Chapter 162: The adult world is so complicated

When school ended for evening self-study, Lin Li had successfully recuperated and adjusted his body back quite a bit.

Because there were still things to do, he headed straight for his bicycle after class and then, looking at the navigation on his phone, headed toward his destination.

Arrived.

Looking at his target, Lin Li nodded.

Pin'ai Theme Hotel.

Lin Li didn't enter. After a slight smile, he took out the "Bottle of Stored Emotions and Desires," parked and locked his bike, and then sat on a nearby bench, taking out his phone to continue studying while waiting for the willing fish to take the bait.

This was a street of hotels, and the flow of people was quite high.

Lin Li hadn't been sitting for more than a few minutes when a couple got off a taxi that had just pulled up.

Lin Li directly took out the "Bottle of Stored Emotions and Desires." Credibility, I call your name, do you dare to answer?

It answered.

Lin Li's gaze looked like he was looking at his phone, but in reality, he was using his peripheral vision to size up the two.

Then, visibly to the naked eye, both of their expressions changed, and they both looked at each other.

Maintaining the mentality of a bystander, Lin Li activated 【Ear Divine Ability】.

"..."

He didn't hear anything.

It wasn't that 【Ear Divine Ability】 had failed, but that both of them had tacitly remained silent.

"... Baby, have you already booked the room?" After a long time, the girl finally spoke.

"... Not yet."

"Then today, how about... forget it?"

"Fine! Actually, I have the same idea. Let's go back and play games? Romance or whatever, it's actually not necessary." The boy nodded quickly.

"Good!"

"Driver, take us back." The two turned around tacitly and hailed a taxi.

The taxi driver who hadn't left yet: "?"

Just arrived and now leaving, hailing a taxi twice, are you two helping Xiling boost its GDP here?

Forget it.

Thanks to these two idiots, this money is easy to earn.

"Alright! Get in!" The driver, smiling on the outside but thinking they were idiots on the inside, opened the car door.

And Lin Li, who had done all this, hid his merit and fame deep within.

Tonight, he had saved over a billion little lives again.

This was Lin Li's plan.

This was a street of hotels, and Pin'ai was the highest-rated romantic hotel in Xiling. What were the men and women coming here at this time for? Did he need to consider that?

It couldn't possibly be to watch luminous watches and kittens that could do backflips.

So he just needed to stay at the entrance and absorb it when they passed by.

Of course, it was certainly not the case that every single person could be successfully absorbed; emotions were things that were very hard to control, and not everyone who came here could meet the requirements of the "Bottle of Stored Emotions and Desires," but it didn't matter if the absorption failed; there was always the next one.

Admittedly, in places like hospitals, sadness and despair could never be absorbed completely; after all, hospital walls had listened to more pious prayers than churches.

From an emotional perspective, Lin Li didn't really want to go to such places to toy with other people's emotions; they might just need that sadness to vent.

From a rational perspective, after the experiments during the day, lust was the desire with the highest efficiency.

And the biggest limitation to completing this task was not that Lin Li couldn't find suitable negative emotions, but that Lin Li's spirit simply wasn't enough to consume.

If he went to a hospital and stayed in the ICU for a minute, Lin Li would probably faint on the spot because his spirit couldn't hold on, entering the ICU at light speed.

The "Bottle of Stored Emotions and Desires" was full.

It could only be said that this was a place with good feng shui.

Lin Li even absorbed credibility from a pair of guys who were just passing by the hotel with their arms around each other's shoulders calling each other brothers.

You guys better be brothers, and what you're going to do better be drinking, and the credibility better be for the girls you'll meet later.

Lin Li remembered the female-oriented novels he had once read.

Reading female-oriented novels was quite normal; in terms of writing, they were indeed remarkable, and many themes didn't distinguish between men and women.

At first, Lin Li didn't think there was anything wrong with the description of brotherhood in them; although he felt it was a bit much, he could still convince himself to accept it.

All of this collapsed instantly when the brothers he thought were brothers started kissing in the book.

It shocked Lin Li for a hundred years.

Most of the time, Lin Li could absorb emotions from both sides.

But sometimes, like a middle-aged couple that came, Lin Li could only absorb emotions from the woman.

When the woman's credibility was absorbed by Lin Li and she suggested to her husband that they should forget it, Lin Li saw that the guy was so happy he was almost jumping as he walked.

Middle-aged people... are they actually this desolate?

Take it as a warning.

Other times, Lin Li couldn't absorb emotions from either side, and he didn't know what they were coming to this place for.

Now, looking at the full bottle, Lin Li felt a bit nostalgic—Bufan, I miss you so much.

His spirit could still hold on; it would be a pity if he left now. The task progress bar hadn't even reached one-third in total.

With his brother not around, he could only suffer a bit himself—actually, Lin Li wanted to try it out.

"Hmm~~——"

When the emotions in the bottle entered his body following Lin Li's thoughts, Lin Li suddenly covered his mouth, which had subconsciously cried out.

So this is what the feeling of being in heat is like.

Lin Li, who had been prepared, pressed his other hand tightly against the bench and began to take deep breaths continuously.

Open eyes.

Why did the exhaust pipe of the car in front look so tempting?

That kitten next to the car also seemed quite cute?

When these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lin Li slapped himself across the face with a "smack."

He had accidentally turned himself into a "San Ge" (a derogatory term for Indians).

Limb control ability, control me!

Little Catfish Mermaid, put images in my brain!

It took a full few minutes of persisting while knowing that this desire would fade before Lin Li could barely calm down.

Curiosity almost killed the cat.

Lin Li felt a bit of palpitations; next time the bottle was full, he would just randomly give it to a guest of this shop.

Lin Li had been sitting for an hour, and his spirit was already showing signs of fatigue.

The "Bottle of Stored Emotions and Desires" was probably reaching its limit again.

Another couple walked over; the woman looked talented, and the man looked wealthy.

The fat man, who wasn't even as tall as the woman, had a lecherous face and seemed to be saying something.

Lin Li activated 【Ear Divine Ability】.

"Baby, later I'm going to let you 'beep—', and then fiercely 'beep—', you will definitely 'beep—' then."

Damn, even tigers and wolves would have to say we are cats and dogs; what he said were truly tiger-wolf words.

"Ah~~ I'm so looking forward to it~~ down there I'm already 'beep—', I really want 'beep—'~~"

Grass, a perfect match.

Lin Li took a deep breath and activated the magic treasure!

Afterward, he almost laughed out loud.

The man indeed had worldly desires, but he hadn't absorbed anything from the woman at all.

So everything you just said was insincere, right?

Really, he had actually thought you could really go through with it.

Following Lin Li's activation, the man stopped in his tracks and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong, baby?" The woman asked in confusion.

"It's boring, I don't want to sleep with you anymore, I'm going home, do whatever you want." The man yawned, feeling that what he had been looking forward to wasn't that exciting anymore, and his tone sounded like he was dismissing a prostitute.

"How can you be like this? No, let's go."

"I'll still buy you that bag, don't pull me."

"Baby, you're the best~~"

Listening to this conversation, and since his time and energy for the day were about up, he raised his hand and poured all the credibility in the bottle into the woman's body.

You don't love? I'll make you love!

However, to Lin Li's surprise, the woman just watched the rich guy drive away, only waving her hand on the spot.

No heat? Is her self-control that strong?

Then Lin Li saw the woman take out her phone and make a call.

"The room is already booked, the address is the one I sent you, come find me now." Once connected, the woman said.

"Okay, sister, then can you help me open a champagne tower next month?" Because the distance was close, Lin Li could still hear the sound of the phone.

"No problem."

"I'll tell my supervisor now that I'm out for field work, sister."

Lin Li: "..."

Your mother.

The adult world is so complicated.

Who is raising whom?

Forget it, going home to sleep is more important!

Inside Pin'ai Theme Hotel.

The service desk faced the glass door, so the front desk could see the flow of people coming and going outside.

The smile on the front desk's face was stiff as hell.

What's going on tonight?

Couple after couple of customers walked to the door full of enthusiasm, and she was ready to say welcome and promote some additional products, but suddenly, one by one, they were like they were in a sage mode, either leaving directly in boredom or not listening to a word she said after coming in.

Their expressions made her suspect they wanted to check out.

What are you doing, what are you doing, are you all playing a "stop-at-the-last-second" challenge with me here?

Finally, finally!

A gorgeously dressed woman walked in, and her face was full of spring light; this was a normal customer!

No, not normal either.

Her male companion had already left, what is she in spring for?

"Welcome to Pin'ai, may I ask..."

But the front desk still had to follow the rules and say the script.

"Stop beeping, room 4013, bring me one of every largest toy you have here!" The woman said impatiently, "By the way, help me prepare low-temperature fire and steel wool too!"

Front desk: "?"
