The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 448 I've never felt happy playing in a band
Lin Li believes that it is impolite to ask someone for a ton of juice after knowing them for only an hour.

Is the unit of measurement for the young man's juice demand tons? This makes even the salt from Zhu Ning seem unappetizing.

Upon hearing the other party's request, Lin Li couldn't even muster any anger. He could only offer a helpless smile and gently ask Zhu Ning, "Miss Zhu, may I ask, what exactly do you take me for?"

Zhu Ning: "My savior!"

Lin Li: "..."

Did not see it.

"Miss Zhu, do you even know what a ton means? You want me to give you a ton of your 'young man's juice'? That's like asking me to die," Lin Li explained helplessly.

Theoretically speaking, a man's ejaculation is only a few milliliters at a time. The amount depicted in anime is practically nonexistent in reality. If one neither abstains from sex nor indulges excessively, and maintains a normal frequency, the total weight of ejaculation over a lifetime would probably only be a few tens of kilograms.

One ton... Zhu Ning didn't need to be so roundabout if he wanted to kill him.

But considering that Zhu Ning was able to cite this number, it's clear that she had no knowledge of it whatsoever.

It can only be said that there are huge misunderstandings in some aspects of knowledge.

The establishment of a women's-only physiology class is urgently needed.

Helpless, seeing Zhu Ning slumped into a ball, stunned by what he heard, Lin Li could only continue giving her a lesson in physiology:
"Miss Zhu, that number is impossible. In reality, the number of human males..."

After listening attentively to Lin Li's explanation, Zhu Ning realized she had made a huge blunder, and her face turned slightly green.

"I'm sorry... I heard there are tens of millions of these things, and I thought there were many..."

“It’s tens of millions, but it’s different from what you understand,” Lin Li waved his hand. “Don’t blame yourself. Now you know the truth.”

After a moment's hesitation, before Zhu Ning could speak again, Lin Li took the initiative to say:

"In this case, using this frequently in a short period of time can easily damage the body, and the reserves are also limited. Although I have a slightly better foundation in this area, it's only slightly better. I will provide it to you based on the situation."

Don't worry, I'll do my best and won't be perfunctory.

Task 5 is described as "striving to meet the requirements," and the word "striving" is actually quite forgiving, because Lin Li had previously seen more powerful keywords such as "doing his best."

Similarly, if a task requires him to "do his best," Lin Li will still give up on the task.

No need.

This is a sacred thing. The important thing is to enjoy the beautiful process, not to focus on the result. Desecrating the process will be despised by even the most discerning spirit.

So even though there's no need to cut anymore, Lin Li will still proceed at his own pace. Whether he can complete the task depends on whether the system is sensible.

"Mr. Lin Li, please don't say that. It's already very kind of you to be willing to give it. It wouldn't hurt you anyway, would it? Then please don't hurt yourself—"

Zhu Ning quickly explained her thoughts.

"Yes, I will take it in moderation." Lin Li nodded.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ning was momentarily at a loss and asked:

"So... do I need to avoid this topic now?"

“No need,” Lin Li paused upon hearing this, then smiled, “because I don’t plan to produce it while I’m still in this world.”

It's not that he lacks spellcasting materials; Lin Li's phone's level-two photo album also contains some carefully selected static and dynamic materials—why put them at level two? If Chen Yuying were to glance at the album on a whim, although she wouldn't say anything, Lin Li would inevitably feel embarrassed.

Although we have the materials, the current environment is really terrible.

Doing so in this environment is contrary to the rites of Zhou and represents a breakdown of the rites and music.

Piety that is not absolute is absolutely not piety.

Of course, there was no need to tell Zhu Ning these things; Lin Li offered a more respectable explanation:
"Miss Zhu, to be honest, it seems you're focusing on the wrong thing right now."

"Leaving aside the question of whether preserving the juice after I produce it will be a problem, the more important issue you need to consider right now is how to get back into your alliance."

"I also wanted to leave this place, but based on my own exploration and attempts, the Silent Canyon is much higher than 100 meters, and there is no passage at the bottom."

The presence of so many mech wreckage and the corpses of your kind here proves that getting back up after the crash is probably not easy.

So I gave up, but I can give up because I can always go back to my world. But what about you?

If you can't go back, what good would it do if I gave you a ton of juice?

You can't take it back; it'll just rot here, which is pointless. In the short term, you might be able to survive by having me bring you the survival supplies you need, but when I can no longer come to this world, you might not even be able to survive.

Or have you already found a way to leave, or are you certain that your alliance will send someone to rescue you?

Lin Li's eyes were filled with expectation.

After all, if he could leave, Lin Li would definitely want to see the world.

Upon hearing this, the features on Zhu Ning's translucent head froze for a moment, and then her entire gelatinous body seemed to dim slightly:

"...You are right."

The excitement generated by the young man's drink quickly cooled down:
"...So many things happened in such a short period of time that my mind couldn't keep up, and I even forgot the most important thing."

"Silent Canyon"... The silence field. We still haven't found a suitable way to deal with it. The height difference of thousands of meters and the special rock wall structure make climbing hopeless...

"Therefore, the default outcome for someone who falls into this place is death—in fact, without your elixir, I would have died anyway after being subjected to the impact and the silencing field. Rescue is unrealistic and unlikely."

Zhu Ning's words were heavy.

Indeed, I completely misunderstood the priorities and key points.

A brief silence then enveloped the two of them.

Lin Li had nothing to say. So the canyon was a full kilometer deep? That was indeed a bit beyond Lin Li's capabilities.

Should I buy a hot air balloon in real life?

It can fit in the gourd, but the procedures might be quite troublesome.

Moreover, at altitudes of over a thousand meters, it is difficult to guarantee that no errors will occur during flight.

"Let's focus on staying alive first," Lin Li could only say.

"After you tell me the details of this canyon, I'll figure out how to leave. But you can't die before that, so tell me first whether food and water are important to you, and if so, what kind you need..."

Zhu Ning looked up upon hearing this, but her gaze first fell on the phone Lin Li was holding.

A barely perceptible ripple appeared on the surface of her body, as if she were trembling.

“Mr. Lin Li…” Zhu Ning began, but not about the food; instead, she asked hesitantly with curiosity:
"You just mentioned that 'based on my exploration and attempts,' I also detected an altitude greater than one hundred meters. Did you use the actual equipment you brought with you to conduct this detection?"

"Yes," Lin Li thought for a moment, and the small drone was immediately taken out of the "Fire-Nourishing Sword Gourd" and landed steadily on the waterproof cloth:
"I flew to a height of over 100 meters, but unfortunately there was still endless thick fog and rock walls above, and I couldn't see the edge of the canyon."

Zhu Ning's attention immediately focused on the drone.

"Could you... demonstrate it?"

"can."

Lin Li readily agreed and, in front of Zhu Ning, gave a simple demonstration of how to operate the drone, even letting Zhu Ning try it out herself.

"Without the network, real-time image transmission is impossible; otherwise, it would be even more convenient."

When the drone disappeared into the thick fog and then returned, the two reviewed the footage recorded by the mounted camera, Lin Li added.

Zhu Ning played with it in her hand for a moment, then looked up at Lin Li and said, "Mr. Lin Li, I have a presumptuous request."

Lin Li: "You knew it was presumptuous of you, yet you still brought it up?"

Zhu Ning: "..."

Seeing Zhu Ning's stunned expression, Lin Li smiled and asked, "Does this have anything to do with my little guy's juice?"

"...It has nothing to do with it."

"Alright, then it won't be presumptuous of you. Go ahead and ask."

Lin Li's words had thrown Zhu Ning into a state of disarray, but she quickly refocused on the matter at hand, pointing at the drone and saying:

"May I take this 'drone' apart and take a look? I'd like to study its internal structure."

Lin Li raised an eyebrow slightly, but then nodded: "Okay."

It's only a few thousand yuan, I can afford to lose it.

"Thank you!"

After receiving permission, Zhu Ning studied the screws on the drone. Her "hand" gradually adjusted its shape until it became a screwdriver that perfectly matched the screw threads, and she began to disassemble the screws.

Lin Li, who had just taken the hardware toolbox out of the "Fire-Nourishing Sword Gourd", was somewhat surprised to see this scene.

"Zhu Ning, can the bodies of people in your world transform into any shape, and also possess rigidity?"

If the screwdriver that Zhu Ning's body just transformed into were limp, it would be impossible for it to unscrew the screws.

"We can perform arbitrary deformations to a limited extent,"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ning stopped what she was doing and explained to Lin Li:

"For example, the whole thing can be transformed into a cube, a cuboid... but if we want to stretch it purely in one direction into a narrow cylinder several meters long, we cannot stretch it to that extent; it exceeds the limit."

"Although we look like a lump of soft material, we actually have the concept of limbs and a head, and these five limb areas are the areas where we can deform the most freely."

Zhu Ning brandished the screwdriver:

"But deformation comes at a price. Deformation consumes our nutrients, roughly equivalent to physical strength. The higher the precision and the more details, the faster the physical strength is consumed. Usually, in order to conserve physical strength to the maximum extent, everyone is limp and exhausted."

The reason I maintain a human form similar to yours is so that you can feel more comfortable with it, and the elixir within me is also providing me with inexhaustible nutrition and physical strength.

But no matter how much nutrition I have, I can't transform like you. For example, your hair is something my body simply can't support to undergo such a delicate transformation.

As for hardness, we can indeed produce a certain amount of hardness, but it's actually quite limited and cannot last…

Lin Li suddenly understood.

I originally thought Zhu Ning and the others could transform at will like Ditto, but now it seems they can't do that at all. "Then it seems these tools are still useful to you."

Lin Li then handed the hardware box to Zhu Ning.

After Zhu Ning opened it and saw what was inside, he immediately nodded: "This is indeed very helpful to me. If I were to create it myself, it would be a waste of a lot of time."

With the tools in hand, Zhu Ning began to disassemble the drone with greater ease.

Prying open the drone's protective shell reveals a relatively simple internal structure, consisting of components such as circuit boards, batteries, micro motors, propeller drive systems, and the core flight control chip.

Lin Li looked at Zhu Ning with great interest.

Zhu Ning's "tentacles" moved nimbly between the parts without making any scraping sounds.

Aside from that, there were no other actions, except that occasionally, while the drone was still operational, it would be used to try out the operation and observe the internal changes.

Zhu Ning seemed to be using some incomprehensible method to analyze these electronic components and mechanical structures that were completely new to her.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, Zhu Ning stopped what she was doing. She carefully put the disassembled parts back in place, then looked up at Lin Li:
"Mr. Lin Li, do you possess more of these technological products belonging to your world?"

"Although many of your components are still relatively crude in terms of technical principles and there is a huge generation gap in materials and processes, their basic logic and electric field are almost consistent with our core physical laws."

“If I could study your technological logic, perhaps I could utilize these unaffected core components, basic control systems, and sensors from your world… similar to this ‘swarm collaboration chip’ or ‘lower-level anti-gravity unit’…”

The towering drones naturally don't contain these high-tech features; they are probably just terms from the female-dominated world corresponding to real-world technology.

"In short, if we have enough materials, we can try to assemble the core skeleton of an aircraft!"

"Furthermore, there are some technological components in our world that can be used normally within the 'Silent Field.' If I disassemble them, they might also be usable there..."

Having heard this, Lin Li naturally understood Zhu Ning's plan completely.

“It’s feasible.” After a moment of contemplation, Lin Li nodded. “I don’t have many technological products on me right now, but that’s not a problem. I can retrieve them after I return to the real world.”

Not only will I bring the components, but I'll also include their instruction manuals and user guides. Furthermore, I can download relevant information and bring it along for you to review, accelerating your understanding of the technology in our world.

"If you need parts from your world, I have quite a few in my gourd, all collected recently. Of course, the collection methods are rather crude, and they may not meet your requirements."

Upon hearing Lin Li's words and seeing the parts from the wreckage being taken out one by one from the gourd, Zhu Ning's expression visibly brightened.

She felt that the plan was becoming increasingly feasible.

"After we discuss this together, let's make a list of the materials you need. But you need to explain your needs to me in simple terms, since I don't have enough knowledge in this area, and even if they are exactly the same thing, we may not use the same names for them on both sides."

I have a list so I can look for things specifically when I get back.

“Okay!” Zhu Ning nodded emphatically.

"Then shall I share with you what I currently know?"

"please."

……

time flies.

Several hours passed, and Zhu Ning didn't actually do much hands-on work; she mainly focused on learning.

At first, Lin Li was able to guide Zhu Ning based on his knowledge of science and technology.

But after only a few tens of minutes, she, who already had a foundation in the technology of the entire female world, quickly grasped and understood Lin Li's things. The questions she asked next were beyond Lin Li's ability to answer, and she needed to study these devices on her own.

The situation then became a case of Zhu Ning learning on his own, occasionally raising requests, and after the two negotiated, Lin Li would judge whether he could meet the request, whether it was "definitely possible," "definitely not possible," or "uncertain," thus allowing Zhu Ning to modify and adjust the overall plan.

And so it has come to this, with less than an hour left before the allotted time expires.

Task 2 has been completed.

[You have received the following rewards: Physical Improvement: Overall Recovery Ability increased by 50%; Random System-Oriented Item *1; System Currency *100]

You have been granted "Product Slot 0".

【Product Slot 0: After use, a new slot will be generated in the 【Shop】. This slot will not automatically generate products and cannot be refreshed, but products from other slots can be copied to this slot.】

Lin Li, who was waiting for Zhu Ning to ask her questions, glanced at the notification that suddenly popped up from the system and then looked at Zhu Ning's body.

There was still a large portion of the "Rejuvenating Pill" in her body that hadn't been fully digested, but the portion that had been digested was enough to heal her injuries.

You have already used "Product Field 0".

I tested it out, and slot 0 can be copied and deleted at will. This item is basically just an extra slot, and it can double the number of times you can buy a limited item, which is pretty good.

After reviewing his findings, Lin Li turned his attention to the new task that popped up.

Under your meticulous healing, the beautiful young woman's body has fully recovered, restoring her to her most beautiful state. However, during the healing process, you learned about her past. Now that you know she longs to go home, how can you force her to stay just because of your own feelings? Separation is for a better reunion!

[Mission triggered!]

[Task Two: Escort the beautiful girl home.]

[Task Rewards: Title: Protector of Flowers; Physique Improvement: Overall Recovery Ability Increased by 50%; Random System-Specific Item *1; System Currency *100]

[Guardian Angel: When wearing this title, any female character will be immune to damage if she is within ten meters of you; the target can only be changed after at least three hours of being designated.]

The new task is what you are currently doing.

Lin Li did the math.

This month has 31 days. Today is the 23rd, Monday. A new week will begin on the 30th.

So after this return, as long as you spend 40 system currency, you will have at least three more opportunities to come to the All-Women World this month. If you are willing to spend another 200 or 400 system currency, you can have four or five more.

Given Zhu Ning's skill level, I wonder if he can create enough things to leave this canyon in this short time.

Hopefully it will work.

Soon, the maximum time Lin Li could stay in the All-Women's World came to an end.

"Miss Zhu, I'll be leaving now. I'll try my best to bring back the items on the list."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Zhu Ning nodded, watching Lin Li disappear from sight.

Although Lin Li had already mentioned it, seeing it with my own eyes still felt unbelievable.

But Zhu Ning then put these thoughts aside and continued to devote herself to the research and study of modern technology.

……

At home, in the bathroom.

After washing off the few stains on his body, Lin Li took out his phone and started placing orders like crazy.

Unfortunately, some of the things Zhu Ning needs are either too expensive, not available on the market, or require pre-ordering. If she buys them now, she won't be able to get them this month, as there won't be enough time.

But Zhu Ning said it wasn't a big problem, and hopefully it really wasn't.

After purchasing these items, Lin Li let out a sigh of relief.

Although tonight has been a long time, it's only been ten minutes past midnight.

The night is long.

Lin Li, who had just left the restroom, went back inside.

He solemnly took off his long gown.

So... let's begin.

Task, mission, five.

"call--"

"Suck--"

"start up!!!"

Wow!
This move was for Zhu Ning!!

This time, it's for the Blue Alliance!!

This one is for the entire female world!!!
With national and familial righteousness at stake, the lives of countless people at stake, and the key to the survival of civilization...

I, Lin Li, will certainly not fail in my mission!!
Like a silkworm spinning silk until its death, or a candle burning until it turns to ash—! Begin! Dry!

It's on fire!!
"Faster! Faster!! I can—faster! A little faster!"

"Ughh ...

On a seemingly ordinary night, Lin Li gradually burned into pale ash.

……

It was three o'clock.

In an obscure neighborhood, a young man stands on a balcony, gazing at the night view of Xiling with a calm expression and profound eyes.

The boy was deep in thought at that moment.

Could it be that the universe is actually just a breath, and humanity is just a speck of dust in one of its breaths?
How insignificant we are.

So, what is the meaning of life? ☉_☉

It was nothing more than a wisp of dust.

What is the purpose of life?

It felt pretty boring.

☉_☉.
