It wasn't just about procuring resources; they also had to work and earn money.
They had no other source of income. Unlike on Zexing, where they had plenty of evolutionary resources to sell, all the money for procuring resources had to be earned through their own labor.
Fortunately, there were plenty of job opportunities on the Public Planet. A Star God could apply for positions like market district security or inspection personnel. Those with less strength, at the Legendary level, could do errands and odd jobs. If they had a decent appearance, many service positions were also available.
Women could even go to the "Exotic Alien Charm" district and earn money by selling their bodies.
Ryo never encouraged this, but he didn't stop it either. For a small race like theirs, survival was difficult, and it was a desperate measure.
Although they didn't earn much, the Public Planet's main advantage was its safety. Ryo was already quite content with such a stable life.
