Super Mechanic: God of Superpowers!!

"Master! I see you have extraordinary talent. I have an ancestral manual called 'Buddha's Palm' here..."

"Hero! Please save me! My old sow has been kidnapped by a mutated wild boar!"

"Senior! This junior is willing to become your disciple, to serve you tea and water, to warm your bed and make your quilts..."

The most outrageous thing is the offensive of good looks and charm.

Ever since the guild leader posted a thread on the forum.

After subtly mentioning that "female characters seem to have a hidden favorability bonus when facing the Netherworld Thunder Envoy,"

Chu Shen has never lacked beautiful women around him.

"Hey bro~ This skill book is so expensive! Can you give me a discount? I'll treat you to dinner!"

"Master, please teach me! I can do everything!"

"Lord Nether Thunder Envoy, would you be interested in a personal maid who can give massages, cook, and warm your bed?"

Faced with these sweet words and sugar-coated bullets, Chu Shen remained unmoved, and even felt a little amused.

He pointed to the price list written in charcoal on the wooden board next to him, and said succinctly:

"Prices are fixed and non-negotiable. If you want to learn, you'll gain experience."

Think you can avoid paying just because you're good-looking? How naive!

Of course, there are always those who don't believe in superstitions, no matter where you are.

Some players, used to single-player games where they can save and load and do whatever they want, have come to see Star Ocean as a place where they can run wild.

"What's with the attitude of an NPC? I'll blow you up!"

"Brothers, let's go! He's sure to drop good stuff if we rob him!"

"I refuse to believe this game doesn't allow killing NPCs!"

For this type of "overpowered" player, Chu Shen's approach is simple and brutal: violently correct all the problems.

Do you dare to lay a hand on me?

Then you're dead.

They've been resurrected?

I'll be waiting at your respawn point.

dead again?

It's okay, continue.

The death penalty mechanism in Starsea is: after a character dies, there are only ten free resurrection opportunities within six days.

Once you've used it up, you either have to wait six days for it to cool down, or you have to spend a lot of money to buy a resurrection item.

Chu Shen guarded the players who attacked him, killing them every time he revived.

They kept clearing all their resurrection attempts until they were forced to log off to prevent addiction.

Someone posted screenshots on the forum showing a player driven to despair by being camped in the corpse, with the caption:

"Another 'chicken-killing maniac' who challenged the world has fallen."

The replies below were all the same:

"Serves you right."

"Do you really think this is The Elder Scrolls?"

"You'll get used to it; every generation of Elder Scrolls has its warriors."

"It's a welcome sight."

At the entrance of the mine in Heiyan Town, the line to pay was not long, with only a dozen or so people scattered around.

Chu Shen's request was to "directly give gifts," which was actually about trading experience.

This has made many players who are used to the "do tasks and get rewards" model hesitate.

Especially for cautious or "thrifty" players, it's really hard to part with the experience points they've worked so hard to accumulate.

Chu Shen wasn't in a hurry, leisurely dealing with the transactions at hand, his mind mostly absorbed in the forum.

Watching the players chat and argue is more interesting than watching a play.

Suddenly, a new post pinned by the administrator on the forum homepage caught his eye.

The post title was simple: "Xinghai Times, Issue 1".

Chu Shen's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

"This segment... is finally out."

"Starsea Times" is a "program" that countless Starsea players watch every week.

Although it is not completely official, it has a deep background and can always get first-hand insider information, version previews, and expert interviews.

The content is all-encompassing, ranging from hardcore class guides and dungeon analyses to gossip, anecdotes, and player interviews.

There are even entertainment segments like "The Voice of Xinghai".

Chu Shen couldn't wait to open the post.

The post contains an embedded video.

Click to play.

The screen lights up, revealing a deep cosmic sky with countless stars and swirling nebulae as the background.

The camera zooms in, revealing a rather modern-looking studio.

Two hosts, a man and a woman, sat backstage.

The male host looked to be in his late twenties, impeccably dressed in a suit, with a sunny smile.

"Hello, fellow gamers! Welcome to the first episode of 'Starry Sea Times.' I'm your host, 'Starry Sky.'"

The female host was younger, dressed in a well-fitting suit, with short hair that reached her ears, making her look both capable and approachable.

"I am 'Canghai,' and this column is dedicated to sharing firsthand game information, interesting anecdotes, and in-depth analysis of StarCraft, to safeguard your interstellar journey!"

The background begins to change, rapidly flashing past magnificent scenes of planets:

A planet with towering magical civilizations, massive robot wrecks on a mechanical wasteland, strange glowing plants in a jungle planet, and a campfire in a wanderer settlement on Aquamarine Planet...

The program continued, and the male host, Xingchen, suddenly changed the subject, a mysterious smile appearing on his face:

"Next up is an exclusive surprise that we've painstakingly obtained from within the official Starry Sea team: a rough cut of the official promotional video. Please note that this is not the final version, but it's enough to give us a sneak peek!"

The scene changes again, and an exciting battle soundtrack begins.

The heavily armored knight, his body wreathed in visible white flames, charged forward like a human tank, spear in hand.

The spear tip condensed a dazzling aura and slammed into a row of guards who raised their giant shields.

A hooded mage stood in the center of a complex magic circle filled with swirling light, his body radiating dazzling magical light.

A psychic with a bald head, bare chest, and strange tattoos resembling an ascetic.

With a thought, the rubble, broken weapons, and even the corpses of enemies within a radius of tens of meters around him slowly floated up.

His eyes narrowed instantly, and all the suspended objects shot towards the enemy at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye...

A man in a black trench coat is manipulating turrets and rangers, wreaking havoc in a dense forest.

The visuals are tight, the editing is sharp, and the lighting and special effects are pushed to the extreme.

Every frame is full of power and beauty, making viewers' adrenaline surge.

In this montage, one figure appears twice.

Once, during a thunderstorm, a flash of lightning struck mid-air, instantly killing a once arrogant superhuman.

Another time, it seems to be a battlefield on a riverbank. In the blurry footage, a swift black shadow cuts into the battlefield, causing chaos and defeat wherever it goes.

Although the shot was brief, the figure in black and the iconic lightning bolt were clearly visible.

Without a doubt, it was the Nether Thunder Envoy.

"Currently, because most high-level figures are in hiding, the high-level combat footage we have collected for each profession is very limited," Xingchen explained.

"This initial cut barely manages to gather representative shots of the five main professions."

"And all the scenes featuring supernatural abilities came from the Netherworld Thunder Envoy."

"He is also the first high-level figure among all the newbie planets to publicly display his powerful combat strength."

The comments section was now completely in a frenzy.

"666666!"

"The impact of the attacks! The special effects! It was totally worth the money!"

"The Knights' charge was so cool!!"

"What kind of monster is that telekinetic master?!"

"Wait, I think I saw the Netherworld Thunder Envoy? He flashed by in an instant!"

"It really is him! The officially recognized face of the superpowered class!"

Chu Shen stared at himself in the image for a moment, then his lips curled up involuntarily.

"I never expected... I was chosen for the promotional video."

Although my shot was short, it was absolutely explosive in a film of this caliber.

"Great, this is free promotion across the entire universe." Chu Shen was in high spirits.

"His brand awareness probably needs to reach a new level."

"Now, not only on Aquamarine Star, but also on other beginner planets, the number of players with supernatural abilities will likely surge."
