Han Xiao released the two missions, and the interface of all the army players immediately changed. They all looked at it, and their expressions changed.
"Bringing new players to do missions will give us additional faction contribution points? This seems quite worth it. "
"Completing any mission in the army is fine. Does running errands count?"
"Definitely. Even the Dungeon Crystals dropped by the army count."
"These two missions can be repeated. This is a huge profit!"
"We have to team up with players who have been in the faction for less than a year. Only new players born on Planet Deirdre in Version 3.0?"
"It's the same for those from the Constellation Corridor. Didn't they just join the army?"
The two faction missions were packaged into a faction activity, which created a wave among the players.
The mission that Han Xiao issued was not forcing the players but enticing them. It was such a rare opportunity to farm Contribution Points, so many players would not reject it. They were just teaming up with a new player, so they would not lose anything.
Perhaps some players would not be moved, but more players were willing to grab this opportunity.
As long as the majority of the players did not limit themselves to their own small circle and took the initiative to team up with new players, his goal would be achieved.
When new and old players played together, they would be able to build some relationships. At the very least, it was normal for them to add each other as friends.
The two missions were a set and targeted different groups. Instructing the new players would make the old players willing to team up with the new players, and Consulting the Veterans would make the new players take the initiative to find the old players.
Those who belonged to the category of 'new players' were not limited to the players from the Constellation Corridor. The new players that Han Xiao had recruited from Planet Deirdre in Version 3.0 were also new players. The old players of the Shattered Star Ring naturally preferred to play with their own people. Consulting the Veterans was to let the foreign players take the initiative to find the old players of the army, not only the Shattered Star Ring players.
Compared to these old players who had been in the army for one or two versions, these new players needed contribution points more and were more enthusiastic about this mission.
Under Han Xiao's guidance, the situation in the army headquarters changed very quickly. The various areas where the players gathered became lively, and groups of people started to ask for teams.
"We're missing one person. We're all veteran players of the army. We need a newbie above Level 100. Don't be a Pugilist. Let's do the new veteran missions together to farm contribution points."
"Level 88 Cannon Master. Equipped with Lethal Firepower and Bullet Shower. His main damage output skills are all Level 4 and above. His main weapons are the O-38 Arc Light Cannon and the 'Snake Bone' Electromagnetic Submachine Gun. Equipped with the eighth generation Black Serpent Armor, all purple equipment in the army. Newbies looking for veterans to form a party to farm contribution points!"
"Thirty-man team, preparing to enter the Defense Battle Dungeon of the Secret Battle Conch. There are four empty spots now. A few high-level players from the Constellation Corridor, at least Grade C +. We need tanks and crowd control. Don't deal damage, X over, don't deal damage! Hurry up and get us moving! "
The communication between the players suddenly became lively. The Constellation Corridor players eagerly sought out the old players of the army to form a team, and the old players did not reject any of them. The situation immediately improved.
The foreign players entered the teams of different army players one after another, quickly blending into the environment and doing missions together. Because the players were all waiting for the Flickering World Main Storyline, they were mainly farming dungeons, which indirectly increased the sales of Dungeon Crystals.
The players did not have any doubts about these two missions. It just so happened that a group of newbies had come from across the Star Field. To the players, it was very normal for the army to let the veterans teach the newbies.
"Hey, Chinese brothers, do you know when this event will end?"
"Who cares? We'll just farm it."
"You guys don't seem to find it strange at all. In our Star Field, there are very few group activities like this."
"Haha, our army's faction activities are very frequent. I've participated in many large-scale missions with hundreds of thousands of players working together. You'll get used to it after some time. This is the specialty of our Shattered Star Ring."
The normal players started to form teams, and the club guilds also formed teams. The four large guilds were overjoyed.
They had just reached an agreement with the foreign guilds, and this mission immediately popped up. The Russian and Australian guilds were all newbies. Those guild representatives had just left, and they were already running back to ask them for help.
Even their factions were helping them!
After monitoring for a while, Han Xiao nodded and was quite satisfied with the impact he had caused. He had broken up the trust accounts of the countless players who often played together in the two Star Fields, allowing the normal players to take the initiative to accept the newbies and gradually integrate into each other's groups. This was a good start.
If there were no activities to guide them, the worst-case scenario in the future would be that the Chinese, Russian, and Australian players would slowly stabilize. Of course, the probability of such an extreme possibility was very low. If the players were allowed to develop naturally, the various groups would not communicate too frequently, and the factions would still be obvious, which was not conducive to the harmony of the army players.
With him leading the way, the efficiency of communication between the players on both sides would be greatly increased, which was very beneficial to the faction.
He planned to let these two missions continue for some time.
Soon, he would be exploring the Flickering World, and there would be countless missions. It was a good time for the players on both sides to act together.
Closing the forums, Han Xiao left the office and returned to his bedroom.
His bedroom in the army was very simple, with silver alloy walls and a transparent skylight on the ceiling that allowed him to look straight at the vast universe. In the middle of the room was a large black bed, and simple living equipment such as mechanical suit display cabinets, bookshelves, fridges, automatic cookers, biological waste disposal boxes, and so on were placed along the walls. Only a pot of green plants was placed in the corner, adding a touch of life to the cold room — he had planted them himself.
Taking off his coat, Han Xiao took a shower and came out wrapped in a loose towel. His slender body was covered in water droplets and hot steam. He took out more than ten tubes of special nutrition paste with different flavors from the fridge, casually opened them, and gulped them down. This thing recovered stamina extremely quickly, and it was not cheap either.
Beyond Grade As could basically not eat or sleep, replenishing themselves by absorbing all kinds of energy. However, he still retained his habits as a human. The increase in strength and the change in his race would also change the way he viewed the world. He did not need to rest, just to remind himself that his humanity still existed.
Because of the amazing control that Beyond Grade As had over their bodies, Han Xiao could no longer fall asleep naturally and could only control his brain to enter a dormant state.
After going to the Central Galaxy for two months, he finally fell asleep in his own home.
Lying on the bed, before falling asleep, Han Xiao's consciousness entered the quantum network and greeted Philip.
"I'm going to sleep. Call me if you need anything. Good night."
"Master, good night, hum," Philip said.
After resting for a night, Han Xiao opened his eyes on time, got out of bed, washed up, took off his robe, and put on a black coat, returning to his image as Black Star.
The first thing he did was to open the forums. Because of the cross-team, more and more new players were active in the Shattered Star Ring and communicating with the Chinese players.
With a glance, Han Xiao noticed that there was a new post on the forum. It was the latest episode of the popular Galaxy Times program.
"It'll mention the matter of crossing Star Fields."
Han Xiaoxin opened the show.
After watching the familiar opening, the two hosts shared the events and interesting stories of the various Star Fields. Very soon, they mentioned the first batch of players who crossed Star Fields.
"Not long ago, the famous NPC faction of the Shattered Star Ring, the Black Star Corps, provided the Constellation Corridor players with a channel to the Shattered Star Ring. According to statistics, a total of 713,000 players left with the Black Star Corps, completing the first known crossing of Star Fields."
"In Version 2.0, the Black Star Corps was the guiding faction for the players of the Shattered Star Ring. Now, they are guiding the players of another Star Field to cross Star Fields. Maybe this is a signal — in the next version, the players will be able to cross Star Fields on a large scale and freely go to different areas!"
"We have data to prove that the evolution of the players' areas of activity is like this: Version 1.0, novice planets; Version 2.0, entering the galaxy; Version 3.0, exploring the Star Cluster. In every version, the players' area of activity will expand. Originally, we thought that the players would mainly explore the Star Field they were born in, but the actions of the Black Star Corps gave us a new idea. Because of the theme of the galaxy, the players of the various Star Fields will interact sooner or later. Therefore, according to this trend, we can infer that the next version will be the stage where the players can freely cross Star Fields."
After watching the show, Han Xiao smiled. This speculation was logical, but the Galaxy Times was only half right.
In the next version, the players would indeed be able to cross Star Fields on a large scale. However, unlike what the Galaxy Times had guessed, the players would not be able to freely go to different areas but gather in the Flickering World.
The Galaxy Times had misled the players. Other than Han Xiao, no one knew that the Flickering World would be the main stage of the next version.
Han Xiao smiled to himself.
"The players who followed me to the Flickering World now have no idea how much of an advantage they are getting."
After browsing through the forums, Han Xiao finally got down to business. He patrolled around the army headquarters before heading to the logistics department.
Walking into Reynold's office, he immediately saw Nero, who was buried in a mountain of books.
"Godfather!" Nero raised his head, and his dark eyes could be clearly seen. Realizing that it was Han Xiao, his tired face bloomed with joy. He threw away the book in his hands and ran into Han Xiao's arms.
Looking at the terrifying amount of homework that Reynold had given him, Han Xiao's mouth twitched.
This is already at the level of child abuse, right?
Criticizing Reynold in his mind, Han Xiao patted Nero's head and said, "Let's go. I'll take you on a trip."
"Really?" Nero was so surprised that he almost cried out.
When he left Star Regretful, Nero thought that he was going out to play with his godfather. Who would have thought that there would be endless homework in the universe!
With Reynold's personality, what he was best at was force-feeding. For the past two months, Nero felt as though he had been in hell. Now that he saw Han Xiao, it was as though he had seen an angel who had descended to save him. He could finally escape from this sea of suffering!
"Didn't I promise you?" Han Xiao smiled. Actually, he was not completely bringing Nero on a trip. The main purpose was to go to the Tyla Civilization where Harrofal was and find the wormhole location data that EsGod's doppelganger had passed through.
Other than Nero, Han Xiao only brought Han, Aurora, and Fu Ding. They set off in the Blacklight Stealth, which was extremely fast. It would not take too long for them to go back and forth, so it would not delay the operation in the Flickering World.
Because Harrofal had been killed by EsGod's subordinates long ago, the chances of finding the wormhole data were very slim. Therefore, Han Xiao purposely brought Fyodor and Nero along to make up for his bad luck.
After all, the people who believed in metaphysics the most were still the Africans.
The Blacklight Stealth passed through the stargate without any stops along the way. In just a few days, Han Xiao and the others arrived at one of the Tyla Civilization's ruling planets and visited the Advanced Machinery School where Harrofal had once worked.
With Han Xiao's identity, as long as he did not have any ill intentions, all the civilizations in the Shattered Star Ring welcomed Han Xiao as a guest. Er, except for the Klent Kingdom that cursed him every day and the Star Pupil God Race that stabbed him in the dark.
This Machinery School had an official nature and had nurtured many Mechanic talents for the Tyla Civilization. The school was extremely large and majestic.
The dean had long been waiting at the entrance of the school with people. Han Xiao and the others were welcomed as soon as they arrived.
"Your Excellency Black Star, it's our honor to have you here." The dean was full of smiles.
"You're too polite." Han Xiao nodded.
"Please follow me." The dean waved his hand and summoned mechanical boards. These were all public transportation devices in the school.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Han Xiao stepped on the skateboard and followed the dean to the guest room. They chatted and laughed along the way.
As the group passed through the school, Han Xiao did not expect to attract a crowd.
Some students seemed to have recognized him, and the news spread. Groups of students followed behind them on their skateboards and watched from afar.
Han Xiao looked back and said with surprise, "Those are the students of the school, right? Why are they following behind us?"
"Your Excellency Black Star, as you know, this is the Machinery School. All the students are Mechanic Supers," the dean said helplessly.
"So?"
"Ahem, you don't seem to be very clear about your position in the hearts of the Mechanic students."
Han Xiao immediately understood. He looked back and saw that the students following behind them had excitement, surprise, and worship on their faces. They looked at him with respect as if they were on a pilgrimage.
He was the only Beyond Grade A Mechanic in the Shattered Star Ring. His position in the eyes of the Mechanic Supers was even more special. He was equivalent to the authority of the Mechanic class in the Shattered Star Ring. His visit to this Machinery School caused a commotion among the students.
The dean smiled and said, "Your Excellency Black Star, why don't we organize and let you set up a nest here to impart your knowledge on the path of machinery? What do you think?"
"Hmm." Han Xiao thought about it and did not reject. He waved his hands and said, "Let's see how it goes. If this trip is successful, it's not impossible."
"What's the purpose of your visit this time?" The dean's eyes flashed. Han Xiao had only applied for a visit and had not said his purpose.
"Harrofal is my friend. I'm here to find a set of data he left behind."
The dean was stunned for a moment before feeling a little sad. "He … sigh, the school was attacked not long ago. He was kidnapped and killed by a group of people. He was a good researcher. It's a pity that we lost a talent."
"The murderer was EsGod's subordinate. I've already avenged him."
The dean felt sad for a while before suddenly asking, "Did EsGod's subordinate kidnap him for the data you mentioned?"
This was not difficult to deduce, so Han Xiao was not surprised. He looked at him and nodded.
"That's right. When Harrofal was researching in the Taralam wormhole group, I visited him a few times. One of them was ambushed by the Dark-star leader, and I was forced to fight with the EsGod doppelganger. However, I could not beat him back then, and it was all thanks to Harrofal's help that the EsGod doppelganger was exiled in a wormhole. The location data from that wormhole is what I want."
The wormhole group in the Taralam Star Cluster was the center of the Shattered Star Ring. The teleportation location of every unstable wormhole was random, unlike stargates that had fixed coordinates. The probability of a wormhole repeating itself was close to zero, so it was useless even if the wormhole was found. Only the location data recorded by the teleportation device was valuable.
"When Harrofal was kidnapped, all the wormhole detectors in his laboratory were taken away. Not a single one was left."
"He should have recorded the data into the internal database of your school. I hope you can lend me the authority to check."
"Er, the internal database of the experiment is top secret. I can only allow outsiders to access it with the permission of the upper echelons of the civilization. Furthermore, I'm not sure if Harrofal has a backup of that data. Also, he detected too much wormhole data. If you don't remember the date and time, we won't know which set of data you want."
"Then, please help me report this to the upper echelons of the Tara Civilization," Han Xiao said with a deep voice.
Such an internal database with an official background would definitely have extremely strong virtual defense measures. Under the circumstances where there was hope of obtaining the data through official channels, he did not want to risk offending a Star Cluster civilization.
