The System is Abstract, Luckily, So Am I

Chapter 87 : Does Calling for Backup Count as a Thunder Technique?

However, the mission description included both. If he ranked 101st and made it onto the honor roll, the mission probably wouldn't be completed.

Even worse, because he had made progress this time, if he ranked 100th next time, he wouldn't be able to get on the progress list.

If this situation really occurred, there was still a way to deal with it. If he didn't make it into the top hundred, he would just tell Xue Jian that he was not satisfied with his score and didn't want to be on the progress list this way. He would ask him to remove him from the list and get on it after he made it into the top hundred.

When the progress score was displayed, the time span could just be stretched a little longer.

Xue Jian probably wouldn't refuse.

If he refused, Lin Li would just give Xue Jian a banner, based on the photo he had shown him. Xue Jian would definitely be anxious.

Thinking of this, the only problem left was how to get into the top hundred.

What position was more suitable?

For the Lin Li of the past, who was stably ranked in the four hundreds, to suddenly jump into the top hundred was, both in theory and in practice, close to a fantasy.

The top hundred were basically occupied by the Olympiad class students who were recruited in advance and the internal little geniuses like Chen Yuying in each parallel class. It was very possible that the first in the class could only rank twenty or thirty in the grade.

The top students in his class were considered very good among the parallel classes, but in the final exam last semester, only five or six people in the class made it into the top hundred.

Fortunately, besides working hard, he could also add points.

His memory was now stably doubled, his comprehension had increased by 10%, and he had an hour of near-photographic memory every day.

The daily nourishment of the spirit stone was also continuously improving his body in all aspects, including his spirit and energy.

And the next monthly exam had been postponed, the time was not yet set. At the latest, it would be after the National Day, and at the earliest, it would be at the end of September. He still had a lot of time left.

It felt like there was a chance.

So although this mission no longer required him to listen attentively in class, he still had to listen attentively in practice. He even had to study harder to review and preview in his spare time.

Having figured this out, Lin Li raised his head and looked at the PPT.

First, understand.

Then, fail.

Finally, forget it.

He'd take a break this class.

Lin Li looked at the system and checked the random cultivation technique in his [Warehouse].

[Pure and Righteous Thunder Control Technique].

Holy shit.

Could it be that because he was checking it in physics class, and the content of the class was currently electromagnetic phenomena and technology, he was randomly given a thunder technique?

But from the name, it felt a bit more awesome than the Eight-Section Body Tempering exercise.

After all, the former was an exercise, and the latter was a technique.

After he cultivated it, would he be able to become the Thunder Duke? As for the Thunder Mother, would the Jade Emperor assign one?

Lin Li really liked thunder. Who could refuse a big thunder?

His path of cultivation was finally going to take a big step towards the 'immortal' side.

If it weren't for the many people and prying eyes around, Lin Li would have really wanted to take it out and admire it.

...

At noon, because of the thunder technique, Lin Li chose to eat outside.

After materializing it, he found that it was similar to the Eight-Section Body Tempering exercise. It was also a book, quite thick, but a bit thinner than the Eight-Section Body Tempering exercise.

It was classic classical Chinese, in traditional characters. Lin Li also confirmed that there were no reference answers at the back.

It seemed he would have to translate and understand it all over again.

Fortunately, with the previous experience, Lin Li's heart was calm. Following the same method as last time, he took pictures with his phone, then went to the print shop to print it out. He could study it when he had free time during evening self-study.

The main thing was that he had to take notes. Otherwise, Lin Li would have just used [Enhanced Memory] to memorize it.

When he returned to the classroom, Wang Yuezhi and Chen Yuying were already there.

"Class president, how many points and what kind of grades do I need to get into the top hundred in the grade? How much do you think I'm still lacking?" Sitting back in his seat, Lin Li rubbed his cheeks and asked Chen Yuying.

"Why are you suddenly asking this? Do you want to get into the top hundred?" Chen Yuying asked curiously.

"It's not that I want to, but I have to. In the next monthly exam, I will amaze everyone," Lin Li said with a light laugh, his youthful spirit bursting forth.

"The scores are definitely related to the difficulty of the exam. If Luo Hao and the other physics teachers don't act human, the average score of the physics parallel classes can be as low as forty. As for how much you're still lacking..." Chen Yuying looked at Lin Li carefully upon hearing this.

"There should, perhaps, possibly be a chance... the difference is not... particularly, particularly large... right? There's a chance, yes, there's a chance," Chen Yuying encouraged.

"Class president, if these words are difficult for you, you don't have to force yourself, and you certainly don't need to hypnotize yourself. I'm a yellow-card member of Tieba, my defense is maxed out," unfortunately, Lin Li was not encouraged at all.

"The difference is too big! I climbed from the one-hundredth place to a stable twenty to forty now. I know very well how big the gap is between you and the me of the past.

Lin Li, with your current learning style of 'the drinker's heart is not in the cup,' it's really very difficult. I'm sincerely saying this for your own good, Lin Li. Listen to my advice. The most important thing for you now is to focus on studying by yourself."

Wang Yuezhi turned his head and said sincerely to Lin Li.

Because before the official lunch break began, Lin Li and Chen Yuying usually didn't lower their voices when they chatted normally, so this guy was always eavesdropping with his ears pricked up. Lin Li and Chen Yuying were used to it.

Wang Yuezhi's gaze was really too sincere.

Unfortunately, this kid was the real one whose 'drinker's heart is not in the cup.'

He even had to specifically emphasize that he was now stably ranked between twenty and fifty.

Who asked you?

It's really a tadpole with a frog tattooed on it—what are you showing off to your mom?

"When I marry Qiuya, can you not sing and dance here?" Lin Li then sighed softly.

"The snowflakes are fluttering, the north wind is whistling~~" After saying that, Lin Li even provided his own voice-over for Wang Yuezhi.

The hard work of many early morning readings paid off at this moment. It sounded quite good.

Wang Yuezhi: "..."

Lin Li really didn't use any profanity when he cursed him now, but it felt even worse than when he did.

"Hehe, good intentions are taken for ill! With you like this, you will definitely not be able to get into the top one hundred in the grade in the next monthly exam," Wang Yuezhi said angrily.

"What if I do!" Lin Li narrowed his eyes.

"I'll call you 'dad' for a whole semester. Of course, the results can't be cheated or faked!" Wang Yuezhi immediately replied. The bets of high school boys were really too simple and unadorned.

"Good!" Lin Li clapped his hands heavily.

"Then what if you don't make it?" Wang Yuezhi asked in return.

"If I don't make it, you call me 'dad,' also for a whole semester!"

"Good! I accept too!"

"OK!" Lin Li nodded. "The bet is on. The class president is the notary!"

Lin Li and Wang Yuezhi's gazes both turned to Chen Yuying. Chen Yuying, who was eating melons, nodded blankly when she met their gazes.

She scratched her head. Did she hear correctly just now?

The corner of Wang Yuezhi's mouth curled up slightly. For someone ranked in the four hundreds to want to jump to the top hundred in the grade in half a month was simply a fantasy.

In this bet, the advantage was on his side.

...

Five minutes later.

"Lin Li! Wait! No! There's a problem! Why is it that if you lose, you call me 'dad'? Then whether you lose or win, aren't you still my dad?"

Wang Yuezhi turned his head sharply and questioned.
