Chapter 288 The Highest Definition of Connections

October 31st, evening.

After the evening self-study, Lin Li rode his bike but did not go home immediately. Instead, he went to the driving school registration point according to the address on his mobile phone.

"Coach Yu?"

After seeing the middle-aged man waiting outside the gate of "Xiren Driving School", Lin Li stopped the car, locked it and asked.

"Yes, it's me, Lin Li? Right." Yu Jianan turned his head and said immediately after seeing Lin Li.

"Yeah." Lin Li nodded.

"Come in, come in." Because they had been in touch on the phone, Yu Jianan immediately signaled Lin Li to follow him in.

"You've brought everything, right? You've got the medical form too, right?"

After taking Lin Li into an office, Yu Jianan motioned Lin Li to sit opposite him, while he sat in front of the computer and asked questions.

"I brought them all. Everything you told me on WeChat is here." Lin Li took out a folder from his schoolbag, which contained documents such as household registration booklet, a copy of his ID card, and the physical examination form he had just received from the vehicle management office.

A physical examination is required to get a driver's license. The content of the physical examination is very simple, covering basic items such as vision and height.

Although Lin Li had just had a physical examination a few days ago, the physical examination report from a private institution was not recognized.

Fortunately, it is very convenient now. There is a self-service physical examination machine in the 24-hour service area of ​​the Nansang Vehicle Administration Office. You can go for a self-service physical examination at any time. There is no need to go to the vehicle administration office or designated hospital for another test on weekdays.

Lin Li used this machine after school yesterday, but because manual review was only available during the day, he only received the passing report today.

"That's no problem. These are all you need. I'll help you input them now. Your system file should be available tomorrow."

Yu Jianan took the cigarette next to his ear and put it in his mouth, holding it without lighting it, and started typing away on the computer while speaking.

"Okay, coach. Then, I have finished all the questions in Subject One. When is the earliest I can schedule the exam?" Lin Li nodded and asked.

After returning from the National Day holiday, Lin Li took time to practice questions. With his perfect memory, as long as the question bank was available, he would be able to answer it correctly.

It's already a level that you can definitely pass the exam.

"There's no point in rushing about this. If you want to sign up for Subject One, you have to earn enough credits, but you can't earn enough credits since your file hasn't come out yet, and you can only take the exam on weekends, right?" Yu Jianan leaned back in the seat and spread his hands to Lin Li.

"That's right." Lin Li nodded.

Xue Jian would most likely not approve my request for leave to take the driving test, and he would even scold me a few times. I would definitely have to take the test on weekends.

"That will take a long time. It will be hard to get an appointment after you finish your course hours. Weekend numbers are the hardest to get. There is no chance in these two weeks. If you are unlucky, you won't be able to get an appointment next month." Yu Jianan shook his head when he heard that.

Lin Li frowned slightly when he heard this.

A month is too long to spend on Subject 1.

If you do this, you won’t even get your driver’s license until the New Year.

Haikou has boasted about it, even though it is not his fault.

"Isn't Xiren Driving School the most expensive but also the best driving school in Xiling? Don't you have any solution?" Lin Li asked with a frown.

Lin Li chose this one just to save trouble.

"Of course, but what we are good about is the service, training grounds and vehicles, which has nothing to do with this appointment number grabbing."

After saying that, Yu Jianan took out the unlit cigarette from his mouth and turned it around in his hand twice. He glanced at Lin Li's phone, which should not be recording or anything, and lowered his voice a little:

"If you are really in a hurry, Lin Li, I have some connections and may be able to help you get a number..."

Hearing this, Lin Li smiled.

But it was not a mocking smile. Lin Li nodded, even a little relieved: "No problem, Coach Yu, as long as your connections are reliable, I can definitely increase the money."

Seeing Lin Li being so sensible, Yu Jianan's eyes lit up.

“Don’t worry, Lin Li, my connections are absolutely reliable!” Yu Jianan seemed a little proud. He reached out and picked up his iPhone and waved it in front of Lin Li. “Let me tell you this, this is the phone I bought from Pinduoduo.”

Lin Li: “?!”

Lin Li was horrified and suddenly felt admiration.

This guy has extremely wide connections. He was able to steal a mobile phone from Pinduoduo. This guy is so terrifying that he must not be allowed to stay.

"Then leave it to the coach without any worries." Lin Li nodded.

Stable.

"Don't worry, you get what you pay for. I'll have someone go to the DMV to wait in line. It's faster than online. Plus, I know people in the DMV, and with a little help from my connections, I'll definitely help you get the earliest number. If it's not early enough, I won't charge you a penny."

Yu Jianan patted his chest and vowed.

"Okay, my goal is to get a driver's license before the Lunar New Year." Lin Li nodded.

"Then you can rest assured. There will be no problem. I am here. As long as you don't fail the exam and follow my instructions, you will definitely get it. Don't even mention the New Year. Normally, you will be able to pass it before New Year's Day."

Yu Jianan snapped his fingers and said confidently.

"Then I'll trouble you, Coach." Lin Li nodded politely.

"By the way, why are you in such a hurry to get a driver's license? Can I ask?" Yu Jianan continued to type on the keyboard, and asked casually out of boredom.

"There's nothing bad to say, I just made an appointment to drive to pick up my classmates during the New Year."

It’s indeed not a secret that needs to be hidden, Lin Li replied.

"Hey, you just turned 18 two days ago, and you contacted me yesterday. You must be really anxious."

After taking a look at the information, Yu Jianan raised his eyebrows and teased, then shook his head with a hint of nostalgia on his face:

"But it's understandable. This is how an eighteen-year-old should be. The way your classmates look at you while you're driving will surely make you feel good."

Then Yu Jianan sighed and said softly:
"Alas, if that hadn't happened, my child would have been eighteen years old. What a shame, what a shame."

"Can I ask what happened?" Lin Li asked curiously.

"There's nothing to hide. I pulled it out eighteen years ago." It's not a secret that needs to be hidden, Yu Jianan replied.

Lin Li: “(；☉_☉)?”

No?

Hmm? Pull?
Why don't you pull it out and send it?
Lin Li originally wanted to observe a moment of silence for that "child of the same age", but now it seems that there are hundreds of millions of people who need to observe a moment of silence, so forget it.

"OK, now we just have to wait for the review tomorrow, and then you can start brushing up your study hours," Yu Jianan finally finished operating the computer, and then introduced to Lin Li:

"We can help you swipe your credit card for the school hours. We can also help you swipe your credit card for online classes if you need it, but you have to leave your original ID card with me temporarily."

"Then, I personally suggest you brush it yourself, because there are still certain risks in doing it for others. If you get caught, although the punishment is not severe, you may not be able to get it before the New Year."

"That's not necessary. I'll do it myself." Lin Li shook his head when he heard that.

"Okay, then you can go to the front desk to pay, and then we can contact each other on WeChat. If you have any questions, just contact me."

"Ok."

Lin Li went to the front desk to pay, then rode his bike home to continue his daily refining and study.

Wait until midnight.

【Update completed.】

When he saw the news, Lin Li nodded. His guess was right. There would be an update on Monday and at the beginning of the month.

However, the update at the beginning of the month does not provide a free mall refresh opportunity, but only refreshes the opportunity to go to Doomsday.

Lin Li looked at the interface which still had no title. It was different from before.

The UI that originally had only three buttons now has five.

The two new buttons that appeared were lit, but like the other buttons at the beginning, they had no text.

The original three buttons now have text on them.

The one that lights up is "Return".

The dark and unclickable ones are "Terminate" and "Current reset price: 20 system currency".

Lin Li had actually almost guessed what these words had meant after a month's delay.

Only 20 system currencies are needed to refresh and go to Doomsday one more time.

Quite cheap?

However, there is also the word "current", perhaps the price will change, increasing with each reset?
However, Lin Li no longer had any demands on the doomsday world. He was not even an awakener, and it would be useless even if he got a ton of the core that was set up very early.

Since there are no tasks at the moment, there is no need to waste points.

Just use the free times every week and every month.

What is relatively attractive to Lin Li now is that after going there, he can drive his own mecha to explore that world.

Long live mecha.

Putting on protective clothing and picking up the prepared supplies and food, which this time also included some tools specified by Shi Dongchen, Lin Li clicked "Return" and 'returned' to his hometown.

White light flashed.

Lin Li was stunned.

Because the place in front of him was not the place he had chosen to return to a few days ago. To be precise, the scene in front of him did not seem to be the doomsday world at all.

The weather was clear and the light was just right, but Lin Li didn't dare to define whether the scene in front of him was the sky or not. It was not azure blue, but a warm amber light. There were floc-like purple light bands floating among the clouds, like an elongated aurora.

Lin Li is currently at the top of a mountain. When his sight moves from the sky to the surroundings, he can see mountains all around.

The 'sky' doesn't look like the sky, and the 'mountain' doesn't look like the mountain.

These mountains are almost made of pure rock. There is no vegetation on the surface, let alone any living creatures. What is very strange is that these mountains are in the shape of an inverted cone, with a large top and a small bottom. The top of the mountain is huge and flat, but the bottom of the mountain that supports the ground has only a tip.

It totally defies physics.

There are about several thousand meters between each mountain. The ground is made of black rock, just like the mountain itself, with no living creatures.

There was silence in my ears and it was quiet.

"..."

"..."

"What did your mother do to me again?" Lin Li came back to his senses and asked a soul-searching question.

No one answered.

Throw the food and tools you brought on the ground first... Lin Li looked down and found that the ground was also unusual. The surface was covered with a material similar to obsidian, but every few seconds, a ripple-like pattern would appear.

Obviously, this is by no means the end of the world.

Lin Li raised his eyebrows sharply.

When he calmed down and thought about it, Lin Li discovered another thing.

Reiki.

There is spiritual energy all around.

With every breath you take, it enters your body and is absorbed subtly.

As a result, the body feels slightly comfortable.

"There is no spiritual energy in the doomsday world, so... is this the belated world of immortal cultivation?" Lin Li expressed his guess.

"Boom!!!" A sudden sound occurred.

A purple bolt of lightning suddenly appeared and fell from the purple light band, hitting the ground not far away, making a roar.

Lin Li: "?"

The original excitement was instantly shattered. Lin Li looked up at the sky and after confirming that there was no purple light band directly above him, he walked carefully towards the edge of the very wide mountain top under his feet.

The 'top of the mountain' was several hundred meters wide, and because Lin Li walked very carefully, it took him more than ten minutes to reach the edge.

Several six-sided flowers with the same texture as ice crystals actually grew on the edge. Their petals were like knife blades, and from a distance of more than ten meters, one could see that the slight swaying of the flowers made the sound of swords.

Lin Li chose to avoid it first.

When they reached the edge of a mountaintop where there was nothing unusual, Lin Li took out the sports camera hanging on his chest, then materialized the "Invisible Sword" and let it possess the sports camera.

It was a little harder to get used to than a ballpoint pen, but after all, it was not big. After a few minutes, the sports camera placed on the ground flew up according to Lin Li's thoughts.

Since Lin Li didn't bring a drone with him and now doesn't dare to materialize or use the armor, this is the best 'drone'.

Then Lin Li controlled it and flew out of the edge of the mountain.

There was no purple lightning aimed at it, at least not yet.

The camera slowly fell down and disappeared from Lin Li's sight. Lin Li blindly controlled it to slowly turn 360 degrees.

Then I let it fly back and took it in my hand.

Check out the video just now.

As expected, the mountain beneath his feet was an inverted mountain. There was nothing outside the edge of the mountain top, only rocks that were shrinking inward.

To a certain extent, there is no way for normal people to go up or down the mountain.

Lin Li frowned, pondered for a few minutes, and chose to return to the six-sided flower on the edge.

The "Invisible Sword" stripped off the sports camera and the compressed biscuits brought by the possession, and then flew towards the six-sided flower.

When it was still several dozen centimeters away, the six-sided flower swayed and the compressed biscuit suddenly broke into two pieces, and the "Invisible Sword" was forced to break away.

"Your mother."

Looking at the extremely flat cross-section, the fact that the cutting process made no sound, and the biscuit bodies that were still being cut, Lin Li felt annoyed.

"Boom!" Another purple thunder.

Lin Li took a long breath and decided to temporarily return to the center of the mountain top.

It feels safest here.

Sitting cross-legged, Lin Li looked at the system. This time it was still limited to six hours, no different from when he went to the Doomsday World on Monday.

Afterwards, Lin Li began to take deep breaths to inhale spiritual energy, but he did not dare to immerse himself in it. Instead, he kept an eye on his surroundings.

An hour passed like this.

Without absorbing it with all his strength, Lin Li had already absorbed spiritual energy worth at least one "low-grade spiritual stone".

The result of being distracted was the following information: within an hour, there were countless lightning strikes, with 8 lightning strikes nearby, none of which fell on the mountain where he was or nearby, but all of them fell on the ground between the mountains.

No living creatures were seen, whether human or animal, and the system did not trigger any tasks.

Second hour.

The result was similar, with only 9 lightning strikes.

After sitting there for two hours, Lin Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the statistical sample is insufficient, we can temporarily conclude that the purple thunder cannot reach the mountain.

Lin Li now doesn't dare to wear the title of "Thunder Inducer" for even a second.

This purple lightning felt like it was more than ten meters in diameter. Lin Li really didn't think that his Qingzheng Lightning Body could control it.

"First of all, this should be the world of immortal cultivation." Lin Li began to talk to himself, analyzing the situation.

"So, this is the system that will give me a new 'hometown' to return to every month?"

"It fits the nature of this system. After all, I am in the modern era, and it will give me tasks from both worlds."

"But what will happen in December? Will we go back to the Doomsday World, or go to... the All-Female World?"

"Going to a world full of girls... wouldn't be a good idea..."

Lin Li chuckled, then shook his head to dispel the smile.

Now we have to focus on the present.

"The world of immortal cultivation is actually more meaningful than the doomsday world."

Lin Li's plan tonight was just to drive the mecha to explore the doomsday world and see if he could trigger any tasks.

But this is actually very broad, in fact, it is just wandering aimlessly.

But the world of immortal cultivation is different.

The spiritual energy alone is an enormous gain.

If Lin Li focused on absorbing spiritual energy, the spiritual energy absorbed in one hour could be worth two or three "low-grade spiritual stones".

And this is definitely not the upper limit. What limits Lin Li's absorption speed is the concentration of spiritual energy around him. Lin Li also has the BUFF of "Spiritual Energy Absorption Speed ​​Increased by 600%" on his body, so his absorption speed is different from that of ordinary people.

Now there is not enough spiritual energy to absorb.

However, the solution to this problem is very simple: Lin Li still has a "Spirit Gathering Sky Array" in his hand.

The reason why Lin Li has not materialized it is the same as the reason why he has not materialized the combat armor to fly out of the mountain to explore - he is afraid of causing mutations.

The world of immortal cultivation represents endless resources, but at the same time, it also represents endless dangers.

Although Lin Li has always regarded himself as a cultivator in modern times, when he really came to the world of immortal cultivation, Lin Yanbing realized the difference between the ace company and the ordinary company.

Take the flower on the edge of the mountain top for example. Lin Li thought it was probably a natural treasure.

But Lin Li didn't dare to think about it at all.

Even when approaching, he only dared to use the "Invisible Sword" to test from a distance.

The ending of the compressed biscuit made Lin Li feel that if he approached rashly, he would see the "Substitute Jade-faced Buddha" shattered even though he didn't feel anything at all.

For many opportunities, cultivation is the threshold.

Without sufficient cultivation, coveting is just wishing for death.

This is why dung beetles would not choose to push elephant poop.

The thunder outside the mountain also made Lin Li dare not fly out in his mecha.

For safety reasons, it is best to stay on the top of this mountain.

But Lin Li was not upset.

Lin Li's mentality is very healthy. He doesn't feel uncomfortable about not being able to get any opportunity, nor depressed about being trapped here.

On the contrary, it feels kind of great, there is inexhaustible spiritual energy here!

This alone is worth the price of admission!
Having had enough of the days of making do with one piece of spiritual energy, Lin Li now just feels happy.

The area under your feet might be somewhat famous in the world of immortal cultivation, otherwise there wouldn't be no living creature to be seen.

But this is good news for Lin Li. He would be worried if he really saw immortal cultivators and spiritual beasts.

After all, it's as easy for them to hit themselves as it is to hit themselves with glue.

At this stage, Lin Li wishes he were the only one in this world.

As long as he doesn't get struck by thunder, the top of the mountain is the best place for him to practice. He can do what he can and steal some spiritual energy to use in the modern world. That will make him satisfied.

……

After deciding on the strategy of stealing spiritual energy, Lin Li completed his third hour in this world.

safe and sound.

The purple light band in the sky has never reached the sky above the inverted mountains.

Now, Lin Li is going to make a slightly risky attempt.

Call up the system interface first so that you can return at any time.

Then Lin Li materialized the "Spirit Gathering Sky Array".

Just like when it materialized at home, the array core stayed in front of Lin Li, while the other materials immediately flew in all directions.

Lin Li held down the array core, forcibly suppressing the other materials to prevent them from continuing to expand, while his eyes were fixed firmly on the sky.

One second, two seconds, nothing happened.

The formation began to operate.

The "Sky Spirit Gathering Array" that had no spiritual energy to absorb at home was now like a mouse falling into a rice jar. In an instant, Lin Li saw traces of the spiritual energy around him actually materializing and moving towards the core of the array.

In a flash, a drop of spiritual fluid appeared and teetered, much faster than at home.

Lin Li ignored it and suppressed it with one hand while continuing to stare at his surroundings.

He stared at it for ten minutes, and then a thunderbolt landed in the distance.

"call--"

Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief.

After confirming that his formation appeared, there were no changes in the surroundings, which made Lin Li feel much more at ease.

Turning his head, he saw a pool of spiritual liquid on the 'obsidian' on the ground, which was constantly vaporizing and liquefying in a cycle.

Lin Li simply materialized the "Duck Blood Bottle" and placed it under the array core, using it as a carrier to collect the spiritual liquid.

——The supplies that Lin Li brought to the shelter this time did not contain any liquid, so there were no other bottles nearby.

At this moment, sensing the excessively rich spiritual energy around him, Lin Li sat down cross-legged, continuing to suppress and distract his surroundings while breathing in and out to absorb the spiritual energy.

The absorption efficiency is noticeably faster.

Lin Li doesn't really know how to control this "Spirit Gathering Sky Array" yet. To be honest, it's quite difficult for him to suppress it from expanding. And he definitely hasn't reached the limit in developing and using it.

If it is developed to the extreme, how fast will the spiritual energy be gathered?
Curious, but unable to do it.

"Om-"

Lin Li was imagining the future when he heard a buzzing sound right in front of him, seemingly far away - the compass had stopped working and Lin Li could not tell east, west, south or north.

variable?

When this anomaly appeared, Lin Li immediately put away the formation, became extremely alert, and was ready to run away at any time.

But more than half an hour passed and still nothing happened, everything around was normal.

"It doesn't seem to be caused by me."

Lin Li continued.

Nothing else happened for the remaining two hours.

……

【0.11.39】

Only eleven minutes of stay left.

If you count carefully, Lin Li has not slept for 26 hours. However, absorbing spiritual energy is a comfortable thing in itself. Although he was highly focused for these six hours, he was not more tired than the six hours he spent in the doomsday world.

His own "duck blood bottle" was completely full.

It is unknown how long it will take for the "Spiritual Spring" to gather this amount of spiritual fluid.

Put away the formation and put the "Duck Blood Bottle" into the "Qian Kun Ring".

Lin Li materialized his combat armor, looked up at the sky, and was ready to take back the [warehouse] and run away at any time.

After a few minutes of waiting, a bolt of lightning struck in the distance.

Then the mecha disappeared, followed by Lin Li.

On the Upside-Down Mountain, there were only a large amount of physical supplies left that Lin Li deliberately did not take away.

……

return.

Lin Li stretched in the bathroom and looked at the "Current reset price: 20 system currency" button that had lit up on the system.

20 system currencies and staying for another six hours, to be honest, it is definitely worth it.

The combination of "Random Quality Spirit Stone" + "Fortune Talisman" may be removed from your consumption list - at least in November.

I checked the backup machine and calculated that the time flow rate is still 1:160.

Suddenly, without the spiritual energy he could absorb, Lin Li's drowsiness, which he had not noticed before, suddenly surged up.

"System, you did a great job..." After a simple wash, Lin Li rushed to the head of the bed and yawned.

If the doomsday world was the blow in October, it was a heavy blow that knocked Lin Li unconscious.

The world of immortal cultivation was hit hard by this blow, and it hit Lin Li's little head, causing his eyes to roll back and he drooled and made a "V" sign.

Cool!
Before going to bed, Lin Li took out his cell phone out of habit.

Someone shared a software with me.

Good things can’t be kept to oneself.

"Lin Li: Bufan, I just downloaded a domestic 18+ software. There are a lot of people playing it in China. Do you want one?"

"Bai Bufan: 111"

"Lin Li: "Good stuff.666", after downloading, change the suffix to .7z and unzip it, the decompression password is the four Chinese characters 'software sharing', right? Don't rename and unzip it online in the network disk."

"Bai Bufan: Don't worry, I've been looking for resources since I was a kid. I'm not one of those Internet giant babies who can't eat even if food is right in front of their mouths."

That’s good. Lin Li slept peacefully.

……

"Bai Bufan: Voice 60s"

"Bai Bufan: Lin Li!! Fuck your "Driving School Tips"!"

"Bai Bufan: You call this domestic 18+? I really have to control you!"

In order to make himself believe, Lin Li deliberately configured the software the same as that of Huangyou. Not only did he compress the software twice, he also specially set the Chinese decompression code.

Grass.

At first, Bai Bufan really thought it was stable. After all, that’s how good things should be.

Bai Bufan got out of bed angrily and punched Zhou Baowei a few times before he started snoring.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Baowei opened his eyes.

"You're snoring, go back to sleep." Bai Bufan said gently.

Zhou Baowei sneered: "Bai Bufan, is there a possibility that I haven't slept yet?"

Bai Bufan: “?”

"Wait a minute, am I sorry—"

……

After being beaten up by Zhou Baowei again, Bai Bufan became even angrier. The dragon slayer decided to become a dragon, so he took out his cell phone:

"Bai Bufan: Wang Ze, I just downloaded a domestic 18+ software. There are a lot of people playing it in China. Do you want one?"

"Wang Ze: 111"

……

When Lin Li woke up the next day, he looked at the message on his phone and was stunned for a moment.

"Wang Ze: Lin Li, I just downloaded a domestic 18+ software. There are a lot of people playing it in China. Do you want one?"
