The Sanctuary packed with people, including participants and spectators, making it more than ten times more lively than before. Players' booths stretched almost from the square all the way to the city gate, with people jostling shoulder to shoulder, creating a bustling and noisy atmosphere, a city-wide carnival.
Regional tournaments are a grand event for players worldwide; those who cannot attend in person can watch the forum broadcast.
With three days left until the opening, one day happens to be the scheduled time for Black Phantom to open chests. A large number of players are coming to the Sanctuary, not only to watch the battle live, but also because they are drawn by Han Xiao's reputation.
A group of shopaholics had already gathered at his usual spot, and one male player stood outside the crowd, tiptoeing to peer into the circle.
"They should be here soon," the male player muttered to himself.
The male player's ID was "Jingzhe," a level 20 newbie player in the Mechanic Class, and one of the inconspicuous casual spectators. In the chaotic Sanctuary at this time, he was basically no different from a human background, a nobody. He learned about Han Xiao's various functions from the forum, so he wanted to come and buy some low-level equipment, which was different from the purpose of the veteran players around him who were waiting to make a purchase.
Every now and then, these newbies appear, bringing a steady stream of benefits to Master Han.
After waiting a while, Han Xiao sped up in his truck, executed a stylish 270-degree drift, and came to a smooth stop. He clapped his hands, jumped out of the truck, and the players waiting nearby immediately swarmed forward, grabbing the boxes and crowding together.
The number of boxes was limited, and you couldn't buy them without a rush. Jingzhe was jostled and pushed around by the crowd.
After the boxes were all snapped up, the crowd dispersed. Jingzhe finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Han Xiao was still there, she immediately got up and ran over to him, expressing her desire to learn the skills. She was able to see the store list as she wished.
"So many machines, and it seems like they can even learn skills. This NPC has so many functions. I heard he used to be a main character in the story, and he seemed really awesome..." Jingzhe was a newbie who only started playing after finishing the main storyline of Germinal, and she only had a vague understanding of Han Xiao's past.
The items in the store were incredibly tempting. He scrolled to the bottom, Jingzhe's eyes suddenly widened.
"This is... Advanced Knowledge for Pugilist Class and Esper Class: [Energy Explosion] and [Second-Tier Gene Chain - Endurance Enhancement], both priced at 30,000 experience points." Jingzhe's mouth dropped open in astonishment.
Isn't Black Phantom a Mechanic Class instructor? How come he's selling Advanced Knowledge from the other two departments?
Unfortunately, I don't need it.
Jingzhe felt a little regretful, so he took a screenshot, casually posted it on the forum, and continued browsing other products. Little did he know that his post would cause such a huge uproar!
All the knowledgeable players were shocked!!
Jingzhe was unaware of the scarcity of Advanced Knowledge, but veteran players knew it all too well. You had to raise the faction relationship between the Six Nations to Revered before you could exchange for Advanced Knowledge, and almost no one could do that now. Yet Han Xiao just put it up for sale without any warning or conditions!
Only one sentence can describe veteran players' feelings towards Han Xiao:
This child is terrifyingly powerful!
After months of silence, Han Xiao's name is once again dominating the headlines!
Jingzhe was stunned; he hadn't expected that a casual screenshot and post would cause such a huge reaction.
However, what shocked him even more was yet to come. From afar, countless players rushed over upon hearing the news, forming an endless circle that surrounded Han Xiao in layers. After confirming the existence of the Advanced Knowledge of the two systems, the players in the entire square were in an uproar!
Black Phantom is as powerful as ever; he's a godsend for players!
Suddenly, a commotion broke out on the periphery of the crowd, and a passage was spontaneously made. One after another, renowned professional gamers walked in, including Li Ge, Hao Tian, Sun Eggplant, and others, all gathered together, a dazzling display of talent!
With the league about to open, the emergence of Advanced Knowledge is like a godsend for professional players, a timely help in their time of need. No one dares to fall behind, and they all rushed over. Dozens of renowned professional players are surrounding Han Xiao, which is quite impressive!
Few of the surrounding players had never been so close to their idols before, and they were so excited that they screamed and cheered, their voices soaring into the sky.
Jingzhe, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded. He had casually posted a message, which had attracted a bunch of professional experts. He was used to being a nobody and had never had such an experience before. He was so excited that he was trembling all over.
Led by these professional Advanced Knowledge, Han Xiao watched as his experience points skyrocketed on the panel, reaching millions per minute! He was overjoyed!
"It was worth hoarding Advanced Knowledge until now, what a huge profit!" Han Xiao was secretly delighted. He had anticipated the sensational nature of Advanced Knowledge long ago. In version 1.0, the prerequisites for obtaining Advanced Knowledge were very strict, making it difficult for players to acquire it. However, he was selling it directly without any prerequisites, which would surely shock all players.
His Advanced Knowledge both systems originated from the Germinal Host. Now that the Germinal has transformed into a butterfly, the Advanced Knowledge he possesses is unique to Scorpion Daddy on Planet Hailan (www. hetushu. com. com).
The Sanctuary has attracted hundreds of thousands of players. Excluding Mechanic Class, casual players, players with insufficient spending power, and players with insufficient potential points, even if only one tenth of them make a purchase, he will still make a fortune!
The price is set at 30,000, which is not high for players at the current level. Han Xiao is aiming for high volume and low profit. The participating players have already spent most of their experience points to improve their combat power and upgrade their skills. With only three days left before the competition, a price that is too high would alienate those who cannot afford to spend more money.
Han Xiao sold goods for several hours until the sun gradually set, at which point he finally ended his day's business.
Looking at the panel, I was astonished to find that I had earned 300 million experience points on the first day.
In four months, Han Xiao accumulated over 500 million experience points through various activities, which is more than a 50% increase!
"Players have a stronger demand for Advanced Knowledge. The first few days are extremely profitable, then profits will decline. However, like other skills, it can be a steady and long-term strategy."
Han Xiao opened the forum, Planet Aquamarine section was full of posts about Advanced Knowledge. Many people were analyzing why he, a Mechanic Class, would suddenly sell Advanced Knowledge of the other two majors.
This action even affected other planetary tectonic plates. Players in other regions were surprised and felt pressured. Since regions are in competition, the fact that Planet Aquamarine easily obtained Advanced Knowledge was very disadvantageous to other planets. It had a ripple effect and sparked widespread discussion among players across the entire planet.
Han Xiao is quite famous on Planet Aquamarine and occasionally makes guest appearances in the Galaxy Times, but most of his fame is limited to Planet Aquamarine. This time, his fame has spread to other planets, and players in other regions have begun to remember his name— Planet Aquamarine Legendary NPC, Planet Story Protagonist, Black Phantom, Han Xiao, Chest Opener!
In fact, each planet has its own main character, and the main character is indispensable when participating in the main storyline. However, Han Xiao is quite different from other main characters. He does not provide a series of main quests like other main characters, but his functions are outrageously rich. Players on Planet Aquamarine have received countless benefits from him.
He serves as the main character, Mechanic Class mentor, a rare item merchant, a daily prize pool quest giver, and a treasure chest enthusiast... His complex roles are unparalleled among NPCs. He holds a unique place in the hearts of Aquamarine players, as if they have weathered storms together, and the mere thought of him evokes a sense of resonance and trust!
