Chapter 293

The time limit of the task is like a Mediterranean hairstyle; it's not short, but it's not long either.

Two months.

What's more difficult is that, like the previous chicken farm cleaning task, the system won't prompt him when he encounters a task target nearby.

After all, if there were a target radar, it would be much easier.

Last time, he had the help of a noble person, Song Luping, to complete it quickly.

Eh.

Thinking of this, Lin Li falls into thought.

Can he use Pingge this time? Go on another autumn outing?

—Knowledge point consolidation: Spring outing is for enjoying the green, so autumn outing is for sweeping away yellow.

Although the chicken farm in Xiling suffered a devastating blow in September, a chicken farm is like the male lead in a hot-blooded anime; it will never truly fall. Shouting about love and bonds, it can stand up again.

As long as "niuniu" (bulls) hasn't been eradicated, then "niuniu" (girls) will never disappear.

It's impossible to have a day where it's truly defeated.

And Song Luping has been out for a month now. Based on his understanding of him, as long as he hasn't been caught again or left Xiling, he might have explored a new Xiling chicken farm map.

Send him in for another fifteen days?

Lin Li takes out his phone and switches to his alt account.

In the friend request list, a "Fang." friend request from seven days ago lies quietly—in the past month or so, he would occasionally send friend requests.

Because Lin Li's alt account has never changed its nickname or avatar, Song Luping probably still has hope that Lin Li didn't intentionally not accept it.

But he still hasn't accepted it for the time being.

Lin Li looks at the task.

In the task preface, it mentioned "The good deed you can do is by no means just eliminating the foundation of the Hehuan demon people."

Theoretically, with this sentence, in the limited scope, autumn outing shouldn't be included.

But it wasn't explicitly written in the task.

Lin Li thinks about it, this idea is pending, and the wording for contacting Song Luping hasn't been thought of yet, so he can't be anxious.

If he still hasn't found another way to complete the task after half a month, he'll give it a try, treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

The girls have also returned, so the five people take a taxi back to the library to continue studying.

Nansang Library actually disappoints the Light of Xiling, Lin Li.

For a whole day, not a single criminal involved in small crimes like murder, rape, arson, shooting, or drug trafficking appeared, let alone letting Lin Li take action to punish them.

With this, it still boasts that it ranks among the top libraries in Pingjiang City?

Truly a pretentious library, down-to-earth.

Like last time, everyone studied until past eight o'clock, when the library was about to close.

"The four of us continue tomorrow?" Hearing the closing music and standing up, Lin Li asks the "three" opposite.

"Sure, but why four? Is someone not coming?" Ding Sihan nods, but seems a bit confused.

"Bufan, he's coming to study tomorrow, I'm afraid he won't even be able to stay awake," Lin Li raises his chin at Bai Bufan.

Facing everyone's gaze, Bai Bufan nods: "I've already burned out, only white ashes are left, I can't continue studying, I have to go relax."

Suppressing the desire to use Flame Fist on Bai Bufan, Lin Li elbows him and asks casually:

"Bufan, are you going to play at my place later, or should I open a machine for you at the internet cafe?"

"Internet cafe, I'm very noisy when playing games, and your computer is in your room. I'm not going to sleep early, but you have to get up early tomorrow, so I won't torture you." Bai Bufan shakes his head and says.

"But my place is quite big, I can let you see." Lin Li suddenly bends his tone.

This is a reward for a good dog.

"Then I definitely can't go." Bai Bufan is terrified. Staying in a house with Lin Li, he's afraid his chastity won't be guaranteed.

"Heh—Alright, seriously, are you coming or not? I can sleep in the master bedroom, so compared to going to the internet cafe, at least you can sleep in my bed when you're tired, no need to wait for the school gate to open." Lin Li asks.

There's no turning back from an all-nighter. There are a few spots to climb over the wall in Nansang, but the dormitory gate will be locked, so if Bai Bufan goes to the internet cafe, he wants to return to the dormitory at least at five or six in the morning.

"Internet cafe it is, it has atmosphere. As for being tired, you're looking down on me a bit." Bai Bufan is very confident.

"Alright then." Lin Li has no objections.

The five people go downstairs, Chen Zhongping is indeed still waiting, eyeing them like a tiger, and takes Chen Yuying away.

"See you tomorrow."

"Bye bye."

"Eh, aren't you two going to the internet cafe? Why are you still walking toward the school?"

After waving goodbye to Ding Sihan, Qu Wanqiu looks at Lin Li and Bai Bufan, who are walking with her, with some confusion.

"He has to put his schoolbag and stuff back in school first, he can't take a pile of textbooks to the internet cafe." Lin Li looks ahead and answers, then looks at Qu Wanqiu:

"And, no matter what, it's night now, it's not safe for a girl like you to walk home alone at night. What if you encounter a murderer, rapist, arsonist, shooter, or drug dealer?"

"How bad must my luck be to encounter these criminals in Xiling! I have no grudges against them, I can't provoke them at all!"

"Maybe it's an indiscriminate killer."

Qu Wanqiu's mouth opens and closes, her brows furrow, looking at Lin Li, confirming unconfidently: "Lin Li, why do you seem to be looking forward to it?"

"Haha, is it that obvious? Sorry." Lin Li apologizes.

"And you admitted it!? What's with the 'haha'! Isn't it just that I gave you black silk! Do you hate me that much!"

Qu Wanqiu walks behind Lin Li, kicks Lin Li's schoolbag with a high lift, and laughs and scolds.

Bai Bufan, who caught the keyword, stares wide-eyed, looking at Lin Li's trouser legs, suspecting that there are still pants hidden inside the pants.

"Just purely concerned about you."

"There's no such way to be concerned. Besides, the library to the school is all a big road, bright and clear, who dares to commit a crime." Qu Wanqiu says speechlessly.

"Also."

Hearing this, Lin Li touches his chin. Eh, he does have a bit of an idea for completing Task Three.

Since criminals don't come to find him, why doesn't he go find the criminals?

Nansang Middle School.

Downstairs of the boys' dormitory, Lin Li frowns, looking at Bai Bufan who ran out panting, and asks confusedly:

"Why did it take so long to come down?"

"Wang Yuezhi's fault." Bai Bufan sneers, his voice full of hatred.

"What does it have to do with him?" Lin Li asks even more confusedly.

"Hoo—I just discovered I didn't bring my key," Bai Bufan explains through gritted teeth:

"Then I came down to ask the dormitory aunt for it. After I got it and went up to open the door, I came down again to return the key to the aunt. When I went up again, hey! Guess what?

The door was locked!

When I was red-hot, Wang Yuezhi, who had finished getting hot water, walked over, saw me, and gave me an exhortation—

'Remember to close the door next time you go out, I helped you close it this time, you won't be so lucky next time.'

Damn, grass! When I went to ask for the key the second time, the aunt was really looking at me with the eyes of an idiot. Yes, yes, just the eyes you have now, imitating so similarly, Lin Li, you just looked... No, no! Lin Li, what the hell does that look of yours mean!"

Bai Bufan jumps off the wall in a hurry as he speaks.

"Wang Yuezhi is also good for you. In school, there are people who dare to steal takeout, so there are people who dare to steal things. Let's go, let's go." Ignoring the barking behind him, Lin Li walks in front with a smile.

Wang Yuezhi seems to really want to win, he actually stayed at school.

Or maybe he stays often, but Lin Li never noticed it before.

Soon, the two found an internet cafe not far from the school, or rather, a more high-end internet cafe.

Unlike before, when you had to go to a private room if you didn't want the smell of smoke, now in the internet cafe, the smell of smoke in the private room is heavier.

After all, if someone smokes in the lobby and it's not managed, one report will be accurate, and they will be fined until they have no temper. In the private room, they can turn a blind eye.

Lin Li walks to the front desk: "Net manager, new user, help me top up one hundred."

"Alright, wait a moment." The net manager takes the ID card and starts operating.

"There are 220 in internet fees now." Soon, the ID card is returned to Lin Li, along with a piece of paper: "And this is the password for your ID card, case-sensitive."

The other party actually noticed Bai Bufan, but didn't care.

Just like a customer just now, who actually asked if he could smoke in the private room. After he said no, he asked why he saw someone smoking in the private room.

Why else, because the other party didn't ask.

"Buffett is also stupid. After struggling in the stock market for decades, the average annual return is only twenty. If this old boy topped up all his assets to the internet cafe, wouldn't this return rate be 120% directly?" Lin Li and Bai Bufan walk into the internet cafe, confused.

Bai Bufan: "..."

"You know how to make money. If you manage a fund in the future, tell me, I'll sell my house to follow you."

"Did the landlord agree?"

"Introduce your record, and he will agree."

"Alright," Lin Li nods with a smile, then stops: "Do you want the lobby or the private room?"

After this internet cafe ID card is activated, you choose the machine yourself.

"What private room for one person, isn't that spending unjust money? The lobby is fine, open it for me, the configuration is enough." Bai Bufan looks at the price list and area map on the wall and says to Lin Li.

"Don't save money for me, just open a 15-yuan machine for you. This way, as long as you count the discount for the all-nighter, the 220 in the card is enough for you to play until tomorrow morning. The extra money is just enough for you to buy late-night snacks and breakfast."

Lin Li waves his hand indisputably, the private room has the smell of smoke, so he chooses a corner position in the high-configuration area of the lobby.

Waiting for the machine to turn on, he signals Bai Bufan to sit next to him first.

Looking at the wealthy Lin Li, Bai Bufan is not polite, just sighs with envy:

"It's good to be rich. Your wallet is as full as Bao Wei's now, while my wallet is as shriveled as Erii's. Life, hurried, hurried."

Lin Li: "?"

Lin Li turns his head to look at Bai Bufan, pats his shoulder seriously: "Bufan, the light of my semi-trailer is broken, do you have time to stand in front and see later?"

"Wrong, wrong." Bai Bufan laughs hee hee.

Lin Li is entering the password to turn on the machine. Bai Bufan has nothing to do, so he reaches out and touches the keyboard of the machine in front of him that hasn't been turned on, and makes a silver-evil silver cry:

"Ah~ touched the seam of the jk~ worthy of being an internet cafe~ really so cool~"

—Bai Bufan's fingers slide up and down between the "j" and "k" of the mechanical keyboard, using his middle and ring fingers.

Lin Li looks at Bai Bufan like an idiot and sighs deeply.

"Bufan, if you touch down, there is also the seam of nm."

"... Forget this one, it's not very polite." Bai Bufan knows this and responds with a smile.

"Then if you touch to the upper left, there is also the seam of 8u."

"Eh?" Bai Bufan is stunned, looks down, and there really is.

"If you touch to the upper right, there is also the seam of op that you can touch."

Bai Bufan: "..."

"So jk is under the siege of 8u and op, then this life is over." Bai Bufan laughs.

The computer has been successfully turned on, so Lin Li stands up and gives up the seat:

"Put the ID card with you first, to prevent the embarrassment of the machine having problems later but you not being able to change the machine. Remember to return it to me tomorrow."

"Too warm, brother, okok, don't worry, the person is there, the card is there, the person dies, the card dies."

Bai Bufan is very moved, puts Lin Li's ID card in his pocket, and nods heavily.

An ID card is actually a very magical thing. Although it is very important, sometimes it has been lost for half a year, and perhaps the owner hasn't realized it yet.

"Alright, see if there's anything else you need me to do. If not, I'll go home first."

"Alright, Lin Li, are you playing games after you go home?"

Bai Bufan has already started to adjust the sensitivity of the peripherals, looking at the screen and asking casually.

"Me? I shouldn't play, I will devote my limited time to infinite undertakings." Lin Li shakes his head and says.

Lin Li indeed has his own arrangements.

"Sigh, I knew you trash couldn't be relied on, then I'll ask them." Bai Bufan takes out his phone and sends a message in the group chat.

As a dog manager, he goes up and @everyone.

Very imposing, group member Lin Li replies with a "not playing" in seconds.

Only Lin Li replied.

"What the hell are you all doing, what the hell are you all doing," Bai Bufan is also an impatient person, switches directly to WeChat and calls out, "Baowei! Play games."

"No, it's the object's birthday today, I'm busy celebrating for her." The sound of Zhou Baowei's fat pressing on his vocal cords comes from the other end of the phone.

Lin Li, Bai Bufan: "?"

Lin Li, who originally saw that Bai Bufan had no problems and was already carrying his schoolbag preparing to leave, was forcibly controlled by Zhou Baowei's sentence.

"Where the hell did you get an object?" Returning to Bai Bufan's side, the two ask in unison.

"Lin Li? Why are you here too? Bufan, didn't you return to school?" Hearing Lin Li's voice, Zhou Baowei asks confusedly.

"This is not important, explain where the hell you got an object? How the hell can you have an object! When did this happen?" Lin Li's voice hides a lion.

"Met on Taobao last year." Zhou Baowei answers.

Lin Li: "(; o_o)?"

"Is her surname Chun?" Lin Li squints his eyes.

"Hmm."

"You damn! A masturbator is a masturbator, where did the birthday come from?" Hearing this, the two relax first, then laugh and scold.

"Isn't there a production date on it?"

Zhou Baowei asks back, his voice coming over immediately, flat but firm.

In an instant, Lin Li and Bai Bufan's brains crashed.

Then, the two feel the wrinkles of their cerebral cortex being smoothed and stretched instantly, there is a moment of relaxation, as if walking in the Norwegian forest, everything is relieved at once.

"Are you sick, Zhou Baowei."

"You damn."

But they can't spray, this is a real birthday.

"So are you really not playing? Or what do you say?" Bai Bufan asks after laughing.

"I'm waiting for a late-night snack, starving to death, let's play after twelve o'clock. Can you still play then? The background is so noisy, internet cafe?" Zhou Baowei asks.

"Alright, I'm pulling an all-nighter tonight." Bai Bufan nods.

"Baowei, what late-night snack, it's only nine o'clock now. Are you going to have another late-night snack after twelve? Are you going to have another late-night snack after three or four?

Stop eating, if you keep eating, what will you do if you can't see your chicken when you look down one day?"

Lin Li laughs and habitually attacks Zhou Baowei.

As the saying goes, for a girl, not seeing her toes when looking down is a human beauty.

But the Sichuan dialect says it better, for a boy, burying your head and not seeing the tip of your chicken, that's the beauty of Chengdu! (Not seeing the tip of the chicken when looking down is the beauty of Chengdu).

The other end of the phone is silent.

"..."

"..."

"God damn not seeing the chicken!"

"Lin Li! Are you a human for saying this? It's too terrifying, it scared me into standing up and looking specifically, fortunately, I can still see it."

After a while of rustling, Zhou Baowei's long breath and angry voice come from the other end of the phone.

"You damn really looked—"

Lin Li and Bai Bufan laugh like crazy instantly.

Lin Li then asks with a smile:

"No, Baowei, you're still talking about an object like this. Do you know, if you keep eating, and you really have an object in the future, you lie on top and let her move on her own, what will she say to you?"

"I don't want to hear it! Shut up! Bufan, tear his mouth apart for me!" Zhou Baowei roars.

But it's too late—

"Your object looks at you and says with difficulty, 'Brother Baowei, the concubine can't sit on it.'"

When the killing blow is spoken, both ends of the phone have unclear nose-snorting sounds—Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei understood and laughed.

"Damn, if I had known Lin Li was on the other end of the phone, I wouldn't have answered this call. This dog's mouth is really poisonous. Hang up, hang up, Bufan, I'll find you later when I'm ready."

After Zhou Baowei laughed and scolded, he hung up the WeChat call with a "ding."

Went to take a bath to cool down.

Then Bai Bufan made a few more calls, but either they were already playing and had to finish first, or they had something to do and couldn't come now, they had to wait a while.

"Forget it, forget it, I'll play some single-player games first. Since I can't play 'Astro Bot', then 'Sekiro', I haven't cleared it yet, I'll clear it today."

Bai Bufan doesn't care either, opens Steam, and looks at the pile of exclusive games that appeared because he is in an internet cafe, and says.

"Where did you play to?" Lin Li asks curiously.

"Played to the point where Sekiro had one hand cut off and stopped playing." Bai Bufan turns his head and says while waiting for the page to load.

Lin Li: "..."

"So you damn haven't even finished the prologue, what the hell did you play." Lin Li laughs and scolds, "Bufan, do you watch 'One Piece'?"

"Watch."

"Do you stop watching after Roger dies?"

"Yeah, Roger is the Pirate King, the protagonist is dead, I'm too sad, I can't watch it." Bai Bufan nods with a smile.

"Reasonable."

Lin Li shakes his head with a smile, then seeing the game start, he is curious and sits down to watch Bai Bufan play for a while.

When he sees the red "Death" character appearing more and more frequently on the screen, and Bufan's face turning red along with the screen, Lin Li stands up and decides to leave with satisfaction.

"No wonder netizens say that in Soul-like games, 'Sekiro' is not as good as 'Shadows Die Twice', there must be a reason. What kind of damn difficulty is set, but I will clear it today."

Bai Bufan, who clicks on Bilibili to search for wheelchair tutorials, curses.

【It's the last day of the month, the monthly tickets are about to expire.】
