Poverty makes me capable of anything.

This is the meaning of life.

But in reality, this was just the Night Lord testing his own abilities.

He succeeded.

The [Netherworld Return] state was successfully created on Chen Tong, and Chen Tong will become more and more powerful as the number of killings increases.

Chen Tong was aware of this, but her emotions had already been stripped away when she was resurrected.

So this was just an ordinary thing for her.

After a moment of contemplation, An Ran said to Chen Tong, "Help me rescue Ji'er, and I can let you go back."

Jill is imprisoned in the core territory of the Night Lord. With An Ran's strength, recklessly rushing in would only lead to death.

Chen Tong's consciousness was still a little hazy after her memories were read.

She stood there stunned for several seconds before shaking her head and saying, "I refuse."

"Do you really want to die like this?" An Ran asked back.

Chen Tong did not answer.

Anran said, "If you die like this, Jill's fate will definitely be very tragic. Once she is taken away by those who are at odds with you, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Chen Tong's eyelids twitched.

She had no feelings, but self-interest was still driving her forward.

An Ran's words hit Chen Tong's weak spot.

If she dies, no one will be able to stop those people from harming Jill.

Even if we hand Jill over to the Lord of the Night directly, there are still big problems.

Chen Tong closed her eyes.

At this moment, a question suddenly occurred to her: why did she insist on taking Jill away in the first place?

They wanted to train Jill to become a powerful assistant to the Lord of the Night, in order to repay the Lord of the Night for saving their lives.

No, the question is, what exactly is gratitude?

Chen Tong couldn't understand this emotion.

That means it can't possibly be related to gratitude.

Her brows furrowed naturally.

"Let me think about it first."

An Ran nodded: "Then take your time to think about it, but don't keep me waiting too long."

It seems what I said earlier had an effect.

After ending her conversation with Chen Tong, Ciqiya finally raised her own question.

Who is Jill?

An Ran replied, "She's a foodie I brought from the neighboring star system. According to Chen Tong, she has the potential to become a star system ruler."

"Huh?" Tsykya exclaimed in surprise.

Anran explained it to her.

"All elements?!"

If An Ran is not mistaken, then with proper nurturing, Jill has a real chance of growing into a star field ruler.

They must be saved.

Tsykya made a decision immediately.

In this way, the Silent City can befriend two people who have a high probability of becoming the rulers of the star field in the future.

"Eh—"

At this moment, the panda, who had been standing by for a long time after being summoned, could finally get a word in edgewise.

She looked at An Ran, then at Ciqiya, and finally thought of Ella and herself.

"really……"

The panda drew a conclusion.

"Anran, you just like this type!"

"..."

This is all a misunderstanding.

It was just a coincidence.

Ciqiya sneered: "You really are a lolicon, but I'm sorry, I'm not interested in women."

“I don’t have those kinds of feelings for you,” An Ran explained.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in men either," Tsychia added.

No.

Even if you say that, I really don't have those feelings for you right now.

An Ran's explanation was completely ignored by Ciqiya.

There's nothing we can do about that.

Having gained a moment of free time, Anran checked the quest rewards for the hidden quest "The Last Man" triggered by killing Bridges.

Rewards include 15 billion Free Experience Points, a special item [Clone Card], and 150 Free Attribute Points.

Anran has invested all her attribute points into Intelligence. The [Clone Card] allows Anran to summon Bridges' black clone to fight, which lasts for 4 hours.

"Wouldn't that be even better?"

An Ran had an idea: let the Crimson King and Bridges fight at the same time!

This is simply the most perfect teamwork in the world.

With the blame placed on his head, Bridges couldn't shake it off no matter how hard he tried.

As for Sawyer's discovery that Bridges was already dead.

"No, no, no, it's still alive and kicking, how could it be dead?"

You idiots, you've all been fooled!

That was just Bridges's clever escape tactic.

A fabricated cover-up – Anran.

The real mastermind—Bridges!

He managed to escape from the Star Domain Overlord, but ultimately, due to an accident, he inadvertently revealed his wolfish nature, which was a real pity.

Then, An Ran leveled up to level 190 in one go.

We've entered a new realm.

An Ran let out a long sigh of relief.

If she uses that triple experience card properly, and another great battle ensues, she will be able to glimpse a corner of the Star Domain Ruler.

We'll see how the next version evolves.

It took Anran and Ciqiya several days to return to Qike Star.

During this period, the Exiled Empire achieved overwhelming victories in the Second War Zone.

The defenders of the Eternal Star Road managed to break through with great difficulty, suffering considerable losses.

Especially the reinforcements that arrived later were caught and given a good beating by the players.

This war made the people of both star systems fully aware of the players' power.

The Undying Stranger

A born warrior

[You become stronger with each death]

Many titles have been bestowed upon players.

Since most players are currently active in the Silent Lands, the rulers in other places are getting envious.

"We need to find a way to get some over here."

Bartholomew, the Lord of the Night, said to Sawyer.

He didn't care much about the players' combat strength; to him, such a level of combat strength was no different from children playing house. He only coveted the players' ability to revive.

If he could master this ability, he might become a god!

Sawyer nodded solemnly.

"We need to find a way to attract some outsiders to come here."

At this point, the routes for players to access other maps can be said to have been officially opened.

Many players who hadn't made a name for themselves in the Silent Land started to get restless.

If it's dark in the east, it's bright in the west.

If you can't make a name for yourself in the world of artisans in the Silent Land, then go somewhere else.

Just then, many people were willing to provide free flights for players, and a large number of players embarked on their journeys to other maps.

Upon hearing this news, Tsykya secretly rejoiced.

"Fortunately, we adopted Anran's suggestion before, and there are still quite a few strangers who are willing to stay in the Silent Land."

This is actually thanks to Virginia's recent series of public appearances.

The moment the commanding older sister appeared, many players were instantly captivated.

Joining any star system ruler's subordinate is the same as joining, of course I'll choose the good-looking one!

He can make everyone angry just by calling her "wife".
