These are interstellar creatures that can only be born in specific star domains.
His genetic sequence is equivalent to being useless, hence his sudden generosity.
"Lord Theo, during the ambush on Bryrim, I noticed your assassination skills were extremely superior, so I would like to learn from you," Li Ming shifted the topic to another level.
"Learn from me?" Theo was even more surprised, feeling like the other party was just making conversation.
"Practice more." He uttered two words.
Li Ming was persistent, "Isn’t there any special technique or a weapon you’ve used for many years that I can observe?"
"Weapons?" Theo sized him up, becoming more cautious, "No, nothing at all."
"I see." Li Ming pondered, "Then I might need to follow you for a while to observe, is that alright?"
Theo’s face turned dark, this was getting annoying.
If it were Sandro or Ulrich, he would have just laughed it off, because neither of them could have discovered him.
But for some reason, Azure Dragon always managed to track him.
He threw a dagger, pinning it to the wall, expressionless, "This was a weapon I used a long time ago, I’m giving it to you."
Li Ming raised his hand, electromagnetic lines spread out, pulling the dagger stuck in the wall, his expression paused, "Broken?"
"Never mind then." Theo frowned, Li Ming took it, his eyes lighting up, "I’ll take it."
[Shadow Blade Short Dagger—Consumable: Previously used by Grey Eyes.
Control Conditions: One million metal energy
Control Ability—Assassination Master’s Favor: Allows promotion for assassin-type professions.]
This dagger was not just any Controlled Object, but a Professional Promotion Device.
This old man indeed had good stuff.
Li Ming was in high spirits, having scored big, and then bid Theo farewell. He left the place.
Theo’s eyes flickered, calculating the logic behind Li Ming’s actions.
The only thing that felt wrong was that it seemed like the other party wanted to get him out of there to do something, but the metal materials in the room were intact.
What happened next completely lacked logical action; he couldn’t guess what the other party wanted at all.
Purchasing genetic sequences, only wanting Evolution Theory and Secret Record of Liberation.
Then bizarrely wanting a weapon he had used, as well as assassination skills.
Theo furrowed his eyebrows, he wasn’t afraid of the other party having a purpose, but afraid that he couldn’t even think of the other party’s purpose.
Leaving Theo, he returned to his own room, taking some time.
Completely absorbing the last batch of metal materials, gaining a total of thirteen million metal energy, with a balance of seventeen million.
Ulrich, with a darkened face, came to notify that they could leave.
He then boarded the Cruise, Bryrim’s warship, now fully under Theo’s control.
In the room, Li Ming held a bloodstained dagger, not one obtained from Theo, but randomly found in Bryrim’s lair.
[Bloodstained Short Dagger—Level C]
Its function, exactly an assassin profession buff.
Needs to reach level B to obtain the profession, including control requirements, will consume nearly a million metal energy, also needing a Mother Ore.
The [Super Electromagnetic Sniper Gun] he held was also an assassin buff, already at level C, he could directly upgrade to level B.
However, it would only save tens of thousands of metal energy, which he wouldn’t have wasted before, but now it was completely different.
Still quite sentimental about that sniper gun, he immediately spent a million metal energy, directly upgrading it to level B, triggering a prompt.
[Do you want to consume the Controlled Object to permanently solidify the assassin profession?]
Choosing to consume, new professions appear on the control page, and a flood of assassin skills entered his mind, though they hardly affected him anymore.
After a moment, he carefully inspected.
[Assassin: Proficiently masters assassination skills, and possesses the abilities [Concealing Breath] and [Backstab]]
[Concealing Breath: Receive 100% Concealing Blessing]
[Backstab: Within a range of 1 meter from the target, if not discovered, the first attack is a Guaranteed Hit.]
Ordinary and interesting, he had pondered over [Backstab] before.
Then, he took out the [Shadow Blade Broken Dagger] given to him by Theo, consuming it upon Control.
[Assassin] profession trembled, gradually enveloped by black mist, and after fading, it transformed into four words.
He carefully examined--
[Shadow Assassin: Skillfully master assassination skills, possessing [Shadow Concealment] and [Shadow Sting] abilities.]
[Shadow Concealment: Receive 150% Concealing Blessing, doubled in shadows.]
[Shadow Sting: You can lie in wait in the target’s shadow, and the first attack launched from their shadow will be a Guaranteed Hit.]
