Chapter 427: Chapter 157: Spatial Auction, Metaphysical Rush Purchase (Part 4)

Upon entering the field, after pupil verification, he arrived at the changing room.

Donning protective gear numbered 323, he proceeded directly to the mechanical platform.

The robotic arms on the platform automatically functioned, outfitting him with a set of exoskeleton armor.

This equipment enables him to easily transport minerals heavier than his own weight and provides additional safety protection.

The principle is simple: based on sensors detecting the human body’s motion intent, like muscle electrical signals and joint angle changes, it automatically drives the power system to provide support force, coordinating the exoskeleton’s movements with the human body.

Once fully equipped, a beam of light scanned from head to toe to inspect the protective gear’s seal integrity.

When the green light lit up, Tong Xin stepped down from the mechanical platform, pushed open the changing room door, and walked straight toward the field marked with a skull and radiation sign.

After passing through two doors requiring identity verification, he arrived at the radiation zone.

Here, large quantities of Spirit Ore nurtured by energy radiation were piled up.

The technology originates from the Moon Eclipse Clan.

Due to Earth’s scarcity of spiritual material, there is no basic foundation to nurture Spirit Ore.

Thus, the creation of Spirit Ore is achieved through special radiation injecting energy.

The environment here is extremely hazardous, but the benefits are incredibly high.

After connecting with a colleague for shift exchange, Tong Xin began to work, cutting Spirit Ore with tools and placing them on the cart behind him.

Soon they would be sent to the end where a giant transport vehicle was located; the transport vehicle was also treated for radiation isolation, with the outer isolation layer being 0.3 meters thick.

Intelligent robots cannot operate in this environment, as they would shut down upon entry.

Not even mobile phones can be used here.

The high-radiation environment contains numerous high-energy particles and rays, which strongly interfere with the electromagnetic signals that mobile phones receive and transmit.

It also causes hardware impact.

The electronic components inside mobile phones are designed based on a certain electromagnetic environment; strong radiation causes ionization effects and thermal effects on these components, leading to permanent damage.

Before coming here, Tong Xin heard that accidents had occurred where employees suffered from strong radiation due to improper protective gear.

They died from bodily decay while being sent to Eclipse City on the Moon for emergency treatment.

Subsequently, a protective gear seal integrity detection device was added here, and such incidents have almost ceased.

Despite the danger, Tong Xin willingly works diligently here.

A monthly income of 22,000, with short working hours and decent benefits.

Here, no communication devices can be used, so while workers are enveloped in protective gear, they have no interaction throughout the working hours, which makes the work process extremely dull for Tong Xin.

The only thing he can do is weave various stories in his mind.

Among them is successfully obtaining the Dark Land qualification and returning to the Child Group.

Then, numerous encounters in the game lead to vast fortune, and his skills quickly surpass those boastful good brothers.

During work, Tong Xin multitasks.

After a busy six hours, Tong Xin changes clothes and takes a taxi to leave.

At 11 PM, he arrived at a downtown bar.

Opening the door, the music inside the bar was deafening, colorful lights flashed crazily with the music rhythm, the crowd twisted their bodies wantonly in the dance floor, and the heat combined with the smell of smoke and alcohol assaulted the senses.

His job at the bar was promoting beverages.

Compared to cold robotic drink promotion, humans doing this job earn more customer goodwill.

This is also why he was hired successfully, with earnings calculated as a 17% commission on the total price of beverages sold that day.

Busy until 3 AM, Tong Xin rushed home.

Before starting the game, he took pre-made food from the fridge, heated it, and wolfed it down.

Although pre-made, it tasted good, all meticulously prepared by robotic chefs.

From a nutritional perspective, or considering food safety in this era, pre-made food is the best choice for ordinary people.

Returning to his room.

Tong Xin entered the bathroom to wash off the smell of smoke and alcohol, changed into loose clothes, and took a deep breath of relief.

Sitting on the bed, he took out his phone and stared blankly at the balance.

After months of hard work, deducting living expenses, he had 84,722 yuan left.

He was still over 40,000 yuan short of buying the Dark Land game qualification.

He needed to persist for two more months.

Recalling the divine days good brothers lived as seen in group chats, he felt incredibly miserable by comparison.

Browsing through group chats, the good brothers were all offline, but their chat contents stabbed him with every word.

Preschool Group - Squad Leader: If it weren’t for leveling up, earning ten thousand a day would be like play, there are far more pay-to-play players in this game than the labor players, it’s awesome.

Preschool Group - Tie Chui: Another 200,000 in the account (screenshot), sold some sacrificial power to the Divine King, the rest goes to Star Elevation Pulse, recently not planning to sell sacrificial power, enough cash to spend is fine, too much money is meaningless, many things in Moon Eclipse Clan require queuing, with money doesn’t guarantee acquisition.

Preschool Group - Black Ball: The Spirit Plant in the Spirit Field has just matured, sold them all to the Alchemist Guild, earning 100,000 while lying down, the day of wealth redistribution has really arrived.

Preschool Group - Zui Nai: To meet the preschool director for a meal when available, he hasn’t replied in the group for a long time, I’m worried whether he has been radiated to death.

Feeling increasingly devastated, Tong Xin immediately typed a line of words:

Preschool director: You guys are really despicable, flaunting trade screenshots, have you ever considered my feelings?

Preschool director: I advise you to stop showing off, otherwise the boat of friendship will capsize, I’m quitting the group now (Sword against the neck, don’t push me.jpg).
