Chapter 110 - 102: Tribute to the Legendary Horse Hunter

A man should kneel only for a worthy cause. Lin Li immediately apologized. It was clear that Ding Sihan was just as magnanimous as he was, so she accepted the apology at once. Apart from occasionally giving him a venomous glare like Nanny Rong’s towards Ziwei, she didn’t have much of a reaction. Being forgiving is a good trait, Lin Li gave her some brownie points for that. However, he had to be more cautious when crossing the street later and make sure to stand behind her, otherwise, he might really end up tripping a big truck. After getting Chen Yu Ying to help pacify things a bit longer, Lin Li turned his attention to the reward. He hadn’t yet paid attention to what ability he had gained this time. [You have acquired an active ability: Mimicry.] [Mimicry: You can imitate a behavior pattern, skill, or ability you’ve witnessed in person within the past month for one hour after use. You will gain 50% to 150% proficiency, determined by your physical fitness and the difference between your ability and that of the person you are imitating.] You accumulate one usage opportunity every 48 hours, with a maximum storage capacity of two. Another active ability. And it looks quite useful too. For instance, Lin Li could now choose Xiaojing, whom he saw at Tianhong, and mimic her seductive dance that cost 299 in front of him. His own body flexibility might not equal that of Tianhong Xiaojing, so maybe he could replicate 70% to 80% of the sexiness? No, that’s not right. He almost forgot that he also knows ballet. He’s technically a dancer with "systematic training," with quite a bit of dance techniques in his memory. With these foundations, he might even dance more seductively than Tianhong Xiaojing. The most commendable point about this ability is that it assures at least a 50% mimicry effect. But whether he can only mimic that 299 dance or mimic Xiaojing’s entire dance ability to dance other routines, remains to be verified later on through usage. It takes two days to accumulate one usage opportunity, which is quite a while. Right now, it’s only about ten minutes until they reach the hotel, and the remaining time isn’t even enough to listen to a piece for English listening practice. Relax a bit. Lin Li simply stood up and crawled forward to see what Wang Ze and the others were doing. Wang Ze was playing chess with Zhang Haoyang. The sporty jock being crushed by the smart couch potato, Wang Ze’s opponent was trying to multitask, still playing on a game console, Zhang Haoyang. The battle was one-sided. Wang Ze seemed to start moving Zhang Haoyang’s pieces. "Get lost, Haoyang, playing with you is no fun, I want to play with Lin Li!" Noticing Lin Li’s gaze, the brainstorming Wang Ze immediately found someone equally matched to compete with. "Okay." Zhang Haoyang didn’t even look up. "Come on, Lin Li, let’s have a round." "OK." "I’m Red, and I go first." Lin Li accepted the challenge, committed to a cannon attack, and laughed, "Haha, Wang Ze, you’ve lost your horse." Wang Ze: "..." At this point, capturing the cannon with the chariot was the sure win, but his hand instinctively pressed on his cannon. It was a matter of horse dignity. Revenge was necessary. But at that moment, Lin Li’s hand pressed down on Wang Ze’s hand. Wang Ze looked up to see Lin Li shaking his head, "I concede, Wang Ze, you’re strong, though you’ve lost your horse, you won, fortunately, I’m the loser but still have my horse." Wang Ze: "?" "You’re saying your goal in the game was just to kill my horse, right?" Wang Ze roared. "One more game! I’m on the red side now!" Wang Ze was determined to reclaim his honor. "Then I concede now, Wang Ze, you’re strong, you’ve won twice, lost only a horse, now let’s start the third game, and I’m on the red side again." Lin Li excitedly rubbed his hands together. Wang Ze: "?" "You lost, you’re a loser!" "Yes, I’m a loser, but your horse is gone." "..." "Get lost, Lin Li, Haoyang, let’s continue!" Wang Ze decided he would never play chess with Lin Li, this legendary Horse Hunter, again in his life. "The skill gap is huge, if you want to win, Wang Ze, use your horse well." True masters find loneliness in boredom, it seems like no more chess is to be played, Lin Li patted Wang Ze on the shoulder, advising this junior. "What nonsense are you spewing? Show some respect to my horse." Horses matter, Wang Ze was very cautious, even covering both horses with his hand. "No harm done, rumor says you can win quickly with a horse and a player, just wanted to share the trick." Lin Li said. Zhang Haoyang pulled his gaze from the game console, looked at the board, moved a piece, and then addressed Lin Li, "Time Circus super topic, who’s Lin Li?" "Couldn’t let them go either." The chess here wasn’t thrilling, nor was there a sacrificial horse for him, so Lin Li looked over to see what Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei were doing. They were farming. "Such an economic disparity, better surrender, can’t play without money." Zhou Baowei frowned heavily. He was playing with Han Xin, 2/1/3, and starting with two kills with red and blue buffs is basic for Han Xin in the early game. "Bao Wei, aren’t you a bit too materialistic? Do you only see money in your eyes?" Bai Bufan frowned and said from hearing that, "I don’t like a materialistic man like you." Zhou Baowei took a deep breath, Lin Li saw his fist clench for a moment. Lin Li checked out the situation; oh, Bai Bufan was playing Diao Chan in the solo lane, 0/11/3, Bao Wei’s materialism was all because of his useless losses. "Bao Wei, your temperament is pretty good." Lin Li gave a thumbs up. Nothing worth watching here either. Well, it’s better to study, ten minutes is still ten minutes, learning even a little bit counts. ... The bus slowing down made Lin Li lean forward. The bus stopped. Lin Li looked around, noticing that it didn’t look like a hotel outside. "There’s a height limit on the road ahead, our bus can’t get through, so we have to walk a bit, it’s not far, just around a hundred meters. Everyone check your belongings and take everything when you disembark. Tomorrow’s ride might not be the same bus." Xue Jian got up and explained. "Lin Li, are you crazy! Studying right now?" Perhaps because she saw Lin Li’s phone screen while looking outside, Ding Sihan’s face turned white. It was terrifying. "This is how a good student is." Lin Li said proudly. "Are you referring to watching a variety show with Yu Ying for two hours, putting on makeup with us for an hour, then sleeping for an hour, and finally studying for ten minutes as a good student, right?" Ding Sihan counted meticulously on her fingers. Lin Li: "..." Plans can never keep up with changes. "Why are you so concerned about me? Ding Sihan, are you secretly in love with me?" Lin Li counterattacked immediately. "Quack!" The girl who initially wanted to say ’Get lost’ accidentally said ’Quack’ because she spoke too quickly and immediately covered her mouth. But the little rascal, Lin Li, wouldn’t let this opportunity pass, transforming into a toad immediately: "Quack, quack, quack!" Ding Sihan’s face turned red with anger: "Watch out when you cross the street later!" Bu Hao might really hit the jackpot. Lin Li felt a chill down his back and nudged Chen Yu Ying with his elbow: "Class monitor, save me."
