The System is Abstract, Luckily, So Am I

Chapter 147 : Lin Li Has Disappointed This World

The review process for crowdsourcing part-time jobs was quite fast, and the results came out in the afternoon.

And during the novice period, there was no need to pay a deposit or anything. No wonder crowdsourcing was the absolute master on the internet. After all, the worst that could happen was getting your account banned.

Your rider is attacking your takeout.

Although Lin Li's family didn't have an electric scooter, there was a rental place in the residential area. It was five hundred a month, including battery replacement. But for someone like Lin Li who planned to rent by the day, the price was thirty yuan a day.

There must be real food delivery riders who choose to rent electric scooters to deliver food. There were even models with insulated boxes and Meituan helmets, all in a set.

This saved Lin Li a lot of trouble.

As for the surprise audit Shen Kai mentioned, Lin Li also found a solution on the internet. He just needed to ensure that when he settled an order, there were still other orders. This way, the system would not pop up this kind of check that might affect the delivery.

The check gave five minutes of preparation time. As long as he clicked "delivered" when he was downstairs at home after completing the last order, and then gave it to his mom to verify within this time, it would be fine.

It didn't matter if there was an accident. The worst that could happen was that his account would be banned. If the appeal failed, he would look for Shen Kai again. If he couldn't find him, he would wait until he was an adult. There would always be a way.

"I'm riding my beloved sewing machine~~ It will never break the thread~~" Singing a little ditty by a little prisoner, Lin Li spent the whole afternoon delivering food in this way.

By the time the sun had completely set in the west and the city's streetlights had all lit up, the progress bar was already at eleven.

It wasn't that Lin Li had only delivered 6 orders in an afternoon. It was to control the number of orders. Sometimes, even though he had delivered, he couldn't click "delivered". This would cause the platform to default to a timeout and give a bad review.

And these orders were not recognized by the system. Plus, Lin Li was a novice and was not familiar with the addresses, which led to many orders being wasted.

So the completion rate was even lower than in the morning, but it couldn't be helped. It was inevitable.

He had also accumulated some good karma by giving away money through the "Punctual Treasure".

However, even at the current efficiency, this task could definitely be completed within this holiday, which had already met his expectations.

Lin Li's luck was also okay. The food delivery system was quite perfect now, and he hadn't encountered any "Aminos" properties.

"After delivering these two orders, I'll call it a day," after arriving at the address of this order, seeing that his mom was already urging him to go home for dinner on his phone, Lin Li decided.

After registering with the security guard, Lin Li walked into the residential area while dialing a number.

"Lin Li? Why are you calling me? Are you f*cking trying to provoke me too?" But as soon as Lin Li's call went through, he was met with a barrage of curses.

Hmm?

This voice, is it Baowei?

Lin Li looked at his order again. The customer's information did indeed have the surname Zhou.

Lin Li didn't know it was Zhou Baowei when he dialed the number because the number he could see was encrypted, and his phone didn't show any notes.

"No, I just missed you," after a greeting, Lin Li decisively hung up the phone.

His stomach did feel a little hungry.

Thank you, Baowei.

...

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a knock on the door. It seemed his takeout had arrived. Zhou Baowei, who had studied until midnight last night and had continued to force himself to study after waking up and eating lunch, immediately walked to the door excitedly.

Food was his only salvation in this f*cked-up, competitive world of studying.

Zhou Baowei opened the door.

"Hello (chew chew chew), sir, your (chew chew chew) takeout (chew chew chew)."

The delivery man, his mouth full of crumbs, extended his hand, and a light takeout bag floated to Zhou Baowei's feet.

His salvation seemed to have taken the shape of someone else's large intestine.

This kind of thing is a tonic.

"Boom—"

The door was slammed shut.

Zhou Baowei took a deep breath. Damn it, you really can't get addicted to this studying thing. Once you do, your life is really over. He had actually just seen Lin Li, the culprit.

He had become his delivery man and was also attacking his takeout.

There must be something wrong with the way I opened it.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Baowei opened the door again.

"You motherf*cker! Lin Li! Why is it really you!" After confirming again, Zhou Baowei roared.

"You're cursing so arrogantly, your family must not be home, right? No wonder you ordered takeout. Then I'll come in and sit for a while."

Lin Li continued to chew and chew. After keenly noticing this, he unceremoniously took off his shoes and entered, sitting down on the sofa in the living room. Then he said with a look of disgust:

"Baowei, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but is this chicken steak a problem with the restaurant or the taste? It's too salty. And you didn't even get a drink to go with it? To be honest, I'm a little thirsty now. Do you have any drinks at home? Remember, it's a drink, not plain water. Hurry up and bring it to me, preferably iced."

Looking at Lin Li, who was eating the chicken steak in his mouth and fumbling for snacks on the coffee table in the living room to stuff into his own pocket, Zhou Baowei fell silent again.

Is this your home?

I'm asking you, is this your home?

"How about when you leave, I'll stuff another two hundred yuan into your pocket?" Zhou Baowei said through gritted teeth.

"That's so embarrassing, but it's hard to refuse such a kind offer. Thank you," Lin Li showed a shy smile, then used his fingers to open his pants pocket, "Stuff it in now. I'm afraid you'll forget after I leave."

Zhou Baowei: "..."

Not a clone, the real Lin Li. You're a f*cking Zhen Ji pulling out a sword.

If only Fan Zeng had been replaced by Lin Li as Xiang Yu's advisor. After all, with Lin Li, Chu would have won.

But Zhou Baowei went to the refrigerator and took out a can of iced coconut milk and threw it to Lin Li.

"I'm not drinking it for free. I'll give you half of the chicken steak," Lin Li, who was already stuffing snacks from the coffee table into his mouth, had no time to deal with the chicken steak. He handed it to Zhou Baowei and said indistinctly.

"This was f*cking mine to begin with!" After shouting, Zhou Baowei sat down next to him, sighed helplessly, and took out his phone, "I have to order another one."

"Wait a minute!" Lin Li, who was drinking coconut milk, immediately spoke, then quickly brought up the order-grabbing interface, and then nodded at Zhou Baowei, "You can place the order now."

Zhou Baowei: "..."

He put his phone away again.

If Lin Li snatched this order, Zhou Baowei swore on his excess fat that Lin Li would definitely deliver it to him intact at the first moment.

He didn't even dare to order takeout anymore. Zhou Baowei questioned, "So why are you, Lin Li, delivering food?"

"Experiencing life. It's fun to deliver," Lin Li explained. "By the way, I've already marked the chicken steak order as delivered. Give me a five-star review right away, quick."

"You f*cking attacked my takeout and you still want me to give you a good review?" Zhou Baowei sneered. He suddenly realized that he had a chance for revenge.

While sneering, he also hid his phone behind his back.

His prediction was very correct, because Lin Li's next move was to snatch it.

"Baowei, I'm doing this to help you lose weight. This chicken steak is high in oil and calories. It's not good for your body. You really should lose weight. Baowei, do you know? I only know five fat people in total, and you alone account for four of them. In a few months, it will be the New Year. I don't want to lose you during the Spring Festival, so you must lose weight."

Discovering that he couldn't snatch it, Lin Li advised him earnestly.

Zhou Baowei: "..."

Damn.

You know five fat people, and I account for four of them?

Lin Li's attacking language this time was a bit too outrageous. Zhou Baowei himself, listening to it, almost couldn't help but laugh.

Is this a language that a human can come up with?

"You're sitting on my sofa, eating my snacks and takeout, drinking my drink, and you're still cursing me. Do you think I'll give you a good review? Hehe, kneel down and sing 'Conquer'," Zhou Baowei stood up and sneered.

"Just like this, I'm conquered by you~"

Lin Li's bottom line was very flexible. He knelt down on one knee without hesitation.

Zhou Baowei was about to continue sneering, but he suddenly discovered a blind spot. His eyes gradually lit up, "Lin Li, you didn't study today?"

"No, I've been delivering food all day. Why are you suddenly concerned about my studies?" Lin Li shook his head.

But he was going to study for an hour later, because the three cooldowns of [Enhanced Memory] were about to be full again.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, hahaha—" Zhou Baowei laughed with relief.

At this moment, he even felt a little like crying.

Because before this moment, he even thought that Lin Li had been studying hard at home all day.

The hardship of this was not something that could be told to outsiders.

Lin Li frowned.

He found that Zhou Baowei was looking at him with a strangely benevolent gaze.

Is he sick?

"Are these on the table enough to eat? If not, I'll go to my room and get some of my private collection," Zhou Baowei said gently.

"Give me a good review first," Lin Li did not forget his original intention.

"No problem, I'll do it now. Although it's hard to do it to you, it all came out. Ahhhhh! Catch it all, Lin Li!! Open your mouth!!" Zhou Baowei nodded vigorously and quickly operated his phone.

Lin Li: "?"

"Are you f*cking sick!"

The lewd Zhou Baowei.

【Perfectly completed 30 sect missions issued by the Meituan Escort Agency (12/30)】

"But thank you, you made me feel very comfortable," fortunately, Lin Li was also a lewd man. After seeing the system message, he cooperated very well.

"What do you say, want to play games? My parents won't be back until very late. We can do whatever we want. I have a console at home. You can kneel next to me and watch me comfortably play this family-friendly annual game, the little robot," Zhou Baowei asked again.

"You're a thumbs-up for spending four hundred on this. Calling a single-player game family-friendly is definitely something Batman would do. I still have one order to deliver. I have to go now. Next time," Lin Li looked at his phone and said with a smile.

After delivering this order, he still had to rush home to click "delivered". He would definitely be overtime, but as a delivery rider, letting the customer wait until overtime and deliberately clicking "delivered" after overtime were still different.

"That's fine too," it was even better news that Lin Li was leaving. Zhou Baowei stood up to see him off.

"I've memorized your address. I'll come often in the future. It's just a pity that it's a bit far from my home. I love small oranges. Prepare more in the future," after peeling a small orange and stuffing it into his mouth, Lin Li said indistinctly while not leaving empty-handed.

Zhou Baowei: "..."

How can I tactfully bring up the matter of moving with my family?

After Zhou Baowei's door closed, Lin Li didn't leave in a hurry. He was still refreshing the order-grabbing interface at the door.

Half a minute passed, and Zhou Baowei's muffled voice came from inside the closed door, "You f*cker, get lost! I won't order takeout again for half an hour!"

The peephole was dark. Zhou Baowei was probably staring at the door.

Oh no, he's been seen through.

There was no other way. Lin Li could only leave now.

...

As expected, for the last order, when he arrived at his own residential area and clicked "delivered", it was already several minutes past the delivery time, and a face recognition scan immediately popped up.

Lin Li quickly went upstairs, opened the door, and cast a great summoning spell, "Mom!!"

"Coming, coming," Wu Min had already changed into her home clothes and came over with her slippers dragging.

"Help me scan my face," Lin Li handed his phone to Wu Min.

"Okay."

"You've been delivering all afternoon. How much did you earn?" Wu Min asked curiously and expectantly while scanning her face.

"If I remember correctly, it should be a little over fifty," Lin Li said after a moment of recollection while taking off his shoes.

"Not bad, you earned fifty. It's a little more than mom thought. I'll take a picture for you later. Your big uncle and the others are all praising you for being so sensible," Wu Min said with great gratification.

The face scan was over, and the software automatically returned to the main interface. So Wu Min casually clicked on the income page from the sidebar.

「Withdrawable Balance: 5.0」

"..."

She was silent.

After a moment of silence, Wu Min took a deep breath, told herself to be emotionally stable, and then asked:

"Lin Li, you said a little over fifty. This 'little', is it between five and ten?"

"Mom, just tell me if it's a little more," Lin Li waved his hand calmly.

"So, what this number means is that my son, in order to catch the rush hour, left in a hurry at twelve o'clock after eating, and didn't come home until after seven o'clock, a full seven hours, and earned five yuan, is that right?" Wu Min continued to take a deep breath as she confirmed.

"Hello, mother, yes," Lin Li nodded sincerely.

But you really can't blame Lin Li for this.

He was indeed very serious about completing the delivery tasks, but the problem was that there were too many timeouts. He had to be fined every time. With the increases and decreases, it ended up like this. And every day he went online, he had to pay a 3-yuan insurance fee. Otherwise, Lin Li could have had a full 8 yuan in income, an increase of 60%.

And Wu Min also clicked on the details and saw all this.

This was an even more difficult fact to accept:

So my son wasn't even slacking off? He was just being fined all the time because he didn't meet the platform's requirements?

After he did his best, he earned less than one yuan per hour on average?

And the electric scooter was rented.

"Li," she began.

"What's up?"

"You must study hard. A child like you without good grades will definitely starve to death in society," Wu Min said earnestly.

Lin Li: "..."

My mom, her words are so hurtful.

...

Wu Min returned to the master bedroom and immediately went to her phone.

「The child has grown up and wants to experience the hardship of earning money. He insisted on experiencing food delivery today... I'm very touched. I feel that all my efforts have been worthwhile.」

She first deleted this long essay of several hundred words.

Then she opened her siblings' group chat.

「Second Brother: @Wu Min, sis, hasn't Ah Li come back yet? How much did he earn today?」

「Big Sister: Ah Li has been smart and lively since he was a child. It must be a lot.」

Wu Min's expression was complicated and regretful.

「Wu Min: Little Li just came back. He earned a little over 50.」

「Second Brother: So much? Amazing! [Like][Like][Like]」

「Big Sister: Awesome! [Rose][Rose][Rose]」
