"Hello, players. This is Galaxy Times, dedicated to sharing first-hand game information and escorting your gaming career."
The male and female hosts read out the familiar opening lines. As soon as the program was released, thousands of old viewers flooded in, and as usual, there was a wave of bullet screen comments to urge the update.
"He's built a base, he's going to explode!"
"Sure enough, it's going to be a version update. I'm looking forward to it."
"My Big Times is awesome."
"Flood the bullet screen and cover the cold jokes!"
The bullet screen was filled with comments. The awkward cold jokes at the beginning of the program quickly passed, and they entered the main topic.
The male host said, "… In a few days, the Version 10 update will arrive, and Galaxy will enter the next version's storyline. Regarding this, we have obtained first-hand information and some unconfirmed rumors. In this episode, we will filter the information for the majority of players and make guesses and analysis for the next version.
"Then, before we start the analysis, we will first do a comprehensive analysis of the storyline of the various planets in the current version. A large part of our source of information comes from the chronicles of events compiled by the players for the various planets. Here, we thank all the enthusiastic players. This information has greatly facilitated our work."
The players were praised by name, and they were very happy.
Then, the two hosts summarized the storyline of each novice planet. At this time, the main storyline of each planet had already ended, and they could go through it from beginning to end. The Times also introduced and commented on the important characters in each storyline. Of course, the commentary was not boring but was accompanied by screenshots and video data.
Every time they talked about the story of a planet, the players of that planet would be the most active. The Version 10 main storyline of these planets was also very varied. Planet Winterfrost's Lord Xingolthus Incident, Planet Paleidon's Arcane Tide, Planet Longsong's Dynasty Division, Planet Summer's Shadow Corporation Incident, Su En's Chaotic Expedition, and so on. These were the core main storyline, and there were secondary storylines. Just like Blue Star's main storyline was the Six Nations and the Germinal Organization, and the secondary storyline was Bennett's Sanctuary Project.
The background of each planet was different, and the feeling that the main storyline gave to the players was also very different. There were modern, sci-fi, magical, mysterious, and indescribable styles. These planets were located all over the place. Most of the players had not entered the galaxy, so they did not know the location of their planet in the universe. However, Han Xiao did. The novice planets were evenly distributed in the various Star Fields, and Planet Aquamarine was the only novice planet in the Shattered Star Ring.
Among all the main storylines, Blue Star ended the earliest and received the most attention. There would definitely be a main character in the storyline that was closely related to the events. The two hosts read the script, and finally, it was Blue Star's turn.
"Speaking of Blue Star's main storyline, we have to mention a character that is absolutely unavoidable. After the Blue Star storyline ended, he was still active in the eyes of the public. He was the first character to lead the players into the galaxy. I believe that the majority of players will not be unfamiliar with his name …"
The comments went wild. Perhaps they did not know the storyline of the other planets, but almost everyone knew Han Xiao's name. These viewers immediately had a common topic.
"Black Star is out!"
"Is this the video of Han 'Black Phantom' 'Germinal Organization Destroyer' 'Sanctuary Master' 'Interstellar Explorer' 'Prophet' 'Black Star Mercenary Leader' 'Materialist' 'Box Trader' 'Poor Ass' Xiao?"
"Black Star, you bunch of b * stards are talking about me behind my back again."
"Team Thirty Seconds True Men requests to battle! Our slogan is' In the world of martial arts, only speed is invincible! '"
"Ahhh, I want the Dragon Emperor! I want Aroshia! I want to lick them to death! "
"Get lost, screen-licking monster!"
This time, it was the Blue Star players' turn to be active. The density of the comments increased to a whole new level. Spamming was a very promising skill, and the Chinese players had always maxed it out.
The male host held the script and briefly introduced Han Xiao's life story to the players.
"Han Xiao, original name Xiao Han, member of the Overmera family. He almost died in an accident and was captured by the Germinal Organization. He was made into a test subject, but the brainwashing failed. He disguised himself for a long time and finally found a flaw. He escaped from the Germinal Organization's control and began his journey to fight against the Germinal Organization. "He once joined Stardragon, but he left and became a freelance assassin in the Dark Net. His codename was Black Phantom. The Germinal Organization chased after him for many years, but they only saw his shadow. He awakened some kind of precognitive ability and was able to sense danger in advance. After a period of hibernation, he began his full-scale revenge. He single-handedly directed the Six Nations' expedition against the Germinal Organization. During this battle, he infiltrated the Germinal Organization's headquarters and stole all the confidential information, establishing the victory for the Six Nations. He became a hero of Blue Star. "However, his journey did not end there. One day, he predicted that a disaster was about to befall the Blue Star. So, he used some means to summon a space battleship and led the carefully selected warriors into the galaxy to find a solution.
Most of the above information came from the Chronicles and was obtained by the players. "
The players had collected a lot of information during the exploration period, and Han Xiao's story was already public information. In the history of Blue Star, Han Xiao was like the mastermind behind the scenes. Many events were related to him in countless ways. In the Chronicles, Han Xiao's name was mentioned countless times. This also allowed the new players to learn about the events that had happened in the past through the information, which continuously increased Han Xiao's reputation.
The Chronicles of Version 10 were already as vast as the sea, and Han Xiao was still a bright star, a hero in Version 10.
After talking about the story of Blue Star, the summary of the story of Version 10 came to an end. The two hosts entered the next segment, which was the theme of this episode, to analyze the new version.
"According to the information we have, we have made a few guesses. First, in the new version, the players will definitely be connected to the galaxy, leaving their original planet and starting to travel the universe.
"Second, other than the current thirteen beginner planets, the new version will also add new birth planets. Based on this point, the new birth planets should be planets that can directly enter the galaxy. Here, we are boldly guessing the difference between the new planets and the old planets. The old planets have to go through a new storyline to enter the galaxy, but the new planets can directly enter the galaxy. The price is that the players on the new planets have to start from scratch with a new account, while the players on the old planets have to inherit their previous high-level accounts, so whether it is new or old, they have their own advantages.
"Third, although the storyline of the new versions of different planets is unknown, the ones that lead to the storyline are definitely the characters, and there are definitely clues hidden in the characters. We suggest that we use the characters as a starting point to guess who will lead the next version's storyline, and what role will the main character of Version 10 play in the new version? The clues for most of the planets are limited, but there is one exception: Blue Star!
"Before Black Star left, he left behind a frozen mission, the last stronghold! The mission description is as follows: 'One day in the future, a catastrophe will engulf Blue Star, and Sanctuary Three will be the last safe stronghold. Only by protecting the weak light in the darkness can there be hope to survive this crisis.' The mission requirement is to protect Sanctuary Three, and the destruction rate cannot exceed fifty percent. We have reason to believe that this mission foreshadows the events of Blue Star Version 20, an unknown catastrophe that will affect the entire planet, and Black Star will definitely play a role in this catastrophe … "
Han Xiao left behind the frozen mission in order to give the players a direction to imagine and use this to increase his fame. Before the version changed, there would be a wave of guessing about the new version, and the report from The Times was within his expectations.
…
Blue Star, Sanctuary Three.
Towering steel walls, tight defense turrets, the Sanctuary was now fully formed, like a giant fortress in the wasteland. Han Xiao had left for more than a year, and the current manager of the Sanctuary was Huang Yu. He had built the Sanctuary according to the established strategy, and everything was in order. He had already taken in more than three million refugees. Other than these people who were being protected, there were also hundreds of thousands of migrants, who were the Inhumans.
Countless players treated Sanctuary Three as their main city, not only because there were enough daily missions and rewards, but also because Han Xiao's series of decisions had cultivated the players' habits. After the habits were cultivated, the players liked to gather there to set up stalls, trade, team up, and so on.
The residents had conflicting feelings toward the Inhumans. On one hand, the Inhumans liked to help them, but most people were jealous of the existence of the Inhumans and saw them as aliens. There had always been a sense of estrangement. The square where the players gathered was as dangerous as a special race's gathering place in the eyes of some residents, and they did not dare to go there normally.
The Inhumans had helped Bennett build many sanctuaries, but after they were built, most of the Inhumans would return to Sanctuary Three. Huang Yu did not understand why the Inhumans gathered, so he could only attribute the reason to his former boss. He felt that only Black Phantom would know the reason.
However, in the past few days, a large number of Inhumans had arrived from all over the world and flooded into the sanctuary without any warning. This phenomenon had attracted Huang Yu's attention.
"Have you found out the reason?"
In the meeting room of the sanctuary, Huang Yu asked his subordinates. After he took charge of the sanctuary, he had built his own team. Everyone in the room was a member of the Dark Net, and they were all under Bennett.
"No, the intelligence networks from all over the world have not found the reason for the large scale migration of the Inhumans. Currently, the number of Inhumans in Sanctuary Three has exceeded 800,000, and it's still increasing."
"This is not a good sign. Although most of the Inhumans know their place, there is no lack of saboteurs. We have been attacked a few times in the past year. If these Inhumans have other motives, the destruction that 800,000 Supers can cause is devastating. If we don't handle this well, Sanctuary Three, which has been built for two years, might be destroyed overnight."
Huang Yu was worried.
Of course, he did not know that the reason the players gathered in Sanctuary Three was because of the Times' speculation about the mission left by Han Xiao. Sanctuary Three was very likely to be a key location in the main storyline, and there was a high chance that it was a safe location.
Therefore, before the update, most of the players decided to come to Sanctuary Three. This way, not only could they enter the main storyline immediately when the new version arrived, but it was also safer than other places.
"We have to guard against this hidden danger. We have to take measures …" Huang Yu said.
"But … the instructions left by His Excellency Black Phantom was to not use any hostile tactics against the Inhumans, and not to control their freedom, except for those who cause trouble. What we are doing is going against his instructions."
Huang Yu shook his head. "I know, but we can't let our guard down against the Inhumans because of this. Black Phantom has been gone for more than a year. If he was here, I wouldn't have to worry about anything at all. However, he's not here, so we have to be flexible."
"Then what do you plan to do?"
Huang Yu said in a deep voice. "Divide, prohibit a portion of the Inhumans from entering the main city of Sanctuary Three, and chase them to the two nearby satellite cities, either Overmera or Black Pine. This way, even if there is chaos, it won't happen in the hinterland."
Everyone looked at each other.
"That's what we'll do. Report to the two satellite cities' managers and ask them to secretly mobilize the army to prevent any accidents. Three days later, we'll officially start the Inhumans division." Huang Yu's tone was firm as he confirmed the decision.
Suddenly, a wave of sleepiness hit him, and he could not help but yawn.
…
Dark-star.
In a hidden mothership base.
In a dark conference room, the screen of the video conference room was lit up with a cold light.
These people were the upper echelons of Dark-star, and every screen was a blurry figure. Their faces were hidden, and they were extremely mysterious. Even Godora, who had been enemies with Dark-star for many years, only knew a small portion of the upper echelons. Dark-star was like a cloud of fog that could not be seen clearly, and it was always hidden in the darkness.
The centermost screen was the leader of Dark-star. It was blurry, and his voice was also mechanically synthesized.
"What stage has the Mutation Source that we sent in reached?"
"Based on the time, it has already passed the larval stage, and all Mutation Sources will enter the larval stage within two months. The effects have already been concealed, and it is estimated that the Mutation Source will enter the outbreak stage in about a year. However, we are unable to pinpoint the exact time. After all, we are unable to control the thoughts of the Mutation Source."
The leader of Dark-star said, "Continue to observe. Godora has intercepted a Mutation Source, and we do not know the extent of their research. The plan needs to be changed, and we cannot wait for the Mutation Source to mature naturally. After the symptoms erupt, we have to take some action, and we will discuss the details later. Anur, how is Ashes?" The last sentence was directed at Anur, who was one of Dark-star's Grade A Supers and Ashes's teacher.
A voice sounded from the screen representing Anur. "I told him to focus on training his Esper Ability, and his progress is not bad. His strength has clearly increased, and given some time, his chances of entering the Calamity Grade will be over twenty percent."
"Hmm, Rogo died in battle, and Viemira is locked up in the Rainbow Prison. We urgently need to replenish our high-level combatants, and Ashes is currently the most promising candidate to reach Grade A Supers. His Esper Ability is extremely strong, so tell him that I have high hopes for him … Then, let's end the meeting."
