Chapter 351: The Black Star Will Bless You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Through battlefield repairs, Han Xiao had gotten a few new blueprints, including the Hovering Turner, High Caliber Defensive Machine Gun, and the Offensive, Defensive, and Scouting Enlistee Class armor. As he expected, the NCO Class armor required [Heavy Machinery Modification], so the progress was stuck.
The Great chanic Han was not one to return with nothing, so using his relationship with the military, he bought three different types of NCO Class armors with 2,000 or so Enas. When he returned to the Juberly Hub and learned [Heavy Machinery Modification], he would be able to get its blueprint. He would then build the different sets of armor and sell them to the players. The cost of buying the armor could easily be earned back.
Everyone received twelve thousand, so their purchasing power is largely increased.Han Xiao was exuberant. This kind of mass-produced armor sold very well, and its attributes could be increased just by him putting in so experience to level up the blueprint. Furthermore, he had the boost from Machinery Affinity, so the armor that he produced would be much better than the ones from assembly lines. After selling them, he could still earn from long-term repair fees.
The commission that he received from the hire could only buy about one class advancent knowledge, but through profiting from the players, that earning could be multiplied many tis.
The Credibility Points of the Black Star rcenary Group increased quite a bit, and they finally had their first combat mission experience. The Sunils detailed their missions, including them requesting for the most dangerous missions and completing it perfectly without any deaths. This new information was very valuable.
The relationship with the Sunil was unlocked, and it increased to 1,000 points imdiately, reaching the ‘Friendly’ level.
On top of all that, their Renown increased five points as well, two points more than the original reward, so Black Star’s na started to spread around the rcenary industry. The most direct increase was the Faction single mission reward quota was increased by 10,000 experience, which ant that there was 260,000 more daily experience due to the twenty-six tis multiplier.
After the rewards were given, the rcenaries left one after another, but Han Xiao stayed in Forest City. The players stayed for a few days and got a little impatient.
On this day, the players found Han Xiao, and Frenzied Sword asked, “Black Phantom, you...”
“Call Black Star.” Han Xiao knocked on Frenzied Sword’s head.
Frenzied Sword then said, “Black Star, when are we going back? What are we staying here for?”
“Waiting for soone.”
The players thought that after the Catastrophe ended so did this hiring mission, but in Han Xiao’s eyes, it was just the beginning!
...
One day later, the Sunil Military sent soone to tell Han Xiao that Herlous wanted to et him. Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and smiled.
“Finally.”
Following the soldiers to a base facility, he entered a private room, where Herlous was waiting. The man stood up, waved, and sent the soldiers away—he then closed the door, leaving the two of them alone in the room.
There were two glasses of alcohol on the table. Han Xiao glanced around and sat down directly. “I thought you’d find sooner.”
“It was delayed by sothing. I had to fully cooperate with the military for publicity and lend the armor that my older brother left to the research institution.” Herlous sighed. He had never expected to receive such treatnt, but it was mainly caused by three reasons. Firstly, they needed to wash away the effect of the split up. Secondly, Herlous was strong, and strength signified position. There were only two known grade B Supers in the entire race—Fernas had left, and Herlous had appeared. Thirdly, they now had a chance to resurrect the Commander Class armor.
“You seem to have many questions for , but first let ask you a question...” Han Xiao raised the glass up, swirled it gently, and purposely said in a very slow tone, “Do you believe I’m a foreseer?”
“Half.” Herlous’ eyes were sparkling. “Did you foresee the future of protecting the race long ago, and that was why you ca to contact ?”
“Of course, I didn’t know a bar owner is actually a hidden grade B Super, and I also didn’t know that he would wear a Commander Class armor called Shattered Light to fight the Catastrophe.” Han Xiao said mockingly.
Herlous smiled bitterly. No one knew his armor was called Shattered Light, so the foreseer identity was proved. Yet, that left him with another question. “How many things can you foresee? How far can you see into the future?”
“Hahaha, frankly, I can only foresee parts of the future, bits and pieces. I don’t know much. If I didn’t accidentally peek into Planet Sunil’s future, I wouldn’t have co,” Han Xiao said sincerely without even blinking.
“I see, although I don’t know much about the galaxy, I did hear that foresight usually has limitations.” Herlous understood, and he was glad that Han Xiao had seen Planet Sunil’s future instead of sothing else’s future. Maybe this was the long-awaited luck of his race.
Suddenly, Herlous’ eyes beca sharp. He stared at Han Xiao and said in a low voice, “So, what is your real motive?”
The atmosphere suddenly beca intense, and faint flas flickered around Herlous. He felt that Han Xiao definitely had a goal, or else he would not have exposed his foresight. This mysterious man definitely wanted sothing from the Sunil race.
Han Xiao put the glass down and said slowly, “Let tell you a story...
“In a planet where its surface civilization lagged behind, there was a handso man who was a test subject. One day, he went through an experint, awakened the ability of foresight, and saw many pieces of the future. Relying on his foresight, he escaped successfully and gained freedom, then he destroyed the evil enemy of this planet, becoming a legend known throughout the entire planet. However, at this ti, he saw a new future, a man-made disaster from the sky would fall on his mother planet. The people behind it hid in the depths of the universe, so he left the planet and stepped into a broader world, searching for ways to save his mother planet...”
Han Xiao adjudged his collar. “Naturally, I am that handso man:”
Herlous suddenly could not keep a serious face, and his lips started twitching. He did not know if calling oneself like that was common in the galaxy, but it was shaless in the Sunil culture...
“We are from different races, so it’s normal to have aesthetic differences,” Han Xiao said.
“Okay...” After being montarily stunned, Herlous suddenly rembered what they were discussing. “So, you’re saying that you entered the universe to save your mother planet. What does that have to do with Sunil?”
Han Xiao smiled. “My mother planet is located in the Garton Galaxy, soon to face a disaster. I think you Sunils are more than familiar with the na of the people behind it.”
Herlous blinked a few tis, then his expression suddenly changed. “DarkStar‽”
He suddenly felt that everything made sense, and everything was connected!
DarkStar was their common enemy; therefore, he ca to Sunil. This was the motive!
“The rcenaries under are warriors from my planet as well,” Han Xiao added. “They know of this as well, and they followed because they wanted to search for a way to save the planet. They can vouch for anyti. I helped you not only because we will share the sa tragic experience but also because I’m looking for an ally. Since you know why I ca, you don’t have to worry anymore.”
Herlous’ expression softened, and he was imdiately filled with respect for Han Xiao. “So, you’re the sa as the guardians of Sunil, a hero wanting to protect his planet.”
Without any blushing, Han Xiao said with humility, “I’m not a hero. I just have responsibilities on my shoulders.”
The Great chanic Han felt like he had traveled back in ti when he acted like he was brainwashed. Giving an Oscar-worthy performance, his actor’s soul was on fire.
This mont, Herlous felt that Han Xiao looked much taller and greater, and he felt a bit ashad.
Han Xiao had the resolve to imdiately look for ways to save his planet just because he foresaw parts of the future—he was a complete doer. He, however, even after his race went through a disaster, still escaped from reality for so many years. Just thinking about it made his face hot—he was ashad and could not remain tough in front of Han Xiao anymore.
