Super Mechanic: God of Superpowers!!

"Wow, 1000 experience points!"

"Accept! We must accept!"

The players' eyes lit up the moment they saw it.

The quests in Tieling Mountain only give you a couple hundred experience points after running yourself ragged, but this NPC gives you a thousand in one go.

Wow, that's so generous!

On the other hand, Chu Shen's release of chicken-related tasks was actually for a purpose.

Although country chickens are relatively common, players either have to buy them from residents in the settlement or go into the mountains to catch wild chickens.

Once you enter the mountains, you will face the threat of wild animals.

The only solution is to increase our strength.

As time passed, only a few minutes later, the number of players watching the spectacle increased considerably.

"This is a high-level NPC? He looks similar to the players, but he's still quite handsome."

"Nether Thunder Envoy... that's a bit corny, not cool at all."

"What's his specialization? Martial arts, or mechanics? Or perhaps he's some legendary, incomparably noble, mysterious, handsome, invincible being who traverses the universe and pierces through the veil of stars—a truly great superpower?!"

"Tell me, are you a plant hired by the supernatural abilities department next door?"

When discussing professions, we must mention the current situation: players with supernatural abilities are currently the most numerous.

Although it's said to be a lot, it actually only accounts for 10%.

The reason why there seem to be more players with special abilities is simply because none of the remaining players have a main class.

The reason for this phenomenon is that the other four disciplines—martial arts, mechanics, telekinesis, and magic—require the completion of a basic skill before one can change professions.

The special ability type is different; it can be awakened by purchasing gene awakening liquid in the in-game store.

The nouveau riche are spending money lavishly, each showing off their wealth.

Unfortunately, so far no one has been heard of awakening a high-potential superpower.

Moreover, superpowers consume a lot of energy. At the player's current level, a single superpower can only last for a dozen seconds at most, and its power is weak.

It's incredibly soft and fast.

Even so, it couldn't dampen the players' enthusiasm.

After all, successfully awakening one's superpowers means possessing a certain level of combat strength.

It allows you to show off in front of girls...

Not long after, the player who accepted the quest returned carrying a bunch of chickens.

As soon as they finished completing the task, they noticed that their experience points on their panel had suddenly increased.

For a moment, everyone was filled with joy and stayed around Chu Shen, unwilling to leave.

His eyes seemed to scream, "I want more! I want more!"

Chu Shen glanced around at the players watching and found that almost all the players in the settlement had gathered around, so he felt that the time was right.

He cleared his throat and said slowly, "You are all wonderful, so I am willing to sell you a batch of good stuff."

After saying that, he brought up the store interface and made it available to everyone.

The players' eyes lit up instantly as they glanced at the object, like light bulbs.

"Oh, so he's a mysterious businessman!"

"Superpower cards...that's so cool!"

"It's a pity they're all disposable."

"Holy crap, holy crap, they even have S-class superpowers!"

The gene awakening liquid provided by Xinghai is only related to the success rate; the potential level depends entirely on the player's luck.

However, the vast majority of players only awaken E-level abilities.

As for someone like Yu Zhichen who awakens a C-rank right from the start, it can be said to be extremely rare.

Therefore, when the players saw that they could actually buy ability cards from Chu Shen, they were all extremely excited.

That's normal, though. After all, the allure of special ability cards is comparable to that of a computer addict seeing a computer that doesn't lag for a young newbie.

Most players still use melee weapons, and it's difficult for a dozen people to gang up on a single wolf.

A single superpower card can greatly enhance their strength, making it possible to defeat their opponents.

"I want one."

"I want one too."

"Whoever lends me five hundred, I'll pay them back right away!"

The scene quickly descended into chaos.

Anyone who didn't know better would think these were all shills hired by Chu Shen.

"No rush, no rush, there are plenty of them."

Chu Shen had a big smile on his face.

For him, making a special ability card only requires a certain amount of energy.

And strength can be restored on its own over time.

Therefore, it can be said to have zero cost.

Chu Shen employs a scarcity marketing strategy, resulting in an extremely limited number of special ability cards.

Those who managed to snag a prize were beaming with joy, while those who missed out were utterly dejected and looked utterly lost.

Nanfeng Jiangyue, the guild leader of Jiangnan Guild, went to great lengths to squeeze in and then purchased a [Thunderous Might] ability card.

As a rich second-generation heir, he naturally acquired a bottle of [Supreme Deluxe Perfect Gene Awakening Liquid] right from the start.

Despite his bad luck, he still managed to awaken his superpower.

But to be fair, his awakened superpower potential level was only E-.

Nanfeng Jiangyue's face turned green at that moment, even though the awakened superpower was related to fire.

However, his E-level superpower potential makes even lighting a cigarette a struggle.

Simply put, it's completely useless.

"Ah, if only I could awaken this thunderous power, I would do anything for it."

Nanfeng Jiangyue sighed softly, her face full of sourness.

There aren't many players in the Tieling Mountain settlement, since it's only a closed beta test.

Therefore, Chu Shen didn't gain much experience points this time.

However, he didn't care, since his main goal was to expand his influence among the players.

"I remember that Xinghai has a professional league, so I can definitely focus on training a few players."

"To help them reach the semi-finals, or even win the championship."

"It's just going to play a quick game."

Chu Shen pondered for a moment, and then, in order to show his importance, he opened the [Skill Shop] to the players.

However, to highlight the value of the skill, he specifically set a 4-point favorability limit.

Players quickly discovered this new feature, and their faces flushed with excitement.

"Huh, I can even learn skills?!"

"These skills are awesome."

"Why does it require 4 points of favorability?"

"Wait a minute... I discovered that spending 300 Aquamarine Coins will increase favorability by 1 point, so just giving money directly will work too!"

"3 points only increases favorability by 1 point, that's so unfair!"

The players were in despair; they were now penniless and, after purchasing the ability cards, had no extra money to buy skills.

Chu Shen was not surprised to see this.

After all, he knew the players' economic situation inside and out, but this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Things that are too easily obtained are not cherished.

Setting a threshold will make players feel that "this skill is valuable".

Moreover, the more he invests in players, whether it's money or time, the more likely players are to have the illusion that "this NPC is really nice to me."

This is called emotional binding, a little trick in business psychology.

Of course, the main purpose is still to make another profit.

"The chives grow with great effort; if I don't harvest them, how can I be human?"

Chu Shen felt no psychological burden whatsoever.

Continuously creating demand and getting customers to keep spending money is a fundamental aspect of a capitalist's self-cultivation.

Chu Shen stroked his chin, looking at the group of players in front of him who were racking their brains to raise money for a little bit of goodwill, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

"Ah, if only I had been there back then."

"What does this have to do with Little Ma?"
