If Lu Mingming were to pass by here normally, she would never even notice that there is a shop here.
"Yes, this is the place."
Aunt Shi spoke with certainty.

"Within five days, you can get all the information you want here. Tomorrow, tell the boss you want three Bloody Marys, and you want a sage stick in them."
She sniffed halfway through her sentence, covered her neck, and cursed fiercely, "One day I'll kill all the beastmen."
After catching her breath, Aunt Shi continued:
"The price for gathering information is uncertain. I advise you to join the caravan activities with the slums. The box of herbs you have is a gift for you."
"This isn't appropriate..."
Before Lu Mingming could finish speaking, Aunt Shi turned and walked in another direction, clearly not wanting to hear Lu Mingming's refusal.
"Here you go, keep it safe. Don't try to pass it around like that, it's so annoying."
Lu Mingming could only manage a wry smile, shut his mouth, and quicken his pace to catch up.
Under Aunt Shi's guidance, the two gradually left the slum area and embarked on a more glamorous path.
The streetlights on both sides were so bright that it was like daytime, and the road was covered with green plants. You could even see many rare and ancient bonsai that you had seen at the Lumingming Auction House.

The new material was laid on the floor tiles with a tight fit, ensuring that stepping on it felt as soft as walking on cotton.
Having grown accustomed to the steep terrain of the slums, Lu Mingming found it quite unsettling to suddenly walk on an upscale road, and couldn't help but stop to carefully feel the sensation under her feet.
Aunt Shi walked several meters away, turned her head to see that no one was following, and raised her voice to remind them, "Stop playing, look ahead."
Lu Mingming subconsciously looked up and saw a magnificent building rising from the ground in front of him.
The enormous artificial moon lamps emit a soft glow, and crystal pipes supply a vast amount of energy to every part of the city wall, creating the image of a city that never sleeps at night.
The combination of technology and wealth brings out the ultimate in luxury and beauty.
Even though she had never entered that city that never sleeps, Lu Mingming, standing at a distance, seemed to already hear the joyful cheers from within the city.
"Tonight is also a celebration for these rich people, because tomorrow they can meet more wealthy businessmen and big shots to solidify their position."
Most of the shopping malls, auctions, and various powerful entities are located in the City That Never Sleeps; the slums are not entitled to those privileges.
When talking about the city that never sleeps, Aunt Shi's voice was devoid of any emotion as she pointed to the sky and said, "They're about to begin."

Lu Mingming looked up and gazed into the distance in the direction Aunt Shi was pointing—fireworks burst open in the air with a "bang".
The sky was ablaze with brilliant firelight, adding even more beauty to the starry night.
"It's so beautiful."
Lu Mingming blurted it out involuntarily.
As soon as she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Aunt Shi, afraid that the other woman would be displeased by her words.
"yes."
Unexpectedly, Aunt Shi agreed with Lu Mingming's words.
She turned her head to look at Lu Mingming, her eyes softening, as if she were looking at someone through Lu Mingming.
Such emotions vanished in an instant, and Aunt Shi tightened her face again, leaving straight away: "Let's go, let's go back. Good days are for beastmen. You need to prepare to attend the Chamber of Commerce event tomorrow."
