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

"How much are these worth?"

She put down the bag she was carrying on her shoulder, opened it, and handed it to an appraiser who specialized in recycling monster materials.

He was a very down-to-earth vendor, with a pile of processed monster materials behind him. He had everything and seemed quite capable.

His eyes lit up the moment he saw the goods in Bai Jinxuan's hands.

"Wow... a rhinoceros horn dragon, so novel... Miss is a fifth-tier explorer?"

"What do you say?"

After asking a question in return, Bai Jinxuan continued, "Do you want it?"

"Yes, yes... It's rare to find such fresh rhinoceros hornfish material, of course I want it..."

The appraiser's fingers tapped the scales, producing a clear sound, and his cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

"Miss... who are you? You even have a Green Lock Dragon! And this quality... just killed it!?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Oh...yes, yes, I overstepped my bounds."

The appraiser flashed a fawning smile and quickly gestured to indicate that he knew.

Then, he reached out and gently stroked the scales, his lips curving into a smile, as if he were touching his own child, full of tenderness.

This made Bai Jinxuan feel a kind of indescribable disgust.

Can you provide a quote?

"Yes, you have all the materials for three Rhinoceros Horned Dragons here. I'll give you 100 million each, and for the Azure Locket Dragon, I'll give you 250 million... no, 300 million! Those hyenas in the guild definitely won't offer that price!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxuan immediately felt better; this price was much higher than the market price.

“Yes, you seem to really like these materials.”

"Of course! There are very few people who can kill a Rhinoceros Horned Dragon and preserve the materials so well, let alone a Blue Locked Dragon. Even a Tier 6 explorer might not be able to do that!"

"Really? Then pay up."

Bai Jinxuan spoke succinctly, taking out her phone and giving the black market account number. Seeing this, the appraiser didn't hesitate and immediately transferred the money.

However, after doing all this, he saw Bai Jinxuan turn to leave, so he quickly chased after her and handed her a business card.

"Miss, if you have any more material like this in the future, please feel free to visit our store anytime."

"I will think about it."

After giving a curt reply, Bai Jinxuan quickly left the area.

Seeing this, the appraiser was overjoyed and immediately picked up his tools to process the large bag of fresh monster materials behind him.

"I've earned another six million, so now I really have thirty million."

Bai Jinxuan glanced at her black market account; the enormous sum made her somewhat bored, and she no longer felt so excited about making money.

She first went to a large business association and spent one million to buy a large number of high-concentration magic crystals. Then she bought a lot of pain potions, corrosion potions and burning potions from the prop shop.

She had used the Pain Potion before; it gave people a mental buff, while the latter two potions gave people a physical buff.

The corrosive agent is extracted from the physical digestive fluid of the Rafflesia arboreum and can corrode equipment and skin; it is quite effective.

As for the incendiary agent, it comes from a type of fire-breathing lava worm. Its function is to ignite automatically upon contact with air when thrown out, and it can be used to block roads, attract attention, or something similar; it might have some clever uses.

If all else fails, Bai Jinxuan can use it for barbecuing.

With combat readiness fully mobilized, she prepared to leave the black market, but before that, there was one more thing she needed to do.

That is to hand over some odds and ends to Miss Jia Ruolin.

Although this amount of money was a drop in the ocean compared to her balance, every little bit counts, and it wasn't like she was selling it herself; it was just a matter of taking out the trash!

She quickly made her way through the dark alley to the stall where Miss Jia usually worked.

The other party was indeed setting up a stall, but to Bai Jinxuan's surprise, there was another person beside her.

The man was completely covered up, so you couldn't see his face; he was clearly a seasoned black market dealer.

The two were talking about something, and they were very careful with their movements, their lips were covered, so it was impossible to read their lips.

Three minutes later, the person turned and left, just like Bai Jinxuan, plunging into the alley.

"veteran."

Seeing the other person's skillful movements, Bai Jinxuan felt a sense of crisis from her peers.

The black market has many alleys, densely packed like a maze, a covert measure taken to ensure that no outsiders can enter.

Generally, newlywed tourists enter from the main road and do not venture into the alleys at all.

After all, these alleys are too dangerous. He had killed people in alleys before and nothing happened to him. This is the unspoken rule of the black market.

Therefore, people who know how to navigate these alleys are very confident in their abilities. In addition, if you are not familiar with these alleys, you are very likely to get lost once you enter them.

This isn't something that can be solved by simply climbing over a wall or breaking through a building.

These alleys in the black market are all protected by magic and cannot be climbed over. You can only walk through the maze obediently. If you can't find your way out, you will be trapped inside and die.

That's why Bai Jinxuan was in such a hurry to leave after throwing a grenade and blowing up the house, because someone would come to arrest her and make her pay compensation soon.

So here's the question: who exactly was that black market expert? Was he also here to sell goods to Jia Ruolin?

Bai Jinxuan thought about it and realized that this matter didn't seem to have anything to do with her. She hadn't been giving Miss Jia any new goods recently, so it was normal for her to look for new partners.

Thinking of this, she didn't hesitate and went straight over.

"Miss Bai, long time no see," Jia Ruolin greeted with a smile. "Any goods to be delivered today?"

"There are some."

She put down the bag from her shoulder and opened it.

These are all the items and equipment she picked up while hunting monsters in the undeveloped areas. Since nobody wanted them, she just took them all.

Jia Ruolin looked at it and was slightly surprised: "So many?"

"I've been a bit busy lately and haven't been here, so I've been saving up some money."

"These all look like Tier 2 equipment. Miss Bai, have you upgraded?"

"That's right, but unfortunately, the goods I've been getting lately are all generic and not very valuable."

Bai Jinxuan spread her hands and said casually.

But Jia Ruolin's eyes lit up: "Not at all! Even general-purpose second-tier equipment can sell for a lot of money. I was just worried about not having anything to sell, and you've really helped me out."

Hearing this, Bai Jinxuan was silent for a moment, then asked curiously, "Do you also cooperate with other people? I just saw someone chatting with you."

"So you saw it."

As Jia Ruolin took the equipment out of the bag, she calmly replied, "That's an intelligence dealer. It's hard to survive on the black market by just selling things, don't you know that? I have some connections in intelligence."

"I see..." Bai Jinxuan nodded and continued, "Then do you know what a divine artifact is?"

"boom!"

A piercing sound came from in front of her, and she saw that Jia Ruolin's hands were empty, and a steel helmet was rolling on the ground.

Bai Jinxuan frowned.

Why did she react so strongly to the artifact? Don't normal people usually treat artifacts as legends and stories?

Could it be that she really knows something about the artifact?

Just as Bai Jinxuan was pondering, Jia Ruolin came to her senses. She quickly picked up the helmet, placed it on the stall, and then leaned closer to Bai Jinxuan, whispering, "Why...why are you asking about the divine artifact?"

"I heard that the illegal organization had some kind of powerful artifact. I'm just asking around to see if I can get my hands on it to make money. Is it wrong to ask?"

Bai Jinxuan looked completely innocent.

Seeing this, Jia Ruolin was speechless for a moment.

After a long pause, she said earnestly, "Divine artifacts... are not something people like us can touch. If you want to know, I can tell you some things, but I'll charge you 500 yuan."

???

If it were before, Bai Jinxuan would have definitely pinched Jia Ruolin's face hard to see how thick-skinned she was, selling 500 yuan for just a few words.

But now, the 500 yuan means nothing to her.

She opened her phone, found Jia Ruolin, and transferred 500 yuan to her without saying a word.

This was the first time she had ever given Miss Jia a free meal. She wanted to see if this information was really worth 500 yuan. If she dared to cheat her, she would be in deep trouble.

After confirming that the other party had received the money, Bai Jinxuan coldly opened her mouth and said, "Speak."

"For your safety, don't make this public."

"Uh-huh."

"You should know about history, right? The dungeons appeared suddenly, did you know that?"

"I know. On that day, strange phenomena occurred. The earth trembled, and a large portal suddenly appeared in the center of the city, bringing us all sorts of amazing items."

After hearing Bai Jinxuan's words, Jia Ruolin blinked mysteriously.

"In fact, in the early days of underground cities, there were many organizations like guilds. They fought each other fiercely for underground resources, and often clashed and fought... Many cities were destroyed as a result."

"That's it? History books have already covered that."

"The reason why the union was able to survive to the end was because they obtained a certain artifact in that chaotic world."

Jia Ruolin took a step back, her smile carrying a hint of aloofness.

"Thank you for your patronage."

Volume 1: Chapter 69: The Girl Starting the Joint Entrance Exam

With only two days left until the joint exam, the entire Fifth Middle School was immersed in a tense wave of study.

The horrific incident during the sports meet has gradually faded from people's memory. For the Fifth Middle School now, the joint entrance examination is the most important thing in the world.

However, amidst this tense atmosphere, Bai Jinxuan started reading a history book during class.

If it were anyone else, Zhang Hu would definitely curse them as hopeless, but that was Bai Jinxuan, known as Goddess Bai, a prodigy of the Five Sects!

At a young age, he won a large prize, and even the principal gave him high praise.

As the homeroom teacher, he knew even more how terrifying the White God was.

In one week, he went from being in the middle or lower ranks to first in the class.

In just two weeks, he went from being first in his class to first in the entire school.

In the third week, they rushed to the sports meet, broke the record, and left a new mark in the history of the five sects.

By the fourth week, she was already on the track for the second year of high school and could try to win first place.

It's hard to imagine what level such a genius could reach if she studied for a few more months...

It can only be said that she is even better than Murong Yao.

Even so, advice still needs to be given.

"Bai Jinxuan, although you have excellent grades, don't slack off. You're already very good at history. If you spend more time on martial arts, I think you can make a breakthrough."

Zhang Hu spoke earnestly. He usually didn't care about general education matters, but this time he couldn't stand it anymore and came to the classroom just to remind this genius girl.

However, after listening to Zhang Hu's words, Bai Jinxuan shook her head.

"My history score was almost perfect, and the limit for martial arts in the joint entrance exam is also a perfect score, right? So general studies are also very important. In the joint entrance exam, even just 1 point can make a big difference."

After saying that, she continued to bury herself in her history book.

Seeing this, Zhang Hu could only sigh helplessly and walk away silently.

She's a genius. Judging from her appearance, it might really be true, as the internet says, that No. 5 Middle School doesn't have the ability to educate such a prodigy...

Bai Jinxuan didn't notice Zhang Hu leaving; her mind was currently preoccupied with...
