Poverty makes me capable of anything.

In the past, he would have stood on the same level as the pioneers' top combat forces.

but……

This is not something Enron needs to worry about.

All she needs to do is weigh the potential benefits that the wrong path might bring her.

The legacy of the pioneers!

The pioneers are a super civilization no less powerful than the two major forces.

Its heritage must contain many supreme treasures.

This is something that neither the Eternal Star Path nor the Exiled Empire will give up.

The Eternal Star Path aims to advance further, while the Exiled Empire needs to stop it to break the balance that has been maintained between the two powers for many years.

This means that a new period of exploration is inevitable, and war is unavoidable.

Enron was happy to see this situation.

Only when the water is murky can she extract more benefits from it.

and……

"A complete legacy of the pioneers!"

The knowledge base for the advancement path [Ancient Descent] has been developed!

Qilu continued, “Those people stole the wisdom of the pioneers; they are shameless thieves! However, although thieves are despicable, they can also cause a lot of trouble for these two major forces, tying up most of their energy, so that we can better implement our plan.”

An Ran nodded repeatedly, but she didn't take the initiative to ask about the details of the Crossroads Plan, as that would be inappropriate.

She simply said, "I am currently infiltrating the Exiled Empire, and once the Expansion War begins, I will likely follow them to the star system behind the planetary graveyard."

“Now is not the time for you to show yourself. If I need your help, I will contact you personally,” Qilu said.

"no problem."

There was a long silence on the other end.

Just when Anran thought that Qilu had nothing to say, Qilu spoke again.

"The war of expansion is a clash between top civilizations, and even the rulers of a star field may perish."

An Ran nodded: "I know that."

“You are important to our plan.” A hint of emotion finally flickered in Qilu’s voice.

Is it concern or something else?

Qilu said, "The people from Silver Moonlight are over there right now. I'll give you their contact information in a bit."

"..."

Anran understood.

After the brief conversation ended, Qilu sent a secret communication symbol.

After injecting the power of ether, a black phantom appeared in front of An Ran three seconds later.

The ghostly figure was only outlined; its true appearance was not visible.

This is a common way for Silver Moonlight to contact people.

In their eyes, An Ran was also a shadowy figure.

This aligns perfectly with Anran's intention.

After exchanging greetings and explaining that she was from the Void and cooperating with the Chain of Judgment, Anran ended the somewhat abrupt contact.

In a distant star field.

A few people were gathered together, listening to some relaxing music.

"Void? Interesting."

"This is more interesting than I imagined."

"It's about time, isn't it?"

A very young-looking man stood up, placed his hands on the table in front of him, and shouted excitedly, "Gentlemen, it is time for us, the Silver Moonlight, to leave our mark on the world!"

Just as An Ran was slowly upgrading his mechanical legion, the two major forces exploring the planetary graveyard were attacked by an unknown fleet.

None of the attacked players survived; they all died on the spot.

Those NPCs weren't much better.

It is said that millions of explorers died at the time, and tens of thousands of those who survived died later due to the lack of timely rescue.

Even the Star Domain Rulers didn't fare well in that attack; if reinforcements hadn't arrived quickly enough, one or two of them would probably have died.

It's a genetic lock.

[Coincidentally, what also instantly killed me was the genetic lock and a massive soul shockwave.]

I can't use any skills at all.

I can unleash my skills, but I can't move; I've become a sitting duck.

So, gene locking is a weapon targeting the human body?

Who knows?

In the words of the players, this is "the day of the fall".

Despite the fact that millions of NPCs died, the number of players entering the fountain was even greater.

Two days later, the topic of discussion on the forum suddenly changed.

An organization has stepped forward.

The organization claiming responsibility for the attack is called Silver Moonlight.

[It's done! I can smell the main storyline!]

War is about to begin.

War is indeed about to begin.

However, before the war even began, the maintenance period for version 3.3 also arrived.

【…】

At one point, all the players in the game logged off.

This update is designed to help players quickly get through the war preparation period.

An Ran is now starting to understand the nature of this game's updates.

The day the war of expansion officially begins will be the day players return. And this period, however, has been longer than Anran had imagined.

This is a full year of preparation!

During this year, Heda remained tied up in the planetary graveyard and had no time to pay attention to the Mechanicus.

During this long-awaited period of calm, Anran seized the time to renovate the Dawn Camp.

It must be said that Resurrection Crystal put in a lot of effort.

Although it was drained of its resources by Anran, the metal it produced not only enabled Anran to upgrade its mechanical legion, but also allowed the key buildings of the Divine Court to be upgraded.

Although the players had logged off, the bustling atmosphere in the trading port did not diminish; on the contrary, it was even more vibrant than usual.

With a vast fortune plundered from the Full Metal Cult, this trading port, which was originally thought to be indefinitely under construction, is now officially completed and has become the most prosperous planet in Dawn Camp.

This is merely a superficial change at Dawn Camp.

Anran's personal strength has also increased.

The level only increased by one level to 202, but the growth in other aspects is still considerable.

The most noteworthy thing is the psionic servant that An Ran was bound to.

With the infusion of a large amount of psionic energy, the psionic servant's attributes increased rapidly, reaching level 203 long ago, and he could even hold out for a while against Ella, who was level 205.

If paired with Anran's psionic battle puppet array, even Ella wouldn't gain much of an advantage for the time being.

While the development of the Mechanic requires a massive amount of resources, his strength is also on full display at this moment.

As long as you have money and resources, fighting against opponents of higher levels is not difficult.

But if you have no money or resources, you might as well go somewhere cool and stay there. Any combat-type profession can easily crush a mechanic.

Therefore, it's perfectly reasonable for players to say that the Mechanic is a "money-grubbing" class.

You have your superpowers, and I have my money power!

Of the three major tasks, there has been no progress on [the body of a god] and [contact with a high-energy world].

However, regarding "The Mechanical Tomorrow," with the accumulation of time, the section on "Power of Faith" has now reached—

7821/10000

It's not far from 10,000 square meters.

An Ran estimated that once the news of her advancement to Star Domain Ruler was released, her popularity would likely surge immediately.

There's no rush, take your time.

You've seemed a bit unsettled lately.

On the watchtower outside the Divine Court, a gentle breeze was blowing when Tsikia suddenly spoke.

"Is there?"

An Ran did not turn her head.

In fact, there are.

With the new version about to launch, the day when players return is just around the corner.

This means that the long preparations of the two major powers are about to come to an end.

The already unstable planetary graveyard is about to face even greater turmoil.

The players' opportunity has arrived, and so has Enron's!
