Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

This is the benefit brought by the main profession of sniping, while Xia Yuan, whose main profession is auxiliary, can only master the pistol through the secondary profession of technician.

But this does not mean that he cannot use the submachine gun he made. The advanced job transfer of the technician is the agent. The agent's secondary profession allows players to barely control submachine guns and other firearms while learning skills.

However, the job transfer book for technicians to become agents is quite rare. Players either have to search aimlessly around the world for it, or simply join a certain camp and express their intention to become an agent... It is possible, but if successful, the agent sub-profession will be unlocked directly.

After hammering away at the iron for a while, a submachine gun was finally made.

[D96 basic MINI submachine gun]

[Quality: White]

[Attributes: Attack Power 25-37, Durability 152/152]

[Equipment requirements: Sniper profession, Agent secondary profession, Strength 15, Stamina 10]

[Additional ability: Precision - Increase accuracy by 3%, critical hit rate by 5%]

This gun has a price of about 100,000 Longmen coins in the Lateran internal market, and the requirement to use the burst gun is also very high, and the mastery of the gun's source stone skills is relatively high. As for the market in the land of suffering... it is truly priceless and unsalable. Even if this submachine gun is sold on the market, it is difficult for the buyer to use it, and it can only be left at home to gather dust.

Xia Yuan was confident that this gun could be sold for a high price of over 400,000 yuan, but he really didn't know if anyone would buy it.

It's not like they would sell it to the Sarkaz, but it's too rare to see it go wrong. A small number of Sarkaz mercenaries use guns taken from the Sakta people, and after years of use, they can use them properly.

After being able to make a submachine gun, Xia Yuan temporarily put it aside and turned around to continue rubbing the iron.

What he needs to make now is a mechanical armor that can defend against attacks. Wearing it under the coat can increase some strength and endurance, which can be regarded as a small life-saving outfit.

He now has a talent for super mechanical mastery, and his achievements in mechanics are much greater than those of the gunsmith.

The Gunsmith Apprentice brought him +1 Dexterity and +2 Intelligence, and he also gained 1 free attribute point. He called up his panel and looked at his free attribute points... Unknowingly, he had saved 48 free attribute points.

To equip more powerful machinery or firearms requires three attributes: strength, dexterity and intelligence. He thought about it and allocated 16 points to each of these three attributes.

【Rank: 1.26 stars】

[Evaluation: You already have the strength of a beast of burden, but you are only good at slacking off in the logistics department, so you are still at the mercy of others on the battlefield.]

Looking at his own evaluation, Xia Yuan was furious. Wasn't it good for him to just slack off in logistics? Why did he have to go to the battlefield and be beaten head-on?

Although the level has been lowered, the overall attributes have increased. This is the essence of "Ark". The level is not important, the attributes are the most important.

He has been spending the past few days reading books and hammering iron. Occasionally, Mostima would come to Xia Yuan's house for a visit. At this time, it was difficult to call his home a home. It would be more appropriate to call it a studio. Whether on the cabinets or on the ground, the military briefcases were filled with large pieces of metal, which Xia Yuan had bought from the market.

He wore a protective mask, and after a while of hammering and assembling, a decent basic component was completed... It was just a pity that this was not a real studio. With the help of Lieyan, he could save a lot of time.

While hammering iron, you can increase your experience points and skill proficiency. Wow, is this the pleasure of being a production player?

After applying to borrow the notary office's studio, Xia Yuan's progress sped up a step, and he finally made a mechanical armor that fit him well.

【Skywalker Mechanical Armor (Upper Body)】

[Quality: Green]

[Attributes: Defense 40, Durability 500/500]

[Equipment requirements: Strength 28]

[Additional ability: Increase strength by +5, endurance by +10]

[Additional ability: Skywalker Shield - Increases critical strike rate by 10%]

[Additional ability: Made of rare metal diamond alloy, increased durability]

Xia Yuan put on the armor. Hey, it was just as described, very light and did not reduce his agility at all. He looked at himself in the mirror and it looked very beautiful.

The key is that wearing this armor gives you a different sense of security, as if there is a heavy-armored soldier standing in front of Xia Yuan holding a shield.

Shield...seems like it might be okay too.

After all, the first weakness of support players is that they don’t have many effective means of attack, and the second is that they have low blood and are fragile, so they can be killed instantly. On the battlefield, they are more of a functional profession.

If you use the technician's method, holding a revolver in one hand and a bullet-proof shield in the other...you can defend and attack at the same time, which is really exciting.

But wouldn't it be a little ugly? It's not the flash shield in Rainbow Sixty-Six. His figure is not like the several well-known heavy tanks that appear in the plot. Wouldn't it be funny that he looks like a dog instead of a tiger when holding the shield?

After thinking about it, I still have to make the shield, but it’s up to me whether I want to equip it myself. If that doesn’t work, I can always sell it to players, right?

In addition to the shield, he also needs to build an armored lower body, otherwise he will really become a skinny dog ​​if he only trains the upper body.

Chapter 18 When you come back, I'll go to church

Mechanics are not popular within Lateran, and only traces of them can be found from a few words in books.

In addition to the mechanic, the craftsman's job transfer book was not found either. This made Xia Yuan scratch his head. He couldn't be a construction worker and then change to a craftsman's secondary job, right? If he had time, he would ask the staff at the notary office how they repaired the buildings destroyed by explosives. Maybe he would have a chance to get the craftsman's job book?

The bonus brought by talent is unparalleled. Xia Yuan is like a duck in water whether studying or using machinery. He continues to build wrist guards and knee pads to fully arm himself.

He first took the travel jacket he had worn for a long time to the tailor shop and asked the tailor to repair its durability. Then he started his own modification business in a hurry. He wanted to add mechanical elements to the jacket so that he could also get the bonus brought by the jacket.

In addition, he was still tinkering with his mechanical armor, trying to upgrade these two sets.

It is a bit inconvenient not being able to wear protective gear on the head, because the Sakota race cannot wear hats, so he cannot make a helmet that covers the head in all directions... In this regard, he is really envious of those Sarkaz mercenaries who are covered from head to toe. The mask has become their protective gear and a part of their lives.

In the workshop, he used a pistol to shoot at the mask of an ordinary Sarkaz. His two most powerful revolvers only left a deep hole on the mask. If it were used in a battle, such a bullet seemed to be able to vibrate the mercenary's brain and put him into a dizzy debuff judgment of "concussion".

These are just Xia Yuan’s speculations.

He made many attempts to test how much of Sakota's face could be covered.

After putting on the baseball cap, a dizziness debuff suddenly appeared in his field of vision. The whole world was spinning in front of his eyes, and he almost vomited.

I put on the hood of my coat just like Mostima did in the original plot...and it didn't trigger dizziness. This discovery made Xia Yuan's eyes light up.

Shakota's halo is linked to Shakota himself, and can also connect Shakota through emotional sharing, just like the Protoss in StarCraft. Covering the entire head is equivalent to cutting off this layer of connection. Shakota will naturally feel unwell, but he doesn't know why, whether it is because the material of the hood is thin or the head is not fully covered, he does not feel dizzy.

As for facial protection, he could only learn from the Sarkaz mercenaries and make a mask for himself. However, he had not yet rolled out the mask drawings, and the drawings were not available on the market, so Xia Yuan could only postpone the production.

It is a sin that the mask hides his attractive face.

Looking in the mirror, Xia Yuan was quite satisfied with the equipment he had worked hard on for several months.

The slender upper body is dressed in metallic mechanical body armor, with a black hooded coat on the outside, and light grey mechanical attachments on the coat. The lower body is dressed in black travel pants, the black mechanical parts extend from the knees to above the ankles, and the feet are modified to have clever military boots.

[Skywalker Mechanical Armor (Upper Body)][Broken Coat·Revised 1][Dune Travel Pants·Revised 1][Mechanical Extension Power·Calf][Latlan Type III Military Boots·Revised]

There weren't any major changes to his weapons, and his battle rhythm was still based on the two boss-level revolvers, Spade ACE and Dawn, with Double Eagle Kai-II as a supplement.

The two guns, Spade Ace and Dawn, have the same name as theirs, one black and one white, which makes Xia Yuan feel like he is some unknown closed-off person. The Black Swordsman, well, according to the weapon and the secondary occupation, he should be called Black Pistol Brother, but his classiness is instantly lost.

Looking at these equipments, Xia Yuan sighed. Production professions are indeed very expensive. The more than 1.7 million Longmen coins he earned from the Saluzzo family were reduced to more than 100,000 Longmen coins. If he gambled on another blueprint, he would be so poor that he would have to beg for food on the street.

But this full sense of security is something that more than one million Lungmen coins cannot bring. Although he is still the result of being beaten to death by Saria's punch, he believes that he can at least shout "Come on me head-on!" and fight the Sarkaz mercenaries in ordinary settlements on equal terms.

"There are still... 32 days until the public beta begins." Xia Yuan checked the time. It was now early September 1087, and it was time for him to set off, but this time the destination was Casimir.

The living environment in Casimir is slightly better than that in Syracuse. Some of the novice villages in Syracuse are surrounded by yellow sand and loess. Some new players can only see green when they go to larger towns. But it is different in Casimir. The novice villages are all rural areas dominated by animal husbandry, with green grass and blue sky, which can give players a comfortable gaming experience visually.

Thinking about the egg tarts that he was reluctant to eat before logging off, Xia Yuan felt a chill. My friend, no gay.

Mostima had come less frequently in recent weeks; their team had been very busy on reconnaissance missions, and they had only been back to Ratlan a handful of times.

As a messenger, Xia Yuan had been fishing for nearly three months without any change in his job. When he walked on the street wearing his cool equipment, he attracted the attention of many curious Sakotas.

Well, this is the only trouble for a mechanic. Every time he puts on and takes off his equipment, it is not like Iron Man where he just gives a command and the machine will automatically fly onto his body. This thing takes time to put on and take off. After Xia Yuan put it on, he thought it was too troublesome and did not take it off.

The Sakota people are naturally romantic and did not look at the strange clothes with strange eyes. Instead, they came forward curiously and asked which clothing store the cool outfit was bought from.

Xia Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained that this was equipment made by a mechanic, and it could be used as a messenger to move faster.

After hearing this, the others understood, and they immediately felt admiration when they heard that Xia Yuan was the messenger. Some of the Laterans present had never set foot out of this paradise in their entire lives. Now, seeing a younger generation who was much younger than them set foot on that land of suffering, they naturally felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.

The commotion on the street attracted the attention of the patrolling Lateran Guards. "What interesting thing happened?"

"Don't you think this guy's outfit is cool? It reminds me of the pleasure the explosion gave me." Someone said with a smile to several members of the Lateran Guard who were walking over.

The Lateran Guard, an official organization of Lateran, is responsible for multiple tasks such as city patrol and combat. It uses standard axe guns that are uniformly distributed. Most of its members are from Liberia living in Lateran and Iberia. Like Sacotta, they believe in the Lateran doctrine and live in the Holy City of Lateran as citizens enjoying thirteen civil rights.

"Yeah, it's really handsome, what do you think?"

"This seems to be a mechanic's outfit. It looks very fashionable. Should we get one?"

"I think I can submit an application to the boss to change the uniform. I have worn this uniform for more than ten years. To be honest, I still hope it can be changed to be more fashionable."

Several Liberi from the Lateran Garrison were talking to each other with smiles on their faces. They did not put on airs as an official organization and were very friendly.

Xia Yuan shook his head and prepared to leave. To him, this was just a small episode.

He nodded to the members of the Lateran Guard, his eyes unexpectedly fixed on one of them for a moment, and after a moment, he said hello and left quickly as if nothing had happened.

Xia Yuan saw a person who had appeared several times in the plot. For him now, the two of them were separate. As for the future, it was hard to say. Now that he was here, the breeze from the flapping of his wings would surely bring about a hurricane.

"Hey, did that handsome guy just now look at you a few more times, Patia? Did you two know each other before? Or is there some unspeakable secret?" The female team member chuckled in the ear of the Liberi girl with highlighted black hair.

Parthia shook his head and answered honestly, "This is also the first time I've seen this Sakota. I didn't know him before."

She was also trying to recall whether they had met each other somewhere before. She prided herself on having an excellent memory, but in the end she came to the conclusion that this was indeed the first time they met in a crowd.

The girl was a little confused about Xia Yuan's look. Judging from the way he was dressed, he didn't look like an ordinary citizen. However, she kept these thoughts to herself... She would ask Fiammetta when the time came. Maybe she would know the answer.

The meeting with Parthia was just a coincidence among coincidences. In the future, he is bound to have intersections with more and more characters appearing in the plot. The most important thing is to keep a normal mind.

After coming to the notary office for a routine mission search and taking on a few missions near Casimir, Xia Yuan ended his trip.

His identity does not suit him to act too conspicuously. It is not appropriate for him to do quests like a player to gain loyalty points. At present, it seems that he is not suitable to be close to the Lateran Vatican. A Lateran Cardinal who serves in the Vatican cannot leave the Lateran as easily as he does and go on a trip at a moment's notice.

The identity of messenger is still useful.

Before leaving, he said goodbye to Mostima.

"I'm leaving tomorrow." Xia Yuan said as he tasted the macarons Mostima brought back from the dessert street.

Mostima remained as calm as ever, as if she didn't have too many emotions. She didn't laugh or cry, but just watched everything silently with a gentle and elegant smile.

She nodded gently. "We are still apart more than together. But being a messenger is such a hard job, right? When will you be back next time?"

Xia Yuan thought for a moment, "Maybe one or two years. I'm going to Casimir once and take on two missions."

"Next time you come back, I'll make you a cake."

"Mastema, can you make desserts?"

"Almost every Sakota can do it...Xia Yuan is the only one interested in steel." Mostima chuckled, and after a moment, he said, "Kazdel has been a bit chaotic recently, so don't go near it when you're on a courier mission."

Xia Yuan understood that the civil war in Kazdel had begun. More and more forces had heard about the brother and sister who loved and hated each other. Calculating the time, the Tower of Babel was probably established.

"Thank you. You should also take care of yourself. The captain of the special forces team is Andorn. With his great power comes great responsibility."

Mostima laughed happily. She stuffed the cake into her mouth. The sweetness made her mouth curl up. "It's a pity that you stayed in the studio this time. I didn't have the chance to introduce Lemiaoan, Xiaole and Fiammetta to you."

"We will definitely meet each other if we have the chance."
