Chapter 882 - Meeting, Second Chain Mission Completed (2/2)
Hearing that, Nero’s hand trembled, and the pen dropped onto the table with a ‘clack’ sound. His entire bearing appeared to have been frozen stiff.
Han Xiao smirked.
You’re truly a devil…
This time, the door opened again, and Feidin, clad in loose blue robes, walked in. Seeing Han Xiao, he was surprised but revealed a warm smile. “Black Star, you’re here as well.”
“What are you here for?” Han Xiao’s brows rose.
“I’m here to see Nero.” Feidin laughed. “And to play some cards with him.”
Nero immediately threw himself into Feidin’s bosom, as though he had met his savior. He conveniently turned back and stuck his tongue out toward Han Xiao.
“Cough cough, Feidin comes to play cards with Nero every now and then. That’s his free time,” Reynold explained.
Han Xiao had an amazed expression on his face, as though asking, You actually will give him time to play?
“Er… once every half a month.”
Oh, I was wrong.
Since it was rare to have any playtime, Nero excitedly took out the Wayne Cards and pulled on Feidin’s sleeves to begin. Feidin smiled and took out his cards leisurely, beginning to battle with Nero.
Seeing this situation, Han Xiao’s brows twitched. He felt that Feidin was very fond of Nero. Could it be that Feidin and Chen Xing were unable to produce children?
While Han Xiao did not enjoy playing cards, he knew the rules well. Standing by the side, he could not help but suck in a deep breath.
Was this the so-called battle between two lucky stars?
He seemed to see the Goddess of Fortune playing against herself, fighting on both sides!
Seeing Nero’s practiced hand movements, Han Xiao felt a little heartache.
My little cub… in the end, you have still been infected by Hadavy and Herlous.
Seems like I need to correct this.
Han Xiao endured his laughter as he threw a [Luck Curse] toward Nero. He shook his head and stealthily left the scene.
…
Over the next few days, Han Xiao took the time to adapt to his newly increased strength and also cleared a few miscellaneous tasks, preparing for the meeting with the Federation of Light.
The spaceship landed at the headquarters of the Black Star Army, and Mona led a group of people off the spaceship. They were led to a reception room under the guidance of the reception robot.
Seated at the reception room, Han Xiao waited for a moment before the doors opened, and the emissary team from the Federation of Light appeared. They greeted each other before taking their seats.
“The Federation of Light’s Advanced Combatant Team Sergeant, Mona.” Mona gave a simple introduction.
Sensing that the other party was a Calamity Grade, Han Xiao opened the interface panel to take a look. Indeed, after being in contact with someone belonging to the tribe of Spacetime Freezer, the mission of the Spacetime Amber showed a change.

Han Xiao was overjoyed but did not show it on his face. With an increased connection to the Spacetime Amber, he had also developed a closer feeling to the amber, and from his senses, the Spacetime Amber seemed to have transformed into something that he had used for a long time.
This meant that his efficiency in creating the amber balls would also increase. However, he was now in a meeting with people and was unable to test it out.
Han Xiao glanced at the third series of the chain mission.

Third Chain Mission Requirements: Proceed to the ancestral land of the Spacetime Freezer, and take his body to visit his homeland.
_____________________
Okay, so this is not a coincidence any longer… Han Xiao murmured to himself internally.
The ancestral land of the Spacetime Freezer was located within the territory of the Federation of Light. If he wished to complete the third mission, he had to personally make a visit. After all, it was impossible for the other party to bring the entire planet to him.
Closing his interface, Han Xiao cut to the chase. “The Federation of Light has few dealings with me. May I ask for your purpose in visiting me?”
“It’s like this. The Federation of Light is curious about your Spacetime Amber,” Mona said with a straight face. “After checking our records, we found out that the Spacetime Amber seems to have some relation with one of the Beyond Grade As in our history.”
“Oh, there was such a thing?” Han Xiao feigned surprise, but he was actually shocked. To think that the Federation of Light even held secret records relating to the Spacetime Freezer and even made such an informed guess.
As for the Federation of Light expressing their interest in the Spacetime Amber, he did not find that surprising. Basically every single organization in Galaxy was curious about his two Universal Treasures and were probably researching them.
“Do you know about the Spacetime Freezer?” Mona asked.
Han Xiao had to put on a show, and thus, after a while, he nodded, his expression unchanging as he replied, “Let me check.”
“Oh, now I know. What you mean is that the Spacetime Freezer and the Spacetime Amber are related, right?”
Mona had been observing Han Xiao’s expression but could not deduce anything, so he could only continue the conversation.
“We cannot confirm this either, so it is only a hypothesis. I am one of the descendants related to the Spacetime Freezer, so I requested for the Federation of Light to help me get into contact with you to understand the origin of the Spacetime Amber.”
“Why should I care about the history of the Spacetime Amber? How does that benefit me?”
Han Xiao raised his brows, but he was clear of the answer himself.
The reason the Federation of Light did this was because he could be considered to have picked up this Universal Treasure by luck and did not understand its history. Thus, the Federation of Light sent Mona as a descendant of the Spacetime Freezer to contact him and search for his ancestor’s traces. However, the Federation of Light knew that Han Xiao would not buy this reason and thus only used it to get closer to him.
“Rest assured. Because this involves the ancestor of our entire race, the Federation of Light is only helping us to investigate it and add information of this new Universal Treasure into the public database. We have no other plans regarding your Spacetime Amber,” Mona explained.
“I believe you.” Han Xiao had on a straight expression. “Really.”
