017. Gravitational Development
【Side Quest Triggered—"The Roar of Freedom"】
【Type】: bat
【Duration】: 30 Natural Days
【Quest Difficulty】: B
【Description】:
"Rain falls on the righteous and the wicked alike. The poor are drenched, suffog, feverish, dying in fusion, while the rich hold umbrels, praising nature's sweet dew."
The Grand Duchy of Grant has only 47 million people, yet it feeds 630 million Frost-Pted citizens. From the Balgra Volo to the Agate Basin, this fertile nd has always been ri oil and milk.
But what is the cost?

Shatter the shackles, break free from ial trol, and roar toward a free future—that is the choice of the Grant people.
You are her a hero nor a vilin; you are merely a cold-hearted beneficiary. But as speak louder than iions, and your deeds will win the weak the rights they deserve.

A. "Children of the Volo"—Overthrow the pradroup of Grant ahe Grant people recim power, rebuilding the republic.
Reward: 1.2 million experience
B. "Buried in Ultramarihe greatest obstacle to the uprising is the old-world ruler. Kill the Grand Duke of Grant, Gamos Luwin Grant (Gamma-tier).

After the Tianhuan representatives left, Li Aozi remained in the reception room with Lord Aud, discussing this difficult-to-judge transa.
"Mr. Li Aozi, in many people's eyes, you were born in Frost-Pted. Won't ag like this have an impact?"
Aud rested his on his hand, rotating a por teacup, and asked curiously.
Li Aozi, ued iea, crossed his arms and toyed with the memory unit taining the professional knowledge, responding with a question:
"Why do you think that?"
"Tianhuan knows you’re a hero for defeating the anti-human anizatiohey still want you to incite a ial rebellion. This might provoke Frost-Pted nationalists' aoward yht?" Lord Aud held his . "What surprises me is that you actually agreed."
"What nationalism is there in Frost-Pted? If things tinue as they are, all they'll have left is male and female extremism." Li Aozi shrugged indifferently. "As for public opinion—don't be fooled by the current online support. Most of them are just paying lip service. If anything, bleeding Frost-Pted might be the only way to wake them up to who their real enemy is."
"The enemy iwin Paces...?" Lord Aud leaned back, impressed. "Your vision is certainly grand. The people of the Four Nations are on a different level than those from the outer world when it es to perspective."
"There's o sell yourself short. The Aud family has mao operate for so many years despite being squeezed by Frost-Pted and Tianhuan. It shows that your capabilities are not inferior to those in power in the Four Nations."
"I'll take that as a pliment."
Li Aozi casually opened a newly established GTB bank at on his terminal; Tianhuan had given him 20 million Zhub, equivalent to 1 million Derbies.
This was just the fee for hiring him; there would be additional funds specifically for ing the ial rebellion once he arrived in the Grand Duchy of Grant.
With half a month left before the beta pyers went ohis timely infusion of funds from Tianhuan allowed him to further expand his biochemical pool.
", I start produg the Omega Energy awakening serum."
In the following days, the bes of being on good terms with Lord Aud quickly became apparent.
Uhe banner le Town, Li Aozi openly imported some biochemical raw materials from Frost-Pted and Tianhuan. Within a week, Li Aozi's boratory expahree times.
During this time, Li Aozi also pleted his study of "Omega Energy Refiheory," using up the remaining experience points to raise this professional knowledge to a professor-level mastery.
As a result, the development level of the 【Gravitational】 Omega Energy advao a age:
——————————————
Core Omega Energy—【Gravity ? tact】
【Rating】: Omega (Ω, the 24th and final Greek letter)
【Development Level】: tact Level
【Description】:
[Gravity ? tact]—You have gained a more intuitive uanding of 'gravity,' one of the four fual forces of the universe. Before you lies not only a field of driving forces and velocity, but you are also beginning to touch deeper realms.
You have fallen into the trap it weaves for you—but you do so willingly. Yes, may you tio remain this way.
Gravity, such a wondrous and enigmatic power, its strength is limitless, and so is your ever-growing ambition.
The power of gods has granted you the ability to reality, yet you seek to covet the gods themselves.
Stop now; merely toug it is enough.
"oo you; gravity exists only by my side."
Range: Spherical space with a 50-meter radius tered on yourself.
【Active Effects】:
Mode 1 ? Monarch
es Omega Energy to freely trol the magnitude and dire of gravity within range, altering gravitational acceleration. (Up to 150G)
Gravity target sele igtribute checks but is affected by anti-gravity effects.
Mode 2 ?
You bend the gravitational field around your body to achieve light defle, rendering yourself optically invisible. (Optical ons have a 70% ce of being deflected when targeting you.)
【Passive Effects】:
: Your body is favored by the forces of the universe—Gain 18% damage redu.
②: You have prehended deeper gravitational ws, and your body is permaly shrouded by a gravitational field—Immuo all time-reted skill effects except your own (including: time stop, stasis, accelerated aging, and time slow effeo longer affect you).
③: It's unheard of for a child of gravity to die from a fall—Immuo fall damage from heights.
【Current Development Level】: tact Level; Omega Energy ption rate at this development level is—100%.
——————————————
The gravitational effects further advanced, and the application of Omega-tier Omega Energy became even more versatile.
With the "Professor-Level ? Omega Energy Refiheory" in hand, the speed of developing Omega Energy would increase signifitly. Li Aozi po advahe gravitational Omega Energy to the level, trol Level, before heading into space.
However, this also meant Li Aozi was once again troubled by the need for experience.
On one hand, even though his 【Biochemist】 profession was a sedary profession, it still leveled up acc to the standards of a primary profession.
Adding to that, each upgrade of professional knowledge ed a massive amount of experience, and the 【Craft】 specialization required dozens of professional knowledge fields to bee fully developed.
Each level of mastery in a field, from Basitermediate, Advanced, Baaster, Professor, Pioo Schor, had eight levels.
With each level increase, the experience required doubled.
To upgrade a piece of professional knowledge to Schor-level, Li Aozi estimated that he would o kill every living thing on Azure Star to gather enough experience.
The 【Craft】 specialization burhrough money even more than the 【Domination】 specialization. As the saying goes, "Poor schors, rich warriors." In Star Abyss, f a bloody path as a 【Martial Artist】 and earning a living was actually more viable.
Even so, from an NPC's perspective, Li Aozi's learning speed was terrifyingly fast. The "Pioneer-Level ? Biochemical Materials Sce" he previously mastered already allowed him to create top-tier materials on Azure Star. With the addition of "Impnt Teology," he could soon produce bio-impnts and, like the Professor, beat 【Meists】 like Du Zexin to the point of doubting their existence.
Fortunately, the quest triggered by the Tianhuan visitors temporarily alleviated his urgent need for experience.
Speaking of which, I should have mentioned earlier that natural Gamma-tier does on Azure Star.
One reason is the ck of an enviro ducive to the emergence of Gamma-tier beings, so professions like 【Martial Artist】 and 【Mutant】 that rely on physical bodies max out at Beta-tier; the enviro doesn't support further evolution.
In such a case, those who mao reach Gamma-tier are as rare as astronauts—one in a few billion. Those who succeed rely on time and d ot replicate the path. Even if such a person advaheir strength will dee with age.
Even if you send Gagarin back to spa his old age, he wouldn't be able to hahe strain.
Oher hand, professions like 【Biochemist】 and 【Meist】 that rely on knowledge have a better ce of advang (such as Abyss professors who could staough Bio-Colossuses to reach Gamma-tier).
But in practice... everyone saw what happeo the Bio-Colossus.
