Chapter 1 Han Xiao Assembles a Team

Han Xiao gathered a large group of helpers, the most crucial figure being Ai ‘Long Legs’ Emersy.

In the past two years, he rarely returned to Longtan, only occasionally communicating and chatting with Emersy. Emersy placed high trust in him, allowing him to move freely outside, never doubting him.

The spaceship landed at the dock. Han Xiao walked out of the cabin door. Vesander was outside to pick him up. He saw him every time Han Xiao returned and was extremely enthusiastic.

Looking around, he didn't see Jenny's striking figure, which surprised Han Xiao a little.

"Why isn't Jenny here? I thought she would give me a few shots."

"...She's busy, no time," Vesander grinned.

"Looks like she's still very dedicated."

Han Xiao chuckled.

Vesander rolled his eyes. Isn't her dedication all because of you?

After greeting him, Han Xiao went straight to the palace.

In the past two years, Emersy had been staying at home in Longtan, focusing on cultivating Hela and Aurora. They were all very happy to learn of Han Xiao's visit.

Emersy got up and left the throne, floating to Han Xiao with a smile, "It's been a while, I missed you a little. What brings you here?"

"Can't I come back to visit if there's nothing?" Han Xiao smiled. "But I do need your help this time."

"Speak."

Han Xiao explained that he wasn't asking Emersy to deal with Sana and her group. It wouldn't be good to let them go back like that. What he needed was Emersy to hold the line during the attack on the enemy's base, ensuring a one hundred percent chance of success.

At the same time, this was also an opportunity. He had gathered many prominent forces from the Shattered Star Ring, assembling them in a secret location. Once he defeated Sana and her group, they would jointly attack this mysterious force's base and rescue the powerhouses of each family. With so many forces gathered, if Emersy held the line, she could temporarily lead these forces under the name of a Super-A grade.

Han Xiao called in so many forces, simply to deal with six A-grade powerhouses was purely using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. His bigger goal was to turn this matter into sensational news, thereby expanding his influence.

With so many large forces led by Longtan, cooperating together could change many people's impression of Longtan. Longtan would transform from a neutral force that didn't contend with the world into a powerful camp that could rally a hundred responses. Even if it was a misunderstanding, it would be useful.

All along, among the four Super-A grades in the Shattered Star Ring, Emersy's power was recognized as the weakest. This time, it could refresh people's perceptions, which was very beneficial.

Hard power couldn't be improved quickly, but influence and connections were a shortcut. The stronger Longtan was, the more it could give back to him.

Moreover, after fighting side by side, if the powerhouses of these forces were rescued, they would owe him a favor. Forming a good relationship with them in the name of Longtan, these forces, although having status, would obviously give face to a Super-A grade. He could then transform these forces into his connections through Longtan.

Han Xiao always attached great importance to power, after all, the universe was so big, one person's power was limited. Even a Super-A grade needed helpers. Individual combat power and the scale of power, both had to be grasped, both had to be strong.

The version update would come sooner or later, and the players would disappear for about ten years. To maintain the camp from shrinking during this period, or even go a step further, more external support was needed.

After listening to Han Xiao's explanation, Emersy didn't hesitate and agreed.

She supported Han Xiao one hundred percent, and she had been staying at home for so long, she really wanted to go out and stretch her muscles, and let Hela and Aurora see the world.

Han Xiao looked to the side, Hela and Aurora had not interrupted, and their temperament had changed after two years of cultivation.

Emersy taught the two to develop their abilities. Hela's aura became more and more icy, while Aurora was the opposite, appearing warm and sunny, full of vitality.

In terms of strength, Hela had made rapid progress. She originally had C-grade strength, and her talent was very strong. After Emersy's development, she didn't take any detours and had officially stepped into the threshold of B-grade.

Aurora's position was that of a super-healer, her rank was not high, but her abilities had become much stronger.

Hela's appearance hadn't changed much, but her life had sublimated after advancing, becoming taller and more beautiful. Aurora's height hadn't grown much, but her figure had become a real "milk mother", her combat uniform bulging.

Her ability endowed her with terrifying vitality, coupled with three nutritious meals a day, her size was not much different from her sister's.

Han Xiao looked at Aurora's breasts and sighed, "Your training is too hard, look, a good girl, forcibly swollen."

Aurora could tell that Han Xiao was teasing, and her face turned red. She didn't want to grow so big, but this was an ability, and she couldn't do anything about it. Her shoulders ached from shaking every day, and she wished she could take them off and put them in her pocket.

Although Hela was expressionless at this time after two years of absence, she was actually a little excited, but when she heard this, her face darkened immediately. She didn't say a word, and scraped Han Xiao's face with her knife-like sharp eyes, but of course she couldn't get an inch and was directly ignored by Han Xiao.

Han Xiao also brought up the issue of the Zero Organization, saying that he would work for the Purple Crystal Civilization for a period of time. Emersy didn't have any opinion, and was very happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper. Jenny only had a belly full of mmp about this.

……

Han Xiao secretly gathered helpers. After preparing everything, he found a Black Star base that wasn't too important, stayed there, and prepared to wait for the enemy to step into the pit.

This base was located on a Godora colony star, and many players often stopped here. Choosing this as the battlefield was something Han Xiao had carefully considered. It was also to boost his image in front of the players. Image projects were very important.

Now, the Black Star Troupe had completed the function of guiding the camp. Han Xiao's next goal was to keep the players and always make the Black Star Troupe the main camp.

In the next version, the available camps would increase sharply. Many of them were joint forces, with high welfare and large main quests. Players would be tempted, and Han Xiao had to maintain the camp's attractiveness. As the camp leader, he had to constantly improve the players' impression of him.

After waiting for many days, Sana and her group finally acted. In fact, they had arrived in the Garton Star System long ago and had been observing Han Xiao's movements.

Han Xiao had also been observing them. The [Prey] mission popped up with the second stage.

The requirement was to repel the three's attack. In addition to the high experience reward, he could also randomly draw an ability from Ellett and the other two. Han Xiao deduced that this high-difficulty series mission might have a special reward for drawing an ability in each stage. As long as he was lucky, he could make a fortune.

Because this was a Godora colony star, Sana and her group didn't want to cause too much commotion, so they still decided to use infiltration tactics, attack at close range, quickly deal with Black Star, and then quickly evacuate.

Ellett cast advanced stealth and disguise spells. Although the base had access control, it was like nothing in front of an A-grade powerhouse. Without alarming Phillip, he and Adrian easily sneaked into the base. Sana was outside to respond.

The disguise spell turned the two into common mercenary images. Ellett was very confident in his spells, believing that it was impossible to be seen through. The two swaggered around, as if strolling in their own backyard.

However, after only walking for a while, the two realized that something was wrong. Everywhere they went, almost all Black Star mercenaries would look at them, their expressions very strange, as if the two of them were out of place.

"I think something's wrong," Adrian whispered.

"Could it be that we've been discovered? Impossible, how could my spells be seen through by so many people?"

Ellett couldn't believe it.

His disguise spell was actually effective. At least the surrounding players couldn't see any information about them, even their names were question marks.

However, the question marks of Ellett and the other two were bright red!

Two red-named enemies were walking around in their home, and the players were shocked, not knowing what was going on.

Although Borick was from DarkStar, he was at least an undercover agent. DarkStar was already dead, and before he joined Black Star, he was just a yellow name. However, Ellett and the other two were enemies, and red names were simply the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of the players.

Bang bang bang!!

A player suddenly opened fire on the two, and the surrounding players followed suit, the barrage covered the two, and a violent explosion occurred.

Although they didn't know what was going on, they were red names anyway, maybe there was a triggerable mission, it wouldn't hurt to try.

Buzz--

A magic shield opened, blocking all attacks.

"We're exposed!"

Ellett was surprised, he couldn't figure it out, how could this group of mercenaries, who were only at C-grade, see through his seamless disguise spell?!

At this time, Han Xiao, who had been prepared, immediately appeared, floating in the sky, looking down at the two, showing off his acting skills, pretending that he didn't know their origins.

"I felt something was wrong when I was attacked last time. Sure enough, someone wanted to target me. I really waited for you. Who exactly are you?"

Ellett didn't answer, and with a deep shout, he cast various spells. Adrian's aura soared.

Sana, who was outside, knew that her teammates had been exposed and immediately took action, tearing apart the outer wall of the base, preparing to besiege Han Xiao together. Although the infiltration had failed, the three of them were close to A+ grade superhumans, and a head-on collision would definitely crush Black Star. They could still make a quick decision.

Han Xiao easily avoided the attacks and said with a sneer, "Did you think I didn't have any preparations?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several soaring auras erupted around the base. Nagokin and the other two Godora A-grade executives all emerged from their hiding places.

The forces Han Xiao had gathered were prepared for attacking the enemy's base. At this time, his goal was only to force Sana and her group back. He specifically chose the Godora colony star as the battlefield, which was to reach an agreement with Godora to ask them to help. The strength wouldn't be too overwhelming, and they could naturally let the water go, allowing Sana and her group to successfully "escape".

The Black Star Troupe and Godora had in-depth cooperation. This small request was just a phone call for Han Xiao, and Nagokin was happy to help.

Ellett frowned. The opponents were a total of four A-grade powerhouses. The three of them were not afraid, but they couldn't make a quick decision. This was a Godora colony star. Once they were held back, the Godora fleet could cause them a lot of trouble.

The three looked at each other and reached a consensus.

Black Star was too vigilant. After being attacked only once, without knowing their details, he didn't hesitate to make a big fuss to lure them out of their holes, which was very cautious and decisive in their eyes.

The three didn't suspect that their movements had been leaked. Han Xiao pretended to use a stupid method to wait for the rabbit, which didn't make them suspicious. They were confident that their actions were very secret.

Moreover, if Black Star knew that they were three people, he wouldn't have only ambushed three Calamity Grades.

Han Xiao continued his performance and said in a deep voice, "You have nowhere to escape. No matter who you are, I will force you to reveal your origins."

"You're too confident. If you can stop us, try it."

Ellett scoffed.

He didn't care about four Calamity Grade opponents. Maybe only Black Star was a little difficult to deal with.

The three weren't flustered. They were very confident in their own strength. The people Black Star ambushed couldn't keep them. They could leave if they wanted to.
