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

Only then did Bai Jinxuan remember that when Yao Yao went to the Upper City, she also rode in a similar floating vehicle.

What was most unexpected was that, despite the high speed, she didn't feel any shift in her center of gravity inside the hovercar.

It was as if the hovercar hadn't moved at all from start to finish; the entire vehicle didn't shake at all.

If she hadn't seen the surrounding scenery rushing past her, she would have thought that the hovercar hadn't even started moving yet.

Soon, the driver arrived at the destination and landed at the gate of the Second Middle School.

Seeing his expectant look, Bai Jinxuan transferred another thousand yuan to him on her phone, and then entered the Second Middle School with Yao's parents.

Honestly, she really didn't want to tip, but Yao's parents were too sharp-eyed. If they knew she had spent so much money to call a taxi, they would definitely say things like, "No, no, I'll pay for it," or "You should keep your money for yourself."

Just thinking about it is troublesome...

It's better to save time with money if possible. With that time, you could earn several times more underground.

It's a rare opportunity to visit No. 2 Middle School.

It's okay to spend a little money.

With this thought in mind, Bai Jinxuan led Yao's parents out of the car and arrived at the gate of No. 2 Middle School.

This is a very large door, covered with runes, and you can tell at a glance that it's not to be trifled with.

An old gatekeeper saw Bai Jinxuan approaching and said coldly, "You can pass by scanning your face."

Looking to the side, sure enough, there was a camera pointed directly at him.

Since Yao Yao had already registered and logged in with her and her parents' information in advance, it was quite easy for her to get through here.

After their faces were scanned, the passage was clear, and they were finally able to enter the interior of the Second Middle School.

The place is extremely spacious, with buildings everywhere you look, and you have no idea where to go.

Looking at the road signs next to me, they were densely covered with the distribution and routes of various areas, making it even more complicated than the crisscrossing alleys that concealed the black market.

Just as Bai Jinxuan was wondering whether she should discuss their plans with Yao's parents, a familiar voice suddenly called out from the sky: "Xiaoxuan, Dad, Mom, you've been waiting for so long."

As he spoke, a cool motorcycle-shaped hovercar descended from the sky and landed steadily on the ground.

The black-haired girl stepped out of the car with gentle and elegant movements, a smile on her face.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Yeah, long time no see."

Bai Jinxuan returned the smile.

Star City No. 2 Middle School, Food Street.

Two sisters, hand in hand, walked slowly past a row of bustling shops, accompanied by their parents.

"No. 2 Middle School is really big, it can't compare to No. 5 Middle School."

Influenced by the atmosphere around her, Yao's mother was about to take out her money to buy some snacks for the two girls.

However, before she could even enter the shop, she was stopped by Murong Yao.

"Mom, the food here is all nutritious meals, and it's really expensive. Let's go inside and order something from the shops."

"But..." Looking at the many families around her bustling about in the shops, the light in Yao's mother's eyes never faded.

It's a rare treat for a family to enjoy a meal together like this, so what's a little extra money if it's worth it?

Who knows when Murong Yao will return home next...

If she could, she really wanted to cook for them herself, but unfortunately, this was No. 2 Middle School, not a place where a nobody like her could act recklessly.

Seeing Yao's mother clench her teeth and her lips tremble, Yao's father sighed and pulled her into his arms.

"Let's listen to Yao Yao."

"......Um."

Bai Jinxuan witnessed all of this, and felt a slight stinging pain in her heart.

She glanced at Murong Yao, who, illuminated by the lamplight, was diligently leading her family to the end of the street.

In her eyes, Bai Jinxuan saw anticipation and joy.

This is a day for family reunion.

She closed her eyes, already having made up her mind.

Once she arrives in Shangcheng District, let's bring Yao's parents up here too.

They've treated me well, so I shouldn't have to work so hard anymore. Plus, I have a little money, so it's time for them to enjoy life.

After walking for a while with Yao Yao, they sat down in a noodle shop that was noticeably more dilapidated.

"Little girl, you're here for noodles again... What kind of noodles would you like?"

"Wait a minute, I need to think about it."

After speaking, Murong Yao picked up the menu and placed it on the dining table.

"Dad, Mom, and Xiaoxuan, what would you like to eat?"

Bai Jinxuan took a look and saw that the cheapest one was over 30 yuan, and it was obviously not a nutritious meal. If it were in the Xiacheng District, it would definitely be a rip-off.

But this is Shangcheng District, and it's located inside the No. 2 Middle School.

When Bai Jinxuan passed by the food street earlier, she noticed that the prices of other shops were even more shocking.

A bowl of noodles like this, with a little bit of Phantom Snake meat added, can sell for 3000 yuan, and the business is booming.

Doing business here is practically like picking up money off the ground.

Clearly, Yao's parents were aware of this as well.

"I'll have this scallion and sauce noodles."

They all ordered the more affordable noodles without prior arrangement, and seeing this, Bai Jinxuan also ordered a bowl of the same.

For someone who frequently battles monsters in dungeons, she wouldn't be picky about food if it was just about filling her stomach.

Finally, Murong Yao also chose scallion sauce noodles, and four bowls of scallion sauce noodles were served, creating an unexpectedly harmonious scene.

"When does the cultural performance start?"

Bai Jinxuan did not forget the purpose of this trip. Along the way, she only saw the booming catering industry at No. 2 Middle School, but she had not yet seen any trace of the cultural tourism industry.

"Slurp... glug."

After swallowing the noodles, Murong Yao wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and replied very ladylike, "It will be a while later, and it will be held in the central square."

"Yaoyao, you're acting like a pampered young lady. You weren't like this before."

Hearing Bai Jinxuan's teasing voice, Murong Yao blushed and explained, "This is... this is how etiquette is at No. 2 Middle School, so it's a natural habit."

“I’ve heard of that,” Yao’s mother interjected with a smile. “At No. 2 Middle School, students greet each other in the morning with ‘Gui’an’ instead of ‘Zao’an’!”

“Speaking of which, Yao Yao walks very gracefully too…” Yao’s father chimed in.

These comments made Murong Yao blush, and she complained angrily, "Dad, Mom, why are you saying this...?"

"Okay, okay, I won't say, I won't say."

While covering her mouth with her left hand and chuckling, Yao's mother waved her right hand somewhat perfunctorily.

Instantly, the entire dining table and surrounding area were filled with a joyful atmosphere.

It took them quite a while to break free from that atmosphere.

"Yaoyao, how's school? Are you being bullied?"

Bai Jinxuan asked the question that Yao's parents had always wanted to ask. Instantly, the dining table fell silent, and all three of them focused their attention on Murong Yao.

However, the other party just smiled faintly: "How could that be? I have excellent grades, no one would be so foolish as to bully me."

"That's right."

Hearing this, Bai Jinxuan felt a little relieved.

Yao Yao is in good mental and physical condition, and doesn't seem to be faking it. Besides, if she really encountered difficulties, she wouldn't completely hide it from her family.

Therefore, Murong Yao must have lived a very good life at No. 2 Middle School. The more famous she became, the more the school teachers would protect her.

In this context, normal people would not provoke Murong Yao, because such an action would almost be a slap in the face to the Second Middle School.

Moreover, the young ladies from noble families like those in No. 2 Middle School represent the face of their families with their every move.

Take Sun Ya for example. Since that attack, Longchuan sterilization has been in decline and has gradually disappeared from the market, resulting in fewer people getting sterilized now. Everyone has turned to Qiangjian Technology's enhancement injections instead.

So, Bai Jinxuan felt that the kind of vicious young ladies in storybooks who liked to bully others were all crazy women with some kind of mental problem. She guessed that the family butler was probably just drawing a salary without working. Why didn't he stop them?

Sun Ya was just doing it for the family business, okay?

As time went by, the Murong family talked about their achievements and life matters.

have to say,

Yao Yao was more capable than she had imagined. She had thought that Yao Yao would be poor after coming to No. 2 Middle School, but when she asked, she found out that because of her excellent academic performance, she had attracted a lot of sponsorships from the school and even made some magic items to sell in the guild. She was completely self-sufficient in her life.

In the end, she transferred two million yuan to Yao's parents and returned the 10 yuan she had previously sponsored for her, saying that she had money that she hadn't used and it was better to return it to herself.

Bai Jinxuan felt helpless. She wanted to say, "Is that even money?" But in the end, she couldn't bring herself to say it. She silently accepted the money and followed the other person out of the noodle shop.

Before leaving, she glanced back at the somewhat dilapidated noodle shop.

The owner's tone suggested that Murong Yao frequently ate noodles here, but her earlier words about being very wealthy suggested that she was either used to being poor or was lying to herself.

After a moment of contemplation, Bai Jinxuan shook her head. Thinking about these things was useless. As a good friend, what she should do was to help Yao Yao when she needed it, instead of worrying on the sidelines and making a mess of things.

Halfway through her thought, she suddenly remembered that she had left her handbag hanging in the store. So she went up to Murong Yao and said, "Yao Yao, I forgot my bag in the store. You guys go ahead and send me your location later, and I'll catch up."

"Oh...you'd better hurry, the variety show will start soon. Just so you know, there's a surprise coming up!"

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Bai Jinxuan nodded, then turned and disappeared into the crowd.

I overthought things and ended up making such a basic mistake; it was a real blunder.

Fortunately, I ran fast, and the noodle shop didn't have many customers, so the chances of it being picked up were not high.

The wind brushed her cheeks, and her agile figure weaved through the crowd like she was playing dodgeball.

This density is far less than the attack from the predatory plants in the dungeon; it's a piece of cake.

A short while later, the silvery-white wind drifted back into the noodle shop.

The pristine white bunny handbag lay quietly on the wooden rack.

Although the handbag wasn't expensive, it was a birthday gift from her parents when she was eight years old.

Even putting that aside, the little rabbit handbag had been with her for a long time, from the black market to the dungeon, from the lower city to the upper city. They were 'comrades-in-arms' long ago, not something that could be easily replaced or discarded.

Bai Jinxuan took off her handbag, carefully slung it over her shoulder, and then walked out of the noodle shop, preparing to send a message to Murong Yao.

She said she'd be back right away, and she was right back then; Bai Jinxuan's speed was her main selling point.

Just as she opened her handbag to get her phone outside the noodle shop, a faint sound silenced the entire world.

"Murong Yao isn't on the food street; we're too late."

In that instant, Bai Jinxuan's eyes lit up with a red light.

Volume 1: Chapter 74: The Furious Girl (Bonus Chapter)

Bai Jinxuan has always been a quiet person.

Whether it was reading alone as a child or venturing into the dungeon alone now, she always keeps to herself.

Years of habit have made her extremely sensitive to sound, especially after she reached level 2. Under the dim red moon, her ears became another pair of eyes.

That's why she was able to catch that faint sound from the noisy street.

"Murong Yao isn't on the food street; we're too late."

The tone was malicious, and the location was a small outdoor table selling tea next to the noodle shop.

She appeared to be a girl, wearing the uniform of No. 2 Middle School, with blue hair. She was unsteady on her feet and had a high center of gravity, so she was not a martial artist.
