Chapter 1089 - Black Star Cup
1089 Black Star Cup
This is unfair! This is unfair!
Inside the exclusive training room in Black Star Palace, Mysterious Energy Host stood by the door and complained furiously to the two people in the room nonstop.
Han Xiao raised his hand and shattered a holy light shockwave from Aurora. He then scratched his ear, feeling like he was almost going deaf.
Ever since Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy found out that Han Xiao had found the Holy Light Particle a master, he instantly went mad.
Initially, he wanted to drag his old friend down so that they could happily be locked inside machines together. He did not want to feel lonely anymore. However, to his shock, although he was the one who led the way to the Holy Light Particle, the Holy Light Particle received much better treatnt.
Why do you have a master by I have to be locked inside this tal?
I want a master too!
Lately, as long as Han Xiao called him out, the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy would nag nonstop around him.
“Master! Master! Master!” Han Xiao said with resignation. “Can you stop complaining?”
“No!”
A vein appeared on Han Xiao’s forehead. His patience had reached the limit. “Are you forcing to turn on silent mode for the Mysterious Energy Host? You won’t even be able to speak at all then!”
Hearing this, Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy finally shut up.
Being trapped in a tool was bad enough. He could only speak because Black Star was kind enough to let it. If he was not even able to speak, he would have zero ans of entertainnt.
However, Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy was still frustrated. After less than a minute, he uncontrollably spoke again with a soft tone like a wronged wife. “But I really want a master...”
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, “How old are you? Can you have so pride? Are all Primal Esper Abilities as shaless as you?”
Holy Light Particle who was watching the show from the side heard that and said, “Bullsh*t, most Primal Esper Abilities have class. It’s the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy who spoiled our na!”
Furious, the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy yelled, “Shut up! You’re not much better than !”
“Alas, it’s so comfortable to be inside my master, so much warr than being in a tal tin,” the Holy Light Particle said with a lazy tone.
Staying in Aurora’s body and being nurtured by her Vital Energy was as comfortable as enjoying hot springs. No matter how the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy yelled at him, he always used this response to make the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy even more frustrated and irritated.
Listening to the two Esper Abilities fight, Han Xiao could not help but massage his temples.
These two must be the floor of virtue among the Primal Esper Abilities...
“Alright, alright, that’s it for today.” Han Xiao waved.
Hearing this, Aurora obediently deactivated her ability. Like a duck that got suffocated, the annoying Holy Light Particle suddenly shut up and went silent.
“Erm... uncle, how did I do?”
Aurora looked a little anxious.
She had not been a combatant in the past, so she rarely accepted combat training from Han Xiao at all. The only tis she did was as Hila’s support, and that was many years ago.
During the combat training, Han Xiao was not as kind and gentle as usual. He was quite strict.
Aurora did not have many opportunities to take part in direct combat, so her combat experience was limited. Therefore, she was worried she might not have done well.
“Not too bad. You need to make smarter choices...” Han Xiao called Aurora close and guided her step by step.
After Aurora learned to control the Holy Light Particle, she had the ability to take on direct battles. Although she would still not really have the chance to fight, Han Xiao still trained her personally to help her master the combat techniques of the Holy Light Particle.
While doing so, Han Xiao also tested the Holy Light Particle’s special ability to ‘punish evil’. This ability was completely subjective. Whether sothing was evil or not completely depended on the feelings of its master and the target.
The punishnt effect Han Xiao received was very weak. According to the Holy Light Particle, in Aurora’s heart, he was a great man, and she had never once felt he was evil. The weak damage mainly ca from how Han Xiao felt about himself. He had never felt he was a righteous man.
After a bit more guidance, Han Xiao sent Aurora away, summoned Phillip, and looked at the changes that had occurred in the army after the Holy Light Seed system was announced.
Quite a few days had already passed after the Holy Light Seed announcent. The impact was enormous. Many people had applied to join from every Star Field. Therefore, the army had to, of course, filter the applicants. Also, the cost of recruiting and paying salaries to those people was not a small amount.
The good news was, most ordinary people ca for the chance of acquiring extraordinary power, so their goal was clear and straightforward, aning they were resilient to pressure.
Therefore, without any internal moral conflict, Han Xiao told Sylvia to lower the basic salary of these newcors to cut costs. This way, the army would be able to recruit more people at a lower cost. Anyway, these people were not here for the money, so it was a great opportunity to let the army acquire a large amount of cheap labor. Furthermore, in order to gain rits, these people would definitely work hard.
What? This is oppression?
No, no, no, this is called fighting to make their dreams co true.
Showing them what they could obtain by working hard was a must-learn for leaders.
Seeing the rocketing business performance across all industries, Han Xiao nodded with satisfaction and asked about another matter.
“How’s the Army Tournant plan I told Sylvia to co up with? Let take a look.”
The virtual screen before him turned into a plan drafted by Sylvia.
Han Xiao looked through it in detail. Sylvia basically followed the structure he gave. Sparring was just one of the many programs. There were also all kinds of technical, sports, and entertainnt competitions. Of them, the sports and entertainnt competitions were the highest in number.
Furthermore, the army mbers could also request certain competitions. As long as they were not nonsense, there was a chance these requests would be approved. Han Xiao had no doubts the players would request soccer and play so ‘Shaolin Soccer’.
Based on the strength of army mbers, each Grade was classified into a group, ensuring that the participants would only et competitors of the sa Grade. At the sa ti, he also gave the players the freedom to choose either to join their own groups or the NPC groups.
Of course, encouragent asures could not be left out. No matter what group or program, as long as the participant’s placent was high, the army would give out a grand reward. This would ensure that most army warriors would be interested in taking part.
In order to let mbers who did not take part or were eliminated early still participate in so way, Sylvia suggested opening up bets for all the programs and competitions.
This way, it would receive attention from the entire army. As an ard force, there were tons of gambling addicts. Even those who did not gamble normally would also be influenced by the atmosphere to place so bets.
At the sa ti, this would also earn back the cost of hosting the event. Sylvia even planned to sell tickets, broadcast it across the entire universe, and charge for it. She had a way of making money.
Han Xiao thought this was a good idea. He could use this opportunity to start a competition league, like the sports competitions in his previous life, building a platform where Supers could display their prowess. This might be quite popular.
In the future, perhaps other Beyond Grade A organizations could take part. Since the developnt union prevented physical conflicts, this might be one way for the Beyond Grade As to display their strength, by letting their subordinates earn so honor for their organizations.
“According to this plan, this is going to be a festival the entire army will take part in, which will affect business operations. However, the sense of unity brought by this kind of large faction event is quite impressive. Not only the players but the normal army mbers also need ways to relax outside of work,” Han Xiao murmured.
To the players, the focus of the Flickering World version was to ride the tide of the era and fight each other, carrying out the first round of national wars on this grand stage. The clubs’ final goal was to be placed high in the International League.
Hence, if he, an NPC, hosted an even larger competition in the early- to mid-stage of the version, it would definitely be loved by the players as a warmup for the Pro League. This way, the appeal of his faction would evolve from a powerful organization with a lot of benefits to the host of a competition in the players’ eyes.
In order to take part in the Army Tournant, one naturally had to be in the army. No players from other factions would be able to take part in it. Therefore, once the players recognized the importance of the Army Tournant, the army would beco a faction many players had to join like when it was the guiding faction in Version 2.0.
“This kind of large-scale faction event is not suitable to be hosted too often. Once every five to ten years should be best. Also, it needs a better na. ‘Army Tournant’ lacks personality.”
Thinking of his pitiful talent for naming things, Han Xiao was not confident and called Phillip out.
“Give a na.”
Phillip tilted his head and said, “How about... Army Gala, hum?”
Han Xiao’s face trembled. Why not just call it the Spring Festival Gala?
“Too boring, give a cool and flashy one.”
“Then... Galaxy Super Clash! Top of the Universe, Black Star Army Peak Tournant! Hum!”
What the hell? What stupid information did those players share with Phillip?
“Let’s not make it too flashy...”
Phillip gave another few nas. In the end, Han Xiao officially decided to call it the Black Star Cup Army Tournant, or Black Star Cup in short. Simple and easily understood, it even included his na.
Han Xiao then made so adjustnts to the plan and sent it to Sylvia. He decided to make an announcent about the first Black Star Cup another day. A lot of ti was required to prepare for such a large event, so he decided to announce it first to preheat it like the players’ Pro League.
The scale of the Black Star Cup was so much bigger than the Pro League. The Pro League only included the players, while the entire army could take part in this. Although there were more than eight million army players, this was still a small number compared to the total mbers of the army.
However, most players had reached Grade B. Their importance was completely different compared to before. They could already be considered a very important force in the army.
In the universe, Grade Bs were considered the backbones of their forces. They were powerful in any non-Beyond Grade A organization. Even many Beyond Grade A organizations did not have as many Grade Bs as there were army players.
In the past few months, he had attracted a lot of attention, so he needed ti to digest the influence it had brought. This was a good opportunity to direct all the attention to the army, so it was the best ti to host the Black Star Cup.
Furthermore, Han Xiao had another more important goal.
The period of ti when the players had the strongest desire to spend was before the Pro Leagues of every version. The players would only spend without hesitation to turn their money into strength before a large event.
Currently, the Flickering World was going from the early stage to the middle stage. Although no player had reached the maximum level yet, after accumulating for close to a year, many players had quite thick wallets.
“So leeks... are ripe.”
Han Xiao sighed.
His scythe was ready.
