"I can provide you with the qualifications to accept the modification, and the conditions for cooperation are very simple."
Han Xiao looked around at the people present, raised his finger, and slowly said, "The first is of course money. You have to pay a sum of Enas every year in exchange for a fixed quota to accept the modification of the Evolution Cube. This is the basic borrowing fee, and it doesn't have to be money. Minerals, materials, fuel, and other resources can all be converted into money."
"How much does it cost every year?" a Star Cluster civilization representative asked.
"That depends on your needs."
Han Xiao had an honest expression that said, "I've always been honest when doing business."
"Your borrowing fee every year depends on how many quotas you want to buy every year. You have to report to me in advance, and I will arrange a schedule for you to receive the modification. Every organization can buy a maximum of one million quotas every year … After all, I'm also very busy."
Although Han Xiao had endless energy, his time was limited, and he could not spend all his time helping others use the Evolution Cube. Furthermore, the effect of the Evolution Cube would weaken if the same person used it repeatedly. Han Xiao limited the quota for the long-term.
"What if we want the entire race to enjoy the evolution?" someone could not help but ask.
"Good question." Han Xiao raised his brows. "Apart from the basic quota, you can buy additional modification quotas. There is no limit to the number, but the price will be much higher than the basic quota. It's not that I'm looking down on your wealth, but with the huge population of your civilization, paying this fee will most likely cost a lot."
The representatives of the various civilizations felt a little regretful. To them, evolving the entire race at once was the best result. Unfortunately, Han Xiao was clearly not willing to do a one-time deal.
The population of a Star System civilization started from at least ten billion, and the cost was astronomical.
However, thinking about it, there was indeed no need for the entire race to evolve. Every advanced civilization had a bunch of useless people who did not work, and it was clearly a waste of money to buy them a quota to evolve.
The representatives of the various civilizations could accept the millions of quotas every year going the route of the elite and having a portion of them improve their genes first.
Han Xiao raised a second finger. "The second condition is business cooperation. This will be decided based on the nature of your organization. Civilizations can provide the mining rights of resource planets, transportation routes, and military factories. Armed organizations have to establish a military alliance with the Black Star Corps. Intelligence organizations can share intelligence, and financial groups can provide more business cooperation. These are the prerequisites for you to buy a slot from me."
The people present were from different forces. Han Xiao's move was to expand the business of the Black Star Corps. He wanted to get involved in different industries, find more ways to make money, and strive to be successful in all fields.
At the same time, through business cooperation, they formed a deeper cooperative relationship with various forces.
This was within everyone's expectations, so they were not surprised.
After analyzing all kinds of information, they knew that Black Star was an ambitious person. Since he had the opportunity to become a Beyond Grade A organization, he naturally would not be satisfied with a mere armed organization.
"The last condition … I hope to have a seat in the Shattered Star Ring Civilization Conference," Han Xiao said with a deep voice.
The nature of the Shattered Star Ring Civilization Conference was the same as the Galaxy General Court. It was a political alliance belonging to the civilizations of the Star Field, and a Star System civilization was the prerequisite to join.
The representatives of the various civilizations exchanged looks, and someone said hesitantly, "Only civilizations can join. Black Star, although your organization is strong, you're not a civilization."
Han Xiao smiled. "Don't worry, I know this rule. I'm prepared to join in the name of my mother planet."
Blue Star?
Everyone looked at each other.
"If I remember correctly, your mother planet's civilization has not reached the Star System level yet. It's not enough to join …"
Han Xiao shrugged. "That's why I raised this condition."
Only by obtaining a seat in the Civilization Conference could he obtain political influence on the surface, which was the so-called official status. This way, even if the Blue Star had not reached the Star System level, they would be able to enjoy the protection of the Peace Treaty.
He would also be able to benefit from this. Not only would his personal status be higher, but his Black Star Corps would also be able to transform into a semi-official army. The members of the army would be able to obtain all sorts of legal protection, which was equivalent to a protective talisman.
Simply put, as long as this matter was completed, if other players were to casually attack the members of the Black Star Corps, they would become the red names of the many organizations in the Order Faction. At the same time, they would lose a lot of Favorability with many organizations.
Hearing this, the representatives of the various civilizations were helpless. This matter was beyond their authority, and they all said that they could not make the decision and would have to ask the upper echelons before they could give a reply.
However, Han Xiao was not worried. The Shattered Star Ring Civilization Conference was controlled by the Star Cluster civilizations in the Star Field. Now that these Star Cluster civilizations wanted to cooperate with him, it was not difficult for them to make an exception and include him. To them, all they had to do was find a reason.
During the secret war period, many Star Cluster civilizations were not willing to see the Black Star grow and secretly did many things. However, what was done could not be undone, so they could only lower their heads and seek cooperation.
The Shattered Star Ring had been affected by the Crimson Tide for ten years, and the structure of the Shattered Star Ring had undergone subtle changes. At this juncture, it was the best opportunity to make use of this opportunity.
After the initial cooperation intent was finalized, the guests bid farewell and left. They were only expressing their stance today. The specific details of the cooperation would need to be discussed by the affairs department of both parties. This would be the job of Sylvia and Philip.
Han Xiao tapped on the table and pondered.
In his plan, this was a crucial step in the expansion of the Black Star Corps. With the Evolution Cube as the catalyst, he would form a partnership of interests with the Black Star Corps at the center, turning the army into a hub for cooperation between the organizations!
Not only would he enjoy the cooperation, but he would also connect the channels of the various organizations, forming a huge interest network.
In order to achieve this, his own organization had to be strong enough, and the Black Star Corps, as a Beyond Grade A organization, had this qualification.
Making use of this opportunity, the Black Star Corps could rapidly grow and maintain this interest network for a long time. He could indirectly turn the Shattered Star Ring into the headquarters of the Black Star Corps and obtain a steady stream of resources.
Currently, the Evolution Cube was the key to attracting cooperation, but as long as he managed it well in the long term and let the various organizations see the benefits of working together, they would continue to cooperate even without the Evolution Cube. Just like how Heber had made the Tyrant's Party a publicly recognized party for the upper echelons, Han Xiao's goal was to make the Black Star Corps a publicly recognized hub for cooperation and interests in the Shattered Star Ring.
…
After three days, all the guests finally arrived. Early in the morning, Heber invited everyone to the palace and officially started the party.
The hall was decorated like a banquet. The musicians played their instruments, and the representatives of the various organizations formed small circles in twos and threes, whispering to each other.
Han Xiao and the others also occupied a corner and were surrounded by many people.
The players who followed them were also brought in. They looked around curiously and used their [Detection] skills on the people around them. Everywhere they looked, everyone was a big shot. A few Beyond Grade As were also chatting with people in the hall.
These players had heard about the Tyrant's Party in the past few days. Now that they saw so many organization representatives, the importance of this party skyrocketed in their hearts.
All the guests present added up to the ruling class of the Shattered Star Ring. It turned out that Black Star was also at this level.
Such high-level activities were usually not accessible to the players. These people posted about the Tyrant's Party on the forums, and only then did the players know of such a party and began discussing it excitedly.
"So Black Star is interacting with people of this level now."
"He's a faction leader. It's inevitable."
"All five Beyond Grade As are here. Haha, won't they fight?"
"Isn't Bloodshed Land our enemy? Why is Black Star there?"
This time, Heber walked out from the crowd. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Heber.
"In the past decade or so, many things have happened in the Shattered Star Ring. Fortunately, I can still see so many familiar faces today."
Heber slowly said, "Before the party begins, I would like to announce something."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Han Xiao and said with a deep voice, "After a private discussion, Black Star and I have come to an agreement. We have decided to temporarily stop the war and participate in the Red Empire's development of the Flickering World. Everyone here is a witness."
Everyone turned to look at him, and Han Xiao nodded.
"Flickering World?"
Many players muttered to themselves. This piece of information immediately attracted their attention.
Han Xiaoxin smiled. He knew that Heber would definitely announce this during the party. He immediately released the prepared mission on the faction interface.
At the same time, the interface of the many players changed. In the list of missions that could be accepted, the Grade S + Main Storyline Mission of [Flickering World] was placed at the top.
"Oh my, a new Main Storyline Mission!"
"What the f * ck, Grade S + Difficulty? This is even higher than the secret war! "
"This should be our next Main Storyline in Version 3.0!"
"Developing the Flickering World, it seems like this is the next large-scale operation of the Black Star Corps."
The army players were overjoyed, and many of them accepted the mission.
Such a difficult Main Storyline was obviously a huge event. Originally, after the secret war ended, many players had entered a period of aimless free exploration. Now, they had a new goal.
Due to the recent series of events, the players at this stage had a strong sense of belonging to the army. In their eyes, the storyline of the Black Star Corps was equivalent to the Main Storyline.
The players did not know much about the details of the Flickering World, and there were countless posts on the forums discussing it. Han Xiao glanced at them and was quite satisfied with the effect of this wave of hype.
However, the army players did not know that the [Flickering World] was not only the storyline of Version 3.0 that connected to the secret war but also the main storyline of the next version.
…
The cooperation that needed to be discussed had already been discussed a few days ago, and the formal gathering was just a formality for Han Xiao.
Since Heber had announced a ceasefire, he naturally would not allow his subordinates to cause trouble. With his restrictions, Wrothers did not come looking for trouble, and everything was peaceful.
Participating in the Tyrant's Party this time, he had basically completed his goal. Han Xiao was quite satisfied with the result.
After the gathering ended, he did not stay any longer. After using the Evolution Cube on Austin once, he left with Ames, Hila, and the other officers. He left as soon as he said he was leaving, not taking a single cloud with him.
Hu!
The spaceship left Planet Heber. Han Xiao turned on his communicator and dialed Bennett's number.
Over the past few days, the representatives of those civilizations had reported his request for cooperation to the upper echelons, and the upper echelons had already replied and agreed to these conditions.
Han Xiao used the name of Blue Star to obtain a seat in the Shattered Star Ring Civilization Conference, so there was basically no problem with this. Only then did he contact Bennett.
Very soon, the call went through.
"Han Xiao? Why are you free to look for me today? "Bennett's carefree laughter sounded.
"There's something I have to tell you …" Han Xiao explained.
Hearing this, Bennett was pleasantly surprised. "You're helping the Aquamarine Federation enter the Shattered Star Ring Civilization Conference? That's great! "
Blue Star was only a beginner galactic civilization and was far from the threshold of the Civilization Conference. Being able to enter the Civilization Conference was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Hmm, I'll be the representative of the civilization. You have no objections, right?" Han Xiao said.
The seat of the Civilization Conference belonged to the entire civilization, and normally, the representative of the civilization would be the government. However, although Han Xiao had a close relationship with the Aquamarine Federation, they were still two different forces. If he did this, even if this seat belonged to the Blue Star government, they would only be able to express their opinions through Han Xiao.
Bennett did not hesitate at all. "This is an opportunity that you've fought for for us. Furthermore, you're the guardian of Blue Star. Giving this seat to you is actually beneficial to us. You'll have more say than us."
He had thought it through very clearly. Even if Blue Star were to develop for many years, they would not be able to reach the achievements of the Black Star Corps. He was not willing to see the Blue Star Civilization make the wrong choice in the future. Thus, he was paving the way in advance and trying to bind the Blue Star government to the Black Star Corps.
Han Xiao smiled and chatted for a while before hanging up.
After thinking about it, he decided to use the Evolution Cube on a large scale for Blue Star when he returned. Since he had obtained the Blue Star government seat, the better Blue Star developed, the greater his benefits would be.
"That's right, I should go and take a look at the Black Spirit Race. I can let them use the Evolution Cube as well …"
Han Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat. This race worshipped him as a totem, so they could be considered half of his people.
