With the signing of the contract, Yuan Qing officially became Bai Chen's employee.

However, the two sides had a considerable disagreement on the name of the shop. Bai Chen preferred a name like "Odd Jobs Shop" or "Magical Item Shop," while Yuan Qing insisted on an image like "Relief from Worries" or "Forgetting the Dust."

In the end, Bai Chen, relying on his authority as the shop owner, made the final decision on the name "Magical Item Shop," which Yuan Qing considered to be extremely tacky.

However, although everything is ready except for the final step, there is still no solution for the most crucial items in the shop, because those items need to be made by him personally.

Since Bai Chen had nothing else to do, he decided to take his new employee, Bai Chen, to the flea market in the square.

The so-called flea market is actually just a place where people who can't afford to rent a shop set up stalls in the square to sell some trinkets. There are all sorts of things, but most of them are ordinary quality items. Rare quality items are rare, and even ordinary quality equipment or props are hard to find.

Bai Chen's goal was very clear: to acquire materials that looked impressive but were actually quite mysterious. These materials might be useless to others, but for him, they might be able to be used to develop new drugs using the Pharmacopoeia.

For this reason, Bai Chen specially allocated 2000 game coins as a special payment to Yuan Qing.

He doesn't have much money left. He had already borrowed 10,000 game coins from Mo Xuan, and then he borrowed another 5,000 to save Su Qun, not to mention he also incurred a favor.

Right now, all he has left is less than 4000 game coins. This might be a huge sum for other players, but it's not enough for him.

In the market, a common-level piece of equipment can sell for 500 game coins, while a rare-level piece will fetch five times that amount. If it's geared towards survival, it can easily sell for ten times that amount.

Compared to equipment, items are cheaper, but not by much. It mainly depends on the effect of the item. If it is a consumable, the price will be lower.

In order to save money and pay off his debts as soon as possible, Bai Chen put the [Family Portrait] he obtained from the beginner dungeon on the auction house. The starting price was 2000 game coins, and the time limit was 24 hours. Although the quality of this item reached the rare level, it was only a one-time consumable, so he didn't have much hope for how much it would sell for in the end.

It's worth mentioning that after learning about the three main ways to earn game currency, he tried uploading the detailed information of the two disasters he had contained, "The Hand of the Prison" and "Wandering Corridor," to the system.

[The Hand of the Prison] was alright, because it was his first upload, the system rewarded him with 2000 game coins. But for [Wandering in the Corridor], although the information he uploaded was detailed enough, because it was not his first upload, he only received 500 points... and that was even with the fact that he had a lot more first-hand details.

Bai Chen himself was helpless in the face of this.

"No...you've spent it all?"

Bai Chen was somewhat shocked to see the girl who had returned.

"You said it yourself, that you would buy all those odd-looking odd-looking odds and ends."

Yuan Qing held a cup of tea in his hand and drank it, his face expressionless.

"I followed your instructions exactly."

"But it's just a flea market. Even if you buy all the odds and ends there, it won't cost 2000..."

"So I ran through all three other squares."

Yuan Qing put down her teacup and looked up at him.

"The fare was 5 game coins, which was included in the total price."

Although the City of Players has water, electricity, and gas provided by the system, private vehicles are not actually supported here.

In other words, you can bring a bicycle to Player's City as your personal transportation, but if you want to bring a motorcycle, electric bike, car, or even a bus, the rules of Player's City do not allow it.

Transportation here mainly depends on two factors.

Firstly, there's the system of public buses in Player City, which provides players with transportation throughout the city. However, it's expensive, starting at 10 game coins per ride, making it unaffordable for most people.

Secondly, there's the massive army of bicycles formed by the players themselves, and... human rickshaws.

As long as you have the strength, this is also a way to make money.

It is said that a certain force once wanted to bring in dozens of horses and then monopolize the carriage business here. However, for some unknown reason, after those dozens of horses were successfully transported to the player city by various means, they underwent a terrifying mutation within half a minute, and all of them turned into terrifying monsters.

Then, on that day, all the players in the city were forced to face a sudden and tense battle against city monsters...

Afterwards, that faction was fined 10 game coins and never recovered.

"Where is that thing?"

Looking at the girl in front of him with her hands empty, Bai Chen was completely puzzled.

"You spent so much money on all that stuff, even if you packed it all into your backpack, it wouldn't fit, would it?"

"So I bought this."

Yuan Qing reached out and placed a bracelet on the table.

"...You filled it all up?"

Looking at the information displayed on the disposable prop in front of him, Bai Chen remained silent for a moment before looking up at the other party.

"Yes, there are some good things inside, and it takes up quite a lot of space."

Yuan Qing nodded.

"So, should I take it out now?"

"...Never mind, I'll do it myself when I get back."

Bai Chen glanced at the sack next to him and suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"I'll transfer another 500 game coins to you. Since you plan to stay here for a long time, you can take care of your own living facilities. I won't interfere."
