As the foreman and worker of the player construction crew, Red Barrel doesn't get a cut from every MT-1 sold like Mantou does, but he still has quite a bit of money in hand.
He's been fixing dorms and studios and all sorts of miscellaneous tasks for hundreds of new players, which earns him more than doing daily events, grinding bricks, and dying explosively.
He's realized that fighting his way through never makes money as quickly as contracting business.
On the surface, each frontline rescue mission can earn a few thousand, but if things go wrong, he might have to wait six hours to respawn, during which he can't do anything.
And it's not even guaranteed to happen every day, depending purely on luck. Not to mention, dying comes with a chance of losing equipment. Even with official subsidies, the bullets fired cost money, so the net gain isn't much.
