However, the mercenaries were not impatient with these 'new companions'.
Some of the players were given the Wayne Cards by Herlous, and things quickly got out of hand. The Wayne Cards were very popular in the universe. The cards had simple enchantments, and all kinds of light effects could be seen when playing. Not only was it interesting, but every card was an organization or character in the galactic world, which made the players very interested in the structure of the galaxy.
Playing cards could even increase knowledge!
With the existence of the forums, new things would always attract the attention of the players very quickly. There were posts that explained the various ways of playing the Wayne Cards and introduced the cards, which attracted the curiosity of the players from all over the world.
Playing mini-games in the game, two happy things added together, this was double the happiness.
In Han Xiao's previous life, the Wayne Cards were already very popular among the players. Now that the players had come into contact with the Wayne Cards much earlier than in Han Xiao's previous life, this trend was started earlier.
The Shattered Star Ring Card Set that Herlous showed off to the players was also posted. The cards were all characters in the Shattered Star Ring, and most of the players did not recognize them. Only a few players knew about them, such as Dragon Emperor Ames. Many people still remembered her white legs that filled the screen.
The players also saw the Black Star Mercenary card and were shocked. They did not expect Han Xiao to be a member of the card set.
To be able to be made into a card, it should be a symbol of status. Did this not mean that Black Star had quite a bit of status in the Shattered Star Ring?
The players could not help but be surprised. The stronger the faction, the happier the players would be.
However, Han Xiao was very helpless. The players could create value every minute. Wasting their limited energy on playing cards infinitely would reduce his profits.
Hard work comes with merit, but no play comes with play!
A certain great man had once said that there was nothing that could not be solved by playing cards. If there was, then just play another round. The players were having fun, and Han Xiao could not force them. Seeing this, he felt pain in his heart. Because the players were his recruitment targets, the strength of the players was equivalent to the strength of his organization to a certain extent.
After hesitating for a long time, Han Xiao had a new idea.
Since the players like to play cards, why don't we find a chance to hold a card game competition in the name of the faction? Set up an award or something like that. Large-scale group leisure activities can increase the sense of belonging to the faction …
Han Xiao felt that this plan was reliable. From the looks of it, it was not necessarily a bad thing for players to like playing cards early.
However, even if he were to hold an event, it would not be now. At the very least, he would have to wait until he led the players into space. At that time, he would be able to sell a wave of card packs …
…
Version 20 had been released for more than ten days, and the players were slowly getting used to it. In the previous version, the level limit was 60, which happened to be at the watershed of the first Race Evolution. Now that the level limit had been raised, the players completed their Advancement one after another.
This topic quickly swept through the forums, sitting firmly at the top of all the planetary boards.
Han Xiao did not pay much attention to the players' analysis of Race Evolution. He went to look for his officers and expressed his intention to learn the Energy Training Method.
Energy Training Techniques were not something rare. Most of them were universal skills and were not restricted by one's job. Han Xiao asked around. Herlous' Favorability was high enough, so he did not need any additional conditions and directly gave him a new method.
Han Xiao did not lack EXP now, and his stamina recovery rate was also very high. After two to three days of training, the effect of each exercise was 3 Energy, so the total effect was 320 Energy. He was still a few hundred points away from 9,000 Energy, so he needed a new skill.
For this kind of energy training skill, the more he learned, the more EXP he would need to spend. However, Han Xiao did not need to worry about this problem with his current EXP reserves.
Harmon also agreed to share the energy training method, but he had a request — to fight to his heart's content and defeat him. This guy was a protagonist type character and also a battle maniac. In order to build a War League and train himself, he would not let go of any opportunity to fight.
Han Xiao did not have any objections. When he had recruited Harmon, they had fought once. He was one of the best in Grade B, and he would not lose to anyone of the same grade.
The two of them came to the spaceship's combat training room and faced each other from afar.
This battle was purposely avoided from the players. Han Xiao did not want to reveal his strength so quickly. Furthermore, for people of their level, the arena was too fragile. It would be too troublesome to repair it if it was damaged.
However, he still made the best use of it. He had the mercenaries bring the prisoners over to let them experience the combat power of the galactic mercenaries and train them.
Hannes was not included in the prisoners. Han Xiao had given him his freedom and allowed him to stay in the Sanctuary. When Bennett saw his old friend who had gone missing, he was shocked. After learning about Hannes' guess, his heart also sank. However, Han Xiao did not care.
"Come if you're ready."
Han Xiao nodded and said to Harmon.
* Bang! *
Speaking nonsense was not Harmon's style. The muscles on his body suddenly swelled, and his body was several times larger than Han Xiao's. With a stomp of his legs, he charged forward like a cannonball. Raising his battle axe, he smashed it down towards Han Xiao.
Ka Ka Ka
Two giant mechanical hands quickly spread out above Han Xiao's head, grabbing the axe and pushing it forward. Flames surged as they wrestled with Harmon. Strength collided with strength, and a shockwave spread out. The prisoners in the corner were directly blown away, rolling on the ground like gourds.
This group of prisoners could not even stand firm in the aftermath of the collision. They crawled up in a sorry state, their faces full of shock.
They had seen Han Xiao in action before, but at that time, their level was not high enough. They were unable to understand Han Xiao's combat power, but now that they were watching from the sidelines, they understood that in front of this group of galactic mercenaries, they were not much different from ordinary people.
Han Xiao's hands trembled, and two more giant mechanical hands spread out from his sides. He punched out with both fists.
* Boom! Boom! *
After two heavy blows, Harmon was sent flying. His legs landed on the ground with a loud thud, and the metal floor was dented by him.
The four giant mechanical hands chased after him, and under the enhancement of Mechanical Force, they appeared to be extremely powerful. Harmon did not dodge at all, swinging his battle axe to meet them head-on. The axe continuously clashed with the giant mechanical hands, producing thunderous sounds as sparks flew everywhere.
Dang Dang Dang
The sounds of the collisions echoed in the room.
Han Xiao stood in his original position, not even putting on his mechanical suit. In the past year, he had improved his combat style, adding some elite mechanical systems. He no longer used the Third Company, which was a low-level Army Style. Now, he had more methods to deal with opponents of the same level.
For example, this Enhanced Close Combat Style came from High-End and Advanced Knowledge. It used the giant mechanical hands as the core system, and other than close combat, it could also be equipped with other weapons, combining both offense and defense.
The materials used were the hardest alloy Han Xiao could synthesize at the moment. His current materials technology was still at the Advanced Level, and he had yet to learn the High-End Knowledge of materials science.
The four giant mechanical hands suddenly disintegrated, and the components were like butterflies flitting through flowers, causing Harmon to slash at empty air. He staggered, revealing an opening. At this moment, the components once again reformed into four giant mechanical hands, trapping Harmon in the center, with only his head exposed.
The mechanical fingers tightened, grabbing onto Harmon's body, and controlling him in an instant.
Weng!
The next moment, the four palms simultaneously released shockwaves, causing the ground to shake violently. The air distorted at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the shockwaves spread out, engulfing the limited space in the training room.
The prisoners, who had tried their best to retreat, were still hit by the shockwaves. The pressure of the shockwaves pressed them tightly against the wall, making them look like paintings. Everyone's face twitched incessantly, and their expressions were even more distorted than when they were diving.
A string of damage values jumped out from Harmon's head, and the shockwaves penetrated his body. Harmon's tensed body immediately softened, and he entered a temporary state.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Xiao soared into the air, kicking towards Harmon's head. Countless mechanical components instantly spread out from his leg, and in the blink of an eye, a black mechanical foot several meters long had attached itself to his calf. It ruthlessly stomped on Harmon's face, causing a muffled sound to ring out.
This kick landed squarely on Harmon's face, and the tremendous force caused the floor beneath Harmon's feet to cave in and distort.
Without waiting for Harmon to struggle free, the mechanical foot released clanking sounds, and the alloy shell beneath it unfolded, revealing a large caliber cannon barrel. It aimed straight at Harmon's face, and light particles condensed, causing a dazzling radiance to light up within the cannon barrel.
Rumble!
The light cannon fired a fiery explosion at Harmon's face!
The two of them fiercely bounced back, and their burly bodies, which were emitting black smoke, tumbled backwards. As for Han Xiao, he nimbly landed on the ground. The giant mechanical hand and foot disintegrated at the same time, transforming into mechanical components that rapidly folded together, transforming back into compressed orbs that automatically retracted.
This series of moves was currently a commonly used combat method.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Harmon tossed out his battle axe as he tumbled. The axe spun and flew out, bringing with it a sharp whistle.
Han Xiao did not move, and the halo array appeared behind him. The floating cannon shot out rays of light, instantly forming a golden shield in front of him. The axe embedded itself into the shield with a clang, leaving behind a large mirror-like crack. The blade of the axe was just ten centimeters away from Han Xiao's forehead.
Pushing aside the axe, Han Xiao looked over and saw Harmon standing up. After suffering a series of heavy blows, apart from a large patch of his body being charred black, he was still full of energy. He then took out a war hammer.
"Heh, how exciting!" Harmon wiped the corner of his mouth, his tone rough as he breathed out hot air, full of fighting spirit.
"You really can take a beating." Han Xiao was helpless. Harmon had a one-track mind and liked to use his fists to settle everything. He was unlike Herlous, who would admit defeat. Only by knocking him out could the battle end.
Although they were both melee combatants, Herlous was both a damage dealer and a meat shield, while Harmon was a pure main tank, extremely tanky.
He could see Harmon's attribute panel, and there were two very powerful specialties. The first was that every time his HP fell below 20%, he would have a chance to recover half of his HP. The second was that every time he lost 1% of his HP, he would gain a buff of 2 points in Strength, Agility, and Endurance. In a battle, there was no limit to the buff.
In theory, if Harmon was lucky, his strength could increase endlessly. Furthermore, he had the protagonist's aura, so he could casually look at the treasures under the skirt of the Goddess of Luck. These two specialties were like a limitless Bloodthirsty Berserk to him … Thus, this' theory 'could easily become reality.
This was a talent in combat!
