I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 37 Adventure and the Yellow-and-Gray Deal

Zhang Lingyun was greatly alarmed.

The power of this spell is simply too great; my [energy shield] can't withstand it at all.

Lin Hao quickly got up and complained:

"Senior Ding Shuangshuang! He poured all our stockpiled [Angel Medicine] down the drain!"

Ding Shuangshuang looked at the empty medicine barrel, her teeth grinding together in anger.

"You're asking for it!"

She stretched out a giant, undead hand, trying to grab Zhang Lingyun and pull him closer.

Zhang Lingyun dared not take the attack head-on, fearing that she would corrupt him.

He smashed the window and jumped directly from the sixth floor.

During his descent, he poured all of his magic power into his energy shield.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, he crashed heavily to the ground, scattering dust and weeds everywhere.

Students passing by curiously gathered around.

Zhang Lingyun stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes.

Although his magic power was depleted, he was fortunate enough to escape danger.

He looked up at the building and saw Ding Shuangshuang still glaring at him.

Zhang Lingyun smiled smugly and gave her the middle finger.

Ding Shuangshuang leaned against the windowsill, veins bulging on her forehead.

She raised her hand somewhat out of control, preparing to unleash the [Death Finger] technique.

Lin Hao, who was standing nearby, was startled and quickly grabbed her arm:

"Senior Ding, calm down! There are other students downstairs; we can't afford the consequences if they get hurt!"

Just then, a muffled thud came from the roadside.

Professor Huang Ku, who had just given the lecture, collapsed straight to the ground.

Seeing this, Ding Shuangshuang temporarily suppressed her anger.

She rushed downstairs in a panic and quickly called an ambulance.

Zhang Lingyun mingled in the crowd, joining everyone in watching the excitement.

Immediately afterwards, another hand patted his shoulder.

Zhang Lingyun was startled, but thankfully the person who came was not Lin Hao, but her dear senior sister.

Bai Lu asked:

"You've gotten into trouble again?"

Zhang Lingyun replied:

"They started causing me trouble."

Bai Lu nodded:

"I understand. I always make that kind of excuse when my master reprimands me."

Watching the ambulance drive away, Zhang Lingyun asked:

"What's the relationship between that old professor and Ding Shuangshuang?"

Bai Lu replied:

"He is Ding Shuangshuang's mentor."

Zhang Lingyun suddenly realized and asked again:

"What's wrong with him?"

Bai Lu spoke softly, saying:

"What else can happen? His lifespan is coming to an end."

He's lived for hundreds of years; he should have died of old age long ago.

He had been relying on the secret techniques of the Necromancer school to prolong his life, but he had now reached his limit.

Zhang Lingyun pondered and asked:

"Why keep putting on a brave face when you're already living like this?"

Bai Lu looked at the crowd and replied:

"I heard he's studying a Necromancer spell."

If the spell succeeds, even if the soul goes to the spirit world, there is still a way to bring it back to life.

Just before the ambulance doors were about to close, Huang Ku suddenly raised his withered hand and roared:

"I can't die yet! Give me three more years! Just give me three more years, and I'm sure I can succeed!"

Zhang Lingyun watched the ambulance drive away and suddenly fell into deep thought.

A very bold plan slowly took shape in his mind.

He thought that perhaps he could take advantage of Huang Ku's desire to live and make some kind of deal with him.

They exchanged useful spells from him to use against his apprentice, Ding Shuangshuang.

Zhang Lingyun knew this was extremely risky.

But he had no other choice but to put himself in a do-or-die situation.

Zhang Lingyun quickly called Xia Youran.

Zhang Lingyun said:

We have something to do tonight.

Xia Youran asked happily:

"Are we going to have a French meal again?"

Zhang Lingyun was somewhat helpless:

"All you ever think about is eating!"

She used to be a girl who always wanted to diet, but now she's become a big eater?

Xia Youran asked dejectedly:

"What are you going to do?"

"Tonight, we're going to the hospital to make a big deal."

"I see."

After nightfall.

Zhang Lingyun first took a stroll around the hospital to confirm that there was nothing suspicious going on.

Xia Youran, under the guise of visiting Huang Ku, found out his ward number.

Zhang Lingyun and Xia Youran put on hats and masks, dressing like big stars trying to avoid paparazzi.

Huang Ku lay in the intensive care unit, his body covered with various testing devices.

On the screens of the surrounding instruments, curves were rhythmically jumping.

Zhang Lingyun hid behind Xia Youran, and the two went inside one after the other.

Even though Huang Ku was on his deathbed, he remained extremely vigilant.

He immediately opened his withered, yellow eyes, staring at the two uninvited guests as if they were a snake eyeing a frog.

"What do you want to do?"

Huang Ku raised a finger, its tip wreathed in an ominous green light.

Xia Youran was a little scared, and her body trembled involuntarily.

Zhang Lingyun held her shoulders and deliberately lowered his voice:

"Huang Ku, I want to make a deal with you."

Huang Ku looked puzzled:

"trade?"

Zhang Lingyun nodded and said:

"That's right, you really want to live a little longer, don't you?"

Huang Ku gave a bitter laugh:

"That's right. If I have three more years, I will definitely be able to complete that spell."

Zhang Lingyun said.

"I can grant your wish."

Huang Ku paused for a moment, then laughed:

"You two brats think you can fool me? I've tried so many methods to prolong my life, and none of them work now."

Zhang Lingyun's tone was firm:

"My method will definitely work."

You can totally try it as a prank; even if it's fake, you won't lose anything.

His sallow complexion gradually turned serious:

"Then please explain in detail."

Zhang Lingyun maintained a calm tone:

"The terms of the deal are simple: I'll give you three years of lifespan, and in return, you give me all the spell experience you have for the [Summoning Spirits] spell."

Huang Ku's dim, yellowish old eyes suddenly widened in surprise:

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could these two things possibly be traded?"

Zhang Lingyun sneered:

"You don't need to understand the principles, you just need to agree."

"In addition, you must also trade me your memories of the last five minutes."

As a senior professor of the Necromancy school, Huang Ku immediately thought of a possibility:

"It seems you possess a very peculiar spell."

Zhang Lingyun frowned.

I thought to myself, people in this world are definitely not stupid.

The old man immediately guessed the gist of it.

Zhang Lingyun calmed himself down and said:

"You don't need to know that. As long as you agree, we can complete the transaction."

Huang Ku pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily:

"Okay, we'll do it your way. I agree to the deal."

The next second, Huang Ku felt a piece of memory in his mind being dug up like soil.

At the same time, a bit of life suddenly appeared in his withered body.

The numbers displayed by the surrounding instruments gradually returned to normal.

His mind was instantly filled with doubt, but he had no idea what had just happened.

At this moment, Zhang Lingyun and Xia Youran had already entered the elevator.

Suddenly, Zhang Lingyun's mind was filled with all the experience of the spell [Summoning Souls of the Spirit Realm].

At the same time, he also lost three years of his life.

Zhang Lingyun didn't seem to care much about this.

Because as long as you make good use of that [Awakening Card], gaining lifespan is not a difficult thing.

In this cruel world, there are many young people living in misery.

In order to gain money or status, some people are willing to sacrifice their young lives.

This behavior is called "standing out from the crowd".

If Zhang Lingyun told them that they only needed to reduce their lifespan by three years to get a million yuan, I'm sure a lot of people would line up.
