The day of the Pro League was getting closer and closer, and almost all the players had gathered on the planet. Even if they were not participants, they could participate in the event as spectators. This was a large-scale event that everyone could participate in, and the players who loved a lively atmosphere would not miss it.
The uninhabited planet that was used as the venue was bustling with activity. Spaceships came and went, and the entire planet was used as the battlefield. The official players and volunteer players built many arenas and scenes. Continuing the style of the previous Pro League, the players were allowed to participate in the construction of the venue to increase the sense of immersion. Many players who chose to be spectators were more than willing to help.
The casual players were busy preparing the venue on the planet, and the participating players used the remaining time to strengthen themselves, upgrade their equipment, and level up their skills.
Han Xiao brought a fleet with a flagship as the core to transport the various resources in the warehouse to the planet. When the Black Star Corps fleet appeared, the players on the planet were shocked. They did not know why the army fleet had appeared.
After the fleet arrived, they stopped outside the atmosphere. Many players entered the flagship out of curiosity and found that Han Xiao was there as well.
Some players asked, and Han Xiao's explanation was very simple.
"According to the intelligence, a large number of mercenaries of the army gathered on an uninhabited planet for no reason. This made me very confused. I thought that you guys had encountered some trouble, so I came over to take a look."
This reason was both reasonable and unexpected. Many players felt that it was very interesting.
The players were already used to the feedback of the NPCs. All their actions would affect the judgment of the NPCs and the evolution of Galaxy. This kind of feedback mechanism often made the players addicted to it.
As a member of the Black Star Corps, the gathering of hundreds of thousands of people had alerted the faction leader to come over for an inspection. This was a new and interesting experience for the players.
In terms of character interaction, some players liked to role-play and communicate with the NPCs according to the game so that they would not fall out of character. There were also players who liked to be straightforward and directly admitted to Han Xiao that they wanted to participate in the competition.
"Since that's the case, I also want to see how much my mercenaries have grown. I happen to have nothing else to do for the time being …" Han Xiao used a natural tone to give an excuse for staying, pretending to ignore the words' Pro League 'that the players were talking about. His words hinted that he was treating this as a large-scale sparring event.
Most of the players didn't suspect anything. They didn't think that there would be NPC spectators in the Pro League. They felt that it would be more fun.
After discovering that the fleet also provided supplies, equipment repair, and potions purchase, the players were overjoyed. There was a supply station right next to them, making it convenient for everyone.
The happiest were the club players. They were rich, and Black Star's supply depot allowed them to adjust their tactics flexibly. They didn't have to go to other planets to buy equipment, which saved them a lot of time.
Han Xiao was here to join in the fun, so he wasn't worried about the players' suspicions. As long as he didn't remind them, normal people wouldn't think in that direction.
Regardless of how low the possibility of players suspecting NPCs was, even if they did, it would be useless. He had been running wild for so long without any trouble. If there was a problem, it would have happened long ago. He didn't directly interfere with the Pro League, so he didn't panic at all.
…
Three days later, the highly anticipated second Pro League officially began!
The qualifiers were the first stage. This was the appetizer before the main course. Countless players who were either playing around or had the ability to compete, under the arrangement of the tournament staff, formed teams to fight for the right to compete in the regular season.
As the venue was much larger, compared to the first Pro League, the qualifiers were much shorter.
On the forums, the Pro League officials released highlights of the qualifiers from each division. The topic of the second Pro League completely dominated the forums, and posts with other content were quickly pushed to the back.
Tens of millions of players from various countries were passionately discussing the top teams, seeded players, and dark horses in each division.
In China, the home teams of the Big Four all had direct tickets to the regular season and didn't participate in the qualifiers. The ones that received the most attention were the other top teams, such as Thunder Storm, Fanatics, and so on.
Frenzied Sword's Rivervale Battle Team had also attracted a lot of attention. They eliminated one team after another in the preliminary round, breaking through all obstacles like a hot knife through butter.
In the Singles competition, only King Admiral, Mad Blade, and a few others who made it to the internationals had direct tickets to the regular season and didn't need to participate in the most competitive individual qualifiers.
Because the team qualifiers required teammates, anyone could sign up for the individual qualifiers. Most players wanted to give it a try, so the number of people who signed up was the highest. Almost everyone was participating.
Compared to Version 1.0, the strength of the players was much stronger. There were more styles and styles, and the fights were more intense and exciting. There were many different abilities, and it was too much for the eyes to take in.
Ever since entering the galaxy, the players had also come into contact with the Mage and Psychic classes. Some of the newer players or old players with new accounts chose these two classes. All the divisions had five Super classes, but there was a difference in the ratio. The classes that only appeared in Version 2.0 naturally had the least number of players.
However, compared to his previous life, the situation had changed. Originally, the proportion of Mechanic class players was second to last, even surpassed by the Mage class players. Now, however, the number of Mechanic class players was second to none, second only to the Pugilist class.
The reason for this was that Han Xiao had tricked a large number of players into becoming Mechanic class players in Version 1.0.
Another intuition that Han Xiao had was that the average strength of the Chinese players in this division was much higher than in his previous life. He had allowed Blue Star to enter the galaxy one or two years earlier. Be it in terms of experience, money, or battle experience, the Shattered Star Ring division had more advantages than in his previous life. The rich resources provided a strong support for the tactical choices of the teams. Any team that could be called had above average combat strength.
The second season of the Pro League was unprecedentedly grand. The entire planet was a battlefield, and the qualifiers and the secondary Pro League were in full swing. The competition was shorter than the first season, so it was more intense.
More than ten days later, the qualifiers finally came to an end in a festive atmosphere, and the Regular Season roster of each division was released.
The roster of the other divisions was not much different from in his previous life, but in the Shattered Star Ring division, there were obvious changes. The strong teams did not have much of a problem, and they all qualified like in his previous life. The only changes were some of the lower spots, as many new teams and players had appeared.
There was one person that surprised Han Xiao. Maple Moon, who was supposed to participate in the third season of the Pro League, not only did she participate in this season, she even made it into the sixty-four players in the Singles competition, becoming one of the dark horses.
Han Xiao had watched the video of Maple Moon's qualifiers. She had been hanging out with Mad Blade and Hao Tian, and her skills had improved very quickly. She had the potential to become a professional player, or else she would not have made it in his previous life.
However, compared to his previous life, Maple Moon's skills were still lacking. One of the main reasons she had made it into the Singles competition was because she had used the blueprint that she had bought from Han Xiao to build the poor version of the Void Dragon mechanical suit. Originally, in the third season of the Pro League, the Mechanic class had only started to gain the advantage of the version and started to rise. Although the Mechanic class was not weak, it was not strong. A mechanical suit that could be considered godly at this level, although it was far from being able to crush the first-rate players, it had increased Maple Moon's tolerance for mistakes.
As the saying went, every version was a god. In Version 2.0, the Mechanic class was still not strong, but with Han Xiao, the Great Teacher, the Mechanic class players did not have to take many detours. At least in the Shattered Star Ring division, the disadvantage of the Mechanic class was not so obvious.
In the Singles competition, there were almost ten more Mechanic players than in his previous life. In terms of the battle teams, the Mechanic class was also a tactical member that most teams needed.
Han Xiao had earned a lot in the qualifiers. Not to mention the equipment sales, almost all the players were using Black Star's mechanical equipment. He had also earned a lot from the gene potions, and the club teams had purchased them in large quantities. The gene potions had a good tactical effect and could become an X factor in battles. If not for the fact that he had enough stock, the club would have probably bought all of his gene potions.
Using the business opportunity of the Pro League, Han Xiao's savings had broken through a small target.
Everyone participated in the qualifiers, and the Regular Season was the main course.
…
The impact of Han Xiao's recent large-scale operation had yet to fade, and many organizations were still paying attention to the Black Star Corps' every move.
A large number of 'Black Star Mercenaries' had gathered on the competition planet, and this abnormal movement had attracted the attention of many organizations. They were secretly guessing Han Xiao's motive.
When some of the mercenaries in the same industry heard the news, they were envious. This incident had indirectly shown the control that Black Star had over the army. Most mercenary groups did not have any loyalty, and Black Star had millions of 'fellow countrymen' under his command. They were very united and were willing to follow Black Star's orders without spending any money. This was much more reliable than freelance mercenaries.
Many organizations felt that Black Star already had the conditions and would have the opportunity to change from a mercenary group to a private armed organization in the future.
Because of the previous incident, Section Zero had gained many helpers, and the Black Star Corps had entered the eyes of many of the upper echelons of the Amethyst Civilization.
Their faction relationship was only a few hundred points away from reaching Respect.
This incident had also attracted the attention of the Amethyst Civilization.
"Black Star has gathered more than eighty percent of the Black Star Corps mercenaries to fight on an uninhabited planet. What is he doing?"
In Section Zero's office, many foreign affairs emissaries were discussing this matter.
Ralph knocked on the table and smiled confidently.
"There's only one explanation. Black Star is training his soldiers!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they nodded in agreement.
Ralph was full of smiles. In his opinion, this was the Black Star Corps preparing for the secret war.
