Poverty makes me capable of anything.

It's her, it's her, it's definitely her! Our little hero is safe and sound!

"..."

Fine.

All those observation and analytical skills are fake.

Eavesdropping is the real reason.

She really is a "foolish girl".

Since you're practically a free agent now, doesn't that mean...?

"So what do you want me to do for you?" An Ran asked with a kind smile.

"I'd like to stay here with you for a while, and I'll leave once the flights from Azure Forest back to Jade Bay resume." Cornelia seemed a little embarrassed, as if she had made an unreasonable request.

Jade Bay is the region within the Empire closest to the Azure Forest.

Due to the war, all flights between the two locations have been suspended.

"I will pay for the accommodation!"

"It's okay if you don't pay." An Ran waved her hand. The accommodation fee was nothing; she could repay it with her body later.

Upon hearing that Cornelia wanted to create her own studio, Anran's eyes lit up.

"By the way, what's your opinion on strangers?" Anran asked.

“Strangers?” Cornelia was a little surprised. “I don’t know much about them.”

"Although there aren't as many outsiders as people from deep space, most of them are actually quite willing to spend money..."

Enron began teaching Cornelia the bible of how strangers were rich and how to make money from them.

Cornelia was stunned by what she heard.

Then she cited her collaboration with Zhou Jieyu and others as an example to illustrate that making money from strangers is a promising business.

Finally, Anran asked Cornelia if she had any ideas about cooperating with them so that they could all "seize the rich and redistribute the land".

“This…” Cornelia hesitated, “I need to think about it some more.”

It's good that she didn't refuse. If Zhou Jieyu could brainwash her a bit more, that should be enough.

Anran was very satisfied with her plan.

Rather than Cornelia's 18 billion, we'd rather have her "person".

The earning power of "virtual idols" has been proven by countless examples.

As the "first virtual idol from [Night of the Stars] to be pushed to players by players", Cornelia herself has high quality and her charm reaches 8 points. As long as she doesn't make any crazy moves, she will definitely become popular.

The key to winning over players is to win over the future!

After arranging a place for Cornelia to stay, Anran went to see Machi.

Even without her combat suit, Machi's level remains 41, but her combat strength has been greatly reduced.

After reaching a higher level, Anran finally learned what Maqi's main profession was: Music Theory Teacher, which is a support-type mental profession.

No wonder his fighting ability is so weak; after being stripped of his clothes, he could only cower in a corner, trembling with fear.

"What, what are you going to do?" Maggie's eyes widened.

"I heard you cursed me all night yesterday." An Ran stared at Ma Qi with ill intent.

Maggie sneered, "Did you hear me?"

"No." An Ran shrugged.

"That settles it then; it's just your paranoia."

"Okay." An Ran nodded.

She placed a small device on the table in the room: "This recorder can repeat everything you say, and I just hope you're telling the truth."

Glancing at Machi, An Ran added, "Don't even think about it. It's a great shockproof and drop-proof thing. With your current strength, you can't do anything to it even if you smash your hand until it's swollen."

“You…” Maggie pointed at An Ran.

Good night.

After closing the door, Anran gave the bedroom directly to Maqi.

Killing them won't do any good, but keeping them might be able to be exchanged for something, so let's keep them for now.

As for sleeping, Anran doesn't plan to sleep for the next few days.

Having just acquired the technology for developing nanomaterials, An Ran was eager to conduct various experiments.

She was looking forward to what Night Owl and Harrison would do next, and also needed to digest the materials that the Other Shore Pirates had recently obtained.

Therefore, after communicating with Cornelia and Zhou Jieyu, Anran arranged for Cornelia to stay with Zhou Jieyu temporarily.

Living with a living, breathing "virtual idol" is a novel experience for Zhou Jieyu, Li Zhuying, and Lin Yumo, especially after hearing about An Ran's plan, Zhou Jieyu nodded her head rapidly.

"Leave it to me!"

A mere brainwashing task!

Ok.

Hopefully it works.

After settling Cornelia in, the Anran, under Ella's control, departed from Minglan Star and headed directly to the base of the Other Shore Pirates.

An Ran didn't simply leave after loading a ship full of raw ore and finished ore with Guan Xiupei.

One of the things pirates need most is weapons. So, I left them a bunch of Imperial infantry standard firearms, detectors, and other equipment, and only then did Anran embark on his long journey again.

This was a journey that spanned more than 3000 light-years, but only made one stopover.

After three days, An Ran finally arrived at her secret base, An Ran-α.

The factory that remained here has taken shape thanks to the hard work of the robots, with more than 200 robots of level 37 or 38 at most.

Don't worry.

Looking up at the dark sky, it was time for the transformation.

Nanoarmor far surpasses the current protection of robots in terms of performance.

Large-scale nanorobots also have great application prospects, but Enron doesn't have the money to buy the equipment, so this matter has to be put on hold.

The first robot with the new armor came out three hours later. Let the engineering robots learn a few more times, and then the work can be handed over to them, since it is not a troublesome manual or delicate task.

At this moment, An Ran also had time to pay attention to Night Owl's every move again.

In the immediate future, the battle between the Night Owl's main force and the Sixth Expeditionary Force, which are currently in closer proximity, is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon.

The group that caused trouble on Minglan Star seems to have been evading Fitch's pursuit. There are rumors that their target is another planet with a time energy tower. However, the guards waited for a day but did not see them. Instead, the governor's guards who went to provide support were suddenly attacked.

The situation unexpectedly tilted in Night Owl's favor.

Even though he knew that Night Owl's spies were working hard to infiltrate, Fitch never expected there would be so many traitors.

Is this world still the home of the Elimeria family?

Some traitors were executed, while others caused enormous destruction.

Frustrated at every turn, further provoked by the anonymous source, and with only four days left of the ten-day deadline, the Governor's Mansion was shrouded in gloom.

On her way back, Anran received a call from Nadia.

Attack on Eternal Hope City on Aquamarine Star.

"Let's do it!"

In order to obtain a large piece of aquamarine that Nadia had promised.

After weighing the options, Anran agreed to Nadia's request.

The reason why the Azure Forest is called the Azure Forest is because of the rare mineral Azure Crystal, a deep aquamarine gemstone that does not "produce" force fields, but instead neutralizes various force fields.

In other words, weapons made with aquamarine crystals, when there is enough of them, can control machines based on force fields!

This is something no mechanic can resist!

"Hmm, I have over two hundred level 41 robots, two Cataclysmic Fire Rain Bombs, and I can also call up a bunch of players to lead the charge. My trump cards are actually..."

and many more.

An Ran, who had been muttering to herself, suddenly widened her eyes because she saw the calendar.

10 month 28 day.

Three days later is October 31st.

After this, the game will be shut down.

All the players have logged off, or gone to the entertainment area to watch the official matches.

I was completely dumbfounded.

Although there is still a little bit of free time, does that mean that the players will disappear after playing for a while?

What is this ghost?

The raid on Aquamarine Star was a major event that occurred while the player was still in the game. Why can't the player experience this part of the story?

Normally, this wouldn't be designed like this.

An Ran was unaware that it was her small whirlwind that brought forward the event that was supposed to take place after the server reopened.

The Zerg wouldn't have died so quickly otherwise.

Shrugging.

Chapter 61 This may be the longest day

Players who participate will generally receive some benefits.

When fighting bosses, as long as you have contribution points, you can get some rewards in the end. If they are fierce enough, they might even knock down Governor Fitch before logging off.

That's truly something to celebrate.
