Chapter 165 Harvesting

The time that Planet Aquamarine players had integrated into the Inar currency system was still short, and their financial resources were limited. The players who could buy equipment from Han Xiao could be considered local tyrants.

However, even if the average savings were small, 3 Inar could still be taken out. Many players did not have enough money to buy equipment, but they could definitely buy a "cheap" detector—this group of financially strained players was Han Xiao's target. It was like not being able to afford a thousand-dollar meal, but at least they could eat a few-dollar bowl of spicy hot pot, making more players pay.

Han Xiao gave out extremely generous rewards for the mission in order to arouse the players' speculative psychology, and then use the detectors to make a fortune. The principle was similar to that of lotteries and raffles. As early as when Nagokin introduced the detector, he had noticed the business opportunity. This simple logic was considered a basic operation.

Although he could provide mission props for free, allowing players to automatically receive the detector upon accepting the mission, why bother? The opportunity to make money was right in front of his face. If he didn't make a fortune, what difference would there be between him and a salted fish? If he didn't harvest a wave, Grand Technician Han would feel sorry for his integrity.

The mission reward would cost more than ten thousand Inar, but as the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep. As long as enough players accepted the [Locking the Source] mission, not only could he recover his costs, but he could even make dozens of times the profit!

3 Inar was not much, but the players were not clear. The cost of the detector was extremely low. As long as there was a blueprint, it could be made with conventional materials. This pricing was actually outrageously high. It was not a question of multiples. It was almost a no-cost profit! Grand Technician Han knew very well that this situation was inevitable. As long as he mastered the core technology and owned the intellectual property rights, making big money was easy. It relied on information asymmetry. On a larger scale, this principle of making money was also feasible at the national and civilization level.

Generally speaking, even if players could afford 3 Inar, they would not buy such a thing, because the cost performance was too low. However, the situation was different now. Due to the mission issued by Han Xiao, the Heteromorphy Primeval Detector, a "necessary mission item," was given extra value. Using 3 Inar to gamble for more than 10,000 Inar seemed very cost-effective.

Everyone knew that the chance was slim, but many people had a speculative mentality. Before they truly failed, everyone had a fluke, feeling that they would be the lucky one. Generally speaking, those with this fluke mentality were all Africans, while the real Europeans never cared about whether their luck was good or not…

Especially for players, betting only required a small price, and there was almost no risk of failure. In this case, the number of players who were willing to spend money was very large. Take a gamble, and a bicycle becomes a motorcycle.

Phillip processed the transfers at lightning speed, and one detector after another was handed to the players. Han Xiao looked at the personal account interface, and the deposit number rose rapidly.

Five million… five million two hundred thousand… five million four hundred thousand…

The rate of increase only slowed down when it reached five million four hundred thousand Inar.

"I sold about six hundred thousand, which means about two hundred thousand players bought it. Well, the detector inventory is almost sold out, but the detector process is simple, and the production line can ship goods at any time."

Giving a bait of more than ten thousand Inar in exchange for fifty to sixty times the profit. This windfall was so cool. After eating a piece of fat, Han Xiao felt comfortable all over. He could already pay off the loan, but of course, it was impossible to pay it off now. Money can make money.

Nearly one-fifth of the players chose to take a gamble. Not everyone likes gambling behavior. Most casual players did not join in the fun, but guilds would definitely not miss the opportunity. Various club guilds and ordinary guilds were the most active. Han Xiao liked this kind of player with ambition.

Han Xiao sent out more than a dozen spaceships under his command. The players who accepted the mission were transported to different areas of Planet Aquamarine. This number was only a drop in the bucket compared to the entire planet, but Phillip planned each person's search area, which was relatively far apart. Plus, the detector's range of two thousand meters meant that the search efficiency was not that low.

But luck still accounted for the majority.

Not only the players, but the six nations also sent troops to search for the Heteromorphy Primeval. They also received a batch of detectors, which were provided for free.

With a solution, whether it was Bennett, the six nations, or the Godoran, they could not wait to solve the Heteromorphy Disaster. As long as the Planet Aquamarine pilot project was successful, the Godoran could carry out the same action on more than a dozen other disaster planets, and the internal troubles could be greatly alleviated.

A wave of searching for the Heteromorphy Primeval was set off on the four continents of Planet Aquamarine. In addition to the land, the ocean was also a search area. The navies of the six nations were active on the sea, and the Godoran spaceships were not idle either, diving to search the deep sea. This was an area that ground troops could not reach, and the huge behemoths in the deep sea could not cause any harm to the spaceships.

All forces were mobilized to conduct a planet-level carpet search!

"I wonder how long it will take to find the Heteromorphy Primeval. It shouldn't make me wait too long…"

In the office of Black Star No. 2 Base, Han Xiao crossed his legs and looked at the Planet Aquamarine map projection displayed on the communicator on the wall. At this time, there were many more green dots on the map, representing each detector, still moving slowly.

He improved the detector. Once a detector locked the location of the Heteromorphy Primeval, it would automatically send the coordinates to him.

In the original plot, the players and the Godoran were the main force in dealing with the Heteromorphy Primeval.

However, in order to eliminate accidents and save time—

This time, Han Xiao decided—

—to do it himself!

…

"Damn it, what's wrong with the people on Planet Aquamarine? They suddenly launched a large-scale operation, as if they were looking for something. Could it be the Heteromorphy Primeval?"

Somewhere on Planet Aquamarine, the DarkStar lurking squad discovered the movements of the Planet Aquamarine forces through satellites and was shocked.

"That's probably possible. The planet is so big, how could they possibly find it."

"We can't rule out this possibility. Could it be that they made equipment to search for the Heteromorphy Primeval?"

"It's still unclear. Record it first."

"If the people on Planet Aquamarine continue their carpet search, they might find our hiding place. The outer space is full of Godoran fleets. We can't evacuate. The situation is very dangerous."

The lurking squad members fell silent. When they carried out this order, they knew that it was a near-death experience. They could only pray that the disguise would not be seen through. The exterior of their small spaceship was disguised as a rock, which had a certain degree of concealment.

Every disaster planet has a lurking squad like them monitoring the disaster situation.

"In short, report the situation to the higher-ups first."

The captain, who was the only one with a B-grade combat strength, said in a deep voice.

…

The report of the Planet Aquamarine lurking squad was transferred many times and entered the sight of the higher-ups. However, Dagulish and the head of the intelligence department only glanced at it roughly and put the information aside, not paying attention to it.

Searching for the Heteromorphy Primeval, this situation had happened more than once on other disaster planets. In Dagulish's view, it was just another futile action. This monitoring content was not important.

The Godoran's confidentiality work was very good. They did not reveal the information that they had developed an antidote. For a month, they maintained a critical situation, appearing exhausted and overwhelmed.

Therefore, DarkStar did not discover any abnormalities and was still kept in the dark.

Dagulish naturally could not see any problems from the Planet Aquamarine monitoring information. His attention was not on the disaster planets, but on another major event.

During this period of time, DarkStar was preparing for the next large-scale operation. Dagulish's energy was all focused on this.

The target of this attack was surprisingly Golden Gate Star!

Golden Gate Star was a first-tier colony planet, located near the Juberly Hub, and the Juberly Hub was a transfer station connecting various star clusters and galaxies, so Golden Gate Star was considered a bridgehead for the Godoran, with great strategic significance. Similarly, the defense was extremely strict.

This time, DarkStar's plan was not just to kill the people, but to destroy the entire planet and destroy the Godoran's strategic stronghold!

If there was no Golden Gate Star, the Godoran troops would spend more time traveling to various star clusters.

"As long as this operation is successful, we can severely damage the Godoran and cause greater panic!"

Dagulish's eyes showed a fierce light.

This attack was a very important part of the plan. The DarkStar leader allowed him to mobilize more than half of the organization's fleet!

It could be said that he had spent a lot of money!

Coincidentally, Black Star's base was also on Golden Gate Star. He had not attacked it before for the sake of the plan, but now that he had no concerns, he could destroy it along the way.

"Is this operation your full responsibility?" Next to the conference table, a guy whose upper body was hidden in the shadows asked, his tone indifferent.

Dagulish glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "That's right, including you, all members participating in the attack, regardless of their identity, must obey my orders."

The figure leaned forward, revealing his face from the shadows. It was Ashes, and his aura was even colder. After slaughtering tens of millions of people, he became taciturn and made people fearful.

In the Norylios incident, Dagulish had ridiculed Ashes, who had returned in defeat, but now, he did not want to provoke Ashes. Slaughtering tens of millions of people was a deterrent.

"Call me when the operation starts." Ashes nodded slowly, stood up, and left the conference room without looking back, ignoring that the meeting was not over yet.

Looking at Ashes' back, Dagulish frowned slightly. The other high-level officials participating in the meeting looked at each other with different expressions.

Since the Long Arc Massacre, Ashes had undergone a subtle change. He was more gloomy and unruly than before, and the higher-ups could no longer grasp his thoughts.

"Then the meeting is over. All the fleets are on their way. Three days later, attack Golden Gate Star!"

Dagulish withdrew his gaze, looked around at everyone, and said decisively.
