'Hi~! Annie! ’

'How are you doing?' I haven't heard from you for a few days, and I thought you had been killed! ’

A scapular warrior had just connected to Anne's communications, and he said mockingly in that mocking tone so unscrupulously.

"You've just been killed!!"

（?????????? ）

Sure enough, Anne knew that a spicy nasty guy would definitely say something that would make her unhappy, and in fact, if it weren't for the fact that she was still a little bit free now, she wouldn't have connected to the other party's communication!

'That's ......'

'The car you asked me to find, a motorcycle from Final Fantasy, a fast and beautiful little motorcycle, I've found it, but I've asked for the price, the profiteer in the fan league may be asking a bit inflated, several times higher than its actual value, do you need to come back to me first?' ’

"Don't worry, I know you have a holiday with their fan league guild, so I asked that guy named Tommy Zeng to go back first, and I won't let you two meet, if you look at it, I won't pay him in two days." ’

In the Neural Connectivity Center of Pandora's undersea base, little Anne sat on the edge of her dormant chamber-like synchronised neural connector, dangling her legs while using the translucent holographic virtual communication system in front of her to talk to a 'scapular warrior'.

Judging from the fact that the researchers who walked around turned a blind eye, it is not difficult to analyze that these NPCs must have some shielding functions, and they will definitely not actively interfere with the player's communication and operation of the game panel.

"Spicy will you find it soon?"

(°ー°〃)

"However, people are very busy now, and they can't go back for the time being, or ...... You just give me a decision, don't worry, people will definitely not lose your money! ”

(^_??) ☆

At this time, Annie, who is having fun in the underwater world of Pandora, will easily go back? Therefore, she directly rejected the other party's proposal.

Anyway, she won't go back until she completes her trip to the planet Pandora, no matter what!

Moreover, when she heard the other party talk about the 'fan alliance' just now, she couldn't help but chuckle! Because she remembers...... If she hadn't miscalculated the time, their game guild seemed to be preparing to arrive on the planet Pandora in the next two days, and at that time, it was estimated that it would be a super troublesome thing, and she had to make some preparations as soon as possible.

?? 乛?? 乛??

For example, in front of that Uncle Parker Sefrits, you can speak ill of all the bad guys who do all kinds of evil, are heinous, full of evil, have lost their conscience, do whatever they want, and bully her as a well-behaved, innocent and cute little girl?

（…… ）

(￣?? ￣; )

'Huh? What are you talking about, not coming back for a while?! ’

'Wait! ’

'What are you......?' In a dungeon? ’

'Wow! Little guy, is that some kind of closed copy? Is the rate of return high, can you tell me a little bit about it?! ’

Hearing little Annie's impatient words, and seeing some scenes and many NPCs behind little Annie from the dialog box, a certain 'shoulder blade warrior' with a super keen sense of smell hurriedly blushed his face, leaned over to the screen, and asked in a low voice.

“……”

(￢д￢。 )

"It's useless, don't think about it!"

(???? ω????)

"Now this is an unexplored planet in Area 16, which is a closed copy that is not open to the public, and my only coordinate scroll was used when I came, even if I tell you now that this is Pandora's planet, you will definitely not be able to come!"

(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut ~~

Of course, Anne knew what bad ideas the other party was playing, so she told the truth directly, and completely cut off some of the other party's unrealistic thoughts.

'Is that Pandora in the Avatares?' ’

'Wait, I'll check ......'

After hearing the name 'Pandora' be uttered, the scapular warrior Edgey hurriedly searched for it using the search function in 'Oasis'.

'Avatar, ......'

"There doesn't seem to be any particularly valuable artifact there, but the AMP exoskeleton system, that is, the augmented mobile platform, seems to be quite valuable, although it is an old model, but the firepower is quite strong, you can pay attention to it a little.......

Also, the superconducting ore there is valuable, very valuable! It's an indispensable super material for repairing large ships and upgrading the engines of some important warships, and it's also very versatile. ’

From the few words, I knew what kind of copy little Anne was in, and the shoulder blade warrior Edge, when she checked it, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she began to raise her eyebrows and give little Anne hard advice, and as soon as she opened her mouth, he instructed her to get those more valuable things.

"Superconducting ores?"

(lll￢▽￢)

"There are a lot of those things here, but people can't take them indiscriminately, because if someone finds out, they will definitely be kicked out by that Uncle Parker!"

(???? ˇ?? ˇ????)

Actually, Anne has done a lot of robbing players and NPCs, and it's not like she can't directly rob all the boxes of superconducting ore in this base, otherwise, her bounty can accumulate so high?

It's just that......

Her ship was scrapped and she couldn't grab something and run away, and she had a good relationship with that Uncle Parker Sefriech now, and she didn't want to take someone else's stuff without their consent, even if it was just a game.

╮(╯▽╰)╭

Sure enough, you can't have too many acquaintances to play this 'Oasis' VR game, even if it's an NPC, otherwise, the experience of the game will be greatly reduced, and even doing something hurtful will become careless, which is not interesting at all!

（…… ）

(；??????)

'A lot?! ’

'Really? ’

'Why don't you take some back and give it to me?' ’

'Huh? Isn't it possible? ’

'It's a pity...... If I were present, I would have taken everything I could see, and then ...... I don't care if those NPCs live or die! ’

'Little one, I'll tell you......'

The scapular warrior Edges began to say something that made Anne can't help but have black lines on her head, so she didn't want to be affected by the other party, so she just turned her head and watched the researchers busy back and forth in this nerve link center, without any intention of listening seriously.

'Alright! ’

'Anne, then I'm really going to give you an order to take that little motorcycle?' ’

'The day after tomorrow ......'

It's supposed to be 12:00 noon the day after tomorrow, and the race to find the easter egg is going to start again, aren't you really going to come back?" ’

After muttering gibberish words for a while, seeing that Edge, who couldn't convince the other party to do that kind of thing of robbing NPCs, he suddenly changed the conversation and asked about the easter egg contest that a certain little girl wanted to participate in before.

"Time is too tight, I won't go for the time being!"

o(?? ^｀)o

"Anyway, those stupid people definitely can't win, people are not in a hurry, and it's the same if they go next week!!"

(???? ω????)

After looking at the time on the watch-like communicator on her wrist for the second time, Anne conveyed a message to the other party again very tactfully, that is: if you have anything to say, say it quickly, and then get out of it as soon as you finish, and don't disturb her with some inconsequential little things when she is brushing copies and playing!!

She couldn't wait to ride her big shark into the depths of Pandora!

Moreover, she has also discovered an important way to make a fortune, and that is to find the treasures of Pandora's deep sea, such as pearls or special corals and ores.

She definitely can't take those superconducting ores in this base and doesn't have the right to take them, but if it's those ores outside, she breaks or knocks down a few pieces, then there must be no problem, right?

'Also ......'

It's been five years, and no one has found a key, and the game of finding Halliday's eggs is certainly not that easy...... Okay, then I won't participate this time, I'll continue to go to the Dead Planet in Area 12 to make a little money, and remember to send me a message when you come back? ’

'So be it, goodbye little one! ’

After saying that, the shoulder blade warrior Edge, who knew that he was already a little annoying, quickly said a few words and then stretched out his hand, closing and ending the communication between the two sides.

“……”

Beep!?????? (＿＿*)????

"Really, a little thing has to be long-winded for a long time, fortunately people didn't bring him at the time, otherwise he would have been annoyed to death!!"

?? (???? 0`??)??

After stretching and seeing that the other people around her had already laid down in the synchronomic nerve connector to control those avatars to go to sea for testing and training, Anne also hurriedly lay down in her own synchronous neural linker, and then let the researcher NPC next to her come over and help her close the lid of the linker.

……

"Yo roar~!"

ε=ε=???????? (((???? Qu??)?? o

Anne drove her royal mount, the Pandora Deep-Sea Phosphorescent Shark, out of the base's sea gates, and the current brought up by the current that made the 'Avatars', including a certain Uncle Parker, envious of those who were still only able to adapt to the environment in the offshore sea.

But there is no way, they don't have their own mounts, so they must not be too far from the base, and can only rely on breathing and local anti-stress equipment and Avatar's strong body with natural carbon fiber in its bones to adapt little by little at this depth of a thousand meters under the sea!

However, the base is now developing a self-powered pressure-resistant skateboard with a Pandora high-pressure air tank and weapons for breathing in order to improve their mobility in the deep sea? Either way, the thing that is still being tested, whether it is agility, speed, or maneuverability, must not be able to compare with Annie's direct neural connection to the Pandora deep-sea phosphorescent shark.

“……”

?? (???? ▽??)??

Ignoring the stupid guys' thoughts, Anne swam away from the base for a moment with her big fish mount, and then rushed down to a beautiful canyon below with a huge group of corals and biota, and a large group of silver stars, which looked like the small fish where the stars had gathered.

"Wow!"

?? (????????)??

Because Anne was now riding a deep-sea phosphorescent shark in Pandora, which was good at predation, when she got closer, the dense silver points of light that had gathered below instantly split into two, and gave way to her and her mount at great speed, allowing her to swim slowly along the dotted silver passage like a queen who had gone out of the palace to inspect.

However, whether it was Anne or her big fish, they ignored them because they were too small and too nimble to catch, so she wouldn't waste time catching them!

Distance

A colorful humpback bass swam towards Anne with a brilliant white light and a few black spots, but neither Anne nor the Pandora shark under her seat had any intention of catching it...... Through the spiritual connection with the Pandora deep-sea phosphorescent shark, Anne knew that the fish bones on the other party's fin were highly poisonous, and if she accidentally got pricked, something would definitely happen, and none of the predators in the sea were willing to provoke it.

"Huh?"

∑(?? △｀)？！

Anne, who was slowly swimming along the bottom of the trench, looking at the beautiful starfish, corals, colorful seaweeds, shellfish or mollusks of various colors, and seeing if there were any rare things while swimming, suddenly saw a huge flat disc swimming slowly above, with a long, slender tail, and its body flickering and dimming as it inhaled and exhaled the seawater.

It is a Pandora deep-sea red ray, with a body disk of more than ten meters or even tens of meters, which can be regarded as one of the behemoths in the ocean of Pandora planet, it looks like a big pot lid in the past, and it has any color! Anne also had the intention of catching the other party as a mount in the past, but after seeing that the other party was a slow swimmer and didn't seem to be as fast as her own swimmer, she had to dismiss that idea.

“……”

(?????? ｀??)???? *¨*??.????????

Grunt...... Grunt......

I don't know how long it took, Anne, who bubbled up from time to time between her mouth and nose, wandered comfortably in this deep-sea canyon, in this dream-like underwater dream world that emitted colorful light, completely forgetting what she should do or what she needed to do when she came to this Pandora planet, and just played by herself.

From time to time, he grabs slimy, unknown colorful glowing mollusks and shoots them on himself and his sharks, camouflaging himself and his mounts as moving coral reefs; From time to time, he pulls a hapless large snail shell, pulls out the soft body inside and feeds it to his own shark, and then puts the colorful nut that naturally glows on his head as a helmet......

Then, before long, she made herself a set of colorful armor shields made of shells of various sizes, and even broke off a well-proportioned coral rod and stuck it into a sharp, slender pointed cone, which served as a riding spear, and began to drive the innocent fish in the trench with impunity.

"Huh?!"

! (;?? o??) o

Suddenly, Anne quickly stopped her play, and controlled her big fish to hide motionless next to the coral reef on the side.

Because at this time, she saw two shark riders like her swimming in the distance? It's just that the clothes and weapons in the two knights on the top are completely different from the Avatars she knows, and they are obviously not from their side.

“……”

|?? ˙?? ˙)？

"Crooked? Base? Two shark riders were spotted, and they looked like they were swimming towards your base, did you see that? ”

（?? `▽????)??.

It was not convenient to speak in the water, so Anne quickly tapped on the virtual screen and keyboard of the instrument on her wrist, and soon sent an alarm to the dispatch center of the base.

'Base received! ’

'Ultrasonic radar has detected each other, please keep your distance so that they don't get noticed!' ’

'Over! ’

"Okay....."

（?????????? ）

Anne wanted to swim up to say hello, but after hearing the base's reply, she had to follow far behind, swimming almost against the seabed, using the colorful underwater world and the 'camouflage' on her body to avoid the sight of the other party.

However, because she wanted to stay hidden, her speed was not as fast as the two shark riders, so that she was quickly thrown off by the other party, and they were completely out of sight......

"It's really ......"

s (???? ˇεˇ????) ゞ

"What are you going to do!!"

（?? ╭╮?? ）

Annie, who had completely lost her target and didn't know where the other party had gone, complained angrily for a while, and then had to pull the nerve connection braid of the shark mount under her seat, let it start to accelerate, continue to cling to the colorful seabed in order to camouflage, and then rush back in the direction of the base as fast as possible.

'Not good! ’

'They were discovered!!!' ’

Unexpectedly, before Anne could go far, she suddenly heard an exclamation from the communicator in her ear who didn't know who it was.

'Attention! ’

'All Avatars immediately hide in place and are strictly forbidden to return to the base!' ’

'Repeat! ’

'All Avatars immediately hide on the spot, it is strictly forbidden to return, and it is strictly forbidden to expose the location of the base!!!' ’

‘......’
