"Silvers?"
In the machinery modification room, Han Xiao received Herlous' message and was surprised. He turned off the buzzing lathe, and the room became quiet. The smell of hot metal floated in the air.
He knew the origin of the Silvers. They were an advanced civilization in the Sea of Star Spirits. The Sea of Star Spirits was a prosperous Star Field, located in the Radiant Federation's territory. There were many advanced civilizations living in peace with each other, and the environment was safe. It was completely different from the Shattered Star Ring.
The Silvers had a long history, and this kind of Universe Noble rarely came to the Shattered Star Ring. Han Xiao really did not know what was there to see in the Shattered Star Ring. In terms of scenery and environment, the Sea of Star Spirits was miles ahead of the Shattered Star Ring. In terms of danger, the Shattered Star Ring was miles ahead of the Sea of Star Spirits. Did these Silvers come here just for excitement?
Now that their companions were captured as slaves, it was indeed exciting.
The Silvers' reproductive ability was relatively weak, and their population was not large. The evolution of their race was relatively high, and to some organizations, the genes of a highly evolved race were a treasure trove that contained the accumulated bloodline power of a long race for generations. The so-called Universe Nobles had many characteristics, and one of them was that they were rare. The Silvers could be sold for a good price in the slave market, so it was no wonder that the scavengers would take the risk.
"Black Star, the Silvers are very generous. They are recruiting mercenaries. This is a good opportunity to make money," Herlous said in a deep voice. He had nothing to do in the past few days, and he was anxious to make money, so he contacted Han Xiao immediately.
Han Xiao shook his head. "The Silvers are very generous, but we can't earn this money. Large mercenary groups like the Ring Alliance Army will definitely fight for this opportunity. They are very strong, and the Silvers have recruited a large group. We won't have a chance."
"But we should at least give it a try. There will be a chance."
The mercenary industry was full of competition. The large mercenary groups at the top could get the best jobs, and the reputation they accumulated made the employers feel assured. Missions like this that obviously paid well usually belonged to the large mercenary groups. Actually, Herlous knew that Han Xiao had a point, but he did not give up.
Han Xiao muttered to himself. He did not remember this part of the story. According to the timeline, this incident happened in Version 1.0, and the players in his previous life were still playing in the novice planet, so it was normal that they did not come into contact with it. Later, when he entered the sea of stars, he had never heard of the incident, which proved that it was just a storm that had been properly resolved. Therefore, it did not cause any other effects.
Han Xiao was more cautious when it came to unexpected events. After all, he had a plot he was familiar with. Whether or not he should take the risk to participate in an unknown plot, he had to weigh the benefits and risks. He was not a coward who was afraid of changing the plot. He did not lack the spirit of adventure and the breadth of a man. However, the most important thing right now was to accumulate strength, and participating in the plot was the safest way. He did not want to cause more trouble.
"Let me think about it," Han Xiao said.
"Alright, I'll be on standby." Herlous nodded. After all, Han Xiao was the leader of the mercenary group in name. Although he seemed to be the strongest in the group, Herlous was never arrogant because of his strength.
After turning off the communication, Han Xiao turned to look at the results of the continuous work on the lathe. All the gunpowder guns had been upgraded to electromagnetic guns, such as dual pistols, sniper rifles, assault rifles, and so on. The effect of the innovation of the conventional weapons was very obvious. Their attack power had obviously increased by a level. The conventional gunpowder guns he created were basically purple, with an attack power between 80 to 140. However, the electromagnetic weapons he created now were green and blue, but their attack power was at least 230, and their range had increased by three to five times.
The style of electromagnetic guns was completely different from gunpowder guns. The barrel was covered with layers of electromagnetic coils, and the outside was covered with a special conductive alloy gun mechanism used to restrain the electromagnetic field. It looked like a rectangular box. Every time he fired, the gun mechanism would shrink back and then immediately spring back to its original position. Because the basic bullets used were magnetic needles, there was no shell-throwing process, and the firing speed was greatly increased. Furthermore, electromagnetic guns were best at penetrating.
On the table next to him was a huge silver-black scythe. It was close to two meters long, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper. Han Xiao held the scythe with one hand and slowly raised it horizontally. A wave of energy flowed from his palm into the handle of the scythe. The next moment, a glaring electric light spread out from where he held the scythe. The pitch-black handle was covered with lightning patterns.
The blade of the scythe lit up with a dazzling blue electric light, slightly rippling and letting out a buzzing sound. He casually waved his hand, and a crescent-shaped blade light was thrown out. Strands of electric light lingered on the trajectory of the blade for a long time, and a scorching aura spread out in the air. After waving the scythe for a while, he twisted the end of the handle, and the one-meter-long scythe suddenly broke into seven or eight pieces, which were connected to each other like thick electric snakes. When he waved the scythe again, the range of the attack was greatly increased, and the broken pieces could be formed into different shapes to attack from different angles. Han Xiao nodded with satisfaction. He retracted his energy, and the black scythe shrunk until it turned into a forty-centimeter-long black stick with the ability to fold and carry.
[Battle Scythe — Electric Spear], a weapon exclusive to Supers, was extremely powerful. This was a mechanical scythe blueprint that he had obtained from the latest combination. He had combined the principles of the Electromagnetic Burning Gloves and the Magnetic Chain Shattering Blade into a new machine that he had created himself. It came with its own offensive abilities, and its attack power was extremely impressive. This was his new main melee weapon, and only then could it keep up with his current strength level.
Other than that, he had added a large accessory to the Amphiptere mechanical suit. It was a full set of exoskeleton armor that was like a set of super heavy knight armor. It had two layers of armor on the outside, and its body was more than 3.5 meters tall. Its defense and attack power were even higher. This was a piece of equipment that could be stored away during normal times.
Han Xiao did not give this simple and crude exoskeleton armor a name, but it meant that the Amphiptere mechanical suit had a new status. When equipped with the 'Batwing' turbo aircraft, it would be in [Amphiptere — Flight Mode]. When equipped with this exoskeleton armor, it would be in [Amphiptere — Siege Mode], which increased the capabilities of the mechanical suit.
Because the structure of the vehicle was too complicated, it was not completed yet. However, the blueprint had been combined, and it was a very useful vehicle that could be used on land, sea, and in the air. However, its appearance was extremely different from what Han Xiao had imagined.
To put it simply, it was a ball …
Just by using the two Advancement Knowledges that he had just obtained, Han Xiao had already benefited a lot and created new equipment that was not very useful. However, in his eyes, this change was just icing on the cake. It had not reached the level of a revolutionary innovation, and he was far from satisfied. That was because with his current level, he had the qualifications to obtain an ability that could be said to be a watershed in the early to middle stages of the Mechanic class!
He was already LV 95, and this level was only available in Version 3.0. Therefore, the Class Advancement requirement was so difficult that he wanted to vomit. The ability that Han Xiao wanted was the symbol of the rise of the Mechanic class in Version 3.0 — Rapid Assembly and Super Compression Technology!
Only by obtaining this ability could the Mechanic class truly reach the threshold of a one-man army!
This was a sign that the Mechanic class had passed the early stages. Many Mechanic combat styles were based on Super Compression Technology.
As the item was a real weight, the ability to be portable was very important. Just like Godora's standard equipment, this ability could allow a Mechanic to fold all kinds of large machinery into palm-sized metal pieces. The amount of equipment that a Mechanic could carry would increase exponentially, and they would no longer need to carry heavy equipment bags. They could expand into an iron fortress at any time and create a metal storm.
For example, Amphiptere's newest exoskeleton armor could be easily carried around after being compressed and folded. It did not need to take up much space and could be turned into a siege mode at any time. Or the Ranger Robots that could not be carried around could be folded into dozens of them and be able to attack the enemy at any time.
There were three core knowledges for this ability: [Rapid Assembly and Assembly], [High Density Material Compression Technology], and [Elementary Spatial Technology], all of which were Advancement Knowledges.
Unfortunately, these three knowledges were almost never circulated in the market. In the Shattered Star Ring, they were strictly controlled by the various civilizations.
Han Xiao frowned and thought. This ability is a must for a Mechanic to grow, and it's not sold in the market of the Shattered Star Ring. The most obvious way is to join a large faction to farm Contribution Points and exchange for these three knowledges. That's what most players did in my previous life. There's another way, which is to leave the Shattered Star Ring and go to other Star Fields to try my luck. The more advanced civilizations do not value Advancement Knowledges as much, so I might be able to get some.
Han Technician scratched his chin and pondered. The Silvers are also an advanced race, so they definitely have these three knowledges. If I can get hired by them, I might be able to exchange the reward for the knowledges, but the chances are slim …
After thinking about it, Han Xiao decided to give it a try. One had to have a dream. What if it came true? Therefore, no matter what happened in his previous life, Han Technician had always bought lottery tickets. Even if he did not win even once, at least he would be able to gain some luck.
He put away the equipment, paid the rent, and left the modification room. He came to the mercenary hall. It was crowded, and there were more mercenaries than usual. They were probably attracted by the Silvers' recruitment notice and wanted to try their luck.
Han Xiao opened the mercenary information and saw the Silvers' recruitment mission at the top. After opening it, he was shocked.
Minimum Credibility Requirement: 400
400？！ We don't even have half of that.
Han Xiao was speechless.
What is this called? Hope was stuffed back into the womb before it was even born!
"Hey, Black Star!"
Just as he was about to leave, someone suddenly called out to him. Han Xiao turned around and saw a blue-skinned shorty in a robe running toward him with a pair of short legs that could run a hundred meters in thirty seconds. He was panting heavily.
Han Xiao stared at him for a while, slapped his head, and said, "Hey, aren't you … Wait, don't remind me, I remember. What's your name … Mud Man?"
"It's a Blue Nyan!"
Martin said angrily. His steel-like hair suddenly grew longer, turning from spikes to needles. This was how a Blue Nyan behaved when they were angry.
