Chapter 4 600,000 experience points! (2/2)
”Shh, they can hear us.”
”It doesn't matter does it? They've already been brainwashed anyway.”
To them, test subjects were less than animals.
Han Xiao walked away silently.
...
Half a year passed.
In this period of time, Han Xiao managed to figure out the layout of the entire facility and the routines of the staff.
The Valkyrie Laboratory, commanded by Hila, was an underground facility that comprised of three floors. Because it was a secret base, it wasn't built to be very big, and was concealed within an uninhabited forest. Its supplies were delivered by airdrop.
A total of 60 armored guards patrolled the facility. Every now and then, the organization would send a batch of test subjects who had had their memories wiped here for experimentation.
Although there were a dozen so other Valkyrie laboratories, this base was the main one. After Han Xiao and No. 1, the Germinal Organization had managed to produce another 76 successful test subjects.
While most of them had already been transferred to other facilities, No. 1 and nine other exceptional test subjects were chosen to form a squad, and they were still awaiting orders here.
Han Xiao had grown accustomed to his life here. Aside from training, he spent all his time working with machines in the tuning room. The room had become a haven of sorts for him.
The guards gradually began to ignore his presence and when he passed by, they would simply gloss over him as though he were invisible.
This was extremely advantageous for Han Xiao, who was tirelessly gaining as much experience as he could. He also tried to memorize as many blueprints as he could.
The experience that assembly and enhancement rewarded were separate. When Han Xiao could no longer gain experience from assembling a certain machine, he would proceed to work on enhancing it. He was always careful to revert the machinery back to its original state after enhancing so as to keep his abilities a secret.
After many hours of training, Han Xiao also managed to master the two skills of [Basic Combat] and [Basic Shooting] and unexpectedly unlocked a passive ability called [Grinder], which gave him +100 Health.
He also unlocked the sub-class of [Agent], and was now at a character level of 4.
After his continued efforts, [Basic Assembly] and [Basic Enhancement] reached Lv. 4, while [Basic Combat] and [Basic Shooting] reached Lv. 2.
Mechanics required substantial amounts of resources and currency for growth, and while this would normally be a limitation to the class, Han Xiao had access to free materials from the organization.
He had used up almost 90% of the machines in the armory, accumulating a total of 600,00 experience!
Without monsters or missions, only mechanics could earn so much experience in such a short amount of time.

”Give Lin Wei Xian the green light. He has asked repeatedly. He may dissect Zero,” ordered the boss over the line.
Hila frowned.
”You rejected him repeatedly.”
”The organization has devoted so much resources to him already. We must gain something in return,” said the boss plainly. ”The only worth that trash has is in being recycled. That, is Zero's fate.”
Hila bit her lip.
”Understood.”
”What are the results of No. 1 and his team's training?” continued the boss.
”Very promising. I see potential in them.”
”Very good. Send them to the Night Owl base for training, I have already sent the Night Owl squad to receive them. They will arrive in two or three days.”
”That's the day I visit my sister!”
”You don't need to follow them.”
”Alright.”
