Super Mechanic: The God of Superpowers!

Chapter 165 Racial Evolution (I)

At this moment, the usually taciturn Aroshia suddenly spoke, her voice showing a rare hint of hesitation, and she added a few more words, contrary to her usual practice:

"Recently, I've noticed some kind of obstacle that's limiting the growth of my abilities. It should be the B-level bottleneck you mentioned."

"But strangely, this barrier isn't as difficult to break through as you described. It seems I can break through it at any time if I want to."

She paused for a moment, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the cuffs of her sleeves. "Also, I've been having frequent dreams lately. Those blurry images always have a sense of familiarity, but when I wake up, only fragments remain."

"Do you think this has something to do with my lost memories?"

Ye Xiu's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately understood what the other party was saying.

Indeed, Aroshia has been stuck at C+ rank for quite some time.

Given her astonishing speed of ability evolution, breaking through to level B was expected.

More importantly, she had to meet the first requirement of the A-level serial task [Restart].

It is precisely what is needed to help her improve her strength to the B-level standard, and the reward is quite attractive.

520 million experience points plus random reward opportunities.

Although he already has a task settlement card in hand, Ye Xiu will definitely not think that random rewards are too much.

Taking into account the energy fluctuations that might be caused by Aroshia's advancement, he directly stopped the spaceship on an uninhabited planet.

As for his upcoming second racial evolution, Ye Xiu planned to do it after returning to the Weiss Hub.

……

Aroshia planted her feet firmly on the ground, her eyes fluttering shut as her body gradually became suspended in the air.

Rays of brilliant light burst out from her body, stirring up a tide of energy within a radius of hundreds of meters, and the energy level rose exponentially.

The howling gale carried sand and gravel and raged, and the air waves spread out like ripples on the surface of a lake.

Ye Xiu and the others who were standing by the spaceship to watch had their sleeves blown by the strong wind and had fine grains of sand hitting their cheeks.

"That's a really loud noise." Caroline raised her hand to block the glaring light.

"Her awakening started at the peak of C-level. There is immeasurable energy dormant in her body. Promotion to B-level is just a natural result." Ye Xiu explained while staring at the energy core.

Caroline's mouth twitched slightly. "Am I the only one who thinks breaking through the boundaries is like crossing a chasm?"

Jason Wood placed his broad palm on her shoulder: "You must learn to be content."

The overflowing light energy fills the entire area like liquid metal, immersing the space into a kingdom of light.

Aroshia's energy radiation intensity and coverage have already surpassed previous peaks.

With the sound of high-frequency energy vibration, the light tide suddenly stopped expanding and collapsed towards the center at several times the speed.

Countless light particles converge into a spiral hurricane, forming a vortex at the core that devours everything.

When the brightness reaches the critical point, the entire space takes on a strange dark color.

All the energy was compressed to a singularity and then exploded. A faceless man of light condensed in the sky full of light fragments, with golden arcs of electricity dancing around him.

Under the guidance of the laws of supernatural power, energy gradually materialized and reshaped the entity of Aroshia.

The data displayed by the detector has exceeded the B-level threshold.

[Mission [Restart] First Round Completed!]
[Congratulations on earning 520 million experience points!]
[Resda's Favorability +5!]
"Rista is coming, it seems Xieguo is not far away." Ye Xiu's heart moved.

Temporarily putting away the system panel, he walked towards the woman who was closing her eyes and regulating her breathing: "How do you feel?"

"The energy reserves have increased significantly." Light particles danced on Aroshia's fingertips.

"What about other aspects?"

"The fragments of memory are becoming clearer." She rubbed her forehead gently. "Those images are calling me. Perhaps I can find the lost past."

Ye Xiu noticed the slight pain between her brows and stroked her temple with his fingertips.

At this moment, a new system prompt suddenly popped up:
[The second round of missions has begun: According to Aroshia's description, go to some places in his memory and help him retrieve the memory fragments.]
[Current progress: 0/? ? ?]
[Mission Reward: 1030 million experience points, Ruisida's favorability +5!]
[Mission failure condition: Aroshia dies!]
----------

After just a glance, Ye Xiu looked away.

After all, he is quite familiar with this task.

Looking at Aroshia in front of him, Ye Xiu suddenly felt that maintaining the status quo might not be a bad idea.

If those dusty memories were awakened, they might completely change her current personality traits and destroy the tacit understanding in front of her.

This thought made Ye Xiu hesitate for a moment - perhaps maintaining the status quo would be a safer decision?
But he knew very well that even if he deliberately avoided it, those fragments of memory would emerge on their own as time went by.

There is no guarantee that someone will not leave without saying goodbye.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiu understood that he would have to push forward this special mission after all.

At the same time, this fast-growing partner is a comforting prospect no matter how you look at it.

As the second core member of the mercenary group to be promoted to B-level, she is playing an important role in various fields.

Including Ye Xiu himself, the team now has three B-level fighters. Not only will the rating of the mercenary group be significantly improved, but it will also add a reliable backbone force.

With Aroshia's advancement complete, the spaceship set sail again and headed towards the Vais Hub.

On the spaceship, Ye Xiu regained his composure and began to choose his rewards:

[Random selection in progress...]
[Extraction completed! ]
[Congratulations! You received the following reward: [Props]!]
"Huh? Am I so lucky? Wouldn't Han Xiao next door be so pissed off if he saw this?" Ye Xiu touched his chin, feeling a little unbelievable.

[Please choose one of the following three props:]
[Victory Condom: Duration +999.999%;]
[Superpower Awakening Fluid (Regular Edition): 0.099% chance of awakening superpowers;]
[Skill Enhancement Card: 70% chance to enhance a skill, doubling its effect, and 20% chance to evolve the skill into a more powerful similar skill.]
----------

With a glance, Ye Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Without any hesitation, he directly chose the third option below the first option.

……

at the same time.

In a certain space at a supercluster-level distance from the Broken Star Ring, a Shadow-class stealth ship was hovering in deep space in absolute silence.

Its streamlined hull presents a perfect mirror-like obsidian texture, as if the entire galaxy was condensed into a two-dimensional image and printed on the surface.

When viewed from the vertical axis, it appears as a spindle-shaped outline, while the horizontal perspective reveals a complex geometric structure with ridges.

The ship belongs to the Glorious Federation's Shadow-class reconnaissance ship series, code-named "Blacklight Lurker".

The technological gap is created by the curvature shielding field, cross-dimensional sensor array and pulse jump engine it carries.

It is enough to put most interstellar civilizations into a cognitive dilemma.

In the illegal interstellar equipment trading network, damaged parts of such cutting-edge creations can be sold at a sky-high price of eight-digit Enas.

It is considered a performance benchmark in the field of deep space reconnaissance.

If we use the concept of old-era civilization as an analogy, the value of this ship is roughly equivalent to the limited edition antimatter-driven concept car launched by an Italian supercar brand.

Just a ten-millionth of a millisecond ago, a quantum resonant wave with unique Fourier characteristics penetrated the dimensional barrier and precisely activated the teardrop-shaped crystal device on the top of the cockpit. The communication terminal, blocked by multiple encryption protocols, suddenly began to pulse with light.

The originally empty captain's seat suddenly experienced a photon condensation phenomenon, materializing a translucent human silhouette.

The energy body extended its mimic palm composed of Klein Field and lightly touched the device:
"Finally captured the characteristics of the dissipated energy. The original coordinates have shifted to the broken star ring section."

With the hum of the quantum communication channel opening, the command was transmitted through the neural synaptic interface:

"Instantaneous jump protocol activated, target star field reset completed."

The entire starship completes the curvature bubble encapsulation within picoseconds, leaving only a fleeting bosonic tail in the observer's field of view.

This maneuvering mode, which breaks the conventional rules of physics, renders any traditional tracking methods ineffective.

……

Time passed and the spacecraft soon returned to the Vais Hub.

As soon as the spaceship landed, Ye Xiu couldn't wait to return to his room.

However, before the second racial evolution, use the skill enhancement card you just obtained to avoid forgetting it later.

After thinking about it, Ye Xiu quickly decided which skill he wanted to strengthen, which was [Burning Will].

In Ye Xiu's opinion, this enhanced instantaneous output capability is still very helpful to him.

Especially if it can shorten the time between skills, this enhancement will definitely be worth it.

Ye Xiu's eyes flashed slightly. This special skill includes two modes: active activation and passive triggering.

The former requires a ten-minute charging cycle, and the latter has a cooling limit of up to half an hour.

Although the damage increase is considerable, the long skill vacuum period means that it can only be activated once or twice per battle.

If the cooling time can be shortened, combat efficiency will increase exponentially.

You know, the frequency of Ye Xiu's lightning attacks is ridiculously high.

This special skill he learned from Bennett is still Ye Xiu's core skill.

The protagonist's wealth is evident from this.

Ye Xiu's mind moved, and he immediately used the skill enhancement card:

[Skill Enhancement Card effect activated, target - [Burning Will] (lv10), enhancement has begun...]
[Congratulations on successfully triggering a skill mutation!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the new skill [Gene Liberation Level 1]!]
"Oh my god, the 20% success rate was actually triggered!" Ye Xiu couldn't hide his excitement.

In the panel, the original [Burning Will] has been replaced by the advanced version [Gene Liberation].

A large number of new energy utilization techniques are pouring into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Examining the updated skill panel, Ye Xiu was satisfied to find that not only had the cooling mechanism been optimized, but the original fluctuation defect had also been corrected.

The old version of the skill has four random amplification ranges, with a theoretical upper limit of up to five times the lethality.

But the probability of actually triggering high-level bonuses is very small.

Since mastering this skill, he has only successfully activated the top-level effect four times.

The new version adjusts the peak output to 4.8 times.

However, the random interval has been reduced to three levels, significantly improving damage stability.

The most critical innovation lies in the duration mechanism, and the amplification effect is no longer limited to a single attack.

Instead, it transforms into a buff state that lasts for 1.5 seconds.

For Ye Xiu, who excels at high-frequency fire coverage, this is a qualitative improvement.

What’s even more exciting is that this is only the basic level effect.

Ye Xiu invested a huge amount of experience points without hesitation and directly upgraded his skills to the maximum level.

The duration is extended to 2 seconds, the cooldown is reduced to 420 seconds, the three amplification levels are increased to the range of 220%-480%, and the health consumption is optimized to 800 points.

For him, who has nearly 30,000 life reserves and possesses the [Dawn of Life] ability, this level of cost is almost negligible.

"Huh? Wait, I can definitely find a skill that consumes health points but carries a huge amount of damage!"

Ye Xiu's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had instantly unlocked a new posture.

After the skill enhancement is completed, the next step is naturally to carry out the second racial evolution.

As for the high-end professional knowledge of the supernatural power department, Ye Xiu had already prepared it in advance.

Because they chose to bypass the regular camp contribution system, this private circulation of cutting-edge knowledge cost a huge amount of money.

The two professional knowledge directly consumed more than 800,000 Enas, and the account balance dropped sharply to 500,000.

But in Ye Xiu's opinion, the effort was totally worth it.

Money can be earned again, but the improvement of strength is permanent.

The two high-end knowledge are the energy level branches of [Third-order Gene Chain - Advanced Ability Enhancement].

And [Third-order gene chain - supernatural parasitism].

The former will greatly increase the power and durability of the ability.

The latter will attach something similar to [life] to the supernatural power, and the effect can be imagined.

Because only a portion of the knowledge was sold, Ye Xiu had to filter out the more practical content.

The high-end knowledge system of the supernatural department consumes potential points in a terrifying way: 3 points are required for initial learning of each knowledge, and another 3 points are consumed for each level upgrade.

It takes 225 points to upgrade all fifteen high-end knowledge items to level five. If the complete mastery of basic and advanced knowledge is taken into account, the total consumption will exceed 450 points.

Taking into account the existence of subsequent higher-level knowledge, Ye Xiu has strictly planned the use of potential points since the initial stage.

"Huh!" Ye Xiu took a deep breath, took out the task settlement card, and began to complete his advanced task.

[You have successfully used the [Task Completion Card]]
[Advanced Quest - [Trial of the Strong] Completed!]
[Congratulations on successfully completing the Level 100 Advanced Quest! Your Stamina bonus has been increased: 1 Stamina = 50 Health = 60 Stamina!]
"very good."

The dust settled, and even though Ye Xiu had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel relieved.

Unlike the first level 60 breakthrough of racial sublimation, this advancement will trigger a second genetic reconstruction.

The [Void Gene] expertise bestowed by the Void Dragon Marrow previously acquired now manifested as spider-web-like gray matter lines on the surface of the skin.

When the evolution option interface unfolded, the capillaries in Ye Xiu's pupils suddenly burst, and the diamond-shaped crystal core between his eyebrows burst out with a chaotic glow.

This indicates that a special evolutionary path is being activated.

At this moment, a dense array of evolution prompts popped up in front of my eyes:

[You have successfully taken a step forward on the path of evolution. Congratulations on obtaining the myth of the life level. Your current race has been detected as [Type I Cosmic Human]... Randomly selecting six suitable evolutionary directions...]
[Extraction completed! ]
[Please choose one of the following six options as your planned race - Warning! The evolution process is irreversible, please choose carefully! ! !]
[【II型宇宙人族】-93%契合度、【III型宇宙人族】-91%契合度、【东胜神族】-72%契合度、【虚空基因者（人形态）】-89%契合度、【中级基因生命】-29%契合度、【半雷龙人】-56%契合度]
"Except for the conventional Type II and Type III, the remaining ones seem to be pretty good, but if compared with this one..." Ye Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and had already made a decision in his heart.

[The selection is complete, and the evolution of the race has begun...]
[Evolution is complete!]
[Your race has been changed to: [Void Gene (Human Form)], your molecular structure has been improved, your organ structure has been strengthened, your metabolism has been altered... Your potential has been increased!]
[恭喜你获得基础属性的补充：力量+27、敏捷+46、耐力+14、神秘+25、智力+20、气力+585，气力等级加成效果已变更！]
[Your racial trait [Adaptive Group] has been changed!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the racial trait [Void Travel]]
[Congratulations on obtaining the racial trait [Void Mirror]]
[Congratulations on obtaining the racial trait [Gene Light]]
