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

Zhou Kai fell silent.

Although killing in the dungeon is not uncommon, this is, after all, guild territory. If word gets out, she'll be wanted. Besides, that woman has family members... This is another new problem.

The best solution would be to have the assassins from the guild bury the woman in an undeveloped area, and afterwards simply say she was attacked by a monster. This way, the guild wouldn't need to mobilize resources to search for her, and the woman's family wouldn't have the funds to hire someone to search. With no one to prove her dead, she would be completely unharmed.

However, this is all contingent on no one discovering it during the process. Once it becomes known and he is placed on a wanted list, Zhou Kai may face the confiscation of all his property and immediate execution.

That was an ending Zhou Kai never wanted to see. He didn't come to the dungeon to die. If this mission succeeded, earning another 20 or so wouldn't be a problem. He could just consider this loss as bad luck...

Thinking of this, Zhou Kai gritted his teeth and transferred 21 yuan to Bai Jinxuan's black market account.

Volume 1: Chapter 6

Chapter: The Girl Who Was Buried Outside

The black market can be considered the intermediate zone between the surface and the underground.

Black market accounts serve as a bridge between them; almost everyone who comes to the dungeon has a black market account.

It has the characteristics of being difficult to trace, having good confidentiality, and having rapid fund transfers. As a blogger who has a lot of contact with the black market, Zhou Kai's funds are naturally stored in black market accounts for easy access at any time.

But he never expected that one day, this would cause him to lose almost all of his property in just a few minutes.

Watching Blackie turn into black mist and disappear without a trace, Zhou Kai couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have posted the video... No, if I hadn't posted the video, I wouldn't have been qualified to discuss the next business deal.

Either way, it's wrong. Oh well, there are always trade-offs when it comes to doing things. Luckily, the black guy didn't kill anyone directly.

A powerful figure like this, who can teleport, would probably find killing too dirty for him.

He shook his head, banishing the extraneous thoughts, and took out his phone.

"Once the assassin buries this woman, he can officially join the organization. It seems that making money really requires partnerships... By the way, why hasn't the assassin from the Deadly Gang arrived yet? Damn it, I'm giving this a bad review!"

Bai Jinxuan, who was in the shadows, originally wanted to hear more information, but when she heard that this guy was going to give a bad review, she had no choice but to appear at a corner. First, she removed the visual shielding of her cloak, then changed her face to that of a cleaner with freckles, and adjusted her voice changer.

After confirming that everything was ready, she jogged over to Zhou Kai.

"License plate ending in 4756?"

"Yes, can I choose the delivery location?"

"You have to pay more."

The concise answer made Zhou Kai a little nervous. He took out a thick stack of envelopes from his pocket and handed them over.

When I opened it, it was full of banknotes, but the top one was a map.

"Here's five thousand. After it's done, I'll give you another five thousand as a reward. The location is marked on the map. Do you understand?"

Bai Jinxuan glanced at him quickly and briefly, nodded, then took out a black bag from her cloak, put the person in it, and carried him away.

Zhou Kai was stunned by the speed of the action. Goodness, no wonder he's a deliveryman, he's very skilled.

----------

Less than three seconds after getting out of Zhou Kai's sight, Bai Jinxuan stuffed the corpse into the treasure box and got down.

This body is really heavy. Judging from its appearance, it seems to be the same woman from before.

Bai Jinxuan sighed helplessly when she thought back to how infatuated the two of them were when she first met them.

Similar things are very common in the dungeon. Her Death Squad is specifically used to deal with these poor souls who have fallen into the abyss. It can be said that every order represents a person being swallowed up by the darkness of the underground.

"Would things be like this if we had the money to buy insurance?"

Bai Jinxuan couldn't help but sigh, "Coming to the dungeon without money and not buying insurance is practically suicide."

People in the upper-class areas, let alone going to the underground city, even going to the black market requires insurance. If there is a personal safety risk, the insurance company's elite troops will arrive within 30 seconds. As long as the person is still conscious, they can be saved even if only their head is left.

Therefore, whether in the black market or the underground city, assassins avoid policyholders, as no one wants to lose money and get themselves into trouble.

But... if you had money, would you still come to the dungeon?

Thinking of this, Bai Jinxuan paused for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.

Including myself, aren't all the people who come to explore the dungeon poor...?

Forget it, I won't think about it too much. What does it matter to me what organization this guy joined or who he killed? As long as the money is there, that's all that matters.

She took out the money, checked that everything was in order, tossed the envelope aside, and took out the map to examine it carefully.

The destination wasn't far. For Bai Jinxuan, who often wandered around undeveloped areas, this place was practically a beginner's village. Perfect, she could loot corpses along the way, and if she encountered anyone, she could even sell the slime she had just collected in a bottle that morning.

Once again, Bai Jinxuan slipped into the shadows and passed through the semi-developed area. She didn't see many corpses along the way, but instead encountered a few fellow travelers wandering around.

Judging from their appearance, they probably didn't find the body either.

Is the market really that bad today?

Bai Jinxuan frowned. Logically speaking, the semi-developed area of ​​the dungeon should produce a lot of corpses every day. Although the guys who can be bitten to death by the Phantom Snake are mostly poorly equipped, even a mosquito is still meat. She has plenty of space to carry equipment, so she can just sell them on the black market for money later.

But now, even this small amount of meat is gone. Could it be that it all went to the undeveloped areas?

She scratched her head and dismissed the idea.

Going to undeveloped areas is like courting death for ordinary people. Only wanted murderers and smugglers who would be sentenced to death if exposed would flock to undeveloped areas. No one else would want to fight monsters in such dark places.

However, reality is always surreal.

When Bai Jinxuan arrived at her destination and saw the pits all around her, she understood.

The fact that the group's outsourcing business is so booming must mean there's a big boss behind it all, assigning orders.

The boss seems a bit stingy. There are so many pitfalls, but not a single prop or equipment. He's skimmed off every last penny, leaving Bai Jinxuan with only the earnings from delivering takeout.

At best, I might get a tip.

Well, these gains seem to be much more than a pittance.

Bai Jinxuan smiled, took out a shovel, pushed the black bag into the pit, buried it, took a picture, and sent it to the client.

Shortly after, the other party sent a transfer of 5000 yuan.

Delicious.

In just one hour, Bai Jinxuan made a whopping 22 yuan. Isn't that more than she made selling slime? It's practically robbery!

With these earnings, I can pay off the loan next month and live the life of a pampered princess!

As she dreamed about the future, she put away her shovel and prepared to head home.

Just then, a string of bright red characters suddenly appeared in the dark corner.

【The Cry of the Living Dead (Rare)】

[Once planted in the ground, nearby corpses transform into skeleton soldiers.]

Hmm? A rare item?

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that in front of the numerous pits stood a tombstone glowing red, with wisps of faint purple mist emanating from it.

Almost effortlessly, Bai Jinxuan stuffed the tombstone into her treasure box.

Forget about converting the skeleton soldiers; let's just sell them on the black market first.

Her figure dissipated, turning into black mist, and the next second, she appeared in the black market on the ground.

Volume 1: Chapter 7: The Rich Girl

"You mean this tombstone is worth 30?"

Upon hearing the valuation, Bai Jinxuan's eyes widened, her expression filled with surprise.

She thought this thing would sell for a maximum of 3 yuan, but she never expected it to be so precious.

Upon hearing this, the person in charge of the valuation replied, "This is a rare item that can create skeleton soldiers. Although they are very weak, skeleton soldiers do not need to eat, sleep, or get sick. They are good laborers. If they could gain intelligence and perform more difficult tasks, the price would be even higher."

As he spoke, the man sighed, revealing a hint of regret.

With a regretful expression, he said, "Unfortunately, after our testing, the skeleton soldiers' physical strength is too low. They can't even mine minerals. The price of 30 is based on their ability to recycle inanimate objects."

Bai Jinxuan understood now: the miners who died from exhaustion underground could be transformed into skeleton soldiers and continue working on the assembly line.

In that case, did I sell it at a loss?

Bai Jinxuan thought about it carefully and felt that it wasn't that bad. She didn't have that many resources to get skeleton soldiers. You could say that these things were worthless to her and would only increase the risk of the artifact being exposed. Besides, 30 was a lot. Some more practical equipment and props were only about that price.

For example, the union's insurance sign—as long as that exists, no one on earth will dare to challenge you.

In the end, it wasn't a complete loss.

After considering it for a moment, she readily agreed.

The black market transactions are very fast. The moment Bai Jinxuan signed the contract, a notification that 30 yuan had been deposited into her account appeared on her phone.

Adding the 220,000 yuan she extorted from Zhou Kai and the 20,000 yuan she earned from selling goods yesterday, Bai Jinxuan's savings have now reached 540,000 yuan. After paying off the loan in one go, she will still have more than 100,000 yuan left.

She planned to keep the money for later use. The slime she had collected in the bottles that morning hadn't been sold yet. It seemed she couldn't sell it in the dungeon, so she could only set up a stall on the black market.

There are two types of black market operations. One is selling directly to black market chambers of commerce. These wealthy and powerful organizations are unlikely to cheat people and offer relatively reasonable prices. You won't make a profit, but you won't lose money either.

Another option is to set up your own stall. Since this is not an official business, the markup is significant, and it's normal for them to raise prices based on the needs of certain individuals.

People who browse stalls like this are usually looking for rare items that can't be bought in guilds or on the black market, and original slime is one of them.

Simple slime is common, and under the influence of guilds, there are even dedicated slime breeding farms in some places on the surface. However, compared to the pure natural slime in the dungeons, the slime produced by these farmed slimes does not have that primal, impulsive quality.

If you want that enhanced version of slime, you either have to buy it on the black market or experience it in the red-light district.

That's right, the red-light district is actually a major customer of slime, but Bai Jinxuan doesn't like the scent there, so she doesn't go near it much. She usually gives the rare items she gets to her partner in the black market so that she can help sell them.

"Dingling bell~"

The phone rang, and Bai Jinxuan, who had just finished paying off her loan, dialed the number. Then she heard a voice that couldn't hide its laughter.

"Miss Bai, guess how much we made this time? Eight thousand! A rich young master bought all the equipment you picked up!"

The excitement hidden in the other person's words made Bai Jinxuan excited as well.

This is another source of new income. With this money, I will no longer have to worry about not having enough money to buy medicine.

I used to have bad grades because I couldn't bear to take medicine. Now that I have money, my grades have improved by leaps and bounds. I even got first place in the liberal arts in the joint entrance exam. It's not surprising that I met Yao Yao at No. 2 Middle School.

Bai Jinxuan was in a great mood and said earnestly, "Miss Jia, this is the result of our joint efforts... Are you still running a stall?"

"We've already closed up shop. I'll transfer the money to you right now."

"Ok."

After saying that, Bai Jinxuan hung up the phone, and then a text message came on her phone.

Account balance +5600

The other party kept their promise and split the money 73/73. She even sent a detailed bill after the transfer.

The record showed all the goods Bai Jinxuan had entrusted to her to sell, along with their selling prices, totaling exactly eight thousand, not a single item less.

Upon closer inspection, some of the items were priced far above market value; it's a mystery how she managed to sell them...

In summary, the seemingly high 73% commission, coupled with Miss Jia's premium pricing, made Bai Jinxuan incredibly wealthy. If she had sold these items directly through the Chamber of Commerce, she would have been lucky to earn three thousand.

"The feeling of suddenly becoming rich is amazing."

Bai Jinxuan looked at her savings and became more and more smug. It was all money! She had finally become a little rich woman.

What's the first thing you do after making money?

Of course, it's all about eating!

After completing the withdrawal procedures for the dead group, she couldn't wait to teleport home, take off her heavy clothes, and head to the food street with light steps.

Barbecue, let's go! Potato chips, bring on the fun! Chicken and duck leg burgers... Even though it's not Thursday, I'm going to eat like crazy!

The silver-haired girl acted as if she hadn't eaten in years, buying any snacks she saw without hesitation. Things she couldn't afford before, things she could only dream of, she now wanted them all!

Soon, she was carrying two plastic bags filled with various foods, their combined size being about half the size of Bai Jinxuan.

"Hehe~ I've been wanting to eat this little cake for ages. I'll bring it to Yao Yao during class this afternoon..."

Thinking of how aggrieved Murong Yao looked at home, Bai Jinxuan suddenly lost her voice, and even the barbecue in her hand no longer tasted good.

"Yaoyao..."
