Poverty makes me capable of anything.

What does the planetary graveyard look like now?

How much of the information can be considered publicly available?

These are all things Anran is eager to know.

The information on the forum is too mixed.

Most players are only focused on the tasks at hand and have no time to pay attention to other things.

Even those who write columns or work in journalism will find it difficult to compile any useful information in a short period of time.

In the bright room, Anran was setting up the automatic feeding device for the pandas when the alarm bell suddenly went off.

"What is it?" An Ran asked.

Behind them appeared Cerny's figure.

"My Lord, there are people outside who wish to see you."

Cherny, slightly bent over, remained calm, showing no discomfort at the fact that Anran, who had once been far weaker than him, had now become the ruler of the star field.

He was filled with reverence and peace at that moment.

She even felt that Anran was her role model.

Since becoming obsessed with blacksmithing, he discovered that he had opened up a wide path for himself.

That is the great road leading to the dominion of the star field.

If you're looking to learn blacksmithing, Anran is the best choice!

That's why Cerny volunteered to stay and help the Mechanicus.

Ciqiya had no objection to this.

If Cherny can truly advance to the Star Domain Overlord level, it will be good news for Silent City.

"who is it?"

Cherny reported, "It's a high-ranking member of the Drenthe civilization in the Drenthe sector."

An Ran quickly searched for a star map.

They are definitely members of the Exiled Empire.

Did they say why they came?

"Entrustment".

An Ran narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Take him to the main conference room. I'll be there in a bit."

She wasn't in a hurry. After setting up the automatic feeding room, An Ran leisurely walked into the conference room.

A young man with short blond hair was sitting in a seat near the entrance.

When An Ran walked in, he was looking around the conference room with great interest.

He was awakened by the clattering sound of the swaying chair.

Upon discovering that the person who entered was An, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face: "Greetings, Your Excellency the Prophet. I am Charles from the Drenthe Sector."

An Ran nodded gently: "Is there something you need from me?"

Charles said, "I come with the sincerity of the Drenthe civilization and hope to advance and retreat together with His Excellency the Prophet in the upcoming mission."

What's next?

"You also accepted the commission from the Originium Worship Ceremony?" Anran asked.

Charles nodded in agreement.

"The Feathered Civilization is powerful, and it would be difficult for our Drenthe Civilization alone to defeat them. The Cult of the Machine God has recently increased in strength, but it is probably not capable of completing the mission on its own."

Anran remained noncommittal.

Charles continued, "Moreover, in addition to the obstacles from the Feathered Civilization, we also face many more threats from other places."

"What do you think."

"For example, potential allies of the Feathered Civilization, or... certain people on the Eternal Star Path."

An Ran was startled: "Eternal Star Road has also intervened?"

If that's the case, then she and Ella are completely useless.

Charles shook his head: "No, not at all. However, it's not just the Originium Worship Society that's eyeing the Feathered Civilization; this matter isn't as simple as we imagine."

"Yes, I know that too."

“Therefore,” Charles said with a smile, “our Drenthe civilization hopes to cooperate with the Cult of the Machine God in this operation, which would benefit both sides.”

An Ran tapped the table lightly with her hand. After a moment, she asked, "Cooperation is good, but how should the commission be distributed? I don't think your Drenthe civilization wants to worry about this, do you?"

"It's very simple, distribution according to work."

An Ran chuckled.

Charles remained unfazed, waiting for the rest of the story to unfold.

Do you think you can distinguish between these kinds of things?

Charles remained silent.

An Ran stood up: "I don't like doing meaningless things. I also hate working for nothing and ending up benefiting others. Cooperation is fine, let's work together to resist those people on the Eternal Star Road, but as for the commission, let's each rely on our own abilities."

The strength of the Drenthe civilization is not much different from that of the Mechanicus on the surface.

Anran didn't need to lower herself as much as she did when dealing with the War Court.

Charles said, "I understand what Your Excellency the Prophet means. It's clear that Your Excellency the Prophet is someone who won't compromise yourself."

"What do you mean by that?"

“No ordinary person would bother building a temporary base in a place like this,” Charles said with a laugh.

"..."

If it weren't for building a respawn point for players, do you think I would be willing to spend this money?

An Ran had already planned it out; the money she was spending on players now would be recouped many times over later.

Charles misunderstood her, but Anran wasn't angry. Instead, she gave him a thumbs up: "You're such a clever little devil!"

cough……

Charles played a few more notes with Anran, then took his leave.

You can discuss anything in the virtual meeting room. He came in person just to show his sincerity.

After sending Charles away, Anran immediately intensified her efforts, sending players everywhere to gather information.

She quickly gathered a lot of useful information.

The significance of planetary graveyards to the new world

The planetary graveyard was once the territory of a powerful civilization. During their expansion, they discovered a top-tier civilization located in a new world.

Then disaster struck.

The new world's top civilization is an extremely xenophobic one.

Their foreign policy is ruthless annihilation.

The war lasted for over a century, but in the end, the original civilization of the planetary graveyard could not withstand it. Under the attack of superweapons, the entire area where the planetary graveyard was located was dragged into the dead zone.

After nearly a year of devastation, it has finally become what it is today.

The entire starry sky was deathly silent; stars had died out, planets had exploded, and twilight filled the air.

It's like a place abandoned by the world.

It wasn't until many years later that people gradually started coming here.

The residents living here today are all migrants from the New World.

For example, the Feathered Civilization was forced to come to the barren and desolate Planetary Graveyard because it was ostracized in the New World.

Relying on its extraordinary adaptability, the Feathered Civilization not only did not decline, but instead grew rapidly.

In a way, the planetary graveyard is the place of exile for the new world.

"So, even if the Exiled Empire and the Eternal Star Road don't make the first move, war will inevitably break out once the top civilizations of the New World are fully prepared. And at that time, the flames of war will reach the Star Tree Starfield's homeland. Is this considered striking first to gain the upper hand?"

Anran also planned to follow the example of the Exiled Empire and strike first.

In critical moments, only those who dare to draw their swords can rise to the top!

Anran specifically selected a group of level 150 players and issued new exploration quests to them.

[To go and gather information from the Feathered Civilization?]

They went straight for the big stage right from the start!

Hmm... I always feel like I was just cannon fodder in the past.

【No, when did you start having the illusion that you're not cannon fodder?】

But my dad always tells me to be the protagonist of my own life.

Everyone dies eventually, but if you die creatively, you can become the protagonist among the cannon fodder.

【I……

It seems like I've realized something.

I never expected this.

These players are incredibly conscientious!

"It's probably because I've spent so much time in the game that I've become smarter," An Ran thought.

Players who accepted the exploration mission boarded their spaceships.

The Divine Court-class warships would certainly not be allowed to be wasted by them, but even the performance of the Demon Ships was quite remarkable.

The original engine was replaced with a new psionic warp engine.

Faster startup speed and higher transition accuracy.
