Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"I learned it because the teacher taught it."

Cheating!

When Wilmer was recruiting, he saw his lieutenant No. 3 unleash a plague storm, and its power left a deep impression on him. Recruit, recruit them quickly!

Who knew that this was just a demonstration, and then after entering the underground mercenary group, they unleashed a plague storm? No way, that's too cruel. I'll use other elemental magic instead!

Wilmer didn't want to mention how weak the other elemental magic was.

Later, Wilmer understood why no one wanted Lieutenant Number 3: because she was just a freeloader!

The current situation of the undercover mercenary group is that "four scoundrels make a show".

Because everyone was just getting by, and because they couldn't find any really good people, Wilmer could only make do with what he had.

If he were even slightly more capable, he would have kicked those three scoundrels out long ago.

"We're all just slackers, why be so aggressive?"

"Life is just a journey, the important thing is to be happy."

The four men, all skilled at getting away with things, were also adept at taking a beating!

Its health is far higher than that of NPCs of the same class and level.

It was precisely because they were in the wrong that the three lieutenants of the undercover mercenary group couldn't stand up straight when facing their commander, Wilmer.

This greatly enhanced Wilmer's prestige!

If his subordinates are incompetent, Wilmer should be wary of being ousted from power.

"Life is truly unfathomable!" Wilmer exclaimed.

Having been reprimanded, Lieutenant No. 2 temporarily put aside his literary ambitions and succinctly explained Ibn's identity.

“Before I joined the Assassin’s Ladder, Ibn was already a top-ranked assassin.”

"He was most famous when he carried out seven missions in a single month with a 100% success rate. Considering that the seven missions were not in the same location, Ibn would kill the target almost as soon as he arrived at the destination, and then quickly rush to the next mission location."

Wilmer nodded repeatedly.

Look, look at this! This is what a reliable person looks like.

What about the underground mercenary group?

What trash! When Wilmer gets ruthless, he even curses himself.

Lieutenant Number 2 said, "Wilmer's last mission was to assassinate the Overlord of the Transcendental Dimension..."

"Wait a minute, what did you just say?" Wilmer asked, taken aback.

Lieutenant No. 2 repeated it again.

"..."

An assassination attempt?

"Isn't he a time-traveling being now?"

“Yes, I find it strange too,” said Lieutenant Number 2.

No wonder he reacted so strongly just now.

Wilmer frowned.

Although these people are not very skilled, they are still experts, and their judgment is still sound. It's another matter if they get scammed.

Ibn was very strong. He accepted the mission to assassinate Anran and became Anran's subordinate.

Thinking about it that way...

“It seems Ibn failed in his mission and then surrendered,” Wilmer revealed the truth.

Just how vigilant was An Ran to be able to make the assassination attempt on Ibn, which was described as so impressive by his second adjutant, fail?

Wilmer recalled what Theodore had told him when he contacted him not long ago from the front lines of the war.

"Don't be fooled by appearances. The mechanic herself couldn't possibly withstand an attack of that intensity. She simply possesses the ability to temporarily teleport herself to another dimension. If you strike before she can react, she'll be dead for sure!"

Did Ibn expose his whereabouts during the assassination attempt?

This is a very troublesome problem.

If that's the case, then Theodore's method would be extremely difficult to implement, and Wilmer couldn't help but feel a little worried.

“Commander, I think we need to reassess,” said Lieutenant Number 2.

"Ah."

Wilmer nodded.

As a nobody, survival is the key; everything else can be earned by waiting time.

……

That evening, Wilmer convened a battle analysis meeting in the conference room at the outpost.

"Because the opponent is extremely powerful..."

Nearly two months have passed, and the Hidden Mercenary Legion has not gained any advantage in the Rein system. However, although the opponent is very strong, the Hidden Mercenary Legion has also shown great resilience. "The noble army of the Rein system will not be able to step out of the Rein system." The Hidden Mercenary Legion has established a firm foothold at the outpost, making the noble army dare not make any rash moves.

Anran summed up Wilmer's long rambling in one sentence:

"Aside from establishing outposts, there has been no progress."

Zhen Jill is a real headache.

"Let's split our forces into two groups to encircle the defending troops," An Ran suggested.

No need for so much nonsense, we have the numbers now, let's overwhelm them with sheer numbers.

Chapter 56 Missionaries

The ultimate goal is to defend the Rein system, and the faction missions released in the game are not much different from those in the Ship's Bottom system.

To contain or defeat the defenders of the Reyn system.

The strategy agreed upon by Enron and Wilmer was for the underground mercenary group to first harass the defending troops and draw their attention.

“We’re very good at this,” Wilmer agreed without hesitation.

He was absolutely confident in his ability to take a beating.

After all, this is his signature skill. If he had lost even this trick, he would have been thrown into jail and made a living during the Star Alliance's crackdown on smuggling long ago.

There's nothing to question about An Ran.

The Underground Mercenaries may have performed poorly in previous wars, but they are still a mercenary organization with five masters (in addition to the legion commander and three lieutenants, there is also a truly reliable logistics manager).

They suffered a minor loss, but the garrison of the Rein system did not have the strength to defeat the underground mercenary legion.

"This will be a war that ends much faster than the war in the Carapace system."

Generally speaking, everyone would think that way, but Anran didn't want the war to end so quickly.

In the Carapace system, she shut down Yates, who had been wreaking havoc, in such a shocking way that the war, which could have dragged on for several more days, ended prematurely in a magnificent yet silent manner.

Players are probably thinking, "I just started, how did it suddenly end?"

The joking complaints on the forum are enough to demonstrate this information.

In the words of player "Journey to the West Diary," "Sometimes being led by a powerful NPC can be a nuisance."

Then you can have your fun this time.

Having captured many valuable items in the previous war, Anran has enough confidence to let players indulge themselves.

If you want these players to willingly become your victims, how can you not give them a taste of success first?

In fact, if a game's basic gameplay is sound, attracting players is a very simple matter.

Especially considering that Anran is an NPC.

Doing the same thing, Anran will be forgiven by the players, but the dog planner will be hung up and whipped by the players, and not only that, they will be smeared with chili oil.

"No, this isn't ANR's fault. Blame those money-grubbing game designers, those damned dog designers! All they think about is how to rip us off! It's one thing to rip us off in the real world, but they're also finding all sorts of ways to rip us off in-game currency. They're shameless! Damn it!"

That's just how real it is.

Anyway, let's just pin the blame on the dog planner.

What? We have the right to participate in the meeting for this mission?

[Can one participate in the pre-battle meeting if their reputation in the Hyperdimensional Realm exceeds 1200?]

【real or fake? 】

I've already received the task notification, so it must be real.

Holy crap, this time-travel anime is so democratic!

ANR is everything.

[So, what level is 1200 reputation with the Time Gate?]

[Unsure.]

I don't know, I only have a little over 900 points.

How can I quickly gain 1200 reputation points?

Players on the forum suddenly started discussing this topic—it was about attending the pre-battle meeting!

That's a chance to get up close and personal with the Commander-in-Chief, Anran, and Ella!

If I leave a deep impression on them, wouldn't I, a nobody from the bottom of society, be able to get a promotion, a raise, and reach the pinnacle of my life?!

In fact, 1200 reputation points is a very nice limit for the card.

Players with over 1200 reputation with the Time-Space faction are either heavy spenders, top-tier spenders, or incredibly lucky. Out of 50 players, no more than 20 can reach this level.

These are all high-quality chives; once one crop is harvested, another will surely follow.

I think there will definitely be more and more tasks like this in the future. Although I missed it this time, I'm sure I'll be on the leaderboard next time! Anyway, bros, I'm going back to work now.

Hey bro, I found a worthwhile way to boost reputation! The latest [Warframe] set, worth 30 million Biru, gives you 3000 reputation points! If you're just one point short, this is a must-buy. Not only will it increase your strength, but you can also catch the last train to the top!
