Chapter 125

I hope Bai Bufan won't use dirty brotherly love to defile pure money next time.

This is naked blasphemy.

After the horseplay, the three decided to follow the choice of the majority of the class and head to the most famous comprehensive shopping center in Pingjiang.

On the way to the commercial center, the three of them couldn't keep their eyes from darting around.

A big city is a big city; the prosperity is incomparable to little Xiling. With heavy traffic and neon lights, it was clearly night, yet it was as bright as day.

Whether it's day or not isn't actually important, but they are all truly fair-skinned.

That's the good thing about summer; everyone wears less clothing.

However, girls still need to pay attention to safety at times like this. Often there are "down-bad" men following them; Lin Li lost one last time.

"I've decided, I must work hard to stay and work in a big city like Pingjiang in the future!" A light called longing lit up in Zhou Baowei's eyes.

"Pets are not allowed inside here," Bai Bufan said, pointing to the sign of a shop nearby.

"Zoos only open in the suburbs, Baowei, give up." Lin Li also nodded.

Zhou Baowei: "..."

These two guys' mouths were still performing steadily.

Feeling like if you licked the corner of their mouths, you could poison yourself to death.

"Damn, is that big sister a rich woman? How come I feel that guy she's holding hands with is handsome?" Bai Bufan pointed at a young couple not far away, whispering his complaints as the woman was middle-aged but the boyfriend was young and handsome.

"The flower language of steel wool is endurance and wealth." Zhou Baowei also took a look, then sighed.

"Anyway, I wouldn't wrong myself like that for money," Bai Bufan curled his lips. "Even if you gave me two million, it wouldn't work."

"What if the rich woman tops up your Genshin Impact monthly card every month?" Lin Li added.

"Reject juvenile aesthetics, starting from you and me. You guys don't understand the charm of my old baby," Bai Bufan immediately said seriously and sincerely. "If it's a Genshin monthly card, then I'm willing to do anything."

Primogems are equivalent to US dollars; Bai Bufan's judgment is understandable.

The three of them went on like this, speculating and complaining about passersby with the greatest malice without any manners.

After walking into the comprehensive shopping center, the three began to look for shops they were interested in.

"A big city is a big city; these prices are more 'big city' than the last." The three walked out of a gift shop empty-handed.

The prices were all over budget.

Feels inferior to Pinduoduo.

"I can only say I wanted to spend money on the cutting edge, but found that life is full of cutting edges everywhere." Lin Li also sighed.

As a cultivator, being trapped by worldly gold and silver to this day is truly pitiful.

A sensible system should have exploded gold coins for him by now.

But this system is still not sensible.

"Do big city Coca-Colas have blind boxes now? I can afford this." When the three passed a vending machine, Bai Bufan stopped.

Beside them was a machine that didn't display any drinks, just question marks. Three yuan could buy one, which could dispense a random Coca-Cola product. In an era where 500ml already sells for four yuan, it seems the cost-performance ratio is okay. However, the machine noted that the drinks were near-expiry products, but they would never be expired.

As a Coke partisan, Bai Bufan immediately excitedly went up to scan the code.

And as a Pepsi partisan, Zhou Baowei covered his nose as if he had seen a portable toilet.

The two often attacked each other on this point, one saying Pepsi is toilet cleaner, the other saying Coke is fermented urine.

As for whether Lin Li is a Coke partisan or a Pepsi partisan, it depends on whose cola is closer to Lin Li between Bufan and Baowei.

"Lin Li, do you want to drink?" Bai Bufan asked while scanning the code.

Lin Li nodded: "Sure."

"What is Pepsi?" Bai Bufan asked.

"Toilet cleaner!"

Gentlemen, Lin Li is a Coke partisan.

"Good, then I'll buy two bottles." Bai Bufan was very satisfied.

Clang, clang—the chilled drinks fell out.

Bai Bufan took them out with a giggle.

Ice Dew (Chunyue).

Suggested retail price: two yuan.

Bai Bufan: "?"

He squinted at the machine. So it's a Coca-Cola Company product, not a Coca-Cola product?

Doesn't matter, a small loss isn't a loss. There's one more bottle.

Ice Dew (Binglu).

Suggested retail price: one yuan. The god of air-bottle-cap cannons.

"Baowei, you're right, Coca-Cola is fermented urine." Bai Bufan picked up the drink, and while handing the Ice Dew to Lin Li, he said to Zhou Baowei with a blank expression.

The century-old reconciliation between the Coke partisan and the Pepsi partisan—this blind box machine deserves the credit.

"Let's go, there's a Lego flagship store over there. Let's go take a look and feast our eyes." After buying drinks, the three continued to browse the shopping center.

【Pingjiang Secret Realm broken. While digesting the gains and losses, you surprisingly encounter a hidden master of the Thunder Dao preaching and teaching in the mortal world.

Since you have obtained this opportunity, why not go immediately and learn a thing or two?】

【Limited-time mission triggered!】

【Mission 2: Within one hour, have a friendly sparring session with the Thunder Dao master beside you. Show your perseverance and unyielding spirit, never admit defeat, and heroically pass the other party's trial.】

【Mission Reward: Physique Improvement: Clear-Righteous Thunder-Driving Body effect increased by 100%; System Currency * 50.】

"Stop for a second."

Lin Li, who was walking leisurely on the road, stopped his steps and shouted to Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei.

"What's wrong?" The two stopped and turned back, asking with some confusion.

Thunder Dao master, who?

Didn't Brother Xin already go in?

Lin Li turned his head and looked at the place where he had just triggered the mission.

It was a mother-and-baby supply store.

But Lin Li's gaze was locked on the advertising stand at the entrance.

"Now offering childbirth pain experience! Just collect 18 likes to experience it for free! Complete the experience and get coupons and physical rewards!"

And behind the advertising stand, through the transparent glass, one could see a middle-aged man sitting next to a childbirth pain experience machine, quietly waiting for a fated person.

You motherfucker call this a Thunder Method sparring session.

Although the method of this experience is indeed simulated through electricity.

But only I get shocked, right?

However, Lin Li had heard of childbirth pain, even though he had never experienced it. It's level ten on the pain scale! You have to know that severe fractures or large-area burns only count as level nine!

Let me heroically pass the trial?

Will I win? I'm dead for sure.

I'm sorry, I didn't let the childbirth pain experience machine master use his full strength.

But the reward is quite good. The improvement in the effect of the Clear-Righteous Thunder-Driving Body brings visible changes to the Thunder Method, which is also his only means of becoming an immortal at present.

And since the mission is here, it's impossible for Lin Li not to try.

"Why aren't you talking?" Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei behind him came to Lin Li's side and looked at this advertising board with him.

And the Thunder Dao master behind the glass seemed to have noticed the three, had already stood up, and showed a smile of waiting for a fated person.

"It's free, we can afford to consume it. What do you say?" Lin Li asked the two.

Still the same saying: when he's going to die, Lin Li tries his best to drag his brothers to die with him.

"Looking for trouble? Although I haven't experienced it, it must be really painful, right? I'm afraid of pain, I don't want to do it." Bai Bufan was the first to be a coward.

"This doesn't start at level ten; it starts from level one and slowly increases. If you can't hold on, just surrender. It's just for fun anyway," Lin Li said.

Bai Bufan felt it made sense upon hearing this. It wasn't like those amusement park projects where there's no turning back, so he became interested again.

"If you try first, I can play along. But this thing requires posting on Moments to collect likes, so troublesome," Zhou Baowei said.

"Eighteen is fine. Just have Wang Ze and the others like it for us and that's it." Lin Li had already started scanning the code to post on Moments.

First, he blocked his mom and some relatives who would definitely ask questions after seeing it, plus Old Jian-tou. After sending it, he sent messages in the boys' group, the gaming group, and the four-person group he just joined today, asking them to like it for him.

"Ding Sihan:?"

"Ding Sihan: I'm going to check it out now. You better keep your promise and not post that kind of photoshopped picture, otherwise this will be your last message in this group."

A few seconds later.

"Ding Sihan:????"

"Ding Sihan: Already started buying mother-and-baby supplies? Have you already thought about the child's affairs? Where did you get me to? Is this still 2024? @Chen Yuying."

"Qu Wanqiu: Have you chosen the cemetery?"

"Chen Yuying:?"

Because the Moments post was actually an advertisement for this mother-and-baby supply store, that's why Ding Sihan had this question.

Lin Li explained a bit and incidentally asked them to call the other three roommates to like it for him too.

"Chen Yuying: Liked it. Why did you suddenly want to experience this?"

"Lin Li: Because I've heard that childbirth is very painful for girls, but the hardships of ten months of pregnancy and the toil of childbirth—I've heard it ten thousand times and it's meaningless; I can't empathize at all. Now that I have the chance, I want to try it. This way, the future me can better understand the difficulties of girls and achieve better empathy."

"Chen Yuying: 'Bear nodding emoji'."

"Ugh—"

"Ugh—"

Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei on the side couldn't help but start to feel nauseous after seeing Lin Li type such disgusting text.

"Lin Li, you really are a motherfucker who speaks human language to humans, ghost language to ghosts, and barks to dogs." After vomiting, Bai Bufan looked at Lin Li with contempt.

Facing Bai Bufan's contempt, Lin Li sneered and looked at him: "Woof woof woof."

Bai Bufan: "..."

"Damn!!"

Lin Li looked at Zhou Baowei, who had started slapping his thighs and laughing wildly: "Oink oink oink!"

Zhou Baowei: "..."

"Damn!!"

18 likes really isn't much. For students who haven't entered society, it's even simpler. With the assistance of the boys and the six people in Chen Yuying's dorm, they reached it quickly.

A pig and a dog beside him also agreed to experience it together, but the premise was that Lin Li had to play first; the two of them wanted to see the feedback before making a decision.

The three Lin Li looked at each other, nodded, and walked toward the entrance of the mother-and-baby store.

"Come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Lin Li hadn't even shown his screenshot of the likes yet, and the Thunder Dao master, who had been watching the three through the glass, had already stepped forward expectantly.

Hearing this, Lin Li also stepped forward dashingly.

Having easily passed the eight items in Pingjiang, today I will come to fight you with the Thunder Method!

Old thing, explode the lightning!
