Chapter 228 The Exchange (2/2)
”The intelligence will be sent to you. I will decide the location to retrieve Emerald Grass,” Han Xiao said then hung up the call.
Gu Hui's expression changed several times—only Han Xiao dared to hang up on him casually, and he could not do anything about it.
A prisoner in exchange for key intelligence, this deal was a definite win.
Furthermore, Gu Hui realized another benefit.
”He has been lost for so long. This meetup is a chance to follow up on his whereabouts!”
Han Xiao still had a position in the field agent files. Whether he went where, did what, or if he joined any organizations during his disappearance, this was all unknown to Stardragon despite their interest. It was just the right chance to investigate.
…
In the workshop in Sanctuary Three, Han Xiao waited thirty seconds after hanging up the call, only then did he send the first set of intelligence to Division 13 and held onto the rest temporarily. He knew full well that he should not give out all the intelligence at once.
If I can get Emerald Grass this time, not only can she help to research on drugs, I can even make Sanctuary Three be the first place that suppresses the mutation virus in version 2.0. The Sanctuary has my name in it. The safer it is, the more influential I become.
However, Stardragon will know they exchanged Emerald Grass with me. They won't give up this investigation chance, and if they find out that Emerald Grass works here, they might guess I'm Black Phantom, and my identity will be exposed.
While evaluating the risks and benefits, Han Xiao suddenly realized something. He had kept his identity hidden at the start because he had been too weak, but now, with Dark Net backing him up and his strength being at the top of the planet, there was no need to hide from the enemy anymore. At the same time, the Germinal Organization was facing its destruction and could not even take care of themselves. Hiding his identity did not matter anymore.
He suddenly felt delighted.
Without him noticing it, his arch enemy was not gigantic in his eyes anymore. He had grown to be able to face the strongest organization on the planet.
From another perspective, exposing his identity could combine the influence of Zero and Black Phantom and cause a chemical reaction, and he was eighty percent sure that he would get legendary points. The players' impression of him would also increase to another level.
With the things he had done, the players might even mistake him to be the main character of Planet Aquamarine instead of Bennett.
I should take things steadily instead. I will think about my identity after the war starts.
Although Han Xiao saw some benefits, he still decided to act on what would happen.
The Energy Block Extraction Device was still operating, so Han Xiao locked the door and left, surveying the construction progress of the various areas with his hands behind his back.
As he passed by the wall construction area, he suddenly heard a commotion. He stopped in place then walked over.
The engineering team surrounded a large crane helplessly. Seeing that Han Xiao approached, they greeted with respect.
”What's happening?” Han Xiao asked.
”The crane malfunctioned and cannot be turned on. We can't find the cause,” someone said helplessly.
Han Xiao heard this and thought, Wasn't fixing vehicles what I started with?
He rolled up his sleeves and said with excitement, ”Bring the tools over.”
The engineering team only remembered now that their boss was a Mechanic. They hastily brought the parts and the tools over. Han Xiao climbed up the crane to check for the malfunction, and he found it not long after. He took out the tools and started fixing. His hands moved around so incredibly fast that they even created shadows behind them.
The players on the side doing construction work were shocked upon seeing this.
This hand speed matched the power of being single for at least fifty years!
”Turns out single people have an advantage in the Mechanic class,” a player yelled. ”I'm the man who will become the Mechanic King!”
”Sad but true.”
As he repaired, the Great Mechanic Han was in the zone, so he also gave it some enhancements.
He tightened the last screw.
Done!
Han Xiao clapped his hands and told the engineering team to turn it on. The enhanced crane was like it was on steroids and moved so quick that the engineering could not even catch up to its speed. They dodged hastily and jumped around.
At this time, the players welding rebars on the wall suddenly looked at the wilderness and shouted, ”There are some people here!”
Han Xiao quickly climbed the scaffolding of the wall to a higher place and looked out.
A group of people wearing ragged clothes appeared in the wilderness, walking slowly toward the sanctuary.
The wanderers had arrived.This is a reference to the Japanese comic 'One Piece'.
