Two days later, in Hesla, Chenfeng City.
This was a coastal city near the border. It had an excellent port and took in a large number of cruise ships every day. It was a prosperous city with many skyscrapers.
Hesla was mainly based on its navy. There were many coastal cities, and its navy was the strongest in the Six Nations. The four continents of Planet Aquamarine were separated by an ocean. As the old saying went, whoever had the rebound would … Oh, sorry, sorry, I got the wrong script. Let's do it again.
Whoever had the control of the sea would have a huge advantage.
There were large amounts of energy resources under the sea, such as oil and natural gas. Exploitation of energy resources was the core of Hesla's economy.
Han Xiao remembered that Hesla had a secret military plan called the 'Fourth Response Plan for Major Crises'. It was to build many thousand-meter-wide Ark Motherships. If a country were to face a catastrophe, such as a nuclear war, they would be able to preserve the fire and move the population to the Ark, becoming a floating country on the sea.
Hmm … Although this plan ended up benefiting someone else in the end, this kind of pessimistic spirit of being afraid of being annihilated and having a sense of crisis was worth learning. There was a good saying, "Born in sorrow and suffering, die in peace and happiness." It meant that it was better to die than to struggle blindly.
There seemed to be something wrong … Hmm, not important.
At this time, Han Xiao, who had changed his appearance, was staying at the Farian Group's base in Chenfeng City. With the Black Gold Card he had obtained from Matthew, he was treated as a VIP and temporarily had a place to stay.
There were still more than three months to the open beta, and he could earn the most money by moving around freely. He had the Farian Group's supply channel and had a lot of savings. He could buy parts and build machines to gain experience. He did not need orders from others and could produce and sell his own products.
Old Man Lu's hidden quest would only be triggered after the open beta started. He had already established a good relationship with the old man, so he was not in a hurry.
Han Xiao noted down the main points of his development before the open beta.
Firstly, he could trigger missions with generous rewards and obtain some rare skills and talents to increase his strength.
Second, obtain a stable supply channel and gain experience by building machines while completing missions.
Fourth, do a series of destructive actions against the Germinal Organization.
Fifth, increase the reward limit of his missions in preparation for the open beta.
"These should be the main points."
Han Xiao put down his pen and pondered. He had many large-scale missions in mind, so the first point was not a problem. The supply of goods was also very simple. Since he had the black gold VIP card of the Farian Group, he could purchase their goods.
Destroying the Germinal Organization was to complete the A-level mission. He already had a preliminary idea. In order to maximize his advantage in intelligence, he had to focus on all the forces that were enemies of the Germinal Organization.
As for increasing the quota, Han Xiao's goal was to increase the Legend Level. The EXP reward quota for issuing missions was divided into the maximum quota for a single mission and the total daily quota. The Legend Level could increase both at the same time, and the total daily quota would be multiplied. It was the most cost-effective.
Brother Xiao's Legendary Points were now zero, but it did not matter. There would be bread, and so would the Geoduck.
There were three ways to obtain Legend Points. The first was to complete high-grade and rare missions and obtain high contribution points. Usually, only the main mission of a planet would reward Legend Points. His own A-rank mission [Seed Slumbers in the Dust] belonged to the main mission of a planet.
Every planet (not limited to novice planets) had one or more main storyline events. For example, the Blue Star in Version 1.0 had two main storyline events and one hidden storyline. The war between the Six Nations and the Germinal Organization was one of the main storyline events. The other main storyline would only appear in the early stages of the open beta. As for the hidden storyline, it all depended on luck.
This method of obtaining Legend Points was very time-consuming and difficult. It was impossible to achieve in a short period of time.
The second method was very random. It was to do some well-known deeds that were related to the faction. It depended on the specific deeds and varied from person to person. No one had a detailed calculation, and it was not reliable.
Han Xiao was interested in the third method, which was also the easiest way to obtain Legend Points — to be on the top of some ranking lists.
Some factions had created a list that was publicly recognized. If one was on the top of the list, they would be able to obtain Legend Points. However, this was not stable. Once a newcomer took the top spot, the Legend Points would change hands. This method was the source of Legend Points for most players. Legend Points could increase the number of favorability points of certain factions, give discounts on purchases, and trigger some rare missions.
Knock, knock, knock … Han Xiao tapped his fingers on the table, pondered, and scratched his nose.
However, before he acted, he had to deal with the burden on his body.
Looking at the interface, he had a total of 720,000 EXP. He directly invested it into leveling up, reaching level 30, and his attributes increased again.
[Apprentice Mechanic] had reached the maximum level, and the last level increased his attributes even more. This time was no exception. Leveling up from level 9 to level 10 gave him 90 Energy Points.
Throwing all six Free Attribute Points into Intelligence, he reached the one hundred mark.
Traces of clarity appeared in his mind, and he felt that his control of machinery had become easier. Intelligence affected many aspects of a Mechanic, such as the speed of creation, the quality of the finished product, and the power bonus of using machinery. For example, a pistol with 20 Attack Power would have its Attack Power increased in the hands of a Mechanic. Therefore, although other classes could use equipment made by Mechanics, the effect would not be as good as the Mechanic himself.
[Apprentice Mechanic] (Max Level. Class Advancement Requirement: Learn 20 blueprints.)
"The random Class Advancement requirement this time is very simple."
Han Xiaoxin was overjoyed. He counted, and he now knew twelve blueprints. He only needed eight more.
He did not want to use useless blueprints casually. He had to make good use of every bit of EXP. After all, the EXP was stored in the interface, so it did not matter if he changed his Class Advancement later.
…
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In the office of the Fabian Organization in Morning Wind City, the person in charge, Antonio, had a cigar in his mouth. His fat, bear-like body filled the entire sofa. He blew out a puff of smoke and stared at Han Xiao, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him.
At this time, Han Xiao was wearing a black trench coat, and the Face Simulator simulated the appearance of a middle-aged unemployed man. He looked ordinary and inconspicuous. This was the face that he was going to use to form a new identity.
Han Xiao took out the list of materials and said slowly, "I want the things on this list."
Antonio took a look at the list and said, "It's a total of 100,000. Black Gold Card is 20% off, so it's 80,000."
"I also want a Blood Pact Society certificate that belongs to the Dark Net."
Antonio squinted his eyes and said, "200,000."
The Dark Net was the underground world's information hub, and the Dark Net was the power behind it. They were neutral, did not fight, and did not fight. They developed quietly and followed the five principles of peaceful coexistence. Many factions were partners of the Dark Net, and they provided various services to the underground world's members, including but not limited to the purchase of firearms, delivery of supplies, safe houses, information trafficking, bounty killers, mercenaries, and destruction of corpses.
The Blood Pact Society was an assassin employment organization operated by the Dark Net. With a certificate, one could become a contract assassin and enjoy the various services mentioned above. To Han Xiao, obtaining a certificate was equivalent to opening a faction.
The official name of the Blood Pact Society was a little lame, but it had another famous name.
The Assassin Alliance!
Of course, if one wanted to, they could also call it the Assassin Fellowship, which would make it seem less cool.
If players wanted to join the Dark Net, they would have to go through a series of complicated and tedious quests. Time was precious to him. Instead of wasting dozens of days, it was better to use money to get a certificate. 200,000 was a huge sum of money to players, but it was not worth mentioning to him.
"It feels good to have money." Han Xiao sighed. When he was a player, he had to count with his fingers for a long time just to buy a set of materials. He had never experienced the pleasure of spending money like he did now.
Antonio arranged a private workshop for him, and the parts and materials were delivered quickly. Han Xiao repaired the durability of the equipment that he had lost in the battle with Pan Kuang.
What was left was the materials to build new machines.
"Since I'm going alone, I won't have any teammates to support me. I should try to stay away from danger during this period of time. The sniper style is suitable for me for now. I need to develop a stronger sniper rifle and more new bullets. Hmm … I need some bombs, traps, anti-vehicle weapons, and lastly, close combat machines. For example, I need some small, hidden, and high-damage weapons …"
Han Xiao thought for a while, summoned the interface, and began to fuse knowledge. He decided to start with the new bullets.
Do you want to fuse knowledge (Lv.3 Basic Weaponry, Lv.3 Basic Materials, Lv.2 Basic Mechanics)? This fusion will cost 15000 EXP!
Fusion successful. You have developed [Shuttle-Type Penetrating Bullet]!
Do you want to fuse knowledge (Lv.3 Basic Weaponry, Lv.3 Basic Materials, Lv.1 Basic Biochemistry)? This fusion will cost 15000 EXP!
Fusion successful. You have developed [Hayme Bullet]!
Do you want to fuse knowledge (Lv.3 Basic Weaponry, Lv.3 Basic Materials, Lv.2 Basic Optics)? This fusion will cost 15000 EXP!
Fusion successful. You have developed [Dazzling Bullet]!
"I'm really a Spitfire now." Han Xiao scratched his head.
He still had more than 200,000 EXP left. It was not enough for him to master the sniper style. He had to take it one step at a time.
Han Xiao thought for a while and decided to upgrade his core skill, Snipe, to Lv.5 to increase his accuracy and range.
He had taken the sniper rifle from Hesla's logistics team. The model was called Red Falcon. It was black in color and gray in quality. Its attributes were very average. He immediately started to upgrade it.
This time, he focused on power. The Red Falcon's attack power was 92-103, its firing rate was one shot every two seconds, and its range was only 600 meters. However, with Machinery Affinity and Snipe, the range was increased to 750 meters, which was more than enough.
Han Xiao still had tens of thousands of EXP left. He did not use it and started to create three new types of ammunition.
…
Batches of new bullets were created.
The Farian Group's lathe equipment was specifically used to create ammunition, which could save more time. This reminded Han Xiao.
Should I create some mechanical assistants to help me create the parts?
He now had the blueprint of the smart chip and more technologies. As long as he increased his [Basic Programming] level, he would be able to create simple assistant rangers. However, he did not have a fixed base, so it was not the time to create robots.
Antonio walked into the workshop and put a dark gold coin with a unique shape on the table. He said in a deep voice, "Your proof."
Han Xiao was slightly happy. This sentence sounded like Yida.
