The Legendary Mechanic

After settling the high level of the Star Alliance, Han Xiao became the shirker, and the three major civilizations together with the World Tree civilization were responsible for the subsequent clearing and regrouping operations.

Since the Star Alliance resistance had basically disintegrated, it was only a time-consuming and effortless task for the three major civilizations to systematically cleanse the Star Alliance territory of the migrating civilization forces.

This time, the three civilizations did not issue a massive call to arms, and only a few players were recruited to deal with the Star Alliance, while many more focused on their own professional leagues.

After a long period of preparation, the qualifying rounds have already begun, and are now in the white-hot stage, so the vast majority of players are not interested in the Star League War at this time, and now only want to hurt each other and participate in the new league event.

As Han Xiao has been brushing the sanctuary permissions, running for the truth of the iteration of the universe, so he did not deliberately pay attention to the player league situation, this time took the time to look around, and found that the biggest feature of this session of the professional league is the significant rise in the level of combat, the mainstream level of competition has been raised from B level to natural disaster level, the destructive power has increased dramatically.

Now in version 5.5, the level cap has been raised from 150 to 200 compared to version 4.0, and the World Tree War series of quests has made the player base a lot of money, although the customary CGs during the decisive battle, but the victory settlement afterwards brought the player base a surprising amount of money.

In the fourth league, the mainstream players were basically at the B level, and although they were considered stalwarts in the universe, in the eyes of the top combatants, they were more or less like chicken pecking at each other, and now in the fifth league, the player ladder has widened even more, and now the main player of the league is bound to be a natural disaster level, and the battle is seemingly decent.

In the territory of the Super Sanctuary, an uninhabited planet, the twenty-fourth preliminary round of the arena.

The two groups of sooty "yellow dragons" were tangled and collided with each other, and from time to time, the shock waves burst open, shaking out spider web-like cracks on the ground several kilometers in radius.

Two players in heavy armor are moving fast on the planet's surface, fighting with each other, with a tremendous sound, like a walking natural disaster, but their IDs are unfamiliar, they are not professional players from any guild, they are just ordinary passers-by.

These were only two unknown players, but their destructive power was already outstanding, making the many players and spectators in the sky look on with rapt attention.

As the player base stepped into the cataclysmic class in batches, their strength collectively climbed, and many of them experienced a qualitative change in their fighting power, many large clubs were given a wild card to the official tournament without having to risk their lives in the qualifiers in order to keep their ratings up and prevent some of the big guild pros from actually flipping out in the qualifiers. While this has made the qualifiers a little less exciting, the player base is still watching with great interest because of the dark horses.

"The overall destructive power of the players is getting stronger ......"

In the outer space, Han Xiao's virtual projection overlooked the planet, taking in the scene of the players' battles.

With his invisibility on, the other players could not see his projection, and remained focused on the match with their heads down, not looking up at the sky.

"Let the players grow for a few more versions, with more and more level caps unlocked, and they're bound to become a new source of chaos."

Han Xiao's eyes moved slightly, darkly chanting.

Now that the interstellar society had formed a new stable pattern, it would remain generally peaceful for quite some time, which was good for the interstellar citizens, but bad for the players.

After going through several versions of events, players have already eaten big fish and seen big scenes, and it would be unbearable for them to go back to their daily routines.

As various thoughts flashed by, Han Xiao took a deep look at the player ships in the sky, turned around, and disappeared.

On the other side, inside the cabin of a player ship, countless people were staring at the satellite screen feed back from the ground game, shouting and bustling.

The cadres of a guild club were also following the situation of the qualifiers, recording a dark horse and whispering.

"This year's competition is really topsy-turvy, there are too many fierce people," he said.

"I don't think it's good, I've seen no less than thirty top level Road King, if our team's players are really overturned by road players, we'll lose face."

"I really hope to hurry to the next version, where higher levels will be opened and the guild's plans will be implemented."

Many guild officials were secretly excited.

Because the level cap was further unlocked, the size of the natural disaster players in each guild saw a sharp rise, becoming established, and the operational strength of the guild organizations went up as a result.

In order to continue to bridge the gap between professional players and the general public, many guilds have developed detailed plans for the next version of the guild's operations and have decided to expand their presence in the universe.

While watching the pro leagues, many guild executives have their minds wandering far away and can't wait to make a splash in the next version.

......

Han Xiao did not have the leisure to pay attention to the players' professional league all the time, which was only a mood enhancer for him. He buried his head in the mechanical factory, leaving behind almost all the chores, and repeatedly checked the feasibility of breaking the dark side universe with the information actualization function of the world tree.

As the days of research flew by, the liquidation of the three major civilizations against the Star Alliance was gradually coming to an end. They had already received Han Xiao's fabricated war report from the Star Alliance's top management, and were speechless at Han Xiao's bad taste and ridicule, thinking that this person was fucking outrageous.

However, the heads of the three major civilizations could not let this small matter bother Han Xiao, who was working on a solution to break the dark side of the universe, and could only pretend that nothing had happened and quietly ordered people to destroy these spicy "black history".

In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed, and the three major civilizations have largely completed the dismantling and liquidation of the Star Alliance, digested most of the loot, and dismembered the enemy lurking in their beds.

In the meantime, the players' fifth professional league came to an end, and this time Dynasty Club finally returned to the first place and won the fifth league championship, with II-VI taking over the position of king and general and leading the team to the title, which elevated its historical status by one level and was hailed by the club as "the cornerstone of the next dynasty".

Dynasty is the only team that has won the championship twice in the past five leagues, and its popularity, which had been on a slight decline, skyrocketed like a rocket.

The first time I was in the game, I had a chance to see a lot of people who had been in the game for a long time.

The first and second runner-ups are the old American Magic World team and the Mao Zi's White Vodka team, which is not as dominant as before and failed to occupy two seats in the top three, but it is still a good performance, and has achieved excellent results in the single-elimination tournament and other affiliated tournaments, with a strong presence.

With the end of the professional league, version 5.5 came to the end of its life, and it came to the day of the version update.

In the player's guild base on one planet in the Super Sanctuary, a group of players gathered here to wait to go offline, chatting casually and noisily like a vegetable market.

"It's finally going to be updated again, I wonder how many years we'll have to jump to this time."

"The next time should be a major version update, the level cap will unlock at least 20 levels, take off!"

"I don't know what event the next version will be, even the world tree such a big enemy has been resolved, I think there should be nothing that can shake the pattern of today's interstellar society."

"Didn't you read the inference of the Star Ocean Times, the probability is that internal conflicts will intensify, and it's possible that the Black Star will go dark and turn into a new boss that will in turn compete with the three major civilizations."

"Yo, does that mean we can finally go on a killing spree? Then I'm going to kill him upside down!"

"Comfortable, I've already seen those three old bastards unhappy, let me chop them off to cool off."

"You guys don't have any fight in you! More than that, shouldn't we be concerned about whether the next version will fix the bug of not being able to go naked!"

"Right, right, right! If the next version doesn't run naked, I'll complain!"

Listening to the shouting of the players around him, Kaede looked disgusted, feeling that these people were hopeless.

In the midst of chatting, time slowly came to the end of the line, only to see a large white light flashing, a batch of players disappeared one after another, and the hall became empty.

At the same time, in the private research room of Ultra Sanctuary, Han Xiao, who was buried in research, raised his head with a movement.

"Well, has the version update started again?"

Han Xiao stopped his work and opened the panel to take a look. The forum was closed again, which meant that the time flow between the Dark Side Universe and the real universe was once again unbundled, becoming two separate systems again, and he was the only one left to interfere with the stable information bridge.

During this period of time, he has repeatedly studied the feasibility of the transformation scheme, and now his grasp has reached more than 70%, in which, although there are technical contributions from him, it is more attributable to the testing and perfection of the previous several dark side iterations, and he is also standing on the shoulders of giants to make the final repairs to this scheme.

Han Xiao shook his head, closed the panel, and was about to plunge back into the study, when Phillip suddenly popped up.

"Master Buzz, Her Excellency Emmers has come to your office, she wants to see you Buzz."

"Oh, I see, I'll be right over."

Han Xiao rubbed his eyebrows, so he had to put down the research he was doing and turned around to the office.

As soon as he entered, he saw Emmers sitting in her seat with her back to the door.

When she heard the noise, Emmers turned her chair around and sat with her long legs sticking out from beneath her black skirt, overlapping them, staring at Han Xiao with a smile instead of a laugh, and tsked, "Busy man, it's not easy to meet you."

"I've been busy lately, you know that." Han Xiao went around the table to the back of the chair, and pressed his hands on both sides of Emmers's forehead, gently kneading.

Emmersie closed her eyes comfortably, but her mouth wouldn't stop, laughing: "Yeah, there's no time when you're not busy, if I didn't come to you occasionally, I'd almost wonder if you're going to forget about me."

"What kind of words are you calling this, net nonsense, should be punished." Han Xiao left his mouth, bringing a faint electric current to his fingers, stimulating Emmers eyelashes to tremble.

Emmerich turned her head to avoid Han Xiao's fingers, slapped his palm away in a bad mood, turned around, stood up, put away her smile, and said squarely.

"I don't understand why you keep yourself so busy when the world tree is settled, the three civilizations have softened, and we now have no security concerns. Where do you get the pressure from again?!"

"...... It's confidential, I can't tell you yet, it's always tricky." Han Xiao shook his head, the secrets about the iteration of the universe, telling the super-A group would not help, so he did not reveal it to anyone other than the heads of the three major civilizations.

"Do you remember what I said at the beginning, ambition is never-ending, when exactly are you willing to stop? Do you really want to take over from the three major civilizations?" In the meantime, Emmers said, "What is it that you're trying to hide so badly? Can't we just say it and take it on together?"

"You can't help ......"

Han Xiao hesitated, lifted his hand to touch Emmers' cheek, felt the smoothness of the touch, and whispered.

"This should be the last time, I'll let us all survive."

At the words, Emmerich's eyes shifted, and although she didn't know what Han Xiao was hiding, she could hear the heavy tone in Han Xiao's voice, and even the Super Gods found it tricky, so it must be some kind of predicament she couldn't imagine.

Emmers was about to ask a follow-up question when the communication device in the room suddenly beeped.

On it was a message from Mablus, with only one content ......

The Sanctuary Explorers are finally back!

Han Xiao's eyes lit up.

"I have something to leave for a while, so I'll leave first and accompany you next time."

Han Xiao threw down a sentence and hurriedly replaced the emperor.

Emmers opened her mouth to say something, but the next moment Han Xiao opened the teleportation and disappeared in the room in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the empty room, Amos squeezed and unclenched her fists several times before taking a deep breath and suppressing the complicated emotions inside.

The subordinate who once needed his protection was now an existence that she could only look up to her back, and to this day, she found it more and more difficult to keep up with Han Xiao's footsteps.

Although Emmers is indifferent in nature and seldom dwells on such things, but after many years, there will be some concern and loss ...... Even though Han Xiao's attitude towards her is always the same, Emmers knows that she is hardly qualified to share her worries for Han Xiao anymore.
