Han Xiao had already stayed in a luxurious single cell for three days, but he was not in a hurry at all. He had the time to sort out his abilities and collect the Skill Upgrade Card.
Han Xiao looked at his interface. 90,000 EXP. Some of it was from missions and killing enemies, while some of it was from crafting guns for the raccoon.
Basic Combat was at level 8, so it was best to use the Skill Upgrade Card (Basic) to level up. Han Xiao did not hesitate. He first raised his Basic Combat to level 9 before collecting the Skill Upgrade Card.
A brass card appeared in his hand out of thin air. Han Xiaoxin thought about it, and the card turned into a stream of light and disappeared into his forehead.
His limbs trembled, and a new energy flowed through his muscles and bones. Han Xiao felt refreshed, and he could clearly feel that his body had become stronger.
[Basic Combat Lv.10 (Max)]: + 10% Hand-to-Hand Attack, + 2 STR, + 1 END
Many skills would have attribute bonuses when they reached a certain level.
When a character's level reached the upper limit, they could also increase their combat power through skills. Galaxy had a different level upper limit in every version, and in future versions, there would be a saying: "Max level is just the beginning."
[Basic Combat] has reached the upper limit. You have received 1 Potential Point.
Great, 16 Potential Points!
Han Xiao spent some more EXP to raise [Basic Shooting] to Lv.8. He still had about 20,000 EXP left, and he was ready to gamble on two blueprints.
There were two uses for blueprints. One was to keep them as a trump card in battle and never reveal them.
The other was to sell them, accepting orders from others to earn EXP and money. Normal Mechanic players could only sell their blueprints to other players, while the big guilds and clubs controlled the opportunities to trade with NPCs.
However, Han Xiao had no competitors, so he could get ahead of them. What he needed the most now was blueprints to sell and gain EXP. Division 13 was a potential market with a lot of potential customers, and there were more opportunities than the Germinal Organization's base.
There were a few blueprints in his memory that should sell well.
Do you wish to proceed with Knowledge Fusion (Basic Weaponry + Basic Assembly)? 10,000 EXP will be consumed.
"Confirm."
Fusion successful. Congratulations on developing [Retractable Blade].
Do you wish to proceed with Knowledge Fusion (Basic Weaponry + Basic Materials)? 10,000 EXP will be consumed.
Fusion successful. Congratulations on developing [High Explosive Ammunition].
Han Xiao's eyes lit up. [High Explosive Ammunition] was the best invention that he had thought of. Ammunition was suitable for all kinds of carriers, and it was not difficult to make. In the game in his previous life, ammunition had the highest sales volume. Furthermore, because it involved chemical engineering, it was very difficult to replicate, and it had an innate confidentiality.
However, the Retractable Saber made Han Xiaoxin feel complicated. This was a metal saber with a guard on the hilt. The guard was a well-proportioned rectangle with 0.5 to 0.8 meters of blades folded and hidden in the hilt. It was portable and secretive, and the blade could be ejected at any time during battle. It could be controlled through the mechanism on the hilt. The advantage was that it was sudden, and it was a must-have for home and traveling. It was not that this saber was not good, but the problem was that this saber was a standard equipment for newbies.
The Retractable Knife was cheap to make, had low technical requirements, and could be easily replicated. Even the security measures were not good. An official Mechanic would be able to understand the structure of the Retractable Knife just by looking at it. To Han Xiao, this was somewhat awkward.
It would be great if it was a ranged weapon. This kind of melee weapon with no special effects was not very popular.
One is good, one is bad. Could it be that I'm a hybrid, a combination of African and European bloodlines?
Fortunately, these two blueprints did not exist on Blue Star, so Han Xiao had many opportunities to work on them. The theories that Mechanics learned were the same, but there were many different kinds of applications. Learning the basic theories did not mean that one would be able to create all the inventions that applied those theories. In the real world before Han Xiao transmigrated, there were still civilian scientists creating new inventions every year. Regardless of how practical they were, there were still many possibilities.
These two blueprints were the focus of Han Xiao's next work. He had obtained 600,000 EXP by assembling firearms in the Germinal Organization's base, so he would definitely have more opportunities in Stardragon. When he officially joined Division 13, it would be time for him to reap the rewards.
At this time, a new notification popped up on the interface.
Grade A Mission [Slumbering in the Dust]. Current Progress: 1.6%
"Division 13 is making a move!"
Han Xiao's eyes flashed. He had revealed the information of the three bases to Division 13, so it could be considered as an indirect contribution to his mission progress. 1.6% was not too little, but it was too much. He knew better than anyone how powerful the Germinal Organization was, and a base should not have reached 1.6% progress.
Han Xiao did not expect that the attack on the base would cause the Germinal Organization's leader to suspect the higher-ups. This was the main event.
In his previous life, the battle between the Germinal Organization and the Six Nations lasted until the end of Version 1.0. If not for the [Mutation Disaster] in Version 2.0, the two sides should have been evenly matched.
There was a period of time when the Germinal Organization was at a disadvantage and could have been destroyed, but the Six Nations were terrified. This was all because of the Germinal Organization's trump card — the Death Hand System.
This was an automatic missile counterattack program that had been set up long ago. Once the Germinal Organization was on the verge of collapse, it would release all the missiles in its inventory and attack the preset targets automatically. Even if the Six Nations could intercept 95% of the missiles, the remaining missiles would still cause irreversible damage to the planet.
This was the Germinal Organization's last resort — mutual destruction.
Therefore, it was almost impossible for Han Xiao to achieve a 100% success rate unless he could crack the Death Hand System.
The Death Hand System was the trump card that the Germinal Organization revealed at the last moment. Although it prevented the Germinal Organization from being destroyed, many Germinal Organization members were shaken. Those who worked for the Germinal Organization first wanted to take revenge on the Six Nations, and second, they wanted to follow the Germinal Organization's ideology and create a new regime. When the Germinal Organization's trump card clashed with its ideology, a large number of members would be lost. No one wanted the world to be destroyed, so if someone could expose it …
Han Xiao shook his head. This matter was still too far away, so he suppressed it in his heart.
…
Not long after, Feng Jun finally arrived and brought Han Xiao to the interrogation room. As usual, it was the head of the intelligence department who spoke to him.
"The information from the base has been confirmed. We believe in your sincerity. The higher-ups have decided to accept you as a member of Division 13! "
It's done! Han Xiao secretly sighed in relief. His relationship with the tall old man had worked. He was not naive enough to think that the higher-ups would agree to let him join Division 13. There had to be a secret deal behind it.
"… The Germinal Organization has decided to let you join the Covert Operations Department. You will be assigned to an action team."
Han Xiao's expression became strange.
In the new era, countless elites and talents who had lost their countries were wandering outside. The Six Nations' intelligence agencies had relaxed their recruitment requirements and started to recruit non-national members. However, the Covert Operations Department was an ace department, and they still had a certain level of loyalty to their members. This was undoubtedly the work of the tall old man.
That old man thinks so highly of me?
Joining the Covert Operations Department was a good thing for him. He could interact with many powerful people in the department, and he would also have the opportunity to go out and participate in the events and opportunities that happened outside of Stardragon. This was very important. According to Han Xiao's original plan, if Division 13 restricted his freedom, he would have defected immediately after the open beta. However, it seemed that there was no need to rush to leave now.
A new notification appeared on the interface.
You have unlocked a new faction reputation!
Stardragon Strategic Defense Department's favorability towards you has increased by 300 points.
Stardragon Strategic Defense Department (Division 13): Neutral (300/1000) – [Level 1 Member]
A new faction relationship represented new opportunities, missions, events, and benefits. The faction relationship was divided into eight levels: Mortal Enemy, Hatred, Hostile, Indifferent, Neutral, Friendly, Respect, and Reverence.
Basically, the initial favorability towards a new faction was [Indifferent], and 300 points of favorability would allow one to become neutral. Only when one reached [Friendly] would one be able to exchange favorability and contribution points for resources.
Feng Jun took out a black phone and handed it to Han Xiao. There was only his number on it. He coughed and said, "From today onwards, I'm your contact person. Don't turn off your phone."
"Oh, so it's just an unimportant mouthpiece, right?"
"Why does your choice of words always annoy me?" Feng Jun said helplessly.
The black phone did not have any decorations, and the interface was very simple. It only had the functions of making calls and sending and receiving messages. Han Xiao played with the phone and asked, "Won't it be bugged?"
"Don't worry, the line is specially encrypted.
There's one more thing. We hope that you can hand in all the mechanical blueprints you know, including the Lightweight Mechanical Arm and the robot you used to kill the Bee Sting Squad. "
Handing in the blueprints could increase the faction's contribution points, but Han Xiao needed to build machines to grow and level up. If he handed in the blueprints, Division 13 would be able to mass produce them in the future.
What Han Xiao wanted was a cooperation where others would provide the materials, and he would build the machines.
Han Xiao shook his head and rejected.
"What if an agent orders from me privately?"
"We don't care."
Han Xiao smiled when he got the answer. All the agents of Division 13 were his potential customers.
There was still a long way to go, and the higher-ups of Division 13 would not ruin their cooperation with Han Xiao just for one or two basic blueprints. They were more concerned about the intelligence of the Germinal Organization. At least the conservatives were rational, while the hardliners were not happy with Han Xiao.
The other benefit of joining Division 13 was that Division 13 had a lot of resources, which saved him the trouble of finding materials. He could buy a lot of parts and raw materials with money, as well as many good things that could not be found on the market.
After the negotiation, Han Xiao put on the black mask again and was led through the winding corridors to the elevator and left the headquarters.
