Chapter 93 Fame
"Master, that island seems to be getting closer to us."

Hearing Xiaobai's words, Jiang Ran looked up at the screen in the control room.

Sure enough, the island, which was previously just a small black dot, is now almost completely visible in its outline.

The island is about the same size as in the previous life. Although it is called an island, its area is no more than the size of two football fields, and the highest peak in the middle is no more than 20 meters above sea level.

It is indeed a very small island, but it has many trees and other resources, such as fresh water and even edible fruits and animals, making it a highly contested area.

But that was the previous life. In this life, since there are islanders or pirates on the island, things might be different.

After scouting the island, Jiang Ran found no pirate flags or ships resembling pirates, but still instructed Xiao Bai to prepare for battle.

When upgrading the ship, I also specifically upgraded the engine, so that if anything goes wrong, I can immediately create distance and then suppress the enemy with firepower.

Jiang Ran hesitated for a moment, but still didn't use the bow transformation device. In this situation, five minutes wouldn't be enough.

She only had Xiaobai wear a mask, while she changed into an all-black combat suit, making her look even more like a combat stunt double.

In just a short while, the island was already in sight.

At the same time as Jiang Ran's ship, there were four or five other ships docked.

I don’t know if it’s because of the game’s excellent matchmaking system, but apart from Jiang Ran, all the other ships look like they’ve been upgraded at least two or three times, and some even have iron plates on the outside.

Of course, these boats are still somewhat insignificant compared to Jiang Ran's "houseboat," especially since her house is equipped with four giant mechanical arms.

This was the tool she used to retrieve floating wooden crates. Later, she discovered that it could also be used to fish for crates. If she caught any dangerous creatures, the smaller ones could handle themselves, while the larger ones would be handled by Jiang Ran.

As Jiang Ran was examining other people's boats, she attracted everyone's attention.

Her ship was simply too unique—even if there were players who shared her ideas, they either lacked the skills or the materials.

Therefore, after just one meeting, everyone already had a common understanding: this is a big shot.

On that ship, which was covered in iron sheets and already had the beginnings of a cruise ship, there were eleven or twelve players.

The leader stared at Jiang Ran's ship with a wary look on his face and instructed, "The islanders on this island should be relatively friendly to players. Don't provoke them unless necessary."

"Others will definitely want us to confront the owner of that house. Although there are people who sell robotic arms, they are extremely expensive. To use one so extravagantly... I suspect it's the young lady's ship."

"In a bit, check if the people getting off the ship are a man and a woman wearing masks. If they are, you better stay away from them! Don't cause me any trouble. If you drag me down with you, I'll be the first to kill him."

Someone below was puzzled: "The young lady isn't even ranked on the Heavenly Ranking, why is she so afraid of him? Didn't they say before that her supplies were all given to her by the number one on the Heavenly Ranking? If she kills him here, then..."

"boom--"

Before he could finish speaking, the leader shot him dead.

His face contorted with rage as he glared at the panicked people below, who had been thrown into disarray by his sudden attack: "I'll say it again, don't have such stupid ideas. Some of you only joined our train later and don't know who this young lady is. "Back then, he single-handedly took down two guild leaders in front of everyone and escaped unscathed. You should all think about how many bullets you could take."

On the other boats, there were five or six people at most, and two or three at least, and they all had companions. They were also quietly discussing Jiang Ran's boat.

So, when Jiang Ran led Xiao Bai to open the door, disembark, and land on the island, ready to fight the island raiders, they were surprised to find that the boat that had been docked had not only failed to allow them to disembark, but had simply left without looking back.

On the only remaining ship covered with iron sheets, a slightly overweight middle-aged man with a somewhat ingratiating smile said to Xiaobai, "Are you Miss? We have no intention of seizing the island, but we would like to cut down some trees and pick some fruit on the island. Is that alright?"

His fawning manner made it seem as if he would leave the island without looking back the moment Xiaobai uttered a single "no."

Jiang Ran: ?
She looked at Xiaobai with some confusion: What's wrong with these people? Did they find something wrong with this island? We haven't seen any pirates.

Xiao Bai chuckled softly behind the mask and waved his hand, acknowledging the middle-aged man's request.

While those people were carefully cutting down trees, not daring to even get a little closer to the center of the mountain, Xiaobai suppressed a laugh and said to Jiang Ran, "Master, is it possible that everyone is afraid of offending Miss?"

After all, the two of them appearing with masks on perfectly matched the rumored image of a young lady from a wealthy family.

In addition, with its overly flamboyant ship design, who would want to offend a vengeful and powerful young lady to her face?
Jiang Ran was caught up in the situation, so she didn't realize that the young lady was now a complete "tyrant" on the train.

Realizing this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This saves a lot of trouble. Let's go get the runestones first."

The island was supposed to be inhabited, but after staying for so long, they hadn't seen a single person. The mountain was covered in trees and didn't look like a habitable place. Where could the person be?

Ignoring the people who were cutting down trees and looking for freshwater, Jiang Ran put the boat into her spatial storage and headed into the mountains.

The rune stones were relatively easy to find; they could be found as long as one reached the mountaintop. However, as soon as the two reached the summit, they faintly heard screams coming from below, accompanied by some incomprehensible cries.

After binding and storing the glowing rune, Jiang Ran carefully examined the voice: "Pirate or player? It can't be an islander, can it?"

After all, the islanders were supposed to be approachable.

The two quietly made their way down the mountain and hid behind a large tree to observe the rather horrific scene.

The players who had been chopping down trees were now all lying in pools of blood. Two burly men, at least three meters tall, shirtless, with thick beards obscuring their faces, were carrying blood-dripping axes in one hand and dragging the players by the legs with the other, heading towards the sea.

Jiang Ran frowned. Where did these people come from?

Judging from their attire, they don't look like pirates at all; they look more like islanders... You call that approachable?

Jiang Ran, with her sharp eyes, noticed what appeared to be splattered blood on the burly man's body, but saw no wounds.

As one of the players was being dragged away, a pistol fell from his body.
