Poverty makes me capable of anything.

……

After seeing off Ya Jin, who had come to cause trouble, Fei Lian, who had been in a bad mood, suddenly smiled like a bright chrysanthemum.

"Alright, now that we've gotten rid of those annoying flies, we have some good news to share with you all."

"..."

A moment of silence fell over the room. An Ran pulled up a small stool and sat down, offering no opinion.

As a result, Fei Lian, the team leader, once again found himself in the embarrassing situation of being ignored by all his teammates.

However, Fei Lian had an exceptionally good mindset, or rather, under the long-term training of Daogu and Anna, he had developed a strong heart to deal with this situation.

Fei Lian coughed lightly and said, "Because we successfully completed the task assigned by the higher-ups, although it was just a simple D-level task, fortunately there were no mistakes, and the higher-ups specially allocated some extra supplies to us."

"You're rich now?" Anna, who had just been throwing knives, suddenly brightened up and appeared in front of Fei Lian in a flash.

Fei Lian took a step back without making a sound.

Anna was a notorious chain smoker.

Of course, Fei Lian himself was too embarrassed to say anything about Anna, after all, he was also a notorious alcoholic.

The more he drinks, the more excited he becomes, and he can even easily drift while driving drunk.

This is not something the average person should try.

"You're rich now?" An Ran's eyes lit up.

During this time, she had saved up about 5,000 Biru. She estimated that 500,000 Biru would be a reasonable amount if she wanted to go to the Azure Forest.

Only one percent.

An Ran sighed.

An Ran was already feeling a bit overwhelmed by the thought of the cost of building the exoskeleton armor. It was simply not enough to make ends meet, so it seemed the only option was to do more missions and steal more money from Morning Star.

They wanted to kill her, so An Ran naturally wouldn't be polite to Chen Xing's people.

“This is public funds,” Fei Lian said.

"What public funds? Turning all the money into public funds, are you trying to embezzle it?" Anna was practically grabbing Feilian by the collar.

"..."

Fei Lian looked utterly dejected.

He's such a terrible captain. Luckily, although Inogu and Anna don't usually listen to him, they are quite obedient during battles.

They weren't stupid; they knew that causing trouble during a battle was just asking for trouble.

"Besides that pitiful salary, I can barely afford the rent, let alone upgrade my equipment. The stuff they give out is too ordinary." Even Daogu started complaining.

Li Zhuying, who was reading, also glanced at the book a few times. Only a fool would refuse such a good thing as NPCs giving out money.

"Fine, fine, you guys decide."

Feilian immediately gave in.

He also agreed with Daogu; it was time for them to upgrade their equipment.

Why are the top-ranked teams consistently strong?

That's because they get more rewards by completing various tasks, and thus can obtain more good stuff.

The principle that the strong will always be strong applies in most places.

Fei Lian knew that if their team wanted to rise again, they needed to continuously complete missions to improve their scores, constantly acquire more resources to enhance their strength, and of course, teamwork was also essential.

A good commander can boost the strength of a squad several times over.

In the end, Anran received 3000 pesos.

This includes the public funds that the team had previously saved.

Now that everyone has money, Anran starts thinking about how to turn everyone's money into her own.

Thus, Anran's mysterious shop opened for the first time at Jiuge's residence.

High-energy bombs cost 300 plutos each, flashbangs cost 200 plutos each, sniper rifles cost 1500 plutos each, and Anran's favorite assault rifle costs 500 plutos each.

"..."

"Hey, you're a member of our team, why are you being so mean?" Daogu complained.

As a ranged damage dealer, the requirements for firearms are relatively high.

The firearms that Anran put up for sale were all better than those issued by Jiuge.

"I'm only letting you have unlimited orders because you're my teammates. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't sell you more!" An Ran snorted.

In fact, she was deceiving the "honest man" Daogu.

If someone were to actually try to purchase a large quantity of weapons from her, An Ran's attitude would be summed up in one word—

"Sell!"

And they even offer door-to-door delivery!

Only a fool wouldn't sell!

She has already accomplished quite a lot.

If we don't sell them, won't they just pile up in inventory?

In the end, they might even have to lower the price to sell it.

“If you can get a better scope, this sniper rifle can shoot even further,” An Ran began to persuade Daogu.

"This rifle performs quite well for a budget-friendly option."

The blueprints Colin created were designed with mass production in mind, so their performance may not be outstanding, but they are top-notch in their price range.

"I'll buy it, okay, I'll buy it, alright?"

After trying the gun, the rice, which had been itching to fight, finally yielded to Anran.

With some sniper rifle bullets costing 30 piru per shot, as well as high-energy explosives and flashbangs, Daogu's newly acquired 3000 piru were quickly put into Anran's pocket, and he even had to pay an extra 300.

"Good equipment brings victory. Believe in yourself, and you will definitely be the key to victory next time!" An Ran began to encourage Daogu.

Daogu nodded in deep agreement.

A good gunman, of course, needs a good gun.

However, he had clearly forgotten something while cleaning his gun.

He no longer has the money to pay the rent.

So the next day, the rice was left stranded on the streets and had no choice but to sleep on the floor of the camp.

This is something later.

At this moment, An Ran found her second customer: "Captain, would you like something?"

"..." Fei Lian's lips twitched.

Q: Why are my teammates so unreliable?

A: Don't ask me!

"Then let's have some high-energy explosives."

Fei Lian said that the impact force generated by the explosion itself is not particularly large, but the splash of flammable liquid is far more lethal to people than ordinary hand grenades, mainly because it is difficult to dodge.

And you?

Feeling great after the initial success, Anran then tried to sell to the remaining three people.

In the end, even Anna bought a few flashbangs.

"One thousand, two thousand, three thousand..." An Ran, who was hiding in the corner counting money, couldn't stop smiling.

Her savings suddenly reached 15000.

Indeed, trading is the source of wealth.

Trade more and get rich quickly.

After a while of commotion, Feilian spoke up again: "Besides what happened just now, there is something even more important I want to tell everyone."

"what's up?"

Anna had stopped throwing knives and sat quietly at the table watching Fei Lian speak.

“Our last mission was just the beginning. Recently, the people from Morning Star have been acting very recklessly, so the higher-ups have decided to give them a tougher beating. The security department will handle matters on the main battlefield. But we’ll have to deal with those little bugs that Morning Star sent. And…” Fei Lian smiled, “It’s not just about eliminating these little bugs; the higher-ups also want to retaliate against Morning Star, so they’re sending out tons of infiltration and assassination missions.”

"So we must seize this opportunity and improve our team's ranking! First, get into the top five, then the top three, and finally number one!" Fei Lian pumped his fist forcefully.

He wanted to project an enthusiastic image to motivate the members, but he was clearly disappointed again.

"Don't be silly, our team's strongest ever was only third place," Daogu said.

“That’s right, Captain.” Chu Yuan nodded in deep agreement.

"..."

An Ran didn't join in their commotion. She quietly opened the game panel and discovered that there were suddenly many new faction-versus-faction missions.

All of these are missions targeting Morning Star.

These tasks are quite challenging, but the rewards are substantial. The key is that many tasks require you to investigate the other party's location yourself.

In that case, intelligence should be the top priority, An Ran immediately realized the key point.

Whoever controls the intelligence will be the darling!

"I'll study these tasks carefully first, pick out some suitable ones, and then rest and recuperate for the next few days, ready to set off at any time," Fei Lian said.

Others had no objections to the comparison, and even Li Zhuying, a fan of erotic novels, wanted to upgrade.

Upgrading allows you to go to wider places and read more interesting books.

As Anran left her post, she pondered the questions as she walked.

Jiuge's actions against Chenxing are very beneficial to her.

If she wants to eliminate Morning Star, she needs to cooperate fully with this operation. For now, all she can do is gather intelligence.
