More than ten days later.

In the central area of ​​the Black Star Palace, a long-handled war blade spans across the starry sky. It looks like a mechanical sword that has been enlarged countless times. It has a black background with gold patterns and a complicated structure. It looks quite luxurious and exquisite. If you take a cursory look, it might be...

I mistakenly thought it was some kind of exquisite handicraft.

Mechanical rings are placed on different parts of this mechanical long knife. Countless flexible mechanical arms stretch out from the inner ring, turning into various tools to draw on the long knife, causing pieces of arcs. These rings are specially designed for

The manufacturing auxiliary tool for megastructure engineering, called the "giant structure assembly ring", is currently connected by mechanical force and operates under the control of mechanical force.

The other end of the lightning chain linked by mechanical power is concentrated above this huge construction site. There is a black figure floating there, it is Han Xiao, and this giant mechanical sword is the Mechanical God's exclusive cosmic treasure "Zhu Xing" under construction.

blade".

Han Xiao maintained a perspective with perfect mechanical sense, closely monitoring the subtle energy flow in every part of the construction process of the Star Killing Blade, just like a chef watching the fire closely, adjusting at any time.

As the mechanical arm of the giant assembly ring inserted into the last bolt-type power button, Han Xiao's panel sounded a sound that sounded like nature to him.

[You have created golden quality equipment (cosmic treasure)]

[You got feedback from [Weapon of the Gods]]

[You gain 1 point of divine transformation (the same drawing cannot be obtained repeatedly)]

[Your random attributes drop by 425 points... Randomization is in progress, randomization is completed, and your charm drops by 425 points]

[You gain 425 free attribute points]

[You get the third layer bonus of [Weapon of the Gods]: the basic success rate of golden blueprint manufacturing +2.5%, the basic success rate of research and development of golden blueprints +1.2%, and the mutation rate of cosmic wonders +0.4%]

"Finally done..." Seeing that the judgment was successful, Han Xiao's tense nerves relaxed.

This is the third cosmic treasure that he has personally built. It is more difficult to create than the Emperor's Robe. He has failed many times and burned a huge amount of funds, but he only succeeded in creating it today.

However, compared to the terrifying profits that the Evolution Totem and Black Star Cup continuously bring, this expense is nothing.

Han Xiao took back all the giant structure assembly rings, and then stored the Star Killing Blade in the Dimension Factory. Then he opened the attribute list and threw this divine transformation point into the main career transformation route, so that [Divine Transformation·Mechanical] could go smoothly.

Unlock the fifth stage.

[The fifth stage: [Dominator Mechanic], [God Throne Mechanic] stage mechanical skill level +3, you get the total mechanical affinity bonus coefficient 1.1x, ability strength +28%, attack power bonus coefficient 1.2x,

Shield strength bonus coefficient 1.2x, mechanical creation energy core power +40%, output power +20%]

"Hey, this wave of bonuses is awesome!" Han Xiao was pleasantly surprised.

The first few stages mainly improved production and research and development capabilities, but after reaching the fifth stage, it finally ushered in a wave of substantial strengthening of combat power. The total affinity coefficient of 1.1x increased by at least 2000% of mechanical affinity.

Not to mention the most powerful ability strength bonus, and several other effects are also biased towards combat.

The abilities of [Master Mechanic] and [God Throne Mechanic] are his current main combat skills. Breaking through the upper limit and raising the level by 3 levels will greatly help his combat effectiveness. At least there will be 3 more places for apostle weapons.

"In that case, the focus of the fifth stage is to enhance one's own efficiency against machinery... huh?"

Han Xiaocai muttered, and suddenly realized that the prompt on the panel was not over yet.

[[Divine Transformation·Machine] has reached the fifth stage]

[Unknown changes have occurred in your life level]

[You have a new understanding of machinery, the chance of forming exclusive expertise +15%, [Simulation of All Things] skill sublimation]

[You perceive part of the power of the transformation route - [Unknown Expertise]]

[You get [First Sanctuary] skill fragment x1]

Seeing this, Han Xiao's heart moved and he secretly guessed.

"It seems that the fifth stage of divine transformation should be a threshold, just like there is a bottleneck of energy level standard in Transcendent A Grade... If you infer this, will every five levels be a threshold, then the divine transformation

What’s the upper limit? 10 floors? 15 floors?”

Han Xiao thought thoughtfully. He had a panel to add points directly to it. However, the method for normal Transcendent A Grade experts to increase the level of divine transformation was not as convenient and quick as his own. Each time they increased a level, they would spend a lot of money.

years of time.

After reaching the fifth stage of divine transformation in the mechanical route, I got a skill fragment of [First Sanctuary]. I already have 3 pieces in my hand, but there is no sign of synthesis yet, and I don’t know how many pieces are needed in total.

So far, Han Xiao still doesn't know how to get exclusive expertise. If the prerequisite is to be immersed in a certain field, then he has spent a lot of time in the mechanical field, but there has never been a prompt.

As for [Simulation of All Things], Han Xiao is no stranger. He often used this ability to try to develop blueprints for cosmic treasures, but the progress was impressive.

Seeing the prompt on the panel at this time, he activated this skill again, entered a familiar field of vision, and experienced it carefully, only to realize that there seemed to be some subtle changes.

But the reason for this feeling is unclear. The more intuitive manifestation is that the mind is more active than before. No matter what it is looking at, the brain maintains a way of thinking similar to "enlightenment".

"There is always a feeling of directly pointing to the essence of things... Hmm, it feels a bit like studying things to gain knowledge?"

Han Xiao experienced it for a while and didn't find much, so he took back his power, organized the place, and flew to the palace.

Back in the room, Han Xiao went online to take a look at the Black Star Cup competition situation.

Thanks to Philip's scheduling and massive resource investment, the qualifiers went very quickly and nearly one-third of the players have been eliminated.

Before this, interstellar citizens in many areas only knew about the existence of players and did not pay special attention to them. But this time, because the Black Star Cup was broadcast to the entire universe, the performance of players fell into the eyes of more ordinary people, arousing the concern of the general public.

interest.

Most ordinary people are both curious and afraid of immortal lunatics like players. The mood is like meeting an exhibitionist, who subconsciously covers his eyes, but can't help but open his fingers to peek.

Coupled with the actions of players in Glittering World, the name "Cancer of the Universe" gradually spread and was recognized by more and more people.

On the other hand, the excitement of the Black Star Cup has attracted a large number of foreign players.

The number of legion players has been rising steadily, and it finally exceeded the 10 million mark a few days ago. Han Xiao estimates that the final number of legion players at the end of the version will be higher than his previous estimate of 11.5 million.

The cancer of the universe represents chaos, and it is basically impossible to recruit all players. However, today's Black Star Legion can already slightly guide the behavior of all players. If some good things can be done in this regard, the damage caused by players will not be as serious as in the previous life.

That is enough merit and merit.

"Speaking of which, my biopic seems to be released soon..."

Han Xiao suddenly realized that he had not touched Fording for a long time, and he suddenly remembered this.

He searched online and found that the movie has been filmed and is scheduled to be released next month.

Because of the developed productivity of interstellar society, ordinary people can afford the cost of making movies, which has led to the proliferation of movies. Coupled with the advancement of portable communication equipment and the penetration rate of quantum networks, the theater business model with meager profits has almost been eliminated, and the mainstream model has long become

With the online video platform system, new movies are released simultaneously on platforms in various star regions and can be watched online.

The name of the movie is simple and unpretentious, called "Black Star: Origins". This movie tells his story on Aquamarine, from escaping from Germination to entering the interstellar. Because of the limited time, director Benny Travor

Many deeds were deleted and only the main points were retained to control the rhythm of the film.

Han Xiao had seen the rough cut version of the film before. This well-known director is indeed capable of filming his experience with twists and turns, and finally entering the interstellar world, leaving the opportunity for a sequel.

In the trailer, Fording, who has been put on makeup, puts on the costume of Han Great Technician from the Black Specter period, and moves around in the screen with a face that is both male and female.

Looking at this scene, he could only think of descriptions such as "as graceful as a startling roar, as graceful as a swimming dragon".

"It's so handsome..." Han Xiao was very satisfied, "It restored my character very well."

He glanced at the forum. Players were also very interested in the movie. On the one hand, they wanted to see Black Star's story made into a movie, and on the other hand, they wanted to see them appear in the movie.

There are also scenes of immortals in the movie. Seeing their own deeds made into movies by NPCs makes players feel very novel and have a strong sense of immersion.

"After this film is released, it may be able to enhance the cohesion of legion players just like Meat Bun's video... If it works well, I can find the director to make more sequels."

After secretly writing this down, Han Xiao continued surfing the Internet for a while, and found another news that caught his attention.

The Scarlet Empire announced that two Transcendent A Grades would be publicly executed by the Dark Emperor in ten days. One was a traveler, and the other was an innocent person employed by the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance.

"Are you finally going to establish your authority..." Han Xiao pursed his lips.

In this way, the contradiction between the Transcendent A class and the cosmic civilization will become more acute. Although there is still a long way to go before it explodes, the seeds of dissatisfaction will only increase.

However, this time, the goal of the three major civilizations is not the Transcendent A Class, but the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance, to scare off those Transcendent A Classes who accept the employment of the Transcendent Star Cluster, in order to cut off each other's wings - the three major civilizations have already begun to prepare for future suppression.

get ready.

…

On the other side, there is the Glittering World Free Competition Zone, the territory of the Star Arc Civilization.

In the remote conference room, a group of powerful senior officials looked grim.

"The empire has captured the traveler and plans to publicly execute him. What should we do?"

"We have no choice but to give up on him. We cannot break out into conflict with the three major civilizations yet... Although this will happen sooner or later, we are not ready yet."

"It's a pity. Travelers are loyal to civilization. This is a huge loss."

"The question now is whether the traveler has revealed his true identity. If the empire knows his background, it will have an excuse to provoke disputes, and we will be targeted mainly."

"A traveler should not betray civilization, but there is no guarantee of such a thing. We must be prepared and cannot admit his identity."

Everyone was talking and worried.

If the three major civilizations want to suppress the Super Star Cluster Civilization, they don't just launch attacks. We are all advanced civilizations in the universe. We must find a reason to stir up trouble, even if it is unfounded. As the rulers of the three major civilizations, they must occupy the moral high ground.

, regardless of whether the reason is true or false, as long as the teacher has a reputation and gives an explanation to the public, it is enough.

Therefore, the super star cluster civilization often keeps a low profile, is unwilling to give the three major civilizations a handle, and does not have a strong sense of existence in the universe.

On the other hand, the strength of the super star cluster civilization is only lower than that of the cosmic-level civilization, and it cannot be rolled or flattened casually. Although the three major civilizations are clamoring to suppress them every day, they also need to be fully prepared.
To be continued...
