Chapter 428: Brother Bufan, who is outside of Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy

~9 min read 1,745 words

After being scolded by Xue Jian, Lin Li returned to his seat.

However, it wasn't without gains—after repeatedly emphasizing that he would keep an eye on Old Jian to prevent him from smoking, the task progress jumped, becoming (3/100).

This further strengthened Lin Li's judgment that "this task must not be completed at school."

To finish it at school, it would take until the Year of the Monkey.

The restrictions at school were still too great.

But fortunately, during the day, Lin Li already had a comprehensive plan for this.

As soon as the school bell rang in the evening, Lin Li rode his bike home at the first opportunity and changed his school uniform into his casual clothes.

Afterwards, Lin Li went downstairs, got on his bike again, and headed to his destination for the night—the internet cafe.

There are many non-smoking areas in Nansang. After all, theoretically, all public indoor occasions are non-smoking.

But this is only theory.

In real life, most merchants and customers either don't care or don't know about it at all.

But having many places isn't enough. Another important condition for completing this task is that there must be a lot of people after 10:00 PM—after all, no matter how many people there are at other times, Lin Li can't go over to persuade them.

Combining the above conditions, the first thing Lin Li thought of was the internet cafe.

Perhaps there are KTVs and nightclubs, but KTVs have too much privacy, and in nightclubs, you can't hear anything. Even if you could hear, you would think the person saying nightclubs are non-smoking is a fool; it's impossible to persuade them.

By contrast, the internet cafe became the most suitable compromise target: many people smoke in this occasion, but everyone also knows in their hearts that this place does restrict smoking, it's just that merchants and customers both harbor a lucky mentality and don't take it seriously.

Arrived at the first internet cafe, "Cloud Internet Cafe."

Lin Li walked hurriedly, skipping the front desk and walking inside.

The front desk looked up but didn't care. Seeing Lin Li's eyes were natural and not guilty, he just assumed he was here to find a friend or was a customer who had already opened a machine.

Scanning the lobby quickly, a faint smell of smoke permeated the air, but no target currently committing the act was found for the time being.

Lin Li turned to the private room area.

Few internet cafe private rooms are completely enclosed; most leave an observation window, and "Cloud Internet Cafe" simply had transparent doors, with the situation inside clear at a glance.

After walking a few steps, Lin Li locked onto a six-person room.

There were only three people inside at the moment, but among these three, two were currently lighting mosquito coils.

Lin Li didn't rush in, but took out a brooch-style work badge that could be pinned to his chest from his pocket.

The work badge didn't have any content at the moment because it was the insertable, replaceable kind.

With a thought, a work card paper with the words "Cloud Internet Cafe" and the merchant logo was taken out by Lin Li from the "Qiankun Ring."

Crisply inserting this card paper into the work card, Lin Li pinned it to his clothes.

After doing this, Lin Li hooked a confident smile on the corner of his mouth before calmly pushing open the private room door.

All three were playing chess. Scanning them, they looked like Cardigan dogs.

Playing chess doesn't require full concentration, so after hearing the sound, they all had time to turn their heads to look at Lin Li. Seeing that Lin Li didn't intend to sit in the remaining three seats, their faces were a bit puzzled:

"Hello, are you..."

"Sorry, to disturb the three of you," Lin Li first bowed slightly to the three, then got straight to the point: "Just received a notice, we need to be a bit stricter about smoking in internet cafes recently, so can I ask the two gentlemen to endure it and stop smoking?

Otherwise, we might take measures such as asking you to leave or even fining you."

"Ah..." Hearing Lin Li's statement, the two smoking didn't react at first. After digesting Lin Li's statement, they immediately nodded and very cooperatively pressed the cigarette butts into the paper cup on the table:

"Okay, okay, got it, we won't smoke."

【Persuade face-to-face... one hundred times (4/100)】

Only added 1?

Someone is not honest.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you two, thank you for your cooperation," Lin Li's face didn't show it, but as his figure exited the private room, he added a gentle warning:

"I will have patrols tonight, but if I catch you again, the fine will be at least 50 yuan. If it's an inspection by public officials or reports from other customers, the amount will be as high as 200 yuan, so please take my words to heart, thank you.

Wish you a happy time surfing the internet~"

【Persuade face-to-face... one hundred times (5/100)】

Lin Li, who exited the private room, looked at the system prompt that jumped again and hooked his mouth in satisfaction.

The plan is very feasible.

His trick of playing an internet cafe manager is simply invincible.

After all, if you persuade someone to stop smoking as a passerby, even if you say you can't stand the smell of smoke, smokers will think you are pretentious and troublesome and won't take it to heart. But as an "internet cafe manager who received a notice," the weight of the words suddenly becomes much larger.

Leaving this room, Lin Li continued to patrol other private rooms.

【Persuade face-to-face... one hundred times (9/100)】

Smoking in this shop isn't dense. After walking around once, the task number stopped at 9.

Not waiting in the internet cafe, and after walking around again without any gains, Lin Li immediately left the internet cafe and rode his bike to the next internet cafe.

——Squatting in one internet cafe, you can definitely wait for customers who didn't smoke just now and thus weren't warned by Lin Li but want to smoke, but this efficiency is too low.

Internet cafes aren't rare. Instead of grinding one shop and waiting for fish that slipped through the net, it's definitely better to change to a fish pond.

Arrived at the second destination of the night, "Juxian Internet Cafe."

From the work card on his chest, he pulled out the "Cloud Internet Cafe" small note and put it back into the "Qiankun Ring." With a flip of his finger, a new card paper printed with the words "Juxian Internet Cafe" and the trademark appeared in his palm.

Inserted into the work badge, pinned well, okay, now he has become the manager of "Juxian Internet Cafe."

These card papers were all color-printed and cut at a print shop outside the school after Lin Li's plan took shape this afternoon.

Moreover, the color prints Lin Li has in his "Qiankun Ring" now are far more than just these two.

In fact, Lin Li prepared a work card paper like this for all the internet cafes near his home, whether they were large chain internet cafes or local internet cafes without much fame.

When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.

Even for the current him, his identity might not be as much as Big Ice's.

"So, you guys just won't let anyone smoke here tonight, right?" Taking a fierce puff of the half-cigarette in his hand, the man looked at Lin Li with slightly furrowed brows.

"Very sorry, yes." Lin Li expressed apologetically.

"Fine, I got it," the other party didn't press aggressively, just stood up immediately, shrugged his shoulders, and prepared to leave: "Then I'll change to another shop. I have a heavy addiction; if you don't let me smoke while playing games, I can't stand it."

"Apologize again." Lin Li apologized again, followed him out of the private room, and watched this customer leave.

Most of the billing and deduction in internet cafes nowadays are operated directly through ID cards. This customer left without communicating with the front desk at all, which saved him from worrying about being exposed, and he could continue to stay.

【Persuade face-to-face... one hundred times (15/100)】

And looking at the changes in the task, it seems that forcing people to leave is also a way to complete the task.

Lin Li continued to explore forward.

Found another one.

"Sorry to disturb you, just received a notice, we recently..." Lin Li pushed open the private room door and walked in, reciting the fixed script to the only person in the private room smoothly.

The man, who was operating his computer with one hand, turned his head at these words, his expression filled with a hint of confusion as he stared at Lin Li.

He subconsciously took another puff of smoke, his gaze focused on the work badge on Lin Li's chest, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter: "Buddy, are you the manager?"

"Yes." Lin Li nodded, pointed to his work badge, his tone carrying unquestionability: "Please cooperate with my work."

The other party temporarily put the cigarette on the table, nodded, then unzipped his jacket, revealing the small vest with the four big characters "Juxian Internet Cafe" written inside, looked at Lin Li, pointed at the four characters with his finger, and asked back in the same tone:

"If you are the manager, then what am I?"

Lin Li: "(; o_o)?"

Lin Li's gaze scanned the computer screen.

Oh, this guy doesn't seem to be playing games, but repairing the computer.

Oh my, isn't this the Water Margin Temple being washed away by the Great Water, and family members not recognizing family members?

Lin Li's expression became solemn, gazing into the other party's eyes, his hands spread out, constantly making strange circles in front of the manager, his voice soft but carrying an inexplicable bewitchment:

"You are a loli... you are a loli... you are a loli..."

Manager: "(; o_o)?"

When confusion appeared in the manager's eyes, Lin Li felt his hypnosis might have succeeded, so he stopped his hand movements temporarily, and asked with expectation: "Now tell me, who are you?"

No, is this person sick?

The manager's mouth twitched: "I'm your dad."

Hearing this, Lin Li frowned slightly. He suspected that this person seemed to be scolding him. ===== CHAPTER 429 =====
