Chapter 148 The Wind Rises (1/2)
Bun-hit-dog saw Galaxy as a potential television series. As there was limited information online about it, he keenly realized the hidden potential and decided to create a series that introduced and explained Galaxy. Moreover, he himself really liked Galaxy as well.
It was inevitable for many to start a series on a popular game. Normally, as long as the content was interesting, the first person that produced the television series would easily gain popularity through the game.
Wandering around a new player village, Bun-hit-dog had yet to find the starting point for his series. The first episode of a series was the most important, and he did not wish to do it carelessly. It would be great if he could obtain some exclusive information that ordinary players could not get easily.
Han Xiao's appearance made Bun-hit-dog feel like his chance was finally here.
Since the Black Phantom was a hot topic on the forums, many people would be drawn to his television series if his first episode was about the Black Phantom. Who was not curious about this mysterious high-level character? He would then be able to ride on Black Phantom's popularity and make the series a successful one.
Bun-hit-dog, who was among the crowd, switched on his video function, panned toward Black Phantom, and started recording. He then added his own explanation and comments into the footage afterward.
Players were clustering toward him due to the event that happened at Big Horn Village, and that helped save Han Xiao some time. Han Xiao thought he might as well not sell any items. After all, he did not bring any with him. Instead, he went straight to releasing the list of skills that he could teach. The only request was to give five reputation points, which meant….
Wish to change your vocation? Give me some money!
”Black Phantom isn't selling anything? Then how am I supposed to increase my reputation?”
”This… Giving him free money?”
Players were stunned and whispers started among the crowd.
Han Xiao was calm and thought he did not want to go through so much trouble in Big Horn Village, since the players all knew that they could advance through him. His offer seemed like he was trying to scam the players, but in reality, it was just a simple deal: 2,500 Aquamarine Dollars in exchange for a chance for advancement. Deal or no deal, it was all up to them to decide.
Compared to the normal route for obtaining basic knowledges, paying 2,500 Aquamarine Dollars was already considered a cheap price.
At the time, Balsas' assistant approached and nervously swallowed his saliva. He was trembling with fear every time he took a step closer, and he was afraid of getting too close to Han Xiao.
”What is it?” Han Xian glanced at him.
”Cough cough, may I know why you are here at Green Valley Ville?” The assistant asked as he braced himself.
Han Xiao took a puff of his cigarette and said, ”I'm just walking past here. Don't worry, I'm not here to cause any trouble.”
The assistant heaved a sigh of relief and said, ”Oh, Alumera welcomes you, and Balsas wishes to invite you into the city so that he can give you a treat.
”No, thanks, I'll just stay here.”
Han Xiao declined as it would be inconvenient to communicate with the players once he entered the town. Since there would not be anyone who dared refuse him, he would leave once he had gotten the experience. As such, he did not pay attention to Balsas.
”Al, Alright…” The assistant left hurriedly as his heart raced, and he was dripping with cold sweat. The legendary killer seemed to be emitting a scary aura. The assistant was scared stiff even though Han Xiao was just standing still.
Especially his eyes, they were like those of wolverines wandering around the dark forest. One could get goose bumps just by staring into Han Xiao's eyes.
This was one of the effects of having Universal Reputation. When dealing with certain forces, there might be additional effects.
When the assistant returned into the village, Balsas asked, ”What did he say?”
The assistant then repeated everything that had happened.
”Just passing by?” Balsas frowned and pondered. He suspected that there were some secrets going on between Black Phantom and the refugees outside the village.
After contemplating for a while, he ordered, ”Get someone to observe Black Phantom and report to me if anything is weird. Also, go get some information from the refugees outside. I think Black Phantom is here for them.”
On the other hand, all the players had witnessed the conversation between Han Xiao and Balsas' assistant. A question then arose among the crowd.
