Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"In order to buy enough time, I had to take out all my precious weapons and continue fighting them even after losing half of my assets."

"Ok?"

An Ran sat down next to Tsycia: "What's even more difficult is that while Ella and the two Guardians were attacking the fattest person, the remaining three were attacking me. You know, I'm just a mechanic. They still dared to hit me. It's really too ruthless..."

Ciqiya nodded in agreement.

Damn, three against one, and they almost killed him, forcing the other side to run away. That's really vicious!

An Ran's worried expression was eventually replaced by a smile.

“Fortunately,” she said, “thanks to my years of accumulation, even after my remaining assets were reduced by half, I managed to hold on until those people had no choice but to leave, thanks to my indomitable spirit.”

"..."

An Ran breathed a sigh of relief and patted the flat of her chest: "Fortunately, although the sacrifice was huge, you managed to escape the encirclement woven by those giants. The result is not bad."

There's one more person you're just going to ignore?

An Ran continued to explain the stakes to Tsykia: "These giant spirits are adept at using intrigue and trickery. They've even impersonated members of the chaotic faction. Given their methods, if you were actually taken back to their base, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if you displayed the strength of a Star Domain Overlord and forced them back, your whereabouts would be exposed. If someone saw that you were seriously injured and launched a sneak attack, another great war would likely break out. Fortunately, fortunately..."

"Sacrificing myself for a better world is not a loss, not... sigh."

An Ran shook her head and stood up. Although she said it wasn't a loss, Shan Liansheng's pained expression convinced Ci Qiya.

If she didn't care, she wouldn't be lingering here.

Tsykia said, "Although the Giant Spirit Clan's sphere of influence has shrunk, they are still quite wealthy."

An Ran shook her head: "The money of the Giant Spirit Clan is ultimately the money of the Giant Spirit Clan."

I bother!

Tsyk-ya sprang to her feet in one swift motion.

Does that mean my money is your money?

"Don't worry." An Ran gently patted Tsykya's helmet. "I will ensure your safety until you return to normal."

"..."

Beneath the heavy helmet, Tsukiya's lips moved a few times, but in the end, she didn't say a word.

She plopped down, but because the mattress was soft, she was bounced up and down.

"..."

This time, it was finally An Ran's turn to be speechless.

She caught Tsykia, who was about to fall to the ground, and said helplessly, "You're supposed to be a Star Domain Ruler, can you please stop being so out of touch?"

Ha ha……

Ciqiya glanced at Anran.

You're a Star Slayer with a very high chance of becoming the ruler of the star field, can't you be a little more dignified?

Ciqiya waved her hand: "Let me think about it."

"Hmm? What are you thinking about..."

"It's important."

Tsukiya's expression turned serious. Looking at the face that had turned orange-red under the helmet, An Ran temporarily gave up on his "attack" on Tsukiya.

Let's talk about the purse later; she seems to have something really important to do.

In fact, Tsykya is considering investing in Anran.

Compared to those large conglomerates that span an entire star system, Silent City is dirt poor.

How could less than two thousand years of accumulation compare to the accumulation of others over tens of thousands of years, or even longer?

But compared to Anran, Silent City is undoubtedly a world-dominating entity.

Let alone her and Virginia, even Cherny and Willock, Anran couldn't beat them now.

For Silent City, investing in Anran as a bettor is not a significant burden.

But what are the gains?

It's much more realistic than this ambiguous relationship we have now.

Tsykia then thought of the Stranger Gladiator Tournament, which had been advertised for many days.

"How about this?" Tszky suddenly said.

"what happened?"

Ciqiya said, "I don't want the share of the profits from this Stranger's Gladiator Tournament that belongs to Silent City. Consider it all a gift to you as my investment in you."

"you sure?"

An Ran looked at Ciqiya in surprise.

The profits from this competition are absolutely staggering.

Tsukiya just gave up like that?

Will the Virginia Overlord agree?

Ciqiya said nonchalantly, "She and I are the same person. My decision is her decision. No problem."

Anran nodded.

Although Tsykia said that she and Virginia were the same person, their personalities were completely different, so Anran was still a little worried that she would be scolded.

No matter how you look at it, Virginia seems to be the one on top.

"Let's vote."

An Ran looked directly at Ciqiya, and her expression became serious.

"That's right, throw the ball."

An Ran nodded gently: "Then what do you want me, or rather, what do you want the entire transdimensional space-time to do?"

Tsykia said, "It's simple: advance to become a Star Domain Ruler, and then protect Silent City when necessary."

A sanctuary in the silent city?

An Ran thought to herself that even if she advanced to the Star Domain Ruler, she would definitely not be a match for Tsycia and Virginia for a while.

Isn't it redundant to send her to protect Silent City?

But she agreed anyway, because there's no such thing as too many strong people.

Perhaps Virginia sensed something and wanted to build up her strength before the Forerunners' massive retaliation came.

"make a deal."

Ciqiya said with satisfaction, "That profit only covers the initial investment. You can purchase any materials you want in Silent City at cost price in the future."

Do you get a discount if I buy more?

"It's already at cost price, and you still want a discount?"

"Isn't this an investment?"

"Investment is only worthwhile if the investee demonstrates sufficient value."

Is it valuable?

An Ran smiled slightly.

Let the Giant Spirits be our witness.

When Tsykia returns from the summit, she may see a completely different version of herself.

"Then you just watch."

Tsychia saw in Anran the same confidence that Cherny and Willock had once possessed.

That dazzling light is precisely what countless star field rulers want to win over.

Fortunately, An Ran wasn't very famous at the time, and it was also fortunate that the door An Ran opened was near Silent City. Even more fortunate was that An Ran and Ella had a very good relationship.

This way, she can establish a good relationship with An Ran as soon as possible.

I just hope that Anran won't suffer a setback like Willock did at the peak of her career and never recover.

After leaving Tsykya's bedroom, Anran immediately directed the mobile factory in the Silent Land to produce several ANR series mechanical puppets.

Since Tsykia has decided to give her all the profits from the competition, An Ran naturally has to find a way to expand the influence of this competition as much as possible so that she can earn more money to support her mechanical legion and the Hyperdimensional Realm.

ANR-109 located the guild leaders of Warhammer, Red Nova, and others, and held a brief internal meeting with them.

At the meeting, An Ran clarified the key focus of the preparations for this competition.

【publicity】

Promote it aggressively.

If this competition is successfully organized, everyone will receive a substantial reward.

In particular, players who make outstanding contributions will have the opportunity to obtain a planet as their base—this is not an attractive condition in itself, since there are simply too many barren planets, and anyone can occupy one.

But Enron assured her that she would provide support for the transformation, including environmental modifications and base construction, which would be free of charge.

"free!"

The eyes lit up as he saw the rising red star becoming a powerful force.

After the war in Thousand Wheel Bay ended, players had established several factions, and he was no longer the only one.

But now another opportunity has arisen—

The first player faction to own a habitable planet as its base of operations!

The moment they thought of this title, the Red New Star decided to give it their all.

"Done."

The benefits this name will bring will be far greater than you can imagine.

After being buffed by ANR-109, the players in the Time-Space faction went all out to create momentum.

Besides promoting themselves on the forum and traveling around in spaceships to give promotional speeches, they also started constantly climbing the arena ladder rankings.
