That's right, a B-level superhuman!
This is Li Yuan's demonstration of strength to the outside world, and it is also the reason why Han Xiao respects him so much!
Of course, this is not his true full strength, but it is enough for the current stage.
"The file has been created and entered into the database."
"Red Emperor, welcome to the Mercenary Alliance."
Listening to the mechanical sound coming from the small ball, Li Yuan smiled slightly and looked around.
Upon hearing Li Yuan's rank, Aurora's eyes sparkled with admiration.
Hela's eyes held both admiration and a hint of resentment, a silent competition between them.
Han Xiao remained calm, clearly having anticipated this.
Those players who were only vaguely familiar with Li Yuan all wore expressions of adoration for their idol.
Seeing this, Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction and then clicked the "Form a Mercenary Group" option on the screen.
As the name suggests, a mercenary group is a team composed of hired mercenaries who can undertake mercenary missions with a minimum number of members.
Every mercenary can establish a mercenary group unless they have a history of heinous crimes, but they cannot establish a new one unless the original mercenary group is disbanded.
Furthermore, mercenary groups also have a rating system, which records the actions of each member within the group.
Each member's individual performance in hiring will also be counted towards the mercenary group's score.
If a member commits a negative act, it will also affect the mercenary group's credit rating.
Li Yuan's mercenary resume is currently blank, and the same is true for the mercenary group he founded.
"Please enter the name of your mercenary group," the little ball prompted again.
Li Yuan had already prepared a plan, so he directly filled in the name "Xuanji Mercenary Group," and then looked at Han Xiao.
Han Xiao nodded slightly, grabbed a small metal ball, and quickly began to manipulate it.
Soon, Li Yuan received a notification: "Black Star has joined the Xuanji Mercenary Group."
Following closely behind, Hela, Aurora, and the other players also joined in one after another.
Thus, the Xuanji Mercenary Group was officially established.
Li Yuan searched for the missions posted by the Sunil tribe in the Mercenary Alliance's mission list and found that the requirement for applying was that the mercenary group's credit score be at least 120 points.
As a newly created mercenary group, the Xuanji Mercenary Group currently only has an initial credit score of 10 points.
Credit points represent the reputation of a mercenary group; credit can only be accumulated by completing mercenary tasks.
120 credit points are easy to accumulate. Li Yuan granted Han Xiao permission to assign tasks to the players who were looking for something to do, allowing them to accept some simple and safe daily jobs in the hub hall.
These daily jobs are like beginner quests, consisting of cleaning, logistics, errands, and maintenance tasks. Players don't need to leave the Juberly Hub and can easily complete them by spending some time.
Although each task provides very few credit points, as the saying goes, many small things add up. With dozens of players working together, they can quickly accumulate 120 credit points.
So Li Yuan got too lazy to do the work himself and took Hela and Aurora for a stroll around the Juberly Hub.
Han Xiao, on the other hand, rented a mechanical modification room and began upgrading his equipment.
In just one day, thanks to the players' tireless efforts, the mercenary group's credit score has already accumulated to 120 points.
At Li Yuan's command, the group immediately returned to the Mercenary Alliance's main hall.
He grabbed a terminal, turned on the screen, found the mission issued by the Sunil tribe, glanced at it casually, discussed it with Han Xiao, and then selected one of them.
As mentioned before, the original home of the Sunir people was destroyed by the Dark Star. With the help of the Godora people, the surviving Sunir people migrated to another inhabited planet and renamed it Sunir Star.
Sunil is home to a large number of native beasts, most of which are docile. However, due to the influence of certain special minerals underground, every few years the beasts on the planet will enter a period of inexplicable frenzy, causing damage to the Sunil people's new home.
At this time of year, Sunil warriors who have been away from home will return to their tribe to defend their homeland and recruit a large number of mercenaries to fight alongside them.
From a rational perspective, it might be more suitable for the Sunil people to live on a different planet.
But last time, they had already migrated to their current planet Sunil with the humanitarian aid of Godora.
If they were to ask the Godora civilization for help again, many Sunil people felt that they would become completely dependent on Godora, which they could not accept psychologically.
Therefore, in the end, they could only continue to resist the beast calamity on Sunil Star and barely survive.
Recently, during the outbreak of the beast plague, the Sunil tribe has issued many missions to recruit people to help them defend their homeland.
Li Yuan's task application received a quick response and was successfully approved.
The mission of the Xuanji Mercenary Group is to help the Sunil people resist the beast scourge and defend their main city, Senyuan City.
Seeing the task notifications displayed on their personal terminals, the players were eager to try and were very excited.
A hint of anticipation also appeared in the eyes of Hela and Aurora.
Seeing this, Li Yuan exchanged a glance with Han Xiao, nodded, and then waved his hand: "Let's go."
Three days later, the mercenary group arrived at Sunil Star aboard their spaceship.
From space, this is a verdant forest planet, teeming with life.
It gives people a very comfortable feeling.
After entering the atmosphere, the spacecraft flew along its predetermined route to the airspace above a city located on a plain.
As the airdrop pod landed, Li Yuan and his group finally arrived at the mission location, Morihara City.
As soon as I stepped out of the cabin, I saw squads of Sunil soldiers wearing heavy individual armor patrolling back and forth.
The Sunil race is a purely technological civilization, with mechanical technology far more advanced than that of Aquamarine.
This is also why Han Xiao proposed accepting the Sunil tribe as employees; he could gain some very good knowledge and skills there.
Li Yuan agreed to accept the job because, apart from Han Xiao, most of the team members could gain benefits beyond the mission rewards during this mission.
For Hela, this mission also offers the opportunity to increase her strength by slaughtering wild beasts.
As for the players, needless to say, they don't pick and choose any tasks.
For him, the gains were also considerable, perhaps even exceeding those of Han Xiao and Hela.
With such a multi-pronged approach, the cost-effectiveness of this mission is incredibly high.
Ding Ding Deng!
A heavily armored officer named Sunil walked over, glanced at Li Yuan and his group, and said briefly, "Welcome to the Xuanji Mercenary Group."
"The beast calamity hasn't started yet. Please follow me to the mercenary rest area."
Li Yuan and his group followed the officer into a private hall.
By this time, a large number of mercenaries had gathered here, making a great commotion.
After bringing Li Yuan and the others here, the officer walked to the podium at the front of the hall and said in a deep voice, "You are all mercenaries who have come here on a mission. If you want to get your reward, please do your best and work together with us to eliminate this beast plague."
After a brief opening, he changed the subject and got to the point: "Deep beneath this planet grows veins of Whisperstones, which possess the power to corrupt the mind."
"The fusion of mineral veins across the planet creates a psychic force field, exerting a subtle psychic influence on the planet's ecosystem."
"The psychological undercurrents formed by the Whispering Stones erupt every few years, which we call the tides," and this is the root cause of the beast uprisings.
"This time, the tide of the psychic field has arrived more than half a year earlier than usual. The Observation Department predicts that the beast calamity will fully erupt within the next 7 to 13 days."
"At that time, our enemies will be all the beasts on this planet."
At this point, the officer turned on the projector, displayed pictures and videos of various wild animals, and began his explanation.
Clearly, these are the enemies we will encounter later.
The Whispering Stone has existed on this planet for countless years, and the spiritual energy it emits has subtly influenced the evolutionary tendencies of living things, making the beasts on the entire planet extremely dangerous and incredibly powerful in combat.
After Officer Sunil introduced over a hundred different kinds of beasts, he distributed the information to every mercenary present and assigned them tasks in detail.
As the last line of defense, Senyuan City established five lines of defense from the outside in. The Xuanji Mercenary Group was responsible for the second to last line of defense, which was relatively safe.
After familiarizing themselves with their new roles, the mercenary group temporarily disbanded and everyone went to rest.
Han Xiao, on the other hand, took the opportunity, led by the Green Knight who had also returned to his home planet to participate in the defense mission, to go into the city and get what he wanted.
As time went by, the effects of the "tides" gradually became apparent.
Everyone on this planet experienced that strange feeling, as if someone was whispering vaguely in their mind, in a language they had never heard before, yet somehow seemed to understand.
However, once you try to listen carefully, you can't hear anything at all.
This strange feeling constantly affects one's emotions, making one inexplicably irritable.
This is the mental undercurrent formed by the Whisper Stone. Living in this brainwashing-like whisper for a long time, it's no wonder that the beasts of the entire planet have become what they are today.
However, this is only the general public's opinion, and it does not include Li Yuan.
As a telekinetic master, he was in his element here, and even his telekinetic abilities improved significantly.
-
Woo-woo-woo—
On this day, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in Morihara Castle and the surrounding military bases.
The meaning is self-evident and needs no further explanation.
The beast plague has arrived!
Suddenly, the already tense atmosphere changed abruptly, becoming even more grim and solemn!
The soldiers of Sunil's own tribe hurriedly returned to their posts, and the mercenaries also went to their assigned positions.
Various armored vehicles and tanks started up one after another, and countless floating gun turrets rose from the ground, their muzzles pointing to designated positions.
hum!
Amidst a deafening roar, ripples of air spread in all directions, stirring up billowing dust. Nine interstellar warships slowly floated into the air, guarding the skies above Morihara City like nine aerial fortresses.
Not long after, a slight tremor was felt on the ground, which then grew stronger and stronger until the sound of running echoed from all directions!
The forests in all directions shook violently, and the deep or sharp roars of ferocious beasts turned into sound waves that resounded throughout the heavens and the earth!
Roar!
The roars of the beasts were like rolling thunder, accompanied by the fall of countless trees, and an endless stream of wild animals burst out of the forest!
Like a tsunami, countless wild beasts, large and small, crowded together, forming a "giant wave" that roared and rushed over.
"Fire!" Officer Sunil roared in unison.
The next moment, countless shells were fired simultaneously, and the entire defensive perimeter resounded with the dense sounds of shells leaving their barrels and explosions, the sound so deafening that it even dispersed the clouds in the sky.
Five lines of defense were set up outside Morihara Castle.
The first line of defense is the impact-resistant rear area, which is equipped with a large number of minefields and automated turrets to reduce the density of the beast horde as much as possible in the first instance.
The second line of defense is a buffer zone composed of bunkers, trenches, traps, high-voltage protective walls, and other defensive measures. Various high-powered weapons will be used here to deal a head-on blow to wild animals.
The third line of defense is the armored forces of the Sunil tribe, who will unleash countless metal storms on any beasts that charge close at them.
The last two lines of defense were artillery positions, providing fire support to the front lines.
Li Yuan and his mercenaries were stationed on the penultimate line of defense as reinforcements, ready to fill any gaps at any time.
As a mechanic, Han Xiao was naturally assigned a defensive heavy cannon, since mechanical superhumans can increase the power of mechanical weapons and deal higher damage.
Boom boom boom!
Countless burning arcs of light shot up from the defensive line, spreading across the sky and exploding into plumes of thick smoke and fire mixed with red and black amidst the beast horde.
Despite this, the beasts remained fearless, charging madly forward against the steel torrent.
Players surrounded Han Xiao, wielding various weapons and unleashing a barrage of firepower on the beast, reaping experience points.
Li Yuan stood in front of Aurora to protect her, and Hela stood beside her as well.
"Go for it. Your abilities will be greatly enhanced here. Such opportunities don't come often. Go for it. Don't worry about Aurora. I'll protect her personally," Li Yuan said, turning to Hela.
Hela nodded, took a deep breath, a dark red light flashed in her eyes, and a dark red aura erupted from her body, transforming into a whirlwind that swept towards the beast horde.
Meanwhile, Li Yuan used his telekinetic abilities to sweep around the area while firing lines of fire to kill any survivors who managed to escape, in coordination with artillery fire.
Among the members of the Xuanji Mercenary Group present, perhaps only Aurora was unable to gain any tangible improvement on the battlefield.
But it doesn't matter, there is a mysterious connection between her and Hela, and as Hela becomes stronger, she will also benefit.
