Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Ella didn't have a very good impression of strangers.

There were always a bunch of people looking at her with burning eyes, but the strangers seemed to be quite wealthy, so Anran would have to rely on them to make money.

They have stopped in a small town.

I've been driving for two days now, stopping intermittently, and I'm now more than a thousand kilometers away from Shuangyue City.

"Let's fill up the tank and grab some lunch while we're at it." An Ran patted Ella's head.

That feels so good!

Chapter 17 Reconnection

The towns on number 1886 were mostly poor.

Hanging on the edge of the bustling area, even if you want to go to a big city, you have to go through several transfers.

Such places are busy and diverse, and although chaotic, they also lack some rules, so many small towns are chosen as starting points for new players.

An Ran only realized that this was also a spawn point for new players after she entered the town.

You can see players with their IDs above their heads walking by from time to time on the road.

"Anran, why are you staring at them?" Ella asked, puzzled.

"These people are strangers."

An Ran explained.

"is it?"

Oh.

correct.

An Ran recalled that ordinary NPCs could not see the ID above the player's head.

"Let's not worry about that for now, let's see if there are any clean restaurants nearby." An Ran took Ella's hand.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

As An Ran was looking around, a player walked up to her.

ID: Yu Mo.

The two-character ID suggests that the player entered the game quite early, but it's surprising that they're still stuck in the newbie village.

An Ran looked at Yu Mo.

This is a girl who looks very plain.

It's not that she looks plain.

It refers to her clothing and appearance.

She wore a simple gray dress with a classic feel, and her hair was tied up with a strip of cloth.

Especially noteworthy is the wooden sword hanging from his waist.

"Any questions you have in Qinghe Town can be asked of me. My fees are very reasonable." Player Yu Mo stared at An Ran with wide eyes.

Her eyes were clear, yet with an indescribable determination.

Why would an information broker dress like that?

"The most ordinary message costs only 1 peso."

“Hmm…” An Ran pondered for a moment, “How about this, I’ll give you 20 pesos, and you tell me where there are any clean restaurants in this town, and where I can buy and sell cars. Also, I have two other people I need you to help me contact.”

"Contact person?" Yu Mo frowned. She wouldn't be leaving this town anytime soon, and these two NPCs looked like they were from out of town.

“He’s a stranger,” Anran said.

"Stranger?"

Yu Mo's eyes widened. The stranger was a player. Why was she looking for a player?

"How about that? Pretty good deal, right?"

An Ran revealed a kind (devilish) smile.

Tut tut...

You can command players for just 20 Biru, how should I put it?

“I know that you strangers have very special ways of communicating.”

"no problem."

Yu Mo nodded: "Who are you looking for?"

"One is called the leader of the escape, and the other is called the monster mountain man."

"Okay, please wait a moment." Yu Mo opened the game panel.

An Ran had no choice. Although she had the game panel, she was essentially an unregistered user. Without the game pod's authentication, she had no registered identity and therefore could not use any functions that required identity verification.

If there's anything I need, I'll have to ask other players for help.

Zhou Jieyu and Li Zhuying are both storylines that can be well utilized.

……

"Huh, someone I don't know has contacted me?"

Sitting in the car, Zhou Jieyu muttered something under her breath, which immediately attracted the attention of the person leading the charge.

"what happened?"

"Let me reply first." Zhou Jieyu waved her hand, her rifle nestled against her chest. They were on their way to Wutong City.

"You are……"

Zhou Jieyu was still slowly typing out what she wanted to say.

A message has already popped up on the other end.

I'm contacting you on Anran's behalf.

Anran, which Anran?

[If you have any news about Morning Star in the future, you can send a message to 1316...]

Hey?

It's An Ran!

An Ran's image immediately flashed through Zhou Jieyu's mind.

"Quest [Confidentiality Agreement] triggered. Do you wish to accept?"

While Zhou Jieyu was still recalling, the mission suddenly appeared.

This is a time-limited task.

The mission has a one-year timeframe.

The longer Zhou Jieyu keeps the secret, the more experience she will gain. If she keeps it secret for a year, she will gain 36500 experience points.

Over a year, the experience reward for this task is actually not much.

However, if we shorten it to a daily rate, it's still a decent amount of extra income.

Even better, intelligence gathering missions can continue to be submitted.

Zhou Jieyu is not a shameless girl, and besides, she has no reason to leak An Ran's information.

So he decisively accepted the task.

"What's going on?" the leader of the charge asked.

"It's nothing, it's none of your business anyway!" Zhou Jieyu turned her head away.

"..."

This younger sister...

……

“Then I’ll contact the next person,” Yu Mo said.

"Okay, let's begin."

……

Li Zhuying logged in immediately after the game maintenance ended.

Sitting in the familiar little house, breathing in the fresh air, touching the photos on the table, I long for the comfort of my close-fitting clothes.

It happened to be daytime in the game.

She walked out with great spirits, heading straight for Jiuge's residence.

When I pushed the door open, I only saw Daogu lying on the sofa.

"Where are the others?" Li Zhuying asked.

"Those who are recovering are recovering, and those who are training are training." Daogu showed no sign of getting up.

"And what about An Ran?"

"He's injured."

Li Zhuying's expression immediately became tense.

She remembered that An Ran was an NPC, and if she died, she would really be dead.

I couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Is she alright? She even borrowed a car from here yesterday," Daogu replied.

That's good, that's good.

They are still unaware that An Ran has already driven away.

So when Li Zhuying came to the door, she only found the door tightly closed.
