No . 1 opened his eyes . His eyes had been modified, too . They flashed red light, and his field of sight could zoom in and out like a camera lens . He looked down at his palms covered in metallic skin, and as he moved his fingers around, a hideous smile appeared on his face .
"Never been better . "
With a buzz from the exoskeleton, he punched at the metal wall and created a pit . His hideous smile expanded and turned into a maniacal laugh .
Finally, after enduring endless pain, he had gained transcendent power .
He enjoyed the surge of confidence .
No . 1 realized that with this power, the Zero that had once killed him was nothing more than a weakling .
They were not on the same level anymore .
"Zero, don't get killed by anyone else before I find you . " No . 1's eyes were vicious as he talked to himself . "You're mine . "
…
Cyberlos walked out of the experiment lab to report to the leader .
"As the schedule has been brought forward, the experiment has yet to reach a mature stage . No . 1 was the only one that could endure and finish all the modifications . I did not think that he could endure all that torture," Cyberlos said .
"He was killed by Zero . Hatred turned his will indestructible," the leader said indifferently .
"About Zero…" Cyberlos narrowed his eyes . "If he really has the power to predict the future, we have to get rid of him before the war . Otherwise, all of our strategic deployments and planning will be exposed . "
"He's like a rat in the sewers, hiding too deep . " The leader fiddled with his fingers before coming to a decision . "Activate Destiny's Child, find his position . "
Cyberlos smiled . He had always been very interested in the Destiny's Child .
The duo walked in the twisted corridor and past locked gates that each required higher authority than the last . Elite teams of guards patrolled the corridor in synchronized footsteps . The secret room was deeply hidden .
The leader walked to the gate and entered the password . Next was the fingerprint scanner . He removed the glove that he had always been wearing . His hand looked horrible—it was full of scars like it had once been bitten and chewed by a beast .
There were scars on his fingertips, too . The leader put the glove back on after the authorization was completed . The metal gate slid open to the side . Only the leader could open this gate .
Inside was a hibernation pod with a man wearing a metal muzzle in it, and the nutritional liquid injections were all that was keeping his body alive .
The leader controlled the hibernation pod to inject a drug that would wake the person inside . The door opened up, and the man slowly opened his eyes . He was extremely calm . His eyes had no signs of life, and he did not seem to care if he was asleep or awake .
The Germinal Organization called this man 'Destiny's Child' . He had some ability to affect the future with his words, but the Germinal Organization did not know many of the details .
The leader waved behind his back, and his subordinate handed the documents on Zero over . He then flipped the pages . Destiny's Child looked at the pages without even changing the focus of his pupils .
The leader flipped through the pages twice and said, "Make him appear . "
Destiny's Child finally blinked .
The leader took out a specially made key and opened the metal mouth mask of Destiny's Child .
Destiny's Child closed his eye for five minutes . When he opened them again, he said slowly with a hoarse voice, "He will come here himself . "
The leader's breath paused for a second and demanded, "When?"
"Not too long . "
"Hope it's successful this time . " Cyberlos shook his head . Destiny's Child's ability did not work every time . The smaller the request, the more likely it was to succeed .
The leader put the metal mask back on Destiny's Child and pushed him back into the hibernation pod .
The guards outside careful extended their heads and looked at each other with confusion .
Why were the leader and Cyberlos talking into the air with themselves?
…
After staying in the last novice village in the Western Continent for three days, Han Xiao left hurriedly in a plane . His next stop was the Northern Continent, which would be a long trip .
The average level of players was getting close to 20, so Han Xiao had to speed up on his schedule .
Stars filled the night sky outside the window . The plane flew stably in the clouds with its preset route .
The stars glowed in the clear eyes of Han Xiao .
Every time Han Xiao looked at the night sky and the bright stars in it, he thought of the countless civilizations and opportunities that existed in the universe .
Han Xiao was very aware of this, and every time he thought of it, he was filled with ambition .
A man's journey belongs to the sea of stars .
He had already built his base on Planet Aquamarine—this was the starting point . The more he accumulated here, the more confident he would be .
Han Xiao opened the interface and counted his earnings .
In the more than ten days that he had stayed in the Western Continent, he had robbed a large number of drugs, one of which had an unknown effect but could potentially be a very valuable semi-finished drug . He had also built many relationships, with Dion, two superheroes that he had no idea of what use they would provide, Hannes, and others . Furthermore, he had managed to trigger the hidden main storyline .
He also built the mechanical suit, Viper .
Viper could increase both his Strength and Dexterity drastically, which made up for the Mechanics' weaknesses in these two attributes in the early stages . In Han Xiao's mind, Viper was his second battle plan, and it was only a prototype . He needed to continuously add more modules to it so as to enhance his combat abilities .
Sniping was for assassination, kiting, and stealth; Viper was for head-on combat, and he actually already had a few modification ideas for it .
His largest earnings were the experience and money from the four novice villages . [Energy Training Technique] sold very well just as he expected, and it had brought him an outrageous and unbelievable amount of rewards .
120,000,000 EXP!
Those who could afford [Energy Training Technique] were the players who were rather ahead—not everyone could afford it .
The class-change knowledge and basic skills were selling at a low profit margin, but the number of people who bought it was the highest .
He already had 20,000,000 EXP saved up . Thus, the accumulated experience on the interface totaled to 140,000,000!
Han Xiao felt content as he looked at the long string of zeros . Even for the players at his level, this amount of experience was beyond their imagination . Some players could not even get as much experience during the whole version 1 . 0 .
Nice . Han Xiao was overjoyed . He would not have to worry about experience points for a long time .
As long as he settled the two biggest obstacles—changing class and upgrading tier—his level would increase tremendously, and he could even splurge on upgrading his skills . It would be easy for him to max the levels of all his abilities except for blueprints, and most importantly, he could infuse blueprints in bulk and build up his inventory .
Experience points were not the only thing . He had also earned 3,600,000 Aquarium dollars by selling [Energy Training Technique], and he had sold five referral letters, which totaled to 4,850,000 dollars . His wallet was packed .
Worth it!
Han Xiao rubbed his palms . He could not wait to open the interface .
Excluding blueprints, the abilities he had yet to reach max level were: [Accurate Shooting Lv . 3], [Special Combat Lv . 1], [Stealth Lv . 1], [Steady Aim Lv . 1], [Night Attack Lv . 1], [Medium Enhancement Lv . 4], [Energy—Magnetic Enhancement Lv . 1], [Meticulous Repairs Lv . 1], and the amazing [Pickpocketing Lv . 1]
Without even looking at the experience points they needed, he maxed the level of each of those abilities!
That's the feeling of being rich!
