Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Soul, could this be related to the silver moonlight?"

In fact, these rewards were not enough to make Tsykya notice anything unusual.

The real change lies in An Ran's use of the [Gene Evolution Map (Specified Race)] reward from [The Revival of the River of Time].

An Ran directly acquired Tsykya's racial traits.

The race of [Void Heirs] has been modified to [Void Fanatic].

After the new race was adapted, Anran's strength increased by 204 points and her agility increased by 102 points.

Unlock new talent [Void Frenzy]: If you are not attacked for three minutes, the Void Core will automatically absorb free Void Energy from the surrounding area. Each unit of Void Energy will restore 1000 health.

The talent description specifies "attack," which means that even if An Ran has a continuous health reduction debuff, her health can still be restored by a percentage after surviving for three minutes.

This is a new talent that arose from the collision between Tsykya's race and the Void Inheritors.

Because Anran possesses a talent skill that can store 5 cubic meters of void energy, the combination of the two makes her countless times stronger than Tszkya's original talent.

This is equivalent to An Ran carrying around a mobile blood bank with 50 million life points.

"If a mechanic keeps getting beaten up, he'd be dead by now!"

Three minutes?

With the psionic servants holding the line, plus Ella and the panda, it wasn't too difficult.

Two hours later, An Ran piloted the spaceship back to the temporary base.

The Cult of the Machines' "Victory Celebration" event also started on time.

It's time to get the items in players' hands circulating!

Chapter 44 Good stuff, hand it over to the country!

After completing the trial missions on the home planet of the Feathered Civilization, thousands of players from the Cult of the Machine God successfully advanced to the Star Slayer rank.

The changes in the rankings caused a far greater sensation than when Zhou Jieyu was promoted to Star Killer.

Starting from the 700s, scrolling down, nearly 4,000 names are all associated with the [Cult of the Machine God]!

Keep in mind that this is a ranking list for the entire game, not just a regional ranking list for a specific area.

[Is there a bug?]

[You can play it like this?]

This certainly couldn't be a bug, and some people have already guessed the reason.

[Major Mission!]

A group of players on the forum were envious.

Why is the Cult of Machines the only exception among factions with a Star Domain Overlord? Why are they the only ones who always receive such missions?

Opinions on this matter varied widely on the forum.

However, the most convincing analysis video came from a player named Tan Hua Yi Xian.

Let's make a simple comparison.

Find a faction in the Eternal Star Path that is similar in nature to the Mechanicus for comparison.

First, this power must have a star field ruler;

Secondly, this force must participate in this sequence war;

Many factions meet these criteria, but like the Mechanicus, they follow a technological path, have appeared in the main storyline, and have recruited many players… well, I don't need to say more; many viewers have probably already guessed it—

Tech Island Star Zone!

The Cult of the Machine God currently has six million players, while Tech Island has over four million players, including top guilds from Western Europe and Latin America, making them a force to be reckoned with.

Next, let's look at the differences between the Mechanicus and the Tech Island.

First, its nature.

The Cult of Machines follows the path of machine worship and has grown through constant warfare. Tech Island, on the other hand, originated from a scientific exchange association; its research interests are diverse, with trade and warfare being roughly equal.

From the very beginning, players of the Cult of Mechanics had a higher chance of encountering combat-based missions.

Second, the level of participation in sequence warfare.

The Cult of Mechanics did not go to the New World, but instead lingered in the planetary graveyard. In contrast, the Tech Island followed the Grand Council of the Eternal Star Road to establish its presence in the New World.

Tech Island seems to offer more opportunities, but upon closer examination, it becomes clear that Tech Island is controlled by the Grand Council. Does it really have as many opportunities to participate in war as the Mechanicus?

The difference in the third point is the most obvious.

An Ran, a member of the Cult of the Machine God, has grown up from the beginner village, and it can be said that she understands how to bring out the player's strength better than any other NPC in the Star Tree Starfield.

Then look at the president of the Science and Technology Island, that old man with the long beard.

You want him to lead players to level up? Can he do it? No, he doesn't have the ability, you know?

Let's look at it from another angle. If you look at the structure of the Mechanicus, you'll understand. The ratio of players to NPCs in the Guardians of the Cult is 1:18, which is unimaginable in any other faction that possesses a Starfield Overlord.

This shows what?

……

This shows that Anran is a genius among NPCs and an expert in player behavior research!

What are you all standing there for? Let's get this going!

It's not too late to join the Cult of the Machine God. As I said, I've already bought my ticket to the planetary graveyard. I heard the equipment shops there are having a sale, with new customers getting a 20% discount.

See you next time, everyone!

After waving goodbye, the woman left the video recording room.

【…】

Where can I buy tickets to the planetary graveyard?

[Damn it, I forgot my original intention! I promised I would only love An Ran! Is it too late for me to repent?]

I have indulgences for sale, do you want them?

[I get it! The fleeting moment was a spy planted by the Cult of Machines within another faction!]

[They've insulted the Science Island again! These audacious troublemakers should all be arrested!]

The video went viral because of the words the ephemeral flower said at the end.

Although many players questioned whether the "ephemeral talent" was being paid to promote the Cult of Machines, at first glance, what he said seemed quite reasonable.

I, a member of the Drenthe civilization, have decided to join the Cult of the Machine God.

Count me in!

As the story spread, some players revealed what had happened on the home planet of the Feathered Civilization.

This further confirms the speculation that it was just a flash in the pan.

Despite being a mechanic capable of searching on her own, An Ran still gathered millions of players to give them the opportunity to try their skills.

This is my wife's wisdom!

[As long as you praise Anran, we're like brothers even if we're not from the same father or mother.]

As the news was passed around, it eventually reached the ears of the Drenthe civilization.

But by this time, almost twenty days had passed since the war, and Anran was on her way back to the Dawn Camp.

She received a communication request from the guide of the Drenthe civilization.

connected.

An Ran raised her right hand in greeting: "Yo!"

The guide opposite him said with a stern face, "What excellent acting skills."

An Ran feigned ignorance: "What are you talking about?"

"Of course!" The guide suppressed his anger. "The secrets of the Feathered Civilization, the Origin Tree, and the Atlas of Species Origin are now in your hands."

"Yes."

"You've been hiding your abilities well. As expected of a renowned mechanic, you've accomplished something we couldn't do with such ease." The guide laughed heartily.

"Not at all," An Ran said modestly. "Everyone has their own expertise. It just so happens that I have some research in mechanics, and the Unbeliever just happened to send me the technology of space displacement."

The guide nodded repeatedly: "To be honest, I'm not angry that you secretly obtained the Origin Tree and the Species Origin Chart. After all, we agreed when we cooperated that the rewards would be based on merit, and since you have the ability, I only have admiration for you. But..."

"Ok?"

An Ran knew there would be this twist, otherwise the guide would never have come to find her.

"Millions of foreigners, thousands of ships that have been redeployed, plus you've been slacking off in the war..."

"and many more!"

An Ran interrupted the guide.

"You're saying I'm slacking off?"

“You’ve been slacking off.” The guide nodded.

An Ran asked, "Where's the evidence?"

They speak in an aggressive manner.

"It's what I just said, and also, your losses in the war were much smaller than ours."

An Ran shook her head: "I don't like hearing that. Millions of strangers, well, even if you threw them onto the battlefield, would that have any impact on an interstellar war of this scale?"

"..."

"Or is it that my mechanical puppet's skill in controlling the spaceship is inferior to that of those foreigners?"

"..."

"As for battle losses," An Ran sneered, "I'm a mechanic, after all. If my losses were greater than yours, would I have to suspect that your Drenthe civilization was just slacking off? If it weren't for Ella, could you have so easily defeated the Ascended Civilization's fleet? By the way..."
