Chapter 33 The Masochistic [Protection School]
"Of course, no problem."
The two then went to the Golden Rose Magic Shop, which was run by the university.
Bai Lu was the first to pick up a bottle of magic potion that gleamed with a cold metallic sheen:
"This is part of the [Protection School]: [Energy Shield]."
Zhang Lingyun frowned:
"Is the ring count a bit low?"
The same type of shield that Lin Hao used last time was negated by his own [Lightning Arrow].
He was afraid that this would happen to him.
"Don't underestimate its level."
Bai Lu patiently explained:
Its protective effect will increase in tandem with your [Magic Value].
It can even be upgraded automatically in the future, making it an essential spell that can be used from beginning to end.
Zhang Lingyun nodded: "Then I'll buy it."
"Thank you for your patronage, 10 yuan."
The witch saleswoman working nearby had been secretly eyeing Zhang Lingyun since earlier, her admiration for him undisguised.
But Bai Lu's constant presence by his side made her feel like she had no competitive advantage.
Zhang Lingyun's eyes widened instantly:
"This potion is so expensive?"
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Bai Lu shrugged. "The [Protection School] is a life-saving technique that all sorcerers and witches rely on, so its products are generally more expensive than those of other schools."
She added:
"That's why our master is so rich."
Zhang Lingyun suddenly realized what was going on and quietly made up her mind.
In the future, while focusing on the "Change School," he will also delve into the "Protection School."
Firstly, it was to save their lives;
Secondly, they hoped to make money from this opportunity.
"By the way, I'd also like to further improve its damage output," Zhang Lingyun said.
Bai Lu nodded.
After rummaging through the counter for a moment, he pointed to a bottle of silvery-white magic potion.
The potion was contained in an exquisite crystal bottle, within which tiny, silvery sparks of electricity danced.
"The second-ring Lightning Claw is a perfect upgrade to Lightning Bolt. It can wrap your hands in electric current and even shoot it out."
Zhang Lingyun nodded, feeling that it was indeed a good choice.
When it was time to pay, the saleswoman strongly recommended the store's potion digestion service, which could help customers digest potions on the spot.
Zhang Lingyun was waiting to use it, so she purchased the service.
The process of digesting [Lightning Claw] and [Lightning Bolt] is similar, except the voltage is adjusted from 220 volts to 360 volts.
Just as Bai Lu had said before, Zhang Lingyun had a very high electrical reactance and managed to withstand it.
But when it came to the [Energy Shield] potion, the digestion conditions stunned him—he had to "happily enjoy the pain."
He hadn't reacted yet.
The saleswoman then pulled out a barbed leather whip and pretended to lash it twice in the air.
Zhang Lingyun quickly reached out to stop him:
"I think I understand the purpose of this digestion ritual now. It's to build the courage to face attacks head-on, right? But I don't feel any pleasure when you whip me."
The saleswoman, who had been beaming with excitement, instantly deflated, her pretty face filled with disappointment.
Bai Lu, standing to the side, also felt a little embarrassed, and muttered to herself:
Junior brother, you don't want me to help him digest it personally, do you?
To her disappointment, Zhang Lingyun picked up the potion and left immediately.
Bai Lu quickly chased after him:
"Junior brother, how exactly do you intend to digest this potion?"
"I'm not a masochist. I wouldn't feel happy being whipped. So, I'd better ask someone else for help."
Bai Lu looked on with suspicion, unable to figure out what he was planning to do.
I waited in front of the school gate for a short while—
Qin Yu's Audi A8 Executive model came to a smooth stop next to Zhang Lingyun.
After saying goodbye to Bai Lu, Zhang Lingyun calmly got into the passenger seat.
Bai Lu stood there, still immersed in her questions, her mind starting to wander further and further.
"Does my junior brother like women with a motherly air? Is it only this kind of mature woman who can give him a painful kind of pleasure?"
-----------------
There are two trees outside the main gate of Green Island No. 1 High School.
One is an osmanthus tree, and the other is also an osmanthus tree.
Xia Youran stood under one of the trees, quietly waiting for Zhang Lingyun to come and pick her up.
After leaving her family of origin, Xia Youran's mood has improved a lot.
She no longer thinks about negative things all day long, and often has a warm smile on her face, looking even more beautiful than before.
But she wasn't even slightly moved by the boys at school who were pursuing her.
Girls in her class who used to never talk to her now come up to her and ask if she wants to go shopping together.
Xia Youran smiled and shook her head:
My cousin is coming to pick me up later.
The girls immediately burst into laughter and joked:
"Is he really your cousin? He doesn't look like him at all!"
Whenever Xia Youran was asked this question, she would blush and stop saying a word.
Upon seeing this, the girls would burst into laughter, then wave and leave.
Just then, Wang Dong walked out of the school gate.
He grinned and came over to greet Xia Youran.
Then he started rambling on about all sorts of things, but the main theme was always the same: Gothic is awesome.
In the past, Xia Youran would have rolled her eyes, turned around and left, too lazy to pay any attention to him.
But now she understands that humans are social beings, and whether they like it or not, they have to play their roles well.
Although Wang Dong is unreliable, he has become a friend of Zhang Lingyun through her mediation.
So she looked at him with a tolerant gaze, as if he were an idiot, and let him spout his unreliable boasts.
The more Wang Dong brags, the more outrageous he becomes.
He started bragging about how rich his family was, saying he had just bought a BMW.
He patted his chest and promised that he would drive over another day to pick her and Zhang Lingyun up for a fun-filled outing.
"I paid for everything."
Just as he was getting into his spiel, an Audi A8 slowly pulled up to the side of the road.
Zhang Lingyun jumped out of the car, turned to Qin Yu and shouted:
"Aunt Qin, please wait here for a moment, we'll be right there."
After speaking, he glanced at the almost empty campus, looked at Wang Dong who was still in a daze, and asked:
"Where can I find a place where I won't be disturbed?"
Wang Dong scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said:
"The sports storage room, nobody goes there now."
"it is good."
Zhang Lingyun agreed readily, grabbing Xia Youran's wrist and saying, "Come with me quickly."
Xia Youran was pulled so hard she stumbled:
"What's up?"
With a hint of urgency, Zhang Lingyun tightened his grip:
"Hurry, help me."
Wang Dong stood there, his eyes wide open.
He watched in shock as Zhang Lingyun dragged Xia Youran and rushed into the sports warehouse.
About five minutes later, the two of them came out.
Zhang Lingyun straightened his slightly wrinkled collar, his face beaming with an undisguised sense of relief, as if he had unloaded some burden.
Xia Youran was panting heavily, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead and her cheeks as red as ripe peaches.
She muttered to herself.
"Ugh, couldn't you just wait until we got home?"
"I need it urgently."
Zhang Lingyun smiled, her tone softening, "Alright, let's go."
He then took Xia Youran's hand and climbed into the back seat of the Audi.
Wang Dong stood frozen in place the whole time, his eyes still wide open, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Only one thought remained in his mind:
This guy is really different from before; his energy and drive are off the charts now.
