Through battlefield repairs, Han Xiao deduced several new blueprints, including floating turrets, large-caliber defensive machine guns, and three types of soldier-grade armor: assault, reconnaissance, and defense. As he expected, the sergeant-grade armor required [Heavy Mechanical Modification], which stalled his progress.

But Han Xiao wasn't the kind of technician to return empty-handed. Using his connections with the military, he spent more than two thousand Enas to buy three different types of sergeant-grade armor. Once he returned to Juberly Hub and learned [Heavy Mechanical Modification], he could deduce the blueprints, create finished products, and sell them to his group of high-level players, easily earning back the cost of the armor.

"Everyone gets 12,000, greatly increasing market consumption." Han Xiao was in a good mood. This type of standard armor sold well. Just investing some experience to upgrade the blueprints could boost its stats, and with his Mechanical Affinity bonus, his armor production far exceeded assembly line output. After selling them, he could also earn long-term repair fees.

The commission he earned from accepting employment was only about the same as one advanced knowledge, but by generating income through these players, he could multiply his earnings many times over.

The Black Star Mercenary Group's credit score increased significantly, finally having its first combat employment record. The Sunil race wrote the specific mission details, showing that the mercenary group had additionally applied for the most dangerous wilderness mission, completed it perfectly, and suffered no casualties. This new record was truly valuable.

The Sunil race's faction favor was unlocked, immediately rising by 1,000 points, reaching a friendly relationship.

Furthermore, his fame increased by 5 points, 2 points more than the original reward. The Black Star Mercenary Group's reputation began to improve in the mercenary industry. The most direct improvement was that the faction reward quota immediately increased by 10,000 experience points, magnified twenty-six times, which meant an additional 260,000 points of reward quota that could be allocated each day.

After the reward was settled, the mercenaries left one after another, but Han Xiao remained in Morian City. The players had been there for several days and were getting restless.

One day, the group approached Han Xiao. Kuang Dao asked doubtfully, "Black Phantom, you..."

"Call me Black Star." Han Xiao tapped Kuang Dao's forehead.

Kuang Dao said helplessly, "Black Star, when are we going back? Is there anything else to do here?"

"Waiting for someone."

The players thought that this employment mission would end after the Calamity of the Sky, but in Han Xiao's eyes, everything had just begun!

...

A day later, the Sunil military sent someone to notify Han Xiao that Melos wished to meet with him. Han Xiao's eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of a smile.

"He's finally here."

He followed the soldier to a base facility, entered a private room, and Melos stood up from his chair, waved his hand, and let the soldier leave, closing the door, leaving only the two of them in the room.

There were two glasses of wine on the table. Han Xiao glanced at them, sat down directly, and said with a smile, "I thought you would have looked for me sooner."

"Some things were delayed. I had to cooperate with the military's publicity, and I also lent my brother's armor to the research institute." Melos looked helpless. He didn't expect to receive such grand treatment. There were three main reasons: first, to dilute the impact of the split; second, Melos himself was powerful, and strength represented status. The entire race only had two known Class B Supers. Fagorna had left, and now there was Melos; third, the General-grade armor had reappeared.

"You seem to have a lot of questions to ask me, but let me ask you one first..." Han Xiao picked up his glass and slowly swirled it, deliberately using a slow tone, "Do you believe I'm a Preceptor?"

"Half believe." Melos's eyes were bright and piercing. "Did you foresee my protecting the race's future long ago, so you came to contact me?"

"Of course, I didn't know that a bar owner was actually a hidden Class B Super, nor did I know that he would wear General-grade armor called Shattered Splendor to fight the Calamity of the Sky." Han Xiao's tone was playful.

Melos smiled bitterly. No one knew that his armor was called Shattered Splendor, confirming the Preceptor's identity. But he still had a question, asking curiously, "How many events can you foresee? How far into the future can you see?"

"Haha, to be honest, I can only foresee some fragments of the future. They're all just fragments, and I don't know much. If I hadn't coincidentally glimpsed the future of the Sunil, I wouldn't have come here."

Han Xiao looked sincere, without batting an eye.

"So that's how it is. Although I don't know much about the interstellar world, I've heard that Precognition is generally limited." Melos suddenly understood, very grateful that Han Xiao had foreseen the future of the Sunil race and not something else. He couldn't help but secretly sigh, maybe this was the race's long-awaited luck.

Suddenly, Melos's eyes became sharp, staring at Han Xiao, and said in a deep voice, "Then what is your purpose?"

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Flames faintly appeared on Melos's body. He believed that Han Xiao must have an ulterior motive, otherwise he wouldn't have revealed his identity as a Preceptor for no reason. He must want to get something from the Sunil race.

Han Xiao pondered, put down his glass, and slowly said, "Let me tell you a story..."

"On a backward planet of surface civilization, there was a handsome man who was used as a test subject. One day, he was arranged to undergo an experiment, awakened the ability of Precognition, and saw many fragments of the future. Relying on his Precognition, he successfully escaped, gained freedom, and then killed the evil enemies on that planet, becoming a legendary figure who could be recognized across the entire planet. But at this time, he saw a new future, a man-made extraterrestrial disaster would soon befall his homeworld, and the mastermind was hidden in the depths of space, so he left the planet and stepped into a wider world to find a way to save his homeworld..."

Han Xiao straightened his collar, "None other than, this unworthy one is that handsome man."

Melos couldn't hold back his face, his mouth twitching. He didn't know if this kind of self-proclaimed description was normal in the interstellar world, but according to the Sunil people's standards, it was simply shameless...

"You and I are different races, and aesthetic differences are normal." Han Xiao's tone was generous.

"Oh..." Melos took it seriously, stunned for a moment before suddenly remembering the main business. "Are you saying that you entered the universe to save your homeworld? Does this have anything to do with the Sunil?"

Han Xiao smiled. "My homeworld is located in the Garton Star System, and is about to suffer a disaster. The name of the mastermind must be very familiar to the Sunil people."

Melos blinked, his face suddenly changing, "DarkStar?!"

He felt suddenly enlightened, everything connected!

So that's how it is, DarkStar is a common enemy, so the other party came to Sunil, that's the motive!

At this time, Han Xiao added, "The mercenaries under my command are also warriors from the same planet. They are very clear about this matter, and they followed me to seek a way to save the planet. They can testify for me at any time. I am helping you, both out of sympathy and to seek allies. You already know why I came, you can rest assured now, right?"

Melos's expression softened, and he said with reverence, "So you, like the guardians of Sunil, are also a hero who wants to protect his own planet."

Han Xiao didn't blush or pant, and said modestly, "Not at all, bearing the responsibility of justice, I can't be called a hero."

In a trance, Technician Han seemed to have returned to the time when he had just transmigrated and was pretending to brainwash people, and the soul of the Oscar winner was burning fiercely.

At this moment, Melos only felt that Han Xiao's figure suddenly became tall and mighty, and he suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Look at this man's awareness, just by foreseeing some fragments, he immediately set out to find a way to save his homeworld, a total man of action. Looking at himself, after the race fell into trouble, he wasted so many years. Just thinking about it made him blush, and he immediately became discouraged, unable to continue to maintain his tough attitude in front of Han Xiao.
