Chapter 31

"Dad, use my card for lunch. I always ask from you but never thank you~~ The child wants to provide for his parents, but they are gone; I must show filial piety to you early. Time, time, slow down, don't let you grow old again~~" Bai Bufan began to eulogize fatherly love.

"Fine." Lin Li didn't stand on ceremony at all, then reacted: "Wait, 'the child wants to provide for his parents, but they are gone'—are you saying I'm going to die?"

Regardless of whether holding his deskmate's hand to talk was gay or not, Bai Bufan continued with full anticipation: "Whether you die or not isn't important now; what's important is when we go on an adventure. I can't wait to let others taste my famous dishes, and by the way, deliver the Xiling shock!

I've had enough of the days in the Taoist temple."

The famous dishes were naturally chicken rolls and mung bean milk, focusing on being authentic, authentic, and authentic~~

Lin Li shook off Bai Bufan's hand and waved it: "I said just now, it's only a possibility. I don't know which places in Xiling are still raising chickens, I have to go find them first. To take action, we have to wait until I find them."

"However, Bufan, I have to make it clear to you first: I currently have the status of an informant, and finding this is one of the tasks they gave me."

Lin Li first crowned his actions with legitimacy.

"When I really take you there, the final thing to do is to report it."

Therefore, taking you along is just to let you experience the magical experience of being caught that I just mentioned. It's really quite fun. As for the taboo you truly seek to explore...

If you aren't afraid of your family knowing, given your age, and relying on my relationship with them, just having your parents called in for criticism and education without detaining you wouldn't be a problem."

Lin Li analyzed seriously.

"Hehe, Father, no no no no—your thinking is still a bit narrow," Bai Bufan swung his index finger left and right deeply. "You just told your child that your superior told you that as long as it's an emergency, even if you were really disarmed by Xiao Jing's mother last time, they would consider it at their discretion, and even let you off, right?

Then in that case, whether the situation is an emergency or not, isn't that up to us father and son to decide?

Your regret from last time, this time, I, as your son, will make up for it for you!

Even if the police come, I will stop them at your door. If they want to pass, they'll have to step over my dead body!"

Lin Li: "..."

You can even come up with such ghost stories as Xiao Jing's mother.

His son is quite smart, it's just that his intelligence isn't used on the right path.

It seems it really might be feasible.

However, he then shook his head seriously: "Bufan, seriously speaking, if you really intend to do that, I won't take you."

Play is play, trouble is trouble; Lin Li wouldn't deliberately lead his brother astray for the sake of a task.

This isn't taking a brother to an internet cafe or helping a brother fight; the matter is still a bit more serious.

If Bai Bufan got sick or addicted, Lin Li would be hard-pressed to shirk the blame.

Furthermore, if the fellow junior brother taken along was eaten clean by the Joyous Sect evildoers, would the low-energy system consider that he had completed the task?

—Emphasizing, this reason is the most secondary.

"Don't worry, I'm joking. I'm actually afraid of getting sick, and I don't want to give my first time in this kind of environment," Bai Bufan said with a smile.

"Bai Bufan, can you swear on your chicken roll?" Lin Li is a person who is very good at learning.

Bai Bufan: "..."

"You don't trust your buddy?" Bai Bufan was angry.

"Mm-hmm, take an oath."

"You know what kind of person I am. Usually, I can... what was it? I forgot the beginning, forgot the middle, forgot the end. In short, I'm also a child-faced wolf."

"Mm-hmm, take an oath."

"Fine, fine, I'll really swear. I, Bai Bufan..." This time, Bai Bufan didn't stop halfway like Lin Li did just now, but finished the oath.

Although oaths are meant to be broken, and Luo River remains a joke to this day because of Sima, it wouldn't be like that between Bai Bufan and Lin Li.

Actually, there's no need to swear; Bai Bufan has been bragging from just now until now.

Let alone fifteen-year-old Bai Bufan, in fact, most people in this world are very curious about this matter, but even if they really know the channels, those with strict upbringing or who are relatively well-behaved, those who dare to try it alone are few and far between.

People really need partners.

One of the greatest sources of courage is companions.

Just like when school starts, the teacher asks those who didn't do their homework to stand up; if you are the only one standing up—your heart goes 'thump', it's over.

But if a group of people stand up—hehe.

This is ultimately an illegal act. If Lin Li dared to go to the final step, Bai Bufan might have followed after struggling and hesitating; if it were only him, then damn it, forget it.

Thinking that if any accident happened, he would be the only one finished, Bai Bufan was scared.

"Just treat it as you treating me to a foot massage for free." Bai Bufan nodded.

"That's fine, then wait for my notification. If I can find clues quickly, I can take you on an adventure this weekend." After agreeing, Lin Li also nodded, then he stood up; there was only one minute left until class officially started:

"Since it's settled, I have to go to the station now."

"Father, are you going to register me on the whitelist in advance so you won't really arrest me then? This is too well-connected," Bai Bufan said with some admiration.

Being able to become a police informant is indeed awesome.

So powerful.

"The station I'm going to is the restroom." There was almost no time left, and Lin Li didn't look back.

"F—" Bai Bufan cursed after a second of silence, then stopped abruptly.

No, Lin Li is his father now.

Li XP is not advisable.

"Until you confirm which day you're taking me on an adventure, I'm changing back to Bai Bufan, you dog bastard," Bai Bufan said expressionlessly.

The father-son relationship between the two vanished into thin air at noon after Lin Li replicated his feat of ordering five meat dishes without rice.

Lin Li smiled contemptuously.

The two parted ways at the bottom of the teaching building, becoming strangers.

—Bai Bufan returned to the dormitory, while Lin Li, as a day student, naturally could only return to the classroom.

If it were near the monthly exams, there would be quite a few students staying in the classroom for self-study at noon, but when Lin Li returned to the classroom today, there was basically no one, only two, one male and one female, sitting in the front rows, neither of whom he knew well.

"My memory seems to have really gotten better." Lin Li looked at the paragraph the English teacher would have him recite next class again, and after trying it, he exclaimed with some pleasant surprise.

At this moment, Lin Li's memory had already improved by 100%.

Halfway through the fourth class in the morning, Lin Li saw the message notification: 【Task Three completed】

【You have received the reward: Physique improvement: Memory improved by 100%; System currency *50.】

However, following that was a task with a longer derivative time, just like the Body Tempering Eight-Section Brocade.

【If one wishes to wear down stone with water, accumulation is indispensable. Cultivation is endless; after taking a step, you have already glimpsed the preciousness of the experience of predecessors.

Six hours pass in the blink of an eye; why not persist again and seek the Great Dao?】

【Task Three: Listen and study carefully when sect elders, managers, and protectors preach and resolve doubts, accumulating twenty-four hours.】

【Rewards: Physique improvement: Comprehension improved by 10%; Memory improved by 100%; Random cultivation technique *1.】

The task requirements quadrupled, but the rewards were also quite rich. Although the improvement in comprehension was only 10%, Lin Li's understanding was that this could directly make him 10% smarter, and the effect should still be quite fierce.

And studying is just studying; if he didn't study, Lin Li would have nothing to do at school anyway.

As long as he maintained the efficiency of these few days, he could take down this task within two weeks.

This system was persuading him to study hard on one hand and persuading him to linger in chicken farms on the other.

It could be considered blooming in both literature and sports.
