Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Don't steal the spotlight, you woman!"

Zhou Jieyu quickly squeezed out, and Li Zhuying was pushed aside.

"What's wrong, Anran?" Zhou Jieyu asked with a smile.

An Ran countered, "Did you see the shooting star just now?"

“I saw it, I saw it, but I heard it was a monster that fell down,” Li Zhuying popped up again.

"Actually, I need your help with many things, but your strength is a bit too weak. This time, it's the Zerg that's invading, so you can have a good chance to practice your skills."

Issue task prompts.

Your strength is too weak. Come back to me for the next quest after you reach level 35!

At the same time, the current training missions will be released.

Hunting invading Zerg grants 5000 experience points per kill, with the additional requirement of live-streaming the battle against the Zerg to Anran via video.

He seems quite relaxed.

I never expected that getting closer to Anran would lead to such good things.

Zhou Jieyu was stunned for a moment, but soon she received a notification that [Yu Mo] had accepted the mission.

Next up were Li Zhuying and Zhou Jieyu.

"Go quickly, go quickly," An Ran urged the three of them.

After hanging up the call, An Ran looked around and finally found a house with a wide view. She and Ella easily flew to the roof.

The 48-meter-tall house, being relatively close to the suburbs, is not very tall, but there are no large buildings between it and the site of the "fireball" impact, only some trees obstructing the view.

An Ran looked around and found the items that looked like surveillance cameras one by one.

Then he took out the kinetic energy gun and smashed them all one by one.

then……

"boom!"

A Gauss gun and two coil guns suddenly appeared on the roof.

"First, adjust the angle. Ella, adjust that Gauss cannon so it's aimed at the fire over there."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Ella's eyes have a built-in calibration function, and Anran, wearing a mask, can easily adjust the direction of the gun barrel by using ballistic calculations.

The erected fence is getting in the way.

An Ran frowned, then kicked the fence in front of her away.

Okay, now there are only a few trees left.

everything's ready.

It's time to upgrade.

……

"There's only one kilometer left. If you're going to lead the escape, you'd better run faster!"

"This is so embarrassing! Someone who's three levels higher than me can't even run as fast as me!"

Li Zhuying, who was running ahead, kept urging Zhou Jieyu behind her.

"I'm a mechanic, and you actually want a mechanic who mainly increases intelligence to race you?" Zhou Jieyu complained.

Li Zhuying pouted: "I'm also a psychic with a focus on mental abilities, not a warrior."

"But I've focused on endurance, while you've focused on agility!"

"How embarrassing! And you even named yourself 'Leading the Runaway'."

"..."

Zhou Jieyu immediately flew into a rage: "An Ran taught me this!"

The firelight illuminated her slightly round face, making it appear rosy.

"Alright, stop arguing, we're almost there."

Run along the path behind the mountain, and you'll see the crash site after crossing a dirt slope.

Along the way, they would see many other players running towards them.

Some people walked, some rode animals, and the most impressive were those who drove.

The rapid gunfire, the booming explosions, and the shouts of the players grew increasingly clear.

“Let’s begin.” Zhou Jieyu immediately sent a video call request to An Ran.

The application was approved shortly afterward.

“Just point the camera forward and do your own thing,” An Ran said.

Zhou Jieyu did as instructed.

As she moved, the slightly trembling scene gradually zoomed in, revealing a chaotic group of players.

With a whoosh, a red flame flew across the screen and crashed to the ground, instantly bursting open like fireworks from a gold and silver tree.

A crackling sound came from the video.

"I'll go hold the front, you guys clear out the bugs on the sides," Lin Yumo shouted.

"Ugh, that's disgusting."

Zhou Jieyu suddenly stopped moving.

"Disgusting my foot! Hurry up and pull out your gun."

"No, you should do the live stream for Anran. I need to go backstage and rest for a bit."

As she spoke, Zhou Jieyu handed the communication device to Li Zhuying.

"..."

I……

"Are you stupid? Can't you turn on the censorship mode?" Li Zhuying complained.

The insects crawling out from behind the flames huddled together in groups, with six legs and four eyes. Some looked like mantises, but were striped and yellowish-brown; others were plump with pointed heads and necks that could extend and retract inside their shells, like alligator snapping turtles.

They are generally between level 25 and 29.

The current players are roughly at this level, but they are well-equipped and can easily handle one or two swarms of bugs.

However, the key problem is that there are a lot of insects, and they keep emerging from behind the flames, moving very quickly.

"Even with the censorship mode on, it's disgusting. I have trypophobia! You guys can fight it yourselves. It won't matter if I'm gone or not." Zhou Jieyu was about to give up.

"Stop lying, you don't have trypophobia at all. Don't think I don't know what you're looking at. How come so many tentacles didn't scare you?"

"Pah! Don't slander me! How could I possibly watch that kind of stuff!"

"I saw it with my own eyes!"

"..."

Hey, with so many bugs around, and you two still on the phone, and there are other people around, how can you be so carefree as to discuss this kind of issue?

In the video, An Ran saw Lin Yumo raise his sword and charge forward.

"cough--"

An Ran coughed and said, "Look ahead!"

"Well……"

"..."

The two people who were still debating whether or not they had seen the tentacles immediately stopped arguing and followed the firelight. It was unclear whether their expressions had changed.

Li Zhuying wouldn't do that, would she?

They both looked up.

Together with Anran, they saw the scene ahead.

Lin Yumo deftly slashed away a leaping insect, then turned and pierced the insect beneath her feet with her sword...

Sorry, bosses, I showed the wrong video just now.

The theme is further ahead and further away—

A "king" rose from the flames!

It did not turn to ashes in the raging flames!

It has a large body.

It stands on two feet.

It spread its wings-like arms amidst the flames.

It is about to stick its head out of the flames.

The embers have not yet been extinguished.

"Move it a little to the left."

Ok?

Li Zhuying suddenly realized that it was An Ran talking to her.

"Oh, alright."

She moved a little to the left.

“Now turn around.”

"Oh."

Li Zhuying turned around obediently.

"Do you see the tallest tree?"
