The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 433 If you've gone through military training, you're at least a military dog.
"Zhang Haoyang; @All members, the Palus are so cute, I can't bear to make them work. Is there a mod that can replace them with black people?"

Wang Ze: Awesome.

Yang Bangjie: "Erotic Images"

Qin Zeyu: Why are you suddenly playing this game this weekend? Did they update it?

Zhang Haoyang: No, I didn't have the money to buy one when it was popular before. My sister gave me one this weekend because it was on sale.

Bai Bufan: Is your sister so good to you? Is she pretty? Can I be your brother-in-law?

Yang Bangjie: "A Collection of Erotic Images"

Zhang Haoyang: It's just my sister's responsibility. Bufan, which sister do you want? My eldest sister is Zhang Zhaodi, my second sister is Zhang Laidi, and my third sister is Zhang Pandi.

Bai Bufan: Then your family is very feudal, I'm not going to be one anymore.

Yang Bangjie: Does my sister have this kind of responsibility?

Yang Bangjie: Then why do I have to take care of my sister when she's younger than me?

Lin Li: You call that a girl? The responsibility is entirely yours.

Zhang Haoyang: A little sister would be great too! Best of all! I've always dreamed of having a two-dimensional little sister!

Yang Bangjie: What's so good about it? My sister is a boy, she's not cute at all, she's so annoying every day.

Lin Li: You call that a brother?

Wang Ze: How old is your brother?

"Yang Bangjie: Eighteen centimeters."

"Yang Bangjie was banned from speaking by Wang Ze for one day."

"Qin Zeyu: I feel like this ban has been going on for too long. Without Bangjie's comments in the group, I feel a bit empty."

Wang Ze: "Erotic Images"

Qin Zeyu: Good for my brother "NICE", I've disliked him for a long time.

"Chen Tianming: @Lin Li, Dad, stop flooding the group chat, it's the first question on the third page of the test paper."

Lin Li: 1

Lin Li, who was in a toilet stall, put his phone back in his pocket after seeing the message.

He unfolded the exam paper he had been holding between his fingers, glanced at the questions, and his thoughts instantly became clear. He tapped on the screen with his fingertips, sending his ideas to Chen Tianming.

It's Saturday, and it's almost noon. Sunlight streams obliquely through the high windows, bringing brightness overhead.

Lin Li is currently in the restroom of the Nan Sang Library.

This morning, Lin Li came to the library with Chen Tianming and Yao Qiaoqiao.

It wasn't exactly together, since Lin Li "accidentally" arrived an hour and a half late.

As for Chen Yuying, she simply didn't come. Since she wasn't going to be alone anyway and they would meet in the afternoon, she might as well take a good nap and put on some makeup.

When Lin Li arrived, he continued to act as a wingman. In the limited time he had in the morning, he would either go to the toilet, answer a phone call, or go out for something. He was always busy and had a lot to do.

Most of the questions were asked secretly by Chen Tianming on his phone, and Lin Li answered secretly on his phone. Then Chen Tianming would teach Yao Qiaoqiao. Only for the really difficult questions would Lin Li return to their side and explain them personally.

I glanced at the time; it was lunchtime, the perfect time to slip away.

I have done my utmost in terms of kindness and righteousness.

Back in the study room, Lin Li lifted his backpack and gestured with his chin towards the pair of simps (male and female) who were looking up at him:
"I'm a little hungry, so I'll go home for lunch first. I have something to do this afternoon, so you guys can continue studying. If you have any questions, have Tianming contact me by phone, and I'll answer them as soon as I see them."

"Are you leaving already?" Yao Qiaoqiao nodded belatedly after a moment of surprise, then asked, "Aren't we going to have lunch together?"

"No, my mom has already prepared the meal at home, and she's just waiting for me to come back and add it to the bill. Bye-bye, see you at school tomorrow if we're lucky."

Unwilling to be a third wheel, Lin waved casually and turned to leave the study room.

"Click."

The door was pushed open heavily, then closed gently.

Only Yao Qiaoqiao and Chen Tianming remained in the study room.

Not wanting the silence to last too long, Chen Tianming hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking Yao Qiaoqiao, "If it's just the two of us... what are we going to eat for lunch? Are we going to come to the library to study this afternoon?"

Chen Tianming was still a little worried. After Lin Li, the top student in the grade, left, Yao Qiaoqiao no longer wanted to stay in the library.

Although Lin Li is uglier than me, he is definitely smarter.

Well, I realize that my assessment was indeed biased.

"They're evenly matched," Chen Tianming thought, believing his assessment to be quite objective.

“Let’s go eat at that noodle shop again. It’s fine if Lin Li doesn’t come; the two of us are fine too,” Yao Qiaoqiao said naturally, turning her head with clear eyes.
"As for the afternoon, if you still plan to study, then go ahead. I'll definitely follow along. Even if we go back to the dorm, we'll just study some competition material. With you there, you can also ask Lin Li for me. So it's up to you."

It's so cool.

Wuhu.

Hearing Yao Qiaoqiao's words, Chen Tianming felt like his tail had turned into a fan, otherwise there would be no reason why he felt so comfortable and refreshed all over.

Every time they had a late-night talk in the dorm, Bai Bufan, Zhou Baowei, Qin Zeyu, and their roommates would try to persuade them, but what was there to persuade them of?

Don't you know what you're doing?
They simply don't understand the joy of being a simp. The person being simp can't predict whether they will continue to be simped, which makes them feel insecure. They will collapse if they lose it. But it's completely different for the simp. Whether they simp or not is entirely up to them.

If I feel like licking a bone today, I'll just do it. If I'm in a bad mood, I'll hold back and not lick it for now. It gives me a sense of accomplishment in having my tongue toy with this little thing.

Being a simp is a great profession for relieving pain and entertaining the mind!
Besides, I might not even be a simp.

Why is Qiaoqiao hanging herself up?
She's keeping him hanging on because she has feelings for him; otherwise, why wouldn't she keep other people hanging on?

It's a two-way street!

……

in the afternoon.

The church is four kilometers away from the school as the crow flies, so there's no need for Bai Bufan and Qiuqiu to walk there. Therefore, Lin Li should meet them at the school first and then take a taxi there.

At three o'clock, Lin Li arrived at the school gate.

There's no need to go too early. It's not a cathedral, and even if there are events, they'll just seem novel. One or two hours is enough to explore it. The five of us don't plan to spend the rest of the day at the church.

The plan for the evening is to check out the Christmas decorations in the mall, then watch a movie before leaving.

Qu Wanqiu had developed the bad habit of carrying her cell phone, but she was much more honest than Bai Bufan. She would hand it to Xue Jian every week as soon as possible, so Lin Li didn't go into the school. Instead, he sent a message from the school gate asking the two of them to come out.

"Sigh." Bai Bufan arrived first and sighed deeply upon seeing him, his face full of melancholy.

Lin Li glanced at him sideways and nodded in a gesture of "please begin your performance": "Hmm, what's with the sigh?"

"Some streamers' attitudes towards their longtime fans are truly disheartening." Bai Bufan finally got his chance to speak, and immediately shook his head in anguish.

"Which streamer?" Lin Li asked, gesturing with his chin.

He suspects it's a food blogger who may have created the "old fan ice cream".

But Lin Li was wrong this time, because Bai Bufan's answer was something no human could guess: "British Embassy in China".

Lin Li: "?"

“I just messaged him saying, ‘I’ve been following you for 200 years, can you give me a colony? I’m still a student.’ He just typed a question mark at me and told me to get lost, without giving me a single colony.”

"Sigh, I feel like all my sincerity has been wasted." Bai Bufan was even more indignant.

"That's good. At least it's not going to fall into the family, and you've won it back." Lin Li patted Bai Bufan on the shoulder, comforting him.

"You fucking bastard."

The two chased and played around at the school gate for a short while before Qu Wanqiu arrived at the school gate as well.

"Chiu Chiu, go to the group chat and tell them if they've left yet. I'll call a taxi," Lin Li instructed.

"it is good."

"Lin Li, I'll take a taxi. I have a coupon, but remember to give me the money for the coupon later." Bai Bufan had a different opinion.

"Then you're very good at managing your life," Lin Li said, giving a thumbs up in approval. "Whoever marries you will definitely be rich."

Then, Lin Li spread his hands, looking slightly confident and smug:
"I'm sorry to have troubled you with these things, but don't worry, everything will change tomorrow. When I get my driver's license, the whole of Nansang will tremble, and the world will be completely transformed!"

Bai Bufan nodded: "Speaking of the 'Nan Sang 12.22 car accident case,' although the deceased was only Lin, and his status was merely that of an ordinary citizen, its impact was enormous, shaking the entire government and the public! From the Nan Sang County Magistrate to the Xi Ling Township Mayor, all were dismissed and investigated! The perpetrator was even sentenced to death and repeatedly executed!"

"The world was shocked. How could the death of an ordinary citizen have such a drastic consequence? Deducting five points from one's reputation in the game would be more appropriate! However, upon digging deeper into the truth behind it, a horrifying reason surfaced!"

"It turns out that this Lin fellow had a classmate who was actually a hidden dragon king in the city! It was this Bai dragon king who, in his rage, gave an order that caused 100,000 soldiers who had been lying in wait in the factory to refuse to tighten screws, thus attracting the attention of the heavens and causing this monstrous case!"

"You can be the Dragon King, but can you at least not kill me?" Lin Li said with a smile, giving Bai Bufan an elbow strike.

"But to be honest, Lin Li, even if you have a driver's license, it's not very useful, is it? Your mom isn't home most of the time, and you don't have a car. Renting a car would cost a hundred or two a day, which is more expensive than taking a taxi." Bai Bufan rubbed the spot where he had been elbowed and asked with a smile.

"I have a job, and if things go well, the earnings will be enough for me to buy a car," Lin Li said in a low voice, sounding somewhat mysterious.

"Are you also exchanging your smelly place for fragrant money?" Bai Bufan lowered his voice as well. "Then we can exchange ideas and promote each other's clients." If all goes well, Bai Bufan only needs to give Wang Ze's WeChat ID, and then he can get Wang Ze's WeChat ID in return.

“Hey, I’ve already left this industry and gone straight. The past is gone, no need to bring it up again,” Lin Li said, frowning.

"So what kind of work do you do?"

Lin Li: "I tried to persuade my mother."

Bai Bufan: "oO?"

Wow, if this job goes smoothly, the earnings will really be enough for Lin Li to buy a car.

Although he knew Lin Li was probably joking, that didn't stop Bai Bufan from cheerfully continuing the conversation: "First, I wish you success at work. Second, what kind of car are you planning to buy?"

Bai Bufan had a flash of inspiration and answered his own question: "Lin Li, I think you can have ideals. Perfect, let's be ambitious young people who take flight on New Year's Eve together!"

"Let's forget about ideals. I'm afraid that if the 100-ton truck crashes into someone's car, I won't be able to afford to pay for it." Lin Li felt it was inappropriate and waved his hand to refuse.

Seeing Lin Li's disdain, Bai Bufan stopped trying to persuade him: "Alright, then we can consider other brands..."

To be fair, if we use a 100-point scale for evaluation, the Li Auto car would score around 90, which is really not low.

"Don't buy Xiaomi."

Meanwhile, Qu Wanqiu, who had been quietly listening to Lin Li and Bai Bufan's conversation, suddenly joined in.

"Oh?" Lin Li and Bai Bufan looked at Qu Wanqiu curiously upon hearing this. "Chuchu, you really know a lot about cars?"

They actually knew absolutely nothing about cars; their knowledge was limited to knowing a few brands, and they were completely clueless about specifications and performance.

“I don’t understand either,” Qu Wanqiu shook her head, “but I’m an Apple user, so I feel embarrassed not to ride in an Android car.”

So, Lin Li, if you really want to buy a car, don't buy a Xiaomi. Otherwise, when you drive us out for fun, I'll have to take a taxi, which will be a hassle.

Lin Li: "(；☉o☉)!"

Is it an Android car?

Lin Li first looked at Bai Bufan, whose expression was similar to his own, and then the two of them looked at Qu Wanqiu, who was still very serious.

After a brief silence, all three burst into loud laughter.

Sadly, Qu Wanqiu is gradually becoming less human!

Bai Bufan's taxi arrived just in time, with Qu Wanqiu still sitting in the passenger seat, and the three of them got in the car.

"Sir, what are your thoughts on Android cars?"

Hearing the questions from the passengers, the driver's hand on the steering wheel trembled.

"Android car? What is an Android car?"

Hmm, I shouldn't have asked.

Five minutes later, the driver truly understood what it meant to have money hard to earn and shit easy to eat.

……

Arrive at the exterior of the Creek Church, which stands in the afternoon sunlight.

Although the official Christmas holiday falls on a Wednesday, the church has been decorated in preparation for the holiday.

Beneath the Gothic spire, a huge emerald green Christmas wreath hangs on the heavy door, with bright red ribbons swaying on it, and the air seems to be filled with the fragrance of pine needles.

Christmas is naturally indispensable, but the main entrance of the church faces the road, so it would be inconvenient to place the Christmas tree outside the main entrance. Therefore, it is not visible at the moment and must have been placed elsewhere.

"Do you think hospitals don't even need to buy Christmas trees? They can just randomly select lucky patients in a vegetative state and start decorating the Christmas tree?"

"Say such cruel things, be careful that the person in a vegetative state might be so frightened that their plasmolysis breaks down," Lin Li said, frowning.

"I see Yuying!" Qu Wanqiu rolled down the car window and waved excitedly as the car waited to turn at the intersection: "Yuying—!"

Lin Li's gaze followed.

Chen Yuying stood quietly in front of the church steps, still wearing a loose, long, pure brown winter coat, with ankle boots and off-white slouch socks under her skirt.

A pure white beret was worn at an angle on her chestnut-colored long hair in the sunlight, and her earlobes were adorned with snow crystal studs, probably as an embellishment to match today's Christmas.

Hearing Qu Wanqiu's call, Chen Yuying turned around, waved back, and smiled sweetly.

"Aren't you cold dressed like that?" After getting out of the car, Lin Li quickly stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"I'm not cold." Seeing Lin Li about to take off his coat and drape it over her like in a Korean drama, Chen Yuying immediately shook her head firmly, her eyes filled with a smile.

"Great! Can I borrow your coat? I'm cold."

Lin Li's movements were smooth and effortless; he smoothly pulled on Chen Yuying's coat, attempting to take it off.

Chen Yuying slapped his hand away and gave him a pretty eye roll that was both reproachful and amusing.

"So heartless?" Lin Li's eyes were filled with sorrow. "My heart has been shattered into QR codes."

"What will it scan and reveal?" Chen Yuying tilted her head and asked softly.

"I still miss you so much."

"Ugh—" Bai Bufan and Qu Wanqiu pretended to vomit, their faces full of disgust.

"What about Ding Zi? How much longer does she have?" Lin Li didn't care about their disdain. He smiled and asked in the group chat while taking out his phone.

"We're almost there, what's with the rush?!"

Damn, this is really discriminatory.

When Qu Wanqiu and even Bai Bufan asked in the group, Ding Ding answered politely and apologetically. But when it was her turn to ask, Ding Ding immediately took advantage of her and sent this very unpleasant voice message.

Tolerable or unbearable?
Being idle is also idle.

Lin Li sneered and started sending voice messages as well:

“Ding Sihan, although we honest people don’t cause trouble, we are also afraid of trouble. Don’t challenge my bottom line again, or I will change it again. I usually don’t get angry, not because I am magnanimous, but because I am a bit cowardly. I can endure it again and again, but if you continue to provoke me, then I’m doomed.”

You think I'll let you get away with what you did to me? Yes, I will let you get away with it, so what?

"I feel like you're the kind of person who can turn Red Dead Redemption into a pathetic mess, and Arthur into a hapless character." After hearing this, Bai Bufan couldn't help but give Lin Li a thumbs up in praise.

However, Ding Sihan's "immediately" was truly "immediate"; in less than a minute, she was seen getting out of the parked ride-hailing car.

She looks quite nice in her clothes.

Specifically, it's equivalent to the essay section of a Chinese language reference answer: (omitted).

"Here they come, here they come!" Ding Sihan came running over in a flurry. After stopping, she winked and gave Lin Li and Chen Yuying a teasing look: "Didn't you two buy matching outfits? Why aren't you wearing them?"

Chen Yuying was still a little shy, but Lin Li was very natural and said in a nonchalant tone, "I don't wear this every day at school. I'm tired of it. What would I wear when I come out to play?"

Bai Bufan: "That's what you call a school uniform."

We really can't let Lin Li and Chen Tianming play around like this anymore. Chen Tianming keeps calling this his and Qiaoqiao's matching outfits.

wrong.

It's probably to prevent Chen Tianming and Lin Li from playing too much; priorities should be clearly distinguished.

“Exactly, I don’t agree with that reason,” Ding Sihan nodded. “Yingbao sent me pictures of the clothes, and I think they’re really nice, so why don’t I wear them?”

"Dingzi, Dingzi, it's all because of your teasing mouth that some people are too embarrassed to wear it. You've caused me so much trouble," Lin Li sighed.

"Really?" Ding Sihan paused upon hearing this, then covered her mouth. "Then I won't tease you anymore, Yuying—"

"It's fake. Didn't you say you have a relative who volunteers at the church here? To prevent the news from getting back to her father through some roundabout way, and also because the debut of the matching outfits should be somewhat meaningful, let's talk about it later."

Seeing that Ding Sihan actually felt a little guilty, whether she was faking it or not, Lin Li smiled and explained.

"Oh, I see," Ding Sihan said, feeling completely relieved. She said casually, "My aunt doesn't know Yuying's father, so how could she possibly pass it on?"

“Nip problems before they happen.”

“Okay,” Ding Sihan nodded, but her curiosity was piqued again, “So when is a meaningful day? I can become your personal photographer.”

The five people walked into the church talking as they went. Lin Li and Bai Bufan walked in front, and Lin Li casually replied, "There are many, New Year's Day, anniversaries, the seventh day after death..."

The three of them stopped in unison when they heard "seventh day after death".

"The seventh day?"

"Are you guys thinking the wrong thing?" Hearing the question behind him, Lin Li turned around and frowned.
"The first seven days after a couple's marriage refers to the first time they celebrate Qixi Festival together after becoming a couple. That's how most people would understand it, right?"

Bai Bufan calmly chimed in, "That's right, what else? Similarly, I'm also looking forward to my deskmate's seventh day memorial service."

Lin Li: "?"

"Bai Bufan! I've really got you under my control!"

The girls fell silent as they watched the two "normal people" who had started fighting.

...What's wrong with this?
