Chapter 581 Entering the Calamity Grade!
As the name suggests, if unleashed, an A-grade can cause natural disaster-level destruction on the surface of a planet within a certain period. Before the exploration era and the emergence of beyond A-grades, A-grades were the strongest combat power in the galaxy.
Even now, A-grade remains a huge watershed.
In his previous life, the level cap for players was only A-grade, so Han Xiao was very clear that once he crossed the threshold of A-grade, his strength would have a leap in quality.
This was a brand-new stage!
He was now level 136, with his main class at level 11 of this stage. Suppressing his excitement, he invested experience to level up.
[【Virtual Mechanic】 has been upgraded to Lv15, Strength +150, Agility +3, Stamina +3, Intelligence +6. You have gained 6 free attribute points and 1 potential point.]
[Your total level has reached 140. You can continue to level up after completing the advancement mission.]
Advancement missions at this level were impossible to complete easily. Han Xiao only glanced at it and knew that it would be impossible to complete in a short time. Without hesitation, he used the last mission settlement card left over from the previous random reward, and the advancement mission option immediately turned from an uncompleted gray to a completed gold.
This was the fastest time Han Xiao, the Great Technician, had ever completed an advancement mission.
In a word, exhilarating!
[Level 140 advancement mission completed! Stamina bonus increased! 1 Stamina = 80 Health = 90 Energy.]
"The last time I advanced at level 120, the Stamina bonus for advancement changed from +10 to +15 points, reaching 1:65. Now, the level 140 advancement is also +15, becoming 1:80. After this racial sublimation, the Stamina bonus for the next stage of advancement will increase to +20 points."
Han Xiao recalled silently.
Starting from level 60, every 40 levels was a racial sublimation, and level 140 was the third racial sublimation!
The interface instantly popped up with a stream of notifications:
[After spending a long time with Qi, your genes have been optimized again. You have taken another step forward on the road to evolution. You have obtained a sublimation of your life level. Detecting race: 【Void Lurker (Human Form)】... Randomly drawing seven suitable evolution directions... Drawing complete.]
[Please select one of the following seven options as your evolutionary race – Warning! The evolutionary process is irreversible, please choose carefully! 【Appendix – Description of Evolutionary Direction Characteristics】]
[【V-type Cosmic Human Race】 - 74% Compatibility]
[【Void Symbiote (Human Form)】 - 88% Compatibility]
[【Void Corrosor (Human Form)】 - 75% Compatibility]
[【Void Hunter (Human Form)】 - 77% Compatibility]
[【Chaos Observer (Human Form)】 - 72% Compatibility]
[【Eye of the Void】 - 42% Compatibility]
[【High-Energy Entity (Soul-Based Biological Type)】 - 35% Compatibility]
Of the seven options, five belonged to the Void Evolution system.
The Void system was a rare evolutionary chain that was difficult to obtain. Normal racial sublimation only had a very small probability of randomly generating the evolutionary direction of the Void system. Han Xiao consumed the bone marrow of the Void Dragon Race, obtained a part of the Void gene fragments, and only then did the 【Void Lurker】 appear in the last racial sublimation.
After becoming a 【Void Lurker】, his evolutionary chain shifted from the main branch of the human race to a fork in the Void system, while retaining some of the characteristics of the human race. The Void system was a mutated evolution with a high degree of integration with different species, so many evolution options were marked with the "Human Form" characteristic.
Of course, there were also options that did not retain human form, such as the 【Eye of the Void】, which turned into a large eyeball with tentacles, with its own fear judgment of Void Stare. Anyone who was stared at would have a miscarriage.
【High-Energy Entity】 was another state of energy life. Soul-based creatures were similar to liches. As long as the soul core was not damaged, even if the energy body was destroyed, it could be repaired at any time. This was a species suitable for the magic system.
Han Xiao naturally wanted to retain the Void system, an evolutionary direction with great potential, and also needed a human body to complete mechanical manufacturing. Some specialties could only continue to take effect in human form, so only four Void evolution options that retained human form met the requirements.
"I now have extremely high defense. I don't need to worry about health points. What I lack is attack power. I am a mechanic, and the higher the intelligence, the higher the bonus..."
After thinking for a while, Han Xiao made a decision in his heart and solemnly confirmed the evolutionary path.
[Selection complete. Race is evolving… Evolution complete.]
[Race has been changed to: 【Chaos Observer (Human Form)】. Molecular structure perfected, organ structure strengthened, metabolism changed, adaptability enhanced... Your potential aptitude has been improved!]
[You have obtained attribute completion: Strength +0, Agility +40, Stamina +15, Intelligence +94, Mystery +72, Charm +56, Energy +840, Energy level bonus attributes changed!]
A landslide-like sharp pain erupted from deep within his body. Han Xiao was mentally prepared and gritted his teeth to endure the pain, which was enough to make ordinary people faint instantly, trying to feel the changes in his cells and genes as much as possible.
He uncontrollably transformed into a Void creature form, and his vision flickered and jumped constantly between the physical world and the Void dimension, as if it was dozens of frames per second. This time, the pain in his brain was the most intense, as if it had been pierced by thousands of needles, like undergoing brain marrow acupuncture.
The attribute completion of 【Chaos Observer】 was biased toward intelligence. This was one of the reasons for choosing this path. Another reason was that Han Xiao still remembered that this path had a chance to evolve into a Void life of a very high level in the future, with greater potential than the other three options.
Fortunately, this time the pain was still not as great as the time he evolved into the 【Void Lurker】. Han Xiao himself was already a Void creature, and the reaction to gene changes was not so intense.
"Hoo... Hoo..."
After a long time, the pain slowly subsided. Han Xiao gasped for breath, covered in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water. The world in his eyes was vividly clear and became clearer. The speed of his brain's operation was faster, and all kinds of thoughts emerged one after another like bubbles in boiling water.
Han Xiao felt it for a few seconds, looked at the interface, and checked the new racial talents.
[Your racial characteristics have been changed!]
[You have obtained the racial characteristic 【Advanced Void Travel】!]
[You have obtained the racial characteristic 【Void Vision - Observer】!]
[You have obtained the racial characteristic 【Observation Mark】!]
[You have obtained the racial characteristic 【Chaos Body Release】!]
"Four talents!" Han Xiao's face lit up with joy. This was one more than the Void Lurker.
He tried them one by one, and he immediately had a clear understanding.
The most familiar of these was 【Advanced Void Travel】, which was an advanced version of 【Void Travel】. It lasted longer. As long as he was willing, it could last up to three minutes. The battery life was several times longer, meaning he could "flash" a farther distance and accomplish more things. The cooldown time was still five minutes.
The other three talents were special abilities of the 【Chaos Observer】. The 【Chaos Body Release】 was the core, and the other two talents could only be used after 【Chaos Body Release】 was activated.
With a thought in his mind, Han Xiao suddenly dispersed, turning into a hazy mist. This was a strange energy field. Light would be swallowed by the gray mist, but it still maintained its own gray color and did not turn black, which was very peculiar.
It was like a touch of gray paint smeared on the canvas of space.
And his senses also changed accordingly. He no longer used "eyes" to see things, nor did he use "ears" to hear things. His own chaotic mist possessed visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and other senses at the same time, and they were many times more acute. Moving around was no longer the control of the human body, but moving with the gray mist as the core, rolling and moving, constantly changing shape, like a cloud that could move on its own. It was also very fast and had a wall-penetrating ability similar to Void Travel, which was very magical.
Not only that, but there were also new senses, which were very difficult to describe, indescribable.
"Is this the Chaos Body?"
Han Xiao thought to himself, suddenly realizing how he could think without a brain. After thinking for a long time, he probably understood a little. After becoming the "Chaos Body", he had changed from a physical life to a field life. This chaotic mist was composed of countless organ structures at the microscopic level. Molecules and atomic structures formed the thinking circuit, and bioelectricity flowed through it.
He could create artificial intelligence, so he was not surprised by the new form of thinking organ.
He tried the other two talents. 【Void Vision - Observer】 was to escape into the gap between the Void dimension and the physical world in the form of the Chaos Body. Unlike 【Void Travel】, where time was almost still, the outside world's time flowed normally when using this ability, and he could hide in the gap to observe the changes in the outside world. The field of vision was very broad.
The 【Observation Mark】 was related to the new senses. As long as a mark was set on a person, a place, or a space coordinate, it could be observed synchronously across space, like a split-screen mode. The maximum number of marks was five, and they could be replaced.
"Wait... what kind of observation is this? This is obviously voyeurism!"
Han Xiao's mood was indescribable.
I've become a ward?!
It's getting more and more "perverted" - I like it!
After becoming the Chaos Body, the attribute panel also changed accordingly, showing the "transformed" state, immune to 95% damage. The energy value of the human form became the health value of the Chaos Body, meaning that he was using energy to maintain the Chaos Body. Most of the skills and specialties of the human form were frozen, but 【Advanced Void Travel】 would be greatly enhanced, and the cooldown time would be reduced from 5 minutes to 15 seconds.
If the health of the Chaos Body was exhausted, he would be forced to return to human form, the energy value would be zero, and the negative status of 【Seriously Injured】 would be added. At the same time, 【Chaos Body Release】 would enter a 48-hour cooldown period.
"In other words, the Chaos Body doesn't have much combat power. It's mainly used to use observation abilities and run away. This is an auxiliary function."
Releasing the transformation of 【Chaos Body Release】, the gray mist rolled and contracted, condensing into a Void-form human body, and then the skin returned to its normal color, turning back into its original human appearance.
Han Xiao took out a mirror and looked at it. This time it wasn't an illusion. He seemed to have really become more handsome, and he had grown taller. Especially these eyes were too beautiful. There was always an urge to dig them out and collect them.
These were the changes of racial sublimation. The panel had more prompts:
[Your combat power energy level has exceeded 10,000 Ouna!]
[You have been promoted to A-grade!]
[You have obtained a special grade bonus!]
Special grade bonus, this was an additional increase that would appear only when reaching A-grade, taking 10,000 Ouna of energy level as the standard. For every 10,000 energy levels increased, a new level of grade bonus would be obtained. The difference in combat power energy level between A-grade and "beyond A" was very large.
There were strong and weak among A-grades. The easiest way was to compare combat power energy levels, or to distinguish the difference in levels, attributes, skills, and specialties. An A+ level powerhouse could even crush an ordinary natural disaster who had just entered A-grade.
[Your Stamina bonus is an additional +10, currently: 1 Stamina = 90 Health = 100 Energy.]
[All your resistances +8%!]
[Highest attribute +10%, other attributes +5%]
[You have gained an additional 30 free attribute points]
[You have gained an additional 5 potential points]
[You have comprehended the skill 【Mechanical Force Field】!]
[You have obtained the grade specialty 【Extraordinary Power】!]
These two were exclusive abilities that could only be comprehended upon reaching A-grade. The grade specialty 【Extraordinary Power】 was fixed, while the skill would change with the profession. Han Xiao had played different professions before and was very clear about this.
[【Mechanical Force Field】: When you apply Mechanical Force bonus, a Mechanical Force field will be formed in a certain area around a mechanical object as the center point. The mechanical objects within this range can randomly share 40%~80% of the bonus effect (cannot be stacked), only consuming the energy of one mechanical object. The field range depends on the Intelligence attribute.]
This skill was a practical skill for the mechanical system and was also the core skill of the legion stream. It was equivalent to only adding a bonus to one mechanical object, and the consumption remained unchanged, but some of the surrounding mechanical objects could share the effect, indirectly enhancing endurance. In player terms, this was called "splash bonus".
[【Extraordinary Power】: You have comprehended how to perfectly control your own abilities. The intensity of your abilities is increased (including but not limited to various weapons and equipment, mechanical creations with Mechanical Force bonus, summons, etc., controlled by you). The bonus effect depends on the total level of the character, Lv1~Lv100, +2% attack power every 10 levels; Lv100~Lv160, +3% every 10 levels; above Lv160, +4% every 10 levels.]
[Current ability intensity increase: 32%]
The previous ability increased endurance, while 【Extraordinary Power】 was the main reason why the destructive power of natural disaster-level powerhouses greatly increased. The intensity of the ability was basically equivalent to attack power.
This bonus was independent of all specialties and skills, meaning that no matter how high the original attack power was, it would be increased by a percentage on this basis.
The stronger the attack, the stronger the increase.
The higher the level, the higher the bonus.
The terrifying attack power of Ames was due to this specialty... of course, mainly because Dragon Throne was tough enough.
All the advancement prompts ended here. Han Xiao used the remaining experience to max out 【Mechanical Force Field】, and then leveled up twice again, throwing all the free attribute points into Intelligence.
Above level 140, the experience consumption for leveling up became greater. It cost nearly 2 billion experience to level up only twice. If the mission rewards of version 2.0 were taken as the standard, it would take until the year of the monkey to level up.
In his previous life, the mission rewards for players increased with the version. When they reached this level, the experience rewards started at tens of millions.
"Finally reached the level of natural disaster!"
His whole body was filled with surging power. Han Xiao looked excited, clenched his fist, and felt that he could kill a hamon with one punch.
He looked at the attribute panel and checked the overall changes:
[Total Level: 142]
