[Side Mission Triggered——"Roar of Freedom"]
[Type]: Battle
[Ti Limit]: 30 Natural Days
[Mission Difficulty]: B
[Introduction]:
"The rain falls on the righteous and the unrighteous. The poor are drenched, suffocate, and die in a high fever, while the rich hold oil-paper umbrellas and praise the natural dew."
The Grante Duchy has only 47 million people, yet it nourishes 630 million Frost Plated People. From the Bargla Volcano to the Agate Basin, this fertile land always yields abundant fat and sheep milk.
So, what is the price?
The price is watered with the blood of the People of Grante, whose helpless cries fall silent under the Frost Plated iron hooves.
Breaking the shackles, escaping colonial control, and roaring towards a free future, this is the choice of the people of Grante.
You are neither a hero nor a villain; you are rely a cold-hearted beneficiary. Yet, regardless of your intentions, your actions will secure the deserved power for the weak.
[Settlent Conditions]:
A. "Child of Volcano"— Overthrow the comprador group of Grante, help the people of Grante regain power, and rebuild the republic.
Reward: 1.2 million Experience
B. "Buried in the Ultramarine"— The greatest obstacle to the rebels is the rulers of the old world. Kill Duke Gamos Luwenqi Grante (Gamma Phase) of the Grante Duchy.
Reward: Random reward (based on mission assessnt, the higher the assessnt, the better the final reward)
——————————————
After the people from Sky Ring left, Li Aozi and the Lord of Oakland remained in the reception room, beginning to discuss the hard-to-assess deal.
"Mr. Leoz, in many people’s eyes, your origin is, after all, Frost Plated. Isn’t this move going to have so impact?"
The Lord of Oakland, supporting his chin and rotating a white porcelain teacup, asked curiously.
Li Aozi, not interested in the tea, crossed his arms and played with a mory module containing professional knowledge, countering:
"Why do you think so?"
"Sky Ring knows that you have been hitting the anti-human organization heroes, and now they ask you to instigate colonial independence. Won’t this provoke the anger of the Frost Plated nationalists?" The Lord of Oakland, still supporting his chin, questioned, "What surprises is that you agreed?"
"There are no nationalists among the Frost Plated. If this continues, all they will have is male and female fists." Li Aozi dismissed the concern: "As for public opinion, don’t be fooled by the online support; most of it is just lip service. If anything, bleeding the Frost Plated a bit might wake them up to realize who their enemies are."
"The enemy in the Twin Palaces...?" The Lord of Oakland leaned back and couldn’t help but admire: "Your perspective is vast. The vision of the Four Nations can’t compare to that of the Outer World."
"There’s no need to be overly modest. The Oakland Family has been operating for so many years amid the pressure from the Frost Plated and Sky Ring, which shows your ability is no less than the rulers of the Four Nations."
"I’ll take that as a complint."
Li Aozi casually opened a newly created GTB bank account on the terminal. Sky Ring had given him 20 million Zhu, equivalent to 1 million Derby.
This was just the fee for hiring him; once he arrived at the Grante Duchy, there would be funds specifically for instigating colonial action.
With half a month left until the beta players go online, the tily injection from Sky Ring enabled his biological pool to expand further.
"Next, I can start making the Arcane Awakening Elixir."
In the following days, the benefits of associating with the Lord of Oakland quickly beca apparent.
In the na of Triangle Town, Li Aozi openly imported so biochemical raw materials from Frost Plated and Sky Ring. In less than a week, his laboratory had expanded three tis.
During this period, Li Aozi also completed learning the "Arcane Refinent Theory" and dumped the remaining experience into it, elevating this professional knowledge to the professor level.
As a result, the developnt level of [Gravitational] Arcane Energy progressed to a new realm:
——————————————
Core Arcane——[Gravity Contact]
[Rating]: Oga (Ω, the 24th and last Greek letter)
[Developnt Level]: Contact Level
[Introduction]:
[Gravity Contact]—You have gained a more intuitive understanding of ’gravity,’ one of the four fundantal forces of the universe. Before you lies not just fields of force and speed, but opportunities to touch deeper realms.
You have fallen into the trap it has woven for you—but you are willing. Truly, I hope you keep it that way.
Gravity, such a marvelous and mysterious power, whose strength is infinite, also fuels your endless ambition.
The authority of the deities granted you the power to distort reality, yet you seek to covet the deities themselves.
Stop here; re contact is enough.
"Newton lied to you. Gravity is only by my side."
Range: A spherical space with a radius of 50 ters centered on you.
[Active Effects]:
Mode One: Sovereign
Consu Arcane Energy to freely control the intensity and direction of gravity within range, altering gravitational acceleration. (Can create up to 150G)
The target selection of gravity ignores attribute checks but is affected by anti-gravity effects.
Mode Two: Distortion
You can achieve optical invisibility by distorting the gravitational field around you, bending light. (Optical weapons have a 70% chance of being deflected when targeting you)
[Passive Effects]:
①: Your body is favored by the power of the cosmos—receive 18% damage reduction;
②: You have penetrated deeper gravitational laws, your body is permanently shrouded in a gravitational field—immune to ti-related skills (including: ti stop, stasis, accelerated aging, and ti deceleration effects no longer affect you).
③: Gravity’s child is never heard of dying from a fall—immune to high-altitude fall damage.
[Current Developnt Level]: Contact Level. Arcane Energy consumption rate at this developnt level is—100%;
——————————————
The effects of gravity further improved, and the use of Oga-level Arcane Energy beca more versatile.
With the "Professor Level - Energy Refinent Theory" in hand, the speed of developing Arcane Energy would be much faster. Li Aozi planned to elevate the developnt level of gravitational Arcane Energy to the next level, Control Level, before entering space.
However, this also left Li Aozi worrying about experience points again.
On one hand, although his [Biochemist] was a secondary profession, it still leveled up according to the main profession’s standards.
Additionally, each piece of professional knowledge consud a significant amount of experience.
A piece of knowledge’s mastery levels ranged from Basic, Interdiate, Advanced, Bachelor, Master, Professor, Pioneer, to Scholarly Faction Level.
Every improvent in level required double the experience of the previous level.
Li Aozi estimated that to upgrade a piece of professional knowledge to the Scholarly Faction Level would probably require exterminating all life on Azure Star.
The [Fine Artistry] professions cost far more than the [Sovereign] professions. It’s often said that expertise is much more costly, but in Starry Abyss, trying to carve out a path of blood has a higher success rate with a [Martial Artist] profession.
Even so, in the eyes of NPCs, Li Aozi’s learning speed was terrifying. He previously mastered "Pioneer-Level Biochemical Material Science," which allowed him to craft top-tier materials on Azure Star. With the addition of "Bio-Armor Technology," he could imdiately manufacture Bio-implant Armor and make [chanic]s like Du Zexin doubt their life choices, just like a professor.
Fortunately, the task triggered by the visitor from Sky Ring could temporarily ease his imdiate concerns.
