Poverty makes me capable of anything.

The guild leader of 【West Tower】, Lord of Doomsday, suddenly discovered that he had received a new private message in his forum backend.

This kind of thing happens all the time; he receives many private messages every day.

However, the Lord of Doom has never set up a block for strangers on the forum, and the private chat is mostly filled with trashy information, such as gambling and recruitment information, but there are always some useful messages.

Normally he wouldn't check the private messages immediately, so Orange Juice waited until midnight to receive a reply from the Lord of Doom.

As for other messages, they all disappeared without a trace, with no response.

"call--"

The orange juice flavor breathed a sigh of relief.

She cast a wide net, contacting all the guild leaders, second-in-commands, and third-in-commands of the major guilds on the government's side, but in the end, only the Lord of Doomsday replied to her.

She was almost driven crazy with worry.

[Oh, are you serious? You really can get your hands on those two robots from Anran? You even know Anran?]

That concludes the reply from the Lord of Doom.

Why would the Lord of Doom revert to orange juice flavor?

This could actually be considered one of his quirky interests.

The Lord of Doom also believes that Orange Juice Flavor is a common online scammer, but he personally enjoys dealing with scammers and takes pride in fighting them.

"Yes, what I said is true," Orange Juice replied quickly.

She has to find a way to seize this opportunity.

Doomsday Lord is a very famous player on the government side.

He is the guild leader of the major guild [West Tower], and is also a well-known wealthy man.

【You say it's true, so what proof do you have?】

I have the evidence, please wait a moment.

The Lord of Doomsday was waiting, and as he waited, he discovered that Orange Juice Candy had sent him a short video.

After clicking, it showed a video of Orange Juice watching as an observer watching Enron control Butler Number 1 to torture and kill the group of people from the Coolie gang who came to cause trouble.

The person filming the video showed orange-flavored candy.

It seems this player actually has some real skills.

She knew where Anran was, that was true.

Now you believe me, right? I'm essentially Enron's middleman now. She wants to sell these robots, and I'm helping her find interested clients.

That sounds quite plausible.

The Lord of Doomsday thought that this was likely a very clever conman.

"I do have an idea, but I don't know what the price would be," the Lord of Doom replied.

I'll ask about the price for you later, but there's one thing we need to make clear beforehand: as an intermediary, I'll definitely be taking a percentage fee, but I'm not asking for much, just 2%.

Okay, now we've finally gotten to the money.

The Lord of Doom raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.

When will you receive this agency fee?

"I'm just an intermediary. You can hand it over to me when you and Anran complete the transaction in person."

"what?"

The Lord of Doomsday was immediately taken aback.

Face-to-face transaction; he wasn't mistaken, it really was a one-way transaction.

Uh……

This doesn't seem like a scam, or is it a new scam?

The Lord of Doom hesitated for a moment.

Okay, then go ask about the price for me first.

Chapter 55 A Long-Awaited Reunion

When Orange Juice asked about the price, Anran told her the same price she had given to Jiuge.

There was no intention to rip off players; it's the price, take it or leave it. However, when negotiating with Jiuge, she can offer a slight discount and then make a few other requests.

"First, we need to borrow the workshop at the research institute. It's fully equipped, and all of it is automated, which can greatly increase the production speed."

“Of course, no problem,” Lü Changming readily agreed.

An Ran continued, "Secondly, I would like to see the materials from the R&D center. I feel that my knowledge is still lacking and I need to take further training."

"I'll do my best, it shouldn't be a big problem, but there will definitely be a lot of restrictions from the R&D center."

"As long as the restrictions aren't too excessive, it's fine."

While ordinary NPCs have to painstakingly translate word by word, she only needs to get the progress to 100%, she's incredibly powerful.

Are there any other requirements?

"Other requirements..." An Ran pondered for a moment, "If you could cover the cost of the materials, that would be best."

"..."

“If you’re willing to rejoin Jiuge, I might consider this suggestion,” Lu Changming said.

"Then forget it." An Ran refused outright, but then added, "I'll sell you some information, do you want it?"

"..."

Lu Changming fell silent for a moment; the familiar routine was about to begin again.

He asked directly, "How much do you want?"

“Based on my analysis, this news is quite important, so it may be quite expensive,” Anran said.

"Just name your price."

"What about the cost of raw materials for those ten robots?" An Ran asked, presenting a condition.

"..." Lu Changming's lips twitched. "This must be close to 20, you're really not being polite."

“Important news is certainly worth this much money. This news might just end the war with Morning Star as soon as possible,” An Ran said confidently.

"what?"

Lu Changming was stunned. If An Ran's words were true, news that could end a war with no end date in sight was a bargain, let alone 20.

That just sounds too fantastical.

An Ran added, "If you follow this line of investigation, you might be able to find out the purpose of Morning Star's actions."

"Tell me," Lü Changming said, "if it really works, I'd give you my position as vice minister, let alone cover the cost of raw materials for those ten robots."

"Forget about the vice minister position. If you're really going to be so kind, I'd be more than happy if you could just buy me two tickets to the Blue Sea Forest," An Ran muttered softly.

"Are you really going to the Azure Forest?"

"Yes."

"Alright, if your information is useful, I'll send you two tickets to Senting Star after the war ends."

Mori-ting Star was the first stop on the way to the Blue Forest in 1886.

Anran's destination is White Ocean Star, but to get there, she must pass through Moritsuba Star.

"Then I look forward to the war ending soon."

After speaking, An Ran relayed the news she had heard from Adrian to Lü Changming.

"Were they measuring things outside Trading Post 1, or were they with people from other planets?"

Lu Changming's expression suddenly turned serious.

Heloise is the mastermind behind many of Morning Star's operations. According to recent information, she is also the most perfect test subject in Morning Star's human experimentation program, making her a highly regarded and valuable asset for Morning Star.

Some speculate that the change in leadership of Asi City was due to Morningstar's higher-ups' dissatisfaction with Heloise's failures, which led to her temporary removal from office.

But Lü Changming always felt that this speculation was unreasonable. Just look at how the newcomer Zhu Sheng was useless; Chenxing definitely had ulterior motives.

They want to send Heloise to carry out a more important mission.

"This news seems really important. I need to get back to you as soon as possible. Once you arrive in Shuangyue City, contact Feilian directly. He will take you to the research and development center." Lu Changming's tone was a little impatient.

"No problem, you can go do your thing."

After hanging up the phone, Anran still felt a bit emotional.

I've been away for several months now, and this should be the last time I return to Twin Moon City.

……

The South Island is more than 3000 kilometers away from Twin Moon City. Although it is far away, An Ran did not choose to take a car back. Instead, she drove the off-road vehicle she had stolen.

This way, she can bring all her things along, and it will be easier for her to move around.

With Anran's current physical strength, she wouldn't be fatigued even if she drove for several days and nights without rest.

If Ella weren't too short, it would be much safer for her to drive.

Along the coastline, the off-road vehicle's wheels spun rapidly. As it turned into the Great Plains, the surrounding environment became somewhat desolate. Once it entered an even more ruined wilderness, it was not far from Twin Moon City.

After the Battle of Wutong City ended, peace was restored in this far eastern part of the Canyon Continent, and some vehicles could be seen on the roads again.

During the two days that Anran was driving, Lü Changming was also busy for a moment.

The message he relayed attracted great attention from the higher-ups of Jiuge, because it involved Night Owl, Jiuge's minister, who was also the one from the Ninth Expeditionary Force. They had always suspected that there might be some kind of conspiracy involved.

An investigation into the matter was immediately assigned, and although there was no substantial progress in the two days, the schedule was packed with related meetings.

Lu Changming only had time to notify the R&D center and Feilian before rushing off to the next meeting.

Fei Lian was thrilled to hear that An Ran was coming back, and couldn't wait to appear in front of her and say thank you.

As for the reason, An Ran guessed it when she met Fei Lian.
