I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 44 The First Online Transaction

Xia Youran tilted her head and thought for a moment:

"The 'Angel Potion' is all the rage lately, but our potion is even better, let's call it the 'Holy Spirit Potion'!"

Zhang Lingyun suddenly realized that Xia Youran was truly a genius at naming things.

Next is the issue of price.

Zhang Lingyun was extremely determined:

"I want to price this one-of-a-kind product at one million."

Xia Youran was startled:

"One million? Isn't that too expensive? Will anyone even buy it?"

Zhang Lingyun analyzed:

"You need to understand the psychology of your customers. People who want to comprehend the [meditation method] are not short of money."

Many years later, the Four-Leaf Clover Hermitage will become a legend.

But no one knows that the world’s most powerful society originated from a dinner for two.

Beneath the ordinary internet lies a hidden layer called the "deep network".

The deep network is entirely constructed of runes and is only available to those with [Mana Points].

Zhang Lingyun logged into the deep network.

He registered a new ID: Clover Hermitage.

He then released the transaction information:

[Holy Elixir: This medicine, once taken, will guarantee a breakthrough to the first level of Meditation. Price: 100 million.]

To enhance credibility and security, he applied for another guarantee.

Using the badge of the Golden Rose Society as proof, please have the Golden Rose Society act as the intermediary guarantor.

The Golden Rose Society's foundation is far greater than it appears on the surface.

Apart from its branch in Green Island, its network spans the entire East Asian region.

The reviewers for Golden Rose were filled with doubts:

What is this "Holy Spirit Medicine"?

This is something I've never heard of before, and the effects are too exaggerated; they actually dare to say it will definitely lead to a breakthrough.

But this magical world is inherently bizarre and fantastical.

Strange things were happening every day, so he didn't investigate further.

The post was approved immediately and will be posted on the forum.

Even if it's a scam, it's just a game between scammers and fools, which is common in the deep network.

Zhang Lingyun and Xia Youran stayed up all night in front of the screen.

The post had many comments, but they were all jokes and memes.

No one truly believed that such a magic potion existed in the world.

Xia Youran complained with a sullen face:

"See? I told you the price was too high."

Zhang Lingyun shrugged indifferently:

"It's okay. In this kind of business, you might not make a sale for three years, but once you do, you can live off it for three years."

After figuring this out, the two stopped worrying about it and went back to their room to sleep.

The days passed by.

The post about the "Holy Spirit Medicine" is generating more and more discussion.

However, most of the comments were mocking the post as a scam, and no one was willing to place an order.

until a certain day.

Zhuang Wenwen scrolled through the Deep Web with frustration.

She has been searching for a way to purchase the "Angel Drug".

With the college entrance exam fast approaching, she desperately needs the "Angel's Medicine" to boost her "Magic Power."

But Huang Ku gave the order.

All his subordinates are working tirelessly to track down the mysterious man, which has led to the complete halt of sales of the "Angel Drug".

[Angel Drug] has a very strong addictive effect.

Once you stop taking the potion, the magic points gained from it will quickly disappear.

Having experienced the feeling of her magic power surging, Zhuang Wenwen could no longer accept a decline in her strength.

She was scrolling through the pages aimlessly when she suddenly saw a post by Zhang Lingyun.

Zhuang Wenwen flipped through the pages little by little.

Most netizens below were making jokes and questioning the comments.

However, there are also a few scattered urban legends that mention the existence of rumors that can help people break through the "meditation method".

Having been tormented by the decline of her magic power recently, she suddenly felt like she had grasped a lifeline.

She immediately went home and asked her parents for help.

Zhuang Wenwen comes from a very wealthy family, and her parents dote on her.

Unable to bear seeing their daughter suffer every day, the couple, with a "nothing to lose" mentality, transferred one million to her directly.

Zhuang Wenwen did not hesitate.

The order was submitted to the guarantor on the spot.

She went to school feeling restless all day afterward.

She tried to chat with Zhang Lingyun, but found that he was still very cold towards her.

School dismissal time —

She saw Zhang Lingyun and Xia Youran leaving the campus, chatting and laughing, from afar.

My heart instantly ached with sadness.

She didn't feel any better until she received the confirmation of the transaction that night.

She provided her detailed address and arranged the transaction for that evening.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lingyun returned home.

When I opened the transaction information and checked the address, it seemed somewhat familiar.

After careful reflection, he couldn't help but sigh softly:

"I never expected that my first customer would be Zhuang Wenwen."

Xia Youran, who was drinking Monster Energy drink nearby, immediately perked up her ears.

She frowned slightly and asked:

"What's wrong? Are you still hung up on your ex-girlfriend?"

Zhang Lingyun was somewhat helpless:

"Don't talk nonsense, I was just making a casual remark."

Xia Youran snorted and earnestly reminded him:

"She used to ignore you, but now that she sees you're successful, she's all over you. She's a typical manipulative woman; don't fall for it."

Zhang Lingyun waved his hand:

"I know, don't look so serious, you're acting like my mom."

After nightfall.

Zhang Lingyun took out the [Summon Spirit Messenger] card and slowly poured [Magic Power] into it.

A narrow spatial rift opened up in front of him.

A slender hand reached out first, holding eight beautiful women's heads in its hand.

Immediately afterwards, the nine-headed bird's true form slowly floated out of the crack.

She began to speak:

"My esteemed master, in accordance with the blood pact between us, I have come to fulfill my duty."

Zhang Lingyun forced a calm demeanor:

"very good."

Xia Youran was already trembling with fear, hiding tightly behind Zhang Lingyun.

Zhang Lingyun had anticipated this, and had told her to wait in the next room beforehand.

But the girl couldn't rest easy and insisted on staying to keep him company.

Zhang Lingyun spoke with the nine-headed bird for a while, explaining the message to be conveyed, and then handed over a crystal bottle.

The bottle contained a magic potion he had concocted himself.

This is what he learned while auditing potions classes at Green Island University.

The potion itself has no special effects; it only contains some melatonin, which helps people fall asleep.

One of the nine-headed bird's heads deftly caught the medicine bottle in its mouth.

Then she extended her free right hand, beckoned to Zhang Lingyun with her finger, and said:

"Where is my payment?"

Zhang Lingyun was stunned for a moment.

This was his first time summoning a messenger, and he hadn't thought things through properly, forgetting to prepare a personal token beforehand.

The redhead noticed something amiss and teased with a wicked grin:

"The girl hiding behind you is practically your personal possession, so why don't you give her to me?"

Xia Youran screamed in fright:

"I don't want to!"

The blond head gently bumped the red head, stopping him:

"Don't scare the children."

As soon as he finished speaking, the blond-haired man reached out his hand towards Zhang Lingyun.

With a gentle tug, the collar button of his shirt was ripped off.
