Chapter 146: I don't play with people who are not three or four, two-B
This is not a takeout car heading to the store at all, but a hearse heading to the crematorium.
Shen Kai turned over and got off the car immediately, looking at Lin Li with palpitations: "Lin Li, can you drive an electric bike!!"
If it is for one hundred and fifty, it is not worth it to have a car accident, after all, one hundred and fifty can't even buy a good bone ash box.
"Shen brother, I can drive, but it's been a few years since I drove last time, and I forgot a little." Lin Li said hurriedly.
To be precise, as long as someone knows how to ride a bicycle, it is impossible for them not to know how to ride an electric scooter.
Lin Li basically mastered the electric scooter in one second, but because the school didn't allow students to ride electric scooters to and from school, his family hadn't configured one at all, and he really hadn't ridden one in too long.
For a moment, he really had no impression of it; he was a bit rusty.
Lin Li twisted the handlebars backward and rode around Shen Kai a few times. Only after seeing Lin Li's expression gradually become calm and confirming he could indeed drive did Shen Kai relax a little.
"Ride slower, no rush. Safety first, delivering food second." Shen Kai got back on the backseat behind Lin Li and took off the helmet he had given Lin Li, putting it back on his own head: "If a traffic cop comes, remind me, then you get off and walk for a bit."
Lin Li: "..."
Damn.
Taking the helmet back to wear on your own head is too realistic, brother.
However, Lin Li really found the feeling. Even though he hadn't ridden an electric scooter for several years, after driving for less than a minute just now, he inexplicably felt very proficient.
Looking at the 【Panel】's Mecha Synchronization Index of 40, Lin Li was a bit suspicious: if a bus could count as a mecha, could an electric scooter also count as a mecha, and would his sense of proficiency come from this BUFF?
But if it could count, wouldn't he trigger some quest for his first time personally piloting a mecha?
Figuring out the system's logic was too difficult. Suppressing these questions for which he couldn't find answers for the time being, Lin Li still chose to head to the pickup point at a steady speed.
"Lin Li, but there's no need for us to be this slow. That bicycle just passed us."
As a delivery rider racing against time, after discovering that Lin Li was overly steady, Shen Kai, who was doing this kind of speed for the first time, felt itchy and uncomfortable all over.
"Oh, oh, then I'll speed up a bit."
"Brother Shen, why does your map have notes?" Lin Li wasn't very familiar with some roads, so he was driving while looking at the map, only to find that there were actually markings on the software's map.
"Reminding each other, helping each other out," Shen Kai replied upon hearing this.
Lin Li tapped it open to make the notes more obvious:
"This residential complex has no elevator; be cautious with food delivery and errands on high floors."
"The security guard is a bit of an idiot, but there is a small gate on the right side of the north gate that you can enter through; basically no one cares."
"The shop is slow to prepare food."
"If you take an order from 9644 surnamed Liang, be very, very careful. He is a gay man! He asked me to hang the takeout on his handle! If you encounter his order, be very careful!"
Lin Li: "..."
What is a "human handle"?
Multitasking is not advisable. Lin Li focused on riding. Shortly after, he arrived. The pickup shop was called Xiying Breakfast, and he then walked in with Shen Kai.
"Is the order for 43 ready?" Lin Li asked after entering the door.
At Lin Li's request, the whole process was only carried out by Lin Li; Shen Kai's main role was to be a bystander.
"Wait a moment, this one needs to be steamed fresh; it will be ready in a while." The boss hadn't finished making it yet and waved his hand upon hearing this.
"Okay." The two sat on chairs inside the shop. Lin Li was bored, so he glanced at the customer information. The name only had a surname, and the phone number was incomplete, but he could see the notes. He then said with some surprise: "Did I actually take a birthday order for the first order today?"
He saw the note read: "Today is my birthday, can you send a tea egg?"
"Brother Shen, you say if we wish him a happy birthday in a moment, can we get an extra positive review?" Lin Li asked curiously.
However, before Shen Kai could answer, he heard the boss chuckle: "No need, he has already had his birthday dozens of times this year."
Lin Li: "..."
Understood.
"It's like this. Some customers' notes are the same as some web novel authors' reasons for taking leave; no need to pay attention to them." Shen Kai was experienced and nodded quite calmly upon hearing this.
However, steaming it fresh was indeed a bit too slow.
After waiting for several minutes, the work phone Lin Li was holding for Shen Kai vibrated.
"0223: Why have you been motionless since arriving at the shop?"
"Shen Kai: 【Image】, hello, this one is being steamed fresh, it's not ready yet."
"0223: But I'm so hungry."
"Shen Kai: Then why don't you order some takeout to tide you over?"
"0223:?"
"0223: Guess what I'm doing right now?"
"Shen Kai: Is there a reward if I guess right? I guess you're chatting with me on an empty stomach."
"0223:?"
"If I get a negative review, remember to help me pay the fine." Shen Kai, who was observing Lin Li's reply from the side, spoke after a long silence.
Damn.
Lin Li suddenly remembered that the quest description also required him to complete it "perfectly." Having subconsciously acted out of line, Lin Li hurriedly tried to find a way to make up for it:
"Shen Kai: Happy birthday, brother."
"0223: Thanks. Then brother, can you send me an extra tea egg?"
Lin Li: "..."
What kind of tea egg immortal is this?
Is his life's wish just to eat a tea egg?
"You're really going to send it to him? Are you doing charity, Lin Li?" Shen Kai was dumbfounded after seeing Lin Li reply, "Okay, I'll pay out of pocket for the shop to add one for you."
"Just consider it for Brother Shen's positive review rate." Lin Li didn't care about this one or two yuan; the core goal was to ensure the quest was completed.
"It's ready." After nearly five more minutes, the boss finally finished packing and placed the package with the seal on the front desk.
Lin Li stepped forward, and after confirming that there would be no spills while carrying it, he picked it up carefully.
Because he had been rained on, he wanted to hold an umbrella for others.
After all, takeout spills really affect one's mood, especially when one has been waiting for a long time.
Because there was only one order, Lin Li simply let Shen Kai carry it, and they drove all the way to the residential complex where the customer was located.
"This complex is very remote, but I see someone put a tag on it: the security guard is a dog and there's no elevator. This order is a real loss." Getting off the bike with Lin Li, Shen Kai commented.
The tag was correct; the security guard was a dog. Upon seeing Lin Li and Shen Kai, it seemed not quite awake early in the morning, wagged its tail, flipped over, and continued to sleep. It really was quite skillful.
"Brother, remember to give a positive review. I spent two yuan to add a tea egg for you; a five-star review isn't too much to ask, right?" After knocking on the door and waiting for the other party to open it, Lin Li said while handing over the takeout.
"You really gave it? I'll give you a positive review right now. Thank you so much, I will be happy all day because of this tea egg." Upon hearing this, the other party immediately took out his phone and said, moved.

Plan successful.
It seems he doesn't need his own rider account.
Then this quest doesn't need to wait until he is an adult to be completed.
"Let's go, Brother Shen, let's continue delivering food!" Thinking of this, everything today had value and meaning, Lin Li said with high fighting spirit.
Shen Kai, on the other hand, widened his eyes, looking at the high-spirited Lin Li with full confusion.
He spent half an hour and earned four yuan and sixty cents, and it was for him, Shen Kai. Lin Li himself even paid two yuan out of pocket, yet he was still this happy and joyful?
What kind of natural-born delivery body is this?
Gradually figuring out the ropes, Lin Li became increasingly handy at delivering. However, the only small problem was that after the breakfast peak period passed, there were very few orders.
Lin Li even went to take an errand order because of this.
Three big buckets, no elevator, sixth floor.
Lin Li didn't want to talk about the rest; he was too tired to speak.
Originally, his only consolation was that the customer's voice was very pleasant, and he thought he could at least feast his eyes.
As a result, after the door opened, he found it was a voice produced by fat-compressed vocal cords.
No wonder a woman living alone dared to open the door.
Lin Li was exhausted, while Shen Kai was having a blast. After all, he didn't have to do the moving—Lin Li said he wanted to experience it on his own, but the money was still earned by him, especially since the customer even tipped twenty yuan.
Shen Kai therefore also despised Lin Li for judging people by their appearance.

However, I don't know if it was because they didn't give a positive review immediately, or if the customer wasn't really satisfied, but even though he completed seven orders, the system interface only showed 5.
No harm done.
Lin Li was squatting in front of the interface grabbing orders when his own phone in his pocket vibrated.
Someone was calling him.
Mom.
"Hey, Sister Min, what's up?" Seeing the contact nickname, Lin Li asked carelessly.
Lin Li's mother's name was Wu Min. When Lin Li needed something from his mother, he called her "dear mother"; when he didn't, he randomly switched between "Mom," "Old Mom," and "Sister Min."
"I'm home, why aren't you home?"
The sound of slippers slapping on the tile floor came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm out playing with friends." It turned out Wu Min had returned home. Explaining that he was delivering food would require too much explanation, and Lin Li was too lazy to explain, so a simple lie was more convenient.
"Didn't you just come back from the autumn outing yesterday? Why are you out playing again? Among the people you're playing with, there aren't any weird people with all sorts of bad habits, right?" Wu Min asked with concern upon hearing this.
"There are." Lin Li thought for a moment and nodded.
Wu Min: "?"
She just asked casually, and there really are? When did this kid become so honest?
"Then why are you still out playing with them? Come back to me right now!" Wu Min's voice went up an octave.
"That's gone."
"What's gone?"
"Among the group of us playing, the weird people with all sorts of bad habits are gone."
Wu Min: "?"
