Han Xiao raised an eyebrow. "This theory has been proven?"
No, not at all.
Kerlodd flicked his braid. "Simply believing in the existence of some creator or great being, similar arguments involving theology inevitably lead to the Arcane Church, one of the three great cosmic civilizations. Their system is primarily spiritual and mystical, believing in the existence of an indescribable great entity. This is the source of their faith and power..."
"Stop, I know what kind of people the Arcane Church is." Han Xiao interrupted.
"Okay, where were we... Oh, the theories are all different, but they have all given rise to countless technologies and applications. So these theories and knowledge systems are just tools for understanding the world. Tools can be easy or difficult to use. The right tool does the right job. There is no universal tool, which means there is no theory that applies to all phenomena. Every 'tool' yields different results."
Our foundational theory in Goddora holds that all particles are magical factors. Our history began with magic, but as we progressed, we discovered that technology was also valuable, so we began to study it as well. For us, both systems are merely tools to help us study the world.
Han Xiao frowned. "You know quite a lot."
"Haha, I'm a trained investigator after all. I've heard other races boast about it on various space stations, so I know a little bit about all sorts of things."
Kerlodd grinned. "In short, unsolved mysteries are collectively called Cosmic Wonder, and there's a very small chance that the Inhuman are one of them."
Cosmic Wonder...
Han Xiao secretly remembered it.
At that moment, a deafening roar of cheers erupted from the direction of the arena.
Han Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He opened the forum, where a sensational scene was playing. The audience cheered and applauded like a tidal wave. The final battle had concluded, and the champion had been born!
In the team competition, Dynasty narrowly secured the regional championship, with Long Sky taking second place and Temple third. The three powerhouse teams showed no signs of decline, sweeping the top three spots. Other renowned clubs that made it to the quarterfinals also delivered impressive performances. In the individual competition, Kings and Generals emerged victorious, securing a tie for the Dynasty and bringing them Infinite glory. Dynasty's reputation soared to unprecedented heights.
Frenzied Saber defeated another top-four player to win the third place. He was a newcomer and was hailed as the biggest dark horse of this league.
The top three teams and individuals from the Planet Aquamarine region have been determined, all of whom have received invitations to the international regular season. All three teams are from Huaxia clubs, and countless players are eagerly anticipating the Huaxia powerhouses competing against other regions and achieving great results in international events. The atmosphere on the forum is extremely enthusiastic, almost like a festive celebration, with the Dynasty being the most favored team.
With the regional finals concluded and a year's in-game preparation period before the international regular season, the league has come to an end, but the players' excitement has not yet subsided.
Countless posts analyzed opponents from other regions and offered serious advice and encouragement to their own teams. Clubs that achieved good results also held press conferences to promote their achievements, creating a lively atmosphere.
"Finally finished, those professional players can finally relax." Han Xiao's eyes gleamed, ready to implement his plan to take the players away.
Sanctuary Plaza.
Players coming and going were still immersed in the excitement of the league's conclusion, discussing their respective idols. Occasionally, professional players would appear to boost their popularity, attracting onlookers from time to time.
Of course, there was also a group of African guys who firmly believed in their European Bloodline. They would wait at the spot where Han Xiao usually appeared, eagerly awaiting the new batch of boxes.
"They're here, they're here!" The guys craned their necks.
The truck approached from afar. Han Xiao parked and got out. Unlike usual, he didn't sell boxes. He looked around and suddenly announced loudly, "I have a difficult mission that requires help. Select qualified members to accompany me on an adventure. If you are confident enough, you can take my test. Only those who pass will be qualified to become my teammates."
Immediately, Han Xiao released the task he had already prepared.
[[Team Member Selection]]
[Mission Introduction: Han Xiao is about to secretly leave Planet Aquamarine for a new adventure. He needs to select strong members as teammates. Successful candidates can accompany him to interstellar space.]
[Quest Acceptance Requirements: Lv60]
[Task duration: 5 days]
[Requirement: Pass Han Xiao's practical test]
[Reward: 1 experience point, qualification to follow Han Xiao]
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
The players' eyes widened, and an uproar ensued.
"This is so sudden! We can leave the newbie planet?!"
"I have to be at the maximum level to accept this quest! How annoying!"
To this day, all players' activities are limited to the beginner planet; no one has ever ventured into interstellar space. Han Xiao's announcement immediately caused a sensation. These guys rushed to post on the forum to boast, causing a stir throughout the entire Planet Aquamarine section, and even players from other planets flocked to see the posts.
The forum erupted in exclamations!
The players' attention was abruptly pulled away from the lingering excitement of the professional league by Han Xiao, and all of it was shifted to this astonishing mission.
StarCraft is a mysterious place for all players, full of curiosity and anticipation. They are trapped on planets and can only get a glimpse of the whole picture. Now, however, there is an opportunity to get a sneak peek at StarCraft, which will not be available in later versions. Players were initially shocked, and then their hearts were filled with excitement.
This is an opportunity!
If you can follow Han Xiao, you can enter the starry sky environment earlier than most people, which is definitely a huge advantage.
Such a significant mission was casually revealed by Han Xiao, like a thunderclap out of nowhere. Players noticed that Han Xiao's words were evasive, deliberately concealing the specifics of his actions. However, the mission description revealed that he was going to interstellar space, which gave players a sense of smug satisfaction, as they assumed that even if Han Xiao didn't say it, the mission would Han Xiao describe his secret plans.
Han Xiao did this deliberately, just to let the news circulate among the players and make them feel secretly pleased, thinking that the panel had exposed his true intentions. When some players felt superior because of this, the hidden master technician Han watched all of this with a smile.
He needed a reason to bring in professional players, but he couldn't make it too obvious. So he used the method of issuing selection tasks. First, the requirement of being at the maximum level could eliminate a large number of casual players. After greatly narrowing down the pool, there was a lot of room for maneuver in the actual test. Whether a player could survive for more than thirty seconds depended entirely on how much skill they displayed.
With a little behind-the-scenes maneuvering, they can precisely select the top players they want.
The news quickly attracted the attention of professional players. After the league ended, these players had some free time and a year-long off-season to continue improving themselves. However, because they were at the maximum level, they could only hone their skills and find some new abilities. All the teams that qualified from all regions had similar conditions, but at this time, Han Xiao brought the opportunity to open a new map.
A new map means countless new opportunities!
The contestants were overjoyed; in their eyes, this was a godsend, and no one could afford to miss this opportunity.
The next day, countless professional players gathered, like celebrities walking the red carpet, dazzling with star power. Especially now that they had the halo of league achievements, they seemed even more prestigious, and many veteran players of the Sanctuary felt a sense of familiarity.
"By the way, a long time ago, when Black Phantom first started selling Advanced Knowledge, the scene was pretty much the same as it is now."
"The forum still has recordings from that time. The scene is much bigger now; almost all the professional players are here."
"Both times were related to the Black Phantom..."
The league had just ended, and the players were stranded in the Sanctuary, which was one of the reasons why Han Xiao was selecting players at this time.
Soon, a large number of people accepted the task. Han Xiao distanced himself, casually selected a professional player he didn't recognize, and said, "Hold on for thirty seconds, and you pass the test."
Nearly a thousand people accepted the mission, and upon hearing this, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Holding out for thirty seconds shouldn't be too difficult," Tai Erzi said. "Even if I were to take on a level 60 beast boss alone, I could hold it off for several minutes."
Li Ge checked the time and shook his head, saying, "Thirty seconds per person is too long."
As they were talking, the players and the max-level players all cast [Detection] on Han Xiao, obtaining basic information.
[Han Xiao -?] (Green name)
[grade:?]
[property:?]
[Danger Level: Extremely Lethal!]
"All question marks?!" Everyone's expression changed slightly, and they were taken aback.
They reached the maximum level of version 1.0 and Detection other level 60 Boss -Grade SS NPCs, at least seeing their level and some basic attributes. However, Han Xiao's information was still full of question marks, even his most basic identity was a question mark. This situation would only occur if someone was at least five levels higher than them.
They haven't encountered another example like this since reaching the level cap!
What level is Black Phantom?!
