Poverty makes me capable of anything.

It seems that pandas hold many secrets.

Ciqiya wisely refrained from asking further questions.

An Ran first helped the panda forge a new identity, and then assisted her in creating a "persona". After all, it would be too inappropriate to use a fake identity to swindle money from the Giant Spirit Clan if she still used her current appearance.

An Ran created a new character design for the panda based on her own devilish physique, giving it a curvaceous figure that left An Qianqian completely stunned.

Her childhood dream was to have a curvy figure, and now she's finally achieved it, but look at other people...

Being able to transform truly allows one to do whatever they want.

"Do you need any underlings?" Tsykya suddenly asked at this moment.

Of course there's a shortage.

Under An Ran's persistent questioning, Tsykya offered up seven puppets.

These puppets are all level 172, so they can be put to good use.

Ciqiya said, "Actually, there are even more powerful ones, but they all stayed in Silent City."

With everything ready, the panda headed to the rendezvous point.

Because its strength wasn't particularly outstanding, the panda wasn't highly regarded, but it still managed to sneak in.

With the panda indicating the location, Anran could easily lurk nearby.

Two days later, the first large-scale contact in the civil war of the Giant Spirits finally arrived.

Chapter 54 Safe and Sound

As dusk approached, the sky over the eastern hemisphere of the planet Burta burned like fire.

The crimson clouds in the sky transformed into various shapes, and the Giant Spirit Clan military base located beneath them was bustling with activity.

The shadow of war is looming, and no one can say for sure when the rebellious faction will launch its attack. Therefore, the defense of the planet Burta must not be relaxed for a moment.

As an outsider, the panda had no authority to enter the military base on Burta. She wasn't even on Burta; she only left a puppet on the surface to handle emergencies.

This was partly to contain the approaching enemy forces, and partly...

“It seems that Chick and the others don’t really trust these hired people either,” Anran said.

From what she knew, Chick wasn't targeting anyone.

He was just trying to show that he had already paid the money and that he was wary of them. If anyone acted as an "insider," then they shouldn't blame him for not being reasonable with them.

"As long as they pay, that's fine."

Tsykya yawned.

She wasn't really concerned about the Giant Spirit Clan; she was just keeping An Ran company here.

What puzzled her was why An Ran was so interested in the internal strife of the Giant Spirit Clan.

Just because of An Qianqian?

To be honest, An Qianqian herself didn't have any deep feelings for the Giant Spirit Clan.

Upon closer reflection, Ciqia realized that Anran was a very nosy and meddlesome person.

She exclaimed, "It's amazing that you haven't been beaten to death yet, given how much you love meddling in other people's business."

An Ran chuckled: "That's why I say I'm very lucky."

"Ha ha……"

Ciqiya turned her head away.

Given An Ran's self-serving nature, there must be a reason why she likes to meddle in other people's business so much.

Could it be that—

She has a disease that causes her to die if she doesn't meddle in other people's business?

Or rather—

She has a very special talent: she can become stronger simply by meddling in other people's business.

This explanation feels both reasonable and unreasonable.

Tsyk-ya was completely baffled.

That is to say, she is relatively kind. If those "mad scientists" had met An Ran, they might have arrested her and studied her.

Just then, Anran called out, "Someone's coming."

Tsykya then put aside those strange ideas.

Her gaze shifted to the large screen in front of her, where countless warships flew over into the deep starry sky.

Once the target entered the attack range, the attacking fleet and the defenders of the planet Burta engaged in a relentless exchange of fire.

Although the Giants are a race that originated from martial arts, they have invested heavily in fleets and anti-ship systems since entering the interstellar age.

The war was fought quite spectacularly, with countless beams of light and live ammunition striking the shimmering energy shield surrounding the planet Burta.

An Ran watched as the shield value displayed on the sturdy shield gradually decreased from [100%], and when it dropped to [50%], the shield suddenly went dark.

A penetrating bullet spun and struck the weak point of the shield. The blue light surged violently like ocean waves. The next second, the lattice on the shield was shattered into pieces, and it looked like it was about to collapse.

"This is a trap. No wonder they set the shield so far out. It seems they plan to sacrifice this planet to create fighter jets," An Ran said.

Tsykia countered, "A trap?"

"The shield isn't broken yet."

Ciqiya frowned.

She could sense that there was still energy fluctuating, but there was just too much energy flowing across the battlefield, and it would be difficult for her to distinguish it with her level of understanding, unless Virginia came in person.

But An Ran could tell at a glance!

Is this a special ability she has as an Ether Mechanic, or does she have some other ability?

Ciqiya's eyes flickered uncertainly.

Aside from that initial anticipation, she was now becoming increasingly interested in An Ran. Both her personality and her abilities were incredibly captivating, making her want to explore the world around her.

At this moment, the battlefield situation was evolving just as An Ran had predicted.

The defenders of Burta deliberately loosened their shields, and when the attackers' vanguard abandoned their comrades and ignored the surrounding space defense stations, eager to seize advantageous terrain, the "collapsed" shields re-established themselves.

"Time to make dumplings!"

The well-prepared garrison troops stormed out of the nest, and the pandas, who had been guarding the area for half a day, also received their orders—

"Take the enemy general's head from among ten thousand troops!"

If you can't take it, then try to disrupt the enemy fleet's formation.

The rewards for achieving different goals will naturally vary in amount.

The panda leading six puppets into battle seems like a god of war at first glance.

Due to her spatial abilities, the outer warships were either torn to shreds or banished into spatial rifts.

These warships are no different from demons when facing ordinary people.

But faced with the panda that now looked like a demon, they had no power to resist.

Not to mention that it's practically impossible to hit the panda, even if you do, under the effect of her unique talent called "Damage Atomization," the single-point damage will be diluted into damage to the entire body—somewhat like increasing the area of ​​impact.

It could have dealt 5000 damage, but after dilution, it only deals 3 or 400 damage.

Given the panda's current recovery speed, this amount of damage is practically negligible; its health will be fully restored in the blink of an eye.

The news quickly reached the command center of one of the attacking armies in the chaos.

The giant, who was nearly five meters tall, had a furrowed brow.

According to their pre-arranged plan, now is not the time to launch a full-scale attack.

However, if left unchecked, it will certainly have a significant impact on the morale of the fleet.

His gaze finally settled on the hired magician.

"Stop her."

"Is it enough to just stop them?"

The magician, who had been resting with his eyes closed, twitched his eyelids and looked at his employer opposite him with a dazed gaze.

His eyes weren't even fully open, and he seemed completely indifferent to the matter.

"Just stop them, that's enough. I don't want any unnecessary complications," the giant said.

The mage nodded slightly: "Since you've put it that way, then I have no objections. Originally, I was thinking of just killing her, but now I can save some effort."

The giant urged, "Go quickly."

The magician chuckled: "What's the rush? Don't be fooled by her current antics; she's just waiting for me to catch her."

The giant was taken aback: "If you can really capture her, it wouldn't be a bad thing."

"Then you just wait, I'll be right back."

The magician left the command room with a grin.

When his figure appeared in deep space, several giant spirits immediately voiced their dissatisfaction.

"These mercenaries are all incredibly arrogant. Anyone who didn't know better would think we begged them to come."

The giant said coldly, "We are weak now, and that's precisely when we need them. Let them run rampant for a while. I just hope he can really stop that rampaging woman, otherwise..."

The giant's expression was slightly solemn.

Use the main force as bait, and send most of the strong warriors to other sub-battlefields to open up the situation.

If the plan is exposed prematurely, the main force will be in trouble.

He prayed silently in his heart.

While keeping an eye on the situation of the vanguard on the planet Burta, they waited for news from the mages.
