Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"What the hell is the point of fighting? Just wait to die, there's no hope."

It was initially thought to be an indiscriminate attack, but after bombarding the junction and forcing both sides back, the cannons were now aimed directly at the Vesa faction players.

Yes, it would be too unethical to use weapons of mass destruction to kill all the players on your side; people would criticize you for it.

(If no one criticizes An Ran, she'll do it.)

Having fought to this point, it no longer mattered which way the scales of victory were tipped. An Ran simply dismantled the scales, grabbed the weights in her hand, and wore a banner that read "Winner."

The three rounds of bombardment terrified the players, and the subsequent bombardment scared away the endless stream of players who were rushing over.

"You won, go ahead and beat the hell up."

He turned and ran.

The streamer, who was passionately commentating and predicting the imminent fall of the Plains Valley base, was blown up along with his livestream room. The game's planner was so frustrated by the chaotic battle that he was practically tearing his hair out. How was he supposed to write this report?

The players of the Vesa faction were brave and powerful, and they were about to break through the enemy's defenses, but their base was raided and they were scattered like birds and beasts by the sudden arrival of spaceships.

The program's quality was incredibly low.

"That's it, consider it a preview. The sudden deployment of the Alliance pirates has brought this faction war to a climax. We believe that the deafening cannon fire is not the end, but rather a prelude to the next, even more intense faction war!"

"In short, with Vesa's fleet around, I can't think of any way to lose, so let's just report it like this."

"alright."

The reaction of "Youyou" is just a microcosm of the Vesa faction players.

The defeat in the Battle of Pingyuan Valley made them feel like they had lost a fortune, but they still held onto hope.

How can a fleet of over 400 frigate-class spaceships possibly lose?

Even if my grandma were in charge, we couldn't possibly lose!

Don't laugh too soon! They might betray you later.

Having defeated the enemy and gained experience, the only problem now is that sand worm that's still thrashing around.

The battle at the Plains Valley base was far from over; one second it was a battlefield, the next it turned into a dungeon for defeating wild bosses.

After the battle, less than a thousand players were still able to leave the fountain. To be honest, dealing with this sandworm was a bit troublesome. An Ran didn't continue shelling the sandworm, as it would turn the hard-won base into a sieve. So, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She couldn't let the experience and quest slip away.

However, you need to conceal your identity, such as by changing your clothes or covering your face.

Incidentally, after a round of bombing, plus the extra experience from killing players in the mission, I safely gained over 3 million experience points (1800 per person), accumulating a total of 4400 million experience points. My title, "The Most Evil Person," was upgraded to Lv6.

[The real executioner, you are now the human who has slaughtered the most strangers! Keep it up, I'm rooting for you to reach new heights!]

This record is thanks to CC... thanks to the players' cooperation, and thanks to this special panel.

"I will continue to work hard!"

An Ran first leveled up to level 58.

The new passive skills, Dynamics Mastery and Thermodynamics Mastery, have been unlocked.

The Mechanic is a profession built upon countless passive skills and the investment of time and money, supplemented by luck and some active skills. The Mechanic's brilliance lies not in the skills themselves, but in the output they generate.

……

Langligelang only headed to the Plains Valley base after seeing that the Vesa faction had all retreated.

He looked up and saw the spaceships gradually flying into the distance. The players in the Plain Valley base were not idle either; as soon as the war ended, they went into a new battle.

With such dedication in their pursuit of the "mistakenly infiltrated" sandworms, it's no wonder they were able to put up a fight even when outnumbered.

What surprised Langlige Lang the most and made the trip worthwhile was that he actually saw ANR.

The mysterious NPC who was rumored to have a kill reward of 2000 million experience points, who later joined the guild and ruled the Plains Valley base, but who never showed his face.

Her appearance was too abrupt.

As a result, several players who were trying to attract the sandworms' attention were impaled on the spot.

ANR walked out of the area known as "Sandworm Paradise".

Braving the blowing sandstorm, her brown scarf and coat billowed in the wind. She wore distinctive glasses and a mask, and brown mid-calf boots. Beside her were two similarly dressed people—no, they should be called robots—

ANR-005 and ANR-006!

A new ANR has emerged! How can we stand still?

Langligelang quickly switched to shooting mode.

ANR's height was measured at 167.3cm, size B.

grade.

"Holy crap (softly)"

I couldn't see through it.

You can't see through the panel or the face; that mask is no ordinary mask unless ANR reveals its own appearance.

However, this report is already quite valuable.

The level 56 sandworm is very ferocious, but players can still see some of its stats, indicating that the ANR level is higher than level 56.

In the ensuing battles, players discovered that ANR's fighting style involved having ANR series robots in the front while ANR itself carried out a variety of ranged attacks.

The high-temperature electric spark combined with the freezing combo, although the bullets still have difficulty penetrating the sandworm's exoskeleton, greatly distracts the sandworm and gives the player more opportunities to attack it.

In particular, ANR has a special gun that, every time a sandworm spawns a sand tornado, can perfectly suppress the sand tornado's growth, even though it seems to be firing a shot into the air.

This is a gun that Anran modified with Aquamarine Crystal. It's already very powerful even though it can only unleash part of its capabilities.

Having lost its wide-range attack capability, the sandworm fell into a disadvantageous position and ultimately succumbed to the siege of a large group. Under the powerful sniper's skill buff that increased its critical hit rate to 320% and penetration to 200%, it spat out its unwilling slime and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"You killed the Sandworm and gained 750 million experience points."

"Mission [Sandworm Crisis at Plains Valley Base] Completed, contribution 36%"

Because it wasn't an exclusive reward, Anran received an additional 360 million experience points and 3 bottles of muscle-strengthening potions.

She was too embarrassed to steal what the player took, but it didn't matter. After the war, the players would need to replenish their supplies, and the opportunity to make money would arrive.

In the video, ANR comes from the sand, and after defeating the sandworm, it doesn't respond to the players' enthusiasm and goes back to the sand.

It maintains its mysterious style to the fullest extent.

It has aroused a strong desire for knowledge among players.

"As expected of a goddess, she walks with such grace that you almost want to add background music to her outfit."

"Although the goddess is not as tall as I imagined, 1.67 meters is not bad."

"The key is that he looks cool; his gun-switching moves are so skillful it's almost heartbreaking."

"Ugh~ Can you guys stop bragging? Why don't you just shout 'Niu Beer' with me?"

I'll rush to finish post-production and try to release the video today, but I need to join the alliance first.

Langligelang accepted the invitation from the Glorious Era and came to Baplo. While losing two lives in the City of Ether, he kept an eye on the faction war. The various actions of the Federation made him think that joining them was not a bad idea.

The key is that there's something to be found here.

The plot excavator always comes with a plot in mind.

Vesa Boyle is not a character that requires much investigation, although he has led the Azure Forest and the Nagria Borderlands and has had complicated relationships with the player.

However, his current 26 years of life can be roughly understood by simply searching online about the game.

"You've finally arrived." Glorious Era happily hugged Langlige Lang.

Langligelang laughed and said, "Looks like you're doing pretty well."

"It's alright. I only managed to get in early and be an independent to carry around these big guilds. Enough talk, let me show you around the base first."

"That's a good feeling."

I'm having a blast. I'll be making an investigative video about the guild, releasing an ANR (Advanced Person Responsive System), and maybe doing some side projects and research. So far, the guilds' promotional materials always feel like they're missing something, lacking any real impact.

……

An hour after the battle, the Vesa faction players, who had scattered and fled, returned to the Edran settlement filled with rage.

But they were ultimately a few steps too late.

Enraged by Boswell's death, the pirates who set out destroyed the entire settlement.

Everywhere they looked, there were collapsed and dilapidated houses; members of the advance team were either dead or missing.

Players suddenly realized they had lost their faction's contact person.

At this time, no guild had the authority to command other players.

Let's just break it off completely then.

Before Visayas' main force arrived, these players were like deflated balloons, no longer having any intention of provoking the opposing faction.

[You just wait, when my boss gets here I'll kill you all!]

After making those bold pronouncements, everyone went their separate ways.

It's clear that we can't stay in the Edran settlement any longer. We should find a place to live in another settlement and do some quests in our spare time to keep up with the level. That's what we should be doing right now.

Before the events here took hold on the forum, another post caught the players' attention.

[The faction war is over, and as you all probably know, a few quests haven't disappeared; they've become standalone quests. I think you should take a closer look at the [The Fall of ANR] quest.]

【? 】

Holy crap, the reward has completely changed!

Because of the magnitude of the changes, the release of the new content shocked the general public and players who had participated in the faction wars.
