Chapter 141 - 127: This filthy and wicked world, I will destroy it!

Because the link contained an address, Xue Jian quickly arrived at the crime scene and understood the situation. And when the shop owner said it was okay, this wouldn’t affect their business, and could even increase the shop’s popularity, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Where are Lin Li and the others? Have they already left?" Xue Jian asked the people present. Among those present, Lin Li was not there, and no matter how much Xue Jian scrolled through his friends’ circle, he couldn’t see Lin Li sharing this post. But Xue Jian firmly believed that in situations like this, Lin Li would have definitely participated and was very likely the mastermind. He just knew Lin Li too well. The reason he couldn’t see the repost was probably because he was blocked. Being blocked as a teacher is very normal, Xue Jian wasn’t going to be mad about it, surely not just Lin Li, he couldn’t see Wang Ze’s posts either, who was screaming on the spot after being shocked. Stay calm. Xue Jian updated the notes of each student present whose posts he couldn’t see, just marked them simply. Focus on them later on. Ha, Xue Jian never blocked a teacher’s QQ or WeChat when he was in school. —Although back then there wasn’t QQ or WeChat. "Just left, probably went to the restroom." Zhang Haoyang replied upon hearing. Sure enough, this kid would never miss out on something like this. "Alright, you guys can have fun, but remember not to affect their business." Xue Jian nodded, aware that his presence made everyone uncomfortable, advised them not to disturb others, and then left. ... "Big city is big city, even the restrooms have an artistic vibe." Arriving at the restroom, Lin Li gave a thumbs up. Tingyu Pavilion, Waterfall Pavilion. Would it kill them to simply write male or female? And some restrooms only use W and M to differentiate the men’s and women’s, sure it’s easy for those who’ve learned simple English, but for older or less educated people, it’s no different from not writing anything? One can only say that some of these designers have some issues, all about art, without considering practicality. "Brothers, trust me, Tingyu Pavilion is the men’s room, didn’t you see there’s a male sign here?" Bai Bufan was very confident, pointing at the men’s room sign to explain. "You’re right, but dude, go to Waterfall, you go to Tingyu." Lin Li and Zhou Baowei didn’t bother with this. "No no no–" Done with business there. The three had paper but didn’t use it, instead used each other’s clothes to wipe their hands. "So what’s the plan, now that we’ve got money, where should we go spend it?" Lin Li asked. "You’re planning to share the money with us?" Zhou Baowei, upon hearing, was somewhat surprised. "I absolutely deserve a share, I was shocked alongside him for quite a while!" Bai Bufan looked righteous. This hundred fifty has his sweat and effort! Just now the great-grandma invited him to dinner several times, Bai Bufan finally managed to refuse. "As the saying goes, all who see it have a share, we’re all brothers here, let’s not fuss over electric shocks or not, Bao Wei even played the role of son, fifty per person, hurry up, show me your mobile payment code." Lin Li didn’t want to fuss over these unexpected earnings, waved it off generously. "Thanks, mom!" Suddenly, Zhou Baowei’s smile turned flattering, looking at Lin Li like he was a big spender, using his own clothes to help Lin Li wipe his hands. "This is rightly mine." Bai Bufan, thick-skinned, displayed his QR code. Lin Li scanned the code, transferred fifty to each. The two gradually fell silent in their joy. Upon clearly seeing the amount, Zhou Baowei tiptoed and pressed his forehead against Lin Li’s, glaring fiercely: "Is my fifty fifty cents?" He received 0.50. Bai Bufan was initially about to get angry, but upon hearing he laughed, hey! Look at this! His was fifty cents, a solid ten times Bao Wei’s. Haha, nice! As long as he wasn’t the worst off. "Mainly fifty cents feels a bit stingy." Fifty cents is five jiao. "Should I be thanking you then!" Zhou Baowei gritted his teeth, Lin Li even brought out the jiao unit. "I only said fifty per person, I didn’t specify the unit." Lin Li feigned innocence, spreading his hands as he walked ahead: "Come on, now that the money’s in hand, it’s time for us to indulge in luxury spending." "With a whopping fifty cents in hand, now it feels like everyone I see is after my fortune." Following behind, Zhou Baowei said in a sarcastic tone. "Getting rich feels like that, I got four hundred fifty in cows’ heads, even more anxious." Bai Bufan, too, acted sneaky, with a sense of mischief. "Tsk, just joking, let’s go, for today, any spending under a hundred forty is on me." Lin Li really didn’t care much about this unexpected windfall, said with a smile, but quickly added sternly: "A hundred forty yuan." Units matter a lot. Look at Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei, their eyes bright before sank to dim after his correction. Bai Bufan’s plan to buy out this shopping center was dashed. ... "Thank you for your contributions to the welfare cause." Seeing the words on the lottery machine, Lin Li looked at the two: "Quit gambling." The three each bought a ten-dollar scratch card, none won, unwilling to accept defeat, they checked a second time with the machine before accepting the result. Not even a single break-even ten bucks given. "I quit too." Bai Bufan sighed. "Hey, Bufan, what do you think about us making a bet? Let’s see which one of us can quit gambling for longer this time?" Lin Li, always the idea guy in a trio, suddenly excitedly turned around and said. "Sure, how much are we betting? My resolve to quit gambling is unbreakable!" Great idea, Bai Bufan’s fighting spirit was ignited. "Damn! Are you guys quitting some dam or something over there?" Zhou Baowei, nearby, laughed and cursed upon hearing this. One in every four car accidents is caused by playing with a phone while driving. Lin Li: Can’t be me. Out of every 302,575,350 people playing the lottery, one person wins the jackpot. Lin Li: You never know. Anyway, it’s not like they’d waste all one hundred and fifty; about thirty went to charity donations, and the three of them then headed to the snack street in the basement of the shopping center. Let the body enjoy it too; the body worked hard today, a little bite for today, and a real pampering after getting home tomorrow night. ... "Lin Li, how did you manage to last? I didn’t even make it to level ten; I couldn’t take it at level nine." On the bus return to base, Wang Ze turned to look at Lin Li, who was eating a fruit salad, a bit confused. "This is how we sports students are. I know what you’re going to say, but I’m at the pinnacle of the half-step sports student first level Great Perfection, while you’re just at the beginner stage of the walking sports student first level small perfection." Lin Li said casually. Wang Ze: "... But at least I have the Euro step." Reverse against the Big Dipper. What a hierarchical alliance system. Wang Ze wasn’t embarrassed; in fact, half the boys were curious and tried it, but other than Lin Li, no one could completely endure it. Lasting till level nine was already rare. They all suspected the shop deliberately adjusted the difficulty. "You’re really awesome, I need to look up to you." Although being jabbed at, Wang Ze not only tolerated it but also praised him. "Eat it if you want, the rest is yours, don’t gross me out." Lin Li handed over the fruit salad, a bit disgusted. "You know me well." Wang Ze unceremoniously took it, inhaled it like a storm, then spat out some bitten watermelon seeds, and frowned: "Why are there seeds? I’m very displeased; I don’t like spitting watermelon seeds. Lin Li, watch it next time." "I can’t do this, no seedless version." Wang Ze, the annoying outsider who came to beg, gave a thumbs-up and mumbled something after which he turned his head back to enjoy the fruit salad. "Class rep, how did you manage to buy so many things in just two hours?" Lin Li asked curiously, stretching and looking at Chen Yu Ying, who now had several more shopping bags and packages compared to when they came. "Just kept buying and buying, and it piled up," Chen Yu Ying smiled apologetically, "Is it squeezing you? Sorry." "If one day I can shop like Ying Bao without looking at the prices, that’d be great," Ding Sihan said with envy in her eyes upon hearing. "Just open a buy now, pay later account," Lin Li leaned over and gave a practical suggestion. Ding Sihan: "..." "I even got you a gift, Lin Li, I’m not giving it to you now!" Ding Sihan said angrily. "What?" Lin Li turned his head, eyes widening to look at Ding Sihan. Chen Yu Ying also turned, surprised, to look at Ding Sihan. Ding Sihan’s eyes were so captivating, they even... even, even had eyeballs! "Oh, my fairy, I spoke a bit too loudly just now, scared you, I’m really sorry." A true man can humble himself. In front of a fairy, adopting a humble demeanor isn’t out of the question, so Lin Li said humbly: "Please, I really need it, the biggest wish of my life is to receive a gift." Perhaps due to Lin Li’s decent attitude, Ding Sihan soon forgave him. "Wait a moment, I’ll get it for you." Ding Sihan took out a gift box from beside her, opened it; it was a crystal ball. "Such a beautiful crystal ball, I love it~" Lin Li started praising it even before getting a clear look, because in such moments, emotional value is a must. Once got, he’ll just post on second-hand trading platforms as a student-used 99% new item, hehe. Kidding, the gift should still be treasured. "It looks nice, doesn’t it? I liked it a lot too, that’s why I bought it." Getting acknowledgment, Ding Sihan nodded, looked at it wistfully again. Then she took out the bubble wrap that covered the crystal ball, placed it in Lin Li’s outstretched hand, and after admiring the crystal ball one last time, happily placed it back in the box, then into her bag. "..." Wait a minute. "So my gift... was this?" Lin Li squinted at the bubble wrap in his hand, questioning. "What did you think?" Ding Sihan’s face was a grotesque mix of fake confusion and extreme ugliness. "To be honest, that crystal ball was super ugly, I just can’t understand who’d buy such a thing, it’s like an intelligence tax, the buyer really has no taste, you think I liked it for real? If I received it, the first thing I’d do is toss it in the trash; it’s disgustingly awful." Lin Li clutched the bubble wrap, full of disdain. "So sour, who’s eating pickled cucumbers? Can you add it to my fruit salad?" Wang Ze, still eating the fruit salad, pinched his nose and turned to ask, but halfway through, got pressed back by Lin Li’s hand. Hearing Lin Li say that, Ding Sihan didn’t get mad, instead, she laughed even more happily, "Ying Bao bought one too, just that small box by your feet." "..." "Really?" Lin Li turned to confirm. Chen Yu Ying innocently nodded. "Speaking of which——" "How should we bring it back?" Ding Sihan’s face was full of anticipation. After thinking for a long time, Lin Li burst into laughter. What he said earlier was indeed too much, he gave Ding Sihan a thumbs up: "Damn, you won." Ding Sihan was so wicked, she wasn’t like this just a week ago; which beast in the trenches spoiled her?
