On the dock, more than 100,000 players dispersed in twos and threes, and the guidance mission issued by Han Xiao was over. Everyone decided to explore on their own at the headquarters of Black Star Legion to learn about the facilities here.
Players know that, if nothing else, in version 3.0, this planetary fortress should be their base camp.
The Black Star Legion headquarters is very large, and the more than 100,000 people do not seem crowded, and they are quickly dispersed and integrated into the normal members of the Black Star Legion.
Crazy Blade and Haotian acted together with a few well-connected professional players, followed by Meat Bun and Maple Moon. The group stopped and walked, observing the passing NPCs and discussing the main quest they had just obtained.
"The plot of the new version is very exciting. We actually have to experience a super-large interstellar war between two star cluster-level civilizations. I looked at the forum. The foreigners in other star fields did not get the main quest as soon as they entered the game like us, and they are still there. Explore." Crazy Blade asked curiously.
"This is not the first time, right? In every version, our Broken Starlink mainline appeared first, which should be a feature of our side." Flash Fried Rice shrugged.
"Indeed, we did the same in version 2.0. We learned about the mainline as soon as it went live. Other star domains are a few months to a year behind us." Haotian nodded.
"Looking at it like this, Black Star should be the main NPC in version 3.0 again. He has run through three versions in a row, and the three main lines are all related to him." Meat Bun said while pinching his chin.
"More than three versions..." Crazy Blade looked excited, "I saw him as an NPC character during the internal test. I didn't expect him to become so powerful later."
Meat Bun's eyes lit up, "Black Star has so many roles, I don't see any plot characters like him in other star fields, only Black Star is the NPC that must appear in each version, and it has continued for three versions, I think Black Star I'm afraid he is the protagonist of the entire Broken Starlink plot, the Son of Destiny on our side... Yes, this content is great, and my next video will definitely be popular again!"
Now Han Xiao is extremely popular among the Chinese player group, and the video just now also introduced his achievements in the past ten years. It was when the players were very interested, Meat Bun felt that he could get another wave of popularity, with "Broken Starlink" "Protagonist" is the starting point to make a new video for Black Star, which will definitely become a hot topic.
In the first two versions, players have experienced many exciting plots in Xinghai, and have seen all kinds of NPCs. Among them, many characters are also sought after by players, but so far, the most impressive NPCs by players are only Black Star. Even players in other star fields are familiar with his name. Currently, Han Xiao is the most famous NPC that players like to see.
The production of articles, videos, and fan content about Black Star is a business opportunity in the eyes of many players.
The "Black Star Series" video is Meat Bun's famous work, and it is still a must-have series for new entrants to this day. Since its serialization, many of the stalks created have been widely disseminated.
Because this series has brought a huge amount of popularity, Meat Bun is the one who spares no effort to shape the image of Han Xiao, but because of the huge business opportunities of Black Star, there are also other video producers who take a fancy to Han Xiao's popularity and follow the trend to produce various related Video of Black Star Legion.
However, meat buns seized the market as early as version 1.0 and are "authentic" in the eyes of players.
It can be said that players’ love for Black Star Legion is largely helped by the video of Meat Bun—everyone is a member of Black Star, watching the faction grow with their own efforts and was made into a TV series. The form has a strong sense of substitution.
Video producers like Meat Bun use the popularity of NPCs for profit, but in turn, they don’t know that Han Xiao is also using them, and they benefit a lot. No matter how strong an NPC is, it must be spread through various entertainment works. , so that more players can recognize and accept it and become a popular character.
The group echoed a few words, then returned to the topic and continued to talk about the main line of the new version, which is what professional players care about.
"In other words, with our strength, it shouldn't be able to affect the outcome of this level of interstellar war." Crazy Blade said.
Fengyue nodded and said seriously: "Yeah! I just checked, the agents of both sides of the secret war are the No. 0 agency headed by War Realm and Black Star Legion. The leader of War Realm is Heboar, who is Broken Starlink. One of the four Transcendent A Grades, the strength is higher than that of the natural disaster grade. Needless to say, the legion is huge, and the two sides are so powerful. The number of people participating in the war is probably in units of 100 million. Even if all players participate, I don't think they can fight the war. What an impact the results make...”
Haotian thoughtfully and analyzed: "In this way, the secret war is only the background of the new version, our main activity area should be in the small battlefield during the war, and our participation in the war itself must not be high. "
"I'm afraid it's another cutscene..." Flash Fried Rice smiled wryly.
"But it doesn't have to be..."
Crazy Blade rolled his eyes, saw everyone looking over, and explained: "You think, in the three versions, our level cap is constantly increasing, and the level of the plot has just experienced changes at the planet level, galaxy level, and star cluster level, and There is a stable system for the level of combat power between Xinghai. For example, C-level is the quality of basic space warriors, and B-level is the backbone. This system does not change due to version updates, and our rank continues to improve, which means that we are in the Xinghai. Its status and influence on Xinghai's plot has been growing with the version!
Now that the level is open to level 120, the first batch of players should all be able to reach level b. According to this theory, our importance in the new version must exceed the previous two versions, so I think that in version 3.0, we can Participate in the story of Xinghai to a greater extent, and there will definitely be new changes in the gameplay. "
Everyone tilted their heads and thought for a while, oh, this compulsion seems to make sense.
Meat Bun's eyes lit up, "Can I copy this analysis... Bah, can I quote it?"
"I can beg you to be yourself." Flash Fried Rice was speechless.
"By the way, although we have triggered the main line, how do we participate in the war, do we obey the arrangements of the legion, or accept the task ourselves?"
At this moment, Crazy Blade and others suddenly discovered that the surrounding Black Star Legion members suddenly gathered in one direction, and his communicator also vibrated. Philip issued a reminder to let all members of the headquarters go to the headquarters square. things to announce.
Crazy Blade and others mixed into the crowd and came to the square. At this time, there was a huge crowd, and other players came one after another, mixed in the crowd, and waited with the members of the Black Star Legion.
The ground in front of the crowd bulged and turned into a high platform, and virtual screens appeared in the sky above the square, broadcasting the pictures on the high platform, so that people in the distance could see clearly.
More than 20 high-level legion cadres appeared on the high platform, many of them were familiar faces, and the players below whispered.
"Ten years have passed, and the legion cadres of version 2.0 are still there. I feel comfortable."
"It seems that there are a lot of new cadres."
"Oh, is that beauty Silvia?"
"Oops, it's the feeling of a chicken moving!"
"I'm being polite, how about you?"
"Hmph, what about beautiful women, I'm a scholar... The Dragon Zodiac Licking Friends Club will never be a slave!"
"The laws of history tell us that we have nothing left when we lick to the end."
Seeing the familiar NPCs from the previous version, many players are very pleased and habitually throw reconnaissance at the cadres above. Except for the names of the cadres, everything else is a question mark.
Until now, the player has had a personal experience of the current power of the Black Star Legion, and the impression is much more intuitive.
hum!
The space in the center of the high platform fluctuated, a figure appeared out of thin air, and came out of the void, it was Han Xiao.
The more than 100,000 players present saw with their own eyes Han Xiao ten years later, still in a familiar and friendly outfit, taller and calmer.
Crazy Blade and his party found that among the surrounding Black Star Legion members, many people had expressions of admiration on their faces.
From this detail, the group became more aware of the leader Han Xiao’s position in the hearts of his subordinates. Meat Bun turned on the camera function and took a frenzy to collect materials.
Including the players, countless people in the square stared at him, Han Xiao cleared his throat, and the voice spread through the square through the machine.
"After half a month, we will cooperate with the No. 0 organization to launch a large-scale counterattack against the war realm. At that time, a large number of people will be recruited to participate in the war. Except for the soldiers who have been recruited, the legion accepts other members' active participation in the war. In addition to the remuneration paid by Crystal Civilization, the legion will provide additional subsidies for the participants. The specific amount depends on the responsibilities. For details, please check the announcement of the internal system of the legion…”
As a mercenary group, you only need to share the employer’s rewards with your subordinate members. At this time, the Black Star Legion has completed its transformation and become a private armed organization. It needs to pay wages to its regular members, which is equivalent to raising an army, and participating in war is a risk. Extremely high jobs, with additional subsidies, wars are all about money.
Fortunately, the Black Star Legion is not what it used to be. There are money-making channels such as mining resource planets, consortium funding, selling goods, hiring business, and resource support from Amethyst Civilization. The assets can afford the current scale.
Crazy Blade suddenly said, "It turns out that I participated in the war in this way, and I have to apply in the legion."
"Only participating in the war can improve the evaluation of the main task, but we can choose to paddle. It turns out that it is not a compulsory plot task, and it is still free."
The players discussed with great interest, and the square became noisy.
At this time, Han Xiao looked around, smiled secretly, and continued:
"All the combatants will enjoy a 50% discount when purchasing various products produced by the legion. After half a month, the combatants will gather at the headquarters and take the fleet to the battlefield. If you have any questions, you can ask the sub-intelligence of the legion program."
The crowd was stunned.
