The impending Catastrophe had originally made the civilians panic, but now, everyone on the streets was smiling, as if the return of the Supers had dispelled their fear. "I'll bring you into the city.
According to the rules, I have to accompany you the entire time, "Lerden said.
Han Xiao did not mind and said, "Your race seems to worship Supers a lot."
"To be exact, it's' excitement '," Lerden said calmly. "Our race suffered a huge change and moved to this dangerous planet. After so many years, we still haven't gained a foothold. The efficiency of collecting resources is too slow, and it's not enough for our own consumption. Many materials have to be bought from the galaxy, and our productivity can't support foreign trade.
Therefore, in our race, the Supers who are strong enough will enter the galaxy and become mercenaries. Most of their rewards will be 'handed' to the race. This is an important economic pillar for our race. Otherwise, we wouldn't have enough resources to make so many weapons and survive the Catastrophe. "
Han Xiao understood. As a fallen civilization, the Sunil race could only rely on strong individuals to support the entire race. Therefore, they were treated like heroes. Becoming a Supers was an honor in the eyes of the civilians, so they all worshipped martial arts.
Han Xiao still remembered that Lerden was very calculative when it came to money. However, in reality, Lerden's rewards were almost all 'handed' to the race. He lived frugally just to earn more money for the race.
"Relying on strong individuals to support the economy is sick for a civilization," Han Xiao said.
Lerden nodded. "Indeed, but this is a choice we have no choice but to make. Ultimately, it's because the Catastrophe slowed down the race's recovery, so we had to spend a large portion of our resources to make weapons to resist the Catastrophe. We couldn't expand and build quickly, so there were many unnecessary losses.
If we don't completely solve the Catastrophe, we won't be able to break this cycle of evil. The race will live in torment and never be able to get out of this terrible situation.
"We've tried many methods, even considering killing all the beasts, but this is the worst plan. Regardless of whether it can be done or not, once the ecological chain collapses, the whole planet will go from being full of life to being destroyed. That's why the race chose a different method to mine the Prophecy Stone mine. It's to destroy the Cataclysm from the source, which is the least harmful. This work has been going on for many years, removing the ores bit by bit. As long as we persevere, sooner or later, the Mind Current will disappear. At that time, the race will no longer be troubled by the Cataclysm … "
A hint of yearning appeared on Lerden's indifferent face. He murmured, "Tough times will always pass. (UU novel is the fastest to update) "
Han Xiao had a basic impression of the Sunil Race. This was a 'pretty' stubborn race. The stronger the Supers were, the greater the responsibility. For the continuation of the race, they were willing to work hard without complaint.
"What a pity …"
Thinking back to the development of the Sunil Race in his previous life, Han Xiao could not help but sigh.
After entering the city, the supers dispersed and returned to their homes. The crowd also gradually dispersed.
Following his memory, Han Xiao took a few turns and eventually came to a deserted alley. He stopped in front of a narrow, black door. The sign next to the door had a picture of a wine cup.
"Bar? Is the person you want to visit here? "Lerden frowned.
"Is there a problem?"
"… No."
Lerden was expressionless. He despised all those who spent money to enjoy life, thinking that they were wasting money and lives.
After all, he had already lost the ability to enjoy life.
Pushing open the door, the bar was dimly lit, and there was not a single customer. The city was in a tense period, so basically no one would get drunk. Han Xiao walked to the bar counter and heard soft snoring coming from behind the bar counter.
Han Technician looked over and saw a man lying on the floor behind the bar counter. The side of his face was close to the floor. He was sound asleep with a pile of empty bottles beside him.
Bang!
Han Xiao slammed the table and said, "We have a customer. Get up!"
The man first moved his fingers and let out a lazy snort from his nostrils. Then, he slowly got up. His breath reeked of alcohol, and his eyes were still sleepy. He had not come back to his senses yet. He said, "What do you want to drink?"
"Two glasses. () "
"One glass is enough," Lerden interrupted.
"Give me the money first." The man yawned.
Han Xiao took out his communicator and was about to transfer the money when the man suddenly laughed. "Dear, you're not thinking of paying with Enas, are you? This is a small business. I only accept local currency."
Lerden frowned. He was usually active in the galaxy, so the Sunil currency was not very useful to him. He was about to pay for Han Xiao when Han Xiao smiled and said, "I don't have local currency. Can I pay with something else?"
The man did not even look at Han Xiao. He took out a bottle of alcohol from under the counter, opened it, and took a sip. He said casually, "What is it?"
"A name."
The man's lips curled downward. He looked very impatient. He glanced at Han Xiao and said in annoyance, "I'm not interested in guessing games. If you don't want to drink, get out of my bar."
"Delphius."
Han Xiao's tone was calm, but it was like thunder in the man's ears.
The man, who was about to raise his head to drink, froze. His lazy expression disappeared, and he became expressionless. He did not look drunk at all. The drunkenness in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he stared at Han Xiao with a threatening gaze.
He slowly put down the bottle and said slowly, "Sit down and wait. I'll go wash my face first."
Then, the man walked out of the bar and went to the toilet.
Han Xiao and Lerden were the only ones left at the bar. Lerden suddenly said, "You don't know him at all. You're not visiting someone you know."
"I know his brother, so I'm here to visit him," Han Xiao explained casually.
This drunkard boss was called Herlous, and Delphius was his brother. The subclass that Han Xiao had his eyes on was called Ordnance Engineer. To the players, this subclass was very rare. There was a way to change subclasses in Sunil, and the item that triggered it was called 'Delphius's Handbook'.
Delphius was a military mechanic before the Sunil disaster. He was very famous, and many innovative machines were invented by him. He wrote some of his experiences in his handbook. Later, when Dark-star attacked and Delphius died, the handbook was passed down to his younger brother, Herlous, and became a relic.
Han Xiao wanted to borrow the handbook from Herlous so that he could complete the subclass change.
After a while, Herlous returned to the bar and washed his hair. He was a middle-aged Sunil. His skin had a light indigo color, and there were a few protruding lines on his forehead near his temples. He had a lifespan of about 150 years. Other than that, he was not much different from the humans of the universe.
Herlous opened a bottle of wine, passed it to Han Xiao, and said, "Although I don't know how you found me, my brother's name is worth a bottle of wine. I brewed it myself."
Thick white smoke came out of the bottle, and the smell of the wine was pungent. The wine brewed by the Sunils used the leaves of some kind of tree as the raw material, so it had a bitter taste. Han Xiao took a sip and felt the numbness at the tip of his tongue. He then expressed his intention.
"I'm a mechanic. I've heard of your brother's name, so I want to borrow his handbook."
"That's it?" Herlous raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively.
"That's it for now." Han Xiao chuckled, glanced at Lerden, and said meaningfully, "Do you think I have other motives?"
Herlous got a vague reply, and his tone turned cold. "Is this a threat?"
"No, no, this is kindness." Han Xiao smiled. "But a good person like you definitely won't have the heart to reject such an unimportant request."
Lerden had no idea what the two of them were talking about. Is this human language? Why can't I understand?
Herlous seemed to be hesitating, but in the end, his expression turned to one of helplessness. He turned around and entered the room. After a while, he came out with an old diary in his hand. He slammed it on the counter and said in annoyance, "Hurry up and leave after reading it."
Han Xiao touched the diary, and a notification appeared on the interface.
You have received Delphis' handbook.
Got it! Han Xiao suppressed the joy in his heart, opened the diary, and pretended to read it. It was all in Sunil language, and it looked like English cloze. However, it did not matter if he did not understand it. A progress notification popped up on the interface. As long as he finished reading this book, he would be able to change his Class.
According to the normal mission channels, obtaining this handbook required a lot of luck, and the process was extremely complicated. After all, no one knew Herlous' identity beforehand, so most people would not try to make a good impression on a bar owner who looked like a random person. The normal result was that after getting familiar with Herlous, during a drink, the drunk Herlous would miss his brother and take out this book. Only then would the player be able to trigger the Class Change coincidentally.
However, Han Xiao knew his secret information, so he went straight to the point, skipped the complicated process, and borrowed it.
Lerden glanced at it and asked, "You know Sunil language?"
Han Xiao closed the book and said, "No, I don't."
"Then you still want to read it?" Herlous glared at him.
"Just treat it as me admiring your brother. Thank you for the wine."
Han Xiao put down the diary, smiled, and left.
Herlous shouted behind him, "Weird guy, don't disturb me again!"
"You never know." Han Xiao had a teasing look in his eyes.
Walking out of the bar, Han Xiao opened the interface and looked at the latest notification. He was in a good mood. After being stuck on the Class Change requirement for so long, he finally got the subclass that he wanted. The EXP on the interface could finally be used!
