Of these three random feats, the most practical on the surface should be [Frost Resistance], as its effect is more targeted. However, in terms of application, Han Xiao felt that [Call of the Wild] had a wider range of uses.
Beast-type monsters are a very large subcategory of monsters. Looking across the Galaxy, apart from planets that have undergone extremely extensive modification or are extremely barren, other planets are inhabited by beasts to varying degrees. Beasts are a very important link in the food chain. Various beast creatures inhabit the land and the sea, and some powerful groups even live directly in the cosmic environment. Those terrifying radiation, particle streams, Psionic Energy dust, and Psionic Undercurrent cannot harm them. These groups are bosses that will only appear many versions later.
As for [Duplicate Chanting], this is a Mage Class specialty. Casting and chanting describe magical skills, which is useless to him as a mechanic. The effect of double casting will not be applied to skills other than magic. If it weren't for the random appearance, Han Xiao would not have come into contact with other specializations.
After thinking it over, Han Xiao finally chose [Call of the Wild]. Although his charm was a bit low, this feat would still be quite useful.
In version 2.0, Planet Aquamarine was a land of monsters and wild beasts, and Han Xiao had a premonition that [Call of the Wild] would come in handy.
His plan was to leave Planet Aquamarine before version 1.0 ended, but he had a theory: the main storyline of version 2.0 was called "[Mutation Disaster]," a mutated virus from space that caused mutations in life on multiple planets, including Planet Aquamarine. The antidote was developed by an advanced civilization, and Han Xiao thought that he might be able to return with the antidote in the future, ending the Planet Aquamarine 2.0 storyline ahead of schedule.
Having witnessed the massive dissemination of information about the Germinal before the public beta, Han Xiao knew that significantly influencing the main storyline would bring him numerous benefits.
This was merely a blueprint for the future; Han Xiao remained focused on the events at hand.
The unexpected saga surrounding Overmela has come to an end, and the final result is satisfactory.
Not only did he not suffer any losses, but he also gained a lot of benefits. Although he spent a few days in Overmela, which slowed down his itinerary, who would complain about having more side quests? The more side quests there are, the more benefits there are.
Anyway, the players are there, working diligently and conscientiously, without complaining or threatening to commit suicide. It doesn't matter when they cut the losses.
The next morning, Han Xiao left Overmela, and all the senior executives came to see him off.
The chill of the North seemed to seep into the hearts of the Overmela leadership, who all wrapped themselves tightly in their fur coats.
Black Phantom nominally became one of them. This outsider became the family's strongest fighting force, and the higher-ups were willing to curry favor with him, so they also gave Han Xiao an off-road vehicle for transportation.
All of Xiao Faction's people arrived, showing great courtesy and respect, and deliberately trying to appear close. The younger generation kept calling him "godfather" and "adoptive father." Other factions felt both contempt and envy. If they could get Black Phantom's support, they would be willing to do the same. They all sighed inwardly that Xiao Jin had seized the initiative.
Xiao Jin, however, had mixed feelings. He exchanged a glance with Han Xiao and nodded slightly; only the two of them knew the true nature of the deal behind it.
Although he got the result he wanted, Xiao Jin felt somewhat bitter.
Han Xiao waved his hand, ignoring their formalities, and drove his SUV through the snowstorm, speeding away in the distance.
He's finally gone.
The tense bodies of the Overmela executives relaxed, feeling as if a huge weight had finally been lifted from their hearts, and their breathing became much easier.
Not far away, players from the Bamboo Rain Guild cheered with joy; their quest had finally been completed.
"The Black Phantom has uncovered the True Culprit and caused a huge change in the landscape of Overmela. As his accomplice, you witnessed all of this. Bonus reward: 15,000 experience points."
The experience gained from this quest is very rewarding for players at this stage, and the Bamboo Rain Guild is quite satisfied.
"By the way, Xuanxuan, didn't you record some footage of Black Phantom?" the guild leader Bamboo Rain Drifting Fragrance, asked.
Bamboo Rain Xuanxuan said proudly, "I've already sold it! I mailed it to the Galaxy Times, and they paid me."
Mecha, a man's romance.
The background of "Galaxy" has always led many players to speculate about various combat systems. Mechs are a very popular topic, and various works about mechs have cultivated countless fans. Many players dream of one day being able to fight in mechs. Among the five main classes, only the Mechanic Class fits the speculation, but since the open beta, no NPCs have been seen piloting mechs.
Han Xiao was the first person to showcase the mecha, unintentionally creating another "first."
The subsequent impact on players will only become apparent after the latest issue of the Galaxy Times airs, but before that, local forces have already reacted.
When Han Xiao killed Lune and Vanessa, he used a mecha, which was recorded by the people of Overmela and leaked to the Dark Net, causing a huge uproar among various factions.
Everyone could see that the Viper Mod was powerful and a very mature mech. Black Phantom was a mechanic, and this was undoubtedly something he created himself, surpassing the experimental works of some major powers in their military laboratories.
Han Xiao rose to fame as an assassin, but now he has shocked various forces once again by revealing his identity as a mechanic, prompting these forces to hastily update his records.
At the same time, many forces coveted his mech.
Germinal is one of them!
"This is a mature individual combat suit mecha. If we can master it, our soldiers' strength will increase significantly, and our chances of winning this war will be much greater."
At Andia's headquarters, the leader and Cerberus were watching a short battle video on a large screen. Cerberus's eyes were gleaming with fanaticism.
The leader, however, thought of something else, "The Louis Research Institute incident—the person acting under our name was Black Phantom, and it was this mech."
"During the evacuation operation in the Southern Continent, Black Phantom also intervened; he considers us his enemies."
"He's a tough guy." The leader frowned. "His mech is very important to us, but unfortunately, we don't have enough combat power on other continents. Moreover, he's elusive and difficult to deal with. Unless the organization's top executives intervene, we're no match for him."
The leader didn't want to give up Black Phantom's mechs easily, but reason told him that once the war started, he wouldn't have a chance to deal with Black Phantom unless Black Phantom recklessly ran to the battlefield.
The chances were slim, the leader shook his head.
Two days later, Han Xiao found a Dark Net stronghold in the North Continent, accepted the bounty mission from Hidden Demon, and only after receiving the notification on the panel did he hand over Hidden Demon.
Interestingly, the person in charge of the outpost was confused.
"Lord Black Phantom, where is the Hidden Demon you spoke of?"
Han Xiao pointed to an open space at his feet, "Right here."
The person in charge wiped away cold sweat, "I... I can't see it."
Han Xiao used more than a dozen methods of torture to prove the existence of the Hidden Demon. After the Hidden Demon, covered in wounds and mentally broken, was taken in, the bounty mission was completed.
"Two hundred thousand experience points and one hundred and fifty thousand Aquamarine Dollar." He made a fortune using the Hidden Demon. Although Han Xiao was wealthy, he wouldn't miss any opportunity to make money. Even a small amount is still money, just like last-hitting minions—it adds up.
The highest-ranked player on the leaderboard reached level 20 and was stuck on the advancement quest. At this time, Han Xiao also arrived at the last beginner village in the North Continent and caught the last chance to gain experience.
Here, Han Xiao found himself more popular, especially among male players, who surrounded him like... well, wrong word, a sea of people.
What's the name of your mech?
Are you selling the mecha?
This was the most frequently asked question. Han Xiao glanced at the forum and saw that the Galaxy Times had released a video of him fighting in a mecha.
This issue of the Galaxy Times was rather dull, but this video became the highlight and climax. The originally sparse bullet comments erupted like an geyser, covering the entire screen, densely packed, perfectly illustrating what it means to have an ocean of people.
No wonder the players are excited.
Han Xiao understood; if it were him when he was a newbie, he would also be envious when he saw mechas.
The most direct impact was that players' enthusiasm for the Mechanic Class surged again, and more people came to the starting village to change jobs, which boosted its sales.
The official statistics will be released after the public beta has been running for a while. Han Xiao is looking forward to seeing the proportion of players in the five main professions. In his previous life, the proportion of Mechanic Class was in the single digits. Under the influence of his big butterfly, this time it will be at least twice as high as in his previous life.
The more Mechanic Class enthusiasts Han Xiao has, the brighter his future business prospects will be.
Dudu--
The phone suddenly rang.
Han Xiao glanced at his phone and saw a text message from Hao Tian. He had completed the task; he was the first among all the high-level players who accepted the [New Era--Origin] splitting task to finish!
"Impressive, no wonder you're a top-tier player." Han Xiao's eyes lit up. He hadn't even left the North Continent yet, Hao Tian had already completed the mission. You know, those mischievous guys in the Western Continent who had accepted the mission long ago still hadn't finished it.
Hao Tian accepted the mission "[The End of the One Clinging to Life]", which required him to obtain "[Sully-485 File]". The text message contained the entire process of Hao Tian completing the mission and also sent over the contents of the file.
