Flickering World, central region of the Garu Star Cluster.
Ever since the player expedition team received the legacy of the Great Cosmos Corps and set up a long-distance stargate, Han Xiao had led his fleet to the central region of the star map. There were more famous planets in the central region of the Star Cluster than the border Star Systems, and their quality was much better.
Among them was Planet Jinyao, which was listed in the 'List of Two Hundred Flickering Main Planets'. It was extremely prosperous in Han Xiao's previous life and was one of the dynasty's first-line ruling planets in the Garu Star Cluster. It was one of the unique landmark planets in the Flickering World, and many people would visit it every year. There was also Planet Rasende, the core transportation hub of the Garu Star Cluster in Han Xiao's previous life. At its peak, it had more than five hundred stargate entrances and was the transportation heart of the Star Cluster.
Other than that, Han Xiao also occupied a large number of famous resource planets that were famous for producing all kinds of rare materials in his previous life.
In Han Xiao's previous life, these famous planets had a very important position in the Garu Star Cluster. Maybe when the Flickering World opened up in the future, the dynasty would take back these planets and redistribute the territories. However, during the exploration period, these planets were the territory of the Black Star Corps, and the army had the right to share the special products of these planets.
The exploration had already been going on for four months, and the progress of the various exploration teams was about the same. The Bloodshed Land was progressing steadily and was about to finish exploring the Jeraton Star System. Although they had gained quite a lot, the results were all within the dynasty's expectations. In comparison, although Han Xiao's exploration team's progress in the first Star System was slower due to their scattered exploration plan, because Han Xiao had found a large number of famous planets in his previous life, he had given the dynasty's upper echelons quite a surprise.
Therefore, the dynasty favored him greatly and gave him more and more support.
Han Xiao had heard more than once that the Klent exploration team had secretly imitated his method and sent out teams to explore planets in other regions. Unfortunately, they did not know the exact situation of the planets and did not gain much. Instead, they wasted time.
In the past four months, the profits of the Flickering World had gradually become obvious. The Black Star Corps' profits in the Flickering World had almost reached the sum of all the other businesses in the army.
As more and more planets were explored by the army, the profits continued to snowball like a rolling snowball.
Countless ownerless planets were waiting to be mined. That was why the Flickering World was a huge development opportunity.
The income of the army skyrocketed, and the Flickering World exploration team helped the headquarters of the Shattered Star Ring. As the funds became abundant, Sylvia continued to expand under Han Xiao's instructions, recruiting more new members. The training camp also provided a large amount of fresh blood, and the headquarters sent more people to the exploration team.
As for the players, as the number of resource planets increased, the guilds began to lack manpower and began to selectively mine resource points. The best resource planets were basically controlled by the four major guilds, and below them were the first-rate guilds. The Russian and Australian branches had been bullied enough. They no longer wanted to play on the same planet as the four giants and China's first-rate guilds. So, they chose to establish resource points on some of the weaker planets to compete with China's second and third-rate guilds.
In the past four months, the average level of the players had increased by quite a bit. Among them, Maple Moon had jumped to level 113 because of the generous reward of the hidden mission. She was only seven levels away from the maximum level.
With Maple Moon as an example, the other players searched for hidden missions like crazy. Some of them actually found one and submitted it to their faction. Unfortunately, there was no second [Bold Explorer] skill fragment reward.
Han Xiao did not stay idle in the past four months. The experience penalty of the Evolution Cube would last for another seven to eight months, so he was not in a hurry to level up.
Every day, other than monitoring the exploration progress and browsing the forums, he would be in the machinery workshop, constantly expanding the size of the Mech Legion.
Now that there were more than ten million Mech Legion soldiers, their performance was extremely strong. With the enhancement of his current Mechanical Force, such a Mech Legion had the ability to wipe out some relatively weak Star System civilizations.
Among the five Super classes, the Beyond Grade As of the Mechanic class had the greatest destructive power to a civilization. The other four classes placed more emphasis on individual strength. Usually, only a Beyond Grade A Mechanic with an army could start a large-scale galactic war alone.
In the command room of the bridge, Han Xiao stood in front of the 3D star map, staring at the communication channel, waiting for a special message.
Today was a special day. The task force led by Hardaway was about to complete the construction of the long-distance stargate. He was waiting for Hardaway's news.
However, before Hardaway's news arrived, Tarrokov's news arrived.
Beep beep!
Han Xiao took a look and helplessly picked up the call.
"Chief commander, what's the matter?"
"I have something to inform you. We've found traces of stowaways."
"Stowaways?" Han Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat. "It's probably those organizations that ignored the dynasty's announcement and wanted to enter the sealed Flickering World to take a share of the loot."
In his previous life, this was an event during the version update, and the players could only know about it from the background introduction. When the players participated, the Flickering World had already been officially opened, and the other organizations had already obtained permission to enter. The stowaways were basically a thing of the past.
According to the records of the Empire, they had engaged in a protracted battle with the stowaways during the exploration period. There were all sorts of chases and escapes, and the Star Field was simply too large. There were too many unexplored regions, and even the Empire was unable to eradicate the stowaways. Once a batch was eliminated, a new batch would appear after a period of time.
Tarrokov nodded. "It should be the troops of some Supercluster civilizations. You should pay attention to them. If you find traces of stowaways, remember to report to me. We need to find their secret stargate, and we will ask your troops for help if necessary."
"Okay."
As soon as he said that, a new mission popped up on the interface. Han Xiao's gaze shifted slightly, and he took a look.
You have triggered the mission [Stowaways' Clues] (Repeatable)!
Mission Introduction: The new Star Field is a treasure trove, and any organization that has the ability to touch it will not be willing to watch the Red Empire enjoy the benefits alone. Even if the Flickering World is the territory of the Red Empire in name, it will not be able to stop their ambitions. As an ally of the dynasty, the stowaways are also violating your interests. The dynasty needs your help.
Mission Requirements: Submit a valuable clue of the stowaways, kill a batch of stowaways, and destroy the secret stargate of the stowaways.
Mission Reward: 2,000,000 – 50,000,000 Experience, 50 – 700 Dynasty Contribution Points.
Remarks: This mission belongs to the [Flickering World] branch mission.
This was a repeatable mission, and he would receive a reward every time he dealt with a stowaway. The reward was not bad, but what Han Xiao valued the most was the dynasty Contribution Points.
However, the stowaways were elusive, and it was not that easy to find them. He could only rely on luck. Furthermore, these stowaways were not natives. If they built a secret stargate, he would have to face the counterattack of a powerful fleet if he wanted to eliminate them.
Han Xiao only planned to provide clues. He did not want to fight with a Supercluster civilization. The dynasty, on the other hand, was not afraid of offending them and was suitable for this mission.
Among these stowaways, there should be the Arcane Church … Han Xiao thought to himself.
Aesop had prophesied that the Arcane Church would bring danger to him in the Flickering World, and he was quite concerned about this.
If the Arcane Church wants to deal with me, they will definitely send a large number of combatants. Because they need to accumulate their forces, they should not be able to do anything in a short period of time. However, I still have to be more vigilant, Han Xiao thought to himself.
Sisko could locate him, so the Arcane Church would definitely let him join. Therefore, by paying attention to Sisko's whereabouts, he would indirectly know when the Arcane Church would make their move.
It was a pity that the Observer's Mark he had left on Sisko had been removed. Otherwise, things would have been much more convenient. Although Sisko could not remove the Observer's Mark on his own, he could sense that he was being watched. When they fought, he knew that Black Star had done something to him. It had been more than half a year, and he could not ignore it for so long. He had long asked the people of the Arcane Church to help him remove the Observer's Mark. After all, Austin was not the only Beyond Grade A Mage.
Han Xiao told Tarrokov about his worries, and Tarrokov smiled as though he had expected it.
"The dynasty has also considered this possibility. The Arcane Church might snatch your Evolution Cube while you are in the Flickering World. Therefore, the dynasty will closely monitor the movements of the Beyond Grade As of the Arcane Church. Furthermore, Her Excellency the Ruler is preparing to send a second batch of people to the Flickering World, including many of the dynasty's allies. At the same time, she will also send a Beyond Grade A directly under the dynasty to follow you and protect you temporarily."
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled. A second batch of allies … His competitors were finally here.
For the sake of the Evolution Cube, the dynasty had specially sent people to protect him. However, Han Xiao knew that the dynasty hoped that he would not run around with the Evolution Cube.
After obtaining that ownerless Universal Treasure, I'll return to Planet Lighthouse and stay there for a while … Han Xiaoxin thought.
Since he knew that the enemy might target him, Han Xiao decided to restrain himself. After all, the Arcane Church was not to be trifled with.
To be safe, staying at the dynasty's outpost Planet Lighthouse was much safer than running around. Furthermore, this would also mean that he would be in the Flickering World and could still support the army and supervise their exploration.
"Thank the Ruler Uranril for me." While thinking about other things, Han Xiao did not forget to be polite.
"Haha, the Ruler has recently reviewed our exploration progress. She is very satisfied with the results of your exploration and specifically expressed her appreciation for you." Tarrokov laughed.
After chatting for a while, Han Xiao finally hung up.
At this time, Hardaway's message finally arrived.
After waiting for four months, the stargate was finally completed!
"Well done!"
Han Xiao was overjoyed. With the stargate, he could finally take away the ownerless Universal Treasure in the Flickering World.
Hardaway also expressed his resentment in the message. He was very unhappy that he had not sparred with Han Xiao for four months and wanted to return to Han Xiao's side immediately to be beaten up. Han Xiaoxin was overjoyed and decided that when Hardaway returned, he would beat him up three times a day to satisfy his request.
Han Xiao immediately ordered the main fleet to change direction and head toward the stargate.
This news quickly reached Senico. During this period of time, he had gotten used to the irregular movements of Black Star's headquarters, so he was not surprised and did not suspect anything.
