Poverty makes me capable of anything.

It seems like a long road ahead to truly win over this woman.

If you haven't even conquered their bodies, there's no point in having heart-to-heart talks.

……

"everything is normal."

"That's good."

On the way to Dolphin Star, the journey was completed safely after three jumps, which is undoubtedly excellent news.

Ideally, you'd never run into anyone along the way.

At this moment, there's no need to lament the vastness of the universe; Anran, on the contrary, hopes that all NPCs and players will log off at the same time.

Two-thirds of the probes that could be deployed on the spacecraft have already been sent out, with the remainder as spares.

So far, the images shown are all of the cold, clear space, with only a very few probes capturing images that have been "contaminated" by extreme colors.

Qingling, who was escorting Anran to Dolphin Star, relaxed a little.

Now, she hopes that everyone in the Wangchuan Pirate Gang is safe and sound, and that the princess is safe and sound as well.

It would be fitting if everyone were safe and sound.

"There is an estimated interval of about 110 minutes before the next jump location."

The spaceship's AI would broadcast a report every so often, and as for piloting the spaceship, these tasks were handled by Ella when she was around.

Despite its loli-sized body, its computing power far surpasses that of the spaceship's AI.

The ancient essence is amazing, but the chip Colin picked up is definitely not junk either.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the rightmost detector has detected an anomaly."

Ella's reports came faster than the AI's.

But this is not good news.

An Ran's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly moved closer to the display screen that Ella had created.

Several areas of the tranquil outer space were marked with white frames.

The approach speed is extremely fast.

Is it a moving celestial body?

wrong.

An Ran immediately became alert.

Normal celestial bodies cannot move at such speeds.

"Be on high alert."

This was mainly to remind Qingling.

The Wangchuan pirates' spaceships were the main force in resisting the enemy.

"I understand."

Qingling immediately ordered her spaceships to prepare.

The energy weapon began charging, even if it meant wasting irreplaceable energy; it was better than losing the initiative in the event of a conflict.

Even if you can't win the fight, you can quickly start the engine.

Soon, the number of white boxes on the screen increased, and Anran, while on alert, was able to clearly see what was approaching.

spaceship.

At a rough glance, there are probably more than sixty spaceships.

They have a uniform appearance and all look like frigates.

"and many more."

Anran told Qingling not to act rashly.

Because they were escort ships, An Ran immediately began to suspect the origins of these spaceships.

No pirate crew she had ever seen could possibly have so many Imperial frigates, especially older ones that were gradually being retired.

One reason was the lack of available channels, and the other was to avoid becoming a primary target of the Empire's attacks.

Pirates are already committing heinous acts by looting everywhere, but to dare to sail imperial frigates is simply provoking the military.

Ella unknowingly moved closer to Anran.

She's very nervous right now.

The enemy's ships look more powerful and there are more of them. What should we do if Enron really goes to war?

Even if you manage to escape in an escape pod, it's still very dangerous. You can't survive in outer space anyway.

I thought about many things and had many concerns, but the fleet did not make any significant moves after discovering An Ran and Wang Chuan's presence.

It was as if it glanced at something casually, and then flew away from the side.

They flew very fast, completely unaffected by external influences, and quickly surged ahead of An Ran.

They are traveling in the same direction.

An Ran frowned.

"Whoo~"

Ella, standing next to her, made a relieved expression.

"What's wrong?" An Ran patted Ella's head.

"Fear."

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

"I would be terrified if Anran were to die."

"Will not."

It was, after all, the final boss of version 2.0. Although it wasn't displayed on the panel, Anran believed that she had strong luck with potential for growth.

Even Lao Gao has a lucky aura, so how could she, the BOSS destined to stir up the empire, be just a big salted fish?

A doctor cannot heal himself, and the self she sees is not the real self.

After sailing calmly forward for a long time, Anran arrived at the designated location and happened to see that the previous fleet had also jumped nearby.

In the same direction.

After the jump was completed, Enron's conjecture was confirmed once again.

She saw the fleet again in the distance.

“There’s one more leap, and this area will be within Black Gulf’s sphere of influence,” Qingling said.

Regarding the division of pirate forces, Qingling has the clearest understanding in this regard.

She also made many adjustments to the route.

Although she may seem a bit weak now, Qingling is a completely trustworthy helper and a good partner in terms of getting things done and being loyal.

A person with poor skills can improve gradually, but a person with bad character is hard to save.

"It appears they are heading towards their base in the Black Gulf."

Baplo is located in the northwestern part of the northern border of Nagoria. A little further north and up is Paradise, while Anran is currently located in the southeast of Paradise.

It's very close to Naglia, and not far from the Black Tide either.

As for the Dolphin Star, it is located in the central-eastern part of the park, and the last hidden engraving is located in the northwest area of ​​the park. Connecting them forms an acute triangle.

That place is very close to the legendary Void Graveyard.

“Perhaps they came from the Kuroshio Current,” Qingling guessed.

"I can't be bothered with all that. Since no one's bothering me, I'll hurry up. There's only one more jump left."

The deployed probes were retrieved, and more than thirty spaceships activated their warp engines. After a few minutes of charging, the once vibrant deep space returned to its frigid state. It wasn't until five minutes later that a new probe arrived, circled the area without any results, and then returned along the same route.

……

"We've finally arrived!"

Dolphin Star, a planet recorded only in the database of the City of Ether, does indeed exist.

Looking at the Dolphin Star so close at hand, An Ran couldn't wait to open her arms and embrace that blue planet, 90% of which is covered by ocean.

The ocean nurtures life and hope, as recorded in the database of the City of Ether. Dolphin Star is also a habitable planet.

However, it did not give rise to an advanced civilization like Pavlo.

Several hundred years ago, this place was still in the primitive era.

In terms of normal evolutionary time, even if eight or nine hundred years have passed, the primitive era is still the primitive era.

This will be a very interesting thing.

As the spaceship landed, An Ran suddenly wondered if intelligent beings living in the water would mistake their spaceship for a god descending to earth.

As civilization evolves further, when later generations examine the civilization of this era, will they come up with all sorts of speculations about those strange murals and puzzles?

Maybe we should give them something more exciting.

Suddenly seized by a playful impulse, An Ran tugged at Ella's sleeve: "Let's go for a walk outside."

"Mmm." Ella nodded vigorously.

The spacecraft will land on a snowfield near the Arctic.

According to the plan, they will next release probes to "follow the map" and find places with terrain that match the descriptions in the Ether City. The girls of the Forgotten River Pirates will also pilot carrier-based space fighters to help with the search.

However, before the spaceship could land, An Ran's spaceship suddenly opened its top, and then—

"A tall and majestic silver knight, radiating a dazzling light, suddenly appeared in the clouds."

"The knight who disappeared for a thousand years has reappeared before the people. Just as he appeared in the world before, he will bring the spark of civilization to the people of Dolphin Star."

"The knight looked down at the boundless blue ocean, which seemed to be surveying its own territory and people."
