After wandering around the city with Zhan Gang for a while, they realized that this place was entirely a labor hub. Many rural people had come here to work in factories, and more were struggling without jobs, often going hungry. Some, with children to care for, had no choice but to engage in the sex industry.
Zhan Gang had some connections in this factory.
After asking around, Zhan Lingfeng learned that this factory was quite significant; it was a subsidiary of an overseas group company that produced mobile phone casings.
Upon hearing Zhan Gang's introduction, Zhan Lingfeng couldn't help but laugh. The factory's name sounded impressive, dealing with electronic components, but it was merely processing mobile phone casings.
Reflecting on the current state of affairs, Zhan Lingfeng was taken aback. Mobile phones were just transitioning from bulky designs to more compact forms; this company was indeed formidable, already involved in this field.
When they returned after dinner, the rented place became even livelier, and Zhan Lingfeng noticed young men and women appearing.
"Work is over; the evening is everyone's time," Zhan Gang explained.
"Why does that man have three women with him?" Hong Caixian asked.
Zhan Gang glanced over and replied, "Here, as long as you have money, you're a big shot. Many can't survive alone; they can live together. After all, it's just about those matters between men and women—mutual support."
Everyone understood the situation; although they weren't married, they lived like a couple.
"You all should rest; you're tired. I'll go see if I can pull some strings to help you find work."
After Zhan Lingfeng entered the room with the couple, they busied themselves hanging up sheets. The worn-out sheets were clearly old, which made Zhan Lingfeng sigh.
Since they had to live this way, adapting was essential.
Zhan Lingfeng made his bed and then lay down.
Looking into his Dantian, Zhan Lingfeng realized his cultivation had reached the mid-level of Master Level.
Although he didn't need to use his energy, the True Essence transforming into Inner Qi continued unabated.
While pondering his situation, he heard some movements from the bed nearby. It was clear that the couple couldn't hold back any longer and were getting intimate.
This was initiated by Wu Yong, while Hong Caixian seemed to be deliberately holding back and whispered something softly.
"I'm going out for a bit."
Zhan Lingfeng intentionally made a larger movement to give them some space and then said a few words.
After closing the door and stepping outside, Zhan Lingfeng walked slowly down the corridor, surrounded by laughter, the sound of cards being played, and even the unrestrained noises of men and women engaged in intimate activities.
Is this the living condition of the lowest-tier workers?
"Artifact Spirit, what is my current situation?" Zhan Lingfeng asked as he sat down on a chair on the street.
"Master, your current situation is as follows: you are in seclusion on Mars. That place is well-managed; it won't be disturbed unless something important happens. If there is any disturbance, I will notify you."
Zhan Lingfeng nodded; he really didn't need to worry about that place right now.
"In the countryside, your identity is managed by Sky Net."
"What does managed mean?"
"It means that unless there is something special happening, you will live a normal life. Your movements will not be affected unless a special situation arises, at which point it will be received by your Divine Sense. You can switch identities at any time; this place is managed while that one is under your direct control."
"So I can switch between three bodies?"
"Yes, as long as you have enough Merit Points, you can do so freely."
"How are the current Merit Points spent?"
"In these two places on Earth, there is no spatial jumping. Each time you switch costs one Merit Point, which is negligible. As for Mars, since the distance isn't too far, based on your situation, Sky Net has set the price for each switch at one hundred Merit Points."
"Why is it so much less for each switch?"
"Generally speaking, the first time going to a new place consumes the most points, and then it gradually decreases. Moreover, since you have teleportation abilities, the pricing will be lower."
"Will this also consider the abilities I possess?" Zhan Lingfeng realized he still didn't fully understand the situation.
"That's correct. The pricing is based on a comprehensive assessment of your various abilities; the more relevant skills you have, the lower the price will be."
Zhan Lingfeng felt much more at ease now; he hadn't expected such arrangements.
If that's the case, he could freely switch between three bodies while maintaining independent control over each one.
"I am now wondering how I can better hone my skills?" Zhan Lingfeng was increasingly concerned about this matter.
"After evaluation, what you need to do now, Master, is to stand firm. Once you enter the factory, you must stand your ground and then develop within the factory. With each level you advance, your True Essence will be able to transform some of the physical aspects that you will explore on your own."
Zhan Lingfeng nodded, thinking that it was indeed necessary to focus on development as the main line.
He was also curious about this Secret Technique; if such a Secret Technique could be created, then the strong individuals of the Ninth-Level Civilization were truly impressive.
After playing outside for a while, Zhan Lingfeng returned to his residence.
Upon entering, he noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat off. Looking at a few people, Zhan Gang said, "Xu is back; let’s discuss work matters."
"Thank you, Gang Ge."
"It’s no trouble. I asked around; Xing is a female worker, and the factory happens to need someone like her. There’s absolutely no problem; she can start working tomorrow. Xu is agile, and the office needs someone around her age. I mentioned her, and tomorrow she can go for an interview. As for Xin, our factory cannot arrange anything for now. I reached out to some acquaintances and found a hotel where she can work as a waitress; she can also go for an interview tomorrow."
Zhan Lingfeng glanced at the couple and said, "Thank you, Gang Ge."
Wu Yong frowned and said, "Am I really not suitable for your factory? Should I switch with Xu?"
Zhan Gang replied, "I’ve already mentioned that this won’t work. You’re a bit older; they are looking for someone younger who is also clever and agile. Given your situation, it just won’t work out. I can’t help it. If you’re not in a hurry, I can think of other ways for you, but this is all I can do. Don’t get your hopes up too high; if you miss this job opportunity, you might end up without any job."
