Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Twin stars.

Circular zone.

And that blue gas giant that just flew by!

"Found it!"

The players cheered.

Chapter 12 Ah, True Ancestor!

Wow, you got lucky again and landed a mission!

During the video call, Li Zhuying looked at Zhou Jieyu, who was smiling broadly, with resentment.

She felt she should make a meme of Zhou Jieyu being arrested.

Zhou Jieyu is among the players who find the hidden map every time!

What incredible luck!

Li Zhuying once suspected that Zhou Jieyu was God's illegitimate daughter.

Tell me, how many times did you step on the ground today?

Zhou Jieyu's smile vanished instantly, and she retorted angrily, her neck stiff.

[Nonsense! Li Zhuying, if you keep spouting nonsense, I'll go and seal your mouth shut right now!]

Li Zhuying sneered.

"Then come on then! You make it sound like I'm scared of you. Hahaha, you noob mechanic, I'm a level 118 psychic! Come here, I promise I won't kill you!"

Hehehe

Zhou Jieyu pulled Lin Yumo, who was helplessly propping her cheek up to look at the stars, to the side.

I have a level 123 Sword Master here.

[If you're so capable, then don't let Xiao Momo help you.]

[Yu Mo and I are best friends on the same side. If you insult me, you're insulting Yu Mo, because Yu Mo found this hidden map with me!]

Zhou Jieyu shouted loudly.

"..."

Li Zhuying pursed her lips.

If you're so capable, then don't try to ride on other people's coattails.

I earned my position by virtue of my own abilities, so why isn't that enough?

【Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm——】

A low, guttural sound escaped Li Zhuying's throat, laced with deep dissatisfaction.

The longer we've been apart, the more this guy is asking for trouble.

This requires us to go back in time to six months ago.

Because she was playing the game too recklessly, Zhou Jieyu was kidnapped by her mother, who had rushed back from the company.

After much persuasion and promises that she would definitely listen to her brother, Zhou Jieyu was released again.

When she logged back in, version 3.0 had already been launched, and the time-space fleet had set sail for the Dust Territory.

Zhou Jieyu originally planned to go with them, but because of her promise, she had no choice but to join the charge.

So Zhou Jieyu and Li Zhuying separated.

Li Zhuying is still slacking off in the Time Traveler.

Zhou Jieyu and Lin Yumo followed the crowd to the quiet place.

Alright, alright, I don't have time to chat with you now. The mission is important. We'll talk again after I finish it.

Zhou Jieyu waved her hand, full of self-satisfaction.

The daily task of striking Li Zhuying was completed ahead of schedule, which made her feel relaxed and comfortable, like soaking in a hot spring.

You just wait!

Li Zhuying said angrily.

Oh, right.

Zhou Jieyu suddenly turned around.

How about I do a live stream and show you our mission process? Let you see for yourself.

Go to hell!

【Hehehe】

Seeing that Li Zhuying was about to pounce on the screen, Zhou Jieyu decisively ended the private chat.

The curve of her lips was enough to show how happy she was.

Lin Yumo opened her mouth.

She originally intended to try and persuade Zhou Jieyu.

Constantly provoking Li Zhuying might ruin their relationship.

But thinking back, isn't this just their daily routine? If there's a day when they don't argue, that would mean their relationship is cracking.

Lin Yumo shook her head.

As a quiet and unassuming person, Lin Yumo's greatest pleasure while playing the game was watching Zhou Jieyu and Li Zhuying argue.

Ok.

Although she always acted as if she was very unwilling, it was all an act.

According to Lin Yumo's observation, she found that although Li Zhuying was still very concerned about An Ran's affairs, she was no longer as enthusiastic as before. The most obvious evidence was that she had started to delay updating her work.

The erotic novel "Anran's Trip to Mount Saint" has not been updated for half a month.

Li Zhuying seems to be focusing more of her energy on Zhou Jieyu.

This is a very important signal.

Are these two seemingly incompatible best friends finally about to face a clear winner?

That's incredible.

What are you thinking about?

At this moment, Zhou Jieyu patted Lin Yumo on the shoulder.

Lin Yumo quickly snapped out of her reverie and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just wondering what we might encounter during this mission."

"That's right, that's just your style, Yu Mo."

Zhou Jieyu chuckled again.

Not long ago, they found themselves in the starry sky displayed on the game's login screen.

But after the spaceship continued flying forward for another half hour, all the players on board received two game notifications.

One of them is a notification to unlock a new map.

New map: [Hometown of the Crimson Demon Clan].

One of them is a notification that a hidden quest has been triggered.

Hidden quest: [The Secrets of the Crimson Demon Clan]

At this moment, the players are piloting their spaceships toward the red dot marked on the map.

These players, including Zhou Jieyu, were employed by Chronosphere and had signed confidentiality agreements with Warhammer and others.

During the spaceship's journey, Anran received intelligence from Warhammer.

"found it?"

The speed was somewhat beyond her expectations.

At this time, the crackdown on the Protoss was just beginning, and the situation was still unclear, so Anran couldn't spare the time.

"Let them continue exploring for a while. Remember to send back any important information as soon as possible," An Ran instructed.

Warhammer simply enabled the players on the other side to have 24/7 video calls.

The day after finding the homeland of the Red Demon Clan, the spaceship finally arrived near the red dot on the map.

What appeared before Zhou Jieyu and the others was a huge red planet.

The probes on the spacecraft concluded that the red layer was the atmosphere of this unnamed planet.

Let's go.

Without any hesitation, the spaceship plunged directly into the atmosphere.

Red fog obscured the view through the cockpit windshield.

When the spaceship was halfway through its journey, a light drizzle suddenly began to fall around it.

The earth was shrouded in a misty fog due to the cold rain.

This is a scene completely different from what I imagined.

Beneath the intense red lay a blanket of cold rain that covered the entire continent.

Players initially thought this would be a world filled with furnaces.

You should know that the race living here is called the Crimson Demon Clan.

After passing through the lowest layer of clouds, the world finally became clear.

Everywhere you look are jagged mountains, and from above, these mountains have no beauty whatsoever.

It's a red mountain.
