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

As for Bai Jinxuan, her thoughts were completely different from Tong Yishan's. At this moment, her focus was entirely on Tong Yishan's frail body.

With such a small size, how can you eat so much... Do you know that when you sit down, your feet can't even touch the floor? Can you really eat all that?

Just as she was internally complaining, the gray-haired loli opened her agate-like black eyes wide and asked in a somewhat pitying tone, "Bai Jinxuan, are you short of money? How can you eat like this..."

For a moment, she couldn't even find the words to describe that meager lunch.

"No, it's just my personal habit, don't worry about it."

At this moment, Bai Jinxuan suddenly understood Qiluo, the shop manager. That beautiful ice queen must have her own past, which is why she had such a personal interest in wearing maid outfits.

She herself was the same way. Even if she had money, she couldn't get used to those nutritious meals, and there was no need to eat them. She might as well buy magic crystals instead.

Unfortunately, the simple explanation of "personal habit" was far too unconvincing, and Tong Yishan did not believe her.

"How could you possibly have such a personal habit? You're a science student; you need to take better care of your health."

As she said this, she specifically pointed to the hall.

Following the gaze, I saw a slender girl downstairs who had booked a long table and was eating over a hundred dishes by herself, and she was even having extra food.

"See? If science students don't eat well, their bodies will fall behind quickly, and all the hard-earned physical strength will shrink back in no time... If you really don't have money, you can exchange credits with me. I'll give you ten times the official price, since we're friends."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxuan's eyes immediately sharpened.

You think you can touch my credits? No way! Do you really think I haven't looked into the internal credit trading mechanism among students?

Don't be fooled by Tong Yishan's nice words and the claim of a price ten times higher than the official price. The official price of 10,000 yuan per credit is basically free.

In the market, the starting price for one credit is 7 yuan, and that's just on Monday. By Sunday, when the credits are about to be settled, the price will increase several times, and one credit can easily cost 100 million yuan.

These are not the most important things. The most important thing is that academic credits are something that has a price but no market. In other words, the price can be raised at any time.

You think you can buy my precious credits for 100,000 yuan per credit? Dream on! I don't even have enough for myself!

Bai Jinxuan was unwilling in her heart, but on the surface she was still very friendly and polite, smiling and refusing: "It's not that I don't have money. You should have seen it, right? I activated 'Pride' instead of 'Gluttony'. I eat a lot of nutritious meals in the training room after class. It's just that I have class in the afternoon, and I don't like to eat too much at noon."

"makes sense."

Tong Yishan immediately realized that Teacher Chen had already given Bai Jinxuan a VIP membership, so how could he not have given her money?

She was overthinking it; she thought she could earn some credits.

To ease the awkwardness, Tong Yishan casually brought up the topic of binge eating.

"Bai Jinxuan, did you know that binge eating and sloth are often used together, but the two together cost a full 25 credits a day?"

"Is there still such a thing?"

Sure enough, Bai Jinxuan immediately got excited when the topic turned to enhancement magic circles.

Seeing this, Tong Yishan smiled, took a sip of soup to moisten her throat, and slowly explained: "Binge eats a lot, but digestion is not that fast, so you need to be lazy to speed up digestion. With this kind of resource accumulation, even a fool can improve his physical fitness. Every day, all you do is eat and sleep."

"Then why don't I see many people binge eating in the cafeteria?"

"No credits? You don't think everyone can afford binge eating, do you? 10 credits a day, do you know how many credits that adds up to in a week?"

"70 credits."

“Regular students start with 100 credits. If they don’t get first place in the weekly test or earn credits from other sources, they can be kicked out of the school the following week.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxuan did some mental calculations and realized that it was indeed true.

Looking at it this way, starting with 500 credits is really a huge bonus. No wonder Tong Yishan wanted to exchange some credits with me. Thinking about it carefully, the 100 credits for a freshman could very well be the highlight of her entire high school career.

No, no, I need to accumulate some credits too. These credits are really not enough. I'm only in my first year of high school now. The competition will only get fiercer in my second and third years. If I don't have enough credits, I'll fall behind in no time.

Of course, the prerequisite for accumulating credits is being able to earn them, and to earn credits you need personal skills, which in turn require credits...

Oh no, now the interest is compounding!

It's either a meteoric rise or a complete credit crisis. No wonder those students were hesitant to activate buff spells this morning. Credits are precious; activating Greed is already painful enough, let alone other spells that ordinary people can't afford.

I need to get an exploration permit quickly and start taking on bounty missions...

"Bai Jinxuan, why are you spacing out? The food's going to get cold."

Tong Yishan's reminder brought Bai Jinxuan back to her senses. She smiled awkwardly and then began to wolf down her food.

Tong Yishan was shocked to see her chewing at such a high speed.

To say she has bad table manners is an understatement; she simply doesn't understand table manners, but it's not to the point of affecting others. To say she has good table manners is even more untrue; before she's even swallowed a bite, she's already adding more rice to her mouth, making her cheeks bulge out like a hamster.

Let's speed up the meal; it would be awkward if Bai Jinxuan finished eating and I was still here.

With that thought in mind, the two girls stopped talking and began to focus on enjoying their lunch.

Bai Jinxuan finished eating quickly, stood up, and said, "Tong Yishan, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

"Wait a moment."

The gray-haired little girl quickly shoveled the last bit of noodles in her bowl into her mouth, disregarding all manners, chewing and swallowing with a series of loud smacking sounds.

"I...I've finished eating too. We haven't exchanged contact information yet."

"Oh, really."

Because smart bracelets are a replacement for smartphones, they have all the functions that smartphones have, including social media apps.

As soon as I opened it, a message popped up.

[“Xiao Tong” has requested to add you as a friend]

[Source: Location tracking]

Wow, they're so proactive.

Bai Jinxuan clicked "agree," and the interface automatically jumped to the chat box, where a message came from a black bear doll avatar.

[Xiaotong: We're already friends! Come chat with us!]

Bai Jinxuan: OK

[Xiao Tong: These places at No. 1 Middle School are absolutely off-limits! .docx]

[Children's Guide: Don't Open These Terrifying Ghost Stories at Night! .docx]

Bai Jinxuan was stunned when the other party suddenly triggered a fatal rhythm in the chat box, sending five documents in a row.

"What is this?"

"These are things you should pay attention to when you get back."

Tong Yishan smiled and waved goodbye.

Volume 1: Chapter 92: The Girl Who Officially Started Work

After Bai Jinxuan and Tong Yishan parted ways, Bai Jinxuan walked while checking the files the other had sent her.

"Are students from No. 1 Middle School really this particular? Using 'Gui'an' in their names... I can't stand it. No wonder I was wondering why those people looked at me with such hostility this morning."

"There are so many school rules... Wait, what's with this punishment? Deducting 10,000 credits? It seems like even expulsion at No. 1 High School is done by deducting credits, right?"

Looking through the whole list, she didn't see any explicit rules about 'expulsion'; it was all about deducting credits in various ways.

In other words, as long as the credits can withstand the deductions, receiving a few disciplinary actions is not a big deal.

After reading the document, Bai Jinxuan turned her attention to the last, most horrifying ghost story.

Actually, she had wanted to open this file for a long time, but she was afraid of seeing ghost pictures on her face, so she didn't rush to open it. Now, she was ready.

Extend your slender left arm as far as possible, turn down the volume of your smart bracelet, and you're ready to turn it on!

A figure in black immediately popped up on the screen. She wore a hood, obscuring her face, and her eyes, like light bulbs, emitted an eerie and ominous red light.

"Heh heh heh..."

A dry, hoarse voice came from beneath the black robe, and in the shadows, red fangs slowly opened.

[Dungeon Blackie reminds you: Be careful online, don't take information seriously, or you'll be eaten alive by Blackie!]

Bai Jinxuan: "......"

It's hard to imagine that, after arriving at No. 1 High School, she would still be able to see herself in this way.

This picture was obviously photoshopped from a video Zhou Kai secretly filmed. At first glance, it looks quite scary, but once you think about how you are the person in it, the feeling of horror disappears.

She raised an eyebrow and sent a message to Tong Yishan.

[Bai Jinxuan: What is the fifth document?]

The other party replied very quickly, almost instantly.

[Xiao Tong: Didn't I already tell you? Just a reminder, the information on the campus forum isn't always true; it's a mixed bag.]

[Bai Jinxuan: What is a campus forum?]

[Little boy: ?]

[Xiao Tong: Go back to the homepage.]

Bai Jinxuan looked on her smart bracelet and found the homepage button on the bottom icon. She clicked on it and discovered that it was a large internal forum of the school where many students would post. The page that had just popped up was one of the prank posts.

This prank post

It's quite popular, with a series of recommendation posts alongside it, such as "Top 10 Most Terrifying Creatures in Dungeons," "Revealed! What exactly is the legendary Black Guy?" and "The Black Guy in Dungeons might be even more formidable than you imagine!"

Even so, Bai Jinxuan wasn't speechless. What truly bothered her was a post at the top of the recommended thread, ranked by popularity that day: "Bai Jinxuan, the mysterious transfer student from No. 5 Middle School, what exactly are her abilities?"

Next to it, there's an animation that's suddenly become incredibly popular.

The moment Bai Jinxuan saw this thing, she knew she was being exploited again.

There are quite a few Zhou Kai from No. 1 Middle School.

"I'd like to see what I'm capable of."

Suppressing her anger, she clicked on the most popular post, which immediately displayed a photo of herself riding a knight soaring through the sky.

She scrolled down twice, but couldn't scroll any further. The photo suddenly turned gray, and it showed that she needed to register and log in before she could continue browsing.

"Nima..."

There was no other way, so Bai Jinxuan had to register first. The rest of the process was relatively simple, but choosing a nickname was a bit of a struggle for her.

Using her real name online was definitely not an option, and the name she used before could be found on the black market to identify vendors, which was also problematic. After much deliberation, she finally chose the name "Murong Yao's Number One Fan".

As it turned out, the results showed that the ID had already been registered.

I just don't understand why they would even steal an ID like that. It's hard to imagine what kind of people are at No. 1 Middle School.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Jinxuan typed a few more words and changed her ID to "[Become the Light Guardian for Miss Murong Yao]".

Sure enough, it worked. After all, there's no Ultraman Tiga in this magical world, so naturally there's no such meme.

After successfully logging in, she didn't bother to change her profile picture and went straight to the posts to browse them carefully.

The entire above is nonsense. All the materials are copied from the media and other places, such as breaking records at the sports meet and the strength level of the lower district. In the end, the conclusion is that the person's strength is just average and that it would be the best if they could get into the top 100 in the weekly test.

According to him, the reason he was able to rank in the joint exam was because the venue in Xiacheng District was not standardized and the scoring was not rigorous, coupled with the Education Bureau lowering the difficulty level. He said that it would be far from enough to be considered in the weekly exam at No. 1 Middle School.

These few words made Bai Jinxuan laugh. No wonder Tong Yishan said that the forum was a mixed bag. This poster was just imagining things. He didn't even know her, but he kept talking like he knew everything.

What's even more absurd is that a group of comments below seem to agree with this statement, feeling that they have no real ability and only got into the school because of favorable timing, connections, and location. They think that let alone getting into the top 100, they would be honored if they could just stay in the school for six months without being kicked out.

"A bunch of idiots."

Bai Jinxuan didn't bother with it. In this world, the winner takes all. Doubts are meaningless; ability and academic credits are what truly matter. Obtaining the latter is what she should be doing.

Seeing that there was no other useful information, she closed the school forum and opened the school map instead.

The school is very large, and there are many places she hasn't been to yet, such as the industrial area, which she plans to visit during her lunch break.

There was a small factory there that the teacher had assigned her, which had not yet been put into use.

This small factory is, to some extent, an 'investment indicator' for students. At No. 1 High School, every student has the opportunity to cooperate with external companies and enterprises. For those companies, academic performance, magic power, and level are completely unimportant.

They are only concerned with how much money your project can make and whether it is worthwhile to cooperate.

Generally, those who participate in collaborations are liberal arts students, because they desperately need a market to launch the props and magic they create. Of course, some of these students have the help of family businesses, which makes things easier for them.
