Poverty makes me capable of anything.

In terms of effectiveness, it is far better than the charging skills of ordinary mechanics.

The archives room was as deserted as ever.

After Tan Tang II of Azure City was put to sleep, no one could be seen active in Azure City anymore.

Although the modified robot wasn't mentally ill, its intelligence level was still lower than that of Tan Tang, who had been learning and evolving for a long time.

"I'll just have to figure it out myself slowly."

An Ran muttered something under her breath and began to crack the lock Tan He had placed on the documents.

Although his hacking skills didn't improve, with the increase in intelligence, the progress bar, which had been completely still, finally started to move forward at a snail's pace.

Seeing that it would probably take another half day, Anran, feeling bored after the loading bar started, began browsing the forum.

[Something terrible has happened! All the portals in the North have just disappeared!]

7777 likes, 4396 dislikes.

The official forum ranked first in terms of popularity.

Second floor —

[It's not just in the North; I'm on the new map, and the portals here are gone too. Damn it, how am I supposed to play this? I'm stuck on this planet now. If all else fails, I'll just have to kill myself and go back.]

[Stop talking, even the ones in the amusement park have suddenly disappeared.]

What's going on?

[I've joined the Governor's Investigation Bureau branch. We just checked the area near the amusement park, and all the Void Demons that were roaming outside have run away.]

【…】

This is indeed a major event that deserves attention.

Considering the numerous battles that players have streamed on Yuanhai Star, it seems like a clue has been found, but everything still seems elusive.

[I can guarantee that the Hundred Wood Pirates have broken all five sealing tablets.] From: Chang'an 123

[Damn it, could it be that the seal has been broken, which is why the portal is no longer visible?]

I strongly suspect that's the case.

【凸(艹皿艹), those bastards from the Hundred Wood Pirate Gang! I'm not playing with them anymore!】

what?

An Ran was stunned for a moment upon seeing this.

She only learned about these changes after reading the forum.

Without portals, the cost of interstellar travel, leveling up, and grinding monsters for players has increased, and whoever is to blame will be criticized.

Although no one would guess that she was the one who did it, it's still satisfying to suddenly pin the blame on the Hundred Wood Pirates.

Hehehe—

Be as ruthless as winter towards the enemy.

Enron decided to intensify its efforts.

Previously, they had been spreading rumors that the Hundred Wood Pirates were colluding with the Holy Church. Now, they are continuing to have players in the Time-Space Rift spread the Hundred Wood Pirates' "evil deeds," intending to release the void and slaughter a large number of players. For their own safety, they closed the portal...

Absolutely heinous!

For a time, the leaderless Hundred Wood Pirates became a target of universal hatred.

In the eyes of the players, they are shameless villains.

In the eyes of the Governor-General's office, they were a bunch of heartless scoundrels.

In the eyes of the other pirates, their former leader had fallen, and that was good!

The emperor's throne rotates, next year it's...to the time-traveling home.

"..."

"Even the combined forces of Bai Mu and Black Sea Bay are no match for the Time-Space Dimension. Who would dare to mess with them now?"

In addition, the Void Demons wreaked havoc on Paradise, causing heavy losses to many pirate crews, while the Hyperdimensional Dimension outside was thriving.

The second most popular post.

The player-founded media group, Aian Media, has generated immense buzz in the war-torn Blue Forest and the nearby Dream Sea region. Their star idol, Cornelia, has received an invitation to the Imperial Pop Music Festival.

Players exclaimed in surprise: "Capital forces are invading, and virtual idols have a bright future!", "Capital is leveraging the world!", and "The sci-fi drama 'The World Under the Insects,' which has been in development for a year, is about to be released!"

Emmm...

"A World of Insects" - Anran watched the trailer and it seems to be based on a story about fighting insects on Kleber.

An Ran's figure was even interspersed in the trailer.

Copyright fees!

"You should apologize to all the people of the transdimensional world for doing this!"

Tucao returns to Tucao.

An Ran still felt somewhat emotional.

This game is so realistic.

The three members of the "Salty Fish" group, including Zhou Jieyu, haven't leveled up yet; they're still around level 55, but they're already on their way to the capital.

Ah, the twists and turns of life...

If only I could become stronger just by lying down.

I woke up to find that I had leveled up again, how wonderful!

"drop……"

Progress 100%.

A game unlock notification suddenly rang in my ears.

An Ran quickly refocused her attention.

There's quite a lot of data in the database.

Using the search function, Enron decided to start by learning about the last Void invasion.

She felt as if she were in a movie theater, watching a play.

Imperial year 7146.

The void bewitched a small religious group that believed in ancient gods.

This was the precursor to the Sacred Way.

It dates back 958 years.

No one knows how much damage this will cause.

This time, the unexpected event occurred because the other dimension of the void collided with the "real world," and a barely perceptible crack appeared in the paradise.

This, of course, could not escape the observation of the void.

The believers gained power.

They believed this was God's guidance.

They wanted the gods to save this chaotic world.

People's hearts are blinded by desires; it is time to purify them!

Sacrifices, running errands.

The fanatical believers paved the way for the arrival of the void.

The void emerged from the lair (a lair being a void that the void has carved out between two dimensional worlds).

The alien energy disrupted the balance of the amusement park space.

And so, the extreme colors appeared.

Many creatures and humans have been infected and corrupted, becoming inferior Void minions.

The Void that emerged was only at the Grandmaster level.

The impact on Nagoria was immense.

The entire planet became deathly still under the influence of the purple mist.

Later research revealed that there was far more than one Void.

The void that came out to wreak havoc was actually a relatively weak one; it discovered the passage but concealed it and did not report it.

That's why Tan and the others had enough time.

Together with the Royal Knights and the Hermits of Naglia, they sealed the void within that void in what is now known as the "Void Graveyard."

It was Tan He who shouted, "Come at me head-on if you dare!"

After that, no one dared to launch a counterattack against the world where the void was located; it was too dangerous.

The hero saved the world, and peace was restored.

The story ends on a seemingly perfect note.

However, the official intention behind this ending is quite clear.

Version 2.0 introduced this Void as a boss for a certain phase within the Empire, and introduced Anran as a subsequent boss.

In a later major update, when players excitedly headed to other star systems, they suddenly learned that a "Great Transfer" had occurred in the places where they had once fought.

High-dimensional invasion.

If you do nothing, the NPCs you've befriended will die in this invasion.

Can you give up a place you've worked hard for for several years or even longer?

Their intentions are malicious!

Moreover, for Tan He, this imperfect story is even more cruel.

82% progress.
