Han Xiao calmed himself down and looked at the new abilities brought by the job change.
[You have gained the feat [Mechanical Truth Mastery]!]
[You have mastered the skill [Maximum Energy Output]!]
You have learned the skill [Logic Program Enhancement]!
[You have mastered the skill [Deep Data Implantation]!]
[Your [Virtual Technology Specialization] skill is enhanced!]
[Your skill [Intelligent Defense Enhancement] is now stronger!]
[Your skill [Intrusion Computation Enhancement] is now stronger!]
[Your skill [Quantum Network Matrix] is enhanced!]
That's right, those are the abilities... Han Xiao nodded to himself.
After choosing the Virtual Technology Specialization, each subsequent job change will enhance the specialization's capabilities. Several key abilities of the virtual mechanic will be strengthened, and two new virtual technology skills will be granted.
[Logic Program Enhancement] has the effect of providing multiple upgrades to the self-created intelligence, improving computational efficiency.
In virtual-level attack and defense, intelligence is an important aid; the higher the intelligence level, the higher the additional success rate.
This skill can be used to enhance Phillip. After all, Resta is an independent life form, and Phillip is still the most loyal and lovable, with a pleasant voice.
[Deep Data Implantation] enhances the ability of stealthy intrusion. Instead of attacking firewalls, it spends time finding weaknesses and gaps to quietly send disguised data packets into the target's intelligent program without alerting the alarm. In short, it plays dirty tricks.
This capability is not very useful in direct combat because it takes a long time, but it is extremely suitable for missions of infiltration, Detection, and espionage. It allows data packets to be deeply embedded in the enemy's territory, like a probe that penetrates the ocean floor to detect the movement of "ocean currents" and filter out useful intelligence, or it can also be used as a time bomb.
At the same time, it can even infiltrate the underlying data and implant new logic into the target's intelligent program, secretly turning them against their cause.
In addition to the improvement in specialized skills, this job change also grants two important abilities.
The Truth Mechanic is known for its powerful attack capabilities, characterized by the elite formation of mechanical warriors and the enhanced attributes of its mechanical creations.
[Mechanical Truth Mastery] is the core specialty of the Truth Mechanic. By touching the truth of mechanics and integrating it into the creation process, the effect is to comprehensively enhance the armor value, defense, energy core, weapon power, range and other attributes of mechanical creations.
The increase in each attribute ranges from 15% to 40%. In summary, the increase in the strength of a single mechanical creation is quite considerable, and the mechanic's manufacturing ability increases dramatically.
[Maximum Energy Output] Increases the output efficiency of the energy core, which means widening the opening of the container to make the water flow faster.
The effect is to additionally increase the weapon's power based on the energy level; the higher the energy level used, the greater the attack power bonus.
According to Han Xiao's experience, using a cold nuclear reactor can increase attack power by about 11% on top of the original weapon, while using Psionic Energy can increase it by 25% to 30%.
Psionic Energy itself can bring a higher level of power, and with the addition of these two abilities, it is enough to increase one's destructive power by several levels.
"The improvement from this job change is greater than the last one. The basic attributes of mechanical creations are extremely important. Even a slight increase can be amplified by my Mechanical Force bonus. The Truth Mechanic is a watershed moment. With such a significant increase in mechanical attributes, coupled with my Mechanical Force enhancement, it means that a mechanical legion of the same size will be several times more powerful after the job change than before!"
Han Xiao looked satisfied. After the job change, the Mechanical Legion's threat to the Calamity Grade had undoubtedly increased dramatically, and his own combat power had been elevated as a result.
As you progress to the advanced stages of your main profession, the benefits of changing jobs will become increasingly greater. The current job level cap is 25, which is 5 levels higher than the level limit for advancement, meaning that changing jobs has become more difficult than advancing.
With ample experience, Han Xiao didn't hesitate and immediately leveled up several new skills to the maximum level. Then, he invested experience and leveled up to 180 in one go.
[[Truth Mechanic] upgraded to Lv10, Strength +210, Agility +4, Endurance +4, Intelligence +10, you gain 7 free attribute points and 1 potential point.]
The free attribute is still added to intelligence.
The leveling up of his character and skills gave Han Xiao a total of 13 potential points. He upgraded a few blueprints to accumulate a few more points, and with his original savings, Han Xiao directly upgraded the advanced knowledge [Exotic Energy] to Lv4. Each level consumes 12 potential points, and his potential points were instantly exhausted.
The higher the core knowledge level, the better, as it relates to the attributes of rebuilding the mechanical legion. This is potential points that will be spent sooner or later, so Han Xiao didn't hesitate at all. Anyway, he has a lot of experience now, and he can get potential points as long as he upgrades the blueprints. Although the cost of three times is painful, he can still afford it.
With the total level reaching 180, it's time to advance again, and the advancement quest arrives as scheduled.
[Level 180 Advanced Quest [Trial of the Strong]: Push yourself to your limits in battle and experience a sublimation of your life level]
[Task requirement: Obtain 50 trial points, currently 0/50]
[Trial points are obtained by defeating opponents who are also superhumans of the same rank. Each victory grants 2 trial points, with a maximum of 4 points from the same opponent. If the opponent is 5 levels lower than you, you will not receive trial points; if the opponent is 20 levels higher than you, you will receive 6 trial points. The same target cannot be defeated repeatedly.]
Han Xiao's face immediately lit up with joy.
When he was level 60, he triggered a trial-type advanced quest. These quests were not difficult and did not hinder his leveling speed.
The mission requires you to deal with a superhuman of the same level, also known as the Calamity Grade. After defeating them, you will receive trial points, which means that you can spar with them or not; you don't have to kill them.
This quest is a bit troublesome for players because they have to search all over the world for Calamity Grade NPCs. Even if they propose a duel, they have to see if the other party wants to fight them. If they attack directly, they will anger the other party's faction.
Players spend most of their time finding opponents, and sometimes they can't even win, but for Han Xiao, that's no problem at all.
With his connections in the Shattered Star Ring, finding someone to spar with would be too easy for him.
The Black Star Army alone has two Grade A combatants. Given Lagi's personality, he'll probably hold back, so 6 points should be a sure thing. It's a pity that Reynold's level is much lower than his, otherwise he could get 4 points.
"I'm currently level 180, which isn't too high for A Tier character, so finding opponents is still quite easy..."
Han Xiao pondered.
Level 180 is the crucial moment for the fourth racial ascension. He has consumed a lot of essence potions from Void creatures, and even a Void Archduke's core. This time, he should be able to randomly get a very powerful evolution option.
The advanced mission wasn't difficult, so Han Xiao wasn't in a hurry. If he wanted to find someone to spar with, he first needed to rebuild the mechanical legion, which was his main source of combat power.
After looking at the new abilities for a while, Han Xiao opened the attribute panel and checked his own attributes.
[Total Level: 180]
[Main Occupation: Mechanic Class]
[Race: Chaos Observer) ]
[Attributes: Strength 306, Agility 674, Stamina 670, Intelligence 2126, Mysticism 263, Charisma 105, Luck 1]
[Free attribute points: 0]
[Potential Points: 0]
[Health Points: 125390]
[Stamina: 101620]
[Stamina: 19680 [Lv11]]
[Lv11 Total Strength Bonus: Strength +111, Agility +158, Stamina +174, Intelligence +204, Mysticism +129, Maximum Stamina +21220, Mechanical Affinity +262% (Super Electromagnetic Induction)]
[Energy Level: 17810]
[Rank: A]
[Grade A Bonus: Stamina +10, all resistances +8%, highest attribute +10%, other attributes +5%, additional 30 free attribute points, additional 5 potential points]
[You're not far from reaching A+ level... although your actual combat strength is already comparable to some A+ superhumans.]
After acquiring the Advanced Tenacity feat, Han Xiao's energy level reached around 16,000. With ten consecutive level increases and the new abilities gained from the job change, his energy level rating surged again.
"Once I complete the advancement quest, I'll have enough experience to level up directly to the maximum level of Truth Mechanic, which is 195. With the boost from racial ascension, I should be able to reach an A+ level."
Han Xiao thought to himself.
He instructed Melos and others to oversee the Black Star Army's operations, while he went into seclusion to rebuild the Mechanical Legion, eager to see just how powerful the Mechanical Legion he had created after his class change would be.
The first step in the reconstruction is to refine new energy sources and build a Psionic Energy reactor.
Psionic Energy is an extremely unstable high-level energy. Generally speaking, only star cluster-level civilizations would study Psionic Energy because Psionic Energy carries a high risk. If a civilization with immature technology were to conduct research on it rashly, Psionic Energy were to go out of control, a surface civilization might perish as a result.
Historically, the first civilization to discover Psionic Energy was the Federation of Light. In scientific research, the Federation of Light has always been at the forefront of the times. Long before the First Ones Beyond Grade A beings appeared, Psionic Energy had already been used on a large scale in the wars between the Three Universal Civilizations.
The earliest discovery of Psionic Energy was in a spacetime dimension research project in the Federation of Light. During an experiment on the collapse of a secondary space, it was accidentally discovered that a large amount of matter was transformed into a special energy during the collapse and pulverization process, which is Psionic Energy.
Through long-term research, the Three Universal Civilizations gradually gained a clearer understanding of Psionic Energy.
This is an extremely high level of energy, originating from the collapse of secondary space. It can assimilate most forms of energy in the surrounding environment, such as flames and electricity, all of which are converted into Psionic Energy and condensed together. The assimilation process results in very low loss, and this reaction is called "Psionic Energy Expansion."
Because space collapse is too costly to be widely adopted, the Three Universal Civilizations extracted Primal Psionic Energy particles from space collapse experiments based on this characteristic. They developed a storage technology to "sleep" the Primal Psionic Energy particles, thus curbing the natural Psionic Energy Expansion, and then began to try large-scale application.
There were failures during the experiment. Once the Psionic Energy gets out of control and is exposed to the outside world, it will become a Black Hole- like entity, constantly absorbing all forms of energy around it. All the converted energy will become Psionic Energy, causing the Psionic Energy Expansion to expand exponentially and begin to produce a radioactive reaction called "Psionic Energy Pollution". When the Primal Psionic Energy particles decay to the critical point, a big bang will occur. A single Primal Psionic Energy particle can almost level half a planet and destroy surface civilization.
After a long period of research on Psionic Energy, the Three Universal Civilizations racked their brains and finally developed a highly efficient and controllable Psionic Energy reactor, which was far more efficient than nuclear fusion. However, due to fear of the uncontrolled power of Psionic Energy, it was not used on a large scale in the early stages.
After in-depth research, the Three Universal Civilizations discovered another characteristic of Psionic Energy: it can not only be assimilated, but also Psionic Energy into various forms of energy. Because Psionic Energy Psionic Energy is born from spatial collapse, some people believe that it is the initial or final form of energy, that is, a kind of "universal energy".
Research on Psionic Energy has continued to this day, with thousands of schools of thought and hypotheses. The Three Universal Civilizations have repeatedly improved the methods of collection and refining. Today, Psionic Energy has become a highly efficient and controllable advanced energy source and an essential technology for Mechanic Class students.
As a Calamity Grade Mechanic, Han Xiao has acquired the ability to safely extract Primal Psionic Energy particles after learning [Exotic Energy].
