But for C-level items, it gets sowhat challenging. As a rule of thumb, only C-level items can bring career-specific traits, and it’s normal not to fully understand items of the sa level.
Moreover, creating designs from scratch, relying solely on a chanical Engineer’s knowledge, is insufficient; further assistance is required.
chanical design, which specializes in design-related chanical knowledge, should be able to complent the deficiencies of a chanical Engineer.
After spending over ten thousand points of tal energy, a prompt popped up on the control screen.
[chanical Design Advanced Career—chanical Designer acquired. Do you want to consu Controlled Objects to solidify this career?]
[chanical Designer: Possesses related knowledge and has the career abilities of [Design] and [Optimization].]
[Design: Consu tal energy to aid in creating blueprints.]
[Optimization: Consu tal energy to optimize the design of blueprints.]
This career was his target, but he hesitated a bit.
To upgrade to B-level, it would take a hundred thousand points. Should he give it a try?
He was eager to find out if the careers could be advanced further. If they could, it wouldn’t be a loss, as their abilities would be incredibly strong.
Li Ming did not hesitate for long and soon made up his mind.
However, to his surprise, the tal energy didn’t budge—it was unable to upgrade.
He frowned slightly, sensing the flow of information in his mind.
"Special energy is required as support to continue upgrading," Li Ming realized. So the fundantal role of special energy was to assist in upgrades.
No wonder items reinforced by special energy undergo a transformation when upgraded.
It seems the importance of special energy has increased, Li Ming considered, realizing he already had several items enhanced by special energy.
He was ready to take a gamble, and he wasn’t disappointed now, imdiately solidifying the chanical Designer.
After solidification, the expected influx of information didn’t co. Instead, another prompt appeared—
[chanical Engineer and chanical Designer share common traits. Would you like to rge them?]
Careers can be rged? Li Ming was astonished and didn’t hesitate to try it out.
[Career fusion acquired, new career—chanical Research Scholar.]
The next mont, the familiar sensation finally arrived. His mind was flooded with a massive amount of information, causing him an excruciating headache. After adjusting for a while, he finally recovered.
"If it were an ordinary person receiving so much information all at once, they’d probably be overwheld into stupidity," Li Ming massaged his temples.
It wasn’t just his own resilience that got him through—it was also supported by another force.
After all, this kind of information transfer wasn’t rely rote morization; it truly beca as natural as moving one’s limbs. Shaking his head, he examined his new career.
[chanical Research Scholar: Proficient in relevant knowledge and has the abilities of [chanical Maintenance] and [Temporary Optimization].]
[chanical Maintenance: Consu equivalent tal energy to instantly repair damaged Controlled Objects.]
[Temporary Optimization: Consu equivalent tal energy to designate the enhancent of Controlled Object abilities.]
Li Ming was quite surprised. Originally, both were support functions, but after rging, they could provide a certain level of enhancent in combat.
The so-called equivalent tal energy is the control energy needed for the target Controlled Object.
This ability corresponds to two aspects: Controlled Objects used for materialization and items placed in the main Control Bar.
For instance, Combat Armor, if shattered by an enemy, could be instantly repaired, which would certainly surprise the enemy.
He tried it out with a low-level Controlled Object, and [Temporary Optimization] could temporarily increase ability data by 50%, which was quite powerful.
However, it also consud tal energy, and his main Controlled Objects were mostly at the ten-thousand level, so they could be depleted with just a little use.
After all these operations, he had about a hundred and fifty thousand points of tal energy left. The rged career was good, and although it contradicted his original intent, it was an unexpected gain.
"Although the abilities of a chanical Designer are gone, the knowledge remains, so it’s not a big problem; it’ll just take so ti." Li Ming pondered, considering how to maximize its use.
The first thing he thought of, of course, was to design and build himself.
However, a production line factory presented a significant challenge, involving a complex series of operations, market developnt, and competition. The current environnt was clearly not suitable for these activities.
In the future, he even wanted to establish his own mining base, alloy slting, and other production lines, which would reduce the cost of drawing tal energy to an extrely low level.
The only issue was that the Blue Star market wasn’t great, and there was no guarantee that the designs would sell.
Li Ming had already thought of a solution—the Black Hole Network.
He browsed it and found not many selling blueprints. After looking at the related procedures, he realized they were quite troubleso.
Because the blueprints needed verification, and if the other party picked nits after verification, disputes could ensue.
He accessed the backend, reached out to the official communication, and sent a ssage: "Do you accept design blueprints?"
"Anything of value, the Black Hole Network will accept," the reply ca promptly, clearly from artificial intelligence.
Once he confird this, Li Ming was at ease. The only thing he needed to focus on now was the price.
......
In the Secret Council, within Fu Zongchen’s office, he held a serpent-neck flask, its contents, a faint purple liquid shimring with a misty glow, slowly pouring into a goblet.
Sain reached out to take it, swirling the glass and taking a sniff at the rim before exclaiming, "Deerport, at least three hundred years, tsk... what a find."
"Your Excellency Sain is truly spectacular, 312 years, just the right vintage," Fu Zongchen said with a smile. Both n were seated on a sofa, letting the liquor slide down their throats, and neither spoke at first.
