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

These days, it's not just about academic credits; the financial expenses are also quite high. She needs to earn some money and, incidentally, intensify her daily training.

For example, the newly learned martial art, Cloud Piercing Kick, is perfect for practicing on predatory plants.

After returning to her dormitory, she placed the smart bracelet in the living room, then took the snow rabbit headband off the bedroom wall and brought it into the bathroom.

Because the Arrogance Magic Circle was activated, the rate of magic absorption increased significantly, so Bai Jinxuan even had time to take a medicinal bath before setting off.

More than 100,000, gone in the blink of an eye.

After getting out of the bathtub, Bai Jinxuan's savings were down to only a few million, a sum that was practically in jeopardy.

If she buys more magic crystals, she'll become penniless.

Although the more expensive magic crystals with greater magic concentration are generally more cost-effective, and buying them at a fixed price like Bai Jinxuan would be more profitable than buying low-concentration bulk magic crystals, her high demand still makes up for it.

With the power of arrogance, her body became like a black hole, absorbing all the magic in the pool in just a few moments.

At this rate, the price of a single bath will soon exceed 20, and sometimes she takes three baths a day, spending countless magic crystals daily.

It would cost 60 yuan, and the weekly expenses would be around 400 million yuan.

Let alone a month, if she doesn't make money quickly, she'll go bankrupt in two weeks.

This is what science students are like—purely piling up resources. I ask the dean of students at No. 5 Middle School, how many medicines does Brother Hu have to sell to earn so much money?

To be able to reach Tier 4 in the Lower City, even with frugality, Zhang Hu is truly a genius.

As for myself...

Bai Jinxuan smiled. Although others said she was incredibly talented and extraordinary, only she knew that her achievements today were entirely due to the resources she had accumulated.

For example, other science students, without initiating binge eating, can only consume a maximum of about 10 yuan worth of nutritional meals a day, and the conversion efficiency during absorption is far lower than that of medicinal baths.

Even if they activate Gluttony and Sloth, eating and sleeping excessively, and digesting frantically, their upper limit is only slightly higher than Bai Jinxuan's Pride, because for their level, there is only so much magic power they can absorb each day, and this has already reached the critical value.

No matter how fast you go, you can't go much faster. It's an exponential process. At the beginning, everyone's speed is about the same. The real difficulty is being able to continuously increase at this critical value.

This is definitely a heavy burden for Bai Jinxuan's financial situation.

We have to make money! Make a lot of money!

After changing into a dry school uniform, Bai Jinxuan put on her equipment one by one. It is worth mentioning that the little leather shoes of the school uniform clashed with the Dark Walker. She did not want to give up the Arrogance Magic Circle on the leather shoes, so she tried to directly drive the shadow to cover the leather shoes.

It actually worked!

The Nightwalker seems to have become more active after acquiring shadow energy, like a pool of black mud that can transform between liquid and solid at any time, which is extremely convenient.

This is also reflected in the Shadowless Cloak. In the past, it was just a simple cloak, but now Bai Jinxuan has discovered that she can control it like she controls the Night Walker, which allows her to disguise herself even in non-human forms.

If you crouch down and block out the view, all you see is a dark silhouette of a rabbit.

He lay down and transformed back into a black wolf.

Standing up again, waving its arms, the eagle began to spread its wings.

It's quite fun.

Once you've mastered this skill, you'll basically be able to fully integrate into the Shadow Fiend family.

She put on a headband, pulled the hood over her head, and with a light step, disappeared into the shadows.

The landing point is the second level of the underground city.

However, this time, Bai Jinxuan had no intention of using weapons. In the entire dungeon, who was more suitable as a practice target for Cloud Piercing Kick than a carnivorous plant?

This is a return to basics. While others gradually progress from unarmed to using weapons, she bans weapons herself and starts practicing hand-to-hand combat in the dungeon.

To be fair, the Snow Rabbit Headband provides a significant boost, greatly increasing the power of her Cloud Piercing Kick.

With a single kick, the giant flower was sent flying dozens of meters, crashing heavily into the rock wall.

Bai Jinxuan felt like a berserker without weapons. She chased after the Rafflesia and punched it, killing the dying plant instantly. However, dissecting it was too troublesome, and she had no intention of making handmade flower pills. In the end, she took out her telekinetic sword after a long time and used it like a kitchen knife.

She won her first battle, proving her fighting ability was quite good. Moreover, this kind of brutal, hand-to-hand combat style could improve her physical fitness even faster.

This is far more useful than a training room.

After collecting the corpses of the Rafflesia, she went to the forest leading to the fifth-level portal.

In fact, if she wanted to go to the fifth floor of the dungeon, she could just teleport directly. For her, there was no need to waste time on the same tedious route anymore.

That being said, Bai Jinxuan still vividly remembered those vines from before.

They are much stronger than those common predatory plants, and there are many of them, so it's a good opportunity to give them a challenge.

The girl punched away the vines blocking her path and swaggered forward.

Upon detecting the intruder, all the vines instantly became alert, and then, tree spirits sprouted from them.

Seeing that she was surrounded, Bai Jinxuan made a quick decision, leaped up, and darted between the trees.

For her, it was simply a change from wielding a knife to throwing a punch; the lethality was slightly reduced, but her mobility remained intact.

With just these few slow-moving vines, catching her is simply a pipe dream.

She kicked off the tree trunk, dodging the attack from the tips of the vines, and then, stepping onto the vines, launched three rapid dodges in quick succession, appearing in front of the tree demon.

The tree spirit was covered in withered vines, and judging by its body shape, it resembled a woman, with breasts larger than its own.

Unfortunately, the next second, Bai Jinxuan kicked it with her calf, breaking it in half. Wood chips flew everywhere, and a brown tree seed burst out.

That thing doesn't look harmful, and it's highly unlikely that it will cause you to get completely wrapped up if you touch it.

So, Bai Jinxuan reached out and squeezed it in her palm.

It feels soft to the touch and looks a bit like a magic pill, but the magic pill is made by the Undying Secret Society by combining various predatory plants, so it is obviously very different from this tree species.

"It doesn't seem to be of much use."

She applied slight pressure with her fingers, squeezing the seed to crack it open, wanting to see its internal structure. To her surprise, the moment the seed split open, a large amount of smoke hissed and spread out.

Bai Jinxuan immediately realized what was happening, held her breath, and disappeared into the shadows.

Even so, she still inhaled some air.

"Cough cough... What is this thing...?"

Looking at the smoke that completely covered the surroundings, she frowned. Clearly, this thing was not as simple as she had imagined.

Soon, the vines infected by the smoke thrived and began to grow rapidly, along with the tree spirits, which also grew stronger and spread everywhere.

This situation made Bai Jinxuan realize what was happening.

The smoke inside the tree seems to be some kind of nutrient, allowing the tree spirit and vines to grow rapidly.

Now she will be facing a level 2 tree spirit.

"What a coincidence! I was just worried that you guys were too weak, making it no fun to fight you!"

Bai Jinxuan rubbed her hands together, took out a mask from her treasure box. This was the mask she used to protect herself from the suffocating perfume smell of the red-light district, but it came in handy here.

Leaping out of the shadows, she flipped over and jumped down from the vines.

In this dense forest, she can use her jumping ability to move quickly. Even though the tree demon has reached level 2, she can still take it down with one punch after another.

The seeds that the tree spirits produce after they have grown are even larger, and it is estimated that they can enable the other tree spirits to grow again.

"This is great! It's a smoke bomb, and it also enhances plant growth. I no longer have to worry about predatory plants being too weak and vulnerable!"

With a flick of his finger, the tree seed was automatically stored in the treasure chest. Then, dodging the vines stabbing from behind, he kicked the tree spirit on the right in the head...

Half an hour later, Bai Jinxuan looked at the vines around her that had been completely pulled out and smiled slightly.

With these tree spirits as sparring partners, she became quite proficient at the Cloud Piercing Kick. Although she couldn't yet perform it as quickly as Teacher Long, she had already grasped the basic form.

Next, she plans to confront the Evil Heavenly Tree.

It's important to know that the Evil Heaven Tree possesses physical resistance, making it quite difficult to kill it using martial arts alone.

　However, for someone like Bai Jinxuan, who is comparable to a level 3 expert, it's not impossible to give it a try.

If you bypass its tentacles and kick its main body twice, even the Evil Heaven Tree can be kicked in two.

Soon, in this forest full of vines, Bai Jinxuan found a huge Evil Heaven Tree.

A complete Evil Heaven Tree can make several bottles of sex-changing potions, which are much more profitable than life potions. Coincidentally, the madams in the red-light district have been asking about stock recently, so she can get some fresh ones and sell them all over the red-light district at once.

For those low-level rich people, sex reassignment is as common as eating and drinking. If they want a change of pace, they can just drink a sex-changing drug and have some fun. At worst, they can just drink another bottle to change back when they come out.

Since the rank is already locked, it's rank 2 for life, so you can drink as much as you want.

Bai Jinxuan had already made up her mind: first, she would kill about ten Evil Heaven Trees and earn a few million.

And the rather large Evil Heaven Tree in front of her will be the first lucky one to die at her feet today.

She didn't even need to use Shadow Step; her legs moved swiftly, weaving through the gaps between the countless tentacles with unstoppable force.

Seeing this, Xie Tianshu visibly began to panic, arranging a large number of tentacles on its sides to protect itself, no longer easily launching attacks on Bai Jinxuan, and looking like it was going to play the role of a turtle.

But this also allowed Bai Jinxuan to come to it without any hindrance.

The so-called martial virtue refers to the selective possession one has when fighting fairly and squarely. Since this Evil Heaven Tree has chosen to bury its head in the sand and start a three-dimensional defense, Bai Jinxuan, who is in a hurry to kill the next Evil Heaven Tree, doesn't need to be polite to it.

He took two bottles of incendiary potion from the treasure chest and threw them onto the tree trunk.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of glass shattering signaled the start of intense heating.

Xie Tianshu, who thought he could stop Bai Jinxuan's attack, never expected that this explorer would also use fire. As the flames on his body grew larger and larger, the intense pain made him focus all his energy on putting out the fire.

The fruit on the tree began to sway with its movements, and humming sounds of all sizes rose and fell.

It has to be said that this Evil Sky Tree has captured quite a few explorers, and I reckon it can drop a lot of potions.

Bai Jinxuan bent her legs slightly, covered her whole body with her strength, and sank her toes into the ground. Then she suddenly leaped up and punched the trunk of the Evil Heaven Tree.

"boom--!"

A powerful shockwave spread outwards, causing the Evil Heaven Tree to sway and tilt.

Seeing that she was still a bit short of strength, Bai Jinxuan turned around and 'shot' again, this time hitting the boxer's spot.

The already precarious Evil Heaven Tree could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

That wasn't all. Bai Jinxuan stepped onto the tree trunk and started running. When she reached the canopy, Gan Jiang and Mo Xie stabbed at an unusually large tentacle in the middle.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss—!!!"

As Bai Jinxuan stabbed him, Xie Tianshu began to struggle violently. His extremely painful howls seemed to be crying out that he had lost something, and they were exceptionally shrill.

Bai Jinxuan ignored the Evil Heaven Tree. When the twin blades pierced the tentacle, a large amount of pink juice gushed out.

Without hesitation, she immediately took out the bucket, aimed it at the knife handle, and began to collect the medicine!

At this moment, Xie Tianshu seemed to realize that his life was in imminent danger, and began to fight back with all his might. Countless tentacles spiraled upwards, trying to skewer Bai Jinxuan like barbecue.

The half-bucket of juice that had been painstakingly collected almost spilled all over the ground when it tried to get up.

Seeing its ungrateful attitude, Bai Jinxuan couldn't stand it anymore and punched the tree trunk at her feet. Spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly from the point of impact, and wood chips fell like a rainstorm.

The Evil Heaven Tree, which had just used its tentacles to push its body into a small arc, sank deep into the mud again.

Immediately afterwards, she took out her telekinetic sword, transformed into a woodpecker, and with a series of smooth mini-moves, turned the trunk of the Evil Heaven Tree into a honeycomb. With a final kick, it instantly separated into two halves.

The Evil Heaven Tree died and never moved again.

Now, I can finally receive the medicine properly.

One bucket, two buckets, three buckets... When the fifth bucket was more than half full, the knife handle stopped dripping altogether.

"At least let me finish filling this bucket! It's almost empty, damn it!"

She cursed under her breath, used telekinesis to retrieve Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, shook off the potion, then stabbed the corpse of the Evil Heaven Tree a few more times to wipe away the remaining sap, and finally packed it, along with the five buckets of sex-changing potion concentrate, into the treasure chest.

Preliminary calculations indicate that this amount can be concentrated into about twenty bottles of denaturing agent.

Make a killing of 200 million!

Volume 1: Chapter 99: The Girl Who Wasn't a Good Person

"You have entered the city of the underworld... You have a new outsourced order for the dead group, please process it in time."

Hearing the announcement on her phone, Bai Jinxuan scrolled through it listlessly.
