After hanging up the call with Leif, Han Xiao stopped repairing the mecha. He left the workshop and came to the bridge command room. He issued a summons order for all cadres of the fleet to come over for a meeting.

Cleaning the battlefield does not require cadres to keep an eye on it. After the order was issued, the officers of the fleet came to the flagship one after another and gathered in the command room. After entering the door, they all nodded to Han Xiao.

Han Xiao nodded in response to the veteran cadres under his command, including the dejected Lackey, the calm and reliable Melos, the graceful Silvia, the reckless Harmon, as well as Campe and Marion who joined three years ago.

Mischich three natural disasters and so on, there are many talents.

In addition to the cadres of the legion, there are several other members of Organization Zero in the expedition fleet. They have been fighting side by side for half a year, and they have become very familiar with each other and started chatting with each other.

After everyone arrived, Han Xiao knocked on the table, and everyone's chatter suddenly disappeared, and everyone looked over.

"The purpose of convening everyone this time is to inform you of the next step. I just received news from Amethyst. They are very satisfied with our results in the past six months and decided to recruit us back and give us a long vacation. Our mission is over.

, you can rest for a while."

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed.

"Great, I haven't been home for half a year. My wife keeps asking me every day when I will go back. Haha, now I can give her a surprise." A key member of another force spoke first, with a happy tone.

.

"Maybe she gave you a surprise..." Lackey patted his shoulder comfortingly.

"Thank you." The man said with a grateful look on his face. This would make him more stable.

"I can finally rest..."

Silvia's eyes were filled with sparkles, she bit her lower lip lightly, covered her heart with her hands, and almost cheered loudly.

Han Xiao glanced at her and nodded secretly. In the past three years, Silvia has devoted herself to actual combat, walking on the edge of life and death. Her growth rate is far faster than before, and she has entered a period of rapid growth.

In the previous life, Silvia's version 3.0 was a natural disaster, and she was known as the "Mechanical Female Knight". Over the past three years, this potential has gradually emerged. Silvia used to be envious of Fording's terrifying talent, but now she

Similar talents were also discovered.

Han Xiao estimated that Silvia might really be able to grow from B-level to A-level during the update period, and she would still have nearly seven years to grow.

However, Silvia's biggest change is her appearance. She has undergone a major transformation. In the past three years, Silvia has gradually grown out. She has long, flaxen-brown curly hair, a tall figure, and a snow-white complexion. As the saying goes, one white skin covers all ugliness, and she

Not only is she not ugly, her appearance is also very outstanding. Her facial features are not only three-dimensional and beautiful, but when combined together, she still has the kind of pure and charming appearance. Her heroic temperament reveals a natural charm, which makes her perfectly fair and beautiful.

And she doesn't wear heavy alloy mechas. She mainly uses thin combat uniforms and mainly shields, so she looks quite cool, revealing large areas of her hot figure wrapped in high-strength fiber tight-fitting combat uniforms, which makes her look strange.

The style and charm value have increased by at least 30 percentage points.

Beautiful women were always pleasing to the eye, and he couldn't help but sigh. Silvia was a frequent visitor to the book world in her previous life, and she probably wouldn't be able to escape in this life. It just depends on when some salty players discover her.

"Lao Mei, after you return, you take over Leonard's work and check the industrial development of each galaxy." Han Xiao turned to Melos and ordered.

"Okay." Melos nodded.

Melos has always been an important management cadre. In order to temper himself in the past six months, he has followed the fleet on expeditions. The daily affairs of the Black Star Legion have been temporarily handed over to Leonard and a group of affairs officers at the headquarters, and they regularly report the situation to Han Xiao.

In contrast, Han Xiao still believes more in Melos's ability to do things. Apart from playing cards, Lao Mei is quite reliable in other aspects. He has gained a lot in the past six months and has become a leader in the B+ rank. He has finally started to

It has touched the threshold of natural disaster level.

In his previous life, Melos was buried early by the beast tide on Sunil Planet, and Han Xiao didn't know if he had the potential to become a natural disaster grade.

However, since he is a protagonist with a lucky halo, his talents and qualifications are far superior to those of ordinary people, even if they are not as good as Fording's old sister.

…

After giving instructions, Han Xiao ended the meeting.

At this time, the battlefield has been cleared, and the fleet sets off to return to Colton.

Han Xiao locked himself in the office and made statistics on the current operating status of the Black Star Legion.

In the past three years, the development of the Black Star Legion has gone smoothly. The importance of the mercenary business has receded to third place. The industry has gradually completed its transformation. It is no longer a mercenary group and has finally become a large-scale private armed organization.

The original mercenary business was separated separately to form the mercenary branch of the Black Star Legion. It followed the form of a mercenary group and specialized in the mercenary business. Therefore, it satisfied the wishes of many free mercenaries and did not lose many talents. On the contrary,

Increased attractiveness to mercenaries.

The mercenary alliance of Broken Starlink has been established in prototype, but it has not yet been officially listed. The Black Star Legion is currently one of the planned high-level seats.

Tianhuan, Blade and other large armies are using Han Xiao's name to recruit people to join guilds all over the star field. At the same time, they also have to negotiate with the Mercenary Union Alliance. This is a large union at the cosmic level. Broken Star Ring is just a mercenary union.

If one of the divisions of the Military Union Alliance wants to form an alliance, it must pass the Union Alliance level.

The mercenary business has been relegated to third place, and the current main business of the Black Star Legion is Amethyst's long-term cooperation treaty and its secret war.

The second most important business is mining. Dozens of galaxy-level civilizations have invited him to support him in establishing sub-bases in their respective territories and allow him to mine resource planets. The profits in this area are the most terrifying and are currently the largest for the Black Star Legion.

source of financial income.

With the establishment of sub-bases in dozens of galaxies, the territory of the Black Star Legion has expanded to more than half of the Colton Star Cluster.

There are so many galaxies far apart from each other. If you use your own funds to build a base, the cost will be very huge. If you include maintenance fees, logistics fees, etc., this will make the legion's capital flow unhealthy and even lead to disconnection.

Condition.

Although the contract fees given by these galaxy-level civilizations are considerable, they cannot support the huge expenses. Not to mention that if you want to mine resource planets, you will have to invest more costs, recruit a large number of manpower, and manufacture or purchase various

Mining equipment is another terrifying expense.

Although the galaxy-level civilization will provide certain support, it will naturally not fully help the Black Star Legion collect its own resource planets. It will only provide certain manpower and certain equipment so that the Black Star Legion can collect a resource planet. This is overwhelming.

.

Collecting resource planets requires a huge initial investment, and most forces are unable to do so. If only the Legion's funds are used to mine independently, the level of development of the value of the resource planet mining rights will be extremely small, even if there are members of the Black Spirit Tribe.

The same goes for help. Although the Black Spirits are good at mining, they are still very backward after all. They were killed in a wave on Sunil Planet, and the population has not recovered in just a few years.

However, Han Xiao took a fancy to the profit-seeking characteristics of businessmen, and promoted a wave of mining rights contracts between the Black Star Legion and various galaxy-level civilizations, and conducted public bidding. The bidding targets were consortiums across the star field. These consortiums knew that the resource planets contained

With huge profits, everyone flocked to the company to seek cooperation.

Of course, Han Xiao cannot resell the mining rights of civilization, but there is no problem in recruiting people to cooperate and let the consortium provide funds to help the Black Star Legion carry out large-scale, multi-planet mining, and the collected resources can be sold through the channels of these consortiums.

, let them earn a commission.

Han Xiao separately bid for cooperative mining quotas in different star systems, clearly delineating the areas where each consortium is responsible for investment and sales.

In this way, although the profit is not as good as the income from independent mining, it can accumulate quantitative changes.

The influx of large amounts of funds has enabled the Black Star Legion to complete business expansion in multiple galaxies in three years. The sub-bases in each galaxy are mining six or seven resource planets. The actual income is several blocks higher than that of independent mining, maximizing

Improve the utilization rate of mining rights.

The number of cooperating consortiums alone has jumped from single digits to one hundred and twenty-seven, all of which are large consortiums with well-known names in the star field.

So in just three years, the Black Star Legion has grown in size like a snowball!

War, mining, and employment are the current three major businesses of the Black Star Legion. They are developing in a diversified manner, so they show certain characteristics of a consortium. The official members have already exceeded the tens of millions, and the daily managers who handle chores have also become important.

corps members.

Because the scale has skyrocketed, the number of tasks that have followed has also increased exponentially. There are a lot of problems that need to be solved every day, which makes Han Xiao experience the pain of an interstellar contractor. If only this thing was as simple as fighting. He

He had no choice but to basically leave the specific matters to his subordinates to handle. He only needed to control the macro blueprint of the power and go out to fight frequently. He didn't have much else to do.

"The three major businesses of the Legion are on the right track, with abundant financial resources and a virtuous cycle. I just need to maintain the stability of the Legion."

Han Xiao pondered.

Since the first wave of profits from mining the resource planet came into his account more than two years ago, he has rarely looked at the amount of deposits... Anyway, he knows that as long as he does not do charity, the funds will basically not be spent.

This vacation was rare. He didn't want to worry about the chores of the faction, but planned to use it to complete the inheritance mission.

In the past three years, Han Xiao found a task in his memory that could obtain the level 180 silver inheritance blueprint. The task process can be summarized as passing a series of tests and working hard to gain the approval of the inheritor.

Because this is a level 180 blueprint task, the process is extremely cumbersome, and the task location is in another star cluster.

Han Xiao has not taken many vacations in the past three years. He has only reached the seventh ring of this task and has not yet completed it. He estimates that this long vacation should be able to complete this task and obtain the inheritance blueprint.

Obtaining the blueprint is only the first step, and the orange finished product must be created. Han Xiao did not want to use the mission settlement card. In order to upgrade cutting-edge knowledge, he spent a lot of experience upgrading skills. Although he recovered a lot by killing the natural disaster level,

But the experience reserve at this time can only be upgraded to about ten levels at most.

There are still seven years before the opening of 3.0. There is not enough experience. There is basically no chance of super A. The current strength is relatively sufficient, so Han Xiao feels that there is no need to look for mission settlement cards to quickly change jobs... After all, the 200-level advanced mission is

A hurdle.

While thinking about it, Han Xiao opened the panel and browsed through the task list. There were many tasks on it.

There has been no movement in the fourth ring of [Prey]. For unknown reasons, Wan Ying has been silent for three years, which makes Han Xiao very wary. It feels like the calm before the storm, and the longer it brews, the more terrifying it becomes.

Han Xiao has never had the time to do the S-level [Bloodline] mission in Gedora, and he always feels that it will be very troublesome. If he has this time, he might as well use it to develop and expand the Black Star Legion. The benefits will definitely be much greater than the mission rewards.

Aroshia's personal mission is still delayed, but Fording's hidden mission [Decision] has been completed in three years, reaching the fourth result... Fording and Chenxing are getting along, and I really sleep with myself.

The mission rewards are quite a lot. It gives a lot of experience and a chance for random rewards. The favorability of Fording and Morningstar has increased significantly, making Han Xiao feel like a matchmaker between the two parties.

Is this considered narcissism?

Han Xiao simply couldn’t imagine what the wedding ceremony would be like if these two people were to get married... It would definitely be very eye-catching!

Didi

While looking at the panel, Han Xiao's communicator suddenly rang.

I picked it up and looked at it, but it was a message from Aesop.

"Verna...huh? Do you want me to hand over the work and train my successor in advance?"
Chapter completed!
