The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

More than ten days later.

In the central area of ​​the Black Star Palace, a long-handled war blade traverses the starry sky. It looks like a mechanical knife that has been magnified countless times. It has a black background with gold patterns and a complicated structure. It looks quite luxurious and exquisite. Mistakenly thought it was some kind of delicate figure.

The mechanical rings are placed on different parts of the mechanical long knife, and countless flexible mechanical arms extend out of the inner ring, turning into various tools and gesticulating on the long knife, causing electric arcs one by one. These rings are manufacturing aids specially used for megastructure engineering, called "megastructure assembly rings". At this time, they are connected by mechanical force and operate under the control of mechanical force.

The other end of the lightning chain linked by the mechanical force is concentrated above this huge construction site. There is a black figure floating there, it is Han Xiao, and this giant mechanical long knife is the exclusive Cosmic Treasure "Zhu Xing" under construction. blade".

Han Xiao maintained a perfect mechanical sense perspective, closely monitoring the subtle energy flow in every place during the construction of the Star Punisher Blade, just like a chef staring at the fire, adjusting at any time.

As the mechanical arm of the giant assembly ring embeds the last bolt-type power button, Han Xiao's panel sounds like a sound of heaven to him.

[You created golden quality equipment (Cosmic Treasure)]

[You got feedback from 【The Godly Tool】]

[You get 1 point of divine transformation (the same blueprint cannot be obtained repeatedly)]

[Your random attribute drops by 425 points... is being randomized, the randomization is over, and your charm drops by 425 points]

[You get 425 free attribute points]

[You get the third layer bonus of [Spiritual Artifact]: golden blueprint basic manufacturing success rate +2.5%, research and development golden blueprint basic success rate +1.2%, cosmic wonder mutation rate +0.4%]

"It's finally done..." Seeing that the judgment was successful, Han Xiao's tense nerves relaxed.

This is the third Cosmic Treasure that he personally created. It is more difficult to manufacture than the Robe of the Great Emperor. He failed many times and burned a huge amount of funds, and he succeeded in creating it today.

But compared to the terrifying profits that the Evolution Totem and the Black Star Cup continuously bring, this expense is nothing.

Han Xiao took back all the giant assembly rings, and then stored the star-killing blade in the dimension factory. Then he opened the attribute list, and threw this divine transformation point into the route of the main profession transformation, so that [Divine Transformation·Mechanical] went smoothly. Unlocks the fifth stage.

[The fifth stage: [Dominator Mechanic], [God Mechanic] stage mechanical skill level +3, you get a mechanical total affinity bonus factor of 1.1x, ability strength +28%, attack power bonus factor of 1.2x, Shield strength bonus factor 1.2x, mechanical creation energy core power +40%, output power +20%]

"Hey, this wave of bonuses is awesome!" Han Xiao was pleasantly surprised.

In the first few stages, the production and R\u0026D capabilities were mainly improved, but when it reached the fifth stage, it finally ushered in a wave of substantial combat strength enhancement. The total affinity coefficient of 1.1x has increased by at least 2000% of the machine affinity. Not to mention that there is the most powerful ability strength bonus, and several other effects are also biased towards combat.

And the abilities of [Master Mechanic] and [God Mechanic] are his current main battle skills. Breaking through the upper limit and raising it by 3 levels will greatly help the combat power. At least there will be 3 more places for apostle weapons.

"In other words, the focus of the fifth stage is to enhance the efficiency of the machine itself... huh?"

Han Xiao murmured, and suddenly found that the prompts on the panel were not over yet.

[[Divine Metamorphosis Machinery] has reached the fifth stage]

[Your life level undergoes an unknown change]

[You have a new understanding of machinery, the chance of forming exclusive specialties +15%, [All things simulation] skill sublimation]

[You perceive part of the power of the transformation route—[Unknown Specialty]]

[You get [First Sanctuary] skill fragment x1]

Seeing this, Han Xiao's heart moved and he secretly guessed.

"It seems that the fifth stage of divine transformation should be a threshold, just like there is a bottleneck of energy level standards in Transcendent A Grade... If it is inferred in this way, will every 5th floor be a threshold, then the divine transformation What's the upper limit? 10 floors? 15 floors?"

Han Xiao is thoughtful, he has a panel that can directly add points on it, and the method for normal Transcendent A Grade powerhouses to increase the number of layers of divine transformation cannot be as convenient and quick as their own, and they need to spend a lot of money to upgrade each layer time of year.

After reaching the fifth stage of the mechanical route's divine transformation, I got a [First Sanctuary] skill fragment, and I already have 3 pieces in my hand, but there is no sign of synthesis, and I don't know how many pieces are needed in total.

So far, Han Xiao still doesn't know how to get the exclusive expertise. If the premise is to be immersed in a certain field, then he has spent a lot of time in the mechanical field, but he has never been prompted.

As for [Simulation of Everything], Han Xiao is no stranger to it. He often used this ability to try to develop Cosmic Treasure blueprints, but the progress was impressive.

Seeing the prompt on the panel at this time, he activated the skill again, entered the familiar field of vision, and experienced it carefully, only to feel that there seemed to be some subtle changes in the dark.

But this kind of feeling is inexplicable. The more intuitive manifestation is that the thinking is more active than before. No matter what you look at, your brain maintains a way of thinking similar to "epiphany".

"There is always a feeling of pointing directly at the essence of things... Well, it's a bit of a taste of knowing things?"

Han Xiao experienced it for a while, and didn't find much, so he withdrew his ability, tidied up the venue, and flew to the palace.

Back in the room, Han Xiao took a look at the Black Star Cup event online.

Under Philip's scheduling and the input of massive resources, the qualifiers have been played very quickly, and nearly one-third of the players have been eliminated.

Before this, the interstellar citizens in many areas only knew about the existence of the players, and did not pay special attention to them. But this time, because the Black Star Cup was broadcast to the whole universe, the performance of the players fell into the eyes of more ordinary people, which aroused the public's concern. interest.

For the immortal lunatic like the player, most ordinary people are both curious and fearful. The mood is like meeting an exhibitionist, subconsciously covering their eyes, and can't help but open their fingers to peek.

Coupled with the player's behavior in Glittering World, the name of "cancer of the universe" gradually spread, and was endorsed by more and more people.

On the other hand, the excitement of the Black Star Cup has attracted a large wave of foreign players.

The size of the legion players has been steadily increasing, and finally broke through the tens of millions a few days ago. Han Xiao estimates that the final number of legion players at the end of the version will be higher than his previous estimate of 11.5 million.

The cancer of the universe represents chaos, and it is basically impossible to recruit all players, but today's Black Star Legion can already slightly guide the behavior of the overall players. If you can do some good things in this regard, so that the damage caused by the players is not as serious as in the previous life, it will be enough merit.

"Speaking of which, my biographical movie seems to be released soon..."

Han Xiao suddenly realized that he hadn't touched Fording for a long time, and he remembered this by the way.

He searched the Internet, and found that the filming of the movie has already been finished, and it is scheduled for next month.

Because the productivity of the interstellar society is developed, ordinary people can afford the cost of making movies, resulting in a flood of movies, coupled with the advancement of portable communication equipment and the popularity of quantum networks, the theater business model with meager profits has almost been eliminated, and the mainstream model has already become The online video platform system has been established, and the new film will be released simultaneously on the platforms of each star field, and you can watch it online.

The name of the movie is unpretentious, called "Black Star: Origin". This one tells his story on Seablue Star, from escaping from the bud to stepping into the interstellar. Because of the limited time, director Benny Travor cut out many deeds and kept only the backbone to control the rhythm of the film.

Han Xiao had seen the rough-cut version of the film before. This well-known director really has the ability to film his experience with ups and downs. In the end, he stepped into the interstellar world and left the opportunity to extend the sequel.

In the trailer, after makeup, Fording put on the costume of Great Technician Han during the Black Phantom period, and moved around in the screen with a face that kills both men and women.

Looking at this scene, he could only think of descriptions such as "as graceful as a flying dragon" for a while.

"It's so handsome..." Han Xiao was very satisfied, "It restores my character image very well."

He glanced at the forum, and the players were also very interested in this movie. On the one hand, they wanted to see the story of Black Star being made into a movie, and on the other hand, they wanted to see them appear in the movie.

There are also scenes of immortals in the movie. Seeing one's own deeds being made into a movie by NPC makes players feel very novel and has a strong sense of substitution.

"After this movie is released, maybe it can enhance the cohesion of the legion players like the meat bun video... If it works, I can ask that director to make more sequels."

Secretly remembering this, Han Xiao continued surfing the Internet for a while, and found another piece of news that caught his attention.

The Scarlet Empire announced that two Transcendent A Grades would be publicly executed by the Dark Emperor in ten days, one was a traveler, and the other was an innocent person hired by the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance.

"Is it finally time to stand up..." Han Xiao pursed his lips.

In this way, the contradiction between the Transcendent A class and the universe-level civilization will become more acute. Although there is still a long way to go before the outbreak, the seeds of dissatisfaction will only increase.

However, the goal of the three major civilizations this time is not the Transcendent A class, but the Transcendent star cluster alliance, to scare away those Transcendent A grades hired by the Transcendent star cluster, so as to cut off the opponent’s wings—the three major civilizations have already begun to prepare for future suppression. get ready.

...

On the other side, the Flickering World Free Competition Zone, the site of Star Arc Civilization.

In the teleconference room, a group of senior officials with real power had grim faces.

"The empire has captured the traveler and intends to execute him publicly. What should we do?"

"I have no choice but to give up on him. We can't break out with the three major civilizations yet... Although it will happen sooner or later, we are not ready yet."

"It's a pity, the traveler is loyal to civilization, this is a huge loss."

"The question now is whether the traveler has revealed his true identity. If the empire knows his background, it will have an excuse to provoke disputes, and we will be mainly targeted."

"The traveler should not betray civilization, but this kind of thing is uncertain. We must be prepared and cannot recognize his identity."

Everyone was chattering and worried.

The three major civilizations want to suppress the Transcendent star cluster civilization, but it doesn't mean that they will launch troubles just because they are all advanced civilizations in the universe, and they must find a reason to provoke things, even if they are unfounded. As the rulers of the three major civilizations, they must occupy the moral high ground, no matter whether the reason is true or not, anyway, as long as the teacher is famous, an explanation to the public is enough.

Therefore, the Transcendent star cluster civilization often keeps a low profile, unwilling to give the three major civilizations a handle, and the sense of existence in the universe is not strong.

On the other hand, the strength of the Transcendent star cluster civilization is only below the universe-level civilization, and it cannot be rounded and flattened casually. Although the three major civilizations clamor to suppress them every day, they also need to be fully prepared.

Whether it is the three major civilizations and the Transcendent star cluster alliance, they have maintained restraint for the time being. Both sides understand that this is just the calm before the storm. Everyone must have a battle around the development of the new star field.

The superstar cluster wants to fight for a glimmer of hope, and the result of this conflict will determine the future pattern of the explored universe.

...

"Forty thousand inal!"

"Forty-five thousand!"

"Forty-five thousand for the first time, forty-five thousand for the second time... No one bids anymore, okay, forty-five thousand for the third time, this antique produced by the Dogo civilization belongs to buyer No. 068."

On a certain planet in the ancient star desert, in a small private space station in outer space, a black market auction is going on.

The auction site is a circular room, with a booth in the center, where the auction items are placed, and the auction staff will introduce them to the side, while the surrounding walls are covered with dense virtual screens, and each screen represents a black market buyer participating in the auction remotely. At home, everyone's identity is kept confidential.

Because it is a remote auction, after the end, the lot will be delivered to the buyer's designated location through the interstellar logistics channel of the black market.

The auctioneer knocked on the table and said in a loud voice: "The next auction item is a one-time safe found by an archaeological team on a desolate planet. This item comes from the remains of an unknown civilization, which is suspected to be a galaxy-level civilization. It can be opened by using quantum network deciphering equipment, and it has not been opened yet, so what you can open depends on your luck...Of course, it is also possible to buy it back and keep it, the starting price is 4000 Enal."

Several staff members moved the dark and smooth triangular device onto the stage, which was exactly what Harrison and others had dug up.

Meanwhile, Harrison's team was in a VIP room watching live from the venue.

"I've been busy for a long time, and the starting price is only 4,000 inals. This auction house is too stingy." The short explorer looked depressed.

"Black market auctions are like this." The captain has rich experience, "Don't worry, the most indispensable thing in the black market is local tyrants who like to try their luck. I estimate that the official transaction volume can reach more than 20,000."

"Twenty thousand is not much." The short explorer muttered, "It's not as good as robbing graves and digging up antiques..."

Harrison on the side was a little worried, "Is this auction house safe?"

"Don't worry, I'm a regular visitor here. This is the property under the name of Gorutan, the ancestor of the beast. No star robber dares to rob the road, and the safety is guaranteed...etc."

The captain suddenly paused and said uncertainly:

"It seems that Gorutan fell from power a while ago?"

"No way, you even forgot such a big news?!"

The short explorer stared wide-eyed and hurriedly asked:

"There shouldn't be a problem with the transaction, right? I still want to buy a present for Ah Xiang!"

"It should be fine..." The captain also hesitated now, "The ancestor of the beast fell, this black market auction house should have found a new backer, nothing will go wrong... right?"

Harrison covered his face, unable to bear to look directly.

This group of people is too unreliable, I'll do it alone in the future...

At the same time, more than a dozen battleships are lurking not far from this planet. This is a gang of predators that roams around the ancient star desert.

In the main ship, the leader of this star thief group led a group of men, looking at the planet outside the porthole.

"Captain, are we really going to rob them? I heard that this auction is the property of the ancestor of the beast, so it's not easy to mess with..."

"What are you afraid of? The Beast Ancestor has been captured by Black Star. His power has been disintegrated and he has been kicked out by other black market managers. Others have taken over his team, and the integration has not yet been completed."

The leader of the star robbers smiled, with greed in his eyes, and a ferocious expression:

"I have already inquired. The Beast Ancestor warriors protecting the logistics channel of this auction have already withdrawn. Without the Beast Ancestor's troops, they are very vulnerable now!"
