Poverty makes me capable of anything.

But even so...

"It still failed."

Willock felt a tremor run through him.

Now that Virginia values ​​that little girl from the poor countryside so much, he is truly unable to calm down.

His upgrade speed is no less than Anran's.

This shouldn't be happening!

“Perhaps it’s a compatibility issue,” Cherny said.

Willock was puzzled: "A compatibility issue?"

"The Lord is the God of Craftsmen, and that little girl is a mechanic, which can also be called a craftsman. Perhaps the Lord feels that this is the best way to inherit her craftsmanship."

“Your reason,” Willock pondered for a long time, “is really hard to believe.”

"Who knows?"

After waiting outside for half an hour, Willock and Cherny finally received the message from the puppet mangrove forest.

"What decision did the Overlord make?" Willock asked.

Mangrove Tree opened and closed its mouth, saying, "This is not something that the Sovereign can decide. The decision rests with An Ran, but she has refused the Sovereign's invitation."

You're saying she rejected him?

Willock slapped the mangrove on the shoulder.

Mangrove was already used to his rude behavior.

"I refused."

Cherny was struck dumb: "Someone actually refused an invitation from a Star Domain Overlord? No, I need to put this on hold."

"She just refused like that, didn't the Lord say anything?" Willock's head suddenly went blank.

Upon hearing the mangrove's reply, the explosions became even louder.

"The Lord has asked her to stay and tour the Silent City for a while, and she can leave whenever she's tired of playing."

"..."

No.

This is the ruler of a star field.

What about your dignity?

Anyone who didn't know better would definitely think this is your daughter!

Even a daughter wouldn't be this indulgent; you could easily call her a mother!

Willock rubbed his cheeks hard a few times.

Could it really be as Cerny said, that it's a matter of compatibility? Is it too late for him to learn blacksmithing now?

Do not--

Willock's heart clenched; it was too late. He could no longer advance to the Star Domain Ruler level.

The life force depleted by that failure made him unable to withstand a second failure.

Cherny's eyes darted around.

inherited.

Naturally, similarity is necessary for inheritance. He has been unable to glimpse the path of the ruler for a long time, and even the ruler himself could not help him. However, if he were to start learning blacksmithing from scratch now, after a few decades, he might actually be able to follow in the footsteps of the ruler and cross that threshold.

Just do it!

Cherny immediately wrote a book called "Introduction to Blacksmithing".

Keep forging iron, keep forging iron.

"I finally understand."

Virginia sat on the throne of fire.

What appeared before her eyes were Willock and Cherny's every move.

"I understand now."

"Looks like you're not completely stupid after all."

"Damn it, if I were stupid, would you be smart?"

Virginia pursed her lips.

Look ahead.

Willock's life has been too smooth. He has experienced very few setbacks. In order to temper Willock's mind, Virginia sent him to participate in the Eternal Star Road Cataclysmic War. Who would have thought that Willock would be so lucky and would not encounter any danger until the end of the war.

Willock thought he had it in the bag, that he was the chosen one who defied all reason, and so he began his attempt to become the ruler of the star field, but as expected, he failed.

Even the luckiest person has to bow down when they encounter the manipulators behind the world.

When the probability is 0, no matter how lucky you are, you can't turn 0 into 1.

Unless you can create a new game yourself.

Virginia had only just noticed Cherny's problem.

His mind is full of crazy ideas, and he's always trying to figure out what others are thinking. His mind is too chaotic. If he waits until he sees through him, I don't know how many hammers I'll have to break by then.

"Perhaps he just lacked a bit of luck."

If Willock is the master of good fortune, then Cerny has always had an ordinary life.

Luck is something you can't completely ignore.

"There isn't much time left."

……

After leaving Silent City, Anran embarked on her journey back to the Dust Territory of the Hog system.

The four-month journey was not without its dangers.

Pirates, behemoths, and turbulent currents are all available.

Among them, the most dangerous are space pirates.

The Starkiller (Grandmaster) level pirate crew led thousands of ships forward, and even An Ran could only flee in panic. Fortunately, the Demon Ship was fast enough, and after wandering in hyperspace for two days, An Ran finally shook off the pirates chasing after her.

"It's so dangerous outside!" An Ran exclaimed.

For players, this danger is the best adventurous spice.

Our first stop upon arriving at the Sea of ​​Time – the Silent Land.

This is a relatively orderly map.

Even so, endless tasks still await players.

Battles are everywhere, which brings them joy in following their faction around the world on their birth planet and desperately trying to conquer the "world line" they want.

We no longer need to worry about the checks and balances between the Empire, the Covenant, and the Republic.

Life and death are bearish, if you don't agree, just do it.

Who do you think I am? I'm a player, you know.

Those restless players have begun looking for ways to leave the Silent Lands. While the Silent Lands are nice, they still can't compare to the vast and magnificent places ruled by other overlords.

Some players have compiled the faction information they found out on the forum.

[From version 3.0 onwards, we should gradually intervene in the clashes between the Exiled Empire and the Eternal Star Path factions.]

The Exiled Empire is a nation founded by a group of exiled pioneers.

The Eternal Star Path is a force built upon the ancient star path.

[So-called star paths are linking channels created by pioneers, constructed using unknown matter migrated from hyperspace. In the Star Tree Starfield, there are hundreds of thousands of existing star paths, the widest of which is over ten thousand kilometers long, leading directly to the holy city of the Eternal Star Path. The Eternal Star Path is not merely a passage for travel; it is also a weapon. Because it is a channel embedded in the cosmic dimension, manipulating star paths can distort space and even guide hyperspace to collide with our own, instantly annihilating an entire star system.]

These are all good news, and now they are safe and sound.

Who is the most well-informed boss in the world?

Without a doubt, this hat will be placed on An Ran's head!

Even if not now, it will definitely happen in the future.

Pioneer Technology: The World's Most Powerful Technology!

Even the game's official website used this title, and for a time, Anran found a goal to improve upon.

After a safe voyage of four months, finally arriving in the Hogs Galaxy, version 2.4, which has lasted for nearly ten months, is about to come to an end.

Version 3.0 is gradually being released.

Many players who had reached level 120 gave up the arduous task of grinding and leveling up, and began to wander around, collecting various information in preparation for the arrival of version 3.0.

Anran also set her sights on the Hogs Galaxy.

After the Hogg Wars, the Rabbit-Eared Clan, who had finally achieved a great victory, were forced by the Protoss Church to abandon their homeland and flee to Dolphin Planet.

Not to mention how unwilling the rabbit-eared tribe was, An Ran was also very angry.

We must get our revenge for the beatings we suffered before.

However, she was in no hurry. She first built the outpost, and once version 3.0 was officially launched, she would formally guide the cataclysm to the Hogs Galaxy.

In the clash between natural disaster and madness, who will ultimately emerge victorious?

In a cheerful mood, Anran led Ella to the mining area established by the Hyperdimensional Spacetime near the Hogs Galaxy.

This is part of the Hidden Sandbar.

An Ran originally wanted to give Wilmer and the others a surprise, but she found out something bad had happened as soon as she arrived.

"The mining area has disappeared?"

An Ran's face darkened as she looked at the collapsed collection tower on a certain planet.

Fortunately, she eventually found some clues.
