The bright starlight reflected on Sorokin's pupils through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor. He stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking up at the black velvet curtain dotted with diamonds in the sky.
"Grutan is cold..."
Thinking that a few days ago, he was still chatting with Gorutan in the palace of the ancestor of the beast, and now that the sound is Wan Wan, Sorokin couldn't help but observe three seconds of silence.
Although in this matter, he was more of a megaphone, but he also secretly held the idea of adding fuel to the flames of the situation. At this time, all plans were broken by Black Star, and he couldn't help but feel helpless.
"It's a pity I couldn't use Hela to provoke a conflict." Sorokin shook his head, "But it's not bad without a Gorutan."
Gorutan is a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium. On the one hand, Sorokin uses his shareholder position in exchange for shelter, and on the other hand, he consolidates the transaction with the interstellar black market through Gorutan's channel.
After so many years, Sorokin has already used Gorutan's channel to secretly infiltrate the interstellar black market. Even if Gorutan's channel is cut off now, it will not affect his business. It's just that he can't take the initiative to cross the river and demolish the bridge. Gorutan kicked away.
Now because of this incident, there is an indirect loss of a major shareholder, which also saves costs for Sorokin. Some of the business channels that had to be given to Gorutan before can be recovered and carried out normally. At the same time, It can also erode the main business and market of the beast ancestors.
"Well, the downfall of Gorutan is not a bad thing for me. Maybe the shareholder position he left behind can be used as a bargaining chip for the support of other interstellar black market patrons, so that I can become a new interstellar black market patron."
Sorokin narrowed his eyes, secretly calculating what benefits he could get from it.
Although he has cooperated with Gorutan, in Sorokin's eyes, business partners are not really his own. For him, they are just partners in different projects. Now, he wasn't really sad at all, instead he was happy that he lost a penny.
"However, the power of the Black Star burst form is indeed a bit amazing..."
Sorokin pondered to himself:
"After this incident, it is estimated that the Scarlet Empire will re-evaluate the relationship between the two parties. There is a 60% possibility that the dispute over the ownership of the Evolution Cube will be temporarily shelved, and instead, the right to sell totems will be opened to compensate Black Star, buy people's hearts, and show The intention to win over, uh... Then I can put down the deal with Guanghui, Void Spirit and the hardliners of the empire first, it is time to stop the business vision of Black Star Legion and take back the tentacles that stretched into Black Star's territory."
The Infinite Consortium has accepted different transactions from all parties before targeting Black Star Legion commercially. The core reason is the problem of evolutionary totems.
Guanghui and Voidling wanted to put pressure on the empire in all directions, forcing it to open the right to sell totems, so they wanted to use the attitude of Black Star to influence the empire. The purpose of the Empire's hardliners is to try to put pressure on Black Star, so that it has a tendency to turn in the Evolution Cube in exchange for other Cosmic Treasures... If the Empire opens the right to sell totems, these two problems will be solved easily, and the Infinite Consortium will naturally not continue to use it. Pressure is necessary.
Aside from the consideration of interests, Sorokin actually has plans to avoid the limelight.
Black Star made a record enough to be recorded in history, and it was the time to be proud. If the Infinite Consortium is too outrageous at this time, 80% of them will lead to more intense targeting from Black Star, so there is no harm in keeping a low profile.
Sorokin didn't want to tear his face. After all, Black Star is the leader of Glittering World. It's okay to have a little fight with each other. If they fall out, it won't be beautiful.
Black Star in the explosive form, even he has to deal with it seriously, he doesn't want to reveal his combat power and lose the camouflage of "weak" and "cooked".
"Well, there's this fellow traveler..."
Sorokin's eyes flickered.
"Better get rid of him."
…
"I didn't expect Black Star to get rid of Gorutan so decisively. It seems that there is a reason for my reminder..."
Somewhere in Glittering World's free competition zone, the secret master watched the news broadcast by the communicator, and wrinkles were squeezed out of his forehead full of colorful magic lines.
He and Gorutan have been the patrons of the interstellar black market for many years. They have had many open and secret battles with each other. They have a deep understanding of Gorutan's strength. Ask yourself, you are not an opponent, otherwise Gorutan will not be the shareholder of the Infinite Consortium.
At this time, seeing that Gorutan was terminated by Black Star, the secret master was surprised and fearful. At the same time, he also felt that he had lost his old opponent.
Of course, sentimentality is sentimental. If anyone wants to redeem Gorutan, he will be the first to kill them.
After a while, the secret master adjusted his mentality and thought about how to profit from it.
"The power left by the ancestor of the beast is a piece of fat, which is just divided up and used to strengthen my own power. Well, among his descendants, there are some talented guys who can be absorbed under his command and do things for me. … It would be interesting to take them to Black Star to visit the Gorutan specimen…”
Thinking of this, the secret master couldn't help but smile.
"Black Star has done something big this time, and it's best to keep in touch with him in the future... Black Star will lead the Transcendent A Grade united front, and I should pay more attention to this matter."
…
In the territory of the Scarlet Empire, somewhere in the Constellation Corridor, an imperial cruise ship is traveling leisurely.
On the observation deck in the cabin, an imperial male wearing a low-ranking non-commissioned officer uniform put his arms on the railing, holding a communicator, his eyes fixed, and he was grinning silly.
This man is sturdy and burly, looks unpretentious, and has a simple and honest temperament. The first impression he gives is that of a big-headed soldier. If you don't look at the special position mark on his uniform, it is difficult to think that this is a battle of a martial arts superpower. member.
At this time, several colleagues who were on daily patrol came over and caught a glimpse of this burly man, and someone shouted:
"Yo, Carotel, what are you looking at, smiling so brightly?"
"Ah, I'm watching the news."
Carrot turned his head and smiled.
This person is the Transcendent A Grade potential stock that Han Xiao has paid attention to, the peak of the empire in the previous life, the big muscle tyrant.
More than 20 years ago, he was still a teenager, studying at the Imperial Superpower Academy, and he didn't even wake up. Now 20 years have passed, he has changed from a young Hanhan to a middle-aged Hanhan, and his strength is worthy. Reaching the level, the growth rate is not fast, and it is quite satisfactory.
Because of Han Xiao's interference, his growth trajectory deviates from his previous life, but there is no change in general. After graduation, Carotel joined the imperial party and has been around for more than ten years. Pass.
At this time, several colleagues came over and saw the news about Han Xiao on the communicator screen, they couldn't help laughing.
"The news of Your Excellency Black Star? Ha, I guess it is."
A colleague winked and joked: "Oh, it's a pity, you know Black Star, but Black Star doesn't know you, the number one fan."
Carotel: "He knows me. When I was young, Your Excellency Black Star recruited me personally. He..."
Before the words were finished, several colleagues had already fallen back and forth with laughter.
"Hahaha, start again!"
"Keep blowing, don't stop."
"The legendary talent that Black Star personally recruited... Pfft, no, let me laugh a little longer!"
Seeing this, Carotel was not angry, scratched his head, but showed a helpless smile.
Since he came into contact with Han Xiao when he was a teenager, he has been paying attention to Han Xiao's news and gradually regarded him as his idol. Once a colleague asked him why, he said it, but no one believed him, making him a joke and bragging among his colleagues.
An ordinary low-level sergeant of the empire, will Black Star personally recruit
Who would believe it, it's just bragging.
Status depends on strength. Even if Han Xiao personally recruited him, after 20 years, Carrot's growth is not worthy of the word "talent". Colleagues don't believe his words, and he doesn't have to prove himself.
At the beginning, because of Black Star's attention, the academy had high hopes for him. Later, it was found that his qualifications were mediocre, so he gave up the key training, but Carrot did not have too complicated thoughts, nor was he in a hurry to prove his mentality, just not in a hurry. Exercise slowly and have fun.
Over the years, Carotel has occasionally wondered if Black Star was wrong at the beginning, but this skepticism will not trouble him.
The indifference and disappointment of others didn't have much impact on him, and he didn't think there was anything to be angry about.
If you are destined to be a mediocre person, then just embrace mediocrity, do your own thing, there is no need to force others to look up to you, this has always been Carotel's way of life.
Shaking his head helplessly, Carotel ignored his colleague who laughed at him, looked back at the communicator, and looked at Han Xiao, who was sharp-edged in the picture, he couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.
…
February 18, 730 in the Xinghai calendar, this is a day that will go down in history.
On this day, Black Star fought a rare battle in Glittering World. The original hunting action of Guanghui and Voidling against Hela is likely to become the fuse for the conflict between the three major civilizations, but Black Star Almost single-handedly, he suppressed the signs of this turmoil and caused a sensation in the entire universe!
Even this big news suppressed the limelight of the entire Glittering World, forming an effect similar to that of all horses, and even the competition was temporarily stopped, and the various forces in the free competition zone fell silent for a short time, watching the situation.
Countless interstellar citizens know that Black Star is the top powerhouse in the universe, but Han Xiao, as a "newcomer" who has only appeared for decades, has few deeds. In terms of prestige, he is famous with Manison and Kesuye for a long time. There is a gap between the old peak Transcendent A Grade.
And this news refreshed countless people's impressions of him again, his image became more tall and mysterious, and his prestige in the whole universe rose rapidly.
The incident that happened on this day was also dubbed by the outside world as the "Black Star Conferred God Battle", which suddenly surpassed all his previous records and became the most representative Transcendent A Grade deed in Han Xiao's resume. At the same time, it has also become the talk of countless people after dinner.
At the same time, the super-popular Wayne Card once again issued an announcement, stating that in the next revision, Black Star's character cards will be enhanced epicly, and a commemorative deck with the theme of "Black Star Conferred God Battle" will be released. , The posture of rubbing heat is very skilled.
The other neutral Transcendent A Grades were also surprised by Black Star's record. Thinking of the end of Gorutan's provocation, more people have firmed up the strategic policy of making friends and not making enemies...
Super A Grade, can you call it from the heart
Just when the **** affected the fermentation and countless people turned their attention to the Black Star Legion again, Han Xiao ignored the changes in the outside world. He went straight back to the Black Star Palace and publicly released a message to the outside world, saying that he was about to retreat and recuperate. a period of time.
…
Black Star Palace, Han Xiao did not chat with many cadres after returning, just simply said hello, and couldn’t wait to return to the exclusive private training place, closed the door, and locked himself inside.
Fording and Nilo were also among the cadres who greeted them, and Han Xiao had just played the two together.
At this moment in the room, with a fragrant European air in his hands, he opened the task list and took a deep breath:
"Tian Lingling, Earth Lingling, I hope to get something good."
After praying silently, Han Xiao settled down and clicked the "Settlement" option of the [Hella Rescue Battle] quest.
[[Hella Rescue Battle] has been completed! ]

Those people are mentioned together, even if the stars change and the seas change, your name will still be passed down and become one of the symbols of personal power! ]
"Sure enough, this legend is related to this aspect."
Han Xiao was not surprised, rubbed his hands, and looked at the next prompt with anticipation.
There are 4 unknown character cards in the reward. With so many strong players participating in the battle, he does not know which characters will be drawn.
If you draw a few bad guys, you obviously won't make any money. If you draw a group of fierce people, the chances of getting a powerful character card will greatly increase.
Taking a look at the prompt, Han Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a look of surprise.
