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

"To cure illness."

Upon hearing this, Jia Ruolin was shocked and covered her mouth, unable to speak for a long time.

The little girl in front of me said she wanted to be cured, which means the magic weapon is now in her hands.

Shadow actually let her wander around outside alone with the artifact!

Could it be that she's actually very strong and powerful?! Even stronger than her sister?

Jia Ruolin felt that the situation was pretty much the same; the organization was probably more complex than she had imagined.

The fact that they obtained the divine artifact goes without saying; just look at the new city lord's action of executing most of the families upon taking office, and you'll know what that means.

The most terrifying thing is someone carrying around a magical artifact. Why? It shows confidence—confidence in Bai Xiaoye!

How terrifying must a fighting force be to support such confidence?

She thought about it and felt that she needed to have the fighting strength to rival an entire army, so that even if the new city lord discovered her now, she could fight her way out unscathed.

Are there really people that strong...?

It seems there is.

10th order.

Legend has it that the pinnacle of humanity, the guild...

The strong ones.

Absolute overwhelming strength, unparalleled combat experience, the creator of countless martial arts and magic techniques, the creator of the present world...

How could Shadow have such members? And what kind of being is its leader?

This is enough to overthrow the union...

Jia Ruolin was deeply shocked and dared not think about it any further.

She's just a scrap dealer; knowing more will only hasten her demise and won't bring her any positive effects.

Therefore, she stopped her thoughts in time and led Bai Xiaoye to her mother's room.

With the monthly salary of 10 yuan given to her by Miss Bai Qianye, she took her mother away from the slum and found a decent, secluded little house in the lower city.

Because it's so remote, there are plenty of large rooms and spaces, making it a very comfortable place to stay.

As Jia Ruolin slowly opened the door and was about to turn on the light, her hand was halfway out when it was suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a little girl's voice came from behind: "No need to turn on the light."

"Oh......"

Although the room was dark, it was much brighter than the wooden shacks in the slums. Not only could you see the outlines of objects, but you could also see the little girl's red eyes.

To be honest, it was strange; her face was blurry in the darkness, but her eyes, which emitted a scarlet light, were particularly clear in the dark.

In my confusion, the word "10th level" came to mind.

Well, if someone is a level 10 expert, it's quite normal for them to have some special abilities.

While Jia Ruolin was thinking, Bai Jinxuan had already come to Jia's mother's bedside.

Grandmother Jia was sleeping soundly and showed no reaction at all. If Bai Jinxuan hadn't noticed the movement of the blankets, she probably would have thought it was a corpse.

Her skin was sallow and wrinkled like tree bark, and the whole room smelled of earth.

That's the smell of the dead.

If things continue like this, I'll surely die within six months.

Bai Jinxuan took a deep breath. It was only a little past noon, but the dimly lit room felt like midnight.

She took out a healing amulet from under her cloak, stuck it in her palm, and then pressed it onto Grandmother Jia's arm.

The dazzling light spread out in all directions from her palm.

Grandmother Jia's complexion visibly improved, and after a second examination, the crystals had disappeared.

Seeing this, Bai Jinxuan clenched the healing talisman and put it away.

"All right."

"This...this is it?"

Jia Ruolin was somewhat surprised. She saw the little girl touch her mother's hand, and then, like taking a picture with a mobile phone, flash it briefly. After the flash, she said that the disease was cured.

Throughout the entire process, she didn't see how it was cured. Although she knew that Bai Xiaoye wouldn't be a charlatan who would deceive people with such a method, she still couldn't imagine that treating Oripathy was so simple.

"Yes, alright, you can try waking her up. The healing from the artifact is absolute. It even heals her fatigue now, so she doesn't need to sleep anymore."

"I see."

After hearing Bai Xiaoye's words, Jia Ruolin nodded and went to her mother's bedside.

Things had developed in a way that was completely unexpected, and she could only continue down this path.

However, to her own surprise, she felt very calm at that moment.

Perhaps she knew that being upset was useless, or perhaps she had experienced too much, in any case, she looked at her mother's face, which seemed to have become much younger and prettier, and her eyes revealed a trace of tenderness.

She reached out, placed her hand on her mother's shoulder, and shook her.

"Mom, wake up."

There was no response from the other side; they seemed to be fast asleep.

Normally, she would wake up at the slightest noise.

Jia Ruolin had no choice but to increase the pressure on her hands.

"Mom, wake up!"

This time, Mother woke up.

She looked at herself blankly, sat up, and rubbed her eyes.

They move very quickly and don't need any help from others.

No testing is needed at all; you can tell at a glance whether the disease has been cured or not.

That healthy demeanor was absolutely genuine.

"Hey? Lin'er, is it time to take your medicine?"

The mother didn't notice that she had already sat up on her own and was still asking her about taking the medicine.

Jia Ruolin found his silly look somewhat amusing.

Where do I need to take medicine?

No more medication is needed, never again.

She lunged forward, embracing her mother like a child, nuzzling her cheek against her neck, feeling the beating pulse.

So warm.

Jia Ruolin had only one thought in her mind.

In fact, she had already despaired when the spider web was exposed. It was her only hope. Without the identity of the little spider web manager, she could hardly protect herself, let alone earn money to buy medicine to prolong her mother's life.

Therefore, when her mother said she would drag herself into the abyss, she agreed.

She's not stupid; she knows her situation.

Even so, she chose to persist with treatment because she felt it didn't matter if she was dragged into the abyss.

This was her little secret, a secret she couldn't tell her mother.

—If her mother dies, she has no hope of living.

On the day her mother knelt and begged her to leave, Jia Ruolin vowed in her heart that she would live and die with her mother.

If you ask why, it's because her mother never abandoned her, so she will never abandon her mother.

Fortunately, everything got better. Fortunately, on that day, I mustered up the courage to speak to Miss Shirae Chiba...

Jia Ruolin clutched her mother's clothes until they were crumpled, tears streaming down her cheeks. All the words she wanted to say were condensed into a single sentence the moment they reached her throat.

"Mom, I love you."

Grandmother Jia paused for a moment, then smiled and stroked her daughter's head.

"I love you too, Lin'er."

Seeing the mother and daughter embracing and moved to tears, Bai Jinxuan felt that perhaps she had come at the wrong time.

If Yao Yao were around, she would hug Yao Yao tightly and then tease her while she talked about missing her mother.

Unfortunately, Yao Yao wasn't there; she went to study Mewtwo.

Bai Jinxuan looked at Jia Ruolin tenderly and disappeared through the door.

I'll send the work-related information to Jia Ruolin later. Both she and I need some quiet time right now.

Volume 1: Chapter 130: The Girl from the Witch Merchant Guild

About twenty minutes after healing Grandmother Jia, Jia Ruolin sent a message saying she had a plan.

In general, she has some connections and can organize people. Not to mention something as far-reaching as a chamber of commerce, she can just keep people engaged and start with small businesses.

After all, with the current wave of unemployment, if we are even slightly late, those employees who have left large companies will be poached by other companies.

Many people are currently rushing to start new projects, hoping to take over these vacant opportunities.

Therefore, Jia Ruolin has several important questions concerning the central planning of their chamber of commerce.

First: the name of the chamber of commerce. We can't just go around saying they are the Shadow, can we?

Second: In the early stages of the chamber of commerce's direction and business, she needs to recruit talent in relevant fields.

Third: The amount of resources that Shadow can provide, and the resources it can provide sustainably.

source.

When she asked those three questions, Bai Jinxuan knew that she had found the right person: Jia Ruolin.

Although she was aware of these matters, she found it difficult to list them out and express them to others in such a simple and intuitive way; this was a lack of ability.

She only knows how to set up a stall; she really has no experience as a business owner.

Bai Jinxuan explained one by one that she had already thought of a name: Witch Merchant Guild. Her focus and business would be on potions and magic crystals, which were the only two items she could produce on her own.

The potions are produced in a small factory in the school, while the magic crystals are mined underground by Zhou Kai.

Since she also needed to use the magic crystals for medicinal baths, she gave some instructions, saying that the magic crystals were secondary and the main business was potions. She also gave information about an exclusive potion—a volatile potion.

To be precise, it is the volatile component separated from the plant predator. It has no practical function; it simply evaporates quickly upon contact with air. However, this characteristic causes other chemical components mixed with it to also evaporate.

In other words, a potion meant for single use can be transformed into one meant for multiple uses. Those old guys at the auction were driven completely insane by this combination of volatile potion and berserk potion.

Of course, this might have attracted the attention of the guild. Selling volatile potions separately could cause trouble, so Bai Jinxuan subdivided the business and mainly sold three types: volatile life potions, volatile mana potions, and volatile strength potions.

This group effect alone is enough to make it a hot commodity for exploration teams below dungeon level 5.

As for resources, Bai Jinxuan gave the figure of one thousand bottles of various medicines per week.

Honestly, given her previous collection efficiency, it would have been exhausting to obtain enough volatile reagent to distribute across three thousand bottles.

Fortunately, Bai Jinxuan had a new method. This enhanced potion wasn't for her, so why make it so good?

The iron concentration should definitely be diluted 1:100. It would be great if it could be mixed with other groups. It looks like 3,000 bottles, but it's actually only 30 bottles!

As for the medicine itself, she can make it if she can, or just buy it if she can't. Bai Jinxuan has the money for this kind of procurement. Anyway, she can just process it a bit more and sell it for double the price!

She thought the price should be 1,000 yuan per bottle, but how much to raise the price when selling it would depend on Jia Ruolin's abilities.

Having worked together for so long, Bai Jinxuan felt she could still trust her professional abilities.

Anyway, it won't sell for less than a thousand.

After discussing these matters, Jia Ruolin asked one last question.

"The Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce also wants to enter the pharmaceutical industry. What attitude should I maintain?"

After seeing the blatant advertisement for medicine from the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce on Jia Ruolin's phone, Bai Jinxuan replied viciously in Bai Xiaoye's voice: "Go all out. Use this when you're in danger, and Shadow will receive the signal."
