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

“I don’t have that ability… This was a birthday gift that a friend of my father’s made for me. It can help me use magic and can also hold a magic book.”

As she spoke, she unzipped the bear doll's back, took out a magic book, and said proudly, "With this portable magic book, I only need to turn the page and charge it, and the magic will be released automatically. This is much more convenient than magic crystals!"

Wow, that's an exaggeration.

The moment Bai Jinxuan saw that magic book, she immediately decided that she wanted to get one too.

If I could perform four actions simultaneously during a battle—martial arts, items, magic, and teleportation—I can't even imagine how powerful I would be.

Even setting off fireworks is a psychological blow to the enemy.

Indeed, one must excel in both arts and sciences; only by knowing oneself and one's opponent can one gain the upper hand!

"Alright, let's keep going. I want to fill this box up. No objections, right?" Bai Jinxuan put away the storage box and shook it in her hand.

"Of course, no problem. I'm in the top ten in the humanities, and no one in the first year of high school is stronger than me in fire elemental magic."

Tong Yishan was full of fighting spirit, but smiled calmly.

It's clear that she's no longer as afraid as she was at the beginning.

This pleased Bai Jinxuan quite a bit, since hunting monsters with a burden like that would only result in a very limited number of credits.

She's such a busy person, she doesn't have that much time to waste on this. It would be better to speedrun it solo.

Right now, it's still at a normal speed. After all, Bai Jinxuan, who came to the underground city as a student from No. 1 Middle School, can't use artifacts and magic detectors to patrol, so whether she encounters monsters or not depends entirely on luck.

As for combat strength, that's really not something she needs to worry about.

The second floor is nothing; you could get through it empty-handed!

With their combined efforts, their exploration progressed very quickly.

The storage box was filled in just a few hours.

Without storage items, even if they kill monsters, they can't bring the materials back, which will greatly reduce their efficiency in earning credits.

Therefore, they agreed to stop here for today and come again next time.

Just then, Tong Yishan's father began summoning her home, the purpose of which was nothing more than to discuss the upcoming auction.

As the new generation of the Tong family, Tong Yishan has taken over many of the business operations, and this auction is a good opportunity for her to make her debut, so she has no choice but to attend.

At the same time, Bai Jinxuan also prepared to go to the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce in advance to arrange the final things such as markings, escape routes, and traps, so as to be fully prepared for the night.

No. 1 Middle School, Expedition Team Square.

They met here, and ultimately decided to part ways here as well.

Watching Tong Yishan leave in a grand procession surrounded by a group of housekeepers, Bai Jinxuan turned her head and disappeared into the darkness.

[Credits +70]

The smart bracelet's display didn't make her happy; on the contrary, her expression was more serious than ever before.

Yao's parents, take a good look.

I'll find a way.

A cold light flashed in her scarlet eyes.

Volume 1: Chapter 120: The Girl in a Dilemma

Night fell as scheduled.

Because the auction was held relatively late, Bai Jinxuan had some free time to work at the Very Sweet and Delicious shop after making preparations.

She stood behind the dessert shop window, quietly watching the students passing by.

Today, very few people came out of the cafeteria; it was much quieter than usual.

Many shops have closed for some reason, and only a few have their lights on.

"What a lonely day."

Seeing that no one had entered the store for a full half hour, Manager Qiluo couldn't help but cross her arms and sigh inwardly.

As a shop assistant, Bai Jinxuan felt she should say some nice things to the boss.

She thought for a moment and said calmly, "There are no classes on weekends, so students either take leave to go home or focus on studying in their dormitories, so naturally there aren't many people wandering around the campus."

"And what about you, Miss?"

Shopkeeper Qiluo, of course, understood this. She leaned closer, patted Bai Jinxuan's bunny ears, and asked gently, "Aren't you going home or going to study? Activating a magic circle is very expensive, isn't it?"

Bai Jinxuan had gotten used to the store manager's little hobby. After all, she was the store manager, so it was all her choice what clothes she wore, how she addressed herself, or how she teased herself.

If you take it seriously, you'll be heartbroken.

"Manager, I will definitely study hard after work. But more than that, I want to learn how to make strawberry cake again."

"Well, there aren't many customers right now anyway..."

----------------------

After finishing her work, Bai Jinxuan drove back to her dormitory. Before leaving the shop, she bought two boxes of strawberry cakes.

It's been so long since I've had strawberry cake! I have something important to do tonight, so these two boxes of strawberry cake are a little reward for myself after working so hard to prepare today.

"So sweet."

After a few spoonfuls of cake, a feeling of comfort spread through her, which eased her tense nerves considerably.

Glanced at the phone.

My chat history with Yao Yao ended the day before yesterday; Yao Yao's parents haven't replied to the message explaining the Originium Disease.

She put down her phone, went to the dressing table to change her clothes, and then straightened her long, silvery-white hair, tying it into a bun.

After doing all this, she took out the Shadowless Cloak and covered herself with it, the hood completely covering her hair.

"That's almost it."

She looked at herself in the mirror for a while and nodded in satisfaction.

Thus, Bai Jinxuan, a middle school student, is about to finish her performance, and Bai Qianye, a black market dealer, will soon take the stage.

Bai Jinxuan has never left her dormitory, while Bai Qianye is choosing a teleportation point in the black market.

Finally, she glanced at the half-eaten strawberry cake on the table.

Despite the ominous feeling of a flag being raised, she still wanted to come back and eat it again because she knew that, regardless of success or failure, she needed this half of the strawberry cake to recover.

Delicious food,

Save it for last and savor it slowly.

She smiled calmly and disappeared into the shadows.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Jinxuan appeared on the edge of an alley on the outskirts of the black market.

The place was sparsely populated and eerily quiet, but for her, that was all a positive factor.

To avoid being recognized at the auction, Bai Jinxuan did not wear a headband or gloves. This time, she acted entirely as Bai Qianye, and apart from her silver hair, she was virtually identical to Bai Jinxuan.

Soon, she arrived at the territory of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

The bustling shops and stalls stand in stark contrast to the deserted No. 1 Middle School.

Because many executives from well-known companies came to the black market this time, the overall security has improved a lot, especially near the Chamber of Commerce. Every few steps, there are people with golden dragon logos standing guard.

When things got a little chaotic and they realized the other party had no real status, they resorted to violence to suppress them, chasing away the thugs and street vendors along with them.

If it weren't for the fact that this place is relatively close to the venue, Bai Jinxuan felt that they could have started killing each other without anyone daring to say anything.

This demonstrates the significance of this event; its scale is truly unprecedented.

Bai Jinxuan took out her phone and found the location of the main venue.

That place is the center of the black market; you can't get around the alleys, you have to walk along the main road.

With no other option, she could only pinch the hat on her head, then put her hands in her pockets and, like a ghost, blend into the crowd.

Along the way, many people with guards and dressed in expensive gear walked through a special passage. Judging from their direction, it was clear that they were heading to the main venue of the auction.

This made Bai Jinxuan frown slightly; the people who went to the auction were more powerful and influential than she had imagined.

Her two hundred million might not have the purchasing power as high as she thought.

We can only hope that the diamonds will bring her more benefits.

With this in mind, Bai Jinxuan began searching for people with the golden dragon mark on their bodies.

The passersby around her were usually just spectators; they didn't even have tickets and couldn't get into the venue.

They gather here simply to join in the fun and see if they'll get lucky and bump into a rich young man or woman around the corner, get noticed, and live a life of comfort and ease from then on.

"Look, which powerful family is this? What a handsome golden dragon!"

"The Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce? You don't even know about that? You've been wasting your time in the black market?"

Hearing a commotion around her, Bai Jinxuan followed their gaze and saw a group of people dressed in black mandarin jackets gathered together not far away. Their clothes were very uniform, all adorned with swirling golden dragon patterns, exuding an air of sophistication.

It must be them.

Bai Jinxuan had previously mentioned to Long Jinming that she wanted to share a position with the Jinlong Chamber of Commerce, and the other party responded that she would be allowed to join the Jinlong Chamber of Commerce's team when entering the venue.

Because the main venue is set up with people entering in batches, this makes it very clear who is bidding and prevents unidentified individuals from sneaking into the venue...

Big shots always have a lot of trouble.

She mentally grumbled a bit, then stepped out and walked through the crowd, heading straight for the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

When the members of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce saw a man in black approaching, they initially mistook him for an assassin and immediately took up defensive positions, intending to capture him.

However, before they could make a move, they heard the president's hearty laughter: "Miss, you've arrived."

In an instant, all the disciples of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce widened their eyes.

Miss? What Miss? Does our Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce still have investors?

So, this person in black was actually a woman!?

Even the president is being so polite to her, she must be someone important!

After a quick exchange of glances, they immediately understood and bowed respectfully, saying in unison, "Greetings, Miss!"

For a moment, the entire entrance was completely silent.

All eyes were on Bai Jinxuan, even the guards in the special passage couldn't help but pause and cast their gazes in this direction.

Bai Jinxuan: "???"

Netizens: "??????"

A passerby realized what was happening and whispered, "That person, didn't she just walk out from next to us?"

“Um… I think so…” another passerby said instinctively.

"She's so mysterious, and the people from the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce treat her with such respect... Is she some kind of big shot, the kind who would kill us all if her identity were exposed?"

"Oh no, I think I just brushed against her clothes. Am I going to get in trouble?"

"I think I got it on too!"

In just a few seconds, their curiosity about Bai Jinxuan turned into fear, and many of them started to run away, hypnotizing themselves into believing they had never been to the black market.

The chaotic scene left Bai Jinxuan speechless.

She just wanted to get in, but the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce made such a big scene.

He wants to bind himself to the other chambers of commerce and give them a deterrent effect... That despicable Long Jinming, he's made him the center of attention.

At this moment, Bai Jinxuan was in a dilemma. She had already shown Long Jinming great courage and confidence. If she backed down here, she would gain nothing but prove that Bai Qianye was a good-for-nothing with no family background.

On the contrary, if they could withstand this momentum, then Bai Qianye would be seen as a mysterious person whose background they couldn't even figure out in the eyes of the other chambers of commerce.

The addition of such a being to the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce is like the Jade Emperor personally coming to Flower Fruit Mountain to serve as Sun Wukong's general. If he were to accidentally offend one of the monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain, 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals would immediately arrive at his doorstep, which would be terrifying.

Businessmen will stop at nothing.

Bai Jinxuan closed her eyes, waved her hand casually, and said indifferently, "No need for formalities, let's hurry up."

Upon hearing this, Long Jinming smiled happily, because he knew that the reputation of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce had been elevated even further.

But that wasn't all. To prevent other chambers of commerce from having any bad intentions, he had to show them in person just how close this mysterious person was to the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce.
