Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Pei Ning quickly leaned closer: "Click to take a look."

The person opened the task status bar and glanced at it briefly, and the two of them were immediately stunned.

Two new failure records appeared before my eyes.

No.1 Demi and her men died in the chaos of a battle with strangers while chasing their target.

If Demi's death was simply due to bad luck, then the second record raises serious questions.

The renowned assassin Shadow, known for his 96% mission completion rate and nicknamed "Hummingbird Chicken Killer," was found dead on the edge of the battlefield. His fatal wound was a sword wound that pierced his heart. Even after death, his face remained contorted in pain, suggesting he had been tortured before his demise.

"..."

"Did she do it?"

Pei Ning shook his head: "It's hard to say, but for this mission, even if we don't mention the Hummingbird level, it's clear that the 200 million reward is not enough now."

"Demi just died like that. This morning she said she'd do this little task out of courtesy, but I never expected..."

Life is unpredictable.

Pei Ning and the man sitting there stopped thinking about anything else. Demi and Shadow had both failed at their mission, so there was no way they could even dream of it with their current strength.

……

"A reward of 200 million? They're really generous."

After closing the mission to assassinate herself, An Ran opened another mission related to her.

Different tasks, different identities.

This mission is the Hummingbird-level mission issued by the Avengers, with a bounty of 5000 million dollars.

"The target is a mechanic, highly skilled in the use of machinery, with a strength rating above G52, making him extremely dangerous."

Wow, the reward is only 5000 million. The person who posted the task must be a poor guy.

Let me see who posted it.

An Ran found the name of the person who issued the mission, AM05, a strange code name, but it wasn't a big problem. She came to the Assassin's Ladder just to investigate some things, and didn't intend to go through the trouble of becoming an assassin.

Continuing to search for missions related to pirate groups, Anran soon discovered that several missions targeting the leaders of major pirate groups were issued by AM05.

It seems he's the one in charge of this aspect within the "Avengers".

AM05's rating is "Chicken-level Assassin," what a terrible name! He only carried out 5 missions, and after being promoted to Chicken-level, he stopped taking any new actions. However, he issued quite a few missions, and apart from a few people, the targets were all pirates.

"If this isn't a hidden faction, then this organization was probably set up by the Imperial government."

After noting down the names of the pirates marked for the mission, Anran closed the mission window.

There's nothing interesting to see anymore.

She turned around, but instead of walking away, she walked step by step toward where Pei Ning was.

"Uh……"

Why did she come here?

Pei Ning and the man beside him were filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

"I need your help with something," An Ran said bluntly.

"What is it?" Pei Ning asked.

"About the person who issued the mission to assassinate me..."

Pei Ning immediately understood: "You want to get rid of him?"

"The game should end now."

It's time to have a stable environment to make more money from players.

"..."

"Although you're not good-looking," the person next to Pei Ning smiled, but Pei Ning's expression turned sour.

Damn it, Uncle Li.

Why are you still saying those sassy things you used to say at a time like this? It's like lighting a lantern in the toilet.

"But I think you're someone worth befriending. My name is Ivan."

As he spoke, Ivan extended his hand—well, he was handing something over; he didn't intend to shake hands with Anran.

The location, and the name.

It's all written on the cover of this paper book.

"Thank you."

An Ran nodded slightly, which saved her the time of looking for that person.

"Consider this as payment."

An Ran pretended to take something from behind, then threw a gun out.

In appearance, it is a type of scatter gun from the Imperial standard equipment, but because it is made of higher-end materials, it is not only easy to disassemble, but also has a much stronger resistance to impact.

Ivan took the gun and watched An Ran walk away safely.

Pei Ning secretly wiped away a bead of sweat: "You really dare to say that. If you anger her, you'll be in big trouble."

“It’s a habit, haha, it just came out unconsciously. But speaking of which…” Ivan fiddled with the gun in his hand, “that face probably isn’t her real face.”

"How to say?"

"She's wearing makeup. Even though it's quite good, in my eyes, an experienced driver, everything will be obvious," Ivan casually remarked.

Pei Ning was speechless. In this matter, it was up to the professionals to speak; he, a lazy bum, could only laugh it off.

"So, would you say she was prettier or uglier than she is now?"

Ivan shook his head: "That's hard to say, but I think it should look better."

"so……"

“So I have no idea.” Ivan put his gun away. “Alright, I know my own limitations. I’m serious. If she plans to stay here long, it would be very beneficial for her to befriend a powerful mechanic. Besides, while I like beautiful women, I don’t like beautiful women who are stronger than me.”

"At least you have some self-awareness."

……

The next morning, Anran, who hadn't slept all night, continued to run the Mysterious Workshop.

The hardworking robots didn't rest all night either, so as their owner, she naturally had to support them with her actions.

That is, to sell what they make as quickly as possible.

Then, when they malfunction, check them and apply some lubricant.

Business is still very good; the "buy two, get a discount" tactic is very effective in stimulating players' enthusiasm for purchasing.

The main source of profit was the custom appearance service. Originally, they just wanted to take the opportunity to demolish the shops of large-scale pig breeding farmers, but unexpectedly, so many things happened. Overnight, they became a target of public condemnation on the forum. The low-cost, shady service made Anran's "conscience" seem even more apparent.

There's a saying that goes, "It's all thanks to the contrast with your peers that you stand out."

An Ran also saw the Devil's Steps team. They already knew about them, so they weren't surprised to see An Ran again. They simply marveled at how amazing An Ran's skills were.

"If you see something you like, buy it. The money isn't really spent; it's just in a different form that stays with you."

They released some nice-looking skins?

buy!

"Um, could you engrave my wife's picture on this knife?" a player asked An Ran shyly.

"Send me the design drawings first."

Then Anran received a design drawing with a photo engraved on the end of the blade, showing a scantily clad anime girl.

"..."

"What do you think of this?" the player asked An Ran nervously.

"This picture is quite well-made, so it might cost a little more!" An Ran said, pointing with her index finger.

The player nodded repeatedly: "Money is not a problem, as long as it can be engraved."

“Well…” An Ran smiled happily, “Let’s pay first, it’ll only take a few minutes.”

"Here you go." The player was also happy.

He received a knife engraved with "wife," while Anran received money; both were happy.

And so, a new path to wealth was opened!

This player was the first to ask Anran to engrave other characters' names on his equipment.

Others who saw this immediately had new ideas.

I want to carve two wives, one in front and one behind!

[Damn it, I'm starting to save money now. I'm going to buy a robot wife, and then get a more advanced AI!]

[The problem of being single for many years has finally been solved!]

[Haha, my wife and I have been in a relationship for over 40 years, and now we can finally walk down the aisle.]

I already have a feeling that your wife is carrying n children.

No, it's actually shared.

Steamed goose heart (four-layered vegetarian dish).

An Ran suddenly realized that there were even more players at the store than yesterday.

Although no one bought two robots at once, the sales volume added up, and the revenue was actually higher than yesterday.

This money comes easily. These tasks can be completely handed over to hardworking robots. Carving one doesn't take much time or even much cost, but it brings in at least several thousand dollars at a time, which is much more valuable than selling low-end weapons. The key is that you won't be called a profiteer.

Enron recognized the hard work of robots numbered 1 to 20 and decided to continue upgrading them, making them the labor representatives of Enron's robot empire.

The good times won't last long. Besides making money, we also need to upgrade, and the pre-stored materials aren't enough.

On the morning of the third day on Nayi Star, Anran received a call from Qingling.
