Chapter 170

"I meant films. What's with that expression?" Before a response came, Lin Li added with a smile.

"Eww—you'd better be." Qu Wanqiu didn't believe it at all and just made a sound of disdain.

"Stop 'ewwing.' So, are there any recommended normal films? Name a few. I still have time tonight when I get back, I can appreciate one before sleeping," Lin Li pressed.

"Of course there are..." Qu Wanqiu nodded immediately and began asking Lin Li if he had seen the movies she approved of.

……

"Chatting is such a simple thing," Lin Li said, spreading his hands downstairs at the boys' dormitory.

Sending a Buddha to the West—if he had only sent them to the school gate, the two would still be awkward on the way back to the dorms, so Lin Li simply found an excuse to follow them to the dorm.

After Qu Wanqiu entered the girls' dorm, only the two of them were left, and Lin Li summarized.

"Oh, right, I imitated your opening because my image was already ruined in their eyes, so they wouldn't find it too strange if I did that. This can also dilute the impact your disastrous opening might have caused. Don't learn this; it's different from your movie diplomacy."

Hearing this, Bai Bufan felt a rare warmth in his heart: "You are occasionally willing to act like a human. I thought you were purely trying to be a jerk."

"There is indeed that factor as well," Lin Li didn't deny it.

Bai Bufan: "……"

F*ck.

"Alright, I'm going to ride my bike home too. If I dawdle any longer, they won't even let me out of the school gate." Lin Li flipped onto his bike, turned the handlebars, and waved goodbye.

"Alright, bye-bye. Thanks a lot for tonight," Bai Bufan nodded.

"We're all bros. Oh, right, Bufan, there's one thing I need to tell you." Lin Li suddenly remembered something, propped the bike up with one foot, and turned back to say.

"What is it?"

"A woman in white followed us the whole way and just passed us to enter the boys' dorm. Be careful tonight." After saying this, Lin Li pedaled his bicycle away happily.

Leaving behind a Bai Bufan who wanted to f*ck but couldn't select his target, messy in the wind.

……

"Monday, Monday, f*ck your mother, waking up early every day, might as well go to the grave!"

Monday.

When Lin Li walked into the classroom carrying breakfast, he didn't hear Bai Bufan's Three Kingdoms wild history, but instead heard Wang Ze's poetry.

Good poem, good poem. Wang Ze is actually a physical education student with culture.

However, Lin Li is also a master of poetry, specializing in acrostic poems.

Bright moonlight before the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground. Raising my head to look at the bright moon, lowering my head to think of my hometown.

This is Lin Li's proudest work.

As for yesterday, Sunday, what Lin Li did was very simple. Except for Chen Yuying, who didn't come because she had to go to her grandmother's house, the remaining four spent the entire day at the library and returned to school for evening self-study at night.

Studied for another day.

The brain was smeared with glycerin, knowledge gushing out and couldn't be contained.

Lin Li also gradually gained confidence in science subjects.

After all, it's only the first year of high school. Although the knowledge taught is indeed worlds apart compared to middle school, in terms of mastery difficulty and keeping up with the progress, it's still relatively simple. The current teaching progress, the question types change back and forth, but there are only a few kinds.

In terms of liberal arts, he has 【Strong Memory】 to assist.

Will he win? He will win.

These two days, another two low-grade spirit stones were credited, but the inventory is still three—two were used this morning on the Body Tempering Eighth Stage Art.

As for today's Monday system update, the new options were perfected again, but he still doesn't know what they are for; no triggers or feedback.

【You have refreshed "Reach into the Bag": 50 system currency (daily purchase limit 1), do you want to replace it?】

【Reach into the Bag: After use, briefly master the "Reach into the Bag" ability. Within one hour, your forearms and palms can traverse space to reach the area you wish to appear in. The traversal distance is limited by your strength, with a minimum of two meters.

When using the ability, there is no spiritual energy fluctuation.】

Lin Li, the refresh target, still chose to refresh column 2 after buying another "Ability Amplifier," and the result was this.

Lin Li thought for a moment, chose to replace the column, and redeemed one.

Since he's already here, he has to exchange for something.

After this operation, Lin Li's system currency was left with only 300. In the 【Warehouse】, there were three low-grade spirit stones, three "Limit-Breaking Talismans," two "Ability Amplifiers," and one "Reach into the Bag."

But Lin Li didn't use it.

After all, this is like the shit-holding Limit-Breaking Talisman; it costs 50 system currency individually, and there's a limit of one per day. It's too wasteful to use it for testing.

According to the literal meaning, it's probably taking objects from a distance.

It feels quite awesome, and it's also a real immortal technique. Let's wait until there's a chance to use it later to see.

Returning to his seat, Lin Li slapped the sleeping Bai Bufan on the head: "Wake up, eat breakfast. Why are you so listless today?"

"It's all your fault..." Bai Bufan opened his eyes and yawned.

"No wonder you stayed at school this week, Bufan. You guys went to the library together on the weekend. Young people having strong addictions is understandable, but still, pay attention to moderation," Zhou Baowei said with concern after getting his own breakfast.

"Get lost." Bai Bufan raised his middle finger.

"You can pin this on me too?" Lin Li was shocked.

"It's definitely your fault. I'm used to staying up late on weekends. But the problem is, these two days on the weekend, I went to the library to study in the morning. I calculated it; although I got up later than usual, the actual sleep time was even less than on school days.

I didn't feel it when the weekend was going on, but now that Monday has started, it instantly backfired on me. Isn't this your fault?"

Lin Li: "……"

"Like you, the ghost responsible for sleep paralysis at three in the morning would worry after seeing you staying up late, complaining, 'Damn, won't this guy become my colleague in a few days and increase my performance pressure?'" Lin Li shook his head and sighed.

Ever since this shitty system arrived, Lin Li basically hasn't stayed up late for entertainment, and his schedule is quite healthy.

"Staying up late is fun for a moment, staying up late forever is always fun. The empty me, what I'm staying up for isn't the night, it's the freedom I can't pursue." Bai Bufan was still quibbling; after all, there's a jerk during the day who will confiscate his phone.

However, Bai Bufan then rubbed his armpit and added a bit of worry to his words: "But sometimes, I do suddenly feel a sharp pain in my armpit. Although it goes away after a while, this isn't a sign of sudden death, is it?"

"That's armpit pain, which counts as a warning from your body. However, you don't need to worry too much. Grind 15 grams each of tsaoko, dahurian angelica, bitter orange, cinnamon, nutmeg, amomum, and licorice into powder, and take it orally with water daily..."

"Wait, wait, wait, you also know traditional Chinese medicine? Wait, let me take notes. Okay, say it again, slower." Bai Bufan hurriedly called Lin Li to stop, took out paper and pen, and signaled for him to say it again.

"Tsaoko, dahurian angelica..."

"OK, so this situation will be relieved, right? I'll ask for leave to go out and get the medicine later." Bai Bufan was very happy.

If you ask Bai Bufan why he is alive, he would say he doesn't know; he sees others living too.

But if you really let him die, he would treat it as a separate matter.

"Uh, that's not it. It's just that if you do that, you'll smell very fragrant after being cremated following a sudden death. Everyone will think you're awesome, and maybe they'll even take the initiative to pick up your bones as sarira. By the way, can you lend me your skull to play soccer with then?" Lin Li shook his head.

Bai Bufan: "……"

You f*cker.

"You're also 65 grams of gold, the full price is 40,000."

The paper recording the prescription turned into a paper ball and smashed onto Lin Li's head. Bai Bufan raised his straight middle finger.

"A healthy schedule is the fundamental way to solve the problem. Bufan, you should pay attention to yourself. Your mind is already quite perverted, your body must be healthy," Lin Li said amusingly.

"Try my best. Anyway, to avoid sudden death today, I'll sleep for a while now. Don't call me for morning self-study later, unless QQ comes, then remind me." After quickly finishing breakfast, Bai Bufan continued to lie on the table to make up for his sleep.

Due to sleepiness, his consciousness was already hazy.

"Then what if I come." The morning self-study bell hadn't even rung yet, and someone spoke first.

"Who the f*ck are you."

"I'm f*cking Xue Jian."

"You f*cking... huh?"

Bai Bufan wasn't sleepy anymore.

A miraculous hand brings the spring, Dr. Xue.

……

Happy New Year 2025 to everyone.

This month, I organized a small lottery for monthly tickets. For details, see the single chapter later.

Anyway, begging for a monthly ticket.
