Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"But frequent discounts will definitely reduce the effectiveness."

Anran then thought about it again and felt that this was not a good idea.

"If players have more stock, they won't need to make any more purchases. They'll have to use up all of these items, and then they'll have to spend money even without discounts."

As for their target, Anran has already set her sights on the Dust Territory.

That was her ideal "colony," a colony of the powerful from the position of the subordinate. The key was that she could pretend to be powerful as much as she wanted because of the information asymmetry.

"I'll pretend to be really good at it first, and then as I keep pretending, they'll realize that I really am."

The players were unaware that Anran had taken the money from their pockets and was also eyeing their "savings books".

There's nothing I can do; Anran is really short of money right now.

She had obtained so many blueprints from the Mechanical Church, and she was eager to turn them into physical objects.

For example, the war fortress, a powerful weapon in regional warfare; or tachyon weapons...

Everything costs money.

If An Ran isn't robbing anyone, where will the money come from?

The only options are to get it from Naglia and Black Tide's collaborators, or deduct it from the players.

With 10 players, if each player spends an average of 10, that's 1 billion.

As time goes on, the average spending will increase, and the number of players in the Time-Space Rift will also increase.

Counting money is so much fun!

It's disheartening that this money won't stay in your hands for long.

"No need, no need, I don't have that need."

Anran pushed Juliana, who was trying to warm the bed, out of the room.

This demand is simply too much!

Didn't you see that Ella was unhappy?

"Are you sure you don't need to, Your Highness?"

"No, no, I'm not that delicate. I'm just an ordinary person, not a princess at all."

Juliana nodded silently.

At the same time, she secretly sighed, "The princess has really changed a lot since her rebirth."

The princess used to strictly order everyone to call her princess.

"Oh, right."

Anran called out to Juliana.

"..."

Does Her Highness have another need?

"I'll take you to a very far place the day after tomorrow. I'll tell you the details when we leave."

“Yes.” Juliana nodded.

Huh, you really don't have anything you want to ask?

"Because there is a high possibility of fighting, we still need to be prepared."

"I understand, Your Highness!"

……

Two days later, the first war fortress in the hyperspace was launched into space.

On this celebratory day, Anran led a fleet of over a thousand frigates into hyperspace.

They followed the route straight towards the Dust Realm.

In reality, the situation in the Dust Territory is not very good.

The players and robots from the Time Traveler are still exploring and mining resources on the edge of Hidden Sands, but the Rabbit-Eared Tribe is under greater pressure.

Nearly three months have passed since the last battle.

There were no major conflicts between the Rabbit Ear Tribe and the Business Network Group during this period.

The rabbit-eared tribe found a rare respite, and the living standards of the people improved.

But Shangwang Group couldn't swallow this insult.

Although they are not the overlords of the Hogs Galaxy, they are at least the undisputed local tyrants in this area.

A rabbit-eared tribe has appeared out of this remote and impoverished place. We're being generous by not wiping you out; it's just a matter of collecting some taxes. Yet you're still unhappy and even bring in helpers to cause trouble. This is intolerable!

These rabbits, those that don't submit, will be slaughtered. The good-looking ones will be sold to rich people, and the ones with more meat will be sold to those alien creatures to eat.

"Elder, the people from the Business Network Group are pressing us harder again, and this time they've joined forces with other trade organizations and pirate groups. We have no way to mount an effective counterattack. If this continues, they'll devour all the surrounding territory. Should we contact the people from the Transdimensional Dimension?"

The Grand Elder looked conflicted.

Although the transdimensional world promotes peace, they were quite ruthless when they attacked last time.

Mercenaries who live on the edge are powerless against the transdimensional beings. In terms of the sheer brutality of their killings, the mercenaries are no match for the transdimensional beings.

They were ruthless, their first strike being a headshot.

Wherever they went, blood flowed like rivers.

The only difference is that people from other time periods don't have twisted thoughts or ideas about torturing their enemies.

Their playing style is very simple and brutal.

Those who can kill you with a single blow will not waste time fighting you, hence their exceptionally fast advance speed.

This guy is obviously a pro.

It's nothing like what their manager said.

"We are just a mining fleet."

Mining fleet?

Why are you guys so skilled at this?!

The Grand Elder hesitated.

If we get too involved with time travel, we might get absorbed into another world.

If possible, he still wants to preserve the rabbit-eared tribe's autonomy.

"Elder, the outpost has received a message. ANR, the second-in-command of the transdimensional mining fleet, wants to meet with you!"

Just as they were pondering a way out, news suddenly came from outside.

"Elder, this..."

"Go ahead and meet him," the elder said.

What reason is there to refuse?

If they anger the Transdimensional Dimension and are attacked by both the Transdimensional Dimension and the Commercial Network Group, the Rabbit-Eared Tribe cannot withstand it.

The second phase of the mission "Hogger Wars" has begun.

Anran led the core fleet directly to the administrative center of the Rabbit-Eared Clan.

As she stepped off the spaceship, she attracted the attention of the surrounding rabbits.

So this is a powerful figure from the neighboring star system?

She's so good-looking.

They soon turned their attention to Juliana.

The aura emanating from this girl is terrifying.

Even the Grand Elder is far inferior.

People who come from the land of the strong are indeed powerful!

"Welcome!" The elder greeted An Ran with a smile.

Meanwhile, somewhere within the Shangwang Group, a group of people gathered together.

They are secretly plotting with smiles on their faces.

Chapter 43 The Traitor in Action

It was a world of strong winds and swirling snow!

In the exotic little house, you can open one door and turn to see the ground in the courtyard gradually turning white.

Four people sat around the stove.

They weren't actually warming themselves by the fire; they were just chatting and eating grilled food.

The man on the left with the mustache is the external representative of Shangwang Group, and also a very influential person within the group.

The person sitting with him was no pushover either.

There were liaisons from the nearby major trading organization Jade Blue, representatives from NIX (Nix), a partner of the Business Network Group, and the vice-captain of the Rift Pirate Crew.

"After our investigation over this period of time, we have confirmed that there is a large mining area with very rich reserves on the edge of the Hidden Sandbar near the Rabbit Ear Clan's territory." Victor, the man with the mustache from the Business Network Group, threw out a lucrative offer.

The other three, who had already heard about this, simply picked up their glasses calmly.

He seemed to say, "Go on."

Victor continued, "To reach that mining area, we must pass through the Rabbit-Eared Clan's territory. If we try to detour by the flank, we'll encounter void turbulence, making the route too dangerous. But it's clear from recent events that the Rabbit-Eared Clan is unlikely to relinquish this advantage to us."

“These rabbits are very stubborn.” The deputy commander nodded in agreement.

They raided the rabbit-eared tribe's factory, but were subsequently retaliated against.

However, the rabbits were fierce, but unfortunately, they were not strong enough, and in the end, they could only swallow their broken teeth.
