Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Is it that mech?

But the mech needs to be even bigger.

Before the players could figure it out, An Ran spoke first: "Our Moonlight Sea Mercenary Legion's target this time is the Southwest Shipyard on Black Tide's planet KR211."

What?

An Ran's single sentence left the players who were guessing completely dumbfounded.

Mercenaries?

Attack the Kuroshio?

What's going on?

Nothing explains things better than a task.

The point-scoring mission to attack KR211 was just like the time when thousands of players besieged the giant worm.

Focus on making money, fight for it, and you'll become stronger.

Chapter 13: The Breathtaking Player Impact

The highest reward for the points mission is a portion of experience, a level 65 combat robot, and a temporary captain assessment.

The so-called temporary captain assessment allows players to temporarily become the captain of a spaceship, with an assessment period of one month.

This is a rule that transcends time and space.

In fact, once you enter the assessment period, as long as you don't make any major mistakes within this month, passing the assessment is a sure thing.

Since the Battle of the Star Bastion, players in the Chronosphere have finally seen a glimmer of hope for taking control of a spaceship once again.

Not to mention how much they were looking forward to it.

It's even more exciting than the actual reward for killing enemies.

To this day, most players still remember what was mentioned in the game's early trailers.

Those creatures that can stir up the winds and clouds, can form an army by themselves, dominate all directions, and shatter stars are not unattainable dreams for players.

Every player has the opportunity to reach this level, as long as you have the patience to continue playing Night of the Stars.

Ten years have passed, twenty years have passed...

As versions and maps change, we will continue on this path.

Being able to accompany an online game from its launch to the end of its life cycle is, in retrospect, a significant achievement in the otherwise unremarkable lives of many.

Therefore, we should strive to obtain what we can see.

In games, having enough chances to fail and start over, without any worries, allows you to face the future head-on.

As the saying goes, fearlessness creates heroes!

Even if they were about to face an empire with hundreds of thousands of warships.

In short—

Let's get him!

"We must secure this first place."

Warhammer, the guild leader, clenched his fist.

Unlike other guilds that diversify their investments, Warhammer, after confirming that Chronosphere was a viable faction, placed all its bets on Chronosphere.

He led more than a thousand guild members from the surrounding area to gather in the Time-Space Rift.

The more powerful the time-space manipulation, the more benefits he can obtain.

It is precisely because of this immense stake that Warhammer is determined not to fall behind.

He was going to take a gamble. Warhammer Guild had reached a bottleneck in its development. The only way to take the next step was to completely suppress the established one-star guilds in the professional league or on the leaderboard.

If the gamble pays off and the hyperspace system becomes increasingly powerful, then achieving this goal will not be difficult.

If you lose, you can always start over.

Because they had never stood atop the mountain, Warhammer was not overly cautious.

"Don't worry, President. There are so many of us, we can definitely do it."

"Give it your all!" Warhammer shouted.

Announce your goals in a strong and clear voice to set the tone for your team.

This time it's really going to be a fight. Warhammer knows that its opponents are not only other guilds, but also those European spies lurking in unknown places!

He couldn't possibly kill all his opponents with spears just to eliminate the Europeans.

It's highly likely that after one round of attacks, all the unlucky players will be dead, while the lucky ones will leisurely put down their riot shields, watching the unlucky players shed innocent tears...

Instead of thinking about killing all Europeans, why not become their emperor!

……

The atmosphere at the scene was lively and extraordinary.

The results exceeded Anran's expectations.

Big operation, experience, bonuses, and an opportunity.

Moreover, An Ran did not expect that her deliberate act of "concealing her identity" would actually match the scene in the promotional video.

This mystery only fueled the players' excitement.

Can an NPC who makes it into an official promotional video be anything less than perfect?

"With its enormous development potential and the extremely mysterious ANR, which debuted in the center position in the official promotional video, there must be a series of stories behind it."

Langligelang noted down all the doubts. There were so many secrets to uncover about ANR. As a player who enjoys exploring hidden storylines, ANR is a treasure that cannot be lost.

But he's not high enough up there yet to reach An Ran, let alone investigate her backstory.

"Let's organize it roughly first, and then publish a special report. If I can get into the top three of this column and make a name for myself among players, as players become more and more important, I will have the opportunity to interview ANR directly in the future."

"set off!"

Anran issued the order.

Dolphin Star was just a stepping stone; she didn't say a word to anyone who stayed there.

A fleet consisting of a thousand spaceships is already considered to be of a large scale.

Like countless catkins drifting in the wind, they soar straight into the blue sky.

Amidst a spectacular display of power, the fleet of spaceships burst forth from Dolphin Star, then, after a jump, veered off course and headed towards the Black Tide.

Flanking attacks, infiltration and interception, emphasize surprise and speed.

An Ran was waiting for news from the rebel army on Qianhe Star, so she specially sent a spaceship there.

It carries several players and a responsible NPC, and can transmit messages to the main fleet at any time.

Once the Chizuru Star rebels launch an attack and draw the Imperial army's attention, they will strike at the heart of KR211 as quickly as possible.

A swift victory is crucial to avoid a protracted conflict.

We can't delay any longer.

They were positioned in the rear, and if the Qianhexing uprising's war progressed poorly, the Transdimensional Dimension would become the first target of the Imperial reinforcements.

……

KR211 star.

Planets named with numbers all hold special significance for the Empire.

For example, the expeditionary force's numerical naming series represents newly conquered habitable planets.

Planets numbered KR are all key military locations for the Empire.

It's not that there are no civilians here, but KR211 is indeed quite backward in terms of urban infrastructure.

The buildings are typical of a planetary civilization, and the narrow roads are almost deserted.

There are only five cities like this on the entire planet.

The total population is less than 500,000, some of whom are family members of shipyard employees.

"It's really deserted."

The man, wrapped in thick winter clothes, muttered something under his breath.

He sighed again, thinking that this way, not many people would be able to see his masterpiece.

This is truly... such a pity.

An artist who has created something amazing still hopes that more people will witness the grand performance he has created. How lonely it is for art to be unappreciated.

"There is only one shuttle bus a day to the Southwest Shipyard, and without a written order from a superior, we cannot allow you to take the bus."

The person in charge of the shuttle bus said to the "artist".

"By the way," he added after staring for a while, "Don't overthink it. If you try to cross the wilderness on your own, you'll definitely be detected by the reconnaissance system along the way. The shipyard's defense system is no joke."

"I just wanted to take a look around the outside..."

"You're overthinking it. Military bases aren't places you can just visit whenever you want. Stop dreaming and go play somewhere else."

"..."

The artist turned and left in frustration.

That's about enough.

After leaving the bus stop, he turned directly into the alley between two brick houses.

Leaning against the corner of the wall, he chewed on a blue energy bar, his hands folded in front of his chest.

Sure enough, not long after, he heard a commotion outside.

The clattering sound was the leather shoes stepping on the stone slabs.
