The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

The two left through the side door of the venue and entered the reception room in the corridor. Philip closed the door. The sound insulation facilities here are very good, and the noise of the banquet outside is isolated.

The two sat down facing each other, Han Xiao snapped his fingers, and asked the simulated mechanical waiter on standby in the room to pour two glasses of amber wine, added a few ice cubes to it, and placed them on the low table in front of them.

"Now we can talk." Han Xiao swung his wine glass, licking the rim with the mellow wine.

He is now a big shot in Shattered Starlink. With his current status, he no longer takes the initiative to find tasks, but tasks come to him on his own initiative, and someone will always come to ask for help.

This phenomenon is not limited to himself, players can also do it, assuming a player has been in a certain galaxy for a long time, has made his own name, and occasionally encounters NPCs who come to him on his own initiative, this is the role of regional prestige.

"It's like this, my request is related to the future of Gulal civilization..." Cecilin sat upright.

Guess it, it’s not a major event of this level, who would bother a Transcendent A Grade when they have nothing to do... Han Xiao raised his hand without changing his face, signaling him to continue talking.

"Before that, please allow me to briefly introduce the current situation of my civilization." Cecilin said solemnly: "The Gulal civilization has always been in a state of military division, and the three main parties have formed their own military regions to oppose each other. , divided the territory, the three parties are the Gudi Party, the Pioneer Party and the Advent Party, and the ruling party that now represents the orthodox government of the Gulal civilization is the Gudir Party. They conduct diplomatic activities in the name of Gulal, My teammates and I are all members of the Gudi Party.”

Broken Starlink is one of the edges of the explored universe. Due to the lack of management and control, the situation is more complicated. Some civilizations are very stable and peaceful, while some civilizations are in the midst of external and internal troubles all year round, such as the internal military division of the Gulal civilization. It was quite a serious civil unrest.

"Well, I understand, so what do you want to ask for?" Han Xiao asked.

"I pray for the war assistance of the Black Star Legion to end the division of Gulal civilization and let us have peace."

"Oh, I understand, you want to apply for war employment, let my people assist the current ruling party and suppress the other two parties, right." Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.

However, Cecilin shook his head and gave an unexpected answer.

"No, I hope that the Black Star Legion can assist the Pioneer Party, overthrow the rule of the Ancient Emperor Party, and suppress the Adventist Party."

Han Xiao became a little interested, and looked Cecilin up and down, "You are a member of the Ancient Emperor Party, but you are actually a lobbyist for another party. Could it be that you have secretly joined the so-called Pioneer Party and are you a spy?"

Cecilin shook his head, "No, I was born on a colonial planet controlled by the Ancient Emperor Party, and served in the Ancient Emperor Party's army as an adult. So far, I have not joined other parties."

"Then what are you doing this for, profit? The Pioneer Party promised you benefits?"

"No, I have a high position in the Gudi Party, and I am a war hero. The Pioneer Party will not win over a hard-core member like me, and with my status, what the Pioneer Party can give me, the Gudi Party can also give me. I'm not doing it for profit."

"What is that for?"

"Idea." Cecilin said in a deep voice, "I agree more with the philosophy of the Pioneer Party. The Ancient Emperor Party is already rotten, and only the Pioneer Party can make the future of civilization full of hope."

"I understand." Han Xiao squinted his eyes. "You are a traitor. The Ancient Emperor Party gave you power and status, and let you enjoy the quota of the Evolution Cube, but you secretly want to overthrow its rule?"

"From their standpoint, I was indeed a betrayal, but from the standpoint of the Pioneer Party, I became a person who turned from the dark to the bright. What I say depends on the stand, so I only want to pay attention to the actual actions, and I don't want to care about other people's evaluation." Cecilin whispered: "When I was young, I was a passionate young man who always wanted to serve civilization, but at that time my thoughts were immature. Like many people, I was also keen to maintain the orthodox Ancient Emperor Party. Since I was born in Their colonial star, my position is largely determined by nature...but after serving for so many years, I have doubts about the philosophy and behavior of the Ancient Emperor Party, and my belief is getting more and more shaken."

Han Xiao looked at him without speaking, and asked Philip to search for detailed information on the Gulal civilization. He would not listen to one-sided words.

At this time, Cecilin's tone fluctuated, with a faint hint of anger:

"Due to the faction of the party, in order to maintain its absolute rule, the Gudi Party secretly committed many bloody incidents to compatriots. I also participated in some of them. Looking back now, I regret it. I have seen the darkness of politics, rule I once fell into self-doubt because of the bloody blood and the imprisonment of my thoughts. My home is full of medals awarded to me by the Gudi Party. I used to like to watch them recall the glory of the past, but now I look at these things that I used to be proud of Medal, I can smell the disgusting smell of blood in my nose."

Han Xiao rubbed his chin, "So you decided to betray the party that raised you?"

"To be precise, after experiencing self-doubt, I feel that I have unraveled some kind of shackles." Cecilin took a sip from the glass, took a breath, and sighed: "I have always been bound by my identity. I realized that the three parties are just the position of the internal division of civilization. The so-called opposition is meaningless. The future of the entire civilization should be more concerned. Whoever can bring a brighter future to Gulal, I should help him , So I got rid of the entanglement of being a member of the Gudi Party, and got rid of the position that has been restricting me all the time. I chose to follow free thoughts and inner judgments, so I chose the Pioneer Party that the people want. Lal goes further."

"So you think you are great?" Han Xiao frowned.

"I don't have such an idea." Cecilin shook his head.

"... Regarding your choice, I am just an outsider, and I don't want to comment on it anymore."

Han Xiao said slowly: "I just want to know, you said you didn't join other parties, so why should you represent the Pioneer Party to discuss cooperation with me?"

"I do not represent the Herald Party at this time, but I am making a request to you in my personal capacity."

Han Xiao laughed, "Then why do you think you can persuade me to intervene in a civilized civil unrest that I don't care about at all? You have not reached a consensus with the Pioneer Party, let alone whether they have any intention to let me intervene, let's be realistic , Can you afford the wages of war hires? Why should I kick off the ancient emperor party that is now cooperating with me to help you? What can you bring me?"

"I know it's offensive in my personal capacity, but I have no choice." Cecilin said in a deep voice, "The Ancient Emperor's Party sent me here this time, and gave me a task, which is to let me represent the Ancient Emperor's Party as an envoy. Applying to you for war hire, they are ready to use force to root out the other two parties and take back all splinter areas."

"So that's the case." Han Xiao understood.

The Ancient Emperor Party wants to resolve the split once and for all, but does not want to be controlled by advanced civilizations, so they do not ask for help from star cluster civilizations, but plan to hire foreign aid, that is, interstellar mercenaries. In Shattered Starlink, there are several largest mercenary forces, the most representative of which are three, Mercenary Allies, War Realm and Black Star Legion.

Since the Black Star Legion is the chief director of the mercenary allies and is an ally of the empire like War Realm, as long as the Black Star Legion is hired, the mercenaries of the Shattered Starlink will basically not be hired by employers who are opposed to the Black Star Legion. After all, the Black Star Legion has a high status and strength. Although mercenaries value money, they don't want to die. At the same time, mercenary groups that have a cooperative relationship are not hired by employers who are hostile to each other. This is a potential rule of the mercenary industry.

In the mercenary world of Broken Starlink, the status and influence of the Black Star Legion are already at the peak level.

As the ruling party, the Gudi Party has already joined the line of the Black Star Legion. As long as it gets assistance, Cecilin's favorite pioneer party will definitely be cool, so he can only take the risk and directly report to Han Xiao without sufficient preparation. Make a request.

Tsk, choosing you, a rebellious boy, as an envoy is really bad luck... The corner of Han Xiao's mouth twitched slightly.

Is this "I didn't have a choice before, but I want to be a good person now"?

Han Xiao shook his head, "Let's talk about something practical. No matter what party you have in power, it doesn't make much difference to me. The Ancient Emperor's party must have put forward a real price for cooperation with the Black Star Legion, and you will If you come to me so rashly, you can't guarantee anything... Forget it, I don't want to say bad words, this conversation can end."

Saying that, Han Xiao put down his wine glass, stood up, and walked towards the door, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Cecilin said it nicely, but he didn't talk about any substantive remuneration. Han Xiao didn't care about the partisan struggle in an unfamiliar civilization. After the transformation of the Black Star Legion, he retained the mercenary business, and mercenaries are not open to charity .

Violating the professional code is an act of unprofessional ethics and has no real benefits. Just want to fool a Transcendent A Grade with your mouth?

If you think so beautifully, why don't you die of beauty!

"Please wait." Cecilin hurriedly stood up, "As you said, it doesn't matter which party is in power. The Pioneer Party will also maintain a cooperative relationship with you. I beg you to help the Pioneer Party, Gulal The stronger the civilization, the more rewards it will bring to you, the Ancient Emperor Party has decayed, and the Pioneer Party is just."

"What does the justice in your mouth have anything to do with me?" Han Xiao didn't turn his head back, and set up the banner of justice for himself as soon as he touched his mouth. Everyone is out to mess around, so it's meaningless to do this.

His kindness only exists among acquaintances, and is very limited to strangers. It is not only due to his personality, but also the indifference created by the times, and he has experienced so many things, so naturally he will not be easily persuaded by outsiders.

"Please help the Gulal civilization!"

Boom.

There was a strange sound behind him, Han Xiao looked back, Cecillin was prostrate on the ground, a natural disaster grade made the lowest gesture to ask for help, his tone was anxious, he had no other words to say.

Glancing at it, Han Xiao remained indifferent, looked away, and was about to open the door and leave.

Just then, a task popped up on the panel.

[You trigger the S-level mission [Gulal Civilization Pioneer Fire]! ]

[Mission introduction: Gulal civilization is a galaxy-level civilization plagued by internal divisions. Serious party opposition has kept this civilization shrouded in flames of war. The civilization has not made progress for many years, and even keeps retreating. In order to break the deadlock, As a senior member of the Ancient Emperor Party, Cecilin decided to switch to the Pioneer Party and made a request to you]

[Task requirements: Overthrow the rule of the Ancient Emperor Party, eradicate the Advent Party, and make the Pioneer Party the ruler of the Gulal civilization]

[Failure Condition: The Pioneer Party is destroyed]

[Reward: After completing the task, the reward depends on the performance evaluation]

"S-level mission?" Han Xiao paused. A coup d'etat in a galaxy-level civilization is basically the same as a total war. It does have an S-level difficulty. It is difficult for players to influence the direction of an internal war in a galaxy-level civilization.

Of course, he is different. The Black Star Legion is very powerful, so it is naturally qualified to intervene in the war of galaxy-level civilizations. This task is not difficult for him.

After thinking about it, Han Xiao didn't stop, he opened the door quietly and walked out, leaving Cecilin in a daze in the room.

S-level missions are indeed attractive. However, it is unreasonable to help the Pioneer Party with missions. There is no mission for the Ancient Emperor Party. Han Xiao has rich experience, and he can tell at a glance that this must be a series of missions.

Han Xiao is going to communicate with other high-level officials of the Gulal civilization first, trigger another party's mission, and then see how to choose.

He has never been obsessive-compulsive when a task pops up on the panel.

War employment at the S-level task level is not a trivial matter. Although the Black Star Legion now has a status comparable to the star cluster level, it does not mean that it can ignore the galaxy-level civilization.

Han Xiao is very clear that although the Black Star Legion has a high status, it has its own factors. After all, the development time of the camp is limited. The military power of the legion can fight galaxy-level wars, but it is still far from star cluster-level civilization.

Han Xiao actually doesn't really need the rewards of this task, and he doesn't like the rewards of galaxy-level civilizations. He cares about this matter mainly for the players.

Naturally, he does not intend to intervene in this war by employing him personally - it is too bullying for Transcendent A Grade to intervene in the struggle of galaxy-level civilization. The experience penalty period has passed, so this task is of course thrown to the player to do.

And players are indeed the best performers of this kind of task, which can greatly reduce the casualties of legion soldiers.

The Battle of Lighthouse Star has come to an end. It is estimated that there will be no other major events for a long time. Players can only do side quests. Although exploring the shining world is beneficial, it is a bit boring for players, so he thought about making a New big events come out to fill this blank period and take care of the player's experience in the Legion.

On the other hand, this also allows legion players to get more rewards before the professional league. The rewards of S-level war mercenary missions are definitely richer than those of branch quests.

Helping players grow faster within the boundaries of the version can strengthen the appeal of the faction, which Han Xiao has always done.

At this time, Philip bubbled up in the quantum network.

"Master, I found the information about the Ancient Emperor Party you requested."

Han Xiao heard the words and entered the Quantum Network to check the information.

In this regard, Cecillin really didn’t lie—he didn’t dare to lie either. The Ancient Emperor’s Party was indeed unpopular, its rule was corrupt, the powerful colluded, the corruption was serious, and citizens complained a lot, but they were controlled by high pressure and dared not speak out.

The Advent Party is not a good thing, it is more extreme to some extent, and the Pioneer Party itself is not as good as Cecilin said, but with two peers as a foil, it is indeed the best-looking party among the three major parties. Reliable, it can be regarded as pulling out generals from within.

After reading it, Han Xiao nodded secretly.

Seeing is believing, and with actual information, he can only know it in his heart.
