In nine months, Black Star Mercenary Group's resume had become a lot richer.
With players as the combat power, not only did they not suffer any manpower reduction, but their income was increased too; it was very convenient. In the nine months, he had only taken on hiring missions from partners. They had grown while keeping a low profile and made quite a fortune.
His savings were now 784,000 Enas. Other than buying some materials, metals, and parts to build new machinery, he had saved the rest and planned to use it to complete the class advancement mission. With so much money, buying one high-end knowledge would not be a problem, but it would be difficult to buy two.
According to the standard of galactical mercenaries, Planet Dawn's mission was very easy; therefore, the reward was not high. However, he had not accepted the mission for the reward alone.
Han Xiao planned to gain some information about the Mutation Disaster on Planet Dawn, so he told the spaceships waiting outside Planet Dawn to leave first. He had hitched a ride with the spaceship to this place. It was really great to have so many partners; he did not have to spend money on traveling at all. It was even better than Uber.
The dim light from the communicator's screen reflected on his face.
The International League is in a few days. After the things here are done, I shall bring the team back to Juberly Hub. Three months ago… which is two weeks ago for the players, the Competition Alliance announced the system for the first international finals. The online store will be selling Gathering Crystals to the qualified players, which has a similar effect to Dungeon Crystals and will gather them from all planets to a simulated stadium. The entire competition will be recorded and broadcast live in all channels.
The system of the first season was the same as the previous life. The international competition would only be held in real environments after the players were able to carry out interstellar travel. By then, the stage would be planets and star systems.
The players from the Chinese clubs had been following him for a year; they had earned a lot, and their equipment was very strong. Thus, their performance in the international competition would definitely be better than in his previous life.
In his previous life, the performance of the Chinese clubs in the first season had been quite enraging. To avoid spoiling their reputation or taking the blame, their battle style had been very cowardly and time-consuming or way too steady. Sometimes, they were able to outlast the enemy, but sometimes, after stalling and wasting a lot of time, they still lost. It was difficult and upsetting to watch.
Hence, it had led to very few people watching the competition every time the Chinese teams were competing. The players preferred to watch other countries' contestants passionately fight each other and would all directly skip the fights with Chinese teams. Although China's result in the first season was acceptable, they did not make any impression or notable performance at all. Their first impression on players around the world was that they were very good at dealing with pressure.
If they don't fight tougher this time, they will've followed me for nothing.
When the International League ends, the version update should come soon too. The players will disappear temporarily, and by then, the rewards from accepting requests will not be as high anymore. When the time comes, I shall not do mercenary work for some time. Since moving in a team is more mobile and swifter, it's more suitable to do some preparation for Version 2.0 Mutation Disaster. It's going to require some planning. While doing that, I can also recruit some main character type people and increase the number of officers…
As he was thinking, Han Xiao's senses felt a tiny abnormality. Han Xiao's eyes swayed, and he stood up and walked out of the tent. It was silent. He looked around and was stunned for a second.
The prison car in the middle of the camp was gone. Rezar was nowhere to be found, and the guards were missing too.
”Escaped?”
He did not want any accidents to happen on the mission, so he equipped his mechanical suit and scanned with its radar. Then he discovered that Rezar's signal was in a small forest just outside the camp. Beside him were signals from about a dozen soldiers, and there was another individual signal hidden not far away from them. That signal's strength was much higher than the soldiers'. Han Xiao checked through the database and realized that it was unexpectedly from the commander of the Knights, Rex.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
The other soldiers are all asleep. What are they taking Rezar to the bush at night for? Holy, can it be…
Han Xiao took a deep breath in.
That is an old man!
They have a really unique taste!
Han Xiao walked into the forest on tiptoes, terrified, ready to turn away and run anytime he saw something dirty. He activated his night vision and looked inside the forest extremely carefully.
Rezar was tied tightly by the magic suppressing chains, and a few knights surrounded him with steel swords in their hands.
Their lips moved, and they seemed to be saying something. Han Xiao increased the output of the sound collection function in the battle suit and heard their conversation.
”I will ask you one last time, where did you get the ceremony from?”
”I found a stone tablet under the Ancient Ruins, on it was the incomplete method of carrying out the ceremony. I changed the spell into using blood as the energy source. How many more times do you want me to say it?”
”Who else knows about this spell?”
”No one. After I memorized the spell, I destroyed the tablet. Do you think I would tell others such a dangerous spell? It's only safe in my hands.”
