Chapter 428 Lin Li's cause of death in his previous life was found
Wow, with a vision of 5.0, that little butt of Lin Li can become a pilot.
Damn, what are you thinking about?
Zheng Hong quickly shook his head to dispel this outrageous thought.
Then he squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Li's crotch, trying to see through Niu Niu's eyes to his butt. Although Lin Li's butt was indeed facing him just now, but... it shouldn't be that serious, right?
Seeing Zheng Hongzhen looking suspiciously at Lin Li's butt, Liu Feng on the side could no longer hold back his laughter.
Lin Li was also a little embarrassed. Did he really believe it?
He naturally discovered it using his spiritual sense.
Looking at Zheng Hong who still refused to give up, Lin Li sighed:
"Master Zheng, just bear with it for the whole afternoon. Hold on a little longer, there's less than an hour left. When you finish work and leave school, I won't be able to stop you even if you smoke fifty cigarettes at a time like a Gatling gun."
"Alas, what's so good about smoking? You don't want your daughter to call you a smoky dad in the future, do you?"
Zheng Hong knew and understood Lin Li's meaning, but he was really itching to do it, so when faced with Lin Li's dissuasion, he almost used a pleading tone:
"Lin Li, just one! Really just one! I promise, after this one, I won't touch another at noon!"
"I'm sorry, Master Zheng, I really can't back down on this today." Lin Li was determined, tasked with this. "Besides, I'm not asking you to quit smoking. Just holding back for one lunch shouldn't be a big deal, right? How do you normally take the high-speed train or plane?"
"I haven't taken a plane yet, but I can get off the high-speed train at the transfer station and have one..." Zheng Hong said weakly.
Lin Li still shook his head, but before Zheng Hong could speak again, he suggested, "Master Zheng, how about this? I'll find you something to eat as a substitute. With something to chew, you might not be so tempted to smoke."
"Is this... is this too much trouble for you?" Zheng Hong scratched his head in embarrassment, as if he felt that this was not a good idea. He still wanted to smoke more. "Besides, where are you going to get food here?"
"It's okay, no trouble, easy to do." Lin Li shook his head, stood up and walked towards Zheng Hong: "I'll go get it now, I'll be back in a minute or two, but you have to give me the cigarette first, otherwise I'm afraid you will secretly smoke it while I'm away."
Although he was very reluctant, Zheng Hong finally took out the cigarette case and lighter helplessly and handed them to Lin Li as if he was handing over contraband.
A school is a school. As soon as I come in, I feel like a student. I really want to die.
The two watched Lin Li walk quickly out of the distribution room and disappear at the stairs.
In less than a minute, Lin Li came back jogging with a plastic bag in his hand.
"Master Zheng, here we have beef jerky, chewing gum, nuts, chocolate, and drugs. You can try them all and see which one can help you relieve your smoking addiction." After approaching, Lin Li introduced the contents of the bag while showing them.
Zheng Hong and Liu Feng: “?”
Hey, wait a minute, did something weird get mixed in?
However, after just over half an hour of interaction, Zheng Hong could already tell that this was just Lin Li speaking no human language again, so he simply pointed at the light green powder in the bag and asked curiously, "What kind of drug is this?"
"Mint powder," Lin Li explained, "It tastes quite stimulating and intoxicating. Just a little bit of it makes you feel cold all over. I think it might help you control your addiction."
"Thank you for your hard work." Zheng Hong sighed, picked up a piece of beef jerky and stuffed it into his mouth to chew, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
"It's me who has caused trouble for you, Master Zheng," Lin Li smiled, then looked at Liu Feng and said with a smile, "Brother Liu, you can take some too."
"Then I won't be polite."
"Keep working." The itchy feeling in his lungs was indeed suppressed a lot after he had something to eat, but Zheng Hong still urged him, "You've wasted a lot of time."
The three of them returned to work.
"Lin Li, what brand of beef jerky is this? It tastes pretty good. I want to buy some when I go back." After finishing the beef jerky in his mouth, Liu Feng seemed a little unsatisfied and turned to ask Lin Li.
Without even turning his head, Lin Li threw the bag to Liu Feng, letting him take the second one himself, and said, "I didn't buy it."
"Oh, you made it yourself, right? No wonder it tastes so good."
"Not really," Lin Li said calmly, "I picked it up."
"Ah? Picked it up? Where did you pick it up?"
"On the railroad tracks, Brother Liu, if you think they're delicious, I'll pick more for you next time. But it was cloudy all last week, so most of them should still be sparse. We'll have to wait a while before we can have a good harvest."
Zheng Hong and Liu Feng: "..."
Although they knew Lin Li was joking, they both felt that the beef jerky in their mouths had become a little smelly.
This isn't delicious beef jerky anymore.
This is the best beef jerky since the beginning of time.
Liu Feng did not speak to Lin Li, but turned to look at Zheng Hong, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally speaking sincerely:
"Master, please quit smoking. To be honest, I don't think cigarettes are any good anymore—"
Zheng Hong's mouth twitched slightly: "Because Lin Li is easier to beat, right?"
Wow, the master can answer questions quickly. Liu Feng nodded with satisfaction. It seems that he is not the only one who feels so.
No wonder Teacher Xue runs so fast.
If it were me, I would run too.
"Okay, Liu Feng, hurry up, time is life, time is money, quickly put these labels back on the line!" Seeing that Liu Feng was still looking at him, Zheng Hong threw a label book beside him to Liu Feng with some dissatisfaction and urged him.
Although beef jerky chewing gum can relieve Zheng Hong's smoking addiction, it is ultimately no substitute, and Zheng Hong still wants to light mosquito coils.
"I understand, Master." Liu Feng shrank his neck.
Lunch break passed quietly.
For the rest of the time, the three of them worked hard.
While working, Lin Li did not do anything strange and completely followed Zheng Hong's instructions. However, from the perspective of system tasks, he said a few more words about his concerns about insect pests, asking Zheng Hong to think about it more.
Zheng Hong did not smoke another cigarette. When he wanted to smoke, he put mint powder on the base of his thumb, then pressed one nostril and inhaled through the other nostril.
This is still the best!
Just kidding.
Zheng Hong stopped smoking simply because his cigarettes had been confiscated by Lin Li and never returned, so it was useless for him to leave Lin Li's sight and he had no choice but to give up.
"The white doves in the church will not kiss the crows~~" The cell phone in Zheng Hong's pocket rang. It was not a call, but an alarm clock.
"Cheshuo's Lao Ba won't go home on an empty stomach~~" Lin Li couldn't help but sing along.
Thanks to Lin Li, Zheng Hong decided to change his alarm clock tone when he got home.
After turning off the alarm that reminded him of the time, Zheng Hong stood up and compared the currently confirmed list of materials, doing a final check.
"Okay, the parts and components that need to be replaced have been identified. If there's any cleaning work that's not completed, we'll continue the same tomorrow." After checking everything was correct, Zheng Hong looked at Lin Li and said, "Lin Li, please stand at the door first. The power needs to be restored."
"Okay." Lin Li nodded and immediately came to the door.
"You've worked hard."
"It's not hard. Without me, Master Zheng and Brother Liu might be more efficient." Lin Li said politely.
Damn, Zheng Hong didn’t deny it.
With Liu Feng's assistance, with a "click", the electric meter not far away lit up red.
【Task three completed.】
[You have received rewards: Physical improvement: Spiritual energy absorption speed increased by 100%; System currency * 50]
[From what happened today, we know that many people disregard the ban on Xiaoyao Powder. However, there is no order without rules, and Xiaoyao Powder is harmful to the surrounding cultivators. We must not tolerate it and must strictly control it. We must be on guard!]
【Mission triggered! 】
[Task 3: Dissuade a cultivator who chooses to consume Xiaoyao Powder in a prohibited area one hundred times (0/100)]
[Quest Reward: Physical Improvement: Spiritual Energy Absorption Speed Increased by 300%; 1 Random Pill; 100 System Currency]
The previous mission three has just ended, and the new mission is seamlessly connected. It seems to be a series of missions?
This task doesn't have any title rewards, so there should be a next task.
But there is no need to think about these things for the time being.
As for this task, the requirements are easy to understand. Just dissuade someone from smoking in a prohibited area one hundred times.
Is persuasion enough? Is it feasible to persuade someone a hundred times within a minute?
But all in all it shouldn't be a difficult task. Even if you can't brush the data, you should be able to complete it by spending some time.
"That's it." Zheng Hong and Liu Feng packed up their things and walked out of the distribution room.
Before closing the door, Zheng Hong asked Lin Li and Liu Feng, "Is everything safe? After locking the door, we'll have to contact someone from your school to open it again."
After both of them shook their heads, Zheng Hong closed the door.
Then Zheng Hong looked at Lin Li expectantly.
Lin Li naturally knew what Zheng Hong was asking for. He took out cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket and returned them to Zheng Hong, but at the same time he also warned:
"I'll give it back to you, but Master Zheng, smoking is still not allowed on campus. If you want to smoke, you have to go outside the school gate."
"I know Lin Li." Zheng Hong nodded firmly. After taking the cigarette, he smiled and said to Lin Li, "You can go back to the classroom. I have to go to your school's logistics department with Xiao Liu to check the list and price list. I'll trouble you at noon."
"Okay, then Master Zheng, Brother Liu, see you tomorrow at noon." This part should have nothing to do with his sect's formation mission, so Lin Li nodded, said goodbye, walked towards the stairs, and disappeared around the corner.
"Let's go, Master, to the logistics department." Liu Feng said to Zheng Hong.
"I'll go later. I'm going to the bathroom to light some mosquito coils. I can't stand it anymore."
Zheng Hong waved his hand, slapped the bottom of the cigarette box in his hand, and caught a cigarette with his mouth, but he was not arrogant enough to smoke openly. Instead, he left his apprentice and walked quickly to the toilet.
Seeing this, Liu Feng shook his head helplessly, but didn't say anything.
"People live for a puff of cigarette~"
Zheng Hong hummed a tune as he walked into the dimly lit men's restroom. For some reason, the power was on but the lights were not on.
But Zheng Hong didn't care. He walked in and lit his lighter with a click.
The lighter not only illuminates the cigarette, but also the smiling faces of the pseudo-people standing there.
“Ah ...
It was noon now, and even if the lights were not on, there was still sunlight coming in from the window. However, Lin Li was hiding inside the toilet, and when Zheng Hong pressed the lighter, he suddenly stood in front of him.
He was so caught off guard that not only did he drop his cigarette and lighter, he also staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground. He leaned back against the tile wall outside the toilet and let out a terrified scream.
After seeing who was in front of him, Zheng Hong pointed at Lin Li with trembling hands: "Lin Li?"
Lin Li shook his head: "I'm not Lin Li, I'm the vengeful spirit of someone who died from secondhand smoke while taking a shit in the school toilet."
Zheng Hong: “…”
Your mother.
Grass.
"Don't give me that! You scared me to death." Zheng Hong was still frightened, but then he became even more confused: "Lin Li, didn't you go upstairs?"
Lin Li didn't continue playing tricks, but just boasted with a little pride: "I anticipated that you might not pay attention to my warning, so I didn't go upstairs. Instead, I went around from the outside and climbed through the window to get into the toilet. There you are."
"Haha, did you catch him?"
Zheng Hong: “…”
Zheng Hong couldn't even use words to describe what he was thinking.
The same thing.
Can this person be the first in the grade?
No, Zheng Hong now feels that this sentence is too wrong, it should be:
How can this "?" be the first in the grade?
"Master Zheng, smoking is not allowed on campus. This is the rule. Please understand." Seeing that Zheng Hong didn't say anything, Lin Li spoke again seriously.
"I know, I know. I really won't smoke anymore. I really won't smoke anymore."
Zheng Hong calmed down, picked up the lighter and cigarettes on the ground, checked and found that they were not dirty, wiped the cigarette holder with his fingers, put it back in his pocket, and waved his hand.
Lin Li frowned slightly, thought for a while, looked at Zheng Hong and spoke more seriously:
"Master Zheng, I still don't quite trust you. If you really can't help it, you can go smoke one outside the school first, and then go to the logistics office. But you absolutely cannot smoke inside the school. I plan to follow you to the logistics office and monitor you the entire time."
Zheng Hong was stunned.
He suddenly began to believe that maybe Lin Li had really been choked to death by secondhand smoke while taking a shit in his previous life.
…
Lin Li stood at the door on the first floor, watching Zheng Hong and his apprentice Liu Feng walk out of the school.
The two of them couldn't help but look back every time they walked a few steps, and Lin Lizhe always waved and greeted them with a smile on his face.
[Personally dissuaded a cultivator from using Xiaoyao Powder in a forbidden area one hundred times (1/100)]
The task progress has become 1.
It didn't change when Zheng Hong waved his hand and said he didn't want to smoke in the toilet. The reason why Lin Li frowned at that time was that the task progress was still [（0/100）].
The moment when the progress increased by one was after Zheng Hong expressed his determination. He was a little depressed, and then he said with a helpless smile that he would go to the school gate to have one first.
It seems that the mission requires successful persuasion.
If the person being dissuaded only agrees verbally but doesn't really care, the system won't take it seriously.
And after the progress increases, your subsequent dissuasion will not be able to accumulate data.
This does increase the difficulty of completing the task.
Lin Li took note of it silently in his heart.
…
Logistics Department.
"Okay, Master Zheng, this is the procedure. You just need to sign here and bring the replacement parts on the list tomorrow."
The logistics teacher handed two confirmation forms to Zheng Hong and said.
"Okay." Zheng Hong signed quickly. "Is this all right?"
"Yeah, that's right." The logistics department put away one of the forms and nodded. "Contact me when you come tomorrow and I'll open the door for you in advance."
"OK."
After making sure there was nothing else, Zheng Hong and Liu Feng left the logistics department.
"Let's go back to the company." Zheng Hong said to Liu Feng after folding the receipt and putting it into his handbag.
"Wait a moment, Master, I'm going to the bathroom." Liu Feng raised his hand.
"I'd better go to the bathroom too." Zheng Hong also felt like peeing and his lungs were a little itchy. He nodded and followed Liu Feng to the bathroom.
When approaching the toilet, Zheng Hong suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, Master?" Liu Feng asked in confusion.
Zheng Hong looked towards the men's restroom door with uneasiness and vigilance. His Adam's apple rolled over, and he glanced at Liu Feng nervously, nodding towards the restroom: "Liu Feng, go over and see if Lin Li is in there."
Liu Feng: “…”
Looking at Zheng Hong, whose face was somewhat pale, Liu Feng, who had just heard about what Lin Li had done, lowered his head, his expression already trying to hold back laughter like Longtu's Big Head Son.
What does it mean to be afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once?
I've developed PTSD.
Is it that so?
But in order to give Zheng Hong some face, Liu Feng suppressed his laughter and nodded: "I see, Master, I'll go take a look."
Liu Feng strode towards the toilet and couldn't help but smiled and shook his head:
"Master, just let go! Why the hell are you still here?!"
When Liu Feng's figure disappeared at the toilet door, only a scream from Liu Feng was heard from the toilet. Within 2.5 seconds, he staggered and ran out of the toilet in panic.
He leaned against the tiled wall, gasping for breath, and looked at the toilet door in shock.
“Lin Li…Lin Li…Master…Lin Li is really here!!”
"Da da."
Lin Li, still wearing a fake smile, slowly walked out and looked at Liu Feng and Zheng Hong. He felt a little embarrassed as if he had been seen through. He scratched his head and said, "Hi~"
Zheng Hong was silent for a long time.
Then he smiled with relief.
Raise your hand: "Hi~"
Fuck you.
…
[Personally dissuaded a cultivator from using Xiaoyao Powder in a forbidden area one hundred times (2/100)]
Lin Li walked towards the classroom, watching the data changes on the system panel and continuing to summarize his experience in his mind.
"It doesn't have to be a hundred different people a hundred times. The same person can count towards the quest requirements repeatedly. However, it's not clear how long the interval should be, or what conditions must be met for it to count as a duplicate."
"It doesn't require the other person to explicitly smoke for the persuasion to count. It's enough if they have the intention and are willing to carry it out."
——The reason for reaching the latter conclusion was that he scared Liu Feng. When he came out and looked at Zheng Hong, the task progress immediately became (2/100).
After a few seconds, Zheng Hongcai smiled and waved his hand: "Lin Li, I don't plan to smoke, I just came to the bathroom."
Whether before or after the progress increased, Zheng Hong did not take out cigarettes or lighters throughout the whole process.
With these two new conditions, the difficulty of completing the task is reduced again.
Lin Li thought about it and had some ideas in mind. He decided to try it out tonight or tomorrow night after school.
——Lin Li did not intend to complete this task in school.
This task needs to be done "in person". If there is no such requirement, I can ask Wang Ze or Du Hansi to help me convey some harsh words to those smoking students, and maybe it can count towards some data.
But if you need to meet in person, this definitely won’t work.
It was impossible for Lin Li to always squat on students in the school toilet, or squat on Xue Jian during class breaks.
Well, the latter is free anyway, so it’s possible, but you can’t just grab 98 pieces of data from Xue Jian alone, right?
It's not that I have a guilty conscience and don't want to do this to Xue Jian, it's just a matter of convenience, the main reason is that this is too slow.
Since the task is not limited to the school, it is better to start from the no-smoking areas outside the school.
After school in the afternoon, you can go out and prepare some things.
Of course, you can also pay attention to it on weekdays at school. It’s just a matter of convenience.
Before they knew it, they had reached the door of Class 4. Lin Li pushed it open and said, "Shurima, your emperor is back!!"
There was no verbal response in the classroom.
Chen Tianming's look was "Where did this idiot come from?"
As for Wang Yuezhi, he wanted to look up, but he didn't after hearing the voice.
well.
The day before yesterday, when Lin Li explained to the back row why Xue Jian was looking for him, Wang Yuezhi heard it clearly. At that time, he realized that Lin Li would not be in the classroom at noon today.
So he thought, today would be a nice afternoon - at least it wouldn't be uncomfortable, right?
After all, I no longer need to endure, listen to, and subconsciously pay attention to the sweet love of the young couple behind me on the left.
Even, I can live a simple but in contrast extremely wonderful world for two people (＾－＾)V!
Finally, I got what I wanted.
Lived with Chen Tianming.
It's a despised lickspittle!
As for Chen Yuying.
She used to come to the classroom almost regularly at noon, but today she was absent.
Although there were indeed no young couples at noon.
but.
Damn, it’s even more uncomfortable QAQ.
