Chapter 230: Chapter 192: Can it be stolen? Lin Li got a famous blade, Si Ming!
Although in Tokyo University, the best compliment for a good dessert is that it’s not sweet, but it shouldn’t be bitter either.
Lin Li kind of misses Bao Wei.
Without Bao Wei, he could only throw it in the trash can.
Fortunately, he didn’t make much.
He stepped on the trash can pedal, the lid opened, and Lin Li threw the garbage inside.
After a brief silence by the trash can, Lin Li jogged back to the table, saying to Bai Bufan, "Bufan, put your foot out."
"I’m really not afraid of tickling." Bai Bufan bravely extended his foot.
Lin Li stretched out a leg and stepped on it.
Bai Bufan: "?"
"What are you doing? Rewarding me?"
Chen, Ding, Qu: "?"
Lin Li started to use force.
"Holy crap! What are you doing?!" Bai Bufan, feeling some pain, retracted his foot and demanded an answer.
"The more I think about it, the scarier it is. I’ve discovered that if you step hard on a human’s foot, they’ll open their mouth, and how wide depends on how hard you step. I might have found a secret: humans possibly evolved from trash cans."
Lin Li covered his mouth, his voice both horrified and frantic.
The three girls seemed to be pondering.
Bai Bufan: "..."
You damn...
"Lin Li, that time when you had a fever during the heavy rain as a kid, when your mom took you to the hospital, did she go to the wrong place? Did she end up at the pet hospital?" Bai Bufan sincerely asked.
Lin Li: "..."
Such aggression, to think this incident left a notable mark in Lin Li’s elementary school essay history.
He actually wanted to use it again in high school, but it wouldn’t score well.
"You’ve hurt my insecure, sensitive, and fragile self." Lin Li said with his head down, "Thankfully, I have toenail fungus."
"What’s the advantage of toenail fungus... Huh? Damn you!!" Bai Bufan looked at the feet rubbing against each other and shouted before huddling toward the bathroom, clutching his foot.
"Just kidding, my feet are fair and tender with no disease. I even trimmed my nails specially yesterday." Lin Li explained to the girls after Bai Bufan rolled away with relief.
"Who calls their own feet ’fair feet’?" Ding Sihan found it inexplicably amusing.
Lin Li was about to respond when he saw the system notification.
[Task three complete]
[Do you want to use "Random Reward Double Card (3/3)"?]
[You have chosen to use it.]
[You have received the reward: Physical Improvement: Insight increase by 20%; Divine Sense enhancement by 200%; Random Artifact*1.]
A refreshing sensation deep inside, like skating on clouds.
The reward doubled for Divine Sense, from 100% to 200%.
Not too bad a doubling; using the "Duck Blood Bottle" from the [Warehouse] definitely won’t be so strenuous now, emotions won’t deplete before finishing oneself.
"The monthly exam rankings are out, by the way." Qu Wanqiu, looking at her phone, said, "Xue Jian posted them in the class group."
"Ding Sihan, don’t look at your phone just yet. Want to make a bet with me?" Lin Li looked at Ding Sihan, who was reaching for her phone, stopping and enticing her.
"Huh? Bet on what?" Ding Sihan asked, a bit puzzled.
"Bet whether I made it into the top hundred of the grade! The stake is..." Lin Li was ready to make this sure-win bet.
"No bet." But before Lin Li could finish, Ding Sihan declined uninterestedly, "Every subject teacher praised you for your great improvement. You definitely made it."
Darn it, dumb Ding Sihan got smarter.
Lin Li sat cross-legged and took out his phone too.
Perhaps to protect students’ self-esteem, the list Xue Jian posted only had rankings without specific subject scores. Lin Li not only made it into the top hundred—he wasn’t even on the edge—with a total score of 1052 across ten subjects, ranking fourth in the class and 51st in the grade.
Almost made it into the top fifty.
Thankfully, it’s only freshman year; the difficulty for a comeback is indeed not high.
Chen Yu Ying ranked sixth in the grade, and ahead of her were those little geniuses from the first, second, and third competition classes.
Lin Li advanced nearly 400 places—a breakthrough star surely, and he wasn’t the only one in class four who made it on that list. This time, Bai Bufan, ranked 272 in the grade and also advanced over 150 places, was included as well.
Lin Li checked the artifact.
[You have acquired the artifact "Substitute Jade-faced Buddha"]
[Substitute Jade-faced Buddha: After refining, automatically triggers upon the owner’s death-inducing injury, swallowing the damage and protecting the owner for 3-60 seconds, and returns the previously input Qi Blood and spirit to the owner.
Once triggered, it is completely destroyed and disappears.]
Lin Li widened his eyes.
Whoa, a Blade of Divine Fate!
In his life, Han Xin had two benefactors, one named Xiao He, the other Meng Lei.
The value of this artifact is almost absurdly high.
If in the Cultivation Realm, Lin Li’s "Duck Blood Bottle" in his hand was exposed, cultivators might scoff at it, even see it as a toy—after all, there are many things to resist such artifacts, many cultivators are not affected at all.
But this "Substitute Jade-faced Buddha" is definitely considered a BUG-level artifact, surely capable of inciting chaos.
Lin Li really needs such a backup artifact now.
Though it’s rarely needed in modern times, the problem is that Lin Li has a beautiful lady waiting for him to take her hand.
The artifact can provide at least ’three seconds’ of protection at ’death’, which is enough time for Lin Li to click ’return’.
It’s like getting an extra life.
Upon seeing this artifact, he instantly felt that the hard study in September was worthwhile.
Lin Li was in a great mood, even humming a familiar tune, though he himself didn’t know exactly what it was.
"Lin Li: How invincible—how lonely—@Wang Yuezhi"
Lin Li hadn’t forgotten his agreement with Wang Yuezhi.
