Poverty makes me capable of anything.

A glittering card appeared in his hand.

It's spinning around and around...

As Brian continued turning, an open door appeared in front of him.

Just as he was about to step inside, the panda appeared out of nowhere, gently tugged, and closed the door again.

boom.

Brian hit nothing and rolled twice.

"..."

"Let's do it," An Ran commanded the guardian.

Brian finally came to his senses.

"Wait, don't kill me! I'm not lying!"

The Demon Guardian unleashed a punch, and the psionic shock mixed with ethereal power instantly killed the dashing guy, whose health bar had already been reduced to one-fifth.

A difference of 13 levels cannot be overcome by willpower alone.

It took Brian quite a while to open his eyes.

He was so scared he almost peed his pants.

He's not dead? He's not dead?

"you……"

An Ran asked, "Do you still have any of those cards?"

Brian was taken aback, but he quickly realized what was happening.

transaction!

“Yes, yes, yes.” Brian nodded repeatedly. “I have six more on me, I’ll give them all to you.”

"what?"

An Ran was a little surprised.

He's throwing away all his chips; isn't he afraid I'll kill him?

Brian pulled out all the cards; he had no time to think about how Anran had discovered them or how she had managed to close the door.

He said, "Besides these six cards, I have something even better—something that can produce these cards, but it's not on me. I believe it's something even the Star Domain Overlord would covet. If you can help me get revenge, I'll give it to you!"

Triggering the SS-rank hidden quest [Hollow Fruit].

Anran received a game notification.

The mission objective is to help Brian eliminate the Cape Pirates.

Task Rewards——

1.150 million Free Experience Points, +300 Reputation Points in Exiled Imperial Regions;

2. Special item [Pirate Kingdom], 1 colored mechanical blueprint;

3. Notes on Building a Small World (Part 1) *1

Although the items are few, the rewards are still quite tempting.

Leaving aside the experience points, the reputation reward is an increase in reputation across the entire region.

After completing the mission in the Giant Elf territory last time, I safely gained 600 reputation points, but that was only the reputation value of one star sector. Compared to the entire Exiled Empire, the Rose Sector is nothing special.

The item in Reward 2 is also a god-tier item, which can directly summon a phantom pirate legion to assist in battle, far superior to the Giant Spirit Clan Enhancement Trial Card rewarded by the Giant Spirit Clan quest.

As for the "Notes on the Construction of a Small World," that was the most valuable thing, but unfortunately, Anran only got the first volume.

These rewards do not include what Brian promised.

An Ran looked up and asked, "How can I make sure you'll obediently hand over that thing to me after I eliminate the Tianya Haijiao pirate group? If you run away, where am I supposed to find you?"

Brian said, "It's simple. I can make a pact with my power, and if I break the pact, the power within me will devour me."

"Ok?"

Without saying a word, Brian immediately made a vow in front of Anran.

After the faint red light disappeared, Anran noticed that Brian's name had a lock-like buff mark next to it.

After reading the buff's description, Anran nodded.

"Okay, deal. You wait, I will definitely break up this Tianya Haijiao pirate group."

Brian handed the [Space Marker Door] card to Anran.

“I will wait, but I can’t put all my eggs in one basket for revenge. I will go find others.”

Now that we've started, let's continue.

Whoever takes down the Tianya Haijiao pirate group first will get the item.

Upon closer reflection, Brian felt a pang of heartache.

He originally intended to keep this for his own use, what a pity.

Anran watched Brian leave, then glanced at the description of the [Spatial Marker Gate].

Each card can be set to a fixed coordinate. Then, by injecting activation energy into the card, a portal to that coordinate can be opened.

Although this thing is a one-time use product, it consumes far less energy than a real teleportation portal, making it quite effective for escaping.

"It's like having another way to escape."

Anran put the guardian away and then called the panda back to the spaceship.

When Brian used the card, she saw a bar scrolling above Brian's name; it was impossible for her not to recognize it.

Having a player panel really allows you to do whatever you want.

After the demon ship had been traveling through the starry sea for more than a day, Anran received a message from Christopher.

"The situation is not good."

"What happened?"

“The pirates here are not very welcoming to us,” Christopher said with a wry smile. “Although we can fight them with your guardians, we’ll definitely be antagonized by all the pirates in the area as soon as a fight breaks out. Why don’t we go somewhere else?”

Which pirate crews were there?

When An Ran heard that Tianya Haijiao was also one of the backers of those pirate groups, she immediately thought of the inhuman creatures of the [Chain of Judgment].

It is time to witness the great friendship between the void and the pioneers!

Chapter 70: A Screen Full of Experience

After sending Jill back to Silent City, Anran hurriedly headed to where Christopher was.

Exile to the famous frontier of the empire—

Dusk Refuge.

This area was once the core region of the Exiled Empire, but as time went by, under the constant onslaught of natural disasters and man-made calamities, this core region was gradually abandoned by people and became a "desolate wilderness" that was disliked by most people.

Over the long years, this desolate wilderness gradually became a refuge for many criminals.

However, this was still the territory ruled by the Exiled Empire, and no matter how much those people jumped around, they still had a tight band around their heads.

If the rulers of the exiled empire ever decide to weaken them, they will either have to obediently accept their fate or flee as soon as possible.

It seems perfectly reasonable to call this a refuge in the twilight.

An Ran encountered several pirate crews along the way, but thanks to the performance of the Devil Ship, she easily escaped.

She doesn't have time to waste with these pirates right now. She needs to meet up with Christopher first. After exploring the map, it'll be time to call over those guys from the Chain of Judgment to be her free henchmen.

"Tch, he actually got away, what bad luck."

The pirate ship that had been chasing them for a while finally stopped.

Inside the cockpit, a group of pirates, their faces grim, kept cursing and swearing.

After a few minutes, the tense atmosphere subsided slightly, and one of the pirates suggested, "We've been waiting here for 10 hours. It seems we won't catch any big fish today. Let's head back."

"Go back? What are you going back for?" someone asked in surprise.

"Go back and play with that time-travel thing."

This proposal immediately gained the support of most people.

"A force from some remote star system dares to act arrogantly and domineeringly in our Twilight Sanctuary. Acting arrogantly and domineeringly is one thing, but they even tried to let a bunch of robots and aliens sit on our heads. I can't tolerate this!"

“That’s right, the traditions of Twilight Sanctuary cannot be lost. We don’t reject outsiders, but they must also follow our rules.”

"Isn't it a matter of course that juniors should kneel and kowtow to their seniors?"

"If they were truly the strongest among all the heroes, that would be one thing, but if they don't have the ability yet still dare to show off, then don't blame us for being impolite."

A group of pirates were having a heated discussion.

Although they each had their own viewpoints, they all ultimately converged on the same conclusion: the time-traveling entity must be severely punished to make it understand—

As long as I live, you will all be lying down there!

It's fair to say that the time travel period has been quite difficult lately.

Every day, people block the entrance to the base and show off. For the sake of the bigger picture—because he's just an employee—Christopher can only watch them put on a show. It's incredibly frustrating. He can't even play games in peace because there's noise coming from above him every day.

Even if the sound is blocked, they can still use other methods to hurl insults, making it impossible to defend against.

Eventually, Christopher couldn't hold back any longer.

He stepped forward.

Holding a chicken leg in his left hand and a megaphone in his right, he started arguing with those who came to show off.

"If you're so tough, keep spouting nonsense outside. Why don't you just storm in?"

"Hey, you gotta come out here if you dare!"

Christopher sneered, "Why should I come out?"
