Mag-log inNext, Jake took a deep breath and turned his attention to the Lv.8 blueprint, glowing with a deep blue light.[Vehicle Upgrade Blueprint (Lv.7 → Lv.8)][Required Materials:][1. Motorhome at Lv.7 (Met)][2. 500 units of High-Strength Titanium Alloy or better, including at least 250 units of Blue Titanium Alloy grade or higher][3. Mid-Grade Starlight Stone x1][4. Precision Electronic Components x500 sets][5. Any External Weapon Blueprint x1]Jake scanned the materials list and raised an eyebrow slightly.Apart from the metal, he already met every requirement.But this was an upgrade to a Lv.8 motorhome, a vehicle that represented top-tier combat power. How could he use low-end High-Strength Titanium Alloy for the metal at the core of its defenses?"If I'm doing this, I'm using nothing less than Hyperalloy across the board."A ruthless glint flashed in Jake's eyes.His [Infinite Synthesis] Gold Mod could synthesize Hyperalloy, but you couldn't make bricks without straw. S
On the motorhome's second floor, Jake sat down on the soft sofa, took a deep breath, and began taking stock of his haul from the trip.This time, his gains were nothing short of staggering as well.First, he had awakened the one and only hidden branch of the Mysticism specialization sequence: [Vehicle Sync]. This god-tier skill not only broke the system's iron rule of "vehicles banned in side quests," it also gave him the confidence to take on a god with nothing but a mortal body.Even more outrageous, because of his absurdly high Mind base of 952, the instant he learned the specialization, he jumped several tiers in one go and landed straight at Tier 5. He was now far ahead of every other player on the server, who were still struggling away at Tier 1 or 2.After advancing to Tier 5, his very level of existence had risen too, letting him hold even more Mind. At Tier 5, in Deus Ex Machina mode, his Physique, Physical Defense, and Magic Resistance were all boosted fivefold.Accord
Vera licked her slightly dry lips and went on."As long as I have enough Arcana materials, I can brew all kinds of supernatural serums! Healing Serum and Slumber Serum are just the basics. I could even brew Berserk Serum, Silence Serum, maybe even Invisibility Serum!""Wow! That's so amazing!"Lilith clasped her hands over her heart, little stars of admiration twinkling in her eyes.Vera chuckled.The more knowledge a Medical awakener had, the more terrifying the tricks they could pull off. In the hands of a mad scientist like Vera, a Tier 3 specialization could deliver three hundred percent of its strategic value!What's more, the research subjects she was most obsessed with were "dissection" and "evolution." With Jake's subspace backing her up, a place that kept cells alive forever, she had a huge natural advantage when it came to live experiments."Oh, right, Boss," Vera said, licking her lips. "Angel's been stuck at the peak of Tier 5 this whole time. Using the Arcana knowle
The very thought of it was a nightmare for any carbon-based life form!"Very good. Your sniping is now a real deterrent on a whole new level," Jake said approvingly.Then everyone's eyes landed on Lilith, who was perched on a tall stool, her legs dangling in the air.Lilith was wearing a white dress again today, looking like a delicate porcelain doll. Seeing everyone looking at her, she nervously pinched the hem of her skirt and blinked her big sapphire-blue eyes. Her voice came out as faint as a mosquito's hum."My... my [General: Drawing] reached Tier 2 too. At Tier 1, my drawings were just really lifelike. Now... now I can draw some simple little animals and make them manifest, so they come alive..."As she spoke, she lowered her little head dejectedly. "But manifesting even one little bird uses up a ton of Mind. So... I think this ability isn't very useful. It can't help you..."Seeing the little girl look so dejected, Jake laughed and shook his head."Lilith, you're underes
In the Mist Town side quest, Bella and the other girls hadn't contributed much on the front lines. Jake had more or less shielded them the whole way and carried them to the finish.Still, it was a Nightmare-difficulty side quest. Even getting carried through it came with generous rewards.Each of them had received an extremely valuable Specialization Upgrade Blueprint.By now, Bella (Engineering), Raina (Marksmanship), and Lilith (General: Drawing) had all broken through to Tier 2. Iris (Reconnaissance) and Vera (Medical) had gone even further, seizing the chance to leap straight into the rare realm of Tier 3."Let's start with you, Bella."Jake leaned back in the wide leather chair at the head of the table. "Tell me in detail. Now that your specialization has ranked up, what real changes have you seen in your abilities?"Bella gently tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and took a deep breath, her lovely almond-shaped eyes shining with confidence."After my Engineering specia
Sharply sensing the murderous glance from the corner of Raina's eye, Iris jolted in fright.She cleared her throat and guiltily avoided Jake's gaze, stammering out an explanation."Ahem... well, last night... last night I stayed up binge-watching a show! Yeah, a really great long-running series with tons of action scenes! So... I got so into it that I didn't sleep very well..."Lilith, sitting beside her, blinked her big sapphire-blue eyes.When she'd gotten up this morning, she had noticed that the trash can beside Iris's bed was piled high with bloody tissues. Just how good was that show?"You binge-watched a show?"Bella, walking over with a plate, narrowed her pretty, almond-shaped eyes at the words and looked the guilty Iris up and down.As the most mature woman there, how could she miss the holes in Iris's story?What a dirty-minded little minx!Iris always looked so sweet and innocent, but who knew the girl had this much nerve! Using her Reconnaissance skill to peep? No
