Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Use your superb ventriloquism skills to persuade Qingling!

……

Meanwhile, Liangyue's reinforcements also discovered the devastation on the asteroid.

Clap!

The leader of Liangyue's guild angrily smashed everything on the table.

"Sister!" he roared, "I will make those bitches from Wangchuan pay the price!"

"But boss, if those bitches keep hiding in Kako and don't come out, it'll be very difficult for us..."

“They can’t stay hidden forever. Now that they’ve taken the Mainstone Mine, they’ll definitely send someone to make contact with the Mechanical Church. Let’s start with that person! Investigate, find out where they’ll be making contact with the Mechanical Church!”

"Yes, boss!"

……

"call--"

Old Gao, standing once again on the land of Crete, breathed a sigh of relief; he had survived a catastrophe.

This freedom of breathing made him feel the happiness of being alive.

The Mannite ore he harvested this time was enough to pay for his entry into the Star Barrier.

Before meeting with the people from the Mechanicus, let's go see Old Chen's cousin first. We can't keep the bad news to ourselves; we have to tell her.

He strode down the street, but before he had gone far, he suddenly heard news about the bandit-suppressing army.

"Colonel Vesa is going to send troops to wipe out the pirates on the northern border in two days?"

"I heard that this preparation has been going on for a long time. The star map is very detailed, and many people familiar with the northern routes have been recruited."

"..."

Chapter 07 Qingling

It would be so convenient to put Ella into the subspace. Unfortunately, Anran hasn't seen any online game that allows NPCs to be put into the inventory yet. Maybe she's just ignorant.

If we broaden the scope a bit, in the game "Portal Knights" that she used to play, you could put some NPCs in your inventory, such as carrying a merchant with you. When you want to sell something, you can release him and put him back in.

"Anran, Anran, I'll go with you." Ella hadn't been by Anran's side for several days, and she missed her a little.

"Let's go together then."

Qingling is level 56, which is higher than Anran, but if they really fight, she might not be able to beat Anran in her current state with those two magical "wrench" abilities.

Moreover, An Ran knows her inside and out, so there's nothing for her to be afraid of.

With Ella around, there's no such thing as being imprisoned in a metal building.

You can eat up even the biggest prison cell, and you can turn a good ship into a wrecked one.

Look, the "brass" metal that Fitch used to divide has now completely turned into Ayla's "experience". After consuming it, Ayla is already level 48.

"Stay in the spaceship and don't make a fuss. I'll lock the spaceship door. You can eat as many snacks as you want when you're free. If you behave, I'll bring you even more delicious food when I come back," An Ran told An Qianqian before leaving.

An Qianqian nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Sister Anran, I'm the best behaved. I'm much better behaved than Ella, who bullies people all the time."

"..."

I believed your lies.

It's only because Ella isn't here that An Qianqian dares to secretly tattle in this way.

This is what a child should be like, unlike Ella, who looks like a child but is actually very thoughtful and only shows a little childishness on rare occasions.

A truly legal loli.

An Qianqian is a true loli.

wow——

The spaceship's door closed.

……

The Flower in Full Bloom flew very fast, but after approaching the Cacoli Reef, it had to slow down and proceed cautiously due to the complex deep-space environment.

"Is this your daughter?" Aurora stared at Ella.

"..."

An Ran's smile vanished instantly: "Do I look that old?"

That's my younger sister.

"Ha ha……"

You're just trying to stir up my emotions, aren't you?

Once I regain my identity, I'll definitely let you know why the flowers are so red.

Not receiving a direct response, Aurora did not continue speaking.

Ella's appearance made her feel uneasy. If An Ran's identity was really as they guessed, why would she have a child with her?

Can't figure it out.

After that, Aurora never spoke to Anran again, and the Flower Cluster helped Anran unlock new maps as it continued its journey.

After traveling through the asteroid belt for more than two hours, the spacecraft finally came to a stop on a dwarf planet.

The Cacoli Reef covers a vast area; some of the outermost asteroids have even frozen the scattered methane in their atmospheres, and the temperature remains tens of degrees below zero when they reach their destination, the dwarf planet.

Including the Flower in Full Bloom, there were a total of 7 spacecraft parked on the ground.

There were no other spaceships in sight, which suggested they were very wary; this was probably not where the Wangchuan pirate group was hiding.

"One spaceship costs ten million, but if you can repair them all, the commander said he'll transfer one hundred million to you directly."

This is a business worth hundreds of millions!

Even after getting $37 billion from Fitch, Enron was still short of money, as the cost of building a Starship was simply too high.

"Move the materials directly onto the spacecraft, and I'm ready to start work now."

Aurora asked, "Aren't you going to take a rest?"

"No need," An Ran shook her head.

You can rest, but there's no need to.

Quickly deal with these women, then go and complete the handover of the mission with the Mechanical Church. Once the Liangyue Pirate Gang is eliminated, she should be able to level up again.

The power units of all six spacecraft suffered varying degrees of damage, and repairs will be somewhat troublesome.

Heloise crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, watching quietly.

An Ran moved nimbly, constantly switching between various devices, while Ella assisted her from the side.

Don't throw away the broken parts after disassembly, because they are all made of high-quality materials. Wash them thoroughly and you can give them to Ella as snacks.

"You're so skilled; it seems you've done this kind of work quite a bit before."

A familiar voice suddenly came from the doorway of the crew cabin.

She said she was familiar with the person because she had heard it several times on the listening device. Even without looking up, she knew that the person who suddenly appeared was Qingling, the leader of Wangchuan.

"It's alright, there aren't many differences in the structure of spaceships of this level." An Ran didn't turn around.

Although Heloise still appeared languid, her body was actually as taut as a bowstring.

She could clearly sense that the woman who had suddenly appeared possessed an aura that she couldn't afford to offend, but even if she couldn't afford to offend her, if the woman wanted to do something bad to An Ran, Heloise would not hesitate to take action.

"Don't be so nervous." Qingling shrugged. She was dressed very lightly, and there was nothing in her open palm. "I didn't mean any harm."

"..."

Click.

An Ran turned around only after stuffing a relay module into the card slot.

"I'm just curious." Qingling walked over, having already rehearsed her answer many times.

How should she test An Ran? What responses might An Ran make when answering her questions? If An Ran says A, how should she proceed? If An Ran says B, how should she proceed?

"With your skills, you're a mechanic. Why do you have to come to us? Even if you just open a small shop, your business will definitely be good."

What would she say?

"I don't know if you've seen the Empire's newly released arrest warrants recently."

"what?"

Qingling was taken aback. Was this a tactic of turning the tables and seizing control of the conversation?

"Haven't seen it?"

Qingling nodded.

This was a bit beyond her expectations. "Then you might need to take a good look, especially at the news released on November 3rd. Dig deeper into that news. I need to hurry up and fix the spaceship first." After saying that, An Ran ignored Qing Ling.

"Wait……"

Qingling's outstretched hand hung in mid-air.

That's ridiculous.

All her plans were in vain; the other side simply didn't follow her ideas.

"Go ahead and look," Qingling pulled up the information about the Empire's bounty list and found the update on November 3rd, when the Empire released multiple bounty notices.

Looking from top to bottom, the first thing you see is a bounty of 60 billion peals on Malfur, a bandit on the western border of the Empire.

From the second line onwards, everything is related to night owls.

2. The leader of the bounty on the night owl, N: Governor of a second-level administrative district.

In the Empire, regions such as the Naglia Borderlands and the Azure Forest are first-level administrative regions, headed by governors, while the second-level administrative regions are governed by governors.

The Empire has achieved some success in offering bounties to leaders of opposition groups. There was a resistance group that was about to become a force to be reckoned with, but its leader was assassinated at a victory celebration banquet, his head blown off by a single bullet.

The resistance organization, which had been thriving under the leadership of its heroic leader, was soon crushed and wiped out by the expeditionary force.
