Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Zod muttered a couple of things under his breath.

Before long, Anderson and Zod left with their men.

Watching their figures disappear through the doorway, An Ran's gaze fell on Maggie again.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, suggesting that Anderson didn't seem to care about Maggie's life or death as much as one might expect. Although she didn't know why, she certainly did care.

Okay, now everyone's been sent away.

……

"boom!"

Large sections of glass shattered, and the rushing players advanced rapidly before encountering any elite monsters.

The situation reversed suddenly when several NPCs of level 45 or higher appeared in front of them.

However, more and more police officers gathered outside Sky Mountain, and the guards of the Time Energy Tower were also armed and ready to be dispatched at any time.

Those remaining in the stadium now are basically players, security personnel, and attackers.

News of Sky Mountain's abduction had already spread throughout the entire Minglan Star.

"The kidnappers have not communicated with the police yet, and we still don't know the situation of singer Cornelia. Fortunately, the audience in the stadium has almost all been evacuated."

"According to expert analysis, the standby anti-gravity units of Sky Mountain Stadium have stopped operating, and it is only the backup units that are supporting the stadium and preventing it from falling. At this moment, Minglan Star is facing a huge test. If Sky Mountain Stadium falls from a height of 1200 meters, the force of the explosion could completely destroy the city."

"Destroy your mother, get out of here!"

The reporter was about to say a few more words when a fat policeman rushed over from the side and kicked the live broadcast equipment to pieces. Other reporters who wanted to film the situation were also controlled by the enraged policeman.

"These reporters are just stirring up trouble; they should be killed!"

"Close them all first. Notify all obstacles in the Sky Mountain's route to be removed, and also notify the air traffic control to prohibit flights in this area."

The police officer who was speaking looked up and saw many flying objects hovering around him.

How hateful, always causing trouble.

……

"Anran, we've arrived at Sky Mountain Stadium!"

While she was busy, An Ran saw this message from Zhou Jieyu.

Chapter 57 The Fall of the Mountain and the Tower

After cracking the outer layer of protection, An Ran only took a few minutes to form a rough outline of the internal structure of the large anti-gravity unit.

In fact, the principle is not much different from the blueprints she had obtained before, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

In the game, technological reserves are an important metric for the speed of research after reaching the intelligence threshold. Anran hasn't been studying mechanical technology much lately, so she hasn't noticed any shortcomings in this area yet.

Compared to ordinary NPCs, she is like a container with no upper limit. In Maqi's eyes, Master Yin took more than 40 years to reach his current level, while An Ran, as long as she "takes" all of Master Yin's blueprints, can become as strong as Master Yin in a month at most.

"I'm at the usual place, Yu Mo knows. If you can come, then come."

After sending the message, An Ran continued to study the machine, but she had Ella, who was free at the time, monitor the two people guarding Maggie and the hacker's every move.

Anran had already checked the levels of the two level 44 NPCs; the hacker was level 38.

It would be best if Zhou Jieyu and the others could come smoothly. If not, we'll have to find a way to lure them over and then kill them. I'm afraid they might send out a message like "An Ran killed me" before they die, which would mean we'd have to break ties with Harrison and the others, which wouldn't be good.

Fortunately, Lin Yumo did not disappoint An Ran.

They didn't encounter Anderson along the way. Several level 43 and 44 elite monsters were surrounded and beaten by more than a dozen players and finally fell to the ground and died unwillingly, although two players also died in the process.

"Are there really any missions to take up ahead of us?"

A female player asked Zhou Jieyu with a puzzled look; this was the third time she had asked this question.

If she hadn't heard about the quest, she would have already gone to find the BOSS with the other players.

"Don't worry, there definitely is. I saw it before. If I could beat those NPCs, why would I share this kind of hidden quest with you guys!"

Zhou Jieyu patted her chest, looking confident, as if she had actually been to Sky Mountain.

This made Lin Yumo admire Jieyu greatly; Jieyu was indeed incredibly capable.

"Ah."

Since Zhou Jieyu had already said so much, the female player no longer had any doubts.

At least the three who brought them here this time are the "Three Musketeers of Clinging to the Legs"—when it comes to clinging to the NPCs, the three of them claim to be number one, and no one dares to object.

"Objection" does not exist!

It's a hidden quest.

The other players' eyes lit up.

Judging from the police presence outside, this "dungeon" is no ordinary place, and the hidden quests inside must be incredibly challenging!

Hidden mission, YES!

A boss you can't beat? NO!

Without saying a word, Li Zhuying silently handed the bracelet to Zhou Jieyu, which displayed a conversation between An Ran and Zhou Jieyu.

hateful!

She should have messaged Anran first, but in her hesitation, Zhou Jieyu beat her to it.

After walking in from the corner and going down a few flights of stairs, you can already see the closed door from the side.

Tap, tap, tap...

Even though the voice was kept very low, the sound of light footsteps could still be heard in the narrow passageway.

"Shh-"

Zhou Jieyu quickly made a shushing gesture.

These players are all so young. They can't even hide the sound of their own footsteps, yet they dare to play stealth assassination games?

"Uh……"

Zhou Jieyu pointed to the door, then to herself, and finally to the doorknob.

You lot should take note!

Level 10 lock-picking skills: unlocking, repairing, and replacing lock cylinders!

Mm-hmm.

Everyone else nodded.

Someone told them that there were kidnappers inside.

Zhou Jieyu quietly walked to the door, and just as her hand was about to touch the lock, the bracelet suddenly vibrated.

Oh my god, this exposes us!

Zhou Jieyu was a little annoyed, but she stopped what she was doing after seeing that the message was from An Ran.

It was sent by Anran, so I'm not angry anymore.

The main problem is that she forgot to mute it.

"There are two people standing behind the door, waiting for you to open it, about 50 centimeters apart."

Uh……

Lin Yumo and Li Zhuying also received this news.

Was it discovered long ago?

In fact, the two people guarding Maggie had already noticed the first footsteps in the passageway.

They exchanged a glance and made a decision. One of them hid behind the door and sent a message to Anderson, while the other untied Maggie from the pillar and dragged the unconscious Maggie to the room where the crew was located.

"Liang Chu, I'm entrusting this woman to your care. Someone's coming from outside," he said to the cracker.

The codebreaker named Liang Chu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "How many people are there?"

“I don’t know,” the man shook his head, “but it sounds like there are quite a few.”

This……

Liang Chu's eyes flickered: "You have already..."

"I've already notified Boss Anderson."

That person interrupted Liang Chu.

"We don't have much time left." He tossed a gun to Liang Chu. "Tie this woman up. If she makes any sudden movements, shoot her."

Liang Chu took the gun, watched the man return to the door, and then his gaze fell on Maggie.

Maggie's long coat was somewhat disheveled, and there was a lot of blood on her lips and clothes. Her eyes were closed, and she was carelessly thrown on the ground. The ropes binding her body crossed at her chest, creating an arc that made Liang Chu swallow hard.

But he hadn't forgotten how strong this woman was when she was sober; in any case, he'd tie her to the pillar first.

Just as he was about to move Maggie, a sweet little girl's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Big brother, let me help you!"

Liang Chu turned around and saw the little girl next to An Ran.

He responded with an "Mm," thinking it would be good to have another person to help.

……

All right.

He mouthed something, and the man who had just come out of the crew room gripped his gun.

His companion grinned, both of them focused on the doorknob. The slightest movement would mean the person was outside, and then they could make their move.

Meanwhile, outside the door.

Zhou Jieyu took two steps back lightly, and several players who had learned stealth skills gathered near the entrance.

Fearing that she might injure the other people in the room or accidentally hit the crew inside, Lin Yumo was once again the one to take the lead.

The sword energy of Flowing Water Swordplay is gentle, and when it wraps around the soles of the feet, the movement it produces is less than that of stealth skills.

This is a little trick that Lin Yumo learned from An Ran.
