After sending off the expedition team, Han Xiao stood at the dock for a while. This time, Guzar, who was wearing a tall emperor's suit, walked over from behind and stood side by side.
Guzar, who had a long beard and looked like Zhang Fei, took out a thick red cigarette from his shirt pocket. He rubbed it with his finger and lit the cigarette. He took a deep breath and exhaled a puff of green smoke. He smacked his lips and said, "That's right.
He smacked his lips and said, "This is only the first batch. There will be a second and third expedition team in the future. The depths of the secondary dimensions are unpredictable. I hope the main body of the World Tree you mentioned really exists. Don't let the sacrifices die for nothing."
"Don't be too pessimistic. Maybe it'll be more dangerous than dangerous," Han Xiao replied casually.
Guzar did not comment. He took out another cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Han Xiao. "It's a premium product specially provided by the dynasty's upper echelons. You can't buy it on the market. Try it?"
"I don't smoke anymore." Han Xiao waved his hand and rejected.
"Is that so?" Guzar put away the cigarette, shook his head, and said, "Speaking of which, I've never heard of you having any hobbies. Don't you Mechanics have any entertainment needs?"
"Smoking and drinking are not as fun as robots." Han Xiao glanced at him. "Just say what you want."
"Can't I talk to you if I don't have anything?" Guzar shrugged.
Although Black Star had beaten them up not long ago, both sides had made peace. Fighting before the battle was official business, and there was no grudge between them.
Most Beyond Grade As admired the strong, and the direct descendants of the three Universal Civilizations were no exception. They all had a certain level of respect for Black Star's achievements and abilities.
"Next time. I'm quite busy." Han Xiao patted Guzar's shoulder.
Guzar sighed and said, "Alright, I'm here to tell you that His Excellency the Ruler is waiting for you online. He wants to talk to you about something."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Han Xiao turned around and walked into the dynasty's outpost base. He went to the private communication room and answered Marbruce's call.
"Ruler Marbruce, what's the matter?"
"Our exploration has made some progress. The probes have collected the exact coordinates, and the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device can already reach the territory of the World Tree Civilization. However, we have no intention of sending troops for the time being."
Han Xiao nodded.
The Radiant Federation's Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device had extremely high strategic value and was very useful. It was necessary to use it here.
Unfortunately, the three Universal Civilizations only allowed him to interfere in limited areas. Most of them only treated him as a consultant and did not allow him to use the World Tree channel to send anything.
"What can I do for you?"
"We plan to bury some detection equipment and strategic killing weapons in the uninhabited areas. For this, we need more information, such as the star map of the other side and the division of forces … It's inefficient for us to slowly detect these things, and as the detection range expands, the risk of encountering the World Tree Civilization will increase."
"So?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Marbruce pondered and said, "We plan to try to connect to the other party's network after the preparations are done and steal some superficial information, so we're here to ask for your opinion."
Han Xiao thought for a while and said, "If it's just superficial information, as long as we enter from an unimportant terminal node, do a good job of disguising the data and erasing the traces, and let the Beyond Grade As analyze the other party's network coding language first, the risk will be controlled."
This was not invading the other party's network but browsing the network information with an alias, so the difficulty was not high.
The World Tree Civilization also had a communication system in the form of a quantum network, which was basically the standard of advanced civilizations. However, the cornerstone of the communication method was not the quantum network but a mental network called the 'Treetop Connection' that the World Tree came with. However, the latter was too transparent and monotonous, not as diverse as the quantum network.
"Then let the Beyond Grade A Mechanic take the lead and supplement the computing power of the main artificial intelligence to collect the superficial information of the other party's network. When the time comes, the information obtained will be shared with you."
After chatting for a while, Marbruce hung up the communication, mainly to inform Han Xiao of the exploration plan.
Han Xiao put down the communicator and curled his lips.
"Other than the secondary dimension expeditionary army, they won't let me interfere in any other exploration work. It seems like they are still on guard …"
The current situation was far from the stage of unity in his previous life. Although it was not to the extent of scheming against each other, they could not completely trust each other like in his previous life and cooperate without any worries.
…
After leaving the dynasty outpost and returning to the army base, Han Xiao summoned Philip and issued a special summoning order to the hundreds of Beyond Grade A seeds in the army.
Because the three Universal Civilizations strictly controlled the World Tree channel, he could not make many preparations at the moment. Other than increasing the Void God's Trait Transformation and making the production line explode all day long, he could only wait for the players to become rich and slowly provide him with EXP.
Therefore, he planned to use the advantage of the interface to give the hundreds of Beyond Grade A seeds who had transferred to the army a year ago a long-term special training, hoping that a new Beyond Grade A would be born from this group of people and strengthen the high-end strength of the association.
After sending the message, Han Xiao left the room and walked around the base for a while before suddenly bumping into Jenny.
Han Xiao could not help but stop and ask in confusion, "Ames has already returned to Floating Dragon Island. Why are you still here?"
Jenny crossed her arms and snorted. "It wasn't easy for me to get a holiday because of the refuge. I don't want to go back so quickly to work overtime. Let Ames take care of things herself. I happen to have some free time."
Han Xiao understood.
"So you've rested well. No wonder your hairline has recovered a little. I almost didn't recognize you."
"You don't have to say it if you don't know how to speak. No one will treat you as a mute."
Jenny rolled her eyes.
"Then rest well at my place. However, if Ames comes to ask me for someone, don't expect me to help you."
Han Xiao shook his head, smiled, and walked past him.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Jenny behind him speak again. This time, her tone was a little hesitant.
"Erm … I haven't seen Harrison in a while. I sent him a message, but he didn't reply. Where did he go?"
Han Xiao turned around and looked at her, a little surprised.
"The two of you really hooked up? I thought you rejected him. Looks like you're the same as Ames, the honest type. "
"Bullsh * t!" Jenny was furious. "There's nothing between me and that annoying guy! I was just curious! "
Han Xiao did not believe her at all. He casually said, "He went on a secret mission. You probably won't see him for a long time."
"Secret mission?" Jenny hesitated for a moment. "Is it dangerous?"
"Of course," Han Xiao replied rather straightforwardly.
Jenny choked. After hesitating for two seconds, she softly said, "Then help me tell him …"
"Tell him what?"
Han Xiao immediately became alert.
Stupid sister, be careful. Don't raise a flag so casually and lower Harrison's survival rate.
Jenny gritted her teeth, turned her head, and stubbornly said, "Ask him when he's going to pay me back the money he owes me."
"Tsk, you don't mean what you say." Han Xiao mercilessly exposed Jenny.
"Forget it if you don't want to help me ask!" Jenny flew into a rage out of humiliation.
"I'll ask him … but I might not be able to contact him now. Let's talk about it another time."
Han Xiao waved his hands, turned around, and left.
When he turned the corner, he turned his head to take a look and saw that Jenny was still standing in the same place with a disappointed expression on her face.
"Tsk, and you say there's nothing going on."
Han Xiao smacked his lips. Just as he was about to leave, Philip suddenly jumped out with a surprised expression.
"Master, hum, another army officer has become a Beyond Grade A, hum!"
"Hmm? Let me see! "
Han Xiao was overjoyed and immediately switched to the surveillance interface.
In the image, a figure burning with Pugilist flames was sitting cross-legged in space like a small star. It was Lothaire, who had been in seclusion for decades.
"After holding it in for so long, this guy finally gave birth … Ptui, he advanced."
Han Xiao was greatly relieved.
Originally, he thought that Lothaire would still need a few more years to complete the transformation, but he did not expect him to break through this boundary so quickly … Did he see how I defeated the three Universal Civilizations and feel inspired?
Immediately switching to the King, Han Xiao teleported to Lothaire's personal dojo. As soon as he looked up, he saw Lothaire, who was completing the last step of his evolution.
Han Xiao summoned his mechanical army and set up energy shielding devices around him.
After waiting for a while, the Pugilist flames on Lothaire's body slowly retracted, almost like a solid crystal. Just by looking at it, one could feel an oppressive sharpness.
The attributes of a Pugilist's energy were varied, and Lothaire's core energy attributes were 'Sharp' and 'Armor Piercing', mainly for lethality.
Lothaire opened his eyes, looked around, and immediately saw Han Xiao. He quickly flew down and landed in front of Han Xiao.
"Your Excellency Black Star, I did not disappoint you."
Lothaire's attitude was still respectful, not losing himself because of the sudden increase in strength.
Han Xiao squeezed his shoulder, smiled, and said, "You're already a Beyond Grade A, so it's fine to address you as an equal. What do you think? Do you want to start your own organization?"
"I'm still willing to be the blade in your shadow. If not for your nurturing, I wouldn't have what I have today." Lothaire shook his head, still using the honorific.
Beyond Grade As usually would not continue to be subordinates, but Lothaire had thoughts of repaying his debt. Furthermore, the Black Star Corps was also an exception, and there were already two Beyond Grade As in it. With the previous example, the latecomers would be more accepting.
"Don't belittle yourself. I helped you because you have potential."
As Han Xiao spoke, he punched Lothaire's chest, making a dull thud.
Lothaire could not help but take a step back, rubbing his aching chest.
Seeing this, Han Xiao shook his head. "You have to continue training your physique. You're still too weak now … In the eyes of ordinary people, Beyond Grade A is already the peak, but in the eyes of veterans like us, this is just the beginning. You've just stepped into this threshold, and there's still a lot to train. I can fight dozens of new Beyond Grade As like you."
"I've seen the live broadcast of your confrontation with the three Universal Civilizations. I have no doubts about that."
Lothaire nodded. He was also impressed by Han Xiao's performance back then, and his heart was filled with respect.
"Since you've become a Beyond Grade A, I'll give you a gift. I'll get you a Universal Treasure weapon in a while. What type do you want? If you don't want mechanical equipment, I can also ask a Mage to create an enchanted equipment for you, "Han Xiao said.
Lothaire thought for a while. "A pair of daggers will do."
"Alright, after you've thought about it, send me your specific requirements, and I'll customize them for you."
Han Xiao smiled and suddenly changed the topic.
"By the way, speaking of which, I have a mission for you."
"Where to? Who to kill? How long will it last? "
Lothaire immediately became serious, showing his professionalism.
"Sigh, don't always fight and kill. It's not good." Han Xiao coughed and said, "There's a Pugilist genius with extraordinary potential who's receiving special training here. He already has a Beyond Grade A as his teacher. I hope you can train him for a while and pass on your experience to him."
Carrott's bottlenecks were all in the early stages, and he could only level up quickly by accumulating insights. Different experts provided different insights, and Yin Ying was almost squeezed dry. The freshly minted Lothaire was like a leek field that had yet to be harvested, a new tool.
"Alright, I'll do my best to teach him."
Lothaire nodded, but he was also curious.
A Pugilist genius who could make the Army Commander specifically find a Beyond Grade A as his teacher, how shocking was his potential?
…
This was a bluish-green space. The ground was made up of bluish-green tree roots that were intertwined with each other. The ground was translucent, and one could see energy bubbles flowing within the roots. It was filled with a verdant vitality.
In the center of the space, a large number of roots rose up, forming a huge throne. A tall figure sat on it with his eyes closed as if he was in a deep sleep. Vine-like roots crawled all over his body, and blue and green fluorescent lights flowed around his body, making him look like lively little fairies.
Suddenly, this figure trembled slightly and slowly opened his eyes. He raised his hand and gently patted the armrest of the seat.
In the next moment, the roots on the ground moved on their own. They intertwined with each other and transformed into a flower bud. Then, the flower bud opened and a tall figure appeared out of thin air. She was dressed in a gorgeous robe and walked out from inside.
As soon as he appeared, this tall figure bowed strangely to the figure on the throne and said in a low voice,
"What orders do you have?"
Hearing this, the figure on the throne leaned forward slightly and slowly said, "The Information Network has detected an abnormal network.
"There is an abnormal reaction in the Information Form Alert Network. There might be an unknown information collection that has interacted with us. Perhaps someone is spying on us. Go and investigate."
"Understood, Your Excellency Tree King."
