Chapter 32 A beautiful and wealthy woman comes to deliver money.
In the days that followed, Zhang Lingyun had an exceptionally leisurely life.
He was basically ignored in high school, but he still went to school frequently.
First, he kept an eye on Xia Youran's studies; second, he helped with odd jobs in the class.
Everyone is working hard for the college entrance examination.
Many people are experiencing hair loss on the top of their heads due to staying up so long.
Zhang Lingyun would voluntarily help everyone take out the trash, wipe the blackboard with her "Mage's Hand," and also help the teacher with some tasks.
His classmates both envied and appreciated him, and their [favorability rating] skyrocketed.
Some girls even secretly wrote him incredibly sweet love letters during this stressful exam preparation period.
Unfortunately, Zhang Lingyun read all of them but didn't reply.
Only Zhuang Wenwen's gaze towards him always carried an unyielding, deep resentment.
He spent the rest of his time at Green Island University.
Although he didn't see Lan Ruoxi often, he became increasingly familiar with Bai Lu.
I followed Bailu to audit the professional courses of the "Energy Shaping School" every day.
Although Zhang Lingyun's main focus is on the [Change School], after systematically listening to the "Element Theory Course", his control and understanding of [Lightning Arrow] have clearly reached a new level.
That noon, Zhang Lingyun was eating alone in the university cafeteria.
Bai Lu met a friend on the way and asked him to save her a seat.
Just then, Ding Shuangshuang sat down next to him.
Ding Shuangshuang belongs to the Necromancer School, which already makes people uncomfortable. Coupled with her behavior, almost everyone avoids her.
Seeing her sit down at the table, the students around her, carrying their trays, quietly dispersed.
Zhang Lingyun picked up her plate and tried to slip away, but Ding Shuangshuang grabbed her wrist.
Ding Shuangshuang asked with a smile:
"Handsome young man, have you made up your mind?"
Zhang Lingyun coldly withdrew his hand:
"I don't do that kind of thing."
Ding Shuangshuang raised an eyebrow, her tone carrying a hint of certainty:
"But I heard you're quite short of money."
Zhang Lingyun was speechless, because what the other party said was true.
Ding Shuangshuang didn't say anything more. She raised her hand, opened her [Portable Space], took out ten small glass bottles, and arranged them in a long row on the dining table.
The bottle resembles a high-end perfume bottle, filled with a shimmering silver liquid.
Ding Shuangshuang smiled and shook the bottle:
"These are the 'Angel Medicines,' look how beautiful they are."
"Don't leave these things with me."
Zhang Lingyun said with some disgust, "I'll throw them all in the trash can."
Ding Shuangshuang laughed maliciously:
"I don't care how you handle it, I've already given you the goods. I want to see 100,000 yuan in ten days."
Just then, Bai Lu returned, and Ding Shuangshuang stood up, casually teasingly saying:
"You're really popular; even the beautiful Bai is coming to protect you."
Ding Shuangshuang left the restaurant with a smile.
Bai Lu frowned deeply as she looked at the [Angel Medicine] on the table:
"I'll take you to see your advisor and let her handle this."
Zhang Lingyun gently shook her head.
He picked up a bottle of [Angel Medicine], examined it for a moment, and then put it into his [Portable Space].
"You said before that Master wouldn't get involved in these kinds of trivial matters. To resolve this trouble, I can only try to improve my own strength."
Zhang Lingyun couldn't stay under his master's wing forever.
Therefore, he must improve his strength in order to get out of his current predicament.
But in this world, money is a major factor in improving one's strength.
What he lacks most right now is money.
But an unexpected boost quietly arrived in the afternoon.
Aunt Qin Yu, whom he had helped during his first transaction with an outsider, suddenly called him.
On the phone, Aunt Qin Yu was very polite:
"Lingyun, thanks to your guidance last time, I successfully broke through the first level of the [Meditation Method]."
My [Magic Power] has been steadily increasing lately, and I feel much younger overall.
Zhang Lingyun responded politely:
"Yes! Yes! That's great!"
Then, Qin Yu got to the point:
"I have a very good friend who hasn't been able to make any progress in meditation, and recently she's even looked haggard, so I'd like to ask you for some guidance."
"Well—" Zhang Lingyun hesitated a bit.
Qin Yu immediately added:
"If you can help her break through, she's willing to give you a thank-you fee."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingyun immediately understood.
This Aunt Qin Yu is a successful person.
It seems her social circle consists of a bunch of beautiful and wealthy women!
Although there may be some risks involved in dealing with outsiders.
But he is desperately short of money and has no choice but to take the risk.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Lingyun quoted the price:
"It's the same restaurant we met last time. I want 50 as payment."
He had his own agenda and deliberately quoted a higher price.
Wait for the other party to bargain, and then take the opportunity to make concessions.
To his utter surprise, he had actually underreported the number of people he had reported.
Qin Yu, on the other end of the phone, agreed without hesitation.
This left Zhang Lingyun speechless.
He truly doesn't understand the world of the rich!
***
After deciding to take the risk, Zhang Lingyun called Xia Youran.
"We're having a big meal tonight."
"I want to lose weight tonight. I feel like I've gained weight lately because I've been eating the same things as you."
"Where are you fat? You're far from it. Wait until I can feel the flesh on your feet when I pinch them, then you can complain about getting fat."
"Okay. So, what kind of fancy meal should we have?"
"Remember Aunt Qin from last time? Let's mooch off her again tonight."
"That's great!"
Thinking of the French set meal, Xia Youran smiled.
"Okay, wait for me after school, I'll pick you up."
Zhang Lingyun brought Xia Youran along specifically for an extra layer of insurance.
In case of an unexpected situation, Xia Youran will be his "resurrection armor".
After listening to the call, Bai Lu was filled with doubt.
Seeing that Zhang Lingyun was in a good mood, she leaned closer and inquired:
"Why didn't you treat your senior sister to a big meal?"
"Excuse me, senior sister, I have important business tonight. If you'd like a big meal, I'll treat you another day."
Bai Lu pouted, feeling like she was being treated differently:
"What exactly is your relationship with Xia Youran?"
Zhang Lingyun replied calmly:
"We are cousins."
Bai Lu repeated it:
"Cousins?... "
She recalled the pair of feet that dangled to the ceiling during their previous video call, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.
I thought to myself, "Are you kidding me? What cousins would do something like that?"
***
Zhang Lingyun silently did some calculations in his mind.
The client introduced by Aunt Qin Yu this time promised to give her a thank-you fee of 50 yuan, which is just enough to buy the auxiliary medicine for the fourth level of the [Meditation Method].
Then he can freely use the money he had saved up.
He received a reward of 1 for preventing terrorists from the "God Kingdom Organization" from self-destructing.
He helped Qin Yu break through the first level of the [Meditation Method] and received a thank-you fee of 10.
He killed the musician with his own hands and then received a 10 yuan reward for his act of bravery.
—Adding them up, it totals 21.
If it were in the past, he would have been overjoyed and indulged in a lavish lifestyle.
Unfortunately, we are now surrounded by crises, and every penny must be spent wisely.
Zhang Lingyun pondered for a moment, then turned to Bai Lu for help.
"Senior, I'd like to add a few more magic cards. Could you give me some advice?"
