Chapter 441: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 204

The only thing Li Ang found regrettable was that he had found no information in Karina's memories about 【Limit Value】 or 【Breaking the Limit】.

This could mean either the other party's rank was too low to access such information, or the transformation condition for 【Transcender·Energy】 was truly an anomaly.

Either way, it was enough to give Li Ang a headache.

He had asked Elise and Sophia before, but both dragons likewise said they had never heard of such concepts.

Elise was understandable—her brain capacity made ignorance normal.

But Sophia was different; this Gem Dragon Young Lady clearly had far better information channels than most in this world, and if she didn't know, it could only mean 【Transcender·Energy】 was not something Li Ang should consider at present.

With a hint of helplessness, Li Ang buried the information about 【Transcender·Energy】 deep in his heart.

Among the careers he currently held, 【Immortal】 had unlimited growth potential but required immense time to develop.

【Stellar Shepherd】, while offering extremely exaggerated stat bonuses, had a level cap.

Thus, for the short term, if Li Ang wished to advance further, he had to turn to other careers.

【Black Emperor】, 【Life Creator】.

As these two careers' transformation details flashed through his mind, Li Ang's gaze flickered slightly.

Without any unforeseen changes, 【Black Emperor】 and 【Life Creator】 could at most reach the Fifth Energetic Level—useful but merely icing on the cake, since no one knew whether their subsequent transformations would surge forward like 【Stellar Shepherd】's.

He needed more base careers.

Fortunately, with his current status, he didn't need to worry too much about drawing attention by collecting base careers, since he could claim it was for winning hearts and minds.

But even so, Li Ang still felt it wiser to proceed cautiously.

As time passed, someone would inevitably notice the diversity of his abilities, then likely connect it to his collection of career information—【Console Player】 was not without risk of exposure.

After brief thought, Li Ang gradually formed a solution.

That was to have personnel controlled by Dual-Complete Hand, or pseudo-subordinates like Kristin—who had no public connection to him—handle the matter.

This would greatly reduce his suspicion.

Thinking this through, Li Ang exhaled softly and began preparing the necessary arrangements.

……

Two days passed quickly.

During this time, preparations for collecting base careers were nearly complete and could soon enter the implementation phase.

Progress was not fast: on one hand, Li Ang could not launch indiscriminate massacres and turn all corpses into 【Pseudo Subordinates】; on the other, he needed to carefully select targets for Dual-Complete Hand control.

Fortunately, with his current status as Planetary Viceroy, resolving these two issues was not difficult.

But before launching the plan, Li Ang needed to meet with Ma Ding first.

The quartermaster of the 9000th Army had finally arrived on Morabys Star, but unlike last time when he brought subordinates, this time he came alone.

At this moment, Ma Ding watched the young man walking ahead and silently sighed in relief.

The other party was indeed a true Fourth Energetic Level—intelligence reports were accurate.

Under Li Ang's lead, the two arrived at the Viceroy's Mansion built above the Alchemical Kingdom.

Watching the lively artificial human maids moving about, Ma Ding raised an eyebrow: "Li Ang Viceroy, your talent in alchemy is truly enviable."

The androgynous man remembered how lifeless these dolls had been when he last arrived on Morabys Star.

Yet so little time had passed, and they had already undergone iteration.

More crucially, if he remembered correctly, the other was not a Craftsman-class careerist—he had achieved this purely through innate talent.

'Tch, damn talent monster.'

After silently cursing inwardly, Ma Ding asked casually: "Li Ang Viceroy, are you interested in selling these dolls?"

Hearing this, Li Ang immediately stopped walking, his eyes flickering with surprise: "Of course—I just didn't know the Army needed them."

"They're sufficient for logistics personnel," Ma Ding shrugged, then added quickly, "But to ensure these goods have no backdoors, the Army requires the supplier to provide blueprints."

"Don't worry—we'll sign the contract."

After a brief silence, Li Ang changed the subject: "What would you like to drink? Our Plant Union has recently launched some new products."

Seeing this, Ma Ding understood the other had rejected his proposal.

But he said nothing more—it had been a spontaneous suggestion to begin with.

Moreover, unlike Blood Secret Corp, the company currently supplying such biological goods to the Army was notoriously difficult to deal with.

Soon, the two entered the Viceroy's Mansion conference room.

On the table sat several cans of the Plant Union's latest products, yet Ma Ding didn't even glance at them.

For him, military supply quality only needed to meet the minimum standard—whether cooperation would proceed depended on other factors.

Without beating around the bush, Ma Ding said bluntly: "I've read your dossier before coming. That 【Invincible Knight】 isn't someone to take lightly—I didn't expect you'd defeat him."

As the Federation's violent arm stationed in the Obsidian Star Region, the 9000th Army's intelligence system naturally recorded Li Ang's battle with Ottavio.

To be honest, in pure strength, Ma Ding admitted he was inferior—that was the main reason he'd come to Morabys Star.

But unfortunately, that wasn't enough.

Seeing Li Ang's expression unchanged, Ma Ding couldn't help shaking his head slightly: "You know that if you cooperate with me, Blood Secret Corp won't just let you go, right?"

"That bunch of vampires aren't nice people—and with your current strength—"

The quartermaster didn't finish, merely sizing up the young man once, then fell silent.

Defeating the 【Invincible Knight】 meant nothing—Blood Secret Corp wasn't some lone wolf.

Even ignoring the Sixth Energetic Level Lord, this major corporation possessed over a dozen Fifth Energetic Level careerists.

And the Plant Union?

Hah.

Thus, Ma Ding silently watched the young man across the table—the one who had once annoyed him—and waited to see what choice he would make.

Silence didn't last long; Li Ang quickly replied: "Ma Ding, first try our new product."

Upon hearing this, Ma Ding immediately grinned: "Interesting. You're actually not afraid."

Li Ang tilted his head in confusion: "Why would I be afraid?"

"."

Ma Ding was left speechless, unsure where the young man's confidence actually came from.

It was normal not to know, after all from the very first meeting, Li Ang had been using combo techniques to conceal his own aura.

As for where the confidence came from—

【Immortal】, 【Star Shepherd】.

Then let me ask you, answer me!

Look in my eyes!

Tell me why!
