The System is Abstract, Luckily, So Am I

Chapter 89 : Not in This Barbershop

A promise is a weighty thing and should not be made lightly.

With the system capable of going crazy at any moment, who knew if their next encounter would be in the Hehuan Sect again?

Therefore, a "rose" was the best reply to express his feelings.

Unfortunately, Yang Liang didn't seem to understand his feelings. When they said goodbye on WeChat, his words revealed a hint of resentment.

There was really nothing he could do about him.

...

Night.

After searching for information on the computer for a while, Lin Li solved some of the doubts on the photocopy. At this point, the translation of the Pure and Righteous Thunder Control Technique was basically half done.

The speed was much faster than when he had translated the Eight-Section Body Tempering exercise.

Besides the fact that the content was indeed much less than the Eight-Section Body Tempering exercise, the experience and knowledge accumulated during the previous translation also provided a lot of benefits this time, greatly improving the efficiency.

With a new cultivation technique, he naturally had to learn it.

The opening content, which was the first step for Lin Li to practice this Pure and Righteous Thunder Control Technique, was actually quite simple:

To control thunder, the body had to be able to accommodate and control lightning. The opening chapter was about how to use spiritual energy to transform one's body into a Pure and Righteous Thunder Body, allowing one's body to absorb, transfer, and output lightning.

As the progress of the thunder body transformation increased, the efficiency of these links also increased. In the end, the efficiency would be greater than 1—that is, the absorbed lightning would be stronger when output after circulating in the body. The thunder body became an amplifier.

If it could only be an amplifier, then this thunder technique couldn't be called a thunder technique. After the thunder body was fully formed, generating lightning on its own was also a basic operation.

When Yang Yongxin arrived, he would have to respectfully call him the Thunder King.

Electric Shock Boy, quickly use your Mars Great Leap Forward!

The shaping of the thunder body required spiritual energy. The spare low-grade spirit stone that Lin Li had exchanged for but not used on Sunday night came in handy at this moment.

Materializing it, Lin Li began to guide the spiritual energy to circulate and break through the barriers in his body according to the introduction of the Pure and Righteous Thunder Control Technique.

There were too many acupoints and terms marked on this Pure and Righteous Thunder Control Technique. Lin Li couldn't find these words on the modern internet at all. They were probably the kind that only circulated in the cultivation world. Fortunately, it was also an illustrated book, so he could find the positions according to the illustrations.

The most important role of the spiritual energy chapter of the Eight-Section Body Tempering exercise in transforming his body was that it could make one piece of spiritual energy in his body be used as two.

This point was not obvious when he continued to study the spiritual energy chapter. After all, the more spiritual energy the later chapters of the spiritual energy chapter required, this effect of improving his utilization of spiritual energy was directly offset or even covered.

But now, its benefits were fully displayed.

This piece of low-grade spirit stone felt so durable now.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Li opened his eyes, still wanting more. The spirit stone in his hand had already become an empty shell.

But its sacrifice was valuable.

The spiritual energy had already followed the instructions of the Pure and Righteous Thunder Control Technique and had circulated through most of his body. With just one more low-grade spirit stone, he would definitely be able to complete a full circle and transform his body into the most basic thunder body.

Then he'd just stay up until twelve.

The anticipation for the thunder body far outweighed his sleepiness. He probably wouldn't be able to sleep even if he went to bed now.

But it was only a little after ten.

He couldn't just wait for two hours.

If it were before, Lin Li would have already started his happy short video time.

But now, the schoolbag he had rarely brought home had its use!

Study! I love studying! Studying loves me!

Turning on the eye-protection desk lamp, Lin Li set off towards his goal of making Wang Yuezhi his son.

"I can't believe I'm actually doing this," Lin Li himself couldn't believe it.

This broken desk lamp was covered in dust, which was enough to show how long it had not been used.

But when Lin Li's mom came home when he was a child, she often saw Lin Li studying like this.

But when she touched the TV or computer case and was burned so much that she had to touch her earlobe to cool down, Lin Li knew his disguise had failed.

Fortunately, moms rarely had belts.

A feather duster was much more comfortable to be hit with.

...

"A green machine gun shooter and a blue ice shooter, their offspring are all green machine gun shooters. Hmm, that means green and machine gun are dominant genes."

"Then after this machine gun shooter self-pollinates, there will be four kinds of offspring. All the dominant and recessive genes will make a grand appearance. This question is quite basic. What is the flower language of a pea? 9331!"

"By the way, what position is self-pollination?"

"Damn, you pea family, why are you suddenly having an orgy in this question? Shameless! Can't you raise your moral standards!"

"Damn Mendel, you kid, using the church's money, planting the church's land, and then taking your damn basket of peas and overthrowing the church! And Morgan, you and your damn white-eyed fruit flies are no good either!"

Because he was alone at home, Lin Li could say his thoughts out loud without any scruples while studying.

Although he was complaining, Lin Li believed that biology was the kindest subject in science, and it was also his best subject in science.

Originally, if he hadn't activated the system, Lin Li's seven-choose-three would probably have been biology, geography, and technology.

But because of the basic memory improvement and [Enhanced Memory], Lin Li's choice should be more humanities-oriented now. But anyway, it would be decided at the end of the semester, so there was no hurry.

"Ding-a-ling—ding-a-ling—"

The alarm clock rang, meaning it was twelve o'clock.

"Yay! Four more hours until I can grind the Genshin daily quests!"

Just kidding, Lin Li doesn't play Genshin.

He immediately put down Mendel's legacy, brought up the system, and exchanged for today's spirit stone.

It was another bland low-grade one. The gambler had yet to achieve anything.

[570 (650)]

Ever since he could use spirit stones, a parenthesis number showing his historical system currency had appeared in the system currency column of his panel.

Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Lin Li sat cross-legged on his seat again and began to absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stone.

More than ten minutes passed.

Lin Li opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath.

There was still a small half of the spiritual energy left in the spirit stone in his hand. He'd save it in the warehouse for now.

The spiritual energy had already circulated a full circle in his body according to the instructions of the Pure and Righteous Thunder Control Technique. The thunder body was initially formed.

Lin Li took out his photocopy of the Pure and Righteous Thunder Control Technique and looked at the content at the back.

With a thunder body, he naturally had to start controlling thunder. But before he could generate thunder himself, the cultivation of the Pure and Righteous Thunder Control Technique still required external help.

The Pure and Righteous Thunder Control Technique did give some suggestions on external forces, such as "soaking in a thunder pool," "going to the third heaven of thunder," "searching for thunder-containing seeds," "taking a purple thunder pill"...

It was very rich, almost a nanny-level teaching. The only problem was:

"Can you fucking say something that exists in reality?"

"Why don't you just have Misaka throw a coin at my forehead? Wouldn't that be more electrifying than a thunder pool?"

Lin Li threw the photocopy of the Pure and Righteous Thunder Control Technique back on the desk.

Complaining was one thing. He looked around.

Thunder, to put it bluntly, was just electricity. In theory, not only did it exist in reality, but it was also everywhere.

For example, the socket Lin Li was looking at right now.

If he went to wash his hands now but didn't dry them, and then stuck them directly into the socket and did a hand gesture dance, it would probably hurt a little.

Lin Li's gaze then turned to the charging cable of the desk lamp. There was a cracked rubber ring in the middle, which was wrapped with several layers of black tape to ensure safety.

If he unwrapped the tape and put the copper wire from the cable in his mouth to knit a sweater, the taste would probably be a bit more numbing than Sichuan peppercorns.

If these weren't powerful enough, the power lines that sparrows often chattered on, doing a pull-up on them should also be quite fun.

Lin Li felt that with these thoughts, he was the most ballsy man in the world.

He might be able to put these ideas into practice in the future.

But it had to be in the future.

Lin Li felt that he probably couldn't handle it right now.

If his corpse was electrocuted black, and when he went to heaven, God thought he was black and sent him to pick cotton, what would he do?

The thunder body was only initially formed. He should still test the power of the lightning he came into contact with gradually.

With his current thunder body's resistance to electricity, it was probably not even as good as the legendary electricity-resistant king, Wu Jing.

Lin Li didn't hesitate. He went directly to the shopping app, first bought a few electric shock toys, and then bought a basic 600-plus yuan CNC power supply that could control the current output from 0-220V.

But to let Lin Li go to sleep now and wait for the delivery, Lin Li felt a little unwilling.

He'd look for other power sources at home.

Lin Li first thought of the "Electric Little Devil Blood Crow Racket." This thing was right next to his desk.

He picked it up and looked at it. There was a warning on it, forbidding touching, and a reminder that the interlayer electric grid had a voltage of 2100 volts.

2100 volts sounded scarier than 220 volts, but in reality, what really affected the damage was the current. The greater the current and the longer the time, the greater the harm.

He searched for information on the computer. When the current reached 10 milliamps AC and 50 milliamps DC, the human body's muscles would spasm, and the pain would be obvious. Any further increase would lead to difficulty breathing and heart spasms, endangering life.

In addition, when the human body is not wet, it has a certain resistance. Touching this electric mosquito racket would definitely not be fatal, but it would definitely be very painful and might even leave a semi-permanent scar.

It was better not to try it rashly.

Lin Li didn't want to have any flaws on the charm he had worked so hard to improve.

Remembering Bai Bufan's reason for being punished in physics class today, Lin Li decided to be the kind of idiot Bai Bufan talked about who wore a sweater in summer.

Of course, just wearing a sweater was not enough.

The reason why the physics teacher could ask why it was not easy to generate static electricity when taking off a sweater in summer was that the air humidity in summer was higher, and the electric charge was easily conducted away by the water vapor in the air, making it difficult to accumulate, so it was difficult to generate static electricity.

—But a genius is always a genius. Lin Li chose to run to the wardrobe with a desiccant and rub the sweater.

He did manage to rub out a few crackles, but these static electricity disappeared before Lin Li could even touch them.

Genius's defeat.

Lin Li pondered.

"Wait, how did I forget about that thing!"

Lin Li threw down the sweater, crawled out of the wardrobe, and began to search the house.

Finally, Lin Li smiled.

—He had found a few lighters in the tool cabinet at home.

And Lin Li's gaze was locked on the piezoelectric igniter inside the lighter.

Lin Li had played with this thing a lot when he was a child.

He used it to shock people, and of course, he was also shocked by it—because it was a double-edged sword. If he pressed it with his own hand, it was very likely that he would be shocked as well.

This was a ready-made electric shock toy.

When he was a child, Lin Li would even specifically look for discarded lighters on the street, then smash them to take out this igniter.

Of course, violent dismantling was not advisable. It was very dangerous. Once, when he was smashing a lighter, it exploded. Fortunately, he had thrown it far away and was not injured.

At this moment, Lin Li chose a lighter with the least amount of butane left, pried open the iron sheet on top with a screwdriver, and twisted the plastic part until it came off.

This way, he could safely remove the piezoelectric igniter.

Without hesitation, since it wouldn't cause any substantial harm to the human body, Lin Li immediately aimed the wire at his skin and pressed down without hesitation.

"Click—"

In the dim environment, a fleeting spark could even be seen.
