Poverty makes me capable of anything.

At the same time, the birdman stepped back several steps from the front and back of the camera, giving the audience more room for imagination.

Then, a golden light flashed in the deep sky, and the camera immediately turned to it, zooming in on the image.

At this point, the audience could finally see the scene clearly.

A headless, colossal insect, bleeding profusely, struggled to deflect an attack from a psionic colossus. Then, a little girl dressed in a panda costume jumped onto its back and shattered its thick carapace with a single punch.

"Ow—"

The Zerg Queen shrank back, forgetting her anger, and desperately fled towards a certain place in the starry sky.

Meanwhile, Anran and Panda chased after them at a leisurely pace, occasionally striking the Zerg Queen but not killing her.

But this scene of one-sidedly beating up the Zerg Queen got the viewers in front of the TV excited.

"My God, that terrifying bug was completely overpowered."

"Is this staged?"

"Damn it, why don't you go find a bug that big and try posing for a photo with it?"

Is this humanity's hope?

"The counterattack begins now! We must not give up until the very last moment."

"Even if we win here, it won't affect the overall situation; the empire is finished."

At this moment, the employees of Life Online, who were risking their lives to record on the asteroid, adjusted their camera positions and gave An Ran a close-up profile shot.

The time is 4:55 PM Imperial Standard Time.

The number of viewers for Life Online News Channel easily surpassed its previous peak.

Countless people saw the smug smile that appeared on An Ran's lips.

While they were silently marveling, "Mom, I'm in love," Anran and the panda found the Zerg Queen's hidden nest.

The final carnage began with an explosion, and Anran and the panda temporarily disappeared.

But the "big bang" on the internet has only just begun.

[Newly crowned national goddess]

Countless similar titles have been bestowed upon An Ran.

It's worth noting that An Ran's charm level reached 13 points after putting on the combat uniform.

"This is a stunning profile that rivals even top-tier idols!"

That's absolutely right.

Many people questioned whether An Ran's face was attractive, but this criticism was quickly dispelled as the buzz reached the players, especially those in the Time-Space faction.

My wife is back!

This post not only topped the popularity charts on the faction forums but also ranked second on the popularity charts on the empire forums.

And it only took two hours!

【Roar! Roar! Roar!】

[A great battle is about to begin, and my wife is back in her place]

I feel like my wife has become even more beautiful. Am I the only one who thinks so?

You're not alone this time!

[Going to pick up my wife from school]

After the news spread, players immediately threw photos of An Ran's face at the faces of those "superficial" Imperials.

Look closely, this is an even more beautiful front view than a side profile!

The company 【Life Online】, which risked their lives to broadcast the live, made a fortune this time. They had every reason to believe that they would become the Empire's top media outlet, especially after the explosion in the empty deep space, which sent countless disgusting insect bodies flying out.

The company boss was completely stunned.

Damn, I've never seen such high broadcast numbers.

fall.

It must be said that An Ran's plan to create momentum for herself succeeded by sheer chance.

The constant stream of news of defeats coming from the capital star system and the surrounding areas of the empire struck the hearts of those who had feelings for the empire with heavy blows, creating a scene that felt as if the sky was about to collapse, making it hard to breathe.

At this moment, An Ran stepped forward and thwarted the Zerg's plan to destroy the planet Sark with overwhelming force. Naturally, many people regarded her as a savior.

Just like the heroes who fight monsters in the One-Punch Man world.

What's more, this savior is a cute and beautiful girl.

It would be a miracle if it didn't become a hit.

Rating: Grandmaster!

On the contrary, the line that appeared on television later did not make An Ran more popular among the public.

How powerful are grandmasters to most people?

—The really impressive kind.

Just how amazing is it?

—I'm not too sure about that either, but they can destroy stars.

Ordinary people have no concept of this, so it's not surprising. It's just like those monsters, oh no, it's even more powerful.

At this point, only a few experts were doing their best to popularize science.

Expert XX's statement: [Don't be too happy yet. The Empire's Grandmasters won't be affected by her presence or absence; it has no significance to the overall situation.]

YY expert commented: "[She's just an ordinary Zerg Queen. You'll see the difference when she encounters demons and Old Gods.]"

ZZ, the expert, yawned: "So what if she's a little good-looking? Looks can't be used as a substitute for ability; she'll still die eventually. Stop wasting your breath on bragging."

Because simply following trends doesn't attract attention, going against the grain is different; they become instantly famous.

It was so hot it turned black.

[Let me make this clear: she can't save the empire alone; we'll need reinforcements from other countries!]

Isn't it normal for the experts to be so confident?

Use your brains to think about it carefully!

Don't let your mind cloud your judgment!

The expert suddenly frowned. He realized that the sentence was inappropriate here; that Anran's chest wasn't even as big as his.

cut.

So be it.

……

"You killed the Zerg Queen."

After some calculations, due to the 10-level difference, An Ran only gained a pitiful 2 million experience points.

"You need to kill more than thirty insects like it to level up!"

An Ran's face turned green.

When the level difference reaches ten levels or more, the experience points are reduced drastically.

This Zerg force definitely didn't use more than thirty Queens, otherwise they wouldn't need to cooperate with demons and Old Gods at all.

An Ran shook her head in disappointment. If she hadn't just taken on another big mission, she would have almost finished enjoying this wave of main storyline upgrade bonuses. Upgrading after reaching the Grandmaster level was just too slow.

An Ran has just received an extremely rare SSS-level hidden quest: "The Mountains and Seas of the Empire".

"We yearn for our homeland, for the glorious years of the Empire, for its spirit of enterprise! During the five hundred years of Ignaz's rule, the Empire gradually declined from its pinnacle, finally plunging into flames. Let us rebuild!"

An Ran quickly scanned the mission briefing and then continued reading.

[Task Rewards]:

1. The wartime capital will never fall! Successfully defend the wartime capital, Sakstar, and you will be rewarded with 5 million free experience points.

2. Purification of This World I - The Fall of the Zerg: Hunt down three Zerg Queens (1/3), reward 20 billion Free Experience Points, the special item Heart of the Hive, 5 special Zerg recipes (Red), and the special title [Insect Killing Expert].

3. Purification of This World II - Demons Return to Emptiness: Hunt down three Demon Lords (0/3), reward 25 billion Free Experience Points, special item Abyss Mask, and Demon Teleportation Scroll (Red) *3

4. At this moment, Purification III – a devastating blow to the Age of Gods – hunts down the Old God Suleien (0/1), rewarding 35 billion Free Experience Points, the special item [Listening to the Bell of the Gods], the special equipment [Whispering Saving Throw], and the special weapon [Old God's Scepter].

5. Integration of the Capital Star Circle! Successfully integrate the fragmented Capital Star Circle, establish royal authority, and receive a reward of 10 billion Free Experience Points and the special title [Royal Advisor].

Then there's the "New Order" series of side quests for unifying the empire, with rewards ranging from experience to items and titles.

If you also take into account the hidden reputation rewards, and successfully complete this series of missions, you will basically establish yourself as a top power in this star field.

At that time, her journey will turn to the more powerful Dust Realm.

"Choose to accept."

There was no hesitation; An Ran got into the car immediately, and she became the driver.

"I feel like you can see things that I can't."

The panda scratched its round ears and looked at Anran with a puzzled expression.

"Your eyesight is failing you. Poor thing, you've been in the gap between centuries for a thousand years, and your eyesight isn't very good anymore."

"..."

Is this even possible?

Anran pulled the panda, who was deep in thought, back to Planet Sark.

Because communication was completely cut off, the people on Sark were unaware of what was happening outside.

"Huh, you're actually alright?"

Upon seeing An Ran appear, Orina cried out in surprise.

An Ran's face darkened: "So you actually want something to happen to me, huh?"

"No, no, how could I possibly have such a thought?" Olina shook her head repeatedly.
