There was a chain of effect between Ordnance Engineer and Mechanic ss. The skills and attributes perfectly fit with the Mechanic ss, and this subss was equivalent to half of the main ss. The levels used for this type of subss were used at their maximum potential value.
Engineer-type sses focused on intelligence, and they did not provide anybat abilities. However, being an Engineer was more valuablepared to having some additionalbat skills. Ordnance meant war machinery such as turrets, armor, shields, and so on. This subss would provide additional buffs when creating and using war machinery.
Han Xiao pulled out the stack of experience that he had umted and spent it all on those two skills.
_____________________
[War-machinery Mastery] Lv.10: When using war machinery, get an additional 18% attack and defense bonus.
[Quick War-machinery Repairs] Lv.10: When repairing war machinery, the efficiency increases by 24%. During the repairing process, randomly restore 3% – 6% durability. The chances depend on INT. No maximum urrence.

The effects on these two skills were simple yet brutal, and they were extremely useful for the current Han Xiao. However, the main reason that he wanted to obtain the subss was the ability unlocked after maxing it out.
He directly used 90 million experience points to max out the subss.

In total, this ss gave him 10 Endurance points, 30 Intelligence points, 15% Machinery Affinity, 20 Free Attribute points, and 10 Potential points. There would also be additional Potential points, including the reward, after maxing out the levels of the skills.
Currently, Han Xiao’s intelligence attributes reached 391. If he used all his Free Attribute points, it would surpass the requirement of his ss change—400.
Ordnance Engineer was maxed out, and just like the Night Stalker, he also got a new ability.

<i>This is the same as having another power boost for the machinery. </i>Han Xiao nodded and looked at the other ability, which he valued the most.

Productivity was the essence of this subss.
A mechanic had multiple stages in their development, and each of them was indicated by certain benchmarks. One of them was fast building while fighting, which was one of the reasons the mechanic became powerful in Version 3.0. As for the assembly line, it was the mark of theter stages. Mass production was a vital step to develop the most explosive, most brutal, and most costly tactic, which was known as the Rush Strat.
For normal mechanics, they would use the best weapons made out of the best materials. For mass production, the equipment created had low quality. Although the difference in quality would increase between normal Mechanics and Mechanics that used mass production, thetter could stack up an uncountable amount of machinery and suppress the enemy with numbers.
Mechanics and Mages were two powerful sses in theter stage. The Rush Strat from the Mechanic and the Summon Rush Strat could turn a one-on-one battle to survival against a zombie horde. These two battle styles ruined the game experience as exceedingly few yers could win against them.
However, even though these two strategies were strong, the cost was obscene. The cost of building one single army was detrimental to the yers. Moreover, at theter stages of the game, all yers had the ability to fight against an army. So, although the Rush Strat could overpower the opponent, there would also be an unneglectable cost in their own army. If they joined thepetitive scene, with matches after matches, thebat ability of the army would also decrease, and after ten or twenty matches, the yer would use up everything they had.
And if two used the Rust Strat, then everything became simple. With one team-fight between two armies, both sides would lose all their forces in one match.
Therefore, in the previous world, the Rush Strat was seen as a myth. One hardly found these yers. So, if anyone was such a yer, they would treasure that moment, since the meta could change at any time.
Han Xiao had analyzed the situation. Because the yers were in a weaker stage, he could deal with them with ease. However, the yers would be deadlier in theter stage, and different sorts of powers would arise. So, Han Xiao did not want to take risk, and the Rush Strat was the obvious choice.
What, the Rush Strat was costly?
In the eyes of the Great Mechanic Han, money was not a problem.
Especially since he had obtained the ability to reduce cost, Han Xiao had no worries about costs and money in the future.
Han Xiao had a long-term n for his development. Even though he had not learned the knowledge to create assembly lines, he had gotten all the important abilities.
Level 80 would mark another ss change, and the ss advancement mission required 60 million experience. Han Xiao let out a sigh—it was a piece of cake for him.
In Version 2.0, the maximum level was 90, but that of the current version was level 60. yers in Version 1.0 did not know anything about ss advancement missions. Because they could not break the barrier, the yers had to experience two ss advancement missions at level 60 and level 80. The ss advancement at level 60 would make a huge, but not so much for the one at level 80.
The ‘piece of cake’ was just in the standards of the Great Mechanic Han. The yers would have to spend an enormous amount of time to umted 60 million experience points. Han Xiao spent 90 million experience to go from level 70 to level 80, while the yers had nothing in their pocket, so they could only grind level by level.
On top of that, the ss advancement did not give back anything after paying the experience, so the yers all wanted to quit.
Han Xiao was in a good mood, and he thought to himself, <i>I only need two more ss advancement knowledges. If I can get enough money from this mission, then I should just head back home, settle down, find a nice wife, and have kids... Yikes. That sure sounds boring. Well, I can change ss and get a new main ss.</i>
After leaving the bar, Han Xiao and Lerden wandered in the Forest City.
The sky was filled with stars, and the gentle light from the stars rested on their shoulders. Even though this was a dangerous ce, it had magnificent views.
The green mountains and forests loomed far away, the rustling sound of leaves echoed as the wind passed by, and the gxy that was hanging on the night sky glowed. Han Xiao could see why the Sunils might choose this for their new environment.
With a shake of his head, Han Xiao recalled a quote. <i>The most dangerous things often has the most beautiful appearance.</i>
“Where are you going?” Lerden asked.
“Just walking around.”
“Then let’s get out of here and head to the base.”
“Is there nothing for you to do here?” Han Xiao asked. “Like going back home?”
Lerden shook his head. “I don’t have a family.”
Han Xiao stroke his shin and said, “What mission do you have?”
“Frontlinebat.”
“That’s the most dangerous job. You Supers had already given your money earned from your blood, sweat, and tears to the race, and you still have to go on such a dangerous mission. No wonder you are viewed as heroes.”
Lerden’s eyes leaked his confused emotion. He was about to open his mouth, but he stopped himself and shook his head.
Han Xiao saw everything in his eyes. He was d that he had gotten the information that he wanted.
<i>I didn’t guess it wrong. The storyline for Sunil already exists...</i>
The mercenary job was not the main goal for this trip; Han Xiao had another goal.
