Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Ignore them," the leader of the charge suddenly turned back and whispered to Zhou Jieyu.

The group of players, who were idly queuing outside, wanted to cause some trouble, especially after they discovered that the person leading the escape was a pretty girl.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

An Ran looked over and saw a familiar face – the swordsman Nai Zi stepped forward.

"Brother Naizi." Qing Shuang tugged at his clothes from the side.

The chuunibyou spirit leaped forward: "So what if there are more people? Does that mean we can bully girls? We have more people!"

Soon, the scale of the dispute escalated rapidly.

In the real world, gamers generally abide by the law, but when they enter games with fewer restrictions, their various "desires" are amplified.

They'll start fighting at the drop of a hat!

I'll beat up whoever I don't like!

It quickly escalated into a chaotic brawl, making An Ran's eyelids twitch. She quickly moved to the side, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Players who go crazy are terrifying.

He even hit himself!

An Ran saw a weaker player repeatedly swinging his knife, then accidentally stabbing himself several times.

Emmm...

The melee ended quickly, with the players on Zhou Jieyu's side gaining the upper hand. The players who had threatened Zhou Jieyu earlier were beaten black and blue, losing most of their stamina and health.

Zhou Jieyu wasn't idle either. Her strength was considered above average among these players. She sneaked in a few attacks and quickly defeated the person who had been the most aggressive towards her.

Let you be arrogant.

Zhou Jieyu quietly threw away a wooden stick.

"..."

"Huh, what's going on here?" At this moment, four players who came out of Building 97 looked at the chaotic scene with blank expressions.

They didn't seem to be in good spirits; they looked a bit weak.

"Why are you all in a similar situation to us?" one of them said.

"Hmph!" The one who had been beaten the hardest got up, snorted heavily, and left.

"Hmph!" The second person got up and left.

The third person got up, turned around, and said, "Hmph!"

They left too.

The fourth person's head tilted to the side, and he died.

The cause of death was heatstroke, which caused the loss of stamina. In addition, being beaten further reduced stamina and health. After the stamina was depleted, the health was also depleted, and the person died.

His body disappeared quickly.

"..."

An Ran, unaware of the truth, felt a jolt in her heart. These players were just as ruthless as she was when they got going.

"What the hell?"

No one offered an explanation to those who were not present.

They were completely confused.

Immediately afterwards, several more people came out of building number 97.

The leader sighed, "This Jiuge is a money pit! It's wasting my money and draining my energy!"

"It costs 50 plutos to go in, and it also consumes almost half a bar of stamina. Why do I feel like I'm visiting a brothel?"

"If it weren't for the 3000 experience points and the opportunity to join Jiuge, I would never have come here even if you killed me."

"Let's rest for a bit. You're too weak. If you go in any further, you'll just collapse."

"I'll go buy some medicine to help me regain my strength tomorrow."

Medicine to restore stamina?

Upon hearing this, An Ran's eyes suddenly lit up.

The mung bean cakes and osmanthus cakes she makes are both foods that can restore energy.

One regular mung bean cake gives you +3 stamina points, and one regular osmanthus cake gives you +5 stamina points.

Currently, players' stamina is generally between 40 and 100.

The effects of these two ordinary quality pastries are still quite noticeable.

If she brought a batch of pastries here to sell, they would definitely sell out.

An Ran suddenly found a new business path that allowed her to fully utilize her old expertise.

She was once just a poor girl selling cakes!

The problem is that I'm busy upgrading and making cakes at the same time, so I'm a little overwhelmed.

An Ran's gaze inadvertently fell on Zhou Jieyu—a young girl who had inherited the profession of "pastry maker" from her.

This child might be able to help.

Chapter 15 That day, Ella boarded Anran's ship.

This child might be able to help!

An Ran's gaze fell on Zhou Jieyu.

After some time apart, Zhou Jieyu, now quite wealthy, has replaced her three basic beginner outfits with a set of un-attribute-enhancing fashion items from a clothing store in Shuangyue City.

Her charm level immediately jumped to 7 points.

When An Ran looked at her again, she felt that the person who led the escape had a completely different demeanor.

I used to be dull.

Now at least you can call her cute and innocent.

Yes, if you have low charm, don't force yourself to be cute.

Although this is true, Anran was once kicked out of an internet cafe by the female owner for criticizing her in this way.

You dare say I'm not cute or adorable?

Go to hell you!

"..."

The perceptive Zhou Jieyu realized that someone was watching her.

She looked around and finally spotted that familiar figure outside the crowd.

The NPC is safe and sound.

Today, she wore a knee-length white dress, looking very elegant. Even with a large, mismatched backpack, she still possessed an extraordinary charm.

However, Zhou Jieyu knew she couldn't be fooled by her appearance!

That's X, a mysterious girl who can move through war-torn cities and ruthlessly wield a pistol.

Anran is as mysterious as ever today.

Zhou Jieyu noticed that An Ran was waving at her.

"Brother!"

Zhou Jieyu tugged at the clothes of the leader of the charge.

"What's wrong?" The leader of the charge lowered his head.

He charged at the front gate during the chaotic battle and got badly beaten; he's feeling a bit down now.

"there!"

Zhou Jieyu pointed to where An Ran was.

"what?"

He led the charge and looked over, then immediately spotted An Ran, whose face remained calm.

A little girl?

Is it a player?

No, that's an NPC.

The leader of the charge did not see any "name hats".

Unless there are special items, players cannot hide their names.

At this stage, the leader of the charge didn't think anyone would be able to get such a prop.

"That's the NPC I told you about," Zhou Jieyu muttered softly.

"That's her?"

The one who led the charge was taken aback.

He had seen his sister's live stream post, and his sister would also tell him about An Ran's deeds. He had long since formed an impression of An Ran in his mind as a leader of the charge.

But now that I look at it, the difference is quite big.

That was clearly just a cute girl much younger than her sister, yet she could say without batting an eye, "Sorry, I'm just a cold-blooded killer!"

She's clearly a girl who looks even more well-behaved and adorable than her younger sister!

Zhou Jieyu tugged at the arm of the one leading the charge: "Let's go, let's go, stop dawdling, hurry up and go take a look, maybe we'll get some kind of mission."

Zhou Jieyu can be said to have "tasted the sweetness" of love.

The last escort mission rewarded her with 1500 experience points, which Zhou Jieyu found irresistible.

All he could think about was increasing his favorability with Anran so he could get more from her.
