Chapter 99 - 91: The Inventive Genius is Truly Bai Bufan

It can be concluded that the system’s determination for sparring doesn’t require the other party to know that the electricity is coming from oneself. As long as the other party knowingly heads toward the mountain with electricity, it’s enough. Turns out it’s that simple to call it sparring, just like last time’s fake match was also acknowledged, same principle. System, you’ve done well, the most anthropomorphic one yet. The thought process for completing the task quickly appeared in Lin Li’s mind. All I need to do is bring an electric toy. When the time comes, all I need to do is remove the battery, then openly tell everyone that I have this electric toy in my hand, and they’ll ’know’ there’s electricity here. As long as the other party touches it, and I release electricity, it’s considered sparring, and I can complete the task. It’s a pity I don’t have... wait, no, I really do have something with me. Lin Li took out a piezoelectric igniter from his pants pocket. "So it was you, the culprit of this CS prank!" Bai Bufan, who had been secretly observing Lin Li while searching for the source of the desk’s electricity, jumped with excitement when he saw the object and rushed to snatch it. And then he got electrocuted. "Alright, now it’s mine. Left zero, right fire, Lei Gong help me!" After getting shocked a few times, Bai Bufan finally managed to snatch it and aimed at Lin Li’s neck. Lin Li sneered contemptuously, opting to just grip his hand. "Snap!" Bai Bufan started pondering life in confusion—why, even though the wires were on Lin Li’s face, was he the one getting shocked? ... During recess. "My dear friend, I am actually a disciple of the Thunder Technique. Dare you spar with me?" As soon as morning self-study ended, Lin Li walked up to Zhou Baowei, igniter in hand, and said seriously. Bai Bufan, who was ready to watch the show, was stunned. Do you even know how to play? Just zap him, why the formalities? Zhou Baowei turned his head. Upon seeing what Lin Li was holding, he instantly retreated with his chair: "You’re forthright for not ambushing, but let’s skip this, pal. I’m actually Burmese, so I’m immune to electricity." "What a punny hell joke. Isn’t Burma a major electricity consumer? Come on, give it a shot. Getting shocked is quite fun." Lin Li smiled as he continued approaching. "Really, no need, pal," Zhou Baowei, whose hands were now too nervous to approach Lin Li, explained, "I already know if it’s fun or not. I’m an Apple user, and with their darn cables, I often get shocked." Rolling over onto a charger line in bed, numb all night long, five bucks on electricity, three of which go into me. That’s the charm of an Apple cable, ensuring nothing goes to waste. Lin Li pondered: "Baowei, is that leaky data cable of yours still around? Lend it to me." Zhou Baowei: "?" "Alright, quit dodging. Let’s spar a bit and see if your physique or my Thunder Technique is mightier!" Unable to retreat any further in his seat, Zhou Baowei found some respite when Lin Li firmly pressed a finger against his neck, a slight electric current flowing through. [Sparring with ten fellow cultivators using Qingzheng Thunder Control Technique (2/10)] It really worked, and the focus was on sparring, not debate. ——Lin Li didn’t discuss big thunder or small thunder with Zhou Baowei, yet it was recorded in the data. Thus, this task became even easier to complete. "Eh, why does it just feel tingly? It’s quite comfortable. Lin Li, give it another go." Zhou Baowei stretched his once-tensed neck, saying in surprise. Lin Li smiled subtly. Just now, there was no feeling because the igniter’s electrode was actually aimed at himself, while Zhou Baowei only felt the faint current Lin Li released. Now it’s time to get serious. "Ah!!" ... Having mastered the method, just go around electrocuting people one by one. [Sparring with ten fellow cultivators using Qingzheng Thunder Control Technique (9/10)] [Sparring with ten fellow cultivators using Qingzheng Thunder Control Technique (10/10)] Before the first class, Lin Li finally completed the task, electrocuting all the guys he knew. [Task four completed.] [You have received rewards: Physical Improvement: Purity and Righteousness Thunder-Controlling Body effect increased by 50%; Thunder Seed*1; System Currency*50] [Speed that terrifies! In just a single day, you vanquished multiple fiends with Thunder Technique and sparred with many fellow cultivators. Why not apply these strengths, delve into the mysteries of Thunder Technique, and achieve Thunder Body to vanquish more fiends?] [Timed task triggered!] [Task One: Within twelve hours, spar with a hundred fellow cultivators using Qingzheng Thunder Control Technique and vanquish at least a hundred fiends with it.] [Reward: Physical Improvement: Purity and Righteousness Thunder-Controlling Body effect increased by 50%; Title: Thunder Caller; System Currency*100] [Thunder Caller: With this title, increase the wearer’s insight and perception towards lightning-related things or people, becoming more acute. At the same time, nearby moveable lightning-related things or people will start gravitating toward you subconsciously, developing a slight sense of closeness, with this effect growing stronger over time, reaching its peak after three days of wearing.] What a moving lightning rod. A lightning rod prioritizes channeling lightning onto itself before conducting the current from inside the rod to the ground through grounding wires. Call it a lightning rod, but it’s really an attraction device, similar to my title’s effect. Getting this title after rainstorms won’t be worn else you’ll get strikes that leave you with black and blue marks. But wearing this in the Cultivation Realm possibly equals an acquired lightning attribute body. Like beating the Blood Crow before, the limited-time task stems from fast completion, yet this task isn’t easy. Killing a hundred fiends is simple, just keep squashing mosquitoes. But sparring with a hundred people. Let’s not even mention the embarrassment of zapping girls or the somewhat unfamiliar Wang Yuezhi; even if they all got zapped, Lin Li doesn’t even know a hundred people at school. Can’t just indiscriminately zap people in the hallway with the igniter, writing a reflection is minor, getting sent to a mental hospital is major. However, seeing (0/100), Lin Li still had something to do. He glanced at Bai Bufan: "Bufan, I’ve cultivated Peach Blossom Eyes. Come, have a staring contest with me, I guarantee you’ll feel electrified." Bai Bufan looked at the igniter that Lin Li blatantly brought out and moved closer: "?" Who the heck calls physical electric shocks "Peach Blossom Eyes"!? "No-no... ah!!!" [Sparring with a hundred fellow cultivators using Qingzheng Thunder Control Technique (1/100)] Whew—thankfully, the previous zaps still count. ... "Lin Li." Bai Bufan suddenly poked Lin Li’s arm. "What’s up?" This time Lin Li responded to Bai Bufan. Now in General Technology class, currently explaining orthographic views, which are quite simple, anyone with decent spatial imagination won’t make mistakes, so Lin Li needn’t listen as intently as before when completing tasks, and class is about to end. Lin Li was also pondering how to achieve the hundred-man task. [Sparring with a hundred fellow cultivators using Qingzheng Thunder Control Technique (13/100)] After electrocuting everyone he knew, the count reached 13. "Do you know how to spell the word for chest?" "Chest." Having already memorized the C starting words, Lin Li instantly replied. "Ah? There’s such a word?" Bai Bufan scratched his head, baffled. "You mean boob?" Lin Li asked. This one’s on me. The English words Bai Bufan remembers aren’t exactly the noblest. Bai Bufan is multilingual, but if it’s non-vulgar, non-swearing words, he’s at a loss. "Exactly, I finally figured out where this word came from." Bai Bufan seriously looked at Lin Li, emphasizing each word. "Go on." Lin Li knew whatever Bai Bufan would say next would probably be nonsense, but he was curious anyway. As Red Stone King should be aware. "It’s inspiration from this class," Bai Bufan nodded, then showed his textbook to Lin Li, where one could see ’Boob’ written. "Lin Li, don’t you see? This word is the orthographic views of what it represents!" "This B is the top view of the chest, this oo is the front view, and this b is the left view! All three views complete, the person who invented this word is a genius!" Bai Bufan exclaimed excitedly. Lin Li: "..."
