Chapter 857 - Apostle Weapon and Ultimate Knowledge (2/2)
Han Xiao spent twelve thousand Contribution Points to choose two Ultimate Knowledge.
Armed Branch: [Endless Material Science]
Control Branch: [Virtual Creator]
One of them belonged to his Virtual Mechanic branch, and he only needed eight Potential Points. The other was an important knowledge to Mechanics, and the Mechanic from any branch would try to learn it.
Resources and energy had always been the two largest bottlenecks to a Mechanic’s technological skills, and the Armed Branch had a material-related knowledge at all levels. This allowed a Mechanic to combine more powerful materials and increase the basic attributes of a Mechanic. This was a core knowledge of the Mechanic Class.
Learning these two knowledges required thirty-two Potential Points and Han Xiao had thirty-three Potential Points on him.
Han Xiao smiled and immediately learned the two knowledge.

Learning…
Successfully learned! You have learned [Endless Material Science]!
Learning…
Successfully learned! You have learned [Virtual Creator]!
You have received the talent [Material Pioneer]!
[Material Pioneer]: The probability of success for merging new materials is increased, and the abilities obtained from special materials have been increased. For example, the self-recovery ability of machines when using memory alloy will be increased.
You have received talent [Virtual Lord]!
[Virtual Lord]: Your various Virtual Technology skills have been strengthened greatly. The total bonus is 2.5. When you enter the quantum network vision, your consciousness can jump to different quantum network nodes and increase your range greatly. You can let Virtual Life Forms submit to you. You have mastered all the various Virtual Technology skills, and the quantum network is your fortress.
You have acquired [Ultimate Material Refinement]!
You have acquired [Endless Material Combination]!
[Endless Material Combination]: You can combine the specialties of any materials and attempt to create new material recipes. The higher the grade of the material and the more complicated the recipe, the lower the success rate. The basic success rate is determined by INT and Machinery Affinity. When you craft a new recipe, the strength of the new material will be increased.
You have acquired [Virtual Life Evolution]!
[Virtual Life Evolution]: You can transform an AI into a Virtual Life Form. A Virtual Life Form has more powerful infiltrative and defensive abilities.
You have acquired [Virtual Soul]!
[Virtual Soul]: You soul can transform into a Virtual Life Form and live within the quantum network. Total level, INT, and Virtual Technology skills will determine the strength after transformation in the quantum network. This effect can be cancelled.
When you use your Mechanical Force to connect to a target, you can temporarily virtualize your target’s soul and pull it into the quantum network. Success rate is determined by total level, INT, MYS, and LUK. If successful, the target won’t be able to control their body temporarily, and attacking the target in the quantum network will cause mental damage.
Cooldown: 15 min.

Han Xiao looked through the notifications and nodded with satisfaction.
“The effects of these talents are extremely powerful. Endless Material Science allowed me to improve the quality of my machines and create new materials. Virtual knowledge allowed me to have new battle tactics.”
With the two Ultimate Knowledge in his hands, Han Xiao was extremely satisfied. He did not make use of his remaining six thousand Contribution Points to exchange for new knowledge but kept them for the Political Asset effect.
Just when he was about to go to the battle room to test Psionic Prime’s new strength, his communicator rang. Tarrokov was calling him, revealing some information which truly baffled him.
Han Xiao replied with an odd expression.
“You’re saying that EsGod wants to work with the dynasty temporarily and send some manpower to help us stop the Arcane Church?”
“That’s right. Our forces that chased after the Fallen Ark troops captured an empty battleship with EsGod’s doppelganger inside. He didn’t fight back and allowed himself to be captured, saying that he wanted to talk to us.”
Tarrokov was truly surprised.
Han Xiao frowned and felt that this matter was truly suspicious. There was no need for EsGod to do this. EsGod was extremely mobile, and he was not one to bother about his subordinates. Thus, he would be able to escape even without the help of the dynasty. Furthermore, the dynasty’s main target was not him. Why would EsGod bother making such an unnecessary move to anger the Arcane Church? Could it be that he thought that he would be able to make the dynasty happy by doing so?
After thinking for a moment, Han Xiao asked, “Chief commander, what are you planning to do?”
“Er… EsGod wants information about the Arcane Church’s coordinates, and it won’t really matter if we give it to him. The Arcane Church’s fleet will leave our security perimeter very soon, and we will lose track of them very quickly. This piece of news isn’t secret, and it won’t matter who we tell.
“Even if EsGod isn’t truly sincere, we wouldn’t suffer any losses. But if he really wants to let Sagman and the others be his scapegoat, we will definitely earn big. As for him working together with the Arcane Church to ambush us, we can always settle the score in the future.”
“Then let us go according to your plan.”
Although Han Xiao felt that EsGod’s decision was extremely strange, Tarrokov was the commander. Since Han Xiao could not think of a problem, he would not interfere in Tarrokov’s decision.
Right at this moment, Tarrokov said, “There is something else. EsGod’s doppelganger would like to meet you.”
“Meet me? Alright. Since the dynasty fleet that is giving chase to EsGod doesn’t have any Beyond Grade As, I will split out a portion of my mechanical army to meet him and also monitor his doppelganger in the process.”
Han Xiao was certain that EsGod probably wanted to ‘thank’ him for the evolution energy.
After pausing for a while, he continued.
“As for the Arcane Church fleet… even if they leave the security perimeter, I have some means to locate them…”
As a Virtual Mechanic, how can he not leave something behind for the Arcane Church fleet during the battle. Although the firewall of the Arcane Church fleet was strong, he still had the ability to leave a little something behind.
Han Xiao’s eyes gleamed.
Choosing to learn the [Virtual Creator] knowledge at this moment was to chase after them!
