206: Chapter 118: 15x Power Amplification!
“Finally, 30%,” Li Ming looked at the numbers on the screen.
For over half a month, he had significantly reduced even his usual rest ti, nearly working day and night.
He approached the energy level detector again and punched it.
Accompanied by a “beep beep,” a number popped up—152D.
This, of course, was not his normal state, as the “Sword Wing Knight” and the “lting Furnace Refining thod” inherently provided him with a 200% Power Amplification.
His normal energy level should be around 50D.
He swiped on the smart terminal: “After the developnt reaches 30% of the Thunderfla Fighting Ape Gene Seed, one can learn the Thunder Fla Fighting Fist, which inflates the arms several tis their size by stimulating the gene seed, unleashing up to three tis the strength, essentially two tis Amplification.”
The combat techniques learnable at low developnt progress were generally basic ones, but they were still decent.
As the developnt rate decreased further, such thods could still significantly enhance his strength.
Glancing at the ti, it was nearly twelve noon.
Guessing that Ding Hui should be arriving soon, Li Ming simply stopped his training.
Exiting the door, the atmosphere of the laboratory was starkly different; the cold tal walls were adorned with red stickers everywhere.
This was due to the “Yuanqing” celebration on Blue Star, marking the end of the old calendar and the arrival of the new one—similar to celebrations in his previous life.
A couple of days ago, he had contacted Yang Peng and Old Yang and had chatted for a long ti.
He also sent a ssage to the cripple.
He did not know where Old Wu had run off to; he had not returned yet.
“Counting the ti, it’s been half a year since I crossed over,” Li Ming reflected inwardly.
Though the lab seed lively, he had encountered very few people along the way.
Luo Chuan had given everyone else ti off; most had families and had gone ho to be with their children.
Soone like Li Ruoning, however, had gone out to party.
Outside the laboratory, the ground was even more deserted except for a few security guards on rotating duty—almost no one else was in sight, but the security asures of the laboratory were heightened.
The corner’s sonar detectors and particle energy monitors operated nonstop, preventing unauthorized access.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, a relatively large transport vehicle quickly approached from afar.
As it neared, the door opened and a figure jumped down—it was Ding Hui.
“Brother Ding, sorry to trouble you to bring things over on such a day,” Li Ming said apologetically.
“No worries, I’ve got no one to accompany and nothing better to do,” Ding Hui stated indifferently, patting the compartnt as the gull-wing doors on both sides of the transport opened.
Inside were stacks of sowhat worn-out chanical Heavy Hamrs, big and small, so even covered in rust, and even the ones in the best condition were sared with grease.
The scent of engine oil mixed with the stench of tal corrosion hit them.
“Tell , what do you need these scrapped things for?” Ding Hui asked as people began unloading, although only one driver had co along.
A few rotating security guards from the lab hurried over at Li Ming’s call, totaling four or five people.
Eventually, Ding Hui and Li Ming joined in as well.
“These materials are not bad; I’ll see if I can turn trash into treasure,” Li Ming said, holding a hamr, a light flashing in his eyes—
[Heavy Pressure Hamr—Grade E: Standard chanical heavy hamr, built-in heavy magnet, often used for adjusting detail in forge work.
Control Conditions: 600 tal energy
Control Effect: Power Amplification—50%
Control Ability—Heavy Pressure: Accumulate power for three seconds, obtain 150% Power Amplification.]
All the data was as expected.
Ding Hui was not surprised; these nearly scrapped items were of little value except for their raw materials.
When they sold them, it was by the ton.
“It’s the end of the year, just perfect for clearing out the stock, so I brought them all over, a total of 134 hamrs,” Ding Hui said after moving all the hamrs into Li Ming’s workshop and clapping his hands.
It was already noon, and Li Ming invited him to eat before leaving, Ding Hui did not decline.
The two went to the cafeteria, where only one chef was on duty, so the als were slower than usual.
Neither was in a hurry; they chatted while waiting, and Ding Hui ntioned sothing, “The special investigation team from Yitelan Civilization is almost here.”
“The special investigation team?
Is it to investigate the murder of Fu Zongchen and the killing of Youke?” He knew about this special investigation team since Luo Chuan had ntioned it a few days ago.
The death of Youke had not been widely publicized to this day.
Fu Zengchen’s murder, though publicly blad on the Torch by the higher-ups of Blue Star, was clearly a cover-up for the public.
The investigations into the deaths had not ceased for a mont during this period.
The Sela Civilization and Blue Star had even ford a joint investigation team, the specific mbers of which were confidential.
“Yes, those greenheads from Sela Civilization are making a fuss over the affair with Youke, and the upper echelons have already conceded a lot of benefits,” Ding Hui nodded, scoffing:
“Recently, this issue suddenly exploded on the native network of Sela, causing a strong public reaction.”
The Sela Civilization had kept Youke’s death under wraps, not even disclosing it dostically because the publicity could generate a reaction they might not be able to control themselves.
They were only interested in benefits, not in actually starting a war.
“The Torch did it,” Li Ming said imdiately.
“Who else if not them?” Ding Hui spat, “Wherever there’s Torch, there’s Yitelan Civilization involved.
They won’t tolerate Torch causing trouble.”
“However, due to the death of Fu Zengchen, the departure of this joint investigation team was significantly delayed.”
“Oh?” Li Ming was puzzled.
“Prince Bai Jiang.
Fu Zongchen was his man; not only is the man dead, but his armor was stolen too.
He must have been furious, stuffing a lot of his people into the investigation team,” Ding Hui explained, making a face: “It’s said that a high-profile person is coming.
To appease their dostic public, the Sela royal family is reportedly sending a royal mber.”
