After meeting with Harrison, Han Xiao left the prison, ran back to the research center, and found the Beyond Grade A Mechanic there.
"You're going to the field?"
Hearing this news, Manison and the other Beyond Grade A Mechanics were a little surprised. They did not understand why Black Star would do such a menial job instead of doing his research.
"What kind of attitude is that? I'm responding to the call of the three Universal Civilizations, leading by example and leading the charge. I'm responsible from head to toe," Han Xiao said righteously.
Manison was too lazy to continue the conversation. He glanced at Han Xiao and guessed Black Star's plan. "Then just go. Why are you looking for us?"
Black Star was a person who would not act unless he saw a rabbit. If there were no benefits, he would definitely not go to the field. He felt that Black Star was not only looking for the virus core but also wanting to take the opportunity to infiltrate the various large organizations in the Ancient Star Desert.
To be honest, Manison also had such thoughts in the beginning, but after thinking about it, he gave up on this idea.
The current three Universal Civilizations would never allow a Beyond Grade A to take the opportunity to expand their organization. Their actions would most likely end up benefiting someone else. Thus, the Mechanic Emperor, who had always been dishonest, was now obediently researching the antidote set, not wanting to cause any trouble. Furthermore, new technology was far more attractive to him than expanding his organization.
This time, Han Xiao chuckled, stretched out two fingers, and said confidently, "Since you don't need to fight, you don't have to.
"Since you don't need to fight, why don't you sponsor me and lend me some mechanical troops?"
Everyone was silent.
Lending you our troops is like sending sheep to the tiger's den. How can we get them back?
You're just lusting after our troops. You're despicable!
"… How much do you want?"
"Sigh, I don't have high expectations. This is mainly a time to let the three Universal Civilizations see your sense of justice. Just give as much as you want, but don't exceed fifty million per person. I'll feel bad if it's too much." Han Xiao waved his hand humbly.
Pfft, fifty million mechanical troops, what the hell are you thinking?
You'll feel bad? How shameless!
Everyone cursed in their hearts, but they did not reject Han Xiao's request. The three Universal Civilizations' allies and a few neutral Beyond Grade A Mechanics all lent out a portion of ordinary mechanical soldiers, which added up to about eight million.
Old Manison was the most generous of them all, lending 2.5 million mechanical soldiers. This was just a drop in the bucket for him.
The stingiest one was' Mechanical Catastrophe 'Francisco, who only gave him five thousand troops. Even Jackornitz, a Mechanical Pugilist who was not proficient in machinery, gave more than him.
A Beyond Grade A Mechanic had a lot of assets, and a few mechanical soldiers were nothing. Knowing that he would not be able to get them back, he might as well just treat them as losses. In comparison, they still had to give face to Black Star. Furthermore, this was also to show their attitude to the three Universal Civilizations, showing that while they were too lazy to do anything, they still strongly supported the field operations.
Putting away the 'sponsored' troops, Han Xiaoxin was satisfied. While these soldiers were also nothing to him, he liked to see these Beyond Grade As grit their teeth and feel helpless.
Arriving at the dock of the starport, Han Xiao boarded the main ship that the dynasty had arranged for him and took over the command authority from the captain. From now on, the three dynasty fleets were temporarily under his command.
After waiting for a while, the warden rushed over with Harrison and the others.
"Your Excellency Black Star, the procedures are complete. I'll leave these people to you."
The warden's tone was respectful.
"Okay." Han Xiao nodded. He looked at Harrison and the others, who were overjoyed, and said, "You are not free yet. You have to follow me from now on. If you do anything, I will throw you back into prison. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Before Harrison even spoke, his teammates beside him could not wait to shout, afraid that they would lose their only chance if they answered too slowly.
Han Xiao nodded. After sending the warden away, he gave the order to set sail.
The three fleets slowly took off, leaving the disaster command center of the three Universal Civilizations and entering the depths of space.
At this time, the captain asked.
"Your Excellency Black Star, where are we going now?"
"What do you usually do?" Han Xiao asked.
"We usually patrol the desolate universe belt or check some planets that are confirmed to have traces of the infection …"
Currently, the various civilizations in the Ancient Star Desert had set up checkpoints at the stargate stations, the borders, and the transportation hub planets. All spaceships had to be checked. As for those unknown spaceships that avoided the stargate stations and moved freely in the desolate universe belt, as long as they connected to the public link of the Star Field, the three Universal Civilizations could track their IP address, locate them, and send people to intercept them. This was the original purpose of the Star Field's internal network. Most of the field fleets were carrying out such missions.
Therefore, the biggest problem was that the spaceships that blocked the public link and entered stealth mode could only find the whereabouts of these people through the space monitoring buoys that were densely packed in the Star Field.
"Let me think …"
After understanding the situation, Han Xiao pretended to be deep in thought, but he actually opened the players' forums to take a look.
The outbreak of the Intelligent Plague had attracted the attention of the players to the Ancient Star Desert. Now, all the discussions about the Ancient Star Desert were pinned to the top.
Because most of the players were in the Flickering World, the Ancient Star Desert was immediately locked down after the outbreak of the Intelligent Plague, so the players from the outside world could not intervene. They could only vent their strong curiosity through discussion.
Han Xiao opened the pinned post, and the players' discussion jumped into his eyes.
Bulging Tight Clothes: I knew it. The previous two versions had more than one Main Storyline Event. 4.0 is indeed the same. The Intelligent Plague is the second Main Storyline Event.
Root-Seeking Formula: But we can't participate in this Main Storyline Event. We can't even enter the Ancient Star Desert. Can we only watch from the sidelines?
Three Gays Under the Moon: Didn't you see the new episode of 'Galaxy Times'? The program made a reasonable guess. They said that this Main Storyline Event is not for us to watch, and there is definitely a chance for us to participate. Therefore, the possibility of the virus being leaked is very high. Only then will the rest of us have a chance to intervene.
Four-eyed Reasoning Emperor: That's right. Furthermore, there are many missions on the black market that hire people to try and sneak into the Ancient Star Desert. We players can do the same. Judging from our influence on the Main Storyline Event in the previous two versions, this Intelligent Plague Event might be pushed by us. As long as someone successfully leaks the virus, the Version Event will spread across the entire universe!
Undead Don't Wear Underwear: Let the disaster spread across the entire universe? It's really the fourth disaster. _ (: з 」 ∠) _]
Sun Knight: That's too much. Wouldn't it be better to stop the disaster? Do you have to watch the world burn? Don't you have any conscience?
Shi Zhenxiang: That's right. Did you guys teach the Army Commander? How can we be a burden and let the people of the universe suffer?
In the post, the players were divided into several factions. They were discussing and cursing at each other.
The players did not know that the 'Intelligent Plague' was just the background story of his previous life and thought that it was one of the Main Storyline Events of Version 4.0. Now that most of them were in the Flickering World and could not enter the Ancient Star Desert, many of them were anxious that they could not participate in the Main Storyline Event.
Some of them believed that the Main Storyline Event would not be a cutscene, so they deduced that the Intelligent Plague Event did not need to be pushed and would be leaked on its own.
Others felt that this Main Storyline Event needed to be fought for, so they actively leaked the virus and let the disaster spread. They believed that this way, they would be able to obtain a universe-level Main Storyline Event.
Among the players of the entire universe, there were many who supported pushing for the disaster. Some wanted to participate in the Main Storyline Event, some wanted to earn rewards, and some simply wanted to create a big piece of news. They just wanted to watch the world burn, hoping that it would not be chaotic.
As expected of the Cancer of the Universe … Han Xiao secretly shook his head.
As the chaotic players continued to become stronger, their negative impact on the universe environment would become more and more obvious.
However, he was also slightly relieved. If the players in his previous life encountered the Intelligent Plague, probably half of them would support pushing for the disaster. Now, with the Black Star Corps as a guide, more people considered the problem from the perspective of the big picture and opposed the disaster. The lawless Chaotic Evil Faction players were obviously much fewer than in his previous life.
My Faction Guidance Plan is still somewhat effective.
Han Xiao was relieved.
He scanned through the other posts on the forum. Suddenly, his eyes locked onto a post titled 'Ancient Star Desert Player Benefits! Employment Mission with a Reward of 5,000,000 Enas'.
The poster proudly shared a screenshot of the mission. The content was to smuggle the Virtual Mutiny Virus out of the Ancient Star Desert, and the reward was 5,000,000 Enas. To the players, this was a huge sum of money, enough to buy more than a dozen small and medium-sized battleships.
Seeing that the players who stayed in the Ancient Star Desert got a chance to earn big money, many replies expressed their envy.
Han Xiao glanced at the ID of the poster. It was' Melancholic Prince ', and he could not help but narrow his eyes.
A reward of 5,000,000 Enas and a deposit. It felt a little strange … This seemed to be using the players by name. The employer behind the scenes should have summarized some of the characteristics of the players.
Humph, the players who stayed in the Ancient Star Desert really can't hold back. I have to use thunderous means to stop this evil trend that supports the disaster.
Han Xiaoxin made the decision to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. This Melancholic Prince who publicized the employment mission was undoubtedly an excellent target.
Only by dealing with him with thunderous means and letting the other players see the consequences of causing trouble would he be able to correct the atmosphere and reduce the number of people who dared to cause trouble.
At the same time, he could follow the clues and investigate the anonymous employer of Melancholic Prince. After all, if there was no transaction, there would be no killing. The mercenaries were only following orders. Only by finding the employer behind the scenes with ulterior motives would he be able to intimidate them.
Although Melancholic Prince did not disclose his coordinates, since the other party was a mercenary, there would definitely be records of his whereabouts in the galaxy. As long as he locked onto the most recent record, he would be able to determine the approximate search range. For a pinnacle Beyond Grade A Virtual Mechanic, this was a piece of cake.
Information about the Ancient Star Desert was blocked, but the player forums were not affected. With this additional intelligence network, Han Xiao could obtain information that others would not be able to know.
Right, I still have to find the manager of the black market in the Ancient Star Desert. These employment missions to smuggle the virus are all issued through the black market. As long as I control this channel, I will be able to monitor the movements of those restless organizations and cut off one of the employment channels.
Han Xiao's eyes flickered.
If the manager of the black market in the Ancient Star Desert did not cooperate, he did not need to be soft-hearted. Even the three Universal Civilizations would be happy to have someone temporarily control the black market channel to reduce the risk of a disaster.
With this in mind, Han Xiao had a clear target and turned to look at the captain.
"Split up. The main team, follow me. We'll go catch a few bastards."
…
Somewhere in the desolate universe belt of the Ancient Star Desert, a galactic fortress was floating in the outer space of a desolate planet. Spaceships patrolled around it, and the outer armor had the same emblem, which looked like a roaring wolf head.
This emblem represented a galactic organization called the Kepel Financial Group. On the surface, it was a legitimate financial group, but in reality, it was a black market arms dealer in the Ancient Star Desert, operating the gray business of arms reselling.
The organization was run by a family, and the leaders were all members of the Kepel family. The current leader of the organization was Kepel the Fifth, who had a part of the Beast Race bloodline and a werewolf head.
At this moment, in the leader's office of the Kepel Financial Group fortress, Kepel the Fifth received a capable officer who had just rushed back.
"I asked you to be responsible for spreading anonymous employment on the black market. Has the mission been completed?" Kepel the Fifth asked with a deep voice.
"Yes, many black market mercenaries have already accepted the mission and are willing to secretly transport the Virtual Mutiny Virus."
"Very good. The Virtual Mutiny Virus is a powerful weapon. There will definitely be a market for it in the future. We need to control it!"
As a black market arms dealer, the Kepel Financial Group had no reason to let go of a powerful war-grade weapon like the Virtual Mutiny Virus. It had nothing to do with other factors but purely commercial considerations.
"Boss, there's one more thing. I've specially hired some Immortal mercenaries. I think they have a higher chance of completing the mission."
"Well done! The Immortals are money-grubbers and are naturally suited to be mercenaries. As long as they are given enough money, they are willing to give up their lives. Moreover, they have an unknown method of information exchange within their group that is unaffected by the quantum network. Using their abilities can increase the success rate of our plan. As long as one is transported out, the virus can be infinitely replicated! "
Kepel the Fifth was very satisfied with the results of his subordinate's work.
All the major organizations had studied the characteristics of the players and had more or less concluded some rules. The Kepel Financial Group was no exception. They had grasped some simple ways to make use of the players.
Currently, the Ancient Star Desert was sealed, and the various gray organizations could be thoroughly investigated by advanced civilizations at any time. The Kepel Financial Group had decided to transfer their assets to the outside world and destroy evidence of their gray businesses. Therefore, they wanted to transport the Virtual Mutiny Virus and other weapons out of the Star Field.
