26 Chapter 26 - New Skills
"Awesome! Amazing! This is the power of magic? Hahaha..." Jayce was full of excitement.
Caitlyn next to him was shocked, "Amazing..."
"This kind of power is several magnitudes higher than the Atlas gloves used by miners..." Tobias commented to his wife.
Cassandra nodded her head slightly, staring intently at the power arm on Lilin.
"Where do you propose this power arm of yours be deployed Lilin?"
She didn't ask about the hextech gemstone and seemed to pay no attention to it. Instead, focusing on Lilin's application.
"Rather, it's a complete set of exoskeleton power devices."
Lilin explained slowly, repeating the previous discussion with Jayce:
"Theoretically, it would not only protect the wearer, but also improve their strength and agility.
"The porters who work on the dock, the workers who dig in the mines, and even some of the more dangerous diving operations."
Lilin paused for a moment, then changed the conversation: "But I prefer to apply it to military use."
"Military? This is not a field that our family is involved in." Tobias, like Jayce, did not agree with Lilin's perspective.
But before Lilin could explain anything, Madam Cassandra interrupted: "It is beneficial for our family to get involved in other fields."
"But darling, with Vosladen, Bolbok, and the Cadwalders..."
"They will agree to share a piece of the pie for us." Cassandra kept looking at Lilin with a confident tone, "Okay, let that be all for today."
She looked at Jayce, " I need you and Lilin to give a speech at the Progress Day Conference in a few days."
"Speech?" Lilin shocked.
Although he knew he would eventually be pushed into the spotlight by the Kiramman family, to let many other families know of a crilliant craftsman who was a genius inventor at a young age.
But I didn't expect it to be this way...
"This is our tradition. Every year, important inventions are presented on Progress Day, and then the most outstanding are selected to give speeches." Tobias explained with a smile.
"Oh, yes, there is one more thing." Madam Cassandra added, "I will introduce you to other families on the day of. There will be a dinner party in the evening, remember to prepare in advance."
...
...
In the middle of the night, Lilin finally got some time to rest.
After taking a hot bath, he lay comfortably on his soft and comfortable big bed, recalling what happened later this evening.
Madam Cassandra took away the hextech gemstone he made, saying that it would be displayed at the Progress Day Conference as a sample.
Fortunately, there is still one crystal left, otherwise his research process will be slowed down again.
Although Jayce originally said that he wanted that crystal to study...
However, under the "persuasion" of Lilin, Jayce agreed.
As for the Progress Day dinner, to be honest, Lilin didn't know much about the etiquette of the upper class.
Fortunately, Caitlyn volunteered to teach him the basics.
And despite Lilin's objection, she asked him to get up early tomorrow and go to her class.
"Sigh... Caitlyn… I have stuff to do … why do I need get up early." Lilin muttered and complained, "Though I've been feeling a little unhealthy recently… "
After thinking about it carefully, he shook his head.
After all, I stayed up late every day on Earth and nothing happened?
Lilin rolled over on the bed, put aside all distracting thoughts, and immersed his thoughts on the system in his mind.
"I remembered a series of messages after I made the gemstone today..."
He casually glanced at his panel:
[Name: Lilin]
[Occupation: Mechanic]
[Level: Level 5]
[HP: 765/765]
[Mana: 113/113]
[Combat Strength: 8]
[Skill Points: 7]
[Possesions: 0 blue essence, 0 orange essence]
[Skills: Proficient mechanical manufacturing, HUD mode, intermediate firearms mastery, basic fighting mastery]
[Additional function: Skill panel]
[Insufficient level, the function is not unlocked...]
[…]
"Um?"
Lilin suddenly noticed that there was an " additional function" module on the panel, which was not there before.
It seems to be unlocked after I reached level 5.
"When I unlocked the 'skill upgrade' module before, I could only upgrade the skills I already mastered.
"At that time, I could only upgrade [Proficient Mechanical Manufacturing] and [HUD mode], so I didn't pay much attention to it...
"It seems that these skill points of mine can finally come in handy."
Lilin thought about it, and at the same time, he opened the skill panel.
The skill panel is very simple, and with a glance, it's like playing dnf.
For now, there aren't many things he can learn, and quite a few of them are drawings with very familiar names.
For example, hexdrinker, Hextech Gunblade, Hextech Protobelt-01, Hextech GLP-800 and other equipment that have appeared in the game.
He can design these blueprint skills with his current knowledge, and it is a waste to use skill points on them.
Soon, Lilin's eyes locked on three skill icons under the "Exclusive Skills" category.
[Exclusive Skills]
[Passive – Mechanic Mastery: The speed of learning mechanical knowledge is increased by 50%, and there is a 1% probability of acquiring rare blueprints or skills. ]
[Skill Prerequisites: Mechanic Profession, Level 5]
[At every skill level increase of 1, the speed of learning mechanical knowledge is increased by 10%, and the probability of acquiring rare blueprints or skills is increased by 1%. ]
...
[Passive - Mechanical Affinity: Increase the affinity for mechanical creations and increase the speed of mechanical creation by 25%. ]
[Skill Prerequisites: Mechanic Mastery, Level 5]
[At every skill level increase of 1, increase the affinity for mechanical creations, and increases the speed of mechanical creation by 5%. ]
...
[Active - Neural Network Connection: Master the technology of connecting machinery with human nerves, which can control the mechanical body through the brain. ]
[Skill Prerequisite: None]
[Skill level upper limit: Level 1]
...
[Active - Mechanical Enhancement: Consume mana and materials to improve and upgrade mechanical devices (70% probability of inferior quality upgrade to excellent quality, 35% probability of excellent upgrade to rare quality, 1% probability of rare upgrade of legendary quality)]
[Skill Prerequisites: Mechanic Mastery]
[At every skill level increase of 1, the probability of inferior quality upgrading to excellent quality is increased by 3%, and the probability of excellent quality upgrading to rare quality is increased by 2%]
...
Here are two passive skills and two active skills that he unlocks with skill points when he reaches level 5.
The first two passive skills are more like providing buff bonuses for the profession of mechanic, and the third [Neural Network Connection] skill is the technology that the two city-states have already achieved.
Whether it is the enhanced prosthesis of Hextech or Chemtech, it is necessary to implant machinery into the flesh, or completely replace the flesh with mechanical devices.
If you want the augment to be as responsive as your own body, it is essential to connect the machine to the nerve.
As for the last [Mechanical Enhancement] skill, it is used to improve the quality of equipment, and it depends on RNG.
It is a mechanic's exclusive skill, and it is more likely to be a prerequisite for certain skills in the future. Lilin still spent 4 skill points to level up all four skills.
As for the remaining skill points, he intends to keep them for emergency.
