Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Qin Shuiyan started imagining things: So that means she's not gentle?

He's a grumpy guy, but his volatile temper gradually influences "Altina," giving her a new lease on life.

A storyline that, like those in novels and TV dramas, evokes a unique and captivating allure!

As night gradually fell over the settlement of Eland, the people who had gone out during the day slowly returned, and Eland regained its vitality.

However, the advance team members were still not very enthusiastic. After drinking their sorrows away, they received orders from their superiors.

To avoid unnecessary harassment from the rear, Vesa's army will arrive some time later, but not too long. Until then, the advance team should cease all activities, assume temporary command, and patiently wait for more outsiders to arrive. Once enough outsiders have arrived, a probing attack on the Plains Valley base can be launched.

Standing on the roof of the tallest building in the Ailand settlement, gazing at the endless yellow sand, Qin Shuiyan said this.

Okay, I've received the information. Thank you so much!

Heloise then relayed the message to Anran.

After Ella gained partial control of the City of Aether, Anran was able to maintain contact with the outside world without leaving the city, which was during the previous contact battle.

There's not much to say. Since we know the opposing faction will launch an attack soon, we should certainly give them a good welcome.

A meeting was held at the Plains Valley base to discuss countermeasures, while Anran and Ella were taking stock of their gains in the City of Ether.

First, there's the "access control system" of Ether City, followed by the defense system for the outer areas within Ether City. As for the more crucial internal area access and the overall operational system of Ether City, these are not under Ayra's control.

But these are not major problems. With these permissions, Anran has already mastered the access mechanism to the City of Ether.

This is her and Ella's backyard. As for the other modules, they can acquire them step by step as they level up.

Can't I direct those "figurines" outside?

No problem. Just lock the door, and anyone who wants to come in to explore will have to obediently take that path. With the defense system and the "figure group," at this stage, as long as players aren't risking their lives, every one who comes is a free kill.

This is the most reassuring fortress.

Its high level meant that even ordinary naval cannons couldn't break through its defenses, not to mention the 40-meter-tall mech.

The mechs standing in the lobby are controllable.

The only problem is that it doesn't have much energy left, and the operating time is limited, so we need to find a way to get some more energy.

Anran leveled up to level 56, just a little short of leveling up again. She invested all the extra attribute points into intelligence, reaching 520 points, far exceeding the normal level.

I've accumulated enough skill points to upgrade all the useful skills at once after reaching a higher-level profession.

Investing all points in Intelligence is a strategy An Ran recently adopted. Clearly, with her current strength, she is not suited to a reckless, one-woman-against-thousands-of-people-attack playstyle in such a large-scale faction war.

Hiding behind and sneering, it's much safer to unleash the weapons he created to reap experience points.

"Blueprints for mechanical puppets."

This is the new blueprint Anran obtained after entering the room next to the corridor they had passed through through the back door opened by Ella.

It's still an orange blueprint, but it can be used to build mechanical golems of levels 45 to 65 (Tanhe Limited Edition).

The mechanical puppet's form can change according to the environment. On flat ground, it becomes a high-speed mobile turret, while on uneven ground, it takes on human form. If the road conditions are more complex, the mechanical puppet can even grow more legs.

Enron also benefited greatly from the accompanying blueprints for the new smart chip.

"Turn this place into a secret base, and use the Plains Valley base to attract the players' attention."

An Ran nodded silently. They could transport the Deep Space here. If they left it on the ground, they might be discovered. But if they hid it in the City of Aether, there would be no problem. It would be perfect for them to land through the passage that the mechs used to exit.

The plan was good, but some unexpected things inevitably happened.

For example, just as An Ran was preparing to bring the spaceship over, another uninvited guest arrived.

The players who failed to hunt down their targets were still seething with anger. Many of them had their equipment stolen, so they decided to try again and replenish their strength. Thus, they set their sights on the City of Ether.

There must be many good things hidden in this ancient, enclosed city!

[If I could control that robot army, I'd be invincible on Baplo! Let's raise a salute to the birth of Baplo's new king!]

[A shot to the head is meant to bring you to your senses.]

The wilder your heart, the higher your dreams.

I advise you to be realistic and get through this maze first.

In short, I've already pre-ordered one of those figurines.

Go to hell, you idiot.

When they arrived at the gates of the City of Ether, they were shocked to find that the gates were closed!

“FAFAFA……uk!”

No.

Anran did not actually do that.

Because this doesn't align with Anxue's philosophy; if you cheat others but gain nothing yourself, it's better not to cheat at all.

The correct approach is to say, "My door is always open, and I welcome you with open arms."

Let players in, let them suffer, let them die one after another, but a very small number of lucky ones get good rewards, and this will attract more players.

"Explore the Underground City!"

Let's play a game called "Don't Be Arrogant, Brave Warrior".

In this way, you can safely gain a lot of experience by sacrificing some weapons, and you won't be scolded by other players.

They trick people without them even realizing it.

"It's all up to you guys, including you."

An Ran stood in front of a level 55 mechanical puppet.

This was the first advanced robot she had ever created, using those unfinished mechanical puppets, which took her half a day to build.

Next, as the plan progresses, her mechanical puppet army will rapidly grow!

……

Not long after Langligelang arrived in Bapulo, he heard that the Vesa faction had suffered a crushing defeat, and then news of players discovering the dungeon came.

After the war, both sides returned to calm. Not in a hurry to go to the Plain Valley base, he followed the main force to the underground city.

I'm not looking to get anything good; just coming along to take a look and maybe even making a dungeon-themed video would be nice.

"I've already knelt twice in this dungeon."

The "veterans" [Crow Flies in an Airplane] and [Mouse Navigates a Maze] are sharing their experiences.

"The first time we came with hundreds of NPCs, but that time the Han Hai Gang infiltrated the NPCs, and a battle broke out among the NPCs. We were also inexplicably killed in the melee."

Okay, record it quickly.

The wave stands at the very front.

"After we were resurrected, we brought Huainan Weiju over again. Why wasn't Huainan Weiju here? He was in a bad situation; he had died before, and his next resurrection would take 24 hours."

"Getting back to the main point, when we returned to the dungeon, most of the NPCs were already dead. Then we found a door open in the corridor next to us, so we went straight in. The corridor was lined with unfinished robots, but we couldn't get in at all. At the end was a void, which was a bit strange. The entire void was filled with stars, making it impossible to have any sense of direction. [Elephant Kick] accidentally fell in and dissolved in less than a second."

Is the starry sky empty? That's something we can report on in detail later.

The crows who flew were not stingy in sharing their experiences from the previous two flights.

Soon this group of players entered the dungeon.

"As expected, there's no signal."

"The probe robot is dancing wildly!"

"Fortunately, the game's built-in chat system works fine."

"Holy crap! This is a miniature sci-fi version of the Terracotta Army!"

Anyone would be amazed when they first see so many tall and imposing robots standing neatly in the pit.

Tan, who is "chuunibyou" (a person with delusions of grandeur), created mechanical puppets simply to look cool.

The black metal paired with other colors creates a strong visual impact, and the sharp horns on its head emit a cold light. It is not only a decoration with a unique personal mark, but also a weapon that can be used in close combat.

Its eyes, capable of emitting ultra-high temperature lasers, are usually just a dull blue, and each of its arms, hanging down on either side, is inlaid with a slightly curved scimitar.

"It made me wet."

"Oh ho~"

"..."

Most dangerous, most mysterious, yet most alluring.

So much so that players overlooked the fact that the bloodstains on the ground had been cleaned up.

Maybe it just disappeared automatically; some games have this mechanism, don't they?

"Ah, these lines."

"Ah, this luster!"

Just as I was feeling sentimental, I suddenly heard the sound of a mouse navigating a maze next to me.

"Damn it, this door is closed!"

"..."

Oh dear, the players, snapping out of their daze, suddenly realized they had nowhere to go; the targeted bombs had no effect on the door at all.

"Playing with snakes, you can't find a way anywhere else, how are you supposed to do this?"

Everyone looked bewildered.

Langligelang said quietly, "Actually, it's not that there's no way to go at all, it's just that it's quite difficult."

"What do you mean?"

"Look over there!" Lang Li Ge Lang pointed.

Looking in that direction, sure enough, there was a half-open door behind the swarm of robots.

hiss--

Take a breath.

So terrifying.
