Chapter 540: Chapter 284 Black Hole Hall Feder: I thought you were dead

Only one account had it, it was the very first one, on Silver Grey Star, recommended by Lame Uncle, the account named [Shadow].

I don’t really know when it was there or what it’s used for, there’s no explanation provided, he found it quite strange for a while.

Then he applied for a second account, the other accounts didn’t have this emblem, and gradually, he forgot about it himself.

Unexpectedly, he saw an almost identical symbol on this S-tier assassin’s account.

There are a few emblems he didn’t recognize, but he recognized the Bounty Hunters’ rank emblem, which is almost at the last in the order.

The edge is gold, the inner circle is red, and it’s no longer ordinary numbers, but a star symbol, no specifics as to what tier it is.

Yet this inconspicuous vertical pupil emblem, it actually ranks at the very front.

"Black Pupil Mark, you have it too," Li Ming feigned surprise, not overly reacting.

He doesn’t know what the requirements for this emblem are, but it shouldn’t be closely related to strength, getting it while on Silver Grey Star wouldn’t be too surprising.

"Black Pupil Mark?" Dark Night looked perplexed, took the smart device, looked down, and suddenly said, "You mean the Hall Mark?"

"You call it Hall Mark?" Li Ming was calm, making it sound like a regional difference in terminology.

This thing definitely did not have a unified name, he clicked on it several times before and there was never any explanation; even if there was a unified name, using a nickname was pretty normal, right?

"I call it that way..." Dark Night didn’t care much, "Accounts supported by the Black Hole Network have this emblem, over at the Land of Chaos there’s an organization called Black Hole Hall, and the requirement to join is having this emblem."

"Over time, that’s what we started calling it."

"Oh," Li Ming realized, so it was indeed supported by the Black Hole Network, he had guessed so before but didn’t think deep into it.

Watching Dark Night enter his password, his fingers blurred to avoid deducing the exact password through movement.

He was quite curious: "You also have these kind of secret societies over there; was it formed by the Black Hole Network?"

"I don’t really know," Dark Night shook his head, frowning, "This Black Hole Hall has existed for many years, its influence is not small, after all, those who are supported by the Black Hole Network are not simple."

"After joining, you could get a lot of resource support and there are regular meetings; whether it’s actually established by the Black Hole Network, I’m not sure."

"The Black Hole Network employs people with the Hall Mark through backstage hiring, and the rates are not low, this method has somewhat gone public, which is not quite in line with their principles."

Li Ming pondered; if so, the person who established this Black Hole Hall is really powerful, essentially stealing the Black Hole Network’s thunder.

After all, these people are specially selected, the toughest talent-screening has already been done by the Black Hole Network.

"Actually, for the A-level Genetic Seed you want, I was planning to ask inside the Hall," Dark Night added.

Seeing Azure Dragon’s speaking manner, it’s clear he also possesses this emblem, hence he spoke more freely.

"It sounds like there are plenty of resources to leverage inside, I’d really like to see it if I get the chance," Li Ming pretended to reflect.

"The only admission requirement is having the Hall Mark, not too difficult, when you come with me back to the Land of Chaos, you can naturally join," Dark Night said casually, "Casting Star Mechanic, nobody would not welcome."

Li Ming gave a gentle smile, that was enough to say, any more would be too much.

"Damn Black Hole Network, not even reducing the transportation fee," Dark Night grimaced, cursed a couple times, then put away the smart device: "Now, we just have to wait."

Li Ming nodded, watching Dark Night prepare to leave, a thought struck him, "Lord Dark Night, I have a question, not sure if ..."

Dark Night glanced up and smiled faintly, "Why assassinate Duke Guya?"

Li Ming nodded, "In principle, such high officials of a civilization are usually not put on bounty."

Assassinating such people always comes at a greater cost than benefit, unless it’s merely to vent personal vendetta, but those with such intentions would hardly be able to contact someone like Dark Night.

"The reasons definitely cannot be disclosed." Dark Night grinned, his gaze profound, "But you might find out in the future."

No answer came, which was within Li Ming’s expectation; this question was just his own simple curiosity.

After seeing off Dark Night, Li Ming let out a long sigh of relief, then took out [Talos’ Heart], the flesh-like touch irresistibly stirred up some anticipation, it was his first S-level Controlled Object.

S-level Controlled Objects all possess very powerful abilities, like the [Star Slaying Gun], although it doesn’t have extremely terrifying data amplification, its capability already proves everything.

[Information State Erasure], an A-level Life Form has absolutely no resistance, a hit means death.

This level of ability is far more practical than data amplification.

The ability of [Talos’ Heart] is to allow Power Amplification to switch back and forth between four basic amplifications.

It doesn’t seem strong, but actually, it has great potential in concrete combat scenarios.

Even so, he only needs to stack one type of Power Amplification, saving a lot of effort on other aspects, which is a big saving in terms of resources and time.

Just what its effect would be, should also be impressive, he unconsciously fidgeted with the yellow-black heart in his hand.

Around the shattered celestial bodies, several purple-tinted warships detach from warp state, the propulsion engines emitting flames, patrolling the surroundings.
