[You have gained 1 Legend Points]
"So the feedback from the [Divine Equipment] is this kind of good stuff."
Han Xiao's eyes lit up.
[Divine Equipment] is a profession specialization that comes with the advancement to Divine Throne Mechanic. It only takes effect when crafting Universal Treasure. Successful crafting will provide additional bonuses. This is the first time he has seen the specific bonus feedback, and he was immediately pleasantly surprised.
Han Xiao previously didn't know what other channels besides advancement could be used to obtain Divine Transformation Points, but now he has finally found a new way: crafting equipment of the Universal Treasure level.
The same blueprint cannot be obtained repeatedly. This means that even if you build another gold-quality Sovereign Mecha, you will not get new Divine Transformation Points. Therefore, you need to get other gold blueprints.
Han Xiao was somewhat curious. In history, other Beyond Grade A mechanics had also created Universal Treasure, but the intelligence provided by the Empire did not mention this method of Divine Transformation.
On second thought, he had a vague guess.
It is estimated that some of the Beyond Grade A artifacts that create Universal Treasure have not met the prerequisites for Divine Transformation, so they cannot perceive this effect, such as Austin.
Those who knew about Beyond Grade A, perhaps out of personal motives or other reasons, kept it to themselves and did not report it... or it could be that a higher civilization deliberately concealed it.
It's even possible that other Beyond Grade A characters don't have a panel, and only they can obtain Divine Transformation Points through this channel!
Of course, it's possible that the Empire was unaware of this secret, while the other two were, since the Three Universal Civilizations are not a single entity and wouldn't share secrets with each other.
"The problems I face at my current level of personal power have finally touched upon the blind spots of knowledge in cosmic civilizations... That's right, the Empire also doesn't know about the First Sanctum."
Han Xiao shook his head slightly.
"I still have the blueprints for the Great Emperor's Robe. If I can build it, I can get some more Divine Transformation. Sure enough, improving strength by creating things, that's the proper style of a mechanic."
Han Xiao thought to himself.
As for randomly reducing attributes and replacing them with free attribute points, the effect is similar to resetting attribute points. Each time you level up or your species evolves, all attributes will automatically increase, while resetting attribute points allows you to add some unnecessary attribute points to your main attributes, which can slowly optimize your combat power and is quite useful.
Han Xiao thought that resetting skill points should be able to be triggered repeatedly, but there might be limitations. Perhaps the extent of the reset is related to the difficulty of creating the Universal Treasure; the higher the difficulty, the more skill points can be reset at once.
Furthermore, based on the cost accumulation mechanism of the blueprints... if the same Universal Treasure blueprint is obtained repeatedly, the efficiency of resetting points may gradually decrease. For example, if the first time you create Sovereign, you reset 200 points, but the second time you don't reach 200.
"But this time, my luck was swept away..."
Han Xiao opened the attribute panel and watched as the stick with the luck attribute turned into an egg. He couldn't help but twitch his lips.
In the past, there was a secondary profession called [Gambler]. Players have tried it, and the luck attribute can drop to as low as 0 points. This is the bottom line, which means the last fig leaf for [Gambler], allowing them to stand in an "invincible" position.
I only had 1 point of luck, which dropped to 0, and then I gained 200 points of free attribute...
That's a net gain of 199 attribute points!
"Was I lucky or unlucky this time...?" Han Xiao's eye twitched slightly.
Although he made a huge profit, he couldn't smile; tears welled up inside him.
Sometimes, you only realize the value of something when you lose it.
"Brother, we can't live without you. Zero is impossible!"
Master Han gritted his teeth and solemnly clicked the "+" sign next to the "Lucky" attribute...
I added a little bit.
The next moment, the Luck attribute value returned to that noble and pure, aloof and independent, transcendent and ethereal "1".
At this moment, Han Xiao felt as if his soul had been elevated, just like the song says... "I and my last bit of stubbornness, I'll hold hands tightly and never let go!"
--Actually, Han Xiao was mainly worried that if his luck was cleared, the luck attribute would not be included in the random range the next time he reset his stats.
He spent a bunch of attribute points for nothing. He appeared sorrowful, but was actually overjoyed. He had tasted the sweetness and wanted to do it a few more times.
"Adding the points I have in my inventory, I now have 2248 free attribute points. My stamina is currently over 11700. Once it exceeds 15000 points, I can get an extra Divine Transformation point for the next advancement... Hmm, I'll save some more."
Suppressing his excitement, Han Xiao looked at the attribute panel, thought for a moment, and added the 1 point of Divine Transformation he had obtained to [Divine Transformation - Mechanical].
Mechanical and Void represent the main profession and species, respectively. The essence of these two paths to Divine Transformation should be the same for everyone. After testing, the former enhances mechanical abilities, while the latter improves racial talents and provides additional attribute enhancements.
Now that we have the [Divine Equipment] as a channel to obtain Divine Transformation Points, we should research more golden blueprints, which requires improving mechanical abilities. The main career path not only increases basic Mechanical Affinity and ability strength, but also slightly enhances the effects of various mechanical skills, making them more targeted.
The next moment, his cells operated at full power, energy fluctuations increased dramatically, and his whole body emitted dazzling electric light. His flesh and bones felt hot, itchy, and stinging, causing Han Xiao to squint.
[[Divine Transformation - Mechanism (2/?)]]
[Phase 1: Mechanical Affinity +1000%, Ability Strength +20%, Basic Effects of All Mechanic Class Skills Slightly Enhanced]
[Second Stage (New): Manufacturing, Enhancement, and Repair abilities +15%, every 30 points of Intelligence +1% Mechanical Affinity, targeted enhancement of main branch skills (virtual branches)]
So-so.
Han Xiao scratched his chin, feeling that the bonus was less than the first time. Perhaps the first time was like an opening gift and was an exception, while the bonus increased with each subsequent level.
As he spoke, he looked at the new specialty [Universal Treasure Creator], which explained that creating Universal Treasure signifies reaching a new level. The effects include a 10% increase in mechanical crafting performance, a +1 to all mechanical skills (which can exceed the cap), a 4% increase in the base success rate of crafting gold equipment, and a 2% increase in the base success rate of researching gold blueprints.
The bonus was pretty good, but Han Xiao's attention was drawn to the accompanying hints about this specialization.
[You possess the [Universal Treasure Creator] feat, fulfilling the prerequisite requirements.]
[You have obtained 1 [First Sanctum] skill fragment]
"It's that so-called First Sanctum again..."
A glint of lightning flashed in Han Xiao's eyes.
He currently has two skill fragments, and he doesn't know what they're used for yet, but with such demanding trigger conditions, these things must be extraordinary.
There was no point in dwelling on it without any clues, so Han Xiao temporarily put it out of his mind and glanced at the Legend Points reward.
[Legendary Legend Points: Universal Treasure Artisan - You have created Universal Treasure. From this moment on, you are one of the most outstanding craftsmen in the entire universe, entering the ranks of masters. Your creations will be passed down and become treasures of history.]
"Now that I've mastered the core technology, if I build more Sovereign vehicles and sell them for money, it could supplement my family's income."
Thinking of this, Han Xiao couldn't help but smile.
In other words, he's thinking that exchanging his cards for money is absolutely impossible; he has no interest in money right now.
After taking stock of his gains on the attribute panel, Han Xiao then carefully examined the gold-quality Sovereign Mecha.
At this point, it had not yet been painted or decorated. The Sovereign's appearance was a magnificent full-body mechanical battle armor with sharp edges and every detail of the armor was exquisite, exuding the beauty of top-notch mechanical craftsmanship, just like a work of art.
Embedded in his chest was a palm-sized triangular device, Glimmer glowing. This was the Sovereign Mecha's unique accessory, the "Throne." As long as it was removed and placed anywhere, the Sovereign could instantly return to the Throne's location, an effect comparable to High-Dimensional Apocalypse Teleporter.
In terms of performance, it far surpasses orange-grade equipment. As an exclusive equipment for Beyond Grade A mechanics, it provides a 1.075x Mechanical Affinity affinity coefficient, a 35% bonus to Mechanical Force splash range, and various special functions. It is a top-tier mechanic-exclusive mech among Beyond Grade A equipment.
Han Xiao immediately donned the mecha, and like an experienced driver who had just bought a new car, he enthusiastically tested it out, recorded the detailed parameters, and then reluctantly put the mecha away.
"This is truly a wonderful piece of equipment. If the original mechs were like mid-range cars like Volkswagen, then the Sovereign is like luxury cars like Pagani, Koenigsegg, and Bugatti."
Han Xiao was completely satisfied, his face showing an expression of thoroughly enjoying his driving.
After sorting out the spoils, he ordered his mechanical assistant to tidy up the workshop, while he switched his Mechanical Divine Throne to a reclining chair mode.
Lying down, Han Xiao comfortably opened the forum, intending to reward himself with some silly and funny games.
In version 4.0, the player forum underwent a targeted redesign, adding a "Shattered World" section, which functions like a world channel for players.
As more and more people arrive, the Shattered World section has become the most popular channel, surpassing all other sections.
Han Xiao scrolled through the posts for a while and then saw the new video posted by Meat Bun.
The Black Star Army series has released a new episode, which details the Legion's exploits during a version update, and it seems to have broken viewership records again.
He clicked in and took a look. It wasn't that this episode was particularly good, but rather that because a large number of foreign players had joined the Black Star Army, the pool of players they could exploit had expanded, leading to more people learning about the history of the Black Star Army. As a result, the views on previous videos had also skyrocketed.
Starting with version 1.0, Meat Bun began creating a series of videos, which have now accumulated many episodes, allowing new players to follow the series from the beginning and watch the complete rise of the Black Star Army from nothing to something... As a super faction that has developed under the witness of players, it can give players a strong sense of immersion.
Most foreign players who join a legion today are there for profit, with no sense of belonging and no sense of belonging. Understanding a legion's history can gradually build cohesion, and Meat Bun's video series is now playing a huge role, like fertilizer.
Of course, not every player will buy into this, but many veteran players have long had an emotional attachment to Galaxy. Even if they are in other star systems, the Black Star Army is not unfamiliar to them. There will always be a considerable number of people who enjoy immersive experiences and are willing to develop a sense of belonging to the faction.
"Ideological development must be firmly grasped; we need to instill more theoretical knowledge of Black Star's unique characteristics so that players can feel the warmth of home."
As Han Xiao muttered to himself, he browsed through the posts and suddenly saw someone post an exposing the Infinite Financial Group.
The exposed content was clearly a spy mission issued by Sorokin, requiring players to acquire intelligence from the Black Star Army players.
The Infinite Financial Group's secrecy was actually quite good; at least Han Xiao hadn't learned the details through other channels. However, players immediately sold out Sorokin on the forums.
It's hard for me not to want to know...
Han Xiao's lips twitched.
Player forums are unique information exchange platforms where no outsiders can intervene, yet one can browse them exclusively. This unparalleled intelligence advantage is currently enjoyed solely by oneself.
For him, players are a natural, free intelligence network. Even if he sits at home doing nothing, the player forums will continuously provide information about other factions.
Currently, the Infinite Financial Group is the most enthusiastic force to recruit players besides itself. That unlucky Sorokin wanted to spend money to use the characteristics of players to spy for him, but he was completely unaware that he was exposed by the players instead, while Han Xiao didn't even have to pay anything.
The joy of privilege is so simple, unpretentious, and tedious.
Thinking of Sorokin's face, which was etched with scheming and plotting, Han Xiao even felt a little like laughing.
"Why not just let the Legion players take on his missions, sell some information, and make a quick buck off Sorokin? He's a big spender, why not take advantage of him?"
Han Xiao was harboring wicked thoughts when he suddenly caught sight of a highly popular post title, and his gaze immediately sharpened.
Legion players are frequently being camped and killed; who is targeting the Black Star Army?
