The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 460 Once a man is over eighteen, he shouldn't dress like a child anymore.
[During the sect's grand gathering, a disciple, driven by personal desire for pleasure, disregarded sect rules and attempted to abscond. As a holy son loyal to the sect, how could I stand idly by and watch this happen?]

[Limited-time mission triggered!]

[Task Six: Within two hours, arrest at least ten sect disciples who disregarded the rules and left to have fun, and give them a slight punishment to deter them from repeating the offense (0/10).]

[Task Rewards: Physical Improvement: Spell effectiveness increased by 100%; Random Elixir *1; System Currency *100]

This is the task that just popped up.

Lin Li's gaze swept across the system panel, quickly scanning it before turning his head and fixing his gaze on the boys from before, watching them jog towards the teaching building.

My mind began to recall the conversation I had overheard before the two left, and before the mission was triggered:

"The internet connection on the playground is so slow, it's impossible to play games."

"How about we sneak back to the classroom to play? Anyway, they shouldn't be taking attendance anymore. If the teacher asks, we can just say we went to the bathroom."

"...It feels okay."

"Shall we go?"

--"Walk."

Based on this conversation, it's relatively easy to deduce why the two left—their internet connection on the playground was too slow, so they decided to find a less crowded spot with better signal to play games together.

And this is precisely the opportunity that triggers the mission.

Then the specific target of "disciples of the sect who ignore the rules and leave to have fun" becomes easy to understand.

The part about "arresting ten people and giving them minor punishments" seems fine.

There were definitely more people leaving than just the two I observed.

After all, while Lin Li's viewing experience of the school's New Year's Eve party wasn't terrible, it wasn't particularly outstanding either.

Those who went on stage were ultimately just students and some teachers; they weren't professional performers.

Besides, even the New Year's Eve galas and Spring Festival galas organized by TV stations still attract a lot of people who aren't interested.

Without cell phones, everyone would have been quite happy watching videos during evening study sessions, since everything becomes more interesting compared to studying. But now that we have cell phones, it's normal to have other ideas. Gathering ten people from both grades should still be no problem.

Furthermore, for the sake of easier management, the school locks the dormitory buildings during class hours, so those who want to play on their phones cannot return to their dormitories, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the search.

Lin Li is still thinking about the task requirement of "making them fearful and dare not repeat the mistake".

But soon, Lin Li smiled slightly.

I've got a plan.

"I'm going to use the bathroom."

Once the idea was clear, Lin Li decided to put it into practice. After greeting Bai Bufan beside him, he turned around and prepared to walk towards the teaching building.

“I’m going too, I need to pee too.” Bai Bufan snapped his fingers and stood up, pulling Lin Li along.

Lin Li raised an eyebrow and glanced at Bai Bufan.

"what happened?"

Judging from the frankness and doubt in the other person's eyes when they met his gaze, Bai Bufan hadn't noticed anything unusual about him; he simply really needed to urinate.

This view was also verified in the toilet.

The flowing water is like a tap turned on energy-saving mode, with a gentle, unhurried, standard natural flow rate.

And Bai Bufan—

“Zizzizi!!!”

It's like starting an industrial high-pressure water gun; the water is rapid, powerful, and forceful, not just flowing out, but being shot out, with a sound that carries a sense of pent-up energy!
It seems this guy didn't just happen to need to pee; he'd been holding it in for a while.

Seeing Bai Bufan intently drawing circles in the urinal with his lower body, Lin Li couldn't help but raise his chin: "Hey, got a new phone? So energetic?"

"Yes." Bai Bufan paused for a moment, then immediately nodded with a smile.

"What about the old one?"

"I'm selling the old one on Zhuanzhuan," Bai Bufan enthusiastically recommended to Lin Li.

"To achieve such smooth gameplay, a good device is essential. Thanks to the phone I bought on Zhuanzhuan, which was several thousand yuan cheaper than a new phone, I could have bought a tablet with the money I saved."

Zhuanzhuan is an official platform for authenticating used mobile phones. I put all my old phones and tablets that I don't use anymore on Zhuanzhuan for recycling. Once I place an order, someone comes to my door to collect them. I got over 3,000 yuan for my old phone; I was satisfied with the price and got paid on the spot. I recommend you use Zhuanzhuan to save money.

Lin Li: "()!"

The next second, Lin Li, who had an idea, gave a thumbs-down gesture, his tone suddenly filled with superiority and pride, and sneered at Bai Bufan:

"Then you're really trash. When I changed my phone, before I could even sell my old one, the village borrowed it and used it as a telephone pole at the village entrance."

"You son of a bitch!" Bai Bufan laughed and cursed, "Why don't you use it as a load-bearing wall for the Empire State Building? I really need to wake you up."

After urinating, the two washed their hands.

"Tsk tsk, to be honest, I really think some of these sinks are just brain-dead designs."

Looking at the stagnant water in the sink that had been collected by previous people, Bai Bufan frowned deeply and complained with disgust.

Could you add a chain to the bottom stopper of all the pools?

Has the designer never experienced the agony of having to reach into the sink and poke open the bottom even though the water in the sink is clearly dirty?
What do you think?

Especially when the dirty water in front of you wasn't caused by your own actions, and you have no idea why it's dirty or what its components are, you feel even more disgusted.

After scrunching his face and washing his hands hastily, Bai Bufan prepared to return to the playground.

After walking a few steps, he realized that he was the only one walking, so he turned around and saw that Lin Li was still standing in the same place and had not followed.

"Lin Li? What are you doing?" Bai Bufan asked curiously and puzzled.

"You go back first, I have something to do." Lin Li waved his hand, still having to complete his mission.

Bai Bufan narrowed his eyes and immediately stopped in his tracks: "What is it?"

"nothing."

"Are you going to harm people?"

"Am I really that expressive of my emotions?" Lin Li rubbed his cheek in self-reflection.

Bai Bufan's expression changed.

"Don't worry, don't worry, this time I'm not trying to harm you, and I won't use your name. It has absolutely nothing to do with you. If I were lying to you, I would use Tiger Balm to remove the grime from my bag."

Lin Li naturally understood the unspoken words beneath Bai Bufan's pale face, so he chuckled and reassured him.

Alas, Bufan still has too much prejudice and misunderstanding about himself.

But Bai Bufan didn't leave. After squinting at Lin Li for a while, he quickly returned to his side, looking somewhat eager.

"I want to join."

Although I don't know what Lin Li is going to do, I'll join him anyway.

Of course, Bai Bufan did not do this because he also wanted to harm others.

Rather, Bai Bufan was worried that Lin Li was doing too badly, so he felt he needed to keep an eye on him—this was like offering himself to a tiger! This was like offering my blood to Xuanyuan!
Sigh, just telling this story is enough to bring tears to my eyes.

"You want to join?" Lin Li frowned.

"Yes! Lin Li, I'm sticking with you," Bai Bufan said, grabbing Lin Li's hand as soon as he saw the slight change in Lin Li's eyes. "I will keep an eye on you for the rest of tonight. Don't leave me behind!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Li frowned again, recalling the contents of the gourd and considering the feasibility of Bai Bufan coming along.

enough.

"Okay." So Lin Li nodded, and before Bai Bufan could say anything, he immediately added:

"There are too many people coming and going in the first-floor restroom, Bufan. Go to the second-floor restroom and wait for me. I'll run back to the classroom. Don't worry, I won't leave you behind. I'll come find you as soon as I get my things. If I'm lying to you, I'll chop off my turtle's black head."

Although Class 4 was originally on the second floor, due to the principle of proximity, the two were currently on the first floor of the second-year teaching building, and Lin Li was going to the other side.

What are you going to get?

Seeing that Lin Li was speaking seriously, Bai Bufan didn't think he would lie to him, but asked out of curiosity.

"You'll see soon enough, it's our equipment."

Lin Li gave a wicked smile, kept everyone in suspense, and then wasted no time, jogging upstairs.

Lin Li's figure quickly disappeared from sight. Bai Bufan scratched his head, but still obediently went to the door of the men's restroom on the second floor. After checking to make sure no one was inside, he waited for Lin Li outside the door.

It didn't take long; in less than two minutes, Lin Li arrived in front of Bai Bufan carrying two large bags.

"This is..." Bai Bufan asked tentatively, looking at the bag in Lin Li's hand.

"Take it and change it."

Lin Li tossed one of the bags directly to Bai Bufan.

"What is this?" Bai Bufan hugged the bag, then rummaged through it with his hands and found that it looked like clothes and pants.

“Men over 18 can no longer dress like children; they need to be more mature and composed.”

Lin Li smiled slightly, without giving a complete explanation, and took the initiative to enter a toilet stall. Soon, Bai Bufan, who hadn't moved yet, saw Lin Li's school uniform hanging above the toilet stall, indicating that Lin Li was already changing his clothes.

"Gada."

While Bai Bufan was still rummaging through the bag to check what was inside, Lin Li had already come out of the restroom. He looked up; stunned; his pupils dilated; the ground trembled!

"Holy crap! What the hell is this?!"

"Where did you get this, you idiot—"

When he realized what he had seen, Bai Bufan instantly lost his composure—

Lin Li changed into a pure black jacket, and underneath he wore a black and gray striped plaid long-sleeved shirt, with the shirt hem tucked into his pants.

Furthermore, it appeared that there was a pillow stuffed inside his shirt, making Lin Li look as if he had suddenly gained a large stomach.

He wore black dress pants on his lower body. The pants were obviously too wide and loose, and the waistband was pulled up very high. If it weren't for an old brown belt holding them in place, they would have fallen down in the next second.

Not only that, the hair that used to fall naturally is now combed upwards and to the sides and fixed in place.

Finally, the perfectly good sneakers have now become a pair of black leather shoes.

High emotional intelligence: Has a strong sense of administration.

Low emotional intelligence: The dressing style of greasy middle-aged people.

"It's okay for you to dress more maturely after you turn eighteen, but the way you're dressed makes it seem like you only have eighteen years left to live, Lin Li."

Bai Bufan, clutching his bag, squatted down on the ground, laughing.

This is absolutely hilarious.

"Are you going to put them on or not? Hurry up." Lin Li was not annoyed by Bai Bufan's reaction; in fact, he was quite satisfied, but he still urged him on.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Bai Bufan was still questioning, but he had already sensibly walked into the cubicle, ready to change while listening.

It looks like it'll be really interesting.

"I'll play the role of a teacher." Lin Li smiled slightly, revealing his plan—

"Looking at us now, if we put on masks and fake glasses, who would recognize us as students?"

“Bufan, I know what you’re going to ask next is, what do we do after we play the role of teachers?”

"Jie Jie Jie."

"It's very simple. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be quite a few people in the teaching building right now who didn't go to watch the New Year's Eve party but are playing on their phones in the classroom. So, let me test you. At this moment, if the two of us appear and seriously confiscate their phones, guess what will happen?"

This is indeed Lin Li's plan.

Playing on your phone in the classroom during the party is just like cheating on a quiz. It's wrong, of course, but if you, as a student, try to stop and reprimand someone, it just seems like you're meddling and making trouble out of nothing.

Moreover, today's situation is actually even more inappropriate. After all, if someone cheats, the teacher will definitely intervene if they see it, but if someone is playing on their phone tonight, most teachers, like Xue Jian, will turn a blind eye and won't make a big deal out of it.

At most, they'll say a few words.

The objective of "slightly punishing them to deter them from repeating the offense" is almost impossible.

Forget about being afraid; you might even get called an idiot.

As for the "duck blood bottle" absorbing and transferring fear, Lin Li does not believe that this can meet the system's requirements because it does not address the root cause and is even too supernatural, which may cause unrest.

Therefore, Lin Li believed from the beginning that he had to abandon his student identity, and that as long as he "became" a teacher, there would be a lot of room for maneuver in this task.

Bai Bufan: "()!!"

Bai Bufan was already laughing when Lin Li was halfway through his sentence.

I grass!

Just imagining the scene made Bai Bufan feel like he couldn't hold back anymore.

They're beasts! A whole bunch of damn beasts!

To be honest, it's so cheeky, but it sounds hilarious.

"Got it! Together! Holy crap, hahaha—"

The rustling sounds of changing clothes in the cubicle became clearer, indicating that Bai Bufan was changing clothes in a greater hurry.

Soon, the door to the cubicle was opened.

When Lin Li saw Bai Bufan's current appearance, he understood why Bai Bufan had just laughed.

It's really hard to hold back.

"These are all your sizes, right? They're all a bit too big for me, but I feel like they'll have more character once they're looser. What do you think?"

Bai Bufan walked to the mirror, looked at his reflection, and couldn't help but smile.

There was absolutely no sadness about the damage to her image, only appreciation for her outfit.

“Yes, they’re all my size,” Lin Li tossed over the small pillow and hairspray he was holding.

"Put on the big stomach bag and style your hair up. Our naturally falling hairstyle makes us look like we're not middle-aged. It's too out of character."

"OK, OK." Bai Bufan nodded and began to refine his image.

"By the way, Lin Li, where did you get all these things?" While perfecting his work, Bai Bufan looked at Lin Li behind him through the mirror and asked curiously.

"When I heard Old Jian emphasize this morning that we weren't allowed to play games on our phones, I thought something like this might happen tonight, so I went out specifically to prepare this afternoon,"

Before Bai Bufan could ask anything further, Lin Li took the initiative to continue:
"I made two copies because I like to have a Plan B. If one of them has a problem, I can switch to another one at any time."

"Damn, you planned this so far ahead! You foresaw it this morning, amazing!" Bai Bufan said, stroking his hair in shock. "The shock this truth brings me is no less than when I found out that Zhongli was faking his death."

Lin Li smiled.

The truth is, of course, not like that.

In fact, these clothes were taken out by Lin Li from the "Fire-Nourishing Sword Gourd".

Since the preliminary round of the Xuezhi Cup two weeks ago, when Lin Li realized that he was a huge gourd and couldn't even find a hat, he went home that night and ordered a lot of things to enrich his wardrobe.

Not to mention this mature outfit, Lin Li could even pull out a women's outfit in his size from the gourd.

But only one set was prepared.

As for Bai Bufan's clothes, they were picked from other miscellaneous items and put together as a makeshift set.

Since he's the main character, it's not a big problem if he dresses a little less maturely.

"OK, all done." Bai Bufan put on his mask, looked at Director Bai in the mirror, and laughed again.

"There's only one briefcase, you can take it."

After giving the last piece of equipment to Bai Bufan, Lin Li signaled that he could leave the restroom.

It's time for Wolong to emerge from seclusion!

“Bufan, when you walk, don’t straighten your back, hunch it slightly, and put your hands behind your back, clasped together.”

"Received! Brother Lin!" Bai Bufan took it as gospel.

"Don't use your natural voice when you speak, be more composed," Lin Li said seriously. "Also, use your job title when you're at work."

"Received, Lin Zhiwu." Bai Bufan quickly entered his state of mind and said in a low voice.

The two left the restroom one after the other.

Instead of going to the first-year high school building, the two of them had a brief conversation and then began their patrol along the second floor of the second-year high school building.

There were almost no students in the four classrooms on the second floor. The only two students there didn't seem to be playing on their phones; they looked more like they had come back to get something and quickly ran back to the playground.

"Hello, teacher." As they passed Lin Li and Bai Bufan, the two of them respectfully greeted the teacher.

"Ah."

After the girl left, Lin Li and Bai Bufan looked at each other, their eyes full of smiles.

Initial results are visible.

The two went upstairs, and then, in Class 9 of the second year of high school, they finally found their target—

"Help me, help me! The enemy jungler is coming to gank me!"

"Would you like to admire my dance?!"

"Holy crap, let's hunt bison!"

"Bison? Where are there bison?"

Three chairs, whether they were left behind or were extra, formed a circle in the back row. Three students in school uniforms sat on them, their phones pressed together, screens horizontal, playing games while shouting excitedly.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan exchanged a glance, adjusted their expressions slightly, and pushed open the door to go inside.

Whether they were too engrossed in playing or thought it was just a classmate returning, even though Lin Li opened the door very loudly, none of the three of them looked up until Lin Li and Bai Bufan were right next to them.

Lin Li patted one of them on the shoulder.

The other party did not move.

Bai Bufan's eyes lit up. He stopped Lin Li and stepped forward to pat the classmate on the shoulder again: "It's me."

The boy turned around impatiently: "Who are you sending it to?"

Bai Bufan OvO: "I'll send it to Xue Jian."
