The stars are shining, surrounded by rivers of light, embellishing the darkness of the universe with brightness, the shining stars are incomparably far away, each of them is a race, a civilization, a thought, just like a plane sailing in the night sky overlooking the lights of thousands of homes, vast and vast, but full of vitality.

Through the porthole, the outline of the Golden Gate Star gradually becomes more detailed, and you can see the ships of different shapes rise and fall on this colonized planet of Godora, and the atmosphere of prosperity seems to be able to spread in a vacuum, so that people who are watching from afar can also feel this prosperity.

This is a medium-sized long-distance travel ship, a common model, gray steel alloy shell, conventional jump engine, secondary shipborne electromagnetic shield, the official price is in the range of 750,000 to 900,000 inars, second-hand is about 30% cheaper, if there is a relationship in the shipyard, it can even be bought at a cost price of about 170,000, this ship has a bright bright yellow crown paint on the side, this is a rental spaceship belonging to the "Crown Star Tour".

And this tour group, a month ago, reached a long-term lease agreement with the Black Star Mercenary Group for thirteen spaceships, and the rental fee is much lower than the selling price, but it is not cheap.

At this time, the spaceship, which temporarily belonged to the Black Star Mercenary Group, was carrying dozens of mercenaries and flying towards Golden Gate Star - these mercenaries were new members of the Black Star Mercenary Group that had been recruited in the previous months.

In the year of preparation, after Han Xiao completed the production line project, he used the prestige of the mercenary group to recruit hundreds of free mercenaries to expand his armed forces, so as to increase the NPC resources of the mercenary group itself, and these new mercenaries were organized into different detachments to facilitate command.

To deal with the disaster of alienation, it is obviously not enough to rely on a few Melos alone, and now there is no need to control the scale, the more manpower, the better, Han University technicians have never been stingy with the initial investment, carrying a lot of money in their waists, and they are uncomfortable without spending money.

"Black Star suddenly summoned everyone, I don't know if there is a big move."

"We are nominally Longtan's troops, could it be that the dragon seat has some orders?"

"I've asked, no one knows what Black Star is going to do, not even those cadres."

"Everyone else has arrived, but we are the last to arrive, and I hope nothing will be delayed."

While these mercenaries were chatting, the spaceship landed at the nearest airport to the base on Golden Gate Star, and when they stepped on the surface, dozens of mercenaries of different shapes hurried away, and not long after, the group stopped in front of a huge base, which occupies an octagonal plane, surrounded by alloy walls full of automated turrets, and is heavily defended.

The architectural style is a huge metal castle, the black shell reflects the sun's rays, the shape is like countless steel towers spliced together, a dozen towering metal obelisks point to the sky, like a dozen uneven fries, the architectural structure is angular and has a precise and rigorous mechanical sense. In addition to the large areas of iron gray, white and red paint runs along the edges, adding a slight aesthetic to the heavy base, and the blue indicator light dots distributed on the various facilities are full of technology.

This is Han Xiao's achievement in the past year - Black Star No. 1 Base!

The mercenaries came to the door, and a complex verification interface popped up on the screen, and after the group of people proved the identity of the members of the Black Star in turn, the door slowly opened, and the screen emitted a synthesized voice.

"Verified by the hum...... Welcome back buzz......"

"Philip, how was your day?" A mercenary quipped into the screen.

"Buzzing at work...... No small talk ......"

The group walked into the base, the internal terrain is not complicated, in the middle is a huge hollowed-out space, criss-crossed, high and low metal bridges lead to different areas, at a glance, like a beehive, this central area is called the "mouthpiece" by the mercenaries.

The area of the base is too large, even if there are tens of thousands of people, it cannot be filled, and the mercenary group is only a few hundred people, so the interior of the base is very empty.

The group of mercenaries chatted as they walked to the hall, and their voices echoed in the vast space, and the echoes were ethereal.

When I came to the base hall, I saw that hundreds of people were already waiting here, silent and solemn, and the laughter of this group of people stopped abruptly and hurriedly gathered behind the crowd.

The hundreds of people present are all the current members of the mercenary group, wearing armor of different shapes, carrying swords, axes, hammers or spears and cannons, tall, short, fat and thin, or human or beast, but the same thing is that each mercenary exudes an elite and powerful aura, which makes people know at a glance that they have experienced a hundred battles and are very difficult to mess with.

At the front of the crowd, the cadres under the command of Black Star were lined up, leaving only the back to the hundreds of people behind, Melos in blue and white armor, Alosia with a shimmering light, the three Volga brothers carved out of a mold, and the three new cadres who had joined a few months ago, while Fordin and Sylvia stood a little farther away.

At this moment, the metal floor in front of everyone cracked in a spiral, and a figure appeared in front of everyone on the elevator, black and fluttering, wearing a compression ball necklace, bracelets, earrings, and a pure black mask that covered his face.

It was Han Xiao.

After a year, Han Xiao changed into a more imposing outfit, and the budding leader put on a mask - he thought it was more handsome.

We are people with a fixed industry, so we have to go up a little bit, and this pure black mask itself is a mechanical equipment.

As soon as he appeared, all eyes were on him, waiting for his instructions.

"Everyone's here?"

Han Xiao glanced at everyone, his eyes swept over the faces, these mercenaries were personally recruited by him, Long Tan's signboard and the reputation of the mercenary group are really easy to use, most of them are lone wolves with good strength, experienced in a hundred battles, very reliable, which can be divided into three factions, one is the former free mercenaries who did not hold a group, one is the Sunil detachment, and the other is the "battle alliance" brought by one of the new cadres.

After the construction of the base was completed, he did not stay in the base all the time, took the time to go to different planets, and recruited three new cadres based on his memories and intelligence, all of whom were famous and surnamed figures in his previous life.

Xie Linde, a native of Sunil, a B-level martial artist, was wearing a white armed hooded robe, the texture seemed to be soft, but it was actually engraved with a defensive enchantment, his face was hidden in the shadow of the hood, and two knife handles hung from his waist, which could pop out the blade at any time, when they first met, this outfit almost made Han Xiao think that he had run out of the "XX Creed".

This person is another B-class superpower of the Guardian faction who is still serving the clan in the Sunil civilization, when Fagona led people out of the clan, not including Sherind, he is taciturn, just like his fast and strange martial arts school, like an assassin lurking in the shadows, contrary to Melos's wide open martial arts style.

Melos matched, Han Xiao found the lone Sherinde, and sent him an invitation, with the improvement of the reputation of the Black Star Mercenary Group, more and more Sunil superpowers joined the Black Star in groups, which was safe and made a lot of money, it can also be said that Han Xiao gave them shelter, under the persuasion of Melos, Sherinde accepted Han Xiao's invitation and acted together.

Sunil's detachment was led by Melos and Sherinde at this time.

The second new cadre, Jin Dai Kanglin, a female cosmic human, a B-class gunner, carries a variety of heavy firearms all over her body, and her tall and hot figure is covered by heavy machinery, and she respects the creed of the supremacy of firepower.

Jin Dai is a well-known lone wolf mercenary, who joined the Tianhuan Alliance in his previous life and became one of the famous representative figures, he saw her when Han Xiao was collecting information about the free mercenaries, so he thought about it, quietly dug the corner of the Tianhuan Legion, and dug Jin Dai, who was still a free man, to his own mercenary group.

Of course, the process was not smooth sailing, Jin Dai had a hot temper, and he didn't even pay attention to Long Tan, Han Xiao formulated a small plan, deliberately causing a task of interfering with Jin Dai, causing a conflict between the two, and it was logical to fight. Han Xiao knocked her over several times, and Jin Dai relented and was recruited into the Black Star Mercenary Group.

Han Xiao promised to provide her with heavy weapons at a low price, and Jin Dai was keen to collect various types of firearms, so she had no opinion.

The third cadre has a bigger background, and he is a protagonist-type character, and Han Xiao spent a lot of energy to fool him into joining the gang - just like when he fooled Melos.

Harmon Avalanche Sonotdine, this is a Luhan orc, more than three meters tall, furry, looks a bit like a bear man, looks quite cute, but is a fierce fighting race. The Orcs of Luhan have their own civilization, located in other star clusters, and are governed by a tribal union system, and Harmon is a candidate for chieftain of the Avalanche Tribe.

Although the Orcs of Luhan are an interstellar civilization, they retain the tradition of warlikeness, barbarism, and martial arts, when a tribe needs to run for the next chieftain, it is not a peaceful vote, but a battle decision, all candidates will be expelled from the home planet, randomly fall on different planets, requiring them to temper themselves in the interstellar space, and at the same time form their own "war alliance". After the stipulated deadline, everyone returns to their home planet with their teams to participate in the battle of the chiefs and face the alliances of other candidates, in other words, the princes tear each other up for succession.

Harmon is the protagonist, the plot on his body is to help him seize the position of the chief of the Avalanche Tribe, when fooling Hamon, Han Xiao triggered this task, this task is simple and rude, from beginning to end, the player in the previous life completed this side quest, the process became a copy, and you can get the copy crystal by doing daily tasks in the Avalanche Tribe, so Han Xiao remembers it very clearly.

The method of recruiting Hamon is naturally to promise to hold an ancient ceremony to become his war alliance, and help him in the battle of chiefs in the future, Hamon is not alone, he also joins the mercenary group with his war alliance, dozens of strong Luhan orc warriors.

Harmon has B-level strength, and his ability is just a simple body enhancement ability, which makes the muscles of his body swell greatly, not that Han Xiao wants to complain, but there is indeed a sense of déjà vu that the whole person is erect.

The effect of the ability is single, but Harmon himself is proficient in all kinds of weapons, and he is a warrior with superb combat skills, Han Xiao once looked at his attributes, there are six rare sub-positions of the [Warrior] system, his brain is full of muscles, and the thief is fierce, and they all say that Heaven is to the left and the warrior is to the right, and Harmon is afraid that he can smash the frame on the right side.

The three new cadres have replenished fresh blood, and there are more right-hand men under their command, and at the same time, the amount of camp rewards has been greatly increased.

Now, the maximum amount of a single time has reached more than 100 experience, and the daily total amount is more than 20 times, which means that he can give out more than 20 million experience rewards to players a day through faction missions, and recruiting NPC members is to better attract players.

Opening the communication terminal, Han Xiao glanced at the interface of the mercenary group.

——

It's a bit of a scale, today is the big day for version 2.0 to start, I've been waiting for almost a year, and I've finally reached this point, and these people should be enough. ’

Han Xiao nodded secretly.

In this year, he has done a lot of things, well prepared, there are 23 production lines in the base, and more than 4.5 million funds are now left about 1.1 million, most of which are spent on materials, so that the production line makes machinery day and night, and the inventory in the warehouse is piled up.

The loan is about to exceed the interest-free period of one year, and according to Rockface's requirements, the interest will be repaid for more than one year, and Han Xiao is waiting to earn it back from the player.

The experience of the panel has already fallen below the 100 million mark, Han Xiao is still level 116, he has spent his experience on gambling on drawings and upgrading skills, and he urgently needs to replenish a wave, he still has a task settlement card in his hand, if he has enough experience, he can even advance directly and rush to level one hundred and forty, it is impossible to say that he does not expect it.

Putting away his thoughts, Han Xiao looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Today, I gathered everyone to carry out a large-scale operation, my hometown is suffering from a catastrophe, their vision is limited to the planet, they can't see what I see, I am their only savior." ”

The mercenaries below looked at each other.

Blackstar's hometown?

Is it the indigenous planet called La Mer?

"I will fight for you, just as you will fight for me."

Harmon thumped his chest with a fist.

"I'm by your side, as always."

Melos bowed.

All the mercenaries in the hall responded.

Looking at the time, it's almost over.

Han Xiao opened the panel and waited silently.

It didn't take long for a new prompt to appear:

[Version 2.0 Released]

[Retrieving data...... Get the data and you're done! ]

[Player Forum Open]

[Welcome to Star Ocean 2.0!] ]

After preparing for so long, 2.0 is finally here!

Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he walked towards the gate, and the crowd automatically got out of the way.

Hundreds of elite mercenaries followed him, following in unison.

"Let's go!"
