章 26: CHAPTER 26 - Exclusive Skills of the Mechanic System
After a considerable delay, the onlookers finally reacted.
"This is incredible, truly amazing! Is this the power of magic? Hahaha..." Jayce praised the scene before him endlessly.
Beside him, Caitlyn was equally astonished, "Impressive, truly impressive..."
"This power surpasses the Atlas Gauntlets used by the miners by several levels..." Tobias restrained his expression slightly, addressing his wife.
Cassandra subtly nodded, her gaze fixed on Li Lin's Exoskeleton Arm.
"Which field do you plan to use your power arm in?"
She didn't inquire about the Hextech energy crystal, seemingly indifferent to it, focusing on Li Lin's seemingly unrelated invention.
"Accurately speaking, it's a complete set of exoskeleton power apparatus," Li Lin explained slowly, recounting his previous discussion with Jayce.
"In theory, it not only protects the wearer but also enhances their strength and is lightweight and flexible enough. It can be employed by dockworkers, miners in the mines, or even for some hazardous underwater operations."
Li Lin paused for a moment, then changed the topic, "However, I lean towards applying it in the military industry."
"Military? That's not an area our Kiramman family is involved in," Tobias, like Jayce before, was not in favor of Li Lin's perspective.
But before Li Lin could explain, Lady Cassandra calmly defended him, "Being involved in various fields is beneficial to our family."
"But, my dear, the Waldon, Bolbok, and Kevorold families..."
"They will agree to share the benefits with us." Cassandra kept her gaze on Li Lin, sounding confident. "Well, let's end it here for today."
She shifted her gaze to Jayce, "Your inventions are useful. In a few days at the Progress Day assembly, I need you and Li Lin to speak on stage."
"Speak?" Li Lin looked puzzled.
Although he had anticipated being pushed into the limelight by the Kiramman family to introduce himself as a young but genius inventor to numerous other families, he hadn't expected it to happen this way.
"This is our tradition. Every year, important inventions are summarized at Progress Day, and the most outstanding scientists are selected to give speeches on stage." Tobias explained with a smile.
"Oh, one more thing," Lady Cassandra added, "On Progress Day, I will introduce you to other families, and there will be an evening banquet. Remember to prepare in advance."
...
...
At midnight, Li Lin finally concluded a busy and tense day.
After a warm bath, he comfortably lay on his spacious two-meter-wide bed, recalling the events of the evening.
Lady Cassandra took away the Hextech energy crystal he had created, intending to showcase it as a sample at the Progress Day assembly.
Luckily, he still had one Hextech crystal left; otherwise, the progress of his exoskeleton power armor would have been delayed again.
Although Jayce had initially asked to study the crystal himself...
However, persuaded by Li Lin's "stubborn persuasion," Jayce reluctantly agreed.
As for the matter of the Progress Day banquet, to be honest, Li Lin wasn't very familiar with the social etiquette of high society banquets.
Fortunately, Caitlyn took the initiative and took care of all the related matters.
And despite Li Lin's objections, she insisted that he come to her for a lesson early the next morning.
"Ugh... Caitlyn can be quite a character. Lately, I've been staying up late for my research, and she just doesn't get that I need a break. She even expects me to wake up early," Li Lin complained. "I've been feeling a bit uneasy lately. Could it be that these late nights are pushing me toward an early grave?"
After careful consideration, he felt that this idea was not reliable.
After all, before he crossed over, he stayed up every day, and nothing happened, right?
"That should be the big one coming... I have to prepare quickly."
Li Lin turned over on the bed, discarding all stray thoughts, and immersed his mind in the system in his mind.
"I remember that after completing the energy crystal system today, I received a series of messages..."
He casually glanced at his complete panel:
[Name: Li Lin]
[Occupation: Mechanic]
[Level: 5]
[Health: 765/765]
[Mana: 113/113]
[Combat Power: 8]
[Skill Points: 7]
[Wealth: 0 Blue Essences, 0 Orange Essences]
[Mastered Skills: Proficient Manufacturing, Data Mind, Firearms Mastery, Basic Combat]
[Additional Function: Skill Panel]
[Level insufficient, function not unlocked...]
...
"Hmm?"
Li Lin suddenly noticed an "Additional Functions" module on the panel that wasn't there before.
It seems I unlocked it after reaching level 5.
When I unlocked the "Skill Upgrade" module earlier, I could only upgrade the skills I had already mastered.
At that time, I could only upgrade "Proficient Manufacturing" and "Data Mind," so I didn't pay much attention...
Now, they've unlocked a "Skill Panel" for me again, and it seems my skill points can finally come in handy.
Li Lin contemplated in his mind. Simultaneously, with a thought, he opened the skill panel.
The skill panel was concise, and with a quick glance, he strangely felt like he was playing Dungeon & Dragons.
Currently, he didn't have many skills to learn, and a significant portion of them were blueprints with names that sounded very familiar.
Such as Hextech Drinkblade, Hextech Gunblade, Hextech Prototype Belt-01, Hextech GLP-800, and other equipment that appeared in the game.
These blueprint-type skills he could design based on his current knowledge reserve, and using skill points on them would be a waste.
Soon, Li Lin's gaze locked onto three skill icons under the "Exclusive Skills" category.
[Exclusive Skills]
[Passive·Mechanic's Initiation: Speeds up the learning of mechanical knowledge by 50%, with a 1% chance to acquire rare blueprints or skills.]
[Skill Prerequisite: Mechanic profession, Level 5]
[With each level increase, gain a 10% increase in learning speed of mechanical knowledge and a 1% increase in the chance to acquire rare blueprints or skills.]
...
[Passive·Mechanical Affinity: Enhances affinity with mechanical creations, increasing mechanical manufacturing speed by 25%.]
[Skill Prerequisite: Mechanic's Initiation, Level 5]
[With each level increase, enhance affinity with mechanical creations, and increase mechanical manufacturing speed by 5%.]
...
[Active·Neural Network Connection: Masters the technology of connecting machinery with the human nervous system, enabling control of machinery through the brain.]
[Skill Prerequisite: None]
[Skill Level Cap: Level 1]
...
[Active·Mechanical Enhancement: Consumes mana and mechanical materials to upgrade mechanical devices (70% chance of upgrading from shoddy to fine, 35% chance of upgrading from fine to rare, 1% chance of upgrading from rare to artifact).]
[Skill Prerequisite: Mechanic's Initiation]
[With each level increase, increase the probability of upgrading from shoddy to fine by 3%, and the probability of upgrading from fine to rare by 2%.]
...
These were the two passive and two active skills that he unlocked after reaching level 5 and could learn using skill points.
The first two passive skills seemed more like providing buffs for the Mechanic profession, while the third skill, "Neural Network Connection," was a technology that the two city-states had already achieved.
Whether it was Hextech's enhanced prosthetics or Chemtech's enhanced bodies, it was essential to connect machinery to the nerves if one wanted enhanced prosthetics to surpass the functionality of the flesh.
As for the last skill, "Mechanical Enhancement," it was a skill to improve equipment quality, depending on luck.
However, considering it was the exclusive skill of a mechanic, and it might be a prerequisite for certain skills in the future, Li Lin spent four skill points to level up these four skills to level 1.
As for the remaining skill points, he decided to keep them in reserve.
