Nianyang soaked in the hot spring all night, feeling even more refreshed, and her skin was so soft it seemed like it could be pinched to release water.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but it seemed like her chest was slightly more pronounced. This hot spring was amazing—not only could it enhance physical health, but there seemed to be a sense of renewed growth. If she continued soaking a few more times, wouldn’t she become overwhelmingly voluptuous???
*Cough...*
She looked in the mirror and noticed her complexion was a bit fairer, looking so fresh and lively, she already had the makings of a beauty.
In a great mood.
As night fell, Nianyang made an excuse about visiting the Jiang Family and left the house, but in fact, she planned to visit the town’s underground black market.
In the memories left by the original owner, the existence of the black market during this era was unofficial and illegal, used by people for private buying and selling transactions, not known to everyone, yet very bustling.
To quickly earn the first pot of gold without being discovered, this place was Nianyang’s best choice.
Nianyang calculated with her fingers, and soon a respiratory infection-triggered H1N1 infectious flu outbreak would occur in this town.
The afflicted people were tormented by high fevers, accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea. These symptoms caused them to cough up mucus, cough blood, suffer chest pain, varying degrees of chest tightness or difficulty breathing; severely, it progressed to full-body soreness, leading to widespread ulcers, and even endangered lives for some, causing many to suffer greatly.
Currently, Nianyang had nothing but a visually assessable but unusable Medical Space on her, and the only way to make money was her exceptional medical skills.
Of course, given the current situation, it was impossible for her to openly cure illnesses and make money, so Nianyang decided to find a reputable drugstore and sell the cure for this flu virus. This way, she could do a good deed and earn money!
A win-win situation~
★
To avoid drawing attention, Nianyang specially chose a rugged mountain road with no traffic. Once she arrived in town, she followed Tuanzi’s directions to the underground black market’s location.
Oh, forgot to mention, although Tuanzi has been guarding the space for many years, she had a lot of wisdom stuffed in her little head, knowledgeable in everything from astronomy to geography, equivalent to an encyclopedia from the future.
Soon, Nianyang reached the entrance of the black market, located in a long passage behind an inconspicuous bun shop. Nianyang walked in low-key, and after a few turns in the dim passageway, she seemed to enter another world.
The expansive underground black market was like a shopping mall from the future, grand and bustling.
Amidst the bustling crowd, small groups formed their own factions everywhere.
The people who came here were either doing business, selling goods, or even gambling. Basically, all kinds of people existed here, and Nianyang’s arrival didn’t draw any attention from others.
The black market housed various formal stores as well as many different stalls. People engaged in buying and selling here, not necessarily only using money; bartering goods or exchanging grain was also possible.
However, Nianyang’s goal today was solely to sell the medical formula!
She had already asked Tuanzi; there was a famous pharmacy in the black market called Baishan Hall, and its owner had come to open a branch from Pingjing.
Nianyang chose this pharmacy because the H1N1 flu virus was originally spread from Pingjing.
It was estimated that quite a few people were already infected in Pingjing now, so bringing the formula to negotiate would definitely catch the owner’s attention!
"Excuse me, brother, could you tell me how to get to ’Baishan Hall’?"
Although she had Tuanzi, a virtual encyclopedia, by her side, since the black market was large and the terrain was convoluted.
Tuanzi could at most know the main areas but not the exact addresses, so Nianyang had no choice but to ask a passerby for help.

Ps: Regarding the black market joke, it doesn’t match the real historical black market situation, don’t criticize my lack of cultural knowledge, it was just adapted for the plot’s sake~
