"Tsk …" Han Xiao felt his scalp go numb.
It had been a while since they last met, and this guy was still so good at sucking up. He even learned a new posture and sucked up to the point … Just by watching the beginning, Han Xiao could already guess what this episode would be about.
As expected, Pork Bun pretended to be his own monologue at the beginning to build up the atmosphere. Then, the scene changed and started to describe his deeds from the time when he was Black Phantom. Although the Galaxy Times feature was a similar character inventory, Pork Bun's style was different. Most of the time, he used first-person narration and edited the material from many previous episodes together to create a strong sense of story.
The first-person narration made the video feel very immersive. Pork Bun narrated all kinds of deeds from Han Xiao's perspective, creating a sense of personal experience and making the audience feel as if they were there.
One of the characteristics of the first-person narration was that it was through the tone of 'Black Star' himself, expressing his inner thoughts and making the audience's impression of him clearer.
Han Xiao had always maintained a sense of propriety in his interactions with the players. What he showed was all superficial behavior, so the players' understanding of him was always separated by a layer of membrane, and they could not know his inner thoughts. However, Pork Bun wanted to use this episode to give a 'real' personality to the image of Black Star in the players' hearts!
The reason he did this was to further solidify his position as the ace video series of the Black Star Army. He wanted this episode to become a classic that the future generations could not avoid if they wanted to understand Black Star. Through reasoning, analysis, and imagination, coupled with a strong sense of immersion, he created a vivid image for the character he loved, making the character seem more real in the eyes of the players.
To the players, this type of character theme was not unfamiliar. They liked to give more direct personality symbols to NPCs. After all, the NPCs could not see them, so they could talk about them however they wanted.
Pork Bun's analysis was based on Han Xiao's deeds over the years. From his perspective, he interpreted Black Star's reasons and motives, beautified his image, and dissected his personality. However, the players liked this very much.
From the time of Black Star until now, the audience felt like they were experiencing Black Star's thoughts from the first-person perspective. Pork Bun edited a few of Han Xiao's public speeches, and along the way, Pork Bun gave him a lot of positive personality labels, such as ambitious, nostalgic for his home planet, loyal, trustworthy, decisive, bold, careful, and so on.
"What the f * ck, you're licking him too much." Bun-Hit-Dog praised him to the skies as if he was the epitome of a thousand positive qualities. Even Han Xiao himself was embarrassed.
Even if you want to bootlick, you still have to follow the basic rules. You're too ridiculous!
Although it's quite comfortable …
The image that Pork Bun created was far from his actual self, but the benefits were obvious. Only the players themselves could use this method to create a clear image for him. With such a top paparazzi, it was beneficial to increase his personal charm to the players. There were obviously more comments on Pork Bun's side than the Galaxy Times. A lot of people on the screen were praising the Army Commander.
At the end of the show, Pork Bun emphasized the rise of the Black Star Corps in the future of the Star Field. At the same time, he threw out a new guess.
"The secret war is the main storyline in our eyes, but in my opinion, this might just be the background on the surface. What's hidden in the dark is the real main storyline of this storyline, and that is the rise of the Black Star Corps!"
"The secret war is actually the background of Black Star's advancement to Beyond Grade A and the rise of the army in the Star Field!"
This guess was approved by the majority of the army players. They still remembered that in the previous version, the Black Star Corps was far from its current size. However, as soon as Version 3.0 started, the Black Star Corps, which had gone through ten years of war, was reborn and grasped the opportunity of the war to develop.
Now that Black Star had ended the secret war, the rise of the Black Star Corps was more like the real main storyline, overshadowing the secret war and turning it into the background.
After looking around, most of the army players thought so. Han Xiao's eyes sparkled.
This was a chance to directly implement his plan of turning the secret war history into a dungeon.
…
The next day, the army players received an unexpected gift.
All the players who participated in the secret war had the army assistant program on their communicator informing them that they had received the honorary title [Secret Combatant]. This was a title that was displayed in the army's personal resume, and it was the army's recognition of them.
This was a title that belonged to the faction and had nothing to do with the interface. However, the players with this title would always enjoy a ten percent discount in the army!
The players who participated in the war were pleasantly surprised, not only because of the ten percent discount but also because of this honor. There was only one secret war, and this title would only be released once. It was an out-of-print faction title, representing that they had witnessed the rise of the army. This was an honor that proved that they were veterans.
At the same time, the faction store released a large number of [Secret War] Dungeon Crystals, including many battles, which ran through the ten-year process that the players had not experienced.
Dungeons had always been one of the favorite products of the players, and they were all very interested in them. These secret war dungeons were obviously a series, similar to [Six Nations and Germinal Organization], suitable for their current level. The players thought that this was a characteristic of a growth faction. After completing a big main storyline, the Black Star Corps would be able to create a corresponding series of dungeons. They were already used to this.
Other than farming dungeons for rewards, the secret war series dungeons could help the players understand the development of the Black Star Corps in the ten years after the version update. Entering the dungeon and experiencing it personally would be more detailed than the historical records.
Han Xiao had another reason for doing this. The secret war main storyline had ended, and the players had entered the free exploration period. Throwing out a large number of dungeons at this time would give them something new to do to pass the time of this main storyline. When the Red Empire gave the order to develop the Flickering World, he would lead the Black Star Corps to explore the Flickering World. By then, he would have plenty of things to do.
The Flickering World was the storyline of the next version. After the initial development of the Red Empire, the various Star Fields were allowed to participate in the exploration. To the players, it was like a world server, where they gathered to explore the unknown and compete for resources. He would bring the army players in early in Version 3.0 to seize the opportunity.
Currently, Han Xiao could only wait and focus on expanding the army. He wanted to obtain enough benefits from the skyrocketing influence during this period. The Evolution Cube would remain a rare commodity for the time being, making the many civilizations in the Colton Star Cluster itchy.
With the addition of a large number of new members, the personnel changes within the army became more frequent. These chores were handled by Philip and Sylvia, so he did not have to worry about them.
…
Half a month had passed, and most of the new members who were willing to join were recruited. The expansion of the Black Star Corps was gradually taking shape.
All the troops of the Bloodshed Land had also returned to the Sol Cluster through the stargate.
"Your Excellency Tyrant, what should we do next?"
Hearing Joad's careful question, Heber turned around.
After being humiliated the last time, he had been keeping a low profile during this period and silently watched the Black Star Corps expand.
His reputation as the Tyrant had been used as a stepping stone by Han Xiao, and his prestige had been greatly reduced. Such an outcome was far from what he had expected.
However, Black Star had become an ally, and it was impossible for them to use him as a target to establish their prestige. The Red Empire had ordered them to reconcile.
Heber was silent for a while before slowly saying, "Send an invitation to the various organizations in the Shattered Star Ring for me. Call for a new gathering."
"Then, Black Star …" Joad's heart skipped a beat.
Heber did not look at Joad's expression and turned around. "Since he's the fifth Beyond Grade A in the Shattered Star Ring, of course, he has the qualifications to be invited."
