A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 1] Chapter 63

[Vol. 1] Chapter 63: Really Troublesome

The system rewards have long been distributed.

It was supposed to be a comprehensive encyclopedia of plants, and Ifia initially thought it would be a book. However, in reality, it activated another function of the system.

Identifying plants.

Although the system could serve as a map guide and a cheating tool for exams, when it came to other matters, it simply said, ‘insufficient permissions’… Otherwise, Ifia would have taken the system to the market, bought ancient and rare items, and made a profit.

However, as Ifia had already given up hope for the system, she was quite content.

During this time, she had been working as a model in the art studio and hadn’t had the chance to try out the system’s new functions.

Now that she had some time, Ifia thought she could try to make some money.

With a goal in mind, time seemed to pass too slowly for Ifia. In her anticipation, the bell for the end of noon school rang, and she was ready to set off!

This time, with the intention of making money, there was no need to buy expensive ingredients, as long as the quality of the vegetable ingredients was acceptable, Ifia planned to go to the ordinary streets rather than Clifton Street.

Also, she wanted to replenish the depleted medicinal herbs at the black clinic.

So, rejecting Jessica’s enthusiastic proposal to go together, Ifia waved her hand in the face of Jessica’s dissatisfied gaze, went back to her dormitory for a quick change, and then headed quickly towards her destination.

As for why she wasn’t afraid of the disappearance case in Dalwa City?

Apart from already wearing men’s clothing, the system, despite its shortcomings, had some redeeming features, such as an early warning function.

If there was danger, she would run!

After the test of being chased by a burly man near the black clinic, Ifia was confident that she wouldn’t be easily caught.

“Oh, Jack, long time no see! You’re still as cute as ever!”

In the black clinic, Ifia handed money to the doctor and received the goods. After she satisfiedly put the bottle into her pocket, the middle-aged doctor with a full beard smiled and greeted Ifia.

Then, with a sly wink, he teased, “Lilith has been pestering me about you. Your praise last time excited her for several days. She always tells us how nice you are and how much she wants to see you again.”

Mentioning Lilith, Ifia couldn’t help but curl her lips and suddenly felt a pain in her legs.

The burly man she encountered at the black clinic last time had Lilith as his girlfriend.

Regarding this matter, Ifia also felt that she was unfairly treated. At that time, she only thought Lilith’s silver-gray hair was very beautiful and reminded her of Amelia, so she complimented her.

As a result, the burly man got jealous, and it was really troublesome.

“McFadden, don’t tease me.”

“It’s true. Lilith has always liked beautiful things since she was a child. I think she has taken a liking to you. Recently, she’s been looking for opportunities to break up with poor John.”

“……”

Then, listening to Dr. McFadden’s words, Ifia widened her eyes in shock.

She felt that now, it’s best to leave quickly!

“Hey, McFadden, don’t mention me to your daughter. I have to go.”

Damn, this is an undeserved disaster!

If she doesn’t leave now, encountering the burly man John would be bad!

After saying that, without waiting for the doctor to say anything to keep her, Ifia quickly slipped away.

When she left the black clinic and arrived at Roseanne Street, Ifia breathed a sigh of relief. She was safe now!

Unlike Clifton Street, which caters to the nobility, Roseanne Street is a street of joy for the common people.

Compared to the expensive ingredients favored by the nobles, the prices on Roseanne Street are tear-inducingly cheap. This was also the first street where Ifia found accommodation after leaving the slums.

However, although prices are low, one cannot expect too much in terms of the quality of ingredients.

And some special ingredients and spices that are not available on Roseanne Street at all, so in the end, she still has to go to Clifton Street to purchase them.

But even so, the common folks are quite content. At least they can have vegetables to eat.

Moreover, with the large population flow on Roseanne Street, the variety of items for sale is diverse. A careful browse might actually lead to some treasures.

Ifia is now wandering the streets, carefully eyeing the items on the stalls, ready to find business opportunities that can help her make money!

“Come and take a look, fresh sweet potatoes, selling cheap!”

“Fresh and plump onions, only this batch, once they’re gone, there won’t be any more.”

“Potatoes, sweet and fragrant potatoes.”

The most commonly sold food on both sides of the street is potatoes, and Ifia once thought of using potatoes to cook and sell dishes.

But thinking about the problem of obtaining them and the difference in taste between the East and West, she ultimately gave up on this idea.

The people of the Sith Empire love sweet flavors the most.

And if Ifia has money to buy sugar, why bother working so hard to make money?

Based on the expensive price of sugar, she can only rack her brains to see if there are any substitutes for sugar.

Due to the geographical climate of the Sith Empire, it is impossible to grow sugarcane crops, so they have to rely on maritime shipping to import sugar from other countries, which keeps the prices high.

If sugar is extracted from fruits, the cost is too high, and only the nobles can afford it.

“Ruby, did your neighbor’s daughter come back?”

“Oh, where can we find her so quickly? She’s been missing for a day, and there are no clues yet.”

While Ifia is looking for suitable ingredients, she suddenly hears the discussion of two women on the side of the road.

It’s about the missing person case in Dalwa City that she heard about in the gossip club during self-study today.

Unexpectedly, she, now, has first-hand information!

As a gossip enthusiast, Ifia naturally cannot miss out on the excitement. So, she pretends to look earnestly at various handwritten ads on the opposite wall while secretly eavesdropping on the conversation.

“Isn’t your neighbor’s daughter, Rudeni, quite obedient? How could she suddenly go missing?”

“Rudeni is so unlucky! Her mother fell ill again, but because the family is tight on money, she had to go out to find a job. She just recently found a stable job and was planning to use her salary to take her mother for treatment. However, on the way back with her wages, she disappeared.”

“Oh, this poor child. Which damned thing is causing trouble for women? If you have the ability, go bother the nobles. Why bother us, these unfortunate commoners?”

“Shh, don’t talk about these things on the street! It’s courting death!”

When one of the women spoke with hatred about the nobles, the other quickly stopped her, realizing she had said something she shouldn’t have. The woman obediently shut up, and the two left without further conversation.

Ifia was eager to hear more, but the gossip had stopped, and she had to redirect her attention.

Just as she was about to continue examining the ingredients on the stall, she unexpectedly saw someone she knew.

Why is Fiona here?

Seeing the love-struck Fiona, Ifia instinctively hid behind the cover of the stall. She had become wary of Fiona because of the money borrowing incidents!

Fiona didn’t notice Ifia there. She looked flustered, covering her disheveled clothes, and hurriedly left, as if there was a wild beast chasing her.

This made Ifia puzzled as she watched Fiona’s almost disappearing figure. She wondered why Fiona came here, it didn’t look like she was here to buy something. Was she here to borrow money outside the school again?

Just as Ifia was curious, her gaze accidentally fell on the things laid out on the stall. She instantly pushed aside her scattered thoughts and eagerly looked at the ingredients!

This is!!!

If her guess is correct, she can make big money soon!

[System, hurry, use the plant scanning function!]
