Chapter 5: Lightweight Power Arm(A)

“Drink!”

Hai-La exhaled forcefully. Her pink fist shot forward with majestic power, slamming into Han Xiao's chest like a bullet and creating a crackling airburst.

Han Xiao tensed his fist, endured the suffocating sensation in his chest, grabbed Hai-La's combat uniform collar with his large hand, twisted his waist, and threw her to the other side with an over - the - shoulder slam.

Hai-La remained completely calm. Her palms hit the ground, and she rolled lightly, easily neutralizing the over - the - shoulder throw.

Seeing this, Han Xiao didn't pursue further and stood in place, rubbing his chest.

“Is that all the progress you've made?” Hai-La's face showed dissatisfaction.

Han Xiao remained silent. He was deliberately holding back. With his current performance, the organization should have given up on him. However, in the past six months, Hai-La still trained him in combat every day, and today she was particularly harsh.

Hai-La didn't expect Han Xiao to respond. She knew that Zero (Han Xiao) was taciturn, like an emotionless robot. Although she was a supervisor, she was actually quite idle. She had nothing much to do at the base every day, and training Han Xiao was one of the few activities she engaged in. After learning that the chief wanted to hand Han Xiao over to Lin Weixian, Hai-La felt mixed emotions.

Although the two of them almost never communicated, after half a year of getting along, there was always a somewhat different feeling. Even if it were a commonly used object, one would feel a sense of loss when parting with it, let alone a person. Perhaps it was a trace of attachment, but Hai-La couldn't bear to see Han Xiao being dismembered into hundreds of pieces of broken meat on Lin Weixian's test bench, that scoundrel.

How many times had those familiar faces disappeared on an ordinary day, never to be seen again?

The organization's cold - blooded style had cost her many friends.

And …… her sister, Hai-La thought ruefully.

If Zero could display his combat talent at the last moment, perhaps the chief would change his mind. That was why she had been so hard on Han Xiao in training today.

Unfortunately, miracles really didn't come easily.

“The chief has agreed to let Lin Weixian dissect and study you ……” Hai-La sighed.

Technically speaking, this was the first thing Hai-La had said to Zero that had nothing to do with training.

Hai-La didn't notice that Han Xiao's eyes briefly sharpened and then returned to normal.

“So, this day has finally come ……” Han Xiao had long anticipated that his performance would eventually lead to this outcome. To the Sprout Organization, useless people were like junk stocks that needed to be quickly dumped to recoup their investment as early as possible.

But he didn't regret it at all. Because the degree of attention was related to the degree of surveillance. If he showed his extraordinary features in a high - profile manner, he would only be exploited even more miserably. Moreover, with his identity, it was impossible for him to enter the core layer of the Sprout Organization. He would always be treated as a tool, at best, just a matter of whether he was useful or not. Otherwise, Han Xiao really wouldn't have minded working for the Sprout Organization.

Han Xiao suddenly caught sight of a photo on the ground. It seemed to have fallen out of Hai-La's pocket during the over - the - shoulder throw just now. He bent down and picked it up.

It was a group photo. The background of the photo was the blue sea and sky. At the junction of the sea and sky, a round sunset hung, casting a warm glow. Two little girls standing side by side were the main subjects of the photo. One was a young Hai-La, smiling brightly and lively. The other girl looked somewhat similar to Hai-La, but her hair was snow - white, looking gentle and well - behaved.

Hai-La's expression changed. She lunged forward fiercely to retrieve the photo. Seeing that the photo was undamaged, she let out a sigh of relief, carefully put the photo close to her body, looked deeply at Han Xiao, then turned around and left the training ground.

Suddenly, a message popped up on the panel.

[You triggered the D - ranked mission [Night Lords Program], accept/abandon?]

Han Xiao's gaze flickered slightly. This was the first time he had triggered a mission in half a year.

There was no need to hesitate. Accept!

[Mission tip: The dark and bloody rise of the Sprout Organization has always been a mystery kept hidden by the six powers of Aquamarine Planet. Hai-La has an unknown past. Is she really loyal to the Sprout Organization? You have grasped a hint of clues. Tracing them down may lead to unexpected gains, but there may also be unexpected …… dangers! Of course, you can also offer this clue to certain well - intentioned people in exchange for a reward, or you can let the clue rot in your stomach. Either way, the choice is yours.]

The quest was obviously triggered by the photo. Coincidentally, Han Xiao happened to recognize the white - haired girl. It was Hai-La's sister, Aurora.

Aurora also had psychic abilities, but her psychic abilities and Hai-La's were at two extremes. Hai-La's were extremely aggressive, while Aurora's bloodline was equipped with strong healing abilities. She could even prolong life and bring the dead back to life. Aurora was brainwashed and controlled by the Sprout Organization. Not only was her power used, but it was also used as blackmail to make Hai-La do a lot of bloody work for the Sprout Organization.

The only thing Hai-La cared about was her sister.

At the end of version 1.0, the war between the six countries and the Sprout Organization entered a heated stage. The war was intense. The Sprout Organization dismembered Aurora and used her flesh and blood to make countless copies of a healing potion whose effect was comparable to a “second life”. They achieved a great victory in the local battlefield. Hai-La, who was on the front line, didn't learn of what had happened until a few months later.

Hai-La was completely devastated. The Sprout Organization had already anticipated her reaction. They sent a large number of experts to capture Hai-La and imprisoned her immediately. Hai-La endured inhumane torture in prison. The deep - seated hatred gave her incredible tenacity. She endured all the torture and finally found the opportunity to escape from prison.

Since then, Hai-La had become cold - blooded and brutal. She used countless lives to develop her supernatural powers, becoming stronger by any means necessary. She completely fell into the evil camp and finally became the “Goddess of Death” of the Broken Star.

Although the present Hai-La was indifferent, compared with the future Goddess of Death who regarded thousands of living beings as dust and destroyed civilizations, she was ten thousand times kinder. If there was a chance, Han Xiao wanted to help her and change Hai-La's tragic future. Not out of pity, but to avoid trouble. In his previous life, Hai-La was simply a crazy woman, killing anyone she encountered. Han Xiao was unlucky enough to meet Hai-La more than a dozen times, and every time, his warships were blown up, resulting in huge losses.

To change Hai-La's future, the key lay with Aurora.

But for now, Han Xiao didn't have the ability to do so. Escape was the top priority.

Every two months, Hai-La would leave the lab regularly. There were still two days until Hai-La left again, and he had accumulated enough experience.

The opportunity had finally come.

......

Returning to his mechanical modification room, Han Xiao called up the panel. He now had three professions: civilian, agent, and mechanical initiator.

The civilian occupation could be ignored. The other two were his means of escaping the lab.

Among the five major occupation systems, the mechanical department was relatively the weakest in the early stages. But he didn't regret his choice at all. The mechanical department was the most suitable occupation for him.

The Mechanical Department leaned towards logistics and life professions in the early stages. However, after version 3.0 opened up the high - end knowledge of the Occupation Knowledge Tree, the Mechanical Department's combat power skyrocketed and gradually became popular. It was even separated from the Martial Arts Department, which had the most players.

In the later stages, a high - level mechanic was equivalent to an intergalactic army!

The Mechanical Department was known for having numerous skills. Every kind of drawing invention was equivalent to a skill, and the Mechanical Department had thousands of drawings. So, its late - stage development potential was extremely high. Different skills could be combined to form countless combat modes, such as trap flow, position flow, heavy artillery flow, sniper flow, legionary flow, mecha flow, and so on ……

However, the drawbacks were also obvious. Training a mechanical expert required several times more experience than other professions.

After careful consideration, Han Xiao invested his experience into the Mechanical Starter profession and leveled up frantically.

[[Mechanical Starter] Upgraded to lv3, qi +10, intellect +1, endurance +1, gained 2 free attribute points, gained 1 potential point]
