Shine the world, in the middle of the Gaul star cluster.

Since the player expedition team took over the legacy of the Great Space Corps and erected a long-distance stargate, Han Xiao led the fleet to the central region of the star map, where there are more famous planets than the border galaxies, and the quality is better.

Among them, there is Jin Yaoxing, who is on the list of "two hundred shining main stars", which was extremely prosperous in the previous life, and is the first-line ruling star of the empire in the Gaolu star cluster, and belongs to one of the characteristic landmark planets that shine in the world, and many people come here every year. There is also the core transportation transit station of the Gaolu star cluster in the previous life, Ruisende Star, which had more than 500 star gate entrances at its peak, and is the traffic heart of the star cluster, extending in all directions and belonging to strategic locations.

In addition, Han Xiao also occupied a large number of famous resource planets that were famous for producing various rare raw materials in their previous lives.

In the previous life, these famous planets had a very important position in the Gaul Star Cluster, and perhaps after the opening of the Shining World in the future, the empire would take back these planets and redistribute the territory, but during the exploration, these planets were the territory of the Black Star Legion, and the legion had the right to share the planet's specialties, which was enough to accumulate a huge amount of rare resources.

The exploration has been going on for four months, and the progress of the various exploration teams is about the same, and the war field is steadily progressing, and it is about to finish exploring the Geralton system, although there are a lot of gains, but the results are within the expectations of the empire, and the wind and waves are calm. In contrast, although Han Xiao's exploration team had slowed down the progress of the first galaxy due to the plan of scattered exploration, it was because Han Xiao had found a large number of famous planets from his previous life, which gave many surprises to the top of the empire.

Therefore, the empire favored him and gave him more and more support.

Han Xiao had heard rumors more than once that the Krent exploration team had quietly followed his method and sent teams to explore planets in other regions, but unfortunately they didn't know the specific situation of the planet at all, so they didn't gain much and wasted time.

In the past four months, the benefits of the Shining World have gradually become apparent, and the income of the Black Star Legion in the Shining World has almost reached the sum of the other businesses of the Legion, and batches of resources have been hoarded in various warehouses.

As more planets are explored by the Legion, the benefits continue to snowball.

There are countless unowned planets waiting to be mined, or to say that shining in the world is a huge opportunity for development.

The legion's income skyrocketed, and the Shining World Exploration Team fed back the Shattered Star Ring Base Camp, and due to the abundant funds, Sylvia continued to expand under Han Xiao's instructions, recruiting more new members who were attracted, and the training camp also provided a lot of fresh blood, and the base camp sent more people to the exploration team.

On the player side, as there are more and more resource planets, the guild is also short of manpower, and they have begun to selectively mine resource points. The best resource planet is basically controlled by the four giants, and below is the first-line guild. The chapters of Lao Russia and Lao Ao were bullied enough, and they no longer wanted to play on the same planet with the four giants and the first-tier guilds of Huaxia, so they chose some inferior planets to establish resource points and compete with the guilds of the second and third tiers of Huaxia.

In the past four months, the average level of players has increased a lot, among which Maple Moon has become the highest-level player at present because of the rich rewards of hidden tasks, reaching level 113, and there are still 7 levels left to reach the full level.

With Fengyue's deeds as an example, other players are crazy to find hidden missions, and some people really found them and handed them over to the camp, but unfortunately there is no second [Bold Explorer] skill fragment reward for the time being.

Han Xiao has not been idle for four months, and the experience penalty period of the evolution cube will last for seven or eight months, so he is not in a hurry to level up.

Every day, in addition to supervising the progress of exploration and brushing the forum, it is to soak in the mechanical workshop and constantly expand the scale of the mechanical corps.

Now that there are more than 10 million mechanical soldiers, the performance is very strong, and with his high-intensity mechanical power bonus at this time, such a mechanical army has the ability to destroy some relatively weak galaxy-level civilizations.

Among the five super-energy systems, the super-A-level powerhouses of the mechanical department have the greatest destructive power to civilization, and the other four systems pay more attention to personal power, and generally only the super-A-level mechanical system that masters the legion can provoke a large-scale interstellar war on its own.

In the bridge command room, Han Xiao was standing in front of the stereoscopic star map, staring at the communication channel, waiting for a special message.

Today is a special day, the task force led by Hardaway is about to complete the construction of the long-distance stargate passage, and he is waiting for news from Hardaway.

However, the news of Hardaway has not yet arrived, and the news of Tarrokov has come in advance.

Drip.

Han Xiao glanced at it and reluctantly answered the phone.

"Commander-in-Chief, what's the matter?"

"Something to inform you, we've found traces of stowaways."

"Stowaways?" Han Xiao's heart moved, "It is estimated that those forces who ignore the imperial announcement and want to enter the shining world in the blockade to get a piece of the pie." ”

In the previous life, this was an event during the version update, and players could only know it from the background introduction, without experiencing it personally, and when the player participated, the shining world had been officially opened, and the other forces had been allowed to enter, and the stowaways were basically a thing of the past.

In the records of the Empire, they started a protracted battle with the stowaways during the exploration, all kinds of chasing and fleeing, and the star field is too large and there are many unexplored areas, even the Empire cannot eradicate the stowaways, kill a batch, and after a while, a new batch will emerge.

Tarrokov nodded, "It should be some super star cluster-level civilization troops, you usually pay attention to it, if you find traces of stowaways, remember to report it to me, we need to find their secret star gates, and if necessary, we will also ask your troops to help." ”

"Okay."

As soon as the words fell, a new task popped up on the panel, and Han Xiao's gaze shifted slightly, and he glanced at it.

[You trigger the quest [Stowaway's Clue] (repeatable)!] ]

[Mission Description: The new star field is a treasure, all the forces that have the ability to get their hands on it, are not willing to watch the Red Empire enjoy this benefit alone, even if the shining world is nominally the territory of the Red Empire, it can't stop their ambitions, you are an ally of the empire, the smugglers are also violating your interests, and the empire needs your help]

[Requirements: Submit a valuable clue to the stowaway, kill a group of stowaways, and destroy the stowaway's secret gate]

[Reward: 200w~5000w experience, 50~700 empire contribution]

[Note: This quest belongs to the [Shining World] sub-quest]

This is a task that can be completed repeatedly, and every time you deal with a stowaway, you can get a reward, and the reward is okay, and the important thing that Han Xiao values is the contribution to the empire.

It's just that the stowaways are elusive, not so easy to find, and can only be left to chance. Moreover, these stowaways are not natives, if they establish a secret stargate, they will face a counterattack from a powerful fleet if they want to eradicate them.

Han Xiao only planned to provide clues, he didn't want to fight with the super star cluster level civilization casually, but the empire was not afraid of offending them, and it was suitable for such an errand.

"Among these stowaways, there should also be the Ethereal Spirit Sect......" Han Xiao muttered secretly.

Aesop prophesied that the Ethereal Cult would pose a danger to him in the Shining World, and he was concerned about it.

"If the Ethereal Spirit Sect wants to deal with me, it will definitely send a large amount of combat power, because it needs to hoard troops, and it shouldn't be possible to do it in a short time, but I still have to be vigilant recently." Han Xiao said secretly.

Sisko can locate himself, and the Ethereal Spirit Sect will definitely let him join, so paying attention to Sisko's whereabouts can indirectly know when the Ethereal Spirit Sect will make a move.

It's a pity that the observation mark he left on Sisko has been lifted, otherwise things would have been much easier. Although Sisko couldn't eliminate the observation mark by himself, he could detect being spied on, and when he first fought, he knew that the black star had done something to him, and it had been more than half a year, he couldn't have ignored it for so long, and he had already asked someone from the Ethereal Spirit Sect to help him erase the observation mark, and Austin was not the only super A-level magician.

Han Xiao told Tarrokov about his worries, and Tarrokov smiled slightly, as if he had expected it.

"The Empire has also considered this possibility, the Ethereal Spirit Sect may take advantage of you in the Shining World to snatch your evolution cube, so the Empire will closely monitor the movements of the Ethereal Spirit Sect's super A-rank...... In addition, His Excellency is preparing to send a second batch of men to the Shining World, including many Imperial allies, and will also send a direct Imperial Super A to accompany you and protect you temporarily. ”

Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and the second batch of allies ...... This group of competitors is finally coming.

For the sake of the evolution cube, the empire specially sent people to protect him closely, but Han Xiao knew that the empire wanted him not to run around with the evolution cube.

After getting that ownerless cosmic treasure, I'll go back to Lighthouse Star for a while...... Han Xiao thought to himself.

Since he knew that the enemy was likely to deal with him, Han Xiao decided to restrain himself, after all, the Void Spirit Sect was still very difficult to mess with.

To be on the safe side, it's much safer to stay in the Empire's outpost, Lighthouse, than to run around, and it's also sitting in the Shining World, still supporting the Legion and overseeing the Legion's exploration.

"Thank you for your attention." Thinking about other things in his heart, Han Xiao didn't forget to be polite.

"Haha, recently the Führer reviewed the progress of our exploration, and she is very satisfied with the results of your exploration, and specifically expressed her appreciation to you." Tarrokov laughed.

After chatting patiently for a while, Han Xiao hung up the communication.

It was then that Hardaway's news finally arrived.

After four months of waiting, the Stargate Passage has finally been erected!

"Well done!"

Han Xiao was overjoyed, with the passage, he could finally go and take away the ownerless cosmic treasure of the Shining World.

Hardaway's message also expressed his resentment, and he didn't talk to Han Xiao for four months, which made him very unhappy and wanted to return to Han Xiao immediately to be beaten. Han Xiao was in a happy mood and decided to wait for Hardaway to come back and beat him three times a day to exceed his requirements.

Han Xiao immediately gave an order to the main ship force, turned around, and headed in the direction of the Star Gate Passage.

The news quickly reached Senicol, and during this time, he was accustomed to the irregular way of action of the Black Star Headquarters, and he was no longer surprised, and he did not suspect him.
