Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Golden Hair chuckled: "Boswell, stop being unreasonable. So what if someone hit your man?"

"Shut up, you're the one being unreasonable!" Boswell slammed his fist on the table.

The golden retriever retorted, "Are you out of your mind? If she were really a spy, would you still be sitting here barking like this?"

"Ha, I think that bomb is fake. It's a natural disaster fire rain bomb. I'm laughing my head off."

"What's all this noise about? You're not giving me, the president, any face at all!" Luo Wei roared, his face dark.

The golden retriever and Boswell then stopped.

In fact, the two of them have always been rivals.

Luo Wei said in a deep voice, "Let's vote on whether to formally cooperate with her. Raising your hand means you support her."

"I'll shoot then." Boswell placed his hands on the table, remaining motionless.

But everyone else raised their hands.

"..."

Everyone here is a sensible person; we can't win by brute force, but no one can offer any useful suggestions on how to deal with it. Now that there's a solution, it's normal to support it.

"Then it's settled. As long as she proves her intelligence capabilities, we'll cooperate. Also, continue to contact the Star Barrier and the Extreme Freezing Point. I don't believe they'll remain completely indifferent. This is a good opportunity for revenge."

Luo Wei's words set the final tone.

A yellow exclamation mark suddenly appeared above the head of number 002 who walked out.

"I knew something was off all of a sudden, it was the aura of a mission!"

[Eliminate spies].

An Ran modified the quest that the game hadn't given her and sent it to the player instead.

Boswell of the Boswell Pirates.

We need to find a way to sell this troublemaker.

Chapter 10 Bound Teleportation

In Anran's case, the "Purge from Within" faction mission is divided into two phases.

The first phase involves purging the Shadow Pirate Gang, with a reward of 50 experience points; the second phase involves purging the entire Pirate Alliance, with a reward of 300 million experience points.

It's worth noting that there was another bonus that was replaced by a question mark, but the reason for this is currently unclear.

The tasks that Anran forwarded to players after the adaptation were much simpler.

[Eliminate spies].

Assist ANR in eliminating spies from within the Shadow Pirates, which are composed of various hostile forces.

Task reward: 10 experience points per person; find all of them for an additional 30 experience points.

Not a unique task.

The limit is 10 people.

"It just so happens that I need to find 10 assistants."

10 people?

The players who had reached An Ran looked at each other in bewilderment. There were only 6 of them in total, which meant there were still 4 vacancies.

Thus, the anticipated infighting ensued.

I don't need to run faster than you, but I have a hundred ways to make you unable to run.

"Have these strangers gone mad again?"

"Cannon fodder is just cannon fodder."

"Look at that person, they're so funny."

In the end, eight players arrived in front of Anran first, and Anran distributed the tasks to the first four people in order of arrival.

"Damn it, if I hadn't tripped over someone, I would definitely have been the first one there."

"Throw the nut."

"Don't worry, everyone. The Federation is gradually getting back on track, and there will be more opportunities to help us in the future," Number 002 said with a hint of apology.

Upon hearing this, the players who hadn't received the quest were immediately relieved.

There are still opportunities.

It's unclear where this robot called ANR came from, but its arrival seems to have brought about some changes in the Federation. Before this, the Federation completely ignored players who came to surrender.

The players were delighted.

Anran was also very happy.

This is only the first part of the plan.

She needed to win over players and establish her authority within the player community. She had always wanted to do this, but having a faction would make it much easier. She needed a voice; even if she befriended some pirates, as an outsider, it would be difficult for her to unilaterally decide the alliance's strategy.

However, if most players in her faction are on her side, she can not only "leech" off them, but also use them to turn the tables and take control.

"Short-sighted pirates can't achieve great things. Only ANR can lead us to victory!"

"We need a leader who better understands the principles of victory!"

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

An NPC that cannot benefit players will eventually be seen as "garbage data" by players.

You might think that good looks make people want to "lick" them, but these pirates are burly and their actions don't meet the moral standards of players, so it's better to just eliminate them.

Offering tangible benefits to players can attract those who haven't yet chosen a faction to join.

Anran's target is not just Vesa. Due to circumstances, Vesa will have to leave Naglia sooner or later, which is why there is such an unequal faction war. Defending until Vesa leaves is a victory for the Federation.

Surrounded by players, Number 002 and Thohir arrived at the area belonging to the Shadow Pirates.

"What should we do next?" Thohir asked, looking at Number 002.

"All you need to do is gather everyone in the square, and then leave the rest to the strangers."

Thohir was surprised: "They can find spies?"

Number 002 remained unfazed: "Although I don't quite understand the underlying principles, strangers do indeed possess this special ability."

The players standing nearby had an idea.

Players are studying NPCs, and some NPCs are also studying players out of curiosity about the player group; this is no secret to some players.

Clearly, they treated An Ran as one of these NPCs.

“I understand,” Thohir nodded.

He actually had his own agenda. Due to a slightly strained relationship with the Shadowstalkers, he had no say in the alliance led by the Five Elders. However, ANR's arrival tended to disrupt this balance, so he decided to make an investment.

You have to fight to win.

The road is under your feet; it's just a matter of how you walk it.

"Commander, all the people who stayed at the base have gathered in the square, but some have gone to the nearby settlements," reported Nado, the second-in-command of the Shadow.

"What...what do you think?" Thohir asked Number 002 for his opinion.

Unfortunately, Number 002 can't roll his eyes.

How can I interpret this?

Take your eyes off them and look.

Let's get to work.

People may run away, but they can't escape your heart; people always come back eventually.

"It's okay, let's get started."

Thohir nodded, then turned to the whispering pirates below and said a few words—very brief indeed—and the pirates immediately stood still in agreement.

So what if they look? They're not going to be stripped naked just because some strangers stare at them! Even if something does happen, they're not afraid of these strangers when it comes to guns and swords.

But not everyone thinks that way.

Especially for those who have something to hide, just being looked at like that will make them start to have doubts.

"What exactly happened?" Pirate A asked.

Pirate B frowned: "I don't know the situation either. I was just talking to my lover when I was called over halfway through the conversation."

Do you know the woman next to the boss?

"Never seen it before."

"Really? But she's quite good-looking..."

"this!"

Just then, a passing player suddenly pointed at Pirate B and said to the NPC accompanying him.

"Huh?" Pirate B was taken aback.

Pirate A then asked, "What happened?"

"Take him away directly."

Without a word, several people rushed up and dragged away the struggling pirate B.

They were physically aggressive and even a bit rough, which hurt people.

The other pirates panicked.

Don't come any closer!

The spies who had gone undercover felt a chill run down their spines; things seemed to be heading in a direction that worried them.

Soon, the second person was taken away.

Oops.

One of the spies clenched his fist. How exactly did they manage to get the person out? He had to notify his comrades who hadn't returned and those lurking in other pirate groups as soon as possible. He couldn't let the organization's efforts go to waste.
