Chapter 1271 - The Art of Managing Leeks (1/2)
Everyone discussed the mission title.
The Calamity of the Supers should have been the name of Version 5.0, but now that it had its name changed to Black Star’s Era, no one was familiar with this term.
This mission was not issued by Han Xiao himself but rather automatically generated by the interface. This was similar to the Main Storyline of Version 5.0 in Han Xiao’s previous life, except for some subtle changes, such as Han Xiao’s presence.
Everyone went to read the Mission Introduction.
_____________________
This is a crisis that affects the entire Superpower class. There is a deep-rooted contradiction between individual power and collective civilization. Black Star chose the route of seeking peace through deterrence, taking the initiative to ignite the fuse and detonating this calamity in order to create a new era. As a Super, you should have your own position and philosophy in this storm. Choose your faction, and fight for it.
As a member of the Black Star Army, it is hoped that you will stand at the front of the army in such times of crisis, to complete the great goal of the Black Star Army.

Everyone continued reading and saw that this Main Storyline was more of a faction struggle. As an S-ranked Main Storyline, it stretched for a long period, allowing players to continuously accumulate rewards. However, they were required to choose a faction to participate in this storm to fight for, and everyone’s faction there was preset as the Black Star Army. During this storyline, every time they completed the assigned missions given by their faction, they would obtain extra Contribution Points and Experience, which was very tempting.
“The rewards are plenty, and the mission rewards are even higher than the previous versions. The bar has been raised once again.”
“This is an incident that affects the entire Superpower class, so it feels more impactful compared to the previous version of Flickering World development. While the version also mobilized the entire universe, it focused on exploration, and most of the events were confined to a single Star Field. There was little impact on the other regions. Furthermore, this Calamity of the Supers seems very antagonistic at first glance, since Supers permeate across the whole universe. This will cause the entire Galactic Society to become turbulent.”
“Actually, I feel that this is pretty good as well. The Main Storyline came out as soon as the version opened, and our goal is clear.”
Everyone talked in small groups, feeling extremely delighted.
While it felt a bit sudden to get involved in such a big event as soon as they came online, the army players quickly accepted this reality, excited.
After marveling at Black Star’s deeds for a while longer, the players finally shifted their attention to the other aspects of version update changes.
“That’s right, fifty years have passed. The army should have upgraded a lot of their internal products. Let’s take a look.”
It did not take long for someone to open up the army’s faction store to check on the equipment and weapons provided.
The equipment sold by the army had always been the focal point for the players. While it was a little pricey, the quality was guaranteed, and its performance was excellent. After-care repair and enhancement services were even thrown in. A large number of players were thus using the army standard suits. Every time the Army Logistics Department launched a new series of equipment, it would be the time for the army players to collectively improve their overall combat capabilities. At the same time, they could also lose the weight in their wallets.
With a glance, the players all froze before shouting out in joy.
The number of products offered by the army had doubled compared to before the version update. There was a lot more equipment, including weapons, raw materials and special props that had never been seen before, and they were all high-quality items even when compared to the current update and iteration.
Many of this technology came from Jayz’s treasure trove, and Han Xiao merely picked up a few suitable ones to throw toward the logistics department, allowing them to greatly expand the scale of the faction’s unique products.
“Yo, the army has done a lot of research in the past few decades. There are so many new products now!”
“I’m still wearing the 7th Generation battlesuit, but they’ve already updated to the 12th Gen, and the performance has been optimized so much!”
“It’s over. My current suit is now outdated. Replacing it will require a large sum of money, and I still have to strengthen, refine, and enchant it… I feel that my wallet is going to die.”
The players’ eyes turned red upon seeing so much good stuff. Their desire to buy was unprecedentedly strong.
It was a pity that the national war and the Pro League at the end of Version 4.0 had emptied the accumulations of most people. They could only channel their desire to buy stuff into the desire to earn money.
At this moment, the players received an internal email from the Army Commander.
In the email, Han Xiao represented the army in welcoming the return of the Immortals, declaring that the current situation was sensitive, and thus, he hoped that everyone could be a little more low key. At the end of the letter, a note was also attached, indicating that their previous location for the national war, Planet Milton, had been purchased by the army and would be given to the Golden Alliance as a gift.
No one was expecting such a bombshell, and they suddenly felt dizzy from the surprise at their luck.
“This… Our Commander directly bought the national war planet to give to us? Am I dreaming‽”
“Maybe this is the legendary banknote ability…”
“Why did Old Black do this? He shouldn’t have known about our national war, right?”
“That’s hard to say. At that time, many of the galactic organizations were paying attention to us, even though they did not know about our national war. However, our Golden Alliance beat everyone else, so maybe Old Black thought that we were winning glory for the army.”
“That feels possible!”
Everyone was full of excitement.
As the stage of the national war, Planet Milton had the potential to become the Players’ Main City, so having the army directly buying it and giving it to the Golden Alliance meant handing over the sovereignty of this main city to the Chinese players. Originally, the management rights belonged to the NPC organizations, but unexpectedly, they fell into the players’ hands. This was not a small gift.
This would be the first time a player-managed guild owned a planet!
Many of the players participated in the national war, but none of them expected that there would be such additional reward. They could not help but feel surging joy.
Speaking of which, most of the Chinese players were also old timers who participated from Planet Aquamarine itself. This gift might be Old Black taking care of them.
Thinking of this possibility, people like Frenzied Sword started to feel emotional. This proved that Black Star had always paid attention to them!
Before long, this matter spread to the forums, where it caused envy among countless players.
“Another benefit of the Black Star Army! How can their faction be so good‽”
“Nasty, I’m so jealous of them!”
“Black Star is indeed the model of all factions, knowing how to win the hearts of the people. I also wish I could have such a faction leader.”
“Wuwuwu, lemons are also good (cries)”
Seeing this, the various foreign club players felt their sanity snap and their stomachs churn.
The national war had been over for quite a period of time, and these participants had also re-adjusted their mentality. While they had lost, there was no substantial loss to them. But at this moment, these players felt that their hearts had been stabbed once again.
Seeing the Golden Alliance happily receiving a planet as a gift, these foreign clubs only felt upset.
If we had worked harder at the last moment and won the national war, then this planet might have belonged to us…
Oh wait, we’re not part of the Black Star Army either way. Even if we won, the faction behind us would not have bought Planet Milton as a gift…
This was even more frustrating to think about!
