Although the energy and ammunition supplies of the Sihali Kingdom are insufficient for their own use, it would be much simpler to modify this mechanical body into a version suitable for cultivation.
The so-called puppetry techniques in cultivation are also quite powerful. However, because Li Xingkong has too many and too varied things to learn now, learning another puppetry technique would only slow down his cultivation progress. Therefore, he only has a relatively superficial understanding of puppetry at this point.
However, with this ready-made body, it would be much easier for Li Xingkong to transform it into his own puppet.
If you can't build a car, can't you at least modify a stolen one?
After eliminating this backup respawn point, Li Xingkong adjusted his next objective.
The place where Xuan Qingzi's consciousness was uploaded was on this planet.
The so-called virtual world is designed to create a virtual main city and platform for civilized players, allowing them to engage in activities that are inconvenient to replicate in reality.
For example, repeatedly defeating a certain boss, becoming familiar with the combat methods of other civilizations, and learning survival skills in the universe are all much more convenient in the virtual world.
If Xuan Qingzi successfully uploads the data, then Li Xingkong will only have one way to deal with him—to shut down the server of this virtual world.
But putting aside everything else, the consequences of this are enormous.
He wasn't sure if Fang Ritu under control.
Although they had an agreement, and Fang Ritu seemed very sincere, all of this depended on Li Xingkong's swift action and the fact that it did not cause too much damage.
After all, no matter how different their political views are, Fang Ritu and Xuan Qingzi are both people of the Sihali Kingdom, and he cannot allow Li Xingkong to cause such widespread destruction.
He supported Li Xingkong in order to consolidate power in Xuan Qingzi's hands, not to clean up Li Xingkong's mess.
Although nothing was explicitly stated, Li Xingkong could easily see through it.
If he only wanted to make this one deal, then so be it; all he would do afterward was to fall out with Fang Ritu. But clearly, Li Xingkong didn't think that way.
Whatever the reason, they are allies at least for now.
Since everyone is cooperating and their respective goals don't conflict, Li Xingkong wouldn't mind considering things more carefully before taking action.
It's better to be on the safe side and cut off Xuan Qingzi's escape route in advance.
When Li Xingkong reached the node through which Xuan Qingzi uploaded his consciousness, the Sihali Kingdom had already analyzed Li Xingkong's objective.
He came here solely to kill Xuan Qingzi, and to annihilate him completely. He destroyed all the equipment related to Xuan Qingzi in the entire base, while other things remained largely unaffected.
Having identified Li Xingkong's motives, the subsequent arrangements within the Sihali Kingdom were mobilized.
However, Li Xingkong saw all of this mobilization.
With Xuan Qingzi's memories and being near a node that could connect to the virtual world, Li Xingkong directly connected to the virtual network of the Sihali Kingdom, and he was using Xuan Qingzi's account, which granted him the highest level of network access.
He had all the transfers and confidential documents under his watchful eye; there was no news he couldn't see.
"How's the situation?"
Li Xingkong was gathering intelligence in the virtual world when, after only a few minutes, an unfamiliar communication message reached him.
He didn't recognize the person who sent the message, since Li Xingkong had never connected to the network of the Sihali Kingdom before. However, the sender's avatar reminded Li Xingkong of Fang Ritu, whom he had just met.
At this moment, a person with a rabbit profile picture contacted him, which was clearly not someone else.
How did you know it was me?
Li Xingkong quite curious. He was using Xuan Qingzi's account, so theoretically he shouldn't have been detected.
"You underestimate our intelligence. Besides, this is my territory."
"You didn't tell me this guy would be this hard to kill before we came."
Li Xingkong muttered, "I've killed him a few times, but he still has many respawn points. It'll take a while longer."
The person's avatar flickered a few times, as if they wanted to say something, but then hesitated and stopped.
"As expected of you, so efficient. Leave the rest of the places to me. You just go to this last one; it's completely isolated from the outside world, so my words won't carry any weight there."
After saying this to Li Xingkong, the person's profile picture went dark.
A few seconds later, Li Xingkong received a bright red command on the network.
"A rogue AI has been detected infiltrating the real world via the following coordinates. Anyone who receives this message is hereby ordered to execute the cleanup command. Immediate execution is required."
The addresses attached to the instruction were clearly the locations Li Xingkong had just given to that person, and also Xuan Qingzi's resurrection points.
With Fang Ritu's help, we don't need to worry about those respawn points; someone else will take care of them. As long as we eliminate Xuan Qingzi's last respawn point, this operation will be considered complete.
"By the way, what is this thing?"
Li Xingkong remembered the scroll in his hand and casually asked a question.
The person's profile picture, which had been darkened, lit up again, but they didn't speak immediately.
After waiting for several minutes, during which Li Xingkong completely dismantled the node that transmitted his consciousness, the person finally replied to the message.
"Be careful, this is a weapon that Xuan Qingzi recently acquired, which came from an advanced civilization."
Seemingly afraid that Li Xingkong wouldn't believe it, the person even sent a link.
Li Xingkong Li Xingkong on it, and the scroll that was exactly the same as the one in his hand appeared in front of him first.
"Designated recycling type small Dual-Vector Foil "
The name was a bit strange, but Li Xingkong definitely understood what it was for.
Perhaps to intimidate, or to demonstrate strength, the link to this thing is described in considerable detail, especially regarding the weapon's power.
Just as Li Xingkong, this thing was a small Dual-Vector Foil, small in scope, controllable, and quite efficient.
What is Dual-Vector Foil? Although Li Xingkong had never seen one, he had at least read science fiction novels. This thing can directly reduce the dimension of the affected objects, turning them from three-dimensional to two-dimensional.
This is not like the space in Li Xingkong's hands, which is just changing the place to put people in. The transformation from three-dimensional to two-dimensional is a true dimensional reduction, a method of directly separating people from the current dimension.
According to the link, this thing comes from a second-tier civilization called the Li Insects. This civilization is different from all other civilizations in the universe. It is the only civilization that has ascended from a two-dimensional world, and what this civilization pursues is also different from other civilizations.
They only seek one thing: to ascend to a higher dimension.
Just like the ancient immortals who always dreamed of Shattering the Void, the entire Liworm Civilization didn't care about anything else, focusing all its attention on studying dimensional ascension.
It's as if the fighting and killing in the universe has nothing to do with them.
It was no easy feat for Xuan Qingzi to obtain this Dual-Vector Foil. Although it was just a return scroll for the Li Insects, it was an exile for other civilizations.
