Chapter 104 Advanced Exploration Technology

[Mechanical knowledge detected: [Advanced Exploration Technology]. Consume 2 potential points to learn?]

[Learning in progress… 15%… 74%…]

[Learning successful! You have mastered [Advanced Exploration Technology]!]

The new knowledge was imprinted in his mind, and the potential point value jumped, decreasing by 2 points, turning into 55 points.

Potential points are used to learn and upgrade knowledge. Seemingly, the expenses aren't much; learning all 15 advanced knowledge entries only requires 30 points. However, if you add the consumption of upgrading, potential points are never enough. In the later stages, potential points become more and more precious. In his previous life, Han Xiao had no choice but to respec, so he is now very cautious in dealing with knowledge. Unless necessary, he rarely takes the initiative to upgrade knowledge.

Due to the limitations of potential points, Mechanic players can only choose different development styles, each with its own characteristics, and cannot achieve omnipotence. In addition to potential points from character upgrades, you can also get 1 potential point for upgrading a skill to max level. Therefore, players also have ways to enhance themselves after reaching max level: finding new skills and continuing to earn experience.

The Mechanic class is never short of skills; every new blueprint is a new skill. They only lack experience.

Han Xiao has a huge advantage in experience. The experience he earns is enough to challenge the imagination of players in the same version. He can simultaneously choose many key knowledge branches and advance them all at the same time, making him more comprehensive than players. This is a huge advantage compared to players.

[You have comprehended the new blueprint [Simple Multi-Functional Detector]!]

This is the basic blueprint that comes with the knowledge.

Most players think that exploration technology is useless: further vision, more levels of detection, analyzing spectral bands, energy waves, etc. cannot directly enhance combat power. However, this is also a very important technology. As combat levels become more and more advanced, not having beyond-visual-range and multi-level detection methods is equivalent to being blind. However, players prefer to buy ready-made detection machinery on the market, so basically only large guild production teams and merchant players will learn this auxiliary knowledge to achieve a supply-demand relationship.

“Actually, this knowledge is not bad. It can not only satisfy my own needs, but the detection equipment I make can be sold generously to players. This kind of key auxiliary equipment can barely be considered a necessity.”

He has reached three advanced knowledge entries, and only two more are needed to meet the requirements for transferring to one of the classes. Money is the biggest problem now. Han Xiao's principle is common prosperity and expanding the market, leading players to earn money from other NPCs together.

Han Xiao has the advantage of knowing the plot. Although this period can barely be considered a blank period in his memory, there are still traces to follow. For example, some long-term employment missions are good choices for earning the first pot of gold.

Returning to the lounge, most people obediently stayed here. Han Xiao glanced around, but found that Li Ge and the Temple's elite players were missing.

Han Xiao frowned and said, "Where did the others go?"

Roubao explained, "They said they were going out for a walk to familiarize themselves with the environment and will be back in a while."

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.

Bullshit. Doesn't he understand these little punks? They just arrived in a new environment full of opportunities and couldn't wait to contact new characters and trigger missions, so they threw his instructions to the back of their minds.

Most players are profit-oriented, which is understandable, especially professional players. But not being able to sit still for even this little time clearly means they can't resist the temptation of the exciting world.

This is also a hidden danger that Han Xiao had long thought of. As good opportunities continue to appear, they will gradually dilute the players' idea of following him and begin to stir, wanting to join more profitable forces.

To ensure that the players firmly follow him, Han Xiao had already made a plan in advance, and now is the time to implement it.

"Follow me, let's go to work."

Han Xiao turned his head and walked out, with the players following behind him.

The group came to a building. Inside was a square-like hall, where various races were sitting or standing, coming and going, talking to each other. They all had a common characteristic: these people were all wearing combat equipment and were basically superhumans.

"What is this place?" The players looked around.

Han Xiao said slowly, "The Universe Mercenary Alliance, an authoritative and neutral mercenary organization with business spanning the entire Star Sea. It was jointly established by the three major universe-level civilizations, and it is absolutely neutral. Any intelligent creature can register as a mercenary. The Alliance grades registered mercenaries, connects various difficult tasks with qualified mercenaries, coordinates supply and demand, allocates human resources, and provides convenience for both employers and mercenaries. The Mercenary Alliance has a very long history, and like the Universe Bank, it is absolutely neutral, protects the rights and interests of both employers and mercenaries, and does not force mercenaries to do anything. It is just a supply and demand platform."

He also knew that the original intention of the Mercenary Alliance was to give superhumans something to do, to be able to earn money with their abilities, so that superhumans could vent their energy and would not cause trouble everywhere. As the saying goes, martial artists violate prohibitions. Superhumans have strong individual strength and are also a threat to security. The effect of the Mercenary Alliance is very significant. It not only gives superhumans a free job but also indirectly maintains regional stability. Both sides get what they need, and everyone is happy.

But there is no need to tell the players this.

The players were suddenly enlightened. For a time, the professional players' eyes lit up, and they were eager to try. They came to the interstellar world for the interstellar-level mission rewards and couldn't wait to register immediately, but seeing that Han Xiao had not spoken, they temporarily held back.

Floating in the hall were small metal balls the size of fists. When a mercenary waved, the small ball would automatically fly over, and then the center would split open and light up, forming a virtual screen. This is an automated control terminal that allows mercenaries to handle business themselves.

Han Xiao took a small ball and opened the operation screen.

"Please enter your mercenary account and log in for permission authentication," the small ball made a mechanical synthesized sound.

Han Xiao directly clicked on Register. The screen changed, prompting him to enter identity verification, which could be linked to a bank account.

Han Xiao entered his bank account, the screen flashed, and displayed his identity information, only the basic name. There was only one entry in the history below - Protecting Short Corner Star. History is the record of events left in the universe, equivalent to activity logs. He has just entered the interstellar world and is almost a blank sheet of paper.

These deeds are actually the performance of the panel's fame value, but some deeds without witnesses may not be recorded in the history, while the panel's fame system is different. Even without witnesses, as long as the rumors spread, the value will increase, making the "reputation" data-driven.

Becoming a mercenary requires a code name. Han Xiao's nickname on Aquamarine Star was "Black Phantom," which didn't seem very imposing. Han Xiao decided to change to a new code name to increase the players' freshness towards him.

After thinking for a while, Han Xiao said slowly.

"Then it will be called... Black Star."

Black Phantom is a nickname used by assassins, giving people a somewhat sneaky feeling and is relatively limited. The new code name is very "upright," and it sounds very consistent with his image. Grand Technician Han is very satisfied.

It is also a code name starting with "Black." He has a special liking for this color. In his previous life, he liked to wear black clothes, not because he was handsome, but because he couldn't see the dirt, which could anesthetize himself so he didn't have to wash his clothes.

After entering a lot of information, the small ball stretched out a probe and prompted: "If you are a superhuman, please release your Qi towards the probe. The system will analyze your level, which will affect the difficulty of the missions matched to you."

Holding the probe, Han Xiao's mind changed, and electric sparks exploded at his fingertips. He used 80% of his level, and the screen displayed a C-grade level.

"Data collection is complete, creating a file…"
