Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Boss." At this moment, the other three members of their team quietly walked over.

"You were so embarrassing just now, we're too ashamed to say we know you."

"Knight Boss, you're a real freak! But I like it!"

"..."

"You have really heavy tastes. The boss is at least a perverted lolicon, and you're a lolicon."

"..."

Anran watched the noisy group of five leave.

By this time, there were no more people gathered around, but the other side of the road was still bustling, with many people secretly glancing in their direction.

But An Ran completely ignored them.

To be an NPC, you need to be thick-skinned; otherwise, how can you interact with so many players?

"Ella, how much money did we make this time?" Anran steered the conversation to what she cared about.

"It totals 1280 pesos, with 78 coins and 10 banknotes."

After saying that, Ella took out all the money from her pocket and handed it to Anran.

It's out...

An Ran's eyes were like those of an extra-large wattage light bulb.

In just one morning, I actually earned more than half a month's salary.

She happily accepted the money, then picked out ten 10-dollar coins and gave them to Ella: "This is your allowance."

Ella took the coins, stacked the ten coins together, looked at them in front of her eyes, and then suddenly opened her mouth and took a bite.

Holy crap—

An Ran was startled, but it was too late to stop them. She could only take a step to the side to block the players' view.

"Click, click, click—"

"Crunch, crunch—" Ella chewed a few times and swallowed the coins.

Trembling...

Anran's hands were trembling.

My heart suddenly raced, my blood pressure spiked, and I suddenly felt dizzy.

Anran knew she was ill and saw the various complications that resulted from the money being wasted.

"What's wrong?" Ella looked at Anran with a puzzled expression.

"You, you, you actually ate the money!" An Ran said in a trembling voice.

"Can't I eat this?" Ella asked doubtfully. "But I'm a little hungry. Anran, could you give me some more?"

You still want more!

Do you know how much of your usual food could be bought with this money?

"I don't know." Ella shook her head.

“That money is enough for you to have 20 proper meals!” Anran’s heart was bleeding.

Such a waste.

"So many?" Ella was shocked by An Ran's statement.

A rare look of surprise appeared on his face.

The emotion she usually displays is "curiosity".

"20. That's enough for 7 days!" Fortunately, Ella didn't go and count on her fingers like a little cutie.

"You ate seven days' worth of food money in one go." An Ran covered her face. Fine, from now on, she'll only give Ella paper money. Paper money isn't in Ella's diet.

What a spendthrift woman!

100 pirox, 100 pirox, 100 pirox...

An Ran suddenly turned around and stopped a passing player: "Hey bro, wanna buy a knife?"

"Huh?" The player looked at An Ran, who had suddenly walked up to him, with a surprised expression.

She's a rather cute female NPC.

But what kind of operation is it to sell knives?

Anran had already put on the shop hat.

"Mechanical spring knife, 150 per knife, but since it's our first day, how about 140?"

An Ran pulled out a mechanical slingshot knife that she hadn't put away from her backpack.

The player swallowed hard and instinctively took a step back, feeling like he was being robbed.

But after opening the store, he realized he had misunderstood.

"Anran's Secret Shop".

[Alloy short knife: 100 Bilu]

[Mechanical Spinner: 150 Biru]

[1886 Hermit Pistol: 200 pirouettes]

……

"Well--"

He looks inexplicably fierce.

But he really is a businessman.

"Want to buy a knife? It's top-of-the-line! It can extend and retract, perfect for sneak attacks and murders, an essential for home and travel!" An Ran repeated.

"..." The player broke out in a cold sweat as he glanced at the description of the mechanical parry knife.

140 points seems to be a powerful melee weapon.

"Okay, then, I'll buy one." After hesitating for a moment, the player took out his money.

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

140 was obtained, but Anran still felt heartbroken.

"Anran, did I do something wrong?" Ella asked Anran as she walked back, her head bowed.

"This……"

An Ran was about to say something, but when she saw Ella with her head down and looking like she was admitting her mistake, she suddenly couldn't say anything.

Although spending money like that is indeed quite wasteful.

But there are many things Ella doesn't understand, and many twists and turns happen during her upbringing.

"Let's go back and have lunch first."

I put my things down there.

Anran pushed the cart, and Ella followed behind, the two of them walking back.

"Affection from Ella +3".

An Ran was stunned for a moment, and the feeling of pain in her heart was instantly swept away.

……

However, upon arriving at Eudora's house, Anran received devastating news.

"I heard that No. 27 Sicha Road was set on fire last night, and the house was burned to the ground."

No. 27, Sicha Road?

Emmm...

I rub.

An Ran suddenly jumped up. She said, "Why does this sound so familiar? Isn't No. 27 Sicha Road her home?"

Someone set it on fire, and it was burned to the ground?

Nima.

Even if it's a dilapidated house, you can still sell it for 1 pesos if you want to.

An Ran immediately took off running outside.

She suddenly stopped when she reached the door.

Not right.

Her house was set on fire, and she hasn't been bothered by many people lately.

Aside from Leonard, there are only Morningstar's people.

If this is retaliation from Morning Star, then running back now would be suicide.

An Ran's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

It's highly likely that the people from Morning Star have arrived again.

Chapter 21 "Advanced" Materials

Morning Star.

These two words kept flashing through An Ran's mind.

Her favorability rating with Morning Star is currently -100. They have clashed intentionally or unintentionally more than once or twice. Although she has always come out on top, things can't always go so smoothly.

Morningstar is a huge organization, and she is just a "weak, pitiful and helpless" apprentice mechanic.

Unless Anran reaches the level of an intermediate mechanic, she will not be qualified to stand on the stage.

If An Ran were to confront Chen Xing head-on when her level was lower than his, she would only be doomed.
