Chapter 159

Lin Li's already overburdened brain now felt like it was splitting with pain; he felt he was only a step away from sudden death and quickly stopped the operation of the "Bottle of Stored Emotions and Desires."

Fortunately, it seemed there were no exercises today, otherwise Lin Li would definitely have had to ask for leave.

"I don't want it!"

Wang Yuezhi in front of him was still staring straight at him. After a 'loud low roar', he gritted his teeth and returned to his seat.

Stuffing a mint into his mouth, Lin Li sat sideways, leaning against the window.

Recalling just now.

The "Bottle of Stored Emotions and Desires" cannot deprive people of the ability to produce emotional desires; it only absorbs the emotions and desires produced. In other words, the situation just now...

—The rate at which he was absorbing was not as fast as the rate at which he was producing.

What a pity. Lin Li now only hated himself for being useless. If his brain hadn't been unable to take it, he could probably have filled the whole bottle, right?

The task progress bar had increased by a significant chunk because of this.

This guy Wang Yuezhi... is truly a top-tier power bank.

Worthy of being his brother; he truly has talent and ability.

"Looks like we really don't have to do exercises today." Bai Bufan, who had already walked outside to line up, walked in slowly from the back door and said somewhat luckily.

Then he suddenly raised his hand and did a backward jump shot.

As for why Bai Bufan suddenly did this movement, don't ask; it's estimated he didn't even know himself.

Just like how one would pat the top of the door frame when passing through, it was purely a subconscious action of a boy.

Many times, the body's speed is faster than the brain.

"Bufan, catch." Lin Li opened his eyes, tossed the mint in his hand toward Bai Bufan, and then said: "Help me throw it in the trash can."

Bai Bufan, who caught it and saw clearly that it was a candy, had already tossed it into his mouth. After hearing the second half of the sentence, he fell silent.

Then he spat the candy into his palm and stared blankly at Lin Li: "Can you say that before throwing it next time?"

"It just fell on the ground. With you sucking and spitting it out just now, all the dust and such are already in your mouth. It's a bit of a waste to throw it away now; you might as well eat it," Lin Li said sincerely.

Bai Bufan: "..."

But Lin Li made sense. Bai Bufan tossed it back into his mouth; if it's not clean, eating it won't make you sick.

Returning to his seat and sitting down, Bai Bufan stretched and then sighed softly:

"It's such a waste to use the break for sleeping or doing homework. If only I knew the Shadow Clone Technique, I could go have fun happily and let them do the troublesome things for me."

"Is there a possibility that your clones would be just as lazy as you, and the final result would be countless yous having fun happily?" Lin Li retorted without even wanting to lift his eyelids.

Bai Bufan: "..."

"Lin Li, your words are so hurtful."

"It doesn't speak."

"Your mom."

"Her body is very healthy, thanks for your concern."

"But I still want to learn the Shadow Clone Technique, because if many of me go have fun happily, I have several bold ideas that they would probably agree with," Bai Bufan raised his eyebrows.

"Alright, you can shut up now, don't pollute my database," Lin Li covered his ears.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Lin Li, why are you here?" During the lunch break, Chen Tianming opened the dormitory door and asked curiously after seeing it was Lin Li.

"Why isn't Bufan in the dorm? Didn't he finish eating?" Lin Li looked around and, after finding Bai Bufan wasn't there, spoke with slight surprise.

Lin Li had gone out to eat at noon, so he wasn't with Bai Bufan.

The main purpose was to easily replenish duck blood for his "Bottle of Stored Emotions and Desires."

And while outside, observing carefully, Lin Li discovered that the surface of the "Bottle of Stored Emotions and Desires" was no longer pitch black; it now had several tiny white lines. To the naked eye, they looked quite like cracks, but they were still smooth to the touch.

It's estimated that this is proof of wear and tear. When the white lines are dense, it will shatter and start its self-repair time.

"I don't know either, probably hasn't finished eating yet," Zhou Baowei, who was sitting on his lower bunk, shrugged.

He stared at Lin Li for a moment, then reached out to roll up his own pant leg, appraised it himself, and then pulled it back down in frustration.

School uniforms are basically oversized and long, and with it being summer, rolling up pant legs is quite normal.

But Zhou Baowei was somewhat unwilling. Why was it that when Lin Li rolled up his pant legs, it looked a bit roguish and cool, worthy of being called a top-tier roguish face, but when it came to him, rolling up a pant leg looked like a landlord's farmer son preparing to transplant rice seedlings?

Lin Li truly deserves to die.

What on earth has this kid done this semester? The change is even greater than the gap between Bai Bufan and people.

"It's nothing, you two are the same. Bufan not being here is his loss. I downloaded an awesome 3D animation on my phone, the modeling is top-tier, I have to share it with you guys. What do you say, want to appreciate it?" Lin Li took out his phone from his pocket, shook it twice, and tempted them.

"Is it really good stuff? Let's take a look? There won't be any traps, right?" Zhou Baowei asked curiously.

"I won't watch it. I have to keep my husbandly duties for Qiaoqiao. If I watch this kind of mental infidelity, my conscience will be uneasy," Chen Tianming shook his head.

Lin Li: "..."

Lin Li was indeed quite helpless sometimes.

Ignoring Chen Tianming, Lin Li sat on Baowei's bed, placed the phone where it would be blocked by the quilt when someone entered from the door, and after adding a layer of insurance, started the video he had already downloaded outside.

3D, with plot, with subtitles.

"Wow, it's Tifa!" Zhou Baowei exclaimed.

"You know her? You play 'Final Fantasy' too?"

"'Final Fantasy'? What's that?"

Hearing this answer, Lin Li and Zhou Baowei smiled at each other, and the two hugged.

The 3D zone cannot lose Tifa, just like Chengdu cannot stop selling lubricant.

DVA, Tifa, Marie Rose—they once used their delicate bodies to support the sky of the 3D zone. Unfortunately, with the changing times, there are fewer and fewer new works.

Now the 3D zone is actually the world of Genshin Impact.

The two began to watch the video, put on headphones, and listened to the decadent sounds.

Since after the second period in the morning, Lin Li hadn't used the "Bottle of Stored Emotions and Desires" again, and his spirit had recovered quite a bit.

"This plot is too top-tier." When Zhou Baowei covered himself with the quilt, the meaning was already self-evident.

Especially since they were currently going through the plot, and their clothes were even still neat and tidy.

Seeing this, Lin Li was just preparing to take out the bottle to absorb when he suddenly remembered that there were still complex emotions from Wang Yuezhi absorbed in the morning inside the bottle.

Thinking about it, this stuff should be easier to consume than sleepiness, so Lin Li output all the emotions and desires from the bottle onto himself.

"Baowei, oh Baowei, others endure hardship and work hard, you eat McDonald's; others are determined to succeed, you are really unable; others strengthen their bodies, you strengthen your fitness. Between eating less and not eating, you chose not to eat—you really deserve to die."

As the emotions entered his body, Lin Li immediately felt depressed and angry, so he angrily vented at Baowei.

Zhou Baowei: "Ah?"

"When you sleep, do you ever find your quilt a bit narrow, no matter how you adjust it, it's still a bit narrow and doesn't cover your belly? You probably do, right? The reason is actually clear to you too; after all, your quilt is just like that," Lin Li patted Zhou Baowei's quilt with disdain.

"..."

"Not brother, I can endure you scolding me, but can you be a bit more logical? At least have a reason, right?" Zhou Baowei was dumbfounded, feeling somewhat wronged.

"Whoosh—"

"It's nothing now. I was suddenly in a bad mood just now, but after scolding you twice, I feel better. Come, let's continue watching the video," Lin Li waved his hand with a smile.

Zhou Baowei: "?"

No, is this person really sick?

Lin Li sighed in his heart again: a magic treasure is a magic treasure. Even though he knew and was prepared that he would suddenly feel angry and jealous, once those emotions entered his body, he still found it uncomfortable not to vent, and the desire to scold someone was very hard to suppress.

Baowei was right there; it would be a waste not to scold him.

Wait.

Wang Yuezhi didn't scold him in the morning.

Could he be the real master, a legendary ninja?

Although it might be because these were emotions collected within seconds and exploded all at once, Lin Li still raised his evaluation of Wang Yuezhi by a magnitude. Lin Li was willing to call him the Ninja God King!

The two continued to watch.

The bottle was empty. Zhou Baowei, hand over all your reputation to me!

Absorption successful.

Not only that, the speed at which the system's progress bar rose was not only faster than absorbing sleepiness, but also much faster than when absorbing anger.

Could it be that absorbing this is the optimal efficiency solution?

Does the system think this kind of desire is more negative for a cultivator than anger?

Directly judged as lewd and evil?

While Lin Li was thinking, Zhou Baowei's expression gradually became solemn.

Originally staring fixedly at Lin Li's phone, his gaze gradually alternated between his own legs covered by the quilt and the phone screen.

Strange.

Zhou Baowei took a deep breath, wanting to speak but stopping, wanting to stop but speaking, and in the end, he didn't open his mouth because he was too ashamed to speak.

Clearly, the modeling and plot were both top-tier, and he approved of them quite a bit—he was even prepared to let Lin Li send him the link to appreciate it in detail over the weekend—but why, when the most exciting plot started, there was no reaction instead?

Mainly because his brain approved of it, so why was there no reaction?

Willing but unable?

"..."

Nothing went wrong, right?

Don't, I'm only at this age!

"..."

And on Lin Li's side, he hadn't thought of an answer yet, but suddenly discovered that the "Bottle of Stored Emotions and Desires" could no longer absorb anything.

This meant Zhou Baowei was no longer producing this kind of desire, or rather, it was no longer a major emotional desire for him.

Lin Li turned his head, and after seeing clearly, he immediately forced the laughter down his throat.

—At this moment, Zhou Baowei was sweating profusely, his eyes were completely unfocused, and his lips were pale.

His own behavior was indeed a bit inhuman.

But Lin Li wouldn't be like Wu Min, who only cared about killing and not burying; Lin Li cared about both killing and burying.

"Bottle of Stored Emotions and Desires," anxiety, absorb for me!

Absorption successful.

The speed of the progress bar rising was higher than sleepiness and lower than anger.

And at this time, Zhou Baowei felt his mood had calmed down quite a bit.

Actually... this matter of having no reaction is also fine, after all, I don't have much use for it anyway, so if it's gone, it's gone. No need to be anxious, relax.

... Wait, no.

How could it be gone just like that! How could I have such a thought!

Eh? Wait, it seems there's a reaction again?
