Chapter 869: Chapter 869: Can’t Find a Job
What surprised Ji Yang was that as soon as he put up an old Forever Bike, someone started bidding straight away, at twenty credits.
Seeing this situation, Ji Yang’s eyes lit up. Could he really sell it as an antique?
Meanwhile, it seemed like some other items had caught people’s attention.
The Rubik’s Cube already had a fifty-credit bid.
Not only that, an off-road vehicle also attracted bids, reaching two hundred credits.
With those two hundred credits rolling in, Ji Yang immediately felt a sense of relief; it seemed his hundred-credit investment might not have been in vain.
With no more credits available to spend, and seeing the number of bidders increasing, Ji Yang decided not to linger but headed outside.
The streets were brightly lit with bustling bars and vibrant crowds. Amid such surroundings, Ji Yang increasingly felt he had returned to an Earth-like situation.
After observing for a while and checking his personal terminal, Ji Yang realized that traditional vehicles like cars were long gone. They were considered outdated, as everyone now owned personal teleportation devices, capable of transporting individuals anywhere at the cost of some credits.
As for why people walked on the streets instead of teleporting, it was because they preferred the lively atmosphere.
Ji Yang also noticed a store selling personal teleportation devices, showcasing a wide variety.
But Ji Yang just took a look; he knew he couldn’t afford one right now.
Unknowingly, Ji Yang stumbled upon a place where people were eating, chatting, and engaging in various entertainment activities.
Ji Yang discovered that many things from Earth were absent here, as almost everything could be done on one’s personal terminal.
Finding a job was incredibly difficult for Ji Yang; for someone like him, if he couldn’t sell items, earning credits would be almost impossible.
No factories were hiring as robots could accomplish everything, and even in battle, human participation wasn’t necessary as robots could replace them.
Regarding management, once the programs were set, everything was well-managed. It dawned on Ji Yang that the young man who had assisted him in joining Haotian Gate was in fact a robot, though he hadn’t realized it until now.
Humans basically had nothing to do; if there was anything, it was to constantly enhance their cultivation.
To improve their cultivation, individuals had to rely on themselves, although many pills and substances could help. However, these items were costly, and cultivating also depended on one’s innate talents. If one’s innate abilities were lacking, even with researched drugs, the chances of significant improvement weren’t high.
If there were tasks available, humans might serve as Sphere Leaders for certain planets. The better planets were expensive, and going to ordinary ones didn’t aid in cultivation improvement.
Of course, there’s also an advantage in rising through the ranks within the sect; as one’s status improves, various benefits follow.
Can’t understand!
Ji Yang couldn’t comprehend the current lifestyle, and was far from adapting to it.
Fortunately, Ji Yang noticed one thing: although Mortal Dust Qi from Earth was disadvantageous for cultivators, it greatly benefited the enhancement of his cultivation.
After wandering the streets for a while, Ji Yang didn’t find any business opportunities—every possible venture was already someone else’s domain. As an outsider, his chances seemed slim. Nonetheless, Ji Yang saw that if disciples really couldn’t survive, they could accept the task of managing a resource-less planet as Sphere Leaders or register to become commanders in interdimensional conflicts.
Ji Yang was genuinely uninterested in these matters; he still considered selling items as his best option.
