CHAPTER 341: CHAPTER 250: THOSE WHO WANT TO SIGN UP, QUICKLY PRESS 1, ONLY 5 SLOTS AVAILABLE_2

"Okay, no problem." Ye Jing responded, hopping away.

Only Lin Li, Hu Fei, and the Beauty Lady were left upstairs.

After repacking the Beauty Lady into the burlap sack — she was still a crucial mission item — Lin Li noticed Hu Fei staring eagerly at Xiling’s meatball soup and pointed to it with a smile:

"Eat it all if you want."

"Brother Lin Li is my real brother!" Hu Fei laughed, approaching and started eating.

Lin Li turned to the system.

Equipping [Lightning Attractor] in the secondary title slot, the effect was indeed halved.

Having two title slots was quite useful, like having an extra optional buff slot. Wondering what happens if the [Change When the Pants Are On] effect is reduced by 50%.

He lifted his leg, kicked forward, the sound breaking through the air.

The "Physical Strength" improvement had never been obtained before; Lin Li clearly felt it.

Not only was he stronger, but even when he punched his legs hard, the pain was less than before.

It seemed the strength enhancement was quite hardcore, with defense included.

Now, if Lin Li were to kick the Beauty Lady in the head again, it definitely wouldn’t hurt as much as before.

Darn, if the strength keeps increasing, wouldn’t it be disastrous if ingrown nails prevent the doctor from cutting even the nails?

Before Lin Li could delve deeper into this blind spot, he heard a crunching sound behind him.

Lin Li turned back, then fell into a contemplative silence.

Hu Fei was biting into pieces of the porcelain bowl.

"You’re... eating even that?" Lin Li asked in astonishment.

"Doesn’t taste good." Hu Fei shook his head.

"Then why are you eating it?"

"Brother Lin Li told me to eat it all." Hu Fei chewed the porcelain bowl like chocolate, showing difficulty but with determined eyes.

Lin Li: "..."

Hu Fei was dumb, but he was obedient.

"I meant for you to finish the meatballs, not the bowl. Stay here and wait for Ye Jing, I’ll be off now, see you in a few hours." Lin Li smiled, then dragged away the Beauty Lady along with his other gear.

"I bid Brother and Sister-in-law farewell on their journey."

...

Just like last time, after making preparations to return, Lin Li waited for the system to automatically send him back to reality.

[0.01.57]

Looking at the recorded time on the backup device, Lin Li calculated and frowned.

The ratio was off.

He stayed for five and a half hours, and according to a 1:180 ratio, about 110 seconds should have passed in reality, 1 minute and 50 seconds would be normal.

Even if he made a mistake, the discrepancy shouldn’t be as large as a whole seven seconds.

Lin Li took out a calculator and calculated using 1 minute 57 seconds, discovering the time flow ratio became 1:169, roughly 1:170.

The ratio had decreased.

What does this mean? Does it imply that as the system updates, the time flow would increasingly approach reality, or does this occur with more visits, or is it inherently random?

The system remained silent, just groveling.

Given the circumstances, better take a shower first.

No point in overthinking it, perhaps yelling at the system would be relieving.

...

Morning.

After exercising, Lin Li carried breakfast and biked to school.

The somewhat old bicycle was pedaled furiously, consistently maintaining this speed.

Though appearing to exert effort, Lin Li remained relaxed, without fatigue.

The physical strength enhancement indeed covered every aspect.

Endurance, explosiveness, and jumping ability in his legs had notably increased.

Standing long jump could reach over 3 meters without any extra effort, and for vertical jumps from a standing position, the performance was impressive — though Lin Li couldn’t measure exact numbers by himself, he could now touch a half-meter higher.

Estimations showed it’s now possible to dunk easily.

Sigh, the time he could normally be human was already limited, soon he might not even qualify as human.

With his current jumping ability, coupled with his height, reach, and insight, when playing with those clumsy hand friends, wouldn’t his blocks just leave them speechless?

Lin Li decided that after the sports day ends, Bai Bufan would come to hate basketball forever.

Aims to target him.

Isn’t cultivating just to witness Bai Bufan’s tearful expressions like flowers?

School.

At the staircase entrance, today’s gossip, though late, was really late.

Lin Li entered from the front door and was startled by Wang Ze’s peculiar smile.

Thought it was some prank at first, but upon seeing half the boys in class wearing the same expression, he recalled it was Bufan’s laugh theory from last week’s workday start, so he followed suit with a smile.

Damn, within this class, just a casual sentence from last week could be recalled today; good job there, but glad there’s still a chance for reassignment.

There’s hope.

As for Bai Bufan, no wonder there was no gossip today, lying on the desk sleeping pathetically.

Probably stayed up late again last night.

After giving the girls their breakfasts they asked him to buy, Lin Li cleared his throat and shouted at Bai Bufan:

"Bufan!"

"Abandon, abandon!" Bai Bufan jumped with a start at the call, clutched his textbook, and began reciting words, "One bench, Abandon!"

The recitation style embarrassed Koukou.

Carefully scanning around, Bai Bufan realized it wasn’t the teacher arriving, but Lin Li calling him, and glared angrily at Lin Li, "What!? Why!?"

Lin Li smiled, took a breath, and began loudly chanting:

"I couldn’t do what you asked me last weekend. This weekend, the hotel has no waterbeds or themed rooms, and the room can only accommodate four creatures. Aren’t you making things difficult for the reception by ordering eight male companions for yourself? You’ll have to prepare the scented candles, whips, collars, and lubricants yourself, but the hotel has already printed Bao Wei’s photo on the toys for you, so you can use them directly then.

You didn’t respond to my message, so I can only tell you now."
