Chapter 523 69. To celebrate the coming of the Fourth Impact, the "Trading Day" special event returns for a limited time!
The Mason Manufacturing Group has just encountered a "crisis of destruction."
Twelve manufacturing masters and their assistants died in an instant. Although they were quickly "resurrected", this incident still sounded a certain alarm bell for the captain.
It is said that after joining the Bat Family, the alarm bells in Mason's little head never stopped.
Every vulnerability or risk that is accidentally triggered will be recorded as soon as possible and a countermeasure plan can be customized in the shortest time.
Never leave the crisis discovered today to be dealt with tomorrow. This is the code of conduct of the Bat Family.
Therefore, after the Mason Water apostles were dismissed to work separately, the Mason main body did not leave the pocket factory immediately. Instead, he found a quiet place and began to think about how to strengthen the "risk resistance" of the Mason manufacturing team.
"You can make 'cores' for them."
Energy manipulation has always been Hat's area of expertise, so Hat quickly came up with a feasible solution. It was placed in Mason's hand, and a vague human face was dented in the hat to propose to the younger generation he was optimistic about:
"Like golems in the field of fantasy engineering, and like elemental servants that can exist for a long time in the category of elemental magic. If these things want to exist without the commander for a long time, they must have a core that can maintain their own existence.
Your water incarnation can also be considered a special 'water elemental' creature.
I have seen similar cases in Black Strange's magic book. If you need it, I can teach you how to make the elemental core. ”
"Is this what you're talking about?"
Mason took out a large Heart of the Deep Pearl from his luggage and took out the inscription work. Within a few minutes, he produced a delicate little object similar to an ivory ball. Although it only took a short time, due to various manufacturing industries The bonus makes the things Mason makes randomly shine with a noble purple light.
He put it in the palm of his hand and tossed it up and down, saying:
"I have also read Black Strange's magic book. Although I can't understand it, I will always instinctively keep these production-related knowledge in mind. It's just that they have a physical core and will be targeted.
You know, the Mason manufacturing regiment is also a combat force that I can push into the battlefield when necessary, and I cannot leave them with obvious weaknesses. ”
"Then what are you going to do?"
Hat asked a question, Mason hesitated and said:
"Give them more autonomy! Give them characteristics closer to independent life. I asked Iceman before, and he told me that he can use mutant powers to create a 'snowman' that can exist independently outdoors for several days and act autonomously.
If he can do it, then as a clone based on his genetic blueprint, I can do it too.
Doppelgangers are the true masters in this regard, and I have asked the 'Supreme Doppelgangers' in Utopia for similar knowledge. ”
"But there are risks!"
Hat lowered his voice and said:
"There is always a risk in giving creations too much freedom, not to mention that your water avatars have extremely high intelligence from the beginning, and you have given them independent personalities.
Just in case
I mean in extreme cases, if a certain water body is instigated to rebel."
"Very good, this crisis thinking that doesn't trust anyone is great. You are already a qualified 'Bat Hat'. Hat, maybe I should consider giving you to Dachao or other guys who are in urgent need of an external brain."
Mason applauded and said to the hat:
"So we also need an 'anti-Mason manufacturing team tactic'. Fortunately, the water clones created by me as a template all have the same fatal weakness as me.
We all don't like close combat, and our melee skills are very poor. This is a great weakness that can be targeted to prevent and prepare for. ”
As he spoke, Mason flicked his fingers and created four more lifelike water avatars under the hat's surprised gaze.
"Wait!"
Hat asked:
"Didn't you say that the current 12 water clones and 36 lower-level clones are the limit that you can control well? What's going on with these four?"
"Hold on, hat. I just praised you for having a bat mentality. Why are you so slow now?"
Mason patted the hat body dissatisfied and said:
"No matter how much you trust others, you can't reveal all your trump cards. You've been in close contact with Batman for more than a day or two. Why would you make such a stupid inquiry about something like this?"
"Oh, is it my fault that I don't have your hopeless persecution paranoia and doomsday survivalist logic?"
Hat retorted with a long voice, and then saw Mason giving orders to his four "secret water clones":
"From today on, you are the 'deep divers' of the Mason Manufacturing Group. It is a special sequence. I don't need you to take on manufacturing responsibilities. You have only one task.
Go and roll the iron for me! Practice your melee combat skills, learn weapon usage and assassination! It just so happens that the old man is on vacation these days, so he will train you. ”
The four water avatars nodded at the same time, and during the water body transformation, they shaped their appearance into the appearance of the Isu master assassin. They used a black hood to cover their figure and face, and chose a weapon for themselves from Mason's arsenal. , each of them wore double hidden swords and looked majestic.
But with their current terrible melee skills, if they use this thing rashly, they may cut off their own hands.
"I don't have high demands on you either."
Mason’s thoughts on the “Mason Melee Squad”:
"There are still twenty-nine days before the fourth impact arrives. Before this situation officially unfolds, it should be no problem to upgrade our poor melee skills to Lv6+, right?"
"唰"
The four expressionless, extremely cold melee Masons nodded in unison, just like four professional cold bodyguards.
"Good, then this problem can be considered solved."
Mason breathed a sigh of relief.
Solving a problem satisfied some of his paranoid thoughts, and he began to seriously invest in exploring the new abilities he had just acquired.
The fully awakened Isu blood concentration has soared from 9.94% to 21.3%. According to the description of the Isu creatures mentioned by Sister Ka before, Mason has officially entered the realm of "demigod".
Of course, the gold content of Isu demigods is not that high, at least it is not as good as that of real demigods like Diana, and the Isu blood concentration of 21.3% is still some way from the optimal ratio of 35%.
This means that Mason is far from reaching the peak he can reach. After the bloodline is fully awakened, the concentration of the bloodline will automatically increase as time goes by. There is no need for Mason to worry about this aspect, and the racial talents that have changed are basically the same as before. Mason is already used to the enhanced version of his talent, so there is no need to say more.
The only thing that's more troublesome is the heightened senses.
He doesn't need to listen or perceive with his heart now when he closes his eyes. Every situation happening in the entire pocket factory can be sensed and explored.
It's like a humanoid self-propelled radar that can see and hear wherever you go.
The most annoying thing is that this thing is a "passive skill". Mason has no way to turn it off and can only find a way to adapt to the huge amount of "environmental information" that pours into his mind all the time.
This includes but is not limited to the private complaints made by various members of the Mason Manufacturing Group against the main body of Mason, as well as their overt and covert fights and cliques.
The subject listened here for five minutes and summarized at least 14 different "secret groups."
It can be imagined that the entire Mason Manufacturing Group currently only has 12 members, and there are probably no less than 60 small groups formed among each other for various purposes.
What a bunch of hardcover funny guys!
Seeing that they were also very conflicted with each other, Mason was relieved. Even if these guys were given more freedom, they would probably be busy fighting among themselves, right?
Ah, humans, what amazing and crazy creatures they are.
The deeper I get into human society, the more I feel that the actions of the Director of the Universal Family Planning Office snapping his fingers are more and more reasonable.jpg.
"Try sensing time, Mason."
The hat reminds me:
"Just like the technique Cassandra used to kill Savitar, see if you can sense the 'future'."
"Isn't this high-end skill so easy to learn?"
Mason complained, and then took a deep breath to continuously improve his already keen perception.
In the next few seconds, he quickly sensed that the engineer Mason and the female Ultron were hiding and kissing, the jeweler Mason secretly hid a gem that was marked as waste but was actually of very good quality, and the alchemist Mason was about to make someone who did not meet the requirements. Experimenting with standard weird materials was secretly added to the potion being made, as well as the little tricks of the blacksmith Mason, who had a great time picking his nose.
The rapid influx of these junk information into his mind made him feel that his "brain was heating up", but he did not stop, but continued to hold his breath and concentrate to increase his perception to the limit.
It's like an invisible line exists there.
The moment Mason stepped over, a banging sound exploded in his mind, as if some incredible switch was turned on, and the entire world slowed down in Mason's eyes.
The expression is very similar to the "bullet time" when Death's Eye is turned on, but they are two completely different concepts.
In this state of extra-dimensional perception, Mason can clearly feel that the concept of "time" exists beside him in the three-dimensional world. He can even "fine-tune" himself to see the past a few seconds ago.
This operation is easy, like rewinding a movie, but it is very difficult when Mason tries to see the "future", and the "progress bar" cannot be dragged.
His heart skipped a beat and he pushed it forward hard.
Then the scene of bleeding from all his orifices appeared in front of his eyes. The next second, blood started to flow from his mouth, nostrils and ears under tremendous pressure.
Oh yeah, the prophecy was perfectly verified!
"Poof"
Mason whined, ended his extradimensional perception, and then used water manipulation to get the blood that had flowed out back into his body with a splitting headache.
"It's still a bit reluctant now. Sister Ka's familiar control is probably the experience accumulated bit by bit in more than two thousand years of practice.
I have to take my time. ”
The commander-in-chief was lying on the table as if he had been thrown into a drum washing machine and spun wildly for more than a thousand times. He had a rare feeling of motion sickness.
"The first time is always difficult and painful. As long as you keep trying, this ability will definitely become your trump card in the future."
Seeing Mason's misfortune, Hat's mood suddenly became happy.
It discussed with Mason for a few more words and then fell into silence. Mason, who was familiar with the bloodline ability, took advantage of his current "weakness" to focus on the "ultimate talent" unlocked by Engineering Lv10.
The talent description of this [Black Technology Realizer] is very metaphysical.
Accelerating learning and understanding sounds unreliable, but considering that this is the "official description" of the character card, the captain still gave it a try.
He originally wanted to use the black technology cracking authority on his most desired knowledge of "law of cause and effect", but after thinking for a few seconds, he designated its first use in the fields of Isu aurora devices and extra-dimensional space knowledge.
Rather than increasing personal force, these important technologies must be acquired before the Fourth Impact arrives.
"Ah!"
The moment the designation was completed, a strange scream rang out from the engineering laboratory of the Pocket Factory. Engineer Mason screamed:
"Inspiration! Countless inspirations burst out in my mind! It's great! The truth is whispering to me, and I gradually understand everything! My dear, why are you still stunned? Come on, get the paper!
I want to record all these arrogant and beautiful thoughts. ”
"This guy is crazy."
Mason, the subject, curled his lips.
But then, after the various wonderful knowledge that Engineer Mason continuously deduced was transferred to the subject's brain, he had to admit that the speed of learning and understanding had really accelerated.
"Lv10 engineering can already produce all the drawings currently mastered, and can start modifying the neural power armor of the Master of the Universe. However, the X metal taken from the Final Knight needs to be smelted, which is a big problem.
The forging branch needs to be further improved. ”
Mason rubbed his forehead and stood up. He now felt more and more that these manufacturing branches were obviously closely connected in the later period. It was not enough to just have strengths. He had to leave no shortcomings in order to push his power as a "magic craftsman" to the limit. .
Thanks to the funny guys like Mason Manufacturing Group, otherwise he alone would not be able to tap the true potential of this manufacturing system.
"Although time is not on my side, I already have confidence, no! Time is on my side!"
Mason suddenly remembered the treasure that was rewarded by Hei Qiqi before. He turned his finger and the green time stone jumped into the palm of his hand.
But he didn't have an idea of how to use it yet, so he just let out a sigh and climbed up the escalator out of the suitcase factory.
The moment he climbed out of the suitcase, he suddenly saw the embarrassing scene in front of his eyes as if he was jolted by two Harleys.
Hey, I'm hiding!
"唰"
Mason's body turned into water and dissipated on the spot, causing Harley, who was rushing from the front, and Quinn, who was rushing from behind, to hit the middle with a bang. They screamed and fell into a ball on the ground, and then started arguing and tearing each other up. stand up.
"Ha, is this the correct way to use 'precognition'?"
Mason, who reappeared next to the two cuties, blinked his eyes and separated the fighting girlfriends, thinking in his heart:
"This thing is actually a 'passive skill'? Although I don't know what the triggering mechanism is, it's awesome!"
"You two don't want to fight. If you really want to fight, why don't you find a more spacious place? How about we fight in the utility room?"
Mason held a girlfriend by the hand to calm down the evil twins who couldn't live without each other. Then he saw the cute Harley with a red forehead taking out a crumpled invitation from her pocket and handing it to him.
"Wade sent it here."
The little cutie threw herself into Mason's arms, nuzzled her like a kitten, and said softly in a sharp tone:
"This is an invitation letter for the internal trading day of the Star Club. The three major mentors jointly invited our powerful Mr. K to join as a special guest.
They also invited other members of Team K, and everyone already knew about it. ”
"But I suspect this is a Hongmen Banquet."
The steady but cunning Quinn hugged Mason's shoulders from behind, then stood on tiptoes and took the initiative to kiss her lips. After a gentle kiss, she said in Mason's ear:
"They will definitely take the opportunity to upgrade Team K to the A-level sequence, and the haunting bad guy Mephisto is still watching. How about we not go? Sweetheart.
We could give ourselves two days off and go to some garden time.
I've already bought a swimsuit, you will definitely like it. ”
"Do you call that a swimsuit? Isn't it just a few ropes? Hey, the sultry guy is planning to eat alone, and I've prepared a surprise for the little sweetheart."
Harley exposed Quinn's true thoughts with a smirk, earning a glare from the latter.
Seeing that the two crazy beauties were about to fight again, Mason could only comfort them again, hold them one by one, and use his "masculine charm" to stop this "sisterly" fight.
"Go! Why not go?"
Mason looked at the crumpled invitation in front of him and said:
"When I attended the first trade fair, I thought that this organization might not be able to survive until the next trading day. It turned out that I was still too optimistic.
You can always find a lot of weird things there. Besides, with Team K's current reputation, it's hard to keep a low profile even if you want to.
Strength does not allow it.
In this case, why not make a high-profile appearance and officially announce our existence. ”
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the Osborne Tower office, looked at the wasteland city in the sun and the distant scenery in front of him, took a deep breath in the company of Harley and Quinn, and said softly:
"They are longing for or fearing change. They may not realize it yet, but the second option that once did not exist has surfaced. We cannot always let the enemy control the public opinion position.
We also have to strive for some attention. As long as friends don’t ask me to borrow money, I won’t be too little. "(End of Chapter)
