The System is Abstract, Luckily, So Am I

Chapter 155 : A Quick Word, Followed Closely, and Then Writing at the Desk

"Baowei, Lin Li made me want to defend myself."

As soon as Zhou Baowei came in from the corridor, he heard Bai Bufan say such explosive words to him.

Op-en-ing, violence, hit.

"Don't be noisy, I'm barbecuing," as soon as Zhou Baowei finished speaking, he slapped himself, "F*ck your barbecue, disgusting!"

Zhou Baowei hated barbecue the most now.

After slapping himself, he went up excitedly and blocked one side of the table with his broad body, "Let's start. I'll block everything for you."

"It's not what you think..."

Then, after listening to Lin Li's explanation about suicide and self-defense, Zhou Baowei was greatly shocked. Useful new knowledge has increased.

"So boring," but it turned out that he couldn't see the exciting scene. Zhou Baowei sighed, "I was hoping to get it while it's hot."

Bai Bufan: "?"

"Baowei, don't be like this. I really live in the same dorm as you. I'm scared," Bai Bufan moved closer to Lin Li.

"It's a misunderstanding. This 'while it's hot' is in the physical sense of eating," Zhou Baowei said. "My dad said that as long as my grades improve significantly in the monthly exam, he'll let me eat whatever I want with a budget of five thousand. So as long as I eat everyone who is ranked ahead of me, my ranking will improve."

Lin Li: "..."

"There are too many things to complain about that I'm too lazy to complain," Lin Li said.

But it was very in line with Baowei's eating philosophy.

"What's there to complain about? The upper class relies on eating people, crazily eating people," upon hearing this, Bai Bufan's voice was as deep as Brother Xun's.

As for eating the bitterest of the bitter, that was serving the upper class.

Lin Li pushed Bai Bufan away, "I don't know you. It's true that the Mid-Autumn Festival is suitable for longing, but you can't long for someone like this. You'll eat a purple egg sooner or later."

*Who put Bai Bufan at the same table as me?*

The bell for the evening self-study session rang, and everyone took their seats one after another.

"But thanks to you, Lin Li, I actually finished my holiday homework at home. Now I don't have to catch up on my homework. And my dad was very happy when he saw me studying. He's about the same as Baowei's dad. He promised me that as long as I make significant progress in the next exam, he'll buy me a new phone. It's a blessing in disguise."

Bai Bufan opened his exercise book and spoke with some excitement.

"A new phone? What about the old one?" Lin Li asked.

"The old phone has been recycled on Dewu. Guazi second-hand cars, fast on-site service, high valuation, and quick payment. For selling second-hand digital products, I go to Tantan!" Bai Bufan replied, reciting the advertisement slogan with exceptional fluency.

"Tantan is good. I have to learn Tantan."

...

More than ten minutes after the evening self-study session began, Xue Jian, holding his briefcase, slowly walked into the classroom and sat down at the front.

"The autumn trip is over. Everyone, get your minds back on track."

"The date for the first monthly exam has been set. It will be next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, from the 25th to the 27th. This way, you'll have a day off on Saturday. We'll try our best to finish grading them as soon as possible, and we'll go over the test papers with you on Sunday and Monday, so you can have a good National Day," after sitting down, Xue Jian slowly said to everyone.

Because there were ten subjects to be tested, and no exams were arranged in the evening, three days was enough.

"Teacher, can we not grade them? I think we'll have a better National Day that way," Right Protector Wang Ze sincerely expressed everyone's thoughts.

Then he fell silent under Xue Jian's death glare.

"At that time, the things on the desks and the boxes in the aisles will have to be cleared. The drawers don't need to be cleared because it's a monthly exam. But after the seating chart is out, everyone will have to move their desks. At that time, Yuying, you organize some people to do it."

"Okay, teacher."

"Everyone, remember, don't treat it as nothing just because it's a monthly exam. Although the monthly exam is a small test, the results are often useful."

Xue Jian continued.

Nansang High School's awards and honors each semester were related to the major exams within the semester, including the monthly exams. And not just within the school, some universities' independent admissions would also look at students' usual grades. Although the weight of the first-year high school monthly exam would undoubtedly be very small, it was possible to be eliminated because of this mosquito-sized meat.

Starting next Wednesday.

Today is only Tuesday, which means I still have a full week to strive. I can use [Enhanced Memory] for more than ten hours.

Lin Li thought so. After the time was set, a sense of urgency immediately emerged.

"Strive!" Lin Li cheered himself on.

"Then are you going to a tavern to do stand-up comedy?" Bai Bufan asked.

"That's right," Lin Li immediately threw himself into his studies, writing at his desk.

Bai Bufan looked at the focused Lin Li, cursed "damn it" in his heart, and followed closely, writing at his desk.

Zhou Baowei looked at the focused Lin Li and Bai Bufan, cursed "scum" in his heart, and followed closely, writing at his desk.

Chen Tianming looked at the focused Lin Li, Bai Bufan, and Zhou Baowei, and thought to himself, "Why are they falling down one by one like dominoes? It's so funny. If only Qiaoqiao could see it, she would definitely laugh. Ahhh, I'm thinking of how Qiaoqiao looks when she laughs. So cute."

It's okay. I'll remember it and tell Qiaoqiao on the weekend.

So he followed closely, writing at his desk.

The most studious evening self-study session in the first-year class four.

Looking at the two key targets in the back row, and a super-duper-key-target, Xue Jian nodded with some gratification.

Although Lin Li definitely had problems, this time it might not be that bad.

...

At the end of the evening self-study session, Lin Li pulled Bai Bufan and forced him to watch him put his textbooks and exercise books into his schoolbag one by one.

Tormenting Bai Bufan was one of the few pleasures Lin Li had left after becoming addicted to studying.

The results were also significant. Bai Bufan actually brought his bag back to the dorm.

He could only walk home tonight. When he passed the food street, he had wanted to buy some braised food for a late-night snack, but after finding that the boss's gaze was a little unfriendly, he changed to another shop.

"Young man, do you have any dietary restrictions?" the boss asked after lighting the fire.

"I'm allergic to little ducks," Lin Li said.

The boss: "..."

He walked out and looked at his own shop's sign, then stared at Lin Li, "Young man, you're allergic to ducks and you still ordered the tea tree mushroom duck pot?"

"No, boss, you misunderstood. I'm only allergic to little ducks. As long as the ducks are bigger, I'm not allergic," Lin Li explained.

The boss: "..."

You motherf*cker.

"...I see. I'll definitely pick a big one for you," the boss was at a loss for words. It was obvious from his expression and tone that this was not what he really wanted to say.

"By the way, boss, do you have fresh duck blood here? The kind with good quality," Lin Li then asked.

Lin Li had not forgotten the conditions for using the "Emotion and Desire Containing Bottle". But Lin Li was reluctant to use his own blood every time, and who knew how much it needed. So he planned to test whether the blood of real-world animals could be judged as the blood of a spirit beast.

"Yes, how many portions do you want? Do you want to add it directly to the pot?" the boss nodded and asked.

"No, put it in a separate bowl. Two portions will be fine," Lin Li nodded.

"Eight yuan."

"Scanned."

"Here, young man, this is for you," the boss took out a box of duck blood from under the stall, skillfully cut the film on it with a small knife, poured it into the packaging box, then covered it and handed it to Lin Li.

Lin Li looked at the plastic box of duck blood that had been thrown aside and fell silent.

If I remember correctly, a box sells for two yuan and fifty cents in the supermarket.

How to describe black without using the word black?

—This old bastard in front of me.

"Boss, didn't you say fresh duck blood?" Looking at the reddish-brown duck blood in the box, Lin Li said weakly.

"I just took it out of the packaging box. Isn't it fresh?" the boss argued forcefully.

Lin Li: "..."

Lin Li also had his pride.

If the boss hadn't refunded three yuan, Lin Li would have been angry.

Looking at the duck blood in his hand, Lin Li sighed.

It's okay. The "Emotion and Desire Containing Bottle" is willing to absorb even nosebleeds. It probably won't mind duck blood with a few additives.

...

At the door of his home.

"Goodbye, old friend. I hope we can meet again by fate."

Looking at the stone he had been kicking all the way, Lin Li said softly.

Lin Li was glad that he hadn't missed a kick all the way. Because when a boy kicks a stone while walking, if he misses it, he usually won't turn around to find it, but there will be a faint regret in his heart.

Upstairs, at home. After finishing the duck pot, Lin Li materialized the "Emotion and Desire Containing Bottle" in the dining room.

"Do you need me to cut it into the shape of an octopus?"

Taking out the duck blood and the kitchen knife, Lin Li added some drama to himself, his voice deep.

He cut a thin slice with a small knife, and Lin Li pressed the duck blood against the body of the bottle.

The situation was as Lin Li had expected. The "Emotion and Desire Containing Bottle" really accepted everything.

Although it was not fast, the duck blood stuck to the bottle could still be observed to be shrinking with the naked eye.

It would probably be absorbed faster if it were liquid and purer.

Unfortunately, the protein in this blood, which had been separated from the living organism, had already denatured. Even if it was heated, it would at most become more fragrant, but it would not return to a liquid state.

Lin Li simply poured all the duck blood into the "Emotion and Desire Containing Bottle", while he took out his textbooks and began to study.

Before he knew it, he had studied until almost twelve o'clock.

Lin Li took the bottle and found that its weight had been greatly reduced. He turned it over on the desktop and patted it for a long time, but only some gelatinous substance and liquid fell out.

Probably the additives.

This bottle, if you say it's a picky eater, it's really not. But if you say it's not picky, it's quite picky.

Twelve o'clock arrived.

【Low-grade spirit stone】

【Ability Enhancer (+1)】

【450 (1150)】

Lin Li exchanged for the "Ability Enhancer" but did not enhance any ability. After all, this thing was a limited purchase. It was definitely not a bad thing to save some in advance.

It was just a pity that it was a low-grade spirit stone again. Damn system, you didn't just falsely label a probability to comply with the law, did you? The places where spiritual energy is needed are increasing. If you continue like this, I'm really, really going to get angry. If you don't be sensible next time, I'll beg you to be a little more sensible the time after next.

Sigh, it's all because there's no spiritual energy in reality. It's really difficult to move forward. If there were spiritual energy, where would I have to suffer so much?

With the spirit stone in hand, Lin Li continued to refine the "Emotion and Desire Containing Bottle".

Yesterday afternoon's refining had already left only a thin film between the two. As the spirit stone gradually emptied, Lin Li took a deep breath, his expression a little joyful.

The initial refining was successful.

【After more than two decades in the cultivation world, you have finally successfully refined your first magic treasure. Although it was developed by an evil cultivator, a magic treasure does not know its own righteousness or evil. An evil object in the hands of the righteous can also be bright and magnificent.

The magic treasure still needs to be further integrated. Why not take this opportunity to benefit the world?】

【Mission Triggered!】

【Mission Four: Use the "Emotion and Desire Containing Bottle" to absorb the negative emotions and desires of other cultivators.】

【Reward: Physique Improvement: Image Charm +10%; Holy Dragon Essence Blood *1; System Currency *100.】
