Chapter 426: Class Exclusive Blueprints
Back in the Hotel...
That night, while everyone was already asleep, Tyla sleeping peacefully on the bed, Leon stood up and went to the work desk.
There was a USB drive on his hand.
Inside this USB drive was perhaps one of the most expensive piece of knowledge in the world, at least to D Rank Mechanists.
These were pieces of knowledge that no amount of money in the world could buy. They were priceless, and Leon got them without paying a price.
Well, he already paid the price 132 years ago.
Leon opened his Onyx-05 Computer. He stared at it with a complicated expression for a few seconds, then he exhaled and connected the USB drive to the external port that Ren Nora gave him.
Through it, the USB drive connected to the computer.
Immediately after the USB drive was plugged in, the computer froze for a few seconds, and then billions of lines of data codes immediately started loading on the screen!
Bzzz!
The high-grade computer projected a virtual projection on the wall showing the contents on the computer screen.
After about 30 seconds of loading, the screen finally stabilized and immediately, the billions of lines of data codes started disappearing.
After about 2 seconds, 5 compressed files remained on the screen.
They read:
["Cannon Master Class Specialization Exclusive Blueprint: Guass-X Kinetic Accelerator."]
["Cannon Master Class Specialization Exclusive Blueprint: Korrelite-I "Vanguard" Auto-Turret."]
["Technician Class Specialization Exclusive Blueprint: V-7 Kinetic-Ion Barrier."]
["Technician Class Specialization Exclusive Blueprint: Mark-IV Flux Cell Battery."]
["Technician Class Specialization Exclusive Blueprint: Oculus-9 Gridlock Intercept Matrix."]
Staring at the 5 files on the computer screen, Leon’s eyes gleamed.
After more than 5 months since becoming a D Rank Mechanist, by abusing his relationships and the connections that he built, he managed to bypass every other D Rank Mechanist in the world to gather all the Class Exclusive Blueprints of the Mechanist Class.
For the first time in his life, well not really since he’d enjoyed the benefits numerous times already, but Leon truly felt the power of nepotism.
Talent? Who cares about talent when you have connections to powerful people in right places and with the right powers?
It was almost unfair, but when had the world ever been fair?
After months of striving towards it, despite a period of 4 months in coma, he finally got the complete foundation to push towards becoming the most terrifying D Rank Ascended that the world had ever seen.
Apart from his mech suit, his Gun Drone, and his stealth aircraft, he now had blueprints for an Energy Cannon, a Siege Core, a Railgun, a Turret, an Energy Shield that is even better than the AEGIS-V Modulator, a high-caliber Power Battery, and a Defense Matrix, all D Rank!
Together, these were what formed an ultimate Mechanist, a version of a D Rank Mechanist that Neo-Tokara had never seen before.
...
Leon intended to start working immediately from the next day but when Tyla realized his intentions, she reacted in an extreme manner.
According to her, Leon should strictly follow the Doctor’s instructions and the Doctor’s instructions was for him to rest for at least 5 days before getting himself involved in anything serious.
Maybe if it was before, Leon would have been able to win the argument, but now he was vastly disadvantaged.
He surrendered after a lengthy negotiation.
In the end, they met at a common ground and Leon agreed to spend the next 2 days resting.
Within these 2 days, the lovers got to know each other better as for the first time since they knew each other, they truly spent time in each other’s company, exploring themselves in ways they’ve never done before.
By the end of the 2nd day, Leon was feeling fresh and ready to go. He was hyped to learn and work on his new projects.
On February 6th, Year 714 A.G, Leon finally resumed work.
And for the first time, he understood Kain’s complaints and truly realized what normal Mechanists went through.
Leon could instinctively grasp and understand the core concepts of any Class Knowledge or blueprint that he got through the ChronoSystem. But this time, with the system gone, he had to do it the manual way.
He had to read and learn manually like any other student, like every other Mechanist in the world.
It took Leon just a few hours in to realize the difficulty of actually learning the core concept of a D Rank Blueprint.
A D Rank Blueprint is vastly different from an F or even an E Rank Blueprint like a plasma knife, the difference is like night and day.
The difference is like learning about Motion and Acceleration in Secondary School Basic Physics Class, only to be introduced to Quantum Physics and Mechanics in Tertiary School, becoming exposed to complicated theories of Gravity and Black holes.
Each one of the Blueprints was by far the most complicated piece of information that he had ever read, Leon felt like his mind was splitting apart the more he read and tried to understand the complicated theories.
Worse was the fact that he didn’t have a teacher. For some theories, he spent hours meditating on them just to understand them.
Yet he didn’t stop, he gritted his teeth through to all.
Over time, Leon adjusted his mentality towards learning the new blueprints as he approached it the same way that he would approach a deadly battle.
He locked in, locking himself from the outside world except Tyla.
With passive help from her providing a conducive reading environment for him, Leon devoured tons of knowledge, learning even more advanced theories of energy weapons, energy manipulation, and energy matrices.
Leon didn’t have his memories of being a student, but right now, he felt like a student again and it filled his body with a sense of dark déjà vu.
Leon spent approximately 2 days for each blueprint just trying to learn and understand the theories and concepts behind it.
He didn’t know it, but this was already incredibly abnormal for normal D Rank Ascended learning or even creating a regular D Rank Blueprint.
It was not abnormal for D Rank Mechanists to spend years or even decades learning to master a single blueprint, not to talk of a Class Exclusive Blueprint!
Leon was an outlier.
In between, he had to take a break of 2 days to rest and recover.
He spent 12 days in total and by the time he was done, his head was almost bleeding ruby dust and smoke.
His brain was almost fried but it was not in vain.
His perseverance paid off and Leon finally assimilated the vast and complicated knowledge behind all Exclusive Blueprints of the different D Rank Mechanist Class Specializations.
After that, he made a call.
Ring! Ring!
{Outgoing call to General Ren Nora...}
