Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Let's see. Maybe she can't even get past this muscleman."

"Didn't someone say that VinceV has placed in the top three in many competitions before? To encounter such a strong opponent in the first round of the knockout stage, my sister's luck is a bit bad. Even if she loses..."

"Alright, I won't say anything more, but..." Li Zhuying stared intently at Lin Yumo, "You should have more confidence in yourself. You've been training with An Ran for quite a while now, and you even have the combat suit you got from An Ran. Even some elite monsters of the same level are no match for you. You're definitely stronger than your sister."

"..."

Is that so?

Lin Yumo looked at the competition field.

Unlike the qualifiers, the knockout stage is held in a larger and more rugged area, and the terrain is said to be different for each match.

Therefore, this competition is not just about pure skill, but also involves the use of terrain and a bit of luck.

If a player accidentally ends up randomly by the river, they'll hit the jackpot.

Overall, this was a closely contested match.

Although VinceV was once very famous, his opponent [Yushang] was no novice either.

She consistently ranks high on the Azure Forest level leaderboard and occasionally makes an appearance in the arena. In the eyes of some players who have interacted with her, she is a crucial asset in ensuring mission completion.

The match has begun.

VinceV launched the first attack, employing his signature move: a takedown followed by a muscle choke.

[Such a fast punch, completely invisible. No wonder he's called the number one puncher in the West.]

The gauntlets he was wearing were supposedly a reward from a hidden quest; they were more than capable of taking on Yu Chang's sword head-on.

[Graceful as a startled swan, lithe as a swimming dragon.]

【Huh? Who are you talking about?】

[You're obviously talking about a girl, you idiot.]

boom!

VinceV's fist instantly conjured dozens of afterimages, completely filling Lin Yushang's field of vision.

The mountains, rocks, flowing water, green trees, and shrubs were all occupied by fist shadows, and the air was filled with loud shouts like "Hey ha ha hey".

It is clearly unwise to try to wear down someone who is stronger.

It seems VinceV has gained the upper hand.

That's hard to say; things could turn around in the next second.

[How is this possible? How can it be flipped? If it flips, I'll soak it in sulfuric acid... Holy crap, is the competition over?]

A flash of sword light, like a white rainbow, pierced through the intertwined figures of the two.

The battle ended in less than five seconds.

Lin Yushang was seriously injured, but VinceV had already collapsed.

Even with similar stamina, being pierced by a sword results in a worse condition.

"Cough cough..."

If this were a real battle, Lin Yushang would fall down very quickly in her current state. But this is a game, and her opponent's health has been depleted. Even if she only has one drop of health left, she will still win.

Didn't someone just say they wanted to soak the dioio in sulfuric acid?

[Really? I want to clarify that the hair fell out after being soaked in sulfuric acid.]

【Hehe...】*I don't know how much.

"I still can't compare to him..."

"It's okay, just stick with An Ran, and you'll easily surpass your sister in level." Li Zhuying patted Lin Yumo's shoulder reassuringly.

I really appreciate your trust.

Anran, who had wrapped herself up like a rice dumpling, logged off.

……

The players are ruthless, much more ruthless than she is.

Therefore, we must firmly follow the path of eliminating wolves, and we must still take advantage of players as they see fit.

In addition, you need to completely crush them in terms of level.

This is the self-cultivation a boss should have.

The asteroid's terrain is very hard, with the entire area appearing as permafrost. Fortunately, the terrain is not complicated, so finding the purple mannequin mine won't be so hopeless.

Finding a needle in a haystack is difficult enough; finding a stone in the stars is even more outrageous.

Anran had already input relevant feature search instructions into the robots and drones, and with the existence of the map system, conducting a comprehensive search was not a problem for Anran.

Aurora and the captain couldn't quite understand whether her "perfunctory" search was really for a mission.

Could it be that they're planning to lure them here to be killed?

But thinking about it, it seems impossible, since they have spaceships.

“Even robots can miss things,” Aurora said.

"No problem, it all comes down to luck now."

Depends on luck?

Aurora smirked. "So you really do have a deep understanding of this mission."

……

Braving the extreme cold, after searching for more than four hours on the monotonous frozen ground, Anran still found nothing.

Given their pace and the size of the asteroid, they had practically traversed a quarter of the asteroid's northern hemisphere, yet they hadn't found a single useful mineral on the surface.

They looked as if continuing to search like this would still yield nothing.

Fortunately, luck is sometimes conserved.

Somewhere on the star map, several adventurers simultaneously discovered a large amount of Mannite ore.

Since everyone is a stranger, if greed arises and the spoils are not divided equally, then no one will get anything.

So some people simply posted their coordinates on the task platform, along with a short video.

Come on, whoever has the ability can have these.

"Fuck you!"

"Come on over if you dare!" The person who sent the message chuckled coldly.

Do you think I'm afraid of you causing trouble?

"If you dare to come over, even if you manage to kill me, you won't fare any better. You'll end up with nothing."

"..."

Damn bitch!

The hand holding the gun trembled slightly.

There are just too many shameless people these days.

"Don't think that just because there are more of you you can get more. Since you don't agree to the 50/50 proposal, then nobody gets anything. From now on, it's up to each of you to prove your abilities!"

"Damn it!"

……

"Hurry up."

Once the coordinates were locked, Anran grabbed Heloise and Aurora and rushed towards the spaceship.

If you arrive too late, there might be nothing left.

With the amount of Mannekenite ore there, it's more than enough to exchange for advanced mechanic training materials.

swoosh~

The spaceship re-entered the sea of ​​stars.

The journey itself is not far; what is far is the anxious heart.

If you go too late, you don't know how long it will take to find news of the Mannstone mine again.

It was an hour later when she arrived at her destination.

The spaceship hovered in mid-air over a remote area. After opening the hatch, An Ran grabbed Aurora and jumped out.

Since the captain is taller, the task can only be given to Heloise, who is also tall.

Anran flew very fast, and Aurora cooperated by not moving around in her arms.

From a distance, you can see a group of people standing in a standoff on the ground, but this place is still some distance from the location marked in the video.

"You know those two people, right?" Aurora suddenly asked.

Ok?

An Ran stopped in mid-air and looked down. The stark contrast between the tall and short figures was striking, even in a crowd.

"Give me half, and I can help you drive them away."

Old Gao and the short man were surprisingly the center of attention in the crowd.

The short man, carrying a large bag, looked at the speaker with a conflicted expression, then at another group of people staring intently at the bag in his arms.

This is a tense trilateral meeting.

The situation is currently stable.

"Old Gao, how about we split it in half..."

"Don't speak."

Old Gao stepped forward and blocked the short man's path.

As expected, luck wouldn't always be on their side.

He now understood why no one had taken the Mannite ore that was lying on the ground when he went to the mine earlier.
