Chapter 430 Extraordinary Guys Other Than Miss Junsha and Miss Joey
After being scolded by Xue Jian, Lin Li returned to his seat.
But it wasn't all in vain - after repeatedly emphasizing that he would keep a close eye on Lao Jiantou and not let him smoke, the task progress still jumped a bit and became (3/100).
This further strengthened Lin Li's judgment that "this task must not be completed in school."
It will take a long time to complete it on campus.
There are still too many restrictions in school.
Fortunately, during the day, Lin Li had already made a comprehensive plan for this.
As soon as the school bell rang in the evening, Lin Li rode his bike back home and changed out of his school uniform into casual clothes.
Afterwards, Lin Li went downstairs, got on his bicycle again, and headed for his destination for the night - the Internet cafe.
There are many no-smoking areas in Nansang. After all, in theory, smoking is prohibited in all public indoor places.
But this is just theory.
In real life, most businesses and customers either don’t care or don’t even know about it.
But having more places is not enough. Another important condition for completing this task is that there must be a lot of people around 10 o'clock in the evening and afterwards - after all, no matter how many people there are at other times, Lin Li will not be able to go over and persuade them.
Considering the above conditions, the first thing Lin Li thought of was an Internet cafe.
Maybe there are KTVs and nightclubs, but KTVs are too private, and you can't hear what people are saying in nightclubs. Even if you hear it, you will think that those who say smoking is not allowed in nightclubs are idiots and it is impossible to persuade them.
In comparison, Internet cafes have become the most suitable compromise target: many people will smoke in this place, but everyone is more or less aware that smoking is indeed restricted in this place, but both merchants and customers are taking a chance and not taking it seriously.
Arrived at the first Internet cafe "Cloud Internet Cafe".
Lin Li walked hurriedly, skipping the front desk and going inside.
The receptionist looked up and didn't pay much attention. Seeing that Lin Li didn't look guilty, she just thought he was looking for a friend or a customer who had turned on the phone before.
A quick glance around the hall revealed a faint smell of cigarette smoke in the air, but no targets were found committing crimes.
Lin Li turned to the box area.
Few Internet cafe rooms are fully enclosed. Most of them have an observation window, while the "cloud Internet cafe" even has a transparent door, so the situation inside can be seen at a glance.
After walking a few steps, Lin Li locked onto a room for six.
There are only three people inside at the moment, but two of them are lighting mosquito coils.
Lin Li did not rush in rashly, but took out a brooch-style work badge from his pocket that could be pinned on his chest.
There is currently no content on the work badge because it is a replaceable card type.
With a thought, Lin Li took out a piece of work card with the words "Cloud Internet Cafe" and the trademark logo from the "Qiankun Ring".
Lin Li neatly stuffed the card into his work ID card and pinned it on his clothes.
After that, Lin Li raised a confident smile and calmly pushed open the door of the box.
All three of them were playing chess, and at a glance, they were suspected to be Carter dogs.
Playing chess doesn't require full concentration, so after hearing the voice, they all had time to turn their heads and look at Lin Li. Seeing that Lin Li didn't intend to sit in the remaining three seats, a look of confusion appeared on their faces:
"Hello, you are..."
"Sorry to bother you three," Lin Lixian bowed slightly to the three of them, then got straight to the point: "I just received a notice that we need to be stricter about smoking in Internet cafes, so could you two please be patient and stop smoking?
Otherwise, we may ask you to leave or even impose a fine.”
"Ah..." After hearing Lin Li's words, the two smokers didn't react at first. After digesting Lin Li's words, they immediately nodded and cooperated by extinguishing their cigarettes in the paper cups on the table.
"Okay, okay, got it, we won't smoke anymore."
[Dissuaded in person... one hundred times (4/100)]
Only added 1?
Some people are dishonest.
"Okay, thank you both for your cooperation," Lin Li said calmly, leaving the box and adding a gentle warning:
"I will have another patrol tonight, but if I find you again, you will be fined at least $50. If it's a public official's inspection or a report from another customer, the amount will be as high as $200. So please take my words to heart, thank you.
I wish you a happy online life~"
[Dissuaded in person... one hundred times (5/100)]
Lin Li exited the box and looked at the system prompt that was jumping again, with the corners of his mouth raised in satisfaction.
The plan is very feasible.
Playing the role of network administrator yourself is simply invincible.
After all, if you try to dissuade someone from smoking as a passerby, even if you say you can't stand the smell of smoke, smokers will think you are being pretentious and won't take it seriously. But if you are the "network administrator who received the notice", the weight of your words will suddenly increase.
After leaving this room, Lin Li continued to inspect other boxes.
[Dissuading someone in person… 100 times (9/100)]
There weren't many smokers in this store, so after walking around, the task number stopped at 9.
Without waiting in the Internet cafe, after walking around for a while without any results, Lin Li immediately left the Internet cafe and rode his bike to the next one.
——If you squat in an Internet cafe for a long time, you will definitely be able to catch a customer who didn’t smoke just now and therefore wasn’t warned by Lin Li but wants to smoke, but this is too inefficient.
Internet cafes are not uncommon. Instead of sticking to one and waiting for some to slip through the net, it is definitely better to change the fishing pond.
We have arrived at our second destination tonight, Juxian Internet Cafe.
He pulled out the small note with the words "Cloud Internet Cafe" from the work card on his chest and put it back into the "Qiankun Ring". With a flip of his finger, a new card with the words "Juxian Internet Cafe" and the trademark printed on it appeared in his palm.
Insert your work ID card, and then click OK. Now you are the network administrator of "Juxian Internet Cafe".
Lin Li had these cardboards printed in color and then cut at a printing shop outside the school after he had a rough idea of his plan this afternoon.
Moreover, the number of color-printed pieces in the "Qiankun Ring" now is far more than just those from these two companies.
In fact, Lin Li prepared a piece of such work card paper for use in all the Internet cafes near his home, whether they were large chain Internet cafes or local Internet cafes that were not very well-known.
When you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself.
Even now, my status may not be as high as Da Bing's.
…
"So you're saying you're not allowed to smoke in this place tonight, right?" The man finished the remaining half of the cigarette in his hand in one puff and looked at Lin Li with a slightly frown.
"I'm sorry, yes." Lin Li said apologetically.
"Okay, I get it," the other party said without any pushiness. He simply stood up, shrugged, and prepared to leave. "Then I'll go to another place. I'm addicted to cigarettes, and I can't stand playing games without smoking."
"I'm sorry again." Lin Li apologized again, then left the box and watched the guest leave.
Nowadays, most of the billing and deduction in Internet cafes are done directly through ID cards. This customer left without communicating with the front desk at all, so he didn't have to worry about being exposed and could still stay.
[Dissuaded in person... one hundred times (15/100)]
And looking at the changes in the tasks, it seems that forcing people to leave is also a way to complete the task.
Lin Li continued to explore forward.
Found another one.
"Sorry to bother you. I just received a notice that we recently..." Lin Li pushed open the door of the box and walked in, reciting the fixed words fluently to the only person in the box.
The man who was operating the computer with one hand turned around when he heard this and stared at Lin Li with a puzzled look.
He subconsciously took another drag on his cigarette, his eyes fixed on the badge on Lin Li's chest, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. "Dude, are you the network administrator?"
"Yes." Lin Li nodded, pointed to his work badge, and said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Please cooperate with me."
The man put the cigarette on the table for the time being, nodded, and then opened his coat, revealing a small vest with the four large characters "Juxian Internet Cafe" written on it. He watched Lin Li point at the four words with his finger and asked in the same tone:
"If you are the network administrator, then what am I?"
Lin Li: “(；☉_☉)?”
Lin Li glanced at the computer screen.
Oh no, it seems this guy is not playing games, but repairing the computer.
Oh, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members don’t recognize each other anymore?
Lin Li's expression became serious. He stared into the other person's eyes, spread his hands, and kept making strange circles in front of the network administrator. His voice was soft but carried an inexplicable allure:
"You are a lolita...you are a lolita...you are a lolita..."
Network administrator: "(；☉_☉)?"
When confusion appeared in the network administrator's eyes, Lin Li felt that his hypnosis might have succeeded. So, relieved, he temporarily stopped his hand movements and asked expectantly, "Now tell me, who are you?"
No, this person is sick.
The network administrator's mouth twitched slightly: "I am your father."
Lin Li frowned slightly when he heard this. He was a little suspicious that this person seemed to be scolding him.
——I am an only child. If he were to be my father, then he would be the only child who could inherit the internet cafe. Wouldn’t that mean I would become the only child in the internet cafe?
After realizing this, Lin Li's expression suddenly turned cold:
"I just found six people smoking in your internet cafe. The internet cafe and the network administrator did nothing to stop them. This is a serious violation of the Regulations on the Administration of Internet Access Service Business Premises.
I'm going to report it now. You can expect the Cultural Market Comprehensive Law Enforcement Brigade and the Fire Department to come to your house for tea tomorrow! Then you'll see who's the boss! "
After saying those harsh words, Lin Li turned around and left.
The network administrator was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Li's hand: "Hey, no, no, no, you are my father! You are my father!"
Some things are not worth the weight if you don't weigh them, but if you weigh them you will find that even Zhou Baowei can't stop them.
If this kind of thing is taken seriously, the Internet cafe will definitely be punished.
After the store manager was punished, the next person to be punished and bear his anger would definitely be himself.
Having his clothes pulled, Lin Li turned around, patted the network administrator's hand, and said gently, "Alright, son, Dad was just kidding. How could I possibly report my own son? Dad has something else to do. I'll continue patrolling. Be good and do your thing."
Lin Li certainly knew what the network administrator was worried about, and in fact, this was also what he had considered during the day.
As long as they stand on the moral high ground, they can do whatever they want and point fingers at those below without fear of small accidents like the one happening now.
network management:"……"
Why the fuck have you already become your own father?!
Isn’t this a bit too much!!!
The network administrator's chest heaved, but looking at Lin Li's amiable smile, he gritted his teeth and swallowed back his frustration, nodding heavily: "Okay! Go ahead!"
Lin Li had barely taken a few steps when he suddenly turned back and looked at the network administrator eagerly: "Brother, are you interested in a father-son unity game?"
"What are you doing?" The network administrator's brows were twisted into knots. He just wanted this plague god to disappear quickly.
"Come with me to dissuade those who are smoking in violation of the regulations. This is your job." Lin Li said as a matter of course.
"Brother, why are you doing this?" The network administrator did not respond immediately, but asked more puzzledly.
"Of course it's for the justice in my heart," Lin Li's eyes instantly became deep and sad.
"I have a friend named Bai, and his life was ruined by cigarettes. His life used to be quite happy, but everything changed after he became addicted to smoking."
The network administrator's expression changed slightly, and he felt a little regretful for asking this question, as it seemed to have brought back painful memories for the other party.
Lin Li continued to tell the story:
"After becoming addicted to smoking, he spent all his salary on smoking. At the beginning of the month, he would say, 'I'll try a pack of cigarettes that cost two thousand a pack.' At the end of the month, he would 'roll a few cigarettes to see if I could smoke them.' Finally, in order to pick up a fresh cigarette butt thrown by a driver, he ran into the middle of the road and was hit and killed by his ideal.
The source of all this was the cigarette that I accepted from someone in the Internet cafe.
How could I remain indifferent?"
The network administrator regretted the question he had just asked.
Even a little scared.
Oh shit.
Did this guy get a pregnancy-preserving injection in the head when he was a child?
The network administrator shrank his neck awkwardly. "Is that so... I... I understand, but I won't go. You... you can come by yourself."
Lin Li: "Not going? Mr. Network Administrator, you don't want your store manager to lose his internet cafe? Or your job, do you?"
The network administrator smiled with relief.
Fuck you.
…
I tried it out and asked someone to help me stop others from smoking, but the system didn't recognize it, even if I witnessed it right there.
It seems that I can only rely on myself for this task.
Otherwise, maybe you can force the network administrator to fast forward.
But there is no need to rush, one-sixth of it has been completed, and it is not even eleven o'clock yet. There are still many Internet cafes to go to, maybe it can be done tonight!
It will only be two or three days later.
The next one is "Man Yi Internet Cafe".
After putting on the corresponding adaptive work badge, Lin Li moved between the boxes with ease.
[Dissuaded in person... one hundred times (17/100)]
[Dissuaded in person... one hundred times (20/100)]
After hearing the warnings from the network administrators, most people would immediately cooperate and put out their cigarettes.
For those who are heavy smokers and look embarrassed, after Lin Li has spoken of fines and clearing people out, the system prompts will basically arrive as expected.
Of course, there are a few stubborn people who refuse to listen and even turn a deaf ear to the threat of fines. Lin Li is too lazy to waste time on them and simply ignores them.
"Sorry to bother you, sir. We have been notified that we will be…" Lin Li pushed open the door of a private room and spoke as usual.
The man who was smoking a cigarette put down his hand upon hearing the sound and looked up at Lin Li.
The emotion in his eyes was first trance, then turned into confusion, and finally fixed on shock.
"No, buddy—" The man raised his hand and interrupted Lin Li before he could finish.
"How..." Before he could utter the word "了", Lin Li paused after seeing the person in front of him clearly.
Lin Li also recognized who this guy was.
——He was a customer who decided to change to another Internet cafe after finding out that he couldn’t smoke there.
Manyi is quite close to Juxian, so it is normal for the other party to choose this place after leaving.
"Why are you here as a network administrator again?" Wang Lei glanced at Lin Li's name tag, rubbed his eyes, and looked again, then said in shock, "Am I dazzled?"
Lin Li blinked, then pretended to be surprised: "Brother, did you just come from the Juxian Internet Cafe?"
"Yes!" Wang Lei nodded.
"Then I understand why you're surprised," Lin Li smiled, "You must have seen my brother."
"My brother works at Juxian Internet Cafe. If you stay up all night tonight, you'll see him riding his bike to pick me up at 5 a.m. when he's handing over his shift."
Wang Lei: “(；☉_☉)?”
Twins?
"How about I call my brother and show it to you? Today's incident is quite interesting." Lin Li pretended to take out his cell phone.
"That's not necessary." Wang Lei said weakly, scratching his head. Although his eyes were still suspicious, he actually believed half of it when he saw Lin Li's natural and frank expression.
Besides, I am not familiar with Lin Li, so there is no need to say more.
"The notice I just received was sent to me by him. Juxian's information channels are better than ours, so we are slow..."
Before Lin Li finished speaking, Wang Lei had already stood up and waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to say more:
"Your brother has already told me once, so you don't need to tell me again. I understand. I'll just change it. It just so happens that my phone isn't turned on yet."
[Dissuaded in person... one hundred times (22/100)]
"Thank you for your help~" Lin Li smiled brightly, "See you someday~"
…
The opportunity has come.
Twenty-two minutes later, at Yihe Shangjing Internet Cafe.
Lin Li and Wang Lei looked at each other in the box.
Wang Lei: “☉_☉”
Lin Li: “☉v☉”
Both of them stared at each other, and although one was smiling and the other was not, neither of them said anything.
The silence was not broken until the cigarette between Wang Lei's fingers burned out quietly and the hot ash burned his knuckles, causing him to scream and throw the cigarette butt away.
"Brother," Wang Lei took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, and said expressionlessly: "Come on, explain."
Lin Li thought for a moment and explained:
"Dude, have you ever seen Pokémon or Pokemon?"
"...Yeah." Wang Lei nodded.
Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief. This was easy to explain:
"Then you should know Miss Junza and Miss Joy. They serve as police officers and doctors in every city in the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Xinao regions."
"And the reason this happened is because they have a family behind them. Everyone in the family looks the same. They are a family of police officers and doctors, and generations of their family have been police officers and doctors."
"And I, Bai Bufan, belong to Xi Ling's network administrator family."
"Our family is similar to theirs. From a young age, everyone is trained as a network administrator. When they reach adulthood, they will be assigned to Xiling's internet cafe, shouldering the responsibility of network management and guiding everyone online."
"I am ranked eighth in the family. My brothers call me Bai Lao Ba. The extraordinary one you saw at Juxian Internet Cafe is my third brother, and the extraordinary one you saw at Manyi Internet Cafe is my sixteenth brother..."
Wang Lei: “?”
