Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Ella looked up at the sky.

The scorching sunlight didn't make her blink, but even so, because the sunlight obscured the starlight, Ella could only see the sky, which was still very blue today.

It was crystal clear and blue.

She didn't see anything, but Ella suddenly began to dream about the starry sea that Anran had mentioned.

……

"Why haven't they arrived yet? Are they lying?" The leader of the charge checked the time; it was already 8:10.

Zhou Jieyu rolled her eyes: "Dude, you've already accepted the mission, do you still think you're in the real world?"

“…Hmm, you make a good point.” The leader nodded.

This can be considered signing a contract with an NPC, right? I've never heard of an NPC standing me up after I accept a quest in a game.

As he was deep in thought, leading the charge, Zhou Jieyu suddenly tugged at his arm.

"I'm coming!"

"Where?" The leader of the charge looked up.

Zhou Jieyu said, "At the intersection."

After saying that, she ran excitedly towards An Ran without waiting for the leader to speak.

In her eyes, Anran has become a walking encyclopedia of experience!

An Ran also saw Zhou Jieyu running over excitedly, carrying a large bag.

In her eyes, Zhou Jieyu had transformed into a walking ATM!

"Did you bring the things?" An Ran asked.

“I’ll bring it…” Zhou Jieyu said with a grin.

But as soon as she uttered the word "bring," her eyes suddenly widened. It turned out that Ella, who had been hiding behind An Ran, had stepped forward and was looking at Zhou Jieyu with curious eyes.

"Okay, okay, so cute!" Zhou Jieyu was stunned, and the bag in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" The leader of the charge stepped forward.

He patted Zhou Jieyu on the shoulder, but paused for a moment when he saw Ella.

"..."

What an adorable little girl.

He led the charge, then glanced at his younger sister, covered his face, and felt a huge gap between them!

That's the power of Ella.

An Ran chuckled to herself.

She could already see the money rolling into Ella's pockets.

Marketing can be very simple.

It has to be said that Colin's genes are really strong. He has such a lovely daughter. Thinking about it, although I'm a little jealous, Colin is still quite good-looking.

"Come back to your senses!"

Anran said.

"oh oh."

Zhou Jieyu shook her head and quickly handed the plastic bag to An Ran.

There are a total of 117 regular mung bean cakes and 58 regular osmanthus cakes.

"I have 108 regular mung bean cakes and 63 regular osmanthus cakes here," the leader said, handing over his own bag.

so much.

There are a total of 225 regular mung bean cakes and 121 regular osmanthus cakes.

These two must have been making cakes all night.

As An Ran took the bag, Zhou Jieyu and the leader of the charge automatically received a notification that the mission was completed.

Zhou Jieyu was overjoyed to have gained several hundred experience points.

money!

Anran happily handed the two bags of pastries to Ella.

The cakes are ready, but we still need customers to come.

The beginning is always the hardest, but once you get the first customer, everything else is easy.

An Ran glanced at Zhou Jieyu, then suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "By the way, could you do me another favor?"

"What is it?" Zhou Jieyu asked.

An Ran blinked: "When I set up my stall later, you just pretend to be a customer and buy a mung bean cake, then loudly shout out the benefits of this cake."

"Huh?" Zhou Jieyu exclaimed in surprise.

Isn't this a shill?

"How is it?" An Ran asked.

“Okay.” Zhou Jieyu nodded; it wasn’t a big deal.

"Favorability from Anran +1".

Zhou Jieyu was overjoyed when she suddenly received the game notification.

Chapter 19 The Poorly Acted Stooge

The number of players gathered at the entrance of Jiuge has increased compared to yesterday.

Most of the players who came to Twin Moon City gathered here. Although the faction system had just been launched, it had already attracted everyone's attention.

Compared to solo players, joining a faction gives players a clearer goal and eliminates the need to spend time and effort searching for quests.

After browsing the forums, An Ran had a general understanding of the situation regarding this assessment instance.

After the Morning Star Rebels' attack on Twin Moon City ended, players flocked to Twin Moon City, and at this time, Twin Moon City's security department and Jiuge discovered an opportunity.

They tried to recruit this group of strange "outsiders" to fight against the stars, but they set a threshold for this recruitment, which was set up in this copy at 97 Qiuyang Road.

A virtual counter-terrorism exercise!

Players will enter a virtual space after putting on a special headband.

In this space, players will take on the role of a security force soldier whose opponents are the Morning Star resistance fighters who have suddenly stormed into the village.

This dungeon can only be cleared by successfully eliminating all the resistance fighters.

The reward for clearing the dungeon is 3000 experience points and the opportunity to join the Security Department. There is also a chance that you will be noticed by Jiuge and join this mysterious special agent organization.

The 3000 experience points alone are enough to entice players to join the game, not to mention that this is a prerequisite quest for joining a faction.

Therefore, An Ran was not surprised at all to see hundreds of players gathered at the entrance of Jiuge.

Unless a hidden quest can be found, joining a faction is currently the best way for players to have a better gaming experience.

Players are too weak; since they can't influence the course of the story, they can only join in.

……

No. 123 Qiuyang Road.

A handcart suddenly appeared next to the research and development center.

Two girls, one big and one small, stood next to the stroller.

Under the girl's guidance, the little girl placed two large bags on the cart's counter and then took out many green and pale yellow pastries from the cart.

This move immediately attracted the attention of some players who had nothing better to do.

"I'll hang this sign up here later. Ella just needs to collect the money."

Anran took out a piece of cardboard, wrote the price of the pastries on it, and then hung it directly on the front of the trolley.

Keep things simple.

The platform was set up quickly.

Next, I taught Ella how to sell things.

Anran chattered on and on: "#@%&#￥@..."

"Mmm-hmm-hmm." Ella nodded repeatedly.

"If the other party doesn't pay, never resort to physical violence. Just shout 'Someone bought something but won't pay!'" An Ran advised.

While having Ella physically assault the player is the most efficient method, at this stage, no player can withstand a full combo of Ella's punches.

But Anran still remembered Colin's warning: never let Ella reveal her unusual nature.

Come to think of it, this place is sandwiched between the R&D center and Jiuge, and Aila might end up being captured and studied.

“Oh,” Ella replied, indicating she understood.

“Here, take this.” Anran handed Ella the “Golden Legend” that Gray had given her. “If anything happens, just take this to find me there. You can just talk to the guard.”

An Ran pointed to the security guard at the R&D center.

"Ah."

An Ran wanted to say something more, but at that moment Zhou Jieyu, who was pretending to be a stooge, walked over.

She immediately put on a friendly smile: "Do you want to buy something?"

"Give me a mung bean cake!" Zhou Jieyu waved her hand.

"..."

An Ran broke out in a cold sweat. "Big sister, your acting is so fake!"

"Isn't ten a bit too many..." An Ran muttered to herself.
