"Hah!"
Hila exhaled and shouted, her pink fist exploded with powerful force, hitting Han Xiao's chest like a bullet, making a crackling sound.
Han Xiao took the punch hard, endured the suffocation in his chest, grabbed the collar of Hila's combat uniform with his big hand, twisted his waist, and threw Hila to the other side with an overhand throw.
Hila was not panicked at all, supported herself with her palms on the ground, turned over lightly, and easily resolved the overhand throw.
Han Xiao did not chase after her, but stood there rubbing his chest.
"Is this the only progress you have made?" Hila looked dissatisfied.
Han Xiao said nothing, he deliberately concealed his shortcomings. With his performance, the organization should have given up on him, but in the past six months, Hila still trained him in combat every day, and today she worked particularly hard.
What made Han Xiao feel a little bit regretful was that since the first special training, nothing had happened between Han Xiao and Hila, as if that incident had become Hila's secret.
Han Xiao, in order to maintain his "brainwashed" state, naturally would not have any special reaction.
Hela did not expect Han Xiao to speak. She knew that Zero was taciturn, like an emotionless robot. Although she was a supervisor, she was actually very idle. She did nothing in the base every day, and training Han Xiao was one of her few activities.
Sometimes she wanted to try that injection again, but since the first test had no results, the organization did not pay attention to it and temporarily stopped the supply.
After learning that the leader wanted to hand Han Xiao over to Lin Weixian, Hela felt very complicated.
Although the two of them almost never communicated, there would always be some different feelings after getting along for half a year. Even if it was a commonly used item, or a massage stick that had been played once, it would be missed by people, not to mention people. Perhaps it was a little bit of nostalgia. Hela couldn't bear to see Han Xiao being dismembered into hundreds of pieces of meat on the test bench of Lin Weixian, the scumbag.
How many times have those familiar faces disappeared on an ordinary day and never appeared again.
The organization's cold style has made her lose many friends.
And...sister, Hela was disappointed.
If Zero could show his talent in fighting at the last minute, perhaps the leader would change his mind, so she worked hard to train Han Xiao today.
Unfortunately, miracles are not so easy to happen.
"The leader agreed to Lin Weixian to dissect and study you..." Hela sighed.
Strictly speaking, this was the first sentence Hela said to Zero that had nothing to do with training.
Hela didn't notice that Han Xiao's eyes became sharp for a moment, and then disappeared.
"This day has come..." Han Xiao had long expected that his performance would lead to such a result sooner or later. For the Germinal Organization, useless people are junk stocks that need to be sold quickly to recover the investment as soon as possible.
But he didn't regret it at all, because the degree of attention is linked to the degree of surveillance. If he showed his extraordinaryness in a high-profile manner, he would only be squeezed more severely. His identity could not enter the core layer of the Germinal Organization. He would always be treated as a tool. At most, it was just useful or not. Otherwise, Han Xiao really didn't mind working for Germinal.
Han Xiao suddenly caught a glimpse of a photo on the ground. It seemed to have fallen out of Hela's pocket when he fell over his shoulder just now. He bent down and picked it up.
This was a group photo. The background of the photo was the blue sea and blue sky. There was a sunset hanging at the junction of the sea and the sky, and the two little girls standing side by side were the protagonists of the photo. One was Hela when she was a child, smiling brightly and lively. The other girl looked a bit like Hela, but her hair was snow-white and she was gentle and well-behaved.
Hela's face changed, and she suddenly took the photo back. Seeing that the photo was not damaged, she was relieved. She solemnly put the photo close to her body, looked at Han Xiao deeply, and turned to leave the training ground.
A message suddenly popped up on the panel.
[You triggered the D-level task [Night Owl Plan], accept/give up? ]
Han Xiao's eyes flickered slightly. This was the first time he triggered a task in half a year.
There is no need to hesitate. Accept it!
[Task Tips: The dark and bloody rise of the Germinal Organization has always been a mystery that the six major countries of the Aquamarine Star keep secret. Hela has an unknown past. Is she really loyal to the Germinal Organization? You have already grasped a clue. If you continue to investigate, you may get unexpected gains, or you may be unexpected... dangerous! Of course, you can also provide this clue to some interested people in exchange for rewards, or you can keep the clue to yourself. In any case, the choice is yours. ]
The mission was obviously triggered by the photo. Coincidentally, Han Xiao just recognized the white-haired girl. That was Hela's sister, Aurora.
Aurora also has superpowers, but her superpowers are two extremes from Hela. Hela is extremely aggressive, while Aurora's flesh and blood have powerful healing abilities, and can even prolong life and bring the dead back to life. Aurora was controlled by Germinal, who not only used her superpowers, but also used them as a threat to make Hela do a lot of bloody work for Germinal.
The only person Hela cares about is her sister. At the end of version 1.0, the war between the six countries and Sprout entered a white-hot stage. The war was tense. Sprout dismembered Aurora and used her flesh and blood to make countless healing potions that were as effective as "a second life", winning a great victory in the local battlefield. Hela, who was on the front line, did not know what happened until a few months later.
Hela completely collapsed. The Sprout Organization had guessed her reaction long ago and immediately sent a large number of masters to capture Hela and imprison her. Hela suffered inhuman torture in prison. The deep hatred gave her terrible resilience. She endured all the torture and finally found an opportunity to escape from prison.
Since then, Hela has become cold-blooded and cruel. She has used countless lives to develop superpowers, and has become stronger by any means. She has completely fallen into the evil camp and finally became the "Goddess of Death" that makes people shudder.
Although Hela is cold now, she is 10,000 times kinder than the future female death god who treats thousands of lives as dust and destroys civilizations. If there is a chance, Han Xiao would like to help her and change Hela's miserable future. After all, she is the first person to lose her virginity (passively?) after he traveled through time.
It's not out of pity, but to avoid trouble. Hela in the previous life was simply a crazy woman who killed anyone she caught. Han Xiao was unlucky enough to meet Hela more than a dozen times, and all of them were destroyed by warships and suffered huge losses.
To change Hela's future, the key point lies in Aurora.
However, for now, Han Xiao does not have this ability, and escaping is the top priority.
Every two months, Hela will leave the laboratory regularly. There are two days left before Hela leaves again, and his experience reserves are enough.
The opportunity finally came.
...
Back to his mechanical modification room, Han Xiao called out the panel. He now has three professions, civilian, agent, and mechanical beginner.
The civilian profession can be ignored, and the other two are his capital to escape from the laboratory.
Among the five major professional systems, the mechanical department was relatively the weakest in the early stage, but he did not regret it at all, because the mechanical department was his best profession.
The mechanical department tended to be a logistics and life profession in the early stage, but after the high-end knowledge of the professional knowledge tree was opened in version 3.0, the combat effectiveness of the mechanical department soared and gradually became popular, even competing with the martial arts department with the most players.
In the later stage, a high-level mechanic was an interstellar army!
The mechanical department has a lot of skills. Each blueprint invention is equivalent to a skill, and there are thousands of blueprints in the mechanical department, so the potential for development in the later stage is very high. Different skills can be combined into countless combat modes, such as trap flow, position flow, heavy artillery flow, sniper flow, legion flow, mecha flow, etc.
But the disadvantages are also obvious. If you want to cultivate a master of the mechanical department, the experience required is several times more than that of other professions.
After thinking about it, Han Xiao invested his experience in the mechanical beginner profession and rushed to the next level.
[[Mechanical Beginner]Upgraded to lv3, Strength +10, Intelligence +1, Endurance +1, Gain 2 free attribute points, Gain 1 potential point]
…
[[Mechanical Beginner]Upgraded to lv10 (Max), Strength +30, Intelligence +1, Endurance +1, Gain 2 free attribute points, Gain 1 potential point. ]
Most professions have a maximum level of 10, and can only be upgraded after changing jobs.
A total of 130,000 experience points were spent to upgrade [Mechanical Beginner] from level 2 to the upper limit of level 10, providing 8 more endurance points, 8 more intelligence points, 100 more strength points, 16 free attribute points, 8 more potential points, and the total level became 12.
The main profession is usually upgraded first, which can gain strength and has the highest cost-effectiveness.
After [Mechanical Beginner] reached the upper limit of level 10, Han Xiao temporarily failed to meet the requirements for changing jobs. He had expected this and put it on hold for the time being.
Han Xiao then upgraded [Agent] to level 9, consuming 80,000 experience points. The [Agent] profession gives him a total of Strength +12, Agility +9, Charm +3, 9 potential points and 9 free attribute points.
The total level reaches 20.
A character can have an unlimited number of professions, but every 20 levels is a bottleneck, and it is necessary to complete advanced tasks to continue to upgrade. The total level cap is unlocked with the version update. The total level cap of version 1.0 is 60.
There are hundreds of professions in "Star Ocean", allowing players to have countless combinations. In the later stages of the game, personalization is very important. There is no fixed growth strategy. Each character is different to maintain attractiveness.
But Han Xiao found that his panel did not show the total level cap, which means that he can have power beyond the player version.
In versions 1.0 and 2.0, the player's activity area is basically a novice planet, and in the depths of the universe, those large interstellar forces have always existed, but players cannot access them, so the version is a restriction on players, and he is now an NPC, so naturally there is no such shackles.
[Level 20 Advanced Task: Learn an advanced knowledge of the mechanical department. ]
The prerequisite for advanced knowledge is to learn five basic knowledge of a branch. The professional knowledge of the armed branch in the base is not complete, and he has no way to deal with it.
Consume another 150,000 experience points to upgrade [Simple Repair] and [Simple Enhancement Modification] to lv10 and obtain two potential points, which are related to the subsequent plan.
Consume 10,000 experience points to upgrade [Primary Mechanical Affinity] to lv3.
Based on his familiarity with "Star Ocean", Han Xiao spent 60,000 experience points to upgrade [Basic Combat] and [Basic Shooting] to lv6, and successfully obtained two new skills, [Grab] and [Precision Shooting].
The last 170,000 experience points are left, which is Han Xiao's reserve for "gambling on blueprints".
Inventing blueprints is the most important ability of the mechanical department.
After the mechanical department's professional knowledge is upgraded, the blueprint will be automatically obtained. This is the first way to obtain blueprints.
The second way is to obtain them from tasks and special NPCs. They are special blueprints and are generally rare.
The third way is to dismantle the machinery and reversely study the blueprints, but the conditions are harsh and it takes a lot of experience!
The fourth is the most important "knowledge fusion", which fuses two or more professional knowledge. If the combination is correct, new blueprints can be developed. Each fusion consumes experience.
There are countless combinations of 60 kinds of knowledge. Each combination hides many blueprints, but each fusion will only develop one of them. Some blueprints even have hidden prerequisites, so it is difficult to figure out how many blueprints a combination can develop.
The fusion experience of the same combination will continue to accumulate. Even if no new blueprints are developed, the experience will not be returned, so it is also called "betting on blueprints".
This is the characteristic of the mechanical department, which has created the mechanical department's changeable combat style and is also the root of its strength in the later stage. It is also a bottomless pit of experience.
Before he crossed over, players found thousands of combinations. With more than ten years of experience, Han Xiao has an impression of 80 to 90 percent of them. Choosing the mechanical department has a huge advantage, which can minimize the weakness of the mechanical department in the early stage. There are a few rare blueprints, which are the artifacts of the mechanical department in the early stage!
Of course, there is also a rarely used function-free creation, which creates a machine according to the player's ideas, but 99% of the probability is that what is created is a pile of broken copper and iron. The success rate depends on the rationality of the concept, the quality of the materials, the level of professional knowledge, expertise, tools and other aspects. Until the version before Han Xiao crossed over, no player had developed and perfected the self-creation function. Even if a self-created machine was occasionally created, the effect was not as good as the blueprint machine. This function has always been regarded as useless.
Professional upgrade gave him 19 potential points, and two skills at the maximum level gave him 2 points, a total of 21 potential points.
Han Xiao took out the professional knowledge book he had prepared long ago from the bookshelf, took a deep breath, and invested potential points.
[Do you want to consume 1 potential point to learn the armed branch [Basic Mechanical Engineering]? ]
[Do you want to consume 1 potential point to learn the armed branch [Basic Bionics]? ]
"Confirmed!"
A large amount of knowledge was instilled into his mind, and Han Xiao's head swelled and overloaded, as if it was about to explode. The pain made his face twitch, and it took a full ten minutes to ease.
The mechanical knowledge that he had never understood before was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Han Xiao consumed 2 more potential points to upgrade [Basic Mechanical Engineering] and [Basic Bionics] to level 2 respectively, improving his mastery.
"These two level 2 basic mechanical knowledge combinations can develop six blueprints. The experience value of each fusion of the same combination doubles. The first fusion of the basic combination is 10,000 experience points. 170,000 experience points are enough for me to fuse four times. I must bet on that thing in these four times!"
Han Xiao was nervous, his palms were full of sweat, and he dragged [Basic Mechanical Engineering lv2] and [Basic Bionics lv2] together on the panel.
[Do you want to fuse knowledge (Basic Mechanical Engineering + Basic Bionics), this fusion will consume 10,000 experience points. ]
Yes!
The brain was dizzy for a moment, and a brand new invention blueprint appeared out of thin air.
[Fusion successful, congratulations on developing [Yunyan Hang Glider]! ]
"Not this one!" Han Xiao clenched his fists and continued!
[...This fusion will consume 20,000 experience points. ]
[Fusion successful, congratulations on developing [Bionic Prosthesis]! ]
Oh my god, the worst blueprints are out, but this is not it!
Next!
[…This fusion will consume 40,000 experience points. ]
[Fusion successful, congratulations on developing the [Light Power Arm]! ]
"Got it!"
Han Xiao excitedly slapped the table, knocking off a screw.
Ha, a light power arm… This is what I want!
Half a year of accumulation, almost squandered.

Half a year of accumulation, direct upgrade to level 20, combat effectiveness soars!
There were a total of 27 free attribute points. Han Xiao spent 5 points to increase his intelligence to 20, meeting the manufacturing requirements of the light power arm blueprint. The rest were saved for emergency situations.
The last link was to arm himself!
Looking at the mechanical parts on the ground, Han Xiao smiled secretly.
"I will tell you what it means to raise a tiger to cause trouble!"
