Chapter 430 Poison Assassination (2/2)
Sylvia… this name sounds kind of familiar.
He did not want to give up even the slightest doubt. He returned to his room and pondered for more than ten minutes. Finally, he found someone in his memories who had this name.
[Mechanical Lady Knight] Sylvia?
Han Xiao froze for a second. He did not expect the teenage girl that he had met coincidentally to be a known character. Furthermore, in the storyline of his previous life, Sylvia was very well known and was especially popular among the players.
Sylvia was still a young girl now. Han Xiao recalled her look in his previous life after 'growing up'—long hair, valiant and fearless, wearing light mechanical armor and a cape, just like a knight.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
What was a very important factor in determining the attractiveness of a female character? Parodies!
Sylvia had a lot of parodies and being pretty was just one factor. After all, there were way too many pretty females in Galaxy. The more important reason was her background, identity, personality, and storyline.
Beauty was never Han Xiao's focus. He recalled Sylvia's character background. It was way too long ago, so he could only vaguely remember.
Sylvia's father was chased by a certain mercenary group and died. She was still young back then, so she took the path of revenge. She moved from forces to forces, learned Mechanic class knowledges, and became a galactic pirate chasing after that mercenary group.
In the timeline of that version, due to the Crimson Empire expanding once again, all the Star Fields could only care about themselves. The large mercenary groups in various Star Clusters of the Shattered Star Ring mimicked the mercenaries in the Silver Arm Star Field, creating the Shattered Star Ring Alliance. They turned themselves into an enormous mercenary group with millions of members and tens of thousands of battleships of all kinds of models, more than enough to take part in even large space wars.
Sylvia was the arch-enemy of the mercenary alliance.
Players back then took part in the mercenary alliance event. In their eyes, Sylvia was a renowned villain boss of the opposite party. Many players received missions to chase and kill Sylvia, but they all failed. Sylvia was too strong.
During the times of opposing the mercenary alliance, Sylvia often appeared in the eyes of the players. Then, through what looked like an accident, she discovered that her father was the bad guy and knew that her father deserved his death. She then disappeared for a period of time. When she reappeared, she was not a galactic pirate anymore; she became a freedom fighter of Shattered Star Ring, helping the people who were victims of harm, dealing with some criminals, and being responsible for quite a number of famous events. Furthermore, they rejected rewards or requests in any form; all their actions came from themselves. They were like Superheroes… Basically, she reformed.
Although Sylvia was not the main character of a certain event, she was a renowned character like Hila. She was involved in many events in the Shattered Star Ring. When the players wandered in space, they would sometimes bump into her fighting bad guys and could choose to help her. She was loved by many in Shattered Star Ring… These were all things that happened after Version 3.0
Han Xiao shook his head. Sylvia's reform process and her experience of turning from someone with so much hatred into someone as righteous as a knight were filled with opportunities for parodies, such as…
Bah! Why am I thinking of this?
Didn't expect to meet a future celebrity…
Han Xiao stroked his chin.
For some reason, he felt somewhat strange, like he had missed some important information.
…
Floating Dragon Island was in the Rain Star System of the Colton Star Cluster. There was a small star gate on their way that could teleport them, and the traveling time was about ten days.
Every day, Han Xiao built machinery and traded with the players.
He did not pay much attention to the league, only looking at the results. The top four teams were decided. Long Sky stopped at the top eight after facing Devil, who were ranked first, and were defeated 1:3. It was quite regretful. Dynasty defeated Rose Knight 3:2, advancing to top four. Japan's Hydra defeated Australia's Kangaroo Boxing 3:1. The top four teams were Tulips, Devil, Dynasty, and Hydra.
The upcoming grouping was extremely important. It seemed like the prayers of countless Chinese spectators had an effect; Dynasty's next opponent was team Hydra. Compared to the steady Tulips and extremely strong Devil, Hydra was no doubt a weaker opponent. Dynasty had the most confidence in defeating Hydra as compared to the other two teams. The Chinese panel in the forums was practically celebrating already.
In terms of Singles, King Admiral advanced to top eight, Frenzied Sword stopped at top sixteen. But Frenzied Sword was very satisfied; he was already overjoyed that he could enter the second round of the International League, a result that was much higher than his initial expectations. Compared to Frenzied Sword's ranking in Han Xiao's previous life, this was indeed a huge improvement. In his previous life, Frenzied Sword did not even make it into the International League, but now, he was one of the top sixteen players on the International League. Frenzied Sword benefitted the most, and his position among the Chinese players rocketed from nobody to a Supernova.
Ten days later, the spaceship exited the jumping state. Floating Dragon was only half a day away.
It was dining time. Han Xiao walked out of the machinery modification room and came to the dining hall. This was the usual dining area, so many people were eating there. The food was all portable space food, so it could not be considered delicious, but it was not tasteless either.
Herlous called for him from the bar.
”Have a drink?” Herlous had a bottle of liquor in front of him, the alcohol made his face slightly red.
”Almost forgot you're an alcoholic.” Han Xiao sat down, and the bartender passed him a new cup. Herlous laughed, lifted the liquor bottle, and poured him a cup.
Han Xiao shook his head and lifted up the cup. Just as he was going to drink it, his movement suddenly stopped, and an unknown alert appeared in his heart.
Frowning slightly, he looked at the object introduction on his interface.

Bang!
The smashing sound shocked everyone. They put their food down and looked over in surprise.
Han Xiao held the bartender's collar, pressed the panicking bartender on the bar table, and said coldly without an expression, ”You added poison‽”
