The news was getting more and more sensational, and many galactic reporters were stunned. Han Xiao smiled upon seeing this. He had achieved his goal.
Using the Dark-star leader to gain a wave of faction contribution points, using the new battle results to gain a wave of reputation, and then pushing the blame to Klent … no, this time, it was most likely real.
Glancing at the shocked reporters, Han Xiao nodded to himself.
With these channels, the shocking news will probably be released in less than an hour.
Han Xiao, Godora, and Purple Crystal finished announcing the news and got down to business. Han Xiao officially handed over the Dark-star leader to Serbia the Fifth's men, and a series of notifications appeared on his interface. His Favorability with Godora was already through the roof. The Golden Gal Badge from a few years ago had solidified his relationship with Godora to [Reverence], and it could not go any higher.
On the other hand, Serbia the Fifth's Favorability with him went straight to the limit of 100. Han Xiao could feel that Serbia the Fifth was looking at him with admiration, trust, and love, as if he was saying with his eyes, 'Quickly build a strong bond with me, brother.'
Just as Han Xiao had expected, he also gained some Legendary Points. However, it was not a new Legendary Point but an old one. Originally, [Destroyer of Dark-star] was only a Star System Legendary Point. Now that it had been upgraded to Star Cluster Legendary Point, the percentage of rewards for various missions had increased greatly.
The reward quota had always been very important. This was the function of the NPC template. It did not consume their own experience and used the quota to provide missions to the players. Han Xiao had always used the players as a middleman and used the reward quota to fertilize the players every day. He then used various methods to earn back the reward quota that he could not use to increase his harvest.
However, in Version 2.0, Han Xiao's faction reward quota was not enough. At that time, the size of the Black Star Corps had not reached a million, and their territory was basically limited to Godora's territory.
However, things were different now. It had only been three years since the update, and the Black Star Corps had expanded by hundreds of times. Han Xiao's Faction Reward Quota had also skyrocketed. Now, it was countless times more than what it was in Version 2.0. If the Black Star Corps continued to grow until Version 3.0, not to mention one million players, he could even feed three million players.
Coincidentally, Version 3.0 was also the period when the number of players in his previous life exploded.
Han Xiao had always felt that the reward quota was also an overall evaluation of oneself. The higher one's strength and influence, the higher the reward quota. It was like an indirect evaluation of one's influence.
The handover ceremony was brief. Han Xiao invited Serbia the Fifth for a private meeting. The two of them left the dock, and the press conference came to an end. The galactic reporters were very satisfied with the results and felt that the trip was worthwhile. The crowd also dispersed.
Brock was in a daze. He followed the flow of people and walked aimlessly like a zombie.
The Dark-star leader was the last hope of the organization. Seeing that the leader had been captured, Brock knew that the organization had been completely destroyed. He was suddenly at a loss.
The hidden sense of mission for the rise of the Dark-star was the direction of his life and the motivation for him to work hard. However, now that the organization that he had fought for was destroyed, Brock did not know what to do in the future. He had lost his goal.
Maybe, the mission of the leader should be inherited by me. The future of the hybrid Godora … should be taken care of by me! Brock's heart suddenly burned. He felt as if he had found his goal in life.
His numb eyes gradually regained their luster. A determined look appeared on Brock's face.
Yes, I'm the last Dark-star. As long as I'm still here, then …
Before he could regain his faith, Herlous walked over and saw Brock. He knew this employee who had been praised by the entire army. He said, "Brock, the army is going to promote a batch of newbies. Arrange a large-scale test for the training camp as soon as possible. The reserve members who pass can all become regular members."
"Understood!" Before Brock's brain could process what was going on, his body instinctively stood up straight and listened to the order.
After Herlous left, Brock fell from his beautiful imagination back to the cold reality. His back, which had just straightened for a few seconds, collapsed again. He gave off the aura of a "dead heart".
Inheriting the mission of Dark-star was not bad, but Godora was no longer what it used to be. It had the protection of the Black Star Corps.
Once he thought of this, Brock's lofty ambitions instantly vanished.
Sigh, what's the point of changing my life? I'm probably tired of living. Anyway, I'm already in the shape of Black Star. I'll just work honestly …
It's not that I don't want to be frivolous, but life has smoothed out my edges.
"Maybe all of this is fate's choice."
Brock sighed and made up his mind … to accept his fate.
…
In a private meeting room, Han Xiao and Serbia the Fifth sat opposite each other.
"Your Excellency Black Star, you've really given me a surprise. Without a leader, Dark-star is completely gone, and the conflicts between pure-bloods and hybrids in the country can be lessened. At least no one will try to sow discord anymore."
Serbia the Fifth's tone was sincere and respectful. Now that Han Xiao's position in the Shattered Star Ring was different from before, he did not dare to be casual.
Han Xiao nodded. "I've gotten rid of a huge problem for you. I have a small request. I hope that during the trial, you'll try your best to cooperate with Purple Crystal. This is a good opportunity to deal a political blow to Klent. Although the secret war has nothing to do with you, I still hope that you can cooperate."
"Of course, this is what we should do!" Serbia the Fifth had a dutiful expression. Even if Han Xiao did not ask, he would have cooperated. After all, Purple Crystal was the leader of the Star Cluster that they had to curry favor with.
"Hmm, there's actually something more important that I'm looking for you for this time." Han Xiao stroked his chin. "The news of Dark-star's destruction can lessen the internal conflicts among Godora people, but it can't solve the root of the problem. The conflicts between pure-bloods and hybrids will not be eliminated because of this. In the future, there will still be extremists who will inherit Dark-star's legacy and rebel against you."
Serbia the Fifth sighed. "I know, but the superiority of bloodline is more difficult to eradicate than the system. This is a tradition that has been passed down for countless years. There have been so many former leaders in history, but no one can solve this problem. They can only slow it down, but they can't cure it completely."
"That might not be the case." Han Xiao's lips curled up. "I have an idea that might be able to further weaken the bloodline conflicts. Are you interested?"
"You have an idea?" Serbia the Fifth hesitated. "Of course I'm interested, but this is not a problem that can be solved by human strength."
"Hehe, I recently made a friend. Her name is Rossellin …"
Han Xiao described Rossellin's experience and ability. Although he did not say it directly, Serbia the Fifth already understood what Han Xiao was trying to say. He wanted to use Rossellin's ability to brainwash Godora people and change their beliefs. Rossellin was an extremely useful tool to deal with deep-rooted traditions.
Serbia the Fifth opened his mouth wide and looked at Han Xiao in shock. He could not believe that his suggestion was so bold. This was telling the leader of a civilization that he wanted to brainwash their entire civilization!
You, you bastard … aren't you too polite?
As the highest leader, this kind of excessive request was almost unthinkable. Serbia the Fifth opened his mouth and was about to reject it, but he suddenly thought of something. He frowned and closed his mouth.
While brainwashing an entire civilization was extremely sensitive, it seemed to be able to quickly resolve the deep-rooted bloodline conflict. Serbia the Fifth was both tempted and repulsed. According to the normal method, the bloodline conflict might never be resolved, but with such an unconventional method, the moment something went wrong, it would be an earth-shattering event that involved all Godorans.
If someone else had made this request, Serbia the Fifth would have rejected it without hesitation. However, the person who made this request was the deeply trusted Black Star. Therefore, Serbia the Fifth did not reject it immediately. Instead, he fell into a dilemma.
"This is too risky …"
"You don't trust me?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. "How about this, we can apply for a private notarization from the Amethyst Civilization. This will prevent me from having any other intentions."
"But can you ensure that Rossellin won't do anything rash?"
"Based on my understanding of her, she won't do anything like that." Han Xiao shook his head.
[Bloodline] was the only S-grade mission in the interface. Originally, he did not have many clues, but now that he had Rossellin, it was equivalent to finding a way to clear the mission. It was worth a try.
It was necessary to discuss with Serbia the Fifth directly. Otherwise, the consequences of brainwashing a Star System Civilization protected by the 'Peace Treaty' would be unimaginable. Han Xiao did not need this mission, so he would only carry out this plan with the approval of the government. Furthermore, brainwashing openly would be much more efficient than doing it secretly.
Seeing that Serbia the Fifth was still hesitating, Han Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "I know what you're worried about. As the leader of a civilization, you want to help an outsider brainwash your own people. Even if your goal is good, this behavior is very sensitive and violates your duty. However, you don't have to use forced brainwashing. You can give the Godora people the right to choose."
Serbia the Fifth fell into deep thought. Indeed, this was what he was worried about.
"You can announce this to all the people directly. Of course, you can't use the word 'brainwashing'. You have to find a better excuse, such as instilling the belief that everyone is equal. Emphasize that it's to solve the bloodline conflict and downplay the possible bad results.
Then, introduce all kinds of related welfare systems, such as new privileges for those who accept the brainwashing, more taxes for those who don't accept the brainwashing, or turning the bloodline conflict into a new class conflict. Use public opinion to claim that those who don't accept the brainwashing are stubborn and backward people. You can even replan the colonial planets and force those who don't accept the brainwashing to live together, build spiritual ghettos, and so on. Anyway, there are many ways. You're a professional leader, and you know how to play better than me. You can think about it yourself. "
Han Xiao's persuasion was like the devil's bewitchment to Serbia the Fifth, but he just could not make up his mind to refuse. This man's suggestion was so damn sweet.
Serbia the Fifth could be like his predecessors and not deal with the conflict of bloodlines. No one would say anything if he didn't want to make any contributions.
However, he also saw an opportunity because of this. Once he accomplished what countless predecessors had failed to do, he would become one of the most brilliant leaders in history. This was an unprecedented achievement!
Serbia the Fifth gritted his teeth. "I … I'll go back and think about it. This is too important. I can't make a decision now."
"You should."
Han Xiao smiled but did not say anything.
He did not intend to persuade Serbia the Fifth all at once. Even if Serbia the Fifth's selfishness was triggered, he would not dare mess around with the entire civilization. He would definitely go back and gather the think tanks for brainstorming. Without careful consideration, he would definitely not agree to it.
After sending away the conflicted Serbia the Fifth, Han Xiao did not rest but rushed to the machinery modification room and started building machines behind closed doors.
"After working so long for the silver legacy blueprint, I can finally reap the rewards!"
