"Don't forget to return it," Han Xiao joked.
Every time Bennett owed him a favor, his Favorability would increase. Having a good relationship with one of the main characters of the planet would be of great help.
The hidden storyline this time was obviously one of the hidden benefits. One had to know that Bennett's network was huge. Through Bennett alone, he could reach many people, and they were all powerful people. These people all had some good missions that could be triggered.
After waiting for a while, Bennett transferred Hannes' call.
Kacha.
After the call was connected, both of them were silent. They could only hear each other's breathing.
Hannes spoke first. "I'm Hannes. We've met once, last night."
"Bennett told me. I heard that you need my help. What's the matter?" Han Xiao went straight to the point.
"It's about a secret that was buried in the dust of history. We found some clues, and I want to dig up this secret."
Han Xiao was confused. He did not know what the secret was.
You have triggered Blue Star Hidden Main Storyline Grade A Mission [New Era — Origin].
Han Xiao's eyes widened.
"A main storyline mission that no one has triggered before!"
Blue Star had three main storylines. Two of the main storylines were the war between the Six Nations and the Germinal Organization, and the construction of the sanctuary. The hidden main storyline was discovered by the players, but it was not him who triggered this mission!
He had no impression of it at all. This meant that no players had triggered it in his previous life!
The hidden main storyline was a special type of mission. It required an opportunity to trigger, and it would affect the main storyline and faction environment, causing changes to the storyline. After playing so many versions in his previous life, Han Xiao had seen the hidden main storyline shared on the forums.
Without exception, all of them had special effects on different civilizations and different planets.
"The first time Hannes and the others appeared in front of the players, they were already dead. No wonder no one triggered it."
Han Xiaoxin shuddered. Even two Blue Star Pinnacle Level 60 characters had died. The difficulty of this mission was probably beyond his expectations. The waters within were unfathomable.
The Grade A mission that he had given to deal with the Germinal Organization, [Dust of the Fallen Seeds], was a branch of the main mission. The main mission that players received from different factions had different requirements. Naturally, the Six Nations' mission was to destroy the Germinal Organization, but the Germinal Organization's mission was the opposite.
Han Xiao's mission was special because he did not belong to any faction, but he was an enemy of the Germinal Organization. Therefore, the requirements and details were different, but the general goal was the same.
As for this hidden main storyline mission, he knew nothing about it.
Origin? Could it be that he wanted to trace the history of the planet? But, which event was this traced back to?
The unknown made people fearful, but at the same time, it also made people curious. Han Xiao felt a tingling sensation in his bones. This was a feeling of excitement, anticipation, and excitement.
He had always been a hardcore player of Galaxy who liked to discover the hidden elements. It was a secret that none of the players in his previous life had discovered!
"Accept."
You have accepted [New Era — Origin].
+ 10 Hannes Favorability, + 10 Vernina Favorability, + 10 Gerian Favorability, + 10 Jiang Yuan Favorability.
"Hmm?" Han Xiao was stunned.
He knew who Jiang Yuan was. He was one of the names of the three tombstones, but who was this Gerian?
Talk to Hannes and listen to his introduction.
The mission requirement was only this for now. Han Xiao was not surprised. This was similar to the 'cutscene' when starting a mission.
"It's related to our attempt to kidnap Dorasi last night. He was personally involved in a secret plan back then, and this secret plan of Maple is one of the clues. Maple is a country with many secrets."
"When you infiltrated the official's mansion, did you find it strange? Why were these officials protected twenty-four hours a day, but other countries did not have such a situation?"
Han Xiao nodded. "I know about this. It was the Ulric attack case many years ago."
"Yes, the Ulric attack case …"
Hannes told Han Xiao about the past.
Ulric was the minister of Maple at that time, and his power was similar to that of the prime minister. He was attacked in his home, and the attackers were not one or two people. Instead, they were a large number of civilians who obtained weapons from unknown sources. The civilians used gunpowder weapons to raze Ulric's expensive mansion to the ground. Ulric himself, his wife, and three children around the age of ten were brutally murdered by the attackers. The whole process was recorded and posted on the internet, shocking the whole country and even the world.
The reason was that Ulric passed a bill that removed some of the original rights and benefits of the civilians and used the funds for a very ridiculous project. In reality, it was Ulric's way of filling his own pockets.
The corruption of the Maple officials was well known throughout the world. However, before the war broke out in the Old Era, Maple was known to be a gentle government. It was not a strong country.
When the war broke out in the Old Era, the government implemented a high-pressure austerity policy. Most people expressed their understanding and tolerated the high-pressure management for the continuation of the country. Some even took the initiative to contribute. However, the Maple officials got a taste of the benefits. In addition to the pressure of the country's power after the war, they did not return to the previous relaxed system after the war ended. They continued to squeeze the civilians from all aspects, such as taxes and labor, to replenish the country's power. Therefore, the internal conflicts became more and more intense, and the once gentle social environment was gone forever.
The people who did not live as they wished were like springs that were pressed to the bottom. Their hearts were filled with thick dark clouds, and a thunderstorm was brewing. The bill passed by Ulric became the fuse that ignited the public's resentment.
Thirty-one minutes after Ulric was attacked, the special forces received the order to kill all civilians who participated in the attack without mercy. The whole country was in an uproar, and this was the beginning of a storm in Maple.
If it was before the war in the Old Era, this would be a huge scandal that could cause the collapse of the government. However, in the new era where power was not regulated, the other five countries did not have any intention of interfering.
After the war, everyone in the world was in danger. There were no more human rights organizations and power alliances like before.
The structure of the world changed, and the balance was broken. The economic system almost collapsed, and resources and military power became the only standard to judge a country's power. Maple felt that the public's opinion was no longer important, and there was no need to serve the people like before. Now was the time for the people to serve the country. Coincidentally, there were many things waiting to be done after the war in the Old Era, so it was a good chance to change the structure of the country. Therefore, they chose a radical approach.
The attack that shocked the whole country was a wake-up call for the Maple officials, and they decided to take back the 'weapons' in the hands of the civilians. The Maple officials had never been so united before. They passed twenty-four strict laws in two days with extremely high efficiency. The lightest law was to protect the officials 24/7. There was even a crazy law that required people to be categorized into different classes, and there was a law that required people to be removed from the big cities on a regular basis.
Therefore, the trial of the attack took a strange route. The Maple government publicly stated that the attackers were not normal civilians. There was a secret reactionary organization in the country that planned this attack, and the source of their firearms was the best evidence.
