Chapter 117 Equipment Enhancement

After playing with the armor for a while, the players remembered to compare the stats of the Sunil soldier armor with the store-bought goods, only to find that they were quite similar.

The same quality for a third of the price—what a conscience!

Everyone was overjoyed. The rest stopped hesitating and willingly paid, with funds transferring to Han Xiao's account one after another.

"More than fifty people, with over 40,000 Enas in hand, enough to buy almost two knowledge sets…"

Han Xiao grinned. This wasn't the end!

Immediately afterward, he opened a new service in the faction store interface—equipment enhancement!

Han Xiao had held back a little during manufacturing. The armor stats were just the "basic version," leaving room for improvement to facilitate his enhancement business!

Repairing and enhancing were long-term sources of income. Han Xiao possessed multiple mechanical enhancement skills, meeting the prerequisite for offering enhancement services. How could Han Xiao miss such a money-making opportunity? Not only that, but he would also control the intensity of the enhancements. He wouldn't go all out on the first enhancement, always leaving room for improvement to attract players to continue spending.

You couldn't blame the Great Technician Han for being black-hearted. You had to scheme when in position. Selling one item in multiple stages maximized profits, and the unsuspecting players were happy to pay. Han Xiao used affordable and high-quality equipment to compete with other store goods, first getting players hooked on buying equipment, then launching subsequent value-added services, turning a one-time transaction into long-term profits.

After all, he had occasionally played single-player games in his previous life and was inspired by the practice of selling games in DLCs.

Han Xiao sighed with emotion. Back then, when he was young, he was an honest person. His innocent, pure heart was tainted by society. Becoming bad wasn't a man's fault but the world's…

In the next few days, Han Xiao rushed to produce all the armor. Every player was transformed, wearing soldier armor, making the mercenary group look like they had a uniform. Although the players were all Supers, the soldier-grade armor could still provide some convenience.

As a staunch supporter of the Great Technician Han, Kuang Dao was the first to spend money on enhancements. The enhanced armor stats increased by about 10%, and the price of enhancing the same piece of equipment kept increasing. The first enhancement of the soldier armor only cost 60 Enas, the second 100, the third 150. After every three enhancements, the price would increase exponentially. The fourth cost 300, and so on…

Each enhancement improved the stats by 8% to 12%. The low price and high returns made Kuang Dao set an example, and others followed suit. After the Sunil mission, the players had tens of thousands of Enas in their pockets, and they couldn't help but spend it.

Han Xiao had left too much room for enhancement in the armor. It would take at least seven enhancements to reach the peak of his capabilities. The enhancement business brought him an income of 23,000 Enas, meaning that more than fifty players had enhanced their armor an average of more than three times!

Selling armor brought in more than 40,000, and subsequent enhancements added another 23,000. Han Xiao now had more than 76,000 Enas in his account, more than enough to buy knowledge.

While he was happily selling, Melos was very troubled. He approached Han Xiao and asked in surprise, "How do you know our Sunil soldier armor technology?"

Building Sunil armor would definitely arouse Melos's suspicion. Han Xiao laughed and said, "I deduced your blueprints while repairing on the battlefield. Isn't that amazing?"

Melos's face twitched. He had stolen Sunil's technology and even had a Sunil person praise him for it. His ship-slaying blade couldn't cut through such a thick skin!

But Sunil was in such a state now that there was no point in pursuing this matter. Melos still had to accompany Han Xiao, so he didn't care about it. Besides, this wasn't such a valuable technology. Most civilizations had basic soldier armor, with different styles.

…

Jubely Hub, Regional Exchange.

As soon as Han Xiao earned enough funds, he immediately came to buy advanced knowledge. The advancement requirements that had been stuck for so long were about to be completed, and he felt a little excited.

There were only eight mechanical advanced knowledge sets in the Colton Star Cluster region. Han Xiao glanced at them and immediately selected two.

[Heavy Armor Modification], priced at 25,000!

[Advanced Electromagnetics], priced at 37,000!

[Learning in progress… Learning successful! You have mastered [Heavy Armor Modification]!]

[Learning in progress… Learning successful! You have mastered [Advanced Electromagnetics]!]

[Advancement Requirements: Total Level 80, Intelligence 400, Master 5 Mechanical Advanced Knowledge Sets]

[Advancement Successful!]

[Detected that the Level 80 Advancement Mission has been completed!]

[Advancement Successful! Endurance bonus increased. 1 Endurance = 40 Health Points = 50 Stamina Points!]

[You have obtained the new class [Data Mechanic Lv1]. Vigor +100, Dexterity +3, Endurance +2, Intelligence +4. Obtained 5 free attribute points. Obtained 1 potential point.]

[You have comprehended the skill [Blueprint Improvement]!]

[You have comprehended the skill [High-Concentration Refinement]!]

[You have comprehended the skill [Magnetic Vision - Data Stream]!]

[You have comprehended the talent [Mechanical Analysis Comprehension]]

The Vigor factors in his body cheered and leaped. With the double boost of class transfer and advancement, Han Xiao felt that some kind of shackle had been broken. His eyes went dark, as if hours had passed, but in reality, it was only half a second. His vision returned to brightness, but a huge change had taken place. He could sense more subtle things.

Every time his strength increased, he felt like he had been reborn.

The Data Mechanic, also known as the Senior Mechanic, had an even better understanding of machinery. The mechanical affinity at this stage would increase dramatically. The four new abilities, [Magnetic Vision - Data Stream] and [Mechanical Analysis Comprehension], were both abilities that greatly increased mechanical affinity.

Mechanical affinity was the core attribute of the Mechanic class, representing the rate, attributes, and power when manufacturing and using machinery. [Magnetic Vision - Data Stream] was an active skill. When activated, it entered a special magnetic vision. His own magnetic Vigor became an extended sense, using the magnetic field to sense the details of machinery.

Han Xiao directly upgraded this skill to level ten. The effect was that it consumed 20 points of Vigor per minute, increasing mechanical affinity by 25% to 50%. The bonus fluctuated every second and was completely random. Because of the low consumption, this skill could be activated for a long time. Unlike [Mechanical Force Surge], which could only increase power, this skill could be used in manufacturing.

[Mechanical Analysis Comprehension] was a talent. Intelligence directly added to mechanical affinity, and the bonus effect was very considerable. Every 10 points of Intelligence increased mechanical affinity by 1%. At this time, Han Xiao had more than 400 points of Intelligence. This was a key ability at this stage. Increasing the Intelligence attribute benefited the Mechanic class, and judging from the long-term effect, this was a very core ability of the Mechanic class.

[High-Concentration Refinement] was an upgraded version of [Primary Refinement], which increased the strength of raw materials, and the effect was very important. [Blueprint Improvement] was a passive skill. When manufacturing equipment, there was a chance to trigger the effect. The equipment blueprint level would temporarily increase by no more than three levels, increasing the attributes of the product, and there was a chance to "crit" during manufacturing, producing equipment that crossed quality levels. The chance depended on Intelligence and Luck.

Han Xiao still had more than 2.5 billion experience points. With a wave of his hand, he directly upgraded these skills to max level, consuming nearly 50 million experience points at once. Immediately afterward, Han Xiao immediately upgraded his main class to Lv15 max level.

Above level eighty, the experience required to level up increased geometrically. One level required tens of millions of experience points. He instantly leveled up fifteen levels, spending 900 million experience points at once without blinking an eye.

[Data Mechanic] has been upgraded to Lv15 (max). Vigor +240, Dexterity +3, Endurance +2, Intelligence +4. Obtained 5 free attribute points. Obtained 1 potential point.]

He directly went from level eighty to level ninety-five! He even exceeded the level cap of the 2.0 version for players!

Han Xiao's leading advantage further expanded.

The Vigor filling his body suddenly expanded and became majestic. If it was a gurgling stream before, now it was like a wide river!

Han Xiao took a deep breath and felt the strength of his body. He noticed that his Vigor had undergone a significant transformation. With a thought, he opened the panel, first throwing all the free attribute points into Intelligence as usual, and then observed the earth-shattering changes in his attributes.

[Total Level: 95]

[Main Class: Mechanic]

[Strength 121, Dexterity 244, Endurance 214, Intelligence 570, Mystery 21, Charm 14, Luck 1]

[Free Attribute Points: 0]

[Potential Points: 82]

[Health Points: 13057]

[Stamina Points: 15420]

[Vigor: 5210 [Lv9]]

[Energy Level: 5377 Oner]

[Grade: B]

[You are a powerful enough Super. You are also a mainstay in the starry sky. Evolving to this point is enough to look down on a large number of creatures.]

"As expected, my Grade has reached B!" Han Xiao's face lit up with joy. "My Health Points alone have increased by more than 5,000, and my Vigor has reached 5,000, giving me a new layer of bonus. My attributes should have increased by 30% to 40% compared to before!"

He had finally crossed the threshold of Grade B and had a certain degree of self-protection ability. His combat power was far from comparable to Grade C, and he had two new advanced knowledge sets, so his combat mode could be upgraded!

A sense of fulfillment filled with harvest filled Han Xiao's heart.
