Chapter 14 [Angel Drug], a banned drug
I am indeed naturally suited to electric magic.
Even the stinging yet refreshing electric current seemed to be a perfect match for his constitution.
Suddenly, the measuring instrument next to it lit up, and the numbers on the screen scrolled rapidly, so fast that only a blurry light and shadow remained.
Bai Lu leaned forward slightly, her eyes fixed on the screen, her bright eyes round like grapes.
A layer of sweat glistened on her delicate, wheat-colored face, adding to her slightly astringent appearance.
"This number is outrageous..."
Bai Lu murmured to herself, her tone filled with disbelief, "Are you really still human?"
Seeing her overreacting, Zhang Lingyun spoke calmly and without any emotion:
"How much exactly?"
But Bai Lu seemed stunned by the numbers on the screen.
His lips moved several times, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Xia Youran quietly circled around to Bai Lu's back.
My gaze swept over her shoulder and glanced at the screen.
That one glance froze her instantly, and she spat out the pink drink.
The numbers on the screen finally stopped, so clear they were almost blinding to the two girls:
[36000 units of magic power].
In just one day, the magic power tripled.
Bai Lu simply couldn't accept such an absurd pace of progress.
She snapped back to her senses, rushed to Zhang Lingyun's side, and grabbed his shoulders tightly:
"I'm going to take you to see your professor!"
Looking at the magic power test report, Bai Lu couldn't wait to make a phone call, eagerly asking her mentor for a recommendation.
But Lan Ruoxi's tone was as cold as ice, conveying a distant and perfunctory attitude:
"Their magic power is quite high, but they might have already trained. Let's observe them further."
"But Master, shouldn't you at least take a look at the person first!"
"We'll talk about it another time..."
The call was abruptly ended as soon as he finished speaking.
Bai Lu's face was full of helplessness. She turned to look at Zhang Lingyun, her tone filled with guilt:
"I'm sorry, that's just how my master is."
She paused, then added:
"She's been a genius since childhood, arrogant and looks down on everyone. I'll find an opportunity to recommend her again later."
Zhang Lingyun waved his hand, his tone as calm as Lan Ruoxi's:
"fine."
Zhang Lingyun placed her main hopes on the principal.
The principal had promised to help him get a guaranteed admission, so he didn't take Lan Ruoxi's attitude to heart.
However, after this incident
His relationship with Bai Lu has taken a step closer, and the two have exchanged contact information.
Later, whenever Zhang Lingyun encountered problems in his cultivation, he would consult Bai Lu, which was equivalent to having a free private tutor.
But this joy didn't last long, and Zhang Lingyun encountered a problem:
The auxiliary magic potion required to cultivate the fourth level of the Meditation Technique costs a staggering 500,000 per bottle.
Five hundred thousand!
You can buy bread in Germany now.
He silently calculated the money in his hand:
Last time I got 100,000 yuan from Qin Yu, the school awarded me 10,000 yuan for my act of bravery, and with the living expenses from my family, I still have a shortfall of nearly 400,000 yuan!
The thought of this gave Zhang Lingyun a terrible headache.
It's exactly the same feeling of powerlessness one feels when holding a payslip and looking up at unattainable housing prices in the previous life.
On the other hand, Xia Youran, this witch, didn't care about any of this.
After successfully moving into Zhang Lingyun's home, she quickly relaxed completely, and her clothing and behavior became much more carefree.
She often wears only a sundress, sits cross-legged on the sofa, snacking and watching TV.
She seemed even more comfortable than at home, as if she truly saw herself as a "cousin" to be taken care of.
On this day, at school—
Zhang Lingyun kept his brow furrowed, his mind preoccupied with raising money to buy the magic potion.
He wasn't brought back to his senses by the noise in the classroom until lunch break.
He suddenly saw Zhuang Wenwen and Liu Yang huddled together, whispering to each other.
The two men looked furtive.
It was as if they were doing something shady, and after speaking, they quickly glanced around.
At this moment, Wang Dong came over, put his arm around his shoulder, and teased him with a wink:
"Old Zhang, look at Zhuang Wenwen, could she be cheating on you?"
Zhang Lingyun retaliated with an elbow strike, saying irritably:
"Get lost, I have absolutely nothing to do with her."
"But you used to fawn over her for two years!" Wang Dong persisted.
"Is that so? I'd completely forgotten about it."
Zhang Lingyun waved his hand dismissively; he genuinely had no recollection of what had happened before.
Wang Dong smiled and patted him on the shoulder:
"That's true, you have such a beautiful junior by your side now. It's time to abandon Zhuang Wenwen."
As they were talking, Zhuang Wenwen and Liu Yang deliberately avoided eye contact and walked out of the classroom one after the other.
This attempt to cover up the truth only makes it more suspicious.
Zhang Lingyun frowned and asked curiously:
"What are those two doing?"
Wang Dong lowered his voice and smiled mysteriously:
"They're probably selling drugs secretly."
Zhang Lingyun was even more puzzled:
"Selling medicine? What's going on here?"
Wang Dong, who was always well-informed, pulled him out of the classroom and slowly explained once they were in the corridor:
"Recently, a magic potion called 'Angel Potion' has become popular at school."
Zhang Lingyun pressed further:
"What are the effects?"
Wang Dong replied with a smile:
"I heard that drinking it will directly increase your [magic power]."
Zhang Lingyun frowned:
"What do you mean by 'directly increasing'? Shouldn't we use potions in conjunction with [meditation] to gradually increase [magic power]?"
"You're talking about legitimate cultivation methods."
Wang Dong curled his lip:
"But meditation is too difficult to practice, and the improvement is very slow. Now that the college entrance examination is approaching, many people want to take shortcuts."
The two walked down one step, but Wang Dong wanted to continue down to the first floor.
Zhang Lingyun tugged at his sleeve, gesturing for him to walk into the second-year high school corridor.
Zhang Lingyun's tone was full of doubt:
"Isn't this just getting something for nothing? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
Wang Dong shrugged:
"I also find it quite strange, but everyone is eager to give it a shot."
Zhang Lingyun couldn't help but frown:
"Did you use it?"
Wang Dong shook his head:
"I dare not use it. Who knows what the side effects of this potion are? What if it damages my brain?"
Zhang Lingyun couldn't help but smile. It seemed that his good buddy wasn't as far back in his head as he sat.
He remembered his Awakening Card, and a thought suddenly occurred to him.
The Angel Medicine can only increase a person's Magic Power, and its effect is far less than that of his Awakening Card.
Does that mean I can do this kind of business too?
Zhang Lingyun thought for a moment, then asked:
"Where did this drug come from?"
Wang Dong glanced at both sides of the corridor, lowering his voice even further:
"I heard it was produced in a lunar city, and its origin seems rather illegitimate. Liu Yang obtained the goods through some shady channels and has been secretly selling them at school."
