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

For her now, 20 yuan is the price of 10 medicinal baths. Her family only has 50 doses of medicinal water, which will be spent in less than two months.

I'm such a money-devouring beast!

Yao's parents' monthly salary isn't even enough to cover two baths for themselves... But what can they do? Medicated baths are the most affordable way to improve one's physical condition through natural methods. If they switched to nutritional meals, the result would be that they would be expensive and not very effective.

Consider it an investment. If I can reach Level 2 before the joint entrance exam, then I should be set.

As she thought this, she looked at the date displayed on her phone.

There are still two weeks until the joint entrance exam.

Being the top student at No. 5 Middle School is merely an entry ticket to face those prodigies in the Upper City. To defeat them, one must rank above Yao Yao; that level is not enough.

I'll go to the dungeon this afternoon to train and earn money, and digest the remaining magic power in my body. I'll soak again tonight!

Because she was completely resistant to the medicine, she was able to exert herself so much and had the ability to compete with the inner disciples of those major sects.

Volume 1: Chapter 54: The Girl with the New Order

"Uncle and Aunt, I'll be eating out tonight, please keep these snacks."

After getting four pieces of strawberry cake from the very sweet and delicious shop, Bai Jinxuan bought some fruit on the way and handed them to Yao's parents at Murong's house.

They always save their money and never treat themselves to a penny. If we don't put the goods directly in front of them, they might never buy them on their own initiative in their entire lives.

Even if I occasionally go out to buy things, it's mostly because I've heard news that Yao Yao is back.

Bai Jinxuan saw all of this. Yao's parents treated her like their own daughter, so she hoped that the two middle-aged people could live a better life.

At least for now, I don't need their money anymore.

Upon hearing Bai Jinxuan's words, Yao's parents were overjoyed and readily agreed. They then inquired about the sports meet and, knowing that nothing unexpected had happened, they were as happy as two children.

The pleasant lunchtime passed quickly.

Bai Jinxuan returned home, changed into a black trench coat and sunglasses, and teleported to the edge of the jungle on the second level of the dungeon.

The Undead Guild's small factory is still operating, and the white skeletons are still patrolling the wasteland, unchanged from yesterday.

It's clear they're not panicked at all.

When the union representatives arrive, we're doomed.

Bai Jinxuan took a few cherry tomatoes out of her pocket and popped them into her mouth.

Since she planned to spend the night in the dungeon, she prepared a lot of food in advance, including cherry tomatoes, as well as a lot of barbecue and snacks.

This is a protracted war, so supplies must be properly prepared!

How could someone with money possibly suffer? How can you make money on an empty stomach? You won't make a single penny!

So... don't be in such a hurry to come and die.

Sensing the aura of a demon rushing from behind, Bai Jinxuan instantly shifted two body lengths to the side using her shadow, then raised her telekinetic sword and slashed down fiercely.

The Venus flytrap that had attempted to ambush Bai Jinxuan was cut in half and fell to the left and right sides respectively.

Seeing this, Bai Jinxuan swung her sword horizontally again. After confirming that it wouldn't come back to life, she stepped forward, stomped on the Venus flytrap's mouth, and with a few quick swishes, pulled out all its teeth.

"Seven thousand in hand."

Bai Jinxuan was already very skilled at this set of procedures, and everything, including the finishing touches, went smoothly.

However, her main purpose today was not to make money. Her primary task was to check the movements of the guild and get them to fight against the Undead Secret Society.

Killing monsters was just a side effect.

She jumped off the Venus flytrap's head.

Carrying his sword and channeling his inner energy, he slowly made his way towards the Potions Capital, absorbing the surrounding magic power.

In dungeons, the strength of monsters is not uniform. For example, the squid sundew and the greedy Venus flytrap are different; one is good at control and the other at melee combat. They each have their own strengths and their combat power varies greatly in different situations.

Therefore, some level 3 explorers also perish on the second underground level.

In addition, the second underground level also contains heavyweight monsters like the Evil Sky Tree. According to some jokes online, there was once a Tier 3 expedition team, all of whom were melee fighters, who gritted their teeth and tried to kill the Evil Sky Tree, only to be wiped out and left hanging on the tree for a fun five-player match.

The comments under the jokes are all humorous, talking about the consequences of not having a mage in the expedition team.

Only then did Bai Jinxuan realize why Zhou Kai had contacted that old classmate, the mage. It turned out that he, being a level 1 mage, couldn't damage the Evil Heaven Tree, so he needed the mage to remotely cripple it before he could finish it off.

However, it was also the same intelligence Zhou Kai provided at the time—that the Evil Heavenly Tree's aggressive desires would be greatly reduced when it was modifying humans.

Do you expect me to find a few unlucky guys to help me kill the Evil Heavenly Tree?

Bai Jinxuan felt a bit troubled. If she encountered the Evil Heaven Tree, she should run away first. The sex-changing potion was not easy to earn. For now, she would look for the Rafflesia, Venus flytrap, and squid sundew, which are predatory plants.

Kill a few more monsters, and you'll have tens of thousands of monster materials to spare. Anyway, she's someone who uses artifacts to explore the map, so she's never worried about finding easy prey.

And so, she quickly arrived in the Potions Capital with a bountiful harvest.

Smuggling had become a habit for Bai Jinxuan; to her, the guards of the Potions Capital were practically nonexistent.

He squeezed through the crack in the wall and got in.

Emerging as a shadow assassin—a cleaner—he strode quickly out from a secluded corner, and thus, an extra person appeared out of nowhere in the Potions Capital.

To her surprise, the Deadpool Outer Burial was still operating in the Potions Capital.

"You have been detected to have entered the City of Potions... You have a new outsourced order from the Dead Gang, please process it promptly."

Not long after she came in, her phone started urging her to deliver takeout.

Because the identity of a cleaner is indeed very useful, Bai Jinxuan delivers takeout almost every week to maintain this identity.

After all, regardless of whether she kills or not, for her, it's often just something that happens along the way.

"What kind of orders will there be today... wait, so many zeros?"

Bai Jinxuan's pupils contracted as she looked at the reward amount on her phone.

【10, 000, 000.00】

She was almost out of her mind with numbers, so she stretched out her index finger and started counting: "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands... ten million!?"

So much money? Who are you going to kill? I don't think my sword is any less effective!

Swipe down.

Name: Zhang Mengli

【Gender: Female】

【Age: 16】

[Family: Heiress of a corporation, sole heir to a leading health technology company.]

[Occupation: Student at Star City Second Middle School.]

[Mission Description: The target will arrive in the Potions Capital this afternoon with his accompanying guards. Simply kill them. After our confirmation, the bounty will be automatically deposited into the successful person's black market account.]

[Mission Deadline: Until the end of the night. Assassins, please hurry.]

After reading the introduction of her identity, Bai Jinxuan felt a chill in her heart.

Go and kill someone else's technologically advanced young lady? You've got a death wish!

Even if you earn the reward money, do you even consider whether you're alive to spend it?

Only an idiot would go!

Just as she was thinking this, the people at the intersection ahead dispersed, making way for a wide road.

Immediately afterwards, a simply dressed young girl, protected by a group of well-equipped guards, looked around with curious eyes.

Suddenly, a masked man darted out from the crowd. He was as fast as lightning. Before Bai Jinxuan could react, he had already been trampled to the ground by one of the guards and smashed into ashes with a fiery fist.

To others, the speed of the cremation was as if the body had vanished into thin air.

Some people in the crowd were even saying, "Did someone just run out?"

No, you must have seen wrong!

"Who is this important figure who has come to the Potions Capital? Having a guild tier 5 leader as her bodyguard...?"

"Shh—keep your voice down. She's supposedly the heiress of Qiangjian Technology. If you mess with her, your whole family will be finished."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxuan glanced curiously at the young lady, then her facial muscles gradually stiffened.

Damn, isn't that the girl who sells medicine on the black market?

Volume 1: Chapter 55: The Girl Who Suddenly Realized

Yes, it must be her!

Before obtaining the digestive granules from the Rafflesia, Bai Jinxuan had been searching for her in the black market, so she had a deep impression of her.

At the time, she thought the girl was a bit silly; a medicinal powder made from a Rafflesia flower only cost a few hundred yuan.

So now you're telling me you're the big boss of the Upper District? Or the heiress of Qiangjian Technology?

If you're not a sister, what the hell are you doing, selling bags of medicine for 200 yuan on the black market? What's the point?

Experiencing life, huh? You almost got to experience dying in a dark alley...

Bai Jinxuan wiped her sweat. If Zhang Mengli were to make a mistake in the black market one day, wouldn't Qiangjian Technology turn the entire black market upside down?

She's probably going to suffer a lot as a street vendor.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take a few steps back and hide behind to observe secretly.

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

Is this the dungeon? It's a little different from what I imagined...

Zhang Mengli slowed her pace as much as possible, looking around.

There were many onlookers, all sorts of people, but the woman was nowhere to be seen.

Did she...see me?

Zhang Mengli still vividly remembers what happened that night; it felt like a nightmare, yet also like a dream.

The reason it was a nightmare was because the first time she sneaked into the lower city, she encountered such a terrifying thing. In her panic, she even forgot to use magic and almost lost her virginity as a result.

As for why it was a dream, it's because she was so lucky to have a mature-looking older sister who not only taught her how to sell medicine but also saved her and educated her about what the black market was like.

It wasn't until recently that she learned the downtown area was completely different from the school; there were bad people doing evil in the black market, and no one cared about it.

That's why she was so grateful and admiring of that older sister. Even in such a place, she remained kind-hearted and willing to help someone she had only met once.

She must have killed someone on purpose to tell me how cruel reality is, and that's why she said such hurtful things!

This garment is the evidence!

Zhang Mengli clutched the dress she was wearing tightly.

An unkind person wouldn't keep convincing themselves and giving themselves clothes to wear until the very end.

She even thoughtfully prepared such an adorable dress for herself, despite being such a mature older sister... She's such a good person; she must never do anything bad.

And to avoid scaring myself, she even took the body with her. She was so thoughtful; I should repay her properly.

Her gaze was firm as she swept across the crowd of onlookers, but she still couldn't find that mature older sister.

Where did they go...?

In fact, after returning to school, Zhang Mengli asked the family housekeeper to search the lower city area and also paid some information brokers to search the black market, but they found nothing.

The other party seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace. Instead, the three people who had bullied him were brought out by the information broker. All three were orphans, the kind of desperados described in the book.

After careful consideration, Zhang Mengli concluded that since it wasn't on the surface, it was most likely underground.

Judging from her strength, she was probably between the first and third levels. It just so happened that her family's factory on the second level had some problems, so she pleaded with her father until he agreed and then came downstairs to find someone herself.

Unfortunately, we still couldn't find it.

She sighed, and just as she was wondering whether she should secretly pay an underground intelligence broker to find the person, a row of solemn guards walked over.

"Hello, welcome to the Potions Capital. I am the captain of the guard, responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the Potions Capital."

The leading guard smiled, his hand hovering in mid-air, but was ignored by the guards who used the Flame Fist.

Bai Jinxuan felt so embarrassed by his appearance that she wanted to scratch his toes on the ground.
