Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

The bottom line?

Or the contribution points?

Yelang was indecisive.

Particularly when he was cross-dressed, the heat in the live broadcast room was indeed explosive, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

As he was still wavering, a group of clueless brothers had already surrounded him, inviting him to dance.

Winter Melon didn’t feel offended at all, and instead, she “haha” laughed non-stop.

If she wasn’t afraid of angering Yelang, she would have already taken out her camera.

Fortunately, Yelang’s older sister had a conscience and dove into the crowd to rescue Yelang.

She also helped him make a decision—his older sister changed her dance routine and led him into the second round of dancing.

And Yi, he also made up his mind.

—It wasn’t about cross-dressing.

He had no plans to steal Yelang’s thunder; he intended to create some differentiated competition.

“Brothers, I need some assemble-able steel walking sticks custom-made!”

What are you up to?” The room administrator asked in surprise.

“I’m going to learn pole dancing!

In the zero-gravity dance floor, it should not be that difficult.” Yi opened the panel with determination, looking for a pole dance tutorial video.

“You’re awesome!” The room administrator expressed admiration once again.

“Awesome indeed!

Leave it to me.

I promise to get it done for you as quickly as possible!”

A blacksmith fan stepped up, voluntarily taking up the task, and furthermore—it was free of charge!

…

…

Compared to these ambitious people only wishing to dance, Thomas, aspiring to become the “King of Part-Time Jobs”, had a far richer experience these past few days!

ƝονǤօ.ᴄᴑ

He tried out various jobs such as “security guard,” “cleaner,” “cashier,” “chef,” “sales clerk,” “barista,” “delivery man,” and so on.

The earnings weren’t very high—at least not as high as dancing, but since he got the ID card for free, these earnings can be used to boost his permission levels.

After the first upgrade, he had access to places like a supermarket, a coffee shop, a bakery, a clothing store, a gym, etc.

—It’s unclear whether it’s because Cloud Dream had not opened or the space station had not officially started operation that these stores were low in stock and many of the equipment were not functioning properly.

Still, Thomas tried out all sorts of part-time jobs and even returned to the space dance hall as a “fitness coach” to sell fitness cards.

Though, the gym didn’t even have power yet…

But the commission was high!

After the second upgrade, he gained access to a pet shop, a mechanical repair shop, a medical clinic, and a fire department.

Right after entering the pet shop, he was completely captivated by a mechanical raccoon.

He desperately wanted to buy this little guy.

But the price was astonishingly high at 8000 contribution points!

Just upgrading his permission level twice had cost him 3000 points.

Impoverished Thomas had no choice but to abandon the idea of purchasing a pet.

—Instead, he went to the fire department and got a pump-action mechanical fire axe.

With a few swings, he smashed the metal cage of the mechanical raccoon.

As soon as he smashed the cage, the raccoon ran away.

Thomas had to struggle to capture it.

Only after he worked as a pet shop sales clerk did he understand:

There was a process of ownership registration involved.

This information would be synced to the space station management system.

If pets were illegally seized, this synchronization would tag him with the identity of a “thief”.

Thomas had no choice but to give up the idea of “taking it himself”—being tagged as a criminal would undoubtedly hinder him from becoming the “King of Part-Time Jobs”.

Next, came his third upgrade of permission.

This was a critical upgrade because after it, he opened up the closed gates on both sides of the street!

And then, he found his destined profession—

Being a farmer.

When the gate farthest from the dance hall opened, it astonishingly led to a vast farmland!

This greatly surpassed Thomas’s expectations.

This is a space station!

It’s one thing to have this “commercial street”, at least the streets and buildings are made of steel.

But now, vast tracts of land are appearing out of nowhere!

Just how big is this space?!

Also, the space station is now facing a serious crisis of barrier leaks.

The air is periodically sucked out.

Can these open farmlands really grow crops?

The answer is yes.

The sky looks fully interconnected, but in reality, it’s just like the station’s divisions, broken up into separate compartments.

Thomas saw with his own eyes: when a periodic malfunction occurred on the commercial street, it was calm here.

Only at the intersection of the two zones was the air faintly distorted.

Clearly, this is some kind of incredible fantasy technology.

With this assurance, Thomas could explore here with ease.

As a man aspiring to become the King of Part-time Jobs, it didn’t take him much effort to figure out what jobs were available here.

There were quite a few to be honest.

There were positions such as farm manager, farm technician, farm procurement officer, farm financial officer… all kinds of jobs were available.

But as a “white card” holder, he couldn’t do any of them.

He could only do the simplest jobs that didn’t require any qualifications, like being a basic peasant.

He couldn’t even be a slightly more advanced farmer.

Thomas was a bit frustrated, but with the goal of experiencing diverse jobs, he tried anyway.

Then he was surprised to find:

Whether he was plowing fields or planting vegetables, his efficiency was astounding!

The “Saviour of Pandora” achievement was having an effect!

Although because he had left Pandora, this effect had dropped to only 20%, but it was still extremely strong.

When they were planting in Pandora, the plants would grow visibly slowly.

But here, a mere hour later, the farm’s smart management system sent a robot milking worker to find him, suggesting that he participate in training and apply for the “professional farmer certificate”.

Additionally, due to his “excellent farming talent”, he would get extra bonus points.

In the space age, even being a farmer required certification, and there were five levels, covering various skills and knowledge such as planting, breeding, driving agricultural machinery, using farm equipment, and farm management.

Without a word, Thomas took the exam.

And failed.

He relaxed a bit in Night City and then took the exam again.

And failed again.

After the third time, he finally obtained the most basic level one qualification certificate.

Then, his white ID card was upgraded to green.

In other words, from now on, he was also a “technical worker”.

Next, would he continue to work part-time as a farmer?

Of course not!

Thomas quickly found the Agricultural Zone Bank and applied for the “Special Agriculture Loan”.

Then he rented an agricultural tractor and went around almost the entire agricultural zone, securing a super farm of about 15 acres, becoming the first farm owner in the space station.

Just like that, while Yi and Yelang were still making money through “selling themselves”, Thomas had lept from being a worker to owning production resources as a capitalist!

He had even thought of his next steps –

Earn money, repay the loan, mortgage the farm, and then – buy more land!

The game he was playing was land consolidation!

Forget the space station crisis, high-tech pets, interstellar spaceships, starry seas…

All these can wait.

He’s playing a rich tycoon’s script!

Let’s set a small goal first –

Monopolize the space station, starting with being a farm owner!
