Chapter 444

Gu Ding and the others learned the truth about the Gates family's current predicament from their conversation with Faust.

Faust's parents and elders did not participate in the project negotiations, not because they were sick, but because they were poisoned. It was a strange, slow-acting poison. Faust had sent for many doctors and pharmacists, but none of them could do anything about it. A few days ago, Faust's parents and elders had fallen into a coma. Left with no choice, they could only follow a doctor's advice and temporarily freeze them at low temperatures to slow down the spread of the poison.

As for why Faust was not poisoned, he himself did not know the reason.

Since all the elders in his family were frozen, all the projects fell on Faust's shoulders. He had to attend several meetings every day for the past few days, and the pressure was so great that it was almost breaking him down. The most frustrating thing for him was that a few of the partners in the big projects had asked for their fathers to be present before they were willing to continue the negotiations. Moreover, some of them had probably heard some gossip and directly asked to withdraw from the partnership.

After telling Gu Ding and the others about these things over the communicator, although the problem was not solved, Faust felt a little better.

After listening to these things, Gu Ding and the others decided to go to Faust's house and help Faust solve some of the problems that they could.

After hanging up, Gu Ding and the others immediately left Reta with Argus, who had delivered the goods.

"Neptune, do you know what the poison that Faust described is?" Gu Ding hoped that Neptune could give him the antidote so that the Gates family's crisis could be mostly resolved.

"According to his description, I have a few guesses. However, I'll have to go to the scene and conduct a detailed examination to know what the poison is."

"Have you found any clues about what happened to the Gates family this time?" Gu Ding asked.

"Not much. These families have very high authority over Skynet, and there's a lot of information that I can't get without alerting Skynet. I can only gather bits and pieces of information through other channels and piece it together. A lot of this information may not be true, and it's very likely that it was fabricated, "Neptune was a little troubled by this matter. Sea Emperor also had a headache over this matter. "However, I can be sure that this matter is definitely related to the Koch clan. Moreover, I suspect that it's not only the Kohler clan, but also the Fallor clan."

"The world's richest family, the Fallor family?!" Gu Ding exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right. The reason I'm saying this is because the Gates Family's recent projects have more than ten direct competitors with the Koch Family. Apart from that, the biggest competitor for the two large scale acquisition projects was the Fallor Clan. According to Faust, the Fallor family has been increasing the pressure on him recently. They seem to know what's going on, but they're not as obvious as the Koch family. "

"No matter who the opponent is, we must do our best to help Faust. We'll help Fate secure as many of those projects as we can. The most important thing is to get the antidote for his family. "Gu Ding was most concerned about the poison.

"I'll think of a way to detoxify the poison. With our current speed, we can reach Planet Gates in two days. The inspection will only take one day at most. When the time comes, all that's left is to concoct the antidote. I hope there's a ready-made antidote for that poison, otherwise it'll be very troublesome. "

As Neptune spoke, a strange energy fluctuation came from the cabin. It was Robert's room.

"Robert has fused all the ingredients and successfully broken through to Higher Deity!" Neptune's voice carried a hint of surprise.

A moment later, everyone gathered in Robert's room.

"You've reached Higher Deity?" Lilliath was the first to ask. She had been cultivating in Robert's domain for the past few days, but she had just been ejected from the domain and felt the energy fluctuation.

"Yes." A human-like smile appeared on Robert's face. His body was much smaller than before, and he was now about the same height as Gu Ding.

To everyone's surprise, Robert formed a layer of human skin and clothes on the surface of his body. He turned into the appearance of a young human woman. Moreover, he was an extremely beautiful woman. She looked to be in her early twenties. She was tall, with waist-length black hair, a pair of amber eyes, and a high nose bridge that gave her a three-dimensional face. She looked like a mixed-race child born from a combination of East and West in Cerule's ancient times.

Her aura was disguised to be exactly the same as a human Higher Deity. It was impossible to tell that she was from the Mechanical Tribe.

"How is it?" Robert smiled. Her voice had also turned into a sweet female voice.

"I can't see any flaws on the surface, but your smile is a little stiff. You should be able to do it after practicing in the mirror." Dockett circled around Robert, held his chin, and nodded. Then, he asked, "How did you become a woman?"

"That's because I'm a female." Robert's words surprised everyone present.

"Are there male and female Mechanical Tribe members?" Dockett could not help but ask. This question also aroused the interest of the others, and they all looked at Robert.

"Yes, they are born with gender. Male Mechanical Tribe members prefer positive energy, while female Mechanical Tribe members prefer negative energy. Other than that, there's not much difference. All functions are the same, "Robert explained.

However, Lilliath's gaze fell on Robert's chest. Then, she puffed up her cheeks and turned her head to the side. She was a little upset because there was another big-breasted woman in the group, and this time, it was a mature woman.

Robert scratched his head. "You suddenly became a woman, I'm not used to it …"

"Then I'll change back to my original appearance." Robert did not expect this kind of thing to cause everyone trouble.

"Forget it, everyone will slowly get used to it." Gu Ding finally spoke. He felt that Robert's personality seemed to have changed this time. "Robert, after this promotion, you must have become a lot stronger, right?"

"Yes, with the promotion of my level, my memories are slowly awakening. Some of the abilities and personalities that were originally sealed have also begun to awaken." Robert nodded. "Now, time in my domain has been accelerated to thirty times. My manufacturing ability has also been greatly improved. I can manufacture all three-star god items, and I can also manufacture all conventional four-star god items. Also, the weapon system that I carry has been upgraded, and my close combat ability has also awakened. Now, my cultivation is equivalent to a human five-star higher deity, and under normal circumstances, my combat effectiveness can reach that of a five-star extreme deity. In addition to these major changes, there are also some small changes … "

"So strong!"

Gu Ding and the others could not help but exclaim. The upgraded version of Robert was obviously much stronger. It could even be said that he was the strongest combat power in Gu Ding's group. This made Gu Ding and the others even more eager to become stronger.

"When I was in the Mechanical Tribe, my main job was design, followed by manufacturing, and not combat type. A real combat type Mechanical Tribe member can easily fight across two big ranks, and some powerful fellows can even fight across three big ranks. "Robert did not think that his combat effectiveness was strong.

"Let's go into your domain to cultivate." Lilliath had suffered a blow and was ready to vent her anger through cultivation. Now that she had obtained a new legacy and weapon, she was also ready to seize the time to improve her combat effectiveness. Although she was not weak, she was basically at the bottom among the combatants.

Of course, Mikko and Bru were not counted as combatants.

Mikko's cultivation had been upgraded to a Rank-11 Gene Body, and his cultivation had been very smooth. Due to sufficient resources, his cultivation speed was also quite terrifying.

As for Bru, he was still in his infancy stage and did not have the temperament of a devourer at all. He was like a fat, round chinchilla, except that his fur was blue. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, he would occasionally act cute.

Biggie and the others were stimulated by Robert and stepped into Robert's domain again.

This time, Gu Ding did not go in to cultivate. Instead, he turned on Medicine King Valley's virtual system in his room and stepped into it again.

The various virtual systems of Skynet could not be activated in the domain. Even if the Ocean King was there, it would be impossible.

Gu Ding, who had not logged in for several months, had accumulated a lot of free medicine materials. He had already stepped into the level of an A-level pharmacologist and had mastered all the conventional A-level medicine. After receiving the materials for a few of the more difficult A-level medicine, Gu Ding began to refine again. The reason why he had to refine again was to get back the feeling of refining medicine. Half a day passed quickly, and Gu Ding finally got back the feeling after refining more than twenty medicines.

He asked Modico for some S-level medicine materials. From Modico, Gu Ding learned that his senior sister, Parma, had also been promoted to S-level pharmacologist two months ago. He asked Parma for some S-level medicine materials before he started to try refining S-level medicine.

An afternoon passed, and Gu Ding had only mastered the refining of three medicines. He was not satisfied with this speed. However, what he did not know was that an average person would need at least hundreds of practices to master the refining of a medicine, and it would take at least ten to twenty days to master one medicine.

By the time the spaceship arrived on Gates, Gu Ding had mastered nineteen medicines. This was the result of two days of sleepless practice, and he had almost completed half of the conventional S-level medicine.

After the spaceship landed, Gu Ding and the rest of the crew came out of their respective cultivation states. They boarded the aircraft arranged by the Gates family and flew all the way to the Gates family mansion.
