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

They are all part of the history of the underground city.

Ninety-eight years ago, the dungeon suddenly appeared in this world, bringing magic, power, and new energy... completely changing the world's landscape.

Subsequently, various countries in this world fought fiercely for underground resources. Martial artists with the strength of the ninth rank shook mountains and rivers, and the aftershocks of the battles destroyed several countries.

This terrifying power, instead of alerting humanity, only fueled their desire for power even more.

The battle for control, slaughter, and devouring raged for years, eventually destroying most of the world's countries and bringing humanity's doomsday to the brink.

Finally, some high-level explorers came to their senses. They rallied together to protect the environment, form unions, and suppress violent nations. Initially, their fighting strength was not promising, but as the unions grew stronger, they eventually unified the world through the united efforts of everyone.

After that, a city symbolizing a new star—the City of Stars—rose from the ground.

"Clap."

Bai Jinxuan closed the book, looked at the title, and after confirming that it was a history book and not a novel, she suddenly slumped onto the table.

The history books describe it exactly as Jia Ruolin's information, a pure story about "Rebirth: After Obtaining a Divine Artifact in Another World, I Formed a Guild, Unified the Continent, and Became the Strongest in the World".

"Could it be that the founder of the guild was also a reincarnated individual who obtained a divine artifact and then achieved his current success by relying on that mysterious power that made one artifact stronger than four?"

She silently dismissed the book's claims about unity, friendship, and the power of bonds; it was clearly just a bluff.

To some extent, she had begun to believe Jia Ruolin's words.

If that's the case, then the guild's attention to the artifact might be even greater than I imagined. And since my parents are connected to the artifact, I'll have to be even more careful if I want to continue investigating.

She knows far too little.

With this in mind, Bai Jinxuan decided to focus on improving herself first. Only in this way could she delve into the underground city and learn information that ordinary people did not know.

Time flies, and before we knew it, the day of the joint entrance examination arrived.

After a period of medicinal baths and training, Bai Jinxuan has basically cleared the second level of the dungeon. She is invincible in one-on-one combat, can usually take on 3 opponents, and is capable of taking on 5 opponents.

She is now very proficient in martial arts skills—rapid evasion and enhanced Meow Meow grenades. Not only that, she has also developed exclusive potions, namely the [Berserk Potion] and [Volatile Potion], which are derived from predatory plant attractants extracted from flesh tumors.

Through her observation, she discovered that the bait contained pheromones that stimulated the predatory plants' frenzied attack desires. These pheromones could neutralize the digestive juices of the predatory plants, and after fusion, they retained their 'volatile' properties.

By injecting volatile potions into pain potions or burning potions, you can create area-of-effect attacks, and you'll never have to worry about enemies not having buffs again.

The principle behind the berserk potion is to add life and strength potions to the predatory plant attractant. This was discovered by Bai Jinxuan by accident. After adding these universal biological potions, the pheromones of the predatory plants are fused into universal biological pheromones, and anyone who comes into contact with them will go completely insane.

Unfortunately, this was of little use to Bai Jinxuan, so she didn't make too many berserk potions, just a few bottles, to create chaos and annoy people.

With the help of these items, as well as Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, and divine artifacts, Bai Jinxuan's overall strength could even reach level 3. Last night, she directly killed an Evil Heaven Tree and obtained a lot of new potions...

"I am definitely much stronger than Yao Yao now!"

She drew back the curtains, looked at the newly risen sun, and her face was full of confidence.

Because the joint entrance exam is later than usual classes, she has about 30 minutes of free time to have a nice breakfast without having to rush.

I opened the wardrobe, put on my uniform skirt, and then took out some hot soy milk and meat buns from my treasure box. After eating them in the living room, I popped a few cherry tomatoes into my mouth. It was incredibly pleasant.

After having a good breakfast, she took a bus to No. 5 Middle School.

This time, the scale of the event at No. 5 Middle School was even larger than that of the sports meet. There were many hovercars parked outside the school. It was the first time that Bai Jinxuan had seen hovercars up close in real life. It was quite novel, but unfortunately, she couldn't go up and touch them.

When I entered the school gate, the gatekeeper was nowhere to be seen; instead, a group of teachers were in his place, including Zhang Hu.

"Please show your student ID," a robot nearby said in a serious voice.

So strict?

Bai Jinxuan paused for a moment, then took out her student ID from the inner pocket of her handbag.

The robot's eyes instantly emitted a blue light as it scanned the student ID.

"Name... Bai Jinxuan... Student ID... 5z54653907626... Confirmation complete, passage granted."

After saying that, the robot ignored Bai Jinxuan and stopped the next student who was about to enter the campus.

Seeing this, Bai Jinxuan leaned over to Zhang Hu and asked, "Brother Hu, what's the background of this robot?"

"Call me the Dean of Students."

Zhang Hu spoke in a serious tone, his earnestness making him seem unfamiliar to others.

Helpless, Bai Jinxuan zipped up her handbag and continued, "Teacher Zhang, what's the background of this robot?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hu's eyelids began to twitch wildly, but fortunately this only lasted for a short while.

He took a deep breath and said calmly, "That was a robot sent by the Upper City Education Bureau to ensure fairness and prevent proxy test-takers. Besides here, the exams are also conducted by robots and proctors at the same time."

The implication is that while invigilators monitor students during the exam, robots simultaneously monitor both invigilators and students, significantly increasing the difficulty for students to cheat.

"I see."

"So why aren't you going to the exam hall yet?"

Zhang Hu felt a headache coming on. He pinched his Jingming acupoint with his fingers and then said, "...Didn't you switch to science? The magic mechanics exam is this morning, what are you doing here?"

"This is like trying to do both things at once; it's a good warm-up for the afternoon's exam."

Bai Jinxuan crossed her arms and answered confidently.

"Then why are you still standing here?"

"Because there's no rush."

"..."

Zhang Hu hesitated to speak, and the other teachers cast complicated glances at him, creating an awkward moment.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary appearance and excellent demeanor walked over.

"Well, it's fine to let the student see if she's curious. As long as she can get into the exam room ten minutes early, that's good enough."

"But Teacher Chen..."

Teacher Chen waved his hand, walked up to Bai Jinxuan, and smiled, "Haven't you ever seen this kind of robot before?"

"Hmm, it works with magic? I see there seem to be magic crystals inside."

Bai Jinxuan was indeed only staying here out of curiosity about the robot. The reason was simple: after seeing that Magic Company could create such intelligent robots, she had a bold idea.

That is—to pilot a Gundam!

Okay, that's too far-fetched. She just wants to build some laser cannons so she has more ranged options when killing monsters underground.

After hearing Bai Jinxuan's words, Teacher Chen's mood improved significantly, and even his eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

"That's right, it's amazing you could tell... except it came from underground."

"underground?"

"The dungeon, haven't you ever been there?"

"Um... I haven't gotten my exploration permit yet."

That's true. Bai Jinxuan's progress was too fast, and she simply didn't have time to go to the guild for the assessment to get the exploration certificate. So, on the surface, she was still a newbie who had never been to the dungeon.

"You'll get it soon." Teacher Chen glanced at her watch and reminded her with a smile, "The proctor will be handing out the exam papers in 5 minutes. You'll need to go through some procedures before entering the classroom... You'd better hurry to the exam room."

"okay, thank you."

Bai Jinxuan nodded very politely, then glanced at the robot at the school gate and turned to leave.

In previous exams, the exam rooms were arranged according to scores, but this joint exam is different; the order is completely shuffled and the exam rooms are randomly assigned.

Therefore, Bai Jinxuan was assigned to a relatively remote examination room.

Of course, for her, who already possessed second-tier strength, getting to the examination hall was just a matter of seconds.

Soon, she arrived at her examination room.

Sure enough, a robot was parked at the classroom door.

[Supervision Robot (Prototype Modification)]

The robot, which was not yet completed, has had its magic modified and is now executing new commands.

"A robot from the underground city..."

Bai Jinxuan murmured softly and took a step closer.

"Slap! Please show your identification!"

The supervising robot took out a whip and slammed it hard on the ground, startling Bai Jinxuan.

No, you're a farmer? I'm not kidding, this is a real supervisor...

She quickly took out her exam admission ticket from her handbag.

This robot, like the boxing robot at the school gate, first scanned the student and muttered, "Identity confirmed, examinee Bai Jinxuan, please raise your hands immediately and wait for your belongings to be checked."

so troublesome.

Bai Jinxuan pursed her lips and raised her hands.

The blue light slowly scanned upwards.

"Checking... Checking... Alarm, alarm... Anomaly detected, anomaly detected!"

The piercing alarm immediately attracted the attention of the monitoring teacher and the examinees in the examination room, and they all turned their gazes toward Bai Jinxuan.

"No, I didn't do anything!"

Bai Jinxuan was dumbfounded. What was wrong with this robot? It was fine just now, so why is it starting to detect abnormalities now?

At this moment, the proctor quickly came over, his face displeased.

"Excuse me, are you carrying any contraband?"

"No, is there a problem with this robot?"

"How could that be? This is a rare item distributed by the Education Bureau. You'd better tell the truth, classmate."

The other party's aggressive demeanor immediately calmed Bai Jinxuan down. She suddenly realized that she might actually have 'contraband' on her.

That was her magic weapon—the treasure chest.

Damn it... I should have realized this when I got the magic detector. There might be other items in the dungeon that can detect artifacts, like this robot in front of me.

I need to quickly take out the Shadowless Cloak to block it out...

Just as Bai Jinxuan was about to take out a cloak from her handbag to try and get away with it, she suddenly remembered something.

The Shadowless Cloak can only be used to completely or partially cover the body; it cannot selectively cover the body. In other words, once the Shadowless Cloak is used, the robot will not be able to detect her identity information and will treat her as someone who took the exam for someone else.

Damn, we're about to capsize in the gutter...

Bai Jinxuan broke out in a cold sweat. If they really thought she was a substitute test-taker, how would she explain it when Zhang Hu and the principal came and saw that it was her in person?

If all else fails, we'll have to run away!

In that instant, she prepared for the worst: to immediately change her expression, slip into the shadows, disguise herself as the real test-taker, teleport away, and then tell Zhang Hu that she had been sleeping at home the whole time.

Although this will have a significant impact on her eligibility for the joint entrance examination, it is a much better result than having her cheat device exposed.

She made up her mind to throw two Meow Meow grenades to buy time, change into her dungeon set, and teleport away. Just then, the supervisor robot continued to speak.

"Anomaly detected... Anomaly detected... Initiating self-investigation, target identified..."

"Attempting to repair..."

"Repair complete."

The supervising robot lowered its head and said, "Authentication complete. Welcome back, Bai Jinxuan. Have a pleasant morning."

The students in the classroom: ???

Invigilator: ???

Bai Jinxuan: ? ? ? ? ?
