Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Exquisite sand sculptures are displayed as models in glass showcases.

There are elegant dancers, all kinds of cute animals, and of course, there are also peaceful sand sculptures, ranging from life-size eagles to 1:10 scale eagles.

Unlike other sand sculptures.

The production of Anran's sand sculptures involves profit sharing with Anran.

Mo Shahe was initially reluctant to do Anran's sand sculptures. Why should he do it? If he didn't do it, he wouldn't have to share the profits. But after receiving dozens of orders in one go, he realized how big the business opportunity was.

"Let me tell you, you can make a lot of money from these kinds of silly sculptures."

Anran refers to the silly pirate princess.

Mo Shahe made some sales in a daze, and sold a few over the past few days, but not many, until the new female players surrounded him, and the new male players surrounded the female players.

"This is a sand sculpture of the pirate princess!"

The number one in-game brand driven by players!

Many players have seen related works.

In terms of popularity, Pirate Princess could drive Anran insane.

The billion dollars in revenue they earn each month is no joke.

"Boss, give me one!"

"Boss, I want a life-size sand sculpture in a rather unique pose!"

"What position?"

"It's not convenient to say this outright."

Everyone gave knowing smiles.

The pre-emptive measures taken by the Time-Space Guardian resulted in a smooth handling of the influx of players. There were virtually no disruptive players, and even if there were, they were quickly subdued by the guarding mechanical golems.

If you have a personal grudge, go to the ring to fight. Of course, you have to pay to fight in the ring. If you cause trouble outside, you can expect to go to jail.

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the hollow several thousand meters underground of the Time-Space City, An Ran, Ella, and Meng Lan gathered together. Under the dim white light, An Ran inserted the custom-designed drive-type psionic core into the reactor.

"Okay."

With the psionic matrix closed, the celebration can begin.

A psionic matrix with a radius of about 10 meters is enough to ensure the daily operation of the steel city, but Anran prepared two because the steel city is actually a huge war machine.

The orange blueprints obtained from the Aquamarine Star quest are all high-quality items, requiring 5 to 6 points of Intelligence to analyze.

……

The inauguration ceremony of the Time-Traveling City was ultimately held in the evening.

A suitable temperature and a suitable background color.

After so much preparation, even if people didn't think the Time-Traveling City was good-looking, most of the nearby players and NPCs still came over.

The entire perimeter of the transdimensional city was completely surrounded.

However, those who rushed over after hearing the noise only found complete darkness.

There was no stage, no curtain, and they couldn't even bear to turn on a single light.

Hey, what are you guys doing?

Are you playing the "boy who cried wolf" game?

Just as the whispers were starting to spread, everyone heard a faint sound coming from underground.

Just then, Anran pressed the switch to power the psionic matrix.

The celebration began.

In an instant, lights came on in every home.

Silvery-white halos rose into the sky in concentric circles, each halo displaying the words "Timeless City" in different scripts.

All the buildings scattered across the land came to life on the grand stage of the Time-Traveling City.

Anran intends to use these buildings to stage a grand dance.

It is accompanied by the most dazzling technological scenery and shadows.

All the extraordinary things serve to highlight the extraordinary aspects of the present.

Simply put, it's about lowering your stance and then showing off.

The huge contrast between before and after makes this act of showing off really impressive.

However, that's not all.

Enran also activated the sandstorm of the City of Ether to help, and as the lights lifted the city as if it were about to take flight, a towering sandstorm spewed out from underground.

They formed a giant circle, and above the circle appeared an illusory, seven-colored platform, like sunlight shining into a clear swimming pool. When the atmosphere reached its peak—

Tick.

With a soft sound, the balance was broken, and the large ball of light, carrying astonishing power, suddenly shot into the outer sky.

Boom!

This is the inherent defense system of the steel-structured city.

Judging solely from its energy level, it is an energy projection with greater power than the Silver Moon Knight's energy arrow.

As for its actual power...

It's clear from the fact that the entire sky has been rendered in color.

drop by drop...

Meanwhile, An Ran, who was quietly watching this scene from the City of Ether, made an emergency contact with Qiao Qina.

"What..."

"This is bad! The combined forces of the Hundred Wood Pirate Gang and the Black Bay Pirate Gang have launched an attack on us. The Star Ring is not holding out at all."

"..."

Let's launch a surprise attack.

How many spaceships are there?

"More than 1,700 ships."

They'll definitely expend some energy at the Star Ring. If they come straight to Baplo without resting, it'll be a good opportunity for them to test the power of the combination of the Time-Space City and the Space-Based Ray.

Chapter 23 is actually Macross.

The celebration is still ongoing.

Light pollution is not to the point of blinding people.

The main attraction of the celebration was the ever-changing, time-traveling city, so An Ran had no intention of showing herself.

Maintaining a certain degree of mystery is far better than being an approachable idol.

This has been tough on some of the players and NPCs who were waiting for her to come out and say a few words.

If you're just looking at it as a performance, this is above average.

Some time after the performance began, one live stream after another appeared on the forum, all sharing the same theme—the inauguration celebration of the Time-Traveling City.

Ah, this light! Ah, this water!

Where can I find water?

【…】

My ANR is indeed extraordinary.

Being too flamboyant will get you killed sooner or later.

You dare curse my wife? I'll beat you to death first!

Come on, the PK arena awaits you!

Bring it on, who's afraid of who?

The lively celebration performance lasted for half an hour.

However, what brings joy to celebrations most of the time is not the performances, but the atmosphere that emanates from within the celebration itself.

At the most beautiful time of your life, walk hand in hand with the person you love and enjoy the happiness of being showered with affection.

As the inauguration ceremony of the transdimensional main city.

Although the celebration lacked the cloying scent of youthful romance, the atmosphere of shopping sprees was still at its peak.

Other facilities haven't moved in yet, but all sorts of shops are already ready.

Enron even temporarily allowed merchants from the outer commercial district to bring their goods to the vicinity of the Time-Space City for sale.

Similar to Singles' Day (11), the more stores participate in the event, the more intense the atmosphere becomes. Everywhere you go, you see discounts, making it hard not to buy.

Even the scenic facilities built in the city that resemble ladders to the sky, when you ride the ladder to fly into the sky, you can see slogans like "First item 10% off, second item 20% off" from afar.

"When it comes to buying things, there's also a herd mentality. If a lot of people buy a certain product, other people who are just looking at it will also feel tempted."

After getting her makeup done, Anran led Ella through the bustling streets.

Enjoying the rare tranquility.

Compared to the efforts made while traversing the sea of ​​stars to change the ending that was overturned by the players, the noisy chatter around me was indeed a welcome respite.

He walked forward hand in hand with Ella.

They're less like a couple and more like an older sister and younger sister.

Their hidden charm prevented them from becoming the center of attention, which was just right.

Anran could take Ella on a tour of her city.

Buy some metal crafts, like sugar figurines or cotton candy, and have Ella eat them where no one can see her.
