This is really not mechanical ascension-Chapter 51 - The 100,000 Star Coin Bullet - Armor Upgrade

“Minglong Alloy casing, built-in triple-ring micro thruster, stabilizer, Compressed Super Electromagnetic Energy, high-burn crystalline body…”

“Isn’t this just a miniature missile,” Li Ming thought, his expression becoming increasingly strange.

The sparrow may be small but it has all the vital organs, and its power was immense.

On its own, after being fired, it could extend its range to over 10km.

A direct hit on the vital parts of an E-class Life Form would almost certainly be fatal.

“Note: Due to the bullet’s excessive power, please ensure that the firearm used can fire it.

Otherwise, there might be a risk of the chamber exploding.”

Below was a helpful remark; the heavy sniper rifle in his hands should be able to fire this bullet.

“Section Chief Feng, I hope this gift is one you can withstand,” Li Ming naturally had in mind that particular Section Chief Feng who had set his sights on him.

This old fellow had repeatedly targeted him and would certainly not let things slide easily, suspecting his connection to Feng Xiao’s death.

More crucially, he was actually right to suspect.

Li Ming had no intention of sitting around waiting for the end.

It was a good opportunity since the other party had a bounty of a million Star Coins on his head.

It was an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

The only uncertainty was whether he could assassinate Section Chief Feng.

The target’s security measures would certainly be extremely tight, and he would undoubtedly have a lot of life-saving equipment, especially with the Bounty Hunters rampant.

The lethality definitely had to be assured; the power of electromagnetic armor-piercing bullets was not sufficient.

This bullet worth a hundred thousand Star Coins should be enough.

He placed the order immediately; with no time to travel to the outer city, he chose another method for receiving his goods.

“Receiving it through the Giant Shield Company, in the form of a pickup slip number…” Li Ming filled in his information, for which he had to pay an extra 10% shipping fee.

It was safer but more expensive because it was a private channel between the Giant Shield Company and the Black Hole Network, which required a gratuity.

The transportation fee for this bullet had reached twenty thousand Star Coins, and he cursed the Black Hole Network under his breath.

The bullet would take three days to arrive.

“It must be sourced from outside…” Li Ming guessed, glancing at his balance with only two hundred thousand left, he suddenly lost his breath.

Money was flowing out like water.

But he spent the rest of his money on Zircon Crystal Alloy, less than two tons.

This would arrive quickly, by tomorrow, and would also be stored at the Giant Shield Company.

Order successfully placed, the balance was just a little left over.

…

By nine, back at the City Defense headquarters, as expected, the special training room was now at his disposal.

He trained until midnight, and once it was forcefully shut down, Li Ming left, moving to the public measurement device.

He squeezed out a drop of blood—91%.

The progress, which had been stuck for a while, had advanced once more.

Li Ming felt relieved; although the pace was slow, he should reach 100% in no more than a couple of weeks.

I hope during this time, I can gather enough merits to exchange for an E-grade gene seed.

However, moving with the main force indeed felt quite restrictive.

But it’s not without benefits, at least, I don’t need to go out of my way to find the whereabouts of Bounty Hunters.

Returning to the private rest room, which was neither large nor luxuriously furnished, just a simple desk and bed, Li Ming lay on the bed and turned on the portable intelligence terminal he carried with him.

Yang Yu had quite a few unread messages, sharing some amusing stories, complaining about not being able to go out at will, and asking if he had any insider information…

Early the next day, Li Ming went to the Giant Shield Company, already familiar with the route; in the inspection room, he submitted his order number and collected the goods.

The box in front of him was small, and upon opening it, he found it contained Zircon Crystal Alloy, which he absorbed completely in less than five hours.

This time it provided nearly two thousand points of metal energy, bringing the total to 2382.

Upgrade the array armor!

700 points of metal energy dissipated.

Under the close-fitting uniform, a series of metal plates emerged, the touch not cold, but rather warm and more enveloping, something previously absent.

He pulled open his shirt and glanced at the metal plates, which were finer, more densely packed, and flowed much faster than before, with a noticeable increase in sturdiness; ordinary firearms and even large caliber weapons probably couldn’t even scratch them.

[Advanced Magnetic Control Armor–E: Made of superconductive magnetic materials, offers extremely strong impact resistance, and with the help of an Array System, it can quickly stack up defenses.]

…

Control Effect: Defense enhancement–100%

Control Ability–Intelligent Array: It can appear wherever you need it at any time.]

With defense enhancement now at 100%, after switching to Control, he suddenly felt a clear change.

Pinching his skin, which was still tender, there was now a toughness; it would probably be difficult for a life form still at F energy level standard to break his defense.

In the future, perhaps he could specialize in items that enhance defense or other areas.

Active abilities couldn’t be stacked, but passive effects could, Li Ming mused.

The metal plates moved closely along his body, and even though his uniform was already quite snug, there were still no signs to be seen.

Satisfied, he left the place and returned to the Security Headquarters, taking some time to visit the 223rd floor; he wanted to have a chat with Li Ning, but unfortunately, the guy was out on duty.

Perhaps it was due to the assembly of the special action team, but the next two days were calm, with no action from Bounty Hunters.

Silver Grey City, which smelled of an approaching storm, suddenly quieted down.

But everyone understood that this was the calm before the storm.

“Chief Feng is planning a funeral for his son?”

As Li Ming left the special training room, he received a notification from Yang Peng—their group members were gathering in a small conference room.

“Just got the notice.

A lot of big shots in the city will be present, and we need to maintain security at the scene,” Yang Peng continued, “When I say ‘we,’ I mean the entire special action team.”

“Is Chief Feng an idiot?” A muscle-bound man named Peng Gang, two meters tall with a buzz cut, said in a deep voice:

“Those Bounty Hunters are just worrying about how to find an opportunity, and here Chief Feng jumps right out.”

Li Ming kept silent; to him, this seemed like an opportunity as well.

But somehow, it felt a bit off.

“All the top brass of the city guard gathered, right, and if someone throws a nuclear bomb, it’ll wipe everyone out in one fell swoop,” joked the long-haired man cleaning a metal folding knife.

“Old Yao!” Yang Peng scolded and then said, “Just follow the orders, and keep the chatter down.

Don’t wander off these next couple of days.

We need to conserve our energy.”
