The impact of the return was still strong, and it was sensational. All the residents of the sanctuary had come, and from the square to the surrounding streets, it was packed with people. The best viewing spots around the high platform were naturally occupied by hundreds of thousands of players, and there were three layers of people inside and three layers of people outside.
Everyone wanted to hear what Black Star, who had returned from the galaxy, had to say.
Ta ta ta …
Han Xiao walked out of the core area with a group of mercenaries following behind him. Many pairs of eyes looked over with excitement and anticipation. Wherever they passed, the sea of people automatically parted. It was like the opening of the sea in the legends.
Walking up the platform, the mercenaries stood by the side. Han Xiao looked around, and there was a sea of people. Millions of pairs of eyes were staring at him from all directions. His every move was under everyone's observation.
Han Xiao's face was calm. With how thick-skinned he was, he did not know how to spell the word 'nervous'. He slowly raised one hand, and a compressed orb rolled out from his sleeve and landed in his palm. He threw it behind him.
Zap!
A blue electric light flashed.
Under everyone's gaze, the compressed orb quickly changed. A silver-black alloy mechanical throne unfolded below Han Xiao. He slowly sat down. The mechanical throne slowly rose into the air and floated more than ten meters in the air. At the bottom of the throne was the blue light of the anti-gravity stabilizer, looking down at the crowd on the ground.
Immediately after, three identical Void Mirror Images appeared behind him. They faced different directions and took care of the crowd in all directions.
In the sky above the sanctuary was a fleet in a circular formation. The square was right in the middle of the circle, and Han Xiao was the center point.
His pretentiousness was instantly maxed out!
"What the f * ck, so cool!"
"The standard appearance of a big shot. I feel like I'm looking at a second Dragon Emperor!"
"This is so f * cking awesome!"
Han Technician used the method of raising his pretentiousness. Sitting on the throne that could fly, he felt very cool. The players were all excited.
He looked around, cleared his throat, and spoke in a deep voice. Through the mini loudspeaker, his voice traveled very far.
"I'm back."
Boom
Just this sentence alone made the residents of the sanctuary cheer. As the creator of the sanctuary, Han Xiao's reputation here was off the charts. He was very popular and won the hearts of the people. The players were affected by the atmosphere, and Han Xiao's image could not help but become even more lofty.
He raised his hand and signaled for everyone to be quiet. Soon, the whole place quieted down. Even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. Everyone was quietly waiting for him to speak.
"Two years ago, I foresaw this calamity and resolutely headed into the galaxy to find a solution. I made a promise that for the sake of my home, I would return to face this calamity with everyone … Today, I have fulfilled my promise.
The universe is very dangerous. I only obtained my current strength after going through many twists and turns. You don't need to know about the dangers involved. I willingly bore the pain in exchange for the ability to deal with disasters … "
Han Xiao's choice of words was ambiguous. He casually skimmed over his specific experience in the galaxy, showing that he did not want to talk about it in detail. This caused many of the residents of the sanctuary to imagine.
However, the players were laughing in their hearts. They had already known about Black Star's experience in the galaxy through Pork Bun's video. Even if Black Star did not want to talk about it, they knew very well. Moreover, Black Star did not know about this.
Many of the players looked at each other and winked at each other. They all had a tacit understanding and had a look that said, "We already knew."
Han Xiao glanced at the players, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
He deliberately said this to make the players feel a sense of superiority, thinking that they knew everything about him. When they had such thoughts, they had already fallen into his trap. Not only would the players take the initiative to recall and deepen their impression of him, but it would also be a hidden help to their next actions.
"We are all in the midst of a calamity. No one can stay out of it. I am willing to generously share the knowledge I obtained from the galaxy to help everyone grow together and get through this together!"
The eyes of hundreds of thousands of players lit up. They had been thinking about this for so long. This was what they had been waiting for!
I want to f * cking open chests … Bah, I want to learn skills!
After saying a few more encouraging words, Han Xiao retracted his formation and signaled the end of his speech.
The residents of the sanctuary dispersed with hope in their hearts, but the players swarmed forward and surrounded Han Xiao.
"Long time no see, Inhuman warriors. I can feel that you are stronger than two years ago."
Han Xiao nodded with a serious face, pretending that he really did not know about the players.
You are the one who has changed the most!
Many of the players could not help but complain in their hearts.
After saying a few simple words that sounded like something an NP would say, his acting was natural and harmonious as usual. Then, Han Xiao decisively began to sell skills. After holding it in for so long, he could finally harvest cute players again. The joy in his heart was about to overflow.
After Version 1.0, the players were very familiar with Han Xiao's skill teaching interface and shop interface. They were not surprised and were used to it. Now that they saw it again, they missed it very much.
Selling one's own skills and knowledge was equivalent to a teacher teaching skills. He could set the price himself and obtain the players' 'tuition'. The skills that Han Xiao sold were mainly Mechanic skills, and they were skills that the players could learn on their own when they reached a certain level. Since the players' levels were still low, it gave Han Xiao the opportunity to teach them in advance.
However, Han Xiao would not teach skills that were too important, such as compression technology and mass production plans. Most of the skills that he taught were basic skills that increased Machinery Affinity. There were also some low-level blueprints that were not that important. Blueprints were usually very popular.
As for Mechanic knowledge, other than the full set of basic knowledge (after all, most players had not even learned the basics), Han Xiao also picked out a few Advancement knowledge that were not too important to teach. In the past, he did not teach too much Advancement knowledge, but now that it was the new version, he naturally did not have such concerns. He was doing this to steal the game.
Of course, letting the players learn the future skills in advance was not that bad. It could barely be considered a win-win situation. After all, the earlier they learned the skills, the earlier they would be useful.
Anyway, the players all wanted to find someone to learn things from, and he had a full set of services that were cheap and convenient. How great would it be if he could monopolize the market? There were no anti-monopoly laws here to restrict him.
"Wow, so many Mechanic skills that I have never seen before."
"Heavy Machinery Modification, Advanced Detection Technology … There are also more Advancement Knowledge than before!"
The players looked at the dazzling list of skills, and excitement almost gushed out of their eyes.
As expected of the new version, there were so many skills, many of which had never been seen before. After Black Star's trip to the galaxy, not only had his status increased, but his benefits had also increased.
Because the players had reached the maximum level at the end of Version 1.0, they could only level up their skills. Thus, everyone had a lot of EXP in their pockets, and Han Xiao was aiming for their accumulated EXP!
With the start of the new version, the players would not be stingy with their EXP. All of them were big money tycoons, and Han Technician would not stop until he emptied their wallets!
Not long after he started selling, Han Xiao's EXP on the interface skyrocketed, and notifications flooded the screen. A large number of players did not hesitate to learn the skills, and they spent their EXP lavishly, allowing him to earn a lot.
Looking at the jumping EXP on the interface, Han Xiao smiled with satisfaction. He was like an old farmer who had worked hard for half a year and finally had a good harvest.
He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time!
The EXP gained from the players learning the skills was like a river flowing backward, quickly filling up Han Xiao's EXP bar. The EXP that was originally less than 100,000,000 shot up like a rocket.
200,000,000 … 300,000,000 …
This efficiency was much higher than in Version 1.0!
Of the hundreds of thousands of players in the sanctuary, more than thirty percent were Mechanic players due to Han Xiao's hard work in Version 1.0. The ratio was much higher than in his previous life, and the market was huge. The price that Han Xiao set for the skills and knowledge was not ridiculously high, but it was not low either. Compared to the price of a few thousand in Version 1.0, he was now setting it at least in the tens of thousands. Because there was only one company for the time being, he did not need to lower the price to compete in the market. This was the benefit of having a monopoly.
As long as a hundred people learned a few skills, it would already be millions of EXP. The profit from 200,000 Mechanic players would definitely be much higher than in Version 1.0, at least in the billions. However, at Han Xiao's level, the cost of leveling up was also very high, and it would be even higher in the future. The more EXP, the better.
Only Han Xiao could level up like this. When the players were at his level, they would have to do missions for a long time to accumulate enough EXP to level up once, and they would still be as happy as an old chrysanthemum. Speaking of which, it was quite embarrassing. In his previous life, Han Technician was also like this when he was still a newbie. It was only later that he slowly developed the character of a salted fish. Sigh, he was once a playboy, but the moment he entered the world, time rushed by.
With my current speed, the EXP I get today should be enough to reach level 120 …
Han Xiao thought to himself. Once he reached level 120, he would be stuck on another Promotion mission. He had a Mission Completion Card in his hands. If the mission was too troublesome, he was prepared to use it directly. After all, he had to stay in Blue Star and could not leave to do missions.
To reach level 140, he would need a huge amount of EXP, and harvesting it once was probably not enough. Teaching skills and knowledge was not a one-time deal. When the players learned the same skill twice, it was equivalent to finding a teacher to level up the skill. There were long-term benefits, and Han Xiao was very patient about this.
Not only did he want to gain a lot of EXP, but he also wanted to make sure that his future generations would be endless.
His personal skills were targeted at the Mechanic class players, but he naturally did not neglect the players of the other two classes on Planet Aquamarine. Fair treatment was the way to go.
…
"They're all Mechanic skills. This is so uncomfortable!"
Black Star was a Mechanic teacher, and the happiest people were undoubtedly the Mechanic players. Their faces were flushed red, and it was as if they were going to laugh out loud at any moment. The Pugilists and Espers could only be envious. It was their fault for not changing their class to Mechanic back then. If only Black Star was their class teacher!
Unable to learn Black Star's skills, the players of the other two classes could only open the shop interface. However, they discovered that they could open the Black Star Mercenary faction store, and they were instantly pleasantly surprised.
"Isn't this the faction store in Pork Bun's video? It's actually open to us too?"
"By the way, I wonder if we can join the Black Star Mercenary and become part of them. Maybe we can even appear in Pork Bun's video."
"Tsk, these items are all grayed out. We can only look at them but not buy them. Oh, I understand. We can only look at the faction items. If we don't join, we can't buy them."
"Wait, look at the items above!"
The players carefully browsed through the faction store, and they were suddenly overjoyed. Other than all kinds of mechanical equipment, there were actually Pugilist and Esper class class advancement knowledges in the store interface!
However, the faction store could only be browsed, and it indicated that they had to join the faction to purchase them. Furthermore, the prerequisite to purchase these two class advancement knowledges was that the mercenary group had to have Faction Favorability, which was 1,000 Faction Favorability.
"Black Star, we want to join your mercenary group!"
"How can we join the group?"
The players rushed forward and asked. Due to the image that Han Xiao had always created and the video of Pork Bun, they already had a good impression of the Black Star Mercenary faction. Seeing these practical benefits, they immediately became determined to join.
"You want to join my mercenary group?"
Han Xiao pretended to be very surprised, and he pretended to ponder for a while before saying, "Yes.
