Mad Blade and the others responded to the enthusiasm of the players, squeezing through the crowd and arriving in front of Han Xiao.
These people were the first to follow him to the galaxy, and most of them were god-level players in his previous life. Han Xiao had always treated them differently, so he did not bother with formalities and directly said, "You guys are late."
Everyone was stunned. Black Star's familiar tone clearly showed that he treated them as his own people, and a special feeling arose in their hearts.
When they were on the spaceship, they had learned that other players could also join the Black Star Mercenary, and that they were no longer the only players to enjoy the benefits of Black Star's faction. They had all felt helpless about it, but now, they felt that there was still a difference in treatment for 'old people' like them.
Returning to Black Star's side, they could not help but feel a lot more at ease.
"Actually, expanding the scale is not a bad thing. Black Star Mercenary is a growth faction. With more people, the benefits of the faction will grow faster," Hao Tian said.
The other players all agreed. Indeed, with more players, the faction could also grow faster, and it was beneficial for the professional players in the China Division.
However, they all understood the logic, but not being able to monopolize Black Star was very uncomfortable!
In Version 1.0, Han Xiao had already instilled a concept in the players through Pork Bun's video, which was that his faction would continue to grow as more and more missions were completed. This made the players feel that they could contribute to the development of the faction and receive higher benefits.
Now, this concept was not deeply ingrained in the hearts of the players. When they entered the galaxy, the players would personally experience this point. By then, not only would they work hard to complete missions, but they would also take the initiative to invite other players to join Black Star.
Furthermore, while the players were working hard for the development of the faction, the sense of belonging would subtly take root in the hearts of some of them. This was one of Han Technician's plans.
This group of players did not delay and went to Han Xiao to learn skills like the other players. They looked forward to joining Han Xiao because they realized their advantage — they were the only ones with Enas!
The pro players had gone to the galaxy early, and Han Xiao made them rich together. The Planet Aquamarine players could only look at the items in the faction store and drool. They were the rich ones who had the ability to spend.
"The shop has updated a lot of equipment and advanced knowledge."
"There's a new Sunil set? The Simplified General Class Armor has much higher stats than the NCO Class Armor. Too bad there's a level restriction. "
"Electromagnetic Rechargeable Shield? That's not a bad thing. I don't remember this item being available before the update."
The faction store had a lot of new products, and they were almost dazzled by the selection. After discussing for a while, they all bought what they wanted, mainly advanced knowledge. In any case, buying knowledge was definitely not a loss. They had seen the market price in the interstellar space, and it was simply a scam. The benefits of the Black Star faction were still the best. A set of advanced knowledge only cost around 10,000 RMB, which was more than half the price.
The prerequisite to purchase it was 1,500 Faction Contribution Points. These players all had a few hundred Faction Contribution Points. Below 1,000 Faction Contribution Points, 50 Enas could be exchanged for 100 Faction Contribution Points. Above 1,000 Faction Contribution Points and below 5,000 Faction Contribution Points required 500 Enas to be exchanged for 100 Faction Contribution Points. Even so, buying an advanced knowledge for 10,000 Faction Contribution Points was much more cost-effective than buying it in the interstellar market.
Before the update, these players had followed Han Xiao to do sixty to seventy missions. After deducting the cost of repairing and upgrading their equipment, they now had around 20,000 to 30,000 RMB in savings. They were rich, and they immediately contributed the first sum of money to Han Xiao in Version 2.0.
In less than five minutes, they had more than 600,000 Enas in their hands!
Han Xiao was elated. Paying for knowledge was an old gangster. His future was bright.
He could only harvest when the players were rich. These players were the first batch of experimental fields. Han Xiao had already verified that his idea was feasible, so this harvest was within his expectations.
Bringing Frenzied Sword and the others back was not only for them to spend money and replenish his depleted wallet, but also for them to set an example for others.
Since the other players were poor, he would let them see the rich up close and feel the difference.
Maliciously inducing class conflict, this was a very dirty move. Han Xiao looked around, and many players had looks of yearning and envy on their faces.
Originally, none of them had any money, and they were all poor peasants. Now that they saw Frenzied Sword and the others buying things that they could not afford like nouveau riche, their desires were instantly stimulated. Although the players' needs were already stimulated, Han Xiao did not mind adding more fuel to the fire.
Adding fuel to fire was his forte!
After settling the needs of Mad Blade and the others, it was already late. The sun had set, and night had fallen.
Han Xiao did not stay any longer. He casually gave Mad Blade and the others a faction mission to help the sanctuary, then turned and left the square. He had other things to do and would not stay there from morning to night.
"Let's level up first. I was delayed for a while and almost forgot about this."
Opening the interface, Han Xiao threw in the 1.2 billion experience he had just accumulated without hesitation. Finally, the long-awaited level-up notification appeared.
Leveled up to Lv.20 (max), + 00 Energy, + 00 DEX, + 5 END, + 5 INT. You have received 6 Free Attribute Points. You have received 1 Potential Point.
Your total level has reached Level 120. You have triggered the next stage of the Promotion Mission.
Level 120 Promotion Mission: Reach the required level of Energy
"Huh, it's this Promotion Mission."
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
It was not common, but it was not difficult. After all, there was no need to fight. The main thing was that it took more time and required the character's Energy to reach a certain standard, and this standard was definitely higher than the current level.
After reaching Level 120, Han Xiao's Energy had reached 860, which meant that his Energy had given him nine levels of attribute bonuses. The concept of Energy Level, to put it in simpler terms, was roughly equivalent to the Neigong Realm.
Every time one's Energy Attribute reached a certain standard, they would receive a new level of attribute bonus. When one's Energy Attribute fell below a certain level of attribute bonus, they would temporarily lose that level of attribute bonus, and their overall attributes would be temporarily lowered. It was equivalent to being in a bad state during a battle.
When one's Energy Attribute was full, their attributes would be at their peak.
The standard Energy Level was 9,000 Energy Attribute. Han Xiao was still a few hundred points short. This gap was not difficult to make up. As long as he found one or two Energy Training Techniques and trained them to the max, he would naturally be able to complete the mission.
In his previous life, increasing one's Energy Attribute was one of the ways to continue increasing one's strength after reaching the max level. Many players would go around looking for NPCs to learn Energy Training Techniques in an attempt to reach a new level of Energy Bonus and increase their attributes by a large margin.
"This Promotion Mission isn't difficult. Bennett, Herlous, and Harmon should all have different Energy Training Techniques. With my current Favorability, as long as I mention it, they probably won't refuse to share it …"
Han Xiao nodded. Since the Promotion Mission was not difficult, he planned to save the Mission Completion Card for future use.
Other than the Promotion Mission, there was also the Class Advancement Mission for the Mechanic class.
Class Advancement Requirements: Learn any one of the three Mechanic High-End Knowledges and raise it to the max level.
Remarks: The Knowledges you choose will determine the outcome of the Class Advancement.
This mission was within Han Xiao's expectations. The Class Advancement requirements for the next stage were fixed, and every Mechanic player would meet this requirement.
During the first stage of the Class Advancement, the Mechanic class would face the choice of Cannon Master, Mechanical Pugilist, or Mechanic. At this stage, the Mechanic class would face a new choice. They would have to choose one of the three branches: Armament, Energy, and Control.
It was the Large Machinery Path, the Miniature Path, or the Virtual Technology Path (good for internal battles). It did not mean that one could only use one path in the future. After the Class Advancement, one could still learn the knowledge of all the branches. It was just that the focus of the skills would be different.
It was just like how the Cannon, Mechanical Pugilist, and Mechanic branches all learned the same knowledge, but the skills obtained were different.
Furthermore, the biggest impact was that the cost of Potential Points would change. For example, if one chose the Armament branch, the cost of learning the last two High-End Knowledges in the Energy and Control branches would become three times the normal cost.
As for which branch to choose, Han Xiao did not hesitate at all. What he wanted was the Virtual Technology branch.
There were a few reasons for this. First, he would definitely meet high-level Mechanics in the future. Virtual Technology could guarantee absolute control of his machinery, and his machinery would not be taken away by the enemy network. In his previous life, he had suffered many losses. Although the Armament and Energy branches seemed very powerful, the insignificant Virtual Technology branch was the most important. No matter how strong your machinery was, as long as it was hacked by the enemy, it would be as good as scrap metal. Furthermore, it would be attacked by the enemy.
The second reason was that Han Xiao was not afraid of the high cost of Potential Points. It was almost impossible for normal players to learn all the Class Knowledges, and the astronomical cost would make people despair. However, it was not impossible for Han Xiao.
He had the huge EXP channel that was the players, and the speed at which he gained EXP was countless times faster than the players. As long as he kept maxing out his skills, he could slowly accumulate Potential Points.
Therefore, the negative impact was not too big for him.
"I still have about 200,000,000 EXP left. Let's not rush the Class Advancement. I'll finish the Class Advancement mission first and accumulate enough EXP to level up."
Han Xiao looked at his Level 120 attributes and casually threw all his Free Attribute Points into Intelligence, breaking through the 900 mark. He then closed the interface and returned to his residence.
The core area of the Sanctuary was divided into a separate area for him and the mercenaries to live in.
Pa!
After turning the last corner, Han Xiao suddenly stopped and saw Bennett waiting for him at the door.
"Black Star, the Six Nations want to talk to you," Bennett said in a deep voice and went straight to the point.
"They really can't sit still anymore."
Han Xiao's eyes flashed. After waiting for an entire day, the Six Nations had finally made a decision. Now, it was his turn to extort them.
The Six Nations had once sided with Godora, and now, he had seized the opportunity and intercepted them before Godora arrived.
His position was no longer the same as before. Whether or not he could turn this novice planet, Blue Star, into a long-term base depended on the outcome of this negotiation!
