Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Anran patted Ella's head with satisfaction, thinking it was wonderful that she had such lofty aspirations.

"Alright, we've left a few detectors and a few B1 bombs here. Let's go check out other places first."

Anran and Ella returned to the portal.

The four pirates were still hanging there, grumbling away.

But time is almost up.

There are miniature bombs hidden inside the pickaxe, and a sacrificial ceremony will be held at a certain time.

An Ran didn't go directly through the portal; instead, she threw some things over first.

It is a small detector.

As expected, no signal was received, so Anran no longer hesitated.

At her and Ella's speed, the time it would take to pass through the portal would be the same as the time it took to teleport.

A whirlwind suddenly swept across the other side of the portal, and before the pirates guarding the entrance could react, they saw several button-like objects fall to the ground with a thud.

Signal shielding.

Next came the execution.

An Ran showed no mercy to the members of the Hundred Wood Pirates.

However, when it came to bullying these level 4 or 50 pirates, Anran and Ella displayed completely different styles.

An Ran didn't waste time and effort driving the mechanical puppets and combat drones. The emerald green [Hurricane] was like a whirlwind that swept across the battlefield, instantly causing the pirates who came into contact with the green light to fall straight down.

Ella transformed her arms into sharp blades, which seemed to increase her lethality, but she was clearly not yet used to this temporary change in fighting style.

Some pirates were hacked to pieces on the spot, their blood gushing out like waterfalls, and they died tragically.

Some pirates fared even worse; while the gore wasn't as intense, they were still launched into the air by Ella's charge, feeling as if they'd been hit by a small flying machine.

Turning around, they found that Anran, who was flying in the sky, would put a wind binding on them, and then a wind blade would cut off the dog's head.

In less than a minute, only three pirates remained guarding the door.

“Tell me, where did Bessadin go?” Anran threatened.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you. The boss went to hunt down the Flying Pirates, and now I don't know where he is."

"..."

……

On a desert planet in the planetary system where Yuanhai Star is located.

A man wearing a large dark gray hat walked out of the portal looking exhausted.

Upon learning that numerous natural portals had appeared in the North and throughout Paradise, the Big Hat realized this was a golden opportunity.

He spent four days traveling non-stop to the park, and with the guidance and escort of countless strangers, he finally arrived successfully.

At this moment, players kept popping out of the portal behind him.

These players, undeterred by the high map level, couldn't stop smiling after arriving at the [Source Sea Infected by the Void].

"We've finally arrived!"

"Go for it!"

"Let's explore the area first."

"The escort mission is complete."

"It's time to part ways."

The man in the big hat smiled kindly at the players around him.

He came from the Governor's Office and was a confidant of the think tank members who advised the Governor to seize the opportunity to nip the super-dimensional growth in the bud.

This time, he was tasked with a crucial mission: to secretly contact the "ambitious individuals" in the park, get the governor's office to open the red light, and use the pirates' power to launch a surprise attack on the transdimensional space-time portal from Baplo.

At that point, they will be attacked from both sides, and even with extremely powerful anti-aircraft weapons, they will not be able to stop the advance from the ground.

The think tank also received information that the overlord of the transdimensional world, ANR, is currently out and about, which presents an even better opportunity.

They reached several consensuses at internal meetings.

First, since the combined pirate fleet has been repelled, the development of the transdimensional space cannot be allowed to continue smoothly. Otherwise, the current governor is likely to be hanged, and those who act as strategists will not fare much better.

Second, the Governor's Office alone cannot defeat the transdimensional force.

Third, unite with external forces. The ones we can win over are the pirates in the park. If possible, it would be best to get reinforcements from the Black Tide, but that seems difficult.

Fourth, if the plan to strike at the time-space barrier succeeds, then we will have the authority to deal with those big businessmen who don't respect the governor.

Alright, the meeting is over. Next, they will select a warrior.

Thus, the title of warrior fell upon Lin Wu, who aspired to make a name for himself.

He's bold, has a clear mind, and is capable.

In this society where social stratification is extremely rigid, it is very difficult to improve one's social status even through military merit.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many traitors in the war against Night Owl.

Social stratification was also a key factor in the intensification of internal conflicts within the empire.

Look at the current situation, the entire capital is like a cauldron, with every powerful prince backed by a strong faction.

The elders and imperialists wanted to further consolidate their positions.

Meanwhile, the emerging nobility wanted to break down the established class structure and carve out their own future.

No one would back down, even with external threats, but Lin Wu was also worried that the empire would eventually break out into civil war.

The emerging aristocracy has been suppressed for too long, and they will never compromise.

If those at the top are like this, then the lowly ones below have no choice but to gamble with their lives if they want to turn their lives around.

Before the outbreak of civil war, one should establish a certain social standing so as not to become cannon fodder on the front lines or a small insect to be killed at will on the roadside.

In the empire, no one has ever succeeded in overthrowing their superiors over the years.

Judging from the current situation, Night Owl may still have a slight chance.

"I must make something of myself! I absolutely cannot go back to that filthy little planet!"

Wearing a large hat, Lin Wu walked wearily across the sand.

The planetary system where Yuanhai Star is located is very special. It is so special that although the planets nearby have different landforms, they are all places where people can barely survive without environmental modification.

Especially the Starfish Source, if it weren't for those two-winged monsters, it would be the perfect place to retire.

"The Hundred Wood Pirates are searching everywhere. I just need to make some noise at the highest point to see them."

Lin Wu struggled to reach the summit of the mountain, and then he lit forty consecutive fireworks.

The brilliant fireworks in the sky lingered for more than ten minutes.

The fireworks didn't attract any monsters, but while they did attract some players, Lin Wu also spotted his target—

The pirates are coming in a menacing manner!

He was taken away by the pirates.

Lin Wu finally got a chance to meet Bessad.

After passing through two portals, Lin Wu met Bessadin and Mucan on an unnamed planet.

At this moment, the ground was covered in frost. Below a canyon with icicles hundreds of meters long, Lin Wu was suddenly pressed to the ground.

Bessadin squinted, a gesture he rarely made before.

"I heard you wanted to see me?" Bessad was wearing a thick down jacket and a hat, with only her face showing.

But those seemingly lifeless eyes made Lin Wu's heart skip a beat.

He couldn't see anything.

Exhaling a puff of white mist, Lin Wu explained his purpose: "That's right, I'm an advisor to the Governor of Nagria..."

Oh?

The surrounding pirates immediately became interested.

They already knew that Lin Wu had deliberately revealed his location.

"I'm here today to discuss a collaboration with you."

"What kind of cooperation?"

"About time travel."

Both Mucan and Bessadin's expressions turned grim.

In reality, Mucan is definitely the one who hates Anran more, but what can you do when Besidas is acting abnormally?

"I know that you all want to get rid of the time-space system as soon as possible, and we feel the same way."

Lin Wu recited all the arguments summarized at the meeting.

For pirates, emotional manipulation and a clear analysis of the pros and cons quickly won them over.

If they could cooperate with the Governor's Office to eliminate the Time-Space Dimension, it would be a sure-fire win for them.

It brings both fame and fortune.

As he spoke, Lin Wu stood up, the special ropes binding him were removed, and even his clothes...

They also changed into clothes that were warmer.

When having a serious conversation, you only take off your coat.

They're not gay.

“I am somewhat interested in cooperation, but if the Chronosphere is destroyed, I hope that the weapons they use for air defense can be transferred to us.”

"The specifics will need to be discussed between you, Commander, and my superior," Lin Wu said, neither humble nor arrogant.

If he wants to rise to power in the empire, then he absolutely cannot utter a word about betraying interests to pirates.

Otherwise, once this matter is exposed, it will become a stain on one's reputation for life.
