After being excited for a while, his mood quickly calmed down. After being unlucky for more than ten times, Han Xiao finally got the item he needed, and he felt much more relaxed. The Mission Completion Card was not some rare item, but he had actually drawn more than ten times. He was also very helpless, but he finally got it.
Now that he had the Mission Completion Card, he did not need to take the risk to deal with Grade A Supers anymore.
If it was an ordinary player, the level range would be like this: Level 1 to Level 20 would be Grade F, Level 20 to Level 40 would be Grade E, Level 41 to Level 60 would be Grade D, Level 61 to Level 90 would be Grade C, Level 91 to Level 100 would be Grade C +, and Level 100 and above would be Grade B. Of course, this was just the rough range. Because of the difference in skills, points, talents, and equipment, there would be slight differences. For example, professional players would reach Grade C at Level 60.
Ordinary players would only reach Grade B after completing the second Race Evolution at Level 100. Han Xiao was also at Level 100, but because of his various Molding Talents, he was far stronger than the players, and he was steadily at Grade B. Together with the advantages of the Mechanic class and the strength of his own attributes, he was not weak even among Grade B Supers. His actual combat strength was far beyond the standard of Grade B. However, no matter what, Level 100 was the edge of Grade B. There were dozens of levels between them and the next grade.
Therefore, Han Xiao was not willing to take the risk. Even if he reached Level 120, he would still be at Grade B. The difference between Grade A and Grade A could be seen from this. If he was facing an enemy a few levels higher, Han Xiao would not panic at all, but facing an enemy more than dozens of levels higher? Unless he used special means, there was a ninety percent chance that he would die.
Just by looking at this probability, he had lost his interest in playing around. He was not stubborn at all.
Even if he wanted to challenge someone of a higher grade, he had to follow the basic rules!
The method of obtaining the Mission Completion Card in a roundabout way had really helped him a lot, allowing him to avoid unnecessary danger. Han Xiao had experienced many dangers in the past, so he was not afraid of taking risks. However, since there was more room for him to turn things around, in his opinion, it was naturally more cost-effective to accumulate than to take the risk to deal with strong enemies.
Taking a step back, if he really went to deal with Grade A Supers, who knew how much time and resources he would have to waste? Now that he was using the method of completing missions, not only would he not lose money, but he could even make a profit. Why not?
Han Xiao was worried that his hand would tremble. He pulled himself together and carefully selected the Mission Completion Card.
"I don't usually see them, but now, two of them have appeared. I only need one. I'll keep the other for now. Maybe in the future, I'll come in handy when I encounter similar difficult quests."
Han Xiao saved up the two Mission Completion Cards and did not use them for the time being. He was still stuck on the Class Advancement mission, so he planned to buy two High-End Machinery Knowledges that he had his eyes on. After completing his Promotion and Class Advancement at the same time, he would be able to level up immediately. He now had 1,360,000 Enas in his account, which was more than enough to buy two High-End Knowledges.
"Four consecutive draws. Other than the Completion Card, there's also a Skill Enhancement Card. I'll use it first."
Han Xiao pondered.
"The Enhancement Card will increase the basic attributes of a skill, so even a max level skill can be enhanced. If I can get a mutated skill, that would be the best. However, I don't think … what should I enhance, a combat skill or a Machinery Affinity skill?"
Han Xiao opened his skill tab, and many options appeared. He skipped over the blueprints and looked at the other skills. The Mechanic class skills were the core. After enhancing them, it would basically increase his strength, but the effect would not be lost. Furthermore, there would be more Machinery Affinity skills after leveling up in the future, so the enhancement of this one skill would be limited.
It seemed like it would be better to enhance a skill that had a special purpose.
With a flash of inspiration, Han Xiao had a target.
"Why don't I enhance [Flaming Will]? I'm lacking damage output skills, and increasing explosive power is quite useful for me. If I can reduce the cooldown, this enhancement will be worth it." Han Xiao's eyes sparkled. Flaming Will had two active and passive effects. The former had a cooldown of ten minutes, while the latter had a cooldown of thirty minutes. Although the damage was high, the cooldown was also very long, so this skill could only be activated once or twice in every battle. If the cooldown was reduced, his damage output would be greatly increased.
Skill Enhancement Card activated. Target: [Flaming Will Lv.10]. Enhancing …
You have triggered a mutated skill.
You have learned a new skill. You have received [Gene Liberation Lv.1].
Han Xiao was pleasantly surprised. "Damn, I'm really lucky. There's a twenty percent chance!"
[Gene Liberation Lv.1]: Active Effect. For the next 1.5 seconds, you will consume 1,000 HP. 50% chance to deal 200% – 220% damage. 30% chance to deal 300% – 330% damage. 20% chance to deal 400% – 440% damage. Cooldown: 8 minutes 30 seconds.
Passive Effect. When HP is lower than 20%, this skill will be automatically activated once. Cooldown: 18 minutes.
After browsing through it, Han Xiao felt that the enhancement value had increased. Not only was the cooldown reduced, but the randomness of the skill had also been reduced.
Originally, [Flaming Will] had four random areas, and the highest damage was five times or more. However, the probability was too low. So far, Han Xiao had only triggered it less than five times. Now, although [Gene Liberation] had reduced the maximum bonus, it had also changed from four random areas to three. The reduced randomness meant that the damage output would be more stable.
Most importantly, this bonus was not only for one attack but also for a certain period of time. With his ability, he would definitely be able to deal more than one attack!
He was a Mechanic who walked the path of a cannon. His attack rate in one second was extremely high. This way, the effect of this skill would be explosive!
Furthermore, this was only the effect of Lv.1. Han Xiao threw in tens of millions of EXP without hesitation and leveled up to Lv.10. The bonus effect went from 1.5 seconds to 2 seconds, and the cooldown was reduced to seven minutes. The damage bonus for the three areas was increased by ten percent, which meant that the lowest was 220% and the highest was 480%. The cost was also reduced to 800 HP. Now that Han Technician had almost 20,000 HP, this bit of cost was nothing to him. Furthermore, he had obtained the [Self-Healing] ability two months ago, which allowed him to recover his HP in seven seconds.
"This skill is quite powerful!" Han Xiao clicked his tongue in wonder.
After tidying up his things, Han Xiao pushed open the door feeling refreshed. In the spaceship hall, Herlous was playing cards with the Volga brothers again with a smug look on his face. On the other hand, the Volga brothers looked dispirited.
"I'm not playing anymore. How do you always get the cards you want?" The Volga brothers were indignant.
Herlous shrugged, chuckled, and said, "Because I'm good. Don't just stand there. Pay up now."
The three brothers transferred the money gloomily. No matter how Herlous tried to tempt them, they would not play this time. They had already lost four times in a row. The three of them often played cards with Herlous, and they always lost more than they won. It was as if Herlous had the help of the heavens. He could always draw the most suitable cards, making the three brothers' gaming experience extremely poor.
Seeing that the three of them were determined, Herlous had no choice. He turned around, looked at Han Xiao, and called out, "Black Star, come and play cards."
Han Xiao said in annoyance, "Do I look like I have a lot of free time?"
At this time, Fu Ding walked out of the room. Just as he was about to go to the battle simulation room, Herlous' eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly shouted, "Fu Ding, let's play a round."
Fu Ding stopped in his tracks, turned around, and shrugged. "I don't know how to play."
"Aiya, it's very simple. I'll teach you. If you don't even know how to play cards, how are you any different from the natives?" Herlous stood up and dragged the helpless Fu Ding to sit opposite him.
"Alright, how do I play these cards?" Fu Ding shook his head, picked up a stack of cards, and started looking at them.
"The official name of these cards is' Galaxy War '. Normally, we call them Wayne Cards. This is the common language of the Radiant Federation, meaning' Dazzling Cards'. Look, there's even our mercenary group in there. Interesting, right? Let me tell you the rules …" Herlous explained the rules excitedly.
"… Alright, that's the rules. You're a Psychic, so I don't have to repeat myself. Let's play a round. You'll know how to play after the battle starts. Just use the three brothers' cards. They're also using the Shattered Star Ring deck."
Herlous knocked on the table, and the deck shuffled automatically. These cards had simple industrial enchantments, and many of the special effects could be completed automatically. He raised his hand, signaled Fu Ding to play his cards, smiled, and said, "This time, we won't play those normal modes. We'll play free-for-all mode. The way to win is to clear the opponent's health to zero. Since it's your first time playing, I'll let you play first."
Fu Ding nodded.
"Alright, you'll have to go easy on me."
Three minutes later …
Herlous stared at the field, dumbfounded.
"Did I win?" Fu Ding blinked. "Seems pretty easy."
"Hehe …" Herlous wiped his sweat. "You're just lucky this round. I'm stuck. Let's do it again …"
Not long after …
Herlous lay limply on the sofa. He looked like he had nothing left to live for, and he was weak.
"Are you lying to me? You actually know how to play from the start, right?"
Fu Ding smiled bitterly. "This is really my first time playing. Your luck is too bad."
In this short period of time, Herlous had already lost five rounds in a row. He was beaten to the point of doubting life. For some reason, his luck, which had always been good, suddenly turned black. He would never be able to draw the card he wanted. On the other hand, Feidin was having a smooth time and could play whatever he drew.
The three Volga brothers watched the whole process and could not stop laughing. "This is the feeling!"
Han Xiao shook his head. This was the reason why he did not like to play cards with this group of people.
As long as there was any element of luck in the battle mode they played, Fu Ding could basically draw the best cards every time. Herlous' luck could crush the three Volga brothers, but he could only be beaten up by Fu Ding's Advanced Halo.
How could a human beat a dog?
"Stop playing. We have a new mission. Ames wants us to go to Noriose with her to find someone, so we won't accept any more missions from outsiders for now."
Han Xiao interrupted them and said, "She's not in the Shattered Star Ring now. Before she comes back, I need to go to another Star System to buy some things. I've already set the route."
Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood.
Han Xiao was naturally going to buy High-End Knowledges. The Dragon Emperor had not arrived yet, so he planned to put everything aside and advance first. This was an opportunity that he had been looking forward to for a long time. It would allow his strength to increase to another level.
The stronger he was, the freer his movements would be. In order to complete his plan, powerful strength was necessary. In fact, his plan was to obtain more strength.
…
A few months ago, Han Xiao had already done some scouting. He went to a few Star Systems and successfully bought the two High-End Knowledges that he had his eyes on. Because he did not take the path of gaining Faction Favorability, and High-End Knowledges that were sold privately were very expensive, his savings plummeted to 500,000 Enas. The two High-End Knowledges cost him more than 800,000 Enas in total.
However, it was worth it. Money could be earned again, but the increase in his strength was permanent.
The two High-End Knowledges were [High Energy Control] from the energy branch and [Advanced Virtual Intelligence Technology] from the control branch.
[High Energy Control] was very crucial. It allowed one to control a higher level of energy and belonged to the core level of knowledge. With it, one could combine more stable shields and energy weapons. Energy weapons were more powerful conventional weapons than electromagnetic weapons.
Because only a portion of the knowledges were sold, Han Xiao could only choose the more useful knowledges. Thus, he chose [Advanced Virtual Intelligence Technology] as the second one to create artificial intelligence.
The High-End Knowledges of the Mechanic class were even more useful. Every one of them could play a role that could not be ignored. Ordinary players could only choose because the cost of High-End Knowledges increased by one point. Three points were needed to learn them, and three points were needed every time they leveled up.
After some calculations, it was clear that the three branches had a total of fifteen High-End Knowledges. Learning all of them to level five would cost a total of 225 Potential Points. If he wanted to learn all of the advanced knowledges and basic knowledges to the max level, he would need a total of 450 Potential Points!
Above High-End Knowledges, there were higher-level knowledges. The Mechanic class was an abyss that consumed Potential Points. It was basically impossible for the players to gather so many Potential Points. Thus, Han Xiao had been saving Potential Points from the start. These things would only become more and more difficult to spend.
After completing all these preparations, Han Xiao happened to be in the Garton Star System, so he drove the spaceship back to Juberly Hub.
