Super Mechanic: The God of Superpowers!

Chapter 181 Overlord

After confirming their identities, the Red Gate Star defenders immediately adopted a respectful attitude and quickly issued a pass.

The Gold Statue of Goel medal symbolizes high honor in the Godora civilization, and its holder basically enjoys a free passage in the Garton galaxy.

The viewing window was crowded with players looking out, gazing at the stunning outline of the alien headquarters through the composite glass.

This steel fortress, which took twelve months to build, incorporates futuristic aesthetics, with blue energy patterns pulsating on its streamlined alloy exterior.

Ye was well aware that in the interstellar age, appearance was justice. If he hadn't been afraid of being accused of narcissism, he would have even considered projecting a dynamic holographic image on the exterior wall.

The fleet smoothly docked at the preset berth.

When designing it, Ye Xiu reserved an oversized hangar. Not to mention seventy conventional spaceships, even three fortress-class motherships could dock at the same time without any pressure.

As the sound of air pressure balancing sounded, hundreds of thousands of players poured into the main hall like a tide. Exclamations echoed under the dome, and the scene was comparable to an interstellar port on New Year's Eve.

"Welcome home, buzz~" Pipijia's electronic synthesized voice penetrated the noise.

"New recruits, please open your communicator and receive the authentication protocol."

Before he finished speaking, prompt sounds one after another echoed throughout the hall.

Huo Yunfei swiped the screen and saw the newly added "Alien Assistant" application flashing red.

In addition to the identity authentication module, it can also query base navigation, access mission files, and even has a built-in intelligent interactive system that can communicate with Pipijia.

This is actually the contribution value tracking system designed by Ye Xiu.

The combat records and merit points of each free mercenary are updated in real time in an independent database, and the mission results are directly converted into a visual legion development progress bar.

The goal is to allow players to see with their own eyes how each monster they kill and each task they complete contributes to the growth of their forces, eliminating the suspicion of "secretly changing the values."

The communicators that players had snapped up on the home planet of Godora with their rewards from Operation Hodlias came in handy now.

Although Ye Xiu could definitely act as a middleman and sell it at a higher price, considering that this thing was only worth two takeout meals on the interstellar black market, he decisively gave up this insignificant business.

"Turtle, what a mess our legion's formation is!" Several players yelled while touching the cold alloy wall.

As the new main city replacing Planet Aquamarine, the Alien Headquarters must not only be impressive, but also inspire millions of players to feel a sense of belonging, "My base is awesome."

After all, in the interstellar age, it would be embarrassing to call yourself a regular army if you don’t have a decent base.

Watching the crowds being diverted to different functional areas by the guiding beams, Ye Xiu cut off the surveillance footage with satisfaction.

These players who once treated the shelter as their home will soon get used to visiting the corridors patrolled by mechanical guards.

Set up a stall in the Particle Fountain Square and hang your spoils all over the smart walls of your personal cabin.

……

Back in the room, Ye Xiu began to deal with the accumulated work, screening the free mercenaries' applications to join the group and various employment commissions.

Ever since he made his debut at the Godora Festival, his business has skyrocketed, and even arms companies have sent him advertising endorsements.

After seeing the other party's industry, he thought it was normal. After all, this type of company has always been aggressive.

Taking advantage of the recent surge in popularity, he quickly expanded the recruitment of hundreds of thousands of players.

Although these "Fourth Disaster" are useful, they are always subject to version updates, so it is safer to stock up on more free mercenaries.

This operating model works very well: allowing players to complete missions across the universe can not only expand business and improve reputation, but also attract more free mercenaries to join, forming a closed-loop ecosystem.

The intelligent assistant Pipijia has already sorted the piles of mercenaries into categories according to difficulty, and 90% of the tasks are left to the players to complete.

Only those orders that are well-paid and difficult are given to the cadres to take action.

This method of "borrowing someone else's nest to lay eggs" has many advantages. Players can explore the interstellar space while completing tasks.

By the way, various hidden plots are triggered, which not only makes up for the shortcomings of the legion's insufficient background, but also allows players to make a lot of money.

The Shanghai Blue Star section of the forum was as lively as a vegetable market, and players from other novice stars all came to join in the fun.

Some people shared photos of themselves with alien creatures, others posted photos of themselves checking in at the wonders of the universe, but the most eye-catching ones were Aroshia's popular NPCs.

Ye Xiu conveniently compiled the scenes from Aroshia's memory into a task package. Hundreds of thousands of players instantly became human search engines, finding things much faster than if he had done it alone.

The latest video of "Xinghai Times" praised the alien army to the sky, focusing on the awarding ceremony. Ye Xiu's status in the hearts of players has reached a new height.

There's even a hot thread on the forum specifically discussing the dramatic changes on Planet Aquamarine.

The hundreds of thousands of players who stayed behind watched as the interstellar consortium transformed the mother planet into a cyber city, the technology tree moved up rapidly, and they were about to enter interstellar civilization.

Ye Xiu had anticipated this situation long ago, and had anticipated it when he initially sought out interstellar reporters for publicity.

Players have come up with a brilliant summary of this history: "The boss leads the way, and the whole village rises to heaven!"

The chronicles clearly state that Planet Aquamarine's rapid development is entirely due to the aliens' success in the universe.

Now that billions of people on the mother planet are enjoying the benefits, players' admiration for this faction leader has reached its maximum. This sense of collective honor is more useful than any mission reward.

……

a few days later.

The direction of action of the player group gradually differentiated into three mainstream trends.

The first type of people stay at the alien headquarters, carefully explore this interstellar main city, and accept missions by interacting with the stationed alien mercenaries;

The second type of hesitant players ultimately choose to stay on the prosperous Red Gate Planet, planning to start their adventure through this hub planet;

The third type of people follow the guide provided by Pipijia and take interstellar flights with legion discounts to various star regions in the Garton galaxy, starting their interstellar exploration journey while completing their tasks.

Currently, players are still in the initial stage of experiencing StarCraft. Although they maintain a strong subjective initiative, they generally act conservatively.

Taking into account the complex and ever-changing legal systems among interstellar civilizations.

The mercenary missions issued by Ye Xiu are temporarily limited to the Garton galaxy. The Pipijia subsystem will also push local regulations reminders in real time to prevent players from stepping into legal minefields as much as possible.

However, there are always some guys with "high chaos value" who like to take unconventional approaches.

After all, free and unrestrained players hate being bound the most, and their imaginations are often deeper than black holes.

Ye Xiu was well aware of the players' talent for causing trouble and was not overwhelmed by the current stable situation.

He had already prepared a response plan for these interstellar outlaws. Although he had no intention of excessively controlling player behavior, necessary punishment mechanisms were indispensable.

Of course, in the initial stage when the situation stabilized, he was quite pleased to see the players exploring the starry sea in an orderly manner.

At this time, most players were leaving the headquarters with excitement and taking spaceships to various star regions.

Some people's destinations happen to overlap with a special place
The fourth star district of the Garton Galaxy, the entertainment area of ​​the Godora public space station.

In a neon-lit entertainment venue, blurry lights and shadows sway with the rhythmic electronic music.

On the circular exhibition stand, dancers of various ethnic groups dressed in cool clothes are twisting their waists to the music, and holographic projections are constantly scrolling their carefully fabricated life stories.

Some are poignant and moving, some are unrestrained and unruly, constantly stirring the hearts of the audience.

The booth was crowded with male creatures of all kinds, with rude laughter and curses coming one after another, and from time to time, a dirty hand would cross the protective force field.

In the semi-open booth not far away, more guests were hugging the hostesses and toasting each other, and the air was filled with a strong smell of hormones.

The waiters who were moving among the crowd could not escape harassment either. The crisp sound of splashing wine and the wanton banter mixed into a luxurious melody.

In a luxurious booth somewhere, several strong men dressed as mercenaries were drinking to their heart's content.

Although the hostess in their arms was pinched so hard that it hurt, she still had to force herself to smile.

These super-powered people from a certain B-level mercenary group are considered to be untouchable in the eyes of ordinary people.

……

Among this group of mercenaries indulging in pleasure, one figure stood out.

A tall man sat on a high stool in the corner. He had no hostess and the glass of whiskey in front of him was untouched.

He sat straight as a taut bowstring, his hands placed neatly on his knees, as serious as if he were attending a military meeting.

The deafening roar of revelry around him hit him but failed to cause even a ripple.

"Old Mo, don't be like a robot. Take a sip at least." The mercenary captain came over with his wine glass shaking. Although he had the title of captain, his tone sounded like he was coaxing his ancestors.

"I'll pay for tonight, just have fun."

The man called Mo Jun didn't even move the corner of his clothes, he just turned his head slightly.

His dark pupils glowed coldly under the neon lights, and his voice was as flat as an electronic synthesizer: "Alcohol affects my reaction speed. I need to keep my mind sharp."

"Then find a chick"

"Physical contact disrupts thinking, and hormonal fluctuations can impair judgment."

Before the other party finished speaking, Mo Jun had already given the standard answer.

The mercenary captain scratched his nose awkwardly, he had no idea what to do with the key figure in the team.

The identity of a B-level psychic made Mo Jun the ace of the mercenary group. If it weren't for this big Buddha, he would have been unable to stand the other party's eccentric temper.

"I heard the Alien Legion is hiring?" a drunken mercenary suddenly interrupted. "They say they're going to take over all the work in the Gardon System."

"Who cares!" The captain slammed his glass on the table. "At worst, we can just move to another galaxy."

"We join the alien planet." Mo Jun's flat voice was like an icicle piercing the noise.

The booth fell into silence instantly.

The captain's forehead veins throbbed: "I'm the one giving the orders!"

"Understood." Mo Jun took out his communicator, swiped it twice, then stood up and left.

"Where the hell are you going?" The captain jumped up, knocking over the bottle.

"The withdrawal procedures are complete."

The entire bar corridor seemed to be paused. The distance between Mo Jun's military boots landing on the ground was as precise as if measured with a ruler, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared outside the revolving door.

Everyone was stunned, and the dice cup in a rookie's hand fell onto the table with a "clack".

"This bastard!" The captain swung his fist and smashed it against the glass table. The moment cracks exploded like a spider web, the hostess screamed and fell to the ground.

His chest heaved violently. Without this trump card, the entire team's rating would drop at least two levels.

But looking at the withdrawal application that was approved in seconds on the communicator, he could only squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Fuck!"

……

In the passenger cabin of the interstellar passenger ship "Gardon", Borrick was tapping his knees with his knuckles.

The alien army recruitment information on the communicator screen glowed blue in the dim cabin, making half of his face flicker.

The file of this Godoran mixed-race mercenary successfully passed the initial review, but no one knew his true identity.

As a lurker secretly trained by DarkStar, he was one of the few who escaped Godora's pursuit after the main fleet was destroyed.

In the past three months, more than twenty intelligence lines have been uprooted.

The remaining DarkStar members were like frightened gerbils. Some were busy destroying evidence, while others attempted to surrender. However, he chose to continue to carry out the secret order he received three years ago: to infiltrate the alien army.

"Ding"

The communicator vibrated again, and Pipijia Agency sent an interview confirmation letter.

Borick turned off the screen, and the sneer on his face was reflected on the metal wall.

The close relationship between Yixing and Godora was a perfect cover, and more importantly, he always believed the rumor.

When that lord returns, the stakes he has planted will become deadly thorns that tear apart his enemies.

At this time, on the other side of the galaxy, players who had just exchanged for new skills were happily exploring the universe.

The newbies were stumbling through the basic tasks, while the veterans were enthusiastically posting strategy guides on the forum.

Meanwhile, at the Aquamarine Star teleportation point, tens of thousands of people still passed the qualification test every day, crowding the alien legion's registration office to the limit.

Half a month later, at the third star district military base.

In the dome hall that was large enough to accommodate giant mechas, thousands of applicants were looking at each other.

Electronic prompt sounds echoed above the crowd's heads.

The Tak warriors with wriggling tentacles passed by the Sera people covered in crystals. A creature with six pairs of compound eyes suddenly sprayed out purple pheromones, causing a burst of curses from the surroundings.

"Is this the alien headquarters?" Borick stroked the micro pulse gun hidden in his sleeve and glanced at the hideous war reliefs on the walls of the hall.

"It's a good place to put a tombstone."

As the team advanced, Borick was secretly observing the base structure.

He took in every corner like a scanner, paying special attention to the joints in the walls and the direction of the energy pipelines, and silently sketched out a three-dimensional layout in his mind.

The metal ground in front of thousands of people suddenly rotated and opened, and Ye Xiu, wearing his signature black windbreaker, slowly rose into the air from the circular passage.

The moment his toes touched the ground, all the noise seemed to be paused.

The crowd, like a compass needle drawn to a magnet, cast their gazes towards the legendary powerful man. Their eyes were filled with curiosity, awe, and anticipation, as if they were admiring a legendary figure.

With Ye Xiu's current reputation and strength in the Garton galaxy, he is indeed worthy of such attention.

Borik narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully. Although he had seen Ye Xiu's video footage before, this was the first time he saw him in person.

Unlike the sense of distance across the screen in the video, at this moment he could clearly feel the energy fluctuations lingering around the other person, as if he was standing on the edge of a volcano about to erupt.

Ye Xiu's eyes swept across the dark crowd and he tilted his head slightly to the side.

Sylvia immediately understood, cleared her throat, and walked forward. Her clear voice rang out in the venue:

"Welcome everyone to the alien planet selection. As experienced mercenaries, I believe you are all familiar with the process.

Those who pass the assessment will sign an alliance contract, and all the terms and conditions are on the smart terminal. Of course."

She deliberately dragged out her words. "The contract contains not only rights and obligations, but also special benefits that will amaze you."

After Sylvia returned to her original position, Ye Xiu flicked the hem of his windbreaker with his fingers:
"The rules have been made clear. It's not too late to regret now."

There was a murmur of discussion among the crowd, but no one moved.

"Let's get down to business." Ye Xiu opened his palm and then closed it.

"The test method is very simple. You all come before me one by one. I only need to touch you lightly to sense your energy level. Those who pass the test will stand to the right and wait."

Although no one dared to question the methods of the Calamity-level warrior, many mercenaries were still worried.

This approach, which relies entirely on subjective judgment, is really disturbing.

As if seeing through everyone's doubts, Ye Xiu added:
"Those who didn't pass, don't rush to leave. You can join the special training camp. As long as you pass the final assessment, you can still take jobs under the Alien Star name."

These words made many mercenaries' eyes light up. The originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and the team quickly formed into a long, winding queue.

No one noticed the glimmer in Ye Xiu's eyes.

When he comes into contact with the tester, the combat panel will automatically analyze all the other party's data, even the hidden talents that the other party has forgotten will be revealed.

Although it only took two seconds per person, the entire process took most of the day given the huge team of more than 6,000 people.

Ye Xiu didn't mind the trouble. After all, the mercenary business was full of mixed people, so it was always better to be cautious.

What's more, in his blueprint, each branch base will be a blood-making factory, which will not only absorb existing masters but also cultivate fresh blood.

Just like the natives of Planet Aquamarine, didn't they also start looking up at the stars under the influence of the players?
After waiting for a while, it was finally Borick's turn.

He walked forward calmly and let Ye Xiu pat his shoulder.

Anyway, the test level will not reveal the identity. It is impossible to be discovered as a DarkStar person just by being touched.

Borik seemed at ease, even taking advantage of the close contact to carefully examine the important figure in front of him.

Although some dangerous thoughts flashed through his mind, he still followed the procedure and prepared to step aside and wait like everyone else.

But just as he turned around, Ye Xiu's strange voice suddenly came from behind him: "Whoever is in front, don't go yet!"

Borick froze, his heart skipping a beat.

Countless guesses exploded in my mind: Is there a flaw?

This is impossible.
He suppressed his surging emotions, put on a perfectly surprised expression, and turned around: "You looking for me?"

Ye Xiu narrowed his eyes and repeatedly looked at the half-blood Godoran, his gaze scanning back and forth across the other person's information panel.

With his level of perception, the secrets of these mercenaries could not be hidden at all.

Borick's barely B-rank strength was considered top-tier among the applicants, but the dazzling [Dark Star Elite Warrior] class and its accompanying skills were as eye-catching as a firefly in the night.

After fighting with Anxing for so many years, he could recognize him even with his eyes closed.

"These days, spies dare to come and apply for jobs openly?" Ye Xiu smiled to himself.

Thinking of the recent news from Godora about the disappearance of DarkStar's top executives, he suddenly had a new idea.

Since the other party wants to play tricks on you, why not take advantage of their tricks?
"You're quite capable." Ye Xiu suddenly put on a kind smile. "The training camp is in need of instructors. Are you interested in trying out?"

Borik's heart instantly dropped to the ground, and he almost couldn't hold back his expression.

He quickly pretended to be flattered: "It is my honor to serve you!" But in his heart he was very happy.

Although I cannot reach the core layer for the time being, being able to get into the management level is a major breakthrough.

Watching the other party happily retreat to the side, Ye Xiu threw a tracking mark.

This free labor is worth using, as there are surveillance systems keeping an eye on it at all times.

Thinking that he could follow the clues through this living coordinate in the future, and even save Qi Peijia, who was originally planned to be transferred back, from having to go through the trouble, he couldn't help but curl up a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

This little episode not only did not affect the atmosphere, but made the crowd even more excited.

Everyone felt that this proved that the Alien Legion valued real skills, and as long as one's ability was strong enough, they could be promoted on the spot.

The test continued, and Ye Xiu was busy for several hours. In the end, more than 5,000 people successfully obtained mercenary qualifications, and the remaining 1,000 or so were sent to the training camp for further consideration.

During the process, he also discovered three B-level super-powered people, although their abilities were mediocre and they had no special template bonuses.

But in line with the principle of "even a mosquito leg is meat", Ye Xiu appointed them as team leaders on the spot and allowed them to form a fixed team.

The Legion promotion system is divided into two routes: the first is the individual merit system, starting from the lowest "Beaner" and reaching the highest honor of "Thirty-six Bean Gods of the Star";

The second is the management hierarchy, which draws on the structure of the Sky Ring Alliance and complements the merit system.

B-level strength just reaches the threshold of a team leader, so naturally no one questioned this appointment.

The legion's management is currently seriously short of staff. Apart from Caroline who can barely be considered a deputy, key positions such as deputy commander, regional director, and logistics commander are all vacant.

Ye Xiu looked at the management structure with a wave of worry. While hundreds of thousands of grassroots soldiers were a large number, the number of high-level elites could be counted on one's fingers.

He was the sole Scourge-class commander of the entire legion, with only a dozen or so B-class core members. Compared to the Sky Ring Alliance's three Scourge-class members and thousands of B-class members, it was truly insignificant. While talents like Sylvia and Caroline showed promise, and the Hela sisters' talents surpassed the A-class threshold, potential didn't equate to immediate combat effectiveness.

The most coveted Fording wanders around with the protagonist's halo and a mysterious sister, but he is just a temporary employer;

The player base is limited by the version and cannot be relied upon in the short term.

"It would be great if we could recruit a disaster-level tester to join us." Ye Xiu was just thinking about it when the last tester came up to him.

The moment the scanning panel popped up, his pupils suddenly contracted. Level 135! This was a full 7 levels higher than all the previous applicants!
Take a closer look at this cosmic human named Mo Jun: a cold white-skinned mixed-race with sharp features. Although not as handsome as himself, he has an icy temperament.

What caught his attention most was the pair of sharp eyes, which were now staring at him without hesitation.

Looking at the detailed data, this is a B+ level mutant with an intelligence attribute of 1137 and a luxurious configuration of seventeen specialties.

That's more than the three previous B-ranks combined! Even Caroline, who has the most specialties in the legion, only has fifteen.

Template expertise is an important indicator for distinguishing ordinary characters, elite characters, and boss-level characters.

When Ye Xiu discovered the unique mark on Mo Jun's body, his breathing couldn't help but quicken.

[Perfect Ability Resonance]: The comprehensive ability adaptation coefficient is increased by 1.4 times. This effect affects the sum of the basic value, passive skills and expertise bonuses.
[. In your dialogue with the superpower, energy particles will automatically weave into music]
"It's actually a heritage expertise of this level!"

Ye Xiu's pupils suddenly contracted.

He remembered the pinned research post on the forum, which detailed the exclusive templates carried by the legendary characters in Star Ocean.

This type of special expertise is often deeply bound to the professional system, and the top-level inheritance template of the supernatural system floating in front of the retina at this moment even includes a triple composite amplification module.

This multiplier increase based on total value is truly incredible. In the supernatural system, the adaptation coefficient directly determines the efficiency of energy conversion.

Suppose a certain psychic has increased his basic adaptability to 500% through various enhancements, and after obtaining this expertise, it will jump to 700%.

This is equivalent to a terrifying gain of two hundred years of cultivation out of thin air.

What is even more worrying is that this multiplication mechanism is exactly the same as the [Supernatural Body] that is standard equipment for the legendary disaster-level strongmen, which means that the growth potential will never become outdated.

Those with this trait are usually called awakened geniuses that appear once in a century.

Looking at the dark figure of B+ level in front of him, Ye Xiu's mind began to work at high speed.

This wild supernatural seedling not only surpasses the existing cadres in rank, but its hidden talent is also coveted.

If they can be brought under their command and carefully trained, the alien army will truly have the capital to impact the supernova force.

"A person with supernatural powers?"

"As you can see." Mo Jun nodded slightly.

"Interesting, your energy fluctuations even overshadowed the combat team leader under my command."

Ye Xiu spoke as he pulled up the data panel. When he saw the migration trajectory in the mercenary files, his fingertips drew a striking broken line on the star map projection:

"You've been traveling through five star systems for seven years, but you're still stuck in a second-tier mercenary group? With your abilities, you're more than capable of becoming a regional leader in Cross Star or Dark Flame."

Mo Jun adjusted his stance like a javelin, each byte sharp as a blade:
"A greenhouse can't cultivate a true predator. I need more intense life-and-death experiences to maintain my sense of danger."

"Then why did you choose to join us?" Ye Xiu leaned forward with interest. "The Alien Legion is now the most sought-after force in the Garton Galaxy."

"The quenched blade needs to be remelted and reshaped." The psychic's tone suddenly became low.

"When I saw the image of you tearing open the starship armor with your bare hands in the black market, I suddenly realized that I was still missing the most crucial thing.

An opportunity for transformation in the realm of natural disasters."

Ye Xiu's eyebrows raised slightly: "You want to break through the boundary?"

"This is exactly why I crossed twelve star regions to come here." Mo Jun suddenly touched the ground with one knee, and energy ripples spread across the ground, creating fine cracks.

"I beg you to show me the way to break free from the shackles of life. In exchange, my blade will forever ring in the direction you point."

The truth burst forth like sparks, and Ye Xiu instantly understood the chain of logic. This wandering warrior wasn't attracted by the generous treatment, but rather smelled an opportunity to ascend to the level of a natural disaster.

Considering the inheritance template that the other party carries, breaking through the A-level is just a matter of time.

The anxiety the person is feeling at this moment is nothing more than the growth troubles unique to geniuses.

"The contract period needs to be extended by three ephemeris cycles."

"That's right." Mo Jun answered without hesitation. This condition was much more relaxed than he expected.

When the last applicant completed the iris authentication, the legion's strength finally exceeded 8,000.

Although it is still small compared to the million-strong player base, the addition of strategic-level talents like Mo Jun.

This undoubtedly gives the alien army the leverage to change the galaxy's structure.

Ye Xiu's eyes swept over the dark figure who was adjusting the energy wristband, and a thought kept surging in his sea of ​​consciousness.

If the inheritance template that can cause qualitative change can be reproduced through special means
However, this dangerous thought was quickly suppressed. The most urgent task was to sharpen this accidentally obtained legendary weapon into a deadly edge that could tear apart the galaxy.

……

Two days later, the newly recruited mercenaries started working one after another.

At the same time, the training base of the alien headquarters was officially opened.

The first batch of students consisted of thousands of unsuccessful candidates, and Borick, as the only instructor, began his devilish teaching.

By the end of the first day of classes, he felt drained.

Training mercenaries requires a sparring partner throughout the process, and if you are not careful you will be accidentally injured by a rookie.

Borik, who had to deal with thousands of students alone, spent the entire day in the training grounds without even a break to drink water. By the time he finished work, he was so tired that his bones were protesting.

Borrick's calves began to twitch at the thought that this hellish schedule would continue.

At this time, Ye Xiu appeared at the right time, and a few words of affirmation directly restored him to full health on the spot.

Looking at Ye Xiu's admiring eyes, Borik suddenly understood.

Among all the applicants, only he and Mo Jun were entrusted with important tasks. It was obvious that the organization was focusing on them!
If you can complete the teaching task perfectly, you may be able to enter the core layer.

Once you become a senior cadre, wouldn’t it be easy to gather intelligence?

Thinking of this, Borik resolutely rejected the proposal to have an assistant.

He will complete the challenge single-handedly and prove his worth with his actions!
“This work ethic is incredible.”

Ye Xiu maintained his chaotic body form and watched Borick's self-strategy the entire time.

Sure enough, people who are careful and thoughtful can use it most easily.

Switching back to the player forum interface, a red hot post suddenly appeared among the various tactical discussion threads:
Wienka Advanced Guide Part 3

I clicked in and saw the host showing off a whole set of gold-edged cards. This guy actually spent all the money he earned from killing monsters on collecting cards.
Aren’t newcomers doing their jobs nowadays?!
"The Wayne card is going to become a meta trap."

Ye Xiu looked through the comments section with a mixture of laughter and tears, and found that the focus was on the update announcement:

Shattered Star Ring Expansion Pack 2.0

The original mercenary card [Alien Mercenary Group] is upgraded to the faction card [Alien Legion], adding a new faction buff effect
Civilization card [Godora] Attack power +20%
Power card [Dragon Floating Island] Defense value enhanced

New Legendary Card: "Alien Leader" Ye Xiu

Added new epic event card [Dark Star Fall]

The original faction card [Dark Star] is permanently retired
Looking at the players frantically posting "Pattern!" on their screens, Ye Xiu suddenly realized the secret of the Wayne cards.

This set of cards is basically a real-time ranking of interstellar forces!
Not only does his own exclusive card have impressive stats, but it also has dynamic particle effects on the card surface. This is even more impressive than some of the veteran powerhouses.

It seems that the layout during this period has made the name of "Alien Star" truly spread among the stars.

After browsing the forum for a while, Ye Xiu went to the exclusive prison area of ​​Slake Prison to collect a few tubes of drug samples from several serious criminals. Only then did he lock the door of the laboratory and prepare to leave.

He had been almost completely immersed in the Ability Development Room for the past two months, but he had not forgotten the escort mission entrusted to him by Ames.

Take the Hela sisters to Dragon Tan.

Now that the legion is gradually taking shape, daily tasks have basically been divided up between players and official mercenaries, and for the time being, no urgent commissions have been received that require personal action.

Ye Xiu glanced at his schedule and headed towards the training ground. Hela must be tormenting her sister during this time.

Suddenly, Sylvia, holding a file bag, jumped out from the corner of the corridor. The little girl ran like a frightened rabbit, shouting "Hello, Captain", and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After walking a few steps, he ran into Mo Jun who was looking around. Ye Xiu patted him on the shoulder and said a few words of encouragement.

The holographic projection of the simulated training ground was still running, and even through the protective glass, one could see Hela forcing Aurora into the corner of the field.

The dark red energy blade slashed through the air and stopped just two centimeters in front of the sister's nose. The blonde girl was so scared that she collapsed to the ground.

"I'm saying, isn't the intensity of your special training excessive?"

Ye Xiu pressed the stop button, and the virtual battlefield instantly dissipated into a data stream.

Hila casually wiped her sweat-soaked bangs, her waistline beneath her combat vest rising and falling with her breathing.

"What's up? You want to practice with me again?"

"Why aren't you wearing the star-patterned armor I customized for you?" Ye Xiu frowned as he looked at her tight combat uniform that exposed her waist.

"This fabric's defense can't even block a laser pointer."

"It affects joint mobility." Hela shook her ponytail, pulled a towel from the weapon rack and tossed it to Aurora, who was lying on the ground. "Besides, would you let me rush to the front in danger?"

"You know nothing about tactical configuration!"

Ye Xiu rolled his eyes in annoyance, turned around and tossed an energy gel to the nearly exhausted Aurora, "Pack your things and meet at the tarmac in half an hour."

The originally listless blonde girl suddenly jumped up, not even bothering to tear open the energy gel packaging bag:
"Finally going to Longtan to see Sister Ai?!"

Hela paused while wiping the long sword, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, barely perceptible.

Drop drop drop.

Ye Xiu was about to speak when his communicator suddenly beeped. He took it out and took a look.

It was Ames who actually initiated the call request. This was truly a case of "speaking of the devil and finding him there."

"Dragon Throne?"

"Well, Yixing, when are you going to send my students back?"

Ames's virtual image emerged in the air, a faint smile on her face, her long, slender legs dazzlingly white.

"I've been delayed by some troubles recently, so I'll send them to Longtan in the next two days." Ye Xiu touched his nose.

"Okay." Ames suddenly changed the subject: "When you get there, accompany me somewhere."

"where?"

"War Field."

Her voice was light and there was no emotion in it.

The hairs on the back of Ye Xiu's neck suddenly stood up, and this familiar premonition made his scalp tingle.

I'm afraid my leisurely days are coming to an end.

"Can you not go?"

"try it yourself?"

The communication screen went black instantly.

Ye Xiu put away the device with a wry smile, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

He remembered that Tyrant had poached a capable general from Ames's command, and the two had fought fiercely, with Ames suffering the loss in the end.

This time I suddenly have to go to someone's lair, it's probably not a good thing.

"Why do you have to drag me along? Are you going to use me as a meat shield to hold back those lunatics under the Tyrant?"

He couldn't help but rub his temples. Ever since becoming Longtan's top fighter, this hands-off boss had found free labor.

You have to know that in the war field, there are eight A-level vanguard officers in public, and there are countless ruthless characters hiding in secret.

If Ames went in alone, I, a fish in the pond, would be in trouble.
Hela listened to the entire conversation and tilted her head to ask, "What is the War Zone?"

"A concentration camp of lunatics covered in muscle."

Since Long Zuo was urging him, there was nothing he could do.

Mo Jun was called to take charge of the headquarters, and Sylvia was asked to take charge of daily chores.

In fact, it is all a formality. The one who is really in charge is Pipijia hiding in the dark.

The base's movements can be monitored through the remote system without any further explanation.

Everything was arranged in less than half an hour, and Ye Xiu took the Hela sisters, who had changed into combat uniforms, into the hangar.

The dark spaceship lurked quietly in the shadows, its streamlined body glowing with a cold light.

boom.

The hangar dome slowly opened, and the anti-gravity device emitted a faint blue halo.

The spacecraft soared vertically into the sky like an arrow, its thrusters bursting out dazzling purple flames, and disappeared at the end of the clouds in the blink of an eye.

The Dragon Tan Floating Island hung quietly in the void. The Black Light Lurker ended its jump state, slowly approached the floating giant island, and finally landed at the dock.

"Is this the place you mentioned?" Aurora walked down the spaceship's gangway, her curious eyes sweeping across the port filled with space junk, and suddenly noticed the villains gathered on the dock.

Those scarred faces and the shining weapons on their waists don't look like good people at all.

The thugs all turned their heads to look over.

Hela quickly stood in front of her sister, her back straight, her fingers unconsciously stroking the dagger at her waist.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu slowly walked between the two of them, and naturally put his arm on Haila's shoulder:
"Relax, although the people docked here are interstellar fugitives and scavengers, the rules of Longtan are..."

He suddenly paused, "Well, in most cases they are quite honest."

Before he finished speaking, the thugs around him suddenly lowered their heads and avoided his sight. Some of them even kicked over the energy tanks at their feet in panic.

After all, few people who have been to the Broken Star Ring don't recognize that iconic black and gold spaceship.

Hela stared at the hand on her shoulder and calmly took a half step to the side.

"Old buddy! I finally got you back!" Visander's deep laughter came from behind the container.

Behind the burly man was a girl with a sullen face. The pulse rifle in Jenny's hand was trembling slightly.

Ye Xiu had just raised his hand to say hello when a dazzling laser beam suddenly brushed past his ear.

Before anyone could react, Jenny had already pulled the trigger repeatedly at his chest, and the energy beam exploded into tiny spots of light on his protective suit.

"Your Longtan welcome ceremony is quite unique." Aurora stared at this one-sided "attack" in amazement.

Visander rubbed his hands with a wry smile, Hela gripped the knife handle with white fingertips, and the man in question just flicked the scorch marks on his clothes.

It wasn't until the weapon jammed due to overheating that Jenny threw the gun to the guard and said coldly:
"The leader is waiting for you in the palace." As he turned around, his military boots sparked on the ground.

Passing through the alloy corridor in the center of the floating island, Ames's dragon bone throne was floating under the dome of the hall.

The Dragon Throne Lord rested his chin on his hand as he considered the newcomer, his emerald-colored dress rippling like water in the anti-gravity field.
"Let's guess, was he late this time because he got lost or was he swallowed by the nebula?"

Ye Xiu shrugged and said nothing, while the Hela sisters saluted respectfully.

As the throne slowly descended, Ames' bare feet created subtle ripples in space as she stepped on the ground.

"Let's go to the war zone."

These words made Ye Xiu's eyebrows move slightly.

The military empire ruled by "Heber the Tyrant".

"Don't worry, I'm not going to cause trouble this time." The Lord of the Dragon Throne seemed to see through his concerns and shook off the stardust in his hair.

"It's time for the young people to see through some of the old accounts."

Ames restrained her smile and tapped the armrest of the chair with her fingertips.

"That guy always wants to control the entire chess game. We have different ideas. In the past, he even lured away a capable person from me, but this time I'm not here to settle old scores."

"Every few years, that guy would hold a social gathering in the war field and post messages to prominent figures in the Star Ring.

High-ranking officials of star-cluster-level civilizations, special envoys from large organizations, and even diplomats from the three major cosmic civilizations have made appearances.

It is called a social gathering, but in reality it is just a stage for all kinds of powerful people to perform.

Of course, Beyond Grade A experts are always on the invitation list."

As she spoke, she pulled out an electronic invitation with dark gold patterns from the void.

"Look at his generosity. I demolished half of his base back then, but he still sent an invitation to Longtan the following year."

Ye Xiu rubbed his chin thoughtfully. This wasn't just any ordinary gathering; it was clearly a weathervane for the Star Ring's power structure.

The cooperation and leaked intelligence reached over drinks will probably affect the power landscape for decades to come.

Being able to make this kind of gathering a traditional event truly deserves the title of Overlord.

"You're going to a date?" He was a little surprised. Long Tan had always been aloof from the world, and this ancestor was even more famous for not liking socializing.

"Of course I have to go!" Ames suddenly sat up straight, her obsidian earrings gleaming with tiny streams of light.

"If he dares to send me an invitation, I will dare to attend the banquet. If I avoid him, it would make me look petty!"

Ye Xiu almost choked on his saliva. This logic clearly meant that the other party was provoking him?

But I understood it on second thought.

This person must be thinking, "That bastard thinks I don't dare to go? What a joke! I'm going to dress up and blind him!"

As for why he insisted on taking me along, it was probably because he wanted to compete with me.

There are so many masters in the field of war, the Lord of Longtan naturally cannot lose.

Thinking of this, he rubbed his temple and asked, "What's the specific itinerary?"

"Let's leave tomorrow morning." Ames' fingertips slid across the star map, and a three-dimensional projection of the Sol Cluster unfolded between them.

The elongated star field is like a sandwich between Colton and Sedin, and the scarlet symbol of the war field is flashing within the territory of the Krent Empire.

Ye Xiu stared at the star map and sighed: "Use my ship?"

"That's exactly what I meant." His emerald eyes curved into crescents.
