Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Anran lay back down.

She is now incredibly mature and has long since passed the age of caring about breast size.

Heda thought she had won, so she was in a very good mood.

She and An Ran have almost recovered by now, and it won't be long before they return to the front lines.

But the situation has changed.

The Eternal Star Path and the Unbeliever Legion have joined forces, but half a year has passed and neither side has achieved much.

The Exiled Empire's main force withdrew from the New World Starfield. The initial investment was wasted, but it was far from being crippled.

Heda estimated that this battle might not last long.

Whether she can even earn enough battle points if she goes there now is a question.

Shortly afterward, the press conference for Eternal Star Road concluded.

Most of the rumors were thus debunked.

However, it must be said that the Eternal Star Road suffered significant losses.

It's not just the Lemetta Steps that have been lost, but also the face of the Eternal Starway.

Many people who had long been at odds with Eternal Star Road were secretly pleased, including quite a few players.

[Okay, so that's what the version theme means!]

[Big-breasted thief is the best!]

They used to mock the Exiled Empire, now they know how painful it is!

Players of Eternal Star Road couldn't help but stand up and fight back.

I think that demon woman was sent by the Exiled Empire.

[That's right, we need to remind the higher-ups at Eternal Star Road to investigate in this direction. We can't let the people from the Exiled Empire get away with it.]

What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven, and even an exiled empire will fall from grace.

[That's right, wasn't the Coral Nebula attacked by an unknown force last time? I refuse to believe they'll only attack once!]

Let's see who's in a worse situation.

Just wait, the script has been laid out, and your Exiled Empire will suffer greatly.

The online flame wars never stop.

In fact, Eternal Star Road did suspect that all of this was orchestrated by the Exiled Empire.

But they had no evidence.

Moreover, they are currently at war with the Exiled Empire, so using that as a pretext for war seems somewhat redundant.

For the time being, Eternal Star Road could only focus its attention on Silver Moonlight. They were already secretly preparing a strike against Silver Moonlight.

As for finding a partner for Silver Moonlight, Eternal Star Road has temporarily handed that task over to the players.

The player performed exceptionally well in the military base defense battle.

Despite suffering heavy casualties, they also displayed extraordinary courage.

It was their repeated charges that pulled morale back from the brink of collapse.

"If it weren't for the presence of foreigners, those two military bases would have fallen long ago."

“Strangers are not afraid of death, and they have seen the faces of the attackers. Letting them investigate might be more efficient than the military intelligence agency.”

The councilor's proposal was unanimously approved by the members of the Grand Council.

The Eternal Star Path suffered heavy losses.

But this battle is indeed a great thing for players in the Eternal Star Road faction.

Their status was elevated.

[It's not quite at the level of the Mechanicus yet, but I believe this is only temporary!]

Undercurrents began to stir.

……

Everyone has their own joys and sorrows.

Having finally escaped the encirclement of the Eternal Star Road, Leander immediately issued a mobilization order to all his companions who had come with him.

There were nine people when they went, but Leander only received five replies in the end.

To his surprise, Charlene did not reply to his message.

"?"

This is very unusual.

Normally, when he sends a message, Charlene replies instantly.

Leander quickly asked the others, "Can you get in touch with Charlene?"

The replies he received were all "no".

Leander's face was gloomy.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

To confirm whether he was wrong, he went ahead to Hidden Sandbar.

At the agreed-upon location, Leander waited for two full days but still found no sign of anything.

After informing Lumina, he crossed the level 4 storm belt of Hidden Sands alone.

Leander stopped before the ditch, which resembled a black curtain.

He continued on his way.

Ultimately, Charlene was not found.

Missed.

Charlene disappeared along with the Lemetta staircase.

“It seems he really is dead,” Lumina said.

Her face looked rather pale.

After much effort and hardship, I finally got my hands on the Lemetta Stairs, but before I could even enjoy it, it vanished.

Who could withstand something like this?

Leander's mood worsened.

Although they obtained the blueprints for the Lemetta Stairs, it would still take a considerable amount of time to rebuild one.

The plan will inevitably be delayed.

Most importantly, Charlene is gone.

The image of Charlene flashed through my mind.

It was quite noisy.

But after severing his connection with Lumina and falling into silence once again, Leander found this quiet plane too dull.

It made him feel that even if his long-cherished wish was fulfilled, something was still missing.

Leander remained silent.

He stared intently at the communicator on his wrist.

correct.

He thought of An Ran.

About half a minute after the communication request was sent, Anran's demon form appeared.

"What's going on this time?"

Leander asked, "Do you know where Charlene went?"

"Ok?"

An Ran looked puzzled.

"Shalin has disappeared. Did she say anything when you parted ways?"

“She didn’t say anything.” An Ran shook her head. “I asked her what you wanted to do with the Lemetta Stairs, and she said it was a secret. After that, we parted ways.”

"that's it?"

"She did say that what you're doing now is also beneficial to the Chain of Judgments."

Leander frowned.

Where did you two part ways?

Anran sent the address.

However, that place is in front of the site where Shalin perished.

In fact, Anran and Shalin were still on the spaceship at that time.

"I'll go over and investigate."

"May the pioneers protect you." Anran nodded.

She gently touched her chin.

One day Leander will suspect her.

Judging from Silver Moonlight's past behavior, they might make a move at any time.

"I can't just sit here and wait to die."

After resting for a few more days, An Ran volunteered to go to the front line.

You can gain a lot of experience in mechanical manufacturing and repair, but the real main course is the Sequence Wars series of missions.

Before the first phase of the mission's settlement, Anran wanted to maximize her contribution points.
