The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

As long as she isn't embarrassed, then it's others who are embarrassed.

Upon hearing her words, the miners indeed continued their "clanging" as they began mining.

At that moment, a folding ladder was thrown down from behind. It straightened the instant it touched the ground, extending a fixed plate from top to bottom, becoming a very sturdy ladder.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Kai led about ten skeleton soldiers to land.

"Well......"

Whenever a skeleton soldier comes to the ground, a muffled thud comes from under the board.

This puzzled Zhou Kai: "Why does this ladder even have sound effects? Damn, I paid a fortune for it..."

Halfway through the conversation, the fixing plate suddenly broke, and a person grew out of the ground.

Seeing this, Zhou Kai's face darkened. He took out his staff, and as a brown magic circle appeared, an earthen hand reached out from beneath his feet, grabbed the man's collar, and lifted him up.

"Fuck your mother, pay me back for the ladder! I'm telling you, if you don't come up with three million today, you'll pay with your ladder!"

Upon hearing this, the man also became angry.

"No, do you even know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that? It's just a damn broken ladder, I can take it apart and what can you do about it?"

The foreman turned around and kicked the ladder that Zhou Kai had laid out, breaking it in two. In an instant, Zhou Kai unleashed an extremely cold and sinister aura.

"you are done."

"Oh? I'd like to see how I'm doomed?" The overseer was a level 4 martial artist; he had already seen through Zhou Kai's weakness. As for the man in black beside him...

What kind of skill can a weak teammate possibly have? There's no need to panic.

Just as he was thinking this, Zhou Kai made his move. He suddenly knelt down in front of the man in black and cried out, "Grandma! You must do me justice! This bastard has damaged your property. I suggest you kill him!"

Bai Jinxuan: "......"

For a moment, she genuinely thought Zhou Kai would fight the other party, but it turned out like this...

Sigh... Forget it, let's hurry up and deal with this mess, we'll have to lay the ladder again later.

She looked at the overseer.

Before she could even speak, the other person said first, "Was it you who stepped on my head just now?"

"Hmm...?" Bai Jinxuan paused for a moment, almost wanting to laugh. "So what if it is...?"

"you......"

He reached out, intending to use the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger on Bai Jinxuan, but Bai Jinxuan didn't like being pointed at, so she chopped off the overseer's hand.

Crimson blood was spilled all over the ground.

The extreme violence startled Zhou Kai, and at that moment, he gained a new understanding of 'Shadow'.

Seeing the look of fear on his face, Bai Jinxuan felt pleased. This way, he probably wouldn't cause any more trouble.

It's not that having fun is bad, it just depends on the situation. Right now, when there's something important to do, you shouldn't think about those random things.

Ignoring the foreman's screams and cries, Bai Jinxuan took out a bottle of life-saving potion from her bag, sprinkled it on him, and then stabbed him in the right shoulder, pinning him to the ground.

The entire process took less than a second; the supervisor hadn't even had time to react before he was crippled.

He tried to resist, but suddenly found that he couldn't use his hands and feet. Looking down, he realized that all his tendons had been cut off.

The danger came too quickly; the fear of death left his mind blank, and he could only cry like a baby.

But soon, even that right was taken away.

"Ask him... about the situation..."

"Roger that!"

Zhou Kai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling fortunate to be on the same team as the terrifying old lady, while harboring malicious thoughts.

"Damn it, you were pretty cocky just now, weren't you? Huh?"

He first slapped the foreman across the face, stunning him completely, then grabbed him by the hair, lifted him up, and forced him to look into his eyes.

"I'm asking you, what is this place? Where are the ore stored?"

"Awoo..."

"Pay me the money, do you hear me? Give me the money and I'll spare your life!"

Upon hearing that there was a way out, he seemed to have triggered some kind of defense mechanism, and suddenly his voice became fluent as he revealed his password, account, and everything else.

After gathering the information, Zhou Kai made a few moves and reported to Bai Jinxuan: "We made 200 million. This guy's salary is pretty high! What should we do next?"

"killed."

Bai Jinxuan wasted no time. Since this guy was too scared to talk, she decided to ask a miner instead.

She picked out a younger sister from the crowd who looked good... well, relatively speaking, the younger sister compared to the other miners.

"Where...is the ore...stored...?"

The other person was so startled by her sudden appearance that she could barely stand, but even so, she still subconsciously pointed out the direction for Bai Jinxuan.

"There... there."

OK!

Having obtained the direction, Bai Jinxuan immediately called to Zhou Kai and headed towards the target location.

go ahead.

Soon, at the next cave entrance, she found magic crystals piled up throughout the entire mine. Not only that, they also discovered a considerable amount of mining equipment, such as spare pickaxes, maintenance and production tools, and so on...

Since we're already here, let's move everything together!

More than a dozen elite skeleton soldiers immediately began to move the body out, while on the other side, Zhou Kai, having finished dealing with the aftermath, also began to call upon the remaining skeleton legion.

A large wave of white skeleton soldiers, like ants, began to line up and frantically transport items outwards.

Throughout the entire process, the miners didn't dare utter a single word and silently continued mining.

In their eyes, Bai Jinxuan was the newly arrived senior supervisor, while the skeleton soldiers were the latest technology of the Thousand Machine Pull... something that small miners like them could not possibly access.

Therefore, the skeleton soldiers, like locusts without any hindrance, licked up everything of value in the mining area.

Despite several other overseers trying to stop them along the way, under Bai Jinxuan's red light, they eventually joined the skeleton army and helped Shadow transport the ore.

Even after emptying the mine, they followed Bai Jinxuan in betraying the next mine under the Qianji Yin Banner...

And so, after looting three mining areas, they returned to their new base with almost all their belongings.

Once the profits are settled, the magic crystals alone are worth 100 million, and the accompanying equipment can easily be worth tens of millions. However, this thing definitely cannot be sold everywhere. Firstly, it would expose us, and secondly, the skeleton soldiers here need the equipment to mine, so we can also make money from it.

Overall, selling the equipment is not worthwhile.

Even if it's about raising money, we can't give up such a sustainable income opportunity, right?

So, naturally, these new mining devices ended up on the skeleton soldiers.

The mission was successfully completed; now it's time to divide the money.

Bai Jinxuan had no intention of withholding Zhou Kai's salary; whatever she said, that's what she'd pay. After all, she was quite afraid that this guy might meet a new "black guy" one day, turn around and exchange all the ore for cash, then sell the tombstones and hide in the union's upper echelons like a coward...

If that happens, I'll really lose money, and there'll be nothing I can do about it. I can't just go to war with the union just to get revenge on him, can I?

As she thought about it, she left Zhou Kai 3% of the magic crystals and put the remaining 7% into the treasure chest.

That's the difference between magic crystals and magic crystal ore! If these were all magic crystal ore, I wouldn't be able to take them with me at all, but magic crystals are different.

Seeing that Bai Jinxuan had indeed left him 3% of the magic crystals, Zhou Kai burst into tears and knelt down again.

"Zhou Kai has no way to repay this kindness. Having wandered for half his life, he only regrets not having met a wise ruler. If you do not abandon him, he is willing to become your adopted mother..."

As he spoke, he began to kowtow again.

Bai Jinxuan: "......"

Zhou Kai is a man who will do anything for money, he has no morals whatsoever.

He's even set up a foster mother; I think he's just after my pension so he can inherit my wealth when I die.

Damn it, they've really messed with me!

Do you know I'm actually younger than you? Forget about retirement, I'm afraid you'll be the one who passes away before I even get old...

Wait! Is he really going to betray me?!

Recalling Dong Zhuo's fate, Bai Jinxuan's heart skipped a beat.

No! I have to be careful. I've already revealed most of my abilities to Zhou Kai. If he betrays me, then the terrifying old lady will basically lose half the battle before the fight even starts.

After all, intelligence is extremely important. Having lived in the black market and underground cities for so long, every time I fought someone, the other party would basically die from an unexpected attack.

Things like potions, teleportation, and shadow manipulation...

If these things are known in advance and people take precautions, then one's advantage will be lost.

Thinking of this, Bai Jinxuan looked at Zhou Kai and said calmly, "What are you talking about repaying a debt of gratitude for? Just don't mention Shadow if you cause trouble in the future!"

"But......"

"Remember... you are never allowed to say anything about your connection with the Shadows again... If... you utter even half a word... I will know immediately... and I will grind you to dust...!"

"I...I understand. Thank you, Lord Shadow, for giving me this opportunity. I will cherish it!"

Zhou Kai kowtowed three more times. When he looked up again, he found that the old woman in black had disappeared and only neatly dressed skeleton soldiers were lined up on both sides of the mine.

Inside the mine was a deep pit, which looked as if it had been blasted out.

Inside, it was full of corpses.

"This is... the Shadow..."

Seeing this hellish scene, Zhou Kai sighed and reached out to touch the cries of the living dead.

At that moment, he finally understood that an ambitious and capable organization would not care about or deduct the wages of its junior employees... At least the terrifying old lady's eyes told him that Shadow would never stoop to doing such a thing.

Following the shadows is the answer for this version.

Zhou Kai curled his lips into a smile, and from the deep pit, white skeletons rose up from the ground.

"Come forth, undead, conquer, soldiers, for hope, for tomorrow, for the day we reach the summit!"

“Dig it for me!”

At his command, the ghostly blue soul fire burned fiercely in the empty eyes of the skeleton soldiers.

"Click-clack..."

The tireless undead legion eagerly raised their pickaxes and launched an attack on the incredibly hard ore vein.

An eerie, fanatical aura spread through the skeleton army, their ghostly blue soulfire gradually turning crimson, and their attack frequency increased rapidly.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Kai couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Success! It's finally a success! With this berserk spell, the skeleton soldiers' combat power will reach a new level!"

"You'll see it soon... very soon..."

"Soldiers, faster!"

Volume 1: Chapter 118: A Girl Unlike Any Other

Saturday, Star City No. 1 Middle School.

Bai Jinxuan, who hadn't slept all night, teleported to the bathroom and slowly took off her soaking wet school uniform.

Droplets of water appeared on the floor tiles as she moved, looking somewhat like dewdrops falling from the bottom of green leaves into a lake at dawn, clear and smooth.

"Ugh... I need to find some time to sleep..."

As soon as she took off her school uniform, an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion washed over her. Bai Jinxuan could only quickly wipe the water off her body and then shakily change into her spare school uniform.

Only after she was properly dressed did she return to her original state.

As it turns out, the Greed Magic Circle cannot be removed from one's person. Although it is more efficient than the Energy Potion, it still cannot achieve truly waste-free labor.

If it were at school, it would be fine, but Bai Jinxuan had to take off her school uniform to go to the black market. During this period, all the accumulated fatigue would return in an instant, crushing her spirit.

Over time, this will definitely have an impact on the body, ranging from slowed thinking to fainting and losing consciousness.

However, Bai Jinxuan still needs it, at least for now.
