This is really not mechanical ascension Chapter 215 - 215 122 Finally Able to Reduce the Cooldown Ti

215: Chapter 122: Finally Able to Reduce the Cooldown Ti of Switching Controlled Objects_2 215: Chapter 122: Finally Able to Reduce the Cooldown Ti of Switching Controlled Objects_2 Li Ming suddenly smiled, and the dagger in his hand disappeared, his smile bright and sparkling, “Oops, just kidding, look how scared you are.”

Chen Yan’s throat moved, her face pale as death, and all she wanted now was to leave this place.

She forced a smile in agreent, then hurriedly left.

Was he really that frightening?

Li Ming shook his head; of course, he wasn’t rely trying to scare Chen Yan.

He also wanted to see if, through the Torch, he could find out who the other group was.

“After all, I am one of your key investnt targets, nearly shorted by soone.

You should at least check it out,” he murmured, opening the box on the ground filled with the knick-knacks he had bought that day, taking control of each one.

What he valued most was the [Soul Mask].

[Soul Mask–D-grade (Damaged): Created with hafnium alloy as the main material in combination with a quantum matrix.

Control Conditions: 6000 points of tal energy

Control Effect: Concealing Blessing–100%

Control Ability–Psychic Shielding: Distorts one’s image in the eyes of life forms below D-grade and in common surveillance equipnt.]

After he took control, he tried it out, using a smart device to take his picture.

The entire image was indeed distorted, but it didn’t disappear completely; it was like a mist.

He then proceeded with an upgrade, investing 60,000 points to raise it to C-grade.

The heavily faded half-face armor returned to a pale gold color, and a series of stripes and channels ford a unique pattern.

The Concealing Blessing beca 150%.

Li Ming had not tried out this effect before; he feared that it needed to be stacked to an extrely high number to change.

The ability could now shield against C-grade life forms as well as advanced surveillance equipnt.

After experinting again, he found that the original mist-like image had turned into sothing like a distorted transparent body, barely noticeable if not looked at closely.

Li Ming was very satisfied; whatever he did next would be even more concealed, but now he only had about 40,000 points of tal energy left, which made him clench his teeth—it was vanishing too quickly.

He had to think of a way to get more.

…

Chen Jinglong, the dean, was very efficient, and early the next day, the items were delivered, stored in a large storage device.

“The teacher said that the items must be personally delivered into your hands no matter what,” said Yuan Hong with a smile brimming with aning, gold-rimd glasses and a suit making him look even more like a scoundrel than yesterday.

“Please thank the dean for .

Going back, tell him to rember for any good deals like this,” Li Ming teased.

Yuan Hong was in a hurry, setting the items down and then leaving, apparently having other matters to attend to.

Rubbing his hands together, Li Ming couldn’t wait to move them into his room.

As the cold mist spread, the silver storage box opened, and a chanical arm lifted a tal cabinet, carefully laid out with ten ore stones of varying sizes.

Each had different colors and were contained in separate tanks, mostly imbued with strange powers.

Li Ming couldn’t help but rub his hands together; enhanced by Mother Ore, the Controlled Objects could potentially obtain abilities similar to superpowers, which were quite powerful.

The frequently used Controlled Objects had already been strengthened by Mother Ore, but there were a few left.

Also attached to the storage device were several sticky notes, each bearing the na of a Mother Ore.

A quick search on the Star Network revealed their traits.

“The dean is quite generous, saying ten pieces, and indeed giving ten,” Li Ming grinned, feeling quite pleased, not expecting the dean to have so many Mother Ores.

He absorbed them one by one, and the Special Energy refined from these Mother Ores should last him a long ti.

“What if I cut these Mother Ores in two, would I get two portions of Special Energy?” he mused aimlessly.

The birth of Mother Ores required extrely fortuitous circumstances, and unless particularly massive, they were usually not cut, as certain traits could easily be damaged by the cutting.

Soon, the last piece was also absorbed, a neat array of ten types of Special Energy displayed on the Control Bar.

Just as a sense of satisfaction began to surge in Li Ming’s heart, a prompt popped up on the control page—

[Do you want to consu ten portions of Special Energy to reduce the cooldown ti for switching Controlled Objects?]

Hmm?

At first, Li Ming was startled, but then he perked up instantly.

Special Energy is needed to reduce the cooldown ti of switching Controlled Objects?

Li Ming was surprised.

This was indeed an accidental discovery.

Without this unforeseen incident, he had no idea how long it would have taken to accumulate ten units of Special Energy.

It was not because of the difficulty, but rather because he would probably have to expend it, which made it hard to keep accumulating.

“Couldn’t even give a heads-up,” Li Ming shook his head, naturally choosing to consu, to reduce the cooldown ti for switching Controlled Objects.

On one side of the Control Bar, neatly arranged rows of Special Energy vanished, one after another.

Information that seed to co from nowhere flowed through his mind, “The original two-hour wait ti, now only requires one hour.”

“It’s been reduced by half, huh.”

Li Ming felt quite exhilarated, but then he thought about it and his face fell, “With the nature of the Control Upgrade, next ti it probably will require consuming 100 Mother Ores.”

The more he thought about it, the more it seed to be the case; a halving again next ti, probably from an hour to half an hour.

If it kept halving, in the end, the energy consumption would increase, and the ti saved would beco less and less.

“A few minutes of reduction would probably be enough; I could switch several tis in one bout,” Li Ming imagined the future.

Power form, speed form, defense form, comprehensive form, possibly even a Superpower form, it would definitely be aweso.

He couldn’t help but burst out laughing, then sobered up at the thought of the necessary consumption, “Alas, there is much to do and a long way to go, but at least now I know what can be used to reduce cooldown ti.”

Back to reality, he needed to keep his feet on the ground and continue developing the gene seed, until the night deepened.

When he went to sleep at night, he dread that he had opened a treasure chest full of Mother Ores.

But those Mother Ores had gone crazy; they grew mouths and legs and chased after him, biting at his heels, which scared him into breaking out in a cold sweat.

“This won’t do, being chased by Mother Ores.

I have to absorb them all.”

Li Ming gritted his teeth and covered his head to take revenge.

The night clouds gathered thickly, and lightning flashed suddenly, followed soon after by a gathering of raindrops, which fell down with a pattering sound.

In a high-rise apartnt, the curtains were tightly closed, and the room was only dimly lit.

Several figures sat casually on the sofa and chairs, none of them speaking.

It wasn’t until the doorbell rang that a half-body image popped up on the wall-mounted screen.

It showed a man in a blue rain cape.

“Open the door…” The voice was muffled.

Soone opened the door, and the scent of the rain rushed in, droplets of water dripping from the edges of the raincoat as he entered.

“Firework Master…” the people inside addressed him.

The Firework Master said impatiently, “What’s with the dark lighting?”

Flipping a switch on the wall, the overhead lights turned on, and columns of bright light illuminated the entire room as if it were broad daylight.

The pupils of the few present contracted montarily, remaining silent.

“I’ve called you here for two things,” he said, shaking off his body, scattering droplets all around as he looked around:

“First, did any of you make a move against Li Ming yesterday?

Was it your people?”

“Our people have all been caught.

No one knows who that heavy-armored unit and sniper belong to.” Several people shook their heads around the room.

“Find out as fast as possible.” His tone grew stern, “A Level 16 developntal potential, only he could draw [Superpower Istanbul]’s attention.

If he dies before the plan, all our efforts will have been in vain.”

“He must not be lost!”

“We understand.” The people nodded in unison, faces filled with resolve.

“Another thing, the Firework Apostle is coming.” As soon as the words were out, the rest showed a mix of excitent and fear on their faces.

The Firework Master continued as if he hadn’t noticed, “However, due to one incident after another on Jingnan Star, the difficulty of smuggling has increased significantly.

It’s going to be troubleso for him to get in.”

“Do any of you have a way to deal with this trouble?”

“This…” The people exchanged glances, and finally, their gaze settled on one man, in his thirties, with an ordinary face and a stubbled beard.

He hesitated, “Although I have been undercover in Jingnan for many years, the channels I’ve co in touch with are not high-end.”

The Firework Master frowned and was visibly annoyed, “Who killed Fu Zongchen?

Any leads?”

“Not at the mont.” This ti, soone chid in quickly: “It’s said that the investigating team has even started to suspect that soone at the scene has a Space-related Superpower.”
