"Let go! Lin Li, let go! I can't take it anymore!" Seeing that the thunder path grandmaster wouldn't believe him, Bai Bufan could only frantically try to break free. However, Lin Li was gripping him too tightly; all his struggles were in vain.

I really have to quit my vices when I get back, otherwise, I really can't deal with Lin Li.

"Father of my child, I need you!" How could Lin Li possibly let go?

With a stable channel to output the accumulated lightning in his body, Lin Li himself had a greater tolerance for the electricity.

Moreover, Bai Bufan's screams were like heavenly music to him. Hearing his brother in such a miserable state, Lin Li felt that most of the pain had f*cking flown away.

A miraculous cure, Doctor Bai.

"Get lost! I don't need you! Divorce! Let's get a divorce right now! It hurts so much!" Bai Bufan's whole body was twitching. He started frantically pounding Lin Li's left hand, which was holding him, with his free left hand.

Then his left hand was grabbed by Lin Li's right hand.

Bai Bufan: "?"

SUPER! COMBO!

Bai Bufan: "!!!"

"Ah!!!"

"No divorce, I don't accept a divorce!" Lin Li rejected Bai Bufan's request for a divorce.

"Ah!!! Who cares if you accept it or not! Quick, give me a divorce!"

"The law stipulates, for a non-litigious divorce, besides separation for over two years or a major fault, you can't divorce unilaterally! So you must make me accept it!" Lin Li's grip tightened.

"I'm begging you, bro, let's get a divorce. You can have all the assets, you can have Baowei too, I'll leave with nothing, I'll even pay you alimony! Divorce!!" Bai Bufan was still struggling, but after confirming that even while Lin Li was being electrocuted, his brute force was no match for Lin Li's, his voice was now filled with pleading.

"I don't want anything, I only want you!" Lin Li demonstrated what it meant to be deeply in love.

"But there's a kind of love called letting go, you motherf*cker!" But Bai Bufan was just too much of a scumbag.

"That's not my ninja way!"

"F*ck, I'm breaking down, I'm really breaking down—Lin Li, you're going to electrocute the shit and piss out of me!!"

"It's okay, you forgot what kind of store this is. The people here have rich experience in handling shit and piss!"

"F*ck!!"

This beast Lin Li had played an unassailable card. Bai Bufan's defenses were broken.

An irreparable crack had clearly appeared in their relationship.

When parents fight, the one who gets hurt the most is always the child.

At this moment, the pitiful child Zhou Baowei, having witnessed his parents' relationship break down to this point, was so scared that he started twitching on the ground, letting out a sound like crying that resembled wild laughter.

Having laughed until he was a little weak, Zhou Baowei finally climbed up from the ground and feebly tried to persuade them, "Stop fighting, stop fighting, you can't kill someone by arguing like this."

"Right! Baowei, there's still Baowei! Lin Li, grab the child, the child can give you more strength. Baowei, get your ass over here and grab your mom's hand!" Bai Bufan, noticing Zhou Baowei, immediately shouted as if he had seen a savior.

"I won't," Zhou Baowei took a wary step back upon hearing this.

Although he knew Bai Bufan was currently putting on an exaggerated performance and wasn't actually being electrocuted, getting close and getting grabbed by Lin Li would still hurt. There was no need for that.

If Bai Bufan knew what Zhou Baowei was thinking right now, he would definitely shout, "Exaggerated my ass, you motherf*cker!!"

And so, Zhou Baowei just watched as Bai Bufan's life force slowly weakened.

He was about to die anyway. In the end, he felt a little bit of pity and persuaded, "Bufan, if it's really not working, let's just confess."

"Then f*cking ask! I'll confess! I'll confess everything!" Bai Bufan, bound to Lin Li's side and having given up the struggle, said weakly.

His body still twitched from the electricity from time to time, and he would occasionally let out a few miserable screams.

"Bu-Bufan, don't confess, hold on, maybe, in a little while, there will be a honey trap—" Lin Li's face was pale as he encouraged from the side.

"Then I won't confess for now." What Lin Li said made sense. Bai Bufan gritted his teeth again.

Time passed bit by bit.

The thunder path grandmaster's eyes grew more and more surprised.

You see, the most important customers for a mother and baby store are mothers. If they let fathers endure the pain of childbirth, they might think it's nothing special, which could easily displease the most important mother group, who might feel it wasn't accurate at all.

Furthermore, completing the full experience of this activity also came with large-value coupons and gifts, so in reality, they never intended for anyone to pass.

Therefore, the current output by the machine, although within a safe range, was more painful than actual childbirth and was maintained at this high intensity. Even Wu Jing would have to curse a few times if he were here.

But this kid in front of him, although he screamed fiercely at the beginning and was visibly still suffering in pain now, seemed to have really held on?

The younger generation is to be feared. This is a true legendary king of electricity resistance.

At this moment, Lin Li's eyes were tightly closed. Although Bai Bufan had given up trying to escape, Lin Li's hands holding his hadn't loosened their grip at all.

The Pure Righteous Thunder Control Art was constantly circulating, absorbing the electric current and then transmitting it to Bai Bufan's body through his hands.

However, the power he was outputting was far less than what he was absorbing, otherwise, Bai Bufan would have run away even if he had to sever his own arms.

The main stinging pain was still spreading throughout his own body.

Cultivation, this is cultivation! Lin Li constantly comforted himself with this thought in his mind.

Damn it, when ordinary people encounter this kind of life-and-death cultivation, shouldn't they be like a phoenix nirvana and obtain a great opportunity, such as the Pure Righteous Thunder Body reaching the great perfection stage in one step? Why is it that when it comes to me, it's just pure electrocution, and the thunder body hasn't improved at all after being electrocuted for so long?

It should be because there's no spiritual energy circulating. If I had known, I would have kept two spirit stones in my crotch at all times.

How could spiritual energy be such an inconvenient thing?

"Baowei! How much longer until the honey trap—" Bai Bufan, lying on the ground, felt like two centuries had passed. He opened his eyes and asked while twitching.

"There are three minutes left, hold on! Father, Mother, I am proud of you!" Zhou Baowei replied after looking at the time on the machine.

"It's not difficult, I, I suddenly feel energized, hehe, it's just, this much."

"It's a final burst of energy before death, it's a final burst of energy before death! It seems you're about to die!" Zhou Baowei said happily.

"That's great, I'm finally going to die."

Bai Bufan was equally happy. He had seen his great-grandmother waving at him a long time ago. Now he could finally embrace her.

...

The extremely painful electric current finally slowly subsided.

So, being ordinary was actually such a happy thing.

"Congratulations! Young man, you are the first customer to have fully experienced the pain of childbirth since our store's activity began! Congratulations!" The thunder path grandmaster, who had turned off the instrument, said with great gratification.

Warm applause erupted from the surroundings.

"Bufan, we are the champions," Lin Li finally released his hands from Bai Bufan's. Lying limply on the recliner, he weakly opened his eyes and sighed softly.

The hand beside him dropped limply after he let go, and Bai Bufan didn't respond either.

He was probably dead.

But it wasn't important.

After a moment of sincere prayer in his heart, Lin Li finally opened the system.

【Mission Two has been completed.】

【You have obtained the rewards: Physique Improvement: Pure Righteous Thunder Body effect increased by 100%; System Currency*50.】

Only then did Lin Li let out a long sigh of relief.

Although he hadn't begged for mercy or cried out in pain the whole time, Lin Li was still worried that the system would think he wasn't brave enough.

If he had to be electrocuted again, this wasn't like a ride at an amusement park. He really couldn't take it.

"F*ck, why are there so many people? Why are you all here?" Completely relaxed and covered in a cold sweat, Lin Li sat up and looked around, startled.

A dense crowd of people had gathered here.

The employees of this store, Wang Ze and other male classmates, and some strangers.

No wonder there was so much applause, and Zhou Baowei had stopped his crazy act for several minutes.

"We were at the entrance of the arcade on the opposite floor, and we heard Bufan's screams and Baowei's wild laughter from afar, so we came over," Wang Ze explained while giving a thumbs-up. "Awesome, Lin Li, you can withstand level ten pain for ten minutes."

"It was alright, I didn't feel much. I feel like I could give birth ten more times," Lin Li shrugged.

"Indeed, it was like playing house, anyone with hands could do it," Bai Bufan, still lying on the ground, also nodded.

"Hello sir, these four are your coupons, and here is a pack of baby wipes..." The store clerk also brought over the rewards for completing the full experience at this time, and then asked, "Do you need me to bag them for you?"

"No need, I'm already packing."

Lin Li sneered, stood up, and then stumbled from weak legs.

Fortunately, his limb control was strong. After a few stumbling steps, he stood up completely and said to the clerk with a smile, "You guys are too conscientious. Such a simple activity, you're just giving away benefits."

Clerk: "..."

I can't retort. This guy is definitely showing off.

But maybe you should wipe the cold sweat off your forehead first.

After Lin Li received the prizes, he was in a bit of a dilemma. These mother and baby supplies and coupons were useless to him.

Although some baby lotions and powders could be used by adults without any problem, it seemed unnecessary for Lin Li to buy them just for the sake of the coupons.

"Baowei, do you like it?" Lin Li shook the rattle in his hand at the 1.8-meter-tall Zhou Baowei and even offered him a pacifier. "These are all toys that Mom won for you. Take them if you like."

Zhou Baowei: "..."

"Get lost."

An idea struck Lin Li. He asked the clerk, "Are these coupons tied to me only?"

"I don't think so, but you can only use one coupon per day," the clerk said after hesitating for a moment.

"Okay, thank you. Everyone! Look here! Selling discounted coupons at a low price, with these small gifts included. Does anyone need them?" After thanking the clerk, Lin Li simply started hawking to the onlookers in the store and passersby.

The clerk didn't stop him.

Theoretically, the right to use the coupons belonged to the store, and this kind of transfer could be debated and stopped, but he wasn't the store manager, just earning a fixed salary.

—If you wear the clerk's uniform, don't worry about the store manager's business.

When Boss wore the number 8 jersey, he only slept eight hours a day. When he wore the number 24 jersey, he slept twenty-four hours a day. This was the experience of the older generation of artists and also verified this theory.

Don't do anything unnecessary. Causing unpleasantness with customers over these things would not only affect his own mood but might not even be appreciated by the store in the end. It wasn't worth it.

There was a market for this kind of coupon, especially for customers who were already planning to shop at this store. In the end, Lin Li sold the whole bag of things plus the coupons for 150 yuan. It was a win-win. Lin Li directly accepted the other party's offer since it was all free anyway.

Everyone was happy. Half a Spring Wind Elf (a Lu Zhishen-molded toy) was in his hands.

"You can even earn this much? I want to try it too. I'm a sports student, isn't giving birth to a child a piece of cake? Just take a picture of this and forward this tweet, right?"

Seeing that Lin Li could even make money like this, Wang Ze and his group immediately became interested and started taking pictures and forwarding them.

...

Commercial district parking lot.

On the bus, the well-traveled Xue Jian had no interest in shopping in the commercial district and had been staying on the bus the whole time.

"How to make students with improper thoughts turn over a new leaf, there are three major methods—"

Xue Jian listened attentively to the experience sharing of other key teachers.

But after listening for a while, his brow didn't relax. He felt it was useless.

Lin Li's improper thoughts were not ordinary.

After thinking for a moment, Xue Jian switched to another video:

"How to maintain a good mentality when facing students with improper thoughts, there are three major methods—"

This was more like it.

This was what he should be learning.

Xue Jian's brow relaxed, and he nodded.

After watching the video, he had benefited greatly. Xue Jian decided to scroll through his social media feed.

「Zhang Haoyang: Need eighteen likes, quick. [Link: Pingjiang Baoshu Mother & Baby Store is having an event! Spend...」」

Xue Jian gave it a like. It was probably for buying things for a child at home and needed to be forwarded.

「Qin Zeyu: Eighteen likes. [Link: Pingjiang Baoshu Mother & Baby...」」

You have a child too?

Xue Jian gave another like.

「Zhou Baowei: Eighteen likes. [Link: Pingjiang Baoshu...」」

「Ding Sihan: Eighteen likes, thanks. [Link: Pingjiang Baoshu...」」

「Wang Yuezhi: Everyone, please help me get a like ↓↓↓.」

「Chen Yuying: Give it a like, thank you everyone. [Link: Pingjiang Baoshu...」」

「Zhuo Yongfei: Seeking eighteen likes. [Link: Pingjiang Baoshu...」」

「...」

A uniform stream of posts, a uniform stream of seeking likes. Except for Wang Yuezhi, who didn't even have a link, it was unclear what he was doing.

But it didn't stop Xue Jian's face from being full of question marks: "???"

No good!

It's impossible for everyone's family to have a child!

Something's not right again!

"Driver, open the door! Let me off! Quick!" Xue Jian shouted at the driver who was sleeping with his hat pulled over his face.
