Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

Seemingly sensing Lin Hui's anger, Haz said pitifully:

"Master, Haz... I know I was wrong. Haz swears I'll never eat food picked up by others again!"

Lin Hui sighed, then looked at the green-haired boy who was still holding up the meatballs with an expectant look on his face, and shook his head, saying, "I'm already full."

The young man with the green hair wasn't angry at being refused; instead, he chuckled and said, "Sure! Just let me know if you want some, and I'll get you some more!"

"I won't go out to eat with you anymore..." Lin Hui picked up the cup on the table and tactically took a sip of tea.

"Eat! Everyone, eat up! Don't be shy! This restaurant's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is absolutely amazing!" The young man with the green hair was in high spirits and enthusiastically invited everyone to eat.

Sitting diagonally opposite, the cute and cuddly Xiao Li was holding a small white porcelain bowl.

She scooped up a spoonful of the rich, golden broth and put it in her mouth. Instantly, the mellow and savory flavors of sea cucumber, abalone, and dried scallops exploded on her taste buds.

"It's so delicious..." Xiao Li's eyes lit up, and a satisfied smile, like that of a kitten, appeared on her face.

She looked up at Jess and asked curiously, "Brother Jess, you seem to know this place very well. Do you come here often?"

"Absolutely!" Jess, the green-haired youth, proudly stroked his flamboyant green hair and chuckled.

"My best brother is a steward of the Pangu Guild, and this shop is owned by their guild. I'm a regular here!"

At this point, Jess gave a thumbs-up and praised:

"The food on your Earth, China, is so delicious! I wish I could go to Earth someday!"

Hearing that their hometown cuisine had been recognized, Lu Tianming and the others showed warm smiles.

After their casual conversation, Jess, with his exceptional social skills, gained some understanding of Lu Tianming's team and Lin Yiyi, learning that they were all new players who had just arrived in the player star domain.

"Oh, right..."

Jess put down his chopsticks, glanced at Lu Tianming and the others, and asked seriously, "You've only just arrived in Silvercrown City today. What are your plans for the future?"

Upon hearing this topic, Lu Tianming's hand paused slightly.

This is indeed a real problem.

So he looked at Jess and asked, "Brother Jess, you're a veteran of the Player Starfield, do you have any good suggestions?"

Jess's lips curled into a slight smile upon hearing this. "Just two words... make money!"

"Make money?" Lu Tianming and the others were all taken aback.

Jess nodded and said, "As players, our primary task is to survive in the ranked dungeons!"

"In this player star system, all guarantees of survival are built upon star coins!"

"Want to upgrade your vehicle quickly? You need money! Want to buy information on ranked dungeons? You need money! Buying items, potions, starstones... all of these require a huge amount of money!"

"While we players are far better at earning money than ordinary civilians, we spend it even faster. Without Star Coins, you'll have a very difficult time surviving in this star system!"

Upon hearing these words, Lu Tianming and the others sighed deeply.

They just took a stroll through the Alliance Trading Post and have already experienced this firsthand.

A dazzling array of epic-level external weapons, advanced potions, epic-level items... any one of them costs tens of millions of star coins.

It's too expensive; I simply can't afford it.

They never imagined that becoming gamers, possessing extraordinary abilities, would mean worrying about money and having to go to work...

Resources are too scarce in the first three dungeons; even if you have money, there's nowhere to spend it.

The player star system has existed for tens of thousands of years, its social hierarchy is firmly established, and resources are tightly controlled by major powers. We newcomers are starting from a very low point.

Hearing everyone's sighs, Lin Hui continued to silently hold his teacup.

He can synthesize an unlimited number of high-grade metals.

It's like printing money...

However, unlike other instances, where he could trade high-level metals without restraint.

In the player's star system.

If he does that, he'll be targeted sooner or later!

Seeing the somewhat heavy atmosphere, Jess smiled and said:

"Don't be so pessimistic! For newcomers who have just entered the player star system, there are generally three options if they want to make money."

Everyone immediately perked up their ears.

"First, join a faction. The best choice is of course the top five factions, followed by first-class factions, such as the Balk Guild we met today."

These behemoth powers have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years, and their internal treasuries have accumulated a vast amount of items, materials, and dungeon information.

By becoming a guild member, you can obtain it at a lower price or by exchanging it with guild contribution points, which is much cheaper than buying it outside.

"It's fair to say that joining a powerful faction is the preferred choice for over 90% of new players, as it's beneficial to take shelter under a large tree."

"But there is a fatal flaw: no freedom. You have to obey the guild's orders and even act as cannon fodder in guild conflicts."

Jeston paused, then added:

"Of course, the more powerful the organization, the higher the hiring threshold. What they value may not be your combat strength, but your expertise, or even your outstanding business management skills and high intelligence."

"For example, players specializing in mechanics, even if you're only at Tier 1, will be highly sought after by companies like Sol Heavy Industries and Mars Technology!!"

"And the second one?" Xiao Li asked curiously.

"Secondly, we need to establish our own guild!"

Jess continued:

"But this path is the most difficult. To establish a guild, in addition to strong combat capabilities, you or your team members must also know how to run a business."

"In this player-dominated star system, if a guild doesn't have its own businesses, it has no stable source of income. Without benefits, who the hell would be willing to risk their life for you? It holds no appeal for other players!"

Lu Tianming and the others nodded in deep agreement.

"What about the third option?"

"The third path..." Jess grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, "is to become a bounty hunter!"

"A bounty hunter?" Xiao Li blinked.

Jess took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and explained:

"In every city of the player's star system, there are bounty halls set up by bounty guilds. Hundreds of thousands of bounty missions are refreshed there every day."

"Of course, you don't need to go to the lobby every day to accept missions. Just download the Bounty Guild's internal app on your communication wristband, and all missions will be clearly displayed."

"That app also has a dedicated forum where you can post casually. The guys there are all really talented, and they're all very friendly. It's quite fun chatting on the forum..."

As he spoke, Jess activated his communication bracelet, projecting a badge that emitted a golden glow into the air.

"I am, in my humble opinion, a bounty hunter, and I've already reached the Gold rank!"

"Bounty hunters are ranked?" Lu Tianming asked in surprise.
