Chapter 11 Loot

Returning to the shelter, Han Xiao quietly locked Kerlodd in the secret base, then checked the spoils.

[Remarks: Godora crafted weapon, raw material is mithril, blessed with light magic, and also incorporates high-density material compression technology, blending retro charm with advanced technology, a hybrid creation of technology and magic, suitable for both melee and ranged combat, a common equipment of the Godora civilization.]

These golden spheres were assembly line products, standard equipment for investigators, not manufactured by Kerlodd himself. He was a standard interstellar warrior, a mech-wielding fighter. His panel showed basic knowledge, with low manufacturing ability.

The seven golden spheres were all hybrid creations of technology and magic. Their panel attack power was two to three times higher than ordinary gunpowder firearms, and with the bonus from the Mechanic class, the gap widened even further.

The standard equipment of advanced civilizations was roughly divided into two types: a version suitable for ordinary people and a version suitable for espers. Powerful individuals could withstand weapons with stronger recoil and exert the effects of their stamina. The version suitable for ordinary people was equivalent to grey quality + grunt template.

"Magic-based knowledge is incompatible with me. I can't reverse engineer the technology of these equipment. If it were a purely mechanical route, gunpowder firearms would be followed by stable electromagnetic kinetic energy firearms, with panel attributes roughly at this level."

Han Xiao nodded inwardly. The power of standard equipment was also an indirect reflection of a civilization's strength. Godora was a galactic civilization, belonging to a civilization level that was neither high nor low according to the standards of the entire Star Field, but in the eyes of the Aquamarine Star people, anything that could travel in the Star Field was an advanced civilization.

If players wanted to create mixed-technology equipment, they needed cooperation between different classes. The Mechanic class would create the foundation, and the magic class would provide blessings, with many details and restrictions.

This was Han Xiao's first batch of interstellar equipment. His favorite was the firearm that fired a beam of light, with a very fantastical name, called [Wrath of Garretan], a range of six hundred meters, and a panel attack power of an astonishing 500 points! It could temporarily replace the Gauss sniper rifle and become the best burst weapon to use in conjunction with Willpower Combustion.

However, the most important thing for a Mechanic was still the machinery they could manufacture themselves. This was their standard combat power. Han Xiao was well aware of this. These new weapons could only be used as a temporary measure.

Putting away the equipment, Han Xiao took out the interstellar communicator, his expression becoming serious. This was the key item.

At this moment, Kerlodd, who had been tossed into a corner, twitched his eyelids slightly and quietly opened his eyes. Seeing Han Xiao fiddling with the interstellar communicator, he watched coldly with a mocking expression.

Although he had become a prisoner, Kerlodd still retained his sense of superiority. He was certain that this Aquamarine Star native would not know how to operate the communicator. In his eyes, Han Xiao was like a monkey who had gotten a new and strange toy.

An idea floated into his mind, and Kerlodd perked up. "He doesn't know how to use these things, he'll definitely ask me how to operate it, maybe I can trick him into unknowingly helping me send a distress signal to headquarters..."

Kerlodd felt that this plan was increasingly feasible, secretly excited, and saw hope.

Just then, Han Xiao skillfully brought up the communicator's translucent crystal screen. Looking at the screen full of Godoran text, he immediately selected the option to change the language, turning it into Aquamarine Star language that he could understand. When the Godora people first contacted Aquamarine Star, they entered the Aquamarine Star language into the database. This was one of the necessary things to do when contacting a new civilization in order to parse the language and facilitate translation and communication.

The interstellar communicator was an essential tool for interstellar travel, and all players in his previous life had used it. Han Xiao was too familiar with how to operate it. He could use it with his eyes closed. He skillfully brought up the login interface of a personal account, turned his head to look at the bewildered Kerlodd, and casually said, "Kerlodd, right? It's good that you're awake. Tell me your personal account."

"How could you possibly use the communicator, and even know about personal accounts? Who are you?!" Kerlodd's eyes were full of disbelief, and he was incoherent. He was frightened. How could a native know these things!

There was only one explanation: this person was definitely not a native! He also came from the stars!

Thinking of this, Kerlodd's sense of superiority vanished, replaced by shock and uncertainty.

Originally, he intended to threaten with the name of Godora, but this only worked on natives. Interstellar people were not afraid of this kind of illusory threat. With distance limitations and peace treaties, using the civilization behind him to intimidate the other party was not a useful tactic in the universe, and he was just a small investigator, not a big shot.

"Who am I?" Han Xiao smirked and mysteriously said, "The meeting was rushed. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Han Xiao. As for the rest, you don't need to know."

Kerlodd was even more certain of his guess, feeling that Han Xiao was very mysterious. Meeting Han Xiao's gaze, he seemed to see an abyss-like mist. He suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "That's not right, how do you know my name?!"

Han Xiao slowly said, "You are a Godora investigator, ordered to come to Aquamarine Star to investigate the so-called 'Esper Incident', but for some reason, your ship crashed."

"Are you a mind reader or a precognitive?" Kerlodd looked alert, secretly mobilizing his stamina to guard his mind, but he didn't notice any signs of intrusion.

"Guess," Han Xiao said playfully.

This attitude made Kerlodd gnash his teeth with anger, but he had to lower his head under the eaves, suppressing his anger and asked, "Why did you attack me?"

Han Xiao pointed to the communicator, "Don't worry, this isn't a personal grudge, and I don't have any hostility towards Godora. All I want is this thing."

"This is what you call no hostility?" Kerlodd angrily tugged at the electromagnetically locked mechanical chains.

Han Xiao sat on the sofa, his hands resting on his knees, leaning forward, his eyes staring at the Godora person with a forceful aura, and said lightly, "If I had any hostility, you would already be dead."

Kerlodd's face stiffened, and he said sullenly, "You just think I still have some value."

"Correct answer, no reward," Han Xiao grinned.

"I just need the communicator to contact an interstellar travel group to leave this planet. We're not enemies. Your ship crashing has nothing to do with me. Attacking you was just to ensure everything was foolproof, and I'm well aware of the arrogance of the Godora people. It's better to beat you into submission before talking. Now, I have a deal I want to discuss with you, well… but you don't have any room to refuse."

Kerlodd gritted his teeth, "Speak!"

"I want to borrow the money in your personal account. If you're willing to cooperate, I can let you go and take you away with me. Then you can go home whenever you want."

Kerlodd was surprised, "You're willing to let me go?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" Han Xiao laughed and said, "I have no grievances with Godora, I only rob wealth, not lives. I haven't hurt you much, have I? Or are you resentful because you were defeated by me and want to take revenge on me?"

Kerlodd thought about it carefully. Indeed, Han Xiao's direct conflict with him was just a fight. He lost, but the other party didn't seriously hurt him and even gave him a chance to go home. Godora had an ancient tradition of worshiping the strong, and his job was an investigator, so fighting wasn't a big deal.

Although he was still a little depressed, Kerlodd's anger gradually subsided.

After thinking about it, he solemnly said, "As long as you fulfill the deal, I am willing to cooperate. I can make a promise to the god Gaul that I will never take revenge. I am convinced by my defeat."

Gaul was the religious deity of Godora, making this kind of promise was very solemn.
