Chapter 279: A White and Yellow Salute for the King's Birth
Chapter 279: A White and Yellow Salute for the King's Birth
That's a big problem.
Of course, Lin Li was not talking about the dean, but the doctor in front of him.
I've just figured out what to write on my epitaph.
Don't complain about your dean in this situation which can easily lead to misunderstanding!
The result is that I was worrying about nothing and felt so embarrassed.
Lin Li really wanted to throw this doctor out of the operating room now, and then say shyly, "Ahhhhhh, such a simple operation was not successful, I am so embarrassed."
But a false alarm is better than real bad news. After confirming that he no longer needed to do anything, Lin Li packed up his things and left the clinic.
"Son, I don't understand this stock market, and I don't like it. Can you change it to something else for your dad to watch?"
"Dad, this is not a stock, this is an electrocardiogram, you can't change it!"
When Lin Li passed by the door, the old man who was waiting was still performing steadily.
Eager to return home, Lin Li once again used the cart as a weapon to force the driver to return home quickly, and then he checked the gains of his mission.
The "low-grade spirit stone" is really just a "low-grade spirit stone".
But it is indeed reasonable to include spirit stones in the formation materials.
"Zhu Lingsha" is a semi-liquid and semi-solid liquid sand packed in a small porcelain bottle. It is vermilion in color with crystal flowing inside.
The "Superior Array Core" is a thumb-sized diamond-shaped crystal, engraved with detailed runes that seem powerful but are incomprehensible.
The "Star Array Disc" is the largest object among the five materials. It is almost the same size as Lin Li's fully opened hand. It is a round disc with dense patterns on it, which are still flowing like a galaxy. In the center is a thumb-sized core that is very similar to the array core. The inside is extremely bright and emits a distinct light.
The array plate and the array core are very hard, and cracking a walnut is effortless.
While eating walnuts, Lin Li threw the walnut shells into the trash can and then put the materials back into the warehouse.
won't work.
When injecting spiritual power into the array, he could see the stars moving faster, but up to this point, Lin Li didn't know what to do next.
Lin Li could do nothing except spit on their faces.
It's like this without relevant basic knowledge. Even if Lin Li's talent in this area has increased by 50%, he is still not at the level where he can figure out how to use the materials as soon as he sees them.
Lin Li materialized the "Spirit Gathering Sky Array".
A gorgeous array core the size of a palm appeared and stood in front of Lin Li. Dozens of materials that Lin Li did not recognize appeared at the same time and moved in all directions. They stopped only after being blocked by walls and beds. The illusory array pattern connected several materials in the air.
Lin Li reached out and touched the array core, and then he could feel the specific location of the other materials, but he felt it was difficult to control them.
Can't do it.
Lin Li materialized the "Spiritual Spring", and he could find that the spiritual energy escaping from the spring was absorbed and gathered at the center of the formation, and then formed a tiny drop of spiritual liquid that adhered to the bottom.
Sure enough, the purpose was guessed correctly. This formation is used as its name suggests, to gather spiritual energy.
In the spiritual world of immortal cultivation, it is probably a very basic formation that all immortal cultivators must know, but in modern times, it seems very useless.
If the purpose is just to gather the spiritual energy in the "Spirit Spring", any empty shell can do it.
"What is most needed is basic knowledge." After putting everything back into the warehouse, Lin Li sighed slightly.
Regardless of whether it was sword techniques or the essentials of formations, what Lin Li needed more now was theory.
With the theory, perhaps one can try to create a usable formation in modern times based on the modern environment and materials, using one's own talents and the spiritual energy that should not exist.
Even a low-end one is fine.
These materials all seem to have something to offer, but the problem is that their owner doesn't have anything.
There was no point in worrying, he could only put his hope on the system. Lin Li threw these thoughts out of his mind and continued to carve the "Qian Kun Ring".
……
Sunday night.
late at night.
"I can't chisel it anymore." Lin Li threw the ring aside and rubbed his head.
The further you go in the ring, the harder it is to expand the space. The amount of spiritual energy consumed does not change, but it simply becomes more difficult and more time-consuming and labor-intensive.
To the extent that until now, the interior is just a space the size of a shoe box.
And dozens of low-grade spirit stones were consumed in this way. This thing consumes a lot of spirit stones, and Lin Li’s stock is almost sold out.
Fortunately, the "Spirit Spring" has not shown any signs of drying up so far, and it can still develop sustainably. There is no need to rush to use the "Fortune Talisman" and "Random Quality Spirit Stone" to open blind boxes again.
"I chisel you during the day, during evening study, and even after school. I've chiseled you for two days. Does it feel good? Hmm?" While Lin Li was recovering his spirit, he made dirty jokes to the ring.
"Old Lin, look at what you made inside me. It can't even close." Lin Li shook the ring and replied.
The shoebox-sized space, at least it finally has more meaning and can hold a lot of things.
Now, Lin Li packed some food supplies in.
Then I rested and waited for 12 o'clock.
【Update completed.】
October 28th, 00:00.
on Monday.
"Happy eighteenth birthday to me." After hearing the system notification, Lin Li snapped his fingers, opened his eyes, and said to himself with a smile.
At this time, a message popped up on the phone, followed by the vibration of a phone call.
"Happy birthday, son." Wu Min's voice appeared on the other end after she picked up the phone. "You're still not asleep."
"I was woken up by your phone call, Sister Min."
"Come on, your mother doesn't even know what kind of person you are. I transferred 520 to you as a birthday present."
"Thank you, Mom." Lin Li didn't have the habit of celebrating his birthday, nor would he ask for birthday presents, so it was fine with him.
"Wu Min: Transfer "5", waiting for you to receive it."
Lin Li: "..."
Lin Li switched his phone to speakerphone mode and fell silent while looking at the messages on WeChat.
"Mom, why is it only five dollars?" Lin Li asked.
"Oops, I was too hasty and missed a 20. Sorry, I'll make it up to you right away." Wu Min said apologetically.
"Wu Min: Transfer "20", waiting for you to receive it."
"It's been made up, take it."
Lin Li: "..."
"Carelessness saves Wu Min 500 yuan."
"Oh, Mom, if you pay me in installments, I will go to the rooftop and attack the concrete downstairs. Then I will go to see you in installments."
Lin Li opened the bedroom window and shook it outside to make the sound of the wind more obvious.
"Wu Min: Transfer "1800", waiting for you to receive it."
The threat worked.
"Okay, use this money to treat your classmates to a good time this weekend. If it's not enough, ask mom for more." Wu Min said with a smile.
"Thanks, Mom." Lin Li smiled and nodded, accepting it.
Lin Li is naturally not short of this money. In fact, if we only compare the current balance in the card, Lin Li may have more than Wu Min - Wu Min will deposit it regularly and use it to buy stable financial products.
But after all, it is not convenient to disclose the source of his money for the time being, and he has not found a suitable reason. In order not to arouse suspicion, Lin Li still collects it every week even for living expenses.
The son will save the money for her first and return it to her when she grows up and gets married.
"Did you clean the house yesterday when I asked you to? You should clean the living room and the bathroom." After chatting for a while, Wu Min asked.
During the routine weekend phone call last night, Wu Min said that the house needed a thorough cleaning, and she remotely controlled Lin Li to do the work.
"I've cleaned it, I've cleaned it. I've taken photos for you. It's spotless." Lin Li said leisurely.
"Okay, then Mom is going to rest. You should go to bed as well. You have to get up in the morning to go to school."
"it is good."
After saying good night to each other, Lin Li hung up the phone.
There are messages from other people on the phone.
"Yang Liang: Happy birthday, Lin Li, transfer "88". "
"Yang Liang: Uncle knows that you will definitely not accept it if the amount is large, but this is less than a hundred yuan, there is no need to refuse."
"Lin Li: Thank you, uncle."
"Yang Liang: There's nothing to thank you for, Lin Li. You're already eighteen years old. If I catch you in an entertainment venue again, I won't let you wear a mask. If someone takes a picture of you, everyone will know about it. So you understand what I mean, right?"
"Lin Li: Got it. I'll bring it myself when the time comes."
"Yang Liang: Uncle doesn't mean that!!!"
"Lin Li: Don't worry, uncle. I haven't been to that kind of place for a long time. I won't go there again."
"Yang Liang: Okay, Lin Li, you are a man now. You must be responsible for your words. Uncle believes in you."
"You retracted a message."
"Lian Li: "Rose" "Rose" "Rose""
"Yang Liang:?"
After chatting with Yang Liang, Lin Li looked at the pop-up message of "Three People and One Dog".
"Bai Bufan: Lin Li, happy birthday "poop" "poop""
"Bai Bufan has initiated a "Happy Birthday" group payment. You need to pay 888 yuan."
"Bai Bufan: It's just a small token of my respect."
"Bai Bufan: Where are the people? Did you pay first?"
Lin Li: "..."
He was the only one who spoke in the group, after all, none of the "three people" brought their cell phones.
As for why we have to speak in the group, it is because private chats cannot be used to "collect payments in the group".
"Lin Li: Idiot."
Sure enough, after seeing Lin Li’s reply, Bai Bufan immediately chatted with Lin Li privately.
"Bai Bufan: STARS-804. "Image" magnet:?xt=..."
"Bai Bufan: The big thunder you like, 3D, "picture" magnet:? xt=..."
"Bai Bufan: Short film, the plot is OK. "Picture" magnet:?xt=..."
"..."
The screen was flooded with a series of pop-up messages.
Lin Li: "..."
What the hell is this? It’s all fucking links.
Lin Li long-pressed with no interest at all, selected all with a look of disgust, and forwarded and saved it with nausea.
"Bai Bufan: These are all I have collected recently. Let me salute the birth of the king!"
What the hell is this salute.
In addition to Bai Bufan, Wang Ze, who also brought his mobile phone this week, also sent his blessings.
I heard that his senior also carries a cell phone.
After everything was processed, Lin Li turned his gaze towards the system.
On Monday, the system was also updated, with an additional opportunity to refresh the product column.
This time, Lin Li was not in a hurry to use it.
Because I now have 830 system currencies on hand, after reporting Wang Yuhui’s matter at the school morning meeting today, I should be able to complete Task 100 and get another system currencies.
If I go to the end of the world later and complete the second task of sending the beautiful lady home, I will get another 100, which means I will have 1030 system currencies.
Enough to exchange for a mecha.
After this mech is replaced, Lin Li will not be able to save money or replace it with a second one in the short term, so it is most appropriate to use the free refresh opportunity in its slot. In addition, the amount of historical system currency obtained will reach 2800, unlocking slot , and maybe it can be used for refresh.
If you haven't completed Task 2, just change the "Upgrade Talisman" column.
So keep it for now.
Lin Li got up, changed his clothes, took his things, and went to the bedroom.
set off.
A white light flashed, and outside the ruined building, the sky turned dim.
I checked the watch I left on the ground. Fifty-nine minutes had passed, which was longer than the last time. I calculated and found that the ratio was also 1:170.
My stay time became six hours, half an hour longer than last time.
He checked the "Qian Kun Ring", it was still in his hand, and the things inside were successfully brought over.
After confirming this, Lin Li returned to the base where he had separated from Hu Fei and the others. Hu Fei, Ye Jing, and Shi Dongchen were already there.
There were two vehicles that looked like heavy pickup trucks parked downstairs of the building, with the remains of several zombies around them. Hu Fei was covered in blood and was now squatting next to the car eating.
"Brother! Sister-in-law!"
After seeing Lin Li, Hu Fei immediately stood up and shouted, ignoring the several zombies that were attracted to the surrounding area.
When Ye Jing and Shi Dongchen saw Lin Li coming over dragging two large bags of supplies, their eyes lit up.
In their eyes, Lin Li made multiple trips back and forth in one day and brought a large amount of supplies.
That’s great for them.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Lin!" Shi Dongchen immediately called Ye Jing and Hu Fei to come forward and take over the heavy supplies.
Then Shi Dongchen pointed at the two cars parked at the back and introduced them to Lin Li: "Brother Lin, we have already got you the cars you wanted. Both cars are fully fueled, and we have prepared a lot of spare fuel."
"One is enough for me." Lin Li nodded, and then asked what he was more concerned about: "What about the identity information and address of the beautiful lady? Do you have any clues?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Dongchen immediately looked helpless and apologetic: "I'm sorry, little brother Lin, the beautiful lady is a little different from when she was alive.
Plus, we don’t have a lot of means and technology available today, so after returning, I discussed with everyone that if she only had the things in the bag, there would be no way to confirm her identity, let alone her address.”
Shi Dongchen's words were already very tactful.
The beautiful lady is no longer the same as she was when she was alive. She is now just a skeleton. Without molecular-level identification technology, there is no way to confirm her identity.
Not to mention the address.
Therefore, Lin Li was not surprised by this answer and just nodded regretfully.
"Okay, thank you. I'll figure it out myself."
"Brother Lin, although we cannot find the home of the beautiful lady, we are willing to become her family! We sincerely invite you and the lady to join the shelter, and we will definitely entertain you with the highest standards of etiquette!
The shelter can be your new home!"
Seeing this, Shi Dongchen immediately spoke eagerly.
This was the only excuse Shi Dongchen could think of on the way back and forth.
It was obvious during the day that Lin Li was no longer as eager for gold as Ye Jing had described this morning, so Shi Dongchen was worried that the shelter would no longer be attractive to him.
The policy had changed from preventing the other party from knowing the information of the shelter in the beginning to now wishing that Lin Li could become a part of the shelter.
If Lin Li is willing to come, it doesn't matter if we give him the leadership.
As a second best option, if you can't be Lin Li's family member, you can be his mother's family member.
But after hearing what Shi Dongchen said, Lin Li wanted to shake his head, but he raised his eyebrows. It seemed that it was somewhat feasible?
Home is not something that remains static. If the beautiful lady suddenly moves, will the system approve it?
An unreliable idea may become reliable when it meets an unreliable system.
But in order to make the plan more reliable, Lin Li thought for a while and asked:
"Shi Dongchen, in your world, when you bought a house before, did you need a contract or something?"
"Of course it's necessary before the end of the world."
"Do you have a contract for the shelter?" Lin Li asked.
"After the apocalypse, things without binding force were abandoned long ago. Why do you suddenly ask this, Brother Lin..."
Shi Dongchen didn't know why Lin Li asked this, and answered cautiously.
"Ms. Beautiful just told me that she is willing to move to your shelter and she plans to move."
Before Shi Dongchen’s eyes lit up, Lin Li continued:
"Well, you drive back with your stuff, and then clear out a single room with a bed. Then, draft a contract to transfer the ownership of the room to Ms. Beautiful, and make it her private property.
These materials will be regarded as the payment made by the beautiful lady, and then they will be signed and sealed directly, and the process will be as formal as possible, close to the situation before your doomsday..."
Shi Dongchen: “?”
Then he nodded hesitantly: "No problem."
Although I don’t know why Lin Li made this request, it’s definitely a good idea to agree to it first.
"..."
"Then do it now. I'll wait for you to come back after you're done." After giving some instructions on the details, Lin Li gestured.
"If you need to formally sign and seal...should we take the beautiful lady away first?"
Shi Dongchen had already arrived next to a pickup truck. After Hu Fei loaded the supplies he brought this time into the back space, he asked.
Lin Li shook his head, then took out a hand from the snakeskin bag and handed it to Shi Dongchen:
"If I give you my whole body, I can't make any other attempts. I'll give you this hand, so it should be okay to sign and seal, right?"
Shi Dongchen: “…”
A bit hardcore.
"Yeah, no problem, no problem at all." Even if Shi Dongchen was a bitch in his heart, he had to smile on the surface.
"Go ahead." Lin Li then asked Shi Dongchen to take Hu Fei away.
"Ye Jing, how do you drive a vehicle in your world? Teach me."
Lin Li left Ye Jing behind, and after the two men left, he opened another pickup truck and sat in the driver's seat to signal.
I have never driven a car, and there are differences between the two worlds, so I must learn first.
"Okay." Ye Jing nodded and immediately came to the co-pilot seat to start giving instructions: "Your left foot is..."
When the car sped away, Ye Jing fastened her seat belt.
Lin Li drove a heavy pickup truck on the road, swaying left and right and rushing around.
The attraction also knocked away many zombies.
"..."
Half an hour later.
"Driving is quite fun." Lin Li said with a smile.
"But riding in a car is not fun at all." Ye Jing, who looked pale, disagreed.
Lin Li smiled. In fact, Ye Jing didn't need to worry. With the help of her comprehension and mecha index, although the vehicles in this world were quite different from those in modern times, she soon felt at ease.
If the performance of the modified pickup truck was not limited, Lin Li felt that he could do some difficult moves.
There is someone deliberately racing behind.
He also knew how to drive, and before waiting for Shi Dongchen to come back, Lin Li took the beautiful lady to find a room with a bed nearby, and then started exercising.
The movement was completed, but the mission was not accomplished until Lin Li quietly walked two miles away.
But I had already said to the air before that this was the new home of the beautiful lady.
The system doesn't seem to recognize it.
It seems we still have to place our hopes on Shi Dongchen.
More than an hour later, Shi Dongchen and Hu Fei drove back.
"Is it done?" Lin Li asked.
"Okay, I've made three copies of the contract and brought one here. You can take a look at it. If there's anything that needs to be changed, we'll change it now." Shi Dongchen nodded and took out a stack of papers and gave it to Lin Li.
It still printed, but the ink was a little uneven, which seems to indicate that the ink quality is not good.
Usually there are many traps in the contract, but the one in hand has no traps at all, and all the terms are basically in favor of the buyer: the beautiful lady.
Seeing the bloody handprint of the skull on the last page, Lin Li nodded, threw the bed he had just found on a pickup truck, and said:
"Then let's go. Let's go to your shelter now. The three of you will take one and lead the way, and the beautiful lady and I will take another."
"Ok."
The group then set off, but because there were many disturbed zombies along the way, they did not drive very fast.
No wonder the time required for driving back and forth is almost the same as the time required for Ye Jing to walk back and forth.
After more than forty minutes, they finally arrived outside their so-called community.
The rusty iron gate was sealed with a thick chain. Vines grew out of the cracks in the wall and covered the mottled wall like green blood vessels. The building was much more intact than the area where Lin Lilai lived, but it could also be described as dilapidated.
It certainly doesn't look like anyone lives on the ground.
After assisting Hu Fei in dealing with the zombies that were following them, Lin Li dragged the beautiful lady and followed them into the hidden tunnel outside the community.
"Is this light specially turned on for me?" Lin Li said, pointing at the light installed in the narrow passage.
The light source does not match the surrounding environment and seems to be placed temporarily.
"Yes." Shi Dongchen nodded.
At first it is very narrow, but only allow 100 people to pass through. After walking a few dozen steps, it is also passable for 100 people. When you reach the end, it is only passable for 100 people.
And there are even signs of human habitation.
Lin Li was forced to live in this place. In the middle of the night, when he had had enough of living, he got up to look for DDT, but he hit his head against the ceiling and fell asleep again. He couldn't die even if he wanted to.
But after all, it was the end of the world, and Lin Li knew that his idea was to eat meat.
The situation finally improved after we actually entered the underground garage area.
Lin Li saw several survivors, all of whom were looking at him secretly or directly, with a variety of complex emotions including curiosity, confusion, and surprise.
Everyone doesn't look very good.
"Where is Room 180?" Lin Li remained vigilant and focused on his mission.
The contract clearly states the room information owned by the beautiful lady.
"This way." Shi Dongchen pointed forward.
It’s actually very easy to recognize. At a glance you can lock onto the space with the brightest light, a space blocked by a curtain where there is no one around, and a space that looks exceptionally clean.
“Okay, thank you.” Lin Li nodded, and then reminded: “I may leave the shelter and go outside later. Please don’t talk to me before I speak.”
"We will definitely follow your wishes." Shi Dongchen nodded immediately after hearing this.
He was about to say something, but immediately signaled Ye Jing and Hu Fei not to follow, and let Lin Li and the beautiful lady enter the room alone.
The room was clean inside - at least compared to the outside, and had a bed that looked pretty soft.
It seemed that there was no need to bring in the bed outside that I had specially collected in case there was not enough decent one in the shelter.
Draw the curtain.
Lin Liru started the final exercise in bed just like he did last time, and it lasted half as long as the time allowed in the last mission.
So, bed exercise, done.
Lin Li laid the beautiful lady flat on the ground in a sleeping position, put all the clothes he had collected in the hospital on her body and set them on fire with a lighter.
After a while, it should be cooked.
Well, sleep soundly, done.
Covering the beautiful lady with the quilt, putting out the sparks on her body, and covering the corners of the quilt, Lin Li left the room without saying a word, and left the shelter silently in the sight of more survivors.
Under the watchful eyes of the guards at the entrance, Lin Li opened the exit of the tunnel and walked out onto the ground.
[Task 2 has been completed. 】
[You have received rewards: Title: Irrecognizable in pants; Physical improvement: 10% increase in image charm; 1 random system item; 100 system currency. ]
