CHAPTER 190: CHAPTER 163: MUST I BECOME AN ENVOY? (REQUESTING MONTHLY TICKETS)

Saturday, the next day.

There was a third low-grade spirit stone in the [Warehouse].

[A month of continuity... At least half an hour accumulated (15/30)]

Unknowingly, task one was already halfway done.

These twenty low-grade spirit stones truly aren’t easy to get.

However, it did cultivate Lin Li’s habit of ’waking up early’; sometimes he even wakes up on his own before the alarm rings.

At such times, Lin Li generally doesn’t choose to sleep until the alarm goes off.

Based on Lin Li’s previous experience, if he goes back to sleep at such times, either time goes by really fast and the alarm rings shortly,

but that’s actually not too bad.

What he’s truly worried about is when time seems to pass very ’slowly’.

What does heart palpitations mean — when deciding to take a short nap but realizing it’s been too long to believe.

At this point suddenly sitting up, there’s a small chance of discovering that the alarm is about to ring in the next second, but a bigger chance of seeing that it’s already rung.

Grabbing a jacket from home, with a backpack full of knowledge, freshly showered Lin Li rode his bike to Nansang Library.

The weather hadn’t improved today; the reason Lin Li brought a jacket was due to the library’s centralized cooling, making some areas extraordinarily cold, so cold it makes one’s hands and feet feel icy on a hot day. So better be prepared.

Arriving early, even though it’s the weekend, the library was full of empty seats.

It certainly was a bit chilly; he predicted it correctly, so Lin Li reminded in the group:

「Lin Li: The library is a bit cold, best to bring a light jacket.」

As for not reminding them and then sharing his clothes, warm as it may be, stylish as it might seem, but what about himself being cold, absolutely not.

He came here to study, not just to read, so after scanning the electronic map on the first-floor machine, Lin Li booked a study room.

Eight seats, sitting five people is not too much of a waste.

Then he went to the study room, got himself a cup of hot water, and started studying three sciences plus math, sorting out unsolvable or incomprehensible problems to the side.

...

Chen Yu Ying was the first to arrive besides Lin Li.

She was dressed very simply today, just a regular shoulder T-shirt paired with a denim skirt, maybe heeding Lin Li’s advice, she had a white semi-transparent long-sleeve jacket over it.

There was no makeup today, but it didn’t detract from her attractiveness.

"I knew you’d be early, but I didn’t expect you to be this early." Chen Yu Ying tip-toed forward, relieved once she saw no one else in the room, and said as she walked over.

"Class monitor, why didn’t you let me know when you left?" Lin Li answered off-topic, looking annoyed.

"What, were you going to come down and meet me?" Chen Yu Ying asked with a smile.

"You’ll understand in a bit, and by the way, class monitor, your outfit looks great." Once Chen Yu Ying settled in front of Lin Li, he frankly admired her outfit for a while and said.

"Thank you, what you’re wearing is..." Chen Yu Ying suddenly closed her mouth.

Because Lin Li was wearing his school uniform today.

"Go on, why did you stop? How do I look?" Lin Li pressed, eager for more.

"You look very self-reliant!" Chen Yu Ying thought for a few seconds, then pointed a finger at Lin Li, as if she had found the correct answer, delighted.

Lin Li gave a thumbs up: "Good compliment."

Because self-reliance is Nansang Middle School’s motto.

"Of course." Chen Yu Ying’s crescent-shaped eyes had a hint of pride.

"Class monitor, this exercise book, the questions I can’t do are marked, could you take a look for me?"

Leaving more admiration for later, Lin Li didn’t forget his main subject, passing the exercise book over.

"Alright, the ones with red circles are the ones you can’t do, right? I’ll take a look at the questions first." Resting her chin on her thermos bottle, setting the exercise book in front of her, she swayed her head side-to-side, looking very cute.

"Uh... no, the ones with red circles are the ones I can do." Lin Li weakly added.

Chen Yu Ying: "..."

She stopped her head swaying, blinked, and looked up: "Lin Li, you’re an idiot."

Cute though she may be, her words could really hit hard.

"No, class monitor, this is a collection of difficult problems I bought, the basics I’ve known long ago, every question here is the last multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank question of an exam!" Lin Li thought he still needed to explain a bit.

Lin Li had been working so hard these two weeks, regular exercises couldn’t possibly result in him only knowing a few questions.

Chen Yu Ying thus watched for a bit longer.

Seeing that she hadn’t spoken for several minutes, Lin Li then got a bit smug: "See, class monitor, it’s tough, right?"

Chen Yu Ying looked back at Lin Li, smiled gently: "A, C, B, D, D, one-half, 64, increasing, a3..."

Lin Li: "..."

Glancing sidelong at the answers that didn’t have explanations.

All correct.

Grass.

Tough my ass.

Comparison truly is infuriating.

"I’m done, I’m going to self... harm." Lin Li lay on the table, nearly resigning to self-defense in front of a girl.

When will the system turn him into a natural genius?

...

The breathing light on his phone turned on, Lin Li picked up the phone; it was Bai Bufan telling him he set off.

「Lin Li: It’s f*cking almost ten now, didn’t you say you’d come as early as me yesterday?」

「Bai Bufan: The phone time in those five minutes before sleep is the most joyful and best four hours of my day.」

Got it.

This unrestrained waste.

Lin Li put down his phone, continued studying, when after Chen Yu Ying explained another question to him, Lin Li gestured to not go on to the next one yet.

He picked up his phone again.

「Lin Li: Bufan, are you on the street now?」

「Bai Bufan: Yeah, almost there, really almost there now.」

「Lin Li: This time I surely believe you, turn around and look.」

「Bai Bufan: ?」

A dozen seconds passed, Lin Li immediately sent another message.

「Lin Li: You idiot, the other side, why are you looking there?」

Half a minute later.

「Bai Bufan: ? I looked around, didn’t see you?」

「Bai Bufan: Where exactly are you?」

「Lin Li: Nansang Library, sixth floor, study room 12.」

"Bai Bufan: ?"

"Lin Li: Bufan, even though I didn’t see it, I can just imagine you on the street, looking around like an idiot, it’s hilarious hahahaha."

"Bai Bufan: Voice message 60s"

Seeing Lin Li laugh so happily, Chen Yu Ying curiously got up, covering her chest, and leaned over, trying to see Lin Li’s phone.

Originally, the faint elegant fragrance suddenly became rich, as if one could feel the breeze brought by fluttering eyelashes.

Lin Li directly handed the phone to Chen Yu Ying.

After watching it, Chen Yu Ying also chuckled softly.

"You idiot, dammit Lin Li, you son of a bitch, you should’ve strangled yourself with the umbilical cord in the womb..." The voice message, with its excessive mention of mothers, started playing after Chen Yu Ying tapped Lin Li’s phone.

Insulting without mentioning ’mom’ is like chit-chat, without ’mother’ it’s as harmless as scraping.

Bai Bufan never chit-chats, nor scrapes.

Chen Yu Ying immediately covered her ears in embarrassment, blinking and looking at Lin Li.

"You opened it yourself, it has nothing to do with me." Lin Li shrugged and paused the voice message.

Chen Yu Ying quickly reacted, her clear eyes widening: "So Lin Li, you’re regretting not telling me earlier because you wanted to trick me like this too?"

"What else? Did you think I was going to pick you up at the library downstairs, class president?" Lin Li blinked.

"You’re so bad!"

"Still got Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu left to torment, exciting."

...

"Ding Sihan: Lin Li!! I knew something was up when you suddenly messaged me privately instead of in the group!!"

"Ding Sihan: I’m remembering this trick of yours! Just you wait, you jerk!"

"Lin Li: Don’t curse me in the group, I still need to trick Qu Wanqiu."

"Ding Sihan: Huh? Sure. Eh? Why don’t I do the tricking instead?"

"Lin Li: That’s fine too."

...

"Ding Sihan!!" The last one to arrive, Qu Wanqiu, charged into the study room, making sure there were no outsiders before grabbing Ding Sihan by the neck and shaking her.

"I can’t speak now, let me go—" Ding Sihan laughed and struggled.

"Hey, class president, you say that pinching someone’s philtrum can wake them up, pinching the neck can adjust the volume, so if both are pinched at the same time, can a person take a screenshot?" Lin Li watched the scene, then turned his head to the opposite Chen Yu Ying and seriously asked.

Chen Yu Ying: "..."

"Sometimes I really want to open your head and see what’s inside." Chen Yu Ying sighed, "How could you come up with this stuff."

"My head’s filled with this kind of stuff." Lin Li pointed to the slogan on the study room wall after hearing.

"Reading makes you happy."

"Reading?" Chen Yu Ying blinked.

Although she thought she might already know the answer, she was reluctant to believe it.

"No."

"Happy?"

"No."

"Then it must be ’makes.’" Chen Yu Ying tried hard to avoid the correct answer.

"No."

"...Must be ’make,’ right." Chen Yu Ying sighed with a smile, not knowing whether to acknowledge Lin Li’s self-awareness.

"Not entirely." Surprisingly, Lin Li still shook his head.

"Huh?" Now Chen Yu Ying was a bit puzzled.

"Class president, pay attention to the font color, ’make’ also has types." Bai Bufan, standing beside, had been itching to answer, and couldn’t resist the urge to remind.

Looking at the yellow font, Chen Yu Ying: "..."

Lin Li nodded, his tone profound: "Good reminder, different colors represent different meanings, red is destruction, blue is indifference, green is disguise, purple is mystery, orange is anger, black is homecoming, yellow is ’send me.’

Chen Yu Ying held her textbook over her face, indicating she didn’t want to converse with Lin Li.

Lin Li then resorted to teasing someone else, glancing at Bai Bufan’s dark circles from staying up late playing on the phone last night, and whispered in a voice only audible between them: "Bufan, where does Xingtian get dark circles if he stays up late? Is this stuff considered heavy taste?"

Bai Bufan: "..."

As expected, this guy whispered bad things.

Lin Li’s mind is undoubtedly filled with yellow moronic stuff, an undeniable fact.

How he comes up with this crap-inducing question, Bai Bufan really couldn’t understand.

However, an eye for an eye, Bai Bufan also asked: "Lin Li, then let me ask you, is Newton’s glue a Newtonian fluid or a non-Newtonian fluid?"

The two youths simultaneously fell into deep thought.

Truly a stimulating thinking feast.

...

"What’s for lunch?" After successfully figuring out a certain type of question, Lin Li stretched lazily, slinging an arm over Bai Bufan’s shoulder and asking the three girls opposite.

Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu had arrived relatively late, and not long after everyone was gathered, it was about time for lunch.

"Uh-huh, I’ve got an idea, let’s eat at this place, I’ve been wanting to go for a while!" Ding Sihan reacted quickly with more excitement than during study.

Lin Li slightly furrowed his brow.

Damn, is this the kind of person I lost to in exams before?

Lin Li, you’re such a loser!

"You two want to eat?" The girls discussed and then asked Lin Li and Bai Bufan.

It’s a meat crab pot place, Lin Li nodded after looking at it: "I’m fine with it."

"I’m also fine." Bai Bufan agreed.

"Then let’s head downstairs to the place now." Ding Sihan stood up excitedly, then furrowed her brow again: "But that place is four kilometers away from us, shall we take a taxi? With five people, do we take two taxis?"

"No need," Lin Li waved his hand, pointing at Bai Bufan: "Bufan rode a bike here, the four of us can take taxis, he can cycle there."

Bai Bufan looked at the bicycle key Lin Li forced into his hand, and then looked up at Lin Li.

Lin Li smiled.

He smiled back.

Damn.

You’re a beast.

Remember, the beast’s language is ’act fast.’

...

It’s double time, asking for monthly votes.
