This morning, she had just spent all the funds in her main account on auxiliary medicines. She had thought that with the purification potions, she would make a fortune and alleviate her financial crisis. Little did she know that even with the potions, selling them freely was not an option. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have let her pride get in the way and refused the protection money offered by Meng Xingchen.
"Do you have any quick ways to make money?"
Bai Zhenzhen looked at her friend’s dejected expression and couldn't help but smile. She had seen Lin Yao strategizing and displaying exceptional combat skills, thinking she was a big shot, only to realize that in reality, she was completely clueless about everyday life. The contrast was amusing.
Suppressing her laughter, Bai Zhenzhen said, "Shall I help you look for options?"
Seeing the suppressed laughter on her face, Lin Yao understood that she was being unrealistic. "Forget it; I'll find a way to earn money myself!"
Using the memories of the main host, although initially, the retrieval method felt like watching a movie, after experiencing the invasion of the White Scale Jiao's spiritual entity, Lin Yao discovered that the host's memories hadn't disappeared but had transformed into memory clusters stored in her mental sea. Whenever she needed them, she could immerse her consciousness in the mental sea to retrieve those memories.
Flipping through the host's memories, Lin Yao realized that to search for information, she could use the light brain to access the Star Network. Since Lin Yao was born after the Shattered Galaxy on Mingguang Star, she had never enjoyed the Star Network; her exposure was limited to the base area network, which could only be used within the base.
In reviewing the host's memories, she learned that the Star Network not only contained vast information but also allowed advanced light brains to project images, creating an immersive experience. Although the host's light brain wasn't that powerful, it could project a screen as large as a computer monitor, which was still convenient for searching for information.
Following what she saw in the host's memories, Lin Yao activated a light screen and virtual keyboard, typing in "how to make money quickly" in the search box. After pressing the search button, the screen immediately switched to display multiple entries.
Lin Yao clicked through them one by one, finding each suggestion less credible than the last. Some responses even stated: "I just want to see who has a hole in their brain to search for this question. If there were a quick way to make money without breaking the law, everyone would keep it to themselves instead of posting it online!"
Though harshly put, there was some truth to it. Just as Lin Yao was about to give up after reading through these entries, a bright title caught her eye: "Starlight Mercenary Corps Recruiting Temporary Team Members for Missions—Excellent Benefits."
Her instinct kicked in faster than her thoughts; upon seeing the title, Lin Yao clicked on the page immediately. The description on the page was very formal; it included not only registration information for the Starlight Mercenary Corps but also detailed descriptions of available missions.
Mission content: Go to the adventure planet, kill alien beasts, and pick out alien creatures. Mission time: Yunmeng star calendar year month day Mission location: Star Mission requirements: Super power level three or above. Mission reward: guaranteed star coins, mission success, additional harvest. Please call us for details. The time is very close, just two days later, the requirements are met. Lin Yao looked very reasonable, so she added the communication number without much hesitation. The other party quickly agreed. Lin Yao sent the information he read on Xingwang to the other party and asked if they were still recruiting people. Starlight Mercenary Group: Still here, are you a wood superpower? Lin Yao: Yes. Wood level now. Starlight Mercenary Group: Can you show me your identity information? Lin Yao searched the master's memory and found that there was nothing taboo about it, so she intercepted the identity information and sent it to the other party. Starlight Mercenary Group: You just graduated from junior high school. Lin Yao: Yes. However, I have passed the practical test and have good combat experience, so I won’t hold you back. Starlight Mercenary Group: Then come to the Yue Airport Transfer Station, and we will depart from there. Lin Yao didn't expect it to pass so easily. When she takes over other people's tasks at the base, the other party has to make an appointment to see her strength before agreeing. Why does this Starlight Mercenary Group seem a bit sloppy, and it was approved after just looking at the identity information? However, she wasn't too worried. With her current strength and Yunmengxing's average level, if she couldn't defeat him, she would have no problem escaping. The matter of going on a mission to the star was decided. Lin Yao took advantage of these two days to prepare some things for the mission. There is no obvious advantage in Yunmengxing's other technologies, but space supplies are developing rapidly. Ordinary space buckles, less than square meters, cost 300,000 star coins when the master was young.
Now, in just about ten years, the price had dropped to under ten thousand Star Coins. Of course, this was for a regular space pouch, which could only be used for storing items without any additional capabilities, not even the ability to conceal one's presence.
Those advanced space pouches, which had various functions, were not accessible to the likes of the main character. They were as rare as purification potions and could only be obtained through auctions. The main character possessed a small space pouch of one square meter that was bought by their father ten years ago. Because it was gene-bound, it was useless to anyone else and thus had been preserved.
While it didn’t have the ability to mask one’s presence, it was still quite effective for keeping things discreet. Lin Yao prepared some camping gear, weapons, and nutritional supplements and stored them in the pouch.
After saying a quick goodbye to Bai Zhenzhen, Lin Yao made her way to the shuttle station with light luggage.
Lin Yao: I’m here, where are you?
Starshine Mercenary Group: Send me your location, I’ll come find you.
After some back and forth, Lin Yao sent her location. Soon after, a flamboyant woman dressed rather provocatively approached her.
With a bright smile on her face, she looked at the youthful Lin Yao and said, "You must be my little sister! I’m Sister Hong from the Starshine Mercenary Group. Come with me; I’ll take you to the rendezvous point."
Having encountered many such characters in her past life, Lin Yao maintained a neutral expression without showing any signs of discomfort or displeasure; she simply nodded lightly.
Sister Hong led Lin Yao deeper into a more secluded area until they finally stopped in front of a dilapidated spaceship. By this time, several people were already standing in front of the shabby vessel. Sister Hong didn’t introduce them, but they seemed to be members of the mercenary group.
However, the way they stood around casually gave Lin Yao an impression that this mercenary group might not be very reliable. Besides those laid-back mercenaries, there were also a few young individuals who looked out of place and particularly inexperienced, much like Lin Yao herself.
Seeing their bewildered and innocent expressions, it seemed they were also here on a mission to earn some money.
At that moment, a burly man stepped out from the spaceship and shouted loudly, "Is everyone here?"
Sister Hong replied, "Everyone is here."
"Then let’s board the ship and set off!" The burly man commanded. The few individuals gathered around began to encircle the inexperienced newcomers.
