Chapter 133 Mechanics Are So Powerful (1/2)
Jade Green Sky and SliceYouUp were shocked.
A solitary player's output was actually higher than that of a guild. The EXP earned by a team had to be divided equally among the players, but Maple Moon could keep the hundreds of thousands of EXP to herself. What this meant was extraordinary! In an instant, she had exceeded all the players to hold a safe lead, and that included the other novice planets.
Maple Moon was hit with shock by her unexpected success, her face full of disbelief as she stared at the EXP bar on the interface. She had used a sniper rifle with firm and stable output through the battle and did not expect that she would emerge as the top player. She knew her limitations well. This was only possible because she had relied fully on Black Phantom. This was obviously a benefit that came from triggering the secret quest. Maple Moon made up her mind; she had to persist in unearthing the secret quest. Black Phantom was such a powerful aide, so she had to stay on good terms with Black Phantom.
Han Xiao returned to the car, and Maple Moon immediately returned the sniper rifle.
Some players followed them and were surprised to realize that Black Phantom was actually interacting with Maple Moon on close terms.
Jade Green Sky immediately reacted. ”There is a secret quest!”
”She is so lucky.”
Everyone stared enviously at Maple Moon. Maple Moon was not used to the attention from the crowd, so she blushed and hid in the car. Han Xiao saw this but did not chase anyone away. Instead, he started driving his car back to Big Horn Village. The players had no choice but to follow on foot.
As he was driving, Han Xiao scrolled through the forum. Suddenly, a new post was pushed to the top of the forum—”A high-ranking NPC's combat capability!”
Clicking into the post, the battle scene that just occurred popped up on the page. Some players uploaded their recorded videos. The Germinal Organization's troops were displaying their formidable combat capability. When Seiberre was murdering players, there were a few barrages. The audience felt as if they were present at the scene—they were tensed up with nervousness. However, the next moment, Seiberre was killed in one shot. The shot blew out explosively, and blood was flying everywhere. Then, the portable battery demonstrated its prowess, crippling the Germinal troops in an instant. The scene was even more shocking.
Responses to the post were posted in the dozens every second, and it soon accumulated a few thousand responses.
”That character was so powerful, but he got killed in one shot!”
”Isn't Black Phantom the advanced NPC from Big Horn Village? What is his level?”
”Mechanic is so powerful. I think there's great prospects!”
”Damn, I'm in a planet with a magic background; there are no Mechanics”
Scrolling through the responses that were marveling at the scene, Han Xiao smiled to himself.
Faking it… bah, the idea of showing my strength really worked.
The effect was apparent. Once he got to the settlement, the players that had hesitated in switching their Class were now fervently picking up the basics. Prior to this, the entire Big Horn Village had only twenty percent of players choosing Mechanic. After the video went viral online, players' excitement for Mechanics was just breaking through the roofs. The players swaying precariously between Classes immediately switched to Mechanic.
A hundred, five hundred, then a thousand …
The EXP on the Interface was just piling up like crazy. Han Xiao kept his face straight to not smile. In the short few days at Big Horn Village, he had collected two or three million EXP just by lazing around, and that was comparable to accumulating EXP through four or five missions. This was way safer and more efficient.
The player market was indeed a market with the most potential. The NPC functions were really useful. Imparting skills was allowing him to gain great profit without any cost, and that was only possible because he owned the interface as well as the NPC functions.
Han Xiao knew that you could not be impatient in grooming students, so he only imparted basic skills. The players that were convinced to switch to Mechanic would come to be his key customers in the future. After all, Han Xiao's was a Mechanic.
After these version 1.0 players gained a deep understanding of Mechanics, they would realize that they had been scammed. By then, it would be too late. Even if they lamented to heaven and knocked their heads against the earth, it would be pointless. They could only choose to continue or start from nothing again. In this way, Han Xiao's goal would have been achieved—as long as these players wanted to improve their combat effectiveness quickly, they can only rely on him to buy advanced machinery.
You want to become strong?
How can you not spend money‽
Han Xiao took a smoke, and he thought to himself, After a few versions, you will be thanking me…
In this way, he brushed off his sense of guilt.
…
On one side, Jade Green Sky approached Maple Moon and asked politely: ”Babe, I wonder if you're free now.”
Maple Moon looked up doubtfully and saw a group of male players with a look of thirst in their eyes. She stepped back nervously and warned, ”What are you up to? I warn… warn you, this game prohibits any sexual harassment!”
The members of Sky Territory were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Babe, we are curious about your secret quest, not in you!
Jade Green Sky coughed. ”I only want to ask how you triggered Black Phantom's secret quest. Don't worry, we'll reward you fairly.”
Maple Moon shook her head, rejecting his request without a pause. She enjoyed unearthing secret quests, but that was not because of the profit, and she did not want Black Phantom to dislike her.
