I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 97 Deception [High-Ranking Sorcerer] Making a Deal

Yu Li calmed himself down and asked:

"What kind of deal do you want to make?"

The con artist smiled, appearing calm and collected, and asked:

Do you consider your life to be the most precious thing?

For a selfish person like Yu Li, the answer is affirmative:

"Of course."

"Very good! So, if I spare your life, will you agree to any condition?"

Unable to fathom what the fraudster was up to, Yu Li could only nod hesitantly.

"As long as it's within my means."

Zhang Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the deal was about 70-80% done.

"Then I'll take fifty years of your experience in the [Energy Shaping School], and I guarantee I'll let you leave here."

Yu Li paused for a moment, then said:

"First, how can I give you something as abstract as experience?"

Secondly, what guarantees do you have that I can leave here safely?

The conman waved his finger and smiled elegantly:

"Neither of the two points you mentioned are in doubt. You don't need to know the underlying principles; you just need to know that even if I lied to you, you wouldn't suffer any loss."

Yu Li thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.

If the con artist is telling the truth, then he can escape smoothly.

If the fraudster is lying, then it's no different from the current situation.

Zhang Lingyun watched Yu Li with a cold eye.

She secretly hoped he would agree quickly, but maintained an elegant calm on her face.

Yu Li then raised another question:

"What if what you're saying is true? But what if I agree to your conditions, and then you don't meet mine?"

Zhang Lingyun felt a little more at ease.

This shows that Yu Li is already tempted.

"Given your high position, you must know a lot of inside information. You've probably also seen the reputation of the Four-Leaf Clover Hermitage on the deep web."

Yu Li interrupted:

"But that's based on past reputation, not on whether you'll change your mind this time. Don't forget, you're a con artist."

The conman laughed, a hint of disdain in his eyes:

"You know I'm a con artist. Would I scam someone as insignificant as you?"

Although being looked down upon like this made Yu Li feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But the other party is a man who has deceived God; he certainly has the right to look down on anyone.

Zhang Lingyun rolled her eyes, observing Yu Li's micro-expressions.

He suddenly felt that this time, not only could he complete the transaction, but he could even use his remaining resources to release some false information to better cover up his identity.

Then the con artist said:

"Fine, I'll be frank with you. Listen carefully, this is a private explanation for you; no one else has this privilege."

Yu Li pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

The fraudster then explained:

"The reason why we, the Four-Leaf Clover Hermitage, have never violated the contract in our transactions is that..."

It's not just because we have professional ethics, but also because of a fundamental reason.

That's our president's trading spell, which mandates that both parties act voluntarily and fairly.

Yu Li's eyes widened instantly.

He had previously suspected the Four-Leaf Clover Hermitage was behind everything.

There might be a super big shot plotting something earth-shattering.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

If what the conman said is true, then this guild leader's level has reached the [Rules] level.

He must have reached the [Transcendent Level 3] level.

Perhaps even higher, having already touched the threshold of God.

Thinking of this, Yu Li gasped.

He looked again at the conman, the man who had deceived God, who was now willing to serve the chairman.

This further confirmed his suspicions.

A sound came from outside the building ruins.

Su Wanqing and Lin Zhiyuan's men surrounded the area in layers.

The two of them are now somewhat worried.

They were afraid that Yu Li might suddenly unleash a rage and kill Zhang Lingyun inside.

Then the two of them are finished; they won't be able to explain themselves to Lan Ruoxi.

The con artist smiled slightly and said:

"Yu Li, I'm only giving you three seconds to make your choice. Three, two..."

Yu Li suddenly stretched out his hand and said:

"Wait a minute, I agree."

In that instant, Yu Li felt a jolt in his brain.

Then a large chunk of memory was sliced ​​away, like a cake being cut.

At the same time, fifty years of experience from the [Energy Shaping School] appeared out of nowhere in Zhang Lingyun's mind.

Yu Li, as expected of a seasoned [High-Rank Sorcerer], immediately benefited greatly from this experience.

Zhang Lingyun suppressed her excitement, maintaining an elegant smile, and said:

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go and talk to them outside."

Zhang Lingyun left the range of the [Illumination] spell and returned to normal in the dark corridor.

When he appeared in front of the gate, dozens of guns were pointed at him.

Lin Zhiyuan quickly shouted:

"Put the gun down! Those are our own people!"

Su Wanqing also went to greet them:

"Junior, you're alright? How's the situation inside?"

Zhang Lingyun smiled and gently beckoned Su Wanqing and Lin Zhiyuan over for a private talk.

Both of them were a little confused, but they still followed him to the corner of the wall.

Zhang Lingyun asked with a smile:

"If we launch a full-scale attack now, even if we manage to kill Yu Li, how many sacrifices will we have to make?"

Su Wanqing frowned and said:

"The sacrifices must have been enormous. That bastard Yu Li is even more formidable than before."

Lin Zhiyuan put forward a conjecture, saying:

"He may have received help from the [God Kingdom Organization], which is why his strength has suddenly increased again."

Su Wanqing nodded and speculated:

"If that's the case, we'd better be prepared for half of us to be killed or injured."

Zhang Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"The cost is too high. We must preserve our forces and also deal with the future threat from the [Kingdom of God]."

Su Wanqing and Lin Zhiyuan nodded together.

In fact, neither of them wanted to use the blood of their subordinates to stain their own hats.

After all, this is modern society. If you go too far, it won't sound good!

Zhang Lingyun understood their feelings, so he continued confidently:

"Then I'll take the liberty of making a suggestion:"

"Let Yu Li discard his [Energy Shaping School] card in exchange for his life today. What do you think?"

Su Wanqing and Lin Zhiyuan were both stunned, feeling that it was a bit unbelievable.

"Will this really work? Will he agree?"

Zhang Lingyun nodded and said:

"I guarantee this in my master's name. And if anything goes wrong, my master and I will take full responsibility."

Su Wanqing and Lin Zhiyuan exchanged a glance.

I thought to myself, "This relationship is great."

Anyway, they both got their share of the credit for tonight.

Now, Zhang Lingyun is once again taking the blame for backing out at the last minute.

Is there really such a good thing in the world?

Both of them felt a little embarrassed, feeling that this junior was really too righteous.

If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay them properly.

The three of them discussed and agreed on the matter.

Su Wanqing and Lin Zhiyuan returned to the team and informed their subordinates of the decision.

In fact, everyone knows that if they launch a full-scale attack, they might not survive the night.

We are all deeply grateful to Commissioner Zhang for taking on this responsibility.

Then, Zhang Lingyun returned to the ruins.

In the brief moment of alternating brightness, he transformed into a con artist once more.
