The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 464 Ancient List. I searched a few and found many have already closed down. Business is tough these days.

"..."

Article 196 of the Code of Hammurabi states that if a free man destroys the ear of another free man, then that free man's ear should also be destroyed.

Right now, even extremists would think Lin Li's remarks are too extreme, to the point where his family needs to consult a sage.

However, after careful consideration, Bai Bufan and the others realized that judging according to Lin Li's statement did indeed seem to make sense.

— Use various techniques to make the instrument feel comfortable. The more skillful the technique and the more proficient the ventriloquism, the better the silvery sound the instrument will make. If you use too much force or are unfamiliar with it, the instrument will not feel any pleasure and will only make an unpleasant scream.

If you use too much force, it might even break.

Holy crap, this is practically pornographic.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Sensing the somewhat silent atmosphere, Lin Li calmly looked at the people around him and asked with a puzzled expression.

"How should I put it, for someone to say something like that, it feels like Lin Li, you're the kind of person who, after going to the hospital, would have the following conversation:"
Doctor: "We have an ultrasound scan here."

Lin Li: "Really?"

Doctor: "Really? Where's the pregnant woman?"

Lin Li: "That works too."

Doctor: "? I called security."

Lin Li: "That works too."

Doctor: "Awesome."

Lin Li: "That works too."

Bai Bufan shook his head in disdain.

Yang Bangjie also agreed, nodding in support.
"Indeed, to say something like that, Lin Li, it seems you're the kind of person who would search for 'Sweetheart Weapon, Tenga Flagship Store, UPKO, cwcourogesdom, Fei Mu, iroho, Huo Hua Jia, Yi Ran, Zui Qing Feng, Ye Se Xing, kistoy, An Sheng Qing Su, Ye Ying Nv Ren, Mi Zhi Se Zhi Wen, Shaonv Mei Wu, Wai Meng She, Xiao Ma Mei, Manyan, romfun, LooloLuna' on Taobao, and then click on the product page and start flying off."

The crowd, who had initially been looking down on Lin Li, instantly turned their attention to Yang Bangjie after he said those words.

"Old man, you've finally decided to bring out the Burning Technique, huh?"

Bai Bufan was the quickest to act, immediately taking out his phone. However, there was a deeper meaning to this, and he was speechless, so he could only look at Yang Bangjie ingratiatingly:
"Brother, read it again, I can't remember a single one."

Yang Bangjie: "Sweetheart Weapons, Tenga Flagship Store..."

It's hard to imagine a class that can be talking about musical instruments one second and then naturally gather together to discuss lingerie stores the next.

Furthermore, thanks to the network card on the playground, they also divided the work and cooperated, with each person searching for different shops and loading different pictures in order to maximize efficiency.

The most united episode.

However, after watching for a short while, Zhang Haoyang, who should have been executed the most from Class 4 of Grade 1, curled his lip:
"Tch, why are all the buyer reviews the same kind of older sister type?"

Upon hearing this, everyone tacitly looked at this guy who would choose the smallest bullet even if he were to be shot, with disdain.

Lin Li suddenly cleared his throat, speaking in a calm tone tinged with a hint of sadness:

"That year, Zhang Haoyang was 8 years old, and the girl was also 8 years old. Haoyang confessed his love to her with a watermelon-flavored lollipop, but she rejected him."

"That year, Zhang Haoyang was 28 years old, and the girl was also 28 years old. The girl confessed her feelings to Haoyang with the same watermelon-flavored lollipop, but Haoyang rejected her."

"Haoyang and the girl haven't changed."

"Girls still prefer men who are rich."

"Haoyang still prefers the 8-year-old."

"What a sad story. People always meet the right person at the wrong time. It's really a pity."

Zhang Haoyang: "(゜▽゜)?"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The first person to break down in laughter was actually Zhang Haoyang himself, who then smugly stroked his chin.

"Come on, how could that be? Haoyang, you can't possibly have any money," Bai Bufan scoffed, pouring cold water on the idea.

Bai Bufan didn't want any more rich people to appear among his brothers; his fragile heart couldn't withstand such blows anymore.

"Yeah, come on, how could that be? Haoyang, no one will ever confess to you." Qin Zeyu scoffed, pouring cold water on the idea.

Qin Zeyu didn't want any more of his brothers to have romantic relationships with other women; his fragile heart couldn't take such a blow anymore.

Zhou Baowei: "I also want to eat watermelon-flavored lollipops."

It's not that I'm being discouraging; Baowei is rather naive, he just had a craving.

"Are you all even human? Not one of you wants anything good for anyone. You've made some bad friends, damn it!" Zhang Haoyang grinned through his teeth, pointing at each person's face with his index finger.

However, when Zhang Haoyang saw that Lin Libai, Bufan, and the others' expressions changed and they began to sit up straight, he immediately turned his head away.

Upon discovering that it was indeed Xue Jian approaching with a dark expression, he immediately turned around, sat up straight, and became obedient.

"What's all the noise about? You guys are the noisiest people on the whole playground," Xue Jian said irritably.

"We weren't the noisiest ones..." Lin Li retorted softly, "Those two were talking much louder than us, and they kept provoking us."

Xue Jian glanced in the direction Lin Li was pointing.

That's the host.

"You two should write a four-thousand-word self-criticism."

Bai Bufan: TAT.

Why does my word count have to be increased because Lin Li is so sarcastic?

"Also, Lin Li, move a chair to the first row." Xue Jian's actions didn't stop there.

"I don't need the teacher anymore. I've decided to become someone who 'doesn't talk much'," Lin Li said sheepishly.

This time is different from the sports meet. When I was moved to the front row during the sports meet, Wang Ze, as the sports committee member holding the class banner, and Chen Yuying, as the class representative who was going to go on stage to receive the award, had the two of them with me. Now, rolling up there, I'm all alone. And it's even hard to use my phone in the front row.

"Don't give me that." Xue Jian remained unmoved. "Bring me a chair and come with me."

Lin Li gritted his teeth: "The school leaders are all not far from our classroom. If they're close to me, I can't guarantee what might happen. Teacher, you don't want to lose your job, do you..."

Xue Jian smiled and said, "I'd like to."

Xue Jian's smile grew more sincere as he thought about it: "If I could give up this position as the homeroom teacher of Class 4, I would thank you."

Lin Li: "..."

OK, Lin Li was out of options now. He obediently got up, said goodbye to everyone, and followed Xue Jian to sit in the first row of the classroom.

However, there are gains as well as losses.

For example, after seeing Lin Li being moved to the front row, Chen Yuying became even more proactive, using the excuse of taking photos in front of the camera to stand or squat next to Lin Li, chatting with him and passing the time together.

By the way, listen to the more detailed process of Lin Li torturing people tonight.

The time of the party passed slowly in this way.

……

At 8:30, there were only a few performances left before the end of the evening's show.

After all, in the conspicuous first row, the two did not do anything overly intimate. At most, when Chen Yuying squatted next to him, she would gently rest her head against Lin Li's leg, and when she was standing, Lin Li would lean against her waist.

It is both close and distant, both distant and close.

"What kind of things are you filming?"

Chen Yuying took the camera back from Lin Li's hand and looked at the photos she had just taken. They were either close-up shots of the backs of the school leaders' heads or close-up shots of the corners of the stage. There weren't many decent ones, and she said with a hint of annoyance.

I should have known better than to give it to him when I asked to go play.

"Don't you think there's a lot of artistic merit to this?" This was actually just a bunch of random photos being taken, and the person asking the question was pretending to be serious.

"Tch, I just find it very abstract."

Lin Li held up an index finger and shook it: "Squad leader, you're a bit out of touch with the world. The photos I took on the plantations in the American South back then, those were truly surreal."

Chen Yuying: "..."

"What kind of ridiculous act is this..." Chen Yuying complained, having been ambushed again. "Hehe."

"Thank you to the students from Class 3 of Grade 11 for their wonderful performance! Their youthful energy truly warmed our hearts and gave us strength on this winter night!"

"Well said! Wonderful performances always light up our nights and bring us endless surprises. So, dear teachers and students, tonight's program has been a prelude. After the prelude, we will naturally welcome the most exciting and anticipated segment."

"That's right! Just from the name of the next program, you can feel their confidence and goals!"

"Where's the applause?! Let's welcome Zhang and Wang from Class 27 of Senior High School with the warmest cheers and anticipation—the grand finale! Please welcome them!"

The two hosts' back-and-forth banter drew Lin Li and Chen Yuying's attention back to them.

"So arrogant, calling the show 'The Main Event' directly." Lin Li raised an eyebrow.

"And it's the finale performance, so it might actually be really amazing." Chen Yuying nodded with a smile.

The stage lights instantly dimmed, leaving only a solitary spotlight that shone precisely on the stage entrance with great anticipation.

Under the expectant gazes of both of them, a performer appeared from the side of the stage.

then.

"Damn, it's so heavy, so heavy, so heavy—" He clutched his head and slammed onto the stage with a thud.

Lin Li and Chen Yuying: "(；゜○゜)?"

Wait a minute.

What the hell is this supposed to be the highlight of the show?!

However, before Lin Li could question how the program had passed censorship or whether Nansang Middle School was still salvageable, he suddenly realized what had happened.

This "Crucial Scene" is similar to those "actors" who perform without any props, pretending there is a "wall" in front of them, or that "someone" is snatching something from their hands. It belongs to a type of physical mime performance.

This person, and the other performer who came on stage after them, must have had formal training. They genuinely conveyed the feeling of having an extremely heavy head through their physical movements, which was quite impressive for a student.

This is truly the main event.

That's great, there's still hope for Nansang Middle School.

After the grand finale, school leaders gave a brief speech, which marked the end of the New Year's Eve gala.

There were still a few minutes left before the official end of evening self-study, which was just right. Both grades were using this time to move desks and chairs, intending to make room in the classrooms and corridors according to their own plans, in order to prepare for the carnival the next morning.

A few minutes is definitely not enough time, but the carnival doesn't start the moment you enter the school tomorrow morning, so the rest of the arrangements can be done tomorrow morning.

When I got home, since Chen Yuying had her phone with her, I chatted with her for a while and coaxed her to sleep.

After Wu Min returned to the master bedroom and had been asleep for a while, Lin Li went to the All-Women's World.

I actually wanted to go from the very beginning.

But as expected, the time flow ratio this week has become 1:80, and the maximum stay has become 10 hours. That is to say, if I stay in the female world for a full ten hours, reality will no longer disappear for just one minute as it did at the beginning, but for more than seven minutes.

Seven minutes is certainly not a long time, but it's definitely not short either, so we still need to be cautious.

An all-female world.

"Mr. Lin, you're back." Zhu Ning greeted him upon noticing Lin Li's arrival.

"Hmm." Lin Li nodded, then tossed a pill to the other person. "Take this; it might increase your efficiency."

"Huh? This is..."

A "hand" wriggled out of her body and caught the pill. Although Zhu Ning subconsciously asked a question, at the same time she asked, she had already incorporated the pill into her body and made it stick together with the "Rejuvenating Feather Pill" that had not yet been fully digested.

"It's also a pill. Theoretically, it can speed up your thinking and make you more focused," Lin Li explained.

The rewards for the mobile task at the party are: [Physical Improvement: Spell effectiveness increased by 100%; Random Pill *1; System Currency *100].

The random pill among them was the "Clear and Wise Mind Pill" that Zhu Ning had just been given.

【"Qinghui Mingxin Dan": After taking it, depending on the degree of absorption, it can cleanse the mind of distracting thoughts and fatigue within 12-24 hours, making the mind clear and significantly accelerating thinking speed.

It greatly enhances concentration, making one less susceptible to external distractions, and significantly improves the efficiency of understanding complex techniques, talismans, and formations.

After the effects of the medicine wear off, the mind will feel tired and need rest to recover.

This elixir has negligible effect on cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above.

The cultivation encyclopedia left behind by Daoist Shanqing and Deng Wen records this elixir; it is an ordinary elixir of low grade.

Since it's not a permanent buff, Lin Li wouldn't mind using it for a day or two, so he might as well give it to Zhu Ning to increase the chances of escaping.

"...I think I can feel it." Zhu Ning's voice became more relaxed, with a slight silvery sound. "I feel a cool sensation, and my mind feels clearer."

"So take advantage of this state and 'work' as much as you can. After the effects wear off, you'll experience a brief period of mental fatigue—but overall, you'll definitely make a profit."

Lin Li nodded, materialized his gourd, patted it, and gestured.

"it is good."

Although Lin Li spent most of his time doing nothing, time still passed quickly, measured in hours.

The pills should still be effective. When Lin Li returned from searching for the wreckage parts she needed at the bottom of the canyon as Zhu Ning had requested, he could already see the prototype of the aircraft. The efficiency seemed to be much higher than before.

The aircraft is neither too big nor too small, but most of its volume consists of relatively crudely connected components. The space left for two people to sit is actually very small and has no protective measures whatsoever. This is not because it is a semi-finished product, but also because the final product will not have such measures.

Zhu Ning didn't have the energy or ability to consider safety measures.

Lin Li wasn't worried about his own life after the aircraft failed to fly, since he had the "Impregnable Fortress" ability. As for Zhu Ning's safety, Lin Li had actually made preparations two weeks ago, and he should be able to save her even if the flight failed.

But it would be best if it succeeded.

"Have you encountered any problems? Do you have any needs? I'm leaving soon, and this next meeting might be our last chance," Lin Li asked after checking the remaining time in the system.

Zhu Ning, engrossed in her work, looked up upon hearing this and then nodded.

"Theoretically, there is no problem. Thanks to your elixir, the progress is much faster than I expected. If all goes well, give me a few more hours and it will be completed."

However, Mr. Lin, as you know, I have only had a few dozen hours of contact with the technology of your world, and this is the first time I have ever attempted to integrate the technology and components of the two worlds.

Moreover, this is the Silent Canyon, which even I know very little about.

While I don't want to say anything discouraging, it's difficult to expect everything to develop exactly as theory and expectations suggest; I can only say I'll do my best.

Zhu Ning smiled helplessly.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. I'll try to make up for it when the time comes." Lin Li wasn't disappointed by this answer and nodded in response.

Soon, the last bit of time was up.

"See you next time."

Worried that Wu Min would need to get up at night, Lin Li left and returned both times from the bedroom.

I glanced at my phone; it was already past midnight.

December 31st, the last day of the Gregorian calendar.

Besides the calendar, there are also messages on the phone.

Bai Bufan: The flight still took off. Countless lives disappeared before my eyes. As the captain, I could do nothing but grip the control stick. To make matters worse, the network suddenly dropped and the plane crashed in Macau’s largest casino.

Bai Bufan: Lin Li, men always delete the Buddha when they're done and find the demon when they're done. After they're done, they feel they can't do it like this anymore, but after a while they feel they can't mistreat themselves.

Bai Bufan: But this time, I've made up my mind.

Bai Bufan: I will never do such a despicable thing again this year! This is my declaration of war, a declaration I'm making with everything on the line!

Lin Li: Neither excessive abstinence nor excessive indulgence is appropriate.

Lin Li: My plan this year is to have 12 sessions. Appropriate release is good for physical and mental health.

Bai Bufan: Friendly reminder: Today is the 31st, not the 1st.

Lin Li: I know.

Bai Bufan: OK.

Bai Bufan: Well, you released it very appropriately. (Heart emoji)
