Chapter 367: Robbing the Rich to Help the Poor
Gust was a little hesitant and wavering. At first he thought Li Yu was here to kill him and was terrified.
Later, various signs indicated that the other party had no intention of killing him, but was trying to recruit him, which made him relax a little.
But he discovered that the other party had some connection with Experiment No. 16, which made him panic again.
He no longer dared to guess the other party's purpose at will. After hearing Li Yu's question, he also thought about whether to use this as a bargaining chip to make conditions.
But he erased this idea the moment it appeared, and his experimental data were all stored in the experimental base.
The experimental base has been controlled by the other party. It will only take some time to retrieve the data, and then we can find a professional to explain it.
Without thinking for too long, he said, "Number 16 is very special. His appearance and internal structure are like those of an interstellar human, but in fact, this is not the case..."
Gust's face was a little stiff, as if he hadn't spoken to anyone in such a respectful tone for a long time.
Li Yu listened quietly and nodded from time to time. Dego and his men were driven away, while No. 16 looked at Gust with a sinister look.
These experimental data and characteristics were all obtained from him, and the process... he no longer wanted to recall it.
According to Gust, No. 16 has a very deep hidden quality. How deep is it?
In the six months since Gust got No. 16, he conducted countless experiments on his characteristics, but to no avail.
He once thought that No. 16 was just an ordinary interstellar human. If the Loren family had not specifically asked for him, he would have given up the research long ago.
But after all, he came from the Black Blood Research Institute. Gust spent a lot of effort and finally found the "α cell" in No. 16, which he named it.
"…This type of α cell has great potential. I have never seen such a special cell composition…"
Gust is fanatical, and although he has the potential to become a businessman, he barely maintains the exploratory spirit of a scientific researcher.
He is very concerned about alpha cells.
"But the number of these cells in his body is very small, and it seems that..." Gust paused here, as if thinking about a simple and easy-to-understand term:
"It's like it's locked, almost unusable. I've used various types of cultivation energy to stimulate it, but nothing works."
"The extracted α cells cannot act on other life forms, and may even cause other life forms to die..."
"So I suspect that in addition to alpha cells, there must be other things in his body that have not been detected."
“…”
Gust talked a lot more, but the most crucial thing was still the α cell. He now used a large part of his energy to decipher the α cell, but unfortunately to no avail.
Number Sixteen was trembling slightly, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to chop Gust into eighteen pieces.
Anthony glanced at him, and No. 16 suddenly felt a chill and woke up instantly. He suppressed the anger in his heart to avoid doing anything unwise.
Although he and Li Yu were both experimental subjects in the same laboratory, they did not have much interaction before.
Under normal circumstances, they don't even see each other in the laboratory, let alone any support.
So now he has no capital to show off, so he should stay calm. He has suffered enough and he can only leave here peacefully.
Li Yu secretly thought that the α cells should be related to Titans, and they were probably researched in the laboratory they grew up in.
According to Gust, the alpha cells were locked, and the key should be the legacy from Titan, so Li Yu was able to achieve the "unity of body and soul".
However, they should only be semi-finished products. The real finished product should be like Li Yu is now, or even more perfect than he is now.
It was just that Li Yu completed the unsuccessful experiment by chance.
"…Reinhardt said that the Star Empire has been researching the theory of the unity of body and soul for a long time. I'm afraid it has something to do with that laboratory…"
The only thing Li Yu is not clear about now is who is the force behind the laboratory. However, as his strength increases and he comes into contact with higher and higher levels, he will find out sooner or later.
"Trouble ..." Li Yu frowned. He didn't want to take over the trouble of his previous life.
Now it is no longer a question of whether he wants to take over or not. As his strength and fame grow, the value of his experiment is also indirectly confirmed.
Others don’t know anything about systems, clones, etc. They just think that it is their experimental results that made Li Yu’s strength improve rapidly.
The Loren family has already attacked him many times through their own channels.
Unless that laboratory has made a breakthrough in Titan research, they will not let it go.
No... Even if there is progress, they will not let him go. After all, Li Yu is their "item".
Li Yu narrowed his eyes, not knowing when the other party would make a move.
"Sir, do you have any other questions?" Gust asked tentatively in anxiety.
Li Yu’s silence made him extremely anxious, and he desperately wanted to know what would happen to him.
Li Yu saw Gust's worry and suddenly laughed. He walked up to Gust and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you are still useful..."
Hearing this, Gust breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it is useful, it's fine. I'm just afraid that it is useless.
Unfortunately... No. 16 gritted his teeth and stared at Gust.
Number 16 was standing not far behind Li Yu, and Gust was facing Li Yu, so he also saw the angry look in Number 16's eyes.
Originally, Gust was a little worried that Li Yu would send him to No. 16 to vent his anger, but now he was much more relaxed. His eyes met with No. 16, with a deep-hidden sneer in them.
After all, it's just an experiment.
"But before that, there is one more thing..." Li Yu continued, and Guster's heart, which had just calmed down, was lifted up again.
"Gather all the personnel in the entire experimental base." Li Yu ordered.
Stanley left as he was told, but Gust felt vaguely uneasy in his heart. However, looking at Li Yu's half-smile, he could only force a smile.
What follows is routine operation. These scientific researchers who have lived in the experimental base for a long time do not have a very firm mind.
Li Yu simply pinched a ball of energy and waved it in front of their eyes, and most of them were already frightened. After a few times of back and forth, and with the help of the [Spiritual Mentor], the transformation was completed.
Only Gust took him some time, but now with Anthony here, this guy has a lot of little ways to torture people.
Gust didn't hold on for long before his will collapsed and he became a fanatical follower of Li Yu.
When Li Yu led everyone out of the experimental base, No. 16's face was still a little dazed. He couldn't help but look at Gust next to him, who had a calm expression but only revealed his fanaticism when he looked at Li Yu's back.
In a very short time, he saw that Gust had collapsed mentally under various tortures and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Then, after Li Yu said a few casual words, he regained his spiritual support and looked energetic again.
Has he been out of touch with the stars for too long?
All signs indicate that Gust has become Li Yu's puppet.
The shadow in No. 16's heart suddenly dissipated. Gust's current appearance was probably more painful than death, and his will was completely distorted.
Although he still possesses Gust's memories and appearance, he is no longer the same Gust.
"Gust, how...do you feel?" he couldn't help but ask.
“I feel like it’s better than ever before.”
Gust looked at Li Yu's back while speaking, his tone full of piety and respect, and then he looked at No. 16:
"Mr. Sixteen, I didn't know that you and Mr. Li Yu came from the same laboratory. I apologize for being so offensive."
No. 16 looked at Gust's serious expression and sincere eyes, and felt an indescribable fucked-up feeling. Was there any point in him taking revenge on this guy now?
"Forget it, it's okay..." No. 16 shook his head listlessly, and the last spark of revenge in his heart disappeared.
Dego and others were waiting outside the experimental base. Li Yu had already reached a deal with Hasband, so everyone calmed down.
"Mr. Dego, I'll leave the people in this experimental base to you." Li Yu said calmly, turning his head and saying:
"Gust, you will leave with Dego after this."
"Yes!" Gust nodded solemnly, his respectful attitude made Dego look sideways.
What conditions did Li Yu offer to subdue Gust so quickly? Dego couldn't help but secretly gasp, but said:
"Don't worry, I will definitely take you all to your destination safely."
A roar was heard, and the Dunbu had arrived above the planet and was landing.
The abnormal alarms on Planet 3 and the high-energy reactions in space have attracted the attention of the local guards of the Gilbert Galaxy.
But unfortunately, the A-level life forms responsible for guarding this place had already evacuated, and this small galaxy did not have much guarding force.
They could only defend Gilbert Main Star and dared not show their heads at all.
"Are you leaving now?"
Mia couldn't help but ask, which immediately attracted a lot of people's attention. The reformers looked at them strangely, while Stanley and others looked calm.
This made Mia's chubby face flush a little, and she explained in embarrassment: "I... I just want to ask, are you so confident in handing over the people in the experimental base to us?"
Li Yu looked at her, his calm eyes made Mia dare not look up at all, "I believe that those who were willing to rescue the strange spaceship will not break their promise."
Hearing these unexpected words, Mia couldn't help but look up. Due to the previous battle, the sky nearby was clear and the sunlight fell on Li Yu's face, shining like gold.
Mia's eyes gradually became blurred...
"Cough cough..." Dego coughed dryly a few times, which made Mia, who was gradually losing consciousness, react and quickly turned her head away.
Silly child... Dego couldn't help shaking his head. How could Li Yu be using this as an excuse? He was obviously afraid that the Reformers would bring people to deal with him, yet he still tried to make such a high-sounding excuse.
Then, he looked at Li Yu with dissatisfaction and said, "Why do you have to fool the little girl if you are on guard against the reformers?"
Looking at Mia's current state, she will inevitably be sad in the future.
However, Li Yu is indeed good-looking, and he is famous at a young age. Just two or three words from him can make a little girl like Mia fall in love with him.
If he was also a woman, maybe... Thinking of this, Dego hurriedly stopped the thought in his mind.
Li Yu had already boarded the Dunbu with his men, and he originally wanted to use this spaceship to take his men away.
But now that we have the free labor of the transformers, there is no need for the Dunbu.
He was not afraid that the Reformer would break the contract. To be precise, he and the Reformer were still in an ambiguous period, and holding Gust hostage would not cause much loss to Li Yu.
More importantly, the reformers have no reason to deal with Li Yu. The two are not enemies and even have common interests in some aspects.
However, this does not mean that he trusts the reformer, so he wants to leave early to prevent Hasband from going crazy and suddenly attacking him.
The solution to this matter also solved some of the mysteries of its predecessor, so it was generally satisfactory.
Li Yu pondered: "Next, we'll go rob a few more chambers of commerce and find some materials that Payton needs. The Terran Chamber of Commerce... the most evil capitalist is you!"
The Terran Chamber of Commerce is an old friend of Li Yu. The catfish leader on Tianhuang Star tricked him and pushed him into the vortex of the imperial aristocracy, which made him remember it for a long time.
There is no Terran Chamber of Commerce in Guixing, but purple crystals are almost everywhere.
The situation within the Amethyst Civilization is now extremely chaotic, and it is a good time to fish in troubled waters.
Dial Kansa's communication and ask for insider information, such as which place the Tairen Chamber of Commerce has weak guards and which place the Tairen Chamber of Commerce has rich material reserves.
"Sir, where are we going next?" Stanley asked as usual.
Li Yu, who had just hung up the communication, casually threw a coordinate over, and the spacecraft entered the jump state and headed towards the destination.
Everyone was doing their own job. No. 16 felt a little uneasy in the corner. He was used to staying in the corner because among those transparent glass covers, only the corner could give him a sense of security.
Little Peter kept looking at this "newcomer" from time to time. As a person who did not belong to this group, he had a good impression of No. 16.
Li Yu has no time to deal with No. 16 now. He is looking through the system log. It has been a while since the last time he checked it. Several pieces of information were refreshed again, which were about clone No. 2.
Nothing major happened for the time being, and he was still wandering in the universe. Apart from some miscellaneous items, there were almost no rewards worth noting.
[Obtain special item - Wormhole Teleporter: Enter the space coordinate system, and you can teleport system items to each other over long distances. ]
This thing is pretty good and may come in handy soon.
It can only transmit system items, which is a bit limited.
This thing is equivalent to wormhole express delivery. Many chambers of commerce provide wormhole express delivery services. The price is extremely high and it is a high-end service.
However, it is still much better than Wormhole Express, because Wormhole Express does not connect with individuals, but rather connects with branches of the Chamber of Commerce, which requires transit time and manpower for delivery.
