A transport spacecraft slowly landed and stopped at the headquarters airport.
More than 700,000 Constellation Corridor players stepped on the ground of the headquarters, and millions of Legion players came over to watch. From the airport terminal to the lobby, it was packed full of people. The loss is that the satellite base of the Legion Headquarters is large enough to hold a lot of people. billions of members.
This is the first time that players from different star domains outside the professional arena have met. Whether it is a Chinese player, or a player from Russia or Australia, they are all international friends in each other's eyes. When they meet for the first time, they inevitably look at each other.
Comparing each other, you can see the obvious difference on both sides.
More than 700,000 Constellation Corridor players, the equipment styles on their bodies are uneven, colorful, and they look quite messy.
On the side of millions of legion players, the armor and weapons on their bodies are basically black and silver. Although there are many styles, they are not as complex as more than 700,000 foreign players. Most legion players know how to do it. In actual experience, I basically use several legion combat armors that are recognized as having the best performance. It looks like a sophisticated army, giving people a neat feeling, and the differences in personal equipment are not so obvious. And all kinds of equipment are engraved with the emblem of the Black Star Legion, which looks like the difference between the real army and the miscellaneous army.
After disembarking, some of the more than 700,000 newcomers took the initiative to say hello and communicated with each other. Some people curiously observed the headquarters and went to various functional areas. Some people went to interact with the NPC members of the legion. .
Ordinary players have their own way of doing things. The spirits vodka and the captain Henry took several Russian and Australian guild cadres respectively to find the presidents of the Chinese guild.
In the guild resident rented by the Black Star Legion headquarters, Sky Domain President Bikong Youyou and Qiangu Yichao President Chaoxue Mushuang represented the two giant guilds and received several large guild cadres from Russia.
"Friends of Huaxia, it's a pleasure to meet you, I am the vice president of Strength and Glory, Spirits Vodka."
The spirits vodka and several companions introduced themselves.
"It's a great pleasure to have a friend from afar." Bikong said with a leisurely smile, and the translation function conveyed his meaning to the spirits, vodka and others.
After a few small chats, the spirits vodka started talking about business.
"The people above asked us to run a branch across the stars. Some time ago, the clubs on both sides of us have negotiated. The people above said that you two giants will give us some help in the early stage..."
Chaoxue Mushuang chuckled, "Yes, take the liberty to ask how many guild members you brought over to run the branch."
Spirits Vodka: "I brought 12 guild backbones, 150 regular members, and 1,200 peripheral members here."
The representatives of several other guilds also said it again, all of which were around 1,000 people. The official guild of a large professional club, the backbone members and formal members are serious occupations, and they play games with salary. As for the peripheral players, some of them are volunteers, and some are studios, and they can also get bonuses from the club.
"Thousands of you are running a branch union here. It's the 筚lulanlui. Everything has to start from scratch. You need money to buy various tools, props, and vehicles. The same is true for repairing, strengthening, and updating equipment, as well as building a guild station. The travel expenses, etc. to go out to do the task are all expenses, and you also need to find channels such as experience, materials, and money that can stably generate income, and the sooner you can turn losses into profits, the better, right."
Spirits Vodka and the others nodded again and again. For them, running a guild is a job, and it comes with a task. The branch is well-run, and it is a performance for them.
Chaoxue Mushuang and Bikong looked at each other quietly, smiled slightly, and said slowly:
"Some time ago, we finished the main quest [Secret War] of the Black Star Legion, and many people got the title of [Secret Conqueror] for the internal meritorious service of the legion. With this honor, all consumption within the legion can be discounted by 10%, of course, You are not treated like that."
Only legion players who participated in the secret war have such benefits. This is an out-of-print title released by Han Xiao. Players who joined later have no chance to get this thing.
These cross-star guilds have figured out this situation early through the forum, and it is impossible to say that they are not envious.
"what do you mean… "
"Yes, we can provide you with discount channels. We buy legion products at 10% off, and you buy from both of us at 30% off. We have enough funds and contributions to meet your bulk purchase needs... Of course, you You can also find ordinary players and give money to others to help them buy it, but there is always the risk of being defrauded.”
The spirits vodka was noncommittal. Dynasty and Changkong made it clear that to make the difference, as the manager of the branch, he must be careful.
Compared with purchasing materials from the Huaxia Club, he prefers to find reliable ordinary Huaxia players to cooperate, borrowing permissions to buy at a 10% discount, and at most regularly sharing some resources to cooperative players, which is more cost-effective than a 30% discount.
However, Chaoxue Mushuang saw through the thoughts of several representatives of the Russian Grand Guild, and smiled lightly, "If you purchase from us, we will help you in other areas."
"which aspect?"
"For example, some high-quality mission resources, some hidden intelligence of NP, if you accept some difficult missions, we can provide manpower to help, and... We can guarantee your safety."
"Safe?" Spirits Vodka's face changed, "What do you mean?"
Chaoxue Mushuang: "Broken Starlink is a site that our Huaxia Club started operating several versions ago. Dozens of large guilds and countless small and medium-sized guilds have divided up many high-quality resources here. As outsiders, you came here rashly. Going to our site to run a branch, I do not guarantee that other guilds will not have disputes with you, but you are only a branch from afar, with limited manpower, if you start a guild war, you will be very disadvantaged."
One of the business goals of the club guild is to provide resource support for the professional players of the club team, and the big guilds of various countries are each other's biggest competitors. The clubs here in China cannot sit by and watch other professional clubs operate safely and steadily on their sites. In the branch, the high-level executives issued an order for the guilds to find ways to curb the development of competitors.
Even if these clubs from other countries are rich and powerful, if someone keeps sabotaging their missions, robbing them of their resource points, chasing and killing their members, and making them run into walls everywhere, they will not be able to develop, they will always be in a state of loss, and they will not become a climate.
Chaoxue Mushuang's remarks are to remind the spirits, vodka and others that if you don't pay some "protection fee", some of the first- and second-tier clubs below will find trouble with you.
Of course, the Huaxia Club is not too much. After all, players from all over the world are staring at the first batch of cross-star regions at this time. As the master, it is not good to bully a group of outsiders who have no foundation. Even if they are competitors, they have to take into account the recent attention, and do not want the Huaxia professional circle to leave a bad impression on other countries, so they still give a little discount to pretend that the foreign clubs are not at a loss on the surface.
Ordinary players will naturally not be targeted, but clubs in various countries are first and foremost business groups. In order to operate better, they need to rely on the honor of professional players. While making money, they also shoulder the expectations of players. Professional players compete on the field, while These official guilds also had to compete in the game. If the Huaxia Club goes to another star region to open a branch, the situation will be the same, and it will be restricted everywhere.
Spirits Vodka and the others looked at each other in dismay, but reluctantly responded, but they did not give in so easily, and secretly decided to find opportunities to cooperate with ordinary players in the future, hide from the Huaxia Club, and pay less protection fees.
On the other side, the guild residence of the Temple Club.
The guild presidents of the other two wealthy clubs, Jupiter and Altair, are meeting with the Kangaroo Boxing Branch captain Captain Henry and other representatives of the Australian guild, and the discussion is exactly the same as that of Sky and Dynasty...
The four giants have long since reached a united front in private. Compared to their plan, this protection fee is just a petty profit.
…
For more than 700,000 newcomers, the Legion headquarters is the new main city.
When they were familiar with the environment, Han Xiao returned to the office of the legion commander, and the cadres who stayed at the headquarters for two months were waiting to report the situation to him.
Han Xiao leaned on the chair, looked at the cadres of Silvia, Melos, and Leonard at the table, and raised his chin.
"What happened to the Legion during my absence?"
Silvia stepped forward, "During this time, we digested the gains of the last expansion, and have successfully connected with the business channels of many allies of Broken Starlink. Now Black Star Legion's business scope covers more than a dozen industry fields, forming a A complete trade system, intelligence system, transportation system, etc.”
Leonard said solemnly: "The logistics department has added 126 mechanical workshops and factories in various places, and is stepping up the manufacture of more satellite bases. According to the blueprint of the legion, we will continue to put more points in the seven star clusters. Ministry, expand our sphere of influence."
Melos nodded, "Because the number of members has increased, the scale of forces has expanded, and the legion fleet is also expanding, and there is a backlog of work in the logistics department, so we have placed orders with the cooperative consortium and civilization, and batches of brand-new warships are produced every day. out."
Han Xiao nodded, this is what he ordered before leaving, and asked: "Apart from these, is there any other situation."
Silvia was a little embarrassed, "This... our funds are not enough... "
Han Xiao stared, "With so many businesses, there are also many resource planet mining rights shared by civilization, how can there be a shortage of money?"
"The cost of expansion is too high. The maintenance cost of the legion is extremely high today. The logistics department is working at full capacity to increase production. The consumption of funds is terrifying. The planet's earnings period has been extended, causing our cash flow to be a little tight..."
"You didn't find people from Scarlet Empire and Amethyst Civilization, do you want them to allocate funds? I didn't say that you can find them if you are short of money for normal operations." Han Xiao was surprised.
"I asked..." Silvia was helpless, "They didn't refuse, they just said that they would lend money when you said it in person, and they only recognized your face."
"Okay, I'll contact them later." The corner of Han Xiao's mouth twitched, these two only recognized him as an ally, there was no way, although the legion was large, the real core was still himself.
"One more thing, you asked me to assemble the troops to develop Glittering World. I have already prepared, divided into many fleets, and are on standby at various sub-bases in Colton, ready to set off at any time, just waiting for your order." Silvi Ya Road.
"Yes, it is estimated that Suy will urge me to set off at this time, without delay."
Han Xiao stared at Silvia with admiration.
The three reported some details again, and after talking about the business, seeing that Han Xiao had no other orders, they all relaxed and chatted.
"Why didn't I see Lackey, I came back, and one of his deputy team leaders didn't come to see me, what is he busy with every day?" Han Xiao was curious.
"Oh, he is busy every day, either playing cards or sleeping!"
Silvia got angry when she mentioned Lackey, and then turned her head and glared at Melos, "And you, he pulls you to play cards every day, and you don't refuse?!"
"The fun of being a poker player, you know shit." Melos hummed.
"Don't play cards in front of me." Han Xiao said angrily: "I ask you, how did Lackey teach Tomar?"
Tomar is the protagonist who was dug back by him, and Han Xiao did not forget it.
"I heard that you learn quickly."
Han Xiao nodded, looked at Leonard again, and said with anticipation, "What about my son? Does he show any special mechanical talent?"
"Uh... No." Leonard said honestly, "But he also learns very quickly and has talent in the way of machinery."
Alas, I don't know if this move can steal the [Perfect Tool Sense]... Han Xiao waved his hand helplessly.
"I'll take him out for a walk in a few days, you go out first."
The three nodded and left the room, Han Xiao took out the communicator, contacted Amethyst Civilization and Scarlet Empire, and successfully let the two loan money.
Sui also reminded by the way that the Scarlet Empire has already raised the development force, and Han Xiao will lead his people to the Dawn Star Cluster in Glittering World in the near future to join the imperial troops. At that time, he will officially start exploring the Glittering World.
After dealing with the backlog of chores, Han Xiao observed the actions of more than 700,000 new players at the Legion headquarters.
These players from the Constellation Corridor are still familiar with the map of the headquarters. He discovered a phenomenon. Although these more than 700,000 people have crossed the star field, they are still used to posting on the original Constellation Corridor section on the forum.
Although the players on both sides communicated a lot on the forum, in the Legion headquarters, only a small number of players interacted with each other. Although they have all become members of the legion, there are still obvious differences between the players in the two star fields.
"This can't be done..." Seeing this, Han Xiao couldn't help shaking his head.
It's like a blind date. When you meet on both sides, you don't talk, I don't talk, just sit and stare. How can you do this
After thinking about it, he quickly wrote two faction quests, and released them to all legion players through the faction panel. Only players can receive:
"Hehehe..." Looking at the two tasks released, Han Xiao thief laughed.
Operating three versions of the legion, the contribution of the legion has already become a key resource that is no less important than Inar, and no one is too much.
He didn't want the players in the two star fields to form different groups. Those clubs and guilds were business competitions. There was no way, but ordinary players were different, and there were not so many interest factors. Internationalization has been advocated for many years. Now that he has come to his base camp, it is a nest of leeks. He needs these newcomers and old people to have a large-scale interaction and play together.
Social attributes are an extremely critical part of the player experience!
Since the players on both sides are so reserved and do not take the initiative to communicate with international friends, Han Xiao seduces them to socialize, and the fire of dry wood will ignite.
In this way, it is beneficial for Constellation Corridor players to integrate into the Legion system. Not only can they get used to the new environment earlier, but they can also slowly remove the label of "Constellation Corridor" on these people, so that their mentality can be changed to "Legion Players".
In this way, the interpersonal relationship between players will become another reason for them to stay in the legion, using players to "attract" players, and in disguise to strengthen the attraction and identity of the faction!
Han Xiao suddenly patted his forehead and his face became strange.
"Why does it feel like pimping..."
