The guardian took everyone to another city in an aircraft. In the center of the city was a tall building that reached the sky. Even in the steel city with many buildings, it stood out from the crowd, like a middle finger raised on the ground.
There is a apron protected by a transparent cover on the top floor. The cover slowly opened, and the aircraft landed here. There were many guards standing next to the passage from the apron to the interior of the building. Han Xiao and his party followed the guards through the passage and entered the top floor. The interior is beautifully decorated and luxurious, like a mansion.
A man was sitting on the sofa with his back facing the people who entered the door. He could only see the back of his head. On the wall facing him, there were virtual screens, all of which were surveillance images, which were exactly the scene of the battlefield.
"Look what you did on my planet."
The man didn't know what button to press, the sofa automatically turned in a circle, from facing away to facing the crowd. Only then did he see the person's appearance, and he seemed to have a strong aura. Han Xiao felt a little familiar, and suddenly remembered... He sees photo of this person.
A few days ago, he was still playing a game of cat and mouse with Aesop. Aesop made a request to steal some accessories. At that time, he asked Philip to go online to Baidu. The accessories were bought by the head of the Norios consortium. The wife, the man in front of him is the head of the consortium, called... What is it called
"Rockface, I am the owner of this planet." The man said calmly, "I know who you are, Gedora War Bureau Nagokin, Dragon Calm Guard Captain Weisander, Dragon Calm Field Force Commander Hei star."
Because it belongs to Dragon Calm in name, the Black Star Mercenary Group is regarded as a unit under Dragon Calm by default. Han Xiao doesn't care much about this. His mercenary group is temporarily bound to a transcendent faction, which is of great benefit to the growth of the mercenary group's reputation.
"After what happened, I also generally understand that I have no interest in intervening in the battle between Gedora and Dusky Star, but your actions have caused damage to my planet, and Gedora has no law enforcement power in my territory, So I need you to give me an explanation and ask for legal compensation, my people are counting the losses, and we will talk more carefully when the specific amount is determined."
Rockface did not give the two of them a chance to intervene, and he was firm and unquestionable.
"I will report to the headquarters, Gedora will compensate you for your losses, Black Star is just a mercenary I hired, their actions are my request, his compensation is borne by our Gedora, Gedora never I'll treat my friends badly."
Nagokin said that after killing Anur, he was in a very happy mood. This victory would also make the war bureau very happy. For officials of his level, their actions outside would inevitably cause damage, and the war bureau would wipe their butts. I didn't want to avoid compensation.
Because Rockface has a deep network of contacts and has a good relationship with many civilized political figures in Broken Starlink, Gedora is not willing to offend such a big capitalist.
"Don't worry, I didn't want to ask him for money." Rockface heard the words, looked at Han Xiao, laughed, his tone became a lot warmer, not so aggressive, "Say hello to Emersy for me. ."
Why don't we lose money? Han Xiao's favor suddenly increased, "Do you know Emersy?"
"Hahaha, who doesn't know Dragon Seat in Broken Starlink?" Rockface laughed, "I have a business cooperation with Dragon Calm, we are on one side, I heard that Aesop wants you to steal my things, but you put him Got it, haha, well done."
Han Xiao suddenly realized that Aesop and Rockface knew each other, no wonder there was such a prank.
He didn't think it was surprising. Aesop has lived for so many years, and he is also a legendary figure. I don't know how deep the network he has accumulated. He has friends all over the world, and people send papers wherever he shits.
Moreover, with Aesop’s ability, 80% of the people he met were powerful guys, forming a huge network of relationships. Now that Emersy has brought Aesop back, the Dragon Calm camp will benefit from it, and secretly influence I'm afraid it will double.
In fact, Rockface's enthusiasm is not entirely because of Aesop. He has always provided funds for Dragon Calm and rarely asks for return, which is equivalent to funding. Rockface is not the only consortium doing this. There are at least 20 consortiums that support Emersy. When Emersy built Dragon Calm, it issued an announcement asking for money, and countless consortia rushed to send it. Qian, to this day, many consortiums still maintain sponsorship relationships, otherwise, due to the terrible operating conditions of Dragon Calm, they cannot afford such high repair costs, fuel costs, maintenance costs, and so on.
Broken Starlink has four Transcendent A Grade powerhouses, each of which has many investment consortiums behind them. There will always be consortiums willing to invest in powerful individuals or forces, so many powerhouses don’t worry about money even if they don’t work. Many interstellar consortiums have already passed the stage of simply accumulating wealth. Unless money is turned into influence, relationships or actual items, money is just a series of numbers, and investment organizations, powerful people, and politicians are the way for these capitalists.
For example, Emersy is no longer looking for someone to ask for money, but someone else waving banknotes to give her money, and it depends on her mood.
As long as one becomes stronger, many problems will be solved, but at the same time, the problems involved in words and deeds will become more and more complicated.
In the later version, some big guilds are eligible to cooperate with the consortium to obtain funding and loans. The influence of players on Xinghai is deepening, and the ways of interaction are becoming more and more abundant. The impact on the regional pattern is dynamic, so the sense of substitution is very strong. Keep players motivated all the time.
"As soon as you came to Norios, I knew. I just met you now. You are more powerful than the rumors."
Rockface took the initiative to reach out, Han Xiao shook hands with him, smiled and did not speak, but a thought came to his mind.
The preliminary preparation plan for version 2.0 requires funds. If you want to accommodate thousands of players, the hardware facilities of the mercenary group need to be upgraded on a large scale, and these will cost money.
If you can find a gold owner like Emersy, the funds may become abundant.
Because Han Xiao was used to being alone in his previous life, he only knew a little about the cooperation between the guild and the NPC camp, but he had never tried it. All the funds in the plan had to be earned by himself, but at this time he had a new idea. , the influence of the faction may play a greater role than he thought.
For a long time, Han Xiao’s core business has been to earn players’ money to feed back to himself and his own faction, but can we add a new idea, while harvesting players’ wallets, and using players to make NPCs take the initiative to pay.
In a flash, a new idea emerged in his mind, and Han Xiao was immediately excited. This idea cannot be implemented now, but when 2.0 opens, it may be possible to greatly expand the benefits the player brings to him. Of course, the premise is to develop according to the plan.
"Lord Rockface, I actually have one thing I hope to ask you, and I hope to make another time to discuss it carefully." Han Xiao said.
Rockface nodded, "Okay, I'll give you my private number. We'll talk more after we've settled this matter."
…
Afterwards, a consensus was reached on the handling plan, and Gedora was responsible for the compensation. Rockface asked people to arrange an absolutely safe base for everyone to live in. Before the arrival of Gedora reinforcements, everyone must live here. .
Aroshia brought Owen to join the group. Owen escaped from death and was very relieved, and the teleportation mage left after receiving the payment. He did not want to have anything to do with this group of broom stars.
In the next few days, the impact of this storm began to ferment rapidly. Various interstellar news broadcasted the incident, and the headlines were more appalling than the other. Through the dissemination of these media, "Gedora and Dusky Star fought fiercely, a natural disaster grade strong The deeds of those who died in battle quickly spread widely.
The whole story was not revealed. The news broadcast was only a part of the process and results, but it also caused a sensation. Among the notorious Broken Starlink "evil forces" list, Dusky Star is not the most powerful organization, but It is the most radical. I don’t know how many civilizations in the Garton Galaxy were destroyed, and countless citizens were displaced, thus dragging down Gedora, but there was very little news of a head-on conflict, sneaking into the village, and don’t want to shoot.
This time, a powerful Dusky Star member died in front of everyone's eyes, and he was overjoyed.
With the spread of news, Han Xiao's reputation panel has been prompting the increase of popularity in the past few days. Like last time, the scope of promotion covers different star clusters. The Garton Galaxy, the popularity level is already [Famous].
In the impressions of most interstellar citizens, Emersy's strength is the only reason to maintain Dragon Calm, but most of the cadres under her command are of limited fame, and they are almost not active in the outside world, which is compared to the other three great super A Grades The bosses are far behind. They have strong soldiers and strong men like clouds, and Emersy is almost a bare commander, with two or three big cats and kittens.
The other three Transcendent A Grade powerhouses of Shattered Starlink, even without their leaders, are still a powerful organization that dominates one side, and Dragon Calm is far behind them.
The last time Emersy smashed the Dusky Star mothership, the public's attention was more on Emersy's strong performance and the fact that Black Star was a new member of Dragon Calm, but this time the news was made by Black Star. Yes, the strength shown is stronger than before, and many interstellar citizens and power organizations who pay attention to this matter have the same idea.
Emersy has also begun to have an independent cadre, oh my mother, it's not easy!
Gedora learned more details, Nagokin reported the specific situation, and the War Bureau Intelligence Department immediately increased the level of emphasis on Han Xiao. Counting the previous capture of the Dusky Star mothership, this is the second time Black Star has done it. The action to attack Dusky Star can be understood as a pro-Gedora faction, and the other party also helped Nagokin kill Anur, helping them a lot.
After fighting side by side this time, Nagokin attached great importance to Han Xiao.
In the past few days, Han Xiao has specialized in getting closer to Nagokin, which is why he accepted this quest. Getting to know Nagokin is equivalent to obtaining a channel to directly contact Gedora's upper-level route.
…
After waiting for a few days, the Gedora fleet arrived in Norios, and this incident finally ended. Nagokin took Owen to the dock, and Gedora's huge fleet stopped at the port.
Before leaving, Owen took the initiative to shake hands with Han Xiao and said, "You saved my life, I owe you a favor, and if you need my help one day, I will spare no effort."
Nagokin greeted Han Xiao with a nod, "It is a very pleasant experience to work with you. The War Bureau will pay the remuneration for this time. I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."
Han Xiao smiled, "Don't worry, we will meet again soon."
Nagokin was stunned for a while, thinking that Han Xiao was just being polite and said nothing. He took Owen to board the ship, the fleet rumbled, and soon disappeared into the universe as a streamer.
[[Nagokin's request] completed]
[You get 0 experience, 24000 Inal, Gedora faction relationship +850]
[Gedora Civilization: Respect (3190/6000)]
[Nagokin favor +30]
[Owen's favor +30]
"One action added nearly 2,000 points of goodwill to the faction, and Gedora's relationship has risen directly to respect, which is not bad."
After closing the panel prompt, Han Xiao put away his smile. Originally, Nagokin would be disabled, and Owen would not survive, but the fate of these two people was changed by him, and Dusky Star will pay more attention to himself, and he doesn’t know what will happen. reaction.
"Where are we going now?"
Melos spoke, and the cadres looked at Han Xiao.
Han Xiao touched his chin. Before the version update, he set two goals, one is to advance, and the advance has been completed. Now that he is finally free, it is time to start the second goal, which is version 2.0. Getting ready is a big project.
"I'm going to see Rockface first."
