Chapter 631 Prologue of the Crimson Tide, Request From a Star Cluster Civilization (2/2)
Han Xiao then changed the topic and said, ”The information you have given me is indeed valuable. I have a mission for you guys…”
As he was speaking, he quickly wrote a reward mission and gave it to the players. Its rewards were very rich, and there was even a reward where they could pick one piece of equipment for free. Overjoyed, Frenzied Sword and the others quickly accepted the mission.
Han Xiao gave them a few words of compliment and gave them five points of Favorability. His Favorability was like a product discount. Then, he told Sylvia to send away the satisfied Frenzied Sword, Hao Tian, Bun-Hit-Dog, and the rest.
After they left, Han Xiao leaned back, crossed his legs, and started pondering.
He had always been paying attention to the players. All the players had left their own novice planets and entered the galaxy. Among the others, his Black Star Army was undoubtedly the best guiding faction. The players from Planet Aquamarine were all fed very well and healthy. The second Pro League was about to start. He had quite high hopes for the performance of the Chinese clubs this time as well.
Most players had reached the level limit of level ninety; they would be able to make use of more of their class specialty. Their strategies would vary, so this season would be more exciting than the previous one.
The better the results of the Chinese clubs, the more attractive his faction would become. When the players entered the stage of inter-Star-Field travel in the future, his faction would be able to attract players from other areas. No number of leeks would ever be too much for Han Xiao.
These Genetic Medicines will be very popular.
Han Xiao smiled. After sucking dry countless galactic pirates, he had a lot of these stocked up in the warehouse.
After looking at the forums for a while, just as Han Xiao was about to get up and play with the cuties in the machinery modification room, Sylvia suddenly entered the room.
”Teacher, there's an important invitation.”
”Invitation?”
”Colton Star Cluster's ruling civilization, the Purple Crystal Civilization, wants to hire you specifically.”
Star Cluster Civilization!
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled.
The Black Star Army's business was limited to Star System Civilizations and had yet to get in touch with any Star Cluster Civilizations. Although Han Xiao had gotten the contact of a Purple Crystal Civilization official during Tyrant's party, the requests made by Star Cluster Civilizations were all given to selected groups—the Black Star Army was not in them.
Now, they had finally received a mission from a Star Cluster Civilization. The Purple Crystal Civilization was the ruler of Colton. As they had invited him by name, it seemed rather important.
Completing a mission from a Star Cluster Civilization would add a huge amount of value to the resume of the army.
A few years ago, Han Xiao had no contact with any Star Cluster Civilizations because he was in no position to, but now he could.
Furthermore, contacting a Star Cluster Civilization was something that he could not avoid on his path of personal growth.
In the past two years, Han Xiao had learned almost all the High-End Knowledges; he now had to look for the next stage of knowledge—Cutting-Edge Knowledges. Star Cluster Civilizations were a very important part of gaining Cutting-Edge Knowledges.
This is an opportunity!
Han Xiao told Phillip to transfer the communication and added protection to the channel at the same time.
The image flashed, and a familiar face appeared. It was the Purple Crystal Civilization representative whom Han Xiao had met during Tyrant's party, Ralph.
”Black Star, it's been some time,” Ralph said in a friendly manner.
Han Xiao chatted with him a little before they started to get down to business.
”You people wanted to hire me specifically?”
”That's right. Your army has a very good name, so you're one of our top choices.”
”And what are the mission's details?”
”It's an elimination operation. The target is a fleet. They have disguised themselves as travelers, but their background is much more complicated than that. We plan to eliminate this fleet as a warning to the people behind them.”
Ralph described the situation very vaguely. Han Xiao could not help but guess what the organization that the Purple Crystal Civilization wanted to warn was.
After giving it a little bit of thinking, he had a rough idea.
Purple Crystal had decided to find mercenaries to deal with this instead of doing it themselves, which was clearly not because they were not able to, but the identity of the enemies was sensitive, which caused Purple Crystal to not want to do things the official way.
”Klentans?” Han Xiao spoke softly. Purple Crystal and Klent looked like they had a very good relationship, but they were targeting each other secretly. In his previous life, Purple Crystal and Klent had even fought.
Ralph smiled and did not answer this question. He changed the topic and said, ”There has been a lot of unrest in the Shattered Star Ring recently. These organizations have been crossing the line more and more, so they have to be dealt with.”
Han Xiao stroked his chin.
Two years had passed, and the effects of the Crimson Tide had been fermenting. Many organizations wanted to make use of it, so many organizations had been showing themselves, the disorder was spreading quickly. The waves created by the Crimson Dynasty made civilizations that stayed neutral such as the Purple Crystal Civilization very annoyed. Strange things kept happening in the Colton Star Cluster, and the security of their territories had become more and more threatened. Purple Crystal finally could not take it anymore and decided to make an example of these people.
”So, Black Star, do you want to accept our hire?”
”Let's talk about the reward first.”
”Of course, what do you want?”
”Mechanic Cutting-Edge Knowledge,” Han Xiao replied.
Ralph's face became troubled when he heard this.
”That might not be possible. Cutting-Edge Knowledges are very precious. The people above will not agree. I can only pay you with money…” Ralph paused momentarily. ”However, you're Floating Dragon's officer, and we respect Ames a lot. Therefore, if we have the chance to work together again in the future, Cutting-Edge Knowledge might not be impossible.”
Cutting-Edge Knowledge is indeed not easy to obtain… Han Xiao had expected this, so he was not disappointed.
What Ralph meant between the lines was, this hire was like an entry ticket for the Black Star Army. If he completed it, Purple Crystal would hire him for more missions in the future. Once he made a big enough contribution, Purple Crystal would be willing to give him Cutting-Edge Knowledges. It was basically the path of increasing Faction Favorability.
Cutting-Edge Knowledges were very precious; only at this stage could one study antimatter, psionic energy, and the like. Han Xiao did not think that there was a problem with the way Purple Crystal was doing it. Nothing was free in the world—he needed Cutting-Edge Knowledges, and Purple Crystal needed stronger unofficial military power to do things for them privately. It was all part of a deal.
Han Xiao pondered for a while before nodding. ”Okay, I can try it.”
”Great.” Ralph smiled. ”I will send you a gathering location later. There are other people on this mission. The mission details will be sent to you later.”
”Okay.” Han Xiao had no objection. This was not the first time that he had a group mission like this.
