Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"I only have one request: make my sand sculpture bigger. Hmm... no, I have another request: make the little girl look like she's lying down."

“This…” Mo Shahe hesitated.

"Don't worry, I have money!"

An Qianqian patted her chest confidently.

An Ran gave her the money in small amounts, and apart from spending some on food, An Qianqian saved the rest.

"You can come and pick it up in three hours, the deposit..."

"Give!"

An Qianqian paid 30% of the amount, and then took Maqi to shop in other places.

She walked ahead, while Maggie, just like when she was with An Ran, always lagged behind An Qianqian by half a step.

"Do you know why I asked that uncle to make Ella's sand sculpture smaller?" An Qianqian suddenly turned to look at Maggie.

Maggie was completely confused.

Actually, she's in much better shape now, unlike at the beginning when she was completely unable to think and could only foolishly follow the instructions of the two-faced mind.

This is one of the reasons why An Qianqian was willing to bring her out; otherwise, it would be too boring, like being a wooden stake.

But this time, An Qianqian was still going to be disappointed.

Maggie looked confused and didn't seem to care about her question at all.

"The answer is of course..."

He's going to outshine Ella!

call--

An Qianqian let out a huff.

Although it's no longer a wooden stake, being a silent gourd isn't much better.

She decided not to talk to Maggie anymore; it was just asking for trouble!

Walking ahead, An Qianqian led Maqi out of the gates of the Time-Space City.

She's going to wander around the commercial districts outside to see if there's anything good to eat; just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Three hours is neither a long nor a short time; it passed in the blink of an eye, and An Qianqian returned with Ma Qi, laden with their spoils.

In the settlement, the two of them were so ordinary except for their appearance.

The person most people around here see is Heloise. Even Anran and Ella have only met her a few times, let alone An Qianqian and Maqi, who never show their faces.

"Hehe, it's rare to have a chance to go out and have some fun."

As An Qianqian walked with a smile to the vicinity of the entrance, she saw a person wearing a loose robe walking around near the Time-Space City, looking somewhat eerie.

He was positioned out of the surveillance cameras' view, standing on the sandy ground shrouded in dark clouds, as if contemplating the meaning of life.

“Suspicious person!” An Qianqian muttered to herself.

Many people will come to the vicinity of the Time-Space City to observe, but not many will stand there and contemplate life.

An Qianqian was about to take two steps forward when her shoulder was suddenly pressed down.

She turned around and saw Maggie shaking her head at her.

I'll go take a look.

Maggie continued to shake her head.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?" An Qianqian looked at Maqi, who was usually a bit silly, with a puzzled expression.

This sudden serious expression reminded her of An Ran when she was angry.

"wrong……"

"Are you trying to say something's not right?"

“Mm.” Maggie nodded.

"Something's not right," An Qianqian asked, puzzled.

What's wrong?

Maggie froze for a moment, wondering how to express her thoughts.

An Qianqian was getting anxious.

"Yes Yes……"

correct.

Maggie suddenly pointed to her head.

"Something's not right here."

An Qianqian's eyes lit up: "You mean he has something wrong with his head?"

Maggie shook her head.

"I……"

That's ridiculous.

An Qianqian was so angry that she wanted to stand upside down and bury herself in the sand.

I can't continue this conversation.

"Never mind, let Sister Heloise handle this kind of thing."

She had to hurry and pick up her custom-made sand sculpture.

It's not that there's something wrong with your brain, it's...it's...

Maggie thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable word to describe it.

Anran told her to use her brain more, but even with more brainpower, she couldn't come up with anything.

Seeing that An Qianqian no longer insisted on going over, Maqi gave up thinking and continued to obediently follow behind An Qianqian.

They had only taken two steps when the suspicious-looking person suddenly appeared in their path.

He was a lean man.

His facial features are quite ordinary, without any distinctive features that would make him memorable at first glance.

The loose robe made him look almost identical to a sand-digging man.

However, An Qianqian felt a little uneasy about his eyes.

Like stars.

It was pitch black, like a deep ocean trench.

"Can I ask you something?" the man said.

"Ah..." Maggie opened her mouth slightly.

Her hand rested on An Qianqian's shoulder again.

My body tensed up involuntarily.

An Qianqian also sensed the abnormality in Ma Qi's body.

Although she is young, as a race that relies on its body for a living, An Qianqian has an innate talent for perceiving changes in body shape, a talent that even An Ran cannot match.

“We’re busy, you should ask someone else,” An Qianqian said cautiously.

She pulled Maggie along, trying to go around her.

"Just one question."

The man followed relentlessly.

It's so annoying.

An Qianqian really wanted to punch him away, but considering that Ma Qi, who was even stronger than her, also seemed so nervous, she didn't make a move.

"I'm in a hurry, I don't have time to talk to you."

The man quickly said, "I just wanted to ask where all those strangers in the Time-Space City went. You're from the Time-Space City, right?"

"..."

"Who knows where those people went?" An Qianqian said impatiently.

Don't tell me she doesn't know; even if she did, why would she tell someone she has no connection with?

Don't underestimate me just because I'm young; I know a lot!

Go back and let Sister Heloise deal with you.

He's acting suspiciously; he's clearly not a respectable person.

"It seems you don't want to talk anymore. What about you?" The man's gaze fell on Maggie again.

"..."

What could Maggie say?

In the end, all that was met was silence.

"Hey."

The man sighed.

"We've come at the worst possible time. I never expected all the strangers in the city to suddenly disappear, and even the city gates are now heavily guarded."

I seem to be feeling a bit down.

However, he quickly cheered up: "But we can't just leave empty-handed. Since we can't find any opportunities, let's just collect some interest."

Danger.

The blast of cold air made An Qianqian shiver.

She instinctively reached out to block it, but a dark shadow flashed before her eyes, and Maggie, who had been behind her just moments before, suddenly appeared.

Then she noticed that her Shenzhou tablet had been pushed, and she fell flat on her bottom with a thud.
