Chapter 577 Attention from Everywhere, Black Star Army (2/2)
Every now and then, Han Xiao would send the coordinates of the DarkStar motherships to the upper echelons of the War Bureau through Nagakin. Godora intended to destroy DarkStar in one fell swoop and secretly mobilized their forces without making any rash moves.
At the same time, Godora kept the mercenary groups on the payroll as insurance but did not reveal their exact plan to them. Godora only got Sky Ring, Purple Gold, Blades, and the other large mercenary groups to await their orders.
Han Xiao was still on Planet Aquamarine carrying out his plan to recruit the players. The plan was now at its most crucial phase.
By making use of this event, Han Xiao changed the name of his faction through the faction interface and Mercenary Alliance.
The [Black Star Mercenary Group] was renamed to…
[Black Star Army]!
Only large mercenary groups would dare have the word 'Army' in their name.
Because of the addition of a large number of players, Han Xiao's faction had more than ten thousand members. His faction was already at the right level, and the mercenary world probably would not have any complaints about it.
Regarding this decision, Han Xiao gave a speech to all the players and emphasized the fact that their faction was only able to change their name thanks to the players. He wanted to make the players feel as though they were contributing to the growth of the faction.
By changing their name because of such a reason, Han Xiao would be able to cultivate a stronger sense of belonging and team spirit among the players. The players would then feel as though Black Star Army was a faction that belonged to them.
At the same time, this was a signal to the players that they were about to leave Planet Aquamarine and start the next phase of their journey. This was so that the players would have some mental preparation.
The way the players saw it, a change of name in the faction meant that they were about to enter the galaxy!
Of course, all his plans would only work if there were sufficient benefits provided to the players. Han Xiao had to make sure to launch new products from time to time.
Through the exchange center in the galaxy, Han Xiao spent more than 100,000 Enas to purchase new Pugilist and Esper knowledge and placed them in the faction store. What shocked the players the most was that the new knowledge did not require money like in the past but experience!
At the same time, there were no Favorability requirements to fulfil.
With respect to this incident, Han Xiao made an explanation through Phillip.
”The Black Star Army will provide these two Advanced Knowledges 'free of charge' to groom and train the new mercenaries.”
This action of his immediately drove the players mad with excitement!
Han Xiao sold his own Mechanic knowledge using the [Skill Impartation] method, but he sold the knowledge from the other two classes through the faction store. This meant that as long as players joined the Black Star Army, they would be able to learn those two Advanced Knowledges for 'free'!
This immediately became a beginner benefit for those in the faction. It was just like how the players who joined the Godoran faction would be able to acquire knowledge if they accumulated sufficient merit. It was just that Han Xiao had removed all those restrictions and allowed the players to spend experience points to learn the knowledge without spending any money.
The players were overjoyed and felt as though they had made a huge profit!
The players who had entered the galaxy in Version 1.0 shared the price of that Advanced Knowledge in the galaxy. If they did not join a faction, the Advanced Knowledge would cost them tens of thousands of Enas to purchase.
In comparison, the Black Star Army seemed to be the kindest of saints!
The way the players saw it, this was all due to their contribution. It was because of them that the faction could grow to such a size. It was because of them that the faction could change its name and provide such benefits. This was truly a faction that could grow!
Han Xiao intentionally made it so that only experience was required to learn the Advanced Knowledge. His target customers were the players of the other two classes, and his intention was to accumulate experience so that he could quickly hit level 140.
The Great Mechanic Han had over 10,000,000 Enas in his account, and the 100,000 that he had spent was peanuts in his eyes. In fact, he was even too lazy to collect a symbolic fee. Even if he only collected 1 Ena, the effect would have been grossly different from providing it for free.
Advanced Knowledge was a necessity, and the market was essentially all the Planet Aquamarine players of the two other classes!
After spending 100,000 Enas, if Han Xiao could not harvest a good amount of experience, he would be going against his conscience!
This was the only shop where they could purchase Advanced Knowledge at such a good price. None of the players hesitated in the slightest, and the experience points on Han Xiao's interface rapidly shot up.
300,000… 600,000… 1,000,000,000…
The effect of it being 'free' was truly frightening!
Looking at the explosion of his experience points, Han Xiao was in a great mood.
After this harvest of experience, apart from being able to reach level 140, it will probably last me a long while.
…
In just one day, the amount of experience accumulated was enough to bring Han Xiao up to level 140.
In order to get to Grade A, Han Xiao did not even bother repairing his Mechanic Army. This ambush had allowed him to understand that it was best to harvest the vegetables when they were ripe. If he had already been at the Calamity Grade when facing the encirclement of the three Calamity Grade Supers, it would not have been so dangerous for him.
Han Xiao then walked into the training room of his second base and locked the door.
Taking in a deep breath, Han Xiao opened the interface and channeled his experience into increasing his level.
I can finally reach the Calamity Grade and step into the ranks of the powerhouses!
Han Xiao was truly excited.
