[You have gained 1 point of Legend.]

"So, the feedback from the [Divine Item] is this kind of good stuff."

Han Xiao's eyes lit up.

[Divine Item] is a class-specific perk that comes with advancing to God Seat Mechanic. It only takes effect when crafting Universe Treasure-level items. Successful crafting grants extra bonuses, and this was the first time he'd seen the specific feedback. He was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Han Xiao previously didn't know of any channels other than advancement to obtain Divine Metamorphosis points, but now he had finally found a new path: crafting Universe Treasure-level equipment.

The same blueprint cannot be acquired repeatedly, meaning that even if he created another golden-quality Emperor Mech, he wouldn't get new Divine Metamorphosis points, so he needed to get other golden blueprints.

Han Xiao was a little curious. Other Beyond Grade A Mechanics in history had also created Universe Treasures, but the information provided by the dynasty didn't mention this method of Divine Metamorphosis.

After a moment's thought, he had a vague guess.

Presumably, some of the Beyond Grade As who created Universe Treasures hadn't met the prerequisite requirements for Divine Metamorphosis, so they couldn't perceive this effect, such as Austin.

As for the Beyond Grade As who knew, perhaps they hid it out of selfishness or other reasons, and didn't report it... or perhaps it was deliberately concealed by advanced civilizations.

It was even possible that other Beyond Grade As didn't have a panel, and only he could obtain Divine Metamorphosis points through this channel!

Of course, perhaps it was purely that the dynasty didn't know this secret, while the other two did. After all, the three Universal Civilizations weren't a family and wouldn't share secrets.

"The problem I'm facing at my current level of personal power has finally touched the knowledge blind spot of Universal Civilizations... That's right, the dynasty doesn't even know about the First Sanctum."

Han Xiao shook his head slightly.

"I still have the Emperor's Robe blueprint in my hands. If I make it, I can get another Divine Metamorphosis point. As expected, improving strength by making things is the proper style for a Mechanic."

Han Xiao thought to himself.

As for randomly reducing attributes in exchange for free attribute points, the effect was similar to resetting stats. Each time a level was gained or a species sublimated, various attributes would automatically increase, and resetting stats could add some unnecessary attribute points to the main attributes, which could slowly optimize one's combat power, which was still quite useful.

Han Xiao felt that resetting stats should be able to be triggered repeatedly, but there might be restrictions. Perhaps the magnitude of the stat reset was related to the manufacturing difficulty of the Universe Treasure; the higher the difficulty, the more stat points that could be reset per time.

And guessing based on the fee stacking mechanism for gambling on blueprints... if the same Universe Treasure blueprint was repeated, the stat reset efficiency might gradually decrease. For example, the first time Emperor was made, 200 points were reset, but the second time it wouldn't reach 200.

"But this time it actually reset my Luck..."

Han Xiao opened the attribute panel, looked at the stick figure of his Luck attribute that had turned into an egg, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

In his previous life, there was a sub-class called [Gambler]. Players had tried it, and the Luck attribute could drop to a minimum of 0 points. This was the bottom line, which meant the last fig leaf for the [Gambler], standing in an "invincible" position.

And he only had 1 point of Luck. Dropping it to 0 points, and then gaining 200 free attribute points...

Wouldn't that be a net profit of 199 attribute points?!

"Did I have good luck or bad luck this time..." Han Xiao's eyes twitched slightly.

Although he made a bloody profit, he couldn't laugh, and tears flowed in his stomach.

Sometimes, only when you lose something do you realize how precious it is.

"Bro, we can't be without you, zero is impossible!"

Han Xiao, the great technician, gritted his teeth and solemnly clicked the "+" sign behind the Luck attribute...

He added one point.

The next moment, the value of the Luck attribute returned to that noble, pure, detached, and ascended "1".

At this moment, Han Xiao felt as if his soul had sublimated, just like that song sang... Me and my last stubbornness, holding hands tightly and never letting go!

—In fact, Han Xiao was mainly afraid that after Luck was cleared, the Luck attribute would not be included in the random range next time he reset stats.

After getting a wave of free attribute points, he was outwardly sad, but inwardly delighted, having tasted the sweetness and wanting to do it a few more times.

"Adding the inventory in my panel, I now have 2248 free attribute points. Now I have more than 11,700 Endurance points. As long as I exceed 15,000 points, I can get 1 more Divine Metamorphosis point next time I advance... well, I'll save it up again."

Suppressing his excitement, Han Xiao looked at the attribute panel, thought for a while, and added the 1 Divine Metamorphosis point he had obtained to [Divine Metamorphosis - Mechanic].

Mechanic and Void respectively represent the main class and species. The essence of these two Divine Metamorphosis paths should be the same for everyone. After testing, the former strengthens mechanical abilities, and the latter improves racial talents and provides additional attribute supplementation.

Now that there was the [Divine Item] channel to obtain Divine Metamorphosis points, he would need to research more golden blueprints, which required improving mechanical abilities. The main class path not only increases basic mechanical affinity and ability intensity, but also slightly enhances the effects of various mechanical skills, making it more targeted.

The next moment, cells operated at full power, energy fluctuations increased sharply, and his whole body emitted a dazzling electric light. Flesh, bones, it was hot, itchy, and stinging, causing Han Xiao to narrow his eyes.

[【Divine Metamorphosis - Mechanic (2/?)】]

[First stage: Mechanical Affinity +1000%, Ability Intensity +20%, all Mechanic-type skills' basic effects are slightly enhanced]

[Second stage (new): Manufacturing, Enhancement, and Repairing abilities +15%, every 30 points of Intelligence +1% Mechanical Affinity, the effects of main branch skills are strengthened in a targeted manner (Virtual branch)]

"So-so."

Han Xiao scratched his chin, feeling that the bonus was less than the first time. Perhaps the first time was like a grand opening gift, an exception, and the later the layers, the higher the bonus.

As he said that, he looked at the new perk [Universe Treasure Manufacturer]. The introduction was that creating Universe Treasures meant touching certain new levels. The effect was Mechanical Creation Performance +10%, all Mechanical Skills +1 (can exceed the upper limit), basic success rate of crafting golden equipment +4%, and basic success rate of researching golden blueprints +2%.

The bonus was pretty good, but Han Xiao's attention was attracted by the perk's accompanying prompt.

[You possess the [Universe Treasure Manufacturer] perk, and have met the prerequisite requirements]

[You have obtained [First Sanctum] Skill Fragment x1]

"It's this so-called First Sanctum again..."

A flash of electric light passed through Han Xiao's eyes.

He now had two skill fragments, and didn't know what they were for, but the triggering conditions were so harsh that this thing was definitely not simple.

It was useless to think too much without clues, so Han Xiao temporarily put it behind him and glanced at the Legend earned.

[Achievement Legend: Universe Treasure Artisan—You have created a Universe Treasure. From this moment on, you are one of the top artisans in the entire universe, entering the ranks of masters. Your creations will be passed down and become a treasure of history]

"Speaking of which, I now have core technology. If I make more Emperors and sell them for money, I can subsidize my family."

Thinking of this, Han Xiao couldn't help but smile.

That was just a thought. It was absolutely impossible to exchange trump cards for money. He wasn't interested in money now.

After taking stock of the gains from the attribute panel, Han Xiao carefully examined the golden-quality Emperor Mech.

At this time, it hadn't been colored or painted yet. The Emperor's appearance was a gorgeous full-coverage mechanical battle armor, with sharp edges and corners. The details of each armor were extremely exquisite, revealing the beauty of top-notch mechanical craftsmanship, like a work of art.

A palm-sized triangular device was embedded in the chest, glowing faintly. This was the Emperor Mech's unique matching accessory, the "Throne". As long as it was taken off and placed anywhere, the Emperor could instantly return to the location of the throne. The effect was no less than that of a high-dimensional Apocalypse Transporter.

In terms of performance, it far exceeded orange equipment. As exclusive equipment for Beyond Grade A Mechanics, it provided a total mechanical affinity coefficient bonus of 1.075x, a 35% splash range for mechanical force bonus, and various special functions. It was a set of Mechanic-exclusive mechs that were among the top ranks of Beyond Grade A equipment.

Han Xiao directly put on the mech. Like an old driver who bought a new car, he excitedly tested it and recorded the detailed parameters before reluctantly putting away the mech.

"It's really a good thing. If the original mech was a mid-range car like a Volkswagen, the Emperor is a luxury car of Pagani, Koenigsegg, and Bugatti caliber."

Han Xiao was satisfied, with an expression that he had enjoyed his car to the fullest.

After sorting out his gains this time, he ordered the mechanical assistant to clean up the workshop, and he adjusted the Mechanical Throne to lazy recliner mode.

Lying on it, Han Xiao comfortably opened the forums, intending to reward his awesome self with the funny players.

In Version 4.0, the player forums had been specifically revised, adding a Shattered Star Ring section, which was like a world channel for players.

As more and more people arrived, the popularity of the Shattered Star Ring section surpassed all other sections and became the most active channel for players.

Han Xiao flipped through the posts for a while, and saw a new video released by Rou Bao.

The 《Black Star Army》 series updated a new episode. The content was the army's deeds during the version update period. The number of views seemed to have broken the record again.

He clicked in and took a look. It wasn't that this episode was particularly well-made, but because a large number of foreign players had joined the Black Star Army, the leek field had expanded, so more people came to learn about the history of the Black Star Army, and the number of views of previous videos also skyrocketed.

Starting from Version 1.0, Rou Bao began to make a series of videos. He had now accumulated many episodes, allowing new players to catch up from the beginning and watch the complete rise of the Black Star Army from scratch... As a super-faction that developed under the witness of players, it could give players a strong innate sense of immersion.

Nowadays, most of the foreign players who joined the army were here for profit, without any sense of faction affiliation and unaccustomed to the environment. Understanding the history of a faction could slowly form cohesion, and Rou Bao's series of videos now played a huge role, just like fertilizer.

Of course, not every player would buy into this, but many old players already had feelings for the Star Sea. Even if they were far away in other star regions, the Black Star Army was not unfamiliar to them. There would always be a considerable number of people who liked immersive experiences and were willing to develop a sense of faction belonging.

"Ideological construction must be firmly grasped, and more Black Star-style socialist theory should be instilled to make players feel the warmth of home."

While Han Xiao muttered, he browsed through the posts and suddenly saw someone post exposing Infinite Financial Group.

The content of the exposure was Sorkin's released spy mission, requiring players to purchase information from Black Star Army players.

Infinite Financial Group's confidentiality work was actually done quite well. At least Han Xiao hadn't learned the details through other channels, but he couldn't stand the fact that the players turned around and sold Sorkin on the forums.

It's really hard for me not to know...

The corner of Han Xiao's mouth twitched.

The player forum was a special information exchange platform that no outsiders could intervene in, but he could browse the player forum. This unparalleled intelligence advantage could currently be enjoyed exclusively by him.

For him, players were a pure, natural, and free intelligence network. Even if he sat at home and did nothing, the player forum would continuously provide intelligence from other forces.

Currently, Infinite Financial Group was the most enthusiastic force in recruiting players other than himself. That unlucky Sorkin wanted to spend money to use the characteristics of players to be his spies, but he didn't know that he was exposed by the players in return, and Han Xiao didn't even have to pay anything.

—The joy of privilege is so simple and unadorned, and boring.

Thinking of Sorkin's face full of conspiracies and tricks, Han Xiao even wanted to laugh.

"I might as well let the army players take his mission and casually sell some information to earn Sorkin's money for nothing. A local tycoon, why not take advantage of him?"

Han Xiao was brewing bad ideas when he suddenly swept over a post title with extremely high popularity, and his eyes suddenly focused.
