Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Two hours?

Chen Tong stood up and waved his hand.

"Let's go over there! I absolutely have to get this first kill. I have to crush those bastards from the [West Tower Guild]!"

As fellow Chinese from the Central Plains, Chen Tong and the Lord of Doom of the West Tower Guild had a much deeper conflict than the Lord of Doom and the seller of clods, Tailu.

"alright."

With the bigwigs speaking up, what can the menial workers say?

Anyway, there's plenty of money, and the VIP paid for the transportation, so we should just obediently follow the VIP around.

Chen Tong led a group of people and rushed towards the second Taiya insect.

Only the Taiya worm, lying on the ground, remained dead with its eyes wide open.

This isn't a game!

As a minor boss, it hadn't harmed a single NPC when it first appeared; it had only killed a few players who could resurrect. How could it have been killed by an NPC that appeared out of nowhere?

The King Worm, sensing something amiss, was furious. It could tell that nearly half of the worms that had gained evolutionary opportunities through the slaughter were dead.

Roar!

The King Worm sprayed a burst of energy that blew up a squad of players who couldn't dodge in time.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The King Worm has entered a berserk state!"

"Haha, we've finally taken down half of its health! Let's give it another push!"

"Wait for me to run back!"

"I thought it had a lot of health, but it only has a little over 40,000 health."

"Stop talking nonsense, watch out."

The hundreds of players who were ganging up on the King Worm were all beaming with joy. They never expected that their first attempt would yield such great results. The King Worm, which looked extremely powerful, only had a little over 4 HP, and at most no more than 6.

Wouldn't that mean...?

The group was overjoyed, unaware that An Ran had tricked them. If anyone could see the King Worm's health bar, they would have turned and left immediately.

Forget about 4 or 5 HP, this BOSS that brings B-level disaster has a full 35 HP.

It's just playing house with the players right now. Once it really gets angry, how could these players who aren't even level 40 possibly stop this level 50 BOSS?

Reality taught them a painful lesson.

……

An Ran was unaware that her actions had caused trouble for the players, and even if she did know, she would probably keep it to herself.

It would take Chen Tong and his group two hours to get here by car, but An Ran could fly over in just half an hour. This Taiya insect was clearly larger than the previous one, and its level had reached 45.

However, this did not make it feel safer. Faced with the two menacing "little animals," the Taiya worm roared and pounced on them. After a while, it collapsed to the ground and went to keep its brothers and sisters company, providing Anran with 307 million experience points and a pair of grass worm pants.

This was a battle without much drama. If there was anything noteworthy, it was that An Ran once again ended the life of the Taiya Worm with an extremely cool storm blade and missile barrage.

Halfway through the fight, she noticed several players observing from the sidelines. After taking a break and checking the forum, she discovered that someone was indeed livestreaming the battle.

So……

"Storm Blade!"

Then came the crossfire of missiles from her and Ella's four guns!

"go to hell!"

"Boom boom boom—"

"Damn insects, we humans will never lose to you! If we can defeat you once, we can defeat you twice, until we completely wipe you out!"

An Ran stepped on the corpse of the Taiya worm, raising his arms and shouting "righteously" while having Ella quietly pick up the fallen grass worm pants.

"Let's go, Ella. There are still more bugs ahead waiting for us to eliminate. We must save Kleber from this bug plague!"

"Oh!"

Ella cooperated by making a small fist with her right hand, raising it high above her head, and then cheering in the direction where Anran was.

Then, with her hands behind her back, she lightly jumped off the Taiya insect.

【666】

[Anran, awesome! (voice cracks)]

[A mix of cuteness and passion—is this what they call "cute to the point of bleeding"?]

I feel inexplicably excited.

Oh no, it's that feeling of falling in love.

An Ran is the messenger of justice on Planet Kleber, a people's hero of Planet Kleber!

Brothers, kill those bugs!

If all the bugs were killed, Anran wouldn't have to work so hard.

[It's over, the simps have invaded the game.]

Sis, I want to...

Wait a minute, guys, won't the NPCs just clear out the boss themselves? Then what do we...?

[This is definitely part of the plot; it means these bugs weren't meant for us to fight in the first place.]

【…】

What you said makes so much sense!

In an instant, the live stream chat was flooded with comments.

Although he wanted to broadcast more of An Ran fighting the bugs, he couldn't keep up with An Ran and Ella's speed and had to give up regretfully.

Anran and Ella stopped in an empty building.

As expected, there was no problem.

After leaving the live stream, An Ran nodded with great satisfaction. Although her acting was terrible, the players still believed it was real.

"Anran, Anran, why did we shout like that just now?" Ella asked curiously.

"This is called image building, and then..."

Anran patiently transmitted her set of theories to Ella.

"Oh," Ella exclaimed, suddenly realizing.

Acting skills are something...

Go back and find some books and video materials to study. You can also watch the works of some famous actors and learn from their acting skills.

Ella thought this was a very feasible idea.

An Ran has now accumulated more than 2500 million experience points, which is enough to allow a mechanic to level up six times in a row. However, she is not in a hurry at all. While waiting for news of the location of the next Taiya bug, she wanders aimlessly in the city, killing bugs when she encounters them and feeding high-quality metals to Ella.

Just an hour after she left, Chen Tong finally arrived at their destination with his men.

"I changed buses twice, and I feel like throwing up," someone complained.

"Who told you to keep staring from the car? What's so interesting about the scenery?"

"I've never been to the West, can't I at least take a look?"

Chen Tong stepped out of the entertainment area, pushed up his glasses, and said, "Alright, stop complaining. Let's see where that bug is."

"I'll go check out the forum."

"Let's all look for it together. Now that we're all here, we can't just leave empty-handed."

Chen Tong opened the forum as he spoke.

Search for the keyword "Taiya insect" and sort by time.

Have it.

[The righteous hero An Ran has successfully eliminated another Taiya worm!]

This news is from over ten days ago, and people are still bumping the post up. Moreover, that MPC has even been given the title of a hero of justice. That's amazing. But then again, she's the main character in the Blue Forest login video, so it's normal for her to have such a reputation among players.

Chen Tong shook his head slightly and continued scrolling down.

[The Zerg must die! Beautiful female NPCs lead the charge, and even the Teyvats are not spared!]

Why are there posts like this again?

Chen Tong quickly checked and even wondered if he had selected the wrong time when filtering.

But there was no reversal.

Playing tricks.

This group of people is toxic; they keep bringing up these old news stories, drowning out all the useful information.

Hey.

Chen Tong sighed and was about to continue searching when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

"Found it?" Chen Tong asked in confusion.

The man nodded, his face bitter: "I found it, but..."

"What's so great about it? Now that we've found it, let's hurry up and go!" Chen Tong said with a look of joy.

"..."

"What's going on?" Chen Tong raised an eyebrow when he saw that the person he was talking to was not saying a word.

"Could it be..." he guessed, "that someone is fighting that Taiya worm?"

If that's the case...

"Even if I have to steal it, I'll take that Taiya insect!" Chen Tong clenched his fist, fearless.

I got the BOSS through my own skills, what can you do to me?

"Sigh—" The person sighed. There was no way to hide this anymore, so he decided to just say it directly. "Chen Tong, you must keep a calm mindset."
