Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Anran immediately retrieved the information from the blueprints upon entering the workshop.

From the outside, it looks like a small cube with a display on the front and a joystick on the top.

"Holy crap, isn't this just a device that generates random numbers?"

Anran stared at the thing in silence.

【777】can produce any number between 0 and 999.

But what use is this thing to her?

This thing is only good for drawing lots, like the Super Lotto.

Oh, right, An Ran suddenly thought of a way to make money—

lottery.

Number a thousand items from 0 to 999, then have players buy "lottery tickets," which are drawn using the number [777]. Whatever number you draw, you can take the item with that number.

It's actually just like opening loot boxes in other games, but due to technical limitations, we have to use a lottery system to achieve this.

This is definitely more profitable than simply selling equipment to players!

An Ran's eyes lit up.

She's very busy, but if Ella were to run the shop, there wouldn't be any problem.

Ella has ample military strength to ensure she won't be robbed.

Hoo hoo.

An Ran was suddenly filled with power.

Chapter 58 Ella Learns to Use the Internet

Objective: To produce a substandard exoskeleton armor.

After leaving the archives, An Ran didn't rush back to find Ella. Instead, she used the remaining time to start making an exoskeleton armor.

With this, her strength will be greatly enhanced.

However, Anran, who had been having a smooth time, finally encountered difficulties.

Anran encountered problems in her three attempts, and the results were all just a pile of scrap metal.

In the end, I barely managed to gain 1000 experience points.

"It seems my understanding is still insufficient."

The realization of advanced drawings requires intellectual ability, is limited by mechanical theory, and also has requirements for manufacturing equipment.

There was no shortage of manufacturing equipment, and Anran's intelligence met the requirements; it seemed that her mechanical theory was still insufficient.

Enran abandoned the plan to create a complete exoskeleton armor.

Besides [777], she also obtained a blueprint for a [three-axis robotic arm] while reading.

An Ran remembered that among the blueprints Gray needed was one called "Triaxial Power Unit," which was derived from Ella's blueprints.

Multiple drawings can be combined to form complex drawings, and simple drawings can be extracted from complex drawings.

So Anran decided to disassemble the blueprints for the exoskeleton armor.

Full-body armor is impossible to make, but individual arm or foot armor should be no problem.

Basic analysis.

It can not only analyze mechanical devices, but also blueprints.

Current level: Lv3, analysis progress: 3%.

An Ran watched the sluggish speed, as if it would reach its limit and be unable to continue analyzing at any moment.

With a determined effort, she spent 7000 experience points to upgrade her Basic Analysis skill to Lv5.

Today was a complete waste of time; all the experience I gained was wasted.

But the results were gratifying.

The progress, which had stalled at 7%, has started to increase again.

Ten minutes later, it finally reached 30%.

"Ding! The analysis progress of [Inferior Exoskeleton Armor] has reached 30%. You have obtained a new blueprint, [Inferior Mechanical Legs]."

The final progress was stuck at 41%.

Although she didn't rise any further, Anran was already quite satisfied.

Because she checked the performance of this [inferior mechanical foot].

This is mechanical armor covering the lower legs and feet.

It can be roughly understood as a special kind of "boot".

Of course, its design wasn't very appealing, as it was based on original blueprints that hadn't been modified.

The footwear is entirely mechanical, thus requiring a strength level of 15 for the wearer.

Anran's strength is exactly 15 points.

Powered by both electricity and a "black technology" pneumatic tank, the [inferior mechanical foot tool] has a battery life of about one hour.

The properties under rated conditions are as follows:

+15 speed, jump height*3, armor: 30/30.

The exterior is blue and black, with a hollow design around the feet, while the area covering the calves features three steel pillars, pneumatic wiring, and an electric drive system.

There is a raised air pressure groove near the knees on each foot. When the air pressure groove is activated, the energy consumption will become ten times that before, but the +30 speed and 4 times the jumping ability can also have unexpected effects.

Ugliness is not a problem, as long as it performs well.

Moreover, the design of this foot is quite slender, clearly allowing for additional decoration.

You can design it to look exactly what you like.

In other words, this thing's internal game can also change its appearance based on your own "character creation".

Although Anran really wanted to finish it right away, it was already getting late.

An Ran now understands that such complex machinery is difficult to manufacture quickly before one has sufficient skill.

So she used the remaining time to make two [777] and gained another 1500 experience points.

The props are all ready. I'll train Ella tonight, and we can hang up the sign and open for business tomorrow.

Their accommodations are very close to both the R&D center and Jiuge's branch, so the security is actually very high.

It doesn't matter if there's not much foot traffic for the time being.

Zhou Jieyu is now a well-known "strategy master" and "wise pro gamer" in Shuangyue City.

If you just ask her to help promote the game on the forums, she'll make a fortune.

It's so satisfying to train a few players who are unreliable in some aspects but quite reliable in others to help with odd jobs!

"I am back!"

Anran unlocked the door with her key and went inside.

No feedback was received from Ella.

Anran found it strange; was Ella not at home?

Ella has a key, and she can take photos.

However, An Ran quickly dismissed the idea. After changing her shoes and putting her backpack on the ground, she took only two steps before seeing Ella sitting on a specially made metal stool, staring intently at the computer screen.

Meanwhile, Ella placed her left and right hands on the mouse, and her right hand on the keyboard.

The crisp "pat-pat" sound was incessant.

This is……

An Ran quietly walked behind Ella, past her small shoulder, and onto the computer screen appeared a finely modeled interior of a building. Ella was controlling a woman dressed in leather clothes, fighting zombies with a rifle.

"..."

This……

An Ran was completely speechless.

She couldn't think of any words to describe her feelings.

Do you know what it feels like to watch NPCs play 3D games in a virtual game?

In particular, Anran discovered that Ella was also a father figure.

She had such a perfect aim.

The zombies were like stationary targets, and Ella quickly shot them in the head.

The score in the bottom left corner of the screen is also constantly increasing.

Although it was impressive, An Ran thought to herself, "I'm doomed."

Judging from Ella's engrossed expression, she's definitely become a little internet addict.

She was so engrossed in the game that she didn't even notice her older sister standing behind her.

Finally, after a prolonged battle, although Ella was a good shot, she ran out of supplies quickly because she kept wandering around in the same place, and eventually fell to the horde of corpses.

"Ah! I lost again." Ella closed the game.

She turned around and suddenly said to An Ran, "An Ran, you're back!"

So she did know I was behind her.

An Ran thought to herself.

"Have you had dinner yet?" An Ran asked.

Ella shook her head: "Not yet."
