Chapter 366

"Then I'm going upstairs." Chen Yuying held the warm milk tea, stood at the entrance of the building, and said to Lin Li.

"Okay." Lin Li nodded with a smile, the scent of the girl's shower gel and shampoo from the hug still lingering on the tip of his nose.

Baby, hurry up and go. He can't wait to wait for you to leave and then epically inhale the scent from his clothes.

"Then see you tomorrow, my young master~" After finishing with a perfect head-tilt kill and a smile, Chen Yuying ran into the building, but looked back from time to time.

Lin Li waved with a smile.

After Chen Yuying went downstairs, the two didn't actually do anything, just walked downstairs holding hands.

And even holding hands, it was only after confirming that they had left the range of vision that humans could see with the naked eye in Chen Yuying's house.

They didn't walk for long either. After all, Chen Yuying's excuse was just to go downstairs to get a package and buy a drink. If it took too long, Zhongdeng would inevitably be suspicious.

So the time they spent together downstairs was actually less than ten minutes.

But it was enough.

The two are not in a long-distance relationship, not in a different-school relationship, and not even in a different-class relationship. Chen Yuying insisted on coming down just because she felt that Lin Li had worked hard for ninety-nine steps for this meeting, so no matter what, she had to take one step.

She couldn't let Lin Li be busy alone.

He showed his liking for her, so she had to show her liking for him.

After the figure could no longer be seen, Lin Li looked down at his wrist. The blue hairband had been confiscated.

But replacing it was a brand-new small hair tie that fit his wrist better.

Lin Li nodded with satisfaction, turned and went to the intersection, preparing to take a taxi home.

Decided, he'll call Chen Yuying later and have her call him "young master" a few more times!

Of course, Lin Li wouldn't let Chen Yuying suffer a loss.

As a price, Lin Li could reluctantly call Chen Yuying "mom" a few times.

Hehe, that must feel great, Yingbao.

The next day, at noon.

"Seems to be a technique quite useful in modern times."

In the bedroom, Lin Li, who had finished the phased translation and tried to study for a while, closed the technique manual in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and said with slight surprise.

Then he manifested the "Formless Sword," let it go into the trash can to possess a small wonton, flew out of the trash with a tissue, and landed on the tile floor.

Thunder marks, accompanied by a slight crackling sound, appeared and disappeared on Lin Li's right hand, which was decorated with a new hair tie (emphasizing again, no showing off, purely padding the word count, by the way, by the way, there wouldn't be anyone who doesn't have one, right?), illuminating the bedroom.

When Lin Li waved his hand and let it fall, the lightning exploded on the paper ball with a bang. Accompanied by a crisp "pop" sound, firelight appeared and began to burn and leap.

Looking at the flames in front of him, Lin Li held his breath and concentrated, operating the technique. He saw water droplets beginning to condense at his fingertips, gradually becoming a floating water ball.

"Shoo—"

The water ball flew toward the fire in front of him with Lin Li's thought.

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

This fire only had a small paper ball and no other accelerants, so the flame wasn't big. When this small water ball struck, it instantly extinguished, making a sizzling sound of water vaporization.

Lin Li nodded with satisfaction.

The reason he knew this new little trick was because after swimming for three hours at the swimming pool again in the morning, Task Two was finally completed.

And the reward for the Five Elements task is 【Constitution Improvement: Technique effect increased by 100%; Technique: Five Elements Essential Arts; Random Magic Treasure *1; System Currency *150】.

The scope of this constitution improvement for technique effects is very wide, at least Lin Li's "Clear and Upright Thunder Control Method" is completely included.

The Thunder Method was originally the direction Daoist Shanqing was best at. Lin Li catered to his preferences this month—letting Shanqing guide him in more places, and focusing on this method during his daily practice.

Just now, the thunder striking the paper ball to start a fire was nothing but easy for Lin Li now.

And this was the result of holding back his strength just to make it catch fire.

After having this buff, the power could truly be doubled.

Lin Li's thunder's attack range after leaving his body was once no more than one meter. Now, although the effect will still decrease sharply with distance, ten-plus meters is no longer a problem.

If the distance is only a few meters, Lin Li believes he should already have the lethality to directly electrocute someone to death.

If he goes to Pingjiang City again one day, Lin Li will definitely secretly electrocute that childbirth simulator until it breaks.

Remember, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, thirty years north of the river, thirty years I'm not in!

The "Five Elements Essential Arts" technique is as its name implies, covering the five elements, but internally it is divided into five independent chapters of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as a large comprehensive chapter.

The content of the comprehensive chapter is actually more than all the five elements chapters combined.

Lin Li hasn't translated it yet, just took a rough look. It talks about the general techniques for various elements in practicing this method, as well as the combination and linkage between the five elements.

The clever combination between elements can cause qualitative changes.

Anyone who has played Plants vs. Zombies knows that as long as you use the 175 Ice Pea Shooter with the 175 Torchwood, water and fire combined, each attack can cause 20 points of high damage to zombies!

This is a technique that PVZ high-level players call "in the know" when they see it, shared for free.

This is the charm of element linkage.

The water ball Lin Li condensed now is a basic technique he couldn't help but learn after translating a little bit of the "water" chapter of this technique.

The current condensation speed is very slow, and there is almost no power, but it's normal, it's only been a few minutes since he learned it.

It can only be said that this technique is quite promising in the future.

If he learns the "water" chapter thoroughly, he should be able to walk on water as if on flat ground, or even more comfortably than on flat ground.

By then, when peak Phelps sees Lin Li's swimming speed, he will tell his coach that he wants to go into culture.

Moreover, in modern times, Lin Li honestly doesn't need much power. Just being able to conjure fire and water anytime, anywhere is already very cool. There are really too many things that can be developed.

As for the magic treasure reward for the task.

【You have obtained the magic treasure "Li Fire Sword-Nurturing Gourd"】

【Li Fire Sword-Nurturing Gourd: After refining, it can be used to warm and nurture flying swords, increase their power, and at the same time assist in one's own practice, increase sword path insights, nurture sword intent, etc.

Utility and functions increase and add with the level of refining, until fully refined.】

This "Li Fire Sword-Nurturing Gourd" is semi-transparent vermilion all over, with light gold patterns densely covering the surface. The texture is shaped like a talisman, the touch is warm like jade, and it faintly reveals warmth.

The mouth of the gourd is embedded with a circle of dark purple iron rings, the surface of which is covered with fine cracks, but there are faint flames flickering.

It is indeed beautiful, and it feels comfortable to touch. No wonder some people like to play with gourds.

But after Lin Li initially refined it and established a bond, he didn't pay attention to it anymore, and didn't even intend to put the "Formless Sword" inside.

—Wait until today to go to the cultivation world and ask Deng Wen and Daoist Shanqing before deciding.

Rather than blindly feeling the elephant and guessing the use of the magic treasure bit by bit, it's better to look at the reference answers directly.

After studying the technique for a while, Lin Li picked up his phone.

"Chen Yuying: Young Master, Young Master, I'm going to start learning Olympiad math. The teacher has already come. I asked her, and she said I can record the video and watch it privately, just don't upload it to the internet. If you need it, I'll send you a copy then. Anyway, you have a phone, you can watch it."

"Lin Li: Of course, love you 【Heart】"

Actually, it doesn't matter. Lin Li is indeed more than capable of learning it, but why spoil the fun?

As for why Chen Yuying really called Lin Li "Young Master," that was naturally because Lin Li's operation was successful.

Of course, the process was slightly different from what he expected.

—Chen Yuying forbade Lin Li from calling her "mom," and in exchange for this, she said she could call Lin Li "Young Master" for a period of time.

As for how long this period of time is, who knows.

"Ceng Ziang: Shall we go?"

After chatting with Chen Yuying, Lin Li looked at Ceng Ziang's message. It was not yet one o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still fifty minutes until the start time of this social gathering activity.

"Lin Li: Okay, Brother, let's meet at the main entrance of our complex. I'll be there in about five minutes."

Although the distance isn't very far and fifty minutes is more than enough, since it's his first time participating, it's good to arrive early. It's time to set off.

After agreeing to meet Ceng Ziang at the entrance of the complex, Lin Li walked toward the wardrobe in his room and began to dress himself up carefully.

This one is a bit handsome, very good, don't want it.

This one also looks like a human, very good, not wearing it.

Sigh.

Friends who are handsome to a tragic degree all know that when your modeling values are too high, it's quite difficult to use normal clothes to create a particularly ugly effect.

Of course, wanting to be ugly is also simple. Saying you can't dress up to look ugly is nonsense.

Wear clothes from when you were a child, turn into tight clothes and tight pants, and then wear a hat for half an hour to make your hair stick to your scalp. After that, let alone Wu Yanzu or Peng Yuyan, even at the level of Antenna or Ma+7, you have to be honest.

But Lin Li just narcissistically felt that many women would harass him in the afternoon, so he dressed a bit uglier to make them have fewer thoughts, but he didn't intend to become a topic of ridicule.

Because there was a five-minute time limit, Lin Li just matched a relatively point-deducting outfit and came to the entrance of the complex.

At this moment in the complex, the neighborhood committee was still spontaneously organizing to continue the repair activities.

They even started sowing seeds of some ornamental grasses and flowers, imagining the future, still full of vitality and everything competing for growth.

And Lin Li, the leader who brought new life to this complex, has made great contributions.

Therefore, someone in the complex group proposed to build a commemorative statue for the leader, Mr. Lin Li, so that the descendants who enjoy the shade can admire his heroic posture and greatness, but Lin Li hurriedly stopped it. Someone will ask, who is the "someone" who can make this stupid suggestion.

That's right, it's also Lin Li.

The way Lin Li stopped this "someone" was by withdrawing the message.

—Damn, sent it to the wrong group.

"Beep! Beep! Lin Li! Get in the car!" Ceng Ziang's car drove from the opposite side to the entrance. Ceng Ziang in the driver's seat honked the horn, signaling Lin Li at the entrance to get in.

"Coming." Lin Li sat in the passenger seat again.

According to the news in the activity group, Ceng Ziang opened the car navigation, found the location, and officially started the journey.

"......"

"......"

"What's wrong, Brother."

After starting the car, Lin Li, who found that Ceng Ziang would glance at him from time to time, confirmed that it was really the case, and asked with some confusion.

"Lin Li, can you help Brother get a tissue?" Ceng Ziang didn't deny it either, thought for a moment and said.

"Ah? Oh, okay." Lin Li nodded and opened the storage compartment between the two—Lin Li saw Ceng Ziang put the tissues here yesterday.

And the moment Ceng Ziang opened it: "Dang dang dang dang—surprise!"

Lin Li: "(；o_o)?"

Where the tissues were originally placed, there is now a pack of black silk stockings.

Eh, no.

Lin Li slowly looked up at Ceng Ziang and blinked.

Ceng Ziang bathed in the golden sunlight, his smile as warm as Zheng-un:

"Lin Li, you were very disappointed when you found out there were no black silk stockings here yesterday, right? Although Brother doesn't know why you were disappointed, it doesn't matter. You want it to exist, so it can exist, because I am your brother!"

Those who understood were already in tears.

Lin Li couldn't hold it anymore.

It can be seen that Ceng Ziang's guilt is still at work, even doing this kind of thing.

Damn.

"How should I put it... although but... thank you, Brother." Because of laughing, Lin Li spoke a bit intermittently.

"Take it, do what you want to do." Ceng Ziang is a conscientious brother.

"Forget it, there's a traffic police officer ahead. If I put it on my head now, I guess we'll be stopped for inspection immediately." Lin Li shook his head.

Ceng Ziang: "?"

So Lin Li's use is to put it on his head?

"......"

Perhaps a father is a very important role in a child's growth process—Ceng Ziang couldn't help but think so.

Seeing Ceng Ziang's expression gradually becoming weird, Lin Li smiled and told the story of the civil war in Uncle Yan's house with appropriate detail.

The detailed part was "the battle process between Uncle Yan and his wife," even adding fuel to the fire. The omitted part was "why he carried black silk stockings in his pocket and could be pulled out by Uncle Yang."

"U-understood." Ceng Ziang didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

"Sorry, I got it wrong, then this... eh Lin Li, what do you mean by putting it in your pocket."

Lin Li: "Thank you, Brother."

The Black Silk Hero serves the people wholeheartedly, and the citizens repay him with peaches and report with black silk stockings. It's what he deserves, reasonable.

Ceng Ziang: "......"

The black silk topic came to an end. Lin Li remembered one thing, so he suddenly sighed: "Brother, time flies so fast."

Ceng Ziang looked at Lin Li in surprise upon hearing this, and then nodded: "Yes, this weekend is about to end~"

Lin Li: "In the blink of an eye, I'm twenty-three years old. Brother Ziang, can you call me Brother?"

Ceng Ziang: "(；o_o)?"

Your mother's.

When on earth can he predict the next sentence Lin Li is going to say?

"Ah?" Ceng Ziang almost forgot to look at the road.

"Actually, it's like this, Brother. The information I registered at this blind date agency isn't one hundred percent true. I faked it a little bit, so I need your cooperation later, don't expose me."

Lin Li giggled, making a fingertip universe.

Ceng Ziang smiled: "How much is a little?"

Lin Li giggled: "95%."

"There's actually 5% that's true? Which part?" Ceng Ziang questioned.

"Gender."

Ceng Ziang: "......"

Reasonable.

"So... the fake information you have now is twenty-three years old? Then what's your name?"

Just waiting for the red light, Ceng Ziang hammered his forehead helplessly, but actually accepted the inquiry.

"My name is Bai Bufan, Brother. Just kidding, you don't need to call me Brother, just call me Bufan. But because calling you Ziang directly is a bit offensive, I still have to tell you in advance, Brother." Lin Li explained.

"Oh, okay, that's no problem. To put it bluntly, we're only four years apart. It's nothing for you to call me by my name. Bai Bufan, right? I've remembered it." Ceng Ziang waved his hand.

The question he is thinking about now is, since Lin Li came wearing a vest, should he also wear a vest to be safer?

Ceng Ziang picked up his phone—there was no camera at this intersection to take photos, and then sighed:

"No wonder I didn't see you join the group in today's activity group. It turns out there is no 'Lin Li' at all."

"I actually joined the group, but I used a small account." Lin Li smiled.

Ceng Ziang was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to stare at Lin Li: "Wait, is that 'Dream Chicken's Tear Bar' your small account?"

"Damn," Lin Li was a bit surprised, "Brother, so awesome, you guessed it right away?"

Ceng Ziang smiled with relief.

Isn't this a freebie question?

Damn it, when studying the competitors yesterday, seeing this guy come to a blind date with this nickname, I really couldn't hold it.

I was still wondering if this guy could succeed in a blind date, then the woman really doesn't play Honor of Kings.

It turns out it's Lin Li, reasonable.

The distance wasn't very far, and after driving for a while, the two arrived.

After finding a parking space, the two followed the news in the group, and after the review and sign-in by the staff on the first floor, they followed their guidance, took the elevator upstairs, and walked toward the scene.

Arrived.

Because it was a glass door, they could see some scenes inside before entering.

It can be considered an activity room, with an area of nearly one hundred square meters. The area close to the wall is occupied by bookshelves, water dispensers, flowers, tapestries, and other decorations.

The inner space consists of a few large sofas and tables and chairs that look quite comfortable to sit on. People are already sitting scattered around.

The room has warm light, and against the backdrop of beige gauze curtains, it makes people feel very comfortable.

The design should be thoughtful.

The two pushed the door and entered. The sound naturally attracted the attention of almost everyone in the room, men and women alike, all looked over.

Then they stayed on Lin Li's face for a while longer.

The reactions of most men and women were different.

"Hello, hello," a woman at the bar who should be an official activity staff member walked over immediately: "Hello, two gentlemen. The activity time hasn't started yet, and not everyone has arrived, so please take a seat at will and wait a moment.

The coffee and drinks at the bar, as well as some small snacks on the self-service table, are free and can be taken at will.

If you have already seen your favorite target, why not be brave? Why wait until the activity starts? Seize the opportunity of the first move and attack directly~"

The woman clenched her fists to cheer them on and said the official cliché.

"Attack what? I'm here, is it this open... Is this a social gathering or an orgy? Brother, I'm a bit confused." Lin Li whispered to Ceng Ziang.

Although it was a whisper, the staff member who heard it: "......"

"Is this Mr. 'Dream Chicken's Tear Bar'?" The staff member frowned first, then smiled and asked Lin Li politely.

Lin Li's pupils shook.

How did his identity information leak again?
