Chapter 183 He Is Rich

True to form, a tycoon is generous indeed!

Han Xiao was overjoyed.

Cosmic civilizations naturally wouldn't skimp on the treatment given to Beyond Grade As. Ultimate Knowledge was out of the question, but basic to advanced knowledge was standard. With a wave of a hand, he was given them. Back in his previous life, when Han Xiao was in the Crimson Dynasty camp, he had to keep doing missions to grind faction contribution to exchange for knowledge piece by piece. There was no comparison to the current situation.

After a few words, the communication ended. Han Xiao came to the mechanical workshop, and before long, the data was transmitted.

A glance revealed a look of joy on his face.

Currently, he had mastered four Advanced Knowledges: 【Controllable Annihilation Weapon】 from the Armed tree, 【Exotic Energy】 from the Energy tree, 【Quantum Matrix Thought Field】 and 【Advanced Space Application】 from the Control tree.

What Su Yi sent over were the final five Advanced Knowledges:

Armed Tree—【Advanced Materials Science】, 【Ultra-Complex Mechanical Architecture Technology】

Energy Tree—【Super-Horizon Energy Transmission】, 【Activation Theory】

Control Tree—【Spacetime Dimensional Exploration】

"That's all of them!" Han Xiao was extremely excited.

The Control tree was his main profession, and learning an Advanced Knowledge only required 4 potential points, while the other two trees required 12 points each time.

Han Xiao had saved a large number of potential points when advancing to Beyond Grade A. Although it was not enough to max out these Knowledges, it was no problem to learn one level of each.

Almost no player could be so extravagant. In the later versions of his previous life, players could only selectively learn one or two Advanced Knowledges from other trees, but Han Xiao was different.

He had a massive amount of experience to improve his skill levels, so he could farm several times more potential points than players. Lighting up all the Advanced Knowledges of all trees was not impossible.

"Heber thinks twenty days is too short, hehe..."

Han Xiao chuckled to himself.

Compared to other mechanics, the interface was his greatest advantage. He only needed to invest potential points to quickly learn knowledge, saving a lot of time. He could get the most growth in the limited time before the duel, and then he would have more trump cards to deal with Overlord.

Without hesitation, Han Xiao invested potential points and confirmed the learning of these five Advanced Knowledges.

[Detected Mechanic Advanced Knowledge—【Spacetime Dimensional Exploration】, do you want to invest 4 potential points to learn it?]

[Learning in progress, please do not interrupt... 9%... 24%... 57%...]

[Learning successful! You have mastered 【Spacetime Dimensional Exploration】!]

[Detected Mechanic Advanced Knowledge—【Advanced Materials Science】, do you want to invest 12 potential points to learn it?]

[Learning in progress, please do not interrupt...]

[Learning successful! You have mastered 【Advanced Materials Science】!]

[Detected...]

The vast amount of data poured into his brain. With Han Xiao's intelligence, this load had become very easy.

Countless mechanical knowledge was disassembled, analyzed, and then reassembled into a memory data, stored in the memory palace.

After investing 52 potential points, he mastered all five Advanced Knowledges, and their names appeared on the skill tree of the interface, shining with orange light—on the career skill tree, the names of basic knowledge were displayed in white, advanced in green, high-end in purple, advanced in orange, and the higher ultimate knowledge in bright gold.

At this time, the interface popped up several more prompts.

[Prerequisites have been met, your skill 【Quantum Infinite Distance Transmission Channel】 has been activated!]

[Prerequisites have been met, your skill 【Sub-Dimensional March】 has been activated!]

[Prerequisites have been met, your skill 【Machinery Force·Kingship】 has been activated!]

The names of the three Emperor Mechanic skills changed from gray to normal green, showing the unlocked state, and Han Xiao felt relieved.

The newly mastered knowledge satisfied all the prerequisites of these three skills. Only the last skill 【Master of Kings】 was not activated. This skill not only required 【Activation Theory】 but also a higher level of Ultimate Knowledge.

Because 【Master of Kings】 was a long-term development ability, it would not help much in the duel more than ten days later. Han Xiao was not in a hurry and planned to find a chance to unlock it later.

"With the Quantum Infinite Distance Transmission Channel, the mechanical army can fight remotely. I don't need to descend in person to enjoy the mechanical force bonus. In this way, my mechanical army has the ability to go on expeditions independently, and the Sub-Dimensional March can eliminate the troop depot box jump tactics. The support speed and carrying scale are greatly improved. Finally, the Machinery Force·Kingship provides my main body with stronger power..."

Han Xiao was very satisfied.

The Emperor Mechanic's skills were very powerful, but the abilities he gained were more than that.

With the change in the knowledge structure, his own methods of using machinery and mechanical force have also been improved, and professional knowledge brought new skills.

[You have comprehended the skill 【Activated Mechanical Force】!]

[You have comprehended the skill 【Advanced Machinery Creation】!]

[You have comprehended the skill 【Advanced Material Refining】!]

[You have comprehended the skill 【Legendary Enhancement Modification】!]

[You have comprehended the skill 【Mechanical Fusion·Endowment】!]

Han Xiao raised his hand and released his mechanical force. A ball of mechanical force condensed in his palm, and the color changed. The blue of the lightning was mixed with light golden flakes, showing a blue-gold color, which was very gorgeous.

This was the effect of 【Activated Mechanical Force】. This skill originated from 【Activation Theory】 and was a passive ability. The panel effect was +150% mechanical affinity, and it became +280% when upgraded to the full level. The introduction was to give the mechanical force the characteristics of activation, and the mechanical force would therefore appear on the appearance. The mechanical force became blue-gold interlinked lightning, which was commensurate with the title of Emperor Mechanic... perhaps there was an energy light and shadow effect augmentation aura bonus, which was much better looking than before.

【Advanced Machinery Creation】 was an advanced version of 【Primary Machinery Creation】, which greatly improved the speed of mechanical manufacturing. As long as there were enough raw materials, the materials could be quickly turned into parts through mechanical force, and then assembled into machinery according to the drawings. It could be said that even if he didn't bring machinery, as long as there was metal around that was not scrapped, he would not lack weapons.

Another function of this skill was to improve the effect of 【Scrap Modification】. Originally, he could only restore the damaged machinery up to four times, but now the upper limit had been increased to eight times, and the reduction in mechanical performance each time had been reduced from 20% to 10%, doubling the battery life.

【Advanced Material Refining】 and 【Legendary Enhancement Modification】 were both advanced stages of the basic skills of mechanics, improving his ability to synthesize new materials and strengthen machinery.

The last 【Mechanical Fusion·Endowment】 had the same goal as 【Master of Kings】 and also originated from the advanced knowledge 【Activation Theory】 and was also a soldier training ability.

The effect was to give a mechanical soldier the ability to devour other machinery, decompose the target, and load all the other party's armor and equipment onto himself to repair the hardware or enhance the performance... broadly speaking, this was the evolution and growth model of mechanical life.

However, the two skills were not overlapping. The basis of 【Master of Kings】 was the activated mechanical force in the mechanical body, which cultivated energy, while 【Mechanical Fusion·Endowment】 was the fusion and improvement of external hardware. To put it simply, 【Master of Kings】 was equivalent to increasing the "strength bonus" of the mechanical soldier, while 【Mechanical Fusion·Endowment】 increased the mechanical soldier's "physical strength" and "basic attributes."

The two complemented each other, and cooperation was the normal growth channel for mechanical soldiers to mechanical life.

"These skills are important means for me to improve my combat power at this stage..." Han Xiao thought to himself.

Due to the experience penalty of the Evolution Cube for more than ten months, Han Xiao did not plan to waste extra experience to improve his total level. He decided to use the experience to improve the level of his skills and increase his confidence in facing Overlord.

After carefully browsing the new skills and maxing out most of the new skills, Han Xiao closed the interface.

These new Advanced Knowledges could be applied to the mechanical army. There were still more than ten days left, and his own combat power could still be improved to a new peak in the short term.

At this time, the fleet and Longtan were on their way, so Han Xiao handed over the affairs to the cadres and locked himself in the mechanical workshop to build machinery. The others knew that he was preparing for battle, and even Ames didn't come to disturb his seclusion.

...

More than ten days passed in a flash, and the day of the duel arrived as scheduled.

The barren cosmic belt outside the West Wind Star System became extremely lively and had already become a boundless ocean of spaceships.

After twenty days of rushing, countless spaceships rushed here from nearby areas, overlapping and dense, as if endless.

In various star fields, star clusters, star systems, and planets, the number of people watching the live broadcast through the interstellar media was countless times the number of on-site audiences, and the total number was an astronomical number that could not be counted.

This battlefield had become a stage that attracted worldwide attention.

At this moment, no Beyond Grade A had yet arrived, and everyone was looking forward to it, waiting excitedly for the main event to arrive.

The fleets of the War Realm and the Zero Organization were still confronting each other, and Clent and the Crystal of the two sides also sent official fleets to the scene to maintain stability. The atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out, and the secret war was likely to evolve into a formal civilization war at any time, but the official troops of both sides were very restrained and tacitly did not cause conflict.

"Too many people are coming..."

In a Star Diamond-class flagship on the scene, Leif looked at the boundless crowd of onlookers through the porthole. Even though he was high-ranking and experienced, he couldn't help but feel nervous in the face of such a shocking scene.

There were probably trillions of on-site viewers here!

"If things get chaotic later, we won't be able to maintain law and order." Leif was worried and turned to look at the ship's communications officer and asked, "How long until Black Star arrives?"

"The Black Star Army headquarters just sent a message, saying that Lord Black Star's troops will arrive soon."

Leif squeezed his palms and couldn't help but fantasize about various situations that might happen later. He led the Crystal fleet here not only to support Han Xiao but also to provide support for Black Star when necessary.

With great difficulty, he had a Beyond Grade A ally, and Crystal had made up his mind not to give up. If the battle situation was unfavorable, Crystal would not hesitate to risk a full-scale war to provide assistance—anyway, the secret war had fallen into a stalemate, and Crystal was not afraid to tear up the table—and the power to act according to circumstances was in the hands of Leif and several senior officers, so Leif felt heavy and very dignified.

At the same time, in the Zero Organization's position, the Black Star Army's fleet was stationed in the most conspicuous position. Hundreds of thousands of warships were in the air, and two to three million players were in some of the warships, with pairs of eyes staring at the scene outside the porthole.

"The war is about to begin today..."

Mad Blade couldn't help clenching his fists.

He glanced around, and the faces of the many players beside him were filled with curiosity, anticipation, tension, excitement, and excitement.

The scale of this grand event was unprecedented and was the biggest event in the storyline since the three versions of Galaxy, and no player was willing to miss it.

In the War Realm's camp, there were also a group of players on the scene, about a thousand people, who were exactly the "rebel faction" headed by Summer Night Flower—this was the name given to them by the army players on the forum.

At this time, looking at the Black Star Army fleet confronting in the distance, Summer Night Flower felt a little complicated.

Once upon a time, she was also a member of it...

In Summer Night Flower's view, the war between the War Realm and the Black Star Army's boss may be the last chance to confirm his conjecture.

The mercenary alliance also sent people to the scene to watch the battle, occupying a VIP seat with a wide view.

"It's an unprecedented grand occasion. How many years has it been since the Shattered Star Ring had such a big scene?"

In the mercenary alliance bosses' private chat channel, Gulejia couldn't help but sigh. He was the leader of the Sky Ring Army and a current senior member of the mercenary alliance's council.

"I remember the last time a Beyond Grade A openly dueled seems to have been two hundred and seventy-six years ago, when Austin exchanged blows with a previous generation of experts in the Shattered Star Ring?" Another legion commander pondered.

"More than two hundred years ago, tsk, I was still an officer in the Elf Royal Court's guerrilla team at that time." You Yu casually threw a piece of unknown creature's jerky into his mouth and mumbled while chewing.

"I bet you definitely didn't have this kind of quirk two hundred years ago." Gulejia couldn't help but glanced at the jerky in You Yu's hand.

"What quirk, I'm a gourmet." You Yu rolled his eyes.

Gulejia shook his head and ignored her, and said, "Since Black Star has become a Beyond Grade A, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, I have to invite him to serve as the chief director of the mercenary alliance and put it under his name, so that everyone can get more development opportunities."

The legion commanders nodded one after another, and no one disagreed with this.

The mercenary alliance was also a well-known large force in the Shattered Star Ring. The Black Star Army was one of the founders, and everyone did not mind Black Star becoming the nominal leader of the mercenary alliance. Instead, the mercenary alliance had a more promising future with the name of Beyond Grade A.

There were also many cooperative forces like the mercenary alliance who came to the scene to support Han Xiao, such as star beast organizations, major consortiums, and so on.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, a blue vortex-like portal suddenly appeared in the empty center of the battlefield and was expanding rapidly.

"It's finally here!"

Whoosh—

At this moment, all the onlookers on the scene rioted at the same time!

Everyone's excitement was instantly ignited!!
