Super Mechanic: The God of Superpowers!

Chapter 156: New Advanced Mission, It's All Han Xiao's Fault

Ye Xiu knew that the murderer was Sylvia, so he quickly controlled her and perfectly resolved the crisis.

After spending some more time, I successfully completed the task.

At the same time, as the season progresses, the Player Professional League is about to come to an end.

Regular post-match activities followed one after another - media special reports, team press conferences, annual awards ceremony and other events were carried out in an orderly manner.

Of course, these routine procedures did not attract much attention from Ye Xiu.

As the first season of the competition came to a perfect end, he was more concerned about the upcoming major changes: the game is about to launch a version update!
Ever since the first version went online three years ago, the natives of Planet Aquamarine have always been anxious about adapting to the sudden arrival of the "player community."

Now, during this special period of transition from version 1.0 to 2.0, these visitors from other worlds will disappear collectively again.

Under normal circumstances, six days in the game world are only equivalent to twenty-four hours in reality, and this time flow rate ratio is relatively constant.

But during the version iteration, the connection between the two time and space will be completely severed.

According to memory, the game will experience an update period of up to twelve months, while the real dimension will only pass three days.

It is worth noting that the time span of each version update varies, and when players return, it often corresponds to an important historical node in the Star Sea world.

And these key events ultimately constitute the core narrative of different versions.

"During the version upgrade period, I will lose an important source of experience points, and my action strategy must be more cautious." Ye Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he thought to himself.

"However, we can use this window of opportunity to further develop high-potential quest lines and systematically plan alternative methods for gaining experience and accumulating resources."

The main force behind the mercenary group must be the player group, supplemented by NPCs.

Both are very important.

After careful consideration, Ye Xiu thought about it and said to himself: "I can first concentrate resources on recruiting NPCs."

"Once the 2.0 expansion pack, Alienation Cataclysm, is released, players on Planet Aquamarine will officially be connected to the interstellar network."

"Therefore, this preparation period is just the right time to improve the 'infrastructure'."

Ye Xiu knew very well that version 2.0 would be the period of explosive profits.

The new forces that keep pouring in are just like the leeks that keep growing in the fields. They can never be cut and they will grow again with the spring breeze.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoshuai couldn't help but smile slightly.

His plan is to attract tens of thousands of players and develop the Alien Mercenary Group into one of the guides for players to enter the interstellar space.

However, this concept faces potential challenges—the two major organizations, Godora and DarkStar, will engage in a game on the planet during the Alienation Cataclysm.

When players are faced with the choice of camp in this situation, Ye Xiu's attempt to get a share of the pie in this competition is tantamount to playing with fire.

But the benefits are also obvious: when other forces focus on fighting each other, only he focuses on managing the player community.

The organization's attractiveness can be effectively enhanced through the distribution of special materials, such as various supernatural experience cards, etc., as well as the sense of identity created by immersive camp narratives.

Of course, to achieve large-scale recruitment, you must be two-fold prepared:

A growth support system for players (including skill library, task chain, achievement feedback, etc.) and a strategic plan to deal with alienation disasters.

The former maintains group stickiness, while the latter ensures participation in the plot.

Looking at the balance of over 800,000 Enas in his account, Ye Xiu began to plan his career path: "This amount of money is enough to acquire two high-level inherited knowledge and complete career advancement."

"But considering the impending transformation to a hundred-level race—the genetic optimization gained through the Void Dragon Marrow will bring about a qualitative breakthrough, especially since I'm a mutant, my genes have already changed."

“Therefore, even if Han Xiao and I both have the Void Dragon gene, there will definitely be a big difference.”

"It's just that the 15 billion experience points I currently hold aren't enough to support me to level 120. I can try the advanced quests at level 100 first."

During periods when there is a lack of experience replenishment from players, experience points must be allocated with extreme caution.

"Although special secondary jobs can bring additional benefits, the process of obtaining them is too complicated. As a psychic specialist, perhaps you should choose a more adaptable stat-boosting secondary job."

Thinking of this, Ye Xiu contacted Han Xiao and successfully obtained a key piece of information by asking Sylvia to become his disciple.

Moreover, he can get this secondary profession in the Weiss Hub. Although it is not very rare, the effect is simple and crude.

……

After completing the routine transportation work in the Longtan Star Region, Ye Xiu paid a brief visit to Ames' home as usual to report on the recent progress in finding her mentor.

"Hela and Aurora are both pretty good. I didn't expect you to have such good taste to find such an outstanding girlfriend." Ames sat lazily on the throne, speaking with a hint of surprise.

"Teacher~" Hea and Aurora beside him blushed when they heard this, lowered their heads, and didn't know what to say.

Although Hela is better, she is not that much better.

"I think so too." Ye Xiu smiled, very thick-skinned.

"Okay, remember to find my teacher as soon as possible." Ames said.

"Don't worry." Ye Xiaoshuai patted his chest muscles and said solemnly.

After returning to the Weiss Hub, he immediately drove the hover disc to the 58th floor of the skyscraper in the core area of ​​the hub.

This is where the completely neutral organization, the [Occult Research Association], is located. The name sounds grand and imposing, but it has nothing to do with supernatural powers. It is actually a platform for magicians to communicate across star regions.

The membership procedure is not complicated. You only need to pay a registration fee of 500 ENS to obtain basic membership.

As for Ye Xiu, after becoming a member he can obtain a secondary career.

The membership process went exceptionally smoothly. I entered my personal information, filled out the registration form, paid the dues, and chatted with the receptionist.

The entire process was completed smoothly, taking less than ten minutes from the moment we stepped through the door to the end.

As he exited the Association's main entrance, Ye Xiu flicked his fingertips to bring up the stat panel. The secondary class slot quietly updated with a gilded emblem—the Magician's logo loomed large. Without hesitation, he poured his accumulated experience into it. As five streams of light ascended in succession, this special secondary class instantly reached the bottleneck of Level 5, seamlessly integrating with the overall level system.

This type of job is called a growth-oriented secondary job, just like the current [Magician] job.

Each upgrade will strengthen specific attribute values ​​in a targeted manner, without generating free attribute allocation, only generating precious potential points.

The 10-point mystical boost per level makes the 50-point mystical leap from five consecutive upgrades seem particularly impressive.

As the core pillar of the supernatural ability structure, the mysterious value is directly related to the power of the supernatural power.

Ye Xiu's strategy of focusing on the development of mysterious attributes has enabled the current mysterious value of more than 80 points to be converted into an ability affinity gain of more than %.

At the same time, the sub-profession [Magician] provides the expertise [Magic Analysis]. Every time you learn certain magic tricks, you can gain mysterious attributes.

Among the many available secondary career options, this type of career with directional attribute growth has always been regarded by Ye Xiu as a strategic choice.

Every player can easily unlock this type of attribute-assisted expertise.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you know such a thing exists.

After all, sometimes intelligence is more valuable than what it is related to.

Getting back to the point, this secondary profession has a very obvious amplification effect and has characteristic skills that can be developed.

Even in the late game, it still has high value.

Therefore, many top players will specifically choose one or two attribute professions, which shows their practicality.

The most legendary of all attribute professions is the "Luck" branch. The name alone reveals its special mechanism - [Fate Manipulator] or [Gambler]!
He clearly remembered the core rules of this profession: successfully obtaining resources through gambling, betting and other behaviors.

The luck value will be increased in proportion to the income. The higher the cumulative income, the greater the increase.

However, if there is a continuous loss, it will weaken the lucky attribute in reverse, which perfectly fits the dialectical relationship between the name of the profession and the nature of luck.
To be honest, Ye Xiu was quite attracted by this special profession. After all, the lowest point was zero, but the benefits of success would increase exponentially!

After briefly experiencing the clarity of mind brought by the upgrade, he turned his attention to the system interface.

Checking the level 100 breakthrough mission is the current primary goal.

However, just by glancing at the task requirements, Ye Xiu's mouth twitched slightly.

"It's all Han Xiao's fault. It must be his fault. He's also affected my luck. I guess I have to find an opportunity to get the Gambler class later."

The advanced tasks themselves are not complicated, but the difficulty coefficient increases exponentially due to the current level.

[Congratulations on reaching level 100. You can continue to level up after completing the advanced tasks!]
[Advanced Quest - [Trial of the Strong]: Kill a powerful enemy whose combat power is one tier higher than yours.]
This was not the first time he had encountered a mission to kill a powerful enemy of a higher level. The requirements back then were completely different from the current ones.

"Challenging an A-level existence with B-level strength?" Ye Xiu frowned. As the rank increased, the gap between each level was like a chasm.

"Fortunately, I have a clone. Even if it's a disaster-level expert, it doesn't mean I can't fight."

Thinking of this, Ye Xiu couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Although it still feels very troublesome, there is finally a glimmer of hope and possibility.

Of course, we must also know that A-level super-powered people are terrifying beings that can destroy the entire surface ecology of a planet with their individual strength, second only to the legendary S-level interstellar strategic deterrent.

Such powerful people are capable of establishing independent forces among the stars and even influencing the structure of the galaxy.

In comparison, Class B belongs to the core combat power of the interstellar society, while Class A is a strategic-level deterrent force. The difference in numbers between the two is as high as ten thousand times.

This is basically a gap across dimensions!
Ye Xiu closed his eyes and calmed his mind. Since the system had locked the task, it was useless to worry anymore.

The road to advancement must continue, and the only way to break through is to find another way.

"Even those at the same A-level have different strengths. Perhaps I can find those with weak defenses." Ye Xiu touched his chin and thought to himself.

"But even the weakest A-rank is far beyond my limits. A head-on confrontation is a dead end, so I have to devise a special tactic. Fortunately, the rules allow for indirect means, otherwise I would have to give up on treatment."

"First, we must lock onto the appropriate target and retrieve potential targets from the memory bank. Second, we must construct a complex weakening plan."

"That is, we must deplete the target's combat power to the maximum extent possible before engaging in combat, seizing the critical flaw and delivering the final blow."

"Otherwise, facing a fully formed A-rank being, any conventional means would be meaningless."

"The rules allow for non-frontal killing, so theoretically, only the final execution is required. The ideal scenario would naturally be to execute prisoners who have lost the ability to resist, but this is simply not realistic at the current level."

"The major powers' control over Class A prisoners is impenetrable, and they would never allow outsiders to interfere."

"Therefore, this trial will eventually require facing an A-rank expert, even if it's just a target with residual combat power."

It was obviously impossible to complete the advancement task quickly at the moment. Ye Xiu secretly thanked God that he did not rush to advance his career, otherwise the loss would be huge.

"Although there are many targets, each one is not simple and must be planned carefully," Ye Xiu thought in his mind.

Soon, he regained his composure and saw that it was time for dinner. He took out a metal bottle of wine that glowed with a cold light from the locker and started the smart cooking device.

The robotic arm quickly brought out the sealed heated lunch box, and when the tin foil was removed, a combination of sauce-colored meat steak and chickpeas could be seen.

Sitting down on the leather sofa with a simple dinner, the sound of the metal spoon and the lunch box colliding was particularly clear in the silent space.

Halfway through the meal, there was a noise at the main door.

The cadres returned one after another, with Jason Wood walking in front, biting a thin wooden stick.

Caroline kept talking to Aroshia, who looked indifferent.

Aroshia changed into a dress, and Ye Xiu knew at a glance that it must have been chosen by Caroline.

After all, according to her personality, if no one accompanies her shopping, she would rather stay at home and get moldy.

While Ye Xiu was out on business, several cadres went shopping in the commercial street and had a meal on the way.
