Chapter 72 Back to Juberly

After staying on Sunil for about a month, Han Xiao and his party finally returned to the Juberly Hub. The first thing Han Xiao did upon returning to the hub hall was to upgrade the medium-sized rest area to a large stronghold. The rent increased from 40 to 100 Enas, the space was larger, and it was no longer cramped.

The more impressive the base of a faction, the more reliable the members feel. In fact, Han Xiao felt that a spaceship was the best mobile base, but a spaceship was too expensive. Even if all the players' kidneys were cut out, they couldn't afford it... but human bodies are not popular in the interstellar organ trading market.

If you have money, you have to spend it. The mechanic's consumption concept has always been that money spent will return.

This trip was very fruitful. The players earned tens of thousands, and Han Xiao had to carry out a round of harvesting before he could earn the funds to purchase two advanced knowledges.

Professional players will inevitably take out their spare money to buy equipment, and there are many private equipment stores opened by different races in the Juberly Hub, which are all competitors.

"It's impossible for players to only spend money with me. Players have their own preferences and cannot be deprived of their freedom, otherwise it will be detrimental to the development of the faction. Apart from masochists, no one likes to be forced, and I may not be able to meet all the needs just by selling things..." Han Xiao thought to himself, "However, I only need a part of the players' wealth, and accumulating it little by little will be enough to make a big profit."

Although Han Xiao has many ways to make money, he has always kept his desire to make money within a rational range.

He updated the faction exchange list and put on three types of Sunil soldier armor: defensive, assault, and reconnaissance. The prerequisite was to consume 500 faction favorability, and then add 800 Enas to exchange.

In the new stronghold, before the players started their free activities, some people discovered the new products in the faction store.

Mad Blade exclaimed in surprise: "Is this the soldier armor we saw on Sunil?"

Haotian wondered: "That's right, this is their technology. How can a mercenary group exchange for the equipment of other forces?!"

A group of players immediately became curious.

Meat Bun had a flash of inspiration and put forward a reliable view, "The mercenary group should be a faction with growth potential. By accepting different mission hires, the faction store can be updated. The more missions you accept, the stronger the faction will become..."

Everyone thought of Melos joining, and the growth potential displayed on the faction panel when they first joined Black Star, and they all felt it made sense, and a burst of excitement surged out.

It turned out that their players' actions could make the faction grow!

"We may have joined a special faction!" Mad Blade said excitedly.

Everyone was a professional player, and immediately thought of the advantages of the mercenary group. If they experienced the employment of different forces, the exchange list would be updated with some equipment of that force. Then, as long as they experienced more tasks, the exchange options of the mercenary group would become more and more abundant. In this way, they don't need to join other factions for equipment, they just need to increase the favorability of the mercenary group itself, saving too much time!

They were the first batch of players to enter the interstellar world, and they also accepted a high-difficulty selection at the beginning. Could it be that joining this faction is an implicit benefit?!

The players believed that the mercenary group's characteristic came from Han Xiao. The protagonist of the storyline must have something special. A group of players trusted Han Xiao very much, as if anything amazing he did was possible. This was the image Han Xiao had always created for the players.

Letting the players feel that the growth of the faction was "promoted" by them, and clearly seeing the growth of the faction, would slowly form a sense of belonging. This was also the development path he had initially set. Now that the players finally felt this characteristic and felt a sense of novelty, his strategy achieved the expected effect.

At this time, the players had money in their pockets and were generous. Several people immediately bought soldier armor. Han Xiao didn't have the real thing on hand and needed to order it. Other players were more pragmatic and prepared to wait until the real thing came out before observing.

When fighting on Sunil, every player coveted the individual armor, but unfortunately there was no way to buy it. Tai Erzi even wanted to steal a set.

"After fighting for more than a month, let's take a break for a while."

Han Xiao dismissed everyone, left the stronghold, and rented a mechanical modification room.

He first spent several million experience points to upgrade the armor blueprint to level six, and then started manufacturing. There were still a lot of materials brought from Aquamarine Star, and only a small part of the Sunil soldier armor needed to be purchased from interstellar materials. The cost of a set was only about 50 Enas.

The mercenary group has no missions for the time being, and the players can finally have a good stroll around the Juberly Hub, and naturally they will not only choose one place to spend money.

There are many shops in the hub center, with a wide variety of goods and many choices. Taking advantage of this break, everyone saw the equipment of different civilizations, and also bought a lot of equipment, such as more powerful guns, small mechanical devices with auxiliary functions, and so on.

At the same time, everyone found that some mechanical stores were also selling individual armor. This is very common in the interstellar world. Although the shape of these armors is very different from that of Sunil, the technology contained in them is relatively basic. However, the store prices are too expensive compared to the internal exchange of the mercenary group. The cheapest one costs 3200 Enas, which is three times more expensive!

The players were worried because of this. The principle of getting what you pay for is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Han Xiao's armor is so cheap, will the attributes be very poor?

Everyone secretly noted the attributes of the store armor, and prepared to compare them after the mercenary group's products came out.

——Although Black Star's equipment prices are advantageous, when professional players have money, they always only look at the advantages and disadvantages, not the price.

…

Melos went to the mercenary hall alone to register and join the Black Star Mercenary Group, and opened the mercenary group's resume:

——

Black Star Mercenary Group

Credit Points: 154

Total Size: 53 people

C-Grade: 52 people

B-Grade: 1 person

Number of Completed Hires: 1 (low-level daily work is not included)

Active Area: Garton Star System

Resume: [Sunil Defense War (Fold/Expand)]

Founder: Black Star - Han Xiao

Creation Time: October 2, 688

Overall Rating: Small mercenary group with a certain combat capability, with one B-Grade superhuman member.

——

"It's only been a month since the mercenary group was established, Black Star didn't lie to me..." Melos saw that the team only had one B-Grade, so he knew that he was the strongest in the group, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility.

For the future of the race, be sure to protect Han Xiao, and hope that this leader will not choose too dangerous hiring missions.

On the other side, Han Xiao, who was manufacturing armor in the workshop, received a panel prompt.

[Faction Reward Amount: 135700]

[Leader Level Lv80: +64000]

[Cadre: Melos (B) +20000]

[Scale - 53 people: +20000]

[Fame - 7: +14000]

[Legend Degree: Leader (3) +15%]

[Allies or Enemies: None]

Sunil's friendly relationship belongs to the personal category and has not yet risen to the faction ally.

Han Xiao was refreshed. The faction gained its first cadre, took the first step, and the amount increased by 20,000. Recruiting cadres is indeed a good way to quickly increase the amount.

Two days later, Han Xiao made six sets of soldier armor. The players couldn't wait to try them on, and immediately realized the convenience.

Individual armor is a topic that most civilizations will inevitably study to a certain extent. The original intention is to allow individuals to obtain stronger physical fitness and adaptability to different environments. The first time players put on individual armor, it was like opening the door to a new world.

In the stronghold, several players who bought the armor were enthusiastically operating the armor. The novel sense of control made them enjoy it. Other players gathered around curiously to touch it.

"How does it feel?"

"It looks heavy, but it's actually very convenient to move. There is a built-in power structure inside."

Jiang Yu Luo frowned slightly and said coldly: "A pile of iron lumps, it looks so ugly."

All the male high-level players glared over in unison, for the first time with a common hatred.

"What do you know, mecha is a man's romance!"

PS: (I was a little exhausted these past two days, and slept all day in a daze. I didn't write any words. I don't have any manuscripts, and I post them as soon as I write them. The update time is uncertain, I'm really sorry, sorry everyone.)
