Poverty makes me capable of anything.

This bathroom is enclosed by glass, so it feels a bit restrictive for two people to shower together.

"An Ran, may I study the female anatomy?"

"Uh……"

……

After the morning prayers were completed, Tan Lu came down from the second floor, which was now open to An Ran.

"Oh, right, priestess." An Ran suddenly called out to Tan Lu as she passed by.

"What's wrong?" Tan Lu was very pleased that An Ran remembered to call her "Priestess."

"Does Harrison have accomplices?"

"Harrison? Oh, you mean Harrison? I remember he was supposed to be a lone wolf, I've never heard of him having any accomplices."

"I see." An Ran pondered for a moment. "Thank you. I'll go check the mission first."

“Go ahead. Also, now that you’ve joined the Holy See, you need to learn about the deeds of the Soul of Ether, as well as the various prayer rituals. I’ll be checking on you every month, and if you fail to meet the standards twice, you’ll be removed from the Holy See,” Tan Lu said.

"..."

Wouldn't it be better to be kicked out if I learned advanced knowledge?

An Ran had no intention of staying here for more than two months.

If it weren't for her good intentions and the fact that she might not be able to beat Tan Lu, An Ran would have already planned to steal the advanced knowledge and run away.

She went up to the second floor, where Ella was waiting downstairs.

According to regulations, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to go up to the second floor.

The taskbar was on the left side of the second floor. When An Ran came up, she saw Tan Shi and the others sitting together with their eyes closed.

According to Tan Lu, they were experiencing the cyclical flow of etheric power.

In short, it was a scene of metaphysics.

"Clerk No. 001 created, contribution points..."

What Tan Lu posted was a complete set of tasks for players to farm contribution points.

The same applies to Anran.

The gist is that reaching a certain level of contribution will unlock new "faction features".

Reaching the level of advanced knowledge for intermediate mechanics is not difficult for Anran. The key is that the Holy See provides raw materials for mechanical crafting tasks, which is great.

let's start.

……

After a while, the Star Hunter Guild.

Anran and Ella arrived here. According to the old man, star maps were sold here.

Chapter 03 Land of Inheritance

The Star Hunter Guild truly embodies the image of a guild from the game.

Although the players haven't arrived yet, there are still quite a few NPCs standing in the guild hall.

They were either chatting or handling their personal matters at the guild's window.

The game features three windows: hunter registration, trading, and accepting quests. The registration window has the fewest users, but An Ran has no interest in registering as a Star Hunter. She went straight to the trading window.

There were six people ahead of her in line, and it was half an hour later when it was An Ran's turn.

"I want to buy the star map of the Blue Forest. Do you have any here?" An Ran asked directly.

"Yes," the staff member nodded, "as long as you can afford it."

How much does a complete star map cost?

"One million pesos."

"..."

I rely on.

An Ran's face immediately darkened.

That's damn expensive.

Even if you only buy the middle and later sections of the star map, it will cost 67 pesos, which is simply unaffordable.

If it were just a simple matter of buying a route map, that would be fine, so Anran changed her strategy.

"Then I'll buy a route map from Ruilando Star to Baihai Star. Do you sell these?"

"Please wait a moment."

The staff tapped on the screen, and the number "43000" immediately appeared in front of An Ran.

"Forty-three thousand."

An Ran figured she had over 100,000 yuan in cash, so she bought the star map without hesitation.

One problem is solved. Now all that's missing is the spaceship's energy and the advanced knowledge of an intermediate mechanic, both of which can be accomplished by simply waiting for the right time.

Therefore, An Ran was no longer in a hurry. She even asked the Star Hunter Guild if they sold spaceships and their energy sources, and the answer was yes.

If you can afford it, you can even get your hands on a large destroyer.

Needless to say, the spaceship's energy was also plentiful. After buying enough boxed energy, An Ran still had over 3 piros left. She simply sold off the things she had stolen here as well, leaving her with 9 piros after the transaction.

"The hottest mission here lately is assisting the Ninth Expeditionary Force. The Night Owls are in a bit of a panic. They just recently launched a surprise attack and destroyed one of the Expeditionary Force's space fortresses."

"The Ninth Expeditionary Force would need the help of the Star Hunters?" An Ran asked in surprise.

"Of course, they don't need them on the front lines, but when it comes to dealing with certain issues, these seasoned veterans are much better than the soldiers."

An Ran nodded; that made sense.

After leaving the Hunter's Guild, An Ran went to the hover station to recharge the reactor of his spaceship, and then returned to the Holy See to continue working.

She completed tasks incredibly quickly, so quickly that even Tan Lu was surprised. She had never seen a newbie so enthusiastic about accumulating contribution points, nor had she ever seen a newbie with such a strong foundation!

Well, actually, in the year since Tan Lu took on the role of priest here, she has only served five new people. Two of them ran away, so the sample of the remaining three people is not very representative.

"This book is the essence of our doctrine, so you must study it carefully. The monthly assessment is in nine days. Even though you are a newcomer, you still have to be assessed!" Tan Lu handed over a book.

"Oh." An Ran put down her carving knife and took the book from Tan Lu. "I will read it carefully."

Anran can increase her knowledge by reading, but she can't fully retell the contents of a book, so she'll leave that to Ella to handle until Tan Lu's assessment...

"What are the doctrines of the Mechanical Church?" Tan Lu asked.

"What are the doctrines of the Mechanical Church?" Anran asked.

Through the exclusive channel provided by Ella's Heart, Anran and Ella were happily engaging in cheating activities.

What is the specific process of the Vatican's prayer ceremony?

Calling Ella.

After several attempts to retake the exam, Anran successfully passed Tan Lu's test.

Tan Lu went on to assess the others with great satisfaction.

She felt she had recruited an outstanding newcomer who not only had solid mechanical skills but also worked very hard in studying doctrine and other knowledge, making her a potential pillar of the Vatican in the future.

She couldn't be more satisfied after seeing An Ran diligently studying the doctrine.

"Sis, I've recruited a really great new person!"

Tan Lu said happily to the illusory figure in front of her.

"How good is it?" the illusory figure asked.

"I definitely won't lose to you."

"Hehehe, you're really confident."

"Just wait."

Tan Lu confidently told An Ran to go and look at the advanced knowledge for intermediate mechanics.

“( ???)”

An Ran walked into the archives with a smile.

There aren't many books available for reading, but several can be used as advanced knowledge.

Starting from the intermediate level, due to the comprehensive application of subject knowledge, mechanics have gradually begun to differentiate, but as long as one specializes in a certain aspect of knowledge, one can advance to the intermediate level.

An Ran didn't make many choices; she first looked through books on the integration and application of electromagnetism and mechanical knowledge.

The reading intelligence requirement is 120 points, which is not a problem at all; Anran's intelligence is as high as 165.

"Ding! You've opened it..."

With 100% learning progress, I have successfully advanced to the intermediate level of mechanic.

The level also automatically increased from Lv30 to Lv31.

Compared to trainee and junior mechanics, intermediate mechanics not only receive greater attribute boosts upon leveling up, but also unlock their own specialization templates.

Specialization templates give certain special equipment created by mechanics attributes or class restrictions.

This is also a significant differentiator that sets mechanics apart from other professions.
