Chapter 498 Praise

Leaving the virtual brainwave amplifier and returning to the disaster relief headquarters, the spaceship entered the port. Han Xiao walked out of the cabin and saw Sidreun and the other three heads of the Supervisors waiting on the platform.

"Your Excellency Black Star, the three leaders are waiting online. Please come and meet them."

Sidreun took two steps forward, lowered his head slightly, and his attitude was more respectful than before.

Han Xiao's move to eliminate the core of the virus earned him more respect.

"Okay, I'll go over now."

Han Xiao nodded with a smile. He was not surprised. He had expected the three major civilizations to talk to him.

He glanced around, and the other Super-A Grade clones were not here.

"Where are the others?"

"They haven't descended yet, but everyone's mission is complete, and we can solve the rest of the work."

The core had been eliminated, and the virtual rebellion virus was stopped at the first generation. With the anti-virus trio here, the original cleanup plan of the three major civilizations could continue. The subsequent work would not require the Super-A Grades, and everyone's mission was complete.

The Arcane Nation was even less likely to come back, otherwise it would be awkward to see him. He didn't know whether to fight or not, so it was understandable.

Han Xiao followed the group to the remote conference room on the top floor of the headquarters. He walked into the room and saw three huge virtual screens standing in front of him, showing the remote communication images of Ulan Rier, Bader, and the Spiritual Church Leader.

Sidreun and the others nodded in greeting, then retreated and closed the door, leaving only Han Xiao in the room.

Ulan Rier was the first to speak:

"Black Star, you have made a great contribution this time, pointing out the true danger of the intelligent plague to us. Without your information, countless people would have died in this disaster. We thank you for your contribution on behalf of the entire universe."

"Maintaining order is everyone's responsibility."

Han Xiao said a polite remark and glanced at the three of them.

This was the first time he had been jointly received by the leaders of the three major civilizations. It could be considered the pinnacle of the interstellar world. Almost no one in the entire universe had this honor, and they were all the most dazzling great men of each era.

Speaking of which, he was only familiar with Ulan Rier. He rarely interacted with Bader and the Spiritual Church Leader.

The three of them spoke in turn, praising Han Xiao's merits, and glossed over the act of destroying the virus core without much discussion.

After listening to the praise for a while, Han Xiao finally heard the Spiritual Church Leader get to the point:

"For such merits, we will not be stingy with rewards…"

Han Xiao's eyes rolled. He knew that the three of them had come to talk to him after reaching a consensus, and they must have already had a draft in mind.

As expected, the three of them spoke eloquently and introduced the scheduled rewards. Resource supply and policy support accounted for the majority. Glory and the Spirit Race both expressed their willingness to help the Black Star Army vigorously expand its business and expand its sphere of influence in star fields other than the Shattered Star Ring and the Glistening World.

The Black Star Army's development in other star fields had always been relatively difficult, and it could not reach too far. If it had the joint support of the three major civilizations, its development would be much smoother.

Han Xiao understood the meaning of the three major civilizations. This was to help him catch up with the Arcane Nation's power, so that the two could compete, and at the same time, this kind of support was equivalent to the three major civilizations sharing their own interests with him, so as to deepen the relationship between the two sides, bind their interests, and try to avoid the Arcane Nation's past mistakes.

On the other hand, the three major civilizations promised to open up a part of the Universal Treasure-grade blueprint library to Han Xiao, open up purchasing channels, and allow him to purchase some of the golden blueprints in their archives with money and contribution points.

Originally, most of these were not for sale. Because he and the Arcane Nation were at odds, the three major civilizations saw the gap in the foundations of the two sides, so they were willing to provide these benefits to help Black Star narrow the gap. Generally speaking, this was a treatment that only direct descendants had, and giving it to Han Xiao at this time was a manifestation of increased trust.

Of course, support was support, and it was impossible to give it away for free.

Han Xiao's eyes lit up. It was an unexpected surprise.

In this way, in addition to self-research and awakening points, he had a new stable channel to obtain Universal Treasure-grade blueprints. Because of his [God's Equipment], the benefits of this reward were very practical, and in his opinion, it was more useful than those business supports.

At this time, Ulan Rier said slowly:

"And we have jointly decided to hire you as a special security consultant for the Federation of Light, the Crimson Empire, and the Spiritual Church."

Han Xiao was slightly stunned.

A special security consultant for the three major civilizations?

This was a bit new.

In this way, he also had a certain cooperative relationship with Glory and the Spirit Race, from being an ally of the Empire to becoming a trans-camp figure.

In history, it seemed that no Super-A Grade had such glory. He might be the first case, one of a kind.

After thinking about it, Han Xiao roughly guessed the intentions of the three major civilizations.

First, it was to build momentum for him. Second, the other two companies offered rewards as an investment, and they also wanted returns, just like advertising sponsors, so that Black Star would carry some of their labels. Third, the development of the association played the role of a guild, and the three major civilizations might be adjusting their attitude towards the Super-A group.

'Why does it feel a bit like in martial arts novels in my previous life, the imperial court secretly supports a hero to run for the leader of the martial arts world in order to control the martial arts world… I'm becoming more and more like a villain.'

Han Xiao's mind was racing, and he muttered to himself.

Although he thought so, he did not refuse the position of special security consultant and nodded politely:

"Okay, I am honored to take this position."

The Arcane Nation wanted to create opposition, and its methods were radical and contained selfish motives. Han Xiao did not have such thoughts. Maintaining the Super-A Grade class was not only about opposition. In his opinion, on the way to explore the entire universe, no one could do without the other. Seeking cooperation in the struggle was the right way.

Moreover, the three major civilizations were the main force against the World Tree. What he pursued was to make the cooperative relationship equal, not to stab the three major civilizations in the back.

Most of the people in the Super-A Grade Association also thought so. His appointment as a special consultant to the three major civilizations was a glorious title that could attract members with the same ideas and be clearly distinguished from the Arcane Nation.

Thinking of this, Han Xiao had a sense of familiarity again.

'Why does it feel like Magneto and Professor X are best friends…'

Although he was a special consultant, he was still the pillar of the Empire at heart, and his relationship with the other two was much weaker.

"These are the general rewards, Black Star, do you have any other needs?"

Han Xiao thought for a while and said, "I hope to be able to purchase the ultimate profession knowledge of other systems and be able to pass it on to others."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the three of them changed slightly, and they fell silent.

This was a sensitive issue, and it was also an issue that the Development Association had been negotiating with the three major civilizations on, wanting to lift the knowledge monopoly.

There were so many Super-A Grades, and if everyone pooled together, they would definitely be able to gather the ultimate knowledge of all professions. The key was the right to spread knowledge, and the three major civilizations prohibited private teaching, which was widely involved.

Now Han Xiao wanted them to open this gap, which met the needs of the Super-A Grade class but harmed the interests of the three major civilizations.

Seeing this, Han Xiao continued: "Hela is the vice-commander of my legion, and I have to help her gather knowledge of the Esper ability system, and I also have some extraordinary talents under my command. I hope they can learn some ultimate knowledge to improve their combat power."

The three looked at each other and were silent for a long time. Finally, Ulan Rier spoke:

"You can buy three ultimate knowledge for Hela. If you pass it on to others, only one ultimate knowledge is allowed for each system. At the same time, you must submit a list for registration and limit the number of places. You cannot spread it on a large scale."

The three major civilizations had made some concessions on this issue, but it was limited to Black Star himself teaching it. Others did not have this treatment.

The rewards were very generous, and the position he expressed was in line with the other party's interests. Although the intelligent plague was a disaster, it also provided him with an opportunity to go further.

After negotiating all kinds of deals, the leaders of the three major civilizations went offline. Han Xiao then left the conference room, told Sidreun, and then returned to his own territory.

As soon as he walked into his exclusive office area, he saw Harrison standing at the door, seemingly waiting for him.

Han Xiao did not stop and walked straight ahead.

Harrison hurriedly followed and stammered, "Your, Your Excellency Black Star, I have something I want to ask…"

"Just say it."

"I want to ask, what should we do after the intelligent plague ends?"

Hearing this, Han Xiao turned to look at him and saw that Harrison's face was full of anxiety. He knew what he was thinking.

"What, are you worried about going back to jail?"

"Yes, yes." Harrison was a little anxious. He had been following Han Xiao for a few months, but he was still a criminal, and his guilt had not been eliminated. He was afraid of continuing to be in jail, so he could only come to Han Xiao to beg for mercy.

"Don't worry, you have made a great contribution this time, I will not ignore you." Han Xiao patted him on the shoulder casually.

Harrison was flattered, but also a little dazed.

I have made a great contribution?

Why don't I know?

"Then… then what are you going to do with me?"

"I will apply to the three major civilizations to revoke the charges against you and restore the freedom of you and your companions in a while, but you can no longer be scavengers."

"Thank you so much!" Harrison looked grateful.

It was good to be able to regain his freedom. It did not matter whether he was a scavenger or not. After digging out the virtual rebellion virus, Harrison was disheartened and planned to go back and inherit his billions of assets.

"Don't be happy too early, I'm not saving you for nothing. You have to continue your old business and continue the exploration work under the sponsorship and supervision of the Black Star Army."

"This…" Harrison hesitated.

"Unwilling?" Han Xiao glanced at him, "Then I wish you good luck in getting used to prison life."

"No, no, no!" Harrison hurriedly grabbed Han Xiao and said helplessly: "We'll do it."

Black Star was the only hope for escape. He had no choice, and with the sponsorship of a behemoth like the Black Star Army, he seemed to no longer have to do things on a small scale like before.

Han Xiao hummed and smiled in his heart.

Want to go back and inherit the family business? Dream on!

Once you enter my vegetable garden, don't even think about running away, honestly do your old business and sell yourself to work for me!
