Super Mechanic: God of Superpowers!

Chapter 51 The Fourth Superpower: [Phantom Scale Armor]

Xiaojiaoshan settlement is one of the starting points for new players on Aquamarine Star.

Huo Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was blinding white sunlight. The familiar game pod was gone, replaced by a wide plain.

At the very front was a small settlement of wanderers, where the NPCs were pointing and whispering in this direction, their eyes full of curiosity.

"This is the Star Sea?" Huo Yunfei looked at the incredibly realistic world before him, raising an eyebrow involuntarily. He first tossed his red hair, then said rather narcissistically, "As expected of me, Huo Yunfei, I even managed to snag a spot in the closed beta test."

Beside him stood hundreds of players, curiously sizing each other up, each with their own game nickname displayed above their head.

Huo Yunfei suddenly remembered something and hurriedly tugged at his pants, seemingly trying to take them off. However, after all his efforts, he wasted his breath and couldn't help but complain, "Can't even... this is terrible!"

Huo Yunfei is currently a soon-to-be graduate of Blue Fox University, aiming to become an excellent professional gamer. Hearing that the International Game Alliance had already begun preparing for a professional league even though "Star Ocean" had just been released, he paid close attention to it. He spent a lot of effort and a little bit of luck to successfully grab a spot in the closed beta.

Just then, a fat man in green clothes walked over and said, "Huo Yunfei, what forbidden words were you saying just now?"

"Little Fatty, it's none of your business." Huo Yunfei rolled his eyes at his good brother.

"Hmph, what little fatso, please call me Slim Jun!" Slim Jun said with a displeased look, then said with considerable curiosity, "I heard you bought a Supreme Deluxe Perfect-Grade Gene Awakening Fluid, tsk tsk, it must have cost you a lot of money."

"Hmph, what's a little money to me, Huo Yunfei? My godfather is Zhang Erhe," Huo Yunfei said smugly. "Besides, my nemesis Long Jian also bought one. If I didn't say anything, wouldn't people think I'm inferior to him?"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Go ahead and try it. If it works, I'll buy a bottle too," Miao Tiaojun urged.

"There are too many people here. Let's go to the grove over there to test it. After all, it's fine if it succeeds, but it would be a big problem if it fails. My godfather is Zhang Erhe, and I can't let him down." Huo Yunfei said, pulling Miao Tiaojun's hand and heading towards the grove not far away.

At the same time, the chief of the Xiaojiaoshan settlement was startled to see so many ragged people and hurriedly ordered his men to close the door, not daring to let so many strangers into the settlement.

Their Little Horn Mountain settlement was just a small settlement that could be found anywhere on Aquamarine, with only about a hundred people, and there wasn't a single superhuman in the settlement.

Seeing so many unfamiliar faces suddenly appear outside the settlement, it would be a lie to say that one wouldn't be panicked.

The players were furious when they saw that they were being blocked from entering.

"What's going on? Why isn't the starting area open to us?"

"Yeah, my hunger level is dropping so fast, I'm going to die if I don't eat something soon."

"Huh? You guys think we can take off these NPCs' pants?"

……

At the same time, Ye Xiu had just arrived near the spawn point for new players in Xiaojiaoshan when he saw two players with game nicknames above their heads enter the grove. Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but quietly follow behind them.

"Huo Yunfei, stop dawdling and drink up," Miao Tiaojun urged.

"I know, why rush me?" Huo Yunfei said, opening the Supreme Deluxe Perfect-Grade Gene Awakening Liquid in his hand and swallowing it in one gulp.

The next second, a notification appeared on the panel in front of Huo Yunfei's eyes:

[You have consumed the Supreme Deluxe Perfect-Grade Gene Awakening Fluid and are about to awaken your superpowers... 35%... 67%... 78%...]

[Awakening complete. Congratulations on obtaining a C-rank ability – [Phantom Scale Armament]]

After scanning the panel, Huo Yunfei was immediately stunned and subconsciously asked, "What kind of superpower is the Illusionary Scale Armor?"

Upon hearing this, Miao Tiaojun rolled his eyes at the other party and said, "I told you not to read the guide before entering the game. The official guide, 'Three Thousand Questions on Superpowers,' says that having this superpower allows you to enter 'Armed' mode, transforming into armor for combat and greatly increasing your basic attributes."

"What is the potential level? Has it reached A-level? According to the official introduction, I heard that once the potential level of this ability reaches A-level or above, and the energy level exceeds the standard line, it can even enter the [Super Beast] state and transform into a mechanical behemoth that is over ten meters tall."

"Wait a minute, judging from your tone, could it be that you've awakened this superpower?"

"Nonsense, I, Huo Yunfei, am the campus heartthrob of Blue Fox University. Awakening my superpower is as easy as eating a meal for me," Huo Yunfei said rather narcissistically, then tossed his fiery red hair.

"Wow, Afei!"

……

"Hmm? He actually awakened a superpower, the Phantom Scale Armament? This superpower sounds pretty good!"

Even though Ye Xiu is currently an NPC, he can naturally understand the conversations between players.

Seeing this scene, his heart couldn't help but burn with excitement.

"The waters inside this kind of superpower are too deep. You two can't handle it. Let me do it." Ye Xiu said without hesitation, and his figure moved immediately.

On the other side, Huo Yunfei took out the [Phantom Scale Armor] and was just about to activate his superpower when he suddenly felt a cold wind coming from behind him.

Before he could even turn his head to check, everything went black.

When his sight returned, he was back in the plaza where he had been born, and a notification panel appeared before him:

[You were killed by ???, losing 0% of your experience]

"Huh? I got killed? Are all the NPCs in this game so unethical?" Huo Yunfei couldn't help but complain.

"Wow, me too! Luckily we don't have any experience points yet, or we would have lost a lot. We've only been in the game for less than half an hour and we've already lost our virginity!" Miao Tiaojun said, looking completely bewildered.

……

"Tsk tsk, a C-level ability! Looks like my luck is pretty good." Ye Xiu looked at the red transformation device in his hand, his face beaming with joy.

[恭喜你成功复刻C级【幻麟武装】，气力+30、力量+10、敏捷+5、耐力+5、智力+3、神秘+15，获得100000经验]

……

Congratulations on learning the skill [Fire Cloud Technique Lv1]

【Fire Cloud Technique Lv1】: Exclusive skill for the Illusionary Scale Armor, damage is level * strength * 50% of stamina.

"very good."

After scanning the panel, Ye Xiu's face lit up with joy.

He immediately focused his mind and used his energy to condense his eight clones.

He had previously resurrected himself using a clone, temporarily losing one clone. He could only recreate it using his energy after the cooldown period was over.

Besides his main abilities [Replica] and [Clone Parasite], Ye Xiu can incorporate all other abilities into his clones, allowing them to use those abilities.

Ye Xiu thought for a moment and then put all eight clones into the [Phantom Scale Armament] ability.

"I still have too few abilities. I need to hurry up and replicate them. I need to replicate at least three or four more," Ye Xiu thought to himself, his eyes flashing slightly.

He glanced at the players in the distance and headed straight for the Xiaojiaoshan settlement.

The final changes were made to the clone ability.

It's no longer a four-elemental class clone; we'll talk about that later.

Currently, he has been converted into a regular clone. Ye Xiu is now a D-rank, and currently has 9 clones. Each clone possesses 30% of the original's basic attributes and strength (this percentage and the number of clones will increase as the ability level increases).

Ye Xiu can freely put his own supernatural ability into a clone, allowing the clone to use that ability.

A clone can hold a maximum of one ability, and an ability can be reused.

Aside from the main abilities [Replica], [Clone Parasite], and similar abilities, all other abilities can be incorporated into clones.

A clone can never be cloned again, just as the moon cannot emit light.

There are no conditions for creating a clone.

As for the four elemental clones, we'll talk about that when Ye Xiu becomes a Super A-level.

In other words, it can only be created after the potential level of [Clone Parasite] and Ye Xiu's energy level are increased.

We'll see your mechanical dragons later on.

I've already modified the settings in the previous chapters, but the plot remains unchanged and won't affect your reading experience.
