The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 384 People don't feel pain or fatigue when they're doing bad things [Seeking monthly votes!!]

The boys from Class 4 leaned against the corridor railing, looking at the dim night view.

Of the boys in the back row, only Chen Tianming was missing; even Bai Bufan was still alive.

Actually, Lin Li wasn't that annoyed. They had been holding hands for quite a while, and as everyone's eyes adjusted to the darker light, it wasn't appropriate to do anything else. So, he figured he might as well accept being interrupted.

Lin Li was only reflecting on and regretting one thing: should he have taken advantage of the darkest moment and kissed Chen Yuying right on the face?
Wang Ze had already returned from the senior high school building, but he did nothing—because a teacher was on duty in Qian Ying's class tonight. After seeing the teacher on the phone at the door after coming out of the stairwell, Wang Ze turned back even faster than Lin Li.

As for why Chen Tianming wasn't there, Thursday night was supposed to be a time for competition tutoring, so he went to the multimedia classroom early tonight as usual to reserve a seat in the first row.

The power has been out for quite a while now, and it still hasn't come back on.

Lin Li strongly suspected that Yao Qiaoqiao was also there, otherwise he would have no reason to linger there.

In this dark room, they were all alone together. Hopefully, Yao Qiaoqiao was alright.

Forget it, we're all brothers, I still hope Chen Tianming wins the girl's heart.

"Only our school is experiencing a power outage," Qin Zeyu said, glancing across the elevated walkway to the area outside the school and noticing that the buildings outside were still brightly lit.

"Then there must be a problem with the internal circuitry of our school. I wonder if the senior high school campus has also experienced a power outage." Zhang Haoyang nodded.

"Why is there a power outage? There's no extreme weather today, and it's not summer, so it's impossible for excessive power usage to cause a power outage. Surely someone isn't using the PPT computers in the school's computer lab to mine cryptocurrency?" Qin Zeyu muttered to himself with some curiosity.

"Thanks for the invitation. I was in the hallway, just masturbated. You've come to the right person to ask me, an insider."

At this moment, Lin Li, the knowledgeable guy on Zhihu, straightened his collar, gave a smug laugh, and replied:
"When Wang Ze and I went to the senior high school building, we got inside information from the teachers."

"At the beginning of evening self-study tonight, a sparrow got tangled in the high-voltage power lines on campus. Its cries attracted the attention of several students, who immediately called the Education Bureau. The Education Bureau notified the principal, and in order to save the life, the principal made a decision within half an hour to send a special plane to crash into and break two of the main power lines on campus, causing a power outage for the entire school."

Everyone: "..."

Eh……

you……

"I told you to stop reading 'Yilin' and 'Reader' magazines! You still did! Now look what happened, you've ruined your brain!" Wang Ze delivered a Mamba elbow strike, then spread his hands, looking helpless.

“What are you saying? Yilin and Reader are not as bad as you say,” Lin Li felt it was necessary to set the record straight for these two magazines. “Many of the stories in them are actually true.”

"Take two stories from Japan as examples."

Firstly, the story of an international student demanding dismissal after being caught washing only five plates, which seems absurd, is actually something you may not know. The boss uses a Geiger counter to check the radiation levels. A quick scan reveals that the radiation levels of a plate washed only five times are much higher than those of a plate washed seven times as required.

They required the food to be washed seven times for the sake of all diners, but in the story, our international student only washed it five times. Shouldn't such a callous disregard for human life result in dismissal?

"And why don't you believe that Japanese toilet water is drinkable?"
Didn't the news already show that the drinking water pipes at Osaka University Hospital were mistakenly connected to the toilet water supply for 28 years? Isn't that the best evidence? The hospital said it's safe to drink; if that's not authoritative, what is?!

I think you're just prejudiced against Japan, that's why you think these are all fabricated stories!

This is unusual tonight—a rare sight indeed, with a multitude of figures standing there, looking at the crowd with disdain.

To be honest, everyone says that there are many girls with contrasting personalities, some who seem well-behaved on the surface but are actually quite outgoing in private, and some who seem outgoing on the surface but are even more outgoing in private. But Lin Li thinks there are even more guys with contrasting personalities.

Don't you see, these people talk about fighting the Japanese during the day, but at night they all start fighting the Japanese!

However, this did remind Lin Li that he should go back and deal with the Japanese tonight.

The crowd laughed and joked, unable to refute him, they could only point at Lin Li and laugh and curse.

"Brother Dong, when will the call come back?" Qin Zeyu asked with a smile.

"Rescue workers are currently saving the baby sparrows. The power will be restored once they're done." Lin Li, still channeling his public intellectual persona, exclaimed, "Ah~ a great school can stop for any humble life. As a student of Nansang, I am proud of this!"

"Still proud? Everyone's too scared to even think about it," Bai Bufan scoffed, looking at Lin Li with a laugh. "Lin Li, I remember this story is based on the United States, right? Of course, it's fine for us to reflect on and learn from them in other fields, but I personally don't recommend it in the campus field."

If Southampton were an American-style campus, bro, you'd be completely screwed by now, you know that.

"That's true." Lin Li was quite satisfied with Bai Bufan's thought process. After laughing for a while, he looked at Zhang Haoyang:
"Haoyang, if Baowei ever suddenly tells you, 'Haoyang, don't come to school tomorrow,' you absolutely have to let your buddy know. Don't try to survive alone."

“Indeed.” Bai Bufan understood immediately. “Brother Haoyang, please, you must let me know too. I’ll send you a bottle of Piyanping (a topical anti-inflammatory cream) to stop the itching.”

—In American schools, the students most likely to cause tragedy are those who are "often bullied by classmates and are taciturn." Zhou Baowei, who was "often bullied by classmates and taciturn," almost perfectly met the criteria, making him extremely dangerous.

And the people Bao Wei would most like to shoot at that time are probably Bai Bufan and Lin Li (in no particular order, in order of the number of strokes in their surnames).

Therefore, this kind of protection still needs to be provided.

"Forget it, you still have high hopes for Hao Yang? He'll die too. I won't tell anyone, I'll just shoot them all. None of you will be innocent," Zhou Baowei sneered.

"I, Fan Tianyi, like Zeng Tanya!!"

On the third floor, a boy's sudden shout interrupted everyone's conversation.

Anyone could have shouted, but it could never have been Fan Tianyi.

On the contrary, the voice upstairs saying "Your mother is dead" sounded more like Fan Tianyi.

When Lin Li noticed Bai Bufan's eyes light up out of the corner of his eye, he sneered and instantly reached out to cover the bastard's mouth.

"Um!"

That was close! The phrase "I, Lin Li, like to eat shit" almost spread throughout the entire teaching building.

The teaching building became a bit noisy, with many voices starting to jeer and respond.

"I, Bai Bufan, like to eat shit!"

"Then Chen Tianming and Bai Bufan are rivals in love!"

Chen Tianming and Bai Bufan both expressed no objection.

"I, Wang Ze, like Qian Ying!" Wang Ze suddenly shouted in the opposite direction.

After shouting, it seemed that his courage had disappeared. He immediately moved away from the handrail, leaned against the outer wall of the classroom, and began to take deep breaths.

Lin Libai and the others were taken aback at first, but then they stopped hurting each other and gave Wang Ze a thumbs up, praising him from the bottom of their hearts: "Brother Ze is awesome!"

Taking the opportunity to express his love to the teaching building across the street, Wang Ze, despite his low emotional intelligence, can occasionally come up with a clever idea.

Those who are unaware of the situation might just laugh it off, but logically speaking, they wouldn't think it's Wang Ze himself. Even those who know Qian Ying would at most join in the commotion or mistakenly believe it's just a coincidence of names.

But Qian Ying, who knew that the voice was actually coming from Wang Ze, must have had a very special feeling.

"Lin Li, Wang Ze has already called out, why aren't you?" Qin Zeyu then looked at Lin Li and urged him.

“Shouting is suicide.” Lin Li looked at Qin Zeyu as if he were an idiot.

My situation is different from Wang Ze's. Wang Ze and Qian Ying are in different grades and their social circles rarely overlap. If I were to call out, aside from whether Chen Yuying would feel awkward, what if a teacher familiar with my voice, especially Xue Jian, heard it? Oh no, I'm doomed!
However, you can shout it secretly.

Lin Li was about to return to the classroom to find his girlfriend when he heard a soft click, and the dark school building was suddenly illuminated.

"Ah... why is the phone coming back on..."

There were no surprises, only groans from the boys in the hallway.

It looked like a shouting frenzy was about to break out outside the teaching building, with people even starting to sing, but then the phone rang. What a pity.

Within a minute of the call, the loudspeaker was turned on, and the head of the grade's voice came through:

"Attention all teachers and students: Due to a sudden circuit failure on campus, there was a temporary power outage throughout the campus. The fault has now been resolved and power supply has been restored."

In any emergency, remain calm, follow the teacher's instructions, and do not leave the area or make noise.

All students are requested to return to their respective classrooms immediately, remain quiet, and resume evening self-study in an orderly manner. Class teachers are requested to check the number of students in their classes to ensure that no students remain in public areas such as corridors or restrooms.

This is to inform you.

Upon hearing that Xue Jian was coming again, the previously restless crowd instantly became quiet.

Lin Li's gaze, however, turned to his own system.

The sect's Yuanming Grand Array was breached by demons who entered it with their own bodies, sacrificing their lives to break through it. This plunged the sect into darkness, causing panic among the disciples and a frenzy among the demons. Although the sect made every effort to repair it in time, the pain of being swallowed by darkness should serve as a profound warning.

Since you have some knowledge of formations, why not report this to your sect and do your utmost to protect the lineage, so that this perilous situation can never be repeated!

[Mission triggered!]

[Task Two: Persuade the Nansang Sect to repair the sect's main array and its derivative protective arrays to prevent a recurrence of today's events, and participate in the process.]

[Task Rewards: Physical Improvement: Formation Talent increased by 50%; Random Complete Formation *1; Specified Formation Material (Medium Grade) *5; System Currency *100]

【Specified Formation Material (Mid-grade): Upon use, you will receive one specified formation material (List of specified formation materials: Low-grade spirit stones (3), Mid-grade spirit stones (3), Low-grade formation cores of all types (1), Mid-grade formation cores of all types (1)...)】

Electricity is a crucial power source. This school incident serves as a wake-up call; we must learn more methods to avoid being caught off guard in similar situations in the future!

[Mission triggered!]

[Task 5: Master at least one unconventional method of energy acquisition.]

[Mission Rewards: Physical Improvement: Mech Synchronization Index +10; Random Ability *1; System Currency *50]

[Task 5 Completed.] [You have received the following improvements: Mech Synchronization Index +10; Random Ability *1; System Currency *50]

You have been awarded the talent: "Suona" (a traditional Chinese wind instrument).

As the broadcast ended, a series of notifications popped up, and a flood of knowledge entered my mind.

Completed? It was instantly defeated the moment it appeared?

Is Task Five just sitting here entertaining itself?

However, after carefully reading the contents, Lin Li realized that it must be the "Pure and Righteous Thunder Control Technique" that had been activated. This method in the cultivation world was definitely unconventional.

It's great, free rewards and talent. This talent is quite useful. Even if they die, Bufanbao can hire him to play the suona. It's a friend's price; Lin Li only needs to pay half the price of his companions.

After reveling in his unexpected windfall, Lin Li turned his attention to the second task that he needed to complete.

Based on the mission details, Lin Li estimated that the power outage was caused by insects.

The phrase "entering the game with one's own body and risking one's life to break through" in the mission introduction likely refers to the insects crawling into electrical equipment such as power distribution cabinets and transformers, electrocuting themselves and causing a short circuit.

As for the requirements of the task, they are quite easy to understand: to urge schools to repair these electrical devices and participate in the process.

As for what "repair" specifically refers to, Lin Li believes it is definitely not a major project like redesigning circuit diagrams and wiring configurations, but rather refurbishing and repairing the equipment to make it difficult for insects to enter.

The rewards for the task are pretty good.

The "Gathering Spirit Heavenly Array" is of great benefit to Lin Li's cultivation. If another array of this quality can be opened this time, the benefits will be worth looking forward to.

But the reward that Lin Li was more looking forward to, and which had a lower limit, was the array materials.

Unlike the random reward last time, this time the reward is five specific items. The list of items that can be specified is very long, and you can't see the end of it at a glance.

The vast majority of the names were unfamiliar to Lin Li. The reason he recognized the remaining few was because Shan Qing Dao Ren had compiled some 'teaching materials' for him, and he had read and learned a little from them.

It should be a list of all materials of medium grade and below in the cultivation world.

The reason Lin Li couldn't even create the most basic formation in reality was because he lacked the materials.

With this reward, I should be able to choose one or two formations that I need and replicate them in reality.

The reward is "one" item of the same type. Regardless of whether you choose medium-quality or low-quality materials, the quantity will be the same.

For example, both "low-grade spirit stones" and "mid-grade spirit stones" come in sets of three; there is no situation where a set of "low-grade spirit stones" contains more than three.

Therefore, the most cost-effective way to use this item is to only exchange it for medium-grade materials.

However, it's a bit early to think about these things now, so Lin Li started to think about how to complete the task.

It’s not difficult.

Lin Li quickly came up with a feasible plan, but it was definitely too late to arrange it this week; next week would be better.

"Lin Li, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed." Chen Yuying's voice interrupted her thoughts.

“I miss your hands, they’re so white, so soft, so small,” Lin Li replied immediately.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuying gently punched Lin Li with her soft, white hands and gave him a reproachful look: "Let's go, we're already late."

Due to the power outage, the time has indeed exceeded the usual start time for tutoring.

Chen Tianming hasn't returned yet, which means the tutoring session wasn't canceled tonight.

It's time to go.

"They're here." So Lin Li got up and followed Chen Yuying out.

But Lin Li's figure disappeared through the back door not long before he quickly ran back, his face showing an expression of barely suppressed laughter.

Lin Lixian approached Zhou Baowei and Qin Zeyu and whispered something to them.

The next second, the two looked up at Wang Ze in the front row, and smiles spread across their faces.

Good things are meant to be shared, Lin Li then looked at Bai Bufan.

Bai Bufan, who had been waiting for a long time after hearing the commotion, was now looking on with anticipation.

Remember, while others may say no to bad temptations, Bai Bufan will only say no!
Seeing Lin Li's expression and Zhou and Qin's reactions, Bu Fan knew that something funny was going to happen, and a lot of funny at that!
Lin Li did not disappoint Bu Fan's expectations. He leaned closer and said, "Quick, quick, Bu Fan, sneak up to Wang Ze and see what he's doing! Holy crap!! He's really doing it!"

Bai Bufan's eyes lit up, and he nodded. Afraid of missing out, he quickly got up, but in order not to alert the enemy, he suppressed his excitement and proceeded cautiously.

near.

"Holy crap? Bufan? What are you doing? Why did you suddenly come here?"

Feeling someone was watching him from behind, Wang Ze turned around and was startled to see that there really was a white unicorn.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that he had been discovered, Bai Bufan stopped pretending and went straight up to push Wang Ze against the podium, questioning him while starting to rummage through Wang Ze's drawer.

"Huh? What? I didn't do anything, I was just spacing out!" Wang Ze didn't react, nor did he stop Bai Bufan. He just asked, somewhat confused, "Bufan, what are you looking for?"

"To have some fun."

"Huh? What kind of fun are you looking for?"

"Your job is a joke!"

"Huh?? What fun is this? How come I didn't know?"

"Don't give me that," Bai Bufan scoffed, continuing to rummage through the drawers, his words brimming with certainty: "Knowing Lin Li as I do, his expression just now didn't seem like an act; he must have found some amazing fun! Wang Ze, you can't hide it!"

A tap was placed on his shoulder, and Wang Ze's somewhat embarrassed voice came: "Bufan, why don't you get up first?"

"I won't get up! Unless you confess!"

Wang Ze was still being patted on the shoulder, and he was even more helpless: "I really can't confess... Get up first..."

"Stop filming, Wang Ze! I'm not getting up unless I'm having some fun!"

Wang Ze's voice trembled slightly: "But, I didn't take those pictures."

Bai Bufan: "Then who else could it be sent to?"

Xue Jian: "I'll send it to you, Xue Jian."

Bai Bufan: "(；☉_☉)?"

Upon hearing this conversation, Wang Ze, unable to contain himself any longer, silently turned his head toward the podium and began banging his head against the podium table—using the pain to help his already strong face, so that he wouldn't actually burst out laughing.

The fun that Lin Li mentioned, although Bai Bufan hasn't found yet, Wang Ze feels... he has found it.

At this moment, Bai Bufan was still bent over and rummaging through the drawers.

However, the movement has stopped.

A full second after that somewhat familiar conversation ended, he slowly straightened his upper body, slowly turned his head, met Xue Jian's expressionless gaze, and then slowly, slowly, slowly revealed a sinister smile:

"Hello, teacher..."

"It's evening self-study time now, what are you doing in the front row?" Xue Jian said expressionlessly.

"Lend me, lend me a pen." Bai Bufan snatched the pen from Wang Ze's hand and laughed awkwardly.

"Go back to your seat. I'll have your parents buy you a few more pens tomorrow." Borrowing pens from the last row to the first row, is that it? How could he say something like that? Xue Jian sneered.

"Thank you, teacher."

Bai Bufan, his face stiff, returned to the last row.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye at Zhou Baowei and Qin Zeyu, who were laughing so hard they were convulsing, their hands gripping the tables and chairs so tightly they were turning white in an attempt to keep quiet.

Bai Bufan gave a miserable laugh, then gritted his teeth and said, "Baowei, come here, you son of a bitch, tell me what Lin Li just said to you two."

Zhou Baowei's expression was distorted by laughter, but he betrayed Lin Li without the slightest hesitation:
Lin Li just said—

"Baowei, Zeyu, quick, cooperate with me! Look up at Wang Ze, then immediately smile. Don't ask why, just laugh like crazy! I definitely won't treat you unfairly! Hurry!"

Bai Bufan: "(へ╬)!!!"

Comparing the two, Bai Bufan indeed realized that their previous smiles didn't seem so genuine!
Smiles are contagious, so Bai Bufan smiled too.

However, Bai Bufan's smile was so intense that his lips twitched and veins bulged.

He gradually understood—

Once upon a time, there was a boy who went out and saw his homeroom teacher walking towards the classroom. He had a plan in mind, so he deliberately left his girlfriend and ran back to lure his deskmate away from his seat so that he could have a game of "Ace vs. Ace" with Xue Jian.

Haha, what an interesting story.

Mouth! Close! Mouth! Close!
