    Upon experiencing the convenience of the automatic binding, Han Xiao could not help but feel good. <i>Maic connection is truly convenient.</i>


    The exoskeleton armor looked rough and ferocious. It had a mechanic structure of heavy, ck alloy armorbined with staggered fangs—the visual impact was very strong. The Siege Mode was focused on power and defense; it was like a train head when moving. The mechanical limbs wererge and tough, equipped with arge number of moving gears, adding the bonus of dozens of Strength points and more than 10,000 armor points.


    There were always pros and cons—the disadvantage of the Siege Mode was reduced Dexterity. Amphiptere itself was covered by the heavy exoskeleton armor, but luckily, there was the Nerves Connection, so controlling the exoskeleton armor was easy.


    His scythe was originally a more than two meters long weapon, but now it was like a harvesting short sickle. Han Xiao charged forward withrge steps, and the ground shook. As he shed again and again, the scythe and the Battleship Slicing de collided with each other rapidly.


    nk nk nk!


    The Battleship Slicing de left marks on the armor. Han Xiao knew Specialized Materials Science, so he hadbined Advanced Electromaism with it and created a new alloy. It was highly durable and had bonus damage reduction when filled with electric current. The strong materials used for the fusion had very high defensive capabilities. If it was normal iron, it would have been cut in half by Herlous long ago.


    The Great Mechanic Han was not so arrogant as to fight a Pugilist head-on in meleebat. He harassed with his Sonic Spheres, of which he could control seven at a time now because his nerves were stronger. He also used many other small weapons to keep attacking.


    After fighting for a while, the exoskeleton armor was covered in damage, and Herlous had also been shed by the scythe a few times—it was basically a draw.


    nk!


    After onest collision between the weapons, the two distanced themselves from one another like they could reach each other’s mind and stopped attacking at the same time.


    “Great fight.” Han Xiaoughed.


    Through thisbat, he had a more direct understanding of his ownbat power. The bottom line of grade B was 5,000 Ona, and grade A was 10,000 Ona. The calction of the Ona number was a curve—the higher the number, the bigger the difference between each point. Therefore, the difference between those of the same grade wasrger. Even if both were grade B, the destructive power of one with 5,000 Ona and another with 9,000 Ona waspletely different.


    Han Xiao’s Energy Rank was a little more than 5,300—a novice in grade B. Herlous has been in grade B for many years, but he had abandoned training. Thus, his Energy Rank was about 5,000 as well. However, with Herlous’ talent, he had a lot of room to grow.


    Supers with grade B strength were able to basically protect themselves in the gxy, but it was countless miles away from being able to actpletely carelessly. Han Xiao could only better prepare for the future if he knew his strength very clearly.


    Herlous took a deep breath and put his weapon away. Sparring should always stop at a suitable point—there was no need to decide a winner. He would not use his trump card, and he knew full well that Han Xiao definitely had more trump cards as a Mechanic. Just through the fight earlier, he had already felt quite the pressure. Han Xiao had numerous attacking methods—like a hedgehog, he could be hurt with just a little bit of carelessness... oh wait, he was already hurt.


    He dressed his wounds, and with the Pugilist’s physique, he would recover in a few hours. ck Star was an opponent on the same level as him—Han Xiao’sbat power had earned Herlous’ approval.


    Herlous was much less worried about Han Xiao’s safety. Originally, when he realized that he was the strongest in the ck Star Mercenary Group, he had felt somewhat uncertain no matter what. Now that there was finally someone with the same level ofbat power, Herlous’ mindset had changed. To put it more directly... originally, he had thought that his teammates were burdens, but now, they gradually turned into reliable friends.


    Furthermore, having a friend with the same level of strength meant havingmon conversation topics. They smiled at each other and felt a sense of trust in one another. The basis of trust could only be built between people with the same level of strength.


    Herlous volunteered to help move the equipment boxes, and the two of them walked out the simtion room side by side. Then they came to realize that Frenzied Sword and a few yers were waiting outside with surprised faces.


    “ck Phantom, you’re so strong!” Stars twinkled in Frenzied Sword’s eyes.


    Frenzied Sword was very hardworking, so he had wanted to find Herlous to trigger a tutoring event, but coincidentally, he had witnessed the earlier battle. He was stunned, as the mercenary group only disyed one grade B, Herlous, but Han Xiao had been fighting him evenly earlier. That meant that he had to be a B, too! Frenzied Sword immediately made a logical guess—it must have been because Han Xiao hid it during the test.


    In traditional ideals, the leader should be the strongest. Originally, when the captain was not as strong as the newly joined cadre, the yers had felt rather weird. Now, Frenzied Sword and the others felt much morefortable. The Great Mechanic Han’s image was strong and mysterious. In the yers’ eyes, he could do all sorts of unbelievable things, and what he just did matched his position in their hearts.


    Frenzied Sword was the first follower—he had witnessed Han Xiao’s rising experience step by step. Every time that he saw Han Xiao, he was d of the choice that he had made. However, after entering the gxy, Frenzied Sword had been somewhat upset. The team had expanded, and there were more people—he felt neglected.


    Back then, Han Xiao gave him these high reward missions with strange requirements every day, and Frenzied Sword could not get enough of it. However, the missions now were too formal—Frenzied Sword missed that feeling...


    However, at the same time, he was secretly delighted about it as well. No other yers had witnessed these strange missions, not even Hao Tian, Maple Moon, and Bun-Hit-Dog knew what Han Xiao had been like back then. He was the only one to have experienced it. This was a very interesting and fun experience, and he thought back on it often.


    Han Xiao raised an eyebrow and took a step to the side discreetly. Somehow, he felt that Frenzied Sword was looking at him weirdly.


    “Who’s ck Phantom?” Herlous was confused.


    Han Xiao waved. “Don’t mind it, that’s my nickname on my mother.”


    “Oh, I forgot, you’re famous on your mother.” Herlous discreetly decided to find other teammates to know more about Han Xiao’s past. He was very interested.


    There were few activities during the trip, and other than asionally sparring with Herlous, Han Xiao chatted with Gashley whenever he was free to hear more about Sky Ring’s history. They sometimes also talked about the knowledge of traveling through the universe.


    Gashley was an experienced mercenary—he had been to many ces and had a lot of stories to tell. In terms of words, the Great Mechanic Han never backed off, and in terms of knowledge, ten Gashleys tied together would not be able to match up to him. They chatted happily and had very pleasant conversations, gradually familiarizing themselves with one another.


    Most of the formal mercenaries were forthright and liked to make many friends.


    yersmunicated with the other Sky Ring mercenaries often. When talking about their armor, the Sky Ring mercenaries disyed the effect of the Sky Ring Armor. They were all products ofpression technology. By pressing down on the triangr crystal on their chest, the humble Sky Ringbat suit would expand and be various full forms. It was truly gorgeous.


    The Sunil Enlistee ss armor paled inparison, so the yers were all shocked and jealous.


    Seeing that the yers were tempted by their resources, the Sky Ring mercenaries tried to tempt the yers privately by promising a free Sky Ring Armor after joining Sky Ring. If their recruitment was sessful, the recruiter would be rewarded as well. Recruiting members from other mercenary groups was a verymon activity—it was free real estate. Many Sky Ring mercenaries also belonged to other mercenary groups originally, and they had been attracted to Sky Ring due to their better offer.


    However, this did not work on the yers at all. Tempted did not mean shaken; they were still waiting for better things to appear in the mercenary group shop. One day, there might be Sky Ring Armor in the ck Star shop too. Therefore, they were in no hurry. These yers trusted Han Xiao very much.


    The private invitations were all rejected, and the Sky Ring mercenaries were very surprised. They had not expected the mercenaries under ck Star to be so loyal, and shock naturally turned into respect for the group.


    When Han Xiao heard this from Bun-Hit-Dog, he felt warm inside. The faction unity was starting to shape slowly. This group of yers had backbone.


    ...


    At the same time, among some asteroid belt in the Fawn Gxy, a few scavenger spaceships were moving stealthily. They kept the information disruption force field activated at all times, maintaining their Stealth mode. This was the scavenger organization that had attacked the Silvers. It was a ve trader that often sold ves—they were notorious for their ruthless acts in the Shattered Star Ring.


    The hold of one of the spaceships consisted of prison cells used exclusively for containing ves. This group of scavengers had done quite a number of jobs before they attacked the Silvers. The not so valuable ‘goods’ were locked together, and the valuable ves were imprisoned alone. Naturally, the seventeen captured Silvers were imprisoned alone.


    A golden-skinned, messy-haired man walked into the prison area with a very gloomy look on his face. He was the leader of this group of scavengers, Peggy, a hybrid Godoran. The blood running through his veins was only one-eighth Godoran, but his appearance was still very simr to that of a Godoran. The Godoran genes were indeed very strong. He had tiny scales on different ces on his skin and vertical pupils like a snake, suggesting that he had some kind of Snakeman genes.


    The prisoners in therge cell immediately became riled up when they saw him.


    “Let me out!”


    “I’m an explorer of Holy Stone Civilization, how dare you detain me! Let me go now, or I will...”


    “Who are you going to sell us to?”


    The prisoners were very noisy, but Peggy ignored thempletely. He skipped therge cell area and walked into the corridor of the single person cells. He had yet to do a routine interrogation after catching these Silvers—it was now time to test the ‘goods’.
