After becoming a War Mechanic, he gained five new abilities on his personal interface. Even without looking at the description, Han Xiao was familiar with the effects of these abilities.
[Application-Grade Machinery Affinity] gave a higher bonus than [Advanced Machinery Affinity]. The core ability system of the Mechanic class definitely needed to be upgraded. He only had three hundred million EXP left, so he only leveled it up to level five. Every level would give him an additional five percent effect, increasing his Machinery Affinity by another twenty-five percent.
The prerequisite for [Waste Modification] was one of the three abilities given by the compression technology, [Basic Machinery Construction]. The effects of the two were somewhat similar. [Waste Modification]'s effect was that if a machine was destroyed (its durability reached zero) and turned into a pile of waste parts, he could use some energy to restore the parts back to their original state. However, the quality of the parts would decrease by one to two grades, and the basic attributes would also decrease by twenty-five percent. This ability could be used multiple times on the same target until its quality dropped to gray or its attributes dropped by seventy-five percent. This meant that this ability could only be used three times on the same target.
As the name suggested, the effect of this ability was to efficiently reuse waste. Its effect in actual combat was much stronger than what the description said. This was also one of the reasons why the War Mechanic class was given the prefix 'War', allowing the Mechanic class to have more tactical options. In his previous life, the players had reached the fifth and sixth stage of their main class in Version 3.0. That was the time when the Mechanic class turned over a new leaf. The War Mechanic class was both stable and complicated when fighting, and it also required an extremely strong tactical mind. It was the most difficult class to control.
[Mechanical Force Overload], on the other hand, was a normal Machinery bonus skill. It was similar to [Surging Mechanical Force] and [Overload], but the bonus value was higher. The difference between the two was that [Surging Mechanical Force] did not have any side effects. While [Overload] decreased durability, the side effect of [Mechanical Force Overload] was that the machinery would enter a cooldown period, unable to operate. However, it could be used together with [Overload]. When the two were used on a machine, the bonus would increase by another forty percent, and the durability of the machine would instantly decrease by thirty-three percent. Han Xiao had used this ability quite often in the past, but he had only used it on 'abandoned pieces', which were the machines that were cannon fodder in his eyes.
Among them, the most special ability was [Mechanical Force Combat Technique], which had an 'unlocked' suffix. It required one to learn a High-End Knowledge, [High-End Electromagnetic Force Field]. The uniqueness of this ability was that it was not a skill that could be used through machinery but the combat ability of the Mechanic himself.
Mechanical Force was the energy converted from electromagnetic energy, and it also had electromagnetic characteristics. This combat technique was to make use of the characteristics of Mechanical Force. Even without machinery, he would still have a certain level of combat ability, just like how every mage had a certain level of melee combat ability.
The last ability was the talent [Battlefield Rationality]. It was a fixed talent of the Mechanic class. After entering combat state, one's Intelligence would increase by 1% for every minute up to a maximum of 15%. This talent was paired with the talent [Machinery Analytical Comprehension] (10 Intelligence + 1% Machinery Affinity) from the previous stage of the main class.
During normal PvP, the number of Mechanic machines would decrease as the battle progressed. This talent made up for the late game strength of the Mechanic class to a certain extent. After the Mechanic class was formed, it was very well-rounded. It could be used for both quick attacks and late game attacks. There was a basic tactic that was to use a bunch of trapping machines to stall for fifteen minutes. After getting the highest bonus, all the machines would be released for a wave of rush.
Han Xiao only leveled up his Machinery Affinity by a few levels and did not touch anything else. He only spent 40,000,000 experience, so he still had about 250,000,000 experience left. He planned to spend it sparingly. He still had 96 Free Attribute Points on the interface, so he continued to add all his points to Intelligence.
Actually, when he looked at the stick with the Luck attribute, he hesitated for a moment. However, he did not add any points to Luck in the end. Although one point of Luck looked like a pain in the ass, it was of no use to him. Luck was related to the drop rate and the judgment of certain skills. He was not a player who walked the path of happiness, so he basically did not have any skills that required Luck judgment. Adding points to Luck would not increase his combat ability at all. Furthermore, adding one or two points to Luck was useless. If he wanted to walk the path of happiness, he would need at least a few dozen points of Luck. Throwing so many Free Attribute Points into Intelligence was equivalent to wasting them.
Unless it was a dog, a lucky player would not be able to go far.
After adding all the points, his attributes after the Promotion were clear at a glance.
Total Level: 116
Main Class: Mechanic

Energy Rank: 7,637 Ona
Grade: B
My Energy Rank is 7,600, and I have yet to reach B +. However, my actual combat strength is not weaker than that of a B +. The standard for Grade A is a Universal Grade. According to this level increase, I will have the strength of a Calamity Grade around level 140, which is twenty to thirty levels earlier than the players.
Han Xiao nodded.
I am already level 116, and I still have a Mission Completion Card in my hands. The only thing I lack is experience. If I want to quickly gain experience, the players are the most efficient way. If I want to level up in a short period of time, I can only use the players. Therefore, as long as my plan can be carried out smoothly during the Mutation Disaster and guide the Blue Star players to join my faction, I will be able to reach Grade A in the next version!
After getting the cleaning robots to clean up the bloodstains on the ground, Han Xiao walked out of the simulation room. The moment he returned to the hall, everyone looked at him with shock.
"Am I hallucinating? You seem to have … changed?" Herlous asked with suspicion.
Sylvia walked around Han Xiao a few times, patted her chest, and heaved a sigh of relief. "You scared me to death. I thought I recognized the wrong person."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Han Xiao's mouth twitched. After his Race Evolution, his appearance had also changed, but he felt that the change was not too big.
"Your appearance is actually not bad, but your temperament is different. You seem to have become more mysterious. Furthermore, I remember that you did not have this crystal on your forehead …" Herlous shivered and said, "Strange, I actually felt a sense of pressure from you. Our strength should be about the same. What did you do when you locked yourself in the room?"
They naturally did not know that Han Xiao could quickly complete his Race Evolution through the interface, while normal people needed to strengthen their cells over time to complete the evolution of their life level. The time required for the two was completely different.
"I am stronger than before." Han Xiao chuckled and waved his hand. "I won't go into the details. Anyway, I am still me."
Herlous was helpless. "Don't tell me you have some special training technique like Fu Ding?"
Fu Ding, who was meditating, opened his eyes. "Who called me?"
"Shut up!"
"Oh."
Herlous had always disliked Fu Ding. He snorted, looked at Han Xiao, and asked, "Are we going to Noriose next?"
Han Xiao nodded. "Yes, I'm done with my business. Ames asked me to go to Noriose and find her teacher."
He had become much stronger, but it would still take a very, very long time before he could reach Ames' level. Before that, Han Xiao did not mind having a backer. After all, the galaxy was so big, and there were too many strong people and organizations. Furthermore, Ames had saved him once before, so he would naturally help her if he could. There was no harm in building a good relationship with a Beyond Grade A Super. He was still under the Dragon Emperor's command in name.
This time, Herlous interrupted. "Before going to Noriose, I want to go back to Planet Sunil and get my armor, [Shattering Light]. Planet Sunil is nearby anyway, so it won't take long."
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled.
He had been drooling over the Commander Class armor for a long time. In the past, he did not have enough knowledge to study it, but now, he had fulfilled the requirements.
"No problem, let's go back together."
…
The spaceship slowly landed on the plains outside Forest City. This used to be the battlefield against the Catastrophe, and blood flowed like a river. Now, it had been cleaned up, and it was a barren, scorched land.
The six lines of defense of Forest City had been repaired. Pairs of armored guards patrolled, and tanks drove out from time to time to hunt beasts deep in the forest.
As soon as they landed, a large number of guards surrounded them and lined up to welcome them. Before coming, Herlous had already informed the Sunil officials. As soon as they got off the spaceship, this group of guards shouted in Sunil's native language in unison. They were basically expressing their respect for Herlous.
"Let's go back. I've already contacted the government. We'll go straight to the research center to get the armor," Herlous said with a smile.
They followed the guards all the way into Forest City. It had not changed much compared to a year ago, but there were fewer people on the streets. It was probably because more young people had joined the army.
"You're Herlous? Oh my god, hero! " This time, the passersby noticed Herlous and surrounded him with surprise. Han Xiao and the others were pushed to the side.
Herlous quickly put on a friendly smile and chatted for a while. As more and more people surrounded him, he could not stand the enthusiasm of the residents and hurriedly squeezed his way out. The few of them turned a few rounds and got rid of the crowd.
"You're very popular." Han Xiao laughed.
Herlous had an awkward expression. "The government needs a role model to boost the confidence of the residents, so they promote my deeds and broadcast them on TV and radio every day. There's no one in this city who doesn't know me."
"National hero, so impressive." Sylvia's eyes sparkled.
"Impressive my ass. The end of a hero is to sacrifice himself," Herlous said in annoyance.
He still remembered Han Xiao's' prophecy '.
The group sneaked to the entrance of the government in the center of the city. Only then did they not see the residents. Herlous went forward to report, and very soon, a few officers came out to chat with him. This was the Sunil race's business, so Han Xiao was not interested in listening.
After chatting for a while, Herlous gestured to the rest and followed the officers into the military restricted area. After passing through many metal doors, they came to a sealed research institute. The space was very spacious, and there was even a hangar with modified fighter jets.
The group came to a laboratory, and Herlous' Commander Class armor was placed on the experiment table. More than ten researchers surrounded it to test its parameters.
"This is General Herlous. He's here to take his armor. This is his pass." The officer went forward to negotiate.
Han Xiao raised his brows, poked Herlous' back, and softly asked, "When did you become a general?"
Herlous grinned and also softly replied, "In name."
The person in charge of the research was excitedly conducting experiments. Hearing that, he turned around, looked at the group, and showed an impatient expression. He came to the door and unhappily said, "Didn't you say that you would let me study it? Why are you suddenly taking it away?"
"I heard that you guys have already made some progress, so I want to take back my armor. This will be of great help to me," Herlous said.
The person in charge of the research grumbled unwillingly, "How can we return it to you? This armor is related to Sunil's top technology. It's a national treasure, not something that belongs to you alone."
"Er … but I was the one who gave this to the country, so there's nothing wrong with me taking it back."
"Aren't you a national hero? Are you not willing to make such a small contribution?" The person in charge of the research frowned.
Herlous was helpless. He looked at the officer beside him, and the officer immediately took out the document. The general idea was that Herlous' request had already been approved by the upper echelons. The researchers beside heard that and could only follow the order. They picked up the armor, put it into the metal box, and handed it to Herlous.
"I've got it. Let's go." Herlous touched the box and smiled.
The person in charge of the research was so angry that he trembled. "If you leave the armor behind, we will definitely be able to get more results from the research, and it will be of greater help to the race. You're too selfish!"
Herlous' expression changed slightly, but he did not say anything. Just as he was about to leave, he realized that Han Xiao had stopped.
Turning around, Han Xiao walked up to the person in charge of the research, grabbed his head, and forced the panicking person to look at him.
He said calmly, "I remember how he was covered in wounds when he fought with me. I remember how lonely he looked when he lost his arm. I remember how he was in pain when he was implanted with the mechanical arm. If not for your bullsh * t race, with his strength, he would not have been able to live comfortably in the galaxy. I just don't know, how is he selfish?
Is it because he's a good person that you dare to spout nonsense because you know he won't hurt you? "
