Danger Strikes

The Mechanical Arm's original energy level was 130 points, but it unleashed 350 points.

This had only one explanation—Su Ming, who was in front of him, was a Brain Domain Developer. His Brain Domain Level had to be above 120 points for the Mechanical Arm, with only 130 points, to unleash 350 points.

Warren was speechless as he looked at Su Ming, feeling how mysterious he was.

The mechanical skills were honed to a suffocating degree, and he was also a Gene Warrior who had developed his brain domain!

This was simply impossible.

Even this energy level... an energy level above 120 points, was completely within the scope of a Level 2 Gene Warrior. Did this mean Su Ming was already a Level 2 Gene Warrior?

Even if he started training from the womb, it would be difficult to master both simultaneously, right?

Warren felt a bit flustered.

It was important to know that Gene Warriors were also categorized. One type had developed their brain domain, and the other had not.

Those who had developed their brain domain could pilot Mechas, greatly enhancing the Mecha's combat power.

Those whose brain domains were undeveloped relied solely on physical strength. Although they could contend with Mecha Warriors in terms of combat power, they always lacked the amplification from their Brain Domain Level.

"Is it that strange?"

Su Ming looked at Warren in surprise and shook his head.

"It's incredibly strange!" Warren nodded very seriously, then asked, "You're clearly a Gene Warrior, and you could have come out to help the front lines without following the law. Why did you come here to waste five years?"

Hearing Warren's words, Su Ming was silent for a long time before shaking his head. "I didn't come here to waste time!"

Warren was stunned. He glanced at Su Ming, vaguely feeling that Su Ming seemed to have some unspeakable difficulty. He then smiled and quickly changed the subject. "I really envy you. I also want to become a Gene Warrior, but..."

"Hmm?" Su Ming looked at Warren curiously.

Warren gave a wry smile and then said, "My family is poor. I can't afford the medicine to unlock the Gene Lock, and the best time to unlock it has passed! So, it's just like this..."

There was a hint of sadness in Warren's eyes.

However, Su Ming quickly shook his head and disagreed. "The Gene Lock is just a lock. It doesn't matter when you open it. As long as you keep cultivating, your genes will continue to accumulate energy, and it will all erupt the moment you unlock the Gene Lock in the future!"

Warren was stunned, then asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Su Ming nodded seriously.

This viewpoint was completely different from the mainstream Gene Lock concept in interstellar society.

Interstellar society believed that cultivation could only yield corresponding results after the Gene Lock was unlocked; any cultivation before that was merely building a foundation for the body.

However, Su Ming cultivated a different technique from mainstream society, giving him a different perspective on genetic matters!

The Gene Lock was just a lock; it wouldn't prevent the body from continuing to cultivate.

"In that case... I'll resume my gene cultivation from today. In the future, if it's really like you said, once I save enough money, I'll buy a gene serum myself and unlock my Gene Lock!"

A flicker of hope reignited in Warren's eyes, making him look full of vitality.

Su Ming smiled and nodded.

"Let's go! We're going back!"

"Alright!"

Back in the dormitory, Su Ming placed the Mechanical Arm beside him, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Su Ming was quite pleased with this Mechanical Arm.

Moreover, on a logistics planet like this, there were many disputes. Having a Mechanical Arm for self-defense was also reassuring.

Then, Su Ming's consciousness sank into his body, observing the changes in his internal strength.

Warren's guess was not wrong. After a week of cultivation, Su Ming had directly advanced to the Level 2 Gene Warrior stage.

With the boost from Starlight Points, Su Ming's cultivation speed was more than ten times faster than before!

What originally would have taken one to two months to advance to Level 2 Gene Warrior had now been achieved in just one week.

Su Ming's Physical Level and Brain Domain Level were now: 131 points and 124 points, respectively.

Ultimately, the Brain Domain Level advanced more slowly. Even though Su Ming's mechanical skills were solid, allowing for relatively rapid improvement, it was still slower compared to the Physical Level enhanced by Starlight Points!

Su Ming shook his head and immersed his consciousness, preparing for his daily cultivation session.

The day's work, including disassembly, carving, and reassembly, had brought him over 40 Starlight Points.

These Starlight Points would once again support Su Ming's cultivation for the night.

But at that moment, Su Ming's eyes snapped open, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his gaze.

What was going on?

Su Ming was inwardly alarmed, but having cultivated the Starry Sky Limitless Heavenly Art, his perception of aura and danger had reached an extremely acute level.

At this moment, he clearly sensed something amiss gradually approaching him.

Su Ming didn't dare to continue cultivating. He picked up the Mechanical Arm he had just modified from beside his bed and looked warily towards the door.

He could feel it. The sense of unease was coming from outside the door.

Although Su Ming couldn't pinpoint what felt strange, the sense of vigilance in his heart didn't diminish one bit.

Suddenly, a soft sound came from outside the door, like the click of a trigger.

The sound was extremely faint. If it weren't for the fact that it was already nighttime and the surroundings were quiet, Su Ming probably wouldn't have heard it.

Almost instantly, a terrifying sense of crisis washed over Su Ming.

Without hesitation, Su Ming's body instantly flickered to the side.

The next moment, the bed behind him exploded, and flames instantly engulfed the room.

"Ding!"

Su Ming didn't hesitate. He immediately equipped his Mechanical Arm, then broke through the window and smashed it open before jumping out.

He rolled on the ground and landed steadily.

Behind him, the room was already an inferno. If Su Ming had been a moment slower, he would have been shot dead, leaving no trace behind!

A wave of fear washed over Su Ming. He then moved, running out of the mechanical workshop.

"Huh?"

Just then, Su Ming heard a soft exclamation enter his ears.

Immediately, a man in plain clothes, with a calm expression, walked out of the darkness.

He glanced at the fleeing Su Ming, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Didn't they say this Su Ming was an idiot?... Could the Young Master have been deceived by him?"

"Fortunately, the Young Master was cautious and specifically sent me to deal with him..."

"Today, I shall eliminate this potential trouble for the Young Master!"

The man muttered to himself, then his body moved, instantly disappearing into the night.
