Poverty makes me capable of anything.

It seems like that, but the interrogation scene is a bit different from before. Why are they stripping the prisoner's shirt off? That woman's breasts are so big.

"Tell me, who are you?" An Ran changed the subject to avoid the awkward atmosphere from continuing.

The young woman said, "My name is Liang Minyao. I was leaning out the window to make sure you weren't dangerous people."

"Oh, who sent you?"

"Rodney, from Lunga..."

"Are you one of Jiuge's people?" An Ran interrupted Liang Minyao.

"???"

Liang Minyao was startled. She leaned back but accidentally bumped her head. "You know? Who are you?"

“I used to be a member of Jiuge as well.” An Ran smiled slightly.

"Are you a traitor to Jiuge?"

"Slap!" "Betray you my foot!"

An Ran flicked Liang Minyao's head: "Rodney is probably waiting for you to come back and report. He may have already seen that I have captured you and is anxiously considering a solution."

"Oh, by the way, did you guys do anything to my car?"

No, no.

"Okay." An Ran lifted Liang Minyao halfway up like a chick, emmm, and then helped her up because of the height difference.

“I’m letting you go now. Go tell Rodney that Feilian told me to find him here, and he’d better come over right away,” Anran said.

"You're really letting me go?" Liang Minyao asked in disbelief.

"If you don't want to leave, then stay and let Ella study you."

Although she didn't know what the research meant, she was sure it wasn't anything good. Liang Minyao pulled her clothes up and left without saying a word.

"Wait!" An Ran suddenly called out to Liang Minyao.

"What are you going to do?" Liang Minyao gritted her teeth, knowing it wouldn't be that easy.

"Tell Rodney to bring money when he comes. You'll have to pay for the broken glass and the curtains that were pulled down. If you hadn't caused this trouble, the glass and curtains would be..."

"I see."

So that's what happened. Although her eyelids twitched involuntarily, Liang Minyao opened the door and ran away.

I'll let you run a certain distance first.

An Ran narrowed her eyes.

"Ella, please change your clothes first. I'm going out for a bit."

After saying that, Anran took her umbrella and went out.

Twenty minutes later.

Anran booked a room.

There were four people crammed into the double room at that moment.

An Ran and a middle-aged man with a mustache sat on either side of a small table, Liang Minyao stood, and Ella sat on the bed.

"Hehe, didn't you say you didn't damage my car?" An Ran stared at Liang Minyao.

“I…” Liang Minyao blushed and turned her head away guiltily.

“Now we need to add a tire repair fee.” An Ran tapped the table.

"Splash—"

Rodney pushed the money over.

"This is my fault, I apologize to you. I didn't expect you to be the person recommended by Fei Lian."

Rodney said apologetically, "A lot has happened recently, and Lunga Town is quite close to Trading Post No. 1, so as the person in charge here, I have to be careful."

"Are there many outsiders in town lately?" An Ran asked.

"Not many, but I saw some strangers. There were no strangers here before."

"..."

Is it a player from the Morning Star side who accepted the quest?

An Ran fell silent. In a place like Lunga Town, players would almost never come here unless there was a specific reason.

"Let me first ask you about the missing Nine Songs Squad," An Ran said, getting straight to the point.

“No problem.” Rodney nodded and began to explain.

"@＃￥＃@￥"

Raindrops pattered against the newly replaced glass. Anran rested her chin on her hand, occasionally asking a question. As time went by, she learned more and more about the situation here.

The rainy season is here, and then there will be the annual storms.

……

Chapter 60 Outwitting the Air

"This is it."

Liang Minyao pointed to a village outside the car window.

Anran turned the steering wheel and drove the car into the village through the small road at the entrance.

This is an abandoned village. It is said that the team that sent the video disappeared here, and then reappeared in that building a day later.

She parked the car in front of a courtyard and got out, holding an umbrella.

"Ella, keep a close eye on the car and make sure no one gets close," Anran instructed.

"Don't worry, Anran, with these two big guys around, I can take them down from a distance!" Ella patted the two robots.

Compared to Ella's height and build, those two robots were really big.

"Can those two robots really work?" Liang Minyao asked, voicing a question that had been lingering in her mind ever since she got on the bus.

"Hello, yes, we do."

"..."

"Let's go, let's look around first." An Ran pulled Liang Minyao's shoulder.

The term "disappeared" refers to the fact that their communication signals were suddenly interrupted here.

A signal interruption could be caused by an interference source, a broken device, or the signal being deliberately cut off.

Judging from their subsequent reappearance and the video they sent, it's highly likely that the signal was interfered with.

An Ran brought Liang Minyao along for two reasons: first, because she was familiar with the area, and second, because she had the same equipment.

After searching around the village, Anran found that although the signal was very poor, it wasn't bad enough to be cut off, and in the end, she still came up empty-handed.

“They drove here, but the car was still here when they disappeared. Even if they drove all day at full speed, they wouldn’t have gone very far in the heavy rain. However…” Liang Minyao sighed, “We are also short-handed right now, so we simply can’t search the surrounding area.”

“We’re short-handed. Hmm, haven’t you thought about asking outsiders for help?” Anran asked.

"...Will the strangers help?"

Would a stranger not help?

Why would a stranger help?

"Snapped!"

"Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to find Rodney." An Ran was very disappointed in these NPCs. They had such a huge gold mine and didn't know how to make good use of it—how stupid!

Half a day later, a post appeared on the forum of the 1886 government military side.

[Nine Songs has issued an urgent mission. Location: Lunga Town, Tabus West Continent (XXX, XXX). Mission name: Find the Hidden Place. Rewards: 1 experience points, 1 Biru, and one reconnaissance quadcopter. Interested parties can go to Lunga Town and find Rodney or Anran to claim the mission.]

[Meow meow meow? What's this? An advertisement?]

[Anyone sharing a quest with such a high reward on the forum? Are you kidding me, Teemo?!]

Is this a new type of scam?

[Take it or leave it!]

[Key point: Stay safe!]

[Wasn't Anran on the South Island? How did she end up in Tubbs West?]

[You know nothing! The goddess can go wherever she wants!]

[I've really got a mission! Brothers, I'm off on an adventure!]

[A shill has arrived.]

[I've also received the task; see the picture.]

Who's this? A middle-aged man? Where's An Ran?

……

"Will this really work?" Rodney asked, watching the player walk away.

“In some matters, strangers are far more efficient and useful than your men.”

An Ran pursed her lips; she felt a little sorry for him, but also a little surprised.

The reward for simply finding a house is surprisingly high.

She initially set it to 5000 experience points, but the game indicated that the reward was insufficient and she could not post the task. She finally succeeded after increasing it to the current value.

There must be a big secret behind this!

All she had to do now was wait patiently. The wind and rain outside were relentless, and the weather was so gloomy that Anran wouldn't find anything by searching the wilderness alone. Taking this opportunity, she decided to take Ella to check out Trading Post No. 1.

……

"Suddenly, a lot of strangers have appeared in the vicinity, and they seem to be looking for something." In a brightly lit house, several people were holding their daily routine meeting.

Can we confirm their purpose?
