CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 32: SYSTEM, YOU’RE TOO BABY

Actually, Lin Li really wanted to check what the Spirit Stone looks like right now. The anti-pornography mission was completed, and the Spirit Stone is already in his [warehouse], ready to be taken out at any time.

But because he’s worried about causing a disturbance by taking it out in the classroom, to ensure safety, Lin Li plans to check it out after returning home.

Safety first.

For now, let’s just focus on finishing the homework as soon as possible. This way, there will be time in the evening to preview the content for the upcoming courses.

Though the efforts outside of class time don’t count towards the mission’s planning.

Still, whether it’s completing homework or previewing, both help deepen the understanding of the coursework. The level of torment when seriously listening to a class that’s completely incomprehensible compared to when you can understand it is entirely different.

This is also the first barrier for a suddenly reformed poor student who starts listening to lectures—if you can’t understand it, you can’t seriously engage even if you want to.

Listening to lectures seriously has now become a long-term task and isn’t something that can be finished in just two or three days. Lin Li is doing this with his future in mind, hoping to make things easier for himself later.

"Persuasive homework, I’m going to write you to death! Want to see daddy’s morning glory?"

"I’m going to stuff the idea of disassembly right into your little deconstruction text!"

"Am I better, or is Bai Bufan better? Is my writing better, or is his writing better? Do I spend a long time writing you? Are my words big? Is it longer than his, is it bigger than his? Hmm? Speak up!"

Lin Li sipped on his tropical flavored iced red tea while chanting this offbeat homework Bible, fully engaged in the battle with his homework.

"Lin Li? Are you reciting something?" A female voice suddenly sounded next to him.

"Daddy wrote you—Chen Yu Ying?" Immersed in his own world, Lin Li looked up and was startled to see Chen Yu Ying standing in the aisle beside Bai Bufan’s desk.

He quickly shut his mouth.

Studying failed me; he hadn’t even noticed when Chen Yu Ying came to the classroom or when she got to his side.

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.

Please, don’t hear what I just said.

Lin Li prayed in his heart.

Fortunately, Chen Yu Ying didn’t show any unusual expression, so she probably didn’t hear.

"Sorry, did I scare you?" She heard Lin Li’s voice raised a bit, and instinctively raised her hands and stepped back half a step.

"No, no, no, no—" Lin Li shook his head, then asked, "What’s up? Do you have a package to pick up? If it’s not urgent, I can bring it for you tomorrow. If it’s urgent, I can go out during dinner to get it."

Uncertain if it’s because he’s seen Xiaojing before, Lin Li used to be a bit nervous and restrained when facing Chen Yu Ying, the prettiest girl in the class, but now that feeling is gone.

Oh no, Xiaojing won’t become my white moonlight, will she? Such a thing is bad.

No, given Xiaojing’s occupation, she can’t be considered white moonlight. She’s more of a pitch-black seafood-flavored stinky moonlight.

"Oh, it’s nothing like that. I was just curious about why you were called to the principal’s office this morning." Chen Yu Ying pressed her palms on Bai Bufan’s desk, her body slightly leaning toward Lin Li, her long hair floating up, smelling quite nice.

Lin Li blinked.

This is a no-go.

Just as he was preparing to bluff with the reason he had previously prepared, the system suddenly popped up a message.

[You have been in this world for half a day now. In this all-female world, someone has finally noticed your existence and is curious about you, wanting to know more information about you.]

[Since this is the case, then prove your identity, tell her, you are a completely different male from her, a male who can that that with her!]

[Mission Triggered!]

[Mission Five: Tell Chen Yu Ying you are a different male from her, and inform her of the physiological differences between males and females.]

[Mission Reward: Physical Improvement: Mecha Synchronization Index +10; Random Talent *1; System Currency *50]

"..."

"Ah?"

No way, extremely and even 350234 points of no way.

Bush Gomen.

What the heck is this mission? Why did the system’s style suddenly change? Aren’t I ’in’ the Cultivation Realm? What is this all-female world? Didn’t the previous descriptions sound so literary, and why are they now in colloquialism?

What does ’a male who can that that’ mean? Which that is it? Can you be more specific?

Lin Li’s brain at this moment is like the upper half of Xiaojing: a blank.

The view finally focused on the first half of the sentence at the start of the mission [You have been in this world for half a day now].

Half a day ago, which is 12 hours earlier, he should have been asleep.

Wait a minute, Lin Li remembered seeing [System Update] when he woke up this morning... damn, could this abstract system update this morning be the cause?

Have I been ’crossed over’ again?

But seriously, I’m really intrigued by this world!

Failing to go to the Cultivation Realm, Lin Li brushed it off, but how could this world not allow him to venture there? System bro, I have hardly ever asked anyone for anything in my life, but I beg you, take me there now.

Where’s the dump truck? Where’s the dump truck, hurry and save me!

I need a stroke of luck urgently right now.

But wait, with the updated system, today’s Cultivation Realm tasks are still being released normally, missions two and four are still urging him to vanquish demons and eliminate demons, and this mission serial number is duly five.

Darn it.

What on earth is this?

"..."

Lin Li eventually realized one thing, trying to rationalize the system’s actions is inherently irrational.

The system going crazy isn’t just a one-day occurrence; understanding it simply isn’t realistic.

Why has the style of the mission rewards changed too? What in the world is this Mecha Synchronization Index?

Sounds really cool, could this mean he can pilot a Gundam—assuming the system actually provides him with a Gundam.

"Lin Li? Lin Li? What’s going on?" Chen Yu Ying, waiting for an answer, saw Lin Li suddenly zoning out, and a bit confused, waved her hand in front of him.

"Ah, nothing, class president, I’m just thinking about how to tell you." Lin Li snapped back to reality and spoke.

Theoretically speaking, a task is here; it’s meant to be completed. Although the Mecha Synchronization Index is something completely unknown in terms of meaning, stepping back, system currency... heck, even not knowing if it’s useful, stepping back again, random talent must be useful.

However, isn’t this mission content a bit too defiant?

Why does he have to enlighten Chen Yu Ying on physiological knowledge?

Moreover, Chen Yu Ying surely knows these things, right? She doesn’t actually live in an all-female world.

What she’s curious about now isn’t his gender at all!

The system’s thought process is purely the building between Building A and Building C.

But this isn’t a timed mission; would it just hang in the taskbar if uncompleted?

The taskbar interface looks 2*3 in format, two rows and three columns, currently holding five tasks.

Lin Li doesn’t know if more space will appear after filling up six.

Even if there’s no upper limit, having something incomplete just feels uncomfortable to look at.

Dense mind! Hurry and brainstorm a solution!

Suddenly there’s light in Lin Li’s eyes.

He’s really a genius.

If Lin Li were Pleasant Goat, a 240W giant light bulb would appear above his head now.

"Alright, class president, next, I’ll tell you why the principal called me this morning!" With the demeanor of a storyteller, Lin Li picked up a pen and heavily slapped the desk, very imposing.

"Mm-hmm!" With a curious face, Chen Yu Ying looked at Lin Li with some anticipation.

Lin Li took a deep inhale, then stood up, moving slightly away from Chen Yu Ying.

"First," facing Chen Yu Ying’s expectant yet puzzled gaze at his actions, Lin Li pointed to himself, then to her:

—"I’m male, you’re female."

Chen Yu Ying: "?"
