This is really not mechanical ascension Chapter 62 - 62 62 Detection Device Upgrade - Genetic Radiat

62: Chapter 62: Detection Device Upgrade – Genetic Radiation Device (Seeking First Subscription!) 62: Chapter 62: Detection Device Upgrade – Genetic Radiation Device (Seeking First Subscription!) Having hung up Yang Peng’s call, Li Ming paid no mind to it, reflecting on how much more troubleso Tu Zheng was than he had anticipated, while caressing the tal fra of the smart terminal in his hand.

Tu Zheng was nothing short of a wily old turtle.

“Why won’t he leave this place?” Li Ming suddenly asked.

The benefits Tu Zheng had reaped over the years were undoubtedly substantial; leaving Silver Grey Star, he could live comfortably anywhere else.

“Of course, he wants to leave, but he’s got to be able to,” Ah Hu sneered coldly.

“He’s nothing but a dog raised by Star Creation Company.

If he dares to break free from the chain, Star Creation Company could snuff him out effortlessly.”

“The interstellar seems vast, but he can’t even leave this star system!”

Star Creation Company, this was a behemoth transcending civilizations, best at liaising with less advanced civilizations through support agreents to obtain rights to resource extraction, draining the fish pond dry, notorious for its deeds.

“Star Creation Company…” Li Ming pondered; the relationships among the three major outer-city gangs, Star Creation Company, and the upper echelons of Silver Grey City were complex and interdependent.

“If he doesn’t leave, once the sixth patrol fleet arrives, he’s as good as dead, right?”

“No, the patrol fleet won’t interfere with the internal affairs of a planet, that’s the rule.” Ah Hu was quite inford.

“Until the last mont, Star Creation Company won’t abandon them either.”

“There are many things Star Creation Company can’t do directly.”

At this point, Ah Hu scoffed, “If Star Creation Company, outer-city gangs, and the high-level officials of Silver Grey City work together, they might actually be able to blunder through this.”

“Too bad, the high-level officials of Silver Grey City have developed ulterior motives, or perhaps out of fear, have begun to trim down the three major gangs.

Do they really think Star Creation Company is just sitting around doing nothing?”

Human nature is unpredictable, let alone such fragile and dark interests.

Li Ming didn’t care much about this, instead asking, “Your Black Hole Network account and password.”

Ah Hu divulged without concealing, directly telling him.

After logging in, Li Ming was quite surprised: “This clean?”

The balance in the other party’s Black Hole Network account was only a few thousand, far too little.

If not for the many contacts within, he would have thought it was a secondary account.

The few mbers he had eliminated before each had at least tens of thousands in their accounts, with so having over a hundred thousand.

With the added bounty, Li Ming’s previously depleted Star Coins had surged to seven hundred thousand.

He had originally thought that, being Tu Zheng’s adopted son on the surface, this guy’s net worth had to be considerable.

He flipped through the spending record and found that every ti this guy amassed a hundred thousand, he would withdraw it to a certain account.

Following the account, Li Ming was taken aback—[Blue Star Public Donation Account].

All donated?

Li Ming hesitated for a mont, then let Ah Hu down before speaking indifferently,

“If I am to kill Tu Zheng in the future, it’s inevitable that you’ll need to cooperate.

You’d probably be quite willing, right?”

Ah Hu hesitated, “You’re not going to kill ?”

The image of the other party killing like cutting grass had deeply embedded in people’s hearts; he didn’t expect to beco the first person to survive at his hands.

“Disappointed?

If you want to die, I wouldn’t mind sending you on your way,” Li Ming said.

Ah Hu sheepishly made a couple of noises, “No need, no need.”

He couldn’t help but ask, “When you snuck in just now, you weren’t discovered, were you?”

If he had been discovered, whether he could have survived would have been in question.

“This place leaks like a fishing net, aside from Yang Peng, no one knows I’ve been here,” Li Ming shook his head, fading into the shadows.

“Beep—beep—”

The smart terminal that Li Ming had set down rang again.

Ah Hu took a deep breath and struggled to prop himself up, inching his way over to it.

As soon as he connected, he heard Yang Peng roaring, “I’m telling you, this is Silver Grey City, not lawless lands, you…”

“Brother Peng, it’s …” Ah Hu interrupted, leaning on the sofa with his upper body, still convulsing from ti to ti.

“Ah Hu?” Yang Peng was taken aback, then dubious, “You’re not dead?”

“He let go.”

Yang Peng’s brow furrowed, myriad speculations raced through his mind, but when it ca to speaking, he only said, “Glad you’re alright…”

“Brother Peng.”

“Hmm?”

“I feel, he doesn’t seem like a bad guy,” Ah Hu hesitantly said.

Yang Peng was speechless, feeling kind of ludicrous: “Good or bad isn’t written on one’s face.

Even though he let you go, we can’t just jump to conclusions because of that.”

…..

Two hours later, Ah Hu hurriedly arrived at a seemingly dilapidated building.

After nodding to the guards by the door, he walked to the foot of the stairs.

A glowing cyan light enveloped his entire body, followed by the sound of gears grinding as the floor slowly retracted to the sides, revealing a thick tal door underneath the wooden planks.

“Specter!

Who the hell popped out of thin air!

He insists on opposing my Fierce Tiger Gang, I want him dead!”

“I want him dead!”

In the corridor, Ah Hu could already hear Tu Zheng’s furious bellow.

….

Killing Tu Zheng should be off the table for now, too risky.

Li Ming mused, as the seven hundred thousand Star Coins could buy a lot more tal materials.

He glanced at the tal energy—3105

After upgrading the four-ard machine, he had a little over two thousand left.

The surplus ca from when he slaughtered the Fierce Tiger Gang’s cadres, scouring their tallic creations, as well as the proceeds from their ard prosthetics.

He did discover quite a few things that could be controlled, but most were garbage, except for one item—

[Electro Tremor Heart Pacemaker—F-level: Can save a life at so special monts.

Control Conditions: 40 tal energy

Control Effect: Surgical first aid—elentary

Control Ability—Powerful first aid: Enhances 40% of injury recovery speed.]

It ca from a Fierce Tiger Gang cadre with a heart problem, nad—Liang Hong, also known as Sick Tiger, responsible for selling illegal drugs.

Its function is healing, which at tis can be quite useful.

With three thousand points left, it was far from enough to upgrade the main combat Controlled Objects, but enough for the evolution detection device.

The developnt of the gene seed was equally crucial.

Throwing three thousand tal energy into it, the detection device underwent a dramatic change amidst brilliant light.

The palm-sized device transford into a ter-long rectangle, its faint red tal casing smooth, and its original buttons and screen all disappeared, replaced by a projection probe.

[F-11 Genetic Radiation Device—D level: Upgraded multiple tis from the basic genetic detection device.

…

Control Effect: Developnt speed booster—100%

Control Ability—Genetic Radiation: Enhances developnt speed by 200%, and the gene seeds can undergo slow self-developnt.]

What is this?

Li Ming, after seeing it clearly, was sowhat stunned.

After activating the ability, the overall tripling of the developnt speed was within his expectations, but the gene seed’s self-developnt was rather remarkable.

Doing nothing, the gene seed would develop on its own?

Of course, such developnt speed must be very slow, but it was non-stop and benefited from the enhanced developnt speed.

Li Ming let out a long sigh of relief and imdiately switched his Array Armor to the Genetic Radiation Device.

In an instant, he felt the difference.

His cells seed to resonate at a certain frequency, his body warming up as if soaking in a hot spring.

Contacting Yang Peng, the latter began with a torrent of scolding, “Where the hell have you been!?

Why haven’t you co back!?”

“I thought you’d died out there!”

“Do you know how dangerous it’s been outside?

Five Fierce Tiger Gang cadres died in a single night!”

“That guy called Shadow hasn’t left yet.

How co he didn’t just collect your bounty as well?”

Li Ming’s expression remained calm, holding his smart terminal at a distance.

“Alright, hurry back, the interstellar inspection team is arriving the day after tomorrow, so stop wandering off!” Yang Peng’s anger finally subsided, and he cautioned once again.

Li Ming gave a perfunctory response and ended the communication.

Then, he opened Black Hole Network, ready to buy tal materials as usual, but a pop-up appeared—

“Custors with frequent delivery addresses on Silver Grey Star, please take note, due to force majeure, to protect your interests, delivery-related services of Black Hole Network will be suspended for a while in two days, other services remain unchanged.”

“Huh?” Li Ming was surprised, imdiately realizing this was because of the arrival of the Sixth Patrol Fleet and the interstellar alliance inspection team.

The Black Hole Network certainly wasn’t afraid of those people, but the local branch definitely didn’t want to attract trouble.

“I better make the purchase now,” said Li Ming quickly spending seventy thousand Star Coins, all on Zircon Crystal Alloy, deducting shipping costs, approximately weighing just over six tons.

This ti, delivery would be within 24 hours, a day faster than last ti, quite an improvent in efficiency.

Checking the smart terminal, he saw a ssage from Yang Yu: “Hurry back, the person who wanted to buy your house is here again.”

The ssage was from an hour ago.

Li Ming’s brows slightly raised, the house was sold by Li Changhai and originally belonged to him.

However, there were potential issues like the underground passage, which could be quite troubleso if discovered.

…

Half an hour later, in Old Yang’s shop, a slightly overweight middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was now sitting on a small stool, chatting and laughing spiritedly with Old Yang.

“Li Ming is back,” Yu Zhili stood up, his smile becoming even more eager, “Co, co, sit down, sit down.

Hard work, hard work, Silver Grey City relies on guards like you for protection.”

This guy’s attitude took Li Ming by surprise, and he glanced at Yang Yu standing behind Old Yang.

She spread her hands wide, looking just as baffled.

“Mr.

Yu, once I’ve sorted so things in the house, I will move out,” Li Ming said.

“No need to move, no need to move…” Yu Zhili waved his hands repeatedly, “I didn’t know before, but later I realized this is a ho that has been in your family for three generations, surely there are feelings attached, how could I seize sothing dear to soone?”

Li Ming slightly furrowed his brow, feeling wary at unsolicited favors; they usually spelled trouble.

His tone cooled, “Mr.

Yu, it’s probably better for us to proceed according to the law.

If I don’t move out, wouldn’t that make a trespasser on soone else’s property?”

“What soone else’s property, this is yours,” Yu Zhili insisted, and then took out the paper contract signed by Li Changhai and himself, and ripped it up on the spot.

“Brother Changhai was also in a hurry at the ti.

I see you are an upright person, just consider it my contribution to the city guards,” Yu Zhili emphasized:

“Rest assured, young man, Old Yang’s shop has surveillance.

Later you can retrieve the video and keep it as evidence.”

He’s so thoughtful?

Li Ming was puzzled, and Yang Yu looked astonished.

Has this uncle lost his mind?

“All right, I won’t stay long.” Having said that, Yu Zhili made to leave.

Old Yang got up, but Li Ming said, “Old Yang, please remain seated, I’ll send him off.”

Outside the door, he called after Yu Zhili.

“Mr.

Yu, your actions have left completely baffled.

Could you clarify the reasons, so I might feel at ease?”
