn’t help but feel a bit disdainful, noting how skilled they were at currying favor.
Mikhail giving 50% to the Azure Dragon wasn’t just about flattering.
This endeavor couldn’t succeed without the Azure Dragon backing it; the Three Great Civilizations would undoubtedly try every ans to ddle in a new evolutionary path.
Li Ming’s eyes glinted, marveling at Mikhail’s adeptness in cutting deals, suspecting it wasn’t his first ti doing so.
Those advanced chanics were all affluent, promising a substantial gain.
Li Ming nodded, “This matter should indeed be prioritized; a new evolution path offers more choices for interstellar citizens.”
He had no objections to this profit-sharing approach. In the end, it was likely Reynolds and Mikhail who would do all the work, while he waited behind the scenes to collect the money.
“However, there’s one matter we need your help with beforehand,” Mikhail said, “The chanician Association needs to be untethered.”
“Untethered…” Li Ming mused.
The chanician Association was to be their best channel for selling the chanical Seed, and having chains around their necks wasn’t quite appropriate; this could lead to problems at the grassroots level.
With the universe so vast, they couldn’t address problems in each small civilization one by one; it was better to eliminate issues at the root.
“It might have been troubleso before, but now it shouldn’t be an issue…” Li Ming nodded casually.
The evolution path hadn’t reached its end, and an Eternal Abyss hung above his head, making Li Ming still sowhat resistant to the term “invincible.”
But many things he couldn’t accomplish before weren’t problems now.
Everything was different now.
Anduin couldn’t help but feel emotional; the chanician Association had been under surveillance for only a few years before it was to be liberated again.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t a chanic; otherwise, he could have gotten a share of the profits.
Perhaps he could arrange for a few chanics to handle these matters upon returning.
Sheffield also realized that they were the first to learn about this, and with the existing relationship, having so leftovers shouldn’t be an issue.
Finalizing this matter, Li Ming felt quite content.
They chatted casually, and from Anduin, he learned an unexpected piece of news.
“Rebuilding the Chaos Core near the chanical Court?” Li Ming was rather surprised.
Anduin nodded, “Correct, a few of us have discussed it. The Chaotic Star Gap holds a geographical advantage; actively or passively, after this period, more life forms than before will undoubtedly co here, so there must be a landmark structure.”
“So, we decided to rebuild it together.”
Rebuilding together… aning I don’t have to do anything, right?
Li Ming certainly wouldn’t refuse, as this brought benefits without drawbacks for him.
They casually chatted, maintaining a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere until Sheffield’s wristwatch-style smart terminal suddenly vibrated continuously.
He wore a faint smile, setting his wine glass on the bar casually before pressing it, which triggered a small virtual screen to pop up.
With just one glance, his face drastically changed, exclaiming in shock, “My company has been attacked!”
Hmm?
Li Ming’s eyes instantly focused, and with a flash, he appeared beside Sheffield.
“Attacked?” Anduin asked, his tone peculiar since Sheffield’s biotech company mainly focused on selling Gene Seeds externally.
Being a businessman who treated others well daily, it was unlikely he had antagonized anyone.
Moreover, even if soone raided his company, all they’d acquire would be a bunch of useless Gene Seeds since x-level Gene Seeds required customization.
Wait… Anduin suddenly rembered sothing. Hemod had bizarrely staged a scene earlier, not only trying to capture Sheffield but even intending to kill him ultimately.
Li Ming even spoke up, trying to prevent Sheffield from being taken away.
Seeing the Azure Dragon’s current attitude, he realized it was of significant concern to him.
What could the reason be?
He couldn’t help but speculate, his expression changing slightly, and soon he thought of one possibility.
Could it be… the Ultimate Gene Seed?
“…The attack happened sixteen hours ago?” Li Ming looked at the report from Sheffield’s subordinate on the screen, “The entire company was washed clean…”
This coincided almost exactly with the ti they entered the core node, and the Star Beasts he gave Sheffield to concoct the Gene Seeds were most likely sacked.
