Chapter 589 Recorded in History (1/2)
”How come Black Star is able to obtain the Golden Gal Badge‽”
At this moment, countless galactic residents were shocked, their faces full of doubts.
The intelligence that Han Xiao had provided had not been disclosed yet. Furthermore, many people still remembered Han Xiao's identity as well as his deeds. If the medal was issued to an unknown character, most people would only have felt that the person was mysterious and be curious about them. However, giving the medal to someone who had already formed an impression in their hearts instead resulted in a great amount of shock for the community!
Pairs of dumbfounded eyes stared at Han Xiao, only to see him walk to stand side by side with the leader of Godora, Serbia the Fifth.
Serbia the Fifth changed to a solemn tone as he proclaimed, ”Black Star is the key person who provided the coordinates of the DarkStar motherships. He is the biggest contributor to the elimination of DarkStar! His boldness and caution allowed him to infiltrate and crack the stealth system of DarkStar, foiling their survival efforts and allowing us to monitor their movements. Without him, we would not have been able to obtain victory!”
Black Star was the linchpin that provided the intelligence‽
Hearing this news, everyone present came to their senses.
The skepticism in the Godorans' eyes was immediately replaced by surprise, admiration, gratitude, and even reverence.
The various Army Commanders suddenly burst out into conversation. It was no wonder Black Star was favored by Godora. Everything could be explained now.
It turned out, this war employment of theirs was actually a deal facilitated by Black Star himself! Their armies were just the party enjoying the benefits!
Justin blushed, feeling that he had become a laughingstock.
That time, he had asked Black Star if he was worthy. Most likely, he would be mocked till he could not show his face.
On the other side, the various reporters froze for a moment, realizing the key issue here.
DarkStar was ephemeral, coming and going like ghosts, but Black Star was actually able to track their coordinates. In truth, he was the root cause of DarkStar's demise!
He single-handedly supported the war! He rewrote the power structure of the Garton Star System!
Rather than saying that Godora had borrowed the intelligence of Black Star to defeat DarkStar, it could even be seen as Black Star borrowing the knife that was Godora to kill the villains who destroyed his hometown, DarkStar!
Such a character… how scary!
Many of them were struck by inspiration. The reporters were in a frenzy, burying their heads and scribbling hastily.
Han Xiao accepted the stares as he stood on the stage. The camera broadcast his handsome face onto the virtual screens of every Godoran family.
The impact caused by this news further propelled the reaction that the residents had toward Han Xiao repelling the DarkStar elites a while ago. The effect could only be described as sensational. Han Xiao's appearance and deeds had been imprinted on the hearts of the countless viewers, and they could not forget him even if they wanted to.
It was a pity that the award ceremony did not arrange for him to give a speech, or else he would have been able to utilize his skills. Right now, he could only be a mascot to receive praise on stage.
The ceremony of awarding the title had a grand and formal process. After going through the ceremony, Serbia the Fifth received a golden medal from the attendant beside him. The medal had an image of God Gal carved on it.
He personally awarded the medal, pinning it solemnly on Han Xiao's chest.
”I represent Godora in thanking you for your contribution.”
Han Xiao suddenly had the impression that he was an Olympic champion being bestowed the gold medal. He reached out to touch the Golden Gal Badge and had an urge to bring it up to bite on it, to check if it was real gold.
After receiving the highest honor of Godora, he could not just remain passive. In theory, it was time for him to state a phrase of thanks to Godora. However, Han Xiao thought about it before stretching out his hand and giving a firm handshake to Serbia the Fifth before putting on a 'sincere' smile on his face.
”It was a great cooperation. Our Black Star Army will accept all legal employment, and we operate with integrity. Please, do not hesitate to choose the Black Star Army, and you can rest assured… oh, and I hope that the friendship between us will continue.”
In Han Xiao's mind, the bigger the occasion, the more suitable it was to advertise. Since they were not subordinates of Godora, just giving out pleasantries of thanking each other would be too boring for the viewers. As the saying goes, as long as one has the guts, even wheat can have a yield of 18,000 kilograms per acre of land!
Besides, could Godora still take back the medal in front of everyone watching?
F*ck me, at such a grand and formal occasion, you actually came out with an advertisement… The smile on Serbia the Fifth's face instantly froze, the phrase 'MMP' almost coming out from his throat. He forcefully swallowed it and maintained his slight smile with difficulty.
I am the leader of the Godorans. I cannot be seen uttering any profanities…
Pa!
The various Army Commanders facepalmed on the spot. We're all colleagues, but to dare use such a venue to make an advertisement, your courage surpasses all of us here.
”Truly my teacher, even his shameless mannerisms are still so handsome!” Sylvia was staring with sparkling eyes.
Hila suddenly had a sense of relief. This guy indeed had not changed and still had that nasty streak within him!
Kacha!
Countless cameras captured the moment of the duo shaking hands, as though carving this memory into the river of time.
In the eyes of the players, this scene seemed to have a significance on par with an epic tale. Looking at Han Xiao, who had mentioned the Black Star Army, many players suddenly felt inexplicable excitement and pride, as though it was their honor.
Galaxy Calendar, Year 692, the 25th day of the 5th Month.
Godora had launched a comprehensive counterattack on DarkStar, annihilating them. Black Star was revealed as their key source of intelligence, and his actions had practically rewritten the power structure of the Garton Star System. The Black Star Army had also participated in the counterattack, codenamed [Operation Hodellas].
In the 6th Month of the same year, Black Star was awarded the Golden Gal Badge by Godora's Supreme Leader, Serbia the Fifth. He became the first non-Godoran to have received this honor in history.
Time seemed to stand still as all the events were written into history.
The Shattered Star Ring was thrown into chaos!
…
After the formal ceremony was a celebration for the civilization. The people applauded and cheered for the destruction of DarkStar.
At the end of the ceremony, Han Xiao, under the aggrieved stare of Serbia the Fifth, took the official hovercraft for the reception and returned to the guest house with the other Army Commanders.
On the way, Gureja, Underworld Feather, and the other Army Commanders were all cozying up to Han Xiao.
After the award presentation, everyone knew in their hearts that the Black Star Army was the one that had benefitted the most and had successfully made a name for themselves. They would obtain a continuous flow of tasks in the future, so Han Xiao's position in their hearts had gone up a few notches. The moment they had the opportunity, they would try to connect more with him.
When the hovercraft stopped at the guest house, Han Xiao, who was already frustrated from all the talking, hurriedly pried himself away from everyone, returning to his room.
Once he closed the door, Han Xiao drank some water and caught his breath. Only then did he take out the Golden Gal Badge, holding it in front of his eyes to analyze.
An introduction popped out on his interface.
