Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Even the communicator is made to look so good.

"The pirates in the park have a very high quality of life. I should find a way to get them to help me out, a poor man."

After silently remarking to herself, a black wristband suddenly appeared on An Ran's hand.

"Consider this an extra reward for you."

These are the blueprints that An Ran extracted from the spaceship's database.

It looks like a wristband, but it can instantly extend into a black glove that covers the fist.

Level 50 equipment can increase defense, punching power, and burst speed. In extreme situations, it can also deliver a "Du Gen" with one hand, sending an energy ball flying.

Surprise!

The player who received the wristband had no idea that the quest had a hidden reward.

Moreover, it's a general-purpose equipment with no specific requirements.

It was handed to me by ANR herself!

Take it back to worship, no, take it out and show it off first.

[Shameless old thief, I hope next time you get killed, all your equipment will be looted]

[I'm different; I wish you a "no equipment loss" buff when you're killed.]

I'm so envious! This equipment isn't sold in stores; it's probably handcrafted by ANR himself. What a beast!

[Put in more effort; it seems the reason I'm not strong enough is because I haven't spent enough money on in-game purchases.]

[Make arrangements, give those mechanical puppets a good beating!]

drip-

While other players outside were filled with envy and resentment, Anran activated the teardrop-shaped communicator.

With a light touch of the index finger, the round water droplet suddenly opened up and turned into a floating hemisphere, with four figures appearing on the palm-sized base.

Men and women.

In the distant paradise, the higher-ups of the Star Ring Pirates also saw An Ran's figure.

"You must be ANR from beyond the universe."

“That’s right.” An Ran nodded.

"I am Mai He, the leader of the Star Ring, and these three are elders of the Star Ring Council." The man who spoke was the second one from the left.

He was tall and had a simple and honest appearance at first glance.

But after all, he is the leader of a pirate crew who can make a living in the amusement park, so he should not be underestimated.

"Does Your Excellency intend to take action against the Star Barrier?"

The old man leaning on his sword was still in good spirits. He spoke first, and Mai He didn't say anything more.

“That’s right.” An Ran repeated what she had said before.

What are your intentions?

"We must get rid of him as soon as possible."

"Then I've finished asking my questions." The old man said no more.

"So, what's next..."

Just as the woman was about to reply, An Ran slammed her hand on the table, the loud thud immediately disrupting their rhythm.

"Do you think this is a job interview? Stop talking nonsense, cooperate, and take down the Star Barrier together. If you're not going to cooperate, then there's no point in continuing this conversation."

If I don't show some temper, they'll think I'm easy to bully.

Being in the amusement park sounds impressive, but it's not as cool as the pirate crew of Starwall.

You can't lose your spirit, no matter what. Besides, An Ran has nothing to lose except her height, weight, and measurements.

After a moment of silence, the woman became angry.

"Watch your words. We're being polite to you out of respect. Don't think you're so great just because you're some kind of time-traveling boss. In our amusement park, someone like you..."

"I could slap you to death, believe it or not?" An Ran chuckled.

"What kind of attitude is this? Is this how you ask someone for a favor?"

whispering sound……

It seems that the reputation of "Time Travel" is not yet widespread enough; we still need to work harder.

We must intensify our efforts and give them a good beating, just like the God of War at Xiaoyaojin.

Calmly stop crying.

"Fred and Charles have both been nerfed. Do you think you're better than them?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, the woman continued, "You're just relying on your mecha..."

"Nonsense! I have a mech, do you? You don't? If you don't, shut up! Even without a mech, I can send you flying with one hand!" An Ran slammed her hand on the table again. "There's one more thing you need to understand: asking for favors? Are you out of your mind? Do we in the Transcendental Dimension need to ask you for favors? Wait until you can defeat the Star Barrier on your own before you talk like that. All brawn and no brains, you idiot, get lost. I'll say it again: if you want to cooperate, let's continue talking; if not, goodbye. I've given you the opportunity, so do what you want."

After a fierce rebuke, the woman's face turned pale and then red. She wanted to say something more, but the men next to her pulled her back.

Would it kill you to say less?

Comfortable.

Anran was happy.

Maihe was happy too.

That foolish big-breasted girl, acting like a troublemaker just because she's a senior member of the council, squandering opportunities right in front of her. It's all the fault of the previous council leader, who created this hereditary council system for no reason; he was seriously ill.

“Of course we believe in your sincerity, ANR, and we hope that both sides can reach a cooperation agreement to completely destroy the Star Barrier. But we also have concerns, such as what exactly is the true purpose of the Hyperspace?” Maihe asked.

That would be to dominate the entire universe and build a demon king's palace that no hero could ever defeat!

The above is a declaration of chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), and Anran would definitely not say such a thing.

If you don't show any intention, you'll first be secretly mocked by Maihe, and then the cooperation will likely fall through.

Destroying the Star Barrier is great, but the entry of a new force that likes to fight and cause trouble is actually a worse outcome.

therefore.

Anran's face was filled with the message: "You have to believe me. I'm kind. I'm not interested in Paradise. My goal is to cooperate with Night Owl's CTMD Empire. The reason I want GTND's Star Barrier is because we've made enemies. If we don't take them down, it won't be good if we get attacked from behind when we're doing something big later."

Mm-hmm.

In short, judging from the frequency of their nodding, it seems that the people of Xinghuan believe it.

Whether it's genuine belief or not, that's hard to say.

"Let's think about it again."

After weighing the pros and cons, Xinghuan contacted Anran again half a day later.

"We accept the proposal for cooperation."

Next, we discussed cooperation plans.

An Ran laid out everything she had encountered; this was a trap set by the Star Barrier, and it might be easier to deal with them by following this trap.

"I don't know about the Flying Crossing and Freedom Coast, but we should be able to find out about the extreme cold soon."

"Then I'll trouble you to investigate."

Unfortunately, the Black Tide didn't bring An Ran any good news.

Players have located the runaway steward, but they can't get close to them, so it seems this path is blocked.

Qingling finally received a reply from Feidu.

"Beat up the Star Barrier? No time."

I'm busy.

air.

Holy crap.

An Ran was completely bewildered upon seeing the reply.

What does this mean?

Is it a polite refusal? No, this is a direct refusal, but isn't the reason a bit too hurtful?

Can we conclude from this that what Bika said is true?

"Why are you busy?" Qingling asked in return.

"I'm not free, that's all. If you want to go, go by yourselves, or go find someone from Free Coast. I don't have time to play this kind of game with you."

"..."

Wait, doesn't this mean that Flyover, Free Coast, and Sheila don't get along?

They're back, they're all back.

An Ran was in tears, unable to tell whether Bika or Zuo Zheng was right.

Bika said that Fei Du and Sheila had an extremely bad relationship, but that doesn't seem like it. Zuo Zheng said that Free Coast and Sheila had a good relationship, but Fei Du directly asked Qing Ling to go to Free Coast to cause trouble together.

Gan.

What's even more problematic is the information Shila released.

She anticipated that Enron would send people to investigate, so she spread false information every day.

On the first day, someone saw Pikachu and Sheila chatting and laughing.

The next day, someone saw Zuo Zheng and Xila having a couple of drinks.

On the third day, the three of them were spotted inspecting the base together.

As for the manhunt, some say that Bika has blown up two more ships, while others say that Zuo Zheng has vowed to take revenge on Sheila.

The Star Ring's weak intelligence agency didn't get any useful information.
