Before leaving the exhibition hall, Han Xiao took the initiative to give Li Yalin a hug. At that moment, there was no difference in status, only friendship.
More than twenty years had passed, and the group of friends that he had first met had all gone through their own experiences. Everyone had their own lives to choose, and he would not forcefully interfere with the lives of others. Thus, after paying off the 'debt', he did not do anything to Li Yalin.
After bidding farewell to Li Yalin, Han Xiao and Ames spent more than ten days touring the main cities of Blue Star. They were recognized by the citizens everywhere, and the last stop was Black Star City to visit Bennett.
Ever since there were countless photos of him and Han Xiao on social media, Bennett knew that Han Xiao would definitely come to find him. He only waited and did not disturb the two of them.
Now that Han Xiao and Ames both had a close working relationship with Blue Star, Bennett paid full attention to the two of them.
After talking about the formal topic, Bennett could not help but ask about Nero's situation. Han Xiao told him about Nero's heavy learning load, and Bennett felt that Han Xiao valued Nero. He was very happy and suggested that Han Xiao increase his training.
After finishing his inspection work in Blue Star, Han Xiao went to Floating Dragon again. He originally planned to sneak into old man Aesop's wine cellar and take some Void Dragonbone Wine back to enjoy with Herlous and the others. However, Aesop had foreseen this and moved the bed and toilet to the wine cellar, guarding it tightly. Han Xiao could not snatch it by force, so he could only return to the army headquarters empty-handed.
In Floating Dragon Island's palace, Ames watched the spaceship's hyperdrive stream disappear into the distance, exhaled, and muttered to herself,
"I can't always be lazy …"
…
Tip: Ames is an Esper. Some of the abilities that can be extracted have been adjusted according to your profession.
Randomizing … Randomizing complete.

"Oh, my luck is good!" Han Xiao's eyes lit up.
Fu Ding and Nero seemed to have brought him good luck. The five abilities he drew were all pretty good.
[Advanced Charm Aura]'s bonus was very impressive. Any talent with the word 'Advanced' would not be too bad. However, Han Xiao's requirement for Charm was not high. Although they all relied on numbers, Mechanics did not rely on Charm like Summoners did.
[Favored of the Stars] was a very powerful ability with a very high bonus to Luck. Unfortunately, just like the Charm Aura, his requirement for it was not high. Furthermore, one point of Luck was not much different from having none.
[Potential Activation] was a practical skill that increased his damage output. However, compared to the other two abilities, it was not enough.
The two abilities that Han Xiao liked the most were [Pure Bloodline], which was a rare talent that increased the strength of one's talent. [Heroic Wrist] was a Growth Talent that was similar to Grade Talents. Although the bonus was far from being comparable to Grade Talents, it was still very rare and powerful.
You have received the new talent [Heroic Wrist]!
Current Total Bonus: + 1,230 STR, + 680 END, + 24.6% Ability Strength
He was more optimistic about this Growth Talent. It was stable, powerful, and had potential.
In comparison, the effect of [Pure Bloodline] was uncertain. According to Ames' ability, the bonus of this talent should be very limited.
Furthermore, with every Race Evolution, one's talent would be strengthened to a certain extent. He was not lacking in this aspect. His combat style was mainly based on the Mech Legion, and this talent could only be used by his main body or the Lord's carrier. The bonus of Ability Strength was applicable to the entire Mech Legion, increasing the overall damage output.
Currently, he only had [Transcendent] and [Supreme Power], which directly increased the strength of his abilities. These two abilities greatly increased the destructive power of different grades, so [Heroic Wrists], a non-grade ability that increased the strength of one's abilities, was extremely rare.
Han Xiao looked at his attributes with satisfaction. He then closed the interface and turned around to consider his current situation.
"It's now the middle of the version, and the external environment is relatively peaceful. The three Universal Civilizations need time to settle their conflicts. I've also established my position, so there shouldn't be any major issues in the short term. Therefore, until the end of the version, it should be an opportunity for me to develop steadily."
Han Xiao pondered. In the past year or so, he had shown his edge and led the army's strength to soar rapidly. He needed a period of stability to slowly digest the various achievements he had made, such as the dynasty paying more attention to him, the deterrence, the profits from the Evolutionary Totem, and so on.
"The army needs to keep a low profile and digest the fruits of victory. While consolidating its strength and business, it also needs to wait for the next development opportunity." Han Xiao nodded in his mind.
In his plan, the next development opportunity would be when the first development phase of the Flickering World ended. At that time, the dynasty would give him a territory that belonged to the army. At that time, he would be able to develop the machinery civilization and the Black Spirit Race.
At the same time, this would also be an opportunity to seize the advantage of Version 4.0. With the opening of the Version 4.0 World Server, the players of the various Star Fields finally gathered together and started a true faction war. The nickname of the Fourth Calamity, the Cancer of the Universe, also started in this version.
In the next version, it was inevitable that the players would cause trouble. Being the first to gain a territory in the World Server would be of great benefit to him and the army players. At that time, as the largest player faction in the Shattered Star Ring, the Black Star Corps would not be able to avoid being involved in the faction war between the players. There were pros and cons, but there would definitely be a storm.
The players of the Shattered Star Ring had already experienced many major events in Version 3.0. At the beginning, there was the secret war, the Army Commander breaking through to the Beyond Grade A realm, the alliance between the army and the dynasty, the exploration of the Flickering World in the middle, the battle of Planet Lighthouse, the fall of EsGod, and the Gulal civil war.
Han Xiao estimated that in the remaining time of Version 3.0, there would most likely not be any major events in the Shattered Star Ring. He could use this time to rest and recuperate.
Previously, he had been fighting Ethereal and EsGod, so he was also very tired. He could use this time to slowly accumulate experience from the players and expand his Mech Legion.
It had not even been two years since he became a Beyond Grade A Mechanic, and there was still a long way to go for his Mech Legion to reach the level of Manison. Not to mention Manison, even compared to other experienced Beyond Grade A Mechanics, his Mech Legion was not that big.
"I'll keep a low profile and farm for a period of time. I won't cause any trouble for now."
Han Xiaoxin made up his mind.
…
Under Han Xiao's strategic instructions, the Black Star Corps temporarily slowed down their pace of development and focused on stabilizing their current scale and business. At the same time, they optimized their internal structure to reduce their burden.
The trading of the Evolutionary Totem caused a huge commotion in the universe, and many civilizations in the various Star Fields made up their minds to form partnerships with the dynasty in various aspects. They joined some of the trade and political alliances led by the dynasty in exchange for the right to purchase the Evolutionary Totem.
The Red Empire gained political influence, Han Xiao gained a large number of civilization customers, and the army had abundant funds. It was a win-win situation.
This kind of monopoly made countless galactic financial groups extremely jealous. Even super financial groups like the Limitless Financial Group were interested. Unfortunately, with the Red Empire backing them and the Black Star Corps being the local tyrant far away in the Shattered Star Ring, these financial groups were unable to interfere even if they wanted to.
On the other hand, due to the previous conflicts, the three Universal Civilizations consciously reduced the friction between them. Thus, the Radiant Federation and the Arcane Church temporarily chose to wait and see on the issue of the Evolutionary Totem.
Due to the peaceful gesture made by the three parties, the galactic environment became stable again, and the effects of the Crimson Tide that had lasted for more than a decade gradually faded. The three Universal Civilizations gave the disobedient children a harsh beating, using practical examples to show the universe what it meant to be a noisy child who would get punched.
The division of the Fallen Ark also gradually came to an end. A portion of the criminals were captured by the three Universal Civilizations, a portion of them joined the criminal organizations of other Star Fields, and a portion of them set up their own organizations.
The remaining criminals were gathered by some people and continued to operate under the name of the Fallen Ark. The new leader seemed to be the former deputy of EsGod, Haakisen. The new Fallen Ark's strength had shrunk greatly, and they entered a frozen state. They did not move in the eye of the storm and kept a low profile.
The army players were mainly involved in two major events. One was the long-term exploration of the Flickering World, and the other was the Gulal civil war, helping the Pioneer Party reclaim their lost land step by step and destroying the Ancient Emperor Party and the Descender Party. The players' influence on the civil war was constantly increasing, so they were never tired of it.
In conclusion, the situation in the galaxy was occasionally frictions, but the overall situation was stable.
Under the tacit agreement of the three Universal Civilizations to keep a low profile, a year and a half passed quietly.
Version 3.0 had finally reached its end.
