Chapter 21 (2/2)
Although the situation today was dangerous, it did give him two good souls.
At the very least, he could confirm that Amos was an armorer. That female mercenary was definitely a powerful person, having become a mercenary of the Star Federation.
He could sense an orange Knowledge Orb and a yellow Knowledge Orb in the body of the Shadow Servant, which made him energized.
There was a Knowledge Orb that was even more high-level than the orange orb! Since the orange orb meant intermediate, what was above the intermediate level?
Warhammer Mastery (82% Intermediate), Electronic Warfare Retaliation (98% Proficiency).
David’s eyes were wide open. The 98% Proficiency Electronic Warfare Retaliation Knowledge Orbs was beyond his imagination.
Even the armorer Amos’s Warhammer Mastery was only at an 82% proficiency level. However, the female mercenary’s Electronic Warfare Retaliation was at an incredible 98% proficiency. If she had been given more time, she would probably have been able to break through and reach a higher level.
“It’s such a pity! If…” David couldn’t help but mock himself for being greedy. He was effortlessly obtaining a proficiency that others could only reach in a lifetime, yet here he was, still demanding more.
He hadn’t absorbed or fused any Knowledge Orbs today, having been more than a day since he last did so. He kept his eyes fixed on the Electronic Warfare Retaliation (98% Proficiency) Knowledge Orb, which was pure knowledge. It would not trigger a physical reaction.
He initially wanted to fuse the Heavy-axe Mastery (33% Beginner) Knowledge Orb, but he didn’t even have a heavy axe. Even if he learned the Heavy-axe Mastery, he wouldn’t be able to practice it.
Of course, it was the same for the Warhammer Mastery (82% Proficiency) Knowledge Orb, which he had decided to absorb and fuse with the Electronic Warfare Retaliation (98% Proficiency) Knowledge Orb.
David’s whole body relaxed as he guided the Electronic Warfare Retaliation (98% Proficiency) Knowledge Orb into his body, after which he saw that the Electronic Warfare Retaliation ability on the attribute panel in front of him was rapidly increasing.
He walked in front of an optical computer, pressing his hand on it and tapping continuously.
Large segments of codes darted out, and to his satisfaction, he understood the meaning of the codes.
The process of coding went on for a long time, multiple coding languages and various techniques applied to them.
As he stopped tapping, he thought the illusion was coming to an end. However, his surroundings had simply changed to a different scene and he appeared in front of the console.
There were various devices on the console, and as each of them appeared, they automatically disintegrated in front of him, while the structure of the devices and various related knowledge entered his brain, military and civilian.
Later on, he even appeared on a starship, and in front of an optical computer in the main control room, another large wave of knowledge poured into his brain.
David fell asleep on the floor, his head tilted, snapping out of the illusion when the last wave of knowledge entered his brain.
As for his idea of being able to absorb two Knowledge Orbs per day, it was shattered in front of the 98% Proficiency Knowledge Orbs.
In fact, if David’s Mental Energy hadn’t reached 3.0 arbitrary units, that influx of knowledge alone would have been enough to make an ordinary person fall asleep for a few days without being able to absorb and fuse all of the 98% Proficiency Knowledge.
How could the Electronic Warfare Retaliation Knowledge that Edna had be that simple? She was a master of Electronic Warfare, someone who could make Captain Feroman of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps resort to all means to recruit her. She was a top existence among all the masters of Electronic Warfare. Edna was a genius in Electronic Warfare Retaliation, and she was able to reach such a level with the full support of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps.
David had accepted and fused the massive amount of knowledge within a short period of time, which was a feat that perhaps only the legendary gods of the Great Divine World could perform.
David’s Shadow Servant’s ability had long ago gone beyond the original concept of a Shadow Servant and became another mysterious existence.
David, who was currently in the moment, was clueless about that. Although he was aware that the Shadow Servant was special, the only description he had of it was the one stated in the sacrificial manual that caused his predecessor’s death. He did not believe it at all.
When David woke up the next morning, he found himself sleeping on the floor and couldn’t help but recall the events of the day before. He was so shocked; he even summoned the Shadow Servant to activate the attribute panel.
When he saw that there was an additional Electronic Warfare Retaliation (98% Proficiency) ability on his attribute panel, he finally felt a sense of relief. If he had wasted the yellow Knowledge Orb, he would have been filled with intense regret.
At the same time, he also knew what the item he had put away was: the ‘K2 Military Electronic Warfare Retaliation Device,’ a weapon used by a master of Electronic Warfare Retaliation. Just like the T3 Sniper Assist Device, it was a military item that could not be purchased on the market.
Only fearless mercenaries were able to obtain such a weapon through various channels. However, unlike the T3 Sniper Assist Device, the K2 Military Electronic Warfare Retaliation Device was a complete equipment of the Electronic Warfare Division.
