After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 94

Bai Lu frowned; this answer was not what she expected: "How long?"

The shop assistant said, "At least three days."

"excuse me."

The egret didn't hesitate at all; it turned around and left.

The shop assistant had just poured a cup of jujube health tea when she saw Bailu leaving without looking back. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether this person really wanted to buy the 30% off product or was just stupidly trying to show off and ride the wave of the new product.

She silently took a sip of the jujube tea she had poured for herself. It had a strong jujube flavor, and she had also added brown sugar and ginger. It was quite delicious, but the customer who had just left was not fortunate enough to enjoy it.

Bai Lu turned left after leaving the store and asked several other mobile phone stores, all of which gave the same answer—they all said they could get it, but it would take a few days.

Bailu immediately gave up. According to the boss's sales pitch, if he still couldn't deliver the goods after several days, he would only get a "sorry" in return!
So she stopped trying and went back to the first store.

The shop assistant was surprised to see her come back after only five minutes, but her professionalism made her approach her again: "Do you still need to make a reservation? I can arrange it for you right away."

Asking one more question is no trouble for a salesperson, and what if it makes a sale! A phone that costs nearly 30,000 yuan a unit—if she sells three, her commission will be substantial!

However, the egret shook its head and said, "No."

Shop assistant: "..."

So... did you also come back to enjoy the air conditioning?

She was just about to go pour the jujube tea!

Egret: "I'd like to ask, is your internet speed fast? Can you help me download TV series, movies, and novels?"

"Huh?" The shop assistant didn't react for a moment, and nodded after a pause: "Yes, our store has the best network in the area."

You can tell by the number of people using the Wi-Fi without permission.

But... downloading novels on her phone, yes, she'd done that before!

She was in junior high school at the time and was still using a Nokia phone. Because she was going to live at school, her parents were worried that they wouldn't be able to contact her, so they bought her a cell phone. Unexpectedly, she used it to read novels. At that time, the novels were all about school heartthrobs or school beauties, or gangster boyfriends, and she was obsessed with them. Before cell phones, she used MP3 players. She was very engrossed in reading on that small screen!

But now... downloading novels?
Are you sure you want to download a novel?

Hey young lady, are you here looking for some amusement? Don't they think selling phones is a life too?

But her instinct as a working stiff made her greet the guests with a smile, and the jujube tea that she hadn't been able to drink finally reached Bailu's hands.

Even the teenagers who were busy playing games took a moment to look at the egret, as if it were an ancient relic from some distant era.

Bai Lu didn't care about these stares. She had a crazy, self-righteous feeling that she was the only one who was sober in a world of drunks. As soon as she heard that the internet was the best, she immediately made a decision: "Okay, this model, one of each color, and download different types of cultivation novels for each phone. If you can find novels about sects being destroyed and the sect leader and disciples suffering terribly, that would be even better. Also, please change the titles for me. They should emphasize the massacre of the sect, and how miserable the sect or the sect leader was. I only have one small request: can you be quick? I'm in a hurry."

Three folding units would cost five figures, that's really expensive!
But this is for Yun Xinghu, the sect leader, and Uncle Gu Xing, so we have to prepare something good!

As for the others, sorry, we've exceeded the budget!

The saleswoman swore that this was the biggest setback she had ever experienced in her career. Who would have thought that she, a saleswoman, would one day be forced to come up with a book title!
Where can she go to seek justice?!

But...she wants to make money!

So she tried to negotiate with Bailu: "Downloading is definitely not a problem, but changing the title... it's not that I don't want to change it, it's just that my education is really limited, I only graduated from junior high school..." Little trash.

This... Bai Lu really didn't expect it, but she didn't make things too difficult for the clerk. She just said, "Download it, preferably on all three devices at once, I'm in a hurry."

There happened to be three empty computers in the store, and the young lady agreed without hesitation: "Okay! Please pay and issue the invoice over here!"

By scanning a QR code, Bailu spent tens of thousands of yuan in an instant.

In the past, a phone costing 3,000 yuan would have been something to think twice about.

After Bailu paid, the shop assistant quickly arranged the download.

As for changing the book title, the female shop assistant said no, but the group of young boys playing games were very interested!

The bookstore clerk was so embarrassed by the book titles they suggested that she almost dug her toes out of a three-bedroom apartment. But Bailu was very satisfied and gave each of the children who helped come up with the book titles a good luck charm.

She originally wanted to treat them to something to eat and some milk tea, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized she couldn't bear the responsibility if there were any food safety issues, so she used a few of the "Peace and Fortune" drawings that she had already finished but hadn't shipped yet.

The young boy and girl looked at the triangular talisman on their phone and sighed deeply: "Sister, I'm helping for free, no thanks are needed—promoting feudal superstition is illegal!"

The shop assistant pointed to the security camera and nodded at her: "Indeed..."

Egret: "..."

She had no choice but to stuff the amulets into the phone cases of the two boys, then looked at the tall boy and said, "Just treat it as a toy, for peace of mind. Don't go playing in the water these next few days, understand?"

"I heard it, but I can't guarantee it..."

The egret tapped his forehead: "Remember what I said, don't go near the water, or a water ghost might drag you in!"

When Bailu said this, she used a bit of psychological suggestion. Whenever the little boy saw water, he would picture being dragged by a water ghost, but the little boy would just scoff.

Then the older sister reminded her, "Sister, it's wrong to promote feudal superstition, and since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it's forbidden for spirits to exist, so there are no ghosts left!"

Children who grow up under the five-star red flag have a positive outlook on life. Bai Lu didn't say much, took the phone with the download from the shop assistant, and walked out of the phone store amidst her repeated "Welcome to visit again."

Bai Lu came and went in a hurry. It only took her forty-five hours to go back and forth from the cultivation world. If it weren't for the thirty minutes it took to download, she could have scanned the code and left in ten minutes.

She put her body back on the bed in the room, placed the paper bag from the phone shop on the table, and with the three phones in her arms, she returned to the world of cultivation.

As luck would have it, Yun Xinghu happened to be standing where she disappeared, so when she reappeared, she fell right into his arms. Yun Xinghu was startled at first and pushed her away, but when he saw that it was Bai Lu, he strode forward and pulled her into his arms.

"Where did you go..."

Yun Xing whispered softly in Bai Lu's ear, and if you listened carefully, you could hear the fear in his voice. Bai Lu stiffly curled his arms, feeling like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind—

This little brat... could he... like her?!
Yun Xinghu must have noticed that his presence had disappeared and thought something had happened to her, which is why she was so anxious.

But judging from the strength with which he's holding her now, this isn't just ordinary nervousness; it's the lingering fear of having lost and then regained her!
This is an old plot from romance dramas!

Even if a egret hasn't eaten pork, it's seen pigs run. Besides, girls are very perceptive; they can immediately tell whether you're interested in them or not. If she is, she'll give you a chance to confess. If she's not interested, she might reject you or distance herself from you, or she might string you along, making you her sweetheart!

Therefore, the egret wasn't just being presumptuous; she sensed the emotions within that embrace.

But—how could that be!
She has no romantic partner!

Moreover, in her heart, Yun Xinghu is still the child he was more than ten years ago!

To prey on children...how inhuman!
She's not saying she'll necessarily be alone forever. If she meets the right person, having a passionate romance isn't out of the question. Her biggest fear is that she's not skilled enough and gets hooked.

In many novels, the female protagonist who cultivates immortality sends a scumbag to the top of the world, is then tortured to death, and is reborn as a pitiful little girl, starting the story of a powerful woman bravely venturing into a newbie village.

The egret has been reborn more than once, but it can't withstand this kind of torment!
She poked Yun Xinghu with one finger: "You can let go of your brother now!"

"I'm not a younger brother!"

Yun Xinghu obediently placed his hands on Bailu's shoulders and pushed her away from his embrace, staring intently into Bailu's eyes as he spoke earnestly.

Egret: "..."

Her damn charm!

She coughed lightly twice: "Let me show you something! This is for you, and this is for Sect Leader Wang and Uncle Gu Xing. See if you like it."

"like."

Yun Xinghu hadn't even seen the new phone yet, but he started talking about it right away.

Bai Lu was exasperated by this love-struck fool. She opened the small white cover, revealing a bright red phone inside. In terms of appearance, it was indeed extraordinary. Yun Xinghu hadn't lied this time; he genuinely liked it.

"So this is what the phone you were talking about looks like. It's actually quite nice!"

Yun Xinghu said.

He looked closely and found a small gap. He gently pried it open, and the phone became larger. He then fumbled to put the phone back in its original position.

It's quite fun.

“Yes!” Bai Lu’s expression turned serious, and she said, word by word, “I won’t say anything else. I’ll just ask you one question: do you remember what I told you when you were little? What do you want from everything I told you?”

"You can't tell anyone else anything you tell me. It's a little secret that belongs only to the two of us."

Seeing Bailu's serious expression, Yunxinghu also became serious.

"Good boy!" Bai Lu patted his head again: "It's the same from now on. You can't tell anyone about the phone I gave you, and you can't tell anyone about my original world either, including your master, okay?"

"Okay!" Yun Xinghu nodded emphatically: "Then you have to tell me before you go home, I'll be worried if I can't find you!"

".good!"

Bai Lu felt a strange sense of guilt, but she quickly dismissed it from her mind.

She silently took out her cell phone as well—anything she carried with her could be brought from the modern world if she had the will, but her cell phone had no signal here.

But that didn't stop her from teaching Yunxing how to operate the device.

Compared to Bai Lu's phone, which cost less than three thousand yuan and had been used for over a year, the five-figure new phone is simply not in the same league. Not to mention the old phone that Bai Jiang and Qin Xiu, the three siblings, had discarded and were too disdainful to even pick up.

"This is?"

Yun Xinghu watched as Bai Lu unlocked the phone with her fingerprint. The wallpaper that lit up was a picture of a payment code, a special wallpaper that Bai Chen had set for the three of them.

The three siblings changed their phone wallpapers to their respective WeChat payment codes, saying it would bring them wealth. Bailu, seeing his enthusiastic expression, didn't dampen his spirits, even though she knew it wouldn't actually bring them wealth!

But she doesn't care what wallpaper she uses.

Bai Lu said, "These are screen lock and app lock. Without a password or fingerprint, no one can unlock your phone."

"Oh—" Yun Xinghu looked at the phone in his hand, which had no spiritual energy fluctuations, and thought to himself, "It's my phone, of course no one else has a chance to open it, so why do I need to set a password?"
—In the cultivation world, touching their things without permission is considered a provocation, and Bai Lu once thought this was their excuse to fight.

Following Bailu's instructions, Yun Xinghu lightly swiped his well-defined fingers up the phone screen. With a soft click, the phone turned on. Looking at the different colored squares, he remembered what Bailu had told customers at the market and asked, "Which one is the camera?"

"this!"

Bai Lu glanced at him. Little brat, so he watched the whole thing. He's quite composed, hiding quietly for so long before finally showing himself!

Yun Xinghu opened the camera and saw the sand on the ground. He shook the phone, but the image still showed sand. He then flipped the phone over and looked at Bailu: "How do I take a selfie?"

"Are you going to take a selfie?"

Bai Lu turned on the front-facing camera, and Yun Xinghu's handsome face immediately came closer: "Can we...take a picture?"

"sure!"

Bai Lu paused for a moment, adjusted the angle, and took a close-up photo of the two of them together.

Looking at the smiling egret in the photo, Yun Xinghu's lips unconsciously curled up as well. If only he had a cell phone earlier, he wouldn't have been so lonely during his nine years in the secret realm.

The most basic and frequently used functions of modern people on mobile phones, such as phone calls, calendars, time, and weather, are all unusable in the cultivation world, since our system of dates and times is different from theirs.

It has to be said that a phone that can't connect to the internet is really a waste of its potential.

Therefore, the staff at Bailu Store could put to good use the hundreds of novels, movies, TV series, and several casual games that didn't require an internet connection, such as Candy Crush, 2048, and Tetris, that they had downloaded.

Lifespan in the cultivation world is extremely long; there's plenty of time for cultivation and plenty of time for leisure.

Bai Lu opened the match-3 game, originally intending to demonstrate how to play to Yun Xinghu, but gradually she became addicted to the game herself.

Unbelievable!

This little game is so addictive, you can't stop playing it!
This is a really bad post, does anyone have any suggestions on how to approach it?
