nk!
The heavy chains fell onto the ground. Kerlodd heaved a sigh of relief, moved his limbs around, and awkwardly looked down on his nude body. “Can I...”
A set of clothes were thrown toward him. Kerlodd shoved them on hastily; being naked would have humiliated anyone.
Han Xiao stared at Kerlodd with a smile the whole time. Kerlodd’s personal ount had gctic general currency. Calling the gctic travel agency needed money, and since Han Xiao was unsure if they would ept resources as payment, getting the general currency was insurance.
Furthermore, he indeed did not want to kill Kerlodd. Although he had the upper hand now, Godora definitely knew that an investigator hade to Aquamarine, gotten into an ident, and lost contact. Thus, they would contact Six Nations at some point or even send out new investigator team.
The truth would always be revealed. If he killed Kerlodd, the conflict would only get more intense, and there was no need for that. Letting Kerlodd live meant that the personal conflict would not be a bigger one. Investigators often met a bit of danger; as long he did not die, Godora would definitely not bother as such small conflict was nothing.
Of course, although Kerlodd had made a promise, Han Xiao did not trust himpletely. At least he would not let Kerlodd out of his sight in Aquamarine and would not return any of his equipment to him.
Because of him acting mysterious, Kerlodd assumed that Han Xiao came from the gxy as well, so he would not dare to make a move easily unknown of his identity.
As expected, Kerlodd asked again, “Who are you really?”
“Gctic Human,” Han Xiao said with perfunctory.
The human race in the gxy was a veryrge species, and there were countless branches. Kerlodd observed that Han Xiao seemed to be the mostmon type of Gxy Human race. Not being able to identify Han Xiao’s origins, he scratched his head and said, “Okay, I will not ask again. When are you nning to leave? I want to go home soon.”
“Not too long.”
Han Xiao nned to bring the pro yers from the Aquamarine Division away. The Divisions would soon end; he could wait.
“By the way,” Kerlodd suddenly said, “where’s my spaceship?”
“Someone took it away, probably without the intention of returning it to you.” Han Xiao knew full well what had happened after. He knew that Raylen locked down the information just from the fact that there was no intelligence about the crashed spaceship from the intelligence agents in the Dark Net; it was clear what Raylen wanted to do.
Kerlodd was upset and did not think about contacting the Six Nations at this time. The current situation did not favor him, so he did not want to take the risk. Furthermore, he felt that he had more to say to Han Xiao, who also came from the gxy like him, andmunicating with him would be easier than with the natives.
“What malfunction did your spaceship have?” Han Xiao asked.
“I don’t know either. It was flying normally and perfectly under stealth mode, and when approaching Aquamarine, the engine suddenly stopped working. Although the observer spaceship isn’t big, it was very stable. I have no idea why it would suddenly malfunction.
Han Xiao thought about it before shaking his head
He started to get down to business. He turned on themunicator and registered for a personal ount. Themunicator also worked as a personal terminal—its personal ount functions were very rich and had a bank transfer function, the mostmon way of making a deal in the gxy, quick and convenient. Every big civilization had their own gctic bank, among which, the most authorized and powerful ones were the three Universal Civilization banks of course. The banks worked with each other, and they could be used anywhere in the gxy.
Han Xiao picked one randomly and told Kerlodd to make the transfer.
Ding!
“Your ount has been transferred 878 Enas.” A pleasant-sounding female voice appeared from the terminal.
“Only this much money? You’re too poor.” Han Xiao could not help butin.
Enas was the general currency in the gxy, the mostmon currency unit used.
Kerlodd’s face turned red, and he said, “I don’t have the habit of saving. Being an investigator is a tough job, and I need to enjoy myself... Wait a minute, why am I exining myself to you?”
He suddenly realized that he was being robbed—why did he even have to feel ashamed of having little money?
Having received the money, Han Xiao’s target was achieved, and he felt assured. Counting the days, the Aquamarine Divisions wouldst for about more than ten days, and he nned to use that time to contact the gctic travel agency in advance.
There were thousands of channels in themunicator. Han Xiao looked through and entered ‘Garton Gxy Travel Agency Channel’. A dense list of traveling routes appeared on the screen, and a cold electrical voice appeared.
“Is filtering required?”
“Yes.”
“Location?”
“Star Zone 9, Aquamarine.”
“Destination?”
Han Xiao paused then said, “Juberly Hub.”
“Please select price range.”
“Cheapest.” Han Xiao gave ‘Kerlodd the Cheapskate’ a stare.
“Number of travelers?”
“A few dozen.”
“Race?”
“Human.”
“Have you used the Gctic Travel agency before?”
‘Yes.”
After more than twenty questions, the result was finally filtered down, leaving only five traveling agencies. The Gctic Travel agency was a veryrge industry, and manyrge organizations provided this service. This was one of the cheapest ways for gctic travel, like a private hire, or more urately, a ‘public spaceship’.
Han Xiao chose the ‘Short Horn Star’ travel agency as this was a gctic travel agency with a very good name. After choosing, themunicator transferred themunication channel into the Short Horn Star salesperson channel, letting both parties discuss the details.
“Greetings, thank you for choosing Short Horn Star. We will provide you the best high-quality and inexpensive services...”
The salesperson was a beautiful human female. ording to the race of the customer, they would be assigned to salespersons meeting their standard of beauty. After the saleswoman finished her weing opening, she said, “We have received your travel requirements. Fortunately, a Whale Spaceship will pass by Star Zone 9 in twenty days’ time. We will bring you to the ship by then. What grade of seats would you like? We have economy ss, business ss, first-ss ss, VIP cabins, and even VVIP cabins.
“What’s the price for the economy cabins?”
“3 Enas per person. How many seats would you like to reserve?”
Han Xiao quickly counted before saying, “Fifty.”
Bringing about fifty of high skill yers in the top ces should be enough. Bringing some yers was a very important part of the n.
Han Xiao then paid the deposit and confirmed the boarding time, nodding in his mind. The preparation of heading into the gxy could be consideredpleted. His destination was Juberly Hub, a transfer station in Garton Gxy with essible and convenient transportations. Various races of the Colton Group gathered there, and there were many opportunities. In Han Xiao’s n, the Juberly Hub was the most suitable to be his first station of entering the gxy.
<i>Now, I just have to wait for the yers to finish thepetition. I will then make an announcement, and the team will be created. It’s all ready.</i>
There were some matters in Aquamarine that he had to deal with before leaving.
...
For a few days in a row, Han Xiao transferred his resources secretly and brought Kerlodd along all the time. He made him wear a cape covering his skin. They asionally appeared before people in the sanctuary, raising some curiosity and shock as to why there was suddenly a mysterious man alongside Han Xiao.
During the battle between the top eight to decide top four in the Singles, Frenzied Sword met Li Ge. Frenzied Sword, who everyone expected to lose before the match, gave an astonishing performance. After five tough battles, he beat Li Ge by one round. This time, Frenzied Sword expressed what a Mechanical Pugilist was fully capable of and finally showcased something he had been hiding, his Energy Warhammer. Its explosive power was even stronger than a Pugilist, helping him to break through Li Ge’sbos.
Frenzied Sword entered top four Singles, and the haters suddenly all disappeared. The victory was the best confidence boost, his ‘China’s Best Mechanical Pugilist’ nickname in the forums became more popr. He was considered the ck horse of the first season!
Li Ge did not think that he would lose to Frenzied Sword, and unfortunate things did note alone. The Temple of God entered the top four teams, meeting Long Sky. This time, Hao Tian gave his all. He cleansed himself of his previous shame, defeated Temple of God, and entered the finals of the Groups.
The situation became clear. Long Sky and Dynasty would fight for the Divisions Champions and Runner-Up. Temple of God could only fight for Second Runner-Up with another team. As for the Singles, if things went smoothly, Frenzied Sword could very possibly enter the top three, and he had a very high chance of entering the Internationals. As for the champion, not that Han Xiao looked down on Frenzied Sword, but Dynasty’s King Admiral was way too strong. His skills, control, and attributes were almost undefeatable in Version 1.0. Dynasty seemed to have the momentum of bing the champion; the media favored them.
Even so, Frenzied Sword’s achievements and poprity were way better than what he had boasted in Han Xiao’s previous life. It had definitely been worthwhile cultivating him.
The Divisionssted for about half a year. The batch of yers with the highest level already reached an average level of the limit LV 60.
As Han Xiao was doing his preparation discreetly, Bet suddenly called him.
“I have arrived at Sanctuary Three. Where are you?”
“Why are you suddenly here?” Han Xiao said jokingly. “Missed me?”
“What do you think?” Bet said with a very serious tone. “Where did you hide that alien? You didn’t eat him, did you?”
Han Xiao’s smile disappeared, and he frowned. “Did Huang Jian expose it?”
“Talk when we meet. You’re in big trouble this time again!” Bet said with a low voice, but there was not much me in his tone... He was already used to having trouble drop from the sky.
