Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"boom--"

The sturdy warehouse was breached in an instant.

The branch office's senior management was having a routine meeting when, unexpectedly, pirates descended from the sky.

"Enemy attack! Enemy—ah!"

Hee hee hee.

An Ran frantically threw processed ores and crystals into the warp. When it came to collecting things, even all the pirates outside combined couldn't match her speed, all because she had the warp.

The ore was worth 3.5 million yuan. Before the local garrison arrived, Anran had already run away with Ella.

The next stop is the Hakata asteroid belt, the stronghold of the Hunter Star pirate crew.

The goal is to officially transform the Starhunter Pirates into the Other Shore Pirates.

……

"Number One, what do you think of this?"

In the Star Hunters Guild somewhere in the Azure Forest, three people were looking at An Ran's bounty notice.

The person referred to as Number One frowned, looking quite displeased: "I didn't expect someone to get ahead of us so quickly. It seems we've been quiet for too long lately."

"Have you decided?"

"It's decided. The guys we took down last time weren't big names. This time, we'll go big." Number One nodded.

To quickly increase the bounty, you can't kill nameless people.

Harrison will never be second best!

Chapter 27 I'm Back

Some people commit crimes with a purpose, while others do so unintentionally.

Among those who commit crimes with ulterior motives, there is a type of psychopathic pleasure offender.

He wasn't doing it for money or status; his crimes were purely to satisfy his inner perversion.

For example, Harrison's founder, Number One, who is the real Harrison, is the level 47 NPC.

Unlike the others, he committed crimes purely for pleasure. The greater the impact of his crimes, the greater his pleasure.

It's as pleasurable as successfully evading taxes after making a small fortune.

A pleasant and comfortable feeling, as if you've just taken a hot bath.

But Harrison is not happy at all right now.

Harrison was very unhappy. Since his debut, he had worked hard to reach the top and had dominated the Blue Forest Bounty List for more than two years, but he had been overtaken.

It's like suddenly having a green hat on your head; although it might increase the "fun" of your life, it makes you very angry.

They even wanted to arrest the two women who were in first place.

But he couldn't find those two people right now, so as a second choice, since he couldn't get rid of them, he would find a way to crush them.

The theme of the meeting was: How to make the Blue Forest Bounty Board fall in love with Harrison again!

(Dense fog)

How can Harrison be made the number one bounty on the Blue Forest bounty list again?

"If we take down Fitch, no one will be able to surpass us."

"With our current strength, it would be too difficult to take down Fitch, who is hiding on Aquamarine Star. It's unrealistic unless we can lure him out."

"Let's think about something practical. Although we can't take action against Fitch, we can still handle his officers."

"Isn't this taking too big a step? It's like pushing us completely to the opposite side of Fitch."

"Are you afraid of him? He's just a cowardly local governor."

"It's not that I'm afraid..."

"Then it's settled. We'll make our move on Fitch's officer."

Most people agreed with the proposal.

"Since everyone agrees, I have no objection."

"Okay, now it's time to choose a target."

……

Carrying a full load of resources, An Ran piloted the mining ship behind the main force, while Guan Xiupei also stayed on the ship to prevent the pirates from causing trouble.

The Starhunter pirate crew also reaped considerable rewards this time, no less than what they gained from raiding the transport fleet. Furthermore, they witnessed An Ran's strength firsthand; she sliced ​​off the head of a defense robot with a single sword strike, proving herself as powerful as a tigress.

They left so gracefully, while the survivors of the Fitch Mining Company branch were all on the verge of tears.

Last time, another branch was robbed, and the surviving leaders all suffered terribly. The lucky ones were just dismissed, while the unlucky ones were said to have never been seen again.

They had taken precautions, adding a mechanical unit for protection, but they still couldn't stop the ferocious bandits, and were ravaged like a distressed girl.

"Ah, I'm going to die!"

"I have a family, I can't die!"

"Playing with snakes!"

"Damn it, I'm going to throw you all into a frying pan and boil you alive!" Just as everyone was complaining, a well-timed "civilized greeting" from head office arrived, adding fuel to the fire!

"Fuck you, I'm done!"

That very night, someone took the company's spaceship and disappeared somewhere.

The remaining people started to get creative. Since they were going to die anyway, they might as well take a gamble and maybe their "bicycle" could turn into a "motorcycle".

So the remaining spaceships and various means of transportation were all taken away, along with the remaining items in the warehouse.

The next morning, when the people who went to inspect the warehouse went there, they only saw the lonely machinery "sleeping"; everything else was gone.

hum.

A sudden thought struck him, and the man grabbed a set of tools left in the office and left.

The huge branch office was completely deserted, as desolate as a "ghost town".

"when--"

Until a few players walked in.

"I was thinking we could sell these things for some money!"

"Although I don't know what happened that caused this place to be deserted, that won't stop me from moving these devices!"

The clanging sound continued for two days until someone from head office stopped it.

……

The Hakata asteroid belt is located in the western part of the central part of the Blue Forest. The shipping routes here are quite complicated, and people who are not familiar with the routes will not be interested in this place at all. It is precisely because of this that the Hunter Star Pirates can stay here comfortably.

Before coming, An Ran heard Guan Xiupei say that they had a fairly large base, but after seeing the actual thing, An Ran was speechless.

It is indeed very large, but no matter how large the land is, it is just an illusion. It's like a land grab; the land is large, but the actual living space is only so much.

These were just some low houses near the spaceship. If it weren't for the spaceship, An Ran would have felt like she had returned to the feudal era.

Congratulations to you bunch of idiots, you've got a very tasteful mechanic!

After explaining the situation to more than 200 "left-behind children," Anran took over the place where Arendt lived.

Before going out to cause trouble again, it's necessary to take some time to properly arm yourself.

The leader of the Star Hunter Pirates was still Guan Xiupei in name, so all subsequent matters were left to him to handle, such as appeasing the pirates and announcing that the Star Hunter Pirates no longer existed and would henceforth be renamed the Other Shore Pirates.

While Guan Xiupei was busy, An Ran first repaired the two somewhat damaged combat uniforms, and then began to work on the plan to modify and make money.

The metal smelting equipment worked day and night, making it a convenient arrangement to have Ella in charge of refining the metal and making small items.

After all, for Ella, refining metals was quite like cooking.

An Ran thoroughly renovated the interior of the mining ship. The small mining ship was slightly larger than her small civilian spaceship, with a three-story duplex structure. The length was not much different, at 19.7 meters.

To withstand certain special environments, the mining ship needs to have a thicker hull and better materials, as well as a more advanced internal temperature control system. Overall, Anran was quite satisfied, so her modifications to the spaceship mainly focused on the redistribution of the internal space.

Mining ships don't take appearance into account.

The interior is divided into a cockpit, power compartment, workshop, rest area, and observation deck.

Small but complete.

Anran was quite satisfied with her results.

All of this is only temporary; sooner or later she'll build an Enron that's even bigger than a space carrier!

In addition to internal modifications, the external modifications allowed Anran to add two more slots to the spaceship, which already only had one blue laser cannon installed, to mount a coil cannon and a gauss cannon from subspace.

With Anran's current intelligence of 255, analyzing the Gauss Cannon and the Blue Laser Cannon is no problem.

Having these two new blueprints isn't really something to be happy about, nor is the completion of the spaceship modification. What's truly gratifying is that the mission [so infuriating I wanted to punch someone] was finally completed during this process.

The boss kill rate on the Hunter Star is 3/7, and with the fixed rewards, the free experience gain is 290 million.

One Oath Certificate: Can summon a pirate crew of 30, with members at level 35.

And, most anticipated by Anran, is the [Elemeria Empire Infantry Firearms Blueprint Set].

This set contains hundreds of blueprints, covering all firearms currently in service with the Imperial infantry.

While these items may not significantly increase combat power, they can be used to make money.

Although Anran and Ella couldn't make too much equipment, these tasks could be easily done by robots.

Building a sea of ​​warships cannot be done entirely by hand; a highly intelligent factory is essential.

Anran had wanted to build a factory like this for a long time, and now she has the capital to do so.

First, there's the money. Although they only have a little over 1000 million pesos in cash, Enron's raw ore reserves are worth over 5 million pesos. Solving the money problem also solves the initial problem of resource shortage.

Furthermore, there's the technology. Anran has always had the technology for robots. Whether it's the robot that made Ella or the blueprints for Cleric No. 001 that they got from Tan Lu, they can all be used to make industrial robots. The performance of low-level smart chips is not outdated either. What's more, Anran also stole a few [intermediate smart chips XR6] from Fitch Mining Company.
