Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Because he is an enemy, such a person cannot be allowed to live.

Anran made her decision.

You're the one, Brother Ma!

Brother Ma was inexplicably dragged into the fray.

Because An Ran focused solely on beating him up, completely ignoring his buddies, "Ma" could only watch helplessly as his buddies scattered and disappeared without a trace.

"Why the hell am I so unlucky?!"

"We will definitely avenge you!"

No, I don't need you to help me get revenge, I just need you to take me away from here.

Hey you old bastards, don't you dare leave!

"Haha, didn't you just say you were going to pay me back double?"

While Brother "Ma" was still immersed in the sadness of his buddies flying away in all directions due to the impending disaster, the man who had just ridden Brother "Ma" arrived.

"you……"

"hehe."

With a slap, the strongman from the distant branch felt extremely pleased.

Awesome!

He turned to An Ran and said, "He is the commander-in-chief of one of the attacking forces in the chaos."

"Oh?"

An Ran was startled.

That's right, his rank is indeed one of the highest.

“No wonder.” An Ran nodded and said, “No wonder he’s so brave. We shouldn’t humiliate such a brave man; we should just kill him.”

what? !

The giant spirit who was speaking to An Ran was taken aback.

"Him? Brave?"

An Ran countered, "Is something wrong?"

The man quickly shook his head: "No, no, no problem, you're right."

Big sister, you're the strongest person here. If you say so, then so be it!

Brother Ma was already on his deathbed, but when he heard An Ran say these words, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Perhaps this is the mindset that only true strong people possess.

They do not bully the weak because of their unparalleled strength, and they can even see the strengths of those who are inferior to them.

That's truly admirable.

Just before leaving, Brother Ma suddenly had this thought: if their Giant Spirit Clan had a few more people like him, things probably wouldn't have come to this.

Brother Ma has passed away.

At this moment, An Ran also received a game notification.

You have killed...

The kill reward is 76 billion experience points.

You have completed the hidden quest "Warrior's Heart". Rewards include 2 million Free Experience, 1 Advanced Strength Enhancement Fruit, and 1 fragment of the title "[Highly Respected]".

"..."

An Ran was stunned.

What on earth is this hidden quest, "Heart of a Warrior"?

She quickly checked the mission instructions.

One passage reads, "[You have earned the heartfelt admiration of a martial arts master]."

What?

An Ran was stunned.

She rubbed her eyes, a strange action that left the other giants dumbfounded.

"Um, senior, you..."

"Screw you, I'm not even thirty yet..."

An Ran yelled at the giant, then ignored his embarrassed expression.

Not even thirty years old, well, women are more sensitive about age, maybe we should add a zero to that.

However, it's best not to expose this kind of thing.

An Ran carefully reviewed the task several times.

It's finally confirmed that it was the deceased "Brother Ma" who admired her.

"After I killed him, he actually admired me. Is he out of his mind?"

No, no, that's not right.

An Ran then shook her head.

How could it be so superficial?

An explanation immediately and automatically filled in her mind—

Brother Ma was once a martial artist who looked down on the "opportunistic" profession of mechanics, until he met An Ran and was defeated by her in a crushing manner. Brother Ma finally realized his shallowness.

"So, mechanics can be this strong! I was wrong before!"

Brother Ma is gone, but his respect for An Ran is not.

As the saying goes, the spirit endures!

And so, An Ran discovered that she could also complete a series of tasks such as [Heart of the Mage] and [Heart of the Superpowered].

These tasks don't reward much experience, but the fruit adds 20 attribute points, so I ate it.

That prestigious title is a reward for completing a series of "Heart of XX" quests; it's a legendary title.

The death of "Brother Ma" pointed out a "bright" path for An Ran.

At the same time, he filled the last gap in the title [Grandmaster's Sword Lv4], and the title was successfully upgraded.

After the skill [Fear Nova] is activated, damage is increased by 18% and damage taken is increased by 2% for 5 minutes.

The mental skill [Secret Sword] increases the duration of stun by one second for every 5% increase in mental attribute.

At the same time, the passive strength bonus is also increased to 30 points.

“Give him a proper burial,” An Ran said, looking at Brother Ma.

Those who traced back to the distant branch understood An Ran's intentions.

After this local war ended, "Brother Ma" was buried thousands of meters underground, where the strata were indeed quite thick.

"..."

In short, everything went smoothly.

An Ran left the place, completely satisfied.

Those who came from a distant branch bid farewell to Anran with joyful gestures.

Chick was overjoyed upon hearing the news.

No matter how despicable An Ran was before, her joining the war truly changed its course.

Therefore, although Anran went too far, but...

"Of course we should forgive her."

Hehehe...

……

On the other side, the mercenaries who had finally escaped from the guardians fled in panic.

They originally planned to leave the Rose Star Sector directly, but considering that their mercenary business still needed to continue, they turned around and went to the headquarters of the Chaotic Branch.

They brought news of the defeat before the other strongmen who fled later.

The news came like a hurricane, shocking Messer and others who were meeting to discuss the objectives of the second phase of the war.

"Lost? How did you lose?"

"There was a mechanic..."

After that, blah blah blah.

The giant who had been ruthlessly extorted by An Ran immediately recognized her.

"It's her, it's her, it's definitely her!"

How cunning!

"A treacherous and shameless scoundrel."

"Didn't we just give her some money? Why is she going to help the people from Zhuiyuan again?"

This is a breach of faith!

"I will spread her story throughout the entire mercenary world so that she will never be able to get another job."

"By the way, what's her name again?"

"..."

The meeting room fell into a deathly silence.

"you……"

The group's gaze turned to the giant who had the most contact with An Ran.
