This space station was not big, and its appearance was dark gold and gray iron. The overall design was in line with Godora's light and curvy style, like a long-spaced spiral mosquito coil. Of course, there was also an indescribable sense of deja vu. In short, it was curved.
Unlike most technological civilizations that paid attention to precision and simplicity, the internal structure of the space station was more complicated. If one did not check the map on the equipment in the corridor, they might even get lost. Han Xiao and the others were outsiders, so the secret areas of the space station were not open to them. They could only move around in the dock, the resting hall, and the guest room area.
The one who came to welcome them was the head of the space station. Even though Han Technician could not easily distinguish the appearance of Godora people, he could tell that this head of the space station was a serious person. His hair was tied up in Godora style braids, and he had the standard Investigator equipment on him. His actions and attire were meticulous, and he had the demeanor of a soldier.
The composition of Godora's Investigators was complicated. Some were selected from the army, some were recruited from society, and some were selected from the local security forces before undergoing training. There were also some who were recruited from school. This head of the space station was obviously an officer, and he did everything according to the rules.
The spaceship was sent to the shipyard for maintenance and refueling. Everyone rested in the hall. Han Xiao did not reveal the purpose of this trip to his companions, so they thought that this was just a normal stop to rest. Han Xiao led the three Volga brothers to play a popular casual card game in the galaxy. The rules of the game were battle type cards. These cards were famous people and civilizations in the galaxy, and different Star Fields had their own card sets. For example, the Shattered Star Ring Card Set had four Beyond Grade A bosses, including Ames.
It could be played with more than two people, and the players would each play a Star Field. They would pick a certain number of cards from the Star Field's card set and start the battle. These cards were also divided into different functions: Civilization Card, Expert Card, Exploration Card, Power Card, Ability Card, History Card, Mercenary Card, Wealth Card, Treasure Card, Spaceship Card, Monster Card, and so on. It was very popular in the galaxy, and its position in the hearts of the galactic residents was similar to poker cards. Apart from the standard gameplay of playing a star region, there were many other variations.
In his previous life, there were many casual players who liked to play these cards. They could even understand the power structure of different star fields from these cards. This set of cards was created by an interstellar business chain. Every once in a while, the cards would be updated, adding some new famous people as cards, or some dead people would be moved into the "discarded card deck". It could almost be used as a list of famous people in various regions.
Recently, Herlous and the others had been obsessed with this card. In the previous update, a few cards had been added to the Shattered Star Ring Card Deck, and the Black Star Mercenary Group had been added as a new card for the Mercenary Card.
The Mercenary Card was a neutral troop type. Using the Wealth Card to recruit on the spot, they could directly stand on the battlefield from the card deck. They could attack quickly and turn the situation around. In the Shattered Star Ring deck, the Mercenary Cards were mostly large mercenary groups like Sky Ring and Blades that had tens of thousands of people. The Black Star Mercenary was a special new card. Due to the small size and weak strength of the Black Star Mercenary, the creator set the attributes of the card to be the lowest among the Mercenary Cards, but it had a special effect.
The 'Black Star Mercenary' card had the identity of the Floating Dragon Field Team and could be linked with the 'Floating Dragon Island' card. As long as the card was judged to be successful, Ames could be drawn from the card deck immediately.
Han Xiao could guess that the inspiration for this card came from the sensational news last year when he summoned Ames and destroyed the Dark-star mothership in one hit.
In his previous life, the Great Mechanic Han rarely played cards because of his bad luck. However, he was very clear about how popular these cards were. He did not expect that he would actually become a member of the deck today. This made him very surprised. This was great news. When the players entered the galaxy, it would be a new way to increase their fame.
Being made into a new card, he could be considered a celebrity. Herlous and the others had a lot of fun. Of course, they had to add some prizes to their cards.
Beside these few gamblers, Sylvia was holding a book and memorizing it, completely immersed in the abyss of learning. Not far away, Aroshia was resting with her eyes closed. Ever since she entered Grade B, many different scenes flashed through her mind, and she would often be distracted. Fu Ding was sitting in the corner, silently training his Psychic energy.
The stationmaster's tone was serious. After giving some instructions, he left the hall. Another slightly plump Godora person with a kind smile stayed behind to receive them. He introduced himself as the deputy stationmaster.
Different from the stationmaster, the deputy stationmaster was very good at chatting and always had a smile on his face. The clue to the mission was on him. Han Xiao asked a few questions, and the deputy stationmaster revealed the clue in a casual tone.
"We lost contact with a research ship on a nearby planet, and the search team we sent out did not reply. We used our space telescope to see traces of the spaceship's crash and explosion. The stationmaster reported the situation to the higher-ups, and the General Bureau of Investigation put this mission on the agenda. They assumed that no one survived, but it is also possible that the missing team is still alive. By the time the headquarters sends people over, they may have missed the rescue opportunity. Sigh, Nereja's wife is in the research team, and he has been very anxious recently."
Han Xiao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Where can I find this Nereja?"
The deputy stationmaster shook his head. "This matter has been handed over to the headquarters. According to the rules, we are not allowed to privately ask for help from mercenaries."
"I just want to talk to him."
"Okay, he should be in the porthole corridor now."
Standing up, Han Xiao said goodbye and left, heading to the location mentioned by the deputy stationmaster. That Nereja was the person who triggered the mission.
The deputy stationmaster looked at Han Xiao's back, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
When he came to the porthole corridor, he saw a Godora investigator from afar looking at the starry sky outside the window in a daze. His face was gloomy. Han Xiao walked up quickly and asked, "Are you Nereja?"
"You are the mercenary who stopped here." Nereja turned his head, a little wary.
"Well, I heard that two research ships here lost contact on a planet. My intuition tells me that there seems to be a job here that needs manpower."
"This is Godora's internal matter. We don't need help from outsiders." Nereja frowned. When he talked about this matter, his face was obviously a little unhappy. This mood was obviously not directed at Han Xiao, who he had just met for the first time.
"I heard that your wife is also in the missing team. You must be very anxious," Han Xiao said. "She might still be alive. Time is life, and as long as you give me a small reward, I can help you find the target."
Hesitation flashed across Nereja's face, and he fell into silence. Han Xiao thought that he would agree. Unexpectedly, he shook his head and said, "This is none of your business."
After that, he continued to look out of the window in a daze.
Han Xiao was stunned. According to the process in his memory, as long as he said this clue, Nereja's mission would be triggered.
Did he miss something?
He tried to persuade Nereja again, but the other party was not willing to ask for help from mercenaries. Han Xiao was at his wit's end. He thought hard and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Could it be because of this?
Back in the hall, he dragged Fu Ding over and explained the situation to the confused Fu Ding on the way. When he saw Nereja, Fu Ding adjusted his collar and greeted him with a warm smile. After a few words, Nereja's eyes were full of tears. He turned to look at Han Xiao.
"He's right. I can't regret it because of hesitation. Mercenary, I want to entrust you to find my wife. This is against the rules. Please don't tell anyone else."
As soon as he said that, Han Xiao's interface immediately changed.

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and chuckled.
