Poverty makes me capable of anything.

The shouts were drowned out by the sound of the wind.

An Ran's figure had already disappeared into the air.

It’s over.

She took the wristband he used to communicate with her, and now he was standing on the roof of a building over 400 meters high, a spire structure from which it was impossible to walk directly down.

This……

Looking down, Nadia felt incredibly frustrated.

At this moment, he either had to wait patiently for Walter to send someone to rescue him, or he could become Spider-Man and climb down from the roof.

Gan!

……

"pat-"

An Ran casually tossed the bracelet into the swarm of insects. Before leaving, she used [Tornado] in conjunction with the barbecuing skewers to clear out another wave of more than 60 insects.

After completing all of this, An Ran returned to the spaceship's location.

Zhou Jieyu and Li Zhuying returned from their decisive battle, and just by looking at their expressions, you could tell that Zhou Jieyu had the last laugh in this great battle.

They fought for a long time, so much so that Lin Yumo tried out the newly released "Battle Royale" mode.

This time, she still couldn't have the last laugh. Although she took down many people with her superb skills, she was eventually outmaneuvered by several players working together.

"By the way, are you free right now?" An Ran asked.

Yes, yes, yes.

"what happened?"

“I’m looking for a kind of insect called the Taiya Worm, which is an evolved insect…” An Ran described the physical characteristics of the Taiya Worm eggs and larvae.

Each unborn Taiya worm eliminated is equivalent to preventing a Class C disaster.

The rewards are quite generous.

An Ran is now making two plans: building her own base on one hand, and using her spare time to farm experience and items with insects. She wants to do both things well, which perfectly meets the requirements of her superiors.

“This is a prop I made using the Teya worm.” An Ran took out the compound eye helmet. “If anyone can find the Teya worm, this will be theirs.”

"..."

Yes, Zhou Jieyu and the others saw the properties of the compound eye helmet, but they also saw its appearance.

This is indeed a bit hard to accept.

"..."

Well, Anran quickly realized this. For some players, the compound eye helmet was very tempting, but for players who valued appearance more than attributes, it was still a bit difficult.

"cough……"

An Ran coughed lightly.

Let's change it then.

She pulled a small robot out of the subspace.

"This one will do too."

It looks like a miniature version of a large robot.

Although it is only 140cm tall, this robot is actually more valuable than the compound-eye helmet. Since An Ran did not originally intend to use it as a mission reward, she did not cut corners and equipped it with a mid-level smart chip. At level 37, it would be considered an elite monster if thrown into the wild, and ordinary players would not be able to defeat it.

If the same task is issued and the robot is used as the reward, Anran would not need to pay experience rewards.

But overall, since the experience was provided free of charge by the system, it was still a loss.

(￣～￣;)

Let's just give the extra options to those three people.

Upon seeing the robot, Zhou Jieyu and the others' eyes lit up immediately.

The reward was excellent and very tempting, but they had never heard of what a Taiya worm was.

I still have to ask for help from other people on the forum, just like before.

The chances of success if you just ask others for help are actually quite small. If a player discovers such a rare monster, unless they really can't defeat it themselves, why would they tell others? Unless there's a strong enough incentive, but they don't have anything of sufficient value to entice other players.

"Even if you don't know, you can find someone who does, but the only reward is this drone."

An Ran then took out another drone.

This is her new product, an improvement upon the initial drone she received.

In terms of firepower alone, it is no worse than the robot, but it has less ammunition and no melee capability.

She never expected Zhou Jieyu and the others to know the whereabouts of the Taiya insect.

"emmm..."

Although there are no cool robots, drones are still pretty good.

Zhou Jieyu thought about it, but if she couldn't get the robot herself, she couldn't give it to someone else either. So she decisively stepped forward: "I think that lousy helmet... well, I mean that cool helmet is good enough. The production cost of a robot is so high, and it's just a piece of information, there's no need for such a generous reward. The helmet is fine!"

She emphasized it again.

Uh……

Li Zhuying quickly gave Zhou Jieyu a wink, and Zhou Jieyu returned the wink.

"That's fine then." An Ran put the robot away.

"Hmm." Zhou Jieyu nodded in satisfaction.

When An Ran went to teach Ella how to operate the excavator, Li Zhuying immediately pulled Zhou Jieyu aside, and Lin Yumo followed.

"Hey, are you out of your mind? Why would you want that crappy helmet if you have a robot? Even if it's a suit, it's too ugly."

Zhou Jieyu glared at him: "Are you stupid? Do you even know where the Taiya worm is?"

Li Zhuying shook her head.

“That settles it. We have no idea where these bugs are. We can only look at the robot for now. All we can get is the drone. Rather than seeing other players take the robot, we might as well let them get that hideous helmet,” Zhou Jieyu explained.

"what."

Li Zhuying's eyes lit up: "You really are a clever little devil!"

"Wouldn't that be a bit too bad?" Lin Yumo said.

Zhou Jieyu leaned close to Lin Yumo and whispered, "Yumo, do you really want to see unfamiliar players showing off using Anran's bots on the forum?"

Lin Yumo shook her head.

"That's settled then!" Zhou Jieyu patted Lin Yumo on the shoulder. "You can't go wrong with my advice! Hmph, next time you play battle royale mode, call me along, and let me teach you the correct way to play this mode."

"Oh."

Lin Yumo nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Jieyu's statement made some sense. Although her arena score wasn't high, she had already won the championship flag more than ten times in the battle royale mode, while she herself had only won it once.

In Battle Royale mode, the championship flag can be redeemed for items in the shop, and it also serves as a reflection of a player's skill.

Li Zhuying rolled her eyes, watching Zhou Jieyu fool Lin Yumo, but she didn't expose Zhou Jieyu. She felt that Lin Yumo's personality was too honest, which was not good. She would be easily deceived by scumbags in the future. It was actually good for Zhou Jieyu to subtly change her like this.

……

Click click.

The next day, Ella was able to operate the excavator skillfully. She dug out a tower behind the spaceship, and her superb skills amazed Zhou Jieyu and the others.

I grasped a blade of grass.

Could this person have cultivated in the ancient sect Nanxiang?

Ella was very satisfied with her results, and Anran was also very satisfied.

All the preliminary preparations for building the base are complete; now it's time to head to the destination.

The place she chose was next to "Turbulence," which is said to be the remnant of a giant planet's explosion. It has few resources, complicated shipping routes, and is quite remote!

However, Enron has a "map" system, which is much more useful than the most advanced detectors and star map systems in Night of the Stars.

While waiting for the results, Zhou Jieyu, under the name of "Moyuzhu Studio," revealed on the forum that the blue-haired girl standing on the robot and fighting insects was An Ran.

Everyone says that without pictures, there is no talk.

Moyuzhu Studio has both pictures and videos.

Just as that video was selected by the official team as the new login video for players of Ocean Forest, the post revealing the news was instantly pushed to the homepage of the main forum and dominated the top spot in the market.

Meanwhile, the number of followers of Zhou Jieyu, Li Zhuying, and Lin Yumo also surged in a short period of time, with the least follower reaching nearly a million.

An Ran's popularity among players was naturally unquestionable, soaring to unprecedented heights, especially among players from number 1886, who were utterly astonished.

Is it already that strong?

But where there are praises, there are also doubts.

Especially after Zhou Jieyu issued that task again.

The NPCs in that video didn't even show their faces, so who knows if it's cosplay? Maybe it's just some talent agency pulling a fast one because they see a way to make money. This kind of thing has happened before, so if they say it, then it's fine.

[Isn't there a video?]

There is a video, but the robot in the video doesn't move. Who knows if it's fake, or even a composite image?

【…】

Since the videos were all made in [Night of the Stars], even the best video creators can't tell if the videos have been tampered with, unless they can hack into the [Night of the Stars] server.

Whether the video was real or fake didn't matter much; as long as it was cool, that was enough. But this leaked post was different.

[Conspiracy theories, get lost! Have you ever seen cosplay with such a high degree of similarity?]

【Who said there isn't?!】

As a result, a trend of cosplaying Anran suddenly emerged on the forum in a short period of time.

First, countless female players participated, and then countless male players joined in.
