"Two blueprints, two skills, one expertise..."

Han Xiao pondered when he saw the five prizes to be selected.

Among the abilities extracted this time, the most valuable one is obviously the growth specialty [Innate Mechanical Spirit]. Based on your level, it can provide you with a total of 220% of machine affinity and 150% of virtual technology bonus. It is a mechanical skill.

Advanced expertise.

The other four options are [Apostle-level Mechanical Affinity], which is impossible to choose. Although [Legion Fire Volley] is good, its cost-effectiveness is limited in comparison. The two blueprints are very advanced, but I have similar equipment, so I can’t

Too much need.

"The result is not bad." Han Xiao was quite satisfied.

Both are machinist professions, and most of the skills are adaptable, which means that the range of extraction abilities is much higher than other professions, and mechanics are well-known for their skills. Mechanics of Manison's level are well known.

, I don’t know how many blueprints I know, but to be able to draw a high-level mechanical expertise from such a huge base is already a stroke of luck.

Manison's power is built up from specialties one by one. Only with a huge base can a qualitative change occur. Although he did not draw the top template expertise, he got a high-level specialty from the Tool Nation, which also narrowed the gap.

The wool comes from the sheep, and these abilities are extracted from Manison. The more you learn, the smaller the advantage Manison has over you. The gap is shortened step by step. Facing a senior man like Manison,

It is difficult for a person with expertise to become fat in one bite.

The level 300 [Natural Mechanical Spirit] mechanical affinity bonus is higher than the [Master Level Mechanical Affinity], and the virtual technology effect is better. Combined with the 2.5x coefficient of [Virtual Master], it is equivalent to providing a 375% virtual technology bonus.

After all, the total effect is almost equivalent to the core professional expertise of [Mechanical Emperor].

Feeling certain in his heart, Han Xiao made a choice.

[You get [Natural Mechanical Spirit]!]

It was as if a spiritual light penetrated the brain, and the theoretical structure in the brain underwent subtle changes, giving rise to a new understanding and understanding of mechanical technology.

After adapting to the change, Han Xiao exhaled:

"Manison not only has [Perfect Mechanical Sense], but also has a series of mechanical specialties such as [Innate Mechanical Spirit]. This guy's talent is also very good."

To be honest, he is a bit...well, very envious!

Han Xiao looked at the Manison character card drawn this time. The effect of this character card was even more powerful, with intelligence +20%, mystery +10%, and all skill levels +2. It was not a mechanical ability, but came from a famous character.

It is the ability of [The Ancient One].

I don’t know if this ability requires joining the Ancient Ones organization, or if I just have to wait for a long time...

More than 70 billion experience points, more than double the rewards from the Overlord mission, replenished the increasingly scarce experience reserves.

However, this mission was not given a legendary status. After looking at the name of the mission, Han Xiao had some guesses. The title of the mission specifically emphasized "virtual battle", and perhaps a formal battle would be required to give it a legendary status.

After looking at the new ability for a while, Han Xiao turned off the panel and thought about the gains and losses this time.

"This time Manison came suddenly and well-prepared, stole some data, and also cost me a Perfect Mechanical Sense character card. If I didn't get two new abilities, it would be a loss... Manison

He suppressed me in terms of his job ability, achieved his goal, and alarmed the empire, so it is unlikely that he will continue to cause trouble in the short term."

Han Xiao rolled his eyes slightly.

I have been showing off my talents recently, so I just took advantage of this incident to take away the limelight.

The foundation is still too thin, and it needs to be cultivated and developed properly. Before the leeks return, the soil should be loosened and the soil fertility should be improved.

The lack of a Perfect Mechanical Sense character card is not a big problem. Han Xiao has several blank character cards in his inventory. Some were drawn as random rewards, and some were rewards given by the [Shining World] mission. They were originally used as backup.

Just find a time to use it on Leonard or Nile, and then copy [Perfect Mechanical Sense].

Speaking of which, I have accumulated several random reward opportunities recently. You can find time to do a series of draws to see if you can get something good.

Hmm, I'd better wait until Verdinillo gathers before I draw. One can neutralize my bad luck, and the other can provide me with good luck...

In the eyes of Great Technician Han, Verdinillo is his two goalkeepers, one on the left and one on the right.

After summarizing the losses, Han Xiao stood up, opened the legion's internal network, swiped a few times on the virtual stereo screen with his finger, and wrote a simple internal statement:

“All colleagues of the Black Star Legion:

Not long ago, the intelligent center of the legion headquarters was invaded by Tool Nation Manison. With the help of all members and the empire, we successfully forced Manison back. During this period, various fluctuations occurred in the internal network, and now they are all

Satisfactory solution.

I don’t want to be an enemy of Tool Nation, but reality is always independent of human will. Today’s incident is a signal. Please be mentally prepared to face Tool Nation one day.

The Black Star Legion has been established for more than 20 years. It has grown from a mercenary group with a shallow foundation to the leading armed group in the star field today. Such achievements are inseparable from your dedication. In these 20 years, we have walked side by side.

We have gone through ups and downs and encountered all kinds of difficulties and obstacles. This is a road destined to be uneven, and there are more difficulties waiting for us to overcome on the road ahead.

The universe is vast, but no matter how vast it is, there is no room for endless expansion of ambition. As long as there are intelligent species, competition will be the eternal melody. It was like this in the past, it is like this today, and it will be like this in the future.

I have created many miracles in the past, and I am not afraid of competition in the future. I hope you will work hard with me.

Your legion commander, Black Star.

Star Sea Calendar, September 11, 710."

After taking a look, there was nothing wrong with it. Han Xiao made some changes and then sent it out to inform all members.

The purpose of this move is to calm the restless hearts of the Legion, boost morale and cohesion, and weaken the negative impact of Manison's troubles. Although he does not need to care about what most members think, doing it is better than not doing it.

After handling the matter, Han Xiao swallowed a few bars of nutritional ointment, went back to his room and rested for a while, then returned to the mechanical modification room to continue manufacturing and strengthening the machinery.

Realizing the gap in strength between Tool Nation and himself, Han Xiao became more and more enthusiastic about improving his foundation, so during this period of time, he planned to build in seclusion and sit at the headquarters to prevent Manison from making a comeback... although this possibility is not high.

After it was confirmed that the storm was completely over, he was ready to go to Glittering World and personally control the development of mechanical civilization and the Black Spirit Clan.

…

On the other side, the Sea of ​​Star Spirits, the headquarters of the Infinite Financial Group.

In the huge pure white office, Sorokin was multitasking and checking reports on business from various places. At this time, the communicator suddenly rang.

When he is at work, the communicator will set communication priorities, and only important people with high priority can contact him directly.

Sorokin put down the financial report in his hand and picked up the communicator. On the screen was Manison who had completed the invasion.

"Your Excellency Tool Nation, have you succeeded?"

"Well, Black Star's virtual technology is not weak. The empire sent Kant here, so I only got part of the information you wanted and have already sent it to you." Manison said lightly.

After taking a look at the data sent by Manison, Sorokin shook his head:

"This internal information is a little helpful to me, but it is not considered a confidential document...Forget it, this kind of thing cannot be forced. By the way, how do you directly contact my body? Just send the information to my clone in the war field.

Already."

"Just being cautious."

Manison's tone was casual. He had rich experience and did not want to transmit data in the Shattered Star environment to eliminate the possibility of being tracked and intercepted by the Black Star.

Dealing with Black Star this time was a routine matter for him, used to consolidate his position. Apart from becoming more and more interested in Black Star, Manison had no other disturbances in his heart.

"Okay." Sorokin nodded, "You defeated Black Star this time and have already established a grudge with him. Aren't you afraid of Black Star's actions?"

"If he doesn't accept it, I don't mind beating him a few more times."

"Hey, Black Star is not his opponent now, but he may not be in the future. Don't forget his terrifying potential..."

Manison glanced at him lightly and said, "Put away those little thoughts of yours."

Sorokin smiled playfully and changed the subject:

"By the way, last month's shareholder dividends have been calculated and will be distributed in a few days. What resources do you need to purchase? Give me a list and I will directly exchange them for you at a discount."

"same as usual."

Manison didn't take it seriously. Although the consortium's dividends were generous, at his level, he no longer cared about money.

After chatting for a few words, the two hung up the communication.

Putting down the communicator, Sorokin's eyes flashed slightly and he murmured:

"Tool Nation...Black Star..."

…

Central Star Sea, Red Empire Homestar, Head of State's Office.

A virtual screen was suspended in front of Ulan Riel, and the empire's main intelligence "heroic soul" displayed the internal statement Han Xiao had just made public.

After reading it again, Ulan Riel nodded lightly:

"It seems that Black Star understands what we mean and does not act excessively."

[Dark Emperor] Clottey on the side crossed his arms and said calmly: "Black Star is a super genius who has never appeared in history. Generally speaking, geniuses have a high degree of arrogance. He has recently shown his talents, but

Being able to quickly recognize the reality is a good mentality.”

Even the Crimson Empire, which is famous for its toughness, knows how to be patient. Black Star has shown amazing potential. While the Empire is surprised, it is also worried, fearing that Black Star will be too strong and easy to break. But now it seems that Black Star is still

He was very sober and did not fight with Tool Nation.

The empire also knows that the Tool Nation is not easy to mess with. Calculated from many aspects such as status, combat power, and influence, Manison’s level is even one level higher than Lao Long and Kant. He is the number one ally of the Federation of Radiance and is at the level of an alien god.

existence, only the Dark Emperor, a super thug directly connected to the empire, can barely compete with Manison.

We need to select a number one Transcendent A Grade from each of the three major civilizations. The Federation of Radiance’s trump card is “Tool Nation” Manison, the Scarlet Empire’s trump card is “Dark Emperor” Clottey, and the Ethereal Religion’s trump card is “Lord of the Void”
