Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Anyway, news will be out soon, I'll just log off and wait, that way it'll be faster.

[It's already version 4.0 without us even realizing it, time really flies!]

Yes, I'm a veteran player who joined the game as soon as it was released.

In short, the new version shouldn't require traveling to such a distant place as the New World Starfield.

The press conference finally came to a close amidst enthusiastic discussions among players.

The war that captivated countless hearts has ended.

Ordinary people no longer need to worry about being blasted apart by energy beams falling from the sky while they are walking.

With the end of the war, commercial activities that had been suspended resumed one after another.

However, peace is not so easily attained.

The situation is somewhat better in the Exiled Empire.

Eternal Star Road is still having a headache over the silver moonlight.

They had originally planned to stand with the Unbeliever Legion, but due to Lumina's interference, they had to break their promise to the Unbeliever Legion.

In the end, the joint operation failed, and Lumina was not captured.

By the time the Eternal Star Road's punitive expedition arrived near the Future Ship, Lumina had already vanished.

All that remained was a pile of rubble and Vesta, who stood like a sculpture on the Ark of the Future.

"Let's increase vigilance first."

"What about the Unbeliever Legion?"

"We still need to send someone over, otherwise they probably won't make a move."

"I understand."

Eternal Star Path has revised its strategy.

Anran doesn't care about any of these things.

Her attention was now entirely focused on the mission settlements in the Sequence Wars.

She contributed a lot of points in the battles in the planetary graveyard and the Eagle Eye sector. Later, her participation in several battles with the main force also helped her gain a lot of reputation.

After the task is completed.

An Ran gained a total of 47210 trillion experience points, which was enough for her to level up to level 227 in one go.

As things progress normally, after her race evolves into the [Void Inheritor], when Anran reaches level 225, she will have another chance to evolve her life level.

However, she went astray during this period.

Not only did it evolve twice more, but it also veered onto a completely new evolutionary path, and this evolution opportunity was adapted to simply enhance its talent.

【Void Fluctuation】transforms into 【Void Domination】.

The effects also change accordingly.

[Void Domination]: When attacked, you have a chance to escape into the void, causing the attack to miss (current probability 4.52%). While escaping into the void, you can recover an equal amount of health by seizing void space.

Compared to Void Fluctuation, Void Domination lacks the qualifier "physical attack" and adds a healing effect. Although the probability calculation formula remains unchanged, the effect is several times more powerful.

Aside from the subtle changes in experience and talent, what Anran values ​​most is the newly added Servant slot, which means she can control two psionic Servants at the same time.

The blueprint reward was something Anran was also looking forward to.

The three limited-edition blueprints are [Psychic Servant: Sky Lord], [Psychic Servant: Kingslayer], and [Psychic Resonance].

Sky Lords and Kingslayers represent two different evolutionary paths for psionic Servants.

The former is a "mobile turret" that uses the unpredictable nature of psionic energy to snipe from a distance. When it works in conjunction with ranged psionic creations, it receives a 150% attribute bonus.

The latter is a "thug" known for its bloody melee combat, and its attribute bonus is 140% when fighting alongside melee-type psionic creatures.

In fact, the most valuable blueprint is none other than the Psionic Resonance.

In layman's terms, it is equivalent to a "common program".

Guided by the psychic resonance, the two psychic followers and the "minions" they commanded rallied around Anran.

Close-range coordinated combat offers numerous bonuses, including increased damage output, shield strength, and critical hit rate.

With this set of things combined, Anran's strength can at least double.

If she were to face Leander again at this point, even if he were at his peak, Anran could easily pin him to the ground and rub him against the ground.

Leander couldn't even break through the "walls" of the mechanic's private territory woven by two psionic Servants.

Anran immediately prioritized the modification of psionic Servants.

Only after finishing all that did she begin to tally the remaining mission rewards.

Not everything that comes out of the prize pool is good, after all; only one instant recovery potion caught her eye.

All the other less useful items were safely displayed on the shelves of the Mechanicus merchant guild for sale.

"We need to expand the size of our mechanized forces, but we still don't have enough special metals."

An Ran frowned as she glanced at the list she had made.

What's most lacking is sublimated material.

This stuff needs to be mined from hyperspace, and the mining cost is extremely high.

An Ran gritted her teeth and still sent out several fleets.

She once wanted to dig up the star path of the Eternal Star Path, because the main material used to make the star path was sublimated material.

An Ran gave up immediately, thinking only of the angry look on Eternal Star Road after being exposed.

She doesn't have the resources to challenge Eternal Star Road on her own right now.

Besides the sublimation material, Enron also lacks some rare metals.

She didn't ask for much, but it wouldn't be possible to raise the money in a short time.

Anran is in a hurry.

It's all Vesta's fault. If he hadn't joined forces with those merchant guilds to suppress the Cult of the Machine God, An Ran wouldn't be in such a bad situation.

"We still need to ask the Exiled Empire for help in mediating."

She didn't build up the empire's reputation so high just for show.

Half a day later.

The War Court received a letter from Anran.

"Are we short of metals again?"

"Nathaniel asked."

"Yes."

The officer who came to report the news nodded and said.

"Speaking of which..."

Nathaniel recalled the resolutions made at the meeting not long ago.

Due to An Ran's contributions during the Sequence War, the War Court unanimously decided to promote her to First-Class Court Envoy.

Unlike second-level court envoys, first-level court envoys can already participate in the core decision-making of the exiled empire to a certain extent.

Nathaniel said, "Go contact the Academy of Mechanical Sciences and ask them to send some rare metals over as an emergency. An Ran is a first-level court envoy, so they probably won't refuse."

"I'll take care of it right away."

The clerk turned and left.

When he got near the door, Nathaniel called him back.

"Wait, while you're at it, contact Anran and tell her I have something to talk to her about."

"Yes."

Nathaniel wanted to talk about the Hidden Sandbar Development Project.

The process of banishing the empire cannot be stopped.

Since the path through the New World Starfield is currently blocked, we'll have to try another direction.

In addition to exploring the outer realms, the Hidden Sandbar also came into their view.

of course.

It all started when Anran sent players to mine in the Hidden Sands.

"The lives of strangers are worthless."

Anyway, they can be resurrected.

This greatly reduces the cost of exploring hidden sandbars.

"I have no objection."

After hearing Nathaniel's plan, he replied calmly.

With so many players, she couldn't possibly manage everyone.

Let the exiled empire do whatever it wants.

However, Nathaniel did not come to her seeking her consent in the first place.

Nathaniel came to learn from the scriptures and also to inform Anran that she was about to be promoted to a first-level court envoy.

"I am extremely grateful."

A few days later, the metal transferred from the Academy of Mechanical Sciences was sent to the Divine Court, and An Ran also took time to go to the War Court headquarters to participate in the promotion ceremony.

At the banquet, she was practically a celebrity.

Starfield rulers kept coming over to greet her.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and lively conversation, everyone was in high spirits, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Only Vesta was in a very bad mood.
