Han Xiao lowered his head to take a look. Looking down from the sky, the surface of the battlefield was cracked like a biscuit that had been crushed. There were also two huge craters and smoke that had yet to disperse from the explosion.
Slowly flying back to the ground, Han Xiao put away the Void Dragon and returned to his original attire.
Jayne and Gadeli approached him. Both of them were covered in dust, especially Jayne. His body was full of wounds, and his messy chest hair was still dancing.
"Black Star, did you kill that woman?" Jayne asked impatiently.
"No, she escaped." Han Xiao shook his head.
"Her target was you. Do you know who that woman is?"
"Not sure. This is the first time I was attacked by her."
Han Xiao knew Shana's name, but there was no need to tell the two of them.
The two of them were furious. They had encountered an unexpected disaster. All of their subordinates had been wiped out, and the fleet that they had painstakingly built was gone. They were greatly hurt.
However, they could not blame Black Star either. Black Star was also confused and had no intention of tricking them. Furthermore, Black Star's combat power and status were not something they could compare to. The two of them could only admit that they were unlucky and depressed.
Although Jayne and Gadeli were in a bad mood, they were amazed by Shana's combat power. Even three Calamity Grades could not hold her back. If not for Black Star's burst of power at the critical moment, the two of them would not have been able to defeat the enemy.
The three of them rested after the battle and communicated for a while. Finally, Dottle called and asked about the situation.
"What's wrong? What happened just now?"
"An unknown Esper who seems to be A + suddenly attacked me. Her origin is unknown …"
Han Xiao explained and asked the people of the Amethyst Civilization to help him investigate.
"No problem. We will thoroughly investigate the other party's identity. If there is a result, I will inform you."
Dottle agreed solemnly. He then said to the three of them, "We are still preparing to form an alliance. There will probably be new movements this year. When the time comes, we will gather all the partners. Please be prepared at all times."
The three of them had no objections. After a while, they ended the call with Dottle.
Han Xiao put away his communicator and looked at the two of them. "What do you plan to do next?"
The two of them smiled bitterly.
"We're really unlucky." Gadeli sighed.
Jayne said helplessly, "Go back and recruit more people, buy more warships, and hopefully make up for the losses this time."
Hearing this, Han Xiao immediately had an idea. These two were both powerful Grade A Supers, and their organization had suffered heavy losses. Perhaps he could try to recruit them.
"Actually, you can join my Black Star Corps. With your strength, you won't have any problems becoming the vice-captain. I sincerely invite you to join us."
Han Xiao smiled and extended an invitation.
The two of them stared blankly at each other for a moment. They looked at each other with contemplative looks on their faces. After a while, they replied.
"Thank you for your invitation, but I don't intend to join any other forces for the time being," Jayne declined politely.
"I still prefer to build my own faction. Sorry." Gadeli shook his head.
"It's fine. My invitation is valid for a long time. When you are interested, we can talk about it at any time."
Han Xiao did not mind and was not too disappointed.
The difficulty of recruiting a Calamity Grade Super was far greater than recruiting a Grade B Super. Every Grade A Super had the qualifications to dominate an area. Strength was often proportional to ambition. Jayne and Gadeli wanted to build their own faction and become the overlord of an area. He was not surprised that they were unwilling to submit to others.
After all, even if a Beyond Grade A Super wanted to recruit a Calamity Grade Super, they might still be rejected. As the high-end individual combat power of the galaxy, they were still very reserved in this aspect, just like a maiden.
"By the way, Black Star, we want to trouble you with something."
Jayne was a little embarrassed and shook his chest hair.
"Just say it." Han Xiao tried his best not to be attracted by Jayne's unique chest hair.
"Er, our spaceships were all destroyed, so …"
Han Xiao laughed and patted Jayne's shoulder. "Don't worry, we're comrades who fought side by side. Take my spaceship. I'll send you to the nearest port planet."
"Haha, sorry to trouble you."
Seeing that Black Star was so easy to talk to, Jayne happily stroked his chest hair. His race valued chest hair for beauty, and a mouthful of well-groomed, smooth chest hair was synonymous with handsome men. It looked just like Guan Yu's beard.
Han Xiao's veins bulged as he forced a smile. "Put on your clothes first … don't drop your hair on my spaceship."
…
Shana's single spaceship turned into a stream of light and shuttled through the universe.
In the cockpit, Shana injected herself with a healing potion. Together with her own recovery ability, the broken bones stuck together and barely regained normal movement. Only then did she send a message to her companions.
Eliot's projection appeared on the screen. He was Shana's Mage companion. They usually moved in pairs.
As soon as the communication was connected, Eliot spoke.
"Shana, did you catch Black Star? Hmm, you don't look good. What happened?"
"I failed."
Shana's face was as calm as water as she briefly explained the process.
"Hahahaha, you're so miserable …"
Not only did Eliot not have a common enemy, but he was also gloating and laughing non-stop.
Shana's face was ugly as she said hatefully, "I'll kill you sooner or later."
After laughing for a while, Eliot stopped and said lightly, "You failed this time. It will make us suspect that we're exposed. All of us will have to keep a low profile for a while."
Shana snorted and did not speak. She did not find an excuse for her failure, but she did not feel ashamed either. A failure was a failure. It was not a big deal to her.
"Black Star's combat ability has been underestimated. Although you did not reveal our information, it made him more vigilant. It will be more difficult to capture him. It's best that we put him aside for now and deal with other targets first."
Eliot said slowly, "Anyway, go back to the headquarters to rest first and meet up with me. We'll discuss the next plan then … Remember to get rid of all the spies. Don't expose our location."
"You don't have to emphasize it."
Shana's tone was cold. She hung up the communication, activated the concealment device, and turned in the direction of the headquarters.
She did not know that a large eyeball was silently watching her from the void.
…
After sending off his future Section Zero teammates, Jayne and Gadeli, Han Xiao did not stop and returned to the Garton Star System. He stopped at the main base of Planet Golden Gate.
The nearby mercenaries saw the landing spaceship and recognized that it was Han Xiao's spaceship. Knowing that their captain had returned from somewhere, they saluted him with their eyes.
The BlackLight Stealth stopped in Han Xiao's personal hangar, and he went straight to the core area of the base. Without hesitation, he went straight to Feidin.
Normally, Feidin would train his psychic energy on the rooftop of the base. When Han Xiao arrived at the rooftop, he immediately saw Feidin, who was sitting cross-legged in midair. Ripples of psychic energy rippled continuously.
Fu Ding closed his eyes and sang a song. His psychic power techniques were inherited from Chen Xing, and he used his psychic power through singing. His lips opened slightly, and the heavenly song was like a fairy in the wind, soothing his fatigue and pain. Han Xiao's mood also calmed down.
His song could surround the entire base and had a buff effect. Players would receive a temporary buff. This was the specialty of Planet Golden Gate's main base. There were buffs to eat when one came here, and Fu Ding was like the background music of a human broadcast.
Fu Ding brought along his elder sister and inherited all the knowledge of Chen Xing. His own talent was also extremely strong, and his strength grew rapidly.
Two years ago, he was already able to suppress Chen Xing on his own. However, he did not leave and stayed in the Black Star Corps to train. Occasionally, he would follow the mercenaries around and lead a colorful life.
Sometimes, he would go out alone and travel to other places. However, in the end, he would return to the Black Star Corps to rest. Han Xiao was very willing to be his backup, as long as he could be touched.
He would give full marks for touching, not zero marks.
However, Fu Ding's personal mission had not been completed yet. Ever since Fu Ding fulfilled his promise and handed Chen Xing's savings of tens of millions to Han Xiao, his relationship with Chen Xing went from ambiguous to cold war.
Han Xiao guessed that when the two of them opened their hearts and opened the door to a new world, they would face the fact that they were perverts who liked to have sexual intercourse. Only then would they become passionately in love and allow him to complete his mission.
There was another person at the corner of the rooftop. Aroshia was sitting by the side and listening to music. Two years ago, Han Xiao had shared the mission of finding a memory location with the players. The results were remarkable in the past two years, and the progress of the mission was very fast. Aroshia liked to listen to Fu Ding's singing, as it could stimulate her to recall more memories.
At this time, seeing Han Xiao, Aroshia's arm turned into energy and gently wrapped around Han Xiao like a ribbon as a greeting.
Sensing Han Xiao's footsteps, Fu Ding stopped singing, turned around, and said with a smile, "Black Star, why are you looking for me?"
"Nothing. You sing your song. I'm just here to test my luck."
Han Xiao walked up and touched Fu Ding. Then, without any hesitation, he turned around and left.
Fu Ding touched his nose and smiled bitterly.
He always felt that Black Star had some misunderstanding about him. Was his luck good? Why didn't he know about it?
First Round completed.
You have received the reward: Draw one of Shana's abilities (Skill/Talent).
Note: Shana is a Special Esper. Some of the available skills have been automatically adjusted according to your class.
Randomizing … complete.
1. [Magnetic Field Vision] – Talent: You have a keen insight into magnetic fields. + 12% Machinery Affinity, + 6% Mechanical Force range.
2. [Magnetic Vortex] – Ability: Control ability. Releases a magnetic force that draws in a huge magnetic field from the outside world. There is a chance to cause [Chaos] to all targets in a certain area. This chance depends on INT and the environment. Costs 160 Energy. Cooldown: 46s.
3. [Electromagnetism – Chaotic Velocity Star] – Skill: Long-range skill. Stacks electromagnetic acceleration on multiple objects, accumulates a huge amount of kinetic energy, and shoots out. Deals 210 – 742 damage to a single object. Number depends on the size of the object and the time it takes to accumulate the electromagnetic force.
4. [Strong Magnetic Field Shield] – Ability: Defensive ability. Strengthening-Type Mechanical Force technique. Form a magnetic field shield within a three-meter radius around yourself. The shield's value is unlimited. Maintaining the shield consumes energy. If the damage received exceeds the critical point in one second, the magnetic field shield will be temporarily shattered. Cooldown: 2.5s. The shattering point depends on the energy consumed per second. The damage received at the critical point will not exceed 22000. Every time the shield receives damage, additional energy will be consumed.
5. [Super Electromagnetic Induction] – Talent: Your 'Magnetic' energy has been strengthened. The energy bonus will change greatly with every level.
These abilities were the result of adjustments. Han Xiao was not surprised because all of Shana's abilities came from her own Esper Ability. It was impossible for him to obtain her Esper Ability. Most of the abilities that increased the strength of his' Magnetic Field Metal Control 'Esper Ability did not have any effect on him.
Luckily, Magnetic Field Metal Control was very compatible with the Mechanic class. Many of the abilities were also very useful to the Mechanic class after adjustments.
Looking at it, there were no particularly eye-catching abilities, but there were also no special traps. Han Xiao felt that this draw was quite normal.
"If I don't touch Fu Ding, I'm afraid I'll get some bad stuff. It seems like Fu Ding's luck neutralizes my bad luck."
