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

The uniform of No. 1 Middle School was more comfortable than she had imagined, unlike the uniform of No. 5 Middle School which was too tight.

Turning her head to look at the old clothes she had changed out of and folded together, painful memories flooded her mind.

At No. 5 Middle School, this dress always clung to her, making her afraid to move freely, lest she break the seams if she made a big movement.

There really is no harm in comparison.

She packed the clothes away and put them in the washing machine, which, to be fair, was quite heavy.

There were so many buttons on it that Bai Jinxuan initially thought it was an airplane cockpit and couldn't understand it at all.

After she tentatively pressed the switch, the washing machine immediately transformed, startling Bai Jinxuan, who thought it was going to turn into a Transformer and attack her.

As a result, the thing contracted and deformed, becoming a transparent sphere that floated in mid-air. When the hatch opened, it stopped moving.

"What the hell is this? It's all so flashy and gimmicky."

Cold sweat beaded on Bai Jinxuan's forehead. She put the school uniform back in and started the machine again.

The transparent ball immediately began to spin, which was quite a sight to behold. If you added some colorful ambient lighting, you could practically sing karaoke on the spot.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong. If it had suddenly exploded, it would have been a real headache.

She breathed a sigh of relief and put the school

The matching socks were taken apart one by one.

There were eight pairs in total. She chose white knee-high socks, slowly pushed the top of the socks with the magic circle engraved on them down to her calves, and then put the other socks away. She then sat on the sofa.

Using these high-tech gadgets is truly exhausting.

Especially the smart bracelet; after I put on the school uniform, it kept sending me all sorts of recommendations, such as what level I was in before, how good my physical fitness was, how strong I was, and suggested that I go to the training room to retest and make a plan, etc.

Moreover, aside from these major functions, smart bracelets are also very sophisticated in their smaller functions. Just how sophisticated?

The color of the magic circle on the school uniform can be customized.

For example, the magic circle on the outside of Bai Jinxuan's knee-high socks, which was previously green by default, has now been changed to red by her.

Almost every smart bracelet she could imagine had similar functions.

Just outrageous.

And now, the smart bracelet is urging her to choose her course of study.

Science is a required subject, and the focus is on the other three elective subjects.

Most of these elective courses are designed to align with students' future career paths. For example, magical research is a subject that students typically choose if they want to specialize in magic in the Upper City.

After much deliberation, Bai Jinxuan finally chose [Pharmaceutical Preparation], [Magic Item Manufacturing and its Array Principles], and [Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation].

All three are elective subjects in the humanities, which just goes to show that Bai Jinxuan has a lot of dreams.

Sure enough, the moment Bai Jinxuan chose her subject, Chen Yufei called.

"Bai Jinxuan, why did you choose three humanities electives? Did you make a mistake? Your teacher should have already recommended related majors for you."

She only came to her senses after hearing that.

It turns out that the recommended courses, such as "Advanced Combat Knowledge," "Martial Arts Skill Development," and "Physical Training," were chosen for her by Teacher Chen.

After thinking for a moment, she answered matter-of-factly, "I didn't make the wrong choice. I think those three subjects were very useful to me."

This is true. Bai Jinxuan is very skilled at making medicine and props... Well, the former is true, but she is a complete novice in the latter. However, this does not stop her from pursuing magical props!

Compared to pure martial arts, the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts is the answer in this version. The reason why she can always gain the upper hand in unfavorable situations and challenge enemies of higher levels is all due to the use of potions and items.

Given this opportunity, she should definitely specialize in it. As for martial arts... she only has so little strength, and she can't even take medicine to speed up her recovery, so why bother with it?

There's no need for fighting. She's in real combat every day and already has her own system. Who uses combat potions to throw people away instead of drinking them themselves?

As for the final physical training, it's unnecessary. Her physical condition is quite special. What if she exposes her drug resistance and is disliked by the school?

In short, in actual combat, potions and props are more useful to her, while the subject of Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation is something she studies to build a factory and make money.

Just like when Yao Yao went to No. 2 Middle School, No. 2 Middle School gave her an abandoned factory to start a business. No. 1 Middle School also has a similar rule. However, at No. 1 Middle School, all students are eligible for this, and the factory is brand new for new students.

The difference in quality is immediately apparent; the Second Middle School is simply a poor imitation.

Upon hearing Bai Jinxuan's words, Chen Yufei was momentarily speechless.

She ranked first in science, and they chose three humanities minor subjects, saying it would be helpful for her.

If her science grades drop and she can't catch up with others, what good will she be? Tell me!

This is a serious matter and cannot be taken lightly. He immediately said seriously, "Bai Jinxuan, you need to think this through. Your current advantage is that you are good at science. Once your science grades are high enough and you have completed all the elective courses you should take, you can continue to take these courses when you have time."

Then he heard the other party's righteous and eloquent response.

"If that's the case, I'll have to start from scratch and I won't be able to keep up with the teacher's pace. Usually, in this situation, students have to spend credits to make up for the missed lessons, which is time-consuming, laborious, and doesn't bring any benefits. If you're really confident, you should choose more subjects from the beginning instead of taking one after another. In the end, not only will you not be able to finish them, but you'll also fall behind in the earlier ones."

After listening to all that, it actually makes a lot of sense.

Clearly, the other party has already understood the relevant matters thoroughly and doesn't need me to offer any advice.

Chen Yufei sighed. He suddenly felt that his role as a teacher was meaningless and he was a complete failure.

"Since you already have a plan, then I won't say anything more. Remember not to be late for class tomorrow. I am the lecturer for pharmaceutical preparations, magical item manufacturing, and the principles of magic arrays."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxuan's head was filled with question marks.

She quickly opened her smart bracelet and found that there really were courses for those two subjects tomorrow, and there was even a three-character name on it—Chen Yufei.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Chen, don't you teach science?"

Did I say I teach science?

"But I'm a science student...?"

"You're right. Science teachers usually only come to school when they're teaching. All other matters, big and small, are handled by humanities teachers according to their rank... The teacher has something to do. If you don't have any other questions, that's all for now."

"Okay, teacher, you can go ahead and do your work."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Jinxuan jumped off the sofa.

Teacher Chen is a really nice person. Even though he's so busy, he still came to ask me about my studies. I'll do as he said and trouble Teacher Chen whenever I need anything.

I've been busy for so long, I'm getting a little hungry... I'll go to school for a meal first.

She slung the cat-shaped crossbody bag over her shoulder, then, with a joyful heart, hopped on the black knight and galloped towards the cafeteria.

Since it wasn't time for get out of class to end yet, Bai Jinxuan had a smooth journey and soon arrived at the parking lot next to the cafeteria. She parked her car and the cafeteria door opened.

A gigantic shopping mall, resembling a palace, appeared before her eyes.

Shops lined both sides of the street, with various price tags displayed at the entrances, all brightly lit.

There are two more floors upstairs, and judging from the style, they are all private rooms, which are large and magnificent... It's hard to imagine that this is just a cafeteria and not some noble ball.

Bai Jinxuan had never seen such a scene before. She walked around the hall at the bottom twice. Even the dining tables in the hall were long tables, with chairs spaced far apart, and there were even special seats.

Yes, when Bai Jinxuan saw the 'Special Seating for Off-Campus Competition Participants', she couldn't help but sigh, "The students of No. 1 High School really are divided into different classes."

"Gululu——"

Her stomach growled again.

She couldn't worry about anything else; she had to start eating a whole pound right away!

However, when Bai Jinxuan approached the shop entrance and saw the price tag on the sign, her stomach suddenly stopped growling.

A meal costing a thousand yuan? Is your food made of golden rice grains?

Three thousand five hundred for a bowl of beef noodles? Is that a price a human would pay? Noodle Assassin!

Even if you're not a sister, do you know how much it costs to buy a box of milk at the First Sect?

Fifty thousand yuan.

That amount of money probably couldn't even fit in a whole rabbit-shaped handbag!

Bai Jinxuan couldn't stand it. After looking around, the cheapest thing was actually the golden rice grains that cost a thousand yuan a bowl at the beginning.

Forget it, gold rice particles are gold.

Rice Particles, at least she's a VIP, with a 50% discount, so 500 yuan a bowl is barely acceptable.

Thinking of this, she stepped forward and said to the shop owner, "A bowl of rice, please."

"Okay, what dishes would you like to add?"

"No side dishes, just rice."

"?"

The lady serving the food twitched at the corner of her mouth, looked Bai Jinxuan up and down, and was full of doubts.

This little girl looks quite delicate, so why does she only want rice and not vegetables?

Could I have misheard?

She tried asking Bai Jinxuan again, "These vegetables are all very fresh. Look at this squid and sundew; it's on special now, only three thousand a box..."

Before she could finish speaking, the silver-haired girl quickly stopped her.

"I'm sorry, I can't afford such expensive dishes. A bowl of rice will be fine with me."

"what......"

The cafeteria lady's hands trembled slightly. What a pitiful girl! She must be a well-behaved child from a poor family who barely managed to get into the top high school and was forced to struggle to continue her studies.

Facing so many classmates from prestigious families every day, she must have felt incredibly inferior. She couldn't compete with them academically, nor did she have the same access to resources. But driven by the desire to one day revive her family's fortunes, she persevered, enduring the lowest quality food to achieve average grades...

Tears.

Back in the day, I was also a struggling student like that at No. 1 High School.

Look at her, she's still so polite. She must have been a young lady from a wealthy family. Sigh, I wonder if she, like me, ever had other families to support her when she hit rock bottom...

At that moment, the cafeteria lady was thinking about many things, and she only came back to her senses when Bai Jinxuan called her.

"Auntie, can't I buy rice?"

"Yes...yes!"

The cafeteria lady wiped her eyes, leaned closer to Bai Jinxuan, and used magic to transmit her voice: "The rice in the shop is not usually sold separately. If you want to buy it, you can only buy it at the price of vegetables, because 1,000 yuan is the price for refills of rice. But since you are so cute, I will give you an exception. Remember not to tell anyone!"

As she spoke, she deftly took out a magic lunchbox from the evaporator, and then took out a box of cabbage from the warm cabinet, and quietly stuffed it into Bai Jinxuan's hand.

Seeing this, the girl quickly said, "Auntie... I can't afford it..."

"It's alright, it's your aunt's treat."

Another magical voice transmission rang out, and the cafeteria lady smiled, put her index finger to her lips, and made a very girlish "shh" sound.

The warmth of the food flowed directly into Bai Jinxuan's heart through her arm. She nodded, accepted the dinner, and returned the smile.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Don't be so polite, you must study hard and not lose to your family or fate!" The cafeteria lady cheered Bai Jinxuan on while clenching her fist and operating the payment machine.

A blue light emanated from outside the window, and then Bai Jinxuan's bracelet automatically sensed it, causing a red six-pointed star to light up simultaneously on the bow on her chest and the outside of her knee socks.

"VIP user detected, automatic discount applied... Your total spending is 500."

"The private rooms on the third floor are being unlocked. Please proceed to the designated dining area. We wish you a pleasant dining experience."

Before the system could finish its announcement, two staff members in uniforms with badges on their bodies rushed over, bowed their heads, and greeted Bai Jinxuan with a deep bow.

"Miss Bai, please come this way."

Cafeteria lady: ? ? ? ? ?

Watching the silver-haired girl carrying that cheap dinner and heading to the most luxurious third floor with the senior staff of the cafeteria, she felt a little uneasy.

what's the situation?

Isn't she so poor she can't even afford food? Why does the system show her as a Supreme VIP?

Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, she was enjoying a 50% discount, while even senior professors at the university only get a 60% discount!

How could a super-rich heiress like her possibly not be able to afford a meal?!
