In the era of virtual online games, interactive experience is very important, and players believe that Galaxy does this particularly well. Communication with NPCs is very free, and players can freely compose text messages and emails, allowing them to communicate with NPCs remotely in this way.
Popular games in this era often incorporate realistic elements and function as virtual social spaces. The enduring classic game "Grand Theft Auto" excels in this aspect, allowing players to freely compose text messages even in single-player mode.
There's an interesting story behind this. With the rise of gaming pod technology in the evolution of home consoles, Rockstar, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, also followed the trend and ported Grand Theft Auto to the gaming pod console. At the time, the realism of virtual gaming technology combined with the brutal gameplay of Grand Theft Auto sparked a moral debate, and the legendary "NPC Protection Association" was actually established. It was quite bizarre, given how bored they were.
[The End of the One Clinging to Life] is Completed
There are five hidden requirements for the main quest; one of them will turn green to indicate completion.
[You have obtained [Sully-485 File], from which you learn about long-forgotten events.]
"This mission even has narration, awesome!" Han Xiao exclaimed in surprise.
[The archives record a long-ago operation plan, much of which is missing. Before the Old Era War, a vanquished nation dispatched a field team to a small town on the Andia Continent to carry out a secret mission. The details are unknown, but the result was that all the town's residents were shot dead.]
"That's it?" Han Xiao was baffled. This description was a clue for the mission, but it was too abrupt and incomplete. After thinking for a moment, he forwarded the content to Hannes. Those old guys had more clues and might be able to discover something else.
Han Xiao wanted was to complete the mission.
Hao Tian stood next to the quest giver named "Old Diwen," staring at his phone and waiting for Black Phantom's feedback.
This task is very complicated. Old Diwen keeps the files. First, you need to gain Old Diwen's trust and do a lot of errands. The difficulty is that Old Diwen is a mentally ill patient with more than a dozen mental symptoms such as paranoia, amnesia, Split Personality, irritability, and incoherent speech. He is very prone to over-excitation. He sees a trash can on the street and thinks it is a bomb, and he sees a passerby and thinks he is the enemy chasing him.
Old Diwen was once a participant in this plan. According to him, after completing the mission, he was hunted down by the state to be silenced. He was constantly on the run and lived in a state of tension for many years, which made him eccentric and caused him to suffer from various mental illnesses.
Do you know why wars broke out in the old days?
During casual conversation, Old Diwen would often cautiously glance around to make sure no one was watching before nervously saying, "It's all because of me that they're Pursuit me down. Every country wants to find me, so they've started fighting. There are enemies everywhere. And they haven't given up yet. See all those surveillance cameras in the city? They were all set up to find me."
Hao Tian naturally couldn't understand a single word, nor did he care about the plot. He just focused on completing the mission, and with his super efficiency and super strong kidneys, he finally completed it.
The phone received confirmation from Han Xiao, Hao Tian felt relieved to know that the mission was complete.
"You were the first to complete the task. I think you have great potential. Would you be interested in helping me out?"
"Okay," Hao Tian replied succinctly.
"Go wait for me at the border of Raylen, coordinates R1565.842. I'll take you with me when I leave North Continent."
"Good."
Thinking of the various benefits of the hidden plot of Black Phantom circulating on the forum, even Hao Tian, who was usually quite calm, felt a slight burning desire in his heart.
Having explored all the starting villages in the North Continent, Han Xiao's lucrative journey through the starting villages finally came to an end. Before leaving the North Continent, Han Xiao arrived at an ice field where high-level snow bears roamed. He spent several hours using the Ghost Gauss Sniping Rifle to unlock the [One Shot, One Kill] feat.
[One Shot, One Kill: The first shot fired at the target has a 12-25% chance to deal true damage. This effect will not be active on the same target for five minutes.]
Changing your attack target allows you to continuously try to trigger the feat's effect, which is quite practical. Although it's not as overpowered as Bennett's [Legendary Combat Technique] template feat, it's still a rare offensive feat.
I counted them, and I have a total of twelve specializations. This number is outstanding in version 1.0. If you are a level 55 player, having half of Han Xiao's specializations would be considered a lot.
Han Xiao recently acquired the [Call of the Wild] feat and tried it out. The level 50+ snow bear didn't respond at all and remained as ferocious as ever.
He switched to a lower-level target and found a bear cub that was very affectionate towards him. It was white, chubby, and furry, only reaching his waist, and was hugging his legs and swaying affectionately.
"This feat is still somewhat useful. The Baby Bear is only level 10-12. Call of the Wild must have some hidden elements. Besides being affected by Charisma, the level difference between me and the beast is also a reason. Hmm, it should also be related to the beast's habits."
Han Xiao pondered for a moment, then suddenly saw the fluffy little thing clinging to his leg, trying to climb up, treating him like a tree. Han Xiao, the master technician, squinted and kicked the Baby Bear away.
The chubby Baby Bear rolled around several times, then came running back to me. No matter how much I kicked it, it wouldn't leave; it was incredibly clingy.
Its furry bottom jiggled, looking rather silly, and its pair of small, dark eyes were full of good-natured honesty.
"Tsk, so damn cute." Han Xiao was charmed, his heart filled with affection. He lifted the bear's butt upside down for a closer look and exclaimed, "Oh, it's a female!"
The man and the bear stared at each other for a long time. Han Xiao stretched out his arm, Baby Bear cub laboriously moved its bottom, climbed onto Han Xiao's shoulder, and swung on a swing.
"You must have koala blood; I didn't expect you to be a hybrid." Han Xiao clicked his tongue in amazement, twisting his neck, causing the Baby Bear to sway as if it had an extra backpack.
"I'll just take it home and keep it as a pet," Han Xiao thought to himself.
Having a pet adds a touch of fun to life. With the addition of a pet, Han Xiao suddenly felt much more relaxed. No wonder people in big cities like to keep animals; they're practically stress relievers. When you're unhappy, teasing your pet can refresh you and help you rediscover the sense of superiority that comes with being part of the intelligent race.
This is a baby Clawed Ice Bear, only a few months old. Han Xiao was too lazy to name it, so he just called it Baby Bear.
With the Baby Bear, they flew to the Raylen border to pick up Hao Tian, and then immediately set off back to the Southern Continent.
On the plane, Hao Tian displayed the demeanor of a master, remaining silent and taciturn, neither asking where they were going nor initiating any interaction. Han Xiao, seeing that he had nothing to do, tossed him the task of taking care of Baby Bear. Hao Tian's expression immediately became quite interesting, his inner turmoil completely written on his face.
Because every detail in "Galaxy" is so realistic, especially the appearance and smell of excrement and urine...
It only takes half a day to fly from the North Continent to the Southern Continent. During the journey, Han Xiao received a call from Hannes, who said that Old Diwen's file had supplemented their clues. This was a crucial clue, and Han Xiao knew that it would affect the hidden main plot of the next link.
The gains in the North Continent were no less than those in the Western Continent. His experience and assets increased significantly, almost doubling. Every time Han Xiao saw the accumulated experience on the panel and the total assets in his Dark Net account, he felt a surge of happiness that overwhelmed his heart like a washing machine.
The plane landed in the Southern Continent, Antonov had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Han Xiao got off the plane, he saw Antonov's rough face.
"My friend, welcome back alive." Antonov laughed heartily, giving Han Xiao a bear hug; his strong odor almost made Han Xiao bleed.
"If you hug me any longer, I'll die." Han Xiao frowned and rubbed his nose; the smell lingered, assaulting his skull.
"You've only been gone for less than a month, and look what you've done?!" Antonov clicked his tongue in amazement. He remembered Han Xiao saying he wouldn't be reckless, but it seemed that Han Xiao's standard for not being reckless was completely different from his own, like comparing a mountain to a basin.
During this period, the deeds of Black Phantom have spread like wildfire, like a depth charge, forcing many forces to shift some of their attention from the war's trajectory to Black Phantom. Barring unforeseen circumstances, Black Phantom has become the top-ranked figure on most forces' threat lists.
On the Dark Net's assassin rankings, Black Phantom has officially climbed to the top, pushing all other assassins off the throne.
After exchanging a few words, Antonov spotted the Baby Bear, his eyes immediately lighting up as he ran over to rub and stroke them. Judging from their appearance, Han Xiao was not surprised at all that Antonov liked furry things; these two tufts of fur were probably closely related.
Stepping aside, Han Xiao dialed Bennett's number.
"I'm back."
Bennett breathed a sigh of relief, his tone tinged with resentment, "I've been waiting for you for so long."
Han Xiao cut to the chase, "What help do you need for the ' Sanctuary Plan ' you mentioned last time?"
Bennett was deeply moved. Han Xiao's first thought upon returning was to help. What do you call that? It's simply incredibly kind and helpful!
The world is going to the dogs; people who value sentiment like this are almost extinct.
This is a friend I can become close to!
Bennett decided to make Black Phantom a key figure in the plan, revealing details by saying, "Let's talk when we meet. I have a very important task for you."
Upon hearing this, Han Xiao knew there was hope and was secretly excited. He was very familiar with the main storyline of the [Sanctuary Plan] and knew how beneficial it was to become a core participant.
Recently, undercurrents have been surging in the Six Nations, and preparations for the Expeditionary War are nearing completion. It is estimated that the expedition will officially begin within this month. The enemy that Germinal will finally face the great calamity caused by Han Xiao. The flames of war are about to spread to Planet Aquamarine, and all over the world, wanderers, warlords, conglomerates, various secret organizations, and so on, all are extremely tense.
Starting the [Sanctuary Plan] main storyline at this juncture completely disrupts the order of the plot, but the benefits are obvious: under the threat of war, Bennett will spare no expense in investing resources in the project.
Players will also be drawn to the [Sanctuary] main storyline, which can divert the number of people participating in the Six Nations Germinal War main storyline. This is very beneficial to Han Xiao. The less influence the players have, the more the war outcome will favor the Six Nations.
