Chapter 980 - Settlemen (2/2)
Although he had already learned all the Ultimate Knowledge, the Contribution Points were still useful. He would be able to use them to obtain precious resources or military support. Furthermore, if he had a Beyond Grade A Super willing to remain in his army, he might have to exchange for the Ultimate Knowledge of other classes.
Ultimate Knowledge was guarded by the various advanced civilizations, and they usually would not allow Beyond Grade As to claim the Ultimate Knowledge of another class without a good reason. Making use of the Ultimate Knowledge to attract talent was akin to snatching business from the dynasty. As such, they dynasty would not agree to it, and the various Beyond Grade A allies also would not share Ultimate Knowledge with each other.
The only exception would be if they had a Beyond Grade A officer in their organization. Of course, this was a rare scenario. After all, most Beyond Grade As would not be willing to serve under someone else.
Han Xiao had some memories of the [Civilization Destruction] milestone. The civilizations above the Star System level were all protected by the Peace Treaty, and it was rare for a civilization to be wiped out. Only the players belonging to the various evil factions had a chance to trigger such a milestone.
The effects were not too bad. Wearing the [Civilization Destruction] milestone would increase his damage by six percent and his range by twenty-five percent.
However, the price to pay for obtaining such a milestone was also extremely high. He would need to participate or incite a life and death battle between Star System civilizations, and they were extremely rare. Furthermore, there would be a chance for him to become a wanted individual after the matter.
As part of the Lawful Faction, it would be even harder for him to obtain such a milestone. However, the benefit was that he would not become wanted.
Han Xiao was not too surprised that there was not a Political Asset reward. The Kunde Race was still lacking, and destroying them was not that important to the dynasty. However, he had managed to gain a series of favorability increases.
Apart from Tarrokov and the Ruler, all the various commanders including Teny had their favorability increased.
The dungeon formed was similar to the secret war and Germinal Organization dungeons; he would be able to form various different dungeons.
Because the Kunde Race was not too powerful, the dungeon created also would not be too difficult, but the reward would not be low.
After looking at his rewards, Han Xiao closed the interface and let out a long breath.
Spacetime Splicing Technology, Perfect Mechanical Sense, and the Mission Reward… my rewards this time were plentiful. The Kunde Race is the only obstacle, and the second exploration phase can go back on track after this…
Because of his interference, the outcome of the Kunde Race was changed.
In his previous life, the dynasty spent a long time finding the Kunde Race territory, which gave the Kunde Race enough time to move their civilian fleet. At the same time, the Kunde Race fleet also had sufficient preparation time and was not caught off guard like this time.
Understanding the map gave the Kunde Race a strategic advantage and the chance to analyze the dynasty’s battle tactics. As such, the Kunde Race was not kept in the dark when the dynasty infiltrated their main system but managed to put up a fight.
As such, the Crimson Dynasty did not choose to negotiate but wiped out the Kunde Race.
However, a portion of their civilian fleets were able to escape and were not caught by the dynasty.
What Han Xiao did not know was that the Kunde Race’s new homeland in his previous life was still within the Flickering World. After all, they did not understand what a Star Field was. The dynasty managed to discover the Kunde Race’s new homeland in the exploration process. The dynasty had already placed huge emphasis on the Spacetime Splicing Technology by that time. As such, the Kunde Race’s new homeland was reduced to dust, and they were secretly wiped out.
This time, destiny took a different path.
Han Xiao stroked his chin and entered the quantum network. He was prepared to see how the dynasty planned to deal with the Kunde Race.
…
In the Planet Lighthouse office, there were two figures. The one standing was Tarrokov, and the one seated was Urranrell’s long distance projection.
The dynasty now had to worry about how to deal with the Kunde Race. Should they kill them or rear them? The Ruler and upper echelons had to make such a decision.
Tarrokov was currently giving a report to Urranrell, and they were talking about the problem regarding the captives.
“… It will be seven days before the arrival of the captives. Your Excellency, how should we deal with them?”
Urranrell then stroked her chin and said, “The upper echelons have already discussed this matter. Some support the idea of pulling up the weeds by the roots while others feel that we should rear and educate them. We have not come to a final decision. Do you have any suggestions?”
“The battle went smoothly, and since the enemy chose to surrender, I don’t feel that there is a need to kill them unnecessarily,” Tarrokov said. “We can choose to let them stay on a few planets within the dynasty’s territory and keep a close watch over them. We shouldn’t allow them to enter the Galactic Society temporarily and educate a few generations.
“If the outcome is good, we can make them into a vassal civilization. At that time, we can let them into the Galactic Society.”
During war, he killed without any hesitation and would kill without even batting an eye. But outside of war, he was not a bloodthirsty individual.
“If this is the case, we will have to divide them out, and we need their leader to help us,” Urranrell said.
“Yes, I am preparing to interrogate their leader later. Right, we conducted a series of tests on the upper echelons of the Kunde Race and detected some oddities within their mental state. They seem to have been affected by a Psychic Current to enlarge the regions of their brain in charge of anger and rashness.”
Upon hearing that, a cold light flashed in Urranrell’s eyes.
“Ah, it’s the actions of those Star Cluster Civilizations again. They not only threw a bag of technological knowledge but also made use of a Psychic Current. If not, the other party might not have been so aggressive. Who was the one most affected by the Psychic Current? It should be their leader, right?”
“Wrong. The Kunde Race leader was the least affected.”
Urranrell shook her head with resignation. “That’s interesting. Is this something unique to their species?”
Beep beep.
Right at this moment, the communicator on the table rang. Tarrokov pressed a button, and his secretary’s voice could be heard.
“Chief commander, Black Star is on the line. Should I connect his long-distance projection?”
“Why is he here now?” Tarrokov muttered before shaking his head. “I am giving a report to the Ruler. Ask him to wait for a while.”
Right at this moment, Urranrell waved her hands. “It’s alright. Let him in. He isn’t an outsider.”
“… Alright then.”
Since the Ruler was willing, Tarrokov did not mind.
Very quickly, Han Xiao’s projection appeared in the room, and he immediately saw Urranrell.
“Your Excellency, you are also here.”
“Black Star, I heard of your contributions during this war. Good job.” Urranrell nodded.
“My contributions were negligible,” Han Xiao said humbly. “What are both of you talking about?”
“Nothing much. We are talking about how we should deal with the Kunde Race. A decision hasn’t been made yet…” Urranrell then repeated the conversation simply before asking, “Black Star, do you have any suggestions?”
“I don’t have any opinions. I am also here to ask the dynasty about how they plan to deal with this matter.” Han Xiao raised his brow.
“Not having opinions is also a type of opinion.” Urranrell then did not say anything.
She then looked at Tarrokov and got him to continue the report.
After listening to the report, Urranrell praised both of them before going offline.
After sending the Ruler away, Tarrokov looked at Han Xiao with a smile.
“I am going to interrogate the Kunde Race upper echelons. Do you want to join me?”
“Er, I am actually very busy.” Han Xiao stroked his chin and said with a joking voice, “But since you invited me, I shall reluctantly go with you.”
Perhaps he could trigger a special mission like with the DarkStar leader.
