Poverty makes me capable of anything.

A fish swam over in a panic.

[Edible]

Arrested.

Under Anran's skillful handling, many of the stunned fish were trapped within the mech's force field.

A moment later, Anran and Ella, having returned with a full load, piloted their mechs back to the sea surface.

Instead of rushing to Azure City, An Ran wanted to entrust the sea fish to Qing Ling and the others for safekeeping. Her appearance was also to tell them and the native sea people that from now on, Mingyuan Island would be a thing of the past, and the monsters that surrounded Mingyuan Island would become food.

"what……"

Once outside, Anran discovered that the whole world had changed drastically.

Looking out into the distance, there are no more reefs protruding from the sea, swaying precariously in the wind and rain, let alone any local sea dwellers or natives—not a single one remains.

Fortunately, those space fighters were still in good condition, even though they were far apart.

"They're out, wait..."

Qingling's eyes widened, and she tensed up again after only a moment of relaxation.

Besides the Silver Moon Knights piloted by Anran and Ella, why did another black mech appear?

"I've already taken care of that monster. I'm coming down to get some stuff."

An Ran's voice rang out from inside the fighter jet.

Despite her confusion, Qingling still flew her fighter jet in front of the two mechs.

At this moment, she also knew through the projection that it was Ella piloting another mecha, and she calmly stuffed all the sea fish she was holding into the back cabin of Qingling's plane.

"..."

"This is tomorrow's rations."

"..."

Fine.

Qingling pointed at the sleeping Tan Yiyue. What should she do with this native girl?

The [Sleep] buff is extremely noticeable.

Emmm...

I just don't know if it's physical or chemical drowsiness.

"Let her lie there for now, I'll deal with it after I'm done with my business."

Qingling nodded.

"Take her back to the spaceship's docking point first. I'll go down to sea to take a look and then come back."

After giving their instructions, guided by Ella, the two mechs flew to the location of the exit they had just passed.

The rock strata have crumbled, and now a huge metal ring can be clearly seen. Its rough surface creates an etched effect, and it is estimated that the interlocking fan-shaped teeth can be separated to allow entry and exit.

thump—

The ground began to tremble.

As time went on, the surrounding seawater became increasingly turbulent. After a sudden jet of water, Ella raised her right hand and pulled Anran's mech back to safety.

Best girlfriends walk together.

In this way, Azure City would no longer be able to shut Anran out.

Space reverses, time flows in chaos.

In the blink of an eye, the two mechs landed in the empty hall.

When I landed safely, I saw the Tantang II, which looked exactly like the Tantang.

Here it comes, the story missions about Azure City.

"Welcome to the Azure City." Tantang II looked at Ella with a smile.

"Look at you, so capable," An Ran snorted silently. This time, she wouldn't stoop to Tan Tang II's level. Let Ella say what she had to say.

Once they gain control, they'll sleep with you as soon as possible!

After the harmonious conversation, Tantang II will take Ella to the small room.

It tastes familiar again.

Although this sycophantic AI was trying its best to please Ella according to its core settings, it still couldn't escape being infected by the virus written by that unknown entity.

With 2000 million experience points secured, partial control has also been gained.

Ella nodded happily.

"Please wait a moment!" A water ball suddenly appeared in Tan Tang II's hand, and she waved it towards the distance.

After the previously empty ground shook, a waterway suddenly appeared, stretching into the distance.

It reflects a crystalline light.

A small boat was floating in the waterway.

They really know how to enjoy themselves.

"Please!" Tantang II bowed to Ella.

"Anran, Anran, let's go."

"Ah."

The Watercraft was ready. The glass panels on top were closed, and then the water flow below propelled the Watercraft forward happily.

After entering the pipe, there are even various spinning and jumping movements; this hidden room is indeed quite secluded.

Tan Tang II sat smiling in the driver's seat, but his gaze turned to ice the moment it fell on An Ran.

"..."

Ugh, this discrimination is infuriating.

You just wait, I've already invaded your predecessor Number I's body, you can't escape either!

I'll ravage you after I've slept with you!

This is a distinctive little room.

Standing in the azure sea, surrounded by swimming fish, Tan Tang II led An Ran and Ella to a floating box with expectant eyes.

"..."

An Ran smiled enigmatically, exchanged a glance with Ella, and before Tan Tang II could introduce anything, Ella asked, "Can you tell me what exactly is sealed in this box?"

"is # & %$"

Tantang II crashed on the spot, ruined by a single sentence from Ella.

And that familiar voice rang out again: "You bastard, it's you again!"

Without Tan Tang II bothering her, An Ran decided to try and get some information out of her.

"Yes, yes, it's me again, the clever, cute, and brave Time-Space Overlord!"

"..."

"You have angered a great race, and your entire existence will be annihilated in their fury!"

"What a load of bull," An Ran chuckled. "If you're so capable, why don't you come out first? Oh, by the way, didn't you say last time that your followers could kill me? It's been months, why haven't your followers shown up yet? It's driving me crazy."

"Huff, huff—"

After a pause, the voice continued, "You ignorant fool, even the empire you fear cannot subdue my followers, yet you dare..."

"You cowardly trash, tell me who your followers are!"

"..."

When it came to the crucial point, the unknown entity fell silent again.

It seems that it also harbors some reservations, and it cannot take the initiative to contact its followers, otherwise, the transdimensional space would not have been completely unscathed.

"You coward, I'll kill you as soon as I find you!"

Since the thing stopped talking, An Ran cursed it as much as she could, but it seemed to be very magnanimous and didn't respond even after An Ran cursed its ancestors for eighteen generations.

"I was wondering if you actually didn't have a horse at all?"

"..."

Damn, this is so boring.

Forget it.

Having completed another hidden quest, the "Three Dark Engravings," and gained 500 million experience points, An Ran was no longer in the mood to waste any more time arguing with it.

"Let's shut down Tantang II first."

"Uh-huh."

Of course, Ella will have to help with the task of guiding us.

The door closed, and the room returned to silence.

Actually, Ella didn't used to swear. But after Anran started swearing a lot, Ella learned to swear too, just like the path on the ground...

cough cough.

Alright, after shutting down the mainframe of Tantang II and finding the materials room, while maintaining the mech, Anran learned from the forum that the game's next update was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

The brand new V1.5 version is now available, featuring a new dungeon system and class adjustments. It will take ten days to complete.

Well, overall, it shouldn't have a big impact on her.

Chapter 16 The Ether Mechanic

"The level has been increased. Although it is still impossible to analyze the blueprints of this mech, repairs are no longer a problem."

He put his repair tools back into the subspace and jumped safely off the mech's arm.
