Chapter 116 Random Rewards

Having dismissed the task reward notification, Han Xiao looked at his accumulated random reward opportunities. Adding the [Bloodline] reward, he had a total of six chances.

"With six chances, the probability should be high. Since I have enough, let's give it a try." Han Xiao pondered for a moment and simply started settling the random rewards.

Luck affected the drop rate of various good items, but task settlement cards were lower-value rewards. Han Xiao didn't want to wait until he returned to headquarters to touch Fording before drawing; a dark face might actually increase the odds of getting the card.

[Drawing in progress... Draw completed]

[The reward type you have obtained this time is: [Item]]

[Please choose one of the following three rewards]

[1. Double Experience Card (x2)]

[2. Blank Character Arrival Card (x1)]

[3. Large Experience Crystal (x3)]

Nothing on the first try... Han Xiao was used to it, his expression unchanged. He glanced at the options and chose the Blank Character Arrival Card, planning to use it later when he hung out with Ames.

[Drawing in progress... Draw completed]

[The reward type you have obtained this time is: [Item]]

[Please choose one of the following three rewards]

[1. Energy Enhancement Aura (Fashion)]

[2. Random Dungeon Crystal (x1)]

[3. Ability Awakening Fluid (Normal Version)]

Han Xiao clicked his tongue. He had drawn item-type rewards twice in a row, but no settlement card. This wasn't ideal.

"The things I've drawn this time are ordinary..." Han Xiao rubbed his chin, looking helpless. As expected, touching Fording and not touching Fording had different effects; the luck aura was truly strong. He really wanted it.

Seeing that there was nothing good, Han Xiao simply chose the "Energy Enhancement Special Effect Aura." It was a cheap, aura-type fashion item that enhanced the light and shadow effects of energy release, making the energy blasts look thicker and larger, which was intimidating, but it didn't have much practical use. Style was everything.

[Drawing in progress... Draw completed]

[The reward type you have obtained this time is: [Feat]]

[Please choose one of the following three rewards]

[1. [Golden Ratio Body]: Strength +3%, Agility +3%, Endurance +3%, Charm +75]

[2. [Electrifying Eyes]: Charm +25, Luck +5]

[3. [Sadist]: Mystery +120, Charm -50]

"What the hell are these..." Han Xiao's eyes twitched.

That was the good thing about having bad luck; you could always see bizarre things.

The second and third options were useless to him. Han Xiao chose [Golden Ratio Body], which was better than nothing. He sighed helplessly and started the fourth random reward.

[Drawing in progress... Draw completed]

[The reward type you have obtained this time is: [Item]]

[Please choose one of the following three rewards]

[1. Task Settlement Card (x1)]

[2. Small Experience Crystal (x13)]

[3. Race Sublimation Option Reorganization Card Fragment (x2)]

Han Xiao's eyes lit up. After spending four random rewards, he finally got a settlement card! Success!

He directly chose the Task Settlement Card and patiently used the remaining two random rewards. He drew 2 million experience points and a common skill, [Skull Crusher], which increased the critical hit rate by 40% when attacking the enemy's head, with a cooldown of 8 seconds.

"Getting one settlement card out of six chances is okay, I guess. At least it solves my immediate problem."

Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he got one, it wasn't a loss. He could solve the current advancement mission. After completing the advancement, the experience would be used up, and he wouldn't be in a hurry. He had seven years to slowly collect more settlement cards.

Han Xiao immediately used the freshly baked Task Settlement Card.

[You have used [Task Settlement Card]]

[[Self-Challenge] is being settled... Settlement completed!]

[Level 200 Advancement Mission completed! Advancement successful! Endurance bonus increased! 1 Endurance = 145 Health Points = 155 Stamina Points]

His heart suddenly shook, as if pumping out boiling lava, instantly filling his entire body. Han Xiao took a deep breath, feeling as if his body was melting and his cells were undergoing subtle sublimation.

The pain lasted for a while before slowly fading. Han Xiao exhaled roughly, covered in sweat, but his complexion was very full, as if he had just exercised, and he was radiant, with heat rising from his body.

The level restriction had been lifted. Han Xiao took a deep breath and put all the accumulated experience into leveling up, going from level 200 to level 207.

[[Apostle Mechanic] raised to Lv12, Vigor +240, Strength +3, Agility +4, Endurance +5, Intelligence +10, you gain 8 free attribute points, 1 potential point]

The experience was finally exhausted!

Accumulated experience was just a number; only when it turned into combat power did it have value. The experience accumulated in version 2.0 had been almost completely used up. With everything digested, Han Xiao felt the power surging in his body. This was his current peak state.

"I finally spent all the experience..." Han Xiao looked at the notification and found that the Tier bonus had also changed.

When reaching the A-grade standard of 10,000 units of energy combat power, one would receive the A-grade Tier bonus. Later, the Tier bonus would be enhanced for every additional 10,000 points of Oner.

The original effect was an additional +10 to Endurance bonus, +8% to all resistances, +10% to the highest attribute, +5% to other attributes, and an additional 30 free attribute points and 5 potential points.

After the Tier bonus was upgraded, it became an additional +15 to Endurance bonus, +12% to all resistances, +15% to the highest attribute, +8% to other attributes, and an additional 80 free attribute points and 10 potential points.

He threw most of the free attribute points into Intelligence. Han Xiao drew out 40 points and threw them into Endurance—now the benefits of Endurance were very high, and the early all-Intelligence stat allocation had accumulated a lot of Intelligence, which had become very high under the bonus of various Feats, so he could slow down for a while.

Moreover, after the battle with the Heterogeneous God, Han Xiao was quite wary of the Super-A Grade's attack power. Adding points to Endurance was definitely not a loss.

Then, he browsed through his current attribute panel.

[Total Level: 207]

[Main Class: Mechanic]

[Race: Void Distorter (Human Form)]

[Attributes: Strength 504, Agility 946, Endurance 1040, Intelligence 2859, Mystery 432, Charm 214, Luck 1]

[Lv12 Vigor Total Bonus: Strength +169, Agility +239, Endurance +269, Intelligence +336, Mystery +206, Stamina Limit +32520, Mechanical Affinity +352% (Super Electromagnetic Induction)]

[Energy Level: 24668]

[Tier: A+]

[A-Grade Tier Bonus: Endurance bonus additional +15, all resistance +12%, the highest attribute +15%, other attributes +8%, extra 80 free attribute points, 10 potential points]

[As a Mechanic, you are first-rate. As a meat shield, you are super first-rate. Are you really not considering abandoning mechanics and cultivating martial arts?]

Tsk, mechanics are the only way. Learning martial arts can't save the Chinese people.

Han Xiao snorted.

He had spent a full three years to change his class, but the advancement from successfully changing his class to the present had been very smooth; it was a case of accumulating strength for future success.

This advancement was not a Race Sublimation, so the magnitude of the change was not large, but the Health Points increased very quickly. Compared to before the advancement, his health had increased by a full quarter. The higher the level, the greater the difference in health between him and low-level characters.

Han Xiao couldn't imagine how tanky the Overlord was. Not only was his defense terrifying, but he probably had millions of health points. His whole body was hard, and he must be a pervert.

"Level 207, closer to Super-A Grade. I've used up all the experience I accumulated. At the experience level of version 2.0, seven years might allow me to level up four or five levels. If I want to level up quickly, I can only wait for the version 3.0 players to return... Next, I'll accumulate more task settlement cards."

Han Xiao thought to himself.

…

With the [Bloodline] mission over, Han Xiao returned to headquarters and rested for a few days. Taking advantage of the fact that the holiday had not ended, he flipped through the legion's mercenary department's employment list, looking for suitable missions and returning to the world to accept employment.

The news of Black Star coming out to do missions quickly spread throughout the Colton Star Cluster, immediately shocking many forces. With Han Xiao's current status, where did he need to personally carry out employment missions?!

And weren't you at war? Did you still have the leisure to personally generate income?!

Was the Secret War not stressful for you at all?!

The employers throughout the Colton Star Cluster were excited. With Black Star's strength, what mission was there to fear being unable to complete? In an instant, the Black Star Army's mercenary department's business increased threefold, all aiming for Han Xiao.

The employers who successfully hired Han Xiao were flattered instead. Although they were employers, their attitude towards Han Xiao was like facing a superior, not daring to neglect this powerful figure with Super-A Grade potential.

Han Xiao's current strength in carrying out employment missions could be simply described in one word: reckless!

Whether it was destroying rebels, clearing out beasts, or chasing down Star Pirates, he directly descended, kicked open the door, and crushed them. The enemies couldn't put up any decent resistance. Han Xiao spent more time on the road than in combat, making him frightening.

Because Han Xiao was acting alone, he thought Klent would repeat his old tricks and send people to assassinate him. However, after doing seven or eight employments in a row, everything was calm and peaceful, and he couldn't even see a hair of an assassin.

The matter of DarkStar had caused Klent to lose everything. Now, they were like frightened birds. Seeing Han Xiao wandering outside alone, they immediately had a special think tank team to speculate.

With Black Star's status, there was no need for him to personally do employments.

So it was obvious…

He was luring them to assassinate him!!

He must be trying to replicate the incident with the DarkStar leader and find an opportunity to shift the blame to them again. This person was very bad!

So the Klent people looked at Han Xiao wandering outside with a sneer. Hmph, his intention was too obvious, and they had already seen through it! They would never fall for his trick!

Moreover, Klent had just suffered a political blow and wanted to keep a low profile for a while. Klent also couldn't think of a way to threaten Han Xiao for the time being, so they didn't intend to assassinate Han Xiao. This was also one of the reasons.

While Han Xiao was doing employments to accumulate random rewards, the various departments of the Black Star Army were also developing steadily. They had applied to Godora for a number of technical personnel to train special talents in the Black Star Army.

The first investment in Vilna was burned out within three months. Reynold took out 150 million Enas at Han Xiao's request and added a second investment.

…

At the Longtann Floating Island port, a thousand battleships were docked, arranged neatly into different formations according to different battleship models. Among them, two huge flagships served as the core of the fleet.

The Star Pirate spacecraft were squeezed into the corner of the pier, trembling and daring not to object, because the external armor of these thousand battleships had a common pattern, drawing a light green Void Dragon head, with a throne below the dragon head, and a circle enclosing this symbol.

——This was the symbol of the Longtann Second External Affairs Force!

Vilna accompanied Izo and Jenny to inspect this troop at the pier with a few assistants.

"We now have a thousand battleships produced by galactic civilizations, 300,000 interstellar warriors, including 450 B-grade Supers, 240,000 C-grade Supers, and the rest are D-grade or below, mainly in management, logistics, transportation, and other positions."

Vilna introduced the current scale of the Longtann Second External Affairs Force to the two.

"In less than half a year, you have achieved such results. Well done." Izo said with praise.

Vilna said awkwardly: "It's mainly Black Star's help. I have difficulty even making money on my own."

"How much money did he spend?" Jenny asked with a frown.

"70 million Enas, and he invested another 150 million a few days ago..." Vilna swallowed. Even as a Calamity Grade powerhouse, she couldn't help but be shocked by Han Xiao's wealth.

"He's really willing to spend money..."

Jenny's frown relaxed, and she hummed softly, helplessly touching her gradually receding hairline.

"The maintenance cost of these troops is about 8.5 million Enas per month. Black Star is currently paying for the maintenance. This maintenance fee..." Vilna asked cautiously.

"It's a bit expensive." Jenny muttered subconsciously, suddenly pausing slightly.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that she had hardly ever given Han Xiao any assistance or maintenance fees. Although the Black Star Army was a Longtann external affairs force, it had always been self-sufficient and even had to hand over a portion of its profits to her every month.

Because the Black Star Army had hardly ever requested Longtann's assistance, she rarely thought about it. Only now did she realize that the Black Star Army was actually very worry-free and self-reliant. It was so enthusiastic about expanding its business also to earn maintenance fees... Jenny shook her head, feeling that she was really not a good director.

Izo interjected: "Black Star is helping you build troops at all costs. It seems that he is determined to leave. Vilna, you have to find a way to create revenue streams for this troop. In the future, the maintenance costs of this troop will be borne by us. We don't need too many external affairs troops, otherwise the costs will be too high. You can't just accept Black Star's assistance. You don't have his ability to make money, so you have to learn to control the scale."

"Okay, okay..." Vilna nodded hurriedly.

Jenny, who had been silent for a while, sighed and couldn't help but reveal her innermost feelings:

"Black Star is truly a rare talent."

Izo nodded, expressing his agreement with this statement, paused, and added helplessly.

"Unfortunately, he is growing too fast. A person with such talent will not serve others forever..."
