Chapter 440

Having finished his service, Lin Li, hiding his merit and fame, walked calmly toward the school gate.

In the direction of the restroom behind him, one could vaguely hear the suppressed roar of that classmate, Zhang Jing.

Analyzing the content of the roar, it seemed he planned to first grind Zhang Jing's mother's bones into dust, turning Zhang Jing into a single-parent family, and then split Zhang Jing's father in two with a blade, letting Zhang Jing return to being a two-parent family.

A miraculous cure, my friend.

This way, he could vent his anger without causing any substantial loss to Zhang Jing; life wouldn't change, and the two could still be good friends afterward.

Lin Li clicked his tongue, feeling some admiration.

Truly, one learns until one is old, and lives until one is old.

It seems one cannot underestimate the heroes of the world. Although the feng shui of other townships in Nansang might not be as good as Xiling, there is occasionally some shining wisdom on outsiders that can be learned.

If one looks down on all outsiders because of this, one will sooner or later take a big tumble.

Reflect!

Glancing at the time, it was only five minutes until the exam officially started, but Lin Li still returned to the sign.

Squeeze out a bit more progress whenever possible.

Anyway, Lin Li had absolutely no sense of urgency. After all, being late doesn't mean you can't take the exam, as long as you aren't late for too long and get disqualified.

But precisely because there were only six minutes left, the number of students appearing at the gate at this time was not only much smaller than before, but almost everyone was walking in a hurry with anxious expressions.

Almost all candidates from other schools, after reading the sign, would come to ask Lin Li, a local student, one more time to get a definite answer, avoiding the situation of going the wrong way and having to find the place again.

But Lin Li didn't take them to the exam hall again.

Time was too tight; they were all running, so it wasn't a good time to build relationships, and they would definitely prioritize the exam hall over the restroom.

Moreover, accepting his service would cost Sanity points. With only five minutes left, he was afraid there wouldn't be much time left for the victims to adjust their mental state. If this affected the victims' competition results, it would go against Lin Li's original intention.

Bai Bufan is bad, but he shouldn't be that bad!

Therefore, at this moment, Lin Li was just a normal human volunteer, pointing the way for all the hurried candidates.

He would even thoughtfully ask if they had brought tools like gel pens, pencils, and rulers. If not, he had extras on hand that he could give them.

Of course, students from his own school shouldn't come asking; if they do, beat them to death.

When alumni come, there are hunting guns; when enemies come, there is fine wine. Respect.

Grinding progress this way was definitely slower than restroom service, but it was better than nothing.

"..."

"Thanks, thanks!" A boy who received directions said while jogging and looking back.

"You're welcome, there's still time, run slower, be careful not to trip and die."

"...... Thanks."

Lin Li turned back to prepare to receive the next person, but suddenly his eyebrows twitched—it seemed an extraordinary figure had arrived at Nansang Middle School.

Clearly, this person's aura was completely out of place with the surroundings.

Others were in a rush, running into the school as soon as they got off their family's car or a taxi, but he walked into the school step by step at a very slow and leisurely pace.

This person kept his head lowered, wearing the hood of his hoodie over his head, and with a mask on his face, making it impossible to see his features. Precisely because of this, it further highlighted the person's powerful and unique aura.

Lin Li couldn't help but feel a sense of mutual appreciation—clearly, this guy was like him, probably thinking that the preliminary competition questions weren't difficult, that advancing was a sure thing, and that victory was in his grasp, which was why he was so calm and leisurely.

Yes, there were five minutes left until the exam, what was there to be anxious about?

Based on the school uniform the boy was wearing over his hoodie, it could be determined that he was a student from Nansang No. 2 Middle School, and Nansang No. 2 Middle School was also located in Xiling.

Well done, didn't lose face for Xiling!

Praising him a few times in his heart, someone else came to ask for directions, so Lin Li temporarily withdrew his gaze.

The boy slowly approached the exam hall sign. When he heard Lin Li's voice answering other candidates' questions about the exam hall layout, he raised his head slightly, adjusted his direction, and walked toward Lin Li.

Noticing this, Lin Li narrowed his eyes. King meeting King?

Finally, the boy approached Lin Li. Only then did he formally raise his head, his eyes under the brim of his hat looking at Lin Li.

"Stu-dent," the voice came through the mask, carrying a sense of extreme tension, making every word distinct: "May I... ask... where is the... nearest... restroom—"

Lin Li: "?"

He saw that the fabric at the edge of the boy's hood was already soaked with sweat, and fine beads of sweat were constantly seeping out and rolling down his temples. Although the mask covered half his face, the exposed eyes were filled with anxiety and... pain.

After the boy finished speaking, his body seemed to tense up slightly, seemingly out of control.

"Yi~ ah~"

Accompanied by this silver-like cry, an extremely faint but impossible-to-ignore "pfft" sound to Lin Li's hearing came muffled from behind, through the clothing.

What came out wasn't just the sound, but also a pungent stench.

Lin Li: "......"

Hey, wait a second.

His judgment seemed to be wrong.

This guy might not be a master like him who was calm and confident; he seemed to have simply run out of options.

It wasn't that he wasn't in a hurry; his slow pace clearly showed he had reached his physiological limit. He was afraid that if his stride was a bit larger or his movements a bit more sudden, that tense sphincter defense line would instantly collapse.

It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but that he didn't dare to.

"Wind Riding" was quietly activated, preventing the stench from drifting onto him. Watching this task progress delivered to his door, Lin Li nodded: "I understand, classmate, of course I know, I'll take you there now."

After speaking, Lin Li stepped forward and reached out to support this poor person who was "shit-to-the-head."

"Yi~ ah~ don't touch me~" However, the boy almost screamed, his voice miserable.

After Lin Li's hand stopped, the boy arched his body like a bowstring, held his breath, his eyes filled with terror: "No need to support... really... I can walk by myself... just walk slowly..."

Lin Li raised an eyebrow, naturally not forcing it: "Fine, then follow me."

"Tha-nks—" The other party nodded slightly in gratitude and took a difficult step.

"About... how far?" Seeking a glimmer of hope, the boy gritted his teeth and asked.

"About 100 meters," Lin Li turned back and answered.

The boy's footsteps stiffened suddenly, his face turning even paler: "100... meters... that's a bit... too much, is there... any... shorter... option?"

Lin Li nodded: "Yes, is 0.1 kilometers acceptable?"

Boy: "＿"

Your mom.

What he wanted to ask was if there was a shortcut, like walking on the lawn, to shorten the distance, not for you to change the unit, damn it.

But at this moment, the boy had no qualifications to complain.

Because it was highly likely that something would come out before the complaint.

"It'll be fast, hold on." Lin Li encouraged.

The boy was no longer speaking, or rather, it wasn't suitable to speak.

Seeing this, Lin Li took out the "Duck Blood Bottle" to absorb the shit-intent from the boy.

Can't absorb it all.

Just after absorbing it, it quickly grew again on his body.

It seemed to be a physiological limit in the true sense, and it couldn't be significantly improved by psychological changes.

Originally there was still a lot of urine-intent inside, and it was filled up directly not long after.

When this ''assistance'' disappeared, after taking two more steps, the boy stopped in place, squatted down, trembling all over, sweat pouring down like rain.

Lin Li shook his head and sighed.

In that case, the only way is to break the limit!

Ding ding ding ding! Special attack treasure—"Shit-Holding Talisman"!

Materializing the talisman in his hand, Lin Li quickly came to the boy's side, lifted his hoodie hood, first pricked a little blood with a needle, and then slapped the talisman, nicknamed "Limit-Breaking Talisman" and truly named "Shit-Holding Talisman," on the back of his neck.

"I know a little massage technique, it should make you feel better. Is it effective?"

While sticking it on, Lin Li used words to cover up his actions.

"...... Yes, really!" The boy turned his head slightly in disbelief, capturing Lin Li beside him with his peripheral vision, nodding in response, his voice carrying the sobbing tone of someone who had survived a disaster.

As for the fact that his neck had just been pricked by a needle, as the saying goes, "The Son of Heaven guards the steel gate, the monarch dies for the country." The boy was only concerned with guarding his steel gate and didn't realize it at all.

"That's good, hold on, the restroom is right ahead." Lin Li smiled and signaled.

As for using a "Limit-Breaking Talisman," Lin Li really didn't think it was anything.

In the past, when he felt the "Limit-Breaking Talisman" was very precious, Lin Li could generously use it on Baowei. Not to mention now that Lin Li's horizons were much higher, he knew that this "Shit-Holding Talisman" was a low-end-of-the-low-end talisman in the cultivation world.

Anyway, there were still two left in the 【Warehouse】, so wasting one didn't matter.

Moreover, Lin Li quickly realized that he hadn't wasted it.

【Task 2 completed.】

【You have received the reward: Physical improvement: Comprehension increased by 10%; Random ability *1; System currency *100】

Just as he was taking the boy to get up and walk to the restroom, the system suddenly popped up this message.

He saw that the progress bar, which had clearly been a bit short just a moment ago, had reached the state of perfection at this moment.

Lin Li was slightly stunned.

Then he suddenly realized.

How could this way of expressing his goodwill not count as "extraordinary"? How could it not count as "enthusiastic"?

Could it be that the essence of this task was actually to let him use a cultivator's means or magic treasures to enthusiastically treat students from other schools, and all the paths he had taken just now were actually wrong?

Damn it, so the system isn't a bastard?

But it doesn't matter anymore, as long as the task is completed. After all, whether it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it doesn't hiss, it's a good cat.

Lin Li looked at the ability given by the system.

【You have obtained the passive ability "Cultivation Method Adaptation".】

【Cultivation Method Adaptation: Any cultivation method that has restrictions on the practitioner's physique or race, which you were originally unable to practice, can now be practiced without changing your own state after obtaining and fully reading the cultivation method.

The speed of cultivation gradually increases slowly over time as you practice the method, eventually reaching half the speed of the state that perfectly meets the method's requirements.】

It's actually a passive ability.

After reading it, Lin Li understood.

It's equivalent to saying that if he obtained the Sunflower Manual, he could practice this method without self-castration.

The cultivation speed would be very slow at first, and over time, it would reach half of the limit cultivation speed.

If it were in the cultivation world, this ability should be considered very powerful.
