"… Okay, these two sets of knowledge will be transmitted to you very soon. Remember to receive them."
The officer in charge of logistics hung up the communication.
Han Xiao exited the quantum network and played with the black handgun in his hand, waiting for the knowledge he exchanged to be transmitted.
The handgun in his hand looked like an outdated firearm with live ammunition, but it actually used dark energy technology. Its core was a particle energy furnace, and it was mainly sold to players as a weapon to increase long-range damage. However, to Han Xiao, it was no different from a toy gun. The reason it looked like this was mainly for nostalgia.
As he became stronger, Han Xiao's memories of when he was weak became more and more vivid. The scenes of him fighting on Blue Star were still vivid in his mind. Now that he had grown into an overlord in the universe, he could barely kill ordinary soldiers in the beginning. Now, he had the destructive power to destroy planets. There were fewer and fewer things that could kill him, so he cherished his experiences when he was weak.
"In the blink of an eye, it's been more than twenty years …" Memories flooded his mind. Han Xiao's expression was a little complicated. Sigh, people get emotional easily when they get older.
"Master, what are you thinking about?"
The hovering guards around Han Xiao like armed satellites merged and turned into Psionic Prime. He stood beside Han Xiao and asked.
"I'm just thinking about the past."
Han Xiao put away his emotions and turned to look at Psionic Prime.
"I realize that you're getting more and more curious about the outside world."
Psionic Prime's metal head nodded. "Although I can obtain all kinds of knowledge through the network, the emotions of a life form are ever-changing. Many things can only be understood through personal experience. Therefore, I prefer to communicate."
"This is a good thing. In the future, I'll need you to manage a mechanical civilization for me. You're the first life form I've created. If there are no accidents, you'll be the leader. As the leader of a civilization, you need to learn to understand others and the thoughts of other mechanical lives."
Han Xiao paused, and his expression suddenly became a little helpless. "It's a good thing that you like to communicate, but you better change your habit of chatting online …"
Han Xiao used Virtual Technology to organize the data of all the Mechanical Lives. He realized that many Mechanical Lives, including Psionic Prime, liked to chat with the netizens of various civilizations.
It would have been fine if it was a normal chat, but most of the Mechanical Lives had hundreds or thousands of accounts open at the same time to chat with many people at the same time, and the content was very explosive. The most normal content was actually simulating the opposite sex to chat with others. It could be seen that the overall level of harmony was through the roof, and it was called studying the various emotional reactions of normal organisms.
In his eyes, most mechanical lives were problematic children. They were like sponges that absorbed the evil and good of countless creatures at the same time, creating all kinds of personalities.
Sizing up Psionic Prime, Han Xiao pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Stand in front of me."
Psionic Prime did as he was told. His streamlined alloy body was filled with the beauty of machinery and technology. The light from the exhaust flames of countless spaceships shone in from outside the porthole and landed on his mechanical body, reflecting the light.
Han Xiao leaned on the sofa, and with a flip of his palm, a ball of golden-blue Mechanical Force that looked like an electromagnetic cloud gathered in his palm. It was like a cloud that was slowly changing shape, flickering with the light of mysterious energy.
"You're my first child. After observing you for so long, I'm very satisfied with your potential. Are you willing to become my Apostle Weapon and obtain greater strength?"
"I'm willing to accept everything from you, Master." Psionic Prime knelt on one knee.
"Then, accept this gift. Also, don't call me Master anymore …"
Han Xiao's lips curled up slightly.
"Call me Lord."
The next moment, with a thought from Han Xiao, the special Mechanical Force in his palm that contained 'Lord's Power' turned into streaks of electricity and entered Psionic Prime's body. It was the Lord Mechanic's ability — [Apostle Life Creation]!
Hum!
Psionic Prime's energy furnace fluctuated violently, and streaks of golden-blue Mechanical Force extended out from his mechanical body. It was as though they had turned into tentacles filled with electromagnetic energy.
A magnetic field that contained a strange aura enveloped Psionic Prime's body. The mechanical structure, components, and nerves in his body started to transform, and the alloys around him started to vibrate as though they were about to be sucked into Psionic Prime's body. It was as though he had turned into a black hole.
Han Xiao grabbed with his hand, and a large number of nanoparticles were thrown toward Psionic Prime. Under the effect of the special magnetic field outside Psionic Prime's body, the nanoparticles started to spin around Psionic Prime's body like rings. The spinning speed became faster and faster, and these nanoparticles gradually melted into a flood of metal. They were captured by the golden-blue tentacles and entered Psionic Prime's body, providing him with raw materials for modification.
The light left behind dreamy spots on Han Xiao's face. Han Xiao leaned on the sofa and played with the dark energy pistol casually, looking at this scene with great interest. The effect of [Apostle Life Creation] was even better than [Emperor's Gift].
There was a limit to the number of Apostle Weapons. Even with all kinds of talents that could break through the upper limit, the number of slots was still limited.
The rarer something was, the more valuable it was. Since there were very few Apostle Weapons, Han Xiao wanted to give Psionic Prime a sense of ceremony.
After a while, Psionic Prime's transformation finally stopped. His appearance had undergone a huge change.
At this moment, Psionic Prime had become even taller and was about four meters tall. His mechanical body that was silver, blue, purple, and gold was still streamlined, but there were many new structures in many parts that strengthened the complexity of the armor. On the surface of the armor, there were also many complicated patterns that looked very beautiful.
A metal ring that looked like a crown appeared on Psionic Prime's head. The back of the shoulder armor and the skirt armor extended downward, and the end gradually narrowed. The edge of the armor had clear triangular metal scales that looked like layers of feathers, giving off the feeling that he was wearing a feather robe. A white mechanical spear with golden patterns appeared in his hand, and he placed it on the ground as though he was holding a scepter.
Han Xiao sized him up and smiled.
"How do you feel?"
"… Thanks to the Lord's gift, I feel a new power." Psionic Prime's tone was calm. He tapped the spear in his hand, and clouds of psionic energy surged out from his energy furnace. The energy fluctuations increased exponentially.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, suddenly raised his pistol, and fired at Psionic Prime.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Streaks of long and thin dark energy beams hit the surface of Psionic Prime's body and were blocked by a thin layer of psionic energy, triggering a combat notification.
Han Xiao looked at Psionic Prime's attributes on the interface, browsed through them, and nodded with satisfaction.
The current Psionic Prime had reached level 215, and all his attributes, skills, and talents had been strengthened. He had already reached the level of a boss, far surpassing all mechanical lifeforms.
Without Han Xiao's Mechanical Force bonuses, he still had the strength of a Calamity Grade Super. With the Mechanical Force bonuses, it would not be difficult for him to beat a group of Calamity Grades. He would even be able to exchange blows with a Beyond Grade A Super. He would no longer be cannon fodder and would be on the same level as EsGod's doppelganger.
The spear in Psionic Prime's hands was a special 'Apostle Weapon' brought by [Apostle Life Creation]. It was named 'Psionic Prime Battle Spear' after him. It could also split into floating states and expand and shrink. It had multiple forms, and it could be released time and time again to gain more power. It could also convert psionic energy into light waves, and it could be used in both long-range and close-range battles. The weapon was also above level 200, and its quality was silver-orange, which meant that it was a Legendary weapon with an inheritance attribute. When used by Psionic Prime himself, its power would be increased.
Other than that, Psionic Prime also received special 'Apostle Characteristics' and 'Apostle Authority'. His Apostle Characteristics were 'Steady' and 'Leader', which would strengthen the mechanical life forms around him. His Apostle Authority was' Psionic Control 'and' Battle Enhancement ', which would allow him to control psionic energy more flexibly and be more proficient in combat.
A satisfied smile appeared on Han Xiao's face.
The strength of an Apostle Weapon was very impressive. It was a pity that the cooldown period of [Apostle Life Creation] was very long, which meant that he could create twelve Apostle Weapons in a year. Of course, with talents like [Machinery Emperor] and [Elementary Grade Mechanical Sense], he could create more than twelve Apostle Weapons.
With a thought, Han Xiao comforted him.
"Familiarize yourself with your new abilities, First Apostle."
"I will not disappoint the Lord," Psionic Prime said with a deep voice.
Beep beep!
At this moment, Han Xiao's communicator rang. He picked it up and saw that the Red Empire had finally sent over the two Ultimate Knowledges that he had obtained.
After spending 12,000 Contribution Points, Han Xiao chose the two Ultimate Knowledges. They were:
Armed Branch — [Endless Material Science]!
Manipulation Branch — [Virtual Creator]!
One was the ability of a Virtual Mechanic and only required eight Potential Points. The other was an extremely important knowledge for a Mechanic. No matter which branch a Mechanic was from, they would try their best to learn it.
Materials and energy had always been a huge bottleneck. In every level of knowledge in the Armed Branch, there would be traces of Material Science. The ability to synthesize stronger and stronger materials and increase the basic attributes of all machines was one of the core knowledges of a Mechanic.
Learning these two knowledges required thirty-two Potential Points, and Han Xiao had thirty-three Potential Points.
Han Xiao smiled and directly used his Potential Points to learn them.
[Learning …]
Learning complete! You have learned [Endless Material Science]!
[Learning …]
Learning complete! You have mastered [Virtual Creator]!]
You have received talent [Material Pioneer]!
[Material Pioneer]: Your chances of synthesizing new materials have been slightly increased, and the abilities obtained from special materials have been enhanced. For example, when using Memory Alloy or Nano Repair Materials, machines will have the ability to repair themselves. If the original effect is 100 points of durability per second, the enhanced effect will be 150-280 points of durability per second.
You have received talent [Virtual Lord]!
You have learned ability [Ultimate Material Refinement].
You have learned ability [Endless Material Synthesis]!
[Endless Material Synthesis]: You can combine the characteristics of any material and attempt to synthesize new material formulas. The higher the grade of the material, the lower the success rate. The more complex the formula, the lower the success rate. The lower the success rate if there is a conflict between materials. The basic success rate increases with INT and Machinery Affinity … When you create a new material, the strength of the new material will be increased.
You have learned ability [Virtual Life Evolution]!
[Virtual Life Evolution]: You can turn AI into a Virtual Lifeform, and the Virtual Lifeform will have stronger Virtual Intrusion and Defense.
You have learned ability [Virtual Soul]!
[Virtual Soul]: Your soul can switch to a Virtual Lifeform and wander in the quantum network. The higher your level, INT, and Virtual Technology bonuses are, the stronger your ability in the quantum network will be. This effect can be dispelled.
When you connect to a target with Mechanical Force, you can temporarily virtualize the enemy's soul and drag it into the quantum network. The success rate depends on your level, INT, MYS, and LUK. If successful, the target will temporarily be unable to control their body, and attacking the target's soul in the quantum network will cause mental damage. This effect has a cooldown of 15 minutes.
Han Xiao looked through it and nodded.
"The effects of these abilities are all very powerful. Endless Material Science allows me to further enhance the quality of my mechanical equipment and create new exclusive materials. Virtual Knowledge allows me to have new tactical options."
He had obtained two Ultimate Knowledges. Han Xiaoxin was satisfied. Han Xiao did not use the remaining six thousand or so Contribution Points to exchange for new knowledges. He planned to leave them for activating the Red Empire's Political Asset effect.
Just as he was about to head to the combat training room to test the strength of Psionic Prime, who had become an Apostle Weapon, his communicator rang again. Tarrokov had contacted him and revealed a piece of information that surprised him.
After hearing that, Han Xiao had a strange expression.
"… You're saying that EsGod wants to temporarily cooperate with the dynasty and send a portion of his men to help us intercept the Arcane Church?"
"Yes, the team that went to chase after the Fallen Ark captured an empty battleship shell. An EsGod doppelganger is inside. He did not resist and directly allowed himself to be captured, saying that he wants to have a talk with us."
Tarrokov was also a little surprised.
Han Xiao frowned and felt that this matter was a little strange. EsGod did not need to do this at all. EsGod's mobility was already very high, and he was not someone who valued his subordinates. He did not need to cooperate with the dynasty to escape. Furthermore, the dynasty's target was not him in the first place, so why would EsGod do this to anger the Arcane Church? Did EsGod think that he could curry favor with the dynasty by doing this?
After thinking about it, Han Xiao asked.
"Chief commander, what do you plan to do?"
"Hmm, what EsGod wants is the information on the location of the Arcane Church. It doesn't matter if we give it to him. Anyway, the Arcane Church is about to leave the security perimeter and will lose track of them very soon. This information is not confidential, so we can tell anyone.
Even if EsGod is not sincere in helping us, there is no loss to us. If he really wants to trick the Arcane Church and get Sagman and the others to cover for him, we will benefit from it. As for the grudge of him working with the Arcane Church to attack us, we can take revenge in the future. "
"Then we'll do as you say."
Although Han Xiao felt that EsGod's decision was very strange, Tarrokov was the commander. Since he could not think of any problems, he would not interfere with Tarrokov's decision.
This time, Tarrokov spoke again.
"There's one more thing … EsGod's doppelganger wants to see you and communicate with you."
"See me? Got it. The dynasty fleet chasing EsGod doesn't have any Beyond Grade As, so I will send some mechanical troops over to monitor his doppelganger and prevent him from doing anything rash. "
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and snorted. EsGod was most likely here to 'thank' him for using the Evolution Cube on him.
After pausing for a while, he continued.
"As for the Arcane Church's fleet … even if they leave the security perimeter, I still have a way to locate them …"
As a Virtual Mechanic, how could he not do something to the Arcane Church's battleships during the battle? Although the artificial firewall of the Arcane Church was very strong, he still managed to infiltrate it and leave something behind.
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled.
I chose to learn the knowledge of the [Virtual Creator] at this juncture precisely to chase after them!
