[Faction Management] was the mostplicated among all the NPC interfaces. There was a dizzying number of options and information. Through this interface, Han Xiao had ess to all the faction-rted features a yer would have, and he could also give out faction missions, albeit a limited amount.
The level of reward that he could give out was dependent on his own level, faction rank, faction influence, and legendary points.
_____________________
Faction Reward Limit: 92,000
Faction Leader Level: 70 (+56,000 reward limit)
Officers: None (NPC)
Faction Size: 47 (+20,000 reward limit)
Renown: 2 (+4,000 reward limit)
Faction Leader Legendary Points: 3 (+15% reward limit)
Allies and Enemies: None
_____________________
92,000 was the limit for a single mission, but the daily total limit was twenty times that amount, far more than the limit for individual members, which was only five times more. Moreover, the other factors such as the faction officers and renown would all add on to that limit. With everything added up, their faction’s currently daily total limit was twenty-six times the base amount.
This meant that he could reward the yers in his faction with a total of 2.4 million experience every day, but as there were currently fifty or so yers, each yer could only receive around 50,000 experience. This was not really a lot of experience for the yers at their level.
<i>The reward limit mainly controls the speed at which a faction can grow. This is only the base limit, so there’s still a lot of room for growth.</i>
He made some calctions, and putting aside his leadership level, his own character level also contributed to the reward limit. Recruiting strong NPC officers to their faction would also greatly increase their reward limit. This convinced him of the need to start interacting with main storyline characters. The faction size was also separated into different stages, with the next cutoff being a hundred members. Renown was basically the same as the reputation system with a small difference. Faction renown was the aggregate of all area reputation points. For example, ten points of renown in the Garton Gxy and five points in the Gelock Star Cluster would add up to a total of fifteen faction renown.
Legendary Points gave a percentage increase to the reward limit, and this increase was calcted after all the other factors such as leadership points were ounted for. The “Allies and Enemies” was basically the faction’s foreign rtions.
Aside from faction missions, the system also allowed him to manage and monitor the yer-faction rtionship, as well individual yers’ level of contribution. Overall, Han Xiao was very pleased with this new interface, and it could help him attract more yers.
After Han Xiao established his faction, the other yers also received notifications on their interface.
_____________________
You have joined [ck Star Mercenary Group].
Current rtionship: Cold (0/300)
_____________________
The yers were not surprised, as something like a faction notification was everyday business to them.
Han Xiao’s Faction Management system started listing out the names of the member yers. His eyes shed, and he gave out another notification.
_____________________
You are the ck Star Mercenary Group’s first batch of recruits. You have gained 300 contribution points. Current rtionship status: Neutral (300/1000)
_____________________
“There’s something like this?”
“We got the neutral status directly.”
The yers were overjoyed, and they hurriedly studied the faction interface. They wanted to find out what benefits they could get out of earning contribution points.
Once they entered the faction reward page, an assortment of items was disyed in front of them. Most of these items were originally in Han Xiao’s personal NPC shop, and he simply moved them over to the faction page. Moreover, he also threw in some good stuff that was not avable from his shop. There were the Ranger 2.5 robots, each costing 1,500 contribution points to exchange; mini mobile turrets, each costing 1,200 points; and the original Python mechanical suit, which cost 6,000 points.
The equipment and items instantly caused a reaction from the yers.
“Good stuff!”
“God-tier gear!”
The yers were moved. These items had previously been unavable to purchase no matter how much money they had.
“The mercenary group is newly established, and the credibility rating is still quite low,” Han Xiao said. “Only by raising our credibility rating can we take on higher level missions. We’re allrades-in-arms now. Let’s work hard together for the future of the mercenary group.”
Immediately after, he made the faction size information visible to all the yers in the interface. He wanted to use this as a reminder for them that they could take on jobs with better pay once they raised their rating. Moreover, he wanted the yers to feel like they could directly contribute to the faction’s growth with their own actions.
The yers were taking a while to process all this information.
Then, Han Xiao turned his attention to finding missions or job notices given by the Sunil tribe for his subss. He quickly found several avable missions; however, their faction’s credibility rating needed to be at least 120.
<i>120 points? </i>Han Xiao thought as he touched his chin. If he did things normally, he would be able to acquire 120 points after taking several outboundbat missions. However, he decided to take those menialbor missions that awarded at least one credibility point per mission. These daily missions were safe and easy, and they could bepleted within the hub. Although it would take more missions, was this not what the yers were for?”
He immediately used the newly gained interface to issue a faction mission.

Faction Mission [Credibility Standard]
Mission Introduction: ck Star Mercenary Group has decided to take on an outbound assignment. However, the minimum credibility rating must first be met. (Note: This is the prerequisite of the first outbound assignment taken on by the faction.)
Mission requirement: Complete the daily missions and jobs at the Hub Center until the ck Star Mercenary Group has acquired 120 credibility points.
Reward: 45,000 experience and 300 faction contribution points
Remark: The three top contributors to meeting the credibility rating minimum will receive additional benefits.
_____________________
“There isn’t much experience awarded, but the contribution points rewarded are not bad.”
“Did you not see? This is only the first part. We will be able to take on thebat assignmentter on. That’s where we’ll be able to get the experience.”
“This is a team mission, right? It’s asking for everyone to contribute to the 120 points total.”
“Hoho. You even get benefits for being the top three.”
Frenzied Sword, Hao Tian, and the others got excited and could not sit still after seeing the reward. They knew better than anyone that Han Xiao’s ‘benefits’ would definitely not be ordinary.
The mission only required taking on the daily missions in the hub. These missions usually only had to do with cleaning and some other utility-rted work. The good thing was that they did not have to go through the trouble of leaving the hub. If the fifty yers worked together, they would be able to meet the credibility rating requirement very fast. Han Xiao was not worried at all. Moreover, the yers had only been getting benefits ever since they joined the faction. So, they naturally had no reason to refuse the faction invitation.
After receiving Han Xiao’s orders, the yers spread out and left to take on the daily missions. With this group of helpers, Han Xiao was able to clear out a lot of time for himself to deal with some other business. After he returned to the resting room, he decided to make some preparations as well as think through his future ns.
A few hourster, Li Ge and the others returned to the resting room. They had been walking around outside for quite a while. Li Ge had left for space because he wanted to trigger all those new missions. With so many new NPCs at the Hub Center, he could not wait to explore around and see what missions he could ept. However, he found out that most people there were travelers, and they allughed Li Ge and the others away when they tried to offer help. The NPCs asked them why they did not just go to the Mercenary Alliance if they wanted to take on jobs.
Although they could not receive any missions, they were able to get a new piece of information. After heading to the Mercenary Alliance and busying themselves for half the day, they finally registered themselves as mercenaries. Seeing the countless listings of jobs and missions convinced them that they had made the right choice ining to space.
Furthermore, Li Ge believed that acting by themselves was the right action to take, as they had gained a lead on the other yers.
The group of people chatted as they walked to the room’s entrance.
“We have gained an advantage this time. Do you think we should tell others about this mercenary thing?”
Li Ge shook his head. “This is an opportunity that we found. We’re allpeting against each other here. There’s no need to tell them straight away.”
“But should we tell them if they were to ask?”
Li Ge thought about this, and he appeared to be troubled. Hiding away information like this after being asked would cause trouble easily. Just as he was trying to decide what to do, the group opened the door to the room. However, they realized that not a single yer was in the room.
“Hmm.” A Temple of God yer was confused and asked, “Where did the others go?”
“No idea.” Li Ge was d and secretly let out a deep breath. He no longer had to be afraid of being questioned by the other yers.
