Chapter 1 I Thought It Would Be a Random Draw

"It really appeared, and it's a specified learning type of mission. I thought it would be a random ability draw..."

Seeing the content of the mission, Han Xiao's eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.

This type of mission is similar to hiring. In his previous life, when players accepted missions from some NPCs, they could negotiate substantive mission rewards with the NPCs, such as monetary amounts, skill learning, item rewards, and so on. There was a life profession called [Lobbyist], which possessed eloquence skills and talents, and its purpose was to increase the success rate of communication with NPCs, with an effect similar to that of a player's personal reputation.

However, missions that specified learning a character's ability had an extremely low probability of appearing, requiring luck. Most of the time, the reward triggered was a random ability draw.

Han Xiao was only following the experience of players from his previous life, trying to use persuasive skills to influence the rewards after the mission was generated, and he didn't have a 100% certainty of generating ability-drawing missions.

In his plan, he thought that at most a random ability draw mission would appear, but he didn't expect this unexpected surprise.

"In that case, there's no need to rely on luck."

Han Xiao immediately felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that at most a random ability draw reward would appear, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to draw Perfect Mechanical Sense in one or two tries, so he prepared many sets of "scripts" for Nilo, intending to try a few more times if he didn't get it in one go.

But with a specified type of mission, there was no need to torment Nilo anymore.

At this moment, Han Xiao suddenly had a guess, and his expression immediately became strange.

--I got this mission, could it also be the work of Nilo's Advanced Lucky Aura, getting me in place in one go, so I won't continue to trick him, and Nilo doesn't have to go through the more cruel "scripts" later? It seems like that's not impossible!

"Terrifying, terrifying..."

The corner of Han Xiao's mouth twitched, not knowing what expression to make.

In fact, this time was also slightly deviated from his script. Originally, Han Xiao wanted to let Nilo fall into a desperate situation and call for his help, but he didn't expect this kid to be a bit capable of fighting, and he was also protected by the halo of the protagonist, and he forcibly broke a bloody path, turned danger into safety, and ran away by himself, almost disrupting Han Xiao's plan.

If he hadn't made two preparations and created a fake signal, even Nilo's little lover would have been tricked in, and Nilo might not have come to him for help, so it would have been a waste of effort.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Han Xiao came back to his senses and saw Nilo waiting nervously online, so he couldn't help but smile slightly:

"Okay, the agreement is reached, leave everything to me."

Nilo nodded repeatedly, wiped away his tears, and couldn't help but ask, "Godfather, when can you come over? I'm afraid it will take too long, Mia will..."

He didn't know that Han Xiao's mechanical legion was hidden in the fleet, and he thought that Han Xiao's help was to rescue Mia afterward, which would take many days, so he was worried that Mia would be abused by the enemy during this time.

Hearing this, Han Xiao resisted his laughter, gave him a meaningful look, and said lightly, "Don't worry, it won't be too long."

With that, he hung up the communication, without intending to explain to Nilo.

Breathing out, Han Xiao was in a happy mood, switched back to the perspective of the Sovereign clone on the battlefield, and nodded.

"It's time to make a move."

...

"Ugh, where is this..."

Mia's mind was in a chaotic state, her eyelids were extremely heavy, and she struggled to open her eyes halfway, and the scene she was in jumped into view.

Five meters in front of her was a transparent nano-material glass window, and several Kunde soldiers were standing at the window, looking at her and whispering to each other, but the window隔绝the sound, and she couldn't hear anything.

Her whole body was full of fatigue, and her body was out of control, like a ghost压床, and it was extremely difficult to move even a finger. It seemed that some extremely powerful tranquilizer had been injected into her body. She could clearly feel her body being fixed on some device, and her hands and feet couldn't move.

"What's wrong with me, why am I here..." Mia racked her brains, trying to recall what she had experienced before losing consciousness.

Her brain was like lead, and the speed of her thinking was extremely slow. Fragments of memory slowly appeared in her mind, and she pondered for more than ten seconds before she remembered the cause and effect.

--She followed the team to the field to check for abnormal signals, and encountered several enemy ships that suddenly appeared in the empty field. The entire team was caught off guard, and she was also affected by several ship guns, suffered serious injuries, fell to the ground and lost her fighting power. Her brain was shocked, dizzy, and the last blurry scene she saw before she completely fainted was the Kunde soldiers approaching, squatting down in front of her, and then she didn't know anything.

"So I was caught by the enemy? What about the others..."

Mia was shocked and wanted to turn her head, but her head was also fixed, so she could only try her best to turn her eyeballs and scan to the side with the corner of her eye. She found that there was a row of fixing devices next to her, and all her teammates were controlled, and most of them were still unconscious.

At this moment, a weak familiar voice sounded on the other side.

"Mia, are you awake?"

Mia hurriedly looked over with the corner of her eye and found that it was the captain of the team she was in. She was stunned and said, "Captain, you were also caught?"

"I can't fight against warships, but the enemy didn't kill us and captured all of us alive."

"It's good that everyone is not dead." Mia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Heh..." The captain smiled bitterly, "You're wrong, it might be better to die than to fall into the hands of these enemies."

"Why?" Mia was a little dizzy and asked subconsciously.

"Think about it, why did the enemy capture us alive? If I guessed correctly, they probably regard us as research materials. What awaits us in the future will be all kinds of inhuman dissections and experiments. Every inch of flesh and blood in our bodies will become the enemy's experimental materials. Compared with this kind of pain, death is nothing at all." The captain's tone was desperate, "Others can't take care of themselves, and no one can save us."

Hearing this, Mia suddenly felt a chill.

Although she was a super-powered person, she was only a teenager. How could she have experienced such a desperate situation.

At this moment, Nilo's figure involuntarily appeared in her mind, and her heart ached, and her face was pale.

"I'm sorry... I may have to break my promise, and I can't go on with you..."

Mia's eyes were filled with mist, she lowered her eyes, and tears streaked across her beautiful face, leaving two tear marks.

At this time, the door opened, and several Kunde soldiers outside came in, took out syringes from the cabinet next to them, and walked towards the two who had woken up.

Although the other party didn't speak, Mia knew from their actions that the enemy intended to anesthetize them and prevent them from regaining consciousness.

Mia wanted to fight to the death, but all the cells in her body fell into silence, and she couldn't mobilize her strength.

She could only watch helplessly as the Kunde soldier approached her, her wide eyes filled with despair.

Rumble!!

At this moment, a violent tremor suddenly ran through the entire spaceship, and several Kunde soldiers almost fell.

Before Mia could recover, she saw a flash in front of her eyes. The several Kunde soldiers who were still alive in the last second suddenly turned into a few corpses that were slapped on the wall and turned into cakes. A mechanical war soldier appeared in front of her like a teleportation... In fact, it was too fast, and she couldn't see it clearly with her strength.

Crack crack...

The next moment, the mechanical war soldier crushed the device that imprisoned Mia and the others, and quickly injected everyone with Aurora potion.

Everyone's spirits were lifted, and they all returned to their peak state. They groped their bodies, and their faces revealed the ecstasy of surviving a disaster.

Everyone's eyes turned to the mechanical war soldier, with surprise and doubt in their eyes. They didn't expect that someone would come to rescue them in this desperate situation.

Mia's mood rose and fell sharply. She was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses. She stared straight at the mechanical war soldier and couldn't help but ask, "W-who are you? Are you also from the legion?"

"What, don't you recognize me?" The mechanical war soldier let out Han Xiao's laughter, "I am Black Star."

Everyone suddenly widened their eyes and looked stunned.

It was actually the legion commander who saved us himself?!

How could he be here?!

Mia opened her small mouth wide, and suddenly realized, she felt that she had guessed the truth.

--A figure of Black Star's level suddenly appearing here, there is only one explanation... that is, he has been secretly protecting Nilo all along!

The others also reacted one after another, feeling fortunate to have survived... Fortunately, they were assigned to the same unit as a guy with a background like Nilo, otherwise this kind of turning point would not have occurred, and at least half their lives were saved by Nilo.

"Okay, my mechanical legion has taken over the battlefield, you guys follow me."

The mechanical war soldier controlled by Han Xiao waved his hand, calmed down the excited crowd, thought for a while, reached out and patted Mia on the shoulder, and said slowly:

"After the war, let Nilo bring you to me, and I will introduce you to a few Calamity Grade martial artists and let them take you as a student."

Mia suddenly widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief. She was stunned for a long time before she realized that Han Xiao had given her the opportunity to apprentice to a Calamity Grade, and she was immediately excited.

She was excited and flattered, unable to imagine that she would be treated differently by Black Star, and she hurriedly nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Your Excellency Black Star!"

"It's nothing, I just think you have the potential to become a Calamity Grade."

Han Xiao smiled, then turned to look at the other team members present, pondered for a second, and said, "And you, after you go back, you can report to Melos. I will let him increase your legion authority. You can be promoted, form a new team, or choose a new position. The material rewards will not be less for you."

I didn't expect that being caught would have such benefits... Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.

...

Outside the floating base, the mechanical legion that had been squatting all along suddenly revealed its fangs.

Under the crushing strength, the entire base had no room for resistance. It was instantly virtually invaded, all armed forces were disintegrated, and the entire base fell under Han Xiao's control.

Whether it was the Kunde soldiers or the officers, they all fell from heaven to abyss and became prisoners.

And on the battlefield, the invisible mechanical legion finally appeared, and joined the battle suddenly. Under the shocked gaze of one legion warrior after another, it destroyed all the enemy's warships with lightning speed.

Nilo and others were still running away, when a mechanical legion suddenly appeared in front of them, firing at the back.

Everyone hurriedly looked back and saw the beam passing over their spaceship, easily penetrating the several Kunde warships chasing behind them.

Boom boom boom!!

Flames lit up, and all the spaceships chasing them exploded from the inside out, turning into fireworks in the sky.

Seeing this scene, Nilo was stunned.

How could they come so fast?!

Speak of the devil, the devil arrives. It's only been a minute or two since he asked for help!

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the meaningful look in Han Xiao's eyes when he hung up the communication, and suddenly realized.

--Although Godfather wants me to train alone, he has actually been sending troops to secretly protect me. These mechanical legions are probably hidden inside the troops. When it comes to a truly critical moment, they will help.

So the call just now was just to educate me?

"Godfather... he's a knife-mouthed, tofu-hearted person."

Realizing Han Xiao's "good intentions", Nilo was moved in his heart, wiped away the hot tears in his eyes, and secretly evaluated Han Xiao's character...

--It's exactly the opposite of Han the Great Technician's true face.

Including Nilo's thoughts, they were also calculated by Han Xiao. The progress of the matter was all proceeding according to the script of Han the Great Director.

The entire battlefield was under the control of Han Xiao's mechanical legion. This small and medium-sized Kunde fleet could not make any waves at all. Han Xiao's mechanical legion quickly ended the battle, allowing all the legion warriors to land and assemble, and then sent Mia and others back.

Seeing that Mia was safe and sound, Nilo's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, he let out a long breath, and showed a comforting smile.

"That's great, you're okay."

Mia saw Nilo at first sight, trotted to him, and wanted to give him a hug, but she was a little embarrassed to see so many people next to her, so she just raised her fist and gently punched Nilo's chest armor, and whispered: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to come back."

Nilo raised a smile, "I said I would protect you."

Seeing his silly smile, Mia couldn't help but want to go against him, and muttered, "It was clearly Your Excellency Black Star who protected me."

"Cough cough." Han Xiao coughed dryly next to him, interrupting the conversation between the two, "I've saved the people for you, be more careful next time you do things, your luck won't always be so good, I won't always be protecting you."

"I understand." Nilo turned around, with a serious face, and solemnly thanked Han Xiao, "Thank you, I will keep today's lesson in mind, and I will never act rashly in the future. I promise you, I will not waste my talent."

Han Xiao smiled and nodded, then turned his head to look at the other legion warriors present, nodded slightly, and said slowly:

"Although I intervened in the battle, no matter what, you have captured so many Kunde prisoners, I will not rob you of your credit. You send these prisoners back, and go to Melos afterward, he will arrange extra remuneration for you."

This time, in order to let Nilo "overcome the tribulation", the legion warriors who were traveling with him were also within Han Xiao's range of utilization. Han Xiao had already prepared compensation for this, and he would not be stingy in this regard. When he used the other party, if the other party was his own person, Han Xiao would give back, mutual benefit - from Bennett to Godora to the Purple Crystal Civilization to the Crimson Empire, he has always been such a style, never changed.

The invisible mechanical legion monitored the battle throughout the entire process. A thrilling battle was exchanged for the opportunity to be promoted, get a raise, and be a cadre. This deal was not bad, and Han Xiao was the one who earned the most.

After a few hasty words of comfort, Han Xiao was not interested in staying to watch Nilo and Mia flirting and flirting, and immediately withdrew his consciousness and switched his vision back to the main body.

"Finally done!"

Breathing out, Han Xiao suppressed his excitement and couldn't wait to settle the mission.

[【Nilo's Request】 is completed!]

[You get the reward: Specify to learn one ability (skill/talent) from Nilo]

[Please select one of the following abilities as a reward:]

A list of abilities popped up on the panel, and all of Nilo's skills and talents were listed one by one.

Han Xiao knew Nilo's abilities very well. After a glance, among so many abilities, the extraction priority of the two talents was the highest, one was [Perfect Mechanical Sense] and the other was [Advanced Lucky Aura].

There was only one ability to specify the extraction. Between these two abilities, Han Xiao had a rigid demand for [Perfect Mechanical Sense]. This was one of the top template talents for mechanical affinity, and basically every serious Beyond Grade A mechanic possessed it.

[Advanced Lucky Aura], well, he also wanted it, but the priority should be slightly lower, after all, this ability does not help combat power, and it will indirectly weaken his "Going to the Yellow Springs Together - Lucky Attribute Special Edition" skill.

Moreover, his basic luck attribute was a little bit low, and this ability would have a limited effect. He was also afraid that after his own luck was high, it would be more difficult to draw the mission settlement card.

Besides, with Ding Ke, Han Xiao didn't have that much urgent need for luck.

[Perfect Mechanical Sense] was the planned goal, and he achieved the goal in one go. Han Xiao was very satisfied with this efficiency. In order to reward Nilo, he decided not to let Nilo experience pain for the time being.

As for [Advanced Lucky Aura], he would find a chance to arrange him once in the future... Han Xiao touched his chin.

Putting away his devilish thoughts, Han Xiao calmed down and clicked on the target on the interface.

The next moment, a strong mechanical force current flowed out of his brain!

[Selection completed!]

[Your talent [Elementary Mechanical Sense] has disappeared]

[You have obtained [Perfect Mechanical Sense]!]
