Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Seeing that the mission was complete, the Knight of the Nai did not hesitate and ran away.

"Damn it, who attacked me from behind?" Leonard rolled over, covering his face, only to see the back of a young man carrying a sword.

He grumbled as he got up, wanting to give chase, but the Naiko Knight was too fast and quickly disappeared.

Enraged, Leonard unleashed a barrage of eight taunts.

It has seriously affected the city's appearance.

A self-employed individual passing by trembled with fear, but secretly felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Damn it, don't let me find out who you are, or I'll make you regret it!"

Leonard walked away grumbling.

But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became; he hadn't suffered such a great loss in a long time.

A young man carrying a sword.

After much deliberation, Leonard decided to go ask Gold Tooth for information. Gold Tooth was a local strongman in the old town and might know something.

……

The mission is complete.

Seeing the increase of 200 experience points and 1 favorability point, the Knight Nai was extremely happy.

This task is actually quite simple.

He turned around to go to Anran, but when he reached the intersection, he found that Anran had already disappeared.

It feels a bit of a pity.

I wonder if there are any more tasks as easy and enjoyable as this.

Naiko Knight is getting a little addicted.

With a sigh, he continued exploring Twin Moon City.

Let's look at the diagram first, then we'll talk about other things.

……

After the Knight Nai left, Anran went straight back to Eudora's house.

For this type of task, as long as the player completes the corresponding action, the game will automatically determine that the task is completed, and there is no need to find an NPC to hand it over; the reward will be automatically issued.

Her staying there would increase the risk of her being exposed.

It's more satisfying to scheme against people in the shadows.

It's even more fun to command players.

Anran chuckled to herself.

"Landard, you dare to betray me? I'll show you just how terrifying the people you've wronged are." An Ran's face revealed a "terrifying" smile.

"Squeaky-"

The cutting machine operates, cutting a piece of metal into several pieces.

An Ran took one of the pieces to the drilling machine and drilled several small holes in the metal block.

"The next step is to cut out the outline."

An Ran wiped the sweat from her forehead.

In her spare time, she would familiarize herself with the blueprints she had just received.

Aside from the inferior exoskeleton armor, Ella's blueprints, and the flat-panel robot vacuum cleaner that she can't make for the time being, she can make all the other blueprints with her current abilities.

Anran is currently developing a mechanical spring knife.

As the name suggests.

It has a special spring structure at the handle, which can retract the blade into the handle to reduce its footprint when not in use. When the mechanism is pressed, the blade will quickly pop out.

It's perfect for a sneak attack.

Compared to ordinary knives, mechanical spring knives are no less mechanically strong.

Not only can it be used for surprise attacks, but the mechanical spring knife also has a very strong spring force, making it a perfect armor-piercing weapon in individual combat and very effective in dealing with some emergency situations.

I really don't know where Colin got these blueprints from.

"Phew, finally finished."

Anran tightened the spring, and the first mechanical spring knife was officially completed.

The game notified her that she had obtained a green-quality mechanical dagger, and she also gained 200 experience points.

An Ran placed the knife on the table next to her. Just as she was about to stand up, a slightly rough hand suddenly pressed down on the hilt of the knife.

A hoarse voice rang out: "Although it's a bit rough, the quality of this knife is still quite good."

Who?

An Ran suddenly turned around.

Then he saw an ordinary-looking old man standing behind him.

When did he appear here?

An Ran's expression changed slightly, and she immediately took a step back.

Chapter 07 The Old Fool

Don't underestimate an elderly person with gray hair.

Perhaps he is a martial arts master!

An Ran inexplicably thought of a book, a book about a female protagonist who tried to steal something but was caught by an old man, thus beginning her magnificent life spanning two thousand years.

Putting aside the inexplicable thoughts, An Ran's vigilance remained unwavering.

The old man was able to appear behind her so quietly; he must not be an ordinary person.

His hair was gray, indicating his advanced age; his facial muscles were loose, and there were deep wrinkles on his forehead.

Nevertheless, the sharp glint in the old man's eyes made him impossible to ignore.

What's hidden inside could erupt at any moment and devour people.

The old man's hand rested on the mechanical spring knife.

"who are you?"

After An Ran finished asking the question, the old man picked up the mechanical projectile knife on his own.

He didn't seem to respond to An Ran's request; instead, he carefully examined the dagger in his hand.

That serious look in his eyes made it seem as if he were studying some profound subject.

The blade had only a shallow groove, making it look like a slightly menacing fruit knife. The old man's thumb slid lightly across the blade, all the way to the handle, and then his thumb ran over the decorative spring on the handle.

No response.

He swiped again, but there was still no response.

What the hell is going on?

An Ran was confused. She quietly took a step back. Behind her was a drill press. If the old man suddenly rushed up with a knife, she should quickly dodge to the left.

"Ok?"

The old man finally spoke again.

An Ran's heart tightened.

The old man twisted the spring with his thumb again, but there was still no response.

"What's going on? Why didn't you put it away?"

The old man swung the knife up and down, the blade reflecting the sunlight "blinding" An Ran's eyes.

"Why don't you put it away? What's going on? Is this knife malfunctioning? You were able to put it away just now."

An Ran's lips began to twitch, and her body began to tremble. This...

"Sigh." The old man suddenly sighed, scratching the back of his head. His annoyed expression was quickly replaced by a smile as he stared at An Ran like an inquisitive student. "Um, how do you use this knife?"

puff-

An Ran's heartbeat stopped for a moment.

You really are the clown the monkey hired!

"Don't look at me like that, it'll make me embarrassed, haha." The old man handed over the knife.

"..."

An Ran carefully took the knife.

Although the old man acted like a clown, making one want to punch him, the stranger he acted, the more wary An Ran became.

She took the mechanical spring knife, and then...

He turned and ran!

"Damn it, why are you running?" The old man was shocked by An Ran's actions.

According to the usual procedure, after An Ran took the knife, shouldn't she teach him how to use it?

An Ran, holding a mechanical dagger, stood at the far end of the workshop, pointing it at the old man from afar.

"Don't come any closer!"

“Young lady.” The old man’s expression turned serious. “Speaking of which, I am your grandmaster.”

An Ran was stunned. "Are you out of your mind?"

I don't even have a master.

The old man beckoned: "Come over here and teach me how to use this knife, or I'll spank you."

"..."
