Chapter 176 After Meeting Harrison

After meeting with Harrison, Han Xiao left the prison, ran back to the research institute, and approached the Super-A Grade Mechanics there.

"You're going on a field mission?"

Hearing this news, Manison and the other Super-A Grade Mechanics were a little surprised, not understanding why Black Star wasn't doing his research work properly and ran out to do such hard labor.

"What kind of attitude is that? I'm responding to the call of the three major civilizations, leading by example, and taking the lead in the charge. I'm full of responsibility from head to toe," Han Xiao said righteously.

"Then go if you want to go. What are you looking for us for?" Manison was too lazy to continue the conversation, looked Han Xiao up and down, and guessed Black Star's plan.

This Black Star never sees a rabbit without letting the eagle go; if there's no benefit, he definitely wouldn't carry out a field mission. He felt that Black Star's move was not just to find the virus core, but also to take the opportunity to conquer the major forces in the Ancient Star Desert under orders and infiltrate them.

To be honest, Manison had such thoughts at first, but after considering it again and again, he gave up the intention.

The three major civilizations now would never allow Super-A Grades to take the opportunity to expand their power. In the end, his actions would most likely be making wedding clothes for others, so the always restless Machinery Country was now honestly developing the three-piece anti-virus kit, not wanting to cause trouble… Moreover, the attraction of new technology to him was much higher than expanding his power.

At this time, Han Xiao smiled slyly, stretched out two fingers and rubbed them against each other, and said with confidence:

"Anyway, you don't need to fight, so sponsor me a little bit, lend me some mechanical troops."

Everyone was silent.

Lending troops to you would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, and would they ever come back?

Is that a loan? You just want our troops, you despicable!

"...How many do you want?"

"Hey, I don't ask for much. The main thing is that this is a moment for the three major civilizations to see your sense of justice. Just give me what you think is appropriate. Don't exceed 50 million for each person. I'd be too embarrassed if there were too many," Han Xiao said modestly, waving his hand.

Bah, a mechanical force of 50 million? What the hell are you dreaming about?

You're still embarrassed? So shameless!

Everyone slandered secretly, but did not refuse Han Xiao's request. Allies of the three major civilizations and several neutral Super-A Grade Mechanics lent out some ordinary mechanical soldiers, adding up to a total of about 8 million.

Old Man Manison was the most generous, waving his hand and lending 2.5 million mechanical troops. This amount of troops was just a drop in the bucket for him.

The most stingy was "Machinery Disaster" Fransk, who only gave 5,000 troops, and even then he was reluctant and twisted. Even Jack Guernica, a Mechanic Martialist who was not proficient in mechanical manufacturing, gave more than him.

Super-A Grade Mechanics had large families and businesses, and a little mechanical soldier was nothing. Knowing that they couldn't get them back, they simply treated them as battle losses. In contrast, Black Star's face still had to be given, and this move was also to show an attitude to the three major civilizations, indicating that although we were too lazy to do it, we strongly supported field operations.

After collecting the troops "sponsored" by everyone, Han Xiao was satisfied. Although this little battle force was nothing to him, he just liked to see these Super-A Grades gnashing their teeth but being helpless.

Arriving at the Star Harbor Pier, Han Xiao boarded a main ship arranged for him by the empire. He took over the commander's authority from the captain. From now on, he would temporarily command three imperial fleets.

After waiting for a while, the warden escorted Harrison and his party in a hurry.

"Your Excellency Black Star, the procedures are complete, and these people are handed over to you."

The warden's tone was respectful.

"Okay." Han Xiao nodded, looked at Harrison and others with joy on their faces, and said, "You are not free men yet. From now on, you have to follow me. If you mess around, I will throw you back into prison, understand?"

"Understood!"

Before Harrison could speak, his teammates couldn't wait to shout it out, for fear of losing the only opportunity if they answered too slowly.

Han Xiao nodded, sent the warden away, and then ordered to set sail.

The three fleets slowly rose into the air, left the disaster command of the three major civilizations, and disappeared into the depths of space.

At this time, the captain asked:

"Your Excellency Black Star, where are we going now?"

"How do you usually act?" Han Xiao asked.

"We usually patrol the desolate universe belt, or go to check some planets that have been confirmed to have traces of infection..."

Nowadays, civilizations of all levels in the Ancient Star Desert have set up checkpoints at the star gate stations, territorial borders, and transportation hub planets. All passing ships must accept inspections. Those unknown ships that avoid the star gate stations and move freely in the desolate universe belt, as long as they access the public links of the star field, the three major civilizations can track the IP address, locate them, and send people to intercept and inspect them. This is the original intention of the star field's continuous network. Most of the field fleets are carrying out such tasks.

Therefore, the biggest problem is those ships that shield public links and enter stealth mode, which can only be detected as much as possible through the space monitoring buoys densely distributed in the star field.

"Let me think..."

After learning about the situation, Han Xiao pretended to ponder, but actually opened the player forum to take a look.

The outbreak of the intelligent plague dragged the players' attention to the Ancient Star Desert, and now the discussions on the Ancient Star Desert in various sections are all pinned hot posts.

Because most of the players are in the Shattered Star Ring, the Ancient Star Desert was immediately blocked after the intelligent plague occurred, causing outside players to be unable to intervene and can only use discussions to vent their strong curiosity.

Han Xiao opened the pinned post, and the players' discussions jumped into his eyes.

【Farting Bulging Tights: I said, the previous two versions had more than one main event, and 4.0 is indeed the same. The intelligent plague is the second version of the main line.】

【Root Formula: But we can't participate in this main line. We can't even enter the Ancient Star Desert. Can we only watch?】

【Three Gays Under the Moon: Haven't you seen the new issue of "Galaxy Times"? The program made a reasonable guess. They said that this version of the main line cannot be just for us to watch. There will definitely be opportunities for us to participate, so the possibility of virus leakage is very high. Only in this way can we other people have a chance to intervene.】

【Four-Eyed Reasoning Emperor: That's right, and now there are many missions on the black market that are hiring people to try to sneak into the Ancient Star Desert. We players can do the same. Based on the influence of the previous two versions on the main line, this intelligent plague incident may be driven by us. As long as someone successfully leaks the virus, the version event can sweep the entire universe!】

【Undead Don't Wear Underpants: We let the disaster spread throughout the universe? It's really the Fourth Natural Disaster _(:з」∠)_】

【Sun Knight: This is too stupid. Isn't it better to stop the disaster? Why do you have to worry about the world being in chaos? Don't you have any conscience!】

【Shi Zhenxiang: That's right, that's right. Have you forgotten the teachings of the legion commander? How can we hold back and let the creatures of the galaxy be devastated.】

In the post, the players were divided into several factions, discussing and cursing each other, with great enthusiasm.

The players did not know that the "intelligent plague" was just the background story of the previous life. They thought it was one of the main lines of version 4.0. Now, most people are in the Shattered Star Ring and cannot enter the Ancient Star Desert, so many people are anxious about not being able to participate in the main plot.

Some people believe that the main line will not be a cutscene plot, so they speculate that the intelligent plague incident will leak on its own without being pushed.

Others feel that this main line needs to be fought for. They actively leak the virus and let the disaster spread, believing that in this way, they can obtain a universe-level main plot.

Among the player groups in the entire universe, there are many people who support promoting the disaster. Some are for participating in the main line, some are for earning rewards, and some are purely for fun, wanting to create a big news, purely wanting to watch the world burn and fearing that the world will not be in chaos.

'As expected of the cancer of the universe...' Han Xiao shook his head secretly.

As the players of chaos ideology continue to become stronger, their negative impact on the cosmic environment will become more and more obvious.

However, he was also slightly pleased. If the players in the previous life encountered the intelligent plague, it is estimated that half of them would support promoting the disaster, but now with the Black Star Army as a guide, more people are standing on the overall situation to consider the problem, opposing the disaster. Obviously, there are far fewer lawless chaotic evil camp players than in the previous life.

'My camp guiding plan is still having some effect.'

Han Xiao felt relieved.

He scanned the other posts in the forum, and suddenly his eyes locked, and he clicked on a title called "Ancient Star Desert Player Welfare! 5 Million Reward for Hiring Task".

The poster shared a screenshot of a task triumphantly. The content was to smuggle the virtual rebellion virus out of the Ancient Star Desert. The reward reached 5 million Enas, which is a huge sum for players, enough to buy more than a dozen small and medium-sized warships.

Seeing that the players who stayed in the Ancient Star Desert had the opportunity to make a lot of money, many replies below expressed envy.

Han Xiao glanced at the ID of the post, called "Melancholy Prince", and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

A reward of 5 million, and a deposit was given. It always feels a little strange... This seems to be using players by name. The behind-the-scenes employer should have summarized some characteristics about the players.

'Hmph, the players staying in the Ancient Star Desert really can't hold back. We must use thunderous means to stop this unhealthy trend of supporting disaster.'

Han Xiao made the decision to kill the chicken to warn the monkey in his heart. This melancholy prince who publicized the hiring task in a high-profile manner is undoubtedly an excellent target.

Only by using thunderous means to deal with him, letting other players see the consequences of causing trouble, can many people be afraid of throwing mice, correct the atmosphere, and reduce the number of people who dare to cause trouble.

At the same time, you can follow the clues to find out the melancholy prince's anonymous employer. After all, there is no harm without buying and selling. Mercenaries are just acting on orders. Only by finding out the behind-the-scenes employer with ulterior motives can you deter Xiaoxiao.

Although the melancholy prince did not disclose his coordinates, since the other party is a mercenary, he must have a record of his whereabouts in the interstellar space. As long as the record of the recent time is locked, the approximate search range can be determined. This is just a piece of cake for a peak Super-A Grade Virtual Mechanic.

The Ancient Star Desert has blocked information, but the player forum is not affected. With this extra intelligence network, Han Xiao can obtain information that others cannot know.

'By the way, I have to find the black market manager in the Ancient Star Desert. These smuggling virus hiring tasks are all released through the black market. As long as this channel is controlled, the movements of those restless forces can be monitored and a hiring channel can be cut off.'

Han Xiao's eyes flashed.

If the black market manager in the Ancient Star Desert does not cooperate, he has the "sword of Shangfang" in his hand, so he does not need to be soft-hearted. Even the three major civilizations are happy to have someone temporarily control the black market channel and reduce the variables of the disaster.

Thinking of this, Han Xiao had a clear action goal and turned to look at the captain.

"Split up. The main team will follow me. We're going to catch a few little bastards."

...

Somewhere in the desolate universe belt of the Ancient Star Desert, an interstellar fortress floats in the outer space of a desolate planet. Ships patrol next to it. The outer armor has the same badge. The pattern is like a roaring wolf head.

This logo represents an interstellar organization called the Kepe爾 Consortium. On the surface, it is a serious consortium, but in secret, it is actually a black market arms dealer in the Ancient Star Desert, operating the gray business of arms resale.

The organization is family-run. The leaders are all members of the Kepe爾 family. The current leader of the organization is Kepe爾 V. This person has some beast blood and has a head shaped like a werewolf.

At this moment, in the leader's office of the Kepe爾 Consortium Fortress, Kepe爾 V is receiving a capable cadre who has just returned.

"Did you complete the task of spreading anonymous hiring on the black market?" Kepe爾 V asked in a deep voice.

"It's done. Many black market mercenaries have accepted the task and are willing to secretly transport the virtual rebellion virus out."

"Very good. The virtual rebellion virus is a powerful weapon. There will definitely be a market in the future. We need to master it!"

As a black market arms dealer, the Kepe爾 Consortium has no reason to let go of the virtual rebellion virus, such a powerful war-level weapon, regardless of other factors, just purely for business considerations.

"Boss, there is one more thing. I specially hired some Undying Mercenary Corps. I think they are more likely to complete the task."

"Well done! The Undying are greedy for money and are naturally suitable for being mercenaries. As long as they are given enough money, they would rather die. Moreover, their race has an unknown way of information exchange, which is not interfered by the quantum network. Using their ability, we can increase the success rate of our plan. As long as one is transported out, the virus can be copied infinitely!"

Kepe爾 V is very satisfied with the work results of his subordinates.

All major forces have studied the characteristics of players, and have summarized some rules more or less. The Kepe爾 Consortium is no exception and has mastered some simple methods of using players.

Currently, the Ancient Star Desert is blocked, and various gray forces may be thoroughly investigated by advanced civilizations at any time. The Kepe爾 Consortium has decided to transfer assets to the outside world and destroy evidence of gray business, so it is determined to transport the virtual rebellion virus and other weapons out of the star field.
