"Hmm, the mission only appeared now?"
On the other side, Han Xiao, who was in Black Star Palace, suddenly received a notification on the interface, which surprised and confused him.
Glancing at the mission introduction, Han Xiao accepted it without hesitation. His Favorability with the Modo Civilization had already reached the core of the planet, so there was no room for it to go any lower.
Saving Lothaire was something he was destined to do, so it was naturally a good thing to have an additional reward. He was just curious as to why the mission did not appear when he was chatting with Lothaire and only triggered when he made the necessary arrangements.
"I've made all the necessary arrangements. I wonder if I can save Lothaire."
Han Xiao shook his head.
He was not one hundred percent confident. Pessimistically, the success rate was only about ninety-five percent …
Ever since he became the consultant of the three Universal Civilizations, the Black Star Corps' branch construction had become much more convenient. They even had a branch in the Primeval Star River. Although he could not build an intelligence network in the Supercluster Civilization in that Star Field, their armed forces were not bad. Han Xiao also left a lot of mechanical soldiers there and even a King mechanical suit as insurance.
After receiving Lothaire's news, he immediately ordered his troops to sneak into Modo with the King and rescue Lothaire. As long as they could connect, Lothaire could use the King to get out of danger. As for the others in the Assassin's Society, they could only work hard on their own. However, these people were not the main target, and they did not know that the boss behind this was Black Star, so there was not much information that could be leaked.
The King mechanical suit was the Universal Treasure and equipment that Han Xiao had built the most. Although it was expensive to build, ever since he obtained [Billion Mecha Empire – Manison], the success rate of building Gold equipment had greatly increased. He had to admit that the exclusive ability of the Mecha Empire was really useful.
But the main reason was still money.
Thinking back to when he had just entered the universe, he could not wait to spend 1 Enas. Now, he could not even be bothered to look at a business that was less than 50 million Enas.
'Perhaps this is growth …'
Han Xiao thought to himself.
Although saving Lothaire was important, he did not plan to go there personally. The journey was long, and it was enough to let the local branch's mechanical army bring along the Lord's Avatar. He had already made all the arrangements, and there was nothing else he could help with.
At this moment, Han Xiao was sitting cross-legged five meters above the ground on the rooftop of the Black Star Palace's main base.
There were dozens of circular mechanical devices of various sizes floating around him. From Han Xiao's point of view, every ring had one to hundreds of stars in it. Hazy light rays rose from the rings like a layer of energy filter, sifting out specks of light from nothingness and landing on the surface of Han Xiao's body. They melted and were absorbed by his skin.
He had created this scene because he was practicing the [Dragon Emperor Star Power Absorption Technique] that Ames had given him. The circular devices beside him were training aids that he had created. They were called Star Power Converters, and they could increase the effect of a single training session.
Exhaling a breath that contained starlight, Han Xiao felt the energy flow in his body. His cells seemed to be wrapped in a layer of hazy starlight. He could not help but smack his lips in admiration.
"Tsk tsk, the effect of this Energy Training Technique is even better than Heber's Stellar Furnace Training Technique. Ames' creative ability is not bad. She really gave me a surprise."
No Super would complain about having too much energy. Even the Beyond Grade As with unlimited energy recovery would not stop training their energy. Every increase in the upper limit was a widening of their limits. Han Xiao was no exception. He had always paid attention to this aspect and often searched for various Energy Training Techniques.
Originally, among all the Energy Training Techniques, the one with the best effect was the [Heber's Stellar Furnace Training Technique], which increased the upper limit of his energy by 16,750 points. However, its position was now replaced by the [Dragon Emperor Star Power Absorption Technique].
This Energy Training Technique increased one's energy by eight hundred points, and the upper limit was eight hundred times. The effect of a single training session could increase one's energy by thirty points. In the most ideal situation, it could increase one's upper limit by close to twenty-five thousand points.
Such a good effect could definitely increase one's energy level by another level and obtain a new layer of attribute bonuses. The increase was huge!
Even with [Radiation Absorption], which could increase one's energy by just hacking, after thirty years of accumulation, it only increased one's energy by about sixteen thousand points. It did not exceed the [Dragon Emperor Star Power Absorption Technique].
However, the increase in his basic attributes was quite significant. So far, [Radiation Absorption] had accumulated a large amount of Strength, Agility, and Endurance.
Old Manison had once said that the strength of a Mechanic came from their foundation. The longer they lived, the stronger they would be. This talent was the perfect interpretation of this sentence.
After the single training session ended, Han Xiao put away the Star Power Convertor. As he went downstairs to his office, he opened the forums to take a look.
There was still some time before the date of the battle, but almost all the guild alliances had responded. The impact was obvious. The sales of the army's faction store soared, and a bunch of army players finally stopped saving money and started buying to increase their strength. Han Xiao's efficiency of receiving experience in the past few days had skyrocketed.
On the other hand, the preparations for the fourth Pro League had already begun. It had attracted a lot of attention and indirectly strengthened the players' desire to shop, giving him an assist before the end of the version.
"At this rate, not only will I be able to save enough experience to advance to level 340 by the end of Version 4.0, but I'll also have quite a lot left."
Han Xiao was quite satisfied.
This time, a blonde figure walked out from the corner in front of him. When she saw Han Xiao, she was stunned for a second. Then, she went from jogging to sprinting, dribbling the ball into Han Xiao's arms like a swallow returning to the forest.
"Uncle ~"
Aurora buried her head in Han Xiao's arms.
"How old are you already, and you're still acting like a spoiled child in front of me?" Han Xiao ruffled Aurora's hair and pushed her away.
"In front of you, I'll always be a child." Aurora giggled.
She did have the right to say that. The abundant life energy allowed her to maintain the youthful feeling of a young girl.
Han Xiao covered her head with his large hand and asked, "How's your progress?"
"I think it's pretty fast." Aurora raised her hand and released a ball of life energy. The light seemed to be a little brighter.
"Let me check."
Nanoparticles surged on Han Xiao's fingertips, forming a metal needle. He pierced it into Aurora's arm, revealing her combat information. Her attributes were displayed.
After taking a look, Han Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Ever since Aurora became the host of the Holy Light Particle, Han Xiao had hired a large number of employees to be in charge of cultivating the Holy Light Seeds for Aurora to absorb and increase her strength. The effect was very obvious.
The unique characteristic of the Life Esper Ability allowed Aurora to have no bottlenecks. As long as she accumulated enough, she would be able to advance naturally. Thus, the method of harvesting leeks with the Holy Light Particle was extremely suitable for her, allowing her to improve at a godly speed. With her current growth speed, Aurora would not need hundreds or thousands of years to advance to the Beyond Grade A realm. This time would probably be shortened by%.
"Not bad, not bad. I'm very satisfied with your progress. Keep up the good work. Now go and play." Han Xiao smiled.
"Humph, I'm doing serious things in the army, not playing. Don't always treat me like a child!" Aurora wrinkled her nose unhappily, turned around, and ran away.
Han Xiao: "???"
Just now, you said you'll always be a child, and now you're blaming me for treating you like a child. What's going on?
Women's hearts are really fickle. It's even harder to understand than Manison's Felon technology.
Han Xiao shook his head and could not be bothered to chase after her. He turned around and returned to his office.
As soon as he entered, his communicator rang. He opened it and saw that it was actually a call from Kasuyi.
Han Xiao casually sat back on the throne, leaned back lazily, and answered the call.
"Yo, Old Kasuyi, you rarely contact me. What's the matter today?"
"Let me ask you, do you have time recently?"
"Why, are you asking me out?"
"You can say that. I plan to explore a special secondary dimension and hope to find a Mechanic to form a team. It would be best if you're free."
Han Xiao's eyes flashed. He sat up a little and asked, "Why don't you look for Manison? I remember that your relationship with him is pretty good."
"He's not in a good situation recently, so it's not convenient to look for him. In comparison, you're my first choice. You're more suitable for this operation."
"Oh? Why am I more suitable? "
"Because that place is very dangerous. I need some meat shields at the front, so … you know." Kasuyi coughed dryly.
Han Xiao could not help but cluck his tongue.
No wonder you're looking for me. It turns out that you've taken a fancy to my tankiness.
What's there to hide? You can just say that you're craving my body.
"How dangerous is that secondary dimension?"
"I've never explored it, so I don't know the specifics. However, it's definitely very dangerous. Even Beyond Grade As will be threatened."
"Who else is going?"
"Just you and me. I don't want too many people to participate in this operation."
Hearing this, Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
He felt that Kasuyi's trip was definitely not as simple as an exploration, and he did not know what secret goal he had.
"That's about it. Black Star, when are you free?"
"Hmm … in a few months. You also know about the matter between Modo and me. I don't have the time to do anything else for the time being. Are you in a hurry?"
"I'm not in a hurry. I can wait for you, but don't make me wait too long."
"That's easy. If you deal with Modo together with me, I'll be free in advance," Han Xiao teased.
"Hehe, you'd better go fool someone else." Kasuyi smiled faintly, indicating that they were both smart people, so there was no need to be so flirtatious.
This time, Han Xiao changed the topic and said, "It's not a problem for me to accompany you, but you have to at least show some sincerity."
"What kind of reward do you want? As long as it's not too excessive, I can agree to it, "Kasuyi said.
"Now that you mention it so suddenly, I really don't know what to ask for … Can you make a few more requests?"
"No, just one." Kasuyi's expression did not change.
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Han Xiao shrugged. This was a favor from Kasuyi, and he did not want to waste it easily.
"Anyway, it's still early. Take your time to think about it. Just tell me when the time comes."
After reaching an agreement, Kasuyi did not delay any longer and hung up after a few words.
Han Xiao put down the communicator and pondered.
"Amazing. Even Kasuyi has to find teammates to share the risk. What's the situation in that secondary dimension? Is it really that dangerous?"
It was a pity that the mission had not been triggered yet, and he did not have any additional clues for the time being.
After thinking for a while, he still had no clue and kept this matter in his heart.
…
In the next ten days or so, the Modo Civilization searched for Lothaire without restraint. However, the progress was not smooth, and accidents happened frequently. The forces that the Red Empire left in Modo kept causing trouble, hindering the Modo Civilization's search operation both openly and secretly. However, they also lost a lot of people and were captured by Modo for interrogation.
Under such circumstances, the assassins in Modo all stopped their actions and went into hiding, afraid of being implicated. They all sighed at how bold this fellow assassin of the Modo leader was.
Being heavily pursued, Lothaire's experience played a huge role. He kept hiding his tracks, avoiding wave after wave of pursuers.
He had a lot of stealth abilities to begin with, and he also had the bonus of the Intermediate Luck Glow. Along the way, he did not encounter any danger and met up with the mechanical army that Han Xiao had snuck into Modo.
The mechanical army successfully sent the King to Lothaire. With the help of this gold equipment, he directly teleported away and was completely out of danger. He would not be found by Modo again.
However, the Modo Civilization did not know any of this. They were still chasing after him. However, a few days later, the peaceful upper echelons changed again.
Due to the death of one of the Modo leaders, one of the Three Kings was missing. The tribe that this position represented was very dissatisfied and did not want this situation to continue. Therefore, with the help of various parties, a candidate quickly took over and filled this vacancy. For the time being, the organization returned to the Three Kings.
However, this new leader seemed to have a different political view from the old two kings. He did not agree with continuing to attack the Flickering World.
On the other hand, due to various political factors and interests, the opposition seemed to have grown stronger. Marco and the other upper echelons of the original opposition who were severely investigated were all released after being cleared of suspicion. Under the protection of some political force, not only were they not punished, they were even more determined to oppose continuing to participate in the Flickering War.
The upper echelons of the Modo Civilization changed again, but this time, it was different from the public impeachment. The public did not know the truth. They only found out that the officials had been transferred very frequently during this period.
No outsiders knew what kind of political conflicts and compromises the upper echelons of the Modo Civilization had. They only knew that half a month after the assassination, the Modo Civilization publicly released the current investigation report.
The report did not mention the names of the three Universal Civilizations and the Black Star Corps. It only said that many suspects had been caught and that there had been some progress. However, it did not go into detail about what the progress was.
At the end of the report, the Modo Civilization changed the topic and said that they would suppress all the foreign terrorist organizations that claimed to be responsible for the assassination. They said that these organizations were provoking Modo's reputation and were very suspicious.
Under the Modo Civilization's manipulation, the public opinion in the country was vented toward these foreign terrorist organizations. The hatred was transferred to them.
On the other hand, the spies and mechanical troops that Han Xiao left in the Modo expeditionary army's territory noticed the other party's movements. Expeditionary army fleets sailed away one after another and disappeared from their territory.
Very soon, not only the Black Star Corps, but the three Universal Civilizations and the Supercluster Alliance also noticed this situation.
Although it was not explicitly stated, everyone could guess what happened to the Modo Civilization — the Modo expeditionary army was retreating!
The opposition forced the emperor to abdicate, the domestic situation was unstable, and there might be all kinds of traps behind the assassination. In the end, the opposition gained the upper hand and forced the two kings of Modo to compromise. They ordered the withdrawal of the expeditionary army and decided to give up on participating in the Flickering War.
Another, simpler way to put it could be summarized:
The Modo Civilization had been eliminated by Black Star!
