"Blood and Tears! The Conspiracy Behind the Intelligent Plague! " :
"Emergency notice! Those black market hires to smuggle the virus are a scam! It's very likely to be the bait of the three Universal Civilizations!
I'm the player who shared the virus smuggling hires on the forums. An hour ago, I brought my guild to the edge of the Ancient Star Desert and was ambushed by the three Universal Civilizations. Black Star personally took action and wiped out our entire guild. Now, we're all sealed in the Spacetime Amber. I don't know how long it'll take for us to be unsealed. I'm probably going to be crippled.
I didn't know where the news got leaked. Luckily, Black Star thought that we had nowhere to run and felt that we couldn't leak the secret, so he revealed the plan of the three Universal Civilizations. I was really shocked. I didn't expect the three Universal Civilizations' spies to be among those anonymous hires on the black market! Their goal is to lure out those who dare to accept the mission and take them out one by one!
It's too scary. Currently, other than our guild, no one else knows about this secret. I'm posting now because I can't bear to see other brothers being scammed by the three Universal Civilizations. Therefore, I'm warning everyone not to fall into Black Star's trap! "
In order to prove that he was not lying, Depressed Prince even posted a screenshot and a video of Black Star speaking.
As soon as the post was posted, it was like a lit match was thrown into a pool of methane. The players from the Troublemakers and Order Faction all exploded.
Triple Treason: Shocking. So those black market hires are actually baiting the system? Σ (っ ° Д °;) っ]
(More Important Things to Consider: I knew it. How could those lawful factions not care about such an oversight? It turns out that they had another plan. The three Universal Civilizations are cunning and scheming (sinister and cunning). This move was played beautifully * * *
Military Chief: Black Star is indeed Black Star. Just like his name, he's really black-hearted.
Qing Ningzi: Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Where are those little biscuits who are envious of the Ancient Star Desert players? Why aren't they saying anything?
[Slay People But Not Slay Karma: In this case, the factions of this main storyline are very clear. Those who oppose the disaster will stand on the side of order, while those who support the disaster will go against the three Universal Civilizations. I really admire the courage of these players. If I don't go to hell, who will? (° °)]
The Order Faction players who were against adding fuel to the fire started to gloat. On the other hand, the players who were in favor of spreading the disaster were all shocked and speechless.
This was especially true for those players who had been tempted by the sky-high rewards and had already accepted the job on the black market. They were all shocked, and a large number of them hurriedly canceled the job, afraid that they would also be baited by the three Universal Civilizations.
[Tender Cow Eats Old Grass: Let me see who is causing trouble (Black Star Shows His Head Out Of The Bush.Jpg)]
[Army Commander's PP: Black Star: Pa, your account is gone! (Vessel #)]
[Immortal Bootlicker Society: Sigh, if it weren't for the OP, we would still be in the dark, and we would also be caught by the law enforcers … I won't say much, but the OP saved our lives. That's very loyal of you. I'll drink to show my respect.]
[Peach Full Network Senior Member: In order to get this information, the OP has sacrificed too much. Good people live a peaceful life. PS: If the OP is prepared to change his account, I can donate 100 Enas.]
[Fu Ding Support Group Ge Erpao: My condolences to the OP (^)]
[Fish Don't Piss: My condolences + 1]
[Hella's Licker No.666: Brother, I think you should stop calling yourself Depressed Prince and change it to Depressed Prince (* *;)]
It was not that no one doubted the authenticity of the post, but after seeing the screenshots and videos posted by Depressed Prince, they could only admit that it was the truth.
Melancholic Prince's post caused the majority of players to be on guard. Many of them were truly shocked, and they became paranoid. They did not want to harm Melancholy.
He thought that he had successfully destroyed the three Universal Civilizations' fishing operation and vented his anger, but in reality, his actions did not escape Han Xiao's calculations.
A pair of eyes hidden in the dark were watching the forums. Seeing that so many players believed the 'fishing operation' and rejected the missions to smuggle the virus, Han Xiao knew that his actions had worked. He could not help but smile.
Depressed … Oh, this guy had changed his name. Depressed Prince had done a good job this time, so his sentence could be reduced by a few minutes. Although this guy was still in the dark, immersed in the fantasy of venting his anger.
…
Ancient Star Desert, Planet Strange Gold.
This planet did not belong to any civilization. Many years ago, it was contracted by a few financial groups and transformed into a galactic neutral port. Later, the Galactic Black Market took over and turned it into a transit supply station for the gray organizations. It was quite famous in the Ancient Star Desert.
Traces of various wanted criminals and a large number of gray organizations could be seen here. At the same time, many gray organizations had their headquarters or branches here. Due to some tacit understanding and transactions, the galactic civilizations tacitly allowed such gray transit stations to exist and would not send guards to suppress them. Although this place was chaotic, it was not a lawless area. The large organizations in the black market would often establish order here.
The organization in charge of Planet Strange Gold was one of the black market managers, the Black Index. This was an organization of brokers.
There were many types of organizations in the black market management, such as mercenaries, arms dealers, mining teams, and so on. Among them, the one with the most power was the broker industry. They walked the path of the upper class, wandering between different civilizations, and had complicated relationships. They provided protection and guarantees for other black market organizations.
The Black Index was such an organization, and their business was even richer. They used the reputation and reputation they had accumulated over the years to provide guarantees for the employment and auctions in the black market. They also had the function of an intermediate exchange, which was basically the black market's version of a bank.
The security of funds had always been a concern of the gray organizations, and all the financial transactions of the Black Index were confidential. Countless black money flowed through them every day, radiating to the entire Galactic Black Market. One could imagine how powerful they were.
Huge power required an equal amount of strength to maintain, not to mention in the gray world where the strong preyed on the weak. The Black Index had enough funds to maintain a huge military force. At the same time, they had a Beyond Grade A protector behind them. These factors ensured that the Black Index had a very high position among the black market managers.
The upper echelons of the organization were called Indexers. The leader was the Chief Indexer, followed by the second, third, and so on. There were a total of five deputy leaders, all the way to the sixth.
At this moment, in the headquarters of the Black Index organization in Planet Strange Gold, the Third Indexer, who was in charge of the Ancient Star Desert business, was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office. He looked up at the stars in the dark sky and frowned slightly.
His adjutant, who was wearing an exquisite silver-black uniform, walked into the room and asked curiously.
"Third Indexer, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing … I just feel a little uneasy all of a sudden."
The Third Indexer raised his hand and rubbed between his eyebrows. He was a little distracted.
As a mixed-blood immortal, the Third Indexer had a special talent. His sixth sense was very sharp, and he could occasionally vaguely sense fragments of the future.
Since a few days ago, he had been constantly distracted and felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
"Then I'll go get you some medicine to calm you down first." The adjutant turned around and was about to leave.
"No need, I'm fine."
The Third Indexer stopped him, turned around, and asked casually, "Tell me.
"Tell me, what do you have to report to me?"
"It's like this …" The adjutant took out a report and said with a serious expression, "I found some rumors. It's rumored that the three Universal Civilizations are secretly spreading the black market employment on a large scale to catch the black market mercenaries."
"Where did you get this information from? The rumors on the internet? "The Third Indexer could not help but frown.
"No, no, there are no such rumors on the Ancient Star Desert's Star Field network. I heard some people talking about it in private, so I did some investigation in secret and found out that I don't know how this rumor started. I think it might be a hidden danger, so I'm here to report it to you …"
The Third Indexer shook his head. "The source of your information is unreliable and not trustworthy. As the guarantor of the black market employment, although we accept applications from anonymous employers, we will still investigate to a certain extent. This kind of fishing is destroying our reputation. We can tolerate it once or twice, but if they want to use our reputation to carry out this plan on a large scale, there's no way the organization won't notice anything. "
"You're right. I did something unnecessary." The adjutant nodded.
"You didn't do anything wrong. It's good to have such vigilance."
The Third Indexer continued to look out of the window and said earnestly,
"We're the lighthouse of order in the black market. On one hand, we rely on our powerful organization, and on the other hand, we rely on the reputation and reputation we've accumulated over the years. The criminals of the gray organizations believe in our professional integrity, which is our core competitiveness. At any time … even in the face of death, we can't break the rules of integrity, confidentiality, fairness, and safety. Otherwise, we'll damage the foundation of the organization and the order of the entire black market."
"Understood." The adjutant took note of it and admired him in his heart.
Swoosh!
As soon as he said that, a remote communication screen popped up beside the two of them, showing the panicked face of an observer.
"Not good. The radar detected a dynasty fleet approaching. They're not hiding their tracks. Their destination is Planet Strange Gold. They didn't notify us in advance!"
The Third Indexer's expression changed. His sixth sense became stronger and stronger.
Normally, the three Universal Civilizations would not visit the gray transit station so openly. Today, however, the dynasty's fleet had suddenly arrived as an uninvited guest. Clearly, they did not come with good intentions.
He immediately thought of the Intelligent Plague. Other than this, the dynasty did not seem to have any other reason to come.
However, the Third Indexer was someone who had been through a lot. He calmed down very quickly and said with a deep voice, "Ask around.
"Ask around, who is the leader of this fleet?"
The dynasty had a huge background, but he was also an important person in the galaxy with power and influence. He even had a Beyond Grade A Protector as his backer, so the Third Indexer still had the confidence to talk to the dynasty.
Thinking of this, he secretly made a decision. If the dynasty's leader did not have a high rank, he felt that there was no need to go out of his way to welcome him. He might as well wait here for the dynasty to come and talk to him.
The adjutant communicated for a while. Suddenly, he shuddered, swallowed, and said with a trembling voice.
"Third … Third Indexer, the commander of this dynasty fleet seems to be Black Star …"
As soon as he said that, the Third Indexer's expression changed drastically, and he lost his cool.
Without another word, he rushed out of the door and ordered anxiously, "Quick, quick, quick!
Prepare the vehicle for me. I'm going to the dock to welcome His Excellency Black Star! "
If it were a normal officer of the dynasty, the Third Indexer could still put on airs because of his identity.
However, the one who came was the infamous Black Star. Even the strongest protector of the black market had become his collection. How could he have the guts to stay at home and wait for Black Star to come?
…
The dynasty fleet sailed into the spaceport. As soon as Han Xiao stepped onto the dock, he saw the Third Indexer and a group of subordinates coming to welcome him respectfully.
The two of them met. Han Xiao did not bother to greet him but said that he wanted to talk about a deal. He asked the Third Indexer to lead the way to the meeting room.
Under the careful escort of the Third Indexer, the group arrived at the Black Index's planet branch and sat down in the meeting room.
After sitting down, Han Xiao looked up at the Third Indexer opposite him and said slowly, "You're a smart person.
I'm sure you know why the dynasty is here, so I won't beat around the bush with you. The Black Index provided guarantees for anonymous hires, which led to a large number of black market mercenaries smuggling the virus in the Ancient Star Desert, increasing the risk of the virus leaking. Now, on behalf of the Black Star Corps and the Red Empire, I ask you to stop providing guarantees for anonymous hires and release the information of these anonymous hires so that we can capture them more easily. "
"Impossible!" The Third Indexer rejected immediately. "This is not in line with the mission of the Black Index. We will never leak the information of our users. I …"
Han Xiao interrupted him and said with a deep tone, "Is the mission of your black market organization higher than the ruling rights of the three Universal Civilizations? Or is it that the Black Index is determined to spread the disaster and put the entire universe in danger? "
The Third Indexer hurriedly protested.
"Of course not. We've only been neutral. Before and after the outbreak of the Intelligent Plague, nothing changed. We're just maintaining this platform …"
"Don't try to brush me off like that."
Han Xiao tapped the table and slowly said, "If you don't do anything, you'll leak the virus.
"If you don't do anything, you're tacitly allowing others to leak the virus. If you don't do anything, you're adding fuel to the fire. The current situation does not allow for the existence of neutral parties. Neither I nor the three Universal Civilizations want to see anyone speculating in a serious disaster."
Hearing this, the Third Indexer's expression changed.
His bad feeling came true. He felt that Black Star was using this as an excuse to take away the black market guarantee platform that they had been operating for a long time in the Ancient Star Desert.
If it was just Black Star alone, he would not be so helpless. However, Black Star was here on orders, which meant that he had the 'imperial sword' in his hand, representing the attitude of the three Universal Civilizations.
While the Black Index's organization was spread throughout the various Star Fields, it would be a piece of cake for the three Universal Civilizations to crush it. Furthermore, the Ancient Star Desert was sealed now, so they could not get any help from the outside world.
The Third Indexer was unwilling, but he had no other choice. He could not even inform the headquarters in the Ancient Star Desert, so he could only brace himself and ask for help.
"Your Excellency Black Star, do you really have to do this? We have His Excellency Uru behind us. Like you, he's also a Beyond Grade A … "
Han Xiao was amused. "Oh, look at you. Are you trying to threaten me or something? You've got guts. Putting aside the fact that your protector can't come back, even if he does, what can you do?"
The Third Indexer clenched his teeth, glanced at the dynasty soldiers beside him, and mustered up his courage.
"I know what you're trying to do. You want to use this opportunity to infiltrate the black market and control some channels. The three Universal Civilizations have tacitly approved of your actions now, but what about after the disaster is over? They won't let you stretch your hands so far and will definitely accept your results. Therefore, what you're doing now will only benefit the three Universal Civilizations in the end. Why do you have to be so aggressive? "
"How dare you! How dare you sow discord! "
The dynasty officer beside him was enraged. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at the Third Indexer's head.
This time, Han Xiao raised his hand, signaled for the dynasty officer to put away his weapon, and said with a smile, "You don't know me.
"You don't understand me. Although I'm just a profit-seeking person, I won't stand on the wrong side when it comes to such a major issue."
The Third Indexer clenched his teeth and tried his best to provoke him.
"The three Universal Civilizations tacitly approved of you because they're using you. You're the one who offended the various black market organizations, and the three Universal Civilizations will then come and take the fruits of victory. Is the great Black Star willing to be used?"
"Hehe, it's everyone's responsibility to eliminate evil. So what if I offended you?"
Han Xiao smiled playfully.
"Furthermore, using each other is a mutual matter. It's hard to say who benefits and who loses."
He was definitely going to take the Black Indexer this time. Instead of calling it a negotiation, it was more like a notification.
The Ancient Star Desert was now an isolated island. Under the catalysis of the disaster, the hypocrisy of equality had been torn off, and the face of a dictator was completely revealed. With the three Universal Civilizations backing him up, he had nothing to worry about.
Under such circumstances, other than the galactic civilizations that were protected, the other private organizations were just food in front of the sharks. As long as they did not cooperate, they would be wiped out.
Seeing this, the Third Indexer knew that he could not go against this. It was useless to be stubborn. He immediately gave up and leaned back with a hopeless expression.
"I can't resist anyway. I'll leave all the channels of the Black Indexer in the Ancient Star Desert to you …"
Hearing this, the adjutant looked at the Third Indexer in disbelief, questioning him.
That's not what you said just now. Didn't you say that you can't destroy the reputation of the organization even if you die?
Sensing the adjutant's gaze, the Third Indexer glared back.
What, can't I brag a little?
Black Star is sitting opposite me. My life is more important. If you want to die, you die!
Only by knowing when to yield and when to stand tall can you show your true colors!
(The weather has been getting colder recently. I have a feeling that I'm going to catch a cold. _ (: 3 ∠) _)
