Chapter 404 Triple Trigger, Origins of Large Events! (2/2)
”Holy… It's these two things!” Han Xiao's breathing stopped for a moment. His eyes were fixed on these things. He finally understood why DarkStar had spent so much effort in tracking this down. The significance of these two things was beyond ordinary—he had almost snatched DarkStar's lifeblood away!
These two things were connected to two huge conspiracies of DarkStar—they were the origin of two big events! One of them was Planet Aquamarine's main storyline in Version 2.0—Mutation Disaster!
He had a flash of insight and connected the dots.
DarkStar bought these items from another organization. The seller is outside Shattered Star Ring, so they chose to send one of their subordinates to deliver the goods, who happened to be a Silver. He followed a tourist group here and planned to deliver the goods secretly. However, just as the Silvers were having a tour, they were suddenly robbed by slavers. The carrier was unlucky as hell, and that forced DarkStar to come and find the goods. Then, coincidentally, the other Silvers hired us… They did not know about the deal behind this. Everything that happened was because of the first accident.
Han Xiao was astonished. Through many coincidences, he had ruined DarkStar's secret deal and robbed them of the goods that they had spent an outrageous amount of money to buy!
Secret organizations selling this kind of product were like arms dealers. DarkStar itself did not have the technology to research new 'weapons'—they could only buy them. The Mutation Source was already generation seven, so it had definitely been tested in another place before.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, more than one notification of triggering a new mission popped up in the interface.

The Main Storyline mission of the next version!
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled in surprise. He did not expect to trigger the main storyline of Version 2.0 in advance.
The main storyline mission of the Mutation Disaster was not an individual mission but a mission carried out by all players. Planet Aquamarine needed thirty million progress points, and every player's actions would be added into the progress. There were many stages of the Mutation Disaster, and the virus would grow, causing the progress to drop by large portions. The mission requirement was to complete the requirements before the virus grew into its unstoppable mature stage. It required all players to work together.
This mission is different from the one players would receive. I remember that the players' mission is just to protect Planet Aquamarine, but my target includes other planets as well… Is it because I got the Mutation Source?
Han Xiao was a little surprised. This was a good thing; it gave him more choices. Of course, he was definitely going to protect Planet Aquamarine first. Not only was it his home, but it was also for the players of the next version.
The status of the mission at this moment was frozen. Only when the timeline reached Version 2.0 and the disaster broke out would the mission start. What he was thinking was how to make full use of the Mutation Source in his hands in order to achieve the biggest impact.
The key component of solving the Mutation Disaster is Godora. In my previous life, Godora took a very long time to invent the cure. If I give them the mutation source, they will be able to invent the cure earlier…
Han Xiao contemplated on the issue. This was probably the best way to maximize the use of the mutation source. However, he had to think of when he should give it to Godora. If he gave it to them too early, the contribution points would not be counted into the mission, and he would be suspected too.
He searched through his memories and had a rough plan. The details had to be improved, but he let it aside for the moment. He looked at the other two new missions.
