Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Damn it.

That's ruthless.

"and many more!"

An Ran grabbed Juliana's hand.

Can't you speak properly?

"Don't get agitated, I'll believe you for now."

Anran also suspected Ereshki, but considering that Juliana had tampered with her memories, she didn't seem very trustworthy either.

"It was Her Highness who brought me out of the star circle. Everything I have, including my life, was given to me by Her Highness! My loyalty to Her Highness is as clear as day! Anything that threatens Her Highness's life must be eliminated!"

"Is that so?"

An Ran secretly wiped away a bead of sweat.

Looking at the knife still in Juliana's hand, Anran wasn't afraid that Juliana would rush up and attack, but rather that Juliana might impulsively stab herself a couple of times.

Not everyone has the amazing talent of having a gray health bar.

"If Your Highness wishes to regain your memories, I can do it right now!"

"Let's forget about it for now."

I don't know if the memories I retrieved are real or fake.

It would be better if there were no problems at all; then she could investigate things at her own pace.

Qingling and the others must have something to say about Juliana.

There's also Lu Shen Xing (露神星), although a long time has passed and some things are buried deep, it's not necessarily true that nothing can be dug up.

Although Juliana deleted some of her memories, she did not erase them completely.

At least the part she pieced together led to Li Zhuying publishing a book.

I should go to the Star Circle when I have time. It's easier to investigate Juliana's background than the Royal Knights.

"So what are your plans now?" An Ran asked.

Juliana answered without hesitation: "Of course I'll stay by Her Highness's side and continue serving as her chief bodyguard!"

Finally, she added, "If Your Highness doesn't mind!"

"..."

An Ran pondered for a moment. The thought of recruiting a subordinate whose strength was no less than hers was quite exciting. Moreover, she didn't have to worry about Juliana turning against her. Sending her to the Dust Territory would solve the problem.

"Then you can stay."

Upon hearing An Ran's affirmative words, Juliana was so excited that she wanted to give him a bear hug.

Fortunately, An Ran was agile and nimbly dodged her lunge.

"Humph."

Ella gave a disgruntled snort.

What a useless head guard! With An Ran protected by her, that's enough.

These people, one by one, just keep trying to get close to An Ran; they're absolutely wicked.

Filled with excitement, Juliana followed Anran back to the alternate dimension.

At Anran's request, she changed out of her conspicuous guard uniform.

An Ran had no intention of publicizing her connection with the Other Shore Flower Pirates.

She didn't want to be used as a target.

Over the next few days, Baplo returned to calm.

No one was watching, and even if anyone caused trouble, they would be quickly captured by the mechanical puppets.

Baplo's rules are rather simple and straightforward.

A fine!

Go to jail!

The most serious cases involved execution by burning lanterns in the sky, as a way to warn the public.

In this special place, there are no "innocent people".

It's impossible to say that the hands of sand diggers, adventurers, assassins, and star hunters are completely clean.

This is good news for some players.

[Great news! Great news! The new building constructed between the main city and the branch city of the Hyperdimensional City is a branch of the Mechanicus!]

[Wait, does this mean that all players who have switched to the Mechanic class can now switch to a special class?]

[I cried because I wanted to switch to the Ether Mechanic class, but due to the Mechanic Guild's suppression, all the people from the Holy See left.]

[Technical Post: What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Ethereal Mechanic versus the regular Mechanic?]

[The Hyperspace Realm is practically a holy grail for mechanical classes, I, Teemo, rave about it!]

[The shabby Mechanic Guild has set ridiculously high contribution points for learning new blueprints, and they won't even let you exchange for rare blueprints. For unlucky players like me, the path to crafting is already blocked. It's simply unplayable with this system.]

"The strangers are so enthusiastic!" Tan Lu exclaimed in surprise as she watched the players walking around the construction site.

Construction robots are the main force, but players who have accepted the missions are even more efficient.

They worked tirelessly to gain experience.

The more of these quest cycles you complete, the higher your quest rating will be, and the greater the rewards you'll receive.

No one was willing to slack off, fearing that others would finish the task faster.

What's 996?

They really did what 007 did!

Enron's capitalist nature is evident.

They've tried every possible way to squeeze the value out of players, and the most crucial thing is that players seem to enjoy it.

Well, actually they don't feel tired at all.

A data-driven body can replenish its stamina with stimulants if needed.

"Therefore, ordinary people should not imitate this; health is the most important thing."

The members of the Warhammer Guild were especially enthusiastic, with Guild Leader Warhammer leading the charge at the construction site!

"Strive for two 15-day periods to realize the grand blueprint of becoming stronger across time and space!"

"ANR is already so amazing, we can't let it down!"

"Let those trolls on the forum be smug for now. One day, our Warhammer Guild will storm into the ranks of one-star guilds with unparalleled might!"

All of the above.

“Of course, all the nearly 100,000 strangers in the entire hyperspace follow Anran’s orders!” Ella said proudly.

Tan Lu nodded silently.

She had previously wanted to settle scores with An Ran.

But seeing the gap between the two of them now, she immediately chickened out.

A voice inside me was saying, "Sister Lu, forget it."

Then forget it.

Tan Lu thought of it.

She felt that she was simply following good advice.

Can a mechanic's actions be considered acting from the heart?

Obviously not.

What happened next greatly changed Tan Lu's opinion of An Ran.

"Warmest congratulations on the official establishment of the branch of the Mechanicus in Papulo!"

On the day the church officially opened to the public.

Even the aerial trains used for sightseeing carry such promotional slogans.

"An Ran put her heart into it!"

"She must have had some unavoidable difficulties in leaving without leaving a letter."

"An Ran is already doing her best to make it up to me."

"She even risked her own safety to save the Vatican."

"Now, in order to help promote the Vatican, they've even launched a limited-time discount program."

I cried!

o (╥﹏╥) o

Tan Lu was deeply moved.

"Since that's the case, I can't let everyone down. I'll take root in Bapulo and make sure the influence of the Holy See is maximized!" Tan Lu secretly made up her mind.

Nothing in this world is difficult if you set your mind to it!

"It's gone up! It's gone up!"

"Wow, that's already surpassed the average sales of the past week!"

"Don't worry, it's only been half an hour!"

“Pharmaceutical sales are double what they were in the past few weeks,” Erin reported calmly.

She spearheaded the development of various drugs across time and space.

Recently, thanks to money and good benefits, the drug research institution has attracted a lot of talent, making it easy to handle the daily consumption of players. They spend the rest of their time focusing on the research of Void Demons.

"Ah, I wish every day could be like this."
