Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Lin Wu was dumbfounded.

We discussed it in the morning and submitted the report in the afternoon. It's only been 4 hours, and now you're telling me the Imperial Investigation Team has arrived?

What a joke!

This isn't as simple as driving from City A to City B, where you can get there in a few hours after receiving the news, or at the very least, take a private jet.

This is a journey that crosses galaxies.

If you're coming from the capital, even taking the shortest route and using your privileges to skip all the Star Gates, it will still take 5 days to complete.

There are no offices set up in remote areas like Nagorya.

Even if you come from the nearest star sector, it will definitely take more than 4 hours.

"How could they have arrived so quickly? Nagoria didn't even build a teleportation array."

“Who knows why they got here so quickly?” Walker’s tone was somewhat unfriendly. “Maybe they were on another mission in the area at the beginning, and came over as soon as they received the notification.”

Was it nearby from the beginning?

Lin Wu was stunned for a moment.

What can the investigation team do in this area?

Of course, it's about investigating the matter.

What are you investigating?

It definitely couldn't be an investigation into the transdimensional space or the rebellion of the neighboring Black Tide.

Because these things are out in the open, they are clear without any investigation.

The investigation team is not a secret service; their operations are generally not directed against the enemy.

"Could it be that their initial target was actually the Governor?" Lin Wu whispered.

"The investigation team will arrive at the Governor's Mansion in an hour. They want to see you soon, so come over quickly."

Walker did not give a direct answer to Lin Wu's question.

But the fact that he didn't deny it means that he thought so too.

Lin Wu hurriedly rushed to the Governor's Mansion.

My heart is racing.

What exactly is it about the fat governor that they should investigate?

Although he lacked ability, he didn't cause any public resentment. The pirate problem wasn't his fault either; the previous governor hadn't handled it well either.

It's unlikely that the fat governor was removed because of a power struggle at the top.

He didn't belong to any party, and Nagoria wasn't some fat piece of meat that others would covet; it was a piece of rotten meat that nobody wanted.

Lin Wu couldn't figure it out.

He was taken to the reception room shortly after arriving at the Governor's Palace.

The fat governor was also sitting there.

You can tell if someone is in a bad mood just by not taking any food with them.

"Everyone, pay attention..."

Twenty minutes later, the portly governor led a group of people to the door to greet the investigation team.

There are three people in total.

Two men and one woman.

The man at the head of the group wore glasses and black epaulettes with colorful floral patterns.

Glasses are certainly not for correcting nearsightedness.

Two other people followed behind him.

The woman seemed to be a secretary, while the other man, who was squinting and always smiling, looked like a greenhorn. But when he passed by, Lin Wu felt a sudden, inexplicable unease.

It's not about superiors suppressing subordinates with their power.

It's more like... yes, a natural fear stemming from differences in life levels.

A flicker of fear crossed Lin Wu's eyes.

"You seem a little nervous," the squinting man suddenly turned to Lin Wu and said.

"I……"

Lin Wu's forehead began to sweat.

Fortunately, the fat governor noticed the discord here.

He quickly said, "He is Lin Wu, the special envoy who discovered the anomaly."

"Lin Wu, stop dawdling and prepare to report the situation to the investigators."

"Yes."

Lin Wu quickly stepped aside.

I'm finally free from that feeling of being stuck in the mud.

This person is very strong.

Someone this strong wouldn't just be a lackey in the officialdom.

Unless the bespectacled guy in front is even more capable~

The arrival of the investigation team did not bring anything unusual.

After giving his routine report, Lin Wu listened to some of the questions asked by the investigation team.

The questioning revolved entirely around the Mechanical Church, without any other probing questions, yet the fat governor still struggled to cope.

Who would normally pay attention to a weak church organization like the Mechanical Church, which looks like a harmless baby rabbit?

Finally, after much difficulty, they managed to send the investigation team away.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation, Governor. We will first go to the headquarters of the Mechanicus in Nagria. Please arrange the itinerary, Governor."

"No problem, no problem, I've got this covered."

Three investigators emerged from the Governor's Palace.

Meanwhile, in a small private room at a rooftop restaurant in the distance, two people looked down with puzzlement.

"Are these people sent by the Mechanics' Guild?"

"Well, maybe," the other person replied somewhat uncertainly.

……

After passing through the gray fog.

An Ran's first sight was "the clash of swords".

The first thing we heard was the sound of gunfire.

Kanti is stirring, and some familiar players are struggling to resist Kanti's invasion.

In a fit of rage, Kanty knocked the player over with a single ramming attack, then pounced on him like a bull.

Puff puff--

After a few twitches, it turned red.

And so, a vibrant life was lost.

This is a one-sided battle.

Even though the number of players is greater than that of the Cantti.

An Ran glanced at the number of animals and saw that there were about 200 Kanti, while the number of players was close to 300.

It's like 200 American soldiers fighting against 300 Spartan warriors.

Even the strongest Spartan warriors couldn't withstand the long-range fire of American soldiers.

biubiubiu……

Having escaped the gray fog, we arrived at an area filled with green fog.

"Ah, don't come any closer!"

"What a ruthless angle! My chest is already flat enough, uh..."

"I'm not playing anymore, I'm going back to doing my daily quests."

"Damn it, I've developed a psychological trauma, and I need my wife's notebook to heal it."

"I was supposed to go to Cornelia's concert, so why did I come here?"

The players' wails completely drowned out Kanti's excited roars.

It wasn't until the player and Kanti both spotted the two mechs emerging from the gray fog that the situation became clear.

The bewildered players were stunned, bewildered by the man's romantic gesture.

The player from Nagria jumped up excitedly after escaping from Kanti's horns: "It's a time-space portal!"

Once you cross the ridge, you can touch the last metal monument that is already floating in the sky.

An Ran looked up in astonishment at the scene.

She never expected the last metal plaque to be here, to be so big, and to be guided by a bright light.

That road seemed to lead to another world.

"Seal it," Su Tingxue murmured.

"When the indicated path appears, it means that the seals on the other four steles have been lifted."

"Then if we want to stop them, we have to drive away all those who have such intentions."

Holding the energy greatsword and gazing at the floating monument, a surge of pride rose within An Ran's heart... a hammer.

Based on the principle of leveling up by defeating monsters, she prefers to defeat a hundred weaklings rather than challenge opponents who are much stronger than herself.
