CHAPTER 167: CHAPTER 144: THERE ARE MORE BROTHERS IN THIS WORLD

The bed at home is always the most comfortable.

Or maybe it’s because Bao Wei, the Tractor Force, isn’t buzzing incessantly in my ears anymore.

Groggily, Lin Li turned off the phone alarm, reached for the mobile-controlled power source by the bedside, attached the positive clip to his left hand and the negative clip to his right hand, and turned it on.

"Hiss—" As the current surged through his body, Lin Li gasped.

He remembered, the memories of being a mom all came flooding back to him from the day before yesterday, and he immediately felt wide awake.

Feeling energized.

Detaching the charging clips from his fingers, Lin Li nodded with satisfaction. Isn’t this more effective than rubbing your eyes and washing your face?

He opened the system marketplace to redeem today’s "Random Spirit Stone" and "Limit-Breaking Talisman."

Ugh, why is it low-grade again? Do gamblers never get a house?

Haven’t won even once up to now, even a medium-grade would be fine.

After today’s spending, he still has 860 system currency left, and the inventory consists of four spirit stones and two limit-breaking talismans—originally supposed to be eight, but Lin Li used four spirit stones last night to improve his Purity and Righteousness Thunder-Controlling Body.

Effort does bring rewards. Lin Li glanced at his left hand, two fingers followed his thoughts and emitted arcs that connected together, though not very visible during the day, the faint electric popping could be heard.

With the Purity and Righteousness Thunder-Controlling Body’s effect boosted by 200%, consuming four spirit stones, Lin Li made significant progress in tolerance, storage, and discharge of electricity.

The maximum distance the electric arc can attack has reached five to six centimeters.

Short indeed, but quite cute.

The me of yesterday was a useless waste in the Cultivation Realm, but today is different from the past, today I would be a slightly useful waste in the Cultivation Realm.

That’s equivalent to evolving from non-recyclable trash to recyclable trash, a qualitative change.

If Lin Li were to have a child again, even without a husband’s hand transferring power, he should be able to manage it.

Unknown big shot in Thunder Path, I’ll remember this debt, someday I’ll let you soar too.

Before freshening up and practicing the Body Refining Eighth Rank Technique, noticing his phone’s breathing light was on, Lin Li opened it to see who sent a message.

It turned out to be an @all members from the class QQ group, clicked in:

"Xue Jian: @all members, during the holidays, remember to balance work and rest. Rest should be moderate, and learning should also be moderate. Too much of either is not good."

Sent at 0:56 AM.

Below are responses from those night owls who haven’t slept yet, saying "received," despite not having worked before, they possess the soul of a laborer.

Lin Li actually didn’t want to reply.

But the "+1" in the QQ group was too tempting; not pressing +1 must be someone extraordinary, so Lin Li really couldn’t resist clicking it.

After clicking, Lin Li started pondering, what’s the point of such @ messages in the dead of night?

Guessing that the school’s teaching tasks were assigned again, prompting Xue Jian to remind everyone to study in the middle of the night.

But Xue Jian did remind him. Lin Li sat at his desk, took a posed photo of studying, and sent it to Bai Bufan:

"Lin Li: ’Picture’."

"Lin Li: Old Jian’s reminder was spot on."

"Lin Li: So I’ve already started lear...ning...already..."

"Lin Li: Can’t continue studying, damn it, not studying anymore, plan to play games all day today, hehe, just kidding."

When Bai Bufan wakes up, his phone screen on WeChat will only show the latest message he sent, but due to screen limitations, won’t display fully.

So when Bai Bufan opens WeChat, he can only see a red number 4 and in the chat bar "Can’t continue studying, damn it, not studying anymore..."

Lin Li could imagine how happy Bai Bufan would be upon seeing this sentence, joyously clicking in, only to leave red-faced.

This is what you call attention to detail, this is what you call clickbait, the UC News Department should really hire me.

[Study the Body Refining Eighth Rank Technique diligently before 5:00 AM for a consecutive month, accumulating at least half an hour before 7:00 AM (9/30)]

Today’s one-hour practice was all about Spiritual Qi Chapters, so Lin Li did it in the living room and didn’t go downstairs, Xiaozhou, see you another day.

Spiritual Qi Chapters aren’t tiring, Lin Li didn’t even break a sweat, and chose not to study but instead decided to go downstairs now, had breakfast and went to the entrance of the community.

His system currently only has three tasks.

Monthly test ranking and early morning exercise, neither of these can be accelerated, even if trying hard on Mid-Autumn, can’t complete, so naturally Lin Li’s focus is on the Escort door task.

He squatted at the entrance of the community for half a day but didn’t see a single delivery rider.

"Damn, on holiday weekends in the morning, in this old community, those who order takeout won’t get up at this time, and those who wake up at this time won’t order takeout," Lin Li realized belatedly.

Riding his bicycle, he headed for a slightly newer community nearby.

Such communities often have young people who sleep early, who might likely order breakfast delivery.

Of course, when Lin Li says sleep early—he means they would finish breakfast and then sleep.

As expected, after squatting for less than half a minute, an Escort was spotted parking at the gate, holding takeout and jogging inside.

However, Lin Li didn’t approach because this Escort looked a bit older, feeling it might be difficult to communicate, his target remained those younger, with less communication gap, easy-to-talk delivery riders.

...

Target locked.

When the person came out of the community without any takeout and was looking at their phone, Lin Li immediately stepped forward: "Bro."
