“Phillip, destroy the calculation traces and experimental reports.”

“Understood, buzz.”

The experimental reports disappeared from the screen. Han Xiao waved his hand, put away the virtual screen, turned around, and looked at Aurora and Fording behind him, saying in a deep voice:

“Only the two of you know about this matter at the moment. Don’t tell outsiders for the time being, or there will be trouble, understand?”

“…Are you saying that people like the Germination leader will appear?”

Aurora pursed her lips. Painful memories from the past flashed through her mind, and a trace of fear appeared on her face, but it was replaced by determination in the next second.

Things were different now. She believed that with Han Xiao and her sister by her side, she would not repeat the same mistakes.

“Yes, if this matter spreads, it will arouse the interest of many cosmic behemoths, and you will be in danger.” Han Xiao nodded.

Hela's lifespan made the Super A Grades afraid, while Aurora's ability could drive them crazy. Possessing power that was unrivaled in the universe, most Super A Grades were trying to extend their lifespans in every possible way, even the eternal beings. For example, the former Other God. If he still existed now, he would definitely spare no expense to plot for Aurora's ability, the priority of which would even be far higher than the Evolution Totem.

And it was not only the Super A Grades, some advanced civilizations would also be tempted. Aurora entered the Heavenly Disaster grade, and the efficiency of producing life energy every day was very high. She could already heal people with confidence. Civilizations would not treat her the same way as Germination, but at least they would put her under house arrest, making her constantly manufacture life potions.

In this way, he would also be standing at the cusp of the storm, facing the covetous eyes of many Super A Grades. He must have stronger strength than he currently had to suppress the evil intentions of others. Aurora's ability was a double-edged sword, so before Han Xiao advanced to a higher level, he did not intend to reveal Aurora's information, and was not prepared to use her ability to py with others.

Fording nodded and echoed, “Don’t worry, I’ve always regarded Aurora as my sister, and I won’t let the news leak.”

Han Xiao exhorted the two of them a few more words, then let them leave the room, leaving only himself in the room, pondering alone.

After Aurora advanced to the Heavenly Disaster grade, her connection with Hela became closer. In his opinion, a symbiotic relationship seemed to be forming.

Now that Aurora had just advanced, she still needed to familiarize herself with her abilities. When she awakened the new ability to heal Hela remotely, the increase to Hela would be extremely terrifying.

In his previous life, Hela lost Aurora early on, and without the other end of the symbiosis, she could only recklessly go crazy alone in the cold universe. But the current Hela had not embarked on the path of endless killing, and her growth rate was much slower than in her previous life. A one-on-one fight was definitely not his match in his previous life, but with Aurora, the super-sized milk bottle that ignored distance, Hela’s combat effectiveness would far exceed his previous life self.

“I’m afraid Hela will catch up with me in terms of endurance…” Han Xiao said helplessly. Hela possessed an Aurora character card with unlimited uses.

The super-high-risk ability was very powerful, and the two sisters could also form a perfect cooperation and soul resonance, which was really terrifying. Only abilities in the mental and spatial aspects had a way to restrain the life-sharing connection between the two.

Han Xiao thought for a while, opened the communication channel, and sent a message to Ames, simply telling her the news that Aurora had entered the Heavenly Disaster grade.

…

Above Aquamarine Star, Dragon Emperor Floating Island.

Ames did not participate in the competition for the Flickering World, and still remained in the Shattered Star Ring, only allowing Dragon Emperor to develop in a low-key manner, not chasing trends and opportunities, fully displaying her salted fish nature.

Although she did not participate in the bustling tide of the era, Ames was very aware of the situation in the Flickering World. Han Xiao knew that Ames liked fun things, so he shared first-hand information with her every day, telling her what fun things happened in the Flickering World every day, in order to satisfy her curiosity. Ames enjoyed watching it at home, treating it as a necessary pastime every day. Checking Han Xiao’s messages regularly had become a habit.

In the bedroom of the palace, Ames leaned against the head of the bed, using force fields to condense a small ball, teasing a white giant bear lying on the ground, like teasing a kitten with a cat teaser. It was clearly a sturdy giant bear, but in front of her, it was extremely docile, rolling around playfully.

After Ames moved to Aquamarine Star, Aurora left the pets she had left on the planet at Dragon Emperor, asking her teacher to help raise them as a pastime.

There was another person in the room, Jenny standing at the door, reporting on the operating status of Dragon Emperor. Even though Ames was not listening attentively, she still read the report carefully.

“…Recent public opinion surveys show that 39% of Dragon Emperor warriors are dissatisfied with the current situation. Compared with the previous survey, the proportion has increased by 7%. Many warriors came for the reputation of the Super A Grade, hoping to make a name for themselves and make meritorious contributions under your command, but for a long time, we have lacked opportunities for battle, which has led to unrest among the people, especially since we do not participate in the Flickering World competition, which has made many subordinates even more dissatisfied, and a batch of warriors have been lost…”

Ames turned a deaf ear and stroked the bear with force fields on her own.

Jenny coughed and continued, “Ignoring the trends of the times is not a wise behavior. We should change our decision and set foot in the Flickering World…”

Ames raised her head and glanced at him, smiling gently, “Don’t you dislike work? This is the 22nd time you’ve advised me to march into the Flickering World. Why are you so active now?”

“…Isn’t it you who wants to develop your power?” Jenny gently stroked her hairline, feeling helpless when facing this shopkeeper who threw his hands.

She hated tedious work, but Dragon Emperor had gradually developed over the years, and she was reluctant to let it go. She couldn’t deliberately interfere with Dragon Emperor’s normal operation for the sake of being lazy.

“As my subordinates, they should adapt to me, not me adapt to them.” Ames didn’t take it seriously, then sighed, “If Black Star was still under my command, I wouldn’t have to worry about anything.”

Jenny: “…”

My heart hurts!

Ames ignored Jenny’s distorted expression, waved her hand, and said, “In short, you don’t have to persuade me anymore. I won’t go to the Flickering World. I’m not interested in that place.”

Jenny still wanted to say something, but at this moment, Ames’ communicator rang. She took it out and saw that her eyes lit up slightly.

“Black Star sent me a message again. Jenny, you can wait outside for a while.”

Seeing this, Jenny could only swallow her words back into her stomach, turned around and walked out of the room, feeling sour in her heart.

I haven’t finished my business yet, just because Black Star sent a daily message, you don’t even want to listen to my important report…

I was here first…

Ignoring Jenny, Ames carefully read the message sent by Han Xiao. In addition to the dynamics and greetings shared today, it also included a message that made her excited.

“Aurora has finally reached the Heavenly Disaster grade. My student is so great.” Ames was quite happy.

At the end of the letter, Han Xiao also sent an invitation, asking her to visit the Black Star Palace and meet Aurora.

“Going to the Flickering World…”

Ames hesitated.

If Black Star invites me, it’s not impossible to go to the Flickering World…

So fragrant.

Thinking of this, Ames called Jenny in.

“Prepare the spaceship, I’m going to the Flickering World.”

“You finally figured it out? I’ll organize the troops right away!” Jenny was pleasantly surprised.

“What troops do I need? I’ll just go alone.” Ames raised the communicator and smiled faintly, “Black Star invited me to play.”

Jenny instantly became expressionless.

Oh, I said so much and it was useless, you’ll go as soon as Black Star calls.

So this is the feeling of a change of heart…

At this moment, there is only one song that can perfectly summarize Jenny’s mood:

—In this world, who lives not like a purgatory…

…

Flickering World, Free Competition Zone.

More than a dozen general-purpose spaceships were flying slowly in the universe, carrying guild players from several well-known Southeast Asian clubs such as Red Bay, Titan, and Archipelago.

“Everyone, our next action is crucial and is related to whether we can quickly gain a foothold in the Flickering World.”

In the conference room, Red Bay captain Viper tapped the table, his tone serious.

“A’She is right.” [Sen Python], an old player from Red Bay, echoed. He used to be the captain of Red Bay, but because he was getting old, he took the initiative to give up his position to cultivate new people. Viper was the new captain who succeeded him last season.

“Now the Chinese players have a great advantage. They are forming a group here. Before players from other countries arrive, let’s not provoke them and must develop in a low-key manner.” Titan captain [Bangkok Buddha] analyzed, “But the Chinese players’ approach is very forward-looking. Maybe we can emulate their gameplay and communicate with the NPC forces.”

The Chinese clubs had an unparalleled leading advantage in the Free Competition Zone and had obtained the help of a large number of NPC forces. These Southeast Asian guilds, who had just arrived, naturally did not dare to touch them and just wanted to gain a firm foothold and develop first.

And because of the legion’s system, the Chinese guilds learned the efficient gameplay of Version 4.0 in advance, and the clubs of various countries would naturally study it, so these Southeast Asian clubs also wanted to copy this gameplay.

“But it’s not that easy.” Someone hesitated, “The Chinese players can become formal subsidiary organizations because of the Black Star Legion’s system, but our camp doesn’t have this system and doesn’t have independent qualifications, so we can’t become formalized organizations.”

These big club guilds had not changed jobs at the moment and belonged to the camp that used to work in the Black Hole Edge.

Other camps did not have the legion system. If they wanted to become formal organizations, they could only leave the camp and become independent. Obviously, they did not dare to do so now.

Moreover, these people were not free and had already been conscripted by the camp. Before going to the camp’s base to report, these guilds only had a very limited time to move freely, and their freedom was completely incomparable to that of the legion players.

“The main mission of the camp has already been released. We don’t have much time to move around in the Free Competition Zone. We need to find opportunities quickly.” Viper said.

Everyone discussed countermeasures and decided to adopt a wide-net approach.

Soon, they ran into countless snags. They were not formal organizations and could only use the name of the camp behind them, pretending to be special teams. Most of the organizations they contacted directly refused them—you are also foreign forces, and you are not local snakes like the Black Star Legion. Everyone is a competitor, so there is no need to risk attracting wolves into the house.

The remaining forces were willing to listen to their requests because of their strong strength. Although the scale of these Southeast Asian guilds was not as large as those of large countries such as China and the United States, they could still gather several thousand or ten thousand people together.

Because the club guilds such as Red Bay and Archipelago were not independent organizations, they did not accept employment and copied the agreement of the Chinese guilds, proposing cooperation requirements. Only in this way could they establish a base.

Hearing their requests, the forces that were originally a little interested directly hung up the communication and ignored them.

Viper and others were very surprised and felt that it was different from what they thought. The Chinese players were clearly very smooth, so why was it so difficult for them to communicate with the NPC forces.

After studying for a long time, they finally understood what was going on. These forces disliked them for not being qualified as partners.

The players of the Red Bay, Archipelago, and other guilds belonged to a camp that was at most a Star Cluster-level civilization, and in the current Flickering World, there were too many Star Cluster-level civilizations, which was not enough weight.

The reason why the Chinese players communicated smoothly with various small forces was precisely because their identity shared the influence of the Black Star Legion. Many forces were willing to share the planet and cooperate with the Chinese guilds in order to hug the thigh of the local snake Black Star Legion through them, stabilize their base, and prevent some foreign forces from competing.

As foreign forces of the same Star Cluster-level civilization, they naturally did not have such prestige.

These people were very helpless. The camp was not strong enough, and it was difficult to copy the methods of the legion players. No wonder they ran into walls everywhere.

The more they understood the energy of the Black Star Legion, the more they envied the Chinese players.

After a lot of effort, these Southeast Asian clubs barely had a few small bases, which was completely incomparable to the legion players who were spreading their branches and leaves. Then, these Southeast Asian professional guild players hurriedly responded to the camp’s conscription and worked hard with the camp first, and could not move freely for the time being.

Even the top Southeast Asian guilds such as Red Bay and Archipelago had such a difficult start, let alone other Black Hole Edge players who had not joined the Black Star Legion. They did not have the capital to imitate the gameplay of the legion players and could only have a hardcore start like the early stage of Version 4.0 in their previous lives, lagging behind by more than a star and a half.

The first batch of Black Hole Edge players arrived, and after them, players from more star fields followed, and the situation quickly became complicated, and the World Server gradually took shape.

At the same time, Han Xiao had already come to the Emerald Star Cluster and hid.

Han Xiao had carried out so many layouts for the legion, and the leek field was successfully expanded, which could be called a ruthless fully automatic harvester.

With more and more tender new leeks jumping to the Black Star Legion, the efficiency of his experience acquisition in the short term had increased many times.

When the scale of the Black Star Legion players expanded to nearly 8 million warriors, the experience to reach Level 320 was finally enough!
