Duke Bai Ye stared at the virtual screen for a long time, his expression growing increasingly grim.
Li Ming was secretly astonished. The fact that this matter had been dug up indicated the extent of the screening this time.
He had been prepared early on and had discussed it with the dean. He hadn’t expected Ren Cangsong to also know about it, which made it unnecessary to put in extra effort.
However, how did Duke Bai Ye know? Ren Cangsong wouldn’t let this guy get involved, right?
"Your Grace might want to think about how to deal with the Torch Organization instead of always focusing on internal strife," Ren Cangsong said indifferently.
Duke Bai Ye snorted coldly, unable to save face, and quickly left with his people.
Upon leaving the command center, Duke Bai Ye stopped and with a cold expression, turned to glance at someone behind him, "Hiley, if there’s information like this in the future, remember to verify it thoroughly before telling me!"
"Your Grace, I..." the man named Hiley said, shamefully lowering his head, yet his eyes seemed to be pondering something.
After Duke Bai Ye left, Li Ming then asked Ren Cangsong if he had found any trace of Chen Yan.
"Not yet," Ren Cangsong shook his head, glancing at him, "but it’s just a matter of time, as long as she’s still on this planet."
Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, Ren Cangsong’s words having an implied meaning, "As long as there’s no grave crime, even if it’s the Torch, the problem isn’t too big."
Li Ming didn’t mind and continued to chat with Ren Cangsong for a few more sentences. From him, Li Ming learned that within the Blue Star Civilization, quite a few Torch members had been screened out.
Some had been lurking for years, even over a decade, rising to high positions, but this time they were activated to investigate everything happening on this small island.
Feder’s expression was solemn, "This type of Advanced Torch won’t be used lightly. Torch this time is really determined to find out what exactly happened."
"The sunken costs for Torch this time are too high, the continuous flow of resources coming in must yield a result," Ren Cangsong sighed. Torch’s desperate trend was not good news for Blue Star.
He was very busy, and after a while, he hurriedly left, while Feder’s tone held a slight trace of interest, "Torch had made a move around you, they wanted to recruit you?"
"I initially thought it was recruitment, but it turned out they only saw me as food," Li Ming said, lying on the bed and chatting intermittently with Feder.
His mind, however, was occupied with planning his next moves. Securing metal energy was the urgent priority with so many things needing it.
In the current special circumstances, it was difficult for him to leave this command center.
With too many onlookers here, it was inconvenient to do anything, and metal energy was temporarily unobtainable.
Moreover, he himself didn’t want to leave, as this place, with a B-level Life Form in command, was very safe.
Thinking hard, he found no good solution. He then turned his thoughts to the C-level gene seed.
The development progress had already exceeded 50%, and if he could master the Flame Thunder Evolution Theory, the speed of development would skyrocket. Considering it now was not too early.
Flame Thunder Evolution Theory, Gene Homotopy Evolution Theory, Secret of Liberation—all these complemented each other, and once he reached a C-level Life Form, his strength would leap qualitatively.
The only open channel was through the Yitelan Civilization. Unless absolutely necessary, Li Ming would not consider buying from the black hole network, as it was too costly.
But Yitelan Civilization wouldn’t provide it for free either, and that was another troublesome vortex.
He pondered this and sent a message to Wu Yanqing to see if there was a way to get it for free.
It would be best if he could secure another ace up his sleeve, just in case.
His notebook had one more requirement added—something like the Night Pursuer, which could temporarily elevate him to a C-level Life Form. It brought significant enhancement to him.
After gaining control of the Philos Battle General Armor, his burst strength had greatly improved.
Armed with Thunderstorm Fervor, he now had the ability to confront most C-level Life Forms, not just escaping or fighting head-on but even potentially killing them.
Thunder Master was a powerful combat occupation. Li Ming was not yet ready to consume the Philos Battle General Armor and solidify it permanently.
Its data enhancement capabilities, combined with Thunderstorm Fervor, were supremely powerful and not considered a waste of a Control Bar.
After pondering for a long time, none of his current needs could be satisfied, which made Li Ming feel somewhat frustrated.
Feder kept talking nonstop. Seeing that Li Ming wasn’t responding, Feder became slightly sullen.
The two had routine checks every day.
That day, just after the gentle nurse had finished with the check-up, someone hurriedly came searching for Li Ming, clad in the robust Moon-devouring Armor, belonging to one of Blue Star’s top special combat squads, his gaze fixated on Li Ming.
"Moon-devouring Squad, Major—Chen Dahai." Stepping forward with one hand cradling his helmet, he introduced himself with a solemn expression, exuding the aura of a battle-hardened soldier.
"Major Chen..." Li Ming looked at the face, faintly recalling it as someone he had seen somewhere in this command center, though he did not have a deep impression.
"What is it?" Li Ming inquired, judging by the other’s posture that he was likely looking for him.
"Earlier, Chen Yan was captured. She mentioned some things that might need your help with the investigation," Chen Dahai got straight to the point, "I hope you can come with me."
Being captured and giving him up was also unsurprising.
He considered saying, "Where? I will not leave this command center."
"The person has already been brought back, right inside the command center," he said gravely.
"In that case, I can go," Li Ming stood up, and Feder also stood up, but then heard Chen Dahai say, "Lord Feder, this is an internal interrogation of the Blue Star. It’s best that you stay here."
