Poverty makes me capable of anything.

“It’s okay, I have money!” Zhou Jieyu shouted.

This move attracted even more players.

"..."

I should have let the one who led the charge be the shill; he seems to be a more reliable adult male.

While An Ran was speaking, Ella skillfully packed ten mung bean cakes and handed them to Zhou Jieyu.

Zhou Jieyu handed over 30 pieces of liquor.

Ella stuffed it into her pocket before she could grab it.

Zhou Jieyu grabbed a mung bean cake and stuffed it into her mouth. She had no manners when she ate; she chewed a few times and swallowed the mung bean cake.

"Wow! This pastry can actually restore stamina!" Zhou Jieyu exclaimed in surprise.

That's so awkward.

An Ran couldn't help but want to cover her face, but she managed to hold it in.

Even bad movies need an ending.

However, An Ran was clearly overthinking things.

Do players feel that there are players acting as shills for NPCs?

of course not.

They just thought "leading the escape" was a silly and cute player.

The pastry stall owners are cute young girls and adorable lolis.

And the pastries from the pastry stall can restore your stamina!

What are we waiting for?

－＝≡ヘ(*?ω?)ノ

Run!

"Don't push! Holy crap, why are you pushing?!"

How much stamina can one mung bean cake restore?

"Who cares? I'm rich too, give me 10 first!"

"Madam, could I have your contact information?"

"Madam, are you hiring here?"

"Get out of here! Boss lady, your daughter is so cute!"

An Ran's forehead was marked with a grid pattern.

"Not hiring a boss? How about hiring a son-in-law?"

“It’s not Mom, it’s my sister!” Ella said sternly.

"They're not mother and daughter, thumbs down!"

"Sisters are great too, you bunch of idiots."

"Who are you calling an idiot?"

Out of consideration for Ella's increasingly bulging pockets, An Ran simply ignored what the players were saying.

Just as the crowd was getting crowded, a player with the name "Monster Mountain Man" walked into Jiuge. Her act of cutting in line did not attract the attention of others.

……

Zhou Jieyu was pushed to the outside of the line early on, and her mung bean cake almost fell out of the bag.

Looking at the thick crowd, Zhou Jieyu was extremely satisfied with her acting skills.

I, Miss Zhou, am also a talented actress, and I'm destined to make a name for myself in "Night of Stars"!

Zhou Jieyu counted the nine mung bean cakes she still had in her hand. She would return the cakes later and get her money back as well.

After squatting there for more than ten minutes, Zhou Jieyu finally saw the crowd disperse.

She stood up and glanced around.

"Ok?"

An Ran has disappeared?

Behind the handcart stood a little girl who was barely taller than the cart's platform.

Ella is carefully stacking the coins into a string.

"..."

Are we just going to go find this little girl and ask her to get our money back?

Zhou Jieyu hesitated.

Watching Ella count the money, I always felt that if I did the same, I would be doing something very cruel.

"..."

Let's just pretend that money didn't exist, and let's just pretend I really went to buy mung bean cakes.

Zhou Jieyu turned around.

I picked up a mung bean cake and took a bite.

The mung bean cakes I made myself were really delicious.

(?_?)

Be strong!

Chapter 20 You, you spendthrift woman

"1 kg of steel, 0 kg of copper, plus a small amount of alloy."

Anran picked out the amount she needed from the pile of metal in the corner.

When she arrived in the morning, she found that the metal that had been used up in the corner had "returned".

Gray's service is quite thoughtful.

"As expected of a micro-transmission system, it only requires so little material to make."

An Ran sighed, then continued working, following the instructions on the blueprints, to begin constructing the "micro-transmission system".

The so-called micro-transmission system is like a simple little car that can travel a distance of tens of meters after being wound up. If you put a time bomb on it, it might have a surprising effect.

The production of bombs must be put on the agenda.

The money Ella earned is enough to buy a lot of raw materials.

"Ding! You have successfully created the [Micro Transmission System] and gained 160 experience points."

"Ding! You have successfully crafted the [Mechanical Spinner] and gained 200 experience points."

"Ding! You have successfully created..."

Half a morning passed, and Anran successfully accumulated more than 2000 experience points.

There are still more than 1 needed to upgrade.

At the current rate, it will probably take about a week to reach the [Junior Mechanic] level, which is a pretty good pace.

After packing her things, An Ran walked out of the underground workshop.

Upon meeting Gray, An Ran was not stingy this time and paid the material fee directly.

The 300 pesos still made Anran feel a little heartbroken for a moment.

As I walked out of the R&D center, the security guard still looked lazy and listless.

Anran, concerned for Ella, quickly walked out.

She shifted her gaze to the left and saw Ella standing motionless in front of the cart, while opposite the cart stood a person trying to get Ella's attention.

There was a girl next to that man, who was holding onto his arm, seemingly trying to pull him away.

There are words on its head.

It's obviously a player.

The name was simply obscured by the canopy of the handcart.

"..."

Holy crap, he actually came over and harassed Ella right in front of the girl!

Anran walked over quickly.

Only after getting closer did she see the IDs of the two players clearly.

"Naiko Knight" and "Qing Shuang".

"..."

"Anran, he's so noisy!" Ella saw Anran and immediately pointed at the Naizi Knight. "Can I hit him?"

"Click—"
