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

Seeing this, Murong Yao paused for a moment, reached out and grasped the activation lever, connected the magic circuit, and pulled it all the way down in one go.

"Shh-!"

The ship is like a beam of light shooting into the sky.

Bai Jinxuan bumped the back of her head.

A large lump grew on the chair.

"Ouch, that hurts!" The pain immediately snapped her back to attention, and she cried out, "Yaoyao...aren't all hovercrafts supposed to have cushioning devices? Where's yours?!"

“It’s been demolished.”

"Huh??? Why did you take apart the buffer device for no reason! To experience the most primitive acceleration feeling, is that it? Slow down, slow down, slow down, we're going to crash—!"

With a quick pull of her little hand, Yao Yao turned the car around and performed a 120° drift in the air.

Wildness inspires fear.

Bai Jinxuan never dreamed that Yao Yao would drive so fiercely. You know, she is a master of time management, rushing to various places every day, and is a top-notch driver in the school.

Compared to Yao Yao, it was truly a case of a small fry compared to a big fish.

This is a true rampaging knight; with one drift, he ended up with three bumps on his head.

It's hard to imagine how Yao Yao usually drives.

While holding onto Murong Yao's waist, she tried to balance herself to prevent herself from being thrown against the cabin door and unable to pry herself off.

After three minutes of this, the ship finally came to a stop.

As soon as the hatch opened, Bai Jinxuan felt dizzy and disoriented, her eyes spinning like mosquito coils. She could only rely on her body's subconscious senses to shakily touch the door and land.

The moment she stepped onto the ground, her stomach churned violently, causing her face to turn green. She covered her mouth and began to forcefully circulate her qi, trying to reorganize the chaotic energy within her body and steady her breathing.

Having spent so long navigating the black market and underground cities, my most painful experience was actually falling victim to Yao Yao. That woman is truly terrifying!

Ten minutes later, with the help of regulating her breathing, Bai Jinxuan's body finally calmed down.

She took two deep breaths, bringing this long ordeal to an end.

"Haha... I didn't expect you to get carsick, Xiaoxuan..."

Before Murong Yao could finish speaking, Bai Jinxuan interrupted, "You call this motion sickness? Anyone would get carsick driving like that... Seriously, if I were weaker, I would have died in your car!"

"That's too exaggerated." Murong Yao wiped away her cold sweat.

However, Bai Jinxuan was not joking; when she first disembarked from the ship, she genuinely thought she was going to die.

Yao Yao is trying to murder me! I'll remember that! Humph!

After venting her frustrations, she looked around and noticed that many buildings in the distance were making loud mechanical noises, which must be the industrial area of ​​No. 2 Middle School.

Unfortunately, compared to No. 1 Middle School, it is still too small in scale; it is truly a clumsy imitation of No. 1 Middle School.

Bai Jinxuan patted the hem of her skirt and said frankly, "Let's not delay, let me go see your Mewtwo."

"Hmm, that's exactly what I was going to do... Come on, this way."

Murong Yao pointed in a direction.

-----------------------

After a while, in a small 'warehouse' even more rudimentary than Bai Jinxuan's factory at No. 1 Middle School, Bai Jinxuan stared blankly at the stacked rectangular boxes.

Where's Mewtwo?

"It's right there."

Murong Yao took a long box from the shelf and handed it over.

It is entirely black, and upon touching it, you can immediately feel the magical circuits inside trying to connect with you.

However, Bai Jinxuan did not respond immediately. She continued to ask, "This is Mewtwo...? Shall I connect and try it now?"

"Actually, I created different versions of Mewtwo, which is more beginner-friendly. If you want to switch, you can try other ones."

"Then this is it."

Since I know absolutely nothing about Mewtwo, and Yao Yao recommended this, I naturally had to take a look.

It just looks rather rudimentary on the outside...

Bai Jinxuan stopped interrupting the magic circuit and instead began to actively connect to Mewtwo.

Soon, everything went dark, and he found himself on a deserted island.

To be precise, it's the phantom of an isolated island.

This isn't teleportation; you still have your own physical senses. It feels like playing a VR game with headphones on, which is quite different from a magic picture book.

The Magic Picture Book feature is fully immersive, but there's a pop-up window that shows your real-world view. When you don't want to read the picture book anymore, you can simply disconnect and return to reality.

After learning about Mewtwo's basic information, Bai Jinxuan found a chair, sat down, and quietly experienced the world of Mewtwo.

In the dream world, I am a deer, possessing all the senses of a deer.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this is actually an illusion transmitted through magical circuits, not a real sensory experience; it is simply a deception of the brain.

"Xiaoxuan, how are you feeling?"

Yao Yao's voice came from the side. Looking in the direction of the voice, they found that Yao Yao had also turned into a deer and was walking over.

"Huh? Is your voice coming from reality, or from Mewtwo?"

"To be precise, they are all... Xiaoxuan, you really are... You're already in Mewtwo, why are you still paying attention to these things? Look at the scenery and appreciate the beautiful view!"

"So, is Mewtwo just for enjoying the scenery and cultivating one's mind?"

"Hmm...you could say that..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxuan sniffed the flowers, walked around, and after figuring out the principles of Mewtwo, she quickly felt tired.

Although Yao Yao's work was exquisite, for some reason, Bai Jinxuan could always sense the artificiality.

She knew, of course, that it was all fake, but while she was enjoying it, the fake sensation felt like a thorn stuck in her throat, making her very uncomfortable.

So after walking for a while, she disconnected and exited Mewtwo.

"A very exquisite Mewtwo, very beautiful."

She smiled and praised him, but Murong Yao thought it was just a polite remark, because in her opinion, Bai Jinxuan was not happy.

This was a significant blow to her as a creator.

"Xiaoxuan, do you not like this Mewtwo? Or do you dislike Mewtwo itself...? I feel like you're not in a good mood."

Seeing that she looked dejected, Bai Jinxuan shook her head.

"No, it's my problem. I can feel how much effort you put into creating these scenes, but precisely because of that, I can't enjoy Mewtwo from a viewer's perspective... Maybe I'm being too sensitive..."

Bai Jinxuan explained with a wry smile.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door, and the two of them turned their gazes toward the doorway.

A girl with light, graceful steps walked in: "Murong Yao—?"

"I'm here."

Upon hearing the sound, the girl walked over and looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“Who is…?”

"A friend of mine."

After Yao Yao finished speaking, she began to introduce herself: "This is the partner I mentioned directly."

Bai Jinxuan stared for a while, and upon hearing this, she suddenly understood.

"Zhang Li from Qiangjian Technology... um...?"

"It's Zhang Mengli..."

Murong Yao rubbed her forehead in embarrassment.

Volume 1: Chapter 144: The Girl Who Likes to Preach

Health Technology.

Actually, Bai Jinxuan had already remembered the company when she heard that it was sponsoring Yao Yao.

Now that I've seen the person in question, memories of it naturally flood my mind.

First of all, it is a pharmaceutical company, a competitor of Witch's Apothecary.

When it first came into my view, it was as a pharmaceutical company. At that time, I was still in No. 5 Middle School, and there were many medicines sold around me. Most of the medicines came from Qiangjian Technology.

In my memory, in the pharmaceutical industry, Qiangjian Technology is not only a leader, but also one of the top companies.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been targeted by the Undead Secret Society.

Yes, afterwards, my impression of it was the attack on the Potions Capital on the second level of the dungeon, and the Fifth Middle School Sports Meet. As investors, Qiangjian Technology and Longchuan Sterilization were quite the talk of the town.

However, in terms of results, Qiangjian Technology eliminated Longchuan Sterilization and even swallowed up that part of the market, which made it larger and more rapidly developed.

After that, I went to No. 1 Middle School and basically had no contact with Qiangjian Technology.

The only one I remember was at the auction.

They were also present and even sold a herb, something that could accelerate the cultivation of low-level explorers, which was eventually acquired by the Golden Dragon Merchant Guild.

Thinking of this, Bai Jinxuan felt a little angry. The Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce was able to buy such treasures, wasn't it just because they were using her mysterious identity to their advantage?

If you really let them go by themselves, they'll buy one without saying a word.

She pressed down the brim of her sun hat, and beneath her silver hair, her sharp gaze fell on Zhang Mengli.

"You're Yao Yao's business partner?"

Sensing her overt wariness, Zhang Mengli smiled, placed four fingers on her chest, and nodded, saying, "Yes, my name is Zhang Mengli. I've heard about you from Murong before, and meeting you today, you are indeed a very unique person."

Very unique? Are you subtly criticizing me?

Bai Jinxuan was somewhat dissatisfied, but because Yao Yao was present, she couldn't say anything to her face. So she looked away and said calmly, "My name is Bai Jinxuan. What do you need Yao Yao for?"

Reminded by her, Zhang Mengli realized what was happening and quickly said to Murong Yao, "Classmate Murong, could you please help me test my newly developed medicinal powder?"

"OK......"

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Jinxuan suddenly grabbed Murong Yao's hand and pulled her aside.

"Why are you doing this as free labor? Didn't you say we were going shopping later?"

"It's on my way, Zhang Mengli has helped me a lot, I can't be ungrateful... Xiaoxuan, please keep me company for a little while..."

Bai Jinxuan: "......"

Having said that, Bai Jinxuan sighed and agreed.

It's a rare treat to come to No. 2 Middle School and enjoy myself, and now I've gotten to soak in the hot springs.

Zhang Mengli, you deserve to die.

And Yao Yao, you deserve to die too! How dare you act cute towards me? Just wait until I win the competition, then I'll let you act cute to your heart's content!

And so, the three of them lined up and headed toward the parking lot.

During this time, Murong Yao and Zhang Mengli kept discussing the medicinal powder. In summary, they discovered a high-quality, cost-effective medicinal powder and were trying to launch it on the market, with the profits to be split 50/50.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxuan thought, "Isn't this just Rafflesia digestive powder? Why do I need to test it?"

But then she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have had contact with Zhang Mengli before, and that she had bought the medicine powder from her in the first place.

Goodness, after hiding it for so long, are you finally going to bring it out and open up the market?

Now the Witch's Apothecary has another competitor.

With the idea of ​​infiltrating the enemy camp in mind, she interjected, "The powder you're talking about seems really potent. Can I try it?"

“We are still in the testing phase... Using it rashly could cause problems. Although I tried to sell some before, I was ultimately unable to gather any information.”

Zhang Mengli's explanation stunned Bai Jinxuan. "Okay, okay, so that's why this young lady of a corporation was running around the black market. Turns out she was using people as test subjects!"

"Aren't you afraid of poisoning people?"
