This is really not mechanical ascension Chapter 38 - 38 38 Large-scale Bounty, Upgrade Detection Dev

38: Chapter 38: Large-scale Bounty, Upgrade Detection Device 38: Chapter 38: Large-scale Bounty, Upgrade Detection Device The entire floor fell silent as everyone looked up.

Old Dao, who had been looking through so data, quickly walked up to Sun Changxing, looking at the virtual screen with furrowed brows.

“As expected, we’re in big trouble…”

“A million-level bounty…” Old Dao’s face was tense as he glanced at Li Ming, who was breathing slightly rapidly, and explained:

“You know about the Black Hole Network, right?

It’s…”

“…To post a bounty there, you must first deposit an equivalent amount of guarantee money.

That’s three million Star Coins, soone with deep pockets…”

“Isn’t this a good thing?

These three guys aren’t exactly saints.” Li Ning said with confusion as Old Dao gave him a glance, berating him with a mix of disappointnt and anger, “How could you ask such a stupid question?

Look at Li Ming, he didn’t even ask.”

Li Ning: “…”

“These three old guys are all E-class life forms, with years of accumulation and a full set of auxiliary equipnt, their lairs are practically fortresses.

How many people in Silver Grey City do you think are confident they can kill them?”

“Uh…” Li Ning was at a loss: “If not, then why…”

“Interstellar bounty hunters drifting in space…” Li Ming uttered.

“Indeed, the interstellar bounty hunters.” Old Dao walked over, his brow furrowed, his inherently rigid face now looked like carved stone:

“The person who posted the bounty didn’t do it to take these three people down but to attract a large number of bounty hunters.”

When a high bounty appears on a small planet, it just turns into a carnival for the bounty hunters.”

Silver Grey Star is but dust between the stars, without even a Sky Space Shield, bounty hunters co and go as they please.

“Big trouble is brewing…” Old Dao sighed.

Using themselves as bait, these guys are ruthless enough, offering a bounty on the high ranks of Silver Grey Star, which would attract the attention of the Blue Star Civilization.

But if it’s just three gang leaders, Blue Star would naturally not bother.

It couldn’t be related to my own killing of Scar-faced Tiger, could it?…

Li Ming pondered, perhaps it had truly beco the fuse, igniting this ss.

The high bounty stirred the city guards into an uproar, prompting the higher-ups to convene an ergency eting.

With this chaos unfolding, no one had left their posts until dawn.

Li Ning yawned, feeling sowhat sleepy but, with his superior physical condition, he could still handle it.

“Shit, those higher-ups held a eting all night and couldn’t co up with a plan.

They just decided to tighten up the spaceport inspection,” he complained, dragging Li Ming to breakfast:

“Our Silver Grey Star is a small place, we don’t even have a Sky Space Shield.

Bounty hunters could land anywhere, how can we inspect?”

“We just do as we’re told by those above,” replied Li Ming with a shrug.

Li Ning looked at him skeptically, “Why do I get the feeling you’re not too worried, but rather quite excited?”

“It’s the sleep deprivation…”

After they finished breakfast and returned, the previously weary crowd had already resud their busy routines.

Old Dao who was passing by pulled Li Ning aside, cursing and fuming:

“Goddammit, the Rose Society people stord into a dayti bar in the city and started brawling, and soone recorded it and spread the video, causing an uproar.”

“Haven’t they stayed out of the inner city for years?” Li Ning was surprised.

“Who the hell knows, those bastards must be tired of living!” Old Dao gritted his teeth.

A large squad had already been dispatched with the intention to get the Rose Society to pay.

The video played, showing a scene inside a bar; it was noisy, filled with groans and cheers.

Li Ning’s eyes widened, “Is this what they were ‘doing’?”

“Don’t take it lightly, it’s a big deal and has already spread beyond Silver Grey Star, sparking debates on various entertainnt forums.”

Old Dao said through gritted teeth, “Compared to injuring or killing soone, this sort of incident actually attracts more attention!”

……

“Who did the Fierce Tiger Gang job!” In a small room, Qin Xiao spoke in a deep voice, “Are you that impatient?”

“I’ve already told you to play it cool, soothe them first, don’t let them get suspicious.”

“Really think you’re invincible, huh?

With a wave of your hand, you can suppress everything, want to intimidate?

You’ve intimidated jack shit!”

“They’re too bold, actually thinking about flipping the table,” soone said coldly.

“And what can you do?

You think Star Creation Company is here just for show!?”

The few black silhouettes at the round table fell silent.

“If you don’t want to die, don’t just do whatever you please from now on!” Qin Xiao gritted his teeth.

Fucking deadweight teammates, don’t they understand the principle of boiling a frog in warm water?

Hacking away with a big knife only provokes stronger resistance!

Fuck!

……

After finishing lunch, they finally ended their shift, letting so go ho first to rest before coming back to replace others.

More than a day later, Li Ming finally got ho and couldn’t wait to open the Black Hole Network—the bounty section—current location.

As expected, there were several million-level bounties hanging at the top, and now there were even more, big and small bosses from the three major gangs, ranging from ten thousand to one hundred thousand.

Even the Red Rose was among them, worth eighty thousand Star Coins.

anwhile, the ssage bar had a little red dot, Red Rose had sent him a ssage seven or eight hours ago.

“How much do you know about Scar-faced Tiger’s case?”

Li Ming thought for a mont and counter-asked, “What’s going on with your Rose Society today?”

After waiting a mont, Red Rose replied, “The boss ordered it, said to give Silver Grey City a special kind of shock.

The effect wasn’t bad, right?”

The outer three Black Gloves really want to flip the table—since you want to rid of us, don’t bla us for stirring up the entire Silver Grey City, dragging everyone down off their high horses!

“Are there any other actions to follow?” Li Ming asked.

“It’s your turn now, little brother.”

“The city guards suspect it was the person who killed Pang Wenlong that made the move.”

“The three major gangs will unite; Silver Grey City is going to be in chaos, little brother, take good care of yourself,” followed by a blowing kiss.

Li Ming shook his head, his gaze returned to the bounty page, and he beca pensive.

All those Star Coins were there for the taking.

“No rush, it’ll take so ti for the Bounty Hunters from interstellar space to arrive,” Li Ming cald himself down.

Now is not the ti to act.

The chanical arm can’t be used overtly, otherwise it’ll beco a target.

Better to wait for the chaos to ensue, to fish in troubled waters.

Ti to boost my strength, he mused, in the short term, Grade D items were out of his reach; he could only start with the gene seed.

Getting over the 30% hurdle, the developnt speed had sowhat slowed down.

Li Ming took out the detection device, aiming to upgrade it to Grade E to increase the developnt speed, then to combine it with the developntal drug.

He should reach 90% quickly.

If he could trigger lightning, his strength would undoubtedly climb to another level.

Like the Fierce Tiger Gang’s gene seed—Ferocious Tooth Tiger, which increases speed and strength, it’s incomparable to Elental Power.

He was now flush with resources, directly spending 300 points of tal energy.

[VK-2 Gene Detection Device—Grade E: An advanced version of the gene detection device with even smaller errors.

……

Control Effect: Developnt speed boost—60%

Control Ability—Potential Enhancent: Adds a 120% boost to developnt speed.]

Base boost of 60%, ability boost of 120%, combined it’s nearly twice the enhancent!
