It's just a grocery store.

I slept from midnight until I woke up naturally at ten in the morning. Although I said I woke up naturally, the hunger in my stomach seemed to indicate that I was woken up by hunger. After all, I didn’t have dinner last night. I just took a shower with my last bit of stubbornness and fell asleep under the quilt.

At midnight, I got out of bed with a messy hair, washed up, and then made a bowl of the simplest egg noodle soup in the kitchen. I ate it mouthful by mouthful for a while before I slowly started working.

I just messed with those two little brats yesterday, and they probably won't come again today, so I can have some personal time again. I was so excited at midnight. I didn't have to go to work, and I'd already earned points. If I wasn't slacking off, what was I waiting for?

At midnight, he quickly rushed back to his room upstairs, turned on his computer and entered the chat room. This chat room was created by him before, and the so-called "I am submissive in real life, but I will fight hard online" was the answer.

Lingshi's social anxiety makes him look like a gangster on the Internet. He doesn't let go of anyone he's interested in and tries to chat with them all and become their friends.

The chat room was flooded with crazy emoticons and message bombs. The amazing hand speed made the number of direct messages in the chat room reach 99+, until someone sent a message to interrupt the crazyness of Zero Hour.

[Coffee Jelly]: What's wrong with you?

[Zero is not zero]: Yeah, little jelly, you are here, kissing, sticking, and squishing~

[Coffee Jelly]: ...

[I'm here]: This guy is obviously idle, don't pay attention to him.

[Zero is not zero]: Wow, the little peacock is going too far, I can see it!

[I’m here]: Don’t call me little peacock, you bastard!

[Coffee Jelly]: I'm leaving.

[Zero is not zero]: No, no, don’t go~

[The Little Wanderer on the Roof]: Ling-kun is back, is the work done?

[Zero is not Zero]: You are still the best, woohoo, they don’t care about me.

[The little wanderer on the roof]: Haha, they came back so quickly, they must be worried about Ling-kun too.

[I’m here]: I’m not worried. In this guy’s words, it’s a disaster that will last for thousands of years.

[Coffee Jelly]: It has extremely strong and difficult vitality.

[Zero is not zero]: It’s okay for the little peacock, but even the little jelly said that… (?﹏?)

[Little wanderer on the roof]: Well, stop making trouble...

When Ling Shi was still chatting with everyone in the chat room, a private message from another account lit up. Ling Shi looked over and saw that it was about work. He said something in the group and went to reply to the message.

[Grocery Store]: What do you want?

[Fox]: Do you have a method to treat a critically ill patient?

[Grocery Store]: What do you want to trade?

[Fox]: It's up to you, whatever you want!

[Grocery Store]: Tomorrow afternoon at 1:40, we'll meet at this location to discuss. (Location)

[Fox]: Okay.

Lingshi stretched, exited the chat box directly, and then called out the system.

The weasel landed in front of the desk, stared at the contents on the screen for a while, and then responded that the transaction record was successful. He immediately felt relieved and prepared for tomorrow's meeting. All transactions recorded in the system were considered contracts. At that time, no matter which party broke the contract, they would be forced to trade.

But it's a terminal illness. Which genius would think of coming to me for treatment? I'm just a grocery store owner, not a doctor.

Lingshi sneered, but didn't care much. Although he really couldn't cure diseases, he did have the ability to restore the dying.

I don’t know who spread the news, but it’s not a big deal for Lingshi. It’s just a job and it doesn’t affect him at all.

The next day, Zero Hour disguised himself, namely by wearing his shielding glasses, so that no one could remember his appearance.

You have to wear it every time you do this kind of work, otherwise it would be a big trouble if you were targeted by some organization. I almost suffered this loss at the beginning, but fortunately someone solved this little problem for me.

I walked to the agreed place at midnight and saw a few boys standing there. I confirmed it. Fox, is it the one with silver-blue hair?

He looked familiar, so he confirmed the customer with the system at zero time, then walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

Zero Hour: "Little Fox Friend?"

The boy was startled and looked like a little animal with its fur standing on end. He was about the same age as Matsuda and the others.

Lingshi took a look at him and invited him to a quiet coffee shop nearby to talk. On the way, the child honestly told Lingshi his name, Niou Masaharu.

Zero Hour: "So where is the patient Niou-kun wants to cure?"

Niou: "Do you really have a solution?"

Lingshi: "Is there any way? You have to let me know the patient's information. Since you can contact me, you should know me."

Of course, Niou Masaharu knew about Zero Hour. He heard about it in a chat room. Although he treated it as a joke at the time, when his friend got into trouble, he remembered this store and inexplicably came to it.

Ren Wang didn't know what was going on with him. It was clearly an unconfirmed rumor, but he believed it and asked for help. Was he desperate and trying anything?

Niou's mind is in a mess now. He can't find a way to explain his behavior today. Instead, he is thinking about whether he should take Reitoki to see Yukimura, in case he can really cure Buchou.

Zero Hour: "Niou-kun, have you considered this?"

It didn't matter whether he had considered it or not, he had just waited too long, and Zero's coffee was finished. He also probably recalled Niou's identity and confirmed the identity of the person he wanted to save this time.

As if he had made up his mind, Niou suddenly stood up and said:

"Let's go."

I finally thought it over. After all, I was really bored of waiting, so I stood up and left with my hands in my pockets.

On the way, Niwang didn't say anything, but kept typing on his mobile phone. Lingshi didn't speak either, but communicated with the system in his mind. The two of them didn't look up and stop until they reached the hospital door. Niwang looked up from his mobile phone and looked at Lingshi, as if he had made up his mind.

As he entered the hospital, the smell of disinfectant rushed into his nose. Lingshi just frowned and didn't say anything. Under the guidance of Niwang, he walked into a ward where a beauty was sitting on the bed.

It's no exaggeration. When Ling Shi saw the person on the bed, he also opened his eyes wide. This is simply a beauty attack. For Ling Shi, who has only seen paper people, it is a bit too stimulating.

It's you, Yukimura Seiichi, who needs treatment. Reiji calmed down, stepped forward, and extended his hand to introduce himself. Yukimura politely returned the handshake, then released it. Despite his inner excitement, Reiji immediately switched to work mode and requested a private chat with Yukimura Seiichi. Yukimura nodded at Niou's puzzled gaze, and he left with a timid look.

As usual, Lingshi opened the barrier. Yukimura seemed to notice that someone was looking at him. Lingshi smiled at him. Finally, there was a bit of hope in Yukimura's eyes. The barrier was opened to ensure the privacy of the transaction between the two parties.

Zero Hour: "As my real guest, what do you want?"

Yukimura: "What I want, of course, is to get back on the tennis court."

Lingshi: "I have three options for you. It depends on your choice."

"The first one is a professional treatment process, which takes a long time, is safe, and has a low cost. The second one is to get rid of the disease, which takes a short time, is safe, and has a high cost. The third one is something you probably won't accept, so I won't talk about it."

What Zero Time proposed were actually the most basic transactions. But if it was just to cure an illness, he could solve it by exchanging items from the points mall. But why not? Because there was no need. Zero Time had no reason to pay for Yukimura, and the deal had been made. Even if he regretted it, he would be punished.

And Yukimura would most likely choose the second option. He couldn't wait. How could a traveler who finally saw a source of water give up on it just because someone said to save it for last? Because who could be sure that this wouldn't be the last time?

Yukimura: "Can you really do this?"

Zero Hour: "It seems you've already made your choice. The price is very high."

Yukimura: "So what's the price?"

Zero Hour: "Depending on my mood, I suggest you choose the first one."

In the end, Zero Time couldn't get over the inner torment. He always couldn't stand these things. Why should such a proud boy receive such unfair treatment? Zero Time's dissatisfaction reached the limit, and he wanted to help Yukimura Seiichi.
