Three thrones floated in the air, and three Beyond Grade As sat on them, surrounding the Red Empire's envoy, Zoel, in the middle.
"What can we get if we help you?"
After thinking for a while, Austin was the first to express his opinion.
Everyone present was a respectable person. Even the Red Empire's envoy could not make empty promises.
Asking for the help of Beyond Grade As with just one sentence without any conditions in exchange, he was not a hooligan.
"A new territory represents an opportunity. If we can use the newly discovered Star Cluster as the starting point of a new Star Field, the areas we explore in the future will all be included in the new Star Field. At that time, the new Star Field might become a Star Field of the same size as the Shattered Star Ring. The potential benefits are huge."
With a wave of his hand, the miniature communicator on his wrist projected a virtual star map, marking the location of the new area.
Beyond the edge of the Shattered Star Ring was an unexplored universe marked in dark colors.
After crossing a long desolate universe belt, a new bright area appeared in the dark area. That was the location of the new Star Cluster marked by the Radiant Federation's exploratory device.
The Galaxy was roughly divided into planets, Star Zones, Star Systems, Star Clusters, and finally the largest Star Field.
The Red Empire wanted the new Star Cluster not only to seize a piece of territory but also to turn it into a bridgehead for their exploration. They defined it as a new border Star Field and included it in the Red Empire's territory. This way, the Red Empire could use it as a starting point to explore and expand the territory of the new Star Field. The areas that were discovered later all belonged to the new Star Field, which was the Red Empire.
The Radiant Federation controlled the Shattered Star Ring, and the Red Empire wanted another border Star Field. They were not willing to let the Radiant Federation monopolize this unexplored universe.
Zoel was explaining the stakes, and Ames and Austin were listening.
Han Xiao's attention, however, was attracted by the new Star Cluster.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the location of the new Star Cluster was a little familiar.
After carefully looking at it for a while, Han Xiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"F * ck, isn't this part of the Flickering World?"
[Flickering World] was the Main Storyline of the later version. It was a brand new Star Field with billions of stars shining brightly, lighting up the dark universe.
The unexplored star fields were rich in resources.
All the players in Galaxy would receive Main Storyline Missions from all over the universe and gather in the Flickering World to explore. There were also countless races and civilizations moving from the known universe into the Flickering World. This was a huge reshuffle of the organizations.
The new Star Cluster that Zoel had shown was part of the Flickering World in Han Xiao's memories, just the tip of the iceberg.
Unexpectedly, the later versions had already begun to show signs.
Han Xiaoxin's mind raced.
"We've only excavated a small area. It'll take many years before we can fully explore it. There's still a long way to go before Version 2.0 …"
In the past, the players had fought for the various organizations and completed exploration missions. This time, they might have a chance to become chess players. Just like what that emissary had said, a new territory was the best opportunity. This might be a chance to reach the top …
Although the Black Star Corps was not strong enough and was much weaker than a colossus like the Bloodshed Land, Han Xiao's biggest advantage was that he had a rough understanding of how things had developed.
In order to obtain the qualifications to set up this plan, he would need a stronger organization. The stronger the organization, the more benefits there would be. Currently, he was far from enough. Thankfully, there were still a few versions left.
Han Xiao could not help but feel a sense of urgency.
The birth of the Flickering World at least meant one thing, which was that the Red Empire had succeeded in the end. They had taken the new Star Cluster from the Radiant Federation and defined it as a new Star Field.
While he was thinking, Zoel had already finished stating the conditions. In conclusion, the Red Empire would give him full support in the dark.
Obtaining the support of a Universal Civilization was a very tempting condition. Although the Radiant Federation controlled the Shattered Star Ring, they rarely came into contact with the organizations in the Shattered Star Ring.
Austin frowned with a serious expression. However, coupled with his young face, he looked very comical and cute.
"I'm not very interested in this kind of thing. I'd rather stay at home.
Researching spells, so … I'm sorry, I want to remain neutral. I can only promise you that I won't help the Radiant Federation. "
After thinking for a while, Austin gave a response. He wanted to stay out of this and remain neutral.
"I understand."
Zoel was not surprised. They were both Beyond Grade As, so it was not good to force him. To be able to get him to remain neutral and not help either side was not a bad result. He had also talked to Heber in detail. This private meeting was mainly to represent the dynasty and reduce the potential helpers of the Radiant Federation.
"What about you, Ames?" Heber asked.
Ames was not very interested in this kind of thing. Just as she was about to follow Austin's example and reject, she suddenly paused and looked at Han Xiao.
"Black Star, what do you think?"
"Hmm?"
Han Xiao was deep in thought when he was suddenly cued. He was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Han Xiao pondered for a few seconds and nodded. "The Red Empire's reputation can naturally be trusted. The envoy is right. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with huge potential benefits. Personally, I feel that the Red Empire's chances of success are more than sixty percent."
Zoel's eyes sparkled, and he smiled. While muttering to himself about when he had bribed this guy, he nodded at Han Xiao and said, "Good taste."
Han Xiao also nodded and continued. "Therefore, I feel that there's no need to be too hasty to reject. This is not a bad thing."
Hearing that, Ames thought for a moment and did not reject directly. Instead, she said, "I'll think about it."
Heber's and Austin's expressions changed slightly.
They had known Ames for many years. At the start, Ames had clearly expressed her intention to reject, but after hearing Han Xiao's suggestion, she immediately changed her mind.
Black Star's importance in the Dragon Emperor's eyes seemed to have exceeded their expectations.
"Not just a fighter, but also an advisor?"
Austin rubbed his chin with his chubby hands and pondered. That's right. With Ames' personality, if she wanted to develop her forces, she would indeed need a reliable advisor. Black Star seemed to be quite capable.
Heber was the most direct. "Black Star, Malekith said that he tried to recruit you, but you rejected him."
Han Xiao's expression changed, and he slowly nodded.
"I rarely try a second time, but I want to ask you again personally."
Heber faced Han Xiao, extended his hand, and said solemnly,
"Black Star, be my subordinate," Han Xiao said.
Boom!
Ames' long hair fluttered in the wind, and her aura filled the entire place.
Her tone was cold.
"You want to poach my people right in front of me. Do you still have me in your eyes?"
The terrifying pressure pressed down on Heber from all directions, but he did not feel it at all. He ignored Ames and only stared at Han Xiao. "Do you accept or reject?"
Han Xiao's mouth twitched.
Oh my god, the NTR in front of everyone made his scalp go numb. He was so overbearing.
He did not expect Heber to personally invite him at this time. This guy does not care about the situation at all. The stronger a Pugilist is, the harder it is to be stubborn!
"Sorry, my answer is still the same." Han Xiao felt like he was being pursued. He suppressed his chaotic emotions and helplessly shook his head.
Heber nodded and did not get angry because of the rejection. It was as if he did not mention this topic and let it go.
He liked talents, but he would not force people who did not want to join him.
The force field was still strengthening. Heber turned to look at Ames. "Why aren't you retracting your Esper Ability? Do you want to fight?"
Ames was expressionless. Her aura gradually rose, and she was on the verge of exploding. She almost threw Aesop's advice out of the window.
Austin had no choice but to intervene to prevent the two from really fighting. He pinched his fingers and cast a series of calming spells on Ames.
"Okay, okay. It's not the first day you know him. Don't mess around."
