Han Xiao did not reject the suggestion of being a guest star in the movie. After all, he was not the main lead, so it would not take up much time.
Furthermore, interstellar technology was very advanced, and it did not take long to make a movie. There were many ways to watch it. One could watch it from a traditional third-party perspective, or one could watch it from a first-person perspective. One could even take the perspective of the character in the movie and follow his actions. With the change in technology, there were more and more ways to express the movie.
The [Celebrity Effect] talent did not have a quantitative introduction, but Fu Ding had this ability. It was related to the Charm attribute, and not only was it easier to gain favorability, even if he did something that offended others, it was not easy to reduce the favorability of the target. It was very fitting for the name of this talent.
The effects of the talent seemed a little vague, but Han Xiao knew that this thing was actually very useful. It could be used in business negotiations or daily communication. It was an extremely useful skill.
Even if the reward of the mission was not taken into account, this matter itself was beneficial. At present, his prestige was unparalleled, but the popularity of the news would decrease with time. Furthermore, with such an amazing battle record in front of him, it would be difficult for some ordinary deeds to continue to increase his influence and popularity.
Using the entertainment industry to continue to increase his popularity was a feasible way. After all, the entertainment industry had a unique advantage in terms of attention. This would not hurt his image, and it could even increase the outside world's understanding of him.
… Furthermore, this seemed very suitable for preaching.
Hehe, that old thing Manison definitely won't be able to lower his face to be as flirtatious as me … Could this be a roundabout way to save the country?
Under the nervous gaze of Benny Travolta and the others, Han Xiao pretended to ponder for a while before finally nodding. "Okay."
"That's great!"
Benny Travolta was overjoyed. He had thought that he would most likely be rejected, but he did not expect Han Xiao to be so friendly.
The tense atmosphere dissipated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. What followed was excitement. They had actually managed to invite a big shot like Black Star. It was like a dream.
"When are you guys going to start the project?" Han Xiao asked.
"We need to familiarize ourselves with the script first, because it's based on your real life experience. If possible, I hope you can provide some details. We might even need to organize a few interviews. What do you think …" Benny Travolta requested softly.
"That's easy, as long as I'm free." Han Xiao smiled.
"Okay, okay. Once we've finished the script, we'll hand it over to you for review. We'll only start filming after you approve."
"Yes." Han Xiao nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Do you guys have any problems with funds?"
"Don't worry about that. I still have a certain amount of influence in the entertainment industry. Moreover, this is your story, so there will definitely be a lot of people rushing to invest in it. Perhaps the Ministry of Culture of the Red Empire will also invest in it." Benny Travolta was quite confident.
"Alright, if you have any problems with funds, come to me. I'll sponsor you."
Han Xiao waved his hand. If they were going to take a picture, it would be a Sino-American picture … ah no, a red and black picture.
Hearing this, Benny Travolta was greatly moved.
Look, no wonder he's a warlord. He's so forthright.
He secretly made up his mind to make this movie a good one. Not only did he have to take into account the artistic content, but he also had to sell it well.
After being a director for many years, Benny Travolta had produced both great and failed works. He took the money from investors and called it "pursuing art", but in the end, he couldn't recoup the cost and had cheated many people.
It didn't matter if the films of ordinary investors didn't do well. At most, they would lose some reputation and money. However, if the film sponsored by the Black Star Corps didn't do well … he would lose his life. He didn't dare to be careless.
With the huge population base in the interstellar era, the efficiency of the entertainment industry was beyond imagination. Occasionally, there would even be a movie that was praised by the entire universe. The income from one movie could match the total assets of several small financial groups. It was extremely terrifying. Han Xiao had no reason not to make a fortune.
At this moment, he suddenly had an idea. "Oh right, I also want to insert someone into the crew."
"Go ahead."
Han Xiao pulled out Fu Ding's portrait and said with a smile, "This is the person. He's one of my Black Star Guards, a Calamity Grade Super. He used to be a regional celebrity as well. You just need to arrange for him to play a role."
"This person …" Benny Travolta's eyes widened.
He did not mind Black Star inserting people into the crew. He had seen this kind of thing many times before. However, he did not expect the person to be a treasure this time.
This figure! This temperament! He's practically a natural-born superstar!
Looking at everyone's stunned expression, Han Xiaoxin laughed in his heart.
He had a deep understanding of Fu Ding's charisma. Letting Fu Ding act in the movie would be enough to attract a lot of attention and make the publicity work twice the result with half the effort.
Furthermore, Han Xiao did not forget Fu Ding's deeds in his previous life, [Legend of the Singer]. He had used psychic singing to calm the war.
Therefore, in order to protect the love and peace of the universe, he decided to let Fu Ding make a comeback and become an idol!
It was not a sudden decision but an opportunity to let Fu Ding become the ambassador of the Black Star Corps. This would garner more attention and might even attract more talents. At the same time, it would also increase the stock price of the Germinal Financial Group. After many years of operations, the Germinal Financial Group had been successfully listed with the support of the army, and its assets were now huge.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but Han Xiao did not reveal them. He maintained a smile and chatted with the group. In the end, they decided to stay in the Black Star Palace for a while to gather materials. Benny Travolta and the others then bade farewell and left. Everyone's face was filled with joy.
After sending them off, Han Xiao instructed Sylvia to be in charge of the follow-up. He then went to chat with Ames for a long time so that he would not neglect his old friend.
Ames understood Han Xiao. She knew that he had a lot of things to deal with during this period, so she did not rush him. Anyway, Han Xiao and Hella were back. It was very comfortable to have someone to accompany her. She was so happy that she almost forgot about her home.
Furthermore, there was nothing to do on Floating Dragon Island. What was the point of going back?
What, you mean Jenny?
Who is that? I've never heard of her before.
…
Han Xiao returned to his room and took a shower out of habit. Steam rose from his body. He did not dry himself and directly wrapped himself in a bathrobe, humming a tune as he lay on the bed. Water droplets slid down his hair and wet the pillow.
A Beyond Grade A naturally did not need to take a shower, but Han Xiao mainly enjoyed this feeling. At the same time, he adjusted his body temperature and regained the temperature of a normal person. Only then could he take a hot shower. Otherwise, even magma would be cold to him.
A few mechanical pets crawled up and surrounded Han Xiao, rubbing their bodies against him. They were very clingy. There were cats, dogs, and even mechanical snakes. They were all mechanical lifeforms with independent thoughts. The corners of their metal bodies were removed, and they were very smooth. They did not need to eat or excrete, so it was easy to take care of them.
Ever since Hila had given him a birthday present, Han Xiao had suddenly had the idea of keeping a pet, which made the usually quiet bedroom feel a little more lively.
After casually playing with the few pets, Han Xiao held the back of his head with one hand, leaned back on the bed, opened the player forums, and browsed through the posts.
The topic of 'Black Star's Godlike Battle' had not yet died down. Instead, it was getting more and more popular. The Flickering World section was still being flooded.
Not only were there discussions, but many players left their original factions and ran over to join the Black Star Corps, causing a new wave of growth in the army's new players.
The one-sided faction war had been going on for some time. Due to the named enemy faction giving in, the army's opponents could not fight back at all. Not only did the dirty tricks of those foreign clubs not work, but they also shot themselves in the foot, causing their factions to lose a large number of ordinary players, which in turn increased the cohesion of the army's players. To a certain extent, the gap between the new and old players in the army was removed.
Now, the atmosphere within the Black Star Corps was much better. Although the players of the various countries were not harmonious, they had accepted each other.
On the forums, there was another matter that caused discussion. After Han Xiao formed the [Rescue Hella] Dungeon Crystal, he put it in the faction store.
Over the past few days, a large number of players had bought Dungeon Crystals and used their lives to admire the Army Commander.
After unremitting efforts, there was already a famous dungeon raiding team that raised the survival record to twenty-nine seconds, earning the admiration of countless players.
[Rescue Hella] was also officially on par with [Battle of Planet Lighthouse], and they were known as the two CG-type dungeons of the army. To explain, it was … play your head, just watch and be done with it.
Han Xiao happily browsed the forums for a while. Suddenly, he realized that Philip had sent a new message.
"Master, hum … a fleet that betrayed Beast Ancestor's organization has visited the frontline stronghold of the free competition zone. Among them are seven Calamity Grade officers under Beast Ancestor, and the leader is one of the four generals under Gorután, 'Claw Concubine' Jotina. She wants to see you by name."
"See me?"
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows, closed the player forums, and quickly looked through Jotina's information.
He did not know much about Gorután's subordinates. Most of them were tools, and only a few had left an impression on him in his previous life. Jotina was one of them, but it was not because of her achievements.
In his previous life, Jotina had secretly colluded with other organizations and issued a mission to the players. She wanted to destroy all the offspring breeding warehouses in Beast Ancestor's headquarters while Gorután was not home, freeing all the mothers that were imprisoned as breeding machines. Although the operation did not succeed, it still caused huge losses to Beast Ancestor. She originally wanted to use a psionic bomb to die together with Gorután, but it failed. In the end, she was torn apart by Gorután in front of everyone.
Thinking of this, Han Xiao roughly guessed the purpose of this muscular woman's visit.
"Okay, I'll see her."
…
In the Emerald Star Cluster, the Black Star frontline stronghold had already repaired the damage caused by the rescue of Hella, and the fleet was patrolling step by step.
At this moment, the spaceship of Jotina and the others was welcomed into the dock. Due to the Beast Ancestor's organization emblem on the exterior armor, they attracted the attention of all the army members on the way.
The spaceship docked, and the hatch opened. Jotina and her companions walked out of the spaceship, ignoring the strange gazes of the army members around them, and followed the mechanical receptionist to the guest room.
"We're finally here. I wonder if Black Star will take us in. After all, we were enemies not long ago."
"Black Star is not someone without magnanimity."
"I'm just afraid that he won't like us …"
Jotina did not participate in the discussion. With a tense face, she followed the receptionist into the guest room. The room was empty.
Hum!
At this moment, Han Xiao's remote projection appeared in the room. With his hands behind his back, he scanned everyone with a cold gaze.
"You guys want to see me?"
"That's right. We're all Beast Ancestor's officers. We've been dissatisfied with him for a long time, but we couldn't resist. Now that you've defeated him, we're here to seek refuge with you, hoping to serve the Black Star Corps."
Jotina did not bother with pleasantries. She stared straight at Han Xiao. Clearly, she was a straightforward girl.
Although Han Xiao had some guesses, he could not help but think of an idiom …
Is she acknowledging a thief as her father?
Pooh, I'm not a thief. I'm clearly abandoning the darkness for the light.
Han Xiao did not intend to reject. After all, seven Calamity Grade officers were not a small force. Furthermore, Jotina was a rare Beyond Grade A seed with extraordinary potential. She could compete with his subordinates, Hardaway and Lothaire.
Of course, Han Xiao was happy to see such a high-quality leek take the initiative to uproot itself. However, he could not agree too easily. He still had to ask the usual questions.
"Why are you dissatisfied with Gorután?"
Hearing this, Jotina took a deep breath. Her face was filled with grief and indignation. "In order to cultivate high-quality offspring, Gorután purchased countless female creatures from various races from the black market. They did not even have the freedom to die and could only serve as mothers. My mother was one of them. I watched her give birth to offspring one after another over the years before finally dying of exhaustion. The high-quality offspring were focused on nurturing, and the inferior ones were made slaves. Although we were related by blood, most people were indifferent to each other. That place was like a cold grave. Everyone could only please Gorután. There was not a day that I did not hate him. "
Jotina closed her eyes as if immersed in those sorrowful memories. After a while, she opened them again and said with a deep voice, "My companions and I had the same experience.
"My companions and I had the same experience. We hated everything that Gorutan had created, but we could only be manipulated by him and help him do evil. We lived in torment every day … We were not afraid of death, but only by enduring this pain and staying alive would we have a chance to change everything … Until you defeated him, we were finally free."
As she said that, Jotina prostrated on the ground, and her companions followed suit. The entire group of people prostrated themselves on the ground and bowed to Han Xiao.
"We hope you can take us in!"
Jotina touched the ground with her forehead and shouted in a deep voice. She was very emotional.
"Please take us in!" Everyone shouted in unison. Their voices were deafening and echoed in the room.
Seeing this, Han Xiao pondered for a while and nodded. "In that case, I will accept you as a member of the Black Star Corps."
Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and stood up one after another.
Jotina got up, and a smile appeared on her face again. Her expression changed from heavy to relaxed, as if the rain had washed away the dust, making her look beautiful and moving. Just like her wild temperament, her emotions were also exposed.
Han Xiao nodded, and his tone became amiable. He said with a smile, "Then we are all family now. Come to Black Star Palace. I want to see you with my own eyes and arrange positions for you. Also, if you want to see Gorután's specimen, you can also —"
At this time, Jotina interrupted Han Xiao. She stopped smiling and said seriously, "Your Excellency Black Star, I have a gift and a request."
"Tell me about it." Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Jotina nodded. "Beast Ancestor's forces are in a state of disunity now. It's a good opportunity to divide him up. I am willing to help you obtain Beast Ancestor's inheritance. This is my gift."
"What about the request?"
"I hope that you can destroy Beast Ancestor's base, completely destroy all the descendant breeding libraries, release all the mothers, and adopt all the young Beast Ancestor's descendants. This is both my request and my gift. Although I hate Gorután, these young descendants are innocent. Their thoughts are not formed yet, and they can still be molded. If they are nurtured well, they can become the fresh blood of the army. "
Jotina finished speaking resolutely and looked up at Han Xiao, as if she wanted to see the answer she was looking for from his eyes.
Han Xiao opened the interface and took a look. As expected, he had triggered a mission, but it was not one but two.
The first mission was [Liberate Beast Ancestor's Forces]. The content was the same as what Jotina had said. He needed to liberate Beast Ancestor's base, and the reward was Jotina's Favorability and her Character Summon Card.
[The End of Darkness]
Mission Introduction: Human trafficking is the source of countless tragedies. Jotina hates it, and destroying this phenomenon has always been her lifelong wish.
Mission Details: End the human trafficking phenomenon in Galaxy
Reward: 10000 Billion Experience, 15 Random Rewards, 3 Universe Legendary Points, 5 Blank Character Summon Cards
Special Reward: [Liberator of the Slaves] Milestone
[Liberator of the Slaves]: Your relationship with all the Order factions will always be [Reverence].
"One trillion Experience …" Han Xiao was stunned.
This was the mission with the most ridiculous reward he had ever seen, but its difficulty was also through the roof.
End the human trafficking of the entire universe?
Judging from the population of the entire universe, this was an impossible mission. As the saying went, if there was no trade, there would be no killing, and if there was no demand, there would be no market. If even the three Universal Civilizations could not do it, who else could?
No wonder Jotina only asked him to liberate Beast Ancestor's forces. She probably knew that this wish was impossible.
Han Xiao naturally would not expose her. He shook his head, put this matter in his heart, and slowly said,
"I agree to your request to liberate Beast Ancestor's forces.
"Then, I'm willing to serve you until the end of time."
Jotina lowered her head, and admiration appeared in her eyes.
Ever since Han Xiao got rid of Gorután, she had regarded Black Star as her idol.
Before meeting Black Star today, she had also been nervous, afraid that the true face of her idol would disappoint her.
She was also afraid that Black Star would mistake her for a fence-sitter who was afraid of death and see her actions as betraying her old master to join the winner, which would make her very sad.
However, at this moment, she only felt that Black Star was indeed the person who got rid of Gorután. Her admiration for him was not in vain.
Her heart palpitated like an electric current running through her body. She was a straightforward person, and her emotions were easily agitated. However, at this moment, she felt that she was moved.
