This spaceship belonged to the Dark-star Special Task Force, disguised as ordinary travelers. The group walked down the gangway and stepped onto the dock of Floating Dragon Island. The eyes of the surrounding brutes immediately stared at this group of seemingly ordinary travelers.
The members of DarkStar walked into the city discreetly, turned into a few alleys, and passed through a narrow path between two houses. Suddenly, a group of muscular galactic pirates appeared in front of them. They looked back and saw that the path they came from was also blocked by a group of brutes.
"Ordinary people shouldn't come to a place like this. You have to pay for this suggestion …" The leader of the strong pirates had a ferocious expression. He raised his gun and pointed it at the leader's forehead.
The other pirates smiled creepily. After waiting for a while, the leader did not say anything else, so they were all confused. One of the subordinates pushed the leader's shoulder, and suddenly, the leader's body 'collapsed'!
His clothes fell to the ground, and black powder spilled out.
The ferocious expression of the pirates turned into fear. They immediately turned around and ran. Before they could run a few steps, all the pirates turned into black powder, leaving only piles of clothes on the ground.
The Dark-star members glanced at them, did not do anything, and continued on their way. They were used to this kind of scene. This was the ability of their captain [Ashes]. He could control carbon atoms to a certain extent, which was the nemesis of carbon-based creatures. As long as a creature had carbon in its body, he could cause extremely terrifying True Damage. Even Supers with Energy Protection would be heavily injured. This was the origin of Ashes' code name. His Esper Ability potential rating had reached A +!
Ashes was the new generation of ace that Dark-star was preparing to cultivate. The things in the Secret Message Bead were products that the organization had bought from a research organization in another Star Field at a high price. Dark-star had worked with the other party in secret for many years. In order to keep it a secret, the other party would always send different races to the Shattered Star Ring 'coincidentally' to deliver the goods secretly.
This time, the Silvers were transporting the goods, but there was an accident, and the carrier was captured. The goal of this Special Task Force was to retrieve the Secret Message Bead.
Ashes brought his people to find a place to stay and set up anti-detection equipment in the room. Then, his subordinates went out to gather information. Not long after, everyone returned to the room to discuss business.
"Yes, the Silvers are locked in a local slave market, right here on the map. We need to find a way to contact the transporter."
"What's the plan? Rob the slave market and rescue the carrier?"
"If we only rescue one Silver, it will raise suspicion. What we need to do is to rescue everyone."
Only when all his subordinates had finished their discussion did Ashes open his mouth slowly. "Don't use force yet. This is the Dragon Emperor's territory, after all. I'll go to the slave market and buy Yin Lin back."
…
On Floating Dragon Island, beside a certain large drilling equipment, Han Xiao was carrying out maintenance while a bunch of workers craned their necks to watch.
After screwing in the last screw, the drill returned to normal, and the workers continued to work. Han Xiao picked up the toolbox, turned around, and walked away. He opened the panel and glanced at it.
"Most of the machinery on Floating Dragon Island is large equipment, and the technology is relatively advanced. My knowledge is not enough to reverse engineer the blueprints, but I did derive the Dragon Guards' aircraft …" Han Xiao thought to himself.
After working in the logistics department for a while, he secretly learned the blueprint of the combat aircraft through the interface. Its official name was [Dragon Butterfly Reconnaissance Aircraft]. It was anti-gravity and could fly within the atmosphere. It was fast, agile, and medium-sized. Each aircraft could carry six to ten people. This was the blueprint that Haier had developed, and Han Xiao had learned it.
Han Technician had always had the idea of building a multi-passenger vehicle. With the new blueprint technology, he could overcome some technical difficulties and greatly improve the performance. When there was no maintenance work, the logistics personnel could move freely, so he used his free time to build the prototype of the vehicle.
Returning to the private workshop that was allocated to him by the logistics department, a large spherical mechanical structure stood in the middle. The mechanical arm lifted it in midair, and his construction speed was much faster than before. Previously, he had obtained [Instant Level Disassembly and Assembly] from the Silvers. The effect of this knowledge was to greatly increase the speed of disassembly and assembly. He spent ten potential points to max it out.
The biggest benefit of logistics was that he had the authority to use the materials in the warehouse. Building a vehicle did not require any cost, so he saved a lot of money. However, there were some very precious materials that only Manager Haier could use, such as the Void Dragon Skeleton.
Han Xiao was very tempted. The Void Dragon Skeleton was unbelievably tough, even tougher than all the alloys that he could create at the moment. There was a high-level mechanical suit blueprint whose core material was the Void Dragon Skeleton. That was another series of individual combat suits, and its performance was even stronger than his current Amphiptere. Furthermore, it had the special ability of the Void Dragon Skeleton. In terms of actual combat ability, it was almost two to three times stronger than Amphiptere!
That mechanical suit blueprint was not very complicated. It only required Advanced Knowledge, and the only difficult part was the materials. The Void Dragon Skeleton was very rare and could be used as a limited mine. Floating Dragon Island was one of the few places in the entire Shattered Star Ring that produced Void Dragon Bones. If he could get enough Void Dragon Bones, he would be able to build a new generation of mechanical suits, not just the 'Snake Series' model.
The Void Dragon Skeleton was a treasure, and the bone marrow extracted from it was also very useful. Unfortunately, it was all controlled by Haier. However, it also showed the benefits of Floating Dragon. Even if Ames did not purposely manage the organization, there were still many good things in the warehouse.
Now that I've integrated into the group and gained a firm foothold, it's time to find Horlaide and talk about the Silvers. My current identity is actually beneficial — it's convenient for me to negotiate openly. Han Xiao thought to himself. Since he could not count on the three mercenary groups, he could only rely on himself.
Han Xiao came to the slave market again. This time, it was different from the past. Just as he was about to walk through the door openly, someone suddenly called him from behind.
"Black Star, wait!" Theon caught up with him, panting.
"Oh, it's you." Han Xiao glanced at him.
At this time, Theon's face was swollen and covered with bandages, as if someone had done a few eye surgeries. There was also a group of subordinates following behind him.
Theon said with fear and trepidation, "Can you ask your subordinates to stop bullying us …"
"What are you talking about? We're colleagues. In order to improve the quality of the guards and better protect the safety of Floating Dragon, my team members kindly carried out combat training for you. How can you call that bullying?" Han Xiao said sincerely.
"I was wrong, I was really wrong. I'll apologize however you want me to!" Theon said with a crying face. He no longer had the arrogance from before.
Theon's arrogance came from his identity as a guard, and he could look down on all outsiders. However, Han Xiao and the others had suddenly become his colleagues, and he was stunned. His bitter days had come.
Han Xiao could not be bothered to waste time teaching him a lesson personally. He casually threw a mission to the players, and they happened to be in the guards as well. He beat them up at three o 'clock and then at five o' clock. Theon was beaten to the point where he wanted to die. He complained to the head captain, but Wilsander turned a blind eye and did not care at all.
Theon could not take the beating anymore, but he did not have the courage to leave the guards. Without this identity, how could he act like a tyrant? Even his life was in danger. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He had been waiting near the slave market for the past few days, hoping for the stars and the moon. Finally, Mechanic Han had arrived, and this scene had happened.
Han Xiao smiled and said, "Aiya, why are you apologizing? You were just following your duty. You didn't do anything wrong."
"What will it take for you to let me go?" Theon looked like he was about to cry. Every dog has its day. How could he have foreseen this? If he had known, he would have restrained himself.
"People say that health is priceless. How much do you think your health is worth?" Han Xiao smiled evilly.
Theon trembled and took out his communication terminal. He gritted his teeth and said, "One thousand …"
Han Technician was shocked. "You think you are so cheap?"
"Then one thousand five hundred …"
Han Xiao shook his head and said, "It seems that my friend needs to help you establish the right values."
"Two thousand! I only have this much money in my account. This is my savings for several years. Please, I really only have this much money … "
"Sigh, I'll give you a discount. Who asked me to be so kind?" Han Xiao did not comment. He took out his communication device and opened the transaction page. He glanced at Theon's subordinates and smiled. "What about you guys?"
His smile was like the devil in the eyes of the others. He trembled as he transferred the money. The notification sounded, and Theon felt like he was about to collapse. There was bitterness in his mouth. Not only did he lose the reward that Horlaide asked him to do in private, but most of his savings were also extorted by Han Xiao.
With 34000 Enas in hand, his wallet was filled again. Han Xiao smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand, and walked into the slave market.
Theon's team had accepted Horlaide's money back then, which was the biggest reason why they had failed. It was not Han Xiao's style to not make a huge cut. However much Theon had taken, he would make him pay back with interest.
After entering the slave market, Han Xiao met Horlaide in the office this time.
Horlaide put on a smile, walked up, and said enthusiastically, "Please take a seat. What do you want to drink?"
"Don't bother, I'll be direct. I want to take the Silvers away. Name a price." Han Xiao went straight to the point. Horlaide knew that he was a mercenary back then and knew that he had become a colleague, which was why he was so friendly.
However, Horlaide was the Head Butler's subordinate, so he could not make Horlaide submit, let alone use force. Han Xiao was here to negotiate.
Horlaide put on a fake smile and said, "What happened back then was a misunderstanding. I'm sorry if it caused you any inconvenience, but the deal is done. The Silvers are already goods. A big client called for a deposit, so I'm in a difficult position."
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. Suddenly, he smelled the scent of a colleague and said, "Don't keep me in suspense. You already have a plan, right?"
Horlaide chuckled. "I heard that your employer cares a lot about your people. I believe they are willing to pay. How about this, you help me convince them, and I'll give you 10% of the transaction."
"… How much do you want?" Han Xiao asked.
