Poverty makes me capable of anything.

However, Ella, who was full of curiosity, did not visit those strange websites.

Instead, they worked very hard to learn independently through the internet.

For example, today—

Anran walked over and saw Ella learning fighting techniques!

"Hey!"

"Boom!"

"boom!"

Uppercut.

Flying kick.

Cross your arms to defend.

Sweep your leg.

Locked up.

Time was slowly passing, and they were about to reach the bottom when the busty girl on the right suddenly grabbed the shoulder of the big man in front of her and threw him.

wow-

The scene slowed down when the body was in the air.

The Han's health bar was still almost empty.

KO

They won! Ella's ranking rose another thirteen places.

"..."

Has she become this strong? An Ran still remembers that just two days ago, Ella was beaten by others without any chance to fight back, but now she can climb the ladder on the leaderboard.

Ella started another game on her own.

She had already noticed that An Ran was behind her. Since it was An Ran, there was no need to be so polite.

An Ran shook her head helplessly, put the things down, and decided to prepare dinner first.

Despite her dedication to studying, Ella hasn't completely become an "internet addict." She is genuinely trying to learn, but her learning methods seem to be flawed.

While both involve playing "games," the device used for assessment in Nine Songs would likely be much more effective.

Tonight's dinner is stir-fried titanium alloy...

No, it's stir-fried salted fish and steamed titanium alloy.

After finishing her meal, Anran checked the time.

Fifteen minutes remain.

She tidied up the tableware in an orderly manner.

Next comes the routine of washing up.

An Ran didn't just sit there foolishly waiting for maintenance and updates to arrive.

Don't waste time.

It is the principle of doing things safely.

She took a change of clothes, went to the bathroom, took off her clothes, and started taking a shower.

Five minutes left in the countdown.

three minutes.

Warm water rinsed over An Ran's body. She kept her eyes open, not forgetting to keep track of the time even while taking a bath.

One minute.

Negative minute.

Despite the discrepancy, taking the time of the announcement as the starting point, that is now.

But it seems like nothing happened.

Anran turned off the hot water.

She leaned against the wall, completely oblivious to the fact that she was completely naked, with water droplets running down her fair skin.

An Ran opened the game forum.

Enter the 【Night of the Stars】community section.

This section has always been the liveliest place.

[Damn it, I was having a great chat with the NPC girl when I was forcibly logged off! Give me back my girl!]

I wanted to test if I'd be permanently stuck in the game as an NPC due to a bug, but it didn't work.

[Logged off, logging off now. See you tomorrow.]

[A true warrior doesn't need an exit function; let me go back!]

[Doctor, doctor, the guy upstairs's symptoms have relapsed. He needs to be taken out for electrotherapy right away.]

……

It seems all players have been forced offline.

The game is currently undergoing maintenance and updates.

Even so, I can still move around normally.

In other words, the wheels of history do not stop with game updates; even when players are not present, they are still participating in every story.

Doesn't this mean that I can use these gaps in my time to become stronger?

It's so powerful that players can only look up to it when they return.

Minor version updates may only be spaced out every ten days or so.

However, if it's a major version update due to a significant event.

For example, how long would the evolution from version 1.0 to version 2.0 take?

To allow players to experience more of the story, this kind of update spans a considerable amount of time.

I will become stronger, but my lifespan...

Actually, this is a problem that doesn't need to be considered.

Let's not even talk about the fact that I've been designated as the final boss of version 2.0.

Lifespan cannot limit the true powerhouses in the starry sea.

Even if no way to extend one's lifespan can be found, turning oneself into a robot like Ella is not out of the question; it's another way to survive.

However, are people who share the same memories actually the same person?

Why think so much?

Anran shut down the game forum.

Continue taking a shower.

This extra time compared to the player's should be used wisely.

The fastest way to level up is, of course, to challenge Morningstar.

That base...

……

Anran packed her things and headed to the base with what she needed.

For the time being, she doesn't have anything she wants to make.

First, report back the information we got from Zhou Jieyu, and then see how things develop.

Ella set off only after Anran had left.

Because Anran forgot to tell her that the players would no longer be appearing recently.

Ella still remembered that she was supposed to go to the store.

She was wearing the new clothes Anran had bought for her.

It was a very delicate white and pink dress, with a short jacket worn over it.

She was wearing long white over-the-knee socks, without revealing any of her private area.

Anran's concern was that Ella's skin was artificial, and it would be quite troublesome if it were damaged.

Of course, it also has an automatic healing function, and there is not much difference between it and a normal person.

The energy released by the ancient essence is somewhat extraordinary.

Ella's hair was neatly tied into pigtails, and she was slowly learning how to take care of her appearance.

How can I better align with Anran's aesthetic preferences?

Ella walked to the vicinity of the 777 shop.

The roller shutter door closed.

She took out her key, squatted down, and was about to open the door.

Suddenly, I realized that someone seemed to be watching me.

Ella turned around in confusion, but the street was deserted; it was early in the morning, and there was no one around.

Ella opened the door with a puzzled look and walked into the store.

Is this what humans call an illusion?

It seems she has learned something new.

Ella was just about to move 777's position when she suddenly noticed that gaze again.

This time, Ella looked up and immediately noticed a gloomy-faced man standing on the street corner.
