Poverty makes me capable of anything.

The most practical benefits are equipment, items, and experience points. If she establishes a powerful force, the advantages of invisibility will be enough to lure players in.

"I've just arrived on Nayi Star and there are some things I'm not familiar with yet. I'd like to ask where I should go to purchase industrial raw materials?"

"The situation on Nayi Star is quite complicated. It's basically impossible to make a large-scale purchase. If you only plan to buy a few things, you can just go to the nearby black market."

An Ran nodded: "I didn't see any pirates on my way to Nayi Star. I heard that many pirates in the Northern Territory have temporarily formed a pirate confederation. Do you know the specifics?"

“Well…” La Yishou scratched his head. “I don’t know much about it either, but I’ve come across this in previous missions. The Pirate Federation’s headquarters is located in Baplo next door. It was originally founded by five pirate crews: Eclipse, Skydrive, Shadowfall, Boswell, and Golden Horned Deer. These five are all top-ten pirate crews, and the federation they jointly established is quite prestigious. It’s said that there are now 19 pirate crews that have joined, with a total of more than 600 ships.”

I have more quantity than Visa, but the quality... let's not talk about it. Let's talk about something else that's happier: I have more quantity than you!

"The Pirate Federation has elected a temporary decision-making group, but I'm not entirely clear on the specifics. However, they have already issued targeted assassination bounties on the Assassin's Ladder targeting the Nagria government's Pirate Countermeasures Department."

In other words, there hasn't actually been any concrete action yet.

That was all the information that Li Yibao knew. After receiving the experience reward, he turned and left.

"Let's go, Berserker Number One!"

The muscular robot picked up La Yiku's legs and placed them on its shoulders. Then, under La Yiku's command, it started to speed up, completely ignoring the envious and jealous expressions of the onlookers, and began to charge fiercely.

The couple finally disappeared into a corner of the square.

Some players were left with the comment: "Damn, I'm angry, but I'm also super envious."

"I want to see him fall down and break three legs."

"Damn it, it's so fast! It's unbearable!"

"I wish I had money."

"Actually, I still have one more question to ask." An Ran stared in astonishment at the edge of the empty square.

In that case, let's give this opportunity to the player who spent the second most money.

Where is the Assassin's Ladder?

"Do those five pirate crews have any partners on Planet Nayi?"

15 experience points were still given out.

After issuing two tasks in a row, the remaining players figured out the formula.

Spending money to buy things = happiness + favorability.

Affection level increase = hidden quest + maybe hidden storyline?

"But I don't have that much money."

"I wish I were rich! Damn it!"

"You've said it several times already."

"That's why I deliberately added the word 'despicable'."

"..."

Even if you don't participate in the main events on the world map, there's plenty of story to explore on each planet. Just like in the Azure Forest, key characters Harrison and Fitch from the main storyline died, but that didn't stop other players from leveling up. Many people didn't even know they were the "protagonists" of the story; after all, they died early, so how could they be "protagonists"? Later, a temporary governor was added, and that's probably the real protagonist of the Empire's side of the story.

That's certainly true, because Night of the Stars isn't a static game; it's a breathing world. Even if one storyline is cut short, countless others can be added to fill the gaps. The feud between Harrison and Fitch is gone, but the battle between Night Owl and the Empire remains.

Players who delve into the storyline will observe every seemingly abrupt detail very carefully.

The "Three Leg-Holding Heroes" are now representative figures in the forum who profit from digging up plot points.

An Ran's appearance quickly attracted the attention of some plot-hunting experts.

There are casual (cultivation) players like "Langligelang" and "Wanbanjiezhonger," and dedicated excavators belonging to a certain guild like "Of course I forgive her" and "QWER."

They're evenly matched.

Each person occupied a favorable position and began to watch.

The only thing that cost money was Langligelang, who commissioned Anran to customize a rifle with intricate wave patterns engraved on its handle.

"High level, dangerous strength rating, revealed that he just arrived on Nayi Star, is interested in the Pirate Alliance and the Assassin's Ladder, his main profession should be a mechanic, he only took less than a minute to carve the complicated pattern I specially made, the key to raising favorability is money, he has a hidden quest, his accent is similar to the southern region of Nagria, so he should be a local." Langligelang quickly got the data in his mind.

Unfortunately, he was unaware that Anran had a language system.

Language can be translated; if all else fails, just spend a couple of skill points to fix it.

Anran earned over 2000 million pesos in just half a day of operation, with several major clients contributing half of that. The amount will likely decrease in the future, but it will still provide a stable and substantial daily income.

In addition, the diligent crew members 1 through 20 who remained on Deep Space worked tirelessly, allowing Anran, who could share in the experience, to earn more than 20 experience points. It may not seem like much, but once a large-scale base is built, this number will be considerable, and the key is to make it a steady and long-term investment.

Around noon, An Ran suddenly discovered a post on Nayixing's forum about stealing business.

"Customized mechanical equipment and props appearance – you deserve it! Located on the southern slope of Mount Naysinbenton, our newly opened shop, [Customization], welcomes you."

"..."

MMP.

Anran recognized the name of the player who posted the message; they were in the square across the street.

You actually stole my techniques! Shameless! You have such a thick skin!

And these people are actually not afraid of the authorities causing them trouble; they're really brave.

……

In the afternoon, after temporarily entrusting the shop to Heloise, Anran set off for Benton Mountain.

What if competitors emerge?

"Of course, we should find a way to get other players to smash up our competitors' stores, using them as a tool to kill someone!"

Benton Hill is not far from the square; it only takes a short drive to get there safely.

In fact, there are not many large-scale cities on Nayixing to begin with.

【Personalized Customization】It's easy to find. There aren't many buildings on the south side of the mountain, so a red sign makes it stand out.

At this time, a few players were scattered around the store entrance. Most of them had come after reading the post about the "large-scale pig breeding farmer". Their numbers were not large.

【Personalized Customization】Priced with clear pricing, half the price of Enron's.

Bah! How dare you go against me!

"Should we just rush in and smash the store?"

This is not good.

"Since we're going to check out the Assassin's Ladder anyway, should we hire someone to take care of them?"

That's such a waste of money.

"I'll just do it myself. I'll hide in the distance and snipe them. As long as I hide well enough, the players won't be able to find me."

Although there are certain risks involved, there's nothing we can do about it.

An Ran had already prepared all the tools for the crime.

However, the terrain here is open during the day and not suitable for taking action, so Anran decided to come back at night.

And so, she drove back.

On the way back, it started to rain, something that hadn't happened in a long time.

Look, even the official team is hinting to me to wipe out all these players who are stealing their profits, leave no one alive!

If you keep being cheeky, I'll find a way to ban your accounts!

The meaning of players selling "skins" and NPCs selling "skins" is different.

After all, NPCs and the official team are in cahoots.

"Give me a colorful skin effect."

The first player to try something new stepped forward.

"I'll charge you 1000 pesos, but since you're the first customer, I'll give you a 20% discount."

The large-scale pig farmer happily accepted the gun. All the materials and props were ready. He could already see a bright future ahead!

And so the afternoon passed, and the large-scale pig farmer and his partners earned a total of more than 10,000 pesos.

"Although it's not much, it's made a name for itself, and there will be more and more in the future."

"I think we'll be able to recoup the cost of these devices in just a few weeks, and then it'll all be profit!"

"Hahaha……"

"The NPCs in this game are so smart, there's a lot to learn from them."

"That's right, that's right."

Everyone is very happy.

……

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

The torrential rain washed over the dark red earth.

The fresh air did nothing to ease An Ran's mind.

Because she discovered that she was being targeted, not by the players, but by several NPCs who had never appeared before.

It's highly likely that the people who previously occupied this room have come back to cause trouble.

Her original plan was that if this person didn't come back, then so be it; but if he did come back, she would release it to the players as a hidden quest.

However, Anran now has some new ideas.

The quest can still be issued to players, but the location could actually be changed.

"You go back first, I have to go out for a bit," An Ran said to Heloise.

Heloise nodded, asking no further questions.

An Ran is her everything; she listens to An Ran and doesn't care whether An Ran is cheating on her. Hmm, why mention cheating?

Two nanobots were deployed to follow Heloise, while the rest of the robots were sent by Anran to track down the stalkers.

An Ran wasn't worried about them demolishing the house, because everything had already been packed away. Even if the house was demolished, she wouldn't lose out, since it wasn't hers anyway.

After getting ready, An Ran went out with a hovering umbrella over her head.
