Chapter 326 The Will of Fire is Still Not Recognized

The man turned and left, as if he had made up his mind, and never looked back at him again.

Leaving, as defined in the dictionary, means to separate from a person or a place, and at that moment, Lin Li understood what leaving meant.

"Brother, I'm not sick!" Lin Li shouted.

But the man's pace became more rapid.

Fortunately, he had just thrown away the cigarette butt.

Lin Li picked up the cigarette butt and pressed it on his arm. The burning pain made his arm pause slightly.

As expected, the other attributes had improved before, and after being heated like this, the "fire" did increase, but the increase was very small.

Lin Li threw away the cigarette butt and crushed it, then used [Heal] to start healing the burn scars on his arms.

The effect of [Healing] is increasing along with one's own strength. It is no longer the ability that was better than nothing at the beginning, which required several attempts to remove even bruises.

When you haven't seen someone for three days, you should look at him with new eyes. [Healing] is no longer the useless ability that I first saw in September. It is now the useless ability of November.

——Now bruises can be removed in one go.

New burn scars will quickly fade to the point where they are barely noticeable unless you look closely, and they will return to their original state with just one treatment.

Lin Li felt that he had this ability and was quite suitable to take a bottle of Monster drink to modify his wrist with a flower knife and OD pills to become a visual landmine man.

According to the stereotype, in this circle, as long as you are not afraid of the landmine girl's self-explosion or the lingering ghost, you can fuck her as you please.

It is a very authoritative circle that is worth joining - I emphasize again, this is a stereotype.

Lin Li collected his thoughts, picked up the crushed cigarette butt on the ground and threw it into the trash can.

Although the progress of "fire" has increased, its degree of increase is similar to the progress of "water" during an ice shower, which is much slower than swimming and moving bricks.

In other words, one has to be burned by cigarette butts tens of thousands of times in a row before the "fire" is complete.

[Heal] can't cure it. Even if we wait for the reward of fire resistance, it is not realistic to complete the task this way. We still have to find another way.

……

Alas, the people of Xiling are so uncultured.

Lin Li just called the funeral home again and asked them in a more polite way if they really didn't accept orders for cremating living people. In the end, he was scolded as a Korean who came from nowhere.

Lin Li was not angry when he was called a big idiot before, but he really couldn’t stand being called a Korean.

I wanted to take off my pants and throw them to the other person through the phone to tell him that I was not short at all.

But after hearing what I said, the person at the funeral home said, "I'm sorry, sir, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean you were short."

Then he gave Lin Li some basic knowledge. The Korean star Ma Dong-seok's nationality has now changed to the United States, so Ma Dong-seok no longer exists in Korea.

When he said Lin Li was Korean, he was simply scolding Lin Li, who was no match for Ma Dong Seok.

No one said Lin Li was short.

Oh, that was indeed a misunderstanding.

Misunderstandings can be cleared up by talking them out. After a quarrel at the grave, they will make peace at the grave. Lin Li and the funeral home reconciled.

——Although the funeral home still refuses to accept orders for cremation.

Sighing, Lin Li wrote down this sentence in a memo titled "Memes that need to be recited secretly in bed at 4 a.m." and would find a chance to use it on Bai Bufan tomorrow.

……

driving school.

[Task 1: Understand the mysteries of the Five Elements and seek to temper yourself with the power of the Five Elements (5/)]

After using "Yun Lei Zi" for several hours, "Wood" has been completed.

Lin Li's car was parked on the side of the road. He was sitting in the driver's seat, holding a spirit stone in his left hand to absorb it, and using his right hand to browse Taobao on his phone.

Order magic fire paper, fire stoves, igniters, warm packs, dripping wax, and fire extinguishers!
Swimming is enhanced water, these are enhanced fire!

For the mission, and for the warmth of Taoist Shanqing, I had to become a barbecued person!

It ignited.

I looked at the time and realized that it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

Just as a new class was about to be finished, Lin Li drove the car back to the garage and waited for the last facial scan to be completed.

That’s about it for today’s class.

Xiren Driving School originally provided night training, and it was not a special training course opened by Coach Yu for himself. There were quite a few people practicing driving at this time, and Lin Li did not want to bother others. After saying something to Yu Jianan on the phone, he took a taxi to the night market.

Arrived at Pinglu Street.

Pinglu is a relatively remote area in Xiling. There is a Yudai River nearby. The flat and wide terrain along the river is one of the reasons why it has always been chosen as a market place.

In the darkness of night, thousands of lights spread from the center of the stone street all the way to the riverbank, and then climbed up along the winding river channel, stretching as far as the eye can see. The later the stall owners came, the farther their stalls were from the street.

But only when it is away from the restrictions of the streets can it be a real night market.

New-age LED light strings and retro red lanterns weave intricate light paths along the river.

There are a wide variety of stalls, and you can see inflatable castles and carousels for children, as well as food, drinks, and entertainment.

There is also a stage that is being built and is almost completed, which should be the venue for tomorrow's performance.

Although it is already ten o'clock, which is considered 'late at night' in the small town of Xiling, the lights are still on here at this moment, and there are still many people shopping and eating, making it very lively.

Lin Li is not here to shop. Now that we are done shopping, what shall we go shopping with everyone tomorrow?

Lin Li, who had his own purpose, just ran forward along the route marked by the stalls.

Arrived at the end.

"This location feels about the same." Lin Li muttered to himself as he looked at the other side of the Yudai River.

Because it is far away from the street, this place looks a little deserted. If it weren't for the market today, I'm afraid that no one would come here at all. The ground is not very flat, and there are weeds in the distance. You can hear the sounds of birds, crickets and frogs.

Not to mention the other side of the river, it was almost dark.

I have a rough idea of ​​it.

Very good, it’s time to go home and prepare to have fun tomorrow, and forget about the missions.

It was difficult for online-hailing taxis to drive in here, and it would be troublesome to tell the driver where he was, so Lin Li walked back.

"Clap."

Lin Li kicked something while running. He stopped and saw the wallet he had just kicked open.

I went forward and picked it up. There wasn't much cash in the wallet, just one hundred-dollar note, one fifty-dollar note, a few coins, and a few bank cards or membership cards.

I searched for it, but didn't find any identifying information.

Lin Li, who was worth 40 million, naturally would not covet these things. He closed his wallet, walked to the roadside stall, and asked in a gentle voice:

"Auntie, do you know where the lost and found office is here?"

Although the night market is a convention that has been passed down since ancient times, it still requires official approval and management, so there must still be places like lost and found offices.

"Lost and found office? It should be over at the street office. I'm not sure, why don't you go and check it yourself?" The stall owner frowned and thought for a while, then pointed in a direction and answered unconfidently.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Auntie."

The stall owner was right. Although it was written sloppily, there was indeed a new "Lost and Found" sign here.

"Uncle, I just found a wallet near number 300 on the street. I don't know who lost it, so I left it here. Can you help me find the owner?" Lin Li walked to the window and handed the wallet over through the small opening.

"Understood. Put it here. I thank you on behalf of the owner." The staff member nodded, took it, and said to Lin Li with a smile.

"fine."

Lin Li waved his hand indifferently and turned to leave.

Then he paused.

——The "gold" of Mission 2 moved again.

Eh?
The progress of "Gold" was almost zero, but just in a moment, it increased a lot.

Of course it was good news, but Lin Li, who had made progress on his mission, was confused.

Your mother.

What kind of "gold" refining is this?

Yes, I have indeed resisted the temptation of money by returning the lost property, but how can the "gold" in the Five Elements be the gold of money?

Lin Li was shocked and didn't understand.

System, you fucking technicians don’t go to HR—you don’t do HR.

After being stunned for a while, Lin Li had a complicated expression.

Anyway... he finally had a direction. Lin Li put his phone, which had already opened the taxi-hailing app, back into his pocket and looked towards the night market.

……

"Uncle, I just found the wallet, cell phone, clothes and backpack at No. 447 Pinglu Street and put them here." Lin Li appeared at the window again.

"Picked it up again? People nowadays really don't take good care of their things, especially this guy. How could he be so careless to lose so much? Okay, put it here! Thank you."

The staff member was slightly surprised, then nodded and complained in disgust.

……

When the light from the window was blocked by an object, the staff member looked up and saw Lin Li again. He was stunned for a moment.

Lin Li laughed: "Uncle, I just found a five-dollar bill by the river. I put it here."

"Eh? Five, five dollars?" After hearing this, the staff was stunned for a second time.

To be honest, even if the owner of the five dollars found out that he had lost it, there is a high probability that he would not come here to look for it. He would just think that he was unlucky, right?
But never mind, it was also the good intention of this young man who was good at picking up things, so the staff member smiled and nodded:

"Okay, put it here."

……

When the staff member looked up and saw Lin Li's good-looking but somewhat annoying face, the corners of his mouth twitched.

how: how; are: are; you: you.

How are you? ：How are you?

How TM old are you! ! : How TM old are you! !

"Kid...what did you pick up again?"

Lin Li poured a few coins on the small table by the window, and then introduced enthusiastically:
"Uncle, here are four one-dollar coins and one fifty-cent coin. I found them at No. 305 and No. respectively. There is also one about a hundred meters from the alley..."

Although there are many of them.

But the staff wanted to warm him up.

"(；☉_☉)?" "Child," the staff member said with a complicated expression, "...this kind of money, uncle thinks, why don't you just use it yourself if you find it? It doesn't matter, you don't have to hand it over to me, everyone understands..."

It looked terrible. In front of him, one of the coins that Lin Li gave him was covered with dirt stains.

This money had obviously been thrown into the ground for a long time. How did this kid pick it up?
He turned the ground over, didn't he?
Could it be that this kid is torturing himself on purpose just for fun?
"How can this be possible?" However, Lin Li shook his head and stared at the staff. Although his words were calm, they were much more serious:
"Uncle, returning lost property is a virtue. Do not refrain from doing good deeds even if they are small, and do not commit evil deeds even if they are small.

The song "I Found a Penny on the Road" is sung by all of us. If you find property that does not belong to you, no matter how much it is, you cannot take it for yourself!

This is not a question of amount, it is a question of principle.

Uncle, your words are worthy of your identity as a Young Pioneer! Are they worthy of your red scarf? "

staff member:"……"

How fucking old am I and I still wear a red scarf?

"I have a problem with my thinking, I'm sorry..." But these words were too dazzling, the staff member didn't dare to look Lin Li in the eye or refute, he lowered his head guiltily, "...Give me the money, I've registered everything."

"That's right~" Lin Li was relieved.

……

A few minutes later, when the staff member saw Lin Li appear again not far away, he looked heartbroken. He sighed first, then forced himself to smile. When Lin Li approached, he asked:

"Kid, what did you pick up this time?"

Lin Li seemed to be stunned for a moment, then spread out his hands: "I picked up two cigarette butts and a plastic bottle, uncle, do you want them?"

Staff: "(;☉_☉)?"

Hey! Wait!

"Kid! This is a lost and found office, not a garbage collection office! You're disrupting our work by giving us this! Let's see if you have any excuses to make! I can't stand this anymore!"

The staff member suddenly became excited, stood up, pressed the table, and shouted to Lin Li excitedly.

I had been suspecting it, but never found the opportunity!

Now I finally found the evidence. It was my turn to stand on the high ground and attack this kid!
"Ah? Of course I know. I definitely didn't plan to give it to you. I was looking for a trash can to throw it away. Here, this trash can." Lin Li was even more confused and spoke with an innocent look on his face.

His brows gradually furrowed, and he looked at the staff with increasingly strange eyes, with a look of confusion, and even concern.

Staff: “……☉_☉.”

"Haha, haha, ha, ah, so that's it." The staff didn't know what to do for a moment except laughing awkwardly.

The smile gradually turned desperate.

Fuck, your mother is embarrassed.

"I'm going to use the bathroom."

With a bang, the window of the lost and found office was closed and the curtains were drawn.

Lin Li shrugged in surprise, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, clapped his hands to remove the dust, and took a taxi home again.

He never intended to play tricks on the staff, and he didn't mean to do that just now.

But there are not so many people in this world throwing things away at the same time.

What's more, these days, only very young children and very old people use cash, and as for more precious things like mobile phones - many people would not even throw away their mobile phones if their children lose them.

And as long as someone sees the property on the ground before you, no matter if that person intends to return the property or keep it, it has nothing to do with you.

It is an extremely small probability event that the second wave will be able to pick up the mobile phone, wallet and clothes.

Lin Li could only find and hand over small coins and small-denomination banknotes.

As for the new round of search that had just been returned, nothing was found at all. But as the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed, so Lin Licai picked up two cigarette butts with the attitude of a good person and doing good deeds, which was considered to be protecting the environment.

Of course, these efforts have paid off.

In the car, Lin Li began to review the results he had just achieved.

Returning lost property can satisfy the "gold" requirement of the task, and it is not limited to specific amounts of money. As long as you resist the temptation to take these valuables for yourself, you are in the process of tempering and have passed it.

Now the progress bar has gone through one-sixth. When handing in clothes and mobile phones, there is still progress, and most of the progress is increased at this step.

The higher the value, the faster the progress.

As for the four and a half dollars, it is better than nothing.

In other words, if someone carelessly dropped 100 million in cash in front of Lin Li, as long as Lin Li returned it, the "gold" could probably be completed in an instant.

But this opportunity may not be easy to come by.

Lin Li looked at the task.

The training methods that are truly related to the gold element are not progressing well, but the abstract gold is progressing very quickly.

Is the reason why the orthodox method is not ideal because from the perspective of immortal cultivators, these elemental powers seem too trivial for immortal cultivation?
If this is the case, according to this logic, will there also be abstract but quick ways to complete this task for the other four attributes?
"Wood" has been completed, and there are also "water", "fire" and "earth".

Then he suddenly took out his cell phone and opened Naruto.

"I'm going to charge all 40 million into the Hokage!"

"Wow Darcy! This is my Will of Fire!"

The task has nothing to do with me.

Lin Li played two games in the arena and tried to touch the opponent's head, but it was useless.

Lin Li went to see some marginal bloggers again.

However, when faced with the temptation of these burning goods, Lin Li clearly relied on his firm heart to not be tempted, but the "fire" in his system was still like the belly of a wife who inherited her husband's infertility - no movement.

Forget it, I tried to plant flowers but they didn’t bloom, but I planted willows by accident and they got pregnant.

This thing doesn't seem to be something that can be tested out in a short time.

Because Lin Li had been working as a hunting dog in Pinglu for several times, it was already nearly midnight. Feeling sleepy, he went home and fell asleep immediately.

……

The next day, Saturday.

Lin Li practiced the spiritual energy part of the Eight-Section Body Building Exercise at home.

When the last section of the last chapter finished running through his body, Lin Li suddenly felt enlightened, with a sense of mastery.

【Task 1 has been completed.】

[You have received rewards: Title: Fruit of Perseverance; Physical Improvement: Qi and blood increased by 100%, physical strength increased by 100%; Medium-grade Spiritual Stones*5; System Currency*200. ]

[Fruit of Persistence: After wearing it, when you focus on something, your efficiency in that thing will slowly improve. The longer you focus on that thing, the greater the improvement will be. There is no upper limit to this improvement. When you take off the title, the accumulated time will not be reset. ]

Lin Li digested the brief discomfort brought about by the increase of Qi and blood with a smile on his face.

It was very short. Unlike the previous times when his Qi and blood were boosted, Lin Li felt dizzy for only half a minute before he completely recovered to his full energy.

Now, Lin Li’s health BUFF has accumulated to an increase of 250%.

Taking off the [Light of the Stream Spirit] that he wore when practicing, Lin Li wore the new title as the main title.

If nothing unexpected happens, this title will remain in my title position permanently.

And as expected, when the title reward appeared, the 'series' of tasks came to an end, and no new tasks popped up.

That's true, after all, the "Eight-Stage Body Strengthening Exercise" has been practiced to perfection.

But in fact, there is still a lot of room for Lin Li to continue practicing the Eight-Section Body Strengthening Technique - Taoist Shanqing used this technique as a basis to complete the content that can make his physical strength reach a higher level.

Anyway, the habit of getting up early has been formed, so just continue to get up early in the future. With less forced constraints, you can make your arrangements more freely.

I went to the driving school again and practiced driving for two hours.

All business is over, and it is time to prepare for the joy that is about to come today.

Lin Li returned home and found a barber shop near his home.

Although it was the weekend, the barber shop was still deserted in the morning, with only one female customer getting her hair done.

"Hello, how much for a wash and blow-dry without a cut?" Lin Li asked the free barber, who looked quite young, perhaps an apprentice.

“Fifteen,” he replied.

"Are there any levels of store managers? I want the best hair wash and blow dry service. It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher." Lin Li asked again.

"I have a wash, cut and blow-dry, but no hair dryer," the middle-aged man who was doing a woman's hair nodded with a smile, "But it's okay, I'm the store manager, it's still 15 yuan, the apprentice will wash it, but I'll help you blow dry it later."

"Okay, thank you."

"You come to take a shower so early in the morning. Do you have a date today?"

When washing your hair, the barbers always chat with you more or less, and they are all very talkative.

Therefore, for many introverts, they need a dumb hairdresser more than a blind massage.

"Yes." But Lin Li was naturally not among them. He smiled and nodded when he heard it.

Today is indeed a day that needs to be taken seriously from the beginning.

"How do you want your hair blow-dried?" The female customer didn't need to do anything at this stage, so after Lin Li finished washing and sat down next to her, the manager came over immediately.

"I don't quite understand this. Boss, just take care of it and do whatever you think suits me."

Lin Li said after hearing this.

"That's fine," the boss nodded, twisted Lin Li's head a few times, and then took out a curling iron beside him: "You have a good foundation, you won't look ugly no matter how you do it. I'll give you a 70% curl?"

Lin Li frowned when he heard this: "Isn't 70% too well done? I prefer it tender."

Store manager: “?”

What kind of seven points is this?

Seeing the store manager was stunned, Lin Li smiled and said, "Store manager, what I mean is that 30% and 70% are all fine. Just be natural and don't be too fancy."

"Then I understand. How about giving you some layers?"

"it is good."

……

"It's done. This is about right. There's no deliberate styling. You can see for yourself if you like it. If you're satisfied, I'll fix it for you and call it a day."

The store manager put down the hair dryer, looked at Lin Li in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.

Damn, hairstyle is sometimes too demanding on modeling.

Lin Li tilted his head left and right, then smiled:
"Boss, I'll ask more people to come to your store next time."

"Hehe," the store manager was very happy to hear that, "Okay, I'll give you a discount then--"

Lin Li: "When the time comes, you should call more people, and don't say we bullied you O(∩_∩)O."

Store manager: “[○｀Д○]!?”
