"It really did appear. It's actually a specific learning type mission. I thought it would be a random ability draw …"
Looking at the content of this mission, Han Xiao's eyes flashed with joy.
This type of mission was similar to employment. In his previous life, when players accepted missions from NPCs, they could negotiate with the NPCs about the mission rewards, such as the amount of money, the ability to learn, items, and so on. There was a Life Profession called [Lobbyist], which had a series of skills and talents. Its use was to increase the success rate of communicating with NPCs. Its effect was similar to a player's reputation.
However, the probability of a specific learning type mission was extremely low, and it depended on luck. Most of the time, the reward would be a random ability draw.
Han Xiao was only trying to influence the reward based on the experience of the players in his previous life. He did not have a hundred percent confidence that he would be able to obtain an ability draw type mission.
In his original plan, he thought that it would at most be a random ability draw mission. He did not expect there to be such a surprise.
"If that's the case, there's no need to rely on luck."
Han Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
He had thought that the reward would at most be a random ability draw, and he was worried that he would not be able to obtain the Perfect Mechanical Sense in one or two tries. Thus, he had prepared many 'scenarios' for Nero.
However, with a specific type of mission, there was no need to torture Nero anymore.
At this moment, Han Xiao suddenly had a guess, and his expression became strange.
Could it be that I got this mission because of Nero's Advanced Luck Glow? If I get it in one go, I won't continue to scam him, so Nero won't have to go through the crueler 'scenarios'? This does not seem impossible!
"So terrifying, so terrifying …"
Han Xiao's mouth twitched, and he did not know what expression to make.
Actually, this time, it had deviated slightly from Han Xiao's original plan. Originally, Han Xiao wanted Nero to call him for help after falling into a desperate situation. However, he did not expect this kid to be so good at fighting and had the protection of the protagonist's aura. He had forcefully opened a path of blood and escaped by himself, almost ruining Han Xiao's plan.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had come up with a fake signal to trick this brat's little lover, Nero might not have come to him for help. If that was the case, everything would have been for nothing.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind before Han Xiao regained his senses. When he saw that Nero was still anxiously waiting online, he couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, since the agreement is made, leave everything to me."
Nodding his head, Nero wiped his tears and couldn't help asking, "Godfather, when can you come over? I'm afraid that Mia will …"
He did not know that Han Xiao's mechanical army was hidden in the fleet, so he thought that when Han Xiao said he would help, he would have to save Mia after the mission was over. Who knew how many days it would take, so he was worried that Mia would be tortured by the enemy during this time.
Hearing this, Han Xiao held back his laughter, gave him a meaningful look, and said, "Don't worry, it won't be long."
With that, he hung up the call without explaining anything to Nero.
Exhaling, Han Xiaoxin was delighted. He switched back to the perspective of the Lord's Avatar on the battlefield and nodded.
"You can start now."
…
"Hmm, where is this place?"
Mia's mind was in a mess, and her eyelids were extremely heavy. She struggled to open her eyes halfway, and the scene before her appeared before her eyes.
Five meters in front of her was a transparent glass window made of nano materials, and a few Kunde Race soldiers were standing behind it. They were looking at her and whispering to each other, as though they were saying something. However, the window blocked out all sound, so she couldn't hear anything.
Her entire body was exhausted, and she couldn't control her body. It was as though a ghost was pressing down on her, and it was extremely difficult for her to even move a finger. It was as though her body had been injected with some sort of extremely powerful sedative. She could clearly feel that her body was fixed to a certain device, and she couldn't move her limbs.
"What happened to me? Why am I here …" Mia racked her brains and tried to recall what had happened before she lost consciousness.
Her brain felt as though it was filled with lead, and the speed of her thoughts was extremely slow. Fragmented memories slowly appeared in her mind, and she pondered for a full ten seconds before she recalled everything that had happened.
She had followed her team to the wilderness to check for abnormal signals, and they had encountered a few enemy battleships that had suddenly appeared in the wilderness. The entire team had been caught off guard, and she had also been hit by a few of the battleships' cannons. She had been severely injured and had fallen to the ground, losing her ability to fight. Her brain had been impacted, and the last thing she saw before she completely lost consciousness was the Kunde Race soldiers approaching and squatting down in front of her.
"Does this mean that I was captured by the enemy? Where are the others? "
Mia was shocked and wanted to turn her head. However, her head was also fixed, and she could only try her best to move her eyes. She looked to the side from the corner of her eyes and realized that there was a row of fixed devices beside her. All her teammates had been restrained, and most of them were still unconscious.
Right at this moment, a weak and familiar voice sounded from the other side.
"Mia, you're awake?"
Mia hurriedly looked over and realized that it was the captain of her team. "Captain, you were also captured?"
"I was unable to fight against the battleships, but the enemy did not kill us. They captured all of us alive."
"It's good that everyone is not dead." Mia heaved a sigh of relief.
"Ah …" The captain laughed bitterly. "You're wrong. Instead of falling into the hands of this group of enemies, it might be better to die."
"Why?" Mia was a little dizzy and subconsciously asked.
"Think about it. Why would the enemy want to capture us alive? If I'm not wrong, they are most likely treating us as research materials. What awaits us in the future will be all sorts of inhumane dissection and experiments. Every inch of our flesh and blood will become experimental materials for the enemy. Compared to this pain, death is nothing. "The captain's tone was filled with despair." The others can't even take care of themselves, and no one can save us. "
Hearing that, Mia felt a chill run down her spine.
Although she was a Super, she was only a teenager. How could she have experienced such despair?
At this moment, Nero's figure involuntarily appeared in her mind. Her heart couldn't help but ache, and her expression became miserable.
"I'm sorry … I might have to go back on my words. I won't be able to walk down this path with you …"
Tears welled up in Mia's eyes. Her eyelids drooped as tears streaked down her beautiful face, leaving two trails behind.
At this moment, the door opened, and a few Kunde Race soldiers walked in. They took out syringes from the cupboard and walked toward the two of them who had woken up.
Although the other party did not say anything, Mia could tell from their actions that the enemy was trying to anesthetize them and prevent them from regaining consciousness.
Mia wanted to fight to the death, but all the cells in her body had fallen silent, and she was unable to use any strength.
She could only watch as the Kunde Race soldiers approached her, and her eyes were filled with despair.
Boom!
Right at this moment, a strong tremor ran through the entire spaceship, and the few Kunde Race soldiers almost fell.
Before Mia could recover from her shock, her vision blurred. The few Kunde Race soldiers that were still alive a second ago suddenly turned into a few corpses that were smashed into the wall. A mechanical soldier appeared in front of her as though it had teleported. However, its speed was too fast, and she was unable to see it clearly with her current strength.
Crack, crack, crack …
The next moment, this mechanical soldier crushed the device that was imprisoning Mia and the others, took out the Aurora Potion, and quickly injected everyone with it.
Everyone's spirits were lifted, and they all recovered to their peak state. They groped their bodies, and their faces revealed the ecstasy of surviving a calamity.
Everyone turned to the mechanical soldier with surprise and doubt in their eyes. They did not expect that someone would come to save them in such a desperate situation.
Mia's emotions fluctuated greatly, and she only recovered after a few seconds. She stared at the mechanical soldier and could not help but ask, "W-who are you? Are you also from the army?"
"Why? Don't you recognize me?" The mechanical soldier let out a laughter similar to Han Xiao's. "I am Black Star."
Everyone's eyes suddenly widened, their faces filled with astonishment.
It was the Army Commander who came to save us?
Why would he appear here?
Mia's mouth opened wide, and she suddenly realized that she had guessed the truth.
For someone of Black Star's level to appear here, there could only be one explanation … he had actually been secretly protecting Nero!
The others also reacted and rejoiced at the fact that they had survived a calamity … Fortunately, they were assigned to the same unit as Nero. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for such a turn of events to occur. At the very least, half of their lives were saved by Nero.
"Alright, my mechanical army has taken over the battlefield. Follow me."
The mechanical soldier controlled by Han Xiao waved his hand and calmed everyone down. After thinking for a while, he patted Mia's shoulder and slowly said, "Bring Nero to me.
"After the war, get Nero to bring you to me. I will introduce you to a few Calamity Grade Pugilists and get them to accept you as a student."
Mia's eyes widened in disbelief. She was stunned for a while before realizing that Han Xiao had given her the opportunity to become a disciple of a Calamity Grade Super.
She was both excited and flattered, not daring to imagine that she would be treated differently by Black Star. She hurriedly nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Alright, thank you so much, Your Excellency Black Star!"
"It's nothing. I just feel that you have the potential to become a Calamity Grade Super."
Han Xiao smiled and turned to look at the other members of his team. After pondering for a second, he said, "As for you guys, you can report to Herlous when you return. I will get him to increase your authority in the army. You can be promoted, form new teams, or choose new positions. You will not be short of material rewards."
They did not expect that being captured would bring them such benefits … Everyone looked at each other with joy in their eyes.
…
Outside the floating base, the mechanical army that had been waiting all along suddenly bared its fangs.
Under the suppression of his strength, the entire base did not have any room to resist and was instantly infiltrated. All of their military forces were disintegrated, and the entire base fell into Han Xiao's control.
Be it the Kunde Race soldiers or officers, they all fell from heaven into the abyss and became captives.
On the battlefield, the invisible mechanical army finally appeared and joined the battle. Under the shocked gazes of the army warriors, they destroyed all of the enemy's battleships.
Nero and the others were still escaping when a mechanical army suddenly appeared in front of them and opened fire behind them.
They hurriedly looked back and saw a beam of light shooting past their spaceship, easily piercing through the few Kunde Race battleships behind them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Flames lit up, and all of the spaceships that were chasing them exploded from the inside out, turning into fireworks in the sky.
Seeing this, Nero was stunned.
How did he arrive so quickly?
Speaking of godfather, it had only been one or two minutes since the call for help!
At this moment, he suddenly thought of the meaningful look Han Xiao had given him when he hung up the call and came to a realization.
Although godfather wants me to train alone, he has always sent troops to protect me in secret. These mechanical troops are most likely hidden within the troops and will come to my aid at the most critical moment.
So, the call earlier was just to educate me?
"Godfather … he has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
Realizing Han Xiao's' good intentions', Nero was touched and wiped away the tears in his eyes. He secretly evaluated Han Xiao's character …
It was the complete opposite of Han Technician's true character.
Even Nero's thoughts had been predicted by Han Xiao, and everything was going according to the script that the great Director Han had written.
The entire battlefield was under the control of Han Xiao's mechanical army, and this small fleet of the Kunde Race would not be able to do anything. Han Xiao's mechanical army swiftly ended the battle and gathered all the army warriors before sending Mia and the others back.
Seeing that Mia was safe, Nero's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he let out a long breath before revealing a comforting smile.
"That's great. You're fine."
Mia immediately saw Nero and ran to him. She originally wanted to give him a hug, but seeing that there were so many people around, she felt a little embarrassed. She only raised her fist and lightly punched Nero's chest before softly saying, "Thank you. If not for you, I wouldn't have been able to return."
Nero smiled and said, "I said that I would protect you."
Looking at his silly smile, Mia could not help but want to argue with him. "It was clearly His Excellency Black Star who protected me."
"Cough cough." Han Xiao coughed and interrupted their conversation. "I've saved you. You have to be more careful in the future. Your luck won't be so good every time, and I won't always be protecting you."
"I understand." Nero turned around and thanked Han Xiao solemnly. "Thank you. I will remember today's lesson and not act rashly in the future. I promise you that I won't waste my talent."
Han Xiao nodded with a smile. He then turned to look at the other army warriors present, nodded slightly, and slowly said,
"Although I interfered in the battle, I won't steal your credit for capturing so many Kunde Race captives. Send these captives back and look for Herlous afterward. He will arrange additional rewards for all of you."
This time, in order to allow Nero to undergo his tribulation, Han Xiao had also made use of this group of army warriors. Han Xiao had long prepared compensation for this, and he would not be stingy in this aspect. When he made use of the other party, if the other party was one of his own, Han Xiao would definitely give them a reward. From Bennett to Godora, to the Amethyst Civilization, to the Red Empire, he had always been like this, and he had never changed.
The invisible mechanical army had been monitoring the battle the entire time. A battle that was not dangerous had been exchanged for a promotion and an opportunity to become an officer. This was not a bad deal, and Han Xiao was the one who had profited the most.
After a few words of consolation, Han Xiao was no longer interested in watching Nero and Mia flirt. He immediately retracted his consciousness and switched his vision back to his main body.
"It's finally done!"
[Nero's Request] has been completed!
You have received the reward: Choose one of Nero's abilities (Ability/Talent).
Please choose one from the following as your reward:
A list of abilities popped up on the interface, and all of Nero's abilities and talents were listed.
Han Xiao was extremely clear about Nero's abilities. Among all the abilities, there were two that had the highest priority. One was [Perfect Mechanical Sense], and the other was [Advanced Luck Glow].
There was only one ability that could be chosen. Between these two abilities, Han Xiao needed [Perfect Mechanical Sense] the most. This was one of the top Molding Talents of the Mechanic class, and almost every Beyond Grade A Mechanic had it.
As for [Advanced Luck Glow], he did want it, but his priority was slightly lower. After all, this ability would not help with his combat strength, and it would also weaken his' Together with You to the Underworld 'ability.
Furthermore, his basic Luck attribute was slightly low, so the effect of this ability was limited. He was also afraid that if his Luck increased, it would be harder for him to obtain a Mission Completion Card.
Furthermore, with Ding Ke Ke Ke, Han Xiao did not need Luck that much.
[Perfect Mechanical Sense] was the goal of his plan, and Han Xiao was very satisfied with his efficiency. In order to reward Nero, he decided not to let Nero suffer for the time being.
As for [Advanced Luck Glow], he would find a chance to give it to Nero in the future … Han Xiao stroked his chin.
Putting away his devilish thoughts, Han Xiao calmed himself down and selected a target on the interface.
The next moment, an intense Mechanical Force current flowed out from his brain!
Selection complete!
Your talent [Basic Mechanical Sense] has disappeared.
You have received [Perfect Mechanical Sense]!
