But then again, she really needed to know; it's just a bottle of nutrient solution, no loss at all.

She also has 72 x 30 bottles of plum-flavored nutritional liquid in her space!

He immediately took out the strangely colored, sticky, grass-scented nutrient solution from his spatial storage and handed it to the curly-haired woman in front of him, saying, "Here you go."

"Huh~ Why does it taste like this? No wonder you agreed so readily. Oh well, consider it an act of kindness!"

A hint of unspoken disgust flashed in the curly-haired woman's eyes, but she quickly took it from her.

"The planet has a rich variety of minerals... The mines with long queues have all produced level 5 or 6 ores, and many people are eager to go there... The mine we're currently queuing for, number 7, has always had average output, mostly level 1 to 3 ores. We've basically never seen level 4 or higher, so there's not much competition for it..."

The curly-haired woman kept her promise and gave a general overview of the situation on the mining planet.

"Duang!"

The long, drawn-out sound echoed throughout the cave, and the gate at the entrance was opened for passage.

"...That's basically it. I'll stop here; it's time to go to work."

Shu Ran processed the information from the transaction, glanced at the time 21:58, ten hours, which meant she would have to work until 8 a.m. before she could leave work.

After taking the elevator down to an unknown depth, the dozen or so people who had come to Mine No. 7 scattered, some in groups of two or three, but most alone, and walked into the small openings.

After glancing at the curly-haired woman who had quickly walked away, seemingly afraid of being clung to, and thinking of the tools she had bought with 300 points, Shu Ran slowly walked to the back and chose a hole that no one had gone into.

There's no need to deliberately walk slowly. I'm only 1.6 meters tall to begin with, and compared to those aliens who average 2 meters tall, I look even shorter. I can't go fast even if I want to.

After walking for about ten minutes, Shu Ran stopped and took out her gold-plated toolkit.

First, I put on the protective suit that costs 100 points each. It looks pretty cool; it's a black jumpsuit with black gloves and black boots.

I put on the hat with the searchlight on; it fit perfectly without wobbling, and the brightness was just right—soft and not glaring.

The last one is an ordinary-looking pickaxe, almost identical to the one from Space Nuri, except that it has a small, matte black and gold circular logo on the handle, instantly making it understated, luxurious, and sophisticated.

I tried out both pickaxes and promptly took back the one the company gave me. The one I bought with real money is definitely different; it's much more convenient and effortless, and it even comes with built-in tips.

The sudden sound was a bit noticeable, so Shu Ran switched to the Bluetooth version according to the instructions, removed the "sticker" from the center of the circular logo on the handle, and stuck it on her ear.

After three hours of clanging and banging, she had to stop and rest every now and then. Shu Ran rubbed her sore arms and shoulders. She was exhausted and hungry.

I sat down against the wall, took out a bottle of plum-flavored nutritional drink and took a small sip. Hmm, it tastes alright, a bit like honey-snow, at least not as awful as described in space novels.

I tilted my head back and downed a bottle of nutrient solution. My stomach quickly felt full, and my fatigue subsided considerably.

After taking a short break, keeping track of the time, Shu Ran dusted off the grime on her pants and got up to continue working.

Time passed by second by second, and it was almost time to get off work.

At 07:40, Shu Ran put the last piece of ore that had fallen into her spatial storage and began to tally up her gains for the day.

Grade 1 ore: 18 pieces of iron ore, 16 pieces of gold ore, 13 pieces of jadeite, and 12 pieces of colored gemstone.

Secondary ore: 3 pieces of crystal stone, 2 pieces of moonstone, and 2 pieces of silver-colored ore.

Grade III ore: 1 piece of red glaze.

Today we harvested a total of 67 pieces of ore, most of which were level 1 ore.

Based on this calculation, she can complete the minimum task in about three weeks, and make pure profit in the remaining week!

Not only do you get a commission, but you can also take it home.

She's being narrow-minded. 007 was right, it really is a pleasant job!

Although the base salary is not high, you will reap the rewards as long as you work hard!

Looking at the various minerals in her spatial storage, Shu Ran's collecting habit was stirred, and she kept one of each to store in her space.

Before leaving, Shu Ran deliberately rubbed the pickaxe that had been sent into the pile of slag on the ground for a while before putting it away.

When I got to the elevator I came from, no one had come out yet. After waiting for a while, people started to come out one after another.

The tall, thin man in fluorescent green clothes came out of the cave and started chatting with the people waiting next to him; they seemed to be acquaintances.

"How are you today? Look, I specially wore my lucky color and successfully mined a level 3 ore. I'm going to save it for my commission at the end of the month."

"You're really lucky. I'm just unlucky. The cave I found was almost entirely first-level ore, with second-level ore being rare, let alone third-level ore."

"Then try wearing your lucky color tomorrow, maybe you'll get a pleasant surprise." The tall, thin man tugged at his clothes and quietly straightened his back.

"I consulted the Cloud Beast for a prediction. My luckiest time is at the end of the month. Let's finish the mission first. I've already mined 56 pieces of ore today, which is not bad. If nothing unexpected happens, I still have three or four days left!"

"That's good. Not counting that level 3 ore, I've mined 48 pieces. Looks like I need to hurry."

……

Listening to the chatter around her, Shu Ran was in a daze. It really made a difference that those who had spent money on in-game purchases! She never expected that not only would she fall behind, but she would even surpass the locals.

He quietly collected the remaining level-two ore from the spatial storage into his space, leaving 55 pieces in the spatial storage to be handed over.

Submitting the space lock, receiving piecework, and going through security checks—every step was smooth. After leaving the mine, Shu Ran finished get off work at lightning speed and disappeared without attracting anyone's attention.

Shu Ran suddenly opened her eyes and moved her hands and feet. She felt no discomfort, but the soreness from overexertion seemed to linger in her soul.

so amazing!

Shu Ran looked at the 12 pieces of ore lying quietly in the space and a strange sense of satisfaction rose in her heart. Although she didn't know what these ores were used for, they were very beautiful just to look at.

Pulling his consciousness out of the space, he looked at the small line of text that had suddenly appeared in the lower left corner of the system interface. This... is the reward for submitting a bug?

Designated cheat trial card (limited time: three months): 1 card.

"Your work period for this month has ended. Would you like to open the Interstellar Shop to make this purchase?"

Looking at the freshly deposited monthly salary in interstellar coins on her temporary personal computer, and the hundred or so various ores she had secretly saved in her spatial storage, Shu Ran did not hesitate to open the shop. This salary level was much higher than in her previous life. She just didn't know what the prices were like in interstellar space.

Thinking about the mechs, spaceships, gene-modifying fluids, and holographic games mentioned in interstellar novels... Shu Ran was filled with anticipation.
