Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"It's rising quite fast, only 13 points away."

Reaching 50 points of favorability isn't particularly difficult, but if the goal is to reach 60 points or more and become friends, Anran has no choice but to temporarily back down.

"Do you have that kind of... that kind of..." Void asked Anran while thinking.

An Ran was taken aback; the sentence structure was familiar.

Which one?

Void finally sorted out the vocabulary: "It's that kind of information that reflects the relationships between people from other worlds."

Tired of your idols and want a change?

"You mean this? Of course, there is. Wait a minute."

An Ran directly used her consciousness to connect to the network and conduct the search.

Void Panda probably wanted to see works that could reflect people's hearts, such as those depicting political struggles.

"But I won't let you have your way!"

Anran pulled up a bunch of TV dramas like "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me", "The Domestic Life of a Middle-Aged Housewife", and "Why Are You Wearing XX's Clothes".

"These are all firsthand materials, take your time to look through them."

"Thank you."

The Void Panda, mimicking the manner of the otherworldly beings, expressed its goodwill to An Ran in a friendly way.

When An Ran presented the video, she didn't expect the Void Panda to be so excited when it saw it.

"Huh, is this otherworldly person an idiot?"

"..."

"Why didn't she just kill that competitor? If she killed him, he would have nothing left."

"Killing someone without cause is illegal, and it was just a love triangle, not some deep-seated hatred."

"Isn't mating right important?"

"There are plenty of people in the Star Sea. Do you think your Void Clan is few in number?"

The Void Panda didn't respond, but after a while it got angry again.

"She's really pushing her luck! I can't stand it. If it were me, I'd just eat her up!"

After watching for a few days, Anran probably developed an antibody and noticed that the Void Panda was making fewer and fewer pronouncements about eating people.

Perhaps it's a case of accepting it.

No matter how loudly you shout, you can't win against the director and screenwriter. You might as well try to immerse yourself in it and just enjoy it.

But as it turns out, the Void Panda is a restless creature.

"I feel so empty."

It found the otherworldly beings to be incredibly boring.

To rule over such a boring bunch of creatures?

In reality, it doesn't gain anything either.

There must be something wrong with their thinking.

"Change it, change it, change it."

In the end, the Void Panda obediently went back to see the adorable pet and female idol that An Ran had prepared for it.

"First, you need to build up enough goodwill, and then..."

"Let's talk about this later," Void Panda interrupted An Ran's lecture.

All I want to do right now is attend one more concert.

Listen, listen.

Because it's a shared viewing experience, Anran has been binge-watching dramas so much lately that she's almost sick of it.

It's more interesting to watch the girls.

Upon returning, Anran also contacted the surviving members of the Sacred Heart Church, Sphinder.

“There’s not much we can do right now, but if you have a way, you should contact the Void and tell it that the Royal Knights are after it,” Anran said.

Sphinder hesitated, "The Void has almost never answered our inquiries, and I'm afraid it will too this time..."

"How will you know if you'll get a response if you don't try? You can't expect melons to grow in the field if you just sit here doing nothing."

Sphinder was persuaded by Anran.

He turned around and tried to contact the void to send a warning message.

The Void, which was bored, suddenly frowned. Its followers had not contacted it for a long time, and the message that came when they contacted it again was the same as what An Ran had said.

It seems that the Royal Knights are no good.

"Do you think I'm someone to be trifled with?" the Void Panda roared in anger.

Chapter 39 starts to hint at a mastermind behind everything.

Void's favorability is 42 points.

"I received a reply from the Void! I received a reply from the Void! This is truly, truly..."

Standing before Anran, Sphinder was so excited he was incoherent.

Although he was a member of the Church of God, he had never participated in any sacrificial or inquiry activities. He had only heard from others that the void was not an easy being to talk to.

Sphinder never expected that his first attempt to communicate with the Void would receive a response from it.

Could it be that……

He is the chosen one recognized by the void!?

"The Void sent me to seek your cooperation, saying that you are a coordinate personally chosen by the Void and are trustworthy," Sphinder said to Anran after calming himself down.

Oh ho?

An Ran raised an eyebrow.

Although this fake panda speaks eloquently, both the favorability rating from the system and its actual actions show that it actually trusts itself quite a bit.

“Hmm.” An Ran narrowed her eyes. “Actually, we’ve been cooperating for a while now, haven’t we? But the current situation does seem a bit off.”

Sphinder asked, puzzled, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Visa's Rebellion".

"?"

"It's rumored that the reformers are behind this, and I suspect they have close ties with the Royal Knights. It's worth pondering what the Royal Knights' true motives are in supporting Vesa. Do they want to stir up trouble, or do they simply not want the Second Prince to become Emperor, or perhaps they want to use Vesa to overthrow the Empire's rule..."

Sphinder frowned. "This doesn't seem to concern us much."

“Of course it’s related,” An Ran explained. “Knowing their goals will help us figure out how many potential partners we can win over. Do you really think you and the Time-Space Alliance can defeat the Royal Knights on your own?”

Sphinder scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly, "I really can't. If I were to rely on myself alone, I probably couldn't do anything."

An Ran said, "So the most important thing for us now is to find out the Royal Knights' purpose, as well as their internal situation, how many people support their plan, and whether they are a united front. The clearer our understanding, the greater the chance of success."

“I’ll go to Aistar; maybe I can find out some useful information.” Sphinder thought for a moment, then looked up at Anran.

Uh……

An Ran was stunned.

Why did you suddenly decide to go and get yourself killed while we were talking?

"Don't be impulsive..."

Svante shook his head: "No problem. Although I am a member of the Holy Church, I am not on the Royal Knights' kill list, otherwise I would not have survived until now."

"Then you can decide for yourself."

Anran didn't have high expectations for Sfredic.

These fanatics are not so easy to recruit; Ibn, who was kept by coercion and inducement, might be more reliable than him.

As for how much useful information Sfindic will be able to gather?

Let it be, let it be.

The Royal Knights have grandmasters, so it's not something you can just do on a whim.

After watching Sphinder disappear into the distance, Anran turned and went to Dolphin Star.

Several months have passed, and the Dolphin Star Factory, which has been fully operational, has achieved considerable results. The dozens of newly produced destroyers have finally given Anran's hyperspace fleet a slight tendency to break away from the miscellaneous troops.

Dolphin Star is no longer as desolate as it once was.

The massive underwater cities are connected by various tunnels, and the rabbit-eared tribe and the sea people live together in harmony.

Although the people have become more enlightened, the sea people still regard Anran as a god.

This matter often left the elder of the rabbit-eared tribe sighing with emotion—

"Even a random territory has such great potential. ANR truly deserves to be a capable assistant to a star-domain-level power!"

Unable to leave Dolphin Star, they still believe that the Hyperspace Dimension is a superpower that spans the entire star system.

Let this white lie continue.

Juliana dismissed the elder's granddaughter, whose eyes were gleaming, with a few words, then scratched her slightly disheveled hair and came to Anran: "Your Highness, shall we depart now?"

"Okay, let's go, and come back as soon as possible."

The Flying Starship sailed away from Dolphin Star and came to a stop in a desolate starry sky two hours later.

An Ran gazed at the dim world outside the spaceship: "This is about it. None of the four planets here show any signs of life, and they are a desert planet, a rocky planet, a gaseous planet, and a frozen planet, which are perfect for comparison."

They came here to test the power of the Deep Space Gun.

One Deep Space Lance of [Superior] grade and one Deep Space Lance of [Good] grade.

The Flying Starship hovered in deep space.
