Players from Green Valley Village took screenshots and showed off Black Phantom's arrival on the forums, which led to another round of heated discussions.
"It was Big Horn Village before, and now it's Green Valley Village. Will he go to the next novice location?"
"Is this high-level character arranged by the game developers? The timing of his appearance is so strange. If he's a mechanic instructor, his whereabouts are too erratic. Is he the main character of the planet as written in the official website?"
"Doesn't look like it. I think the main character of the planet should be related to the main storyline, so we won't be contacted so early. Black Phantom should be an easter egg type mysterious character that provides mechanic class advancement. Does this mean that other than Black Phantom, it is very difficult to find a mechanic class advancement opportunity? Is that why the developers let Black Phantom compensate us?"
"What the f * ck, does this mean that if you want to change your class as a mechanic, you won't get it again?"
The speculation about Han Xiao never stopped. The popularity of Big Horn Village had not yet subsided, and he was once again promoted by the players from Green Valley Village.
Han Xiao read quite a few posts with great interest and concluded that there were a few types of players' opinions of him.
The first thought was that he was a mysterious businessman who appeared in the early stages to give benefits to the new players. This thought was supported by the most people.
The second thought was that he was a mechanic instructor.
The third thought was that he was an important storyline character who could trigger important missions. Because of this, Han Xiao had to deal with a bunch of players who wanted to trigger hidden missions every day. Maple Moon's example was exposed on the forums. The players all thought that as long as they showed hostility to the Germinal Organization, they could trigger his' hidden mission '.
These people had all kinds of weird lines, and Han Xiao naturally rejected all of them. There were even players who thought that they were handsome (and had high Charisma) and tried to take the Great Mechanic Han down with their looks. This was especially so for the female players. The leader of Sky Territory, Jade Green Sky, had once posted that women would have a favorable impression of Black Phantom, which caused Han Xiao to be surrounded by soft, gentle, and beautiful women.
Han Xiao was indifferent to this.
Do you think you don't have to pay just because you are good-looking? How naive!
There were also some players who were very arrogant and actually tried to attack him. Han Xiao maintained the attitude of a doctor who violently corrected all diseases. As long as such players revived, Han Xiao would kill them. The game only refreshed the number of deaths every six days. This was the resurrection mechanism or the anti-addiction mechanism. Players who dared to attack were directly forced to go offline.
This kind of lawless player in the game was obviously used to playing standalone games that could save and load files. When other people played online games, they would carefully and steadily develop, afraid that they would waste their account. Who would dare to be so rampant? No one sympathized with the players who were courting death. Old Rollie had been around for more than ten generations, and there would always be fearless chicken-killing maniacs who would challenge the entire world. He was used to it.
Players lined up one after another to pay. Quite a number of players were attracted by Han Xiao's display of Mechanic class strength, but because the requirement this time was to directly give a gift, some of the more rational and stingy players were hesitant, and the line to pay was rather sparse.
Han Xiao dealt with it casually while browsing the forum. Suddenly, a new post caught his attention. The title was' Galaxy Times'.
"This program is out!" Han Xiao's face lit up, and he felt nostalgic.
'Galaxy Times' was a semi-official program with a wide variety of content. The content was all about the official news of 'Galaxy', all kinds of interesting news, the movements of professional players, analysis of the game progress, and so on. In the past, Han Xiao was a loyal fan of 'Galaxy Times', and every time he finished reading it, he would immediately ask for more updates. Now that he had joined the program, he wondered if the content would change.
In the video, a male and a female host sat in front of the camera like a news broadcast. Behind them was the constantly changing scenes of 'Galaxy' and the scenery of various novice planets.
"Hello players," the male host said, "this is Galaxy Times, dedicated to sharing first-hand game information and escorting your gaming career."
"The open beta has been open for ten days, and the enthusiasm of the players has not decreased at all," the female host said. "Then, let us first review the major events that have happened in the past ten days …"
The first issue of 'Galaxy Times' was very detailed. The next ten minutes quickly reviewed the movements of the players in the ten days of the open beta and introduced the civilization background of each planet. Among them, there was Planet Longsong with an ancient background. Everyone wore armor and fought with cold weapons such as swords, spears, and hammers. The background was like a mixture of ancient China and the Western Middle Ages. Obviously, this planet was dominated by Pugilists and Mages. If the main storyline was given a subtitle, it would probably be 'Total War', 'World Hegemony', 'I'll Use Your Skull as a Bowl', and so on.
There was also Planet Brighton with a highly developed magic civilization. The city was like a floating island, and ninety-nine magic towers were distributed on the edge of the city, forming a resonance with the main tower in the center of the city, forming a city defense circle. Also, the shining crystal ball at the top of the tower provided magic power to make the city float. Occasionally, a dragon could be seen crossing the sky. It was very difficult for novice players to survive in this world, and it was very easy to exhaust the limit of the number of deaths.
Of course, there was an even more difficult beginning, and that was Planet Winterfrost, one of the territories of the Void Demon Race's Extinguish Army, and also the only planet where interstellar battleships could be seen. The battleships of the Void Demon Race were ferocious and flamboyant, a mixture of magic and technology. The combat power of the Void Demon Race was also off the charts, and they could even ride cosmic creatures into space for a short period of time. Their strength level was very high, and the status of the players here was even lower than cannon fodder. Fortunately, Planet Winterfrost was only a branch of the Extinguish Army, and the main storyline was not to deal with the Void Demon Race. Otherwise, the American players who chose Planet Winterfrost as their base would not even be able to walk out of the novice village.
The more resources a novice planet had, the more difficult it was to start. In comparison, Blue Star's difficulty and resources were more moderate, and its technological background was similar to reality a few decades ago. There were not many surprises, unlike other novice planets with a background where even the trash can on the street was new to the players.
However, Blue Star was very popular on the forums, and the reason was the appearance of Black Phantom. He was the first high-level character to interact with the players.
The two hosts changed the topic and talked about Black Phantom.
"The next thing is the incident that happened on Blue Star. Friends who follow the forums know that Black Phantom is the first mysterious high-level character to appear in front of the players, and the players know very little about him. Qiuqiu, what kind of role do you think he plays in the story of Blue Star? "the male host asked.
"Current intelligence shows that Black Phantom seems to have a high position. His identity is very mysterious, and he has a hostile relationship with the Germinal Organization," the female host said.
"Oh, so he belongs to the Six Nations?"
"I'm not sure." The female host shrugged. "Maybe only the developers can answer this question."
"Okay, after hearing this joke that is not funny at all, let's get back to the topic." The male host changed the topic. "Speaking of Black Phantom, he seems to be a mechanic instructor, and he can trigger hidden missions. The latest intelligence shows that Black Phantom has appeared in Green Valley Town in the Southern Continent of Blue Star. So, friends who want to change class as a mechanic should seize the opportunity. Black Phantom is by far the easiest way to obtain the knowledge to change class.
"However, there have been different opinions on the forums recently. Some players who changed class as a mechanic seem to be regretting it."
The female host pretended to be surprised. "There is such a thing?"
At this time, there was an argument in the bullet screen. Most players chose the class that they saw as strong, and when they were attracted to it and realized that the skills of the mechanic class were not as strong as they thought, they would naturally complain.
