Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Olivia suppressed her anger.

"Then hurry up and contact that stranger."

“I can’t get in touch with them,” Richie said helplessly.

"..."

What use are you then!

"I don't know how those strangers are doing now. I think even I've been targeted, so they're probably..."

"okay."

Olivia waved her hand dismissively, knowing he was unreliable: "Butler."

Olivia summoned the old butler and immediately gave the orders.

“Go investigate the area around Visa’s residence and see which mansions Visa has visited recently.”

"Yes, young master."

The old butler withdrew.

"Then we..."

Richie looked at Olivia.

"Of course we'll wait for the results, otherwise what else do you want to do?"

Olivia snorted at Richie.

Richie looked sullen.

Asking others for favors is indeed unreliable, but he had no choice. He couldn't afford to do it himself, as he was no match for Visa in any way, a fact he had to admit.

Even if you wanted to ask your parents for a favor, that wouldn't work.

The Minister of Industry has no way of controlling a family that wields significant power in both the political and military spheres.

Feeling depressed, Richie left Olivia's house.

He came out as soon as the old butler left.

"..."

Anran, who had been idly swinging her legs on the roof of a nearby building for several hours, finally saw two groups of people come out one after the other.

He immediately abandoned the idea of ​​following them personally.

There are three places to keep an eye on.

The reformers should really thank her; she did half the work by herself.

"I'll leave that to you, Ella!"

"Yeah, let the ones who led the escape deal with Richie. Richie's no good, they'll be fine handling him."

On the special channel, An Ran made arrangements for the matter.

Anran felt at ease sending Ella to investigate the old butler who had left at the beginning.

As for Richie, An Ran was actually a little worried, but sending Zhou Jieyu and the others, who were players, over was perfectly fine; they might even be able to further escalate the conflict.

"There are some things that are better left unknown. If we knew them, we would have no choice but to treat you all like dungeons to be cleared."

……

Task!

"Another mission!"

"Whether it's tracking and gathering intelligence, or breaking through to rescue hostages, I'm good at it all!"

Zhou Jieyu confidently took the lead.

Once outside, they took a taxi straight to Richie, who was driving aimlessly around Aistar.

Chapter 17 If you don't court death, you won't die.

The destination was a leisure venue on the second floor of Aixing.

When Sister Zhou and her group arrived, they were greeted by a robot waiter standing at the door.

This place was originally a venue for elite members of the planet Aistar, but the situation changed after players arrived on Aistar in large numbers.

They have also become the default guests at most venues.

There's nothing we can do about it.

These players are far more terrifying than locusts and are not to be trifled with.

If you can be resurrected after dying, who can withstand that?

Unless a powerful regime kicks the player out directly.

"It doesn't seem that different from the real world," the leader muttered to himself.

He had just stepped his right foot across the threshold when he suddenly noticed a cold, sinister gaze on his back.

"..."

He turned around stiffly as he led the charge, only to find that the source of the gaze was his own sister.

stare--

His face was as cold as ice.

"Brother, you come to places like this too?" Zhou Jieyu said quietly.

So cold.

Li Zhuying and Lin Yumo quietly retreated to the side.

They could understand where Zhou Jieyu's intimidating gaze came from.

To be precise, although this place is very high-end, it is still a good place to work out.

Zhou Jieyu would have refused if it weren't for the mission requirements.

She's still a homebody at heart, so naturally she'll reject this place.

"How could that be? Someone else told me, that's how I found out," the leader of the charge said with a forced smile.

“Someone told you that…” Zhou Jieyu nodded. “I’ll tell Sister Qing later.”

"No..." the leader of the charge quickly said.

Zhou Jieyu's gaze was brooding: "The pocket money that was deducted!"

"I'll return it to you right away," the leader of the charge immediately assured him.

"Remember your words."

"How could I forget?"

"..."

Something seems off.

Lin Yumo blinked.

Before they knew it, they had already taken their seats.

By chance.

Turning around, I saw Richie, with a few beads of sweat on his forehead, straightening his wrinkled collar as he walked out of the private room.

He was followed by several attendants, dressed in black, with cold expressions.

"found it!"

Li Zhuying's eyes widened.

Anran's monitoring system reported that Richie arrived here fifteen minutes earlier than them.

high speed.

"Bring me some drinks."

Richie called to the waiter and then sat down in a nearby shaded seat.

"Leave the rest to me."

Lin Yumo said.

She is a swordsmanship practitioner with exceptionally keen hearing; even at this distance, despite the noise, she can hear everything clearly.

I heard Richie mutter a few words, and then he went to do other things.

However, the conversation coming from another place caught Lin Yumo and the others' attention.

Because they heard a familiar name—

Muguang Entertainment Company.

In the Blue Forest, that's a famous "entertainment giant".

It's definitely not because I've seen their work that I'm so impressed by it.

After all, Zhou Jieyu prefers anime/manga style.

The reason she remembers it clearly is also related to the questionable actions of a certain company in real life.

In order to expand its business, a company that operates the same business as Muguang Entertainment licensed its own works to Muguang Entertainment. The two companies collaborated to earn money from NPCs and then monetized their profits through cooperation with numerous studios within the game.

Sales doubled in just one month!

Of course, this is related to the fact that the industry itself is not very large.

"Hey, we've been here for half a month now, and we still haven't accomplished anything."

Li Zhuying was very familiar with the sighing voice.

In a plaza on the Canyon Continent.

She was about to part ways with An Ran when she happened to run into this guy, who was planning to invite An Ran to act in a movie.
