Chapter 329

No one in this world can leave a barbershop unscathed.

After the store manager heard Lin Li's words clearly, he trembled with fear.

So he wasn't helping him introduce customers, but was making an appointment to fight him?

"Young man, tell me where you're dissatisfied. We haven't cut the hair yet, it's just a wash and blow. As long as we wash it again, it will be restored immediately. There's still a way back, no need for this, no need..."

The store manager stepped back and protected the apprentice in front of him, saying sheepishly.

And he felt that his finished product was really very good. Lin Li's model was too top-tier; it would be hard to make it look like shit.

As for the apprentice, he looked back at the store manager.

How can this store manager be so bad? Sure enough, the bottom line of adults will disappear slowly, just like the hairline.

"No, I'm joking, just livening up the atmosphere. I'm quite satisfied." Lin Li stood up, approached the mirror to look again, and said with a smile toward the two people in the mirror.

It was just a very natural blow-out with texture and layering, adjusted just right.

As for hairstyles, after taking it seriously, it really does improve the overall appearance quite a bit.

Even a goblin, as long as they carefully groom their hair, can become a handsome goblin.

"Oh oh, that's good," the store manager let out a long sigh of relief upon hearing this, scaring himself, and then stepped forward and said: "Then fine, since you're satisfied, let's put some product in to set the style."

"Okay."

"Handsome, have you considered getting a perm or color? To be honest, after a perm or color, combined with this face of yours, it would definitely be even more perfect," he started spraying setting spray, and the store manager's mouth couldn't stay idle again:

"Also, as long as you agree to cooperate with us in filming a video and posting it on our shop's Douyin account, I can give you a 50% discount."

When saying this, the other party deliberately lowered his voice to prevent the female customer getting her hair done nearby from hearing.

Look, this world says appearance doesn't matter and inner beauty is the real beauty, but in reality, people with good looks are always given various preferential treatments.

I can only say, if your values are right, please be friends with me; if your facial features are right, please be with me, any position is fine.

"Boss, I'm still a student, the school won't allow it, forget it." Lin Li said with a smile.

"Oh oh, that's a pity. But if you're interested during winter or summer break, you can come find me." The store manager could only nod with regret upon hearing this.

It's not easy to find a model who is free and can even bring in returns.

"Okay."

After the setting spray was applied, Lin Li and the store manager went to the front desk.

"First time here, why not get a membership card? We just launched an event today. After getting the card, you can enjoy a 20% discount. It's very cost-effective."

After the store manager wrote something in the notebook at the front desk with a pen, he pointed to the poster behind him that indeed looked like it had just been posted, and introduced it.

"No—" Lin Li naturally chose to refuse, but when he saw the content of the poster, he was stunned:

"... Um, boss, have you seen this poster yourself?"

Seeing that Lin Li's eyes were wrong, the store manager also turned back to look at the poster.

"..."

The store manager turned his head and looked at the apprentice who was playing with his phone, and shouted: "Xiao Guang!"

"Ah? Eh! Boss! What's wrong!" The apprentice hurriedly put down his phone and ran over.

"How did you make this poster!!"

"What's wrong? Isn't it according to what you said?" The apprentice looked at the poster himself, looking bewildered, not understanding why the store manager was so fierce.

"Didn't I tell you to make it a 20% discount?"

Hearing this, the apprentice squinted his eyes this time, looked carefully for a while, and then scratched his head: "Didn't I write it clearly according to your requirements?"

The store manager was so angry he laughed, pointing at the poster: "Come, come, come, read these words to me. What is called 'Membership card top-up one hundred, account balance eighty', huh?! Answer me!!!"

"What's wrong with this?" The apprentice's brows furrowed even tighter.

Where exactly did the problem go wrong?

Facing the apprentice's sincere eyes, the store manager suddenly smiled with relief, his anger dissipated in an instant, and he just patted the apprentice's head:

"Child, is your junior high school diploma fake? Tell me sincerely, brother won't laugh at you."

Lin Li was no longer in the barbershop; he rode his bike to school.

Today's departure arrangement was for him, Bai Bufan, and Qu Wanqiu to take a taxi together, then first arrive downstairs at Ding Sihan's house, which is closer to the school, pick her up, and then the four of them would be just right for one car, going directly to Pinglu Street.

As for Chen Yuying, it would be more convenient for her to go directly from home; she didn't need to gather with the four of them.

"The nurse's cucumber, soaking since the year of birth~"

Because it wasn't the agreed departure time yet, after arriving at school, Lin Li walked toward the dormitory humming a song.

"Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!" Lin Li knocked on the door.

The dormitory door was opened, and it was Chen Tianming.

"Fuck, Lin Li, did you perm your hair?" For people who are familiar, it's too easy to notice changes in hairstyle. Chen Tianming, who was originally prepared to say other things, widened his eyes and sighed.

Lin Li shook his head upon hearing this and explained with a smile:

"My divine ability gives me a chance to obtain it—but it requires paying a relatively large, irreversible price. I am considering whether there is a need to do so," Lin Li briefly rephrased the description.

"How much did you spend to get it done like this?" Chen Tianming was obviously somewhat moved.

"One thousand five hundred, cents." Lin Li answered.

"Disturbing... Lin Li, you're a bastard! Don't use cents as a unit at a time like this!" Chen Tianming, who had already retreated after hearing the number, rolled his eyes and gave him the middle finger after hearing the unit clearly.

"How expensive can a wash and blow be? Although I don't know the prices of the barbershops near the school, it probably won't be much different." Lin Li laughed.

"Ok! I'll go try it too." Chen Tianming took out his phone, took a few photos of Lin Li's head to use as a template for the barber, and then walked directly out the door.

Lin Li walked into the dormitory. The lights weren't even on, and Bai Bufan was lying on his upper bunk, silent.

Oh oh, no wonder there was no sound. Lin Li thought Bai Bufan didn't want to talk to him because Wang Ze screwed him yesterday; it turned out he was dead.

He had a rough idea in his heart.

Very good, it was time to go home and prepare to go play well tomorrow. Let the mission or whatever go to hell.

Ride-hailing cars weren't easy to drive in here, and it would be troublesome to tell the driver where he was later, so Lin Li walked back.

"Pat."

Kicking something while running, Lin Li stopped his pace and saw a wallet that had just been kicked away by him.

Stepping forward to pick it up, there wasn't much cash in the wallet, just one hundred, one fifty, a few coins left, and a few bank cards or membership cards.

Searching through it, he didn't find any identity information.

Lin Li, who had a net worth of 40 million, naturally wouldn't covet these things. Closing the wallet, he walked toward the stall on the side of the road and asked gently:

"Auntie, do you know where the lost and found office is here?"

Although the market night market was something left over after convention, it still needed official approval and management now, so there must be a place like a lost and found office.

"Lost and found office? Just over there at the street office, I'm not sure, why don't you go take a look yourself?" The stall owner frowned and thought for a while, then pointed in a direction and answered unconfidently.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Auntie."

The stall owner wasn't wrong. Although it was very sloppy, there was indeed a "Lost and Found Office" newly posted here.

"Uncle, I picked up this wallet near position 300-something on the street just now. I don't know who lost it. I'm putting it here. Please help me find the owner." After reaching the window, Lin Li handed the wallet through the small opening.

"Understood, put it here. I'll thank the owner for you," the staff member nodded and said to Lin Li with a smile.

"No problem."

Lin Li waved his hand indifferently and turned to leave.

Then he paused his footsteps.

—The "Gold" of Mission 2 moved again.

Eh?

The progress of "Gold" was almost non-existent, but just now, in an instant, it rose by a section.

Of course, it was good news, but Lin Li, who had mission progress, had a confused face.

Your mother.

What kind of "Gold" tempering is this?

Yes, his act of returning lost property indeed counts as resisting the temptation of money, but how can the "Gold" in the five elements be the gold of money?

Lin Li was shocked and didn't understand.

System, you don't look for HR when you're a technician—you don't do human things.

After being stunned for a while, Lin Li's expression was complex.

Regardless of anything else... at least it gave him a direction. Lin Li put the phone that had already opened the ride-hailing software back into his pocket and looked at the night market.

"Uncle, I picked up this wallet, phone, clothes, and backpack at position 447 on Pinglu Street just now. I'm putting it here." Lin Li appeared at the window again.

"Picked it up again? People nowadays, really, each and every one of them doesn't watch their things well. This person even more so, how can they be so careless to lose so much? Alright, put it here! Thank you!"

The staff member was slightly surprised, then nodded, complaining about the person who lost it.

When the light at the window was blocked by an object, the staff member looked up and saw it was Lin Li again, and he was stunned for a moment.

Lin Li giggled: "Uncle, I picked up this five-yuan banknote by the river just now. I'm putting it here."

"Eh? Five, five yuan?" After hearing this, the staff member was stunned for the second time.

To be honest, five yuan—even if the loser discovered they lost it, it was highly probable they wouldn't come here to look for it and would just admit their bad luck, right?

But forget it, it was also the good intention of the teenager who was good at picking things up. The staff member still nodded with a smile:

"Okay, you put it here."

When the staff member looked up and found it was Lin Li's good-looking but somewhat annoying face again, his mouth twitched.

how: how; are: is; you: you.

howareyou?: Why is it you.

howtmoldareyou!!: Why is it always you!!

"Child... what did you pick up again."

Lin Li poured a few coins onto the small platform of the window, clatter, clatter, and then introduced enthusiastically:

"Uncle, here are four one-yuan coins and one fifty-cent coin, picked up at position 90 and 305 respectively, and there's also a position 100 meters away from the alley entrance..."

Although Lin Li was like counting family treasures.

But the staff member wanted to set him up.

(；o_o)?

"Child," the staff member's expression was complex, "... this kind of money, Uncle thinks, why don't you just take it and use it yourself if you pick it up? It doesn't matter, you don't have to hand it over to me here, everyone understands..."

Damn it, in front of him, one of the coins Lin Li gave him was covered in dirt.

This was clearly thrown in the dirt for a long time, right? How did this child pick up this money?

Did he turn the ground over?

This child wouldn't be treating himself as a joke and coming to torture him on purpose, right?

"How can that be." However, Lin Li shook his head upon hearing this, staring at the staff member. Although his words were calm, they were much more serious:

"Uncle, returning lost property is a virtue. Do not fail to do good because it is small, and do not do evil because it is small."

"'I picked up a penny on the side of the road' is sung by all of us. Picking up property that doesn't belong to you, no matter how much, cannot be taken as your own!"

"This is not a question of amount, this is a question of principle."

"Uncle, these words of yours, are they worthy of your status as a Young Pioneer! Are they worthy of your red scarf!"

Staff member: "..."

How old am I, and I'm still a Young Pioneer.

"It's my thinking that went wrong, sorry..." But these words were too dazzling. The staff member didn't dare to look directly at Lin Li or refute, lowering his head in guilt, "... give me the money, I'll register it all."

"That's right~" Lin Li was gratified.

A few minutes later, when he saw Lin Li appear not far away again, the staff member felt dead inside. He sighed first, then braced his spirit, smiled, and asked after Lin Li approached:

"Child, what did you pick up again this time."

Lin Li seemed to be stunned for a moment, then spread his hands: "I picked up two cigarette butts and a plastic bottle. Uncle, do you want them?"

Staff member: (；o_o)?

Hey! Wait!

"Child! We are a lost and found office here, not a garbage recycling station! You giving us this is disturbing our work! Let's see how you can argue now! I really can't take it anymore!"

The staff member was suddenly a bit excited, stood up, pressed the table, and shouted at Lin Li excitedly.

He had been suspicious all along, but he hadn't found an opportunity!

Now that he had finally found a handle, it was his turn to stand on the moral high ground and attack this child!

"Ah? I know that, of course. I definitely didn't intend to give it to you. I'm looking for a trash can to throw it away. Look, this trash can." Lin Li was even more confused, his words innocent.

And his eyebrows gradually frowned, his gaze at the staff member gradually becoming strange, full of confusion and misunderstanding, and even concern.

Staff member: "... o_o."

"Haha, haha, ha, th-that's how it is." The staff member didn't know what to do except for awkward laughter.

His smile gradually became desperate.

Grass, so fucking embarrassing.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

With a bang, the window of the lost and found office was closed, and the curtains were drawn.

And Lin Li shrugged with a look of surprise, threw the cigarette butts into the trash can, patted his hands to remove the dust, and hailed a taxi home again.

He never thought about playing with the staff member, and he wasn't doing it on purpose just now.

It's just that there aren't that many people losing things at the same time in this world. 【329

After posing a few poses that highlighted his muscles, Wang Ze said proudly:

"I specially went to ask the coach for the key last night. After buying flowers, I also went to the school gym to work out. Look, these muscles, are they very obvious?"

"Love is truly a wonderful thing. Thinking last night that I would be single no more today, I deadlifted 190 jin at my limit. My limit was only 180 before, a big breakthrough!"

"Holy shit, so awesome."

Only insiders know how awesome this number is. Lin Li was somewhat shocked.

"Average, average."

Being looked at with this kind of gaze by a grade-one student like Lin Li was still very satisfying. Wang Ze's mouth could barely stop from smiling, but he still had to wave his hand and pretend to be very humble.

"This is really not average. Brother, teach me, will you?" Lin Li was truly impressed, so he immediately stepped forward to massage Wang Ze's shoulders, flatteringly seeking the secret technique:

As expected of the Heavenly Secret Mirror, the opening was so magnificent, involving the sun and moon.

"..."

Wang Ze, whose technique was about to blurt out, suddenly fell silent.

(; o_o)?

The proud smile on his face completely stiffened. Wang Ze looked at Lin Li, then at the balcony, his mouth opening and closing, wanting to speak but stopping, wanting to stop but speaking, wanting to speak but stopping.

His deadlift technique can help a 150-jin athlete reach 160.

But it can't help this 1.5-jin athlete.

"... What the fuck are you deadlifting!! If I were the front desk, I'd really have to control you!!" Wang Ze roared and questioned.

Look, anxious again.

Lin Li sighed, and with a gentle smile on his face, he said to Wang Ze:

"Alright, Wang Ze, even if you have more shit, so what if you can lift 190 jin at once? Listen to brother's advice, how should I put this outfit of yours.

It's fine to wear it if you want, after all, it's just a night market today.

If you and the senior sister had an appointment to go out for the Lantern Festival, then you really can't wear this set, really.

Because it's very likely that when you two are dating happily, you'll see a child very excitedly pulling his mother's hand and shouting at you two:

"Girl! It's a girl!"

You hear it and get very angry, roll up your sleeves to show your muscles and masculinity, and prepare to fight this rude child, how can he speak so vulgarly, but then you hear the child turn to his mother and say:

"Mom, mom! I guessed the answer to this walking riddle! It's the word 'girl'! Right!"

The child's mother hurriedly says to you "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, children speak without thinking," and hugs the child and walks in the opposite direction, but you will hear her low whisper floating in the air: "Xiao Bao is so smart! He guessed the answer all at once."

But the child is very humble, he waves his hand: "It's not that Xiao Bao is smart, it's that Senior Sister Qian is really a girl, and that mentally disabled, pretending Wang Ze is also a super big ugly monster."

Lin Li even imitated the child's tone, describing it vividly.

Hearing this story with so much private goods and ups and downs, Wang Ze was already laughing on the bed.

Holy shit, Lin Li is really super petty.

He only made up a story to attack him, and his counterattack is actually this fast?

Wang Ze really wanted to kick Lin Li too, but considering that Lin Li was dressed up to go out and play, he finally controlled his desire.

Let's kick him back next week.

After laughing, Wang Ze realized that this insult was quite dirty, so he stopped laughing: "(へ╬)..."

"Is it really that ugly?"

Lin Li pulled Wang Ze to the next room and shouted at Bai Bufan, who was washing up on the balcony:

"Xiao Bao! Stop washing your face! Mom is testing you, this Wang Ze standing next to a girl, guess a riddle."

Bai Bufan, who was washing up, turned his head, examined it carefully for a while, and then gave the answer: "Infant! Isn't this my baby! Baby! I love you!"

Wang Ze: "!"

Lin Li: "?"

"No, did Bufan get addicted to screwing you last night?" Lin Li asked with a twitching mouth, "What do you usually use to wash down there? It wouldn't be ice, would it?"

"This is Wang Ze's charm." Wang Ze chuckled, "Sooner or later, the whole world will love playing Nantong jokes!"

"One day a real one will mix in and you'll be honest."

"If a real one mixes in, my butt will be loose at most, how could I be honest." Wang Ze denied.

Lin Li gave a thumbs up.

Can't roast him.

"Alright, Bufan, seriously speaking, how do you evaluate Wang Ze's outfit." Lin Li asked again.

Bai Bufan pulled the balcony door open a bit more. After seeing it clearly, his expression was complex, wanting to speak but stopping, and finally he waved his hand: "Forget it, what I say is a bit harsh, I'll mute myself first."

Then he pulled the balcony door completely shut, with a bang.

"Ugh—"

"Ugh—"

Muffled vomiting sounds came twice, and the dormitory was quiet, but at this moment, silence was better than sound.

"There." Lin Li raised his hand to signal.

Wang Ze: "..."
