"The Hesla border?" Gu Hui tapped the table and said in a deep voice, "We need to contact the Hesla Military Intelligence Department first before we can decide whether to send troops on an expedition."
"Then I'll await good news."
Han Xiao nodded and left the meeting room.
Feng Jun was already waiting outside the door. As soon as they met, he complained, "You've really put me in a bad position this time! Why didn't you notify me first when you encountered assassins? I got a scolding from my superiors because of it."
"You can't help anyway, why would I notify you?" Han Xiao asked, looking surprised.
Feng Jun felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a bowl of cockroaches, and angrily said, "We may be familiar with each other, but if you insult me, I will get angry!"
Han Xiao smiled enigmatically. "Perhaps I should discuss with the bureau chief how my position was exposed."
Feng Jun: "Oh, hehehehehe, you rascal, how could I be angry with you?"
"What a disgrace." Han Xiao rolled his eyes.
With Feng Jun bowing and scraping as he saw him off, Han Xiao left headquarters and returned to the repair shop.
Han Xiao had long had the idea of creating a disguise mask. Based on his understanding of the Germinal forces, he knew that he could not hide his identity forever. Once his position was exposed, he would inevitably be dealt with Thunder. The disguise mask was one of the ways he had left himself a way out.
Stardragon is likely to agree to this operation, then Han Xiao needs to upgrade his combat equipment. His Light Power Arm and Folding War Blade are no longer sufficient to keep up with the strength of the enemies he will be facing. Moreover, since this operation is outside the country's borders, Han Xiao feels that he needs a dedicated vehicle, preferably one that he can ride with his team.
Speaking of the squad, Zhang Wei's Warrior Armor desperately needs improvement.
That's a huge project.
Han Xiao rubbed his temples, quickly searching through his vast memory for a set of blueprints best suited to his current situation, thinking to himself, "Looks like I'm going to have to learn a ton of things this time."
Knocking on Old Man Lü's door, Old Man Lü found him happily munching on spicy chicken feet with his wine, his hands greasy. Old Man Lü glanced at Han Xiao and said, "You brat, what are you doing here?"
I would like to borrow a book on mechanical knowledge.
Han Xiao turned to look at the bookshelves that covered an entire wall.
He had expected Old Man Lü to make excuses like last time, but to his surprise, Old Man Lü agreed immediately, gesturing towards the bookshelf, "The key is in the drawer, take whatever you want, just remember to return it after you're done reading."
Han Xiao was shocked. "You actually agreed?"
Our relationship doesn't seem that close!
Old Man Lü put down the chicken feet and hummed, "Consider this my way of thanking you."
"Thank you?" Han Xiao frowned, uncertainly asking, "Is this just another one of your tricks to sell your granddaughter?"
Old Man Lü's face stiffened, utterly frustrated. "What's wrong with my granddaughter? Why can't you like her?"
However, Old Man Lü wasn't grateful to Han Xiao for that reason. Old Man Gao had told him that Han Xiao had been Assassination before, but he had deliberately left the repair shop to face the enemy, without Implicated Lü Qian. That was the real reason for Old Man Lü's gratitude. After this incident, Old Man Lü found Han Xiao much more agreeable.
"Not bad, kid."
Old Man Lü patted Han Xiao on the shoulder with a satisfied smile, then walked out, leaving him in the room to read as he pleased, clearly showing his trust in him.
Han Xiao glanced at the oily handprint on his shoulder, his lips twitching. "Old man."
He took out his key, opened the bookshelf, and rows of Basic Knowledge books came into view. Han Xiao took out the seven he needed and brought them back to his room.
Take a deep breath, get yourself in the right mindset, and select all of them to study!
[Would you like to spend 1 potential point to learn the energy branch [Basic Energy Theory]?]
[... Energy branch [Basic Biochemistry]?]
[... energy branch [Basic Optics]?]
"Yes!"
A flood of knowledge rushed into his mind, making his brain feel like it was about to explode. It took him a while to recover. Han Xiao gritted his teeth and picked up the rest of the knowledge books.
[... Controlling the branch [Basic Electromagnetic Principles]?]
[... the control branch [Basic Principles of Mechanics]?]
[... Manipulation Branch [Basic Virtual Electronics]?]
[... Control branch [Basic Wide-Area Detection]?]
Seven Basic Knowledge!
That's not all!
[Basic Energy Theory] Upgraded to level 3!
[Basic Electromagnetic Principles] Upgraded to level 2!
[Basic Virtual Electronics] Upgraded to level 2!
[Basic Principles of Mechanics] Upgraded to level 2
My [Basic Mechanical Engineering] skill, which I already knew, has been upgraded from level 2 to level 4!
[Basic Weaponry] Upgraded to level 3!
[Complete Compendium of Basic Materials] Upgraded to level 3!
[Basic Assembly] Upgraded to level 2!
[Advanced Material Synthesis] Upgraded to level 2!
Potential points were spent faster than water could flow. Han Xiao originally had twenty-one potential points, but this frantic learning spree used up all twenty of them!
Han Xiao can guarantee that all the knowledge he learns can be integrated into powerful blueprints without any waste, but even so, it still costs him a lot of potential points.
[You have learned the skill [Basic Programming]]
[You have learned the skill [Energy–Electromagnetic Enhancement]!]
Basic Programming, derived from [Basic Virtual Electronics], is a prerequisite skill for manufacturing various chips and programs. Like Basic Assembly and Basic Enhancement Modification, it is a core competency of mechanics.
Energy–Electromagnetic Enhancement is an ability unlocked by learning the Energy branch after awakening the Magnetic attribute in the Mechanic Class. It enhances the effect of the Strength-Magnetic attribute, increasing the speed of creating machinery and the power of using machinery, by 3% per level. It is also a passive skill.
[Energy Refinement Method] has been practiced a total of 34 times, which is 72 more Qi than the previous 10 times. However, the Qi has not yet reached the LV5 standard.
The panel shows 380,000 experience points, which is the reward for mass-producing High Combustion Bullet. I can earn 20,000 to 30,000 experience points every day. Not to mention the money, I have accumulated 3.6 million Aquamarine Dollar so far, which is enough to cover my event funds.
First, merge the disguise blueprints!
Han Xiao invested several thousand experience points to upgrade his [Basic Programming] skill to Level 3.
[Perform knowledge fusion (Basic Biochemistry lv1, Basic Optics lv1, Complete Compendium of Basic Materials lv3, Basic Virtual Electronics lv2)? This fusion will consume 20,000 experience points!]
Knowledge fusion is not limited to two pieces of knowledge. Each additional piece of Basic Knowledge increases the cost by 5,000 experience points. Multiple fusions double this cost. For example, fusion of this combination again will cost 40,000 experience points.
In the early stages, Mechanic Class players typically only fuse two knowledge points. The chances of getting a blueprint by combining more than two knowledge points are not high.
Han Xiao naturally had no such concerns. He was familiar with the distribution of these combinations and could accurately integrate them to create the required blueprints.
[Integration successful! Congratulations on developing the [Intelligent Simulation Optical Mask]!]
Han Xiao let out a breath. This thing was definitely a good one. It first appeared in version 3.0, when a player accidentally fused this blueprint. First of all, the strict combination of the four knowledge points was hard to come by, spanning three branches. Secondly, the four knowledge levels had to reach his current standard. Thirdly, there were prerequisites for skills and attributes, requiring Intermediate Mechanical Affinity, 55 intelligence points, and Basic Programming level 3. Finally, it had to be the mechanic route.
Of course, value is relative, and the effect of this drawing is worth the stringent conditions.
