<h4>Chapter 916 High Grade Mechanical Sense</h4>
On the second satellite of the ck Star Army headquarters was Training Ground 001. This was a training za farrger than the training rooms and could supportrge scale battles. Furthermore, it was constructed with high tensile alloy and was capable of enduring even more powerful attacks. It was constructed like an oval-shaped sports stadium with arge mechanical roof covering the battlefield. The roof was made using a nano mimicry screen and could simte various battlefields. There were cargones underground that were connected to a warehouse of training mechanical soldiers.
Han Xiao sat at the side while watching the battle going on. Lagi, Feidin, Reynold, and the others were all beside him, either standing up or sitting down.
At this moment, there was an intense battle going on in the training ground. A few exits for the mechanical soldiers opened from the ground, and an endless stream of training mechanical soldiers came out from them. There were knights, mechanical beasts, Hovering Shield Shuttles, and many other types of mechanical soldiers charging at the two individuals in the middle of the training ground.
This battle was a D Grade battle, and the mechanical soldiers were all low grade ones. They used gunpowder and electromaic weapons, and the entire ground was charred ck from the intense battle.
One of the two figures on the battlefield was d in a ck heavy mechanical armor while the other had magical shields floating around him. They were Nero and Tomar.
After learning from Reynold for a few years, Nero was now at Grade B. Apart from theoretical lessons, Reynold had also arranged for somebat training.
Nero was still young, and his body was still at the stage of puberty. But because he had consumed the Starry Spiritual Dragon blood and the life force potions bestowed to him by Aurora, his cell activity was extremely high, and his physique wasparable to an adult. Furthermore, the strength of his Mechanical Force had also exceeded his current Grade.
After two years of in-depth training, his [Middle Grade Mechanical Sense] had transformed into [High Grade Mechanical Sense] under the aid of his [Advanced Luck Glow].
He was not allowed to use any weapons given to him by Han Xiao during training, and all the equipment he was using had been crafted by him personally. Under the boost from his Mechanical Force, his weapons could unleash a powerful might, and the mechanical soldiers were all sted into scrap metal by him.
Han Xiao had gone over to watch the battle so that he could check on Nero’s progress.
Tomar was also a protagonist-level character who had Luck Glow and had an extraordinary talent in magic. Spells that an ordinary Mage would take seven days to learn took him less than a day to grasp. His learning aptitude was stunning, and he grew up rapidly under Lagi’s tutge. He was also a talent who had a great deal of potential.
Boom!
Han Xiao stroked his chin as he watched the battle and said to Reynold, “His Mechanic abilities aren’t too bad, but his closebat skills are so-so. The moment the mechanical beasts approach him, he ends up being flustered. This is a result of ack of experience.”
“This is my oversight. I only had my sights set on his learning of machines but overlooked his closebat skills. I will definitely increase his training on closebat,” Reynold said calmly.
“Increase it greatly,” Han Xiao said with a deep voice. “But you cannot neglect his machinery training.”
“Understood.”
Bet, who was present by using a long-distance projection, revealed a gratified smile.
Feidin could no longer stand it and said helplessly, “A Mechanic’s weakness is closebat battle. ck Star, not every Mechanic can be the same as you. Don’t set your expectations so high.”
Han Xiao chuckled in response. “Dreams are necessary, and it isn’t bad to have higher expectations of him.”
He was truly happy in his heart. Nero’s Mechanical Sense had already reached the high grade, and it was a matter of time before he obtained Perfect Mechanical Sense.
“Tomar’s improvements are also extremely great.” After thinking for a while, Han Xiao patted Lagi on the shoulder. “You’ve taught him well.”
“What’s the use of that? One day, he...”
Han Xiao’s face darkened, and he covered Lagi’s mouth. “You can keep quiet now.”
Not too longter, Nero’s ammunition was exhausted, and Tomar’s magic ran out. The mechanical soldiers all stopped moving, and the training came to an end.
Both of them then returned to the viewing gallery while panting and sweat covered.
Han Xiao smiled and praised them. “Not bad.”
“His Excellency ck Star has trained you well,” Bet added. “In a few years, I won’t be a match for you.”
Receiving the praise from his father and Han Xiao, Nero’s face turned red, beaming with happiness.
Upon seeing that, Han Xiao nodded. He ced great importance in Nero not just because he wanted the [Perfect Mechanical Sense] but also because he hoped that Nero would grow to be a new pir of the army.
After praising them for a while more, they all boarded the spaceship and returned to headquarters.
After two years of digestion, the ck Star Army had stabilized, and there were a few more satellite fortresses around the headquarters to hold the new members of the army.
After returning to his office, Sylvia came to find him.
“Teacher, many people are asking me when ck Star’s Party will be held this year.”
Han Xiao thought for a while before saying, “How about in a few months? We can start to issue the invites already.”
The ck Star Army had already held two banquets to invite all those in cooperation with him to use the Evolution Cube. The banquet was bing more and more solemn and influential. Many organizations were hoping to make use of this opportunity to build rtionships with higher grade civilizations, and it was called ck Star’s Party. It was in apetitive rtionship with the Tyrant’s Party.
The Evolution Cube did not only bring them money but gave the ck Star Army an opportunity to expand into other fields. The army had a powerful brand image, and there were few organizations in the Star Field that couldpete with the army.
The benefits of the Evolutionary Totem created a snowball effect that allowed the ck Star Army to strengthen itself greatly. After two years of digestion, the operations of the ck Star Army had stabilized, and they were starting to look a bit more like a financial group.
Because of the Evolutionary Totem, there were more and more parties working together with the ck Star Army. The influence of the ck Star’s Party grew, and they were gradually bing a new faction.
If he released the restriction on the Evolutionary Totems, the profits obtained would increase many times over, but the pressure would also increase. Han Xiao was still satisfied with the current situation. The business pressure of the Evolutionary Totem was on the dynasty, and the army could avoid more than ny percent of the risk.
“Alright, I shall go and prepare the invitations. There is something else. An organization that isn’t cooperating with us wishes to participate in the ck Star’s Party.”
“The ck Star’s Party will only invite those cooperating with us, and we can reject everyone else. This is a rule that we set a long time ago. Why are you bringing this matter up now?”
“Because the other party is a bigshot, so I cannot make the decision. Thus, I came to seek your opinion.”
Han Xiao raised his brows, a little interested. “Who is the other party?”
“The Limitless Financial Group.”
Upon hearing that, Han Xiao paused and fell into deep thought.
Sorokin’s Limitless Financial Group?
Both parties had some conflicts before. Sorokin had once sent his subsidiary organization to probe the yers of the army and had been warned by Han Xiao. It had been more than two years since then, so who knew what kind of objective the other party had for suddenly participating in his ck Star’s Party?
“What’s their reason?” Han Xiao asked.
“The Limitless Financial Group wishes to have business cooperation with our army and says that it is rted to the Flickering World. They know that the dynasty will grant their allies some territory and want to work together with us.”
“I see. That is reasonable,” Han Xiao said.
Although the gctic financial groups could not be the first batch to enjoy the benefits of the Flickering World, their shadows could be seen in the future development ns.
The benefits of a new Star Field were extremely rich. Did the Limitless Financial Group want to seize the initiative?
Although the reason was believable, Han Xiao was still wary of the Limitless Financial Group because of their previous conflict.
After thinking for a moment, he said, “Send them an invitation if that’s the case. Tell them that I want to make use of this opportunity to meet Sorokin.”
The Pro League would finish in a few months, and Han Xiao was not afraid of the Limitless Financial Group creating any trouble.
Meeting the other party would be beneficial to him.
“Understood. I will take care of it.” Sylvia nodded and left the room.
Han Xiao then poured himself an alcoholic beverage and drank while going about his business.
He managed to find the time to open the forums after a while.
Today was the first round of the International Finals, which was a best of fivepetition. The first round was Rivervale against Tomahawk, and the viewership rates of the match set a new record again.
With three Chinese teams making it into the top eight, the yers from the Shattered Star Ring were all extremely excited. The way they saw it, if Dynasty, Long Sky, and Rivervale were all able to win the first round, there would be three Chinese teams in the top four!
At the same time, a portion of the yers who did not think highly of the Chinese teams could not help but retort that all the three teams might end up losing in the first round, and not a single team would be able to enter into the top four.
At the finals, all the teams would no longer hide their trump cards, and thepetition would be even more intense than before. Han Xiao was also pretty curious about the ranks that the Chinese teams could achieve this round.
