Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Li Zhuying smiled and nodded.

"Keep bragging, it doesn't cost money anyway." Zhou Jieyu glanced at Li Zhuying disdainfully.

Believe it or not.

Surprisingly, Zhou Jieyu didn't continue arguing this time. She frowned and said, "Although it sounds impressive, it's not really a good thing. If the news leaks out in advance, it might be detrimental to Anran."

"!!!"

Be on high alert!

Upon hearing the word "safe and sound," Li Zhuying immediately perked up.

I agree with you.

“Looks like you’re not stupid after all,” Zhou Jieyu said.

"..."

If I weren't trying to trick you into telling me, I would have punched you right away!

Li Zhuying said expressionlessly, "We need to think of a way."

“What can we do? We’re not the only three who know about this.” Zhou Jieyu shook her head.

"..."

So...

"What exactly have you two been discussing for so long?"

Lin Yumo ultimately couldn't hold back.

“It’s that one…” Li Zhuying turned her head, “Zhou Shuren, you tell me.”

"No, no, no, you should say it."

Zhou Jieyu quickly waved her hand, declining the offer.

That won't do!

"This chance to shine is yours, don't be shy."

“You should do it, you should do it. You figured it out before me, and since you write novels, your explanation will definitely be more organized than mine.” Zhou Jieyu looked at Li Zhuying with a kind expression.

"no……"

"Don't be so polite with me!" Zhou Jieyu patted Li Zhuying on the shoulder.

Hold the grass!

"Speak up, look, Yu Mo is completely confused, quickly explain it to her."

At this moment, Zhou Jieyu's face was filled with "hehehehe..."

Her gaze toward Li Zhuying was incredibly gentle, yet full of encouragement.

"..."

Damn it!

Ha ha ha ha...

You're still trying to fool me?

Zhou Jieyu's smugness soared. After exchanging a few words with Li Zhuying, she suddenly noticed that Li Zhuying had a lot of little tricks up her sleeve and always used the same old clichés.

This made her suddenly realize that Li Zhuying probably didn't understand what she was saying at all; she was just pretending, trying to act like she knew a lot.

Alright, then this opportunity to shine is yours!

"Come on, tell me already!"

Tick.

The vest was already soaked with sweat.

Li Zhuying stammered, "Yes, it's about An Ran... Well, since we haven't argued in a long time, I'll give you this chance to steal the spotlight."

Before he could even finish his sentence, Zhou Jieyu leaned in and gave him a wicked smile: "Do you really know what I'm going to say?"

"Of course!"

"Then tell me."

"..."

"Haha!" Zhou Jieyu laughed loudly, "Accept your fate! I've seen through you, and I've cut off all your escape routes! Just obediently admit defeat in front of me!"

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Li Zhuying pounced on her.

The playful banter made the "Banana Tree," who had been looking at its favorite author from afar and wanted to come up and say hello, stop in its tracks.

"I'll go there later," the banana tree thought.

This wait lasted for several minutes.

Afterwards, Li Zhuying and Lin Yumo, having no other choice, looked at Zhou Jieyu, waiting for her little lesson to begin.

"Let me state my conclusion first," Zhou Jieyu said. "An Ran is the pirate princess! There's no doubt about that."

"It would be a miracle if it was wrong. Isn't the pirate princess's name Anran?" Li Zhuying immediately retorted.

I thought you were being incredibly clever...

Burlap sacks under the bridge!

"You mean..."

Li Zhuying's body stiffened.

If An Ran refers to An Ran on the Flying Star Ship, then this is no nonsense.

Lin Yumo's eyes widened suddenly as she instantly understood, because there was simply too much evidence to support her conclusion. Although none of it was irrefutable proof, repeated hammering could produce a near-fatal blow.

This is thanks to the official promotional video, which tells everyone that the pirate princess is not completely dead, but has actually been reborn and will return to seek revenge.

Without this premise, it would indeed be difficult to connect Anran with the pirate princess.

After all, nobody knew that this game had a rebirth feature.

No wonder!

The three girls' eyes met.

From a girl selling cakes and working at a repair shop in Twin Moon City to the overlord of the Star River, this road, though not completely blocked, only took a little over four years—that's incredibly fast.

If An Ran is a reborn pirate princess, wouldn't that explain it?

You think Anran is poor, but she's actually very rich!

"No wonder An Ran performed so well during the Jiuge assessment."

"No wonder An Ran was able to turn Morning Star upside down."

"No wonder Anran helped Night Owl deal with the governor of the Blue Forest."

"No wonder An Ran knows so much about the pirate princess's deeds."

"No wonder An Ran ran to the Northern Territory after leaving the Azure Forest."

"No wonder that aloof female NPC kept calling her Princess Anran."

There are too many reasons to be surprised.

Once the conclusion that Enron = Pirate Princess holds true, these issues cease to be problems.

At first, the banana tree, who was listening from a distance, thought that Zhou Jieyu and the others were discussing the pirate princess An Ran, but after hearing the last sentence, he suddenly realized what was going on.

The Anran they were discussing was not the pirate princess Anran, but the time-traveling ruler ANR.

Anran, ANR.

Damn it.

Isn't this just Pinyin?

(Don't ask me why I use pinyin in the game XD)

shocked!

ANR = Anran = Pirate Princess Anran.

An equation immediately formed in the banana tree's mind.

He had originally planned to go back and investigate this information after the mission was completed, but unexpectedly, he heard a very bold yet seemingly true answer here.

He didn't understand what Zhou Jieyu and the others meant by the other things they were talking about, but that didn't stop him from becoming more and more convinced of it.

"How could I..."

"Shh!"

Just then, Langligelang appeared out of nowhere and stopped the banana tree from screaming.

"Don't let them find out."

The banana tree took a breath.

"Let's talk over there." Langligelang pulled the banana tree aside, then lowered his voice and said, "First, I need to confirm your thoughts on the Pirate Princess and ANR."

The banana tree immediately replied, "Of course! They're all my wives!"

Okay, I've already read that meaning from your eyes and tone.

Business is important, so I won't argue with you.

“I understand your position now,” Langligelang said. “You must have heard clearly what they said when they led the escape.”

The banana tree nodded.

"Actually, I had this guess a long time ago."

This isn't just Langligelang bragging; he's been following this storyline for a long time and has always had this feeling, but he's just struggling to find any concrete evidence to support it.

"Since we both really like the character An Ran, it means we're on the same side, right?"
