The rural-urban fringe of Songhai city to the border of Huaxiu nation was at least hundreds of millions of kilometers away, and Wang Ling rarely used the Great Teleportation Spell to travel such a long distance.
But looking at the result, at least … his beloved crispy noodle snacks had been saved.
Wang Ling returned to his desk and stared thoughtfully at the sun outside his bedroom skylight. Previously, he had been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding that Uncle Black's line of sight. As long as he didn't let Uncle Black see his face, Wang Ling could guarantee that the "Great Shielding Spell" would continue to work. Fortunately, that coward hadn't dared to look at him at all, and had almost wet his pants under the pressure of this absolute power.
Now, Wang Ling could guarantee that that mysterious Uncle Black basically wouldn't dare cause trouble for him again, but Odd Zhuo was still a big problem.
Wang Ling sighed. He really had to think carefully about how to solve this problem, otherwise it would become a big problem sooner or later.
But after some recent events, Wang Ling had also gained some inspiration.
It was time to prepare a mask for himself.
Because the Great Shielding Spell could only be successfully activated if he could ensure that those who had designs on him didn't see his face. Otherwise, even if he used the Great Transfiguration Spell to change his appearance, it would be useless. And wearing a mask was a pretty good way to protect himself.
It wasn't that Wang Ling hadn't considered it before, but that he hadn't been willing to buy one. Because his pocket money was limited, Father Wang was like a dictatorial shopkeeper who only gave him a pitiful amount of pocket money every month. Furthermore, he would do everything in his power to embezzle it.
One hundred for breaking a spoon …
Fifty for breaking a chopstick …
There were fifteen students in the elite class that Wang Ling was in; if Wang Ling's exam results were in the top eight of the class, five hundred would be directly deducted!
Based on the number of bowls, chopsticks, and spoons that Wang Ling had accidentally broken every month, as well as the furniture that he had smashed when he wasn't careful … Father Wang would often use all sorts of excuses to take away his pocket money before he could even keep it warm. Even the money he used to buy crispy noodle snacks had been saved up by Wang Ling …
But it had only been three months since he had put on the new Dao talisman seal, and its powerful power had also strengthened Wang Ling's restraints. For the time being, Father Wang wouldn't be able to find an excuse to embezzle Wang Ling's pocket money.
Thus, these three months should be when Wang Ling's pocket money was the most.
Wang Ling's idea was that he could just buy a random mask and wear it as long as it covered his face.
But there were so many different kinds of masks online that it was hard for someone like Wang Ling, who had difficulty choosing.
Although he had bought it casually, he didn't dare use a mask of poor quality. Otherwise, if he tried to catch his breath while wearing it, the mask might crack.
After struggling for a long while, Wang Ling finally looked for his own mask based on the tags that other online buyers had left on the website.
Wang Ling chose "Good and cheap" and "Most Popular" options, and in a split second, the number of items in the cultivation online shopping mall plummeted.
Next, Wang Ling needed to use his 24K pure gold titanium laser eyes to pick out his own mask from this vast array of masks.
There were pictures of the masks on the cultivation online shopping mall, and Wang Ling could use his Heavenly Eye to examine the materials used to make them.
Ding dong!
Just as his gaze swept over the masks in the shop, a private chat window suddenly popped up.
Wang Ling opened it, and at the top of the window was the nickname: New Century Cultivation Mask Shop.
It was very obvious that this shop had installed some kind of software that could automatically solicit customers through a private chat window when they browsed online. It was like a certain private hospital that had spent money on a bidding ranking online. As soon as they entered the website, they would start to send private chat windows, and then boast about how brilliant their medical skills were. In the end, they had spent money to treat a patient to death.
Wang Ling was very disgusted with this kind of behavior …
Just as he was about to close the window, the customer service staff quickly sent him a smiley face with a rose in its mouth and a string of text messages: "Fellow cultivator, please stay!"
Almost out of reflex, Wang Ling typed out a string of ellipses: "…"
Seeing Wang Ling's reply, the customer service staff was very enthusiastic and immediately replied, "I saw that fellow cultivator was looking for a mask. I can guarantee that the masks we sell are definitely the cheapest on the Internet, and the quality is guaranteed. What kind of mask would this fellow cultivator like? We have everything you could ever want here! (This text is typed and not an automatic reply. Please don't doubt our enthusiasm!) "
"…"
Wang Ling was a little speechless. Before he could reply, the customer service staff sent another message. "I know that fellow cultivator is still conflicted, so let me give you a brief introduction of some of the masks that have been selling very well recently!"
Very quickly, the customer service staff sent him the first picture. It was a strange green mask with well-defined features. It didn't look ugly, and it also seemed to have a fluorescent effect.
Wang Ling asked, "What is this?"
"I wonder if fellow cultivator feels ashamed to face your lover's womanizing all over the place? How on earth do you find your first love? How on earth do you redeem your spouse's love? Our company's latest green forgiving mask will help you restore your confidence and redeem your love from the root! "
Wang Ling: "…"
"Ah … if fellow cultivator isn't satisfied, we still have the next one."
After saying that, the customer service staff sent him another picture of the mask.
This mask was silver all over, and the rest of it was very ordinary, except for the unusually sharp chin.
"I wonder if fellow cultivator is still afraid of walking alone at night? I wonder if fellow cultivator often works overtime until dawn? This Liu Baobao brand snake spirit male mask is made with the latest hyaluronic acid synthesis technology. Not only is it hydrating and beautifying, the mask's chin is also inlaid with black diamond alloy, which can be used as a weapon at a critical moment! "
"…"
For a long time, Wang Ling didn't reply.
The customer service staff sent Wang Ling a question mark: Fellow cultivator?
"… Do you have any … reliable ones that are only used to cover your face?"
This time, it was finally the customer service staff's turn to send ellipses: "…"
Nowadays, most masks had been developed by combining cultivation and scientific power, and were mostly functional masks. There were actually only a few in the entire cultivation online shopping market that didn't have any other functions and was only used to cover one's face. Of course, it wasn't that there weren't any. But most of the non-functional masks had great ornamental value, so they were often sold at a high price … but Wang Ling's requirement was that they be of good quality and cheap …
Obviously, this caused a lot of trouble for the customer service staff. About ten minutes later, the customer service staff finally sent him another picture of the mask. It was a ghost mask that looked a little rough, and the eyes seemed to have been decorated with resin or something. It looked a little old, but overall, it looked pretty good.
"Fellow cultivator, cheap face-blocking masks … to be honest, they're very hard to find, especially in the cultivation online shopping market. Our family doesn't have many in stock, and according to fellow cultivator's request, we found this good-quality, cheap … and not too ugly mask. "
Wang Ling stared at the picture the customer service staff had sent him, and felt that this mask basically met his requirements.
The most important thing was that Wang Ling had used his Heavenly Eye to see the material of the stone ghost mask …
Although he hadn't actually touched the real thing, and wasn't too sure based on the picture alone, Wang Ling did indeed see primordial black crystal in the stone ghost mask.
