"You must have cheated. All our positions are none, so why is your position Cyberminer?!"

"And how can you have over 1000 Fixed Star Coupons?"

"You just recently got your Level 1 resident benefits. Be honest, where did you get those Fixed Star Coupons from? I’m telling you, don’t try these little tricks on the train. President Ai will surely find out, and you’re doomed!"

"You better stay away from me, don’t drag me into this."

"Hi."

Da Mao grinned nonchalantly and said, "I earned it, why should I be afraid? These real-time changes to the resident panel have to go through President Ai’s database. Besides him, who can modify it?"

"A few days ago, when Pig Train Captain came to recruit Cyberminers, I signed up."

"Dig up one mine, and you get 1000 Fixed Star Coupons as a reward."

"How is it, not bad right?"

"Also, my Spiritual Power increased a lot. I feel like my brain is more agile now. If I were to write code again, I’d probably do it better and faster than before."

"Alright."

"I was just showing off. We both came from the Azure Dragon train, look at me now, and then look at you, still at Level 2 resident benefits. Sigh, what am I supposed to say to you?"

"Keep it up."

The brawny man meaningfully patted the young man’s shoulder, placed his hands behind his head, and walked off into the distance, mulling over.

"How should I spend these 1000 Fixed Star Coupons?"

"Sigh, it’s so hard to decide."

"Suddenly having so much wealth is a bit hard to adjust to."

"..."

The young man looked dumbfounded at Da Mao’s departing figure. After confirming that he didn’t actually cheat to modify the number of Fixed Star Coupons, he couldn’t help but jog over to Old Pig not far away, respectfully offering a cigarette.

"Pig Train Captain, I want to be a Cyberminer too, this..."

"You?"

Leaning against the train, Old Pig took the cigarette offered by the young man and said casually, "The Cyberminers are temporarily full right now, but they should expand later."

"If you want to sign up now, I’ll put your name down for the next recruitment."

"Cyberminers mine in their sleep and wake up every hour."

"Once you join, it’s hard to leave without Master Mang’s approval."

"I definitely won’t bother Master Mang with such a trivial matter. If you dare bring this up when Master Mang comes to inspect, I’ll make sure you regret it."

"Understand?"

"Well..."

The young man tentatively asked, "I heard that just digging up one mine rewards you with 1000 Fixed Star Coupons, is that true?"

"Yes, and the daily minimum is 1 Fixed Star Coupon."

"I’ve made up my mind, Pig Train Captain. I’ve been determined since I was a kid. Unless I die in the Cyber Mine, I won’t voluntarily drop out!"

"Leave your resident ID."

"My resident ID is 5012. Thanks for the trouble, Pig Train Captain."

"Get on with it."

"Alright, alright."

...

Leaning against the train, Old Pig lit up the cigarette in his hand, looking slightly peculiar as he watched the young man leave. He knew the operational principles of the Cyber Mine and felt it was a bit torturous...

Sleeping 12 hours a day, waking up every hour.

It was in a low-oxygen environment too.

Long term, you’ll be lucky not to suffer mental breakdowns.

But—

He thought carefully, maybe he had gotten too used to the good life, even finding this level torturous. It was way better than the conditions on Master Kun’s train back then.

But the profit output was indeed astounding.

Just one day had passed, and they already received 1 billion units of iron ore.

He heard from President Ai some insider news that he was happy about, not just Master Mang was happy; he would also be happy along with him. More than anything, it was because the Fixed Star could definitely develop faster after this.

"1 billion units of iron ore, what an astronomical figure..."

Old Pig sighed in amazement.

A few months ago, they were fighting with zombies over thousands, even tens of thousands, of units of iron ore in the Tieling Wasteland. How long had it been, and they could now produce 1 billion units of iron ore.

It felt like a lifetime ago.

It seemed like it wasn’t just a few months, but several years.

He didn’t say anything more, just continued standing there, watching the residents mine. When he had nothing to do, he liked to watch the residents mine; it gave him a sense of happiness.

...

Before long.

The "Cyber Mine" was off work; all the Cyberminers would spray themselves on the butt with the spray from the table beside them before leaving the mine, making sure the needle pricks healed completely, and then they would leave the mine.

About a few dozen minutes later.

Chen Mang, along with Old Pig, Ai, and the others, arrived at this area again.

After consuming 20.4 million units of iron ore, they crafted 40 new Level 100 single beds.

So—

The number of "Cyber Mining Machines" reached 50 units.

A brand new "Dream Stone" was placed at the head of each single bed, making this the cradle of dreams and the launching pad for Fixed Star.

"Old Pig."

Chen Mang tilted his head towards Old Pig and said, "Go find 40 more miners."

"Yes!"

...

The night was getting late.

Chen Mang didn’t do much more and just cleaned up and prepared to sleep. He didn’t create a dream for himself, since in the past few days he had been mining in his dreams, waking up each time exhausted and sore, but now with the Cyber Mine in place, he could just sleep naturally.
