Broken Star Ring, War Realm.

"...This is the situation. We have acquired a large number of business channels in a short period of time. It is conservatively estimated that our revenue this year will more than double."

In the palace, Joad read the report excitedly.

A tall and burly figure stood by the window, and the stars were reflected in Heboar's eyes, filled with deep emotions, silently listening to the report.

Joad continued reading, "The Black Star Legion completed its power transformation a few years ago and diversified its business, but we do not have the Evolution Cube. Although we have Krent's support, the power transformation is very slow and has been limited by the war mercenary organization.

Due to its nature, 70 to 80 percent of the funds are provided by various armed employment. The high maintenance costs of the troops have dragged down the flow of funds. Now we have joined forces with the Infinite Consortium. They have played a great help in the transformation of the power. We are gradually

It’s taking shape.”

The Black Star Legion and the War Realm are both Transcendent A Grade forces in this star domain, with different business directions. Under the leadership of Han Xiao, the Black Star Legion has completed the transformation of an armed organization into a diversified organization with the help of the Evolution Cube.

They also have financial resources, and the war field is known by its name as a model of militarism. The channels for realizing influence are quite single, which has always been a problem that has plagued the war field.

The help of the Infinite Financial Group has relieved Heboar's heartache. As long as this trend continues, the war field will no longer be a group of reckless men who only like to fight, and can truly compete with the Black Star Legion for the Shattered Star Ring private organization.

The leading position.

"Good job." Heboar turned around and spoke calmly.

Qiao De hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but be curious, "Your Majesty Tyrant, what agreement did you make with the Infinite Consortium? Why did they spare no effort to help?"

"It's just mutual benefit." Heboar glanced at him, "They want to enter Broken Starlink and use our influence to better enter the local market. Hmm, although their target is the collaborators of the Black Star Legion, but

We are also a Transcendent A Grade force, so joining us will not undermine these companies."

These are superficial reasons, and Heboar does not intend to tell his subordinates about the deeper transactions.

Joad rolled his eyes. Heboar did not say it clearly, but he vaguely guessed that the reason was not that simple. The Infinite Consortium did not seek cooperation with Black Star, but resorted to the next best thing to find them. It was obviously intended to target the Black Star Legion.

The possibility behind it made him break into a cold sweat just thinking about it. Qiao De didn't dare to continue to ask questions. He still wanted to live until the day he had a grandson.

Joad wiped his sweat and exited the room. Heboar was the only one left in the room. He looked out the window again. For a long time, the corners of his mouth curled up.

He kept his expression tight in front of his subordinates, seemingly calm, but in fact Heboar was very happy.

He doesn't care whether the Infinite Financial Group can succeed, as long as it can take advantage of the opportunity to develop. The losses suffered by the Black Star Legion are not within his scope of consideration. The two sides are allies of the empire, but they have always been competitors. He would like the Black Star Legion to lose more.

…

On the other side, Carrot, who rejected Han Xiao's solicitation, absentmindedly returned to the freshman dormitory of the martial arts department. Several roommates immediately gathered around him with curious expressions on their faces.

"Hey, what did the principal want to do with you just now?"

Carrot is relatively honest and has the lowest grades, so he is quite popular.

When get out of class was over just now, several roommates saw the principal coming to find Carrot, thinking that he had done something strange, and they were all concerned at this time.

Carrot scratched his head, "I didn't do anything, there was just someone who wanted to see me."

"Who can actually ask the principal to come to you?"

A handsome roommate looked suspicious. He had the best family background in the entire dormitory, but he was far from being in contact with the principal of the Imperial Psychic Academy. Carrot's family background was very average, which surprised him.

"He said his name was Black Star, and he wanted me to join the Black Star Legion." Carrot was helpless.

As soon as he finished speaking, several people suddenly opened their eyes with disbelief on their faces.

"That legendary Black Star?!"

"You're lying! Why would he look for you?!"

Seeing the expression on his roommate's face as if he had seen a ghost, Carrot was a little surprised, "You all know him?"

"Oh my God, you don't know who Black Star is, do you?" One roommate's eyes almost flew out.

"I...I haven't heard of it before." Carrot was embarrassed and looked curious, "Is he really a big shot?"

"More than just a big shot! That's a Transcendent A Grade powerhouse, the pinnacle of individual power, a being who can chat and laugh with the head of the empire!" One person spoke excitedly, recounting the history of Han Xiao's rise like a treasure trove. This is a true fan.

Several people surrounded Carrot and asked questions, and Carrot explained the process again. His expression skills were clumsy. It took a long time for everyone to understand that Black Star had nothing to do with his family, but just fell in love with him.

potential.

The handsome roommate felt uncomfortable, why should such an opportunity fall on such a bottomless idiot instead of him.

At this time, another roommate suddenly realized something, "You... did you accept Black Star's invitation?"

Facing the gazes of everyone, Carrot felt a little uncomfortable, "I, I didn't agree."

"You actually refused the opportunity to join the Black Star Legion?!" Several people opened their mouths and were speechless, with expressions of hatred on their faces, "You are stupid! This is an opportunity to change your destiny. Ordinary people like us can't do it at all.

You are not qualified to join the Black Star Legion, you, you actually..."

Seeing everyone saying this, Carrot was a little confused and had doubts about his choice.

Did I really do something wrong?

Just ask your family members.

With a confused look on his face, Carrot took out his communicator and ran to the side to contact his family. The handsome roommate looked at Carrot's back, a look of deep resentment and jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Why him? Why him! He got this kind of opportunity to change his destiny, but he didn't know how to cherish it. He was hopelessly stupid. How could the legendary big shot take a fancy to such a person!

He used to like Carrot quite a bit and was willing to take care of her, but now, all he feels for Carrot in his heart is disgust, and he doesn't like her no matter how he looks at her.

…

The next day, Han Xiao temporarily put aside the worries of the Infinite Financial Group and continued to enter the academy to observe Carrot and discovered an interesting situation.

After a day of fermentation, yesterday's incident has spread throughout the same class of Carrot. The attitude of other freshmen towards Carrot has changed. Some actively flattered, some secretly excluded, and some looked on with cold eyes.

"Because of my actions yesterday, his entire student career has been rewritten by me. It is impossible for him to be as transparent as he was in his previous life..." Han Xiao shook his head, having a better understanding of his status as a big shot.

Carrot's accumulation period is very long, and the impact of his early involvement in the turmoil on his growth is unknown, and it may be good or bad.

But for now, he is doing himself a favor. People who can become Transcendent A Grade have a toughness in their bones that does not give up easily. They will only face difficulties. Difficulties can only stimulate his potential. Carrot is not

Knowing that this trait lurks within him, perhaps experiencing fierce competition in the academy can help Carrot transform earlier.

"In that case, it's better to add more fire." Han Xiao scratched his chin.

After waiting for a while, the bell finally rang, and the students in the classroom filed out. Han Xiao did not hide it and stopped them in public.

"Carrot."

Hearing someone calling his name, Carrot paused. He turned around and saw that Han Xiao's clothes were the same as yesterday. Then he recognized Han Xiao's identity and couldn't help being surprised. He said: "

Black, Black Star, it’s you again.”

His voice was not loud, but it seemed to have a magical power. All the students around him stopped. Countless pairs of eager and excited eyes focused on Han Xiao, and they started to stir excitedly and whisper.

"You seem nervous?" Han Xiao glanced at everyone, ignored everyone, and smiled at Carrot. Although the virtual disguise prevented others from seeing his true appearance, it could still show his expression.

"Dad asked me to thank you, but he didn't let me have more contact with you." Carrot looked embarrassed.

Han Xiao didn't take it seriously. With a flick of his finger, the communicator in Carrot's bag flew into his hand. He operated it casually a few times before handing it back to Carrot.

"It doesn't matter, I'll leave you my number. If you change your mind one day, you can contact me at any time."

Carrot was flattered, then looked unsure, "I...I really don't understand why you value me so much?"

"I'm just passionate about developing more talent."

Han Xiao reached out and touched Carrot's head, taking advantage. Looking at the confused Carrot, he noticed the change in the eyes of the students around him, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

Hey, I'll help you strengthen the protagonist's template, no need to thank me.

After taking a deep look at Carrot, Han Xiao's figure disappeared without a trace in front of everyone.

The next moment, Han Xiao's figure appeared on the spaceship in outer space. He did not stay on the planet and let the fleet leave.

In the days that followed, Han Xiao continued to move around the empire. The higher-ups in the empire noticed that Han Xiao seemed to have been visiting different people. Some were middle- and low-level members of the empire, and some were ordinary people.

The empire's top officials understood Han Xiao's plan. Not only did the empire rely on Black Star for its future hopes, but Black Star was also planning for the future, considering investing in talents and considering its right to speak in the future.

But what surprised the empire's top officials was that Han Xiao chose someone who did not choose the current high-level personnel, but instead went to find some weird people. What's the reason for this?

The empire has inquired about everyone Han Xiao has visited. Some people do have extraordinary potential, but more targets cannot see much specialness.

The empire's top officials were confused. They couldn't figure out the basis on which Black Star chose its investment targets. It seemed too random...

As for Han Xiao, he visited many famous NPCs in the future one after another, which gave him a strange sense of déjà vu, as if he was playing a game called "Star Ocean Pokémon".

Most people refused to join the Black Star Legion like Carrot, but some potential players accepted Han Xiao's invitation and poached the corners of the empire. Of course, the people Han Xiao poached did not include the empire that would be in power in the future.

officials.

On the Broken Starlink side, Silvia followed Han Xiao's instructions and took measures to contact many legion cooperative organizations. With the help of the pressure brought by the Infinite Consortium, these organizations formed an alliance to jointly resist the acquisition by the Infinite Consortium.

plan.

This method has achieved certain results. Some legion collaborators decided to adopt the suggestion and united to form a loose alliance, which made the acquisition of Infinite Consortium more difficult and hindered the other party's acquisition momentum.

However, treating the symptoms rather than the root causes will at most turn the situation into a tug-of-war, and there is still the risk of defeating each one.

After all, the Legion is not a real consortium, and its capital is not as strong as the Infinite Consortium. These partners are independent and not subsidiaries of the Legion. In terms of business, this is the limit for the time being.

The most important thing is to rely on the partners to support themselves. For the rest, the legion can only start from those cooperative civilizations, provide some preferential policies, curb the relationships with unlimited financial groups, and indirectly help the companies that cooperate with the legion.

The only radical solution is for the Empire to open up the right to sell Evolutionary Totems. This is not something Han Xiao can decide alone. Since competition is unavoidable, Han Xiao does not dwell too much on it and silently exercises his strength, waiting for his strength to reach advanced tasks.
