Poverty makes me capable of anything.

An Ran blinked and comforted her, "There's nothing we can do about it. Our firepower is indeed inferior to theirs. A 2:1 casualty ratio is actually a pretty good result."

Heloise nodded in understanding.

"By the way, the war will become increasingly bloody. Now that we've been drawn in, we can't just sit around waiting. Even if we don't have a target for the time being, we need to make adequate preparations internally. All factory production plans need to be readjusted. During this period, we will suspend foreign arms trade and focus all our efforts on producing the Divine Messenger-class mechs. The production plan for the Heimdall should also be put on the agenda. I have two more lists here. Go and arrange for people to stockpile raw materials."

Enron forwarded the Deep Space Gun and the raw materials for the superalloy to Heloise.

She has decided that, if no outsiders disturb her during this time, she will focus on farming.

Even if all the power of the transdimensional universe is mobilized, it cannot affect the course of the Kadomo battle, so let's just ignore it.

The top priority is to complete the Crimson Spear and unlock the advanced BOSS template.

"I will finish it as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Watching Heloise walk away, An Ran suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to give her the potion [Explosive Proliferation].

"..."

Okay, let her get busy first.

After I'm done with this busy period, I'll give the medicine to her and An Qianqian once I've adjusted my condition.

"Now, it's time for the lucky draw!"

First, wash yourself thoroughly.

Then sit quietly for a moment to show your piety!

In the quiet, dark room, An Ran had a gift box-like object in front of her.

Let's begin!

An Ran took a deep breath and tore off the ribbon from the outside of Luo Wen's gift bag.

"You have opened Rowan's Mysterious Gift Pack..."

Spinning around...

On a roulette wheel that suddenly appeared, rewards quickly floated past An Ran's eyes.

"Please, please don't let it be trash!"

An Ran clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and then opened them with incredible speed after a long while.

"Congratulations on obtaining [Rowan's Short Sword]."

"..."

It's an orange-tier item with attributes.

An Ran glanced at her [Eye of the Storm].

Compared to that, it's just garbage.

However, this is just a figure of speech. Although An Ran considers this short sword trash, players see it as a divine weapon.

An Ran thought for a moment: "If we put it up for sale, I doubt anyone could afford it. Let's just consider it the ultimate reward for the Mechanical Puppet Challenge Platform."

Attributes are publicly displayed.

Players will be green with envy when they see that the ultimate reward is top-tier orange gear, which will encourage more players to spend money to buy equipment and participate in the challenge.

This is equivalent to a game activity.

A series of combined punches should earn them a lot of money.

“We should organize more meaningful events like this in the future.” An Ran nodded seriously. “We also need to reduce the probability of players clearing the game, so let’s add a few more powerful mechanical puppets.”

Level 120 mechanical golems can now be created in the Time Rift, giving them a lot of room for manipulation against players who are generally around level 80.

Next up is the second big gift package.

An Ran opened the box as before.

After the turntable stops—

"Congratulations on obtaining the [Flame Exemption]."

[Flame Immunity], a passive skill.

It doesn't actually make Anran immune to all fire damage, but rather increases Anran's fire resistance by 60%.

Including the original 17.6% fire resistance.

Anran could practically take a bath in the lava.

"Not bad."

The final reward from the Path to Mastery 1 quest is a blueprint for building RimWorld.

Not useful at the moment.

"A very fruitful harvest indeed."

Lying peacefully and lazily on the ground, I wish there were more tasks like this.

If a dozen or so come, she might be able to touch the threshold of becoming a Star Domain Ruler.

Over the next few days, Anran returned to her peaceful daily routine.

During the day, he would take Ella around to give guidance on production and set up the Ether Machinery Factory.

In the evening, Heloise and others were invited to a large family dinner.

An Qianqian continued to eat and drink as usual, and her level has now reached 81. Her leveling speed is astonishing. Once she drinks the bottle of [Explosive Proliferation], she will be able to become a major combat force in the transdimensional world.

Finally, I don't have to be a cute pet anymore.

The era of version 2.0 will surely be an even more exciting one.

"Eat more if you like it." An Ran patted An Qianqian's head.

"!"

shock!

An Qianqian was so startled by An Ran's abrupt action that she almost threw the spoon away.

Something's not right with An Ran.

She never talks like that normally.

When she was poor, she always complained that she ate too much, but after going out for a while, she changed. Could it be that An Ran was possessed by a monster?

I wonder if this monster is edible.

"This may be the final peace."

After finishing her meal, Anran squinted and leaned back in her chair.

Confused, Ella took her hand with some concern.

"..."

An Qianqian glanced at it.

Pooh.

Dog Girl.

I'll keep eating!

……

From August 29th to August 9th.

During this period, the Second Prince launched two more attacks on the Kadomo defense line.

The first line of defense, which had held out for more than 20 days, was finally breached. A section of the "Great Wall" fell because reinforcements arrived too slowly.

A crack appeared on the rock.

Seeing the dawn of victory, the second prince finally shook off his gloom.

Just then, the vanguard of the Fifth Expeditionary Force, which had not suffered any losses, arrived, and the situation became very favorable.

During this period, all sorts of "experts" and "scholars" have suddenly appeared on the news.

They were mostly labeled as "those who risked their lives to escape from the planet Aixing, a place shrouded in white terror".

He was doing the "righteous thing" of "resolutely opposing the ascension of the fourth prince, who believed in terrorism, to the throne!"

On one hand, it calls for "rejecting terrorism and every member of the Royal Council should stand up and say no," and on the other hand, it mobilizes "people all over the world."

"The Empire needs peace, and the world needs peace. The war should end quickly, and all patriots should stand up and send the Fourth Prince, who is still creating white terror, to the guillotine!"

"If the Third Prince, as an accomplice, can recognize reality and turn over a new leaf, he can still gain the people's forgiveness!"

"Experts" and "scholars" appear in various authoritative media outlets, with news columns, interviews, and debates appearing one after another, dazzling the eyes.

Even Maggie, who was always cold-faced after recovering, came to An Ran to complain.

"These people are really endless; they come up with new ideas every day."

An Ran couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be rich."

Money makes the world go round.

“These people are really shameless.” Yuriana sneered as she leaned against the wall. “Before they escaped from Aistar, they didn’t dare to say a word. Some of them even praised the Fourth Prince before, but as soon as they escaped, they immediately turned their guns on him. What’s most hateful is that they didn’t dare to speak up before, but now they’re inciting those people in the Royal Council to speak out.”

"You'll get used to it. Some online trolls are even more infuriating."

An Ran pursed her lips, recalling the scene of debating with hermaphrodites online in the past, which could really make a person angry.

However, if the distance isn't too far now, An Ran could easily crawl over and kill him via the internet.

"What's the situation with Night Owl?"

Maggie was silent for a while; she could never forgive Night Owl.

"The Sixth Expeditionary Force has been behaving strangely lately, and it is suspected that they may be planning to retreat."

"emmm..."

In this way, the biggest barrier to the Empire's side, which leans towards the Blue Forest, will disappear. If Night Owls continue to advance steadily, a large part of the Empire will fall into their control.
