I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 39 [Summoning the Spirit Messenger]

Zhang Lingyun rolled her eyes dramatically.

I never expected that I, who always considered myself "dad", would be taken advantage of by this little devil today.

Now, their relationship has become that of "parents" to each other.

Just then, a green crack suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

A card from the Necromancer School floated down, swaying gently.

Zhang Lingyun, holding Xia Youran, reached out and picked up the card.

The card clearly states:

[Summon Spirit Messenger], [Necromantic School], [Third Ring]

Xia Youran's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked:

"With this card, will we suddenly become rich?"

"That's right."

A smile finally appeared on Zhang Lingyun's face:

"We won't have so many worries when we do transactions in the future."

At this moment, they had no idea just how dangerous this world was.

Huang Ku has begun tracking them down.

They'll come knocking on our door soon.

Zhang Lingyun held Xia Youran for a while, and finally felt his body warm up.

He quickly moved on to the next step, injecting [magic power] into the card.

He prepared to make his first summons.

The first time you use the spell 【Summon Spirit Messenger】, it's like a two-way job application process.

Not only do summoners have to approve summoned creatures, but summoned creatures also have the right to choose their summoners.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, there exists a plane called the "Spirit Realm".

Initially, only some spirit creatures existed here, living a vibrant and thriving life.

But later, as the human world continued to study magic, many high-level sorcerers and witches were unwilling to be bound by death.

They began to study the spirit world and devised a way to escape through it, thus avoiding the fate of falling into hell after death.

As a result, the souls of more and more deceased sorcerers and witches settled in the Spirit Realm.

After these restless fellows arrived, they completely turned the Spirit Realm into a mess.

In their struggle for resources in the spirit world, they divided themselves into many different factions, based on school of thought, associations, or principles of secrecy.

Just like the Warring States period, they attacked and fought each other endlessly.

The originally peaceful spirit creatures were made to suffer terribly by them.

Today, like any other day.

In a fertile valley of the Spirit Realm, another fierce battle unfolded.

The sorcerers of the Necromancer School commanded skeleton soldiers to charge, while witches unleashed vines entwined with black energy.

The enslaved spirit creatures roared and tore at each other.

The clash of swords and magical light clashed fiercely.

Just as the battle between the various factions was in full swing, the spell message "[Summon Spirit Messenger]" suddenly lit up in the sky.

The fierce fighting stopped instantly.

People from all factions raised their heads, their eyes fixed on the beam of light.

Clearly, they were more interested in being "summoned for a job" than in fighting.

Spirit beings and summoners can travel to the human world while working once they form a contract.

Besides receiving payment for their tasks, they could also secretly do smuggling work on the side.

Anyone who has worked as a flight attendant knows the benefits, which are self-evident.

Therefore, the creatures in the spirit world temporarily ceased their war.

First, a few leaders-like figures slowly walked to the front to investigate.

But when they realized it was just a third-level [Summon Spirit Messenger] spell, they all showed a lack of interest.

The level of the [Summoning] skill in the third ring is really too low.

Not only are the rewards meager, but once they arrive in the human realm, they will be restricted by various rules, preventing them from unleashing their true potential.

Therefore, none of these arrogant leaders were interested.

But the spirit creatures under their command were all very excited.

This is a great opportunity for them to get promoted.

A fish-like monster that looked like a deep-diving creature was the first to squeeze into the magical light.

The next second, light and shadow flickered, and the projection of the fish monster appeared in front of Zhang Lingyun.

Zhang Lingyun and Xia Youran exchanged a glance, both feeling that this was different from what they had imagined.

But Zhang Lingyun still tried to remain calm and asked:

"Would you like to be my messenger?"

The fish-headed monster nodded vigorously.

Zhang Lingyun couldn't help but urge:

"Say something."

The fish monster uttered a phrase in obscure merman language:

"Wabi Babu..."

Zhang Lingyun rolled her eyes and immediately rejected it.

He summoned the [Spirit Messenger] to assist him in making transactions.

There's absolutely no use keeping someone who can't speak the language.

The second person to apply for the job was a giant tree monster.

It can speak human language, but its speaking speed is incredibly slow; it takes it half a day to finish a single sentence.

"My...name...is..."

Before it could even finish its self-introduction, Zhang Lingyun decisively passed it over—he couldn't afford to waste that time.

The third applicant was a very beautiful young girl from Europe and America.

I never imagined she would die at such a young age.

Zhang Lingyun was quite satisfied with it, but Xia Youran rejected it for him.

Xia Youran said in a serious tone:

"Our country's laws do not allow the employment of child laborers."

Zhang Lingyun glanced at her helplessly.

I don't know if she was genuinely concerned about child labor, or if it was just because the foreign little witch was so beautiful.

But let's just pass it over, even though this little girl is quite suitable.

However, as a transaction agent, her image is indeed too naive, which might make clients think she's easy to bully.

But this means there are no suitable applicants.

Zhang Lingyun had no choice but to take out his phone and call Bai Lu for help.

On the other side—

Bai Lu was lying in her dormitory, just drifting off to sleep, when she was woken up by a video call.

She quickly shrank into the covers and pulled them over her head.

But as soon as the call connected, he saw Xia Youran, wrapped in a bath towel, gently hugging Zhang Lingyun's neck, the two of them sitting together on the bed.

Bai Lu thought to herself:

What exactly is this junior brother trying to do?

It's one thing for you two to be affectionate, but why do you have to torture single people like this?

Zhang Lingyun noticed Bai Lu's expression and quickly explained:

"Senior, don't misunderstand, I was just too cold, my cousin helped me warm up."

Bai Lu nodded, but in her heart she thought:

Keep making things up. Every time we talk on the phone, we're all lovey-dovey.

Is this a normal cousin relationship?

Bai Lu asked impatiently:

"What exactly happened?"

Zhang Lingyun didn't beat around the bush and said directly:

"Senior, I've learned the third-level skill, [Summon Spirit Messenger]."

Bai Lu's eyes widened instantly, and she almost shouted out loud from under the covers:

"How is that possible? You only audited a few classes of the Necromancy school, didn't you?"

"Senior, it's too complicated to explain, just consider it a special talent I have."

Bai Lu's eyes widened even more, her voice filled with shock:

"Your talent is absolutely monstrous! At this rate, you might even surpass your master in the future!"
