Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Then I look forward to your performance."

Anran pressed herself against the wall, moving forward step by step.

Psychological shock.

The active skill of a psychic ability user consumes psychic energy to launch an attack on the enemy. If the psychic energy suppression judgment is successful, there is a certain chance to stun the opponent.

This probability increases as mental state deteriorates.

"Squeak—" Li Zhuying's eyes suddenly widened.

A mental shock is initiated.

"on!"

Upon being alerted, Anran, Feilian, and Anna immediately rushed inside.

The crucial moment for securing kills has arrived.

"Oh no, over there..."

An Ran shouted loudly, and then pulled the trigger repeatedly.

"Boom!"

The two unlucky guys were killed instantly.

Feilian and Anna, who had instinctively crouched down, immediately turned around upon hearing the gunshot.

Then they saw An Ran excitedly looting the corpse.

Stealing kills?

Emmm...

But what's the point?

In Jiuge, contribution is not determined by the number of kills during missions.

"You have killed a Morning Star Rebel agent and gained 600 Freedom Experience."

"You have killed the Morning Star Resistance's special agent captain and gained 1000 Freedom Experience."

They even found over a thousand pesos! What a steal!

An Ran smiled happily.

"This money must be confiscated!"

Fei Lian casually snatched the money from An Ran's hand.

"I've got my cigarette money covered again this month. Looks like I won't have to shamelessly ask my superiors for reimbursement," Anna said excitedly.

"..."

Holy crap, the money's gone!

An Ran was furious.

He jumped up as if to launch a "rebellion".

Feilian carefully put the money away: "We haven't had any missions for almost two months, and we're so poor we can't even afford to eat. The people at Morning Star are quite wealthy, aren't they? Let's quickly take on a few more missions to earn some money back."

It seems to be the team's usual practice. Although An Ran was upset that the money she had earned was taken away, there was nothing she could say.

All I could think bitterly was, "Just wait until I squeeze all your money out of you!"

Fortunately, the mission rewards were quite substantial.

That was some consolation.

Anran gained 5200 experience points from this mission, and with the Morning Star Hunter title, her score became 17/25.

In a maximum of two more days, she will be able to upgrade to [Junior Mechanic].

That will be a watershed moment in one's career, and perhaps even a watershed moment in one's destiny.

……

"So fast?" Daogu said in surprise to Feilian, who was walking over from a distance.

Fei Lian was in high spirits: "The two newcomers are unexpectedly strong."

In fact, they defeated their opponent in less than ten minutes.

Daogu's gaze lingered on An Ran and Li Zhuying for a long time.

Perhaps these two specially recruited girls can help them regain their former glory?

The same thought flashed through Fei Lian's mind.

However, it is still necessary to cultivate a tacit understanding between each other.

Only Anna's attention remained focused on Li Zhuying.

A superhuman?

How does she compare to someone famous for close-quarters combat?

Having left Jiuge, Anran has returned to the R&D center, and she can't wait to pull out her knowledge books.

Chapter 48 You're already a glorious female programmer, hurry up and get started!

Anran made quite a few mechanical spring knives.

Because of her hard work in promoting it, she had a premonition that after people realized the excellence of the mechanical spring knife, there would be a surge in sales.

Good things will always find a market, and for someone who operates in the shadows, her mechanical projectile knife is clearly more suitable.

It is well-concealed, and its attack power is by no means inferior.

However, the R&D center has also obtained the blueprints, so even if they lower the price, they won't be able to sell them for long.

The cost reduction achieved by large-scale industrial production is far beyond what her small workshop can match.

With his experience points reaching 15,000 and it getting late, Anran, still a little worried, left the workshop after turning off the equipment, even though he had left a lot of food for Ella.

However, before she had gone far, Anran noticed Morton watching her again.

His eyes held not only surprise but also confusion.

This left An Ran completely baffled.

I wonder if this guy has any ulterior motives towards me.

An Ran quickened her pace to leave, but was stopped by Morton who was walking over: "Hello, I'm Morton from the New Weapons Research Section of the R&D Center!"

"Hello." The other person was very polite, and An Ran was also very polite.

But she didn't say much, instead quietly waiting for Morton to continue.

"I heard from Director Gray that the blueprints for the mechanical spring knife are yours?" Morton asked.

Is that why?

Yes, do you have any questions?

Morton carefully examined An Ran. Since she frequented the underground workshop, this girl must have some strength.

But is the mechanical slingshot, such a small but intricately designed weapon, really something she tinkered with in her dream?

“I’ve seen the blueprints, and it’s indeed a very ingenious design. The impact force at the moment of the strike greatly exceeded our expectations during the testing process.” Morton looked like he was engrossed in his research. “By the way, are you and Director Gray on good terms? I heard that the director gave you all his badges.”

"It's not bad," An Ran said.

Morton nodded: "I also have some experience in weapons development. We can have a more in-depth discussion if we have the chance."

"..."

But I don't want to have a deep conversation with you.

"This is a little gadget I recently came up with. You can try it out. It's an improved version of the X9-Tactical Eyepiece."

Morton suddenly handed over a pair of glasses with light blue lenses.

An Ran subconsciously took it.

"It can protect your eyes from the wind and also allow you to see targets further away," Morton explained.

"Will I be able to see more clearly?" An Ran put on her glasses.

The field of vision turned slightly blue, but as Morton said, things in the distance did become clearer.

It truly lives up to its reputation as cutting-edge technology in games.

The basic parsing is in use.
