Chapter 148

The review for part-time jobs like crowdsourcing was quite fast, and the results came out in the afternoon.

And during the novice period, there was no need to pay any deposit or anything. No wonder crowdsourcing on the internet is the absolute boss; after all, the worst that can happen is getting banned.

Your rider is attacking your takeout.

Although Lin Li's family didn't have an electric scooter, there were rental places in the complex. It was 500 yuan a month including battery replacements, but for Lin Li, who planned to rent by the day, the price was 30 yuan a day.

There should really be delivery riders who choose to rent electric scooters to deliver food; there were even models that came with thermal bags and Meituan helmets, all as a set.

It actually saved Lin Li a lot of effort.

As for the surprise audits Shen Kai mentioned, Lin Li also found a way to crack them on the internet. He only needed to ensure that when settling a certain order, there were other orders as well, so the system wouldn't pop up this kind of check that might affect the delivery.

The check gave a five-minute preparation time. As long as he arrived downstairs at his home when completing the last order, he could then click "delivered," and during this time, he could take it to his mom for verification.

It didn't matter if an accident happened; the worst case was getting banned. If the appeal failed, he would look for Shen Kai again. If he couldn't find him, he would wait until he was an adult. There would always be a way.

"I'm riding my beloved sewing machine~~ It will never disconnect~~" Singing a little tune, Lin Li spent the whole afternoon delivering food in this way.

By the time the sunset on the horizon had completely set and the city's streetlights were already on, the progress bar had reached eleven.

It wasn't that Lin Li only delivered 6 orders in an afternoon, but in order to control the number of orders, sometimes he had clearly arrived but couldn't click "delivered," which would lead the platform to default to overtime and give a negative review.

And these orders were not recognized by the system. Plus, Lin Li was a novice and wasn't familiar with exploring addresses, which led to many orders being wasted like this.

So the completion rate was even lower than in the morning, but there was no way around it; it was unavoidable.

It was also through "On-Time Treasure" that he scattered wealth to accumulate virtue.

However, even at the current efficiency, this quest could definitely be completed during this holiday, which had already met expectations.

Lin Li's luck was also okay. The current takeout system was quite perfect, and he didn't encounter any "Aminos" property management.

"After delivering these two orders, let's call it a day." After arriving at the address for this order and seeing his mom urging him to go home for dinner on his phone, Lin Li decided.

After registering with the security guard, Lin Li walked into the complex while making a phone call.

"Lin Li? Why are you calling me? Are you trying to provoke me too, damn it?" As soon as Lin Li got through, he was met with a barrage of curses.

Huh?

This voice, is it Baowei?

Lin Li looked at his order again; the customer information did indeed have the surname Zhou.

Lin Li didn't know it was Zhou Baowei when he called because the number he could see was encrypted, and his phone didn't show any notes.

"No, I just missed you." After a greeting, Lin Li hung up the phone decisively.

His stomach did indeed feel a bit hungry.

Thank you, Baowei.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The door was knocked on. It seemed the takeout he ordered had arrived. Zhou Baowei, who had studied until midnight last night and was forced by himself to continue studying after waking up and eating lunch, immediately walked to the door excitedly.

Food was his only salvation in this godforsaken world of involutionary learning.

Zhou Baowei opened the door.

"Hello (chew, chew, chew) sir, your (chew, chew, chew) takeout (chew, chew, chew)."

The delivery rider with a mouth full of crumbs reached out, and a light takeout bag floated to Zhou Baowei's feet.

His salvation seemed to have turned into the shape of someone else's large intestine.

Don't do this kind of thing.

"Boom—"

The door was closed.

Zhou Baowei took a deep breath. Damn it, learning is really something you can't get addicted to. Once you get addicted, your life is really over. He just saw Lin Li, the culprit, just now.

He became his delivery rider and was also attacking his takeout at the same time.

It must be that the way he opened it was wrong.

Deep breath, and then Zhou Baowei opened the door again.

"Your damn! Lin Li! Why is it really you!" After confirming again, Zhou Baowei roared.

"Being so arrogant and using dirty words, is no one at home? No wonder you ordered takeout. Then I'll come in and sit for a while."

Lin Li continued to chew, chew, chew. After keenly noticing this, he took off his shoes and entered the door without hesitation, sat on the sofa in the living room, and then said with a look of disgust:

"Baowei, it's not that I'm talking about you, is this chicken cutlet a shop problem or a taste problem? It's too salty. And you didn't even pair it with a drink? To be honest, I'm a bit thirsty now. Does your house have any drinks? Remember, it's a drink, don't give me plain water, okay? Hurry up and bring it to me, preferably iced."

Looking at Lin Li, who was eating the chicken cutlet in his mouth while his hand was fumbling on the living room coffee table to stuff snacks into his pocket, Zhou Baowei fell into silence again.

Is this your house?

I'm asking you, is this your house?

"Why don't you let me stuff two hundred yuan into your pocket when you leave?" Zhou Baowei said through gritted teeth.

"That's so embarrassing, but I can't refuse your kindness. Thank you." Lin Li showed a shy smile, and then used his fingers to stretch out his pants pocket: "Stuff it now, I'm afraid you'll forget when I leave later."

Zhou Baowei: "..."

Not a clone, the real Lin Li. You... 【censored】.

It would have been better if it had been Lin Li instead of Fan Zeng who assisted Xiang Yu back then; after all, having Lin Li means Chu wins.

But Zhou Baowei went to the refrigerator, took out a can of iced coconut juice, and threw it to Lin Li.

"I won't drink it for free. I'll share half the chicken cutlet with you." Lin Li, who was already stuffing snacks from the coffee table into his mouth, didn't have time to worry about the chicken cutlet. After handing it to Zhou Baowei, he said vaguely.

"This damn thing was mine to begin with!" After shouting, Zhou Baowei sat next to him, sighed helplessly, and took out his phone: "I have to order another one again."

"Wait a second!" Lin Li, who was drinking coconut juice, immediately spoke, then quickly brought up the order-grabbing interface, and nodded to Zhou Baowei: "You can place the order now."

Zhou Baowei: "..."

He put his phone away again.

If this order were grabbed by Lin Li, Zhou Baowei would swear on his excess fat that Lin Li would definitely deliver it to his hands in perfect condition the first time.

He didn't even dare to order takeout. Zhou Baowei questioned: "So why are you delivering food, Lin Li?"

"Experiencing life, it's fun to deliver." Lin Li explained, "By the way, I've already clicked 'delivered' for this chicken cutlet order. Give me a five-star review immediately, hurry up."

"You damn attacked my takeout and still want me to give you a positive review?" Zhou Baowei sneered, suddenly realizing that he had a chance for revenge.

While sneering, he also hid his phone behind his back.

His anticipation was very correct because Lin Li's next step was to grab it.

"Baowei, I'm doing this to help you lose weight. This chicken cutlet is high in oil and calories, which is bad for your health. You really should lose weight, Baowei. Do you know? I only know five fat people in total, and you alone account for four of them. In a few months, it will be the New Year. I don't want to lose you during the Spring Festival, so you must lose weight."

Finding that he hadn't grabbed it, Lin Li persuaded him earnestly.

Zhou Baowei: "..."

Damn.

You know five fat people, and I account for four?

Lin Li's attack language this time was a bit too heaven-defying. Zhou Baowei himself almost couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

As a comrade-in-arms who had spent countless morning study sessions singing together, Bai Bufan knew Lin Li's singing level very well. It was good, but it definitely shouldn't be *this* good.

Did he practice behind his back? Did he secretly attend other morning study sessions?

You dog.

Noticing Bai Bufan's gaze and his expression, which looked like he'd swallowed a fly, Lin Li felt secretly delighted.

Zhou Baowei was just about to continue sneering, but he suddenly discovered a blind spot, and his eyes gradually lit up: "Lin Li, didn't you study today?"

"No, I've been delivering food all day. Why are you suddenly concerned about my studies?" Lin Li shook his head.

But he would go to study for an hour later because the three CDs of 【Strong Memory】 were about to accumulate full again.

"Nothing, nothing, hahaha—" Zhou Baowei laughed with relief.

At this moment, he even wanted to cry a little.

Because before this moment, he even thought Lin Li had been studying hard at home all day long.

The hardship here is not enough to be told to outsiders.

Lin Li frowned.

He found that the gaze Zhou Baowei was looking at him with had inexplicably become kind.

Are you sick?

"Is what's on the table enough to eat? If not, I'll go to the room and get some of my collection." Zhou Baowei said gently.

"Give me a positive review first." Lin Li didn't forget his original intention.

"No problem, I'll give it now. Although it's hard to give it to you, it all came out. Ahhhhh! Catch it all for me, Lin Li!! Open your mouth!!" Zhou Baowei nodded vigorously and operated quickly.

Lin Li: "?"

"You damn sicko!"

"Down-to-earth" man Zhou Baowei.

【Perfectly complete the thirty sect quests issued by Meituan Biaomen (12/30)】

"But thanks, you gave me a very comfortable review." Fortunately, Lin Li was also a "down-to-earth" man. After seeing the system message, he cooperated very well.

"What do you say, want to play games? My parents won't be back until very late, we can do whatever we want. I have a console at home, you can kneel on the side and watch me comfortably play this annual family-friendly game, Little Robot." Zhou Baowei asked again.

"You're also a thumb for spending four hundred to buy this. A single-player game called family-friendly, it must be Batman's doing. I still have one order to deliver in my hand, I have to go now, next time." Lin Li looked at his phone and said with a smile.

After this order is delivered, he still has to rush home to click "delivered." It will definitely be overtime in terms of time, but as a delivery rider, letting a customer wait until overtime and deliberately clicking "delivered" after overtime are still different.

"That's fine too." Lin Li leaving was even better news. Zhou Baowei stood up to see him off.

"I've remembered your home address. I'll come often in the future. It's just a pity it's a bit far from my house. I love eating little tangerines, prepare more in the future." Peeling a little tangerine and stuffing it into his mouth, Lin Li said vaguely while not leaving empty-handed.

Zhou Baowei: "..."

How can he tactfully bring up the matter of moving with his family?

After Zhou Baowei's door closed, Lin Li didn't rush to leave; he was still refreshing the order-grabbing interface at the door.

Half a minute passed, and Zhou Baowei's muffled voice came from inside the tightly closed door: "You damn get out of here quickly, I won't order takeout again within half an hour!"

The peephole was black; Zhou Baowei was probably staring at it from the door.

Not good, he was seen through.

There was no other way. Lin Li had to leave now.

As expected, for this last order, when he arrived at the complex where he lived and clicked "delivered," it was already several minutes overtime, and a facial recognition scan popped up immediately.

Lin Li quickly went upstairs, opened the door, and cast the Great Summoning Spell: "Mom!!"

"Coming, coming." Wu Min had already changed into home clothes and walked over, dragging her slippers.

"Help me scan my face." Lin Li handed the phone to Wu Min.

"Okay."

"Delivered for the whole afternoon, how much money did you earn?" Wu Min asked with curiosity and expectation while scanning her face.

"If I remember correctly, it should be a little over fifty." Lin Li recalled while taking off his shoes.

"Not bad, fifty. More than Mom thought. I'll take a photo for Mom later; your eldest uncle and the others are all praising you for being sensible." Wu Min said with great relief.

The face scan ended, and the software automatically returned to the main interface, so Wu Min clicked into the income page from the sidebar.

"Withdrawable balance: 5.0"

"..."

He quite simply divided everyone interested into male and female vocal parts, standing in the middle and pointing them out (physically).

After the silence, Wu Min took a deep breath, telling herself to be emotionally stable, and then asked:

"Lin Li, you said a little over fifty. Does this 'a little' mean between five and ten?"

"Mom, just tell me if it's a little more, right?" Lin Li waved his hand calmly.

"So, does this number mean that my son, in order to catch the peak period, rushed out at twelve o'clock after eating, and didn't come home until seven o'clock, a full seven hours, and earned five yuan, is that it?" Wu Min continued to take deep breaths while confirming.

"Hello, Mother Dear, yes." Lin Li nodded sincerely.

But this really couldn't be blamed on Lin Li.

He was indeed seriously completing the takeout quests, but the problem was that there was too much overtime. Every time he had to deduct money, it went up and down, and it became like this. And every day he went online, he had to deduct 3 yuan for insurance, otherwise, Lin Li could have a full 8 yuan in income, which could increase by 60%.

And Wu Min also clicked on the details and saw this.

This was an even harder fact to accept:

So her son hadn't been lazy? Was it just because he didn't meet the platform's requirements that he kept getting money deducted?

After he tried his best, he earned less than one yuan per hour on average?

The electric scooter was also rented.

"Li," she spoke.

"What's up."

"You must study hard. A child like you without grades will definitely starve to death in society." Wu Min said earnestly.

Lin Li: "..."

My mom, that hurts to hear.

Wu Min returned to the master bedroom and immediately went to her phone.

"The child has grown up and wants to experience the hardship of earning money. Today he insisted on experiencing delivering food... very moved, feeling that everything paid is worth it."

Delete this long essay of several hundred words first.

Then click on her siblings' group.

"Second Brother: @Wu Min, sister, hasn't A-Li come back yet? How much money did he earn today?"

"Eldest Sister: A-Li has been smart and lively since he was a child, it must be a lot."

Wu Min's expression was complex and regretful.

"Wu Min: A-Li just came back, he earned a little over 50."

"Second Brother: So much? Amazing! 'Like' 'Like' 'Like'"

"Eldest Sister: Great! 'Rose' 'Rose' 'Rose'"
