Super Mechanic: God of Superpowers!!

Chapter 100, Third Template Specialization

Regaining his composure, Chu Shen's gaze was firmly fixed on the fifth item—[Resilient Body].

Specialty, and a "template specialty".

In the Starsea system, there are specialties that include the word "template".

It often implies power, specialization, and a certain kind of "absoluteness".

These are usually the signature abilities of certain bosses or legendary NPCs.

"Immunity to real damage" is precisely the embodiment of "absoluteness".

What is true damage?

It's the kind of damage that ignores armor, resistance, and all damage reduction methods, directly affecting the essence of life.

For example, certain curses, or the direct deduction of certain rule-based superpowers.

Chu Shen himself is a high-burst damage dealer, so he knows all too well how terrifying this kind of damage can be.

No matter how high your defense is or how thick your shield is, it's all useless against true damage.

A single critical hit from the opponent, with true damage, could take away most of your health.

With the [Resilient Body], it's like having an extra life.

Thinking of this, Chu Shen's eyes lit up.

Survival is always the top priority.

Only by living can we contribute and have a future.

This expertise greatly reduces the probability of unexpected mishaps, which is the most needed guarantee for someone like him who pursues extreme operations and explosive performances.

There's still one more option to choose from.

Chu Shen's gaze returned to the remaining four options.

[Advanced Martial Arts Skills] — He is a superhuman, and this skill is almost useless to him.

【Wild Python - Poison Bite】————A pretty good combo skill, but the cost and cooldown are there, and it requires close-range claw attacks.

His fighting style leans more towards mid-range control and burst damage, so this skill isn't very versatile.

【Fierce Fist】————Even a mosquito's leg is meat, but 7% unarmed attack power and 3% block are quite ordinary for Chu Shen now.

So, only ———

【Reaction/Thorns】

Chu Shen recalled the battlefield, where Bennett's earth-shattering punch was inexplicably blocked by the leader.

There were even scenes where the backlash caused one's blood and qi to surge.

"That should be the trick."

Although it's not the crowd control or burst damage skill he desires most, [Counter-Strike Thorns] has high strategic value.

Although the 600-second cooldown is long, if used well, it can completely negate a fatal attack at a critical moment, or even take the opportunity to counter-kill the opponent.

Moreover, it is a power-based technique, not a strict martial arts system, so there are not many restrictions on its use.

"That's it."

[You have gained a new specialization: Resilient Body!]

[You have learned the skill: Counterattack - Thorns!]

The system notification rang out crisply deep within my mind, like drops of ice spring water falling onto a jade plate.

Standing on the hill under the moonlight, Chu Shen suddenly felt a warm, tingling sensation.

Starting from the coccyx, it travels upwards along the spine to the top of the head, and then spreads to the limbs and bones.

It's like countless tiny electric currents jumping and shuttling between every cell.

"Well, I'm really going further and further down the path of becoming a meat shield." Chu Shen couldn't help but chuckle.

That's what she said, but the joy in her tone was impossible to hide.

Chu Shen's attention quickly returned to his experience reserves.

He currently has around 130 million experience points.

It cost me over 30 million to level up [Gene Controller] to the maximum level, and I still have this much left, enough to squander for a while.

Without hesitation, Chu Shen opened the skill panel and found the two newly acquired skills.

[Gene Overload] and [Rebound Thorns]

With the injection of experience points, both skills were upgraded to the maximum level, and he also gained two potential points.

"You can never have too many potential points." Chu Shen nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the increased potential points.

The effects of the new skill at max level have also become apparent:

[Gene Overload]

[Effect: Temporarily activates the body's genetic potential, increasing all attributes by 20% for 45 seconds. After the effect ends, the user is in a state of "Genetic Fatigue," reducing all attributes by 30% for 5 minutes. Cooldown: 2 hours]

Brother, I know you're just not feeling well. Just take a sildenafil pill and you'll be fine!

Clearly, this gene overload can also be called a Viagra for superpowers, capable of temporarily enhancing the explosive power of superpowers.

Explosive power is undoubtedly what Chu Shen desires most.

At the same time, the [Gene Controller] has reached the maximum level, and new job change requirements have appeared:

[Job Change Requirements: Total level reaches 80, Mystic attribute exceeds 400 points, and mastery of at least 5 advanced knowledge of the Psychic category (Note: These are the fixed advancement path requirements for this job and cannot be changed)]

Supernatural ability professions progress from [Supernatural Ability Novice] → [Supernatural Ability Apprentice] → [Trainee Supernatural Ability User] → [Gene Master] → ————

For all players, the job advancement requirements at the [Gene Controller] stage are these three.

Level, attributes, knowledge.

Indispensable.

Chu Shen glanced at his current attributes: Mystery 335.

I glanced again at the 40 free attribute points I had just gained.

He added them all in at once.

At this point, we are 25 points away from 400 points.

Chu Shen stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "Looks like I need to find a secondary profession to supplement my attributes."

The level cap in version 2.0 of Starsea is 90.

It sounds like a lot, but there's a really tricky setting here:

With each level up, the experience required to upgrade the next secondary profession increases exponentially.

Simply put, it might only take a few million experience points to level up your first secondary profession from level 1 to level 10.

However, when your main profession and secondary profession reach a total level of 70.

To start a new secondary profession and level it up from level 1 to level 10, you might need tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of experience points.

This leads to a vicious cycle:

Insufficient attributes prevent job advancement → Open a secondary job to supplement attributes → Secondary jobs consume a large amount of levels and experience → The main job's upgrade potential is compressed → Actual combat power cannot increase → Leveling up by killing monsters is even slower → More secondary jobs are needed to supplement attributes —

Therefore, some people don't even have enough attributes to change jobs until they reach level 80 or higher.

As a result, after leveling up his main class a few times, he reached the version cap of level 90 and got stuck there.

PK Arena?

That was their nightmare.

"Fortunately, my current strength is already beyond the version, so there's no need to rush to level up." Chu Shen's thoughts were clear.

"We need to find a secondary profession that is rare, exceptional, and provides a lot of free attribute points per level, so that we can make up for those 25 points of mystery with the fewest level required."

As for advanced knowledge—

"At my rate of growth, I'll get it sooner or later."

Composing himself, Chu Shen led Hela and Aurora away from there.

Now that the biggest crisis has been resolved, he can finally settle down and no longer has to run around.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Shen moved directly into the manor that Hela had recently purchased.

Hela is now a very wealthy woman.

Of course, Chu Shen could also run to Han Xiao's third refuge.

But after careful consideration and much hesitation, he gave up the idea.

What's the point of living with a man?

Moreover, Chu Shen felt that Han Xiao was looking at him strangely, so he didn't dare to go.
