Herlous had a look of disbelief on his face. Just as he was about to say something, Han Xiao spoke first.
"Don't be so hasty. You didn't believe that I was a foreseer either. If you hadn't changed your mind, we wouldn't be meeting now. I don't need you to believe me immediately. Think about it carefully. Why would I lie to you? The Sunils didn't give me any benefits. Even if I'm lying, you have nothing to lose."
"… Indeed." Herlous nodded in agreement. Even if Han Xiao was bragging, the race was just maintaining the status quo. Herlous would rather believe that Han Xiao was telling the truth. As long as there were reinforcements, the losses of the race fighting against the Catastrophe would be greatly reduced, and they would be able to develop.
Although there was the potential threat of the Dark-star, the Sunils were just small fries to the Dark-star. As long as they kept a low profile, they would be able to find opportunities to grow in this dangerous environment.
With that in mind, Herlous said with a serious expression, "If you can really help the race get through this, the Sunils will be your strongest ally. I can't make the decision for the race, but I believe that the leaders will definitely do so. Please believe in the determination and quality of the Sunils."
"Of course, I've never doubted these two points." Han Xiao flattered Herlous, making Herlous feel good both physically and mentally.
"As for your attitude, I'll report it to the upper echelons immediately …"
Han Xiao waved his hand and said, "I advise you not to say it first. A surprise is better than waiting in torment. Furthermore, with just your words, the upper echelons of your race might not believe that I'm a foreseer."
Herlous was stunned for a moment before he said, "That's true …"
"If I'm not wrong, you should be like the other Supers, heading to the galaxy to be a mercenary."
"Hmm, I've been in the race for too long. It's time for me to go out and contribute. I'll leave in two days." Herlous nodded. Although he was very strong, he had never explored the galaxy alone.
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled, and he smiled.
"Since we've reached an agreement, why don't you join my mercenary group and be my comrade?"
At this moment, Han Technician felt like he was possessed by Luffy. If he were to add in the backlight, the sun's backlight, and an outstretched hand, coupled with a hot-blooded BGM, he felt that he could trigger the super powerful [Recruitment Success Rate + 100%] buff.
"Join your Black Star Mercenary …" Herlous was tempted. He was going to be a mercenary anyway. Not only would there be more people working together, but he would also be able to interact with Han Xiao for a long time, witness his actions, and verify if what he said was true.
If Han Xiao was sincere in helping the Sunils, he would have a chance to repay him. He would help Han Xiao save his mother planet, and they could even discuss how to deal with Dark-star together. It would be way too convenient for them to talk through the night and perfect the plan.
Furthermore, Han Xiao was very important to the Sunils, and he could not let anything happen to him. If they teamed up, he would be able to protect him. After all, Han Xiao's strength was at a mediocre level in Herlous' eyes. He was definitely not strong.
His strength is one grade lower than mine. It's very dangerous to be a mercenary. I'll follow him in case he dies in an accident.
After careful consideration, Herlous felt that this suggestion was very constructive and immediately gave an affirmative response. "Okay, I'll join your mercenary group."
Hearing this, Han Xiao nodded calmly, but he was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum in his heart.
— — It wasn't a waste of my five hairpin style tricks, I finally managed to lure this main character away!!
Other than being able to contact the Sunils, Herlous could also strengthen the NPC officers of the mercenary group. This was a high-end combat force!
I've made a killing this time!
The content of their conversation was not reported to the upper echelons. Just as Han Xiao had suggested, the Sunils were kept in the dark for now. Only Herlous knew.
Two days later, the galactic travel group arrived on Planet Sunil. The players followed Han Xiao, waiting to board the ship. Suddenly, they saw a tall Sunil walk over. They had stayed in Forest City for so long and had seen the military's propaganda. They immediately recognized that it was Herlous, a character that was being made into a hero.
Herlous was wearing simple casual clothes. Han Xiao glanced at him and asked, "Where's your armor?"
"I lent it to the research institute. I can only take it back when they've derived the blueprint, so I can only bring this weapon with me …"
Herlous turned sideways and revealed the silver metal cube tied to his back. This was the folded state of the Battleship Slicing Blade. This was the only equipment he had brought with him.
"I see …" Han Xiao felt that it was a pity. The Commander Grade armor was good stuff, but he had not even reached the requirements for the NCO Grade armor, let alone the Commander Grade armor. Anyway, there would be a chance in the future, so there was no need to rush.
Han Xiao turned to the players and introduced. "This is Herlous, a Grade B Super. From today onwards, he'll be our comrade, a new member of the mercenary group."
Oh my god! Everyone's jaws almost dropped to the ground. They were dumbfounded.
Oh my god, the hero of an entire race was kidnapped by the captain!
"Why did you join us?"
"What's your class?"
"Did you make some kind of deal with Black Star?"
Everyone was curious about this new comrade. Herlous was surrounded in the center and felt the passion of his' teammates'. He was not used to it and forced a smile.
The players' detection results were a sea of question marks. They were very curious about how Han Xiao had managed to hook up with a Grade B Super. This was a top expert in high-level maps and should be even stronger than Black Phantom. He was probably the strongest person in the entire mercenary group.
The players were very excited that someone stronger had joined their group.
After a while, the spaceship slowly landed. Herlous got rid of the players and walked to Han Xiao's side. He looked up at the spaceship with a stiff expression.
Han Xiao turned around, raised his brows, and said, "You seem a little nervous. You've never been to the galaxy before?"
"Yes, this is my first time." Herlous rubbed his hands, wiped the sweat off, and said softly, "Actually, I'm a little afraid of heights …"
"… You're a disgrace to Pugilists." Han Xiao was speechless.
The group boarded the spaceship and slowly rose into the sky, flying toward the outer space. Forest City slowly shrank in their vision. This mercenary mission had finally ended. They left with one more member than when they came. The Catastrophe of Sunil had benefited them a lot, especially Han Xiao, who had earned a lot.
"We've planted the seed in Sunil this time. It can be considered as connecting with the storyline of Dark-star … The plan has finally taken its first step." Han Xiao crossed his arms, deep in thought.
The destination of the spaceship was Juberly Hub. Before the next mission, Han Xiao had to go back and rest the team, as well as digest the rewards of this trip.
…
In Forest City, a military base was opened to become a recruitment office.
After the Catastrophe, it was the day for new recruits to enlist. Young people of suitable age participated in compulsory military service and received military training. The young people came to the recruitment office one after another, accompanied by their parents.
Lana arrived very early. He was only allowed to enter the recruitment office after handing over his identity card. Unrelated people were not allowed to enter, and his parents were stopped outside.
Lana turned around. His parents were waving outside with their usual kind smiles.
He took a deep look at them before following the team into the military base.
After queuing for a long time, it was finally Lana's turn to go through the procedures. The officer sitting behind the table did not even raise his head and said casually, "State your name, then take a number plate for the physical examination."
Lana took a deep breath and said seriously, "Sir, I would like to apply to officially enlist."
The officer looked up and glanced at him. "Do your parents know?"
"They don't."
"Young man, your parents must have warned you not to apply to officially enlist, right?"
"Yes, sir, but I believe that my decision is correct," the officer said coldly.
"Once the application is approved, you will be fully responsible for your decision. You are not allowed to go back on your words. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
A smile appeared on the officer's cold face. He opened the drawer, and there was a thick stack of official enlistment application forms. He took one out and handed it to Lana.
Lana was about to take it, but he realized that the officer was holding the application form tightly. He could not take it out. This time, the officer said coldly, "This is your last chance to regret."
Lana took the application form with a firm expression.
"Very good. The official enlistment area is at the side. Don't block the people behind."
