Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Phew~" An Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

If there's a solution, then things are much easier.

“We just need to feed her the Void Elixir, but if we give her the rest, the experiment might have to be stopped if something goes wrong.” Erin stared at An Ran. “Are you willing?”

"What's there to say? Just give it to her and let's not waste any more time."

Who do you think I am?!

I'm perfectly fine!

It's just a bottle of Void Elixir. We can just steal something even stronger later, right?

"Since you've put it that way, I naturally have no objections."

The remaining half bottle of Void Elixir was poured directly into Machi's body.

The physical enhancement gave Machi extremely strong resistance for a short period of time, so her body wouldn't be worn down by the toxins, and Erin also had time to analyze the composition of the poison.

Developing a complete antidote would be very difficult, but after being strengthened, Machi's physical attributes are now close to those of a void creature.

It's just that it's too weak; otherwise, it could have easily digested all that poison.

The void is immune to poison.

"Because he was originally a mental ability user, his mental attributes increased dramatically while his body was strengthened. Even after drinking only half a bottle, he instantly reached level 70."

After looking at Maggie's stats, Anran was quite satisfied.

Based on individual strength rankings, the strongest in the current time-space dimension is Ella, followed by her, then Erin, and finally Machi.

What pleased Anran the most was that the long list of negative statuses following Maqi's name had now been reduced to only [Lurking Toxin] and [Superficial Coma].

The mental disorder is gone, which means Maggie's mental state has returned to normal?

This was a completely unexpected delight.

and many more!

An Ran suddenly realized that either she had killed Fitch, Reno, and the others, or she was implicated. If Maggie's mental state returned to normal…

It's actually not a very easy problem to solve.

Even if she has a double heart, the level of mind control she has isn't actually that high. Who knows how useful it will be? Maybe Machi could break free on her own by now.

The game is also very realistic. Such low-level methods will definitely become less and less effective as the MPC level increases. If it can still control star-level powerhouses, then what's the point of playing for others?

Affection rating isn't that useful anymore, is it?

The game still encourages players to use legitimate means to increase their favorability and recruit others.

Despite her worries, Maggie had raised Anran for so long, and she certainly couldn't bear to kill her.

But if we just release her, Machi's background is not simple. If she returns to the capital and seeks out her family's power, the Dimensional Realm really won't be able to withstand it.

Or maybe I should pretend I'm not An Ran, and she might not remember?

But if she remembers... emmm... maybe it's better to imprison her...

An Ran helplessly scratched her hair.

This is difficult.

She turned around and suddenly realized that Maggie had opened her eyes.

He stared blankly at her, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

"You're awake!"

"Master, Master...Where am I...?" Maggie asked An Ran with a blank look on her face.

Ok?

Has he not yet recovered his spirits?

That's impossible! Even the medical technology in the game can't compare to the system's verification!

The only remaining negative status effect is poisoning.

An Ran suddenly understood.

Maggie is faking it!

She recovered, but was even more at a loss as to how to face herself.

However, the favorability rating doesn't lie; it fluctuates between 40, 50, and 60.

Anyway, it's more than just friends.

Avoiding the problem will only prolong the suffering.

Anran looked at Maggie with a serious expression.

"Face yourself honestly, stop pretending."

Maggie remained bewildered. She was not a talkative person to begin with, and was "not quick-witted" and unable to understand what others were saying.

You're still pretending.

Anran decides to use her special skill against Machi.

She reached out and placed her hand on Maggie's shoulder.

"Oh dear, you've been lying in bed for three days without a shower. You must be feeling very uncomfortable. Let me help you."

An Ran started to take action.

Starting with taking off clothes, and using taking off clothes to deepen feelings, makes perfect sense.

Maggie was finally moved.

"No, there's no need to trouble Master."

She twisted her body twice, trying to break free from An Ran's grasp.

The clothes had been pulled down, exposing the shoulders, with only two straps still hanging there.

"It's okay, it's fine. I was just thinking of taking a shower anyway, so we can be completely naked together!"

An Ran gave herself a thumbs up for her double entendre: How can you be so smart, and so good-looking too!

No wonder she has 11 points of charm even when dressed up!

Maggie is confused.

Despite being shorter than her, An Ran easily carried her into the bathroom in a princess carry.

Stop! Stop it now!

Don't touch there!

The fact that Maggie hadn't taken off her outer clothes immediately reminded her of her humiliating past.

We can't handle it at all.

She sighed and had no choice but to give in to An Ran's wishes.

“I admit I’ve returned to normal!” Maggie said.

That settles it.

Anran stopped.

"Take a shower first, and then we'll be completely honest with each other!"

Anran summoned a housekeeping robot in the form of a maid to help Maggie, and then went out first.

That evening, the two opened up to each other, spoke frankly and openly, and shared their innermost feelings.

A scene of harmony.

The thing Anran had worried about didn't happen, and Maggie was relieved.

Amid a series of setbacks, some new hope was found.

I don't know if it's because of my two-faced nature.

Life is like that.

Anran looked at Maggie, who was sleeping soundly due to exhaustion. Erin should be able to cure her in a few days.

This incident made An Ran realize many shortcomings of time travel.

Since there are no major events during this period, it's a good time to deal with things one by one.

Improving the strength and durability of the combat suits was just one small part of the process; it was only natural to transport all the shipyard's equipment to Dolphin Star for reconstruction.

After some time, when players were taken out of service for the 1.6 version update, Anran's actions continued.

To attract more players, it's not enough to just let them experience the benefits of Time-Space; ideally, Time-Space should also offer things that other places don't, and things that other places don't offer.

Anran sent representatives to the Assassin's Ladder and the Star Hunter Guild.

An Ran wanted to inquire who issued the assassination mission, but the other party was very discreet and did not reveal it. This was not unexpected for An Ran, after all, the assassin ladder is not a small fry.

Her main objective was to invite the two organizations to open branches in Baplo.

“Baplow is now the most promising place in the North, a true transportation hub, and a place that countless strangers yearn for!”

"If we're making money, let's all make it together!"

The negotiation process was not difficult; the Star Hunter Guild and the Assassin's Ladder actually had the same idea.

After An Ran said a few words, everyone started taking action.

The location was chosen in a branch city of the Time-Space Empire, some distance from the main city. This was taken into consideration for security, as well as the fact that players would incur additional transportation costs if the location was further away...

Ahem, this is a good opportunity to expand the development of transportation vehicles, and incidentally, sell the newly built vehicles based on the blueprints.

So when version 1.6 was released and players re-entered the game, they found that the Time Rift had undergone a major change.

Every day is different, and every day brings a good mood.

The arrival of the Hunter's Guild and the Assassin's Ladder has expanded the number of quests available to players, which is a real benefit for players. What's wrong with charging a little transportation fee?

By the way, the shipping industry has finally shown some signs of improvement.

You all become stronger, I make money, and everyone is happy!
