Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Not at all, not at all."

Ultimately, Virginia received 4% of the remaining revenue from Enron.

In fact, considering that Silent City has contributed greatly to every major competition, it is entirely reasonable for them to share these benefits.

Virginia was indeed not easy to get along with, which made An Ran miss Tsycia.

"I guess I'm better at bluffing... oops, taking care of kids."

While Anran was watching the final stage of the competition with peace of mind, she was also creating Guardians and Void Energy Extraction Devices.

Travelers from the distant borders of the Eternal Star Road also stepped into the Silent Land.

"She may not be back yet."

"Whether she comes back or not, let's go to the finals of the Stranger's Gladiator Tournament first."

There are five people in total.

They looked unremarkable; after disembarking from an ultra-long-haul flight, they transferred to a domestic passenger ship in the Silent Land and arrived at the final venue on the third day.

Meanwhile, the Crimson King, now fused with the flames of evolution, also began his operation with the imposter.

Before they arrived in person, they instructed their agents, who were operating nearby, to contact Anran at the Silent Land.

The Crimson Lotus King clearly remembered Anran telling her that she would return to the Silent Land after the matter of the Giant Spirit Clan was resolved.

Chapter 65 Once you step through this door, you'll be free!

The final arena for the Strangers' Gladiator Tournament is on the port planet Eland, the most populated planet in the Silent Lands.

The place was already crowded enough, but as the competition progressed, the number of people in Airland became even more outrageous.

The daily influx of tourists to and from the airport was far more overwhelming than the Spring Festival travel rush, so much so that Silent City eventually had to set up numerous "stands" on the outskirts.

You can't get into Aland, but since you've gone through all this trouble to get here, it wouldn't be right to just turn back. So let's stay in outer space!

They created a plot of land in outer space, euphemistically called a VIP seating area where no outsiders would disturb us.

Although there was still some distance from the stadium, the viewing experience was still quite good thanks to Silent City's superb live streaming technology.

Most importantly—

After discussion, the final battle of the gladiatorial tournament was moved to the center of the VIP seating area.

Silent City created a ring world there specifically for combat.

This news caused VIP tickets to be sold at exorbitant prices, making it extremely difficult for many powerful and influential people to obtain them even with their money.

After a thorough financial review, Silent City discovered that, even after deducting the costs of broadcasting and the construction of the Ringworld, Silent City could still earn tens of trillions of energy coins.

Furthermore, the VIP seating arrangement allowed Silent City to have pleasant exchanges with some conglomerates they had never met before.

Perhaps in the future we can engage in trade, allowing the "tentacles" of Silent City to extend even further.

"As expected of you!"

Looking at the busy scene at the ticket window, Cherny looked at Anran, who was two heads shorter than him, as if she were a rare animal.

Why is An Ran so much smarter than him, even though they are both human?

Cherny sighed, "Ah, the new generation surpasses the old..."

An Ran immediately added, "The old guard dies on the beach."

"..."

cough cough.

Cherny coughed a few times, his expression unchanged.

An Ran is now a big star in the entire Silent City. Although she has not joined Silent City, the Lord's high regard for An Ran is obvious.

To be honest, Cherny also admires Anran.

He had never seen anyone grow up as fast as An Ran, which was unbelievable.

“I’m going to oversee the construction of the Tour of the World for the finals. Anran, if you have time, you can wander around. If needed, you can choose a puppet to be your guide,” Cherny said.

An Ran nodded and thanked her, saying, "No need for that. I'm a mechanic, after all. How could I possibly get lost?"

"Then please do as you please."

Cherny left with a smile.

He is a person who loves learning.

He spent a long time forging iron to temper his character, and now he has a basic understanding of forging techniques. Now, Cherny has discovered that there are many things he can learn from Anran.

Including her way of thinking, mindset, and life trajectory...

Perhaps, an optimistic and positive attitude can also help him improve his skills quickly.

And then there's the adventure.

When the Controller tried to recruit her, she calmly refused, saying her destiny was to take risks. Looking back, perhaps it was precisely these experiences that allowed her to progress so quickly.

"I can't stay stuck here forever. I'll talk to the Controller after the competition ends."

Cherny muttered to himself, and his figure quickly disappeared into the square.

An Ran was left alone again.

Ella and Panda are currently guarding the Void Energy Extraction Device.

The panda's eyes gleamed with envy, while Ella was fascinated by the beautiful scenery displayed by the extraction device.

Most of the other people in the transdimensional world were busy with their own affairs, and Juliana was the only one who was free.

After breaking through to the Star Slayer stage, she spent a long time consolidating her cultivation.

As for the work, half of it was given to Heloise, and the other half to Ibn, who was always looking forward to a holiday.

His inability to obtain what he desired became one of the biggest jokes about Ibn.

However, Ibn was willing to work hard for that high salary.

After arriving here, Iben fully realized his own vulnerability. If he wanted to carry forward his explorer's nature in this world, he would not be able to do so without improving his strength.

If you're unlucky enough to run into those space pirates, you'll be torn to shreds in no time.

If you're even more unlucky and encounter a dimensional parasite, you won't even have a chance to escape.

"Then let's wander around."

Anran decided to stop by and watch the game.

Although she could watch the live stream online, she still felt it was more atmospheric to go to the venue in person.

At the ticket booth, An Ran specially changed into a staff uniform so that she could move around freely in the audience seats.

However, she hadn't walked far when she suddenly heard a topic that was worth paying attention to.

That was at the entrance to the ticket booth, where three guys dressed in black, looking like some kind of birdman who had wandered out of nowhere, were asking questions while buying tickets.

"Sir, your registration has been successful. Here is your admission ticket."

Standing at the very front, the person wearing a sea-blue hoop earring asked, "Can I ask you something?"

The ticket seller said, "May I ask what's wrong?"

The man said, "An Ran, have you heard of this name before?"

The staff member blinked rapidly a few times.

Although he was just a low-ranking employee in Silent City, he was aware of An Ran's existence.

The problem is that the name Anran is too common.

He wasn't sure if the An Ran these people were talking about was the same An Ran he knew.

"It's the one that has a very good relationship with Silent City," the person added.

The staff member said, "Oh, you mean that young lady? We do know her."

A glint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the man with the earring, which An Ran, who had just changed into her work clothes, happened to see.

She secretly cast three scouting spells over there.

The three strangers in front of me are level 186, 188, and 189 respectively.

Although their highest-level professions differ, all three of them share the same profession—[Spirit Master].

This profession comes with a bunch of detection and reconnaissance skills.

"It seems he's not someone easy to get along with."

An Ran narrowed her eyes.

Instead of leaving immediately, she pretended to be a real staff member and started doing the logistical work at the ticket booth, but her ears were already perked up.

"We would like to inquire about some information related to her. We wonder if you could help us answer our questions?"

The staff member hesitated and said, "This..."

“We have no ill intentions towards her. We’ve come all this way just to make a deal with her, but before we do, we want to know as much as possible about what kind of person she is,” the man explained.

The staff member nodded: "If it's not very important information, then it's fine. Um..."

He suddenly scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly: "Actually, I don't know any more in-depth information either. You can ask me."

"Thank you." The man seemed very pleased. "It's like this, we'd like to know what exactly is the relationship between An Ran and Silent City?"

The staff member thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, she should be a Star Killer recently recruited by the Controller."

Is that so?

The man with the earring frowned.

"That's not actually the case."

Just then, someone suddenly interrupted.

"Oh?"
