The slave market was being demolished and rebuilt. Han Xiao showed his identity as the logistics department to the construction team and successfully entered the underground corridor. He came to the cell that Aroshia had once been locked up in. He looked around and knocked around, but he did not find anything unusual.
Before him, Floating Dragon had already checked the cell but found nothing.
Aroshia stood outside the door and suddenly asked, "Why do you want to take me away?"
Han Xiao was speechless. He could not say that it was a mission requirement, so he could only say, "I'm very curious about you."
"Curious?" Aroshia mumbled. "What is that feeling?"
Han Xiao said, "Curiosity is the desire for knowledge. For example, when an ordinary person loses their memory, they want to know who they used to be. This is a type of desire."
"I don't seem to have such a thing. Is this very special?" Aroshia shook her head.
"Er, normally speaking, those without desires are mostly artificial intelligences. Not needing to eat or excrete is a characteristic of energy life forms." Han Xiao sized Aroshia up and said, "But you are neither of them. You just don't have the most basic material needs, but it doesn't mean that you don't have all the desires. Don't you have anything you want?"
Aroshia thought about it carefully and said, "I don't think so."
"Are you sure? Since you asked me, this is because you want to know what 'desire' is. " Han Xiao said, "Without desire, there is no life. Desire is the sense to experience life, and it can be said to be all the motivation for life to act. Therefore, a life form like yours is very special."
Aroshia tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "You want to teach me how to use the energy in my body because of your own desire?"
Han Xiao said honestly, "I want you to become stronger and become my combat strength." He had figured out some ways to communicate with Aroshia. There was no need to hide, just directly stating his intentions.
Aroshia still had an indifferent attitude. "I won't die, so why should I become stronger? There's no meaning in being strong or weak. Well, I should say that existence itself is meaningless. "
Han Xiao thought about it and said, "But if you die, your memory will be reset again. You will forget the short-term memory this time, and the reborn you may not be the current 'you'. Once you are reborn, you will have to start from the beginning again and repeat the same thought process, wasting the same amount of time to achieve the current result. Becoming stronger can help you avoid being reborn and prevent yourself from being killed by others or disasters."
Pausing for a moment, Han Xiao continued, "As for the so-called meaning, you don't need food or excrement to survive, so you can't experience survival. For an existence like you, if you just sit there in a daze, a day or a year will pass in the blink of an eye. Since that's the case, why don't you take the initiative to find something to do and give your life a meaning?"
"Is that so?" Aroshia muttered to herself for a while, then nodded and said, "Thank you. It's been a pleasure chatting with you. No one has ever talked to me so much before." In the past three years, outsiders only had two impressions of her. One was that she was a Space Wonder, and the other was that she was a slave who couldn't run. No one had ever treated her as a normal individual.
"You're welcome. It's just a casual chat."
There were no clues in the cell, so Han Xiao had no choice but to stop. He casually chatted with Aroshia and waited for the approaching time limit to see what would happen.
Time passed second by second, and when the last minute passed, a change happened silently.
Aroshia was still standing outside the door and did not return to the cell. She took a few steps back, then lowered her head to observe her body. There was no abnormality, so she retreated further and further away.
The Visitor from Afar has been completed.
You have received 0 Experience.
Han Xiao was shocked, and his eyebrows were raised so high that they almost flew off.
He had done almost nothing, and the Space Wonder that even Floating Dragon Island could not solve was eliminated just like that. It was definitely not that simple!
You have triggered Grade A Hidden Chain Mission.
Note: This mission is a chain mission. The next phase will only begin after the previous phase is completed.
First Phase Mission: Teach Aroshia and help her awaken her Esper Ability, control the energy in her body, and reach Grade B.
Reward: 520 Experience, Random Reward, + 5 Risda Favorability
Failure Condition: Death of Aroshia
"A running type Grade A Hidden Mission!" Han Xiao was shocked. This was usually the configuration of a large-scale Main Storyline Event.
There was no information about this storyline in his previous life, which meant that no one had triggered Aroshia's storyline. This was an unknown event, and he was more and more certain that Aroshia was not simple. The mission name was' Restart '. What did it mean? Also, who was this person called Risda?
"I think I can leave." Aroshia was confused. "What did you do to me?"
"I don't know." Han Xiao was helpless. "Anyway, this is a good thing."
Two days later …
The upper echelons of the three large mercenary groups arrived late. Jenny met with them and accepted their apologies. She finally released Goa, Porter, and Cerleni's teams, who had been locked up for many days.
As soon as these people were released, they immediately surrounded Han Xiao and praised him endlessly.
The upper echelons of the three armies came to contact Han Xiao, and their attitude was very friendly. All the mercenaries could feel that the upper echelons valued Han Xiao. In this operation, Han Xiao had shown the ability of a team and had obtained the background of Floating Dragon. Even the three large armies did not dare to underestimate him.
After everyone was free, they immediately prepared to leave Floating Dragon and return the Silvers to their impatient employers. Han Xiao had been waiting until now to get a ride.
On the day he left, Jenny, Wilsander, and Haier all came to send him off.
The entire dock was shocked, and the brutes all over the place were shocked. They sized up Han Xiao, who was chatting with the three of them, and secretly asked about the name of the Black Star Mercenary. To have the three armies of Floating Dragon send him off together, his position here was definitely not low.
The mercenaries who knew about it were even more shocked. Han Xiao had only joined Floating Dragon for about half a month, and he already had a place in Floating Dragon so quickly. To have the three managers send him off personally, he had a lot of face. The upper echelons of the three large armies only saw Jenny alone.
"Her Excellency Dragon Emperor has allowed you to join the Field Team. You are now the Field Team Officer, and your organization is the armed force of Floating Dragon outside. I hope you can grow stronger quickly."
Jenny's tone was formal. She took out a special communicator and handed it to Han Xiao. "This communicator can directly contact Ames, but I have to remind you, if there is no need, it is best not to disturb her."
Directly contact Ames? This thing is like a nuclear bomb launcher!
Han Xiao kept it with him.
Haier walked (crawled) over and said regretfully, "You are a pretty good Mechanic. Now that you are gone, my workload has increased again. This gift is for you."
Looking down, Haier's appendage handed him an alloy box. Han Xiao opened it, and his eyes sparkled.
There was a portable nuclear reactor inside, using controllable nuclear fission technology. A stable nuclear reactor was something that could only be created with advanced energy knowledge. Energy knowledge was even more tightly sealed than compression technology, so he could not create it for the time being. Now that he had the reactor, he could add materials and automatically produce it. It could be used as the energy core of the mechanical suit, and the mechanical suit's power would be raised to a whole new level.
"Thanks." Han Xiao's face was filled with joy, and he nodded to express his gratitude.
After Haier left, Wilsander came over and said with a smile, "Haier is a little ugly. I thought he was ugly at first, but I got used to it after interacting with him for a long time. His personality is pretty good."
Han Xiao glanced at him and said, "Ames probably thinks the same of you. You don't have the looks, so you can make up for it with your personality."
Wilsander's face fell.
"Don't change the topic. Did you bring any gifts?"
"Nope."
"Goodbye." Han Xiao clasped his hands, turned around, and boarded the spaceship.
"Hey, why is the difference in treatment so big!" Wilsander said unhappily on the dock.
Hu!
The spaceship took off.
Floating Dragon Island disappeared from their sight. When they left, there were four more people than when they came. The three Volga brothers were sleeping on the side, and Aroshia was looking at the universe outside the porthole in a daze.
There were pros and cons to joining the Dragon Emperor's faction, but for the time being, the pros far outweighed the cons. Not only did they obtain new blueprints and new materials, but their talents also evolved. The most unpredictable reward of this operation should be the Secret Message Bead. The greater the risk, the greater the value.
Because Floating Dragon Island had already drifted to the Fawn Star System, in less than a day, they had already returned to the desolate planet where their employer was.
As soon as they landed, the Silvers could not wait to return to the main group. They were very excited that they had escaped death.
After their employer calmed down, they fulfilled their promise and started to pay them.
