Chapter 86 A Strike of Philosophy (2/2)
To activate such additional rewards, the opponent defeated needed to be at least five levels higher. The additional EXP was in accordance to the respective contribution rates of the member of a team since most missions were team challenges. If any member of the team failed to meet the criteria mentioned, the entire team would be deprived of the additional rewards. Such a measure highlighted the importance of good cooperation, and cheating from the players was prevented. It also prevented the occurrence of free-loaders that leeched onto the efforts of others.
Han Xiao finally relaxed and sat on the ground. He then lay down, allowing the rays of sunlight to hit his face. He closed his eyes in peace and enjoyed the calm and silence after the battle, as if all the damage and destruction did not exist.
A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately jumped up and checked his pants. The little Han Xiao in his pants was all good. He heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, the sleeping dragon in his pants had not been damaged at all.
After a short rest, Han Xiao started to check on the damage. The endurance levels for all his equipment had dropped drastically. The delayed-explosion explosives had all been used. His HP had started to recover, and the overall damage was within his expectations.
Han Xiao walked to Pan Kuang's dead body, which was still in an upright position. He searched for any loot and found a hard object in Pan Kuang's pocket. He took it out and discovered that it was a communication device from the Germinal Organization.
Han Xiao thought for a moment and decided to activate the device. Ten seconds later, a virtual image of the chief of the Germinal Organization appeared.
”Ji Jie, have you guys retreated successfully...” The chief was halfway through his words when he realized that something was amiss with the image transmitted over from the other side.
It was Han Xiao. The chief changed his expression immediately and glared at Han Xiao.
”Why are you here‽”
Zero was using Ji Jie's communication device, and it was apparent that the base had been completely destroyed. It was also highly likely that Pan Kuang was dead.
”You have the audacity to contact me?” the enraged chief exclaimed.
”Yo, haven't seen you for a long time.” Han Xiao laughed
If felt weird that Han Xiao was talking to him like a long-lost friend. The chief could not think of a reply immediately, so he paused for a moment. The chief then questioned, ”Where did you obtain the confidential information?”
That was the greatest puzzle in the chief's mind.
”Why do you think I will tell you the answer?” Han Xiao replied snobbishly.
”Do you think you can damage the power of the organization with such means? What a fool!” the chief yelled back.
”I sabotaged four of your bases.
”I can destroy you easily with my hands!
”I sabotaged four of your bases.
”There are many executive officers in the organization. You won't be out there for long!
”I sabotaged four of your bases.”
Ahhh! Too angry!
From the tone of the chief's words, it sounded as if he was chewing on metal and every word was filled with the utmost determination to kill Han Xiao. ”Don't you think that you will be able to escape from our clutches by pledging your allegiance to Stardragon. My guys will disintegrate every bone and tendon in you once they catch you!”
Han Xiao started laughing. Following that, he blew a kiss at the chief.
”Come and find me if you can? Hahaha...”
The chief was completely enraged upon hearing Han Xiao's words of contempt. He wanted to say something, but before he could, Han Xiao destroyed the communication device. The screen blacked out.
The chief's words of fury were stuck in his throat. He was shaking in anger.
”Increase the bounty on Zero to five million dollars!”
The bounty increased by five times!
...
Han Xiao wiped his smile away. Teasing the chief was not just a random act of entertainment.
The Germinal Organization was bound to send members to the West Capital to find him. They would not rest until he was dead.
The situation seemed disadvantageous to him, but in actual fact, it was not.
Because...Han Xiao never wanted to return to Stardragon!
This was his real plan!
