A leader of the official reception team walked out and said respectfully, "Thank you.
We have invited all of you to participate in the celebration, and we thank all of you for your participation. The preparations for the celebration are still in progress, and during this period, we will be responsible for all of your living arrangements. If you have any requests, you can let us know. Please follow me. We have already arranged your accommodations. "
Millions of mercenaries marched forward. Thankfully, Godora was a Star System Civilization, and they had arranged everything clearly.
There were still a few more days to prepare for Godora's celebration, and everyone could only wait for it to begin on Godora's mother planet.
The celebration would be held in the capital, and everyone settled down in the capital. The Army Commanders stayed in the same official guest house, and the mercenaries under them stayed in other places. However, only the Army Commanders were invited to participate in the celebration, and the millions of people could only watch the broadcast and could not squeeze into the venue.
The hundreds of thousands of players scattered in the capital would definitely not obediently stay in their rooms, and Han Xiao did not want to restrict the freedom of the players. The players would not have a good impression of the faction that forced them, and he could only use benefits and emotions to guide them. This was what he had always done.
The treatment of the players was the same as the other mercenaries. When they were not carrying out missions, Han Xiao did not care about their freedom as long as they did not violate the law.
Furthermore, only by letting the players understand the prices in the galaxy would they be able to experience the warmth of home in the Black Star Army.
…
After separating from his officers, Han Xiao and the Army Commanders followed the receptionists to the official guest house. This kind of guest house was used to welcome foreign guests and was not open to the civilians.
Along the way, Han Xiao casually chatted with the Army Commanders, and a few armies like Justin that did not have a contract with him took the initiative to form an alliance with Han Xiao.
He also took the opportunity to observe the scenery of Godora's mother planet. The sky was blue, and the people using the Flight Badge were flying in the sky like bridges. The tall and slender golden buildings pointed toward the sky, and there was a landing point on every floor. The scenery was similar to what he remembered.
The grand and luxurious official guest house was built on top of a mountain. The receptionists led Han Xiao and the others to their respective rooms. Every room was quite large and had all the necessary facilities. They were all double-story buildings with huge floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies that overlooked half of the capital. The air was very fresh, and the environment was beautiful.
After Han Xiao entered his own room, the receptionists left and did not disturb him anymore.
"The conditions aren't bad."
Han Xiao walked around the building, opened the fridge, and saw that it was filled with Godoran delicacies as well as all sorts of alcohol.
He took out a cube of frozen red meat and placed it into a simple automatic cooking machine that looked like a fireplace. After setting the 'Godora Traditional Sauce' flavor, he started the machine.
In just a short while, a plate of piping hot diced meat came out of the oven, and a thick golden sauce was poured over it like honey. It had the style of Godora, and it gave off an aroma that made one's mouth water.
"Finally, my taste buds that have been destroyed by the high-calorie nutrition cream can be saved."
Han Xiao inhaled a mouthful of the aroma, and his appetite was stimulated. He ate the cubes of meat as though he was eating a snack. The taste was sweet, and the meat was tender. It bounced between his teeth and actually had a jelly-like texture.
Godora was a magic-type civilization, and there used to be countless ferocious magical beasts on their mother planet. Now, they had all been locked up in zoos for people to view. A portion of them that tasted good had become common food and were bred artificially. The meat of beasts that contained magic energy was usually very delicious.
He then took out a red fruit that looked like a buttocks and an unopened bottle of light golden alcohol from the fridge. He walked to the balcony and leaned on the reclining chair, enjoying the scenery of Godora's mother planet while drinking and eating the fruit. He enjoyed the evil capitalist life, and the word 'comfortable' was written all over his face.
In his previous life, DarkStar had troubled Godora for a very long time. Now that they had been eliminated in advance, the hundreds of millions of lives that had been harmed by DarkStar had indirectly survived.
The biggest threat, DarkStar, had already been destroyed, and there were no longer any enemies eyeing them. They could finally welcome a period of stability, and they could carry out the expansion plan of the Black Star Army with peace of mind. Before the next version, there should not be too much danger. The situation was already set, so it should be fine to heal myself.
Not long ago, Han Xiao had used the Destiny's Child card to predict Ember's situation, and Ember was indeed still alive. However, unexpectedly, the result of the prediction showed that Ember was dead. To put it simply, he had made a divination and discovered that Ember's glabella was black, and there would be a bloody disaster in the near future.
Prophecy was not omnipotent. It was a pity that he did not predict where Ember would appear, so he could not chase after him.
Although he did not get rid of Ember personally, it seemed like Ember was going to be unlucky. Han Xiao was a little curious as to what kind of fatal danger Ember would encounter. The most likely possibility was that he would meet with Godora's pursuers and be beaten to death. It was a pity that the prophecy itself was very vague, so he could only make wild guesses.
The storyline of DarkStar has been changed by me, and the future events will not happen again. The fate of those DarkStar members will also be different, Han Xiao thought to himself.
From Version 1.0 onwards, the boss of the Garton Star System, DarkStar, had been the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head. Now that he had finally gotten rid of the other party, there would not be any enemies in the Garton Star System that could pose a threat in the near future. Furthermore, he was in cahoots with Godora, so his base was basically safe.
Thus, his mood was very good and relaxed. He felt that the sun was so bright, and the flowers were so red.
"It has been a few years since I entered the galaxy …"
As he sipped on his wine, Han Xiao could not help but think about his experiences in the galaxy.
He had established the Black Star Mercenary Group, fought everywhere, submitted to the Dragon Emperor, and used her as a backer to deal with the various large organizations. He had started accumulating his strength in Version 1.0, returned to Planet Aquamarine after Version 2.0 started, and carried out the plan to recruit players. During this period, he had started working together with Godora, solved the Mutation Disaster, and single-handedly destroyed DarkStar …
Now, he had finally accumulated enough strength to gain a foothold in the sea of stars.
"The next step is to rise."
Han Xiao drank a mouthful of wine, and his expression changed. All kinds of thoughts appeared in his mind.
…
After resting for a while, an upper echelon of the War Bureau came to the official guest house and invited all the Army Commanders for a meeting.
Han Xiao had also received the notice. He put on a handsome windbreaker, combed his hair, and walked into the conference room while humming a song. He immediately saw Underworld Feather and Gureja. These two were the first to arrive.
He sat down and started chatting with the two of them. Gureja liked to touch the thighs of others while chatting, and Underworld Feather also ate non-stop while chatting. After chatting for a while, the other Army Commanders arrived one after another.
After everyone had arrived, a Godoran dressed in old-school attire walked into the room. This person was an upper echelon of the War Bureau, and Han Xiao had communicated with him many times through the communicator. Thus, he immediately recognized him in person.
The upper echelon of the War Bureau gave an official speech and expressed his gratitude to everyone before explaining the matters to take note of during the celebration. Most of the upper echelons of Godora would be present, including the highest leader, Serbia the Fifth. The celebration was extremely formal, and there were many rules that had to be followed.
The dozen or so Army Commanders present were all heads of large escort agencies in their own territories, but this was also the first time they were participating in an official celebration of a Star System Civilization. Even though they were extremely strong and arrogant, they did not dare act recklessly in the face of such a huge event. They listened to the instructions with a solemn expression.
The meeting ended very quickly, and the various Army Commanders stood up and prepared to leave.
Right at this moment, the upper echelon of the War Bureau suddenly called out to Han Xiao.
"Black Star, come with me. Serbia the Fifth invites you to a meeting."
Pa!
All the Army Commanders stopped in their tracks and turned around to stare at Han Xiao with shock on their faces.
The highest leader of Godora was the leader of a Star System Civilization, and he was a true bigshot. His status, influence, and influence far exceeded the large mercenary groups like them. They would only be able to get close to Serbia the Fifth during the celebration …
However, such a bigshot wanted to meet Black Star in private?
They were all Army Commanders, so why did he get special treatment?
Han Xiao raised his brows and was not surprised. He nodded and said, "I understand. Let's go."
As the commanders watched the two of them leave, they exchanged glances with each other, their eyes filled with bewilderment.
There must be something fishy going on!
Godora had not publicized the information yet, and the Army Commanders did not know that Han Xiao was the key person in obtaining victory. His contributions were different from theirs.
…
After a few twists and turns, they entered the political core building. After going through a series of permissions, they arrived at the highest leader's office and met with Serbia the Fifth.
Serbia the Fifth stood up, extended his hand, and said with a warm tone, "Black Star, how was your rest?"
"Pretty good."
Han Xiao shook hands with him and exchanged some pleasantries.
There was also an upper echelon of the War Bureau beside him. The three of them sat down and chatted for a while before getting to the main topic.
"Black Star, your intelligence helped us destroy DarkStar." Serbia the Fifth did not put on any airs. He kept his smile and said with a solemn tone, "I thank you on behalf of the people of Godora. Godora will remember your contributions."
"As a citizen of the Garton Star System, this is what I should do. It was just a small task," Han Xiao said humbly.
"As for your award ceremony, it will be a little more grand. We will be awarding you the 'Golden Gal Medal', which is the highest level of honor in Godora. We have only given out thirty-two of them to date."
"I'm really flattered." Han Xiao raised his brows.
"This is what you deserve. As for the reward that you requested, we have already prepared it."
The moment Serbia the Fifth finished his sentence, the upper echelon of the War Bureau took out his communicator and projected the models of two different spaceships.
"Fifty Violent Falcon Grade battleships with both assault and defense capabilities. One Fortress-class flagship, a galactic aircraft carrier. The hull of the battleship is made of high-strength alloy and is extremely tough. These fifty-one battleships are brand new and are currently stored in the military warehouse. They can be handed over to you at any time. "
According to the requirements, these two battleships were purely technological and not produced by Godora.
Including this batch of battleships, Han Xiao had a total of sixty to seventy spaceships, and his fleet was finally of a certain scale.
Han Xiao browsed through the specifications of the various spaceships and nodded his head. Godora had not fooled him, and these two spaceships were not bad models. This was especially so for the Fortress-class flagship, which was priced at more than 10,000,000 Enas. Among all the spaceships, the flagship, main ship, and mothership were the most expensive.
Just these fifty-one battleships alone would be worth tens of millions of Enas.
After confirming that there were no problems with the spaceships, the upper echelon of the War Bureau continued.
"The balance of 15,000,000 Enas has been transferred to your account. Take a look at it."
As expected, a notification appeared on the communicator. Han Xiao looked at the balance and used his strong willpower to control his expression so that he did not burst out laughing.
The balance of 15,000,000 Enas and the 3,400,000 Enas for the war employment meant that he had more than 28,000,000 Enas in his bank account!
This was a huge profit!
"As for the Super Knowledges that you requested, we can provide five of them. This is the list."
Han Xiao took a look. The Super Knowledges that a Star System Civilization had were naturally more comprehensive than the black market, and some of them could not be found on the black market. Now that they were placed in front of him for him to choose, it saved him a lot of time. However, the highest level on the list was only High-End Knowledges.
Without any hesitation, Han Xiao chose the High-End Knowledge of the Mechanic class that he had yet to learn.
Armed Branch — [High-End Material Technology], the core knowledge of the Mechanic class. The most obvious effect of researching and developing materials with higher strength was to greatly increase the armor value of all machinery!
Energy Branch — [Super Nano Force], increase the basic attributes of mechanical suits and robots. Combined with [High-End Material Technology], it could create high-grade memory alloys that could automatically recover armor value. At the same time, after learning the blueprints of nanomachines, it could even give machines the ability to transform!
Energy Branch — [High Energy Weaponization], combined with [High Energy Control], it could fuse many powerful mechanical weapons!
Control Branch — [Galactic Navigation Technology], the prerequisite knowledge to independently build a spaceship!
Control Branch — [Advanced Quantum Entanglement], greatly increase the energy and information transmission distance, increase the efficiency and range of Virtual Intrusion!
The upper echelons of the War Bureau pulled out the information from their database and sent it to Han Xiao's communicator.
Han Xiao suppressed the urge to immediately invest his Potential Points to learn.
The profits from selling the intelligence were basically in his hands, and all that was left was for Godora to announce his contributions during the official celebration to increase their reputation.
The result of this cooperation could be said to be a joyous one for both the host and the guest.
After chatting for a while longer, Han Xiao stood up and bade farewell, following the upper echelons of the War Bureau to the door of his office. At this moment, Han Xiao suddenly had a thought, and he secretly threw an Observer's Mark on Serbia the Fifth.
The highest leader of the Star System would often deal with confidential matters, and he might be able to obtain some confidential information by spying on Serbia the Fifth.
It was definitely not because he was curious about the private life of the leader of a Star System Civilization!
…
The next day, Han Xiao rented a machinery modification room.
Being on the Godoran mother planet, he did not have to waste time on transportation. He directly purchased the core materials needed to build the new mechanical suit from the War Bureau — Kyle Alloy, PR-909 Super Nano Polymer Fiber, and refined Ophaga Metal.
Three types of extremely expensive controlled materials, and Godora only wanted to buy them at cost price, which still cost him more than 100,000 Enas.
Coincidentally, he had obtained five new knowledges the day before. Among them, [High Tier Material Technology], [Super Nano Force], and [Advanced Quantum Entanglement Applications] had all been upgraded to Lv.5. He had spent a total of 51 Potential Points.
His Potential Points were finally showing signs of a shortage, and the moment he opened up his knowledge, his Potential Points would be expended extremely quickly.
Han Xiao used the new knowledge to perfect the mechanical suit blueprint, and at the same time, he invested experience to upgrade the blueprint to Lv.10.
This time, he was filled with ambition, and he was prepared to build a new mechanical suit that was suitable for Grade A.
