Chapter 321 High-Level Advancement

Compared to level 300, the attribute increase was significant, but this mainly came from the 21 levels of Stamina bonus, accumulated by Han Xiao during the update period.

As the realm increased, the Stamina bonus would gradually increase, which was an important component of the Super's combat power.

The Endurance bonus of this advancement was +90, which was 20 points more than the last advancement. It was increasingly difficult to level up in the late game, and the strengthening effect of each advancement would also increase. Moreover, the surge in energy level also allowed the S-grade promotion bonus to be upgraded again. There was a close connection between the various attributes, one movement affecting the whole body, comprehensively strengthening Han Xiao's attributes.

An ordinary advancement gave himself such a great improvement, and Han Xiao was very satisfied.

"As for these 2,000-plus free attribute points..."

Han Xiao thought for a while and decided to save them for now. Intelligence and Endurance were both very high now, so he decided to add points flexibly depending on the situation.

Potential points continued to be used to upgrade class knowledge, with priority given to ultimate knowledge.

Currently, the ultimate knowledge that had been maxed out was still the three from the level 300 advancement mission: [Eternal Energy], [Virtual Creator], and [Spacetime Theory]. The other three were all non-class branch knowledge, with a triple penalty. It would take a total of 288 potential points to upgrade from level 1 to level 5.

Han Xiao had gained a lot of potential points during the update period and had upgraded these three ultimate knowledge skills a bit. The 28 potential points on the panel could just max out [Mechanical Life Seed].

However, after thinking about it, Han Xiao did not do so. Instead, he turned around and added a level to [Ultimate Mechanical Engineering] in the Armed branch, upgrading it to the third level.

This class knowledge was related to manufacturing level, and Han Xiao wanted to increase the success rate of manufacturing the Emperor and the Emperor's Robe, so he upgraded this knowledge first.

"Plans can't keep up with changes. I originally wanted to hide in the bushes all the time, but now I have to work while waiting," Han Xiao shook his head.

Now that he was alone outside, he could not use the exclusive workshop in the base. He could only use the secondary dimension factory for now, and he had to find a way to get the raw materials delivered.

Counting the days, he estimated that he would not be able to make it before the birth of the Chaos Secret Energy. The amount of work required for a cosmic treasure-level equipment was still quite large, especially the huge Emperor's Robe.

"I'm at level 320 now, and my combat power has improved significantly again. The closer I get to the level of the Mechanical God and Void Sovereign, the more I can feel their power..." Han Xiao sighed.

He was quite happy to see the gap in strength narrowing step by step.

However, after the advancement, the cost of leveling up increased dramatically again. The effect of each advancement in the later stages was extraordinary, and the cost of leveling up also increased exponentially.

"I'm afraid it will take a long time to accumulate enough experience for the level 340 advancement," Han Xiao nodded secretly. "Also, I have to find an opportunity to ask about the Divinity Transformation and the First Sacred Ground."

Beko Rodi, an important leader of the hardliners, sat in the conference room with his eyes closed to rest. After a while, a remote projection appeared in the room, which was Gaud.

"You're here," Beko Rodi opened his eyes.

"I hope you called me here to notify me of good news," Gaud said with a calm expression.

"It is indeed good news," Beko Rodi said in a deep voice. "The application you submitted has been approved. The Imperial High Command has decided to hand over the Chaos Secret Energy to you for use... provided that your ability is really like what you said, that you can control the Chaos Secret Energy."

The Empire had bet on Black Star, believing that he was the most important pillar of the country in the future. However, the Empire did not mind having a second such strong person. After all, Gaud's ability was too rare, and the Empire was willing to spend energy to cultivate this extraordinary potential Gaud, not to mention that this person was a direct line of the Empire, not an ally who listened to transfer but not to summons.

"I know the extent to which my abilities can go. As long as the Empire is willing to give me trust, I will not let the Empire down," Gaud smiled calmly.

"As long as you can prove yourself, the Empire will not be stingy with resources to cultivate you, just like Black Star now," Beko Rodi's tone became heavier when he mentioned Han Xiao.

Han Xiao's refusal to exchange one Evolutionary Cube for three made Beko Rodi very dissatisfied.

Hearing this, Gaud smiled noncommittally, did not express his opinion, and lightly brushed over the topic, saying:

"Now that the date of the birth of the Chaos Secret Energy is approaching, how is the Empire preparing?"

Beko Rodi nodded. "The Empire has dispatched troops to the various locations displayed in the intelligence, and has also discovered abnormal movements of many forces. It can be confirmed that they also have Alien God legacies in their hands, and they are our competitors for the Chaos Secret Energy..."

"What kind of forces are they?"

"Not many in number, but complex in composition. There are all types of forces, but the Radiant and Void seem to be inactive. It's not clear whether they know about it..."

"It sounds like there are many uncertain factors. Can you ensure that the Empire gets the Chaos Secret Energy?"

"The situation is still unclear. The Empire's prophets have sensed vague information, believing that the Emerald Star Cluster is the most likely location for the Chaos Secret Energy to appear. It just so happens that the Shattered World is our territory, and the Empire has decided to ask some Super-A Grade allies to help," Beko Rodi narrowed his eyes.

"Black Star?"

"He's not the Empire's choice," Beko Rodi shook his head.

The Black Star Army had the largest power in the Shattered World. Logically speaking, it would be most reliable to have Black Star help, but the Empire did not do so, and Beko Rodi did not explain the reason.

Gaud's heart skipped a beat. He learned some information from this sentence and smiled secretly.

Tsk tsk, it seems that because of the Evolutionary Cube, there is indeed a gap between the Empire and Black Star... The extent is probably equivalent to a quarrel between lovers?

With a slight glint in his eyes, Gaud calmly said, "In that case, I have a suggestion. It's best to transfer Black Star away to avoid unexpected complications."

"I don't have the authority to order Black Star to do things," Beko Rodi waved his hand. "Recently, news has spread that the guards are all in Black Star's palace, and Ames of the Shattered Star Ring has also come to visit, so Black Star's main body is probably still staying in the main camp. It seems that he shouldn't be aware of this matter and won't interfere..."

After a pause, Beko Rodi's expression sank, and he continued, "But even if Black Star interferes, the Empire can exchange with him. Given his current situation, the probability of him rejecting our proposal again is very small. He should know how to actively mend his relationship with us."

"That's good. I don't want any accidents to happen during the operation," Gaud narrowed his eyes.

The Empire did not want to see him, this special talent, encounter risks before he grew up, so he was not allowed to interfere in the entire process.

All Gaud had to do was stay at home obediently and wait for the Empire to hand over the Chaos Secret Energy they had snatched.

With the Empire taking action for me, this is too convenient... Gaud shook his head with a secret laugh.
