The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 487 Lin Li felt his mind was still too highbrow.

There is a poem that says, "The winter wind knows my heart, chilling my soul to the bone."

But on this street, the wind can sometimes feel warm.

Even without the wind's assistance, the way some people were squatting or lying down was already pushing the boundaries of danger.

But Lin Li's gaze completely ignored these beings, as well as those groups consisting only of women.

I am neither a ride-hailing driver nor a taxi driver with a fixed taxi, and I am male, (in other words, a handsome male).

If a man drives up to you in the middle of the night and offers to take you home, most women would be wary and, for safety reasons, would absolutely not get in his car.

Of course, as a bar dancer who loves to rock on the street, coupled with his good looks, there will definitely be women willing to get on his ride.

Remember, there are three key elements to flirting with girls: modeling, finances, and legal action.

To achieve smooth gameplay, besides getting a new chicken on the spinning wheel, you also need to consume at least one of these elements.

Without modeling, you're just playing economic maneuvers.

Without an economy, you can only rely on maneuvering and modeling.

Without economics and modeling, the only option left is to resort to litigation.

Lin Li has a model, plus an economy that cannot be fully discounted, so it is certainly feasible. If you really intend to do it, you will definitely gain something, and you will certainly benefit from it afterward.

But that would be putting the cart before the horse.

Lin Li is here to complete the mission, not to pick up the corpses.

Besides, just yesterday... no, the day before yesterday, Yingbao and I were smacking our lips, and the pure love warrior was taking down a minotaur with a single slash!
Therefore, although the mission forces one to focus on women, these mentally unstable or, even if they are, largely indifferent imperial citizens are not only unsuitable, but should be avoided like the plague.

They must never be targeted.

Putting aside pure romance, wouldn't it be disgusting if these people threw up in the car? And what if they took advantage of your drunkenness to harass you?
Or they could simply turn the tables, expand their online community, fabricate accusations out of thin air, and pin the harassment label on themselves. There are no security cameras in the car, so who can they reason with?

Before Martin Luther King Jr. changed his name to Barbie Codd Water, before Mixue Ice Cream changed its name to Giant Tune Fire City, and before the formula for finding roots changed its name to the formula for finding mothers, Lin Li would never have given up thinking about the contradictions between the sexes with the greatest malice.

When you're out and about, guys must also take good care of themselves.

Therefore, Lin Li is not only wearing a mask to cover his face, but also believes that the most reasonable target is those groups that have both men and women.

Because of the presence of a man, whether he is a friend the girl met along the way or a flirtatious person after getting drunk, the girl traveling with her can rest assured that she doesn't need to take care of him when he acts crazy in the car. Even if he tries to torture her after sobering up, he can't torture the driver anyway, so it has nothing to do with her.

However, if it is indeed confirmed that it is a case of picking up a corpse, then Lin Li will still try to stop it from a moral standpoint.

Once the target scope is determined, the rest is quite simple.

When they passed the suitable target, Lin Li rolled down the car window and asked the most clear-headed member of the group:

"Hello, need a taxi? We can drive anywhere within Xiling, outside Xiling depends on the situation—"

In mixed-gender pairs, the one who is more sober is not necessarily the man. In some pairs, the women are relatively more sober.

However, Lin Li was very skeptical about the extent of these men's intoxication.

I always feel that as long as a girl whispers in a guy's ear, "I'm on my period tonight," these guys can immediately get up and do their exams while walking a tightrope on the Empire State Building and doing a beautiful upside-down hook.

Tonight is a weekday, so fewer people are out having fun and need to take taxis, but there are also very few people driving around at this hour.

Therefore, although most people either didn't need the money or had already gotten a taxi after the first round of inquiries, some people took the bait after waiting for a few minutes at the bar entrance.

How much is 900 Shangqing Road?

It was a man and a woman. The woman looked completely drunk and was leaning on the man. The man seemed to be doing alright. After hearing Lin Li's shout, he put away his phone, which he was about to use to hail a taxi, and asked Lin Li for directions.

"Three pieces, please."

Before coming, Lin Li had already searched and noted down the fares for various distances on ride-hailing apps for this location. Therefore, he immediately quoted a price that was cheaper than the one offered by the ride-hailing app, so that the two could be sure that they were there to "make money" and get in the car with peace of mind.

"Row."

The boy was clearly satisfied with the price. After nodding, he opened the car door, put his arm around the girl, and got in the car.

The smell of alcohol and perfume filled the car instantly. It wasn't appropriate to open the windows on a cold winter night, but [Wind Control] proved very useful at this time, allowing Lin Li to rediscover the meaning of cultivating immortality.

Unlike the last time he picked up office workers, Lin Li had no intention of chatting this time, nor did he play any music. After closing the car door, Lin Li drove to his destination without saying a word.

But I didn't see the mountain, yet the mountain came to see me all excitedly.

"Hmm—"

After driving for a few minutes, the girl in the back seat seemed to sober up a bit. After letting out a hawk-like cry, she shifted slightly in the boy's arms, opened her eyes, then closed them again, and asked:
"Where are we going?"

Boy: "My home."

"Huh? What would I do at your house?"

The boy, pecking at rice like a chick, said, "Yes, yes."

"Ugh~" The girl naturally understood what the boy meant, and then playfully hit him. "No way, I want to go home..."

But even Lin Li, let alone the boys, could tell that the girl wasn't resisting.

Tonight, it’s done!
Sure enough, after the boy pulled her a few more times, the girl nodded "reluctantly," but still said demurely, "But we can't do that kind of thing, um... I'm actually on my period."

It was clear from the tone of voice that the girl had not come at all.

The guy who had been drinking with her all night knew this too well, so he just smiled and said, "Oh, does it hurt? I happen to be a medical student, can you take a look at my wound?"

Even if they really come, it will only be a bloody battle!

"Hey, you pervert, seriously—" the girl glared at him.

"Okay, okay," the boy nodded again, then smiled and said:
"No, no, no, hey, how about this: the meaning of life is eating, drinking, and having fun. When we get back later, I'll let you eat, drink, and have fun all at the same time, okay?"

"Huh?" The girl was taken aback and asked curiously, "How do I do it?"

The boy first glanced up at the driver, whose eyes were fixed on the road and who seemed to completely ignore the two people in the back seat, before chuckling and whispering in the girl's ear: "Bite."

Lin Li raised an eyebrow slightly, noting that he actually had excellent hearing and could hear the boy clearly even when he deliberately lowered his voice.

The next second, he realized what was happening.

Grass.

You know what, the act of "biting" does, in a sense, perfectly satisfy the desires of eating, drinking, playing, and having fun all at once.

This person's lewdness and intelligence are probably superior to mine.

And how low could a woman's sexual intelligence be if she could play with a man like that? Hearing this, she reacted only a moment later than Lin Li, clicking her tongue twice before saying, "No."

The boy frowned slightly: "Why?"

Girl: "Qi."

The boy instantly felt relieved and chuckled.
"No problem, I don't need a spoon to eat from Planet Cups, I wake up every morning to find my blanket on the ceiling and can even play with it like an Indian roti, I get mistaken for a police baton and can't get through security, I can walk normally even with a broken leg, and I never need a cue to play pool..."

"I don't care about those things... I care more about whether you are a filial and respectful person..."

The girl didn't listen to the boy bragging; she interrupted him directly, and what she said was more positive in comparison.

"What constitutes being a truly filial son/daughter?" the boy couldn't help but ask.

Girl: "When taking care of my grandma, I won't forget my little sister."

Boy: "!"

"No problem, I'll take good care of you, not just Grandma and my sister. You know, I was planning to send you a rose tonight, but the bouquet fell off halfway there, leaving only the stem. I don't know if you still want it..."

Girl: "Yes, yes, please send it to me."

Boy: "Hehehe, what's our relationship now...?"

Girl: "Classmate."

Boy: "Hmm?"

Girl: "My classmate..."

"Hey hey hey..."

"Hey hey hey..."

Lin Li: "☉_☉"

The two of them were having a great time talking, one of them throwing out sentences here and there. Lin Li, who was eavesdropping, felt like he was going to die because nobody cared.

These two's "sex intelligence" is no longer a question of whether they are above others; translated into IQ, they have already led Earth out of the Milky Way and are vying for universe domination.

However, after hearing what they said, Lin Li suddenly felt that Master Jing wasn't such an expensive status after all.

After all, as long as you connect the two ends in Beijing, it's considered a Beijing household registration.

Worth.

My mind seems to have been contaminated by some strange knowledge. These two have really ruined me.

……

It was only a 20-minute journey, but in Lin Li's perception, it felt as long as two whole minutes.

Damn it, I was driving really slowly on purpose, but we still got here so fast! I haven't heard enough yet, there's still so much I want to learn.

For example, from the conversation between the two people in the back row, Lin Li learned a new term—"bar cultivation game".

At first glance, it might sound like it's about drinking until dawn to cultivate immortality, but that's not the case at all!

The meaning of cultivating immortality is—0! Qi! Recovery! Resurrection!

All I can say is that the Immortal Cultivation Bureau is Wang Ze's favorite wine.

Useful trivia has increased.

I'll tell Shanqing Daoren and Deng Wen next time.

"Here we are, you two."

But all good things must come to an end. They eventually arrived at the place the boy had given them, and Lin Li parked his car, saying with some reluctance.

"Thank you, driver. I've already scanned the fare."

Although he was a little puzzled as to why the driver looked at him with such a complicated expression, the young man nodded and said goodbye.

Lin Li frowned slightly as he watched the Smiths walk into the apartment building.

Because the system did not react until the two figures disappeared from Lin Li's sight.

Failed again.

Does it have to be an official platform?
Or is it because her commission was completed entirely under the instructions of the boy, and therefore did not meet the system's requirements?
Thinking alone cannot verify anything. Taking advantage of the time he still had, Lin Li immediately turned around and returned to Donghu District.

……

[Complete at least 10 requests from citizens of an unfamiliar empire while piloting a mech (1/10)]

Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the message notification that popped up on the system panel.

Just now, after Lin Li returned to Donghu District, he conducted an even more rigorous screening of passengers. This time, he was picking up a group of three passengers, one man and two women. However, it wasn't a case of one woman on each side; the two women stayed together, while the man was going to another place.

All three were relatively sober.

Because of the short distance, the boy was dropped off first. It was not surprising that the boy got off the bus, and the system did not give any response. However, when they arrived at the apartment building where the two girls lived, the system finally switched from offense to defense.

It seems that the previous assumption was correct.

Not only is it necessary for there to be female passengers on the bus, but the request must also be made by the woman herself in order to meet the system's requirements.

Although it's a bit harsh, it at least provides direction, so we no longer need to keep exploring like headless flies.

This task only requires 10 attempts, which isn't actually that many.

Strictly speaking, since we were able to complete this task tonight, as long as we spend time replicating tonight's approach, we can eventually finish it by grinding.

This can be considered a method, but it has a relatively low priority in Lin Li's mind.

After all, it's clear now that the bar street is full of people late at night. It's not appropriate for female-female groups to get into my car, whether for my own safety or the safety of the women. In male-female groups, the one who takes the lead and is responsible for confirming the destination and paying is usually the man.

There are relatively few suitable targets.

It is possible to complete, but it will take a relatively long time.

Lin Li was worried that if someone were to report him for illegally operating a rental car, it would be very troublesome to deal with.

Although bypassing the platform and eliminating middlemen should be a win-win situation where passengers pay less and drivers earn more, some people still report it.

Believe it or not, there really are people like this in the world. Lin Li reported one last time, which can be used as evidence.

So that's all for tonight.

Lin Li decided to follow the original plan and contact the drivers with cars and license plates after school in the evening.

……

in the afternoon.

"Alright, that's all the homework. Class representative, collect it and bring it to the office before the first period starts. After school, be careful on your way home."

When the school bell rang, Xue Jian, who was in charge of the last class on Fridays, finished assigning homework and announced the end of the semester.

Bu Fan is right, it really is great to have a day off on Wednesday.

Ignoring the cheering crowd, Xue Jian fixed his gaze on Lin Li and Bai Bufan and walked over:

"Have you two finished writing your self-criticisms?"

“Of course I wrote it. Teacher, you're so good to us, how could I not write it?” Lin Li took a piece of paper from the drawer, handed it to Xue Jian, and explained:

"I wanted to give it to you during the day, but you weren't in your office this morning."

"Heh." Xue Jian was too lazy to praise or scold, and glanced at the two people's self-criticisms.

It's really just a formality; as long as these two guys write something to express a superficial attitude, that's enough.

But sometimes, a single glance can last a lifetime.

Xue Jian, realizing that things were not so simple, narrowed his eyes: "Why are your self-criticisms the same?"

Lin Li and Bai Bufan: "Because we made the same mistake, it's reasonable for us to write the same self-criticism."

Xue Jian: "..."

Seeing Xue Jian begin to smile and inhale, with the veins on his hands bulging, Lin Li quickly stepped forward and handed him a new self-criticism:
"Teacher, I was just kidding. What I gave you just now was a photocopy of Bufan's self-criticism. This one is the one I made myself, without any reference or plagiarism."

Xue Jian: "..."

He didn't want to ask Lin Li why he specifically made a copy of Bai Bufan's self-criticism.

Haha, it couldn't be just to provoke myself at this moment, could it?

How can it be?

How could this be!

After glancing around a couple more times to make sure there were no problems this time, Xue Jian waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, alright, let's go home."

"Let's go! Lin Li, bye-bye!" Upon receiving the order, Bai Bufan immediately packed his things and left the classroom with Lin Li, finally parting ways at the school gate.

—Although he went home on Tuesday, the "three people and one dog" will not have a gathering this week. Lin Li plans to go to the movies and go shopping with Chen Yuying in a normal way. In addition, he didn't actually stay at home for a full day on Tuesday, so Bai Bufan will also go home this week.

Lin Li first rode his bike home to change into some casual clothes, and then rode his bike to his destination instead of driving.

—Nansang Station.

Almost every station has a taxi area, where ride-hailing cars or traditional taxis usually wait in line.

It's much more efficient to go directly to the area and negotiate with the drivers than to randomly find a driver using a ride-hailing app.

arrival.

Sure enough, there were quite a few cars waiting here.

However, there are basically no ride-hailing vehicles; they are all taxis with uniform color schemes and configurations.

Lin Li did not act rashly, but observed all the drivers from a distance, looking for a suitable person to negotiate with.

Grinding firewood won't delay your chopping.

All living beings are diverse.

Someone is waiting for the bus with anticipation.

Some people are playing on their phones to pass the time.

Someone was sticking their head out of the car window and shouting angrily:

"Damn it, who set their Bluetooth name to 'An Old Sow'?"

"Damn it, fine, you can set it up, but why does it keep showing 'A sow is trying to mate with me'?!"

"Damn it, it even says 'I'm not a match, pairing failed'!"

"Who the hell is this?! Are you crazy?!"

Numerous innocent perpetrators: "()"

Tsk.

Look, this person couldn't even pass such a simple test. One look and you know they have a bad temper and a terrible personality. You're out!
