Poverty makes me capable of anything.

An Ran glanced at Zhou Jieyu, whose condition wasn't much better either, but she had to grit her teeth and keep going. The faster they finished off the enemy, the safer they would be.

An Ran released her hand from Zhou Jieyu's ear, grabbed the assault rifle from the ground, and rushed out.

"boom--"

"Bang bang bang-"

Gunshots could be faintly heard outside.

Zhou Jieyu slowly climbed up against the wall, panting heavily, her forehead covered in sweat, like a drowning person just pulled out of the water.

After waiting for a while, An Ran finally came back from outside.

His clothes were a little disheveled, and there seemed to be a cut on his arm.

In fact, An Ran was cut by a guard who was pretending to be dead, but fortunately the wound was not deep.

After entering the instance, An Ran discovered that the game's kill notifications were gone.

This dungeon is a total rip-off! Killing monsters doesn't reward experience, and it doesn't give any hints!

"Can you move now?" An Ran asked.

"Hmm." Zhou Jieyu stood up, having finally recovered somewhat; at least she could walk without much trouble.

It would be best if she could walk on her own; Anran would never carry her or hug her.

"Where's my brother?" Zhou Jieyu asked as she walked into the outer room.

"The walls are all in this state now, what do you think?"

Zhou Jieyu subconsciously glanced around.

There was a large hole in the doorway, and the walls a little further away were now riddled with holes.

Needless to say, her brother, who led the charge, is definitely out of the game.

Zhou Jieyu asked speechlessly, "Wouldn't it have been better if we had just stayed here quietly? Why did you have to throw grenades?"

"If we're locked up here, when will we be able to get out?" An Ran asked rhetorically.

"..."

Zhou Jieyu shook her head: "I don't know."

"Do you think this group of people can repel Morning Star's attack?" An Ran continued to ask.

Zhou Jieyu thought for a moment: "Probably not."

Oh.

An Ran glanced at Zhou Jieyu.

She thought Zhou Jieyu would say maybe.

“It’s not that we should, it’s that we definitely can’t.” An Ran walked out of the small house. “Our mission is to ensure that this retired official survives until 6 a.m. If we can defeat Morning Star with just these guards, then this mission is meaningless. So they are destined to fail.”

“Collect the useful weapons, and you should get a new gun while you’re at it,” An Ran said.

"Okay." Zhou Jieyu did as instructed.

An Ran began collecting grenades, saying, "Since these guards are destined to die, being trapped here means our mission has failed. So rather than waiting to die, we might as well take the risk."

An Ran found a few grenades. She stood up and suddenly patted Zhou Jieyu on the shoulder: "Your brother's sacrifice was meaningful. Although he sacrificed himself, we still have enough opportunities to complete the mission!"

"Uh……"

After An Ran said that, Zhou Jieyu suddenly had the illusion that her older brother was very great.

She quickly shook her head. He was just a weakling who would be taken away by a grenade. She would definitely make fun of him when they got out.

Zhou Jieyu thought of it.

She picked up a rifle and equipped it.

"That's about it. But we still need to leave something behind." An Ran looked around.

She went to the doorway, tidied up the small house that had been bombed so badly, and then set up a simple trap near the doorway, hanging a grenade on it.

"What are you doing?"

An Ran didn't turn around: "Nine out of ten people from Morning Star will come to see us. Give them a small gift."

We'll kill as many as we can.

"Oh." Zhou Jieyu fell into thought. "Is this some kind of scheme?"

"It's about the same meaning."

An Ran wiped the blood off her hands and stood up.

Zhou Jieyu stared at An Ran.

Despite its cute appearance, this NPC is actually quite cunning.

Although he's very skilled, he always likes to trick people.

I wonder what will happen after I raise her favorability rating.

After all, she's an NPC. Once we raise her favorability, she probably won't mess with us anymore, right?

Zhou Jieyu's current favorability rating with An Ran is 21 points, which is a very ordinary value.

"Let's go!" An Ran walked out of the small house again.

She gripped the assault rifle, remaining vigilant even while speaking to Zhou Jieyu.

"Where are we going now? Should we find a place to hide like we did before?" Zhou Jieyu asked.

They were actually able to offer some fairly constructive suggestions?

An Ran glanced at Zhou Jieyu with surprise, but she still did not intend to adopt Zhou Jieyu's very normal proposal.

“We’re going to do something big!” An Ran said.

"What's big?" Zhou Jieyu asked, puzzled.

An Ran explained, "Morning Star's attack still has four rounds left. Even if there are only 10 people in each round, the two of us will still have to deal with 40 enemies. This is too difficult, and it will be hard to complete the mission. In that case, why don't we do the opposite and just kidnap this retired official!"

"Huh? Kidnap him!" Zhou Jieyu exclaimed in astonishment. "Weren't we supposed to protect him?"

"Kidnapping him is protecting him! If Morningstar can't find him before 6 a.m., the mission is complete. As long as this retired official is alive, we can do whatever we want with the rest."

"This works too?" Zhou Jieyu's eyes widened.

"Can't you stop being so rigid in your thinking!" An Ran rarely complained. "Let's go, be careful."

Chapter 31 This young lady loves to take action against arrogant people (Part 1)

Am I rigid in my thinking?

Zhou Jieyu didn't think so at all.

After all, she's a Trail Blazer!

The first to arrive in Twin Moon City.

The first player to survive in the main city.

It's much more impressive than the "Nako Knight" who was blown up halfway through the journey.

She is clearly a quick thinker and an incredibly clever little genius.

Where is the thinking rigid?

And also—

"Weren't all the guards blown up by you, An Ran? Why are you still being careful?"

"The people outside have been dealt with, but there are definitely still some inside. Putting that aside, with such a commotion outside, what do you think that retired official will do?"

"Um……"

You're right, I'll listen to you.

Following An Ran's example, Zhou Jieyu picked up a rifle and slowly advanced along the wall of the small house.

Although the plan is to kidnap retired officials, if the villain gets sniped halfway there, he'll be a completely insignificant "villain" with no presence whatsoever.

Fortunately, the cautious An Ran managed to sneak into the large house in the middle without any problems.

Before entering the house, she also noticed that there was a swimming pool behind the house.

My goodness, no wonder he's a retired official, he's really enjoying his life.

Such a big house...

"Not counting other things, this house alone must cost a lot of money, at least several hundred thousand peso."

An Ran muttered to herself.

“Several hundred thousand dollars is already considered cheap,” Zhou Jieyu suddenly interjected.

“…” An Ran turned around and looked at her.

“The house I live in now is even bigger than this, and it costs more than 2300 million.” Zhou Jieyu said in a very calm tone a number that made An Ran’s blood boil.

22, more than 30 million!

Although Anran knew that this was real money and quite different from the money in the game, she was still attracted to it.

Wow, that's amazing!

Wow, so rich!

As expected, everyone is different from a poor guy like me.

Who would have thought that the seemingly foolish "leader of the escape" was actually a super-rich man in the real world?

I really want to cling to someone's coattails!

wrong.

An Ran's expression changed slightly. First of all, she could not reveal her true identity, and therefore could not show any understanding of reality.

Secondly, she is an NPC, an NPC who is destined to become a BOSS.
