Black Phantom was in charge of Sanctuary Three, and some of the directors were unhappy about it. However, when they heard that Sanctuary Three was understaffed and that Han Xiao had actually gotten a tough job, they felt much better.
That was more like it. It was only fair for them to let a newbie do the hard work.
However, Bennett found the directors and announced an appointment.
"Black Phantom is my friend. He doesn't have much experience. Everyone here participated in the construction of Sanctuary One, so I will send one of the directors to go with Black Phantom and be his advisor and assistant."
The directors panicked and looked at each other secretly, hoping that it would not be them.
Going to Sanctuary Three was like being sent to the border, and they would not be able to do anything for a month. Furthermore, there was no benefit in being Black Phantom's assistant, and there was little merit in being under someone else. This job was terrible, so they might as well stay and wait for other appointments.
Although Bennett's sanctuary plan had a great intention, the directors below him did not have the same awareness as him. Instead, they saw a lot of benefits from the sanctuary plan and felt that this was a new round of power distribution. If they could become the person in charge of a sanctuary, they would definitely have more power in the future.
Bennett was well aware of the thoughts of these upper echelons, but he did not explain at all. That was because benefits would motivate the directors, and he could not expect everyone to be noble. This was within Bennett's calculations.
There were not many people that could enter Bennett's eyes, and Han Xiao was one of them. This guy was such a good friend, and he came purely to help. Occasionally, he would ask for a reward, but most of the time, it was just a joke, and he did not insist on a reward.
Bennett was not a person who valued benefits, and he found that Han Xiao had similar qualities. He felt that he had found a comrade, so naturally, they were very close.
This time, he decided to find a capable assistant for Han Xiao.
After a glance, Bennett said, "Huang Yu, you go and help Black Phantom."
This director named Huang Yu's face immediately fell. He reluctantly nodded. Seeing the other directors gloating, he felt very unhappy.
Among the directors of the Dark Net, Huang Yu was a very capable member. He was good at handling all kinds of trivial matters, and he had always been in an important position. However, this time, he was sent to be Bennett's assistant. Huang Yu was not happy, and he was unwilling, so he would not take it seriously. He had already decided that he would just deal with Black Phantom casually and pass the month as a vacation for himself.
…
The idea of shelters had also been thought of by others during the wars of the Old Era. At that time, the country was busy with war, and many people were homeless. Thus, a private group set out to build shelters, sparing no expense to save the war refugees. At first, they succeeded, sheltering tens of thousands of people.
However, due to the lack of resources, the amount of food given to the refugees was gradually limited, which made many of the refugees unhappy. Humans were insatiable animals, especially in the tense atmosphere of war, any trace of evil would be infinitely magnified. It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. They had forgotten who had helped them when they were hungry and cold. In the end, they rebelled, took over the shelter, killed the original owner, and took over the shelter.
In that chaotic situation, the story of the farmer and the snake was very common. It was not that shelters were not good, but the Old Era did not allow it. Coincidentally, the person who had built the shelter in the Old Era was Bennett's friend. Bennett had never given up on this idea, and now he felt that it was time.
Han Xiao was familiar with the storyline. He knew that Bennett's shelter plan was successful, and it gradually snowballed. Even the people in the city were willing to live in the shelter, and it almost had the trend of establishing a country. This caused the Six Nations to be vigilant. If it was not for the [Mutation Disaster] in Version 2.0, the shelter would have been the enemy of the Six Nations.
The real use of the shelter was in Version 2.0, and it was only then that it truly lived up to its name.
"I'm now the person in charge of Shelter Three. This is a real large-scale main storyline. I don't have enough manpower, but I still have the players …"
Han Xiao already had an idea on how to complete the [Shelter] mission.
A helicopter landed in Shelter One, and Mad Blade, Angry Sword, and Pork Bun Hit Dog got off the helicopter. They looked around curiously, and when they saw Han Xiao, they were immediately overjoyed and jogged over.
Mad Blade Angry Sword had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but when he saw Hao Tian standing at the side, he swallowed all his words and said in shock, "Great God Hao Tian?"
Haotian glanced at him coldly and did not bother to say a word.
"Wow, Great God!" Pork Bun Hit Dog's eyes widened. "You also triggered the hidden storyline?"
"…" Hao Tian turned around and did not answer.
The Great God is so cold. Pork Bun Hit Dog was speechless. As expected, Mad Blade Angry Sword was better.
At this time, Bear Cub, who was circling Han Xiao, suddenly barked twice.
Hao Tian took a step forward, as quiet as a virgin and as agile as a rabbit. He picked up Bear Cub and took out a tissue from his bag with a serious face.
The two of them suddenly understood why Hao Tian did not want to speak. They quietly took a few steps back. The smell was pungent …
Seeing Hao Tian's emotionless expression and professional actions, Mad Blade was in awe. "As expected of a Great God, your expression did not change at all."
It was the first time the players met, and Han Xiao felt that it was very harmonious.
He looked at Pork Bun Hit Dog. He could use this' reporter 'for the next thing.
…
Three days later …
"Congratulations to player [White-Mask] for completing his first advancement!"
All the players received a notification on the interface. The first player on the level ranking board had reached level 21. White Mask was a foreign player, and he shared the changes of the advancement on the forum.
The Blue Star players were shocked to find that the advancement had automatically awakened the Energy Training Technique!
At first, everyone had doubts, but as more and more people advanced, it was confirmed that this skill was a skill that everyone would definitely awaken.
The Blue Star players were confused. The skill that they had spent EXP to learn was actually a skill that was automatically learned after the advancement.
Was it a loss?
Many players did not think so. Learning an advanced skill in advance did not seem to be a bad thing. After all, this was a growth skill, and the effect was very good. At low levels, it could greatly increase one's combat power. It was still very useful for players like them.
The real losers were the players from the North Continent who had only learned it at level 18 or 19. They were about to advance, but they had spent a lot of money and lost everything. They wanted to cry but had no tears.
The players from the South Continent who had been depressed for a long time suddenly realized that they were not the unluckiest ones. They immediately became energetic.
Although they knew the truth about the Energy Training Technique, many low-level players felt that learning the skill in advance was worth it.
Therefore, many players from Andrea were still waiting for Han Xiao's arrival, but what they waited for was a bolt from the blue.
Black Phantom had returned to the South Continent!
He was not coming to Andrea!
When Han Xiao went to the North Continent and the West Continent, the players from Andrea were full of hope that they would be the last to arrive, but the truth was too cruel. Han Xiao was not coming at all.
The hope in their hearts was dashed, and the contrast made the players from Andrea break down.
The discussion on the Blue Star forum was in full swing, and even foreign players from other novice planets joined in. Andrea was completely a bystander this time. They felt that no one was bringing them along to play, and the sadness was like a lonely and bleak wind blowing in their hearts.
The public beta had been open for almost two months, and the average level of the earliest batch of players was close to level 20. More and more new players were entering the game, and the total number of Blue Star players was in the hundreds of thousands, and it was still rising. The high-level players started to get involved in the story of the various planets, digging into the history and environment of the world to participate in the main storyline.
It was the same for Blue Star. More and more players were recruited by the Six Nations as special forces. From the NPCs, the players found out that the Six Nations' expedition against the Germinal Organization was about to begin.
However, the interface showed that their level had not reached the prerequisite to activate the expedition mission, which meant that even if they followed the troops to participate in the expedition, most of them would not get the mission reward.
Most importantly, the players would be slaughtered effortlessly if they went up against an army with their current strength.
This was naturally the effect of Han Xiao bringing the main storyline forward. The players lost the transition period and directly participated in the war.
It was worth mentioning that the various organizations in Blue Star finally realized that there was a limit to the number of times the players could revive. This made those organizations feel relieved, and they felt that the Inhumans finally had a weakness. They were not as nervous as before and started to treat the Inhumans as special mercenaries.
