Poverty makes me capable of anything.

That afternoon, the divine warship carrying the clone arrived at the temporary base.

The fighting on the front lines has been slightly disrupted due to the attack by the Chain of Judgment.

Therefore, An Ran was not in a hurry to send her clone over to help immediately; she decided to expand the newly established mechanical legion first.

The arrival of the clone did not cause much of a stir in the base.

Players can continue playing their games or running missions on other planets.

Even An Qianqian's daily life hasn't changed much—

Eat, improve your strength, sleep.

Life is simple and monotonous, a repetitive cycle.

On the third day after Anran's clone arrived at the temporary base.

At the temporary base, next to the cage where the Devouring Monster was imprisoned, An Qianqian kept eating the jerky in her hand like a little hamster.

This made "Nia," who was pressed against the glass, almost drool.

She's been locked up for over two months, and these people won't even give her food. It's so cruel and inhumane!

"Why don't you share some with me?"

Nia's eyes gleamed as she gently tapped on the glass wall, trying to get An Qianqian's attention.

"Ok?"

An Qianqian raised her head and glared at Nia.

"Hmph, trying to trick me into letting you out? No way!"

As she spoke, she stuffed another handful of dried meat into her mouth.

chew.

They even deliberately made smacking noises while chewing.

This greatly increased Nia's appetite.

She wiped her mouth, trying her best not to lose her composure. After all, she was once a fearsome devouring beast, how could she lose her dignity in front of this little girl!

Nia coughed lightly and said, "Fine, if you won't give it to me, then don't. But can I make one request?"

"You said."

"Could you please stop eating in front of me? It makes me hate you. I finally have someone to talk to. If I hate you, how boring will I be?"

"..."

An Qianqian swallowed the food that was stuffed in her mouth.

This girl's thought process is really different from normal people. Should we try to trick her into revealing her treasure location with food?

An Qianqian considered this question very seriously.

She saw through Nia's desire for jerky.

But just then, An Qianqian noticed that Nia's expression suddenly changed.

Hmm, could it be that she read my mind?

An Qianqian was startled.

Nia, who was locked in the cage, suddenly became agitated and said:

"Get out of here right now!"

"what?"

Nia exclaimed urgently, "The people who woke me up are here!"

"Who are you trying to fool?"

An Qianqian pouted.

You're locked up, how could you possibly know this?

She was about to make a sarcastic remark to Nia when the alarm in the room suddenly went off.

"Has something really happened?"

An Qianqian stood up in surprise.

At this moment, An Ran's three-dimensional illusory image appeared. She said to An Qianqian with a solemn expression, "The patrol lighthouse has detected an abnormal aura approaching. If I'm not mistaken, it should be people from Silver Moonlight. I'm no match for them now. You should quickly take them away from here through the psionic descent device. I'll come find you in a bit."

Star Domain Ruler!

An Qianqian realized that this was someone she couldn't afford to offend.

Therefore, she didn't hesitate at all: "I'll leave right away, but..."

Looking at Nia, An Qianqian asked, "What about her?"

She chatted with Nia every day for the past two months, and the two have become close chat buddies.

"You go first, I'll throw her over here in a bit."

"Oh."

Hey Hey hey!

Nia in the cage was very angry.

Do you treat me like merchandise, something you can just throw away whenever you want?

I was a super ferocious Devouring Beast from many years ago!

You shallow woman!

Watch out or I'll eat you up.

An Ran completely ignored Nia's expressive face and breathed a sigh of relief after watching An Qianqian leave.

"The key members have all been evacuated. As for the others, we can only hope that the Silver Moon team arrives slowly."

An Ran had a bit of a headache.

She knew that she was being targeted by the Silver Moonlight people for some special reason, but she never expected that these guys would be so persistent.

It was bad enough that they ambushed her twice on her way to the front-line command post, but they came again as soon as her clone arrived at the temporary base.

"They're really quite unscrupulous."

An Ran shook her head.

Indeed, as "terrorists," they have absolutely no reason to hold back.

An Ran was puzzled by what the magician, who was acting on the instructions of the silver-haired youth, had said—

It seems your guess was correct; she's very likely like us.

What does "same" mean?

Do they all have player panels?

"impossible."

If that were the case, An Ran didn't think she could escape from their attack.

That means it's because they are not human?

An Ran was confused for a moment, and the people of Silver Moonlight didn't give her any more time to think.

"Let me test your strength!"

After storing most of the valuable machinery and equipment in the temporary base into the sealed chamber, An Ran became extremely vigilant.

Three figures approached.

Because the surrounding space was blocked, they could only fly over "slowly".

For this reason, the [Time-Space Trap] zone that An Ran had set up became their only way through.

"Do you need me to help you restrain them?"

At that moment, Derrick suddenly appeared beside Anran.

He was no match for that silver-haired youth.

But in some ways, Anran also helped him a lot.

Even knowing he was outmatched, he still went for the sake of morality.

“No need.” An Ran shook her head. “I don’t intend to get entangled with them. I just want to test their strength and see if I can get some information.”

She accepted a hidden quest called "Face the Gale".

However, An Ran continued playing, as the mission required her to repel or kill the intruders.

Isn't this a joke?

It's important to know that this task is rated as [SS].

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.

Even if her true form came, she wouldn't be able to defeat that silver-haired youth, let alone this clone that only inherited 80% of her attributes.

Derrick paused for a moment: "The problem is, how are we going to leave later?"

“You don’t need to worry about that.” An Ran revealed a mysterious smile. “I’m not only a mechanic, but I also have some expertise in spatial manipulation.”

"..."

Derrick stared at Anran for a long time.

Then he burst into laughter:

"Since you're so confident, I'll just watch from the sidelines."

An Ran turned her head away.

She needs to get Nia away as soon as possible.

If the people of Silver Moonlight were to see Nia, they would surely know that she was the one causing trouble behind the scenes. As a result, the people of Silver Moonlight would most likely become even more ruthless.

An Ran couldn't bear that.
