This is very important, so it cannot be wasted.
Han Xiao’s eyes became firm. He grabbed tightly onto the Interstellar Beast’s crystal, and a wave of emotions were transmitted from the crystal to his mind.
It was begging.
The Interstellar Beast was begging him for mercy.
Han Xiao ignored it completely, and Void Jet Spray exploded in his palm.
Boom!
The crystal, already covered in cracks, shattered into pieces and fell into Han Xiao’s hands. The violet light under the Interstellar Beast’s skin faded. Life escaped from this Space Creature.
This crystal was Interstellar Beast’s life core, and it was also the most important material.
_____________________
You have killed a Space Creature.
[Legendary Hunter] Milestone activated.
Current Progress: 1/5 (Kill 5 special creatures)
_____________________
This was a Legendary Milestone. Upon completion, corresponding Legendary Points would be granted. The special creatures stated here were all sorts of rare and special creatures including Space Creatures that had Boss level attributes. Also, Bosses in dungeons were not counted.
Luckily, there were many monsters in Galaxy. Even by the latest version that Han Xiao had played in his previous life, despite the game being played by countless players for many years, there were still cases of players killing a special creature occasionally. After all, there would always be new creatures being born in the universe. Of course, the competition to kill them was very intense.
Some special Legendary Points could open a certain corresponding storyline. [Legendary Hunter] was one of them—it was similar to a title.
Han Xiao stowed the crystal, pulled out his scythe, and sliced the Interstellar Beast’s carcass. He quickly collected the important parts. An Interstellar Beast’s carcass would not rot easily and could be kept for a very long time.
Very soon, this Interstellar Beast was only left with an incomplete carcass.
“Sigh…” Lenny’s face was filled with regret, but she did not have a problem with it. This beast was Han Xiao’s trophy to start with, so he was free to do whatever he wanted with it.
This time, Herlous finally brought the other Observers over.
The Godorans were all surprised. Moments ago, they had still been trapped in the hot spring and singing, but the next moment, they had suddenly been rescued by mercenaries. It felt like a dream.
Seeing the Interstellar Beast’s carcass, the new group of Observers sized Han Xiao up with shock. They had suffered quite a lot from this monster, and they knew how strong the Interstellar Beast was.
“Everyone’s here, let’s go,” Han Xiao said.
…
Han Xiao tested the radiation strength with a device as they returned to the surface. After waiting a few days, the short window in the radiation storm finally arrived. They hastily boarded the aircraft and went straight up into the sky.
The aircraft had a capacity for about ten people, but there were more than ten Observers. It was crowded in the cabin.
They passed by the storm area successfully, and the spaceship went to pick them up.
All the Observers that escaped from death hugged each other passionately, overjoyed.
Han Xiao had his mind on the mission, so he did not waste any time. He set the return route and headed back immediately.
A few days later, the spaceship returned to the space station. This time, when they requested to enter, they conveyed the fact that they had rescued the lost Observers. Everyone in the space station was shocked.
The space station immediately opened up its port. Unlike the cold treatment last time, the attitude of the space station’s people completely changed, and they welcomed them enthusiastically.
The spaceship docked at the port. As soon as the cabin opened, Han Xiao saw that almost everyone in the space station had gathered at the port. The station chief stood at the front. Surprise and contentment were on this serious army officer’s face.
Beside him, the deputy station chief was smiling as usual. However, for some reason, his smile was a little stiff, and there was a faint sense of irritation in his eyes.

“Darling!”
Nereja squeezed himself out of the crowd and opened his arms with excitement on his face.
A smile appeared on Lenny’s face as she saw her husband. She dashed into his arms, then kissed his forehead, and they started kissing passionately. She hung on Nereja’s neck like a koala. Their position was so fiery that it looked like they were going to do it on the spot. Han Xiao’s eyes hurt from watching it, and the image of back then when he captured Kerlodd and stripped him naked appeared in his mind. Muscular, wide shoulders, small member. No wonder there were so many hybrids in Godora…
The other surviving Observers jumped down from the spaceship and hugged their friends.
When Han Xiao got off the spaceship, the space station chief approached and said with a surprised tone, “Black Star, this is…”
Obviously, the station chief did not know that Nereja had hired mercenaries privately. Hiring mercenaries for internal matters without permission was against the regulation in Godora, and the punishment would be given depending on how serious the situation was. It would also be added to their permanent record and affect their future and promotions.
When Nereja gave the mission, he had requested Han Xiao not to leak this information. However, keeping it a secret might lead to missed opportunities and lowered rating, so Han Xiao did not listen to him and told Lenny and the other survivors about it. These Godoran Observers, of course, knew about the regulation. After discussing it privately on the spaceship, they decided to keep the identity of the employer a secret. After all, Nereja had taken the risk to hire the mercenaries to save them, so they were willing to cover it up.
The Observers around them heard the station chief’s question and all looked over. The survived Observers looked at Han Xiao worriedly, Nereja swallowed his saliva nervously.
These people were worried that Han Xiao would tell the truth. As Black Star was not an official of Godora, maybe he did not know about their regulations.
Han Xiao smiled and said, “When I was here, I heard about the research ships. I’m a mercenary, so I won’t give up any opportunity to make a fortune. Mr. Station Chief, my services are not free. Maybe you should pay a reasonable price for my labor.”
Nereja heaved a sigh of relief, and the other Observers were thankful, too. They looked at Han Xiao discreetly with appreciation.
In order to protect the employer’s identity, this mercenary is even putting up a show. That is some dedication to his profession.
The station chief was puzzled and a little troubled. “According to our regulations, we can’t pay you any money. This was your own action; we did not hire you.”
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. “Are you saying that I worked for free? Is this how Godorans treat their friends?”
A shade of joy flashed through the deputy station chief’s eyes. He coughed and said, “Station chief, he rescued the missing people after all. Although it’s against the regulations, I feel that we should return the favor. We should thank him for saving the lives of these Observers. Godorans never treat our friends badly.”
The station chief frowned and firmly shook his head. “Regulations are regulations. I appreciate your actions, but I really cannot pay you. This was your own action. If I paid you a reward, it would become a hire. That would be against the regulations.”
The faces of the crowd around them changed in dissatisfaction, especially the surviving Observers including Lenny. Their eyes turned rather cold.
These mercenaries saved us, yet you don’t even want to give a reward. Are our lives this cheap in your eyes?
Although they were unhapp
y, they did not say anything. The regulations were not to be disobeyed.
Han Xiao squinted and said in a deliberately indifferent tone, “Okay, I shall just say that I did a good deed. I want to park here for a day, will you maybe allow that?”
Seeing that he did not forcefully ask for a reward, the station chief felt relieved. He nodded and said, “Yes, we always welcome our friends.”
Hearing this, the crowd around them stared at the station chief in discontent before looking at Han Xiao with even more appreciation.
The station chief turned around and left, and the crowd gradually split up as well. When they passed Han Xiao, they greeted him with a solemn gesture, expressing their appreciation.
In a corridor far away with only the deputy station chief and station chief, the deputy station chief took a few steps forward and walked beside the station chief. “You’re too stubborn.”
The space station shook his head and said with a very serious expression, “This is not being stubborn but principles. Since I was assigned to this place by the superiors, my job is to supervise all the work here and make sure that everyone does things following the regulations.”
“Sigh, you’re right.” The deputy station chief purposely acted regretful. “Very few mercenaries would only negotiate a price after doing the job—their actions were not a coincidence. They probably accepted a secret hire from a space station employee long ago…”
The station chief suddenly stopped walking and said, “You’re right… Those mercenaries deliberately lied earlier because they wanted to make more money. Humph, mercenaries indeed are a group of greedy people. Investigate it. I want to know who the one that hired the mercenaries was.”
The deputy station chief hastily discouraged the station chief and said, “For things like this, knowing about it in our hearts is enough. Don’t be so serious about it. No matter what, all the lost Observers returning is a good thing. If you act as if you don’t know about this and don’t look for who’s responsible, the regulation violation will not exist. When you report to the superiors, you can write it into your own merits. This will be very beneficial for your future. They will think that you’re very capable.”
The station chief frowned and said in a righteous tone, “Merits? I won’t hide the truth for something like this! Investigative who hired the Black Star Mercenary Group. A violation is a violation; no leniency is allowed.”
…
Back at the hall, Nereja found Han Xiao. The two of them walked to the side, and he grabbed Han Xiao’s hand with a face filled with gratitude.
“Thank you so much for your help. Lenny and I don’t even know how to repay you.”
Han Xiao pulled his hands back, shrugged, and said, “Of course you know how to repay me. We agreed on the reward.”
“Yes, yes, yes, of course, I’m just too excited.” Nereja took out his communicator and quickly made a transfer.

This Favorability… Han Xiao’s mouth twitched. Why do I feel like there’s a green color to it?
Godorans really could not be messed with. No wonder they had so many hybrids…
Putting those thoughts behind, Han Xiao activated the Random Reward on his interface.

“How great.”
Han Xiao’s tone was calm, and he was expressionless.
At this point, he was already very calm about it… or at least he seemed very calm.
“I’m not angry, not at all.”
Han Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the three choices.
_____________________
Please select one from the three reward below

Han Xiao glanced through and picked Intelligence without hesitation. The numbers behind it were the range of the random attributes given.

Not too bad. Although it’s not very good, a permanent attribute point is acceptable. This is the first time I’ve gotten an attribute reward from the Random Reward. It’s worth remembering.
Han Xiao comforted himself more than ten times in his mind and felt like he was feeling much better, although it might have been his imagination.
After Han Xiao got the money in his account, Nereja took out a white diamond ring from his pocket, looked at it for a while with reluctance in his eyes, and then solemnly placed it into Han Xiao’s hand.
“I know I don’t have much money, and these rewards are too little for you, but you still chose to help me. I’m very touched and thankful. This ring is called the Kenorn Diamond Ring. It’s a magic treasure that I collected. I want you to know that not all Godorans are as petty as the station chief. Please accept my gift.”
The inside of the diamond on the ring had a magic glow. Han Xiao held onto the ring and looked at the item description on the interface.

_____________________
Magic equipment, its attribute boost is not bad. The aura is perfect for dungeons. These guilds will definitely be willing to pay a huge sum for it. Sadly, this thing has limited use to me.
The oldest and second oldest Volga brothers were the only Mages in the mercenary group, and they had a high enough level, so it could only be given to them. Anyway, the players were not there for the time being, so there was no need to sell it.
After bidding Nereja farewell, Han Xiao returned to the hall and casually threw the ring to the Volga brothers. The three of them cheered with joy and went to the side to look at it closely, leaving Herlous there holding onto his cards and staring at the game that he was going to win money from.
“Now that everything’s over, are we not leaving yet?” Feidin asked.
Han Xiao’s eyes flickered. “There are more situations here, but I have already done what I should do. The situation will only become beneficial after a very long time. When that happens, it might be worth it to return here… Alright, pack up then, we will be leaving in a short while. Nothing will be happening here for now, so there is no need to continue staying here.”
The others did not understand what he meant.
“You’re the captain—you know what to do,” Herlous said. “Where are we going next?”
Han Xiao thought of the Interstellar Beast materials in the spaceship and said, “We need to find someone to turn that carcass in the warehouse into potions first.”
Although finding the Mission Completion Card was important, he was not in a hurry. Anyway, being in a hurry would not make him
any luckier.
Doing missions could be postponed temporarily. To him, dealing with the Interstellar Beast’s materials was the most important matter.
Chapter 465 - Life Span Potion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the vast universe, new species were being born every second. Finding out about the valuable parts of all kinds of flora and fauna, extracting them, and making them into potions was a very complicated, profound subject. This was especially true in Galaxy, where there were countless species; it required a lot of patience and skill.
There were also many different methods of extraction and making potions, such as chemical extractions from the technological side and witchcraft decoctions from the magic side.
The Pharmacist Association was the authorized organization in the universe. Just like the Spacetime Research Council, this was a platform for the Pharmacists to communicate with each other. It was also the simplest way for the galactic residents to hire Pharmacists. All they had to do was log into the Pharmacist Association website, and there would be Pharmacist Apprentices online who would inquire about the customers’ needs. It felt like those online doctor inquiry websites in Han Xiao’s previous life.
As the matters in the space station came to an end, Han Xiao immediately contacted the Pharmacist Association and found a dependable pharmaceutical organization that produced Interstellar Beast potions. This organization was located on a colonized planet of the Purple Crystal Civilization in the Colton Star Cluster.
Purple Crystal was one of the strongest civilizations in the Shattered Star Ring.
Godora was a Star System level civilization, and there were many Star System level civilizations in Colton Star Cluster—Godora from the Gavin Star System, New Phylen from the Rain Star System, Black Raven and Holy Stone from the Fawn Star System, and many more. Purple Crystal Civilization, however, was a Star Cluster level civilization. Its colonized planets spread across the various Star Clusters and Star Systems of the Shattered Star Ring.
