Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Quest Level: SSS

Task repeatability: unique

The task reward list is enormous, varying with the level of completion and destruction, but all of them are enviable rewards.

Of course, I should accept this task!

Moreover, An Ran never intended for the empire to have a good life; she would be happiest if the empire collapsed.

Go!

They're robbing us!

Chapter 05: We pulled off a big heist

The warehouse is very easy to find because, apart from the office building and equipment storage, the remaining visible bungalows are basically warehouses.

Compared to the less technologically advanced planet, Fitch Mining Company's warehouse looks quite stylish.

It's fully automated and has a very impressive gate.

"Clang-crack-"

The gate was pierced by An Ran's Hurricane Sword.

This is an orange-tier item, made of excellent materials and enhanced with wind-attribute magic. Even if Anran's Sword Saint class level is not high, breaking through a door will still be no problem.

"Waaah, waaah waaah—"

The alarm immediately went off, but An Ran didn't care at all.

When she arrived at the warehouse, the entire mining company was already on high alert due to the bombing of the manager's office and equipment warehouse.

There are plenty of alarms that have been triggered, so one more won't make a difference.

"Clap-"

Ella, who was following behind, kicked the door open, and the two thugs rushed in instantly.

An Ran had already emptied her subspace, and the 216 cubic meter space was waiting to devour these raw ores.

Don't take the cheap stuff, throw all the valuable stuff into the subspace.

As they were throwing things around, they could hear a slightly different sound amidst the wailing alarm.

This is coming from the doorway.

"Shh—" An Ran gestured to Ella.

The two then immediately sought cover and hid.

Soon, voices could be heard coming from the door they had kicked down.

"Don't rush, let's put a probe bug in first."

"Waaaaah—"

An Ran saw a mechanical flying insect, about the size of half a little finger, fly in.

【Detector Bug】: A mechanical tool.

The effect should be similar to her spider robots and reconnaissance drones, but definitely much better.

Anran tried out her mechanical interference, but this once-useful skill was now ineffective.

The insect-detecting drones remained steady, conducting regular patrols within the warehouse and gradually approaching the location of Anran and Ella.

If it's useless, it's useless; if we're going to get close, we'll get close.

The moment An Ran saw the probe insect, she had already made up her mind.

So just as the probe insect was about to get close to her position, An Ran suddenly darted out.

Using the newly learned skill [Instant Step Lv10] consumes 80 sword energy points, has a 10-second cooldown, and forces a displacement of 0 to 8 meters.

An Ran's current total sword energy value is 575 points, and the recovery rate is 1 point per second.

The so-called forced displacement is not the same as teleportation, otherwise it would seem too exaggerated as a basic skill. It means that it can interrupt the current action and perform a displacement.

The speed of this displacement is linked to the Agility attribute.

Coincidentally, Anran's Agility attribute is a terrifying 135.

This short distance is so fast it's almost like teleportation.

"Snapped!"

An Ran instantly appeared 2 meters away, and with a wave of her arm armor, she successfully captured a probe bug, then threw it into the subspace.

I'm so happy! Once I have some free time and analyze this detector bug, those two old geezers can finally retire...

No, they can still emit light and heat, so you should just sell them to players.

An Ran hid again.

Those outside were completely bewildered by the sudden blackout.

Did you see anything just now?

"Just a shadow?"

"We still can't determine exactly how many people are inside."

"Put three more in."

Three probe insects flew in steadily.

The perfect combo of [Instant Step] and [Forward Slash] allowed An Ran to instantly catch two more small insects, while the third insect was instantly shattered into pieces by the strike of the Forward Slash.

"..."

"..."

They were all completely dumbfounded.

"Requesting backup!"

"What? No support?"

"..."

Communication ended.

"Go ahead and mess around, I'm done! You guys hide under the table and let me go die, you son of a bitch!"

"Splash, splash—"

The five of them threw away their unnecessary belongings and drove off.

Anran could hear the shouts outside clearly.

She was a little confused. At first, she thought there was some kind of trap on the other side, but after waiting for a while, there was a loud banging outside and then there was no more noise.

"..."

Since you're not coming in, then I won't be polite.

"Let's continue."

After speaking to Ella in the private channel, the two quickly went to the back of the warehouse to continue packing.

It contains not only raw metal ores, but also some special ores.

For example, there are expensive building materials, sculptures popular among the upper class, and even in a corner, you can find nearly 3000 grams of Zelo crystal worth thousands of peals per gram.

Zelo crystals can store void energy and are a key raw material for creating stable force fields.

Extremely stable.

Regardless of the consequences, let's just stuff it into the subspace first.

An Ran pondered that she had already acquired nearly 20 million peals of raw materials in this warehouse.

If you don't see anything more valuable, then let's go somewhere else.

So he safely broke through the wall and escaped.

Taking the road less traveled.

Even if there were people blocking the door, it wouldn't make a difference; they even managed to cut down a few industrial robots.

The orange-clad hurricane's sharp blade struck, and although these robots were made of good materials, they still couldn't withstand the hurricane's attack, breaking at the joints.

I only gained a paltry 18000 experience points.

However, An Ran did not come here to kill anyone this time.

She's just a thief.

Take everything of value that you can.

"boom--"

With a few more sword strikes, he pierced through another wall and safely entered the second warehouse.

The entire Fitch Mining Company was in complete chaos.

Since they had no idea how many people were coming from the other side, and two of the people in charge had been killed by a single barrage of fire from the enemy, there was no one to take charge, so the others naturally panicked.

However, after the initial panic, they finally regained their composure as the second wave of attacks did not materialize.

"Quickly, contact the head office first."

"Damn it, how dare they attack our Fitch Mining Company!"

With the governor of the entire Blue Forest as their backer, the people of Fitch Mining Company have always been very arrogant.

Of course, they are not uncommon to be taken advantage of.

The empire is very powerful at this stage, but Fitch is not a very powerful governor.

Besides, the Azure Forest has always been a place of chaos. Located on the edge of the Empire and bordering the battlefield with Night Owl, there are quite a few people who dare to disregard Governor Fitch. For example, Harrison, who aspires to be the number one bounty hunter, has killed quite a few Imperial officials.

"I can't let it go."

An Ran looked at the remaining pile of ore in front of her with a troubled expression, feeling quite unwilling. After sweeping through three warehouses, the materials she finally obtained would not exceed 1 million pesos by any estimate. Compared to the more than one billion she had lost, the difference was still quite large.
