To avoid exposing the starkly different skin tone where her neck meets her body, Aunt Shi specially prepared a loose cloak for Lu Mingming to help shield her from other people's view.

"Don't be afraid, go in peace. Once you have the money, go find the head of the intelligence office, he will help you."
Lu Mingming remembered Aunt Shi's repeated instructions and headed straight for Sin City, following the route she had taken the night before.
Contrary to Aunt Shi's expectations, Lu Mingming planned to go to the intelligence department to find out the price first, so as not to have not enough even if she prepared it.
Taking advantage of the fact that there weren't many people around and the wealthy merchants who came to gather information hadn't arrived yet, Lu Mingming breathed a sigh of relief, no longer worried about having her identity discovered.
She clutched her cloak tightly to cover herself, jogged uphill, and knocked on the shop door.
The shop, which was locked yesterday, is now open, revealing a dark window that looks like a gaping maw capable of swallowing a person whole.
After Lu Mingming finished knocking, a lazy reply came from inside the room: "Coming, coming."
The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like fingernails scratching on glass, making Lu Mingming uncomfortable but she had to endure it and continue waiting nervously.
"That's a good omen, having guests so early in the morning."
The person who came out surprised Lu Mingming, making her wonder if she had come to the wrong place.

The boss is innocent and cute, with a bit of soft baby fat on his face. He looks like he's in middle school in the Interstellar Alliance, but he's an indispensable intelligence officer in Sin City, making money by selling information and owning mines.
What do you need?
Right in front of Lu Mingming, the boss took out a pipe and started smoking.
He rolled the tobacco and lit it himself while coughing, his movements very skillful.
With the other person having nothing to do, Lu Mingming hesitated and said, "Hello, I want to know someone's location. How much does it usually cost for this kind of information? He has black hair, rose-colored eyes, and is a newborn. I suspect he's a fraud, but I have no evidence. He doesn't talk much."
"Interesting. Another one who came to Sin City looking for someone. Didn't you know before you entered the city that all you could find here were corpses?"
The young boss chuckled, did some quick calculations, and finally settled on a price: "You look familiar. I'll give you a friendly price! 500,000 Ukrainian dollars will be enough for me. I think this information is worth that much money."
Can you really get information just by pinching your fingers like this?
Lu Mingming suspected that she had been scammed.
Seeing the distrust on Lu Mingming's face, the small business owner flipped over the opening sign, on which were written several large characters in crooked charcoal: "For information, pay if you believe, otherwise get lost."

They are truly outrageous.
"May I ask what 'Uhobi' is?"
Lu Mingming does have 100 million Star Coins in his account.
During this time, Lu Mingming stayed at home to recuperate, relying on Aunt Shi to cook and buy daily necessities. She didn't go out much and knew nothing about the situation.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, an outsider like me."
The young boss noticed Lu Mingming's blank expression and suddenly realized what was going on.
"Urako is the hard currency used exclusively in Sin City. Generally, one Urako is equal to 1,000 Star Coins. However, Urako cannot be used outside the city, so I suggest you try to find a way to obtain this money at the auction house."
Even if you want to exchange it with Star Coins, you'll need at least 500 million Star Coins.
"It's ridiculously expensive."
Lu Mingming muttered a curse under his breath.

"I'll go raise the money right away."
She turned and left with a gloomy face, though her dark expression revealed no emotion.
Lu Mingming's brows furrowed with worry; he had absolutely no idea how to make money.
Does she carry anything with her at all times?
"oops!"
As Lu Mingming walked further and further away, the young boss behind her suddenly exclaimed in surprise:
"Are you that missing streamer? I finally remember you. You could try trading your food for money and maybe earn a little bit."
"…Thanks."
After the shopkeeper's reminder, Lu Mingming remembered that she had exchanged matcha cookies for money at the auction outside last time, and maybe the same could be done here.
Lu Mingming made up her mind and followed the flow of people onto the road leading to the City That Never Sleeps.

Street vendors from the slums along the way began to hawk their wares, most of them having nothing of value to offer.
Some men have obtained rare minerals and herbs through their own hard work, while others demand that their wives and daughters give birth to a bunch of beautiful little girls, who are then sold to others as natural-born slaves.
A nimble and handsome young man might be lucky enough to be chosen by a rich woman to be her lover or her guard dog.
In the end, they were all things that couldn't be presented in a respectable manner.
But they had no choice; people were the least valuable thing here, and the only thing they had was people.
Everyone was struggling in the quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper.
Lu Mingming never stopped moving forward.
She tightened her cloak, her hands trembling as she gripped the herbs, her resolve to find Hongyu growing stronger.
Lu Mingming followed the crowd and joined the long queue. The soldiers guarding the city gate would conduct full-body checks on each person to prevent anyone from going in and causing trouble.
