Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Heloise was already standing next to Anran just one minute after the call ended.

"Let's get ready to slip away, or we won't be able to escape once the Liangyue Pirates' reinforcements arrive." An Ran quickly stopped Aurora and the captain from being too excited.

It was so comfortable that I acted so out of line.

Previously, they were blocked on Kakoli Reef by a "small" pirate group like Liangyue and dared not come out. Even the captain was scolded by them countless times. Everyone in Wangchuan was holding back their anger.

The "Flowering Splendor" ship descended from the sky.

"Uh, right." Aurora stopped and walked up to Anran.

"Can't we just fly up directly? Wouldn't it be a waste of time to bring the spaceship down?"

"Of course it's to make money, are you stupid?" An Ran gave her a look that said, "You don't understand."

"make money?"

"With the Liangyue Pirates causing trouble, many people are now unable to return, which is a good opportunity to make some money."

"..."

“That makes sense.” The captain nodded.

They were pirates, not philanthropists; it was already a miracle they didn't rob all of them.

An Ran immediately took out a loudspeaker.

"We're about to leave. If anyone doesn't have a spaceship to go back, we can give you a ride. It will only cost you a small price."

. . .

A small price to pay?

It's unlikely that anyone will believe Enron's words.

Anran's words are those of a liar.

But some people were helpless. Their spaceship had been destroyed by the Liangyue Pirates. What could they do?

Fortunately, after many people died, everyone gained something, more or less, and thus had the money to redeem themselves.

"You collected quite a lot."

After counting the bag handed to her by Heloise, Anran found that she had acquired another Mannite ore the size of a basketball.

She took out the sign that had been given to her for the task, thought for a moment, and then put it back on the table.

Leave a little bit.

After scraping a third off the "basketball" and throwing it into subspace, An Ran finally put the sign on.

"With the advanced knowledge of a senior mechanic, I don't have to worry about reaching level 100 anymore. I can focus on doing tasks and gaining experience now." An Ran was very satisfied with the gains from this trip.

Sometimes, people should go out and explore more; you might just "pick up" a lot of good things along the way.

"Ding Ding-"

The doorbell rang.

"Come in."

After saying that, Aurora pushed open the door and came in.

"You haven't rested yet?"

"No, is there anything I can help you with?"

"There's something I want to remind you of," Aurora said, carefully choosing her words.

remind?

"what's up."

“After we get off the spaceship, I think you'd better not hand over your mission at the Star Hunter Guild on Mina Star. There are spies from the Liangyue Pirate Gang there, and it would be very dangerous if they discovered you. The Liangyue Pirate Gang operates in the southwest of the Northern Territory. They have spies on Mina Star, Dalete Star, as well as Ai'ao Star and Feishan Star. Although they might have people further away, their reach isn't that far,” Aurora said.

“Actually, I think this is also an opportunity.” An Ran put the bag into the subspace.

"?"

An Ran asked, "If all the spaceships are functioning normally, how does your strength compare to that of the Liangyue Pirate Crew?"

Aurora thought for a moment: "We should be much stronger. Although we only have 17 ships left now, we have 7 ships of the same class as the Flower Blossom, which is far superior to Liangyue."

“Then there’s no problem.” An Ran gestured to Aurora that she didn’t need to stand. “The Liangyue Pirates will be furious once they discover the corpses and spaceship wreckage on the asteroid. If they find out that we still dare to be in their territory, they will definitely come over. At that time, all you need to do is pilot the repaired spaceship and launch a sneak attack from behind.”

"..."

This sounds very feasible!

"So you're saying you're willing to help us fix the spaceship?"

“I’ll do it as long as you pay me,” An Ran responded directly.

"Okay! I'll go tell the leader right away. I'm going to be the bait! This time, we're going to smash Liangyue and her gang's heads in!" Aurora excitedly stood up again.

If you can't wait, then don't wait any longer.

"Excuse me, I'll be leaving for a moment."

"Ah."

Aurora walked out of Anran's room.

First, contact the captain. This time, we must cripple the Liangyue Pirate Crew!

Her finger dragged across the virtual interface that popped up on the bracelet. She was about to tap the word "Team Leader" when she saw it, but she stopped just before her finger touched it.

She remembered something.

Something's not right, something's very wrong.

Everything went too smoothly.

They had always had a very unlucky life, but everything changed after "Quiet" appeared.

In just two or three days, they saw the potential to crush the Liangyue Pirates and become the only force to be reckoned with in the southwestern part of the Northern Territory.

It was precisely because things were going too smoothly that she felt something was wrong.

The key lies in "quietness".

Even now, she still doesn't know why "Quiet" issued the task of finding them.

If this reason is not understood, then everything becomes highly suspicious.

If "Quiet" is actually one of Liangyue's people, it's terrifying to think about. Wait, no, she didn't hesitate to kill Liangyue's important figures, including the sister of the Liangyue pirate captain. So it can't be... no, if it's just an act, if those people's identities are all fake, the more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes. This scheme is too deep. If they follow "Quiet's" advice, they will definitely be surrounded and killed by Liangyue.

Wait, that's still not right.

Aurora found another flaw. How could a pirate crew of Liangyue's size have so many people willing to sacrifice their lives for their captain's scheme? If it were the old Higanbana, there would definitely be no problem, but Liangyue...

She shook her head, disbelieving.

However, she then thought of An Ran's initiative to step forward.

What if it was just a staged killing?

"Commander, Commander..." Aurora said tremblingly to Commander Qingling.

"What's wrong now? You look terrible."

Aurora glanced back, then continued walking straight to the front of the spaceship: "I have a bad feeling..."

She poured out all her doubts at once.

Qingling frowned: "Based on the information you sent back before, rather than saying she is a member of the Liangyue Pirate Gang, I am more inclined to guess that she is an agent sent by Vesa."

"The lackeys of the Imperial dogs?" Aurora roared in fury.

When hunting down the princess, the Imperial dogs contributed the most, followed by the Covenant pigs!

If she really is from the Empire, then she's so angry she wants to eat people alive!

“We and the Liangyue Pirates are both on the edge of the Northern Territory. If one actor can drive our two families to fight to the death, that’s something Visa would be very happy to see. If my guess is true, then this person is too terrifying. He’s been silent for so long, and we have no idea how many hidden agents he has arranged.” Qingling’s expression was very serious.

They usually curse the Empire as dogs, the Star Alliance as pigs, and the Republic as worse than pigs and dogs, but they have to admit that these three major powers are very strong, so strong that they can't even muster the idea of ​​successfully avenging the princess.

"Commander, what should we do now?"

“This is just my guess. It’s hard to say whether it’s true or not. Maybe she really wants to help us take down the Liangyue Pirate Gang because she has a grudge against them… There are too many possibilities.” Qingling paused. “If we were in the open before, now that we’ve moved into the shadows, there are many more things we can do.”

Qingling instinctively reached for her hands in her pockets, but accidentally poked her stomach with her fingernails.

"..."

I forgot I was wearing a crop top today.

It's not a big problem; his expression didn't change.

It's the fifth year since the princess left; stay strong!

“Aurora, listen to me. No matter where she’s from, bring her to Kakoli under the pretense of repairing the spaceship. Also, we need to do our own investigation. If Liangyue isn’t faking it, even if she’s working for the Empire, we’ll take them down this time. We don’t have much time left. We need to contact those people on Free Coast first. It’s too difficult for us to find clues about the princess on our own.”

"Yes!" Aurora nodded vigorously. "Captain, I won't let you down!"

Contact ended.

Aurora was still unaware that she was being monitored by Anran.

You guys have such wild imaginations!

An Ran was speechless.

After that, nothing noteworthy happened on the Flower Garden, and they arrived at Mina Star at dawn.

"Let's fix the spaceship first before we talk about anything else."

“Mm.” Aurora nodded.

Repairing a ship requires at least 50 experience points. There are a total of 6 ships, and you can earn a lot of money from it.

"Anran, is it okay to just go like this?" Heloise suddenly reminded her.

“No problem.” An Ran waved her hand.

She really didn't have any bad intentions this time, and she also knew what Qingling and the others were planning, so there wasn't much of a problem.

The key is that Anran has a final "trump card"—self-destruction.
