The Legendary Mechanic

The metal compartment was filled with scratches and holes, the bare energy lines were damaged and electric sparks were constantly splattered. The ship's compartment went through a fierce battle, the flames flared and burned, and the ground was filled with broken bodies.

A group of star warriors dressed in full-cover armor inspected the bodies with explosive guns and found survivors replenishing them.

The deceased crew are rock elves, an ancient mammalian race with rough yellow-brown skin, about three meters tall on average, bristly haired, although fleshy, but naturally solid as rocks, good at discovering rare ore and metallic resources, is a more powerful galactic civilization in the Sea of the Spirit.

These crew members, whose uniforms bear the symbol of civilization, attested to the fact that the ship belonged to the regular forces of civilization, but was attacked and defeated.

At the end of this cabin is a huge metal warehouse door with a warehouse inside it, and at this moment, a guy like the head of the attacker stands in front of a closed warehouse door and pulls out a disk device specially designed to crack the key, pressing it against the operating panel of the warehouse door, making high-frequency beeps.

The next moment, this warehouse door bursts open, unlocking mode slowly.

The leader of the attacker walked in with only a few hundred evolutionary totems neatly placed in the warehouse.

“Got the stuff, go check it out, move back to our boat. ”

The attacker's leader nodded satisfactorily, waved and ordered his men to do their job.

The Rock Pokémon purchased a bunch of totem devices from the Black Star Legion and leaked information that the attackers had ambushed ahead of time, with the aim of snatching these evolutionary totems.

The escort fleet that accompanied them was cleared by the attackers… a group capable of plundering the regular forces of a galactic civilization is clearly not a small figure.

The attackers are also interstellar mercenaries, but of a different nature, and there are roughly three types of mercenaries, the first being regular practitioners, such as the Black Star Legion, who are reported to be in the mercenary league; the second, independent mercenaries who are not registered with the interstellar mercenary league and do not have a business license; and the third, black market mercenaries who are active on the black market and willing to take over the black market.

“Black work” refers to criminal work that violates the general law of the stars and is commonly published on black market networks, such as looting, kidnapping, assassination of civilized officials, slaughter of planets, espionage infiltration, incitement to war, etc. Such black mercenaries are also criminals… in fact, the majority of those engaged in this industry are themselves wanted.

And the attackers, the black market mercenaries who specialize in black living, come from Blood Gold, one of the top black market mercenaries in the entire universe.

Blood Gold is a black mercenary force operating across the stars. The main active ranges are the Sea of the Stars, the Ancient Apocalypse, and the Old Nippon River. The movement of the members of the organization, the spacecraft and the base are quite hidden. The style of operation is low. The specific size of Blood Gold Organization is a secret, but it is obviously a huge thing to be able to operate in the three stars.

Meanwhile, Blood Gold is one of the top players in the interstellar black market.

Where there is trade control, black markets emerge, which continue to thrive and gradually form a vast pattern.

The black market also has a hierarchy of differences, distinguished by region from business scope, from planets to galaxies to star domains. As the first level moves up, the black market becomes more formal, to the highest level, is the interstellar black market, which covers almost all stars, and nominally dominates all black markets.

And this highest-ranking black market force, knowing how to get rich, won't be idle to give itself an independent name, called "Star Black Market," and the uninformed think it's just a noun.

Not all independent black markets, of course, are subject to the highest level of interstellar black markets, just as some uninvited little gangsters do not know how to mix the international community's giants.

The star black market is huge, the business is all over the universe, some civilizations always want to get advanced technology of civilization blockade, there is also a demand for the black market, so they close one eye and even act as an umbrella. On the other hand, the star black market is still a platform for the exchange of star criminals, it is a huge underground society.

Not all criminals exist for the sake of doing things. A large proportion of criminals are just for the sake of profit. They also need order and credibility. They need someone to set the rules. So the stewardship of the interstellar black market was born. They come from various grey industries such as black market mercenaries, intelligence organizations, smuggling trade, and the production of contraband, all of which are among the most powerful organizations.

Blood Gold is one of the black market regulators, equivalent to the dominant crocodile of the underground criminal world.

The Fallen Ark is not a black market administrator. The black market administrators are basically evil in order and likewise do not like to confuse evil infidels. Although they are also criminal forces, they are not on either side of the road. After the collapse of the Fallen Ark, the organization admitted a large number of criminals to help them get laid off and re-employed.

A cadre came to the leader and watched his men carry the evolutionary totem. He couldn't help but smile.

“Now the evolutionary totem on the black market is being fired at a very high price, and as far as I know, a lot of civilizations are secretly purchasing, and if we swallow this shipment, how much do you say we can sell? ”

“Don't be ridiculous, it's the employer's thing. Our job is to bring the goods back. Do you dare to swallow them?” The leader shook his head.

After a year and a half of operation, Evolutionist Totem's business has basically stabilized. Some civilizations that have invested in other glorious and spiritual civilizations are unlikely to be associated with the Empire and can only distort their minds, while some large consortia of stars have been watching for so long and have begun to move.

Nobody forgot the achievements of Black Star a year and a half ago, robbing the Black Star Legion was too difficult to operate, these forces retreated to second place, choosing to rob the fleet carrying evolutionary totems, and Tiger stared at every purchasing civilization.

Because this is contrary to the general law of the star sea, the black market mercenaries represented by the Blood Gold Organization have been put to use, and the evolutionist Totem is now priceless on the black market, short of supply and demand.

Tooten, the rock elf's evolutionist, was robbed, and the group returned to the ship, blowing up all the ship's wreckage and turning around to leave.

In recent months, a similar scene has appeared many times in all corners of the universe.

……

Broken rings, Black Star Legion headquarters.

“Another user who purchased Evolutionist Totem was robbed halfway? ”

In the Legion Leader's office, Han Xiao shut down the Players' Forum and looked at Sylvia's remote projection, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled.

“Yes, counting the Rock Pokémon, thirteen customers of galactic civilization have been plundered and thousands of evolutionary totems have landed on the black market. ”

“Where was it robbed? ”

“In the Sea of the Stars, the identity of the usurper is unknown and the initial judgement should be the same as that of the perpetrators of the previous murders. ”

Han Xiao touched his chin, “Watch the black market. If there was no trafficking in evolutionary totem on the black market for some time, it should still be done by black market mercenaries, and they gave it to the employer. ”

“Teacher, do we need to deal with this? ”

“Never mind, I'm not responsible for after-sales, buying things, not protecting myself well, it's none of my business... of course if they hire my mechanical unit, then forget it.” Han Xiao waves, "what did the Rock Pokémon say? ”

“They said they wanted the regiment to send them another batch. ”

“Send a batch? Not buying?”

“Yes, they say they know evolutionists have low totem costs and are reluctant to spend more and think we should give them another set... you also know Rock Elves have a straighter personality.” Sylvia shrugged helplessly.

“It is a matter of principle to tell them that I do not open the insurance business and buy again if I want, and that free compensation does not exist. ”

Han Xiao shook his head. If he opened his mouth, maybe there would be a civilized game of self-defense to compensate for the theft. He wouldn't do it if he bought or sold the money.

However, it is inevitable that civilizations may enter into private agreements with other forces, deliberately pretending to have been stolen, thereby indirectly helping other civilizational procurement evolutionists who are not close to the Empire to tote.

However, Han Xiao does not mind that the more evolutionary totems sold are taken away, the more he sells, the wider the market, and even can help him share the pressure. Evolutionary totems can only be used if they are energized. He is not at a loss.

It was the Empire, not him, who needed the headache, and he could accept it if he didn't grab the head of the Black Star Legion directly.

“Understood. That's what I told them. ”

Sylvia turned off the remote projection.

Han Xiao exhaled, leaned back, leaned against the chair, and pondered.

Over the past year and a half, the Black Star Legion has been operating steadily, gradually digesting the results of rapid expansion, consolidating operations and developing well. He has finally acted like a mechanic - the main house is at home mindfully building machinery, expanding the size of the Legion, the mechanical units are out there, doing random rewards for tasks, and extracting task clearing cards.

His reserves of experience also accumulated, and he took out some points of accumulated potential for upgrading drawing skills to upgrade the ultimate knowledge, during which he traded 6000 Imperial Contributions for the fifth ultimate knowledge, [Ultimate Mechanical Engineering] of the Armed Department.

This knowledge is related to manufacturing machinery, greatly enhances manufacturing technology and line power, and unlocks a large number of combinable drawings, giving a specialty [Ultimate Manufacturer] and a skill [Inspirational Creation].

[Ultimate Manufacturer] The effect is simple and practical, the mechanical creation produced, the basic performance improved by 25% ~ 30%, the production speed increased by 300% ~ 500%, obviously, this is the specialty used for rioters.

[Inspiration Creation] is an inactive skill, the activation condition is that [Ultimate Mechanical Engineering] reaches LV5 full grade, the effect is to randomly combine an unlimited number of drawings, randomly synthesize one or more improved or fused new drawings, and can also make advanced settings, choose the propensity of synthetic drawings (attack, defense, etc.), demand functions, etc., more stable than free creation, inevitably can be shipped.

Skills consume experience… massive experience.

For players who cannot change their drawings autonomously, this skill is magical, but Han Xiao himself can improve the drawings, and this skill is of little use... but it is not a chicken rib, it also has an irreplaceable role:

—— [Inspirational Creation] There is a small chance to synthesize drawings of cosmic treasure-grade machinery, which is the only way for a mechanic to create gold equipment independently!

Now Han Xiao holds two cosmic treasures, he doesn't mind one more, but synthesizing cosmic treasure-grade mechanical drawings is not that easy. This is not like gambling drawings, there is no fixed combination, even if the combination, the synthesised drawings still have a high degree of randomness.

In previous life, there were players who happened to synthesize cosmic treasure grade mechanical drawings, but there were two problems, one was that only the information of the drawings was released, and no one publicly combined them, and second... Even with the drawings, there were no mechanical players in previous life who actually made gold grade machines.

The prerequisites of the drawings are too strict, there is virtually no possibility of manufacturing below level A, and the player naturally does not meet the conditions.

[Inspirational creation] temporarily left behind by Han Xiao, the first is to bring [Ultimate Mechanical Engineering] to full grade, there are too many potential points of demand, and the second is that he has a lot of experience in trying to synthesize cosmic treasure grade drawings, but he lacks experience in other aspects, and he has to leave a huge reserve for the version update period, so he dares not waste it - for him, as long as he does not gamble on cosmic treasure grade drawings, his experience in investing in this skill is wasted.

Over the past year and a half, the Gulal Civil War has been set, moving forward, the process is no surprise, the Pioneer Party is about to win, but the attention of the players is now focused on the opening of the third professional league.

As the number of players skyrocketed, so did the heat of the professional league, which was noticeable, the division, like the second round, was the Nine Games, and the tournament was fine-tuned.

Secondary leagues and preliminaries, for example, started six months ago, allowing plenty of time for the preliminaries to fully mobilize the enthusiasm for more players to re-engage, while also deciding on card slots and regular lists before the official opening of the professional leagues.

Han Xiao was just watching a video of the Preliminary Games in the forum, watching some players play rough, and harvesting the happiness of today's sand sculpture.

In the official contest, three special forms of combat will be added in addition to the battle of the ring, the group, the individual battle and the battle of survival of the team.

The first is the flag snatching competition, in which multiple teams participate in a mixed battle, each player can be revived indefinitely and finally won by points.

Second, team replica matches, multiple teams enter the same replica and compete to complete the task objectives set by the competition party to earn points.

Third, the battle for survival of the duplicate, as the name implies, is spelled out as the living (suffering) time of both parties in the duplicate, and the previous life is also known by the players as the "race to hold urine”.

This league is rich in battle formats, and the goal of the competition is to enhance competitiveness and fun by adding two replica battle formats to attract more PVE players.

Pre-season tournaments shared by the team are also advanced, until the sub-leagues and preliminaries are finished, and the regular tournament is opened directly as the league, followed by the regular divisional tournament, the international star tournament, the divisional finals, the international regular tournament, the international final, the gap between the international tournament and the divisional tournament is as short as the previous tournament, and the tournament is as tight.

The rules of this league are also many times more detailed than the previous two sessions, including the addition of the "Prop Prop List". Not surprisingly, the [Black Star Legion Medal · Evolution] is directly at the top of the list!

Legion players don't feel much, because everyone can use it, so they don't feel special, but the clubs in the other stars are a big sip loose - this equipment is really too strong, if the broken star ring player has one hand, they can directly count it down!

However, Han Xiao thought it was more than that. I'm afraid it was too bloody and ugly after the distortion. It was easy to frighten the flowers and grass. It was not in line with the original intent of the competition to attract popularity...

Ugly, without human rights, it is the truth.

This was yesterday, at night.
