After leaving the maintenance shop, Chen Ming came to the central area of ​​the space station.

Corresponding to the huge dock is a small city located on the space station.

The entire city is illuminated by a large number of light tubes installed on the top of the space station.

From the edge of the core area, Chen Ming could see a high-rise building more than ten stories high located in the center of the city.

That's the Space Station Administration.

Buildings of varying importance are distributed outward in rings starting from the Administration Building.

The area where Chen Ming is standing now, close to the space arm, is basically filled with shops and houses.

Through the daily clothing of the people passing by here, Chen Ming could indeed confirm that many people settled here.

Although Chen Ming was very curious about how the people who settled here lived and what they did in their daily lives, now was not the time to do that.

Chen Ming looked around.

The streets within sight, including the main roads, are filled with shops selling daily necessities and food, and there is no place for what you need.

So Chen Ming opened the map that the administration had sent to the group when he connected to the Internet before, and located his position on the map.

You can see that there are many marked places around you.

But Chen Ming took a rough look and found that the places marked on the map were basically certain restaurants, certain supermarkets and the like.

Just as Chen Ming saw with his own eyes, it was full of life and there was no place where he could take over the goods he had stolen from the pirates.

It’s as if the city in the central area of ​​the space station is really just a city for people to live in.

Chen Ming couldn't help but have a headache. Apart from the basic understanding of the space station, he knew absolutely nothing else. Many things became very troublesome to do with just a map.

Just like now.

After thinking about it, Chen Ming felt that maybe he could go to the other space arm to have a look.

After all, the dock and repair shop are on Space Arm No. 1, so there should be some similar more specialized places on the other 29 space arms.

Chen Ming's fingers moved across the terminal.

I want to open the map of Space Arm No. 2 which is closest to me on the map.

But just at this moment.

Chen Ming suddenly realized something extremely troublesome.

It seemed that not only was it impossible to use the money in my salary card, but I couldn't even move the salary card itself.

In other words, even if you successfully sell the goods, you will not be able to receive the money you deserve from others.

As expected, I still have to find a job first and let the person who pays me solve this problem for me.

This space station is a pirate space station after all. It is impossible for transactions between pirates to be conducted using the Imperial Savings Card.

Otherwise, if the identity information is directly exposed, it will cause big problems.

People who can pay others’ salaries should also be able to help themselves solve the salary card problem.

Even if you can't get the job, it's better to talk to the locals than to run around blindly.

Many things in the Pirate Space Station belong to the gray area and cannot be put on the surface.

If you don't understand anything, asking with a shameless face is obviously the quickest way.

As for who to ask this question, Chen Ming already had the answer in his mind.

It will become clear if you just think about which part of the space station has the most contacts and the most channels.

So Chen Ming put away the terminal and turned back to the repair shop.

Two maintenance technicians in staff uniforms were found leaning against a structural column of the repair shop smoking.

It is impossible for someone who can work in a repair shop run by a force that sponsors the space station to be completely ignorant of things in the gray area.

The older middle-aged maintenance technician subconsciously looked around when he noticed Chen Ming walking towards them.

They found that there were only two maintenance technicians left nearby, and they had no idea where the other colleagues had gone.

He couldn't help but groan, and asked Chen Ming who was already standing in front of them: "Do you want to repair the spacecraft? Or do you need an introduction?"

"Maybe both are needed. Let's talk about it?"

"Um?"

Completely ignored Chen Ming's existence.

He seemed to have realized that Chen Ming was not a customer.

But in the next moment, he seemed to see something flash out of the corner of his eye.

The middle-aged maintenance worker turned his head back and saw Chen Mingzheng spreading out his hands with a small ball of gold placed in the center of his palm.

The purity of this small piece of gold is not very high. It was found by Chen Ming when he was cleaning the slag remaining in the furnace.

It should be that the smelting equipment has been running for too long, resulting in insufficient heat in some places, which resulted in the failure to completely melt the waste products.

Because Chen Ming had already left the asteroid belt, and he didn't have time to mine when he passed by the dark cemetery later, there was no need to start the furnace for this small piece of gold of low purity.

So Chen Ming just took it with him.

I originally planned to use it as a stepping stone to make money, but now that I can’t even get in the door, I might as well use it here.

Chen Ming closed his palms, slightly deformed the small piece of gold, handed it to the middle-aged maintenance engineer and said, "Would you like to chat?"

The middle-aged maintenance engineer's eyes seemed to flash with a gleam of light, and he immediately smiled enthusiastically and responded: "Of course no problem, what do you want to talk about?"

Chen Ming didn't waste any words and asked directly, "Is there any way to make money?"

The middle-aged maintenance engineer smiled, looked at the gold in Chen Ming's hand and said, "This is how you make money."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

"But these ways of making money are all other people's ability to make a living. What's the point of asking us? If you don't have the ability and want to work here, you can only be a porter."

"What if I have the ability?"

"If you have the ability, you won't ask here."

Chen Ming shook his head, thinking that he should stop pretending to be so arrogant, and said directly: "I just came here, and I am not familiar with anything."

The younger maintenance engineer next to him suddenly interrupted and said, "What do you mean by a fool?"

Then a slap landed on his forehead.

"Stop talking nonsense."

The middle-aged maintenance engineer shook his hands. His expression did not change after hearing what Chen Ming said. He still had that enthusiastic smile on his face.

After all, Chen Ming's performance was really obvious.

An old hand like him must have seen many people like Chen Ming who came to the pirate space station for the first time.

The middle-aged maintenance engineer looked Chen Ming up and down, suddenly laughed twice and said: "Hey, you are quite interesting, come with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the initiative to lead the way to the core area of ​​the space station.

Chen Ming did not refuse and followed quickly.

Seeing this, the young maintenance engineer next to him had no intention of continuing his shift and followed.

The middle-aged maintenance engineer did not look back, but raised his hand and pointed at his feet and said, "Ways to make money. To be honest, when you come here, you should know that there are ways to make money everywhere."

"The key is that the money has to find a way to flow into your stomach."

Chen Ming's eyes lit up. This was exactly what he needed.

"Tell me more specifically."

"Do you have a card that can receive money?"

"No."

"Look, this is troublesome. Even if you can make money, can you get it?"

Chen Ming didn't say anything.

The maintenance engineer suddenly turned around and smiled at Chen Ming.

Although his face still had the same warm smile as before, for some reason, Chen Ming seemed to see a hint of cunning.

The middle-aged maintenance engineer suddenly turned his head back and continued to lead Chen Ming towards space arm No. 2.
