Poverty makes me capable of anything.

[Perhaps this is what NPCs are like; their physical flexibility is also incredible.]

That would mean...

[Don't bother watching, you won't learn anything even if you do.]

【An Ran, ペロペロ】

boom.

The commander, shaken so badly, slammed his fist on the table again. Damn it, his guess was right.

"Where are the sniper team and the demolition team? It's been almost three minutes! Get them going!" the commander shouted angrily.

"Sir, it's not that we don't want to shoot, but she never stays in the same spot for more than two seconds, so we have no way to aim."

"If you can't aim, then fire acid bombs or incendiary bombs! Can't you use your brains? Are you all pigs?"

Bang bang bang!

His hands were red from firing the hammer three times in a row, but the commander seemed oblivious.

Everyone else in the command room fell silent, terrified that they might ignite the powder keg that was their commander.

Several people winked at the sniper squad leader, signaling him to quickly agree and stop talking nonsense.

The squad leader wanted to mutter a few more words, but seeing the persuasive look in his eyes, he immediately swallowed his words.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Your mother's head!

At that speed, the opponent could leave the mech at any time, jumping dozens or even hundreds of meters in a single leap. Once the repulsive field loses its effect, there's no point in struggling anymore.

You were laughing just now, how could you?

Ha ha!

Snapped.

The half-body model of the squad leader disappeared into the control room.

The commander remained silent.

Being fast really does allow you to do whatever you want.

He knew he had made a mistake.

But the mistake wasn't in underestimating An Ran, because after some consideration, he realized that even if he gave her enough attention, he couldn't come up with any effective solutions.

Groin grab?

Beat yourself up?

What use is it, anyway?

His mistake was laughing!

A smile can lead to eternal regret.

A smile, and all his authority vanishes.

The commander straightened his serious expression: "In order to avoid..."

Just as he opened his mouth, a loud boom followed, and there was another violent shaking.

This time, however, the shaking was more intense than ever before, and people standing in the control room were almost knocked to the ground.

The pilot said in a panic, "Sir, something bad has happened! The mech has tilted several degrees after the explosion."

I……

"Quickly, quickly restore it to normal, this broken mech won't go off!" the commander shouted.

Damn, if it tilted any more, it would have really crashed.

No matter how elegant or magnanimous you are, none of that matters when it comes to your life.

The others in the control room lost all interest in looking down on the commander and immediately became action-oriented, efficiently controlling the mechs to restore them to their original state.

Sizzle sizzle—

The strange noise came from underground.

Just as An Ran was about to step onto the mecha's thighs and move towards its heels, she looked up and saw that the several attachments on the mecha's legs were rising again, and the waving arms, after once again dispersing the suicide squad, quickly fell down.

Combine, decompose!

It can't hold on any longer!

How could I let you restore it to its original state so easily!

Without caring about saving resources, An Ran took out most of the bombs in one go, wrapped them securely around the mech's lower legs, and then fixed them with ropes.

The repulsive field caused the rope to sway continuously, and it looked like the entangled bomb was about to fall, but An Ran had already pressed the detonation button.

While the Night Owls and the players were still wondering why the mechs had stopped attacking, a deafening roar suddenly extinguished the color of this noisy world. Then, as if an earthquake had struck, the violent tremors caused many already shattered houses to collapse.

"Ah, help!"

Just as she rolled over, another boulder fell down. Zhou Jieyu was so frightened that she scrambled to her feet, but luckily Lin Yumo was right beside her and pulled her out from under the boulder at the last second.

But the other players weren't so lucky.

Some were killed by falling rocks, some were shot through while chatting with their girlfriends, and one streamer was trapped in a suddenly opened crack in the ground while chatting with his viewers.

The live stream went dark, and five seconds later it transformed into the appearance of a resurrection fountain.

【…】

"You killed player XXX and gained 9 free experience points."

"You killed the Night Owl Warrior and gained 4.2 Free Experience."

"You killed the Governor's Mansion guards and gained 2.7 free experience points."

"..."

The darkness became An Ran's accomplice.

After a series of notifications, Anran discovered that she had instantly gained 231 million experience points, with the players and Night Owls contributing the most.

This……

With a smirk, An Ran climbed out of the pit made of stones.

No problem, everyone's probably focused on this massive, collapsed mech right now!

buzzing-

Indeed, that was the case. The commander reacted very quickly, so part of the mech's upper body had already landed back on the spot. However, the remaining half, which hadn't had time to regain its support, lost a leg, and the remaining half of the mech immediately plunged into the pit with overwhelming force.

The height above the ground was more than 20 meters. Although it was not as spectacular as the collapse of a skyscraper, the shock caused when it hit the ground was no less than the explosion just now.

boom!

The flying debris traveled faster than the projectiles fired from the railgun, riddling everyone within its range with holes.

Fortunately, the previous attack had scared away the surviving players and Night Owl soldiers. This round of prompts 90% of the time, they mentioned the Governor's Mansion Guards, 101 people, with a reward of 196 million experience points.

Oh, and there's also a high-ranking official from the Governor's Office listed in the "Flood" mission series.

The kill reward is 250 million experience points.

Perhaps this was fate. In the end, he died in the collapsing, strange current, and was thrown onto a sharp metal object in the rolling waves.

"Bomb the hell out of him!"

The countermeasures room, watching from inside the spaceship, cheered with joy.

They thought the suicide squad had achieved a partial success.

Seize the opportunity to kick a man when he's down!

Eliminate Fitch in one fell swoop and avenge our fallen brothers!

The shelling resumed.

slip away.

Before she could even take stock of her spoils, An Ran darted out of the pit in a few quick movements. With the repulsive field gone, the flight function of her combat suit was working again.

She returned to Ella's side with lightning speed.

The remaining buildings of the Governor's Mansion were still fiercely battling against the Night Owl's warships. The sky, which had been rendered blood red by the natural disaster fire rain bombs, had returned to normal, and in the night, the colorful lights concealed danger.

Although the frequency of naval gunfire decreased, it was still more devastating than during the day.

If this continues, the Governor's Office will soon be unable to hold on.

Maybe it will be an hour, maybe it will be half an hour.

There are less than 5 hours left before the game maintenance.

drop.

They reconnected with Harrison.

"Where are you now?" Anran asked.

It can't end so simply.

This is an A-level mission, or even an S-level mission at its highest. With the current intensity, it's only around a B-level mission, so there's definitely still a chance for a reversal.

An Ran still remembered the contents of the mission "Heart of the Azure Sea," which mentioned a key piece of information: body swapping.

The difference in mission rewards before and after Fitch's transformation is enormous, and perhaps the key to the S-rank mission lies in this "transformation".

We must find Fitch, who has been missing, as soon as possible, no matter what.

……

Just as Anran was about to meet Harrison, the atmosphere in the countermeasures room suddenly changed again.

"Sir, the reserve ships at the rear have spotted enemy forces coming from the direction of Minglan Star."

How many spaceships are there?

"Four standard frigates."
