Returning to the twelfth level once more, Ryan received professional therapy from the biomechanical masseuse.
Three hours later, he was brimming with energy as he returned to the fifteenth level, noticing that Torres and the others had already left.
Wasting no time, Ryan continued his cultivation.
At this point, the mutated nutrients from the Ripper Wolf's pancreas had been nearly exhausted by his body. After only two hours of training, Ryan could no longer sense the presence of energy within him.
His muscle strength had reached 11.8, muscle reflex flexibility had improved to 11.6, and his bioenergy had reached 134.
This marked that his strength had firmly established itself at the H4 level.
In the H-level standard combat system, a physical fitness of above 11.5 is considered to have officially entered the H4 level, and once it breaks through 12 points, it means the threshold of H5 has been crossed.
Carlos, as an H9-level strongman, naturally has a physical fitness of over 14, but to break through to the G level, physical fitness needs to be enhanced to 16 points.
For the privileged class, enhancing two points of physical fitness is not difficult; a bottle of G-level gene enhancement fluid is enough to solve the problem, and if not enough, another bottle will do.
The price of H-level gene enhancement fluid is about a million, and the black market price may double to two million. However, the price of G-level gene enhancement fluid starts at five million, and it is even more sought after on the black market.
As for the efficacy of the ferocious beast's pancreas, it has not yet been widely discovered and systematically summarized, let alone promoted.
Ryan was keenly aware that this was his greatest advantage since his rebirth.
With just this, he could grow faster than others.
In order to enhance his strength as soon as possible, Ryan was determined to strive for field missions, hunting those dangerous alien creatures to obtain the pancreas of the insectoid or ferocious beasts; this was an important way for him to enhance his strength.
Returning to his private space from the training ground, Ryan unexpectedly encountered Jane waiting at the door.
Jane's long hair had been neatly cut short, making her appear both capable and powerful. She spoke to Ryan directly and frankly, "Ryan, I need your help."
Her voice was firm and strong, like a thorny rose blooming anew in the wind.
At this moment, Ryan felt a strong resonance, and the memory of Jane in casual attire in the barracks merged quickly with the one before him.
Ryan's mouth curled up unconsciously.
Jane...
Her heart is indeed still so strong.
After experiencing that incident, she seemed to have awakened ahead of time.
Ryan vaguely guessed the reason why Jane was looking for him.
Just as he expected!
Jane straightforwardly stated her purpose:
"I want to join the base's security team."
"Among the newcomers who arrived yesterday was the head of the security team, Carlos; it seems you have a good relationship with him. I hope to get your recommendation."
"Recommending you to join is not a problem, but you need a citizen identity chip to join the security team..."
"I have already sold the house my parents left me and used the money to upgrade my chip to H3 level. Now, I have become a citizen of the Earth Alliance, eligible to learn and use some basic weapon systems."
Jane's words surprised Ryan.
Impressive indeed.
She sold her house without hesitation.
Such decisive action was on par with Ryan's.
It's no wonder that she was able to be promoted to the colonel of the Space Force in just three years in her previous life!
Ryan pondered for a moment.
Jane has obtained the citizen chip faster than him now.
He believed that if he recommended Jane, Carlos would likely agree.
Moreover...
Carlos is currently in urgent need of talents.
"No problem."
Ryan agreed:
"Go back first, I promise to give you an answer tomorrow."
"Thank you."
Jane nodded, and before leaving, suddenly said:
"Ryan, I owe you a favor."
Then she turned and left.
Ryan stood in place, not reacting for a moment.
But soon, he understood her meaning and sighed: "If it weren't for my appearance, disrupting some things, you might not have encountered Kolak either..."
Ryan left the base in a mining machine aircraft.
He quickly arrived at the location he had arranged with Maughan.
The timing was perfect.
Maughan was also there.
The security team's patrol aircraft was equipped with a weapon system - in addition to the machine guns on the wings, there were also small-caliber heavy machine guns at the front and back. Although these weapons are somewhat outdated, they are sufficient to cause fatal damage to the ferocious beasts on the planet. This kind of low-energy, low-cost weapon is very suitable for H-level patrol aircraft.
This patrol aircraft has a resounding name at the base - "Bluebird."
In this interstellar mining area, Maughan was driving his Bluebird aircraft, vigilantly looking around.
"Found mining machine number 3377," Maughan muttered to himself, not hesitating at all. He controlled the aircraft to make a bold low-altitude flight, quickly fired a cannon at the ground, and then quickly withdrew.
Maughan has always been cautious in his actions because he knows that private mining of the company's mineral resources is strictly prohibited, and once discovered, severe punishment will follow.
He had already hidden the precious minerals he had mined, so even if someone found that there were minerals here, it had nothing to do with him.
Ryan parked his mining machine next to the crater left by Maughan, and his keen insight immediately found a cleverly concealed pit.
Chuckling, Ryan thought to himself: "The same old tricks."
He operated the multifunctional mechanical arm, easily lifted the surface debris, revealing the valuable H6 and H7 level minerals underneath.
A quick estimate showed that the value was at least 600,000, a fortune that satisfied him.
He quickly packed up the minerals and prepared to return to the base.
In the logistics department, Ryan ran into Flock again, and their eyes met, with Flock looking a bit embarrassed.
As Ryan's aircraft began to transport batches of raw minerals onto the conveyor belt, the numbers on the evaluation instrument next to it kept rising, and Flock's eyes revealed an uncontrollable envy.
The members of Group Twelve looked curiously, and the discussions were endless:
"Wow, it's him again."
"Yesterday, the raw minerals he mined were worth more than 20,000, with an income of nearly 10,000. Today it seems to be over 100,000!"
"This young man is really lucky!"
"100,000? Look, the evaluation number has exceeded 400,000!"
"Another overnight rich story." Although the logistics department staff had seen many big scenes, every time they saw others getting lucky, they couldn't help feeling a bit sour.
"Hello."
"Number 3377, the raw minerals you handed in are worth 648,000. According to the company's dividend rules, your daily salary for today is 216,000, and the money has been transferred to your account."
"Thank you very much."
Ryan was in a great mood and left the logistics department amidst the envious gazes of others.
Flock's face had turned blue.
As soon as he left the logistics department, Ryan received a transfer from Maughan.
Eight hundred thousand.
With the previous income, a million was collected.
Ryan went to the base headquarters' government affairs center without hesitation and submitted an application to the Earth Alliance to freeze one million in assets in exchange for citizenship and an H3 chip.
This kind of business can be quickly handled at any planet's government affairs center.
The application was quickly approved.
Astra completed the upgrade in the lobby.
"Chip functions have been unlocked."
"Chip permissions have been unlocked."
"Chip computing power has been enhanced!"
Having just completed the certification and registration of citizenship, the security department of TerraNova, a subsidiary of TerraCore Group, sent an invitation:
"Congratulations to Number 3377 for becoming a formal citizen of the Earth Alliance. Our security department is currently recruiting, and with the recommendation of the head of the security department, we sincerely invite the eligible Mr. Ryan to join our team."
The signatory of the invitation letter was - Carlos.
