The prerequisite of the Sunil NCO Class armor had been met, and Han Xiao could reverse engineer the armor and draw up the blueprint . He did not want to sell it to the players at the moment . After all, he had just finished selling the Enlistee Class armor, and releasing the new armor would affect the rewarding buff from the Enlistee Class armor . So, he chose to wait for a while .
I have five class advancement knowledge in my hands right now . With all these new blueprints, I can finally upgrade by equipment… Han Xiao stroke his chin and fell into deep thought . He currently had four battle styles: the core Amphiptere, Compounded Magnetic Chain Split Blades and Thermo-Electrical Incisor Gloves for close combat, Sonic Sphere for mid-range combat, and Wrath of Garrett while kiting for long range combat . All four modes provided well-rounded combat abilities for Han Xiao .
[Heavy Machine Modification] gave him the skill to create large scale machinery, and [Advanced Electromagnetism] could help Han Xiao create more stable weapons running on electromagnetic force . Electromagnetic weapons were the next stage for normal weapons, and they were more powerful compared to weapons running on gunpowder . These two knowledges were extremely important, and Han Xiao had to upgrade them sooner or later . Thus, he used sixteen potential points to max out both knowledges .
If he wanted to update his combat styles, then his close combat weapons were outdated . Luckily, he could use these new knowledges to build bigger and badder toys . For mid-range weapons, he just had to change his gunpowder weapons into Electromagnetic weapons . The Ghost sniper rifle had always been incomplete, and the Advanced Electromagnetism was the key to completion .
For Amphiptere, since there was nothing that could drastically revolutionize the armor, Han Xiao only had plans to just add a few new functions and attachable charms . He cracked his knuckles and got to work .
Not only was he going to renew his combat styles, he also had the power to create large machinery . Han Xiao planned to create a vehicle on the ground to travel with the entire faction . As soon as he thought of this idea, one word popped out in his head…

Genius!
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled .
The vehicle can also be the symbol of this mercenary group, which can raise the interests of the players as it shows that our group is growing together . If I can use the Advanced Electromagnetism to improve this heavy machinery, then isn't it just a simpler version of an Electromagnetic Rail Cannon‽ A ground vehicle is the best out of all other vehicles!
He dove straight into his work . He bought plenty of spare parts and locked himself in the tuning room . Before he went in, he told the players to rest well in the Hub .
The crowd did not have any objections . They had changed compared to when they first arrived in space . The players understood the benefits that they would get if they listened to Han Xiao—even Li Ge stayed put in the Hub Center . The players talked and interacted with travelers from different races . Getting to know more about civilization was an entertaining experience . Although the professional players were materialistic and focused on results, there were quite a lot of players like Maple Moon who enjoyed stories, and they were attracted to the fascination of the galaxy .

During the resting time, Bun-Hit-Dog started to make his second episode of the Black Star Series . He continued with his TV show editing style . Not only Planet Aquamarine, audiences all over the galaxy could not wait for the second episode . As soon as the show was released, hundreds of thousands of viewers joined in an instant .
The show continued from the last episode . It started off from the first mission of the Mercenary Group, and the show told the tragic story of Sunil and the scenes from the Catastrophe . The players who did not step into the galaxy were sucked into the narrative as if they were there . The mercenary group was the eyes of millions of viewers . Through the experiences of the journey, the audiences got to know more about the galaxy along with the mercenary group, so they already had a deep bond with the group .
The episode continued until the end of the Catastrophe . The mercenary group gained a new member along the way named Herlous, as if he was a main character in a TV show . This person instantly grabbed the attention of the audience . Bun-Hit-Dog showed the new items in the Faction stop while the narrator explained the potential growth of this faction . The audience had a lot of expectations for the future adventures of the mercenary group, and at the same time, they became even more jealous of the players that had joined Han Xiao .
Han Xiao also watched the show and was satisfied with Bun-Hit-Dog's work . The show could slowly be integrated into people's lives and create an emotional bond with the audience .
…
In the Hub Center's Battle Simulation Room, Herlous swung his Battleship Slicing Blade and tore the simulated beasts into pieces . He had not fought in a long time, so he came back to the room and to practice every day . Because Han Xiao was drowned in his building and creation, he did not update the mercenaries' information . So, in Herlous' mind, he was still the only Class B Supers in the group . Thus, he felt a huge responsibility on his shoulder and practiced diligently .

After battling for a few hours, all the simulations disappeared . The battlefield filled with corpses turned back into an empty white room . Herlous withdrew his sword, wiped his sweat from his forehead, and headed out the room . At this time, Frenzied Sword, Hao Tian, and King Admiral walked out from the gravity room on the side . They saw Herlous and hurriedly walked up to him .
"So, you guys are training, too . " Herlous nodded at the members . Over the past few days, the players had been nice to him and were full of passion . He felt that he was getting along with the team . Although, Herlous was out weirded out by their names . It seemed that different cultures had different ways of naming . He thought that it was the culture of Han Xiao's planet .
He was just wondering why these players could not die . Of course, the players could not tell the truth, so Herlous just thought that it was an Esper power in this group .
"Can you teach us some battle techniques?" Hao Tian asked .
In the eyes of the players, Herlous was an unopened chest . They tried to activate some certain events such as learning a new skill . However, Herlous did not have the ability to pass down skills, so all he could do was offer a few pointers . However, under his teaching, the players' close combat skills would significantly improve . One would need some luck to activate the event, which mostly depended on Herlous' mood . However, the players would still try and ask once in a while .
Herlous felt important after being in this team . Suddenly, a local news agency building sounded an emergency alarm .
"… Breaking news . A team of Silvers were attacked by scavengers during their travel in the Shattered Star Ring . Some of them were kidnapped . From our intel, the point of attack was Colton Star Cluster, Fawn Galaxy, Star Zone 4 . The size of the scavenger pack is unknown . The escaped Silvers are now hiring mercenary groups to save the remaining Silvers with a high reward…"
This information got Herlous' attention . The Silvers? This race was from the Silver Spirits Sea that was far away . It was the race of Universe Royalty!
Some powerful and advanced civilizations were called the Universe Royalty . The three Universal Civilization that colonized the universe were of course the Universal Royalty . The Silvers were not on that level yet, but it was a long-lasting advanced civilization, and they also had a special position in the universe . At the same time, this Universe Royalty was highly demanded in the slave market, so they were the perfect prey for the scavengers .
The Silvers were rich, so the reward would undoubtedly be insanely high . Herlous, who was short on cash, was slightly moved . He had to try and convince Black Star to seize this opportunity to earn free money .
The area under the rule of Godora was the Garton Galaxy . The Fawn Galaxy was next to Garton, but it was not as large as Garton . A few civilizations that were slightly weaker than Godora had control over different Star Zones, but conflicts often occurred on the borders . Although they were no actual wars, there was a lot of chaos, and no one had power over those areas .
Fawn Galaxy's Star Zone 4 was right on top of the borders, where it was under no one's jurisdiction . The neighboring civilization ignored the calls of help from the Silvers, so they had to pay high rewards to search for mercenaries to help .
