Chapter 196. Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals Launches New Product
After that ordinary yet profound day, Jiang Jianxin lived a peaceful life for several days.

She lived in the flood control office, and the head of the flood control office was Yin Ju, who was busy dealing with the epidemic, so she could only see him a few times a day.

Others knew her identity, that she was a war tycoon of even higher status than Yin Ju, and were wary of her power, so they treated her with utmost respect.

Jiang Jianxin could be said to be able to do whatever he wanted in this area.

Although various forms of black market trade are prevalent in Haidu, it is also a complete den of iniquity.

Upon learning that a world war was imminent, Jiang Jianxin, unable to return to the Alliance or do anything else, angrily went to a brothel to have some fun.

In ordinary society, she was just an ordinary college girl who had never witnessed the activities of high society. Now that she has entered the society of talents, she has finally achieved a class leap by relying on the power of the Sword Master's cycle. She hasn't even experienced the extravagant life of the rich before entering the era of chaos. It's such a loss.

So she specifically consulted Zhang Qiuyue about the most luxurious and decadent rich area in Haidu, planning to go there and spend all the money, preferably before the chaos started—because she would be getting an even longer string of zeros during the chaos, and it would be terrible if she couldn't spend it all.

After briefly planning his route, Jiang Jianxin changed into casual clothes and took out a mirror from his storage watch to look at himself.

The girl in the mirror has regular features and clear eyes; she looks like an ordinary college student.

No one could have imagined that she was the Sword Master who struck fear into the hearts of the entire talent society.

"Just think of it as..."

She straightened her collar in front of the mirror and murmured to herself.

"Give an ordinary life a belated experience voucher."

……

"Wow--"

On an ordinary day, one of the most extravagant places in the city welcomed its biggest benefactor in history.

As soon as Jiang Jianxin stepped into the hall, he was greeted by a huge crystal chandelier, the light reflecting off it making the entire space feel like a dream.

A row of well-dressed waiters of uniform height stood beside the hall. Jiang Jianxin thought that her youthful appearance would attract the waiters' contempt, just like in novels, making them think that she didn't have much money.

Just as I was excitedly rubbing my hands together, ready to start the face-slapping plot, I suddenly remembered that this was an extremely childish, gifted society.

Then she saw the line of waiters standing there, their eyes lighting up like light bulbs when they saw her, so young and perfectly proportioned.
"Hello, my lord!"

"My lord, please come this way!"

Jiang Jianxin took a few steps inside and saw the lobby manager personally come to greet him with a fawning smile:

"What kind of experience would you like? We have the finest drinks, the most exciting gambling, and of course, if you're interested, we also have more private options..."

Jiang Jianxin felt that the warm reception he was receiving was probably like the treatment a middle-aged successful person in ordinary society would receive in high society—after all, in this society of the elite, one's twenties are the time when one has accumulated half a lifetime of wealth and begins a life of luxury and indulgence in retirement.

Jiang Jianxin waved his hand, interrupting his sales pitch:

"Let's start with some drinks, the most expensive ones."

Soon, a bottle of whiskey worth millions was brought out, the liquid gleaming with an amber luster in the glass.

She picked up her glass, took a small sip, and found the spicy beer with a mellow aftertaste to be far superior to the cheap beer she used to drink in college.

"too slow."

She suddenly felt bored, so she raised her hand and snapped her fingers, the sound neither too loud nor too soft.

"Open all the most expensive bottles here. It's on me tonight." The entire hall erupted in cheers.

Over the next few hours, Jiang Jianxin tried almost every extravagant activity she could get her hands on—at the gambling table, she casually tossed out millions of chips, not caring whether she won or lost; in the private room, she ordered a top-notch band to play symphonies she couldn't understand at all; she even had the swimming pool filled with champagne, and sat cross-legged by the pool, staring at the golden liquid.

"So this is what happiness is for the rich?"

She glanced calmly at the crowd around her, who were going wild because of her generosity.

Next, she tried many more expensive activities she had never experienced before, such as going to the most upscale spa in Haidu, lying on a massage bed, closing her eyes and feeling the coolness of essential oils penetrating her skin, and going to the ballroom of the rich to watch male models in striptease shows dancing hotly in revealing clothes.

As dusk settled and neon lights began to glow, Jiang Jianxin stepped out of the clubhouse.

The night breeze, carrying the scents of champagne and perfume, brushed against her hair, gently shaking off the day's glitz and clamor.

She stood on the gilded steps, letting the coolness seep into her skin.

In the distance, city lights cascade like a galaxy, the dazzling lights on billboards intertwining with the decadent sounds of the bar street.

Her fingertips rubbed against the newly issued VIP card in her pocket, which still retained the metallic, cool scent of casino chips.

There was a time when she watched those glamorous banquets on television, and she could never understand why the wealthy could turn a blind eye to the cold-blooded woman.

Now that I'm the one holding the cup, I realize how easy it is to shut out the world—when money builds a transparent dome, the cries of humanity become distant background noise.

Jiang Jianxin sighed, and just as he turned to leave, he suddenly heard the hum of instruments activating around him:
"Om——"

The entire commercial street suddenly became as bright as day.

She turned around in astonishment and saw that the glass curtain walls of the distant skyscrapers had all transformed into a giant screen, with dozens of green lasers piercing through the night and projecting blue holographic projections into the air.

The crowd surged toward the light source like a tide, and many ragged figures emerged from the alleyway, casting long shadows under the bright light, like countless hands yearning for redemption reaching toward the sky.

"This is……?"

Jiang Jianxin followed the flow of people forward as if possessed.

On the nearest three-story-high screen, black liquid boiled in a petri dish and suddenly exploded into the logo of Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals.

The vertical, jet-black eye appeared on the screen for only four or five seconds before disappearing, followed by a seductive female voice that trembled from all directions:
"Evolution or elimination?"

"Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals' G2 [Genius Potion] makes its global debut!"

When mediocrity becomes the original sin—

"We will open the door to your talent!"

The scene shifts to a comparative experiment: on the left, a hunched-over man in gray suddenly receives a drug injection, his muscles bulge as if inflated, and his eyes flash with a terrifying blue light; on the right, a well-dressed elite kneels on the ground, looking at the bloodstains on his body and letting out a resentful roar.

Jiang Jianxin's fingernails dug into her palm without her realizing it.

Under the cold light of the billboard, she saw a greedy glint in the murky eyes of the homeless man in front of her, and a mother trembling as she stroked the skull of her deformed child in her arms.

The night breeze carried the excited shouts of the crowd:

"Long live Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals!"

"Long live Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals!"
