Flickering World, Black Star Corps Territory.
With the development of the Star Field, more and more galactic residents flooded into the Flickering World. All kinds of industries were rapidly perfected, and a large number of planets were transformed into transit stations or tourist destinations.
As the entrance to the army's territory and one of the top ten stargates in the Flickering World, Planet Black Gate received an astonishing amount of traffic every day. Countless entertainment facilities were built on the planet's surface, mixing day and night. It was bustling with activity at all times, and guests from various Star Fields and races could be seen there.
Murickel Street was a famous entertainment street. Casinos, taverns, shops, tall buildings, bright lights, and a sea of people, flowing in an endless stream.
"I haven't been here for a while. This place is getting more and more prosperous."
Maple Moon pulled Mad Blade along as they walked on the busy street, looking left and right curiously at the strange passersby.
When the passersby saw the Black Star Corps Advanced Warrior insignia on the two of them, their eyes filled with respect as they quietly made a detour. On the bustling street, a small space was squeezed out between the two of them.
"Stop strolling, we're here to hand in the mission," Mad Blade said helplessly.
At this time, a huge screen on the wall of a building in the distance lit up, showing a news image. The passersby in the nearby streets could see it clearly.
"Now, we have urgent news. The Radiant Federation, the Red Empire, and the Arcane Church have jointly announced an announcement to report the progress of the Intelligent Plague control to the entire universe. The following is the news content …"
Hearing the news about the Ancient Star Desert after so many days, the pedestrians on the street suddenly stopped as if they had pressed the freeze button. They all looked up and watched.
Mad Blade and Maple Moon also stopped and looked at the screen curiously.
On the huge screen was a diplomatic press conference. The spokespersons of the three Universal Civilizations stood side by side and read the announcement aloud.
"A few months after the Intelligent Plague broke out, we controlled the disaster in the Ancient Star Desert and carried out a special relief operation. Therefore, this matter is closely related to the safety of the entire universe and has received a lot of attention from all walks of life. Therefore, today, we are making a special report to announce the progress of the Intelligent Plague control.
"The Virtual Mutiny Virus is a highly dangerous information and data virus. It can rewrite the underlying logic of mechanical artificial intelligence and turn it into an organic lifeform. It has astonishing penetration, transmission, and threat. This is a lost information warfare weapon. We thought the threat came from the virus itself, but now we know that the virus core is the real threat … "
The spokesperson explained the mechanism of the virus core, emphasizing the danger of self-evolution and self-renewal. He used very exaggerated words to describe the consequences of the disaster.
Hearing this, the passers-by who stopped to watch on the street shuddered.
Due to the information blockade, the galactic residents only knew a little about the mechanism of the Virtual Mutiny Virus. Now that they knew the true terror of the Virtual Mutiny Virus, they could not help but feel a wave of panic. They were shocked by the lethality of this virus.
At this moment, the spokesperson changed the topic and said,
"If it weren't for Black Star discovering the threat of the virus core, we would still be in the dark. Through artificial intelligence simulation, the anti-virus plan we made without knowing had a success rate of less than 0.1%. In the end, it was very likely that we wouldn't be able to stop the virus from leaking, causing a disaster to sweep across the entire universe. Countless creatures would die in the disaster, and the galactic society would regress by many eras.
Black Star's discovery allowed us to avoid this outcome. His contribution was huge, saving countless lives. "
Many people heaved a sigh of relief, secretly feeling scared. They were glad that Black Star had turned the tide.
The spokesperson continued.
"Because of Black Star's information, we planned an operation to cut off the Internet in the entire Star Field and hunt down the virus core. Everything was going smoothly, but when we caught the virus core, there were some twists and turns …
The virus core was captured by the Mecha Empire Manison, but he did not care about the safety of the universe and refused to hand it over. He tried to reverse engineer the complete technology. "In order to maintain the peace of the universe, Black Star seized the virus core and destroyed it, completely eliminating this technology, eliminating the possibility of the Virtual Mutiny Virus appearing again, allowing the entire universe to escape the shadow of this disaster forever.
"However, the Mecha Empire was unwilling to admit defeat and attacked Black Star. The two of them fought to a draw, and in the end, they were forced to retreat by Black Star."
Frenzied Sword and Maple Moon heard a commotion among the people around them, and they let out low murmurs.
This speech first mentioned the accident of the operation, causing the audience to worry. Then, it made a contrast between the actions of the Mecha Empire and Black Star. It purposely promoted that Han Xiao's actions had protected the galactic residents, implanting the image of Black Star's boundless love in the hearts of the audience, making the galactic residents thank Black Star for his contribution.
In contrast, the Mecha Empire was portrayed as a selfish and ambitious person who did not care about the big picture. Because it went against the common interests of the galactic residents, it was innately treated as a villain, and its image was tarnished.
The spokesperson summarized the entire process and said loudly, "The current stage of the Intelligent Mutiny Virus is at its end.
The disaster is already under control, and it will be completely cleared in a few days. The seal on the Ancient Star Desert will be unlocked. "In this incident, Black Star's contribution is irreplaceable. The three of us have discussed and decided to jointly give Black Star the title of Special Security Advisor of the three Universal Civilizations as a reward."
Special Security Advisor of the three Universal Civilizations?
Mad Blade and Maple Moon looked at each other, secretly surprised.
Didn't Radiance and Ethereal have conflicts with the Black Star Corps? Now, they have become friends and have been successfully taken down by the Army Commander.
Doesn't that mean we have two more powerful legs?
The news ended everywhere, and the enthusiasm of the people had just been aroused. Everyone was discussing, and the streets were buzzing with noise.
"It's all thanks to His Excellency Black Star. He's really a great person."
"Among all the Beyond Grade As, only Black Star is working for the well-being of us ordinary people. For example, the Holy Light Emissary Cultivation Plan gave ordinary people a chance to become Supers. Now, for the safety of ordinary people, he resolutely destroyed this virus technology, even going to war with the Mecha Empire. He's really full of love. If I were a girl, I might have fallen in love with him."
"Sigh, I didn't expect Manison of the Mecha Empire to be such a person. To think that I used to worship him."
"With such a huge contribution, no wonder the three Universal Civilizations invited Black Star to be their advisor. I don't think anyone has received such an honor before."
"To be honest, other than Black Star, I can't think of anyone else who's qualified to take on this position."
At this time, cheers suddenly sounded from the street next door. Someone ran over and said with surprise, "Follow me.
"Quick, follow me over there. There are a few rich merchants who have booked the entire tavern. They said that in order to thank Black Star for his contributions, they have booked the entire tavern, and the drinks will be free. Let's hurry over."
Hearing this, the passersby on Murickel Street swarmed over. When they passed by Frenzied Sword and Maple Moon, they no longer tried to avoid them. Instead, their attitude became extremely warm, and they used all kinds of strange etiquettes to express their respect for the Black Star Army.
Feeling the warm atmosphere on the street, Mad Blade and Maple Moon felt a sense of pride in their hearts. They felt that they shared the honor, and a strong sense of belonging to the same faction surged in their hearts.
The two of them hurriedly logged into the forums. As expected, the forums were already in an uproar, and the news section was flooded.
The Army Commander had disappeared for a few months, and the moment he reappeared, he made big news. The three Universal Civilizations exaggerated it to the point that they were just short of saying that Black Star was their savior. The players were also extremely excited.
Glory Tomahawk: Hmm, so we're on the same side?
Cloud Dragon Li: Second Battalion Commander, bring out my spaghetti for Black Star to try!
Leng Huijun: Be reasonable, the Army Commander is very handsome this time.
Picture Album Sister: Black Star is still the same Black Star. He never disappoints us.
Fox: Where's Galaxy Times? Come out and get beaten up. Where's the promised mission? Why did it turn into a cutscene CG!
Visionary: Am I the only one who's concerned about whether the Army Commander and the Mecha Empire are tied …
Looking at the posts that flooded the screen, most of them were full of praise. Some veteran players told the newcomers about Black Star's past deeds, such as solving the Mutation Disaster, wiping out the Dark-star organization, and so on. All of these had caused a sensation back then.
After a few versions, in the eyes of the players, Han Xiao's image was still considered righteous. However, this achievement once again raised the players' impression of him, and a consensus was formed.
Black Star was indeed a great man!
Other than interests and interests, if the leader of a faction had charisma, the players would have a stronger sense of identity.
…
As soon as the three Universal Civilizations' announcement came out, everyone in the universe who was paying attention to the progress of the Intelligent Plague was relieved.
This achievement caused Han Xiao's reputation to soar to the peak, while the Mecha Empire's reputation suffered under the deliberate suppression.
At the same time, Han Xiao's fleet was leaving the Ancient Star Desert through the dynasty's military stargate. He also saw the official announcement from the three Universal Civilizations.
"Tsk tsk, the publicity department of the three Universal Civilizations sure knows how to praise and trample on one."
Han Xiao happily watched the news. He loved to see people praising him seriously.
This time, he suddenly had an idea. He opened the interface and took a look.
The three Universal Civilizations' elimination of the first-generation Virtual Mutiny Virus was basically completed, and only the last bit was left. When the announcement was made, the [Intelligent Plague] mission was finally notified that it had been completed.
"This mission is finally completed."

Dungeon Spawning: [Intelligent Plague (Simulated Disaster)]
Han Xiao nodded.
Seeing this, the reward was still within his expectations.
After all, this was a Grade S mission in the universe, and he had even achieved a Perfect rating. The reward was definitely generous.
However, as he continued reading, Han Xiao was stunned, and his heart was in turmoil.
Since your rating has reached Grade S, you have received an additional reward.
You have received a new ability [Blueprint — Domino Virus (Incomplete)]!
You have completed the special requirement: Destroy the virus core with your own hands.
Generating a related talent. Generating … Generation complete.
You have received a new talent [Virtual Purification-Restoration]!
"What?!"
Han Xiao's eyes widened as he stared blankly at the [Blueprint — Domino Virus (Incomplete)] lying quietly in the reward column.
This was not an additional reward for the special requirement but a normal reward given when the Grade S mission, [Intelligent Plague], reached the highest rating. This meant that only those who had made great contributions to the disaster relief could receive this reward.
After solving the Intelligent Plague so painstakingly, the mission gave him an incomplete blueprint of the virus technology and asked him to recreate it …
He suddenly felt a great sense of irony.
"I didn't expect that after going around in circles, this technology still wasn't destroyed and ended up in my hands … although it's incomplete."
Browsing through the contents of this blueprint, Han Xiao's expression was complicated. He did not know whether he should be happy or not.
