Your total level has reached 100. You can continue to level up after completing the Promotion Mission.
The Trial of the Strong requires you to kill a strong enemy that is one grade higher than you. You can complete the mission with a team, but the team members cannot exceed your own grade. Current progress: 0/1
"F * ck you …" Han Xiao clenched his teeth. This Promotion Mission was not the most difficult, but at his level, the difficulty increased by a few times.
Killing a strong enemy beyond his grade, he had drawn a similar Promotion Mission before. At that time, when he was LV 40, the requirement was to kill three targets that were five grades higher than him. The difference was very small, but compared to this Promotion Mission, it was like heaven and earth.
"I'm Grade B now. Doesn't that mean I have to kill a Grade A strong enemy that's one grade higher?"
Han Xiao's mouth twitched. If this mission appeared at a lower grade, it would only be a little challenging. It would be like forming a team to kill a boss. However, as he advanced, the difference would become bigger, and the difficulty would increase exponentially.
The Trials of the Strong only appeared in the advancement requirements of Grade B to Grade E. After reaching Grade A, this mission would no longer appear. If he was Grade B +, then the difference in strength would not be that great. However, he was only LV 100. In terms of levels, he was only at the beginning of Grade B to mid-grade. Yet, this requirement just happened to appear at this level. He felt as if the Goddess of Luck had kicked him in the face. This was simply unlucky, and Han Xiao felt extremely uncomfortable.
What kind of concept was Grade A? It could cause a destructive disaster on the surface of a planet. Their strength was only below Grade S, and they could do whatever they wanted in the galaxy. Grade B was the backbone of the galaxy, and Grade A was the high-end strength. The difference in numbers was tens of thousands of times.
The difference in strength was too great!
Han Xiao sighed. The mission was already set, and there was no point in being frustrated. He had to advance anyway, so he could only think of a way.
"The difference between Grade A Supers is also great. If I want to complete the mission, I can only pick the weakest among them … but no matter how weak they are, they are still much stronger than me. If I fight them head-on, I will definitely lose. I can only use underhanded methods. Luckily, I don't have to fight them one-on-one, and there is no way to complete the mission."
Han Xiao rubbed his chin. His brain was spinning rapidly.
"First of all, I have to determine the target and search for similar opportunities in his memory. Secondly, I have to make a plan to weaken the enemy as much as possible before the battle. I have to take advantage of his weakness and kill him. Otherwise, I will not be able to fight against an A-class powerhouse at his peak."
There were no restrictions on the method of killing, which meant that he only needed to kill the target with his own hands. The most ideal plan was naturally to kill a prisoner who was unable to resist. It might be possible at a lower level, but at this level, there was no chance at all. Even if some forces held A-level prisoners, it was impossible to kill them casually, let alone let others do it. Therefore, the only way to complete the mission was to fight.
This was like hunting. The hunter had his eyes on a powerful prey and was hiding in the dark. He needed incomparable patience to make the prey fall into his trap.
However, it was impossible to complete the Advancement Quest in a short period of time. Han Xiao was glad that he did not go for the Advancement Quest first. Otherwise, he would have suffered a huge loss.
"There are many targets, but none of them are to be trifled with. We still need to plan for the long term …"
Han Xiao thought to himself.
…
When he returned to the stronghold, most of the players were not there. The first season had ended, and there were many subsequent events. The time these professional players spent online was significantly reduced. Only Pork Bun, Maple Moon, and a few other players maintained their online time. However, they were not in the stronghold at this time. Instead, they were running daily quests outside.
Han Xiao knocked on the other people's rooms. Herlous, Aroshia, and the others had all gone out. He was the only one at home.
The huge stronghold hall seemed cold and empty.
Looking at the time, it was dinner time. He took a bottle of bright silver alcohol from the cabinet, opened the convenient food box, and presented a box of fast food wrapped in foil a minute later. Inside were some lean meat and beans, drizzled with black sauce.
Han Xiao placed the fast food and drink on the table in the middle of the hall. He sat down on the sofa, took out a spoon, and ate slowly. These simple things were his dinner.
After eating for a while, the gate of the stronghold opened, and the officers came back together. Herlous walked in front with a toothpick in his mouth, chatting and laughing with the three Volga brothers. Sylvia carried bags of various sizes and clung to the expressionless Aroshia, talking non-stop. Aroshia's replies were never more than five words, but Sylvia was never tired of chatting. She had walked out of her depression faster than expected. It was no wonder, as at least her father was still alive. Only things that were lost would make people worried. She understood her father's intentions. He wanted her to live a new life, so naturally, she did not want to be depressed all the time.
Aroshia also changed into new clothes, a long dress. With Han Xiao's understanding of her, it was most likely bought for her by Sylvia.
When Han Xiao went to work, the officers went shopping together and had a meal together. Otherwise, Aroshia would rather stay at home.
As soon as they entered, they saw Han Xiao sitting on the sofa, eating a box of fast food.
Han Xiao looked up and glanced at them. "You're back?"
Everyone hurriedly restrained their smiles and nodded solemnly.
"Old Merlin, go and check the mission reports of the Sunil team. Three brothers, remember to enchant the batch of machinery that I gave you last time. Aroshia, don't transform in the stronghold for the next two days. It's not easy to clean it up." Han Xiao put down his spoon, stood up, and walked to the machinery modification room. "Sylvia, follow me."
Sylvia's face tightened, and she quickly followed Han Xiao into the machinery modification room and closed the door.
Kicking away the abandoned parts on the floor, Han Xiao found a box, sat down, and sized Sylvia up without saying a word.
Sylvia felt uncomfortable under his gaze and carefully asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
Han Xiao knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, "I want you for ten years. You're now my subordinate, not here for a vacation. What do you think you can do for me?"
"I'm not sure …"
Sylvia lowered her head. She did not understand why Han Xiao wanted her to work for ten years. She was just a child and could not help at all.
"You're useless now. In the future, I'll teach you the knowledge of Mechanics. You'll only be useful to me when you become stronger. If you refuse to learn and don't want to work for me, don't think I'll allow you to stay in my mercenary group. I don't need trash." Han Xiao did not hold back.
"You — you want to teach me the knowledge of Supers?" Sylvia was stunned and stuttered. "I thought you just wanted a maid."
Han Xiao frowned. "What do I need a maid for? Are you better than a cleaning robot?"
Sylvia's eyes wandered, and she said without confidence, "I — I've never thought about it. Supers … can I really do it? Hmm … what I mean is, do I have that kind of talent? "
"My eyes can see the blurry future, and in you, I see potential." Han Xiao said calmly. "Langley never let you step into the realm of Supers. What a foolish thing to do. When you were born, the Super gene has been hidden in your body, waiting to be awakened. Your bastard father buried you for many years."
"Don't call him a bastard." Sylvia was unhappy. "That's my father."
"I haven't lost my memory." Han Xiao raised his brows. "He has seventeen major charges, including but not limited to treason …"
"Alright, he's indeed a bastard." Sylvia bit her lips. "But you're not allowed to say it. Only I can say it!"
"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business. I'll let you awaken your magnetic energy and teach you the knowledge of Supers."
Sylvia could not help but stand up straight. She felt that she was about to step into a new level. She was both excited and nervous.
"Then … what should I do?"
Han Xiao took out four thick books and stacked them together. They were about forty centimeters thick. These four books were all basic machinery theories written by different people. The interface did not allow him to accumulate knowledge like this, but it was not as convenient for others.
In order to become a Mechanic, one had to go through many years of learning. Even if Sylvia was very talented, this step was still necessary.
"Memorize all four books first."
Looking at the thick books, Sylvia's mouth opened wide. This was far from what she had imagined. "This is too much …"
Ignoring her opinion, Han Xiao continued. "I'll only give you ten days. After ten days, I'll test you. If you don't pass, you'll have to memorize one more book until you pass."
Sylvia's face turned bitter. Memorizing so many books in ten days was not something she could do even if she died of exhaustion. Furthermore, she had never come into contact with the relevant knowledge before. How was she going to understand the contents of the books?
"Ask me if there's anything you don't understand. After you pass the test, I'll teach you how to awaken Mechanical Force."
Han Xiao waved his hand, and Sylvia had no choice but to walk out with the books in her hands. She quickly memorized the books with a depressed expression.
Although Han Xiao himself did not need to learn like this, the knowledge existed in his mind. It was not that Han Xiao had not studied it before. Teaching other people Mechanic knowledge was not a problem at all.
"I wonder how long it will take for her to grow to the point where she can be of help."
Han Xiao shook his head.
This was the case with long-term investments. It would take a long time for him to earn back his capital. Thankfully, he did not lack patience.
…
The aftertaste of the Pro League had yet to disappear, and the players were still immersed in the aftertaste. A few days later, the official version update announcement suddenly appeared on the forums and was instantly pinned at the top. Once again, the players were pleasantly surprised. It was translated into various languages and targeted at players from all regions. In less than a minute, the number of replies quickly exceeded ten thousand, and it was still increasing crazily.
The content of the announcement was that in twelve days of game time, the Version 10 update would officially be activated. At that time, all accounts would not be able to log in, and it was recommended that players go offline early to prevent unnecessary losses.
As for the content of the update, it did not mention a single thing. The players could not help but feel that it was mysterious. The unknown new version increased the players' anticipation.
The main storyline of the various novice planets had all been completed, and the famous people of the different planets had also shown their charm. They each had their own fans. After completing the main storyline, the players were still in the free exploration period. Even the side missions had many extended storylines, and the sense of realism was very strong. Compared to killing monsters and clearing the level, this was more like a journey that made people forget to return. Therefore, many players were eager to know what new storylines would happen on their planets in the new version. They were concerned about the fate of these characters and looked forward to the full view of the vast universe.
The unknown content of the version caused the players of the various planets to speculate. Many people guessed what would happen in the future through the storyline and the relationships between the characters in Version 10. The reference materials were the chronicles of the various planets.
After the completion of the Version 10 main storyline in the various regions, there were finally players who excitedly posted their own chronicles. This method attracted the attention of countless players, and they all posted the chronicles of their own planets.
All the players contributed together, posting the missions, stories, characters, and so on that they had encountered. Everything that happened on the planet during this period was recorded by the players, be it the main storyline or the side missions. Even a unique NC was recorded by the players.
Everyone participated in the same thing, and this feeling made the players happy and never tired. It was as if they were in the tide of the era, working together to achieve a great cause. This sense of belonging was extremely strong.
This was the first batch of hardcore players in Galaxy. In Han Xiao's previous life, even if some players did not play Galaxy due to busy or other reasons, they would still come online occasionally to see how the storyline had developed. As there were too many new things, the sense of immersion was unparalleled. It was both a game and a drama series.
