Chapter 42 Dark Web

After dealing with the rewards, Bennett, who had been pacing nearby, sat down as well and said in a deep voice, "A war of this scale won't happen again in the short term, but after the Six Nations recover, they may start to settle accounts with other forces and continue to consolidate their rule. After Germination's defeat, Dark Net is one of the largest remaining organizations. Sooner or later, they will deal with us."

Han Xiao put away his excitement and put on a contemplative expression. "Before gaining the power of discourse, everyone thinks they are good people. However, in the short term, the Six Nations still have to deal with the aftermath of the nuclear explosion and won't have time for anything else. Speaking of disasters, your shelter plan can come in handy."

Bennett sighed, "I'd rather it never come in handy... After the war, more external wanderers will seek shelter. I plan to accelerate the plan and build shelters in West Continent and North Continent as well. The refugees in Andea need to be transferred, and I will also send people to receive them. The Six Nations are very willing to throw this mess to us to deal with."

The two main storylines of Aquamarine Star, one is Germination, which has been destroyed by him, which is the main conflict. The second is the construction of shelters. Compared to the Germination War, the shelter storyline is less intense, and the entire Aquamarine Star will enter a stable period. It is expected that there will be no more large-scale conflict events in Version 1.0. His strength stands at the top of the planet, and he is also a hero in destroying Germination. He basically has no enemies and can develop steadily next.

The Germination storyline was supposed to be a major event running through Version 1.0, and players could show off their skills, but now it's gone in the early stages. In the future, there will only be minor disturbances. Players with a chaotic tendency naturally don't like peace, but it's a good thing for Han Xiao. He just obtained the dungeon generation rights for the Germination storyline, breaking the war down into individual dungeons to satisfy the players' never-ending desire for combat. This will attract more players to gather around him and continue to improve his status.

"With Germination destroyed, I have no enemies on Aquamarine Star. Next, I can concentrate on preparing to go to space. The opportunity to leave Aquamarine Star is during the professional league, almost a year later. This period is very stable, and I need to accumulate a lot of experience as a foundation. After all, there are not many players in space to interact with for the time being."

With the great enemy gone, Han Xiao felt a sense of relief as his tense nerves finally relaxed.

The public beta time for Version 1.0 is about three and a half years, and he can wait for more than a year. The current Six Nations are immersed in the joy of victory, unaware that a catastrophe is coming soon. It is estimated that the climate disaster caused by this nuclear explosion will strengthen the power of the mutated disasters. Han Xiao can only mourn for them.

In the next few days, Han Xiao attended the Dark Net's high-level meetings to discuss the future direction.

He was mainly there to make up the numbers, and basically didn't express any opinions. However, none of the high-level executives present dared to ignore him. As the current number one combat power of Dark Net and the biggest black hand in the destruction of Germination, Han Xiao's reputation and status had skyrocketed. The intelligence agencies of the Six Nations took the initiative to send commendations. With this achievement, Han Xiao would be well-received anywhere. If he returned to Star Dragon now, he would also receive corresponding treatment.

On the player forums, the end of this major storyline caused great attention. Various discussion threads flooded the boards. Players were participating in such a major event for the first time and were uncontrollably excited. There were also players who witnessed the nuclear explosion and posted recordings, causing exclamations. Han Xiao, the mastermind behind the scenes, couldn't be avoided for causing such a big scene. Players' imaginations ran wild, making up more bizarre little stories, which further increased Han Xiao's popularity.

With the war over, the Germination players lost their faction and had the opportunity to choose again. Together with the refugees, they evacuated Andea and could choose which continent to go to. Coincidentally, almost seventy percent of the former Germination players all unhesitatingly chose South Continent.

Black Phantom, we are coming!

The former Germination players were almost moved to tears. After suffering for so long, they could finally turn over a new leaf. Who could understand the bitterness they felt every time they saw players from other continents flaunting the benefits of Han Xiao.

Why didn't all the former Germination players come?

Well... A large part of the remaining thirty percent had participated in the Germination headquarters missions. Han Xiao's initial favorability was negative fifteen points. They were very desperate.

Trash Germination, give me back my future!

...

The helicopter landed at the Third Shelter. As soon as he got off the plane, Huang Yu greeted him, hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong?" Han Xiao noticed Huang Yu's hesitation.

Huang Yu coughed lightly. "Your Excellency, your family has come to visit you."

My family? Han Xiao was stunned for a moment before realizing it was the Opherlaimer family.

Thinking about it carefully, now that the war was over, he was an internal member of the Opherlaimer family who had been revealed to the outside world, and also the biggest name in the world. The Opherlaimer family was naturally very curious about his attitude and wanted to use this relationship to latch onto him.

Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him come to see me."

Ten minutes later, Xiao Quan followed Huang Yu step by step to the reception hall. He was the envoy sent by Opherlaimer to visit Han Xiao, one of Xiao Jin's adopted sons. In name, he was also the original brother of Han Xiao's body, considered a so-called "family member."

Xiao Quan was more outstanding among the adopted sons. This time, he was chosen as the envoy because he was more aware of the situation. When Han Xiao's true identity was revealed, many brothers in the family expressed disbelief. Some people thought that Xiao Han had become their elder, taking advantage of them, and were very angry. However, Xiao Quan did not dare to have such emotions. He was very clear about the current situation and could not measure the current "Xiao Han" with his past perspective. Every time he thought of the indignant appearance of the other brothers, Xiao Quan only felt that they were courting death.

Black Phantom alone far surpassed the entire Opherlaimer family, and he dared not be negligent.

Xiao Quan used his eloquence to strike up a conversation with Huang Yu, wanting to indirectly inquire about Han Xiao's attitude. Huang Yu carried out Han Xiao's attitude, following his example, and ignored Xiao Quan. Xiao Quan's mood could not help but become more tense.

"We're here, go in."

The door of the reception room opened, and Xiao Quan saw Han Xiao sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed at a glance, staring at him indifferently. Xiao Quan could not help but hold his breath, not daring to breathe loudly.

"Xiao... Xiao Han, long time no see." He greeted with a stiff face, wanting to ease the atmosphere.

"Call me Han Xiao," Han Xiao said lightly.

This was not a good sign. Xiao Quan was horrified and had no choice but to change his words.

"Are you the only one?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "What does Opherlaimer want from me?"

Xiao Quan hurriedly phrased his words carefully. "Han Xiao, the father has been thinking about you and wants to see you. He hopes you can go back. He can explain the unpleasant things that happened in the past."

Han Xiao did not speak, staring straight at Xiao Quan. Xiao Quan only felt that his eyes were full of oppression and could not help but lower his head. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Let me go over?" Han Xiao stood up, walked closer, as if he was about to attack. Xiao Quan was forced by his aura. Thinking of Han Xiao's various deeds, a burst of panic arose. He shrunk back like a quail, knocking over the chair. He lost his balance and fell to the ground, hurriedly trying to get up. Suddenly, a shadow enveloped him. Han Xiao stood with his hands in his pockets, bent over, and looked down at him condescendingly. His eyes were like needles, piercing Xiao Quan's heart, causing him to tremble. He knelt on the ground, not daring to move, looking up with a panicked expression.

"I think you haven't figured out the situation. If you want to see me, tell Xiao Jin and the others to roll over here themselves!"

Han Xiao's tone was indifferent. Suddenly, he reached out and touched Xiao Quan.

'It's over, he's going to kill me!'

Xiao Quan's face was full of horror, and his mind went blank.

His shoulder suddenly tightened, gripped by a palm, and a force of upward lifting came.

Xiao Quan was pulled up. Han Xiao patted him on the shoulder, as if he was dusting him off. "Convey my words back as they are."

Huang Yu, who was waiting on the side, then opened the door, reached out to lead, and said expressionlessly, "This way, please."

Xiao Quan came back to his senses, filled with lingering fear. He did not dare to stay any longer and left as if he were escaping.

Han Xiao sat back on the sofa, secretly pondering, "Opherlaimer's visit is nothing more than wanting to use the 'family' relationship to get my help. However, I can use them. If I let Opherlaimer migrate to the Third Shelter, there will be more NPC resources here..."

On the other side, after Xiao Quan left, he immediately reported Han Xiao's attitude to Xiao Jin, trembling with fear.

"He... He wants you to come in person."

Xiao Jin's face was uncertain, and he sighed, "This time, there will be a big loss..."

In the past, Han Xiao wore a mask, and both sides did not know each other's details, so there was still room for maneuver. But now that he revealed his true identity, it was equivalent to tearing off his face, and all the contradictions were placed on the table to be resolved. However, Opherlaimer was the weaker party and could only continue to make concessions.

Xiao Jin looked at Xiao Hai beside him and said in a deep voice, "Prepare yourself for how to apologize and make amends!"

After saying that, he slammed the door and left, leaving Xiao Hai with a panicked expression in the room.
