Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"you are?"

An Ran's pupils contracted; what appeared before her was actually a level 180 NPC.

However, something seems off about this NPC.

Chapter 07 is out!

Players' attribute panels cannot be viewed directly after the update; some special tricks are required, but this does not apply to NPCs.

Because Anran's level was five levels lower than the suddenly appearing NPC, the panel she saw was incomplete.

Name:? ? ?

Level: 180 [Mimetic Projection]

Six dimensions: ? ? ?

That's enough.

Even if An Ran knew his name, she might not recognize him.

"You, the one appearing here now, are not a physical entity?"

An Ran asked tentatively.

This person's attitude seemed relatively friendly; if he were truly hostile, he would probably have attacked immediately.

But the defensive heart is indispensable.

An Ran is ready to use the [Alienation Channel], a tool that allows her to travel to other dimensions, at any time.

"Ok?"

The anxious look on the man's face vanished, replaced by surprise.

"You are much more capable than I imagined."

It wasn't a physical entity after all.

An Ran frowned, but this was not an illusion; she could sense that the person in front of her actually existed.

His breathing and heartbeat were indeed present.

Seemingly seeing through An Ran's doubts, the unremarkable man said, "This is a special ability that you cannot understand for the time being."

"..."

Wow.

You're really good at showing off.

An Ran didn't respond to him directly.

Time was of the essence, and she couldn't afford to waste time arguing with this man.

The longer it drags on, the more anxious people within the empire will become. She doesn't want to see the empire, which was in a very good situation, fall into division again.

However, she was still stopped by that man.

Whether moving left, right, or back, the man always kept a distance of about two meters from An Ran. Even when An Ran was about to pull Ella away by teleporting, she felt that the coordinates she had set had been locked.

I don't know why, I just have this strange feeling.

Sigh, there's nothing I can do.

An Ran said, "Say what you have to say."

The man smiled and nodded: "While I admit you're more capable than I imagined, when facing the Omnic Tribe... sigh, damn it!"

As the man began to speak eloquently, An Ran immediately activated the [Alienation Channel]. Her and Ella's bodies collapsed into a black dot in front of the man, eventually turning into nothingness.

It was too abrupt.

Even with the hand speed of a man who has been single for hundreds of years, he couldn't hold An Ran back.

"I don't want your money, and I don't want you either, so why are you looking at me like I'm a monster?"

The man shook his head, and a few seconds later his body also turned into countless glowing ribbons and disappeared into space.

……

"Ding!"

An Ran heard the game notification that the transfer was successful.

She is currently in a stable alternate dimension, where she can even see shattered celestial bodies similar to those in the main universe.

This was originally a backup plan that Anran had prepared for when she escaped from the Royal Knights' Holy Prison.

"They didn't chase after us, so it seems we've shaken them off."

An Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Ella, who was holding hands with him, sniffed: "Anran, Anran, I feel like I've seen that man somewhere before."

It was an image that suddenly appeared in my mind.

However, although Ella has the ability to synthesize images on her own, she did not use it just now.

"..."

An Ran stood there, pinching her nose with one hand, a deep frown forming a "川" shape.

In her eyes, Ella was perfectly normal, and the data displayed on the game panel was also normal. So what exactly was going on?

Paranormal events?

Or is it that man's special ability?

It would be great if Ella had a game panel too, so she could know for sure whether she was being attacked.

"Let's leave here for now." An Ran lifted Ella's hand, and the smile on her lips instantly made Ella forget her worries.

This is the sweetness in a smile.

These words came to Ella's mind.

Emerging from the alternate dimension, An Ran found herself facing a monstrous, demonic ship.

The "Eye of the Devil" below opened, and Anran and Ella flew inside, proceeding along the cold metal passage. Anran pushed open the cockpit door at the end.

"Tantang aims to become a city of enlightenment."

An Ran said casually, but she did not receive a response from Tan Tang. Instead, she saw the smiling NPC in the cockpit.

Grass!

An Ran spread her arms to shield Ella behind her, gritting her teeth as she asked, "How did you follow me here?"

"I'm a good person, please listen to me."

The man patted his forehead, looking rather troubled, and gave himself a "good guy" card.

That way, you won't be rejected.

Speaking of which, his forehead was so shiny and bald that if he shaved all his hair off, it would definitely be a round and full bald head.

Pooh!

Now is not the time to think about such things; An Ran kept her eyes fixed on the NPC.

Alright, I'd like to see what you can come up with.

At that moment, Ella's white tuft of hair was pressing against Anran's armpit, feeling hard and itchy.

Ella even reached out and scratched it; actually, she was trying to press down her ahoge (cowlick).

But the experience with Anran was not so good.

Be mindful of the occasion!

"emmm..."

Ella quickly straightened her back, her two small hands hanging naturally at her sides, like a new recruit undergoing a calm inspection.

It's no wonder Ella's behavior was unusual at this moment; she felt particularly relaxed whenever she saw that NPC.

It's that kind of extraordinary confidence!

This person could never hurt me!

That's so strange.

Ella's eyes darted around, wondering why she had never felt this way before.

An Ran, like a protective mother hen, blocked Ella, directly deflecting the NPC's gentle gaze.

"Speak quickly, I'm in a hurry to save the world."

The man said, "Because of this, I can find you no matter where you go."

With a flick of his right hand, a white crystal appeared.

The dreamlike white color immediately captured Anran and Ella's attention.

Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Ella had never even seen them with her "eyes".

But An Ran recognized him at a glance.

"Ancient Essence!"

Yes, the white crystal in that man's hand is definitely ancient essence!

Subsequent investigations proved that An Ran's guess was correct.

That ancient essence, the size of a fingernail, was insignificant compared to the one inside Ella's body, but it was, after all, the second ancient essence!

"This was cut from the ancient essence inside Ella's body."

Oh, so it's the same piece. Oh, then it's alright... Yeah, right!

An Ran became wary and pressed, "Where did you get this ancient essence?"

"Someone gave it to me."
