Chapter 149 : Goodbye Mom, I'm Sailing Far Away Tonight
Monday night, approaching midnight.
Less than twenty-four hours remained until the end of the holiday.
Lin Li lay in bed, just like last night, waiting for the arrival of midnight the next day.
He had only done two things during the day today, this and that:
He woke up early to continue practicing the spiritual energy chapter of his cultivation technique in his room. These two days of hard work had basically completed the fourth chapter of the Eight-Stage Body Tempering Art, and his efficiency in utilizing spiritual energy had once again been improved to a certain extent.
Although the physical body chapter had taken much longer to practice than the spiritual energy chapter, he had not yet completely mastered the third chapter.
However, the progress on both sides was already quite fast. He felt that at this rate, as long as the supply of spirit stones could keep up, and he persisted for the one month of mission one, he could basically master all eight chapters of the Eight-Stage Body Tempering Art.
He had originally planned to deliver food in the morning after finishing his practice, just like yesterday morning, but Wu Min was not awake.
Considering that it was a rare opportunity for his mom to sleep in, although she could go back to sleep, Lin Li still didn't want to disturb her.
There was no need to contact Shen Kai either, so Lin Li spent the morning studying, apart from taking a nap himself.
In the afternoon and evening, he went to deliver food.
But because he had gained a lot of experience, his efficiency was no worse than yesterday. The progress of mission four had now reached (26/30).
He could definitely finish it before the evening self-study session tomorrow night. At worst, he would just ask for leave again.
It was worth mentioning that the balance in his account had directly increased from 4.0 to 10.0, becoming a three-digit number, an epic progress.
The progress was so great that Wu Min kept persuading Lin Li not to think about delivering food anymore.
As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, Lin Li immediately went to the [Store] to redeem items.
【Low-grade spirit stone】.
This damn probability. He encountered bad luck, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't win. Lin Li sighed with regret.
He then exchanged for another 「Ability Enhancer (+1)」.
"I used to feel like I had nowhere to use it, but how come I only have 570 system currency left now?" Lin Li muttered to himself in a low voice.
【You have used the Ability Enhancer (+1) on 「Power-Up」, 「Power-Up」 has been upgraded to 「Power-Up (+1)」】
【Power-Up (+1): After completely paralyzing your right hand for two hours, you can accumulate one use. For one hour after use, the power, ability, and move effects output by your right hand will be tripled. Both paralysis and skill use cannot be interrupted. The storage limit for Power-Up is 3.】
The storage condition for Power-Up had become stricter, requiring two hours of paralysis, but the output effect could now be tripled. Lin Li felt it was worth it.
The operation of waiting up late was completed.
He could sleep again after scrolling through his phone for a while. Tomorrow, no, today would be another busy day.
On his phone, a few people had sent him messages. In the group chat, he could even see a notification for a red envelope.
After all, today was Tuesday, the day when boarding students had to go back. It was also the Mid-Autumn Festival, and some classmates had the habit of sending group blessings during holidays.
—Sending group blessings on minor holidays, basically either you're relatively young, or you're relatively old.
Lin Li also politely replied to each one. The fact that they were willing to include him when sending group messages was something to be grateful for.
TA has me in their heart.
「Yao Qiaoqiao: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Li.」
There was actually one that wasn't a group message. But it wasn't sent at the exact time either. It felt like she was sending them down a list one by one.
It warmed him for the whole day.
「Lin Li: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to you too.」
「Yao Qiaoqiao: [Hehe]」
The essence of humanity is a repeater. Also, your sticker is nice, but it's mine now.
「Lin Li: [Hehe]」
「Yao Qiaoqiao: [New Hehe]」
Lin Li: Too lazy to reply, hehe.
「Wang Ze: On the fifteenth of the eighth month, the bright moon hangs high in the sky; friends and relatives, admire the moon and flowers; at the time of reunion, f*ck your mom; telling old stories, with blessings full; a round of bright moon, looking forward to the future; Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, may all your wishes come true!」
Just as Lin Li was about to send "You're f*cking sending me a group message too, aren't you?", he narrowed his eyes and noticed something was wrong.
It was hidden quite deep.
You dog thing.
「Lin Li: Wang Ze, are you sure you can eat mooncakes today and not steamed buns? I feel like you haven't added any nuts.」
A few minutes later, Wang Ze replied.
「Wang Ze: ?」
「Wang Ze: Although it was a group message, there's no need to curse me, right? And so violently?」
「Lin Li: What are you still pretending for? Are you trying to get me to react to your change of face, little brother? [Pats head]」
「Wang Ze: Ah, what on earth are you talking about?」
「Lin Li: I've already found the curse word in your blessing. It's too obvious, you idiot. Remember to be more subtle next time, like in an acrostic poem or something.」
Wang Ze did not reply immediately.
It seems he was furious after being exposed by me.
Half a minute later.
「Wang Ze: F*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck!!」
「Wang Ze: Lin Li, I'm f*cking done for! This was sent by Zhang Haoyang in our dorm group chat. I didn't notice the "f*ck your mom", and then I just group-sent it!
It's one thing for you guys to be cursed, but the problem is, I also group-sent it to several of my family groups and relatives!
F*ck, two minutes have passed, and I can't retract it! Ah!! What should I do now!!」
Then Wang Ze frantically sent stickers, starting to spam the chat.
Lin Li: "?"
「Lin Li: ? Are you kidding me?」
「Wang Ze: If I'm lying, may I be infertile but have many descendants, and may taste buds grow at the end of my large intestine! I f*cking wish it were fake too!」
Lin Li: "..."
This oath is too harsh. I have to believe it now.
Lin Li put himself in Wang Ze's current situation, and he was already sweating profusely.
This is too terrifying.
It doesn't matter if you send it to boys. It... barely doesn't matter if you send it to girls. But sending it to elders...
Lin Li called him. Wang Ze answered in a second. Lin Li immediately spoke, "Wang Ze, I have a way to slightly alleviate your current problem."
"Quick, tell me, what should I do now?" Wang Ze's voice was audibly anxious.
"Do you have a computer next to you?" Lin Li was much calmer.
"Yes, yes!"
"Turn it on now, connect your phone via USB, then click on the cloud drive link I sent you on WeChat and download it."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Damn it, Lin Li, thank goodness for you. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do," the sound on Wang Ze's end immediately became a lot of rustling, as if he was getting out of bed. There was also the sound of a laptop being opened and a keyboard being typed. His tone was full of gratitude.
Then the gratitude came to an abrupt end. Wang Ze's voice was stiff and mechanical, a monotone reading, "...Why the f*ck is it porn?"
"This way you can have a good time before you die. I highly recommend this one. Remember to watch it on the computer. The big screen is more satisfying!" Lin Li said happily.
Wang Ze: "..."
Seeing that Wang Ze was not speaking, Lin Li then added, "If you're not in the mood for this right now, I have another link. It's a super awesome video of a row of sows falling into a ditch. It's hilarious. Do you want to watch it?"
"Get lost, Lin Ziqiao! You're a real beast! Your respiratory tract and your vocal cords have grown together, haven't they? You're still talking shit at a time like this!" Wang Ze roared.
"Good burn, I'm impressed. I'll use it on Bufan next time," Lin Li chuckled even after being scolded.
"Oh well, you can't retract it. You might as well send another group message to apologize. But let me warn you first, this will make those who didn't notice it notice it now, especially those who even said thank you to you. It'll be even more awkward. It's a dead end."
After having his fun, Lin Li gave a barely useful suggestion, and then comforted him:
"And sometimes, if we look at things from a different angle, things might not be so bad. Just like how the Leaning Tower of Pisa looks tilted to us, but it's straight to Hawking. That's the charm of perspective.
So, from another perspective, your stupid behavior this time can be seen as a large-scale friend test.
Those like me who keenly discovered your hidden curse words are true friends who really care about you. You should worship them like ancestors, and it would be best to transfer 200 yuan to them;
And those who don't even discover this curse word by tomorrow are all fake friends who are just perfunctory with you. It's no pity to delete them."
"What if a true friend becomes a fake friend after seeing this message?" Wang Ze asked again.
"Then they deserve to be deleted," Lin Li analyzed calmly.
Wang Ze: "..."
You motherf*cker.
Wang Ze didn't speak on his end. A few seconds later, the sound of sobbing came through.
The day before yesterday, Zhou Baowei cried. Yesterday, Bai Bufan cried. Today, Wang Ze cried.
Lin Li should have felt guilty for doing such an excessive thing.
But the problem was, this sobbing sounded a little familiar to Lin Li. It was clearly a woman's, and she didn't sound like a local. Lin Li, whose memory was now much better than before, remembered that it seemed to be from the movie he had just sent.
You motherf*cker.
"Why the f*ck are you already watching porn?" This time it was Lin Li's turn to be silent.
"You sent it, I downloaded it, and the computer is on. I have to watch it. Mmm, your taste is indeed not bad," Wang Ze was emotionless.
This ethereal voice made even Lin Li feel a little unbearable.
Some people sound like they're still alive, but they've actually been dead for a while.
This wasn't watching porn anymore. This was seeking spiritual solace, just like watching the Spring Festival Gala during the New Year, to make the room less quiet.
Watch it, watch it. If the child loves to watch it, let him watch more.
"Knock, knock, knock!" On the other end of the phone, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"Wang Ze, you come out here! What the hell did you send to the family group chat!" Then, a middle-aged woman's affectionate call came.
"Lin Li, thank you for the movie. I have something to do, I have to hang up first," upon hearing this, Wang Ze took a deep breath and laughed.
Du—du—
Wang Ze hung up.
I shouldn't have cursed at Wang Ze just now. Wang Ze definitely has nuts. But the problem is, Wang Ze's nuts might be about to lose one nut.
I don't know if I'll still be able to see him at the evening self-study session tomorrow night.
Lin Li shared the story, and so everyone built their sadness on Wang Ze's pain, and they all laughed happily.
When one whale falls, all things live. Wang Ze had only paid the price of his own life, but in exchange, he had brought happy smiles to so many people. He would probably be smiling in the underworld.
Of course, not everyone was happy:
「Zhang Haoyang: Can someone crowdfund two revival armors for me? If two is too many, just one for my mom is fine. I just received a death threat, it's urgent.」
Zhang Haoyang, you're quite filial.
