Several days later.
[You have mastered [Mechanical Force - Nest]!]
[You have mastered [Compression Ball Innovation - Body Combat]!]
[You have...]
On the workbench in front of him was a compressed ball. Han Xiao controlled the robotic arm and quickly completed the processing. Then he picked up the specially made compressed ball, placed it flat in his palm, and a weak arc of Mechanical Force shot out from his fingers, covering the compressed ball.
Buzz...
The next moment, the compressed sphere suddenly shrank to the size of a cell and was retracted into the body by Mechanical Force.
Han Xiao squinted slightly, feeling an extremely faint sense of pressure. With a thought, he sent a burst of Mechanical Force carrying the microparticle-like special compressed ball out. The compressed ball instantly expanded amidst the electric arcs, landing and transforming into a mechanical warrior shimmering with electricity. It looked as if Han Xiao had directly shot a warrior out of his body.
"This is the ability to transform oneself into a military camp..."
Han Xiao nodded secretly. After several days of learning, he had mastered this skill.
The principles of professional knowledge are the same, and most professional skills are identical. The only slight difference lies in the content involving Secondary Dimension World, which results in the basic strength of the superpower system here being weaker than that of the Explored Universe. Han Xiao doesn't expect these skills to be particularly powerful in themselves; the greatest use of these professional skills is to bring some new directions and new bonuses.
Since the professional knowledge is largely the same, these different main professional skills are only differences in application, so they are not difficult for him to learn. Moreover, with the help of the panel, he has basically learned all the professional skills taught by Jess in the past few days. In his opinion, the most useful one is the ability to transform himself into a barracks.
"The burden is quite heavy. When the mechanical legion is stored inside the body, the maximum health and stamina decrease. After releasing the legion, the maximum health and stamina are restored, but the current health and stamina will not be restored..."
Han Xiao analyzed it secretly.
The mechanism of this ability is similar to that of Apostolization. For a normal Mechanic, even if they release a Legion in battle to bring their maximum strength back to normal, their current health and stamina will not recover in sync, making the Mechanic even more fragile.
However, this ability suits him perfectly. The powerful recovery ability of Health and Mana Conversion and regaining mana when attacked allows him to quickly recover his condition during battle. As a result, the side effects of this "body barracks" are almost negligible, which is equivalent to getting a free boost.
Moreover, given its physical strength, the size of the troops that its main barracks can carry far exceeds that of a normal mechanic...
--Indeed, increasing the Mechanic's durability is the right development path!
Jess, watching Han Xiao test his abilities, had a subtle expression on his face and couldn't help but speak up:
"You've already learned it?"
"Isn't this simple?" Han Xiao said dismissively.
"Is that so...?"
Jess's face twitched.
He thought he wouldn't be surprised anymore, but Han Xiao's incredible learning speed stirred up his usually calm mind.
Did I just encounter a genius among geniuses, or have the learning abilities of subsequent mechanics in each Universe Iteration evolved to this level...?
Moreover, the two had sparred a little over the past few days, and Jess had never seen a mechanic with this style before.
In his Universe Iteration, due to the lack of Secondary Dimension, the Mechanic's strength is not as overpowered. Most of the time, she is positioned as a fragile damage dealer, and she also needs to do logistics and set up the field in advance.
But this was the first time he had ever seen a mechanic like Han Xiao, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled...
Why is this guy even more resilient than a martial artist?
Is pursuing a strong physique already the mainstream development path for subsequent iterations of the Mechanic class?
It's true that the longer you live, the more you see...
Han Xiao, of course, was unaware of Jess's inner thoughts. After testing the new ability for a while, he turned and asked:
"Isn't it time to pass on the skills you've accumulated to me?"
Upon hearing this, Jess composed himself, tapped a virtual screen, and after a few simple operations, a dense list of technical projects quickly appeared on the screen.
"These are the technical documents I've compiled. You can copy them. I'll send you the rest when you're almost finished with the task."
Han Xiao glanced at it and was secretly delighted.
Compared to professional skills, these technical documents are the real highlight, representing countless new blueprints!
Moreover, it's not just Jess's own research projects. In thousands of cycles, Jess has been a wanted criminal at least nine hundred times. Relying on the cycle Restart, he boldly invaded the databases of advanced civilizations, learning the advanced technologies that these civilizations had invested countless hours, energy, and wealth in developing. His foundation is astonishing, and now Jess is offering them up for trade without hesitation.
Han Xiao quickly copied it using his own device. Although it was only a part, it was already a huge technological treasure trove, enough for a long time to study.
Among them are many gold-tier blueprints, which, when converted, means saving a significant amount of contribution points from the three Three Universal Civilizations Three Universal Civilizations, eliminating the need to continue working for them in exchange for blueprints.
Once they acquire the remaining technology and complete the research, their own resources will allow them to overtake Old Manison and leave him far behind.
"By the way, can you get the professional knowledge for the other four superpower systems here?" Han Xiao asked.
"I've collected this kind of stuff before, but there's a system conflict, and I can't learn how to use it, so I didn't memorize it. I could only store it in the machine, and after a Restart, the data is naturally gone." Jess shook his head. "But if you want it, I can get it for you."
With multiple Restart in a loop, Jess was like a living strategy guide; it posed no challenge for him.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Han Xiao nodded.
If one were to acquire professional knowledge across all systems here, one could directly obtain complete professional knowledge across all five systems without the knowledge of the Three Universal Civilizations. Although it lacks Secondary Dimension, its value is still immense.
Unlike myself, I don't have someone to teach me. I wonder if others can grasp other professional skills on their own through subtle differences in knowledge content.
At this moment, Jess slowly said, "I've given you all the information I can. Now it's your turn to help me. Do you have a plan?"
Upon hearing this, Han Xiao nodded.
"I have some ideas. I plan to use the resources of the Eye of Insight to build a mechanical legion to bolster our combat strength first..."
Hacking into the Super Security Department's warehouse is no easy task, and the dimensional consciousness also has several clones. The current force is insufficient, so Han Xiao plans to spend some time expanding the force.
Because this Secondary Dimension is Information State phantom, these mechanical units built with materials from the Eye of Insight cannot be taken away. They are a one-time legion, created solely for this mission, so there is no concern about combat losses.
On the other side, Explored Universe and Shattered World.
With the fourth professional league opening ceremony less than ten days away, countless foreign players who had just joined the legion in this version were frantically searching for Han Xiao's figure.
After several leagues, Black Star Character Card have already proven their dominance. With their combination of tankiness and damage output, they are the envy of countless foreign players. Unfortunately, due to geographical reasons, they could not access Black Star in previous versions and therefore could not burn character cards. Thus, this became the exclusive trump card for Huaxia players.
But version 4.0 is different. Players from all over the world gather in one star field, and countless foreigners flock to the Black Star Army. Now their dreams have finally come true, and they also have the opportunity to obtain Black Star character cards.
However, at this critical juncture, Black Star went on a business trip and could not be found!
They inquired countless times, but all their efforts were in vain. Countless newcomers in the legion were extremely frustrated. With the date of the professional league approaching day by day, they had no choice but to change the target for their character cards.
Although the effect was good, many people felt regretful that they couldn't use the Black Star Character Card even once, feeling that the Blank Character Card they had painstakingly collected hadn't been able to realize their full value.
Compared to previous leagues, the format of this league has not changed much, except for the addition of a few more entertainment-oriented matches. Amidst the eager anticipation of players, the fourth professional league has officially kicked off.
Compared to previous editions, this year's tournament was much more competitive. No club wanted to see any country achieve a three-peat, and Huaxia, already a two-time champion, faced even more Sniping.
It's not just clubs from other countries; the past achievements of various Huaxia clubs have earned them a huge following. During matches, these enthusiastic fans love to Pursuit their favorite players, ostensibly to get interaction...
Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the conference room of the Eye of Insight, Han Xiao, Kasuyi, and Jess gathered together.
"Black Star, shall we make our move?" Kasuyi asked, turning his head.
"Yes, I've expanded the legion's size during this time, and it's basically enough. There's no need to delay any longer."
Han Xiao nodded.
For the past few months, he has been using the resources of the Eye of Insight to maximize the troop production efficiency of [Billions of Mechanic Emperor - Manison] by 50 times. A few days ago, the troop size finally reached the storage limit of the main barracks, and he stopped production.
"Very well, let's resolve this matter quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications. Moreover, the opportunity for my Divine Transformation will likely come from devouring the fragments of source energy left after the destruction of this Secondary Dimension," Kasuyi said.
He hasn't been idle these past few months, constantly sensing the opportunity for Divine Transformation, and has made some progress.
No wonder the object of his senses was the entire Secondary Dimension. Kasuyi discovered that the key was most likely the source energy fragments of the dimensional core, and thus he became even more concerned about breaking this cycle of spacetime.
Han Xiao opened a map, which showed the location and terrain of the Super Security Department's warehouse. This was the result of Jess's reconnaissance in previous cycles.
"The Super Security Department's warehouse is located within headquarters, which houses many Beyond Grade A operators on standby, as well as a large military force. A direct assault would have an extremely low success rate. Our primary mission is infiltration... The Heaven-Shielding Device can only block Positioning Star Map; normal detection methods are still effective. Therefore, we need another infiltration plan, and we need Jess's help."
Upon hearing this, Jess spoke up:
"I've joined the Super Security Department multiple times, possessing most of their access codes and access codes, and I know their activity patterns. I can forge your information to help you infiltrate; that's how I've helped outsiders before, but there's a risk of exposure..."
The Super Security Department was heavily fortified, but it couldn't withstand Jess's repeated attempts to Restart. He was like a player who memorized the layout; what seemed like an impregnable fortress to ordinary people was full of flaws in his eyes.
Han Xiao continued, "This time, we won't use that method. The warehouse has been shrouded by a space stabilization device, rendering normal teleportation ineffective. However, if we can find a way to get the Super Security Department to send the Sovereign Mecha's teleportation beacon, the ' Throne, ' into the warehouse, we can land directly."
"Great, let's get straight to the point!" Kasuyi's eyes lit up; he liked this straightforward approach.
Jess explained, "Everything that comes into the warehouse West Capital quarantined and screened to remove dangerous or useless items. The screening process is done both intelligently and manually, and is repeated three times."
However, there are exceptions. If the item has received authorization from the department head or director, it can be temporarily stored in the outermost warehouse without screening. If it is a secret order from a high-ranking member of the Federation of All Stars, it can be stored directly in the deeper part of the warehouse.
"So you're planning to forge the authority of the Super Security Department's leadership?"
"Kasuyi asked."
Jess shook his head.
"No need. During my previous cycles, I kidnapped many high-ranking Federation of All Stars. Although I was eventually killed, I gained access to their authority and stored it in my mind. Forging it wouldn't be difficult. I can send the Throne deep into the warehouse, and the vessel of the dimensional consciousness is also inside."
Kasuyi: "..."
Being able to Restart really means you can do whatever you want, huh? Awesome, awesome.
Jess said slowly:
"Each item in the warehouse is stored separately, and I will send you the warehouse number where the carrier is located later."
Once you teleport in, it will trigger an alarm, and the powerful individuals remaining at headquarters will come to surround and annihilate you. I have a technology here that can temporarily interfere with the Information State phantoms of the spacetime loop, causing spacetime to slow down or even freeze, but the duration is limited and can only hold off these operators for a short while.
You need to hurry and destroy the core of the dimensional consciousness. Don't get entangled with its clones. Once its program collapses, the Information State Conversion Technology of the World Restart Plan will terminate, and this illusion of the cyclical spacetime will collapse in a chain reaction.
Han Xiao nodded and added:
"To minimize resistance, we need to reveal ourselves elsewhere before teleporting, deactivate the Heaven-Shielding Device, and allow the Super Security Department to track us using Positioning Star Map. This will lure away a group of the Super Security Department agents, creating a diversionary tactic."
"Yes," Kasuyi agreed.
The three discussed and negotiated further, finalized the details, and then began to act separately.
