The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 461 I'm standing right in front of you, do I look a bit like I used to?

When he lowered his voice to say those words, for a moment, Bai Bufan's expression was like that of someone in a climax.

Cool.

So Old Jiantou is usually this carefree?

So this is what it's like to be a teacher! Bai Bufan has decided that he wants to be a teacher too—but never mind.

The pleasure is fleeting, but the suffering is a lifetime of pain.

Bai Bufan felt nauseous and disgusted, and his enjoyment was gone.

However, whether Bai Bufan was happy or not was unimportant. Upon hearing this unfamiliar voice, the three of them suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The three of them looked up and saw two teachers wearing masks, looking at them with serious expressions.

Their hearts skipped a beat, and all three of them instantly stood up, instinctively putting their phones behind their backs. One of them even dropped his phone before he could hold it properly.

Lin Li stretched out his hand expressionlessly, his voice calm: "Give me your phone."

“Teacher…” one of them stammered.

"Give me your phone." But Lin Li interrupted him directly and repeated it again, raising his voice slightly.

The other party immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything more, and desperately placed the phone in Lin Li's hand.

The other two quickly followed.

"Are all three of you students from Class 9?" Lin Li asked, holding his phone with his hands behind his back and frowning.

"……Yes."

Who is the homeroom teacher?

"..."

"Hmm? Who's the homeroom teacher?"

"Yes, it's Miao Ruifeng."

The three of them kept their heads down, none of them daring to meet Lin Li's gaze, and their voices were extremely low.

"Teacher Miao." Lin Li, who didn't know the teacher at all, greeted her familiarly before letting out a cold laugh.

Seeing that the three of them finally dared not look up, Bai Bufan couldn't help but burst into laughter. He even cheekily pulled down his mask, transformed into Zhang Han, and stuck out his tongue at Lin Li and the three of them, showing off his pig liver.

Holy crap, this is pretty exciting.

Following Lin Li is indeed interesting.

Who would think of playing like this on a normal day?

Lin Li wasn't that naive. With a mission to complete, he didn't continue indulging in his teacher persona. He simply looked at the three of them again, his voice slightly cold:
"What did the principal tell you this morning? Didn't you hear what the principal said? Didn't Teacher Miao tell you?"

"We've asked you not to play on your phones during the New Year's Eve party. We're letting you bring your phones so you can take photos and record these youthful moments, so you'll have something to look back on in the future!"
But that doesn't mean you can just hide in the classroom and play on your phones!
You guys, you didn't listen at all? Huh?

Amidst the stern shouts from the crowd, the three men lowered their heads even further, none daring to refute, choosing instead to bury their heads in the sand like ostriches.

Bai Bufan was still secretly smiling, but his smile wasn't meant to mock.

To be honest, if he were caught by Lin Li right now, he would also back down before Lin Li recognized him.

The oppressive feeling of a strange, serious teacher is even stronger than that of a familiar, serious teacher.

"Phew—" Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the time was right, his voice softened slightly: "But the teacher doesn't want to make a big deal out of this."

"It seems unnecessary to confiscate your phone for a month just because you're using it like this."

—If the school confiscates it, it has to be returned after the end of the semester. Although the end of the semester is approaching, there is still about a month left.

Seeing that things seemed to be turning around, one of them finally had the courage to look up and meet Lin Li's gaze.

"You three, come with me."

Lin Li and Bai Bufan led the three of them to the stairwell.

"Confiscating it is indeed unnecessary. After all, tonight is a festival party, not a major meeting tomorrow. But the basic rules and regulations are here. If we just give them back to you, you certainly won't learn your lesson. Here, do twenty frog jumps as punishment."

"Just jump there, no need to jump to the third floor."

"Make sure your movements are correct. If you're planning to slack off on this, then go ask your homeroom teacher for your cell phones at the end of the semester."

Upon hearing this, the three of them lit up and, almost without hesitation, exchanged glances and immediately began frog jumps on the stairs.

This is definitely good news for them.

Compared to getting my phone back right now, what's a frog jump?
If someone were to say that these frog jumps are a form of corporal punishment for students, the three of them would be the first to panic.

To be honest, the three of them are still grateful to Lin Li for his generosity.

Looking at the three people coming up and down, Bai Bufan and Lin Li exchanged a glance.

This is also part of the plan.

Lin Li was confident that the pressure he had just exerted had already achieved the goal of "fear and not daring to repeat the offense." The only thing left to be done was to "apply a slight punishment."

As this is Lin Li's first attempt, what he is doing now is testing the waters to see what exactly this "minor punishment" entails.

If this works, that would be best. If not, then we should increase the penalties and punishments, or even confiscate the phones.

But if he could, Lin Li wouldn't want to go that far.

Because just as he had told Bai Bufan—

"Bufan, remember this: if we really confiscate the phone, it will be harder to handle the situation. The only thing we can do then is hand it over to Lao Jiantou or the grade head so they can give it to the teacher in the corresponding class. But that will inevitably lead to some questioning."

"Therefore, we must never do this unless absolutely necessary."

"But that doesn't mean we can only talk the talk. Hehe, we can show our dignity as excellent teachers in another way."

This statement almost perfectly disregards the elements of the task, fitting and explaining one's own actions.

At this moment, looking at the three people hopping like frogs in front of him, Bai Bufan's mouth under his mask was already clenched together in a ferocious manner—he was trying not to laugh.

You're so stubborn, you're laughing like a tonic!

Lin Li, that bastard, is too damn capable.

Moreover, Bai Bufan also strongly agreed with Lin Li's statement. Yes, not only is the process of confiscating phones too short and boring, but there is also the risk of exposure afterward, which is difficult to handle. In the end, it may also be hated by the senior students. It is definitely not as stable and interesting as the current method!
Wow, Wu Min is a genius with a string of inventions.

Seeing this scene, Bai Bufan felt that tonight had been worthwhile.

Lin Li smiled a few minutes later.

[Within two hours, at least ten sect disciples who ignored the rules and left to have fun were arrested and given minor punishments to deter them from repeating the offense (1/10)]

[Within two hours... dared not repeat the mistake (3/10)]

Before the 20 rounds were even finished, the system started popping up notifications one after another.

It popped up around the 12th or 14th round of playback.

perfect.

With this experience, Lin Li was more confident in his subsequent arrangements.

The subsequent punishments will remain the same as now. First, we'll say 20 rounds of frog jumps. Then, after the task data is recorded, we'll consider whether to end the punishment early, depending on the individual circumstances.

"T-Teacher, we're done dancing..."

After the slowest person finished 20 rounds, the three of them stood panting in front of Lin Li, their hands on their knees, and said...

"Okay," Lin Li nodded and handed the phone to the three people: "Go on, go back and continue with the party."

Remember, your phone is a tool; use it when it's crucial, don't let entertainment interfere with important matters.

The three of them felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They took the phone and nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice, their voices much louder than before.

They felt that this unfamiliar teacher, though strict, was also exceptionally understanding!

What a great teacher!

Lin Li nodded gently and reminded him:

"Also, after doing such a long frog jump, you should find some time to massage your legs and relax your muscles, especially your calves and the back of your thighs, when you get home tonight."

Otherwise, if you wake up tomorrow feeling so sore and unable to walk, don't blame me for not warning you. This amount of exercise is considerable, so don't take it lightly.

The three of them responded immediately upon hearing this.

"I understand, teacher!"

"Okay, thank you for your concern, teacher!"

This teacher is cold on the outside but warm on the inside!

This is what a people's teacher should be like!!!

Teacher Miao, you should learn from this!
"Go quickly." Lin Li waved his hand to signal.

The three of them turned around, feeling a bit relieved to have survived, and jogged downstairs. However, judging from their running posture, they still looked a little awkward because of the "corporal punishment" they had just endured.

"..." "..."

After they left, only silence remained at the stairwell.

until--

"Hahahaha—Lin Li, you're a beast! You're a fucking beast! They actually thanked us!! Holy crap! They seem to genuinely thank us! Lin Li, are you even human? You have no heart at all, holy crap hahahaha—"

After confirming that the three had left, Bai Bufan leaned against the wall with a laugh, repeatedly pounding on the wall, unable to contain his amusement.

Aside from various tones of "fuck," there seemed to be no other words more suitable for expressing his current feelings.

Laughter is contagious, and Lin Li couldn't help but tilt his head and press his thumb against his mask, managing a restrained laugh.

To put it bluntly, putting the mission aside, Lin Li also found it really fun to do this.

He thoroughly enjoyed the process.

Just like Bai Bufan, who, without any real benefit to himself, immediately and unconditionally joined the group after learning that Lin Li was going to cause trouble.

If tonight's matter is not a system task, but merely an idea proposed by Bai Bufan, and there is no benefit to be gained after its completion, then if Lin Li hesitates for even a second, it would be a disrespect to his morality and conscience.

You should join the group buy immediately when it starts.

"Alright, stop laughing. Your laughter sounds like that of a little kid, not an old man or a middle-aged man. Don't let anyone who passes by notice. Let's go. Tonight, my goal is to get at least seven more people. Ten would be a milestone. We need to hurry."

When Lin Li finished smiling and found Bai Bufan still slumped in the corner, he went over and kicked him, urging him to hurry up.

"Here it comes—bang!"

Bai Bufan slapped himself hard, trying to calm himself down a bit.

This shows Bai Bufan's determination and perseverance in making things interesting!

"It's a pity that almost everyone in our class was on the playground and no one went back to the classroom. Otherwise, I can't even imagine how satisfying it would be to let them do those frog jumps until they were exhausted and then have their true identities revealed."

As Bai Bufan followed Lin Li, he couldn't help but fantasize:
"Hiss—maybe we should think of a way to persuade them in the gaming group to go back to the classroom and play on their phones..."

As he spoke, Bai Bufan prepared to take out his phone from his briefcase.

Ladies and gentlemen, when making friends, be sure to stay away from people like Bai Bufan.

"Let nature take its course. Everyone has a brain. With our reputation in the class, we can subtly guide them until they become wary and realize something is wrong."

Lin Li felt that the best friends to make were people like himself.

“That makes sense,” Bai Bufan thought, nodding in agreement. He realized he had been a bit too greedy. “Let’s continue tormenting the other classes.”

……

[Within two hours, at least ten sect disciples who ignored the rules and left to have fun were arrested and given minor punishments to deter them from repeating the offense (8/10)]

The plan went even more smoothly than expected.

The mission is almost complete.

These eight have already been completed, and right now, in front of Lin Li, four high school students who had just been arrested were also doing frog jumps with expressions of relief.

They haven't been included in the data yet.

After they finished jumping, they still exceeded the target for the task.

Including these four, none of the 12 unlucky guys tonight had any accidents.

If I had to name two students, they were probably the troublemakers in the class. When Lin Li tried to confiscate their phones, they didn't back down like the other students. Instead, they were full of resentment and spoke quite aggressively.

But when Lin Li changed his mind and said they only needed frog jumps, they immediately felt it was acceptable and stopped arguing, obediently doing frog jumps.

Bai Bufan and Lin Li estimated that the two of them would boast to their classmates afterward that they had managed to make two veteran teachers back down with their toughness.

Aside from the twelve unlucky guys, the few classmates who came back to pick up their things and greeted them, as well as a teacher, a total of about twenty people, none of them noticed the two's disguise and all greeted them.

To be honest, because they weren't wearing makeup, if you looked closely, you could still tell from the upper half of their faces that the masks couldn't cover that Lin Li and Bai Bufan were very young, but no one would think that they were students disguised as teachers.

This is beyond the comprehension of a normal person.

Even though Nansang Middle School is known for its outstanding students, Lin Bai believes that only the elite students of Class 4 in the first year of high school could deduce the truth based on their familiarity with the two of them.

As for the rest, forget it.

In addition, Lin Li's voice was well disguised, and Bai Bufan was mostly observing. Even if a student noticed this detail, they would at most think that he was a teacher who looked younger and took better care of himself.

That was a perfect operation.

Looking at the four people in front of him, Lin Li's lips curled up slightly beneath his mask.

At this moment, footsteps approached from below the stairs, but they were not noticeable amidst the sounds of the four frog jumpers.

Until the owner of the footsteps appeared on the corner platform downstairs.

Lin Li, with his hunchbacked posture, almost instinctively stood at attention.

I'm crazy.

A wild elite of Class 4, Grade 11 has emerged.

—The person who appeared was Xue Jian.

When the footsteps downstairs could be heard from upstairs, it was impossible for the downstairs residents not to hear the even louder noise caused by the frog jumps from above. Therefore, when Xue Jian went upstairs, he also looked at the steps diagonally above with curiosity. When he found that there were several students doing frog jumps, his gaze became even more surprised.

It's not PE class now, so why would we do frog jumps?

Then, naturally, I noticed the two teachers standing at the stairwell supervising the four students.

The teacher standing in the main seat also looked over at this moment and met Xue Jian's gaze.

The other person nodded slightly, their eyes calm.

Xue Jian nodded in response, though he didn't recognize which teacher it was.

But that's normal; with so many faculty and staff in a school, how could they possibly recognize them all?

Even among the math teachers, there are still a few whose names and appearances they can't quite match.

After greeting the teacher in the main seat, Xue Jian looked at the teacher in the secondary seat.

strangeness.

Xue Jian wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the teacher had subtly adjusted their positions, making the three of them stand in a line, hiding in the blind spot created by the teacher in the main seat, so that they couldn't meet each other's gaze.

But Xue Jian didn't think much of it.

"This is……"

When he got to the second floor, he couldn't help but ask the two teachers about the current situation.

After all, if this weren't a physical education class, what's happening now is more like... some kind of corporal punishment?
Corporal punishment is strictly prohibited.

"Oh, teacher, during our patrol, we found these kids hiding in the classroom playing on their phones. Normally, if we catch them, we should confiscate their phones and leave them until the end of the semester, but that would be too strict. But if we do nothing, it would be too easy on them. So we made them do a few frog jumps to teach them a lesson, and then we gave their phones back."

Lin Li shook the four phones stacked in his hand and explained to Xue Jian in a steady voice.

"Oh, I see. Oh, okay."

Corporal punishment is definitely a sensitive topic for teachers. Although what is happening in front of us may not seem like pure corporal punishment, Xue Jian still feels that it is a bit inappropriate.

But it's not good to meddle in other people's business, and these students are more willing to do frog jumps because they're afraid their phones will be confiscated.

So Xue Jian didn't say anything more, nodded, and walked into the corridor.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Lin Li turned his head and exchanged a glance with Bai Bufan, who was already drenched in sweat.

"Holy crap, what the hell is going on with Lin Li? What do we do...?"

Bai Bufan lowered his voice and said menacingly.

"Don't panic, don't lose your composure, stay calm. After this group finishes jumping, we'll change clothes immediately, go back to the playground, and retire from this business." Lin Li was relatively calm as he gestured.

"Are we going to wait until they finish dancing? Why don't we just say that's enough, give them back their phones, and slip away?" Bai Bufan said anxiously and somewhat uneasyly.

"no!"

If the task were to be disregarded, all efforts would be in vain. Lin Li naturally refused without hesitation, then stared at Bai Bufan and lowered his voice: "Director Bai, there should be a beginning and an end."

Those four words were enough for Bai Bufan to feel Lin Li's determination, so he gritted his teeth and nodded.

The sound of footsteps approached from afar, gradually drawing closer from the direction of the corridor.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan exchanged a glance and immediately fell silent.

Xue Jian appeared behind the two, his brows slightly furrowed as he looked at his phone, then turned to the two teachers:

"Teachers, when you passed by Class 4 of Grade 1, did you see two boys? They were tall and thin."

Lin Li and Bai Bufan: "..."

I'm crazy.

Spicy balls.
