Chapter 436: Has no one felt that a 240Hz refresh rate is still too low?

~9 min read 1,782 words

If Lin Li could hear the proctor's inner thoughts, he would definitely refute them.

Where exactly was he "slack"?

It was clearly very tight and well-lubricated, okay?

According to unofficial history, the brand "Three Squirrels" was called "Three Tight Squirrels" before meeting Wang Ze, but Wang Ze believed that even "Three Tight Squirrels" couldn't compare to Lin Li.

That is just how high the gold content is.

"Waiting for a response from the regulatory system, please wait—"

"Test results: Pass!"

The small interlude ended. After a few minutes of completing the remaining section, when the test car returned to the south gate of Xiren Driving School, the driving test system gave a passing grade that came as no surprise.

"Nice!!"

Upon receiving this result, the most excited person was still not Lin Li, but Yu Jianan, who was waiting at the school gate.

After all, there was finally some good news today. Although Yu Jianan suspected it might be the only good news, he decided to be happy first, regardless of how painful the subsequent difficulties might be.

"Coach, mission accomplished." Lin Li himself didn't feel much about it; it was just a natural outcome. However, he didn't spoil the mood after getting out of the car and nodded at Yu Jianan with a smile.

"Good, good, good!" Yu Jianan patted Lin Li on the shoulder with gratification.

Immediately, he looked at Old Lü in the passenger seat, wanting to be happy and claim credit by saying to his old friend, "There's finally one today who doesn't give you a headache."

Before the words could leave his mouth, Yu Jianan was stunned: Why was this "Dog Official's" expression still so poor?

Why did it feel like the way he was looking at him was like he was cursing?

Understood. It must be that the psychological shadow cast by the "Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix" from earlier was too great; Lin Li's excellence hadn't fully soothed his wounded body and mind.

He offered an apologetic smile, thinking he would make amends during lunch; there was no need to reminisce now since it was exam time. Yu Jianan pulled Lin Li toward the school gate:

"At the latest five minutes, if it's fast, your Subject Three pass status has already refreshed. You can just take your ID card to the computer room at the school to take the Subject Four exam. Subject Four is very simple, a guaranteed pass. The next session starts at 10:00, so you have about twenty minutes, which is just right.

Today is the weekend, and the traffic management office is closed, so you definitely won't get your physical driver's license today. As for the electronic license, it should be approved by this afternoon.

But the physical one will definitely be out by Monday. If it's inconvenient for you to pick it up while at school, just pay the shipping fee on the app and apply for delivery. It's very fast if it's local."

There was no need to warn about the common pitfalls of Subject Four; Yu Jianan's trust in Lin Li had reached a state of perfection, and he went straight to "arranging the aftermath."

"Okay, Coach." Lin Li nodded.

Arriving at the gate, a young man was standing there, his gaze currently fixed on Yu Jianan and Lin Li.

Noticing this gaze, Yu Jianan lifted his chin with a hint of encouragement:

"Little Cheng, you heard the prompt just now, right? He passed Subject Three easily on his first try, which is a good start. You should also work hard. Hopefully, when he comes out after finishing Subject Four, he'll see you standing at the gate waiting to take your next exam."

The young man called Little Cheng nodded slightly, looking a bit constrained, and smiled at Lin Li with envy in his eyes.

"Lin Li, this is also my student. It's his turn to test soon. Do you have any experience you can share with him?" Yu Jianan looked at Lin Li.

"There's not much experience to speak of for this kind of exam; just let things take their natural course."

"That's true," Yu Jianan sighed helplessly, feeling a bit frustrated that his student couldn't live up to his expectations:

"Little Cheng actually knows how to do it; he's fine during practice, but he's timid. Whenever he faces a real exam, his operations always get distorted, and when he encounters interfering road conditions, his brain completely crashes. Sigh."

"I can tell," Lin Li nodded at Little Cheng, who was wringing his hands and standing uneasily.

After a half-second pause, Lin Li smiled, his intentions unclear.

Lin Li suddenly looked at Little Cheng enthusiastically: "I have experience in this area, Brother Cheng. Why don't you try my method?"

"Huh?" Little Cheng immediately looked at Lin Li, who was younger than him but already his senior in driving tests, his eyes expectant: "There's a method? What method?"

"Aren't you timid?"

"Yes..."

"Then isn't it simple? Haven't you heard the old saying, 'Alcohol gives courage to the cowardly'? Drink some alcohol before the exam starts!" Lin Li clapped his hands, his eyes showing a hint of "How could you not think of this?" blame.

"Ah?" Little Cheng's brain couldn't process this for a moment. "Drink... drink alcohol?"

"Can you drink alcohol?"

"I can drink a little..."

"Then when you're tipsy after drinking, will you still be particularly nervous?"

"I... probably not."

"Then that's it! Huh?" Lin Li clapped again, then stepped forward to drape his arm over Little Cheng's shoulder, looked around, and led him toward the small shop across the street:

"It just so happens there's a shop over there. I'll take you for a quick drink now. You're about to test, right?

Let's drink some white liquor; it hits the head fast. If you can't finish it, the rest can just be given to the Dog Official."

"Dog Official?"

"That's the examiner. The coach and I both call him Dog Official. When you two clink glasses and become brothers of a different generation, what else is there to say? He'll just pass you, won't he?"

"Oh, oh..."

The two walked toward the shop across the street, arms around each other's shoulders, chatting.

Yu Jianan: "w(Д)w???"

Watching their backs, Yu Jianan's brain crashed.

Yu Jianan felt that this was absurd, you know?

He felt his current emotions were like returning home to find his son saying to him with embarrassment and shyness, "I'm going to be a father," and before he could even be happy about becoming a grandfather, he found himself being dragged by his son to a pawnshop, where his son asked the owner, "How much can my dad be pawned for? Is fifty cents okay?"

That was about it, a shift in emotion from "great joy" to "what the hell are you doing, you turtle son."

Coming back to his senses, the two had already walked several meters away. Yu Jianan realized he was a human and had to stop this behavior, so he rushed up and pressed a hand on each of their shoulders!

"Wait! Wait a minute!! You two! Stand still!"

After stopping them, seeing Lin Li and Little Cheng looking at him with innocent, confused, and puzzled eyes, for a moment, Yu Jianan even doubted if he was the one who was wrong.

Perhaps I am not a human?

No! I am!

"Who the hell taught you to drink before driving? Drunk driving gets 12 points deducted, and your license is suspended immediately! Driving under the influence leads to revocation! What are you thinking!!"

Little Cheng suddenly realized: "Eh, the coach is right."

Lin Li: "But we don't have a license yet."

Little Cheng suddenly realized again: "Tsk, the little brother is also right."

Yu Jianan: "Driving without a license while drunk means going to jail!!"

Little Cheng realized for the third time: "Uh, the coach is the one who is right."

Lin Li: "Then let's hire a designated driver after drinking. Isn't that how it's done? Besides, you're nervous."

Little Cheng realized for the fourth time: "Hey, the little brother is the most right!"

Yu Jianan: "..."

It seemed his "Fledgling Phoenix Number Two" was so nervous that his brain had completely broken down.

Yu Jianan's gaze then shifted to Lin Li.

He always felt that Lin Li was not only going to be the student under him who got a driver's license the fastest, but also the one who had it revoked the fastest.

The fastest legend of Xiling!

The speed-running hero of the Empire's motor vehicles!

Could it be that next week Lin Li would be asking him how to retake the driving test?

However, what needed to be worried about now was not this, but preventing Lin Li from continuing to lead Little Cheng down a path of no return. Therefore, Yu Jianan immediately pried Lin Li's hand off Little Cheng's shoulder, becoming the third party inserting himself between them.

Then he pushed Lin Li toward the inside of the driving school, saying sincerely while pushing:

"Lin Li, I know your starting point is good, but don't start yet. I will find other ways to make Little Cheng not nervous. Your top priority now is to go outside the school's computer room and hurry up to memorize the Subject Four question bank. Subject Four is actually very difficult; if you're not careful, you'll fail. You must pull yourself together and deal with it!"

"Okay, Coach, I'm going." Everything that needed to be done was done, so Lin Li followed the advice and turned to leave with a smile.

Watching Lin Li's retreating back, Yu Jianan finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He decided to revise his previous judgment.

Being Lin Li's homeroom teacher and subject teacher was at most only moderately happy, not particularly happy, because Yu Jianan always felt that in school, there was a small probability that Lin Li would cause some small trouble.

But it didn't matter. After today, it wouldn't be so easy to meet Lin Li again.

Better to take care of the matter at hand and try to get Little Cheng to pass Subject Three.

Thinking of this, Yu Jianan turned his head back.

"Little Cheng, let me tell you, you—where are you???"

Yu Jianan, who had turned back, found that Little Cheng was not in his previous position halfway through his instructions.

"Coach, I'm here!!"

Little Cheng's voice came from afar.

Yu Jianan looked up.

At the entrance of the small shop, Xiao Cheng, having just finished paying, took a bottle opener borrowed from the owner and popped open a Freljord currency with a 'pop' sound.

Yu Jianan: "(゜▽゜)?"
