Poverty makes me capable of anything.

An Ran suddenly revealed a devilish smile, which made the guide realize that something was wrong.

"I don't know if you've ever heard of the Resurrection Crystal, it's the thing I snatched from Heda's face."

The guide nodded: "I know."

"Resurrection Crystals can create living metal with extremely fast recovery speeds. A significant portion of the ships in my fleet have outer decks made of living metal. If you don't believe me, I can lend you a Resurrection Crystal, provided you're not afraid of Heda causing you trouble."

The guide's face darkened: "That won't be necessary."

An Ran spread her hands: "See, you have no reason to cause me any trouble."

"Not necessarily!"

Speaking of this, the guide became smug again.

He pulled out a report and said, enunciating each word clearly, "In the past two days, a total of 3219 outsiders have defected from the Drenthe Civilization to the Cult of the Machine God. The evidence is conclusive. Please cease your seductive activities!"

An Ran vehemently denied it: "I am on my way back to Dawn Camp right now, and this has nothing to do with me."

“I sent people to interview several outsiders, and they all said it was because you joined the Cult of the Machine God.”

“Is this my fault? Is it my fault that I’m so charming? I get it!” An Ran said. “You’re just jealous, mentor. I think instead of complaining here, you should consider debuting as an idol. Maybe that will increase your attractiveness.”

The guide wasn't angry at An Ran's words; instead, he asked, "Are there any other more reliable methods?"

An Ran was taken aback for a moment: "So you actually came here to ask about this."

"Of course, that's not all. I'm just still upset. Also, while I won't cause you any trouble, the people from Eternal Star Road are a different story. If they find out you're not at the base, hehe..."

“Then I’ll give them a surprise,” An Ran said.

After instructing the guide on how to attract players, Anran cut off the communication.

The people of the Eternal Star Path?

The only ones left in the planetary graveyard now are Reeves and Fisher, who stands behind him.

A level 209 Star Domain Ruler.

An Ran immediately contacted Tsykya, who was still at the base.

"Do you want revenge?" she asked.

"Ok?"

……

Ten days later, they returned safely to Dawn Camp.

One reason she rushed back was to use the Hollow Stone to build a fast portal to the planetary graveyard.

On the other hand, it is necessary to meet with the people of the Originium Worship Ceremony.

We want money, minerals, and the relics of the pioneers—we want them all!

Setting up the portal was a very easy task; Anran completed it in just a few minutes.

After that, we went to the agreed location to meet with the representatives of the Originium Worship Ceremony.

It was just an ordinary planet, and the place where we met was very simple.

"This is a tradition of our clan."

"That's what the young girl who greeted An Ran said respectfully."

The target was safely met in a small conference room next to the banquet hall.

A level 203 Star Domain Ruler!

It's clear that the Stone Worship Society takes this task they issued very seriously.

What sparks will fly when the secret of super adaptability collides with the "species evolution" of the Originium Festival?

To be honest, An Ran is also looking forward to it.

According to the information she found online, the reason why the Originium Worship Ceremony, which possessed the "secret of evolution," did not become the target of public criticism was because the power they possessed was flawed.

Once this deficiency is corrected, the consequences are hard to predict.

Even so, the Originium Worship Society still openly issued a commission to the Flanor Foundation.

Is this confidence based on solid reasoning, or simply a lack of careful consideration?

"What you're looking for is right here."

An Ran retrieved a square data storage device.

This is the original version of the Atlas of the Origin of Species, and Anran made two more copies herself.

One copy is intended for research by the Eye of Technology laboratory led by Erin, while the other will be handed over to the Exiled Empire in exchange for something.

The Star Domain Ruler did not stand up because he was unaware that An Ran was a Star Domain Ruler stronger than himself, so he was still maintaining his composure.

Are you sure that's all?

An Ran explained: "The origin map of species reveals the fundamental reason why the Feathered Civilization possesses such strong adaptability."

The star field ruler said, "Isn't there still one tree?"

An Ran smiled slightly: "That tree has nothing to do with adaptability, so it's irrelevant to this commission. And even if you wanted it, you probably wouldn't be able to get it."

"Oh?"

"I think you've heard at least a little about what happened on the home planet of the Feathered Civilization."

"Yes."

An Ran continued, "Then you should also know that an ancient soul was attached to that tree. To prevent it from escaping, I had to have my guardians annihilate them together."

Anran did not mention psionic followers, because that was a power that only the rulers of star fields could wield.

She doesn't want to reveal the fact that she is the ruler of the star field yet.

"..."

The opposing ruler remained silent.

After thinking for a long time, he nodded reluctantly: "I'll take it as you're telling the truth."

An Ran simply smiled.

She wasn't angry at all.

"Give me that thing," the ruler said.

An Ran shook her head: "This is a deal."

She emphasized the word "transaction".

"Do you think our Originium Worship Society would cheat you?" a follower beside him said angrily.

"Of course not, but I've been looking forward to the Forerunner Ruins for a long time, and I hope you can understand my feelings."

The ruler stared at An Ran for a long time, then waved his hand and said to his attendant, "Give her the things."

After confirming that the subspace storage device handed over by the other party did indeed contain what he wanted, An Ran threw the map back to them.

"There's also money and metal ores. I believe the Originium Offering will be delivered to Dawn Camp soon."

"nature."

"Then, I'll take my leave now."

An Ran turned to leave, but someone called her back.

"you!"

"What's wrong?" An Ran turned around with a smile.

The man shouted, "Do you know what kind of attitude you just had?"

"A trader's normal attitude."

The man was speechless.

Just as they were about to leave the room, An Ran's voice drifted over again: "But you seem to have forgotten what kind of attitude you should adopt."

An Ran is no longer seen in this simple house.

"..."

……

Upon returning to the Divine Court, An Ran immediately contacted Kashu of the Exiled Empire.

"I've found some good stuff, and I'm going to hand it over to the country!"

Kashu, on the other end of the communicator, froze on the spot.

After a long silence, he shouted, "You're not An Ran! Tell me who you really are!"

Hand it over to the state?

This kind of sentence structure would never appear in Anran's dictionary of life!

"I'd like to trade something."

Call ~

Kashu breathed a sigh of relief: "You should have said that sooner."

This... you actually doubt my loyalty to the Exiled Empire? It's truly heartbreaking!

"Tell me what you want to submit and what you want to exchange, and I'll organize it so I can report it to the Premier of the Executive Yuan," Kashu said.

Oh.

An Ran quickly dismissed those strange thoughts from earlier.

"The Atlas of the Origin of Species, which I just obtained from the Ascended Civilization, is a crystallization of biological research left behind by the top civilization of the previous generation. What I want in exchange is the basic research data on genes, Forerunner technology, and Dimensional technology collected by the Exiled Empire."

Kashu was taken aback: "You really are being impolite, wanting to exchange a single diagram for so many things."

"Go ahead and report it to your superiors."

"Alright, but before that, we must first determine the value of that map."

"as you like."
