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

The girl huddled up, her tattered clothes unable to completely cover her body, revealing her fair skin.

"I just wanted to kill someone."

Bai Jinxuan raised her short sword and aimed it at the girl.

"Well......"

The girl instinctively closed her eyes and used her hand to block them.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... a long time passed, but she didn't feel any pain.

He opened his eyes in a daze, only to find that the other party had vanished without a trace. Not only that, but the three corpses had also disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood.

She tried to stand up and suddenly realized there was something soft next to her.

By the moonlight, it was clear that it was a perfectly intact dress.

There was also a note on it.

Don't come to the black market anymore.

Realizing what was happening, she pursed her lips, clutched the note and her dress tightly to her chest, and let the large tears stream down her cheeks.

Miss Rebecca's Villain Speedrun Guide

Volume 1: Chapter 20: The Girl Taking a Herbal Bath

After a long time of food delivery, packing has become a habit.

By the time Bai Jinxuan realized what was happening, she had already left the black market carrying the bag.

"I feel less heavy than before... It seems that exercise is really effective."

She used to feel tired carrying just one woman's corpse, but now she doesn't feel anything carrying three men, so her physical fitness has probably improved a lot.

Thinking of this, she felt quite satisfied. After confirming that no one was following her, she casually tossed the body bag into the treasure chest and then carefully examined the magic short sword in her hand.

【Psychic Sword】

[Effect 1: Creates a psychic barrier to block the impact.]

[Effect 2: Consumes a large amount of mana to launch a thrust towards the target.]

This sword is not a mass-produced item; it's a special item produced in the dungeon. Overall, it can be considered a very high-quality piece of equipment. It could probably sell for around 40 on the black market. It's more than enough to deal with martial arts adventurers below level 2, and it might even be able to put up a fight against level 3.

If I hadn't seen this thing's special ability, I might have actually been affected.

Bai Jinxuan took a deep breath. (She was underground every day.)

When fighting monsters, she forgot that she also had eyes that could see through items and equipment.

This seemingly useless ability finally came in handy. Since she didn't have a suitable weapon, she generously accepted this telekinetic sword.

Unfortunately, the sword was probably too precious, emptying the three of them's savings. Apart from a few magic crystals and some common potions, Bai Jinxuan gained nothing else.

The only thing that could be considered novel was the pain potion.

Unlike potions that provide positive buffs, this thing is more like a torture device. Drinking it causes immense mental anguish, and in severe cases, it can even lead to a complete mental breakdown, turning someone into a madman.

This thing was found on the last guy who begged for mercy, and you can imagine what he used it for.

"Heh... People who work in the black market, what right do they have to talk about being pure and innocent? They're only good at fooling newbies."

Bai Jinxuan put away the potion, put on her cloak, took a stroll in the suburbs, and then climbed back into her room through a second-floor window.

One should always be wary of others; this was a lesson she learned after being secretly photographed.

Everything in the room was normal. It was just past midnight, and my pajamas were still on the bed.

"call--"

After a busy day, Master Bai breathed a sigh of relief, took off his cloak, picked out the underwear he needed to change into from the closet, and went to the bathroom.

She turned on the light, filled the tub with water, and waited until the water temperature was right before dissolving the powder and sprinkling it evenly into the bathtub.

In a short while, the powder dissolved completely. Although it looked as if no powder had been applied and the water remained clear, the overflowing fragrance constantly testified that she had applied the powder.

"This taste...it feels somewhat familiar..."

Bai Jinxuan sniffed the air, trying hard to recall if she had smelled a similar fragrance before. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't remember anything, so she gave up. Anyway, it wasn't a bad thing.

She only deliberately remembers things that are really bad, such as the strong, pungent smell of incense in the red-light district. She felt like she would suffocate if she went in, so it left a deep impression on her.

Never mind, let's get down first.

She shook her head, banishing these thoughts, took three magic crystals from the treasure chest, threw them into the bathtub, and began to undress.

Unzip the coat, hang it to one side, then put your index fingers inside the stockings, close your legs, and slowly push them up to your knees. Then lift your feet slightly and easily take them off, revealing your lotus-root-like toes.

Because the bathroom is very clean, Bai Jinxuan usually doesn't wear shoes. Her fair and rosy little feet step directly on the floor tiles, which are a little cold, but it doesn't bother her.

After tying her hair up, turning on the shower, and rinsing herself, the magic crystal had almost melted. She carefully stepped into the bathtub and hugged her legs.

The warm medicine quickly reached her collarbone. After carefully sensing it and confirming that the medicine had no side effects, Bai Jinxuan stretched out her body and lay down quietly.

To be honest, although it's nominally a medicine, in Bai Jinxuan's opinion, apart from having a slight fragrance, it's no different from ordinary hot water.

At most, it's like adding a magic crystal.

Huh? Could it be that the purpose of this potion is to dissolve magic crystals?

She immediately noticed the key point: the magical environment in the training room and the dungeon relied on the air, where the concentration of magical energy in the gas was very high. Could this medicinal bath be a way to draw out the magical energy from the magic crystals and increase the concentration of magical energy in the water?

Thinking of this, she tried to regulate the Qi in her body, and sure enough, it was much easier than before.

The medicinal bath really worked, and it was cheap and affordable, but it was a bit slow. The problem was that Bai Jinxuan couldn't drink the medicine. Her requirements were very low; as long as it worked, that was enough.

"Haha... Persistence pays off! I've finally found a way. I'll buy more magic crystals during this time and make a quick buck on the science list in the next joint exam!"

"I'm not going to study literature anymore, Yao Yao!"

"Wow..."

The girl stood up triumphantly, pinching a new magic crystal between her index finger and thumb, blocking the light, and striking a cool pose.

Just then, a cold wind blew by, and a sharp pain shot through my abdomen.

Looking down, he saw a bruise on his stomach, clearly from being kicked by a skeleton soldier earlier.

It hurts.

She instantly deflated, silently retreated into the bathtub, and began to rest and recuperate.

While you can't train your body while taking a bath, you can still regulate your internal energy, which is a necessary process for performing martial arts techniques.

Martial arts is the study of integrating magic into the body, while martial arts techniques are the use of the magic within the body combined with attack methods to unleash skills.

Unlike physical training, martial arts do not use magic power that is fully integrated into the body. Instead, they use energy produced from the body, similar to physical strength, which is called "qi" in martial arts.

The stronger one's physical attributes, the more magical power one possesses, the higher the quality of the Qi one can produce, and the more powerful martial arts techniques one can unleash.

In actual combat, it is often martial arts skills that can deliver a fatal blow. Therefore, martial arts skills are the highest-scoring question in exams.

Since she had nothing to do at the moment, Bai Jinxuan took the opportunity to begin cultivating her internal energy.

The textbooks at No. 5 Middle School only teach one martial art technique, which is the universal boxing method for primary and secondary school students across the country—the Power-Charging Fist.

As the name suggests, it involves first accumulating power, concentrating the energy in the right arm, and then unleashing it in one breath.

It's something everyone can do, it has no real value whatsoever.

However, there's nothing we can do about it. Martial arts are internal techniques of high-level sects, and only the noble schools in the upper city have them. Where would a mere No. 5 Middle School get such cultivation resources?

It's good enough to have an indoor place to practice! The Eighth Sect is still outdoors, and they have nowhere to practice when it rains.

"For exams, a well-prepared punch is enough... Let's improve our grades first and maintain our position in Class 1."

Bai Jinxuan hadn't forgotten her current predicament. If she couldn't achieve an average score in the next joint exam, she would definitely be kicked out of Class 1 and become utterly worthless.

"I'm on my way to No. 2 Middle School to find Yao Yao, how could I possibly collapse here!"

Volume 1: Chapter 21

The girl who was drinking drugs like crazy

Time flies. Yao Yao has been living at No. 2 Middle School for a week now. According to her description, she has adapted to classes, but the school is too big and she is still a little unfamiliar with some activities.

Honestly, this speed of adaptation is incredible. However, Murong Yao herself didn't realize it and was quite embarrassed. Therefore, Bai Jinxuan didn't say anything and let her be. Instead of worrying about her, she should worry about herself.

The joint entrance exam will be in 22 days.

This is the midterm exam, and the Education Bureau attaches great importance to the learning results of Xingzhicheng. It requires a unified joint exam in both the upper and lower districts, and all schools must participate, including No. 1 Middle School, which has never appeared before.

The First Middle School, also known as the First Sect, is the largest sect in Star City, without exception.

With his intervention, the Second and Third Middle Schools paled in comparison. The reason was simple: the First Middle School was an ancient sect that had existed since the founding of Star City.

His long-standing legacy has enabled him to cultivate countless outstanding talents, and his profound knowledge and skills are immeasurable.

It's fair to say that when the name "No. 1 Middle School" reached the ears of the students in Class 1, including Bai Jinxuan, everyone was completely bewildered. The only information they had about Shangcheng District was about the newly emerging No. 2 Middle School.

In their eyes, No. 1 Middle School was no different from the Heavenly Palace.

After all, very few of the students present had ever been to the celestial realm of the Upper City. This ancient and mysterious sect was practically a living legend.

If this were a small sect like the seventh or eighth sect, the disciples might find it novel, but Bai Jinxuan was in the fifth sect.

What is the Fifth Sect? It's the flagship of the Lower City!

When the second and third sects finished their exams, they had already given the fifth sect a hard slap in the face. Out of so many people in the whole school, only one liberal arts girl from the top 300 in the joint entrance exam got in, and she was poached by someone else.

This guy truly deserved to be poached. What level are your five sects at? You think you can train disciples who rank in the top ten of the joint exam? You know you don't have the ability! They have no reason to stop you from taking their talents!

Now that the First Sect, this behemoth, has appeared, even the Second Sect is sweating bullets trying to compete with it for a top ten spot in two subjects. Not to mention the minor Fifth Sect, who would be considered amazing if they could even get into the top 800 of the joint entrance exam.

Under such pressure, the students in Class 1 all turned pale.

Besides, they also share Bai Jinxuan's troubles.

Those with poor grades are afraid of being kicked out, while those with good grades are afraid that the newcomers will be even stronger, and once the joint entrance exam is over, their ranking will drop, and they will also become those with poor grades.

We must work even harder!
