Chapter 326 The Will of Fire is Still Not Recognized
The man turned and left, as if he had made up his mind, and never looked back at him.
Leaving, as defined in the dictionary, means to separate from a person or a place, and at that moment, Lin Li understood what leaving meant.
"Brother, I'm not sick!" Lin Li shouted.
But the man's steps became more and more hurried.
Fortunately, he had just thrown away the cigarette butt.
Lin Li picked up the cigarette butt and pressed it on his arm. The burning pain made his arm pause slightly.
As expected, the other attributes had improved before, and the "fire" did increase after being burned, but the increase was very small.
Lin Li threw away the cigarette butt and crushed it, then used [Healing] to start healing the several scars on his arm.
[Healing] is increasing in effect with his own strength, and now it is no longer the ability that was better than nothing at the beginning, which took several times to remove even the bruises.
After three days of separation, one should look at the person with new eyes. [Healing] is no longer the useless ability that I first met in September. It is now the useless ability of November.
——Now bruises and the like can be removed in one go.
The newly-born burn scars faded quickly to the point where they were not noticeable unless you looked closely. One more time would restore them to their original state.
Lin Li felt that he had this ability and was quite suitable to take a bottle of Monster Claw drink to change the flower knife OD pills on his wrists and become a visual landmine man.
In the stereotype, it is said that in this circle, as long as you are not afraid of the landmine girl's self-explosion and the ghosts that linger, you can do whatever you want.
It is a very authoritative circle that is worth joining - I emphasize again, it is a stereotype.
Retracting his thoughts, Lin Li picked up the crushed cigarette butts on the ground and threw them into the trash can.
Although the progress of "fire" has increased, the degree of his increase is similar to the progress of "water" in an ice shower, which is much slower than swimming and moving bricks.
In other words, he would have to be burned by cigarette butts tens of thousands of times in a row before he could complete "fire".
[Cure] can't cure it. Even if the reward of fire resistance arrives, it's not realistic to complete the task this way. We still have to find another way.
...
Alas, the people of Xiling are really uncultured.
Lin Li just called the funeral home again and asked them in a more polite way if they really don't accept orders for cremating living people. As a result, he was scolded as a Korean from nowhere.
Lin Li was not angry when he was called a big idiot before, but he really couldn't stand being called a Korean.
He wanted to take off his pants and throw them to the other side through the phone to tell him that he was not short at all.
But after hearing what the person at the funeral home said, "Sorry, sir, you misunderstood. I didn't mean you were short."
Then he gave Lin Li some popular science. The Korean star Ma Dongxi's nationality has now changed to the United States, so there is no Ma Dongxi in Korea now.
And when he said Lin Li was Korean, he was simply scolding Lin Li for not having Ma Dongxi.
He didn't say Lin Li was short.
Oh, that was indeed a misunderstanding.
Misunderstandings can be resolved by talking them out. After quarreling at the grave, they can make peace at the grave. Lin Li and the funeral home reconciled.
——Although the funeral home still refused to accept Lin Li's order to burn him.
Sighing, Lin Li wrote this sentence down in a memo titled "A joke that needs to be secretly recited in bed at 4 a.m.", and will find an opportunity to use it on Bai Bufan tomorrow.
...
Driving school.
[Task 2: Understand the mysteries of the five elements and seek to temper oneself with the power of the five elements (1/5)]
Through the use of "Yun Lei Zi" for a few hours, "Wood" has been completed.
Lin Li's car was parked on the side of the road. He was sitting in the driver's seat with a spirit stone in his left hand to absorb it, and his right hand was holding a mobile phone to browse Taobao.
Magic fire paper, stove, igniter, warm baby, dripping wax, fire extinguisher, all placed orders!
Swimming is enhanced water, and these are enhanced fire!
For the mission, for the warmth of Shanqing Taoist, I have to become a burner!
It's burning.
I looked at the time, and before I knew it, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
Just as the new class was about to be finished, Lin Li drove the car back to the garage and waited for the last face scan to be completed.
Today's class is almost here.
Xiren Driving School provides night training, not just a small training for Coach Yu to make money for himself. There are quite a few people practicing driving at this time. He was too lazy to bother others. After saying goodbye to Yu Jianan on the phone, Lin Li took a taxi to the night market.
Arrived at Pinglu Street.
Pinglu is relatively remote in Xiling. There is a Yudai River nearby. The flat and wide terrain along the river is one of the reasons why this place has always been chosen as a market place.
In the night, thousands of lights spread from the center of the stone street to the river beach, and then climbed and grew along the winding river. There was no end in sight. The later the stall owners came, the farther the stalls were from the street.
But away from the restrictions of the street, it is the real night market.
The new-age LED light strings and retro red lanterns weave a complex light path by the river.
There are all kinds of stalls, and you can see inflatable castles and carousels for children to play with, as well as food, drinks and entertainment.
There is also a stage that is being built and is almost completed. It should be the venue for tomorrow's performance.
Although it is already ten o'clock, which is considered "late at night" in the small town of Xiling, the lights are bright at this moment, and there are still many people walking around and eating, making it very lively.
Lin Li is not here to shop. After shopping now, what will he do with everyone tomorrow?
Lin Li, who has his own purpose, just runs forward along the moving line drawn by the stalls.
Arrived at the end.
"This location feels about the same." Lin Li looked at the other side of the Yudai River and muttered to himself.
Because the street was far away, this place was a little deserted. If it wasn't for the market today, I'm afraid no one would come here at all. The ground was not very flat, and the weeds were overgrown in the distance. Birds, crickets and frogs could be heard.
Not to mention the other side of the river, it was almost dark. I had
a rough idea in my mind.
Very good, it's time to go home and prepare to have a good time tomorrow, and forget about the mission.
It's not easy for online taxis to drive in here, and it would be troublesome to tell the driver where I am, so Lin Li walked back.
"Pah."
Lin Li kicked something while running, stopped and saw a wallet that he had just kicked open.
He went forward to pick it up. There was not much cash in the wallet, just one hundred, one fifty, a few coins, and a few bank cards or membership cards.
After searching for a while, he didn't find any identity information.
Lin Li, who is worth 40 million, naturally wouldn't covet these things. He closed his wallet and walked to the roadside stall, asking in a gentle voice:
"Auntie, do you know where the lost and found office is here?"
Although the night market is a thing left after the convention, it still needs official approval and management, so there must be a place like a lost and found office.
"Lost and found office? It's over there at the street office. I'm not sure. Go and have a look yourself?" The stall owner frowned and thought for a while, then pointed in a direction and answered unconfidently.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Auntie."
The stall owner was right. Although it was sloppy, there was indeed a new "Lost and Found Office" posted here.
"Uncle, I just found a wallet near the 300-plus position on the street. I don't know who lost it, so I put it here. Can you help me find the owner?" Lin Li went to the window and handed the wallet over through the small opening.
"Understood, put it here, I thank you on behalf of the owner." The staff nodded and took it, smiling at Lin Li.
"It's okay."
Lin Li waved his hand indifferently and turned to leave.
Then he paused.
——The "gold" of Task 2 moved again.
Eh?
The progress of "gold" was almost zero, but just now, it increased a lot.
Of course, it was good news, but Lin Li, who had made progress in the task, was confused.
Your mother.
What kind of "gold" tempering is this?
Yes, I did resist the temptation of money by returning the lost property, but how could the "gold" in the five elements be the gold of money?
Lin Li was shocked and didn't understand.
System, you fucking technicians don't go to HR - don't do human affairs.
After being stunned for a while, Lin Li had a complicated expression.
Anyway... Finally, he gave himself a direction. Lin Li put the phone that had opened the taxi app back into his pocket and looked at the night market.
...
"Uncle, I just found the wallet, mobile phone, clothes and backpack at No. 447 Pinglu Street. Put them here." Lin Li appeared at the window again.
"Found it again? People nowadays really don't take good care of their things, especially this guy. How could he be so careless and lose so much? Okay, put it here! Thank you."
The staff was a little surprised, then nodded, complaining.
...
When the light from the window was blocked by an object, the staff looked up and saw that it was Lin Li again. He was stunned for a moment.
Lin Li giggled: "Uncle, I just found a five-dollar bill by the river and put it here."
"Eh? Five, five dollars?" After hearing this, the staff was stunned for a second time.
To be honest, even if the owner of five dollars finds out that he has lost it, there is a high probability that he will not come here to look for it. He will just think that he is unlucky, right?
But forget it, it is also the kindness of the boy in front of him who is good at picking up things. The staff still smiled and nodded:
"Okay, put it here."
...
When the staff looked up and found that it was Lin Li's good-looking but somewhat annoying face again, the corners of his mouth twitched.
how: how; are: yes; you: you.
How are you? : Why are you.
How TM old are you! : Why is it always you! !
"Kid... what did you pick up again?"
Lin Li poured a few coins on the small table by the window, blabbering, and then introduced enthusiastically:
"Uncle, here are four one-yuan coins and one fifty-cent coin, which were found at No. 90, No. 305, and one about 100 meters from the alley..."
Although Lin Li knew everything,
the staff wanted to warm him up.
"(；☉_☉)?"
"Kid," the staff member said with a complicated expression, "...this kind of money, uncle thinks, why don't you take it yourself if you find it? It doesn't matter, you don't have to hand it over to me, everyone understands..."
In front of him, one of the coins that Lin Li gave him was covered with dirt stains.
It was obviously thrown in the soil for a long time, how did this child find this money?
He turned the ground over, right?
This child is not torturing himself for fun, right?
"How can this be." However, Lin Li shook his head and stared at the staff member. Although his words were calm, they were much more serious:
"Uncle, returning lost property is a virtue. Do not do good things for small things, and do not do evil things for small things.
The song "I found a penny on the side of the road" is sung by all of us. If you find property that does not belong to you, no matter how much it is, you cannot take it for yourself!
This is not a matter of amount, it is a matter of principle.
Uncle, what you said is worthy of your identity as a Young Pioneer! Is it worthy of your red scarf!"
Staff member: "..."
How old am I, I still have a red scarf.
"I have a problem with my thinking, I'm sorry..." But these words were too dazzling, the staff member did not dare to look Lin Li in the face or refute him, he bowed his head in guilt, "...Give me the money, I'll register it all."
"That's right~" Lin Li was relieved.
...
A few minutes later, when he saw Lin Li appear again not far away, the staff member looked heartbroken, sighed first, then forced himself to smile, and asked after Lin Li approached:
"Kid, what did you pick up this time?"
Lin Li seemed to be stunned for a moment, then spread his hands: "I picked up two cigarette butts and a plastic bottle, uncle, do you want them?"
Staff member: "(；☉_☉)?"
Hey! Wait!
"Kid! This is a lost and found office, not a garbage recycling office! You are disrupting our work by giving us this! Let's see what else you can quibble with now! I really can't stand it!"
The staff member suddenly got a little excited, stood up and pressed the table, and shouted to Lin Li excitedly.
I was suspicious, but I never found the opportunity!
Now I finally found the handle, it's my turn to stand on the commanding heights of reason and attack this kid!
"Ah? Of course I know, I definitely didn't plan to give it to you, I'll find a trash can to throw it in, here, this trash can." Lin Li was even more confused, and his words looked innocent.
His brows gradually frowned, and his eyes gradually became strange when he looked at the staff, with a puzzled look, and even concern.
Staff: "...☉_☉."
"Haha, haha, ha, this, this is it." The staff didn't know what to do for a while except to laugh awkwardly.
The smile gradually became desperate.
Damn, your mother is so embarrassed.
"I'm going to the toilet."
With a bang, the window of the lost and found was closed, and the curtains were drawn.
Lin Li shrugged in surprise, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, clapped his hands to remove the dust, and took a taxi home again.
He never thought of playing tricks on the staff, and he didn't mean it just now.
It's just that there are not so many people in this world who lose things at the same time.
What's more, these days, only very young children and very old people use cash, as for more precious things like mobile phones - many people won't lose their mobile phones even if their children lose them.
Moreover, as long as someone sees the property on the ground before him, no matter if this person intends to return the property or hide it, it will have nothing to do with him.
It is a very small probability event that the second wave can pick up the mobile phone, wallet and clothes.
Lin Li can only find and hand in those small coins and small banknotes.
As for the round of search that just returned, it was nothing, but as the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed, so Lin Li picked up two cigarette butts with the attitude of a good person and doing good things, which can be regarded as protecting the environment.
Of course, these efforts are still rewarding.
In the car, Lin Li began to review the results just now.
Returning the property can meet the "gold" required in the task, and it is not limited to specific money. As long as you resist the temptation to take these valuable things for yourself, it is considered to be in progress and through tempering.
Now the progress bar has gone one-sixth, and there is still progress when handing in clothes and mobile phones, and most of the progress is increased at this step.
The higher the value, the faster the progress increases.
As for the four and a half yuan coin, it was better than nothing.
In other words, if someone carelessly dropped 100 million yuan in cash in front of Lin Li, as long as Lin Li returned it, "Gold" could probably be completed in an instant.
But this opportunity is hard to come by.
Lin Li looked at the task.
The training method that was truly related to the gold element was not progressing well, but the abstract gold was progressing very quickly.
Is the reason why the orthodox method was not ideal because from the perspective of a cultivator, these elemental powers seemed too childish for cultivation?
If so, according to this logic, would the other four attributes also have an abstract but quick way to complete this task?
"Wood" has been completed, and there are also "Water", "Fire", and "Earth".
Then he suddenly took out his mobile phone and opened Naruto.
"I want to charge all 40 million into Naruto!"
"Wow! This is my own will of fire!"
The task ignored him.
Lin Li played two rounds of the arena and touched the opponent's head, but it was still useless.
Lin Li went to see some marginal bloggers.
However, when faced with the temptation of these burning goods, Lin Li clearly did not fall for his firm heart, but the "fire" of the system was still like the belly of a wife who inherited her husband's infertility - no movement.
Forget it, the flowers did not bloom when you planted them with care, but you got pregnant when you planted them unintentionally.
This thing doesn't seem to be something that can be tested in a short time.
Because he had been a hunting dog in Pinglu several times, it was almost midnight now. Lin Li, who felt sleepy, went home and fell asleep immediately.
...
The next day, Saturday.
Lin Li practiced the spiritual energy chapter of the Eight-stage Body Building Exercise at home.
When the last chapter and the last section were completed in his body, Lin Li suddenly felt enlightened and a sense of integration emerged.
[Task 1 has been completed. ]
[You have received rewards: Title: Fruit of Persistence; Physical Improvement: Qi and blood increased by 100%, physical strength increased by 100%; Medium-grade Spirit Stone*5; System Currency*200. 】
【Fruit of persistence: After wearing it, when you focus on something, your efficiency in this matter will slowly increase. The longer you focus on this matter, the greater the improvement, and there is no upper limit to this improvement. When you take off the title, the accumulated time will not be reset. 】
Lin Li digested the short-term discomfort brought by the increase of blood and qi with a smile on his face. It
was very short. Unlike the previous blood and qi increases, Lin Li felt dizzy for only half a minute before he completely recovered.
Now, Lin Li's blood and qi BUFF has accumulated to an increase of 250%.
Taking off the [Light of the Stream Spirit] worn during the practice, Lin Li wore the new title in the main title position.
If nothing unexpected happens, this title will be permanently in his title position.
And as expected, when the title reward appears, the 'series' task has come to an end, and no new tasks will pop up.
It's also true, after all, the "Eight-stage Body Strengthening Exercise" has been practiced to perfection.
But in fact, Lin Li still has a lot of eight-stage body strengthening exercises to practice - Shanqing Taoist uses this exercise as a basis to complete the content that can make his body strength even better. Anyway,
the habit of getting up early has been formed, so I just need to continue getting up early in the future. Without some forced constraints, I can arrange things more freely.
I went to the driving school again and practiced driving for two hours.
All affairs are over, and it’s time to prepare for the joy that is about to come today.
Lin Li returned home and found a barber shop near his home.
Although it was the weekend, the barber shop was still deserted in the morning. There was only one female customer who was getting her hair done.
"Hello, how much does it cost for a wash and blow-dry without a cut?" Lin Li asked the idle barber, who looked quite young, like an apprentice.
"15." He replied.
"Are there any levels of store managers? I want the best wash and blow-dry. It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher." Lin Li asked again.
"We have shampoo, cut and blow-dry, but no shampoo," the middle-aged man who was doing the woman's hair smiled and nodded, "But it's okay, I'm the store manager, it's still 15 yuan, the apprentice shampoo, but I'll help you blow-dry later."
"Okay, thank you."
"Come to wash and blow-dry early in the morning, do you have a date today?"
When washing hair, the barbers always chat more or less, and they are all very talkative.
Therefore, for many introverted people, they need dumb haircuts more than blind massages.
"Yes." But Lin Li was naturally not one of them, and he smiled and nodded when he heard it.
Today is indeed a day that needs to be taken seriously from the beginning.
"What kind of hair do you want to blow-dry?" The female customer did not need to operate at this stage, so after Lin Li finished washing and sat next to her, the store manager immediately came over.
"I don't know much about this, boss, you can do it, and do it in a way that suits me."
Lin Li said when he heard it.
"That's fine," the boss nodded, twisted Lin Li's head a few times, and then took out a curling iron beside him: "You have a good foundation, you won't look ugly no matter how you do it,
I'll give you a 70% haircut?" Lin Li frowned when he heard it: "Will 70% be too mature? I prefer something tender."
The store manager: "?"
What kind of 70% do you mean.
Seeing that the store manager was stunned, Lin Li smiled and said: "Manager, what I mean is 30% and 70% is fine, just be more natural, don't be too fancy."
"Then I understand, give you some layering?"
"Okay."
...
"It's done, it's about right, there's no deliberate styling, see if you can accept it, if you are satisfied, I'll give you something to style it and call it a day."
The store manager put down the hair dryer, looked at Lin Li in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.
Damn, sometimes hairstyles are still too modeling.
Lin Li tilted his head left and right, then smiled:
"Boss, I'll call more people to your store next time."
"Hehe," the store manager was very happy to hear that, "Okay, I'll give you a discount then-"
Lin Li: "Then you should also call more people, don't say we bully you O(∩_∩)O."
Store manager: "[○｀Д○]!?"
