"Help me knock down one more. I'll bring one for Wanqiu too," Ding Sihan instructed Lin Li.

"I almost forgot about my little. OK, don't worry, I guarantee it will be the most astringent, most puckering, and least sweet," Lin Li immediately said it was no problem upon hearing this, and highly praised Ding Sihan for her ability to learn by analogy.

The child can be taught.

"Alright!"

Chen Yuying, upon hearing this, looked at Ding Sihan with an amused smile.

Playing with Lin Li is really dangerous. My good friend seems to be drifting further and further down the path of not being human.

After picking the wild persimmons, Lin Li's plastic bag, which he had brought for emergencies, came in handy.

After putting them in the plastic bag, he placed them in his backpack where they wouldn't be crushed.

"Lin Li, are you carrying too many things? Do you want me to help you with some?"

Noticing that Lin Li let out a sigh close to 'eh' when he stood up, Chen Yuying reached out and placed her hand on Lin Li's bag.

"Class President, I'm not the type to bite off more than I can chew. If I'm really tired, I'll just ride on Bai Bufan's back. Don't worry," Lin Li waved his hand.

They had been walking for two hours so far. After all, it was all uphill, so there was definitely some fatigue. But the walking speed was not fast, and the sessions of taking pictures and picking persimmons along the way were equivalent to resting, so Lin Li was not pushing himself at all.

"...A good person is bullied, a good horse is ridden." However, Bai Bufan nodded at Chen Yuying, "What Lin Li said is true. He will take the initiative to ride on me."

Chen Yuying: "..."

You two...

"Class President, besides, if I'm really tired, you shouldn't help me carry things, but you should help me wipe my sweat," Lin Li analyzed rationally again. "I think this is much more useful than you helping me carry things."

"What Lin Li said is indeed true. Yingbao, if you wipe his sweat, wouldn't Lin Li fly?" Ding Sihan tsked upon hearing this.

Chen Yuying couldn't calmly accept the teasing from multiple people yet. She pursed her lips slightly and glared at Ding Sihan who was adding fuel to the fire.

Why did my reward go to Ding Sihan?

Lin Li was indignant.

But Chen Yuying's blushing face was the real tempting persimmon, wasn't it?

It feels crispy, sweet, and sexy.

"You're not even sweating, what's there to wipe? Besides, your own hands are free, you can clearly wipe it yourself," after glaring at Ding Sihan, Chen Yuying said to Lin Li.

"Bufan, emergency! I'll be in charge of breaking my own arms, you'll be in charge of making me sweat!" Lin Li immediately gave a solemn order upon hearing this.

"Understood! Lord Lin Li, give me your phone. I'll show them your Douyin search and browser search history!" Bai Bufan immediately had a solution.

Lin Li: "..."

You motherf*cker.

He was indeed sweating a little now.

"Eh? I heard it's really something you can't show people. Let me see," Ding Sihan's voice went up an octave upon hearing this.

It was impossible for Chen Yuying not to be interested in such a thing. She might even be more interested than Ding Sihan. Her eyes were sparkling.

"I use incognito browsing," Lin Li then gave Bai Bufan an elbow jab, "Not that."

"Understood, Plan B initiated, heh—" Bai Bufan's head tilted back slightly, and a phlegmy sound came from his throat. His gaze seemed to be aimed at Lin Li's forehead.

"?"

"I f*cking want sweat, who the f*ck told you to spit!" Lin Li went up with a Leo Flying Kick.

Bai Bufan was kicked to the ground, and actually let out the classic northern Chinese 'iwc' sound of being hit.

Lin Li decided to ride on Bai Bufan's back in advance.

"Let's go, we're almost at the top," while the two were fooling around, Chen Yuying and Ding Sihan, who had already walked far ahead, turned back and shouted.

It seems that even if he became a one-armed Yang Guo, he still couldn't get Chen Yuying to wipe his sweat. Lin Li had no choice but to get up and wave in response, "Coming."

"Give me a hand," Bai Bufan, who was behind him, extended his hand.

Lin Li went back and kicked him again.

...

【Mission Two has been completed】

【You have obtained the rewards: Physique Improvement: Spiritual Energy Absorption Speed increased by 100%; Beast Affinity increased by 50%; System Currency*50.】

The mission was completed more easily than Lin Li had imagined.

He had originally thought the system would be nitpicky and require him to reach the absolute highest point of Yunding Mountain, but he was still walking up and it showed that the mission was already completed.

However, seeing the cable car ropes not far away, Lin Li roughly understood. The mission probably only required him to exceed the height that the cable car could reach.

The two physique improvements didn't bring much substantial feeling. Will small animals like me more now?

There were no animals nearby, and Lin Li was not in a hurry to verify it.

"The teacher said they still have about twenty minutes before they finish the tour. He told us to go to the base and wait for everyone. He has already spoken to the base owner, and they will let us in," Chen Yuying turned back and said.

It was just past eleven o'clock. They had climbed for less than three hours in total, and this was with the four of them not even focusing on climbing. So the main group had not yet finished their original plan.

"Alright, let's go over," without the master's mission, Lin Li was full of leisure.

And so, under Chen Yuying's lead, the four of them successfully entered the outdoor base.

There were actually many activities at the base, not just barbecue. There were kites, inflatable balls, frisbees... and even live-action CS. But only the barbecue was included in the autumn trip fee. Other activities required extra payment.

With less than twenty minutes, the four of them just looked at the activity introductions and had no interest in purchasing any services.

They arrived at the artificial turf of the base, which was still green and unbelievably soft in September. They chose a spot under a large tree with shade and sat down.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan didn't care about etiquette and sat directly on the ground. Lin Li was even more straightforward and lay down, using his hands as a pillow for his head. Chen Yuying, on the other hand, took out a picnic mat from her bag, spread it out, and then sat down.

Ding Sihan sat in a standard posture, her legs bent in front of her. She simply rested her chin on her knees and scrolled through her phone.

Chen Yuying, perhaps because she was wearing a dress, had her legs placed flat on the ground similar to a yoga pose, straight and slender, highlighting her excellent body proportions.

"There are still small bugs in the grass. You guys should come over and sit on this too," after sitting down, Chen Yuying moved a little to the left, patted the empty space on her right, and said to the two of them, especially Lin Li who was lying on the grass.

"Then I won't be polite," Bai Bufan was still planning to be modest, but Lin Li had already moved his head over without any politeness.

Now the two or one best pillows in the world were right beside Lin Li, less than ten centimeters away, covered by the blue hem of her dress. Lin Li could even smell the faint fragrance coming from the pillows, which reminded him of spring.

Unfortunately, he could only rest his head on the ground.

Pain, so much pain.

Directly above Lin Li's line of sight was the shade of the trees with traces of withered yellow hidden in the lush green of September, and some sunlight shining through the gaps. Under the weak Tyndall effect, it formed observable beams of light.

In his peripheral vision to the right, he could catch a glimpse of this piece of dog shit, Bai Bufan, who had followed him. But fortunately, to the left, he could catch a glimpse of Chen Yuying, who was sitting with her back straight even though there was no backrest. This kept the scene at a beautiful level, still worth remembering.

By the way, can the dog shit please go away?

Not only did the dog shit not go away, but Bai Bufan's upper body was even leaning towards Lin Li, making eye contact with him.

Alright, this scene where he could only see Chen Yuying in his peripheral vision couldn't be saved. Lin Li closed his eyes in disgust and then said leisurely:

"Bai Bufan, I should have used these twenty minutes to study. It's all your fault, now I can only be idle."

"Are you sick?"

"Are you sick?"

Ding Sihan and Bai Bufan each cursed Lin Li.

It seems he had angered the crowd. Lin Li sneered, not daring to be angry or speak, fuming with suppressed anger. But it didn't matter, he could secretly review in his mind.

Pop quiz: what does 'condom broke' and 'he f*cked his brother' mean?

tadpole, tadpole, heritage, inheritance.

Very good.

With him working so hard, there was no reason why he shouldn't get into the top hundred of his grade.

"Lin Li, hurry up. Twenty minutes, just enough for us to have a round of farming," feeling his waist being hammered a few times, Bai Bufan's voice came quickly.

Zhou Baowei's painful experience was still vivid in his mind. Lin Li didn't want to be reckless. He didn't even bother to open his eyes and said, "Actually, I'm a sheepdog, a spiritual American. We Americans would never play an unfair game like Honor of Kings."

"Ten attack power is going to kill you? Without the farming alliance, we wouldn't be here today. Without farming, the alliance would have no end. LoL raises farmers when they're young, farmers raise LoL when they're old. Stop discriminating against games," Bai Bufan taught seriously.

"No, what I mean is, starting with two fewer towers, how can you play?"

Bai Bufan: "..."

Damn mouth, can't laugh, otherwise the good karma he had accumulated from helping the old lady cross the road with Lin Li last night would be used up before it even warmed up.

"Then let's play a round of CF. You're better at playing with guns, right?"

It seems there was no way to refuse.

...

13 to 60, a close defeat in a back-and-forth chase. It was truly exhilarating and made one feel proud despite the loss.

A noisy sound came from the entrance of the base not far away. Wang Ze's dog-like barking could be heard from afar. It seems Xue Jian and the others had arrived.

"Class President, do you want to put away the picnic mat? If not, I'll just leave my things here?" Lin Li stood up and asked Chen Yuying beside him.

"Sure, you can just leave them there," Chen Yuying nodded.

The four of them returned to the class group, waiting for Xue Jian to negotiate with the person in charge of the base.

The person in charge should have prepared in advance. Soon, six barbecue grills were brought out by the staff one after another and placed on the concrete ground next to the lawn. Someone had already started adding small pieces of charcoal to them.

Great, it's charcoal grilling. Lin Li believed that the flavor of charcoal grilling far surpassed that of electric grilling and other methods.

"These six are our class's grills. Everyone can split up later. Don't have a few people hogging one, and don't have a bunch of people using only one," Xue Jian introduced from the side.

Although there were only six barbecue grills, each one was quite large, more than enough for seven or eight people to barbecue.

"The box next to the grill contains all the ingredients and seasonings. Those are limited," Xue Jian said, pointing to the unopened cardboard boxes next to each barbecue grill.

"Baowei, we're breaking up," Lin Li and Bai Bufan turned their heads.

Zhou Baowei: "..."

"But don't worry about not having enough to eat. If you walk in this direction, you'll find the base's service cold storage. All the vegetarian and some of the meat dishes inside are unlimited self-service. They also provide free plain water and soup. You can go in and get them if you need."

"Baowei, we'll make up in half an hour," Lin Li and Bai Bufan turned their heads.

Zhou Baowei: "..."

"But remember, absolutely no wasting. There will be people checking here. Once you take from the self-service section, if the waste exceeds a certain weight, the excess will be charged at a high price. I'm too lazy to keep an eye on who it is. If this happens, everyone will split the cost, so you all be careful," Xue Jian added again.

"Baowei, let's make up now. We can't do it without you," Lin Li and Bai Bufan turned their heads again.

"...Are you f*cking using me as a trash can?! It's better to throw it to me than to waste it, right?"

If you don't erupt in silence, you perish in silence. Third time's the charm. Zhou Baowei struck with a heavy punch.

"The students in the class who are good at cooking, don't hide your skills at this time. You can let everyone see your barbecue skills," after the introduction, Xue Jian said to everyone with a smile.

"Teacher, I think you are the best barbecue master in the world," Lin Li praised loudly. "The things you grill are never burnt."

Xue Jian was about to tell Lin Li to stop flattering him, but after seeing everyone laughing, he realized he had misunderstood. This kid wasn't flattering him at all!

"What part of the exam didn't the teacher teach? All the knowledge points were broken down and fed to you. Who knew you all didn't know how to be flexible? The same diagram, you don't recognize it if you change a letter. For example, the entrance exam at the beginning of this semester..."

When Xue Jian started to ramble on, and the people around him stopped laughing and looked at Lin Li with resentful and hateful eyes, Lin Li felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Oh no, he had become the sinner.

Will he be the first one on the grill later?

Lin Li coughed frantically, almost having an asthma attack, and finally brought Xue Jian back to his senses.

Xue Jian cleared his throat and waved his hand, "The charcoal isn't hot yet. Everyone go and separate the ingredients first. They might not all be thawed yet. You can check and organize them first."

Lin Li, along with Zhou Baowei and Bai Bufan, occupied a barbecue grill first. After opening the box, he immediately said, "Attention, candidates. This exam site contains a large amount of scallions and cilantro."

Although it was not easy to add cilantro to skewers, it was very easy to add it to tinfoil-wrapped barbecue.

Zhang Haoyang stopped in his tracks, adjusted his glasses, spat at Lin Li, and chose another grill.

Lin Li shook his head in disdain. One day, everyone in the world will be a cilantro lover. At that time, all those who don't eat cilantro will be sent to Siberia to grow cilantro.

He took out the ingredients from the box one by one. Some of them indeed still had unmelted ice on them. Since they were in plastic bags, he simply placed them on the ground to thaw.

"F*ck, this vinegar is already sour. Is it expired?" After opening a very small bottle of vinegar and smelling it, Lin Li exclaimed.

Bai Bufan cooperated very well, holding an empty space and also exclaiming, "F*ck, why does this durian stink? Has it gone bad?"

"It's not expired or gone bad. Actually, I just let out a sour and smelly fart," Zhou Baowei raised his hand and said.

Sometimes the price to pay for playing a joke is different.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan were still fine, but Zhou Baowei had already been beaten to death and thrown on the roadside.

The ingredients and seasonings were all separated, but the charcoal was still not completely hot. Everyone was waiting with nothing to do.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan exchanged a look and nodded.

There could be something to do.

The two of them left stealthily, not 'noticing' the wary crowd that followed them.

Lin Li took out a bag from his backpack, preparing to share it with Bai Bufan.

"Where did you get the persimmons! Let me see!" Discovering that Lin Li and Bai Bufan were actually planning to eat persimmons behind their backs, the crowd that followed them said angrily and was about to come up and snatch them.

"We bought them on the way up the mountain. This bag costs twenty yuan, not giving them to you!"

Lin Li held the bag high. Seeing the crowd come up to snatch it, he threw it directly to Bai Bufan.

"Don't f*cking snatch them, leave some for us! There are only a few left!" But Bai Bufan was too weak. The bag was intercepted by Wang Ze, so Bai Bufan cried out in pain.

"Thank you for your persimmons. They are ours now."

The super-masculine sports student Wang Ze stood with his hands on his hips and laughed, preparing to enjoy the fruits of his victory.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan finally couldn't help but laugh.

...

Also waiting for the charcoal to get completely hot, Chen Yuying and Ding Sihan were sharing the photos they had taken along the way with their roommates.

A noisy sound came from behind.

The two of them turned their heads and saw Lin Li and Bai Bufan, who had done something to anger the crowd, running wildly on the lawn.

And behind them was a group of angry boys led by Wang Ze, with others following behind. Wang Ze roared:

"Lin Li! Bai Bufan! You motherf*ckers, stand right there! Don't run if you have the guts!"

If Lin Li and Bai Bufan had taken the initiative to share, they would have been wary. But since they were treating them like treasures, how could Wang Ze and the others suspect a trick?

"Playing hard to get! You're using military tactics on us! You guys are really beasts!" The more Wang Ze thought about it, the angrier he got.

Oh, seeing the persimmon juice that hadn't been wiped clean from the corners of everyone's mouths, and their pained expressions, Chen Yuying and Ding Sihan understood.
