Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Stop dreaming.

Li Zhuying pierced Zhou Jieyu's illusion with a single finger.

"Even if we add four more zeros, we still can't afford that spaceship. I'd be satisfied if it were 100 meters long."

You can travel freely in space.

The best is the kind of spaceship with a luxurious observation deck, where sitting inside feels like embracing the entire starry sky.

The blue is deep and profound, the purple is dreamy and ethereal; you can almost reach out and touch the floating dust.

Having robots to serve you would be ideal, especially if An Ran were there too...

"Hey, bamboo pole? Hey, what are you daydreaming about..."

Zhou Jieyu placed her hands on Li Zhuying's shoulders and shook her violently.

"puff--"

The two almost got into a fight.

There are endless ideas about how to use this money.

For example, they were also considering buying some robots from Anran once they had the money, so they could level up easily and happily.

Anran will not touch this money for the time being because it is still too little.

More importantly, she probably won't have any opportunities to spend large sums of money during this period.

The Star Eagles that Zhou Jieyu just mentioned have already set off with the main force of the Sixth Expeditionary Force after the live broadcast of the departure ceremony three days ago.

According to information from Nadia, Night Owl's patrol force has encountered reconnaissance aircraft from the Sixth Expeditionary Force.

That was a place quite far from the Azure Forest. However, the Azure Forest was the last well-established border region in the western part of the empire. Further west lay the new exploration area and the hiding place of the Night Owl.

War is about to begin.

The opportunity that Walter mentioned earlier is about to come.

The Elimerian Empire has been quite turbulent lately.

While the Night Owls are causing a ruckus, the Black Tide's riots show no signs of abating, and the Galaxy Free Alliance is also pressing hard; a fight might break out just as easily.

As for why there have been so many disasters...

Anran could only explain it as all being part of a plan.

Designed by a designer.

In other words, the blame should first be placed on a certain designer, but if we delve deeper, the blame should be shared equally among billions of players.

Because of their arrival, the empire "must" descend into chaos!

It wouldn't be surprising if this empire, which had been established for over a thousand years, collapsed because of this.

What? You're asking why the empire has only been established for a little over a thousand years, even though it's 8103 years now?

This makes one have to admit that the Elimeria family is a family with incredibly thick skin.

Going back to 1307, the empire in its true sense was established.

Before this, they were just lurking around in a single star system.

Even the period when they dominated the star system only lasted for a little over 500 years. The extra 6000 years is the "six thousand years of history" of the empire's birthplace.

This history has been meticulously researched and preserved in the Imperial Library's collection.

It's just that it's been removed from textbooks.

The Star River Free Alliance, whose founding year is only 1431, often uses this to mock the Imperial Family.

"Shameless!"

While patiently waiting for the "opportunity," something extraordinary finally appeared on the forum.

That was a conspiracy by many people.

I heard there are already some erotic fanfiction about the pirate princess, is that true?

[It should be true, I heard last night that someone bought a fanfiction featuring Pirate Princess x Ereshkigal.]

Where did you buy it?

[No one would say that here; if they were exposed, they might be punished by the authorities. While the authorities support fanfiction, R18 fanfiction is another story.]

That makes sense, but how exactly can I get my hands on it? I have nowhere to spend the money.

May good people live a long and peaceful life!

"..."

The number of discussions for this post quickly went up. Although it didn't make it to the forum's homepage, it could be found by scrolling down a little.

About twenty minutes later, a new reply instantly turned this post into a truly trending topic. The reply read as follows:

[I'm risking my life to give away some goodies! I just left a comment on this post, and shortly after, someone messaged me asking if I wanted to buy a fanfiction, 5 yuan per book. Apparently, the manga is already in production, so if you want some goodies, just leave a comment on this post, and you'll get a message from them soon.]

"..."

Unlike novels published on official platforms, these privately circulated erotic stories don't have any bulletproof mechanisms, but even so, creators can still earn a considerable income.

I want two!

[Yuri fanfic, thank you!]

[Is there a story where the pirate princess and Irelia come together?]

[Tentacle, thanks. DM me if you have any.]

[Sandwich cookies, thank you!]

Upon opening this trending post, this was the latest reply Anran saw.

“(??ˇ?ˇ??)”

Although I knew this would happen, seeing it still made me feel... my chest hurt.

Less than ten days after the novel was released, groups selling erotic novels have already started to take action, and even the doujinshi are on their way.

Most importantly, because the chat system cannot be used, Anran herself cannot see it!

She didn't really want to watch; she just wanted to give these players a good dressing down!

It's unbearable to repair!

Ah, wsl.

Fortunately, something motivating happened!

The official account deleted the post, and all players who were suspected of asking for "seeds" were banned from speaking for three days.

Yes, the official stance is correct!

No, this is clearly an act that hinders human progress, and I protest!

Protest denied!

The authorities ignored your explanation and imposed a ban on you.

All R18 fanfiction is prohibited from being distributed privately! In response to the government's call for healthy growth, it is essential to avoid negatively impacting the physical and mental well-being of minors, but—

However, you can publish it directly on the official novel platform!

Because official novel platforms have age restrictions!

Moreover, since these works are considered official fan works, in addition to the 30% of sales revenue taken by the official team, 20% of the revenue must be paid to the original author.

It turns out that the reason the authorities deleted posts and banned people was because they didn't get to draw "taxes".

That deer was so lifelike! That deer was so lifelike!

Players expressed their understanding, and the fan creators didn't say much. Although half of the revenue would be taken away, sales increased significantly.

Ah, wysl.

Upon seeing the official announcement pinned to the top of the forum, An Ran felt a wave of dizziness.

"Another bit of extra income! Hehe." Zhou Jieyu's eyes crinkled with laughter. "Even though it's only 20%, every little bit helps!"

Soon, Zhou Jieyu realized that this was not "mosquito meat" but "elephant leg".

According to statistics compiled by some media outlets, the total sales of fanfiction erotica novels priced at five yuan per piece reached over 5470 million within three days due to their large quantity—approximately 78 pieces.

Each article sold an average of 70 copies.

The money that ended up in Moyuzhu Studio's hands was exactly 5470 million peso.

The amount of revenue generated depends on the number of portions sold.

“d(?д??)”

"Draw, draw, draw a notebook! I want to draw a notebook too!"

"stop it!"

Li Zhuying immediately grabbed Zhou Jieyu and lectured her: "Are you stupid? That's because there are a lot of copies that we can make so much money. If we publish our own doujinshi and fanfiction, we're damaging the value of this IP. Instead of drawing doujinshi, you should draw comics!"

Zhou Jieyu frowned; she realized that what Li Zhuying said made a lot of sense.

"Then let's draw comics! I'll have my brother find me a few assistants right away!"

This child is teachable!

Li Zhuying was very pleased.

Ugh, pfft, pfft...

I'll spend 390 biru to buy all 78 erotic novels first, and then read them slowly later.

Oh, right, I need to tell Anran this good news!

"Don't worry, don't worry, we've already received almost 2 million in sales revenue!"

"They've already received almost 2 million?"

Anran just finished a call with Nadia, how could it be 200 million so quickly?

"The fanfiction of 'Beyond the Deep Space' is selling very well on the 'Stranger in the World' platform. We can get about 5470 million peals!" Li Zhuying didn't mention that it was fanfiction or erotica; she felt it was better not to tell An Ran about it.
