Chapter 737 Change
The home planet of the Seablue Federation, the Federation's First Elementary Academy.
In the classroom, many students aged seven or eight followed the teacher on the podium to read the textbook aloud.
"...In 694 of the Star Sea Calendar, the 'Government Unification' movement occurred on Seablue Star. Driven by the black star, the social structure changed drastically. The former six countries were replaced by the current Seablue Federation. This is the beginning of the seablue star civilization process The inflection point, the same year is also the first year of the Seablue Federation..."
"Black Star, whose real name is Han Xiao, is a member of the Seablue Star, a former member of the Germination Organization, who later abandoned the dark and turned to the light. He is now the protector of the Seablue Star civilization. He has the highest veto power in the Federation Council and is our biggest backer on the other side of the starry sky. He guided Seablue Star's nearly twenty years of drastic changes in civilization have brought us tickets to the interstellar society, and so far, the Black Star Legion still maintains a close cooperative relationship with the Federation..."
A male student with freckles raised his hand and asked curiously, "Is Black Star still alive?"
The class roared with laughter.
"Of course Nello, Black Star is a strong man in the universe with a long lifespan. When we all die of old age, he will still be alive." The teacher nodded with a smile.
"I, I thought that only those who died were considered great..." The student named Nilo blushed.
The teacher shook his head, "Black Star and Federation Chairman Bennett are best friends. The landmark portrait in the central garden is exactly the statue that Bennett erected for Black Star. If you are curious, you can log on to the Interstellar Network and search for Black Star's deeds. There are public information on it, he is the most powerful person who has walked out of Seablue Star, and he is the glory of our entire planet."
The afternoon class ended soon, and the students went home after school. Nilo followed the flow of people to the school gate.
The school is located in the middle of a building. Standing on the wide platform at the gate of the school and looking around, you can have a panoramic view of the whole city. The high-rise buildings are scattered like a steel forest full of sci-fi atmosphere, suspended in anti-gravity The cars flowed continuously along the track planned by the buoys.
In the past ten years, Seablue Star has been in constant contact with interstellar technology, and some common equipment in the sea of stars has entered every aspect of people's lives. Now Seablue Star has built many high-tech cities, and the style of the cities has gradually changed under the influence of the interstellar consortium. .
Thriving and full of vigor.
Private anti-gravity suspension vehicles of various styles were waiting for his children outside the school. Nilo boarded an unlicensed suspension vehicle, shuttled through the urban area, and finally entered the Seablue Federal Government Affairs Building.
Nilo followed a man who looked like a secretary to an office. Bennett was looking at the documents inside. Compared with ten years ago, he had more wrinkles and gradually appeared old. Hearing the sound, he looked up. Seeing Nilo, he laughed.
"After school? Sit down first, I'll take care of what I'm doing before I take you to dinner."
"Understood, Dad." Nilo put down his schoolbag, sat obediently on the sofa, dangling his calves, looking around.
Ten years ago, under the instruction of Han Xiao, Bennett served as the chairman of the Seablue Federation and completed the unification of the planetary regime. After the initial turbulent period, Seablue Star entered the right track and developed steadily, and the people recuperated and recovered from the previous trauma.
The mother planet ushered in peace, and Bennett's wish was fulfilled. As the chairman of the federation, he needed to start a family, so he got married and had children. He is also a martial artist after all. child.
"Father, today the teacher told us the story of Black Star." Nilo said lively.
"Oh? What did he teach you?" Bennett was very interested.
Nilo repeated it in a childish voice, and asked curiously: "Is Black Star your friend, dad?"
"Yeah, I've known him for almost twenty years." Bennett was rather nostalgic.
"Is he really that good? Is he better than you, Dad?"
Nilo's eyes widened. In his heart, his father, as the chairman of the federation, was the most powerful person in the world.
"He's much better than me." Bennett laughed.
beep -
At this time, the communicator rang.
Bennett saw the incoming call, was slightly startled, and waved to Nilo.
"Come here, aren't you curious about Black Star, come and see him."
After picking up Nilo and putting it on his lap, Bennett turned on the video, and Han Xiao's face appeared on the screen.
"Long time no see, almost ten years." Bennett laughed.
"Yes." Han Xiao nodded, seeing Nilo, his eyes lit up, "This child is..."
"Well, this is my child Nelo."
Bennett smiled, touched Nilo's head, and urged, "Call uncle."
"Hello, Uncle." Nilo greeted obediently.
Han Xiao looked surprised, "When did you get married, why didn't you inform me?"
"You're so busy, I don't want to bother you with this little thing."
"What is this called? We are old friends, and you didn't even notify me of the good news. You let me down." Han Xiao looked dissatisfied.
Bennett laughed and didn't care.
Although he didn't say anything, he knew that he and Han Xiao were no longer at the same level.
Aquamarine's daily affairs are undoubtedly trivial matters for Han Xiao, and Bennett doesn't want to disturb him because of these trivial affairs, and the contact between the two is getting less and less.
"Are you the person written in the textbook..." Nilo stared at Han Xiao curiously.
"Textbook?" Han Xiao was taken aback.
Bennett explained it with a smile, and Han Xiao burst out laughing.
I didn't expect that I would be written into the history textbook.
This feeling of being remembered... seems pretty good.
After chatting for a few words, Bennett suddenly said, "I want Nelo to be your adoptive son, what do you think?"
Han Xiao was a little surprised and nodded. He and Bennett have a good friendship and are willing to be the child's godfather.
Bennett patted Nilo, "Quick, call foster father."
"Father...father." Nilo's tone was a little stiff. Han Xiao was a stranger to him who had never met before.
Bennett smiled, put down Nelo, and let him go to the side to play, and then started talking about business.
"What do you want from me?"
Han Xiao: "Nothing, I just want to ask about Seablue Star's current situation."
Seablue Star is one of the players' birthplaces, and it is very important to send troops to the Black Star Legion, which is equivalent to his logistics base.
Before opening up new vegetable fields, he wanted to confirm the situation of the old vegetable fields.
Bennett nodded and introduced the current situation of Seablue Star in detail.
With the light of the Black Star Legion, Aquamarine is transforming from a surface civilization to an interstellar civilization. In recent years, it has tried to colonize nearby unmanned planets.
A considerable part of the 3.0 version of Mengxin was born on Seablue Star and was recruited by the Black Star Legion branch.
Overall, things are looking good.
Han Xiao was very satisfied, and asked: "You have done a good job, now Planet Aquamarine doesn't need you to worry about it, do you want to come to the universe to have a look?"
If I remember correctly, Bennett also yearned for the universe, so Han Xiao sent out an invitation.
However, to his surprise, Bennett shook his head and refused.
"I have decided to stay in the Seablue Federation, the universe... I don't want to go."
"Why? I remember you used to..."
"I have a new wish. The Seablue Federation is still very young. I hope to care for it and dedicate the rest of my life to it." Bennett smiled, with deep wrinkles, "I am old and have a family , I have a child, I don’t want to fight anymore, I am very satisfied with my life now. Although the universe is magnificent, it is enough to have you, please help me see the world.”
Han Xiao heard the words and gave up the idea of dissuading him.
Everyone has their own aspirations. Bennett spent the first half of his life in war and turmoil. Now he has found his belonging. My hometown is where my heart is at ease. There is no need for him to reverse other people's wishes.
"I see."
"Actually, there is one more thing I want to ask you." Bennett said.
"you say."
"The only thing I'm worried about is Nilo. He still has a great future. He shouldn't stay here with me. After I die, I hope you can take him by your side, take care of him, and train him." Benny His eyes were full of kindness.
"You are going to die! Why did you suddenly support Gu?!" Han Xiao's scalp was numb.
"After all, I am different from you. My lifespan is limited. I don't know when I will die, so it is better to tell you earlier." Bennett smiled openly, "Can you promise me?"
"No problem, I still have the money to support one person." Han Xiao raised his brows and jokingly said, "When you die, do you want me to take care of your widow?"
"...I won't bother you." Bennett's mouth twitched.
...
After chatting for more than half an hour, Han Xiao hung up the communication, his smile faded, and he sighed.
Not all have the long lifespan he has.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are the fate of normal people.
Bennett is getting older and will one day die.
Still, a little sad.
However, even if one day he passes away, the cause he loves will remain.
"Seablue Federation..."
Han Xiao nodded secretly.
With his protection, Seablue Star civilization will go farther and farther than the previous life...
...
With the reputation foundation laid by the previous two versions, 3.0 has become a blowout period for new players. According to statistics, more than tens of millions of new players have poured in so far, and the number is still growing.
Due to the impact of Huaxia's victory in the last professional league, the Shattered Starlink division attracted the most players. About three months after the opening of 3.0, the number of new players has reached nearly two million.
Half a month later.
Gron star cluster, Deird star.
The public airport lobby has become a player plaza, where there are all kinds of vendors, those looking for team formation, those looking to lead, and those looking for leveling.
Countless players gather here, noisy and crowded, and the walls are transparent viewing windows, from which you can overlook the surface of Star Deird, or enjoy the magnificent cosmic starry sky.
As an interstellar transit station, Deirdre Star has a lot of job opportunities. After three months of experience, these more than one million newbies, under the task reward of level 3.0, the initial level has risen rapidly, and now the average level is 30. Level and above, the first echelon has reached more than forty levels.
Different from the hard-pressed Seablue Star players in version 1.0, Deird Star players are interstellar citizens from birth, with rich information channels, and they can check interstellar information at will.
After three months of exploration, Deird star players have found multiple development directions.
At this very moment, in the bustling public airport lobby, there is a team of players discussing their future.
"We should join the Odegen Consortium and help them fight against the nearby star thief gang. This is the main mission of the planet, and it is definitely the best choice."
"What's the future of joining a consortium? It's better to be a freelance mercenary. I read the strategies of those old players on the forum, and they all say that being a mercenary is the best."
"I checked the information, and now the largest mercenary organization in the Shattered Starlink is the Mercenary Allied Forces. I heard that someone has triggered a new main line in it. If you want to do it, you can become a mercenary of this organization."
"It's better to go to Colton's side, embrace the thighs of those old players, and join the Black Star Legion to participate in the main line of the secret war."
"The Black Star Legion is good, but the inter-star cluster flight is a bit expensive."
"I think it's better not to go there, we have a new mainline task here, why go far away."
"Why don't you come up with something more challenging? It's the so-called gold belt for murder and arson, let's become star robbers..."
"Hehe, do you think we can afford a spaceship?"
"Stupid you, since you want to be a Star Thief, why can't you afford it if you can't afford it?"
The team of players discussed for a long time, and suddenly found that the noisy environment around them quieted down at some point.
Several people turned their heads in astonishment.
I saw the entire hall, whether it was players or NPCs, millions of people raised their heads and looked at the dome viewing window of the airport hall, with their mouths wide open and expressions of shock on their faces.
what happened?
Several people also raised their heads to see the scene outside the viewing window, and their eyeballs suddenly widened.
A huge armed satellite fortress appeared at an unknown time, occupying the entire field of view of the viewing window, and the volume of the public airport is less than one-twentieth of this satellite fortress!
Thousands of warships escorted the satellite fortress, approached slowly, and stopped in the outer space orbit of Deird star.
The outer armor of these warships is painted with the same mark, as long as players who often read posts on the forum, they will not be unfamiliar with this mark.
This is the logo of the Black Star Legion!
The Black Star Legion directly moved a satellite branch over!
The millions of new players in the airport lobby are unbelievable and at a loss.
Isn't the Black Star Legion fighting in another star cluster... How did they come here? !
