Han Xiao was heading towards the Sunils' planet, ready to recruit his first minor 'protagonist'.
In fact, Ringo had already received the request from the Sunils before, but he didn't accept it, even though it was exactly the kind of job Hila would have loved.
However, Herlous, the Grade B Sunil recruited by Han Xiao in the original book, would be one of the important characters in the initial phase of Han Xiao's growth, so Ringo avoided interfering too much and waited until now, even though he already had an interest in the beings hidden deep within that planet and the stones they carried.
The beings would be rearranged by Han Xiao, and would become his devotees in the future due to 'saving grace', thus becoming one of Han Xiao's connections to this universe. Ringo wasn't very interested in these guys, at most, he'd take some for Emma to study, but the stones that could transmit psychic power... those things are interesting.
So, right after completing Aiz's mission, the Triple Six set off again on the Trihexa, heading towards the planet Sunil. They didn't even need to reach a mercenary center, simply sending the request was accepted quickly, and the mercenary center promised to speak with the Sunils. It took less than 10 minutes for the mission to be fully accepted. The Sunils were very happy.
For a group of poor people, hiring a mercenary group like theirs was almost unthinkable. Fortunately, Black Spider allowed the Sunils to pay in installments and gave them a discount, something unthinkable for most mercenaries, but Black Spider wasn't going there for the money from the start.
It's worth noting that the Trihexa had already undergone several modifications during this period, and although it was far from being the fastest spaceship in the galaxy, it had been improved with state-of-the-art mechanical equipment and further enhanced by Brad's charm. In the end, the Trihexa was no longer just that mediocre ship looted from pirates.
The dark red, smooth, disc-shaped spacecraft, bearing the symbols of the Triple Six and the Floating Dragon, sped through the galaxy like a trail of light.
Compared to Han Xiao's slow journey, who didn't even have his own spaceship yet, the Triple Six was much faster, even so, they were still much further ahead, ultimately arriving only about two days ahead of Han Xiao.
In the center of the group, Black Spider's rough, bald head stared indifferently at the crew. -This job was chosen to train the rookies.- Black Spider nodded toward the group of excited players, who were stunned at being singled out.
They immediately became extremely excited, asking. -Is this a new event?
The group of officers seemed a little surprised, but no one complained much, after all, the Sunils' mission was very easy in their opinion, just dealing with uncontrolled beasts? Hila alone would only need a few hours to turn this planet into a sea of death.
-Therefore, the officers will not participate, except for Rick, who will lead the Inhumans to learn how to act as mercenaries.- Black Spider said calmly.
He was just arranging things for them to do, Ringo himself would come to investigate the 'prophecy stones' on his own.
Trax seemed the most unhappy. Black Spider thought it was time to take him to train with the main body and Hadavy. Trax had reached Grade A, but even with the help of Ringo's evolutionary energy, he seemed increasingly irritable lately.
Probably because his increased strength brought him closer to revenge, only to realize that the distance seemed to grow ever greater.
No, he just couldn't see the bigger picture beforehand, a Grade S is impossible to kill even for a thousand Grade A supers.
Hila was also limited by her location, if she entered a secondary dimension where she could kill at will, she would advance much faster. Ringo had been searching for a dimension of evil creatures for her for a long time, but it was difficult to classify an entire secondary dimension as evil.
Bradd had given him a hint, but he still needed to verify it.
Vanessa's father could arrive in a few years, so letting her advance is also a good thing. He had heard that there was a blood dimension, but he hadn't found anyone who had the coordinates of that place. Perhaps the universal civilizations had them, but for now Ringo wasn't ready to negotiate with them.
When he was ready, Vanessa's father would be solved with a sneeze, in the end, this dimension would still be useful for Vanessa, so... sort of.
Ringo considered letting Korak go learn from Bradd. Although he was focused on curse magic, he wasn't a pure specialist mage, he could learn other spells. Bradd had lived long enough to know more types of magic than most mages know spells, so it was worth letting him go learn.
Rick... well, the idiot didn't have many advantages, except for his loyalty, he was very ordinary in every other way, but Ringo preferred that kind of loyal character, so he thought about how to help Rick... well, for now, it was still open.
Slugcat is an interesting little creature, she hardly ever trains, but Ringo was thinking of letting her focus completely on being a scout. Her main Esper ability is concealment, and he had been searching everywhere for similar abilities to enhance her gene.
He was also thinking about acquiring some abilities like Cloning and something like Han Xiao had, which allowed him to 'look' at anyone who had placed a mark on them, anywhere in the universe.
Of course, this would have to be through racial evolution, it didn't have much to do with her Esper gene, so even Ringo couldn't change much without a huge risk of creating a mess and ending up destroying Slugcat's entire Esper gene.
Ringo thought about Planetary Cornerstone and figured it would make a great training ground. If Austin helped and charmed this thing into controlling the force of gravity, they could go from being crushed into meat paste to gradually upgrading.
It would be especially useful for the group's pugilists, like Trax, Rick, and Eva, if he left one of his clones there, keeping the evolutionary field open. It would become the perfect training ground, after all, with his abilities, the clone could even transform gravity into energy.
Lost in thought, he considered what to use to trade with Austin, he couldn't just randomly ask for things.
Anyway, Rick, who was appointed 'general' of the Inhumans, almost dropped his bottle of drink, his eyes wide, and pointed to himself.
Unfortunately, the group knew Rick well enough to know that he would complain first and then do things anyway, so while Rick started to chatter, everyone began to leave, going about their own business. Hila was the only one who stayed, she wanted to absorb the souls of the dead from the battlefield.
Rick saw this and pointed out directly that Hila would be a better general.
Hila's response was to send Rick out of the ship with a pulse of energy that sent him flying hundreds of meters before he fell.
The players, especially the female players, burst into laughter.
They had already understood the group's internal dynamics, Rick was the comic relief, so they found this NPC's interactions really interesting.
For example, one player had even taken 10,000 Enas from Rick in a Wayne cards game. Rick, drunk, cried like a child upon losing. The Inhumans recorded it and showed it to him when he was sober. Rick, furious, destroyed the communicator and forced them to delete it.
What he didn't know was that he was already famous among the players on the Forum.
Nobody could stop the players from 'posting'.
