Reunion Dinner

As soon as he opened his eyes, Li Ming was plunged into these tumultuous interstellar spaces, where countless civilizations held their shotguns at the ready, eyeing everything in the universe with covetous intent. For him, the most crucial issue at hand was solving the problem of food and warmth.
Fortunately, he could control special items and gain special ability bonuses—
【Thunderclap Armored Exoskeleton—Grade D】
【Control Effect: Power Amplification—100%】
【Control Ability—Armored Four Arms: Develops four mechanical arms to aid in combat, and amplifies control by 50% with Thunder Element.】
He could even evolve it—
【Electromagnetic Power Engine】→【Cold Nuclear Reactor】→…【Stellar Furnace】
………
An evolutionary path with no boundaries in sight, a supreme arsenal spread across the galaxies, and a grand expedition fleet casting endless blood and fire.
When Li Ming unfolded the prism wings that covered planets and fired the super-range photon lasers, and the Stellar Furnace in his chest blossomed with a brilliance far surpassing the sun’s, supported by computational power from the Quantum Photon Calculator...
In the universe, countless life forms exclaimed, "Flesh is weak; ascend through machinery!"
Li Ming helplessly said, "but this really isn't mechanical ascension..."

This is really not mechanical ascension

The Tank Guard ascending from B level to A level requires nine million, but now upgrading to S level needs one hundred million metal energy.


Having it absorb the metal energy from the Black Gold Source Stone directly cut the amount by half, and after subtracting the ninety million reserved for Dark Night, only a little over twenty million remained.


Even the metal energy from the Ascender's Source Crystal wasn't enough.


This calculation left Li Ming slightly dazed. Just like that... it's gone?


But it was only a brief confusion. After all, metal energy is meant to be used to enhance strength; it won't grow on its own.


As for the control over the Ascender's Source Crystal, there's no rush. Its more significant role is to assist, which looks very powerful in the long run.


But for now, he should focus on enhancing his strength first.
