Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Chapter 51 The Cheerful Official

The Princess Party contestants go first!

The core of their argument comes from how Juliana is addressed in everyday language.

[This recently appearing NPC consistently refers to ANR as "Your Highness".]

[Clearly, ANR is the princess.]

We've already explained the meaning of the three letters ANR before.

Without a doubt, ANR is the empire's long-lost princess.

At this point, the opposing debater enters the stage—

Your guesses are baseless and far-fetched, especially your explanation of the three letters ANR. I have a hundred different ways to humiliate you!

The title of "princess" is not exclusive to princesses of the Empire. Even if ANR's true identity is that of a princess, she could also be a princess of the Republic of Novalu.

I should clarify more clearly that "princess" is just a respectful title. According to my research, the pirate princess who appeared in the final promotional video before the server launch was also referred to as "princess."

Your guesses are pure speculation.

The princess faction was not convinced and presented even stronger evidence.

Our speculation is naturally based on some merit.

According to the investigation, the mysterious female NPC who appeared in TNA330 comes from the Imperial Royal Knights, which speaks volumes.

[You know, ANR is the ruler of the Hyperdimension, and the Hyperdimension is practically an anti-government organization, but the Royal Knights didn't arrest ANR.]

That makes some sense.

However, this evidence inadvertently became strong evidence against another party!

[You're all wrong! ANR is actually a member of the Royal Knights! She's a Royal Knights agent planted in Nagoria!]

Because of this identity, neither the Royal Knights nor the Governor's Office will take action against ANR.

[Yes, that's why ANR wiped out the pirates in Paradise and thwarted the Holy Church's plots several times. I predict their next move will be against the Black Tide rebels.]

[Holy crap, I'm in the Black Tide faction, I have to tell them this immediately!]

However, the Knights Party's reasoning still has flaws.

Although the news didn't spread widely, it wasn't that nobody knew about it.

The Governor's Office did attempt to take action against the transdimensional realm, but they were arrested before they could even begin.

[The government would have won the battle against the pirate guild if ANR hadn't intervened.]

I have every reason to believe that the Governor's Office and the Holy Church are adversaries! Because, being part of the Governor's Office's camp, I haven't completed a single mission against them so far; they've all failed, failed...

The entire page was lost.

It's truly heartbreaking to hear and brings tears to the eyes of anyone who listens.

Suddenly, countless players who had previously joined the Governor's faction appeared.

The accusations against Anran quickly dominated the forum's homepage.

[This is terrible! If it weren't for ANR, I would be at least two levels higher by now!]

The path you choose, you must walk it to the end, even if you have to crawl on your knees.

Can I say orange hemp husk?

Hello, yes, that's possible.

In addition, there are many small parties jumping around.

A lot of information was unearthed, but it all came after they had safely arrived in Nagoria.

Some players on the planet Aistar even confidently claimed to have seen NPCs resembling Anran and Ella.

They must have been to Aixing shortly before they put up the cordon.

The Dream Ship Guild, which initially raised the question, was not a member of any faction.

They took the initiative and set their sights on Zhou Jieyu and her group.

Why would a player who's supposed to be in the Azure Forest map travel all the way to Nagria to join ANR?

[ANR has many female NPCs around her, but there is one NPC who always stays by her side.]

The target is Ella!

When Anran was active in the Blue Forest, Ella always stayed by her side.

There was no Heloise back then, no An Qianqian who only knew how to eat, and no Maggie who had finally recovered her spirits...

Although my appearance has changed, I have a strong intuition.

Especially considering that the three of them who led the escape came!

In the makeshift meeting space, the veteran "excavators" of the Dream Ship Guild kept listing information.

[If this is the correct answer, then ANR is none other than Anran, who was previously wanted for 10 billion dollars!]

But here's the problem...

Two years ago, An Ran was probably around level 40, but now she's over level 100. How did she do that?

Even NPCs in the main storyline shouldn't be this outrageous; it's practically a bug.

[Besides, if she really was safe, how could the Royal Knights not have arrested her? She's a villain who killed a high-ranking governor!]

Simply incredible.

These two points cannot be explained.

Therefore, even though they suspected that ANR was Anran, they dared not voice this suspicion.

It sounds reasonable, but it also has inexplicable flaws.

Perhaps the only solution is to go and ask the ones who led the escape.

To find out what was going on, the guild leader of Dream Ship Guild personally contacted Zhou Jieyu offline after several attempts.

Can I ask you a question?

"What's the problem?"

"about……"

"no."

Zhou Jieyu looked surprised. She felt that her acting had never been so convincing before, and she gave him a look that seemed to say, "How did you come up with such a thing? How can your imagination be so rich? Great! My comic just happens to be missing an imaginative source!"

Is that really not true?

The president was lost in confusion.

With one path blocked, he tried asking Li Zhuying and Lin Yumo, but the replies he received were the same: Zhou Jieyu had already conspired with them.

"Ha! You think I'm really stupid? Actually, I'm just pretending all the time! And you all believed me, that's real skill!"

We definitely can't expose An Ran's identity now. If An Ran gets hammered by the Empire, where will she go to cling to a powerful figure?

Come to think of it, I haven't been able to latch onto Anran's coattails lately. It's all those guilds' fault, always trying to squeeze in for her.

Zhou Jieyu was very angry.

She soon found another opportunity to shine.

Don't worry, someone tried to expose your identity, and as your loyal supporter, I stood up and dissuaded them!

He has done a great service!

Zhou Jieyu was overjoyed, just waiting for the three-day waiting period to pass before she could enter the game and claim her credit.

While chatting non-stop on the forum.

The developers of "Night of the Stars" were also very pleased.

The group gathered together, discussing the changes in version 2.0, and their conversation drifted to recent events on the forum.

"Players will be very surprised when the answer is revealed."

"They can hardly imagine that the final boss of the next major version has always been right beside them, and they are helping the final boss grow stronger with their own efforts, and in the end they will need to challenge this final boss."

"You don't necessarily have to challenge them. After all, this is an open-world game. If you can't beat them, you can always choose to join them."

Everyone was laughing and having a great time.

However, he then fell into a state of sighing again.

ε=(?ο｀*))) Sigh

"It's tough for us too. The main console is completely locked. Even if we input the settings for each version, the final development of the plot will still be out of our control to some extent."

"I don't know what the board members are thinking."

"The Starfield map that wasn't supposed to be released until later in version 3.0 is already out now."

“Anran’s growth rate has also exceeded expectations. She should have reached this level in the early stages of version 2.0.”

"I feel like the game is playing me."

As game developers, they certainly had this absurd idea.

"Alright, hurry up and finish the maintenance, the new version will be released in one day."

What is a three-day wait for an ordinary player is three months for Anran, who is in the game.

She didn't have time to pay attention to these arguments on the forum.

He might glance at it occasionally, but he spends most of his time transforming what he stole from the Commercial Network Group into combat power that transcends time and space.

The fastest way she could think of to improve Heloise and the others' strength was to give them all the drugs with minimal side effects from the Business Network Group.

They managed to raise them to level 90, which still puts them ahead of the players.

Things became much simpler with An Qianqian.

While looting the spoils, An Ran captured quite a few strange beasts from the cage.
