"So, the fastest way to make money right now is through underground boxing?"

Hu Yue suppressed her nausea and patiently inquired about the rules of the underground city from the butcher.

"Yeah, if you're new to the dungeon and have nothing, and you really want to make money quickly, then you should try underground boxing." The butcher was happy to talk to the man, even though he was human, because he had provided him with fresh meat.

Although he despised those who even preyed on their own kind.

"Otherwise, if you go up alone, not in the dungeon, you'll definitely be overtaken immediately. Besides... you're still injured, aren't you?"

As for how the injuries occurred, even a butcher could figure it out with his toes. With so many fresh corpses, there must have been some cost involved.

"Yes, that's why I chose to come in."

Hu Yue felt embarrassed when she recalled the knowing look the guard gave her when she brought in several corpses after handing over all the energy crystals.

A corpse is not considered property, but the corpse here has value.

Selling these pirate corpses will at least cover her living expenses in the dungeon for the time being, but she needs to plan ahead for the future.

"Once you've recovered, you can go to the underground boxing ring. Whether you're betting on fights or working as a boxer, the pay is good."

As he spoke, the other person picked up a sharp cleaver and chopped the meat on the cutting board into pieces. He then stopped talking and looked up. Seeing this, Hu Yue thanked him softly and turned to leave.

Hu Yue felt she needed to find more information about the underground boxing ring.

She has a terrible headache right now and needs to find a place to rest so she can sort out what happened in the past two days.

She was wanted and hunted for robbery and kidnapping. When she arrived in the outer sea, she got into a fight over the unequal distribution of the loot. If she hadn't been cautious, she might have been the one selling herself on that platform today.

Regarding the dungeon and the butcher shop mentioned in her character's memories, Hu Yue still felt nauseous when she returned to the small bed in her assigned accommodation.

These space pirates have done this before.

When I realized that the original character was really not a good person, I really wanted to curse the game designers for what they were doing. Was it necessary to create such a dark and cruel character for the players to play?

...

After watching the three leave, Mingmei and Muchen returned to their room. Muchen thoughtfully installed a curtain next to Mingmei's bed. Mingmei watched Muchen's actions the whole time, and finally, staring at his back, she suddenly asked, "What exactly does your character do?"

Upon hearing Mingmei ask this question, Mu Chen paused slightly, but he immediately realized that Mingmei had already discovered it.

"Do a little bit of everything."

"Do everything?"

"Hmm." Mu Chen turned around, "The sale of information resources, the assassination and investigation of characters..."

“So your personal computer…” Mingmei glanced at the personal computer on the desk, and Mu Chen replied, “Well… it’s connected not only to the Star Network, but also to the internal local area network of the Outer Star Sea. There are many missions and information that ordinary people cannot access.”

Hearing Mu Chen's answer, which was similar to what she had in mind, Mingmei did not express any displeasure or dissatisfaction. However, when she thought of the Star Network, she sensed that something was amiss.

"StarNet is supported by its mastermind, but have my masterminds been involved in this kind of local area network?"

Mingmei believes that local area networks within the Federation and Empire are controlled by the mainframe, but this kind of local area network in the outer reaches of space... even if the mainframe godfather doesn't mind, these people themselves would probably mind, right? (Reading...)

Mu Chen shook his head at this, as he also had no idea who had set up the local area network in the outer space.

"Perhaps this is a clue that points in the right direction?" Banxiang Mingmei gave her an idea. "Even if the information traffickers in the outer sea sell their information casually, as long as it's online, it will definitely leave a trace. And do you think the person in charge of this local area network would not know?"

"Will the other side know that the information broker is selling information to the Zerg, which will incur the wrath of the Third and Sixth Legions?"

Mingmei's doubts were indeed something worth pondering. After listening and pondering for a moment, Mu Chen was certain that the direction Mingmei was thinking about was indeed something worth investigating.

"Then I'll have to trouble Meimei next."

"Huh?" She had originally intended to suggest an idea to Mu Chen and see how it would be done, but the other party suddenly said something like, "I'm troubling you?"

"Starting today, I will teach you how to use this computer, browse information on the intranet, and view tasks."

"And what about you?" Mingmei was bewildered by Mu Chen's apparent attempt to wash his hands of the business.

"I will be doing better in the ring as a real boxer soon."

During their previous conversation, Mu Chen expressed his desire to demonstrate his strength in order to make contact with higher-level figures, a point that was agreed upon by everyone.

However, his previous roles were also quite commendable, and Mu Chen felt that Mingmei was perfectly capable of taking on those roles.

"Then, can I not take those assassination missions?" Speaking of this, Mingmei seemed to remember something and stared at Mu Chen, asking, "Did you deliberately kill that boxer in the third match today?"

"Yes, I took on a mission earlier."

First, he admitted to his previous actions. Then, Mu Chen told Ming Mei that she didn't have to do those things, but Ming Mei was still curious about Mu Chen's assassination mission.

“When we were watching the match, many people were unhappy that you killed that boxer in the last round. It’s clear that he was not only popular, but he was also well-liked by the audience.”

"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure either. It's just that the character accepted this mission beforehand, so naturally I have to complete it." Mu Chen had also met the boxer he killed while in the lounge.

The person below the stage also seemed very gentle, unlike the lizardman who was so rude and domineering. To be honest, Mu Muchen was curious about the person who placed the bounty.

"Was it a revenge killing?" Mingmei wondered. Mu Chen's judgment of people was rarely wrong, and his assessment of whether a person was good or bad was usually very accurate.

Since Mu Chen also said that the boxer he killed was not bad, then the person who put the bounty on him must have a story to tell.

"That's most likely the case. And that person is very likely from the dungeon." Mu Chen had the rule against fighting and killing in the dungeon etched into his mind.

"Perhaps it's someone from above, but their strength isn't enough. Even if that person goes up, the other side won't be able to do anything to them."

"So, how did you get paid after completing this task? Although you exploited a loophole in the dungeon rules, it shouldn't be a task that can be openly advertised, right? How was your deal completed?"

Mingmei couldn't wait to find out the origin of this mission from Muchen.

Just as the two were chatting inside, there was a sudden knock on their treehouse door...
