The silver alloy door slowly slid open to the sides, and inside was a room made entirely of polymer materials, the walls and floors were a creamy white color, like the reflection of enamel giving it a sense of roundness.

Five large display cases are distributed in the center of the room in the shape of a five-pointed star, and each display case is placed with a super A-class solidified by the amber of time and space, in different postures, each person's expression is fixed on the face, and there is nothing else in the room.

"This is my collection."

The group walked into the room, and the person who spoke at the head was Han Xiao, followed by Qiao Tina and a group of former Beast Ancestor cadres.

The troops who went out destroyed the Beast Ancestor's base camp with their front feet, and Jyotina pulled a group of brothers and sisters over with her back feet to thank them again, Han Xiao still remembered that he promised them to visit Gorutan, so he brought everyone over.

This is the collection room where he houses five super A-class captives, and the name of each captive is written on the display case, which is the ethereal "Red Devil" Torleon, the glorious "Lone Wanderer" Jack Gonitz, "Spirit" Wurm and Hedis, and the "Beast Ancestor" Gorutan.

Five super A-level specimens are displayed here, which is the best evidence of the record, and this scene alone has shocked everyone.

Jotina locked onto Gorutan at a glance, and she felt nothing but pleasure at the sight of the enemy she had feared for years frozen in amber.

"You have this day too!"

Jiotina clenched her fists excitedly, feeling that this was the happiest day of her life, that the dark days of the past were gone, and that the world in front of her seemed to have color again.

It was as if a breath of fresh air was rising in my mind, cleansing away the pent-up hatred, despair, and anger, leaving only the refreshment and hope of a new start in life.

She looked back at Han Xiao, her eyes full of admiration and tenderness that could not be dissolved.

In her eyes, Black Star seemed to exude a holy light, which was the street lamp that led her to a new life.

Sensing Qiao Tina's warm eyes, Han Xiao's face shook slightly.

He didn't have much contact with Jhotina, but the straightforwardness and enthusiasm of the other party made him remember it vividly.

The reward of [Liberation Beast Ancestor Forces] has been settled, and there has been a large wave of favorability, and he estimates that Jotina's loyalty is about to explode.

Han Xiao coughed dryly and said, "There are still some of you who have not been assigned specific positions, and it just so happens that we have rescued a large number of young descendants of the Beast Ancestor, and this group of people has been handed over to you to teach, no problem, right?" ”

"No problem!" Everyone nodded their heads, very happy with this arrangement.

"Then you guys take your time here, I still have some things to deal with."

Han Xiao found an excuse to leave alone, Qiao Tina and the others had been so depressed for many years, he was not going to disturb this group of people to vent their emotions, anyway, with Philip staring, he didn't need to stay here.

Back in the office, Han Xiao thought about the staffing in the legion, and muttered secretly:

"The top-level natural disaster-level combat power under my command is currently only Hardaway, Rotheil, Fortin, and Jyotina, and the other potential stocks have not yet fully grown, these dozen or so beast ancestor cadres who defected are very weighty, plus this batch of rescued beast ancestors' young descendants, a new faction will be formed in the legion in time......"

There are no factions in the party, there are thousands of strange factions, and the Black Star Legion is also divided into various mountains, not counting Han Xiao himself, it can be roughly divided into several major factions.

The first is the patriarchal faction led by Melos, which is subdivided into small hills such as Sunil, Godora, and Aqua Star, which represent the veteran members of the legion. The second is the academic faction headed by Rakki and Nilo, which is basically composed of previous graduates of the Super Energy Academy and is very active. The third is the mainstream faction led by some of the Catastrophe who joined later, which is the largest faction, among which there are no official warriors and mercenaries without support. Fourth, the administrative faction headed by Sylvia and Renard is mainly non-combat clerks, who are in charge of the daily affairs of the legion, economic logistics and other fields.

And after Jotina and the others gain a firm foothold in the legion, eighty percent will form a Beast Ancestor Sect, or a Sect that abandons darkness and surrenders to the Ming.

As for Hela, who is a loner, does not run henchmen, and has no faction, while the Guards have limited influence on various departments of the Legion and do not overlap functions, so they cannot form a faction, and Rotheil, who runs the Assassin Mutual Aid Society outside, is a secret, and is not considered a faction in the Legion.

These factions also fight in private, but they are pressed by themselves, and they are very restrained from each other. Every big organization will have continuous infighting with the passage of time or expansion, but the Black Star Legion has not been established for a long time and is still very young, so the degree of infighting is very slight, and it is limited to the internal competition of some businesses.

It is impossible to completely eradicate it, everyone has their own thoughts, and they cannot ask others to give selflessly, even if a loyal backbone like Melos also has personal interests, that is, to seek more welfare for the Sunir people.

Power can constantly change people's minds, and the longer senior cadres serve the legion, the more they want. Moreover, the super-powerhouses who defected to the Black Star Legion in the follow-up were originally to seek a broader future, everyone is a person who goes to a higher place, no matter how big the cake is, the competition will not disappear.

"It's the same with the Development Federation, it's just a start-up now, the concept of factions is vague, and when the resources are integrated to a certain point, they will definitely split into different factions...... Han Xiao said secretly.

He guessed that the three major civilizations would use divisive means to infiltrate the super-A-level association, and there were always some people who did not agree with the theory of the super-A-level united front from the heart, and were easy to be co-opted, and there were many more people who were swaying on the wall.

The structure of the Development Federation is destined to be indispensable in the future from the beginning, and the high-level above the director must understand the importance of holding together, and the resource integration stage of the association is an important accumulation period.

As the vice president, he was nominally suppressed by McNison, but this could not empty himself, and the source of his right to speak was his own strength and power, and the second was his influence in the association.

"The resource integration phase was also an opportunity for me to use my strengths to make more members, form my own party, and slowly shorten the network gap between me and McNison...... As long as there are many people who support me, and I can compete with McNison in day-to-day decision-making, it will be beneficial for me to be re-elected in the future, and if I don't do something, I may not be able to keep my position as vice president......"

Han Xiao groaned, he chose to take a step back, just to accumulate.

There is a good opportunity now, although the three civilizations have acquiesced in the legitimacy of the Development Federation, the mission of the Dark Emperor has not ended.

In other words, the nominal honorary director Clotty will also make moves against other members, which will undoubtedly damage the credibility of the Development Federation, which is a provocation and contempt of a cosmic-level civilization, and at the same time an offensive temptation.

"In this case, those neutral super A-class who have been hired by the super star cluster civilization should panic, this seems to be my opportunity to take advantage of the situation, if I exert influence on the empire and let the higher-ups terminate the actions of the Dark Emperor, it will not only show the importance of me as a vice president, but also gain the favor of these neutrals......"

Thinking of this, Han Xiao asked Philip to send a text message to the neutral super A-level in the association, first shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and then mentioning the Dark Emperor, knocking on the side.

Although he decided to come forward to solve this matter in person, Han Xiao didn't want to keep a low profile, and silently helping others was generally a spare tire behavior, either not doing it, or letting everyone know that he did it himself.

Therefore, Han Da Technician plans to contact these neutral super A-level who are targeted by the Dark Emperor first, and let them raise this matter in public at the next plenary meeting, and all super A-level members will hold plenary meetings every once in a while, and the origin of the Development Federation makes this behavior justified, which is also one of the original intentions of building a communication platform.

"Speaking of which, the Dark Emperor has captured the traveler, this guy dumped Sorokin, the empire will definitely not give up, I don't know what means will be used to punish the Infinite Consortium."

Han Xiao smiled.

Didi......

At that moment, the communicator suddenly rang.

Radiance and Ethereal sent messages around the eleventh revision of the ransom clause.

Han Xiao browsed it, and compared to the first edition, the compensation conditions for Radiance and Void Spirit were much more generous.

Because he has not replied to the amendments, the two drafters of the clauses are going crazy, and they deeply feel how terrifying it is for a Party A to not make specific requests.

"It's been months, it's almost over, it's time for a result."

Han Xiao smacked his lips and changed some conditions on the basis of the two terms, such as replacing part of the resource compensation with golden drawings.

The two cosmic-level civilizations had a rich number of golden drawings in their inventory, and what they took out to exchange for were screened regular equipment, but it didn't matter, since this was one of the sources of divine transformation points, Han Xiao had a huge demand for golden blueprints.

As soon as the two offers were issued, the diplomats of Radiance and Ethereal Spirit were immediately excited, and without saying a word, they sent a communication application to find Han Xiao to start formal negotiations.

Han Xiao didn't torture the other party anymore this time, and after some bargaining, he made an agreement, and he would exchange three cosmic treasure-level drawings one after another.

The captives he was going to return in the first phase were Torreine and Heitis, one from each of the two families.

He didn't sell the glorious people to the ethereal spirit for the time being, and although such a provocation was useful, it also had drawbacks.

Anyway, there were two other glorious captives left in his hands, who could be sold at a high price, and Han Xiao now needed to influence the cosmic-level civilization in order to increase his voice in the Development Federation. As long as there are still captives left in his hands, the Radiant Federation will have to take care of his face to a certain extent, and the ethereal spirit will have the last hope, so he will not let go of all the captives easily.

After confirming the agreement, Han Xiao looked at the two relaxed diplomats and said slowly:

"I await the day when you make a public apology."

Radiance and Ethereal have publicly apologized for the attack on the Blackstar Legion, the first requirement of the reparations agreement.

"Okay, please follow the news."

The two diplomats performed different etiquette, then disconnected the communication, and the remote projection disappeared in front of Han Xiao's eyes.

Han Xiao leaned back, crossed Erlang's legs, and muttered:

"The Radiant Void Spirit has softened for the time being, and the Empire has also fulfilled the decree of the Evolution Totem and repaired relations with me, and they will not use force against the Development Federation on the surface, so that the three major civilizations should be suspended for a while......"

He is very aware of the urine nature of the three major civilizations, and it is estimated that it will be calm for several months or even a year.

But this is only the calm before the storm, because the three major civilizations still have an old enemy to deal with, and that is the Super Cluster Alliance, which has been quietly expanding in the Free Competition Zone with the silent muttering "You can't see me".

When the three major civilizations are ready, they will inevitably give the Super Cluster Alliance a head-on blow, and this time it will not be as gentle as dealing with the Development Federation, it will definitely be a thunderbolt to dispel the unrealistic ambitions of these Super Cluster civilizations Or in other words, the reason why the three major civilizations are tolerant of Super A is because the Super Cluster Alliance is the number one enemy that needs to be dealt with urgently.

"This half a year to a year is just a low-key accumulation for me."

Han Xiao glanced at the panel, there was a huge amount of experience flowing in every day, and although the cost of upgrading from level 320 to level 340 was an even more exaggerated astronomical amount, it could be made up sooner or later in the face of the ruthless leek cutting machine.

Now that players are familiar with the gameplay of the shining world version, they are gradually on the right track, exploring and PK at the same time, and the game is in full swing.

Han Xiao planned to enrich their game experience, and took advantage of this free time to hold the previously envisioned legion competition and make it a large-scale festival event for the faction.

As the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fat, and players have more liver motivation when they are happy.

……

At the same time, somewhere in the Black Star Palace, there is a hidden location.

A player named Disco Elysium walks through a deep passage led by two mechanical soldiers.

There was no decoration in this corridor, only the miserable white ceiling lights stretched all the way into the distance, and at the end of the line of sight was the metal wall in the corner, and there was silence in the passageway, only the monotonous footsteps could be heard,

Disco Elysium only felt that the atmosphere was infiltrating, and couldn't help but speak:

"Dude, where are we going?"

The two mechanical soldiers had no intention of answering, and they didn't even look back, their steps still in unison.

"Mysterious ......" Disco Elysium shrank his head, simply opened the panel, and muttered, "What kind of mission is this?" ”

On the task list, a task called [Special Experiment] is shining brightly.

Disco Elysium remembers that he has done nothing, and this task suddenly triggers on his own, requiring him to follow the mechanical soldier to a designated location to conduct a special experiment, and there is nothing else to say, but the reward is very rich, worthy of seven or eight B-rank hire.

Curiosity drove him to accept the assignment, opening his mind along the way.

Is this a secret involving the Black Star Legion?

The Legion has been conducting secret experiments that violate some kind of taboo?

Why did I trigger it, could it be that this smuggling into Europe was successful?

Just as he was thinking about it, the two mechanical soldiers in front of him stopped, and the passage came to an end, which was an unpretentious alloy door.

Swiping the door open, the door opened, and Disco Elysium looked in, and a white laboratory jumped into view.

At this time, there was already another player in the room, who also looked over, and the two looked at each other, and they were stunned for a moment.

"You also took the task?"

"[Special Experiment], right?"

"That's right, that's it, do you know what the mission is about?"

"I don't know, I've just arrived."

"It's mysterious, I like it so much."

The two got together and chatted and exchanged information, and their curiosity became stronger and stronger.

Since coming to such a secret place as the headquarters, it is certainly not a trivial matter.

Just then, a team of mechanical soldiers walked in with two devices that resembled survival pods, and the two mechanical soldiers took out the sensory mask equipment and handed it to the two players.

The captain of the mechanical soldier at the head said in an emotionless voice: "Lie down in the cabin, put on the mask, and wait for the experiment to begin." ”

The two players looked at each other, so they had to do so, and with curiosity, they slept in the cabin.

Disco Elysium puts on a mask and instantly plunges into darkness, depriving itself of sight, hearing, and smell, so that it is impossible to know anything about the outside world.

His hands and feet were clasped tightly, and his whole body could not move.

In this state, the waiting time is especially difficult, minute by minute, like years.

Disco Elysium became more and more curious, and even had several impulses to break free and take off the mask to see what was going on, but the high failure penalty of this mission made him a little reluctant.

I don't know how long it took, but just as he was about to get impatient, a prompt popped up on the panel.

[Your B+ potential ability [**Enhanced Musculoskeletal Inflation] has been stripped away!] ]

[You enter Ability Frozen, and you can't use any abilities related to abilities]

[Duration: Unlimited]

"W-What?!"

Disco Elysium was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly lost color.
