Chapter 208 : Lin Li is a Slut
With his goal achieved, Lin Li was very satisfied.
Actually, the dishes he made couldn't be called "God of Cooking" level. It wasn't that exaggerated; it was probably equivalent to the level of an ordinary chef.
After all, in the eyes of the system, it was just a talent that couldn't even make it onto the [Panel].
If he were asked to make some elaborate dishes now, he would be completely clueless.
Perhaps another reason was that Ding Sihan had absolutely no expectations of Lin Li.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. So as long as the hope is small, the disappointment will be small.
And Lin Li's performance naturally easily exceeded Ding Sihan's expectations.
Rounding up, Lin Li also played the role of a man of contrasts.
"I didn't secretly curse you. Didn't I curse you openly?" Hearing Lin Li ask this, Ding Sihan spread her hands, looking somewhat innocent.
Lin Li: "..."
*She didn't even try to hide that calling me the God of Cooking was on purpose.*
*Wait.*
*System, tell me, which part of her praise was heartfelt? Huh? Speak!*
"I hope you're not denying it in that direction." So Lin Li raised his middle finger.
But since he had taken the money, he had to do the job. Lin Li started clearing the dishes and chopsticks from the table.
This actually made Ding Sihan feel a bit embarrassed. She quickly sat on the sofa, opened a drink, took small sips, and cheered Lin Li on.
*You motherfucker.*
*You're really Bai Bufan.*
Lin Li had a feeling that one day, Bai Bufan would be known as Little Ding Sihan.
*Forget it, I shouldn't have so little confidence in Bai Bufan. In the race of being a dog, he has led the pack for ten thousand years, almost a monopoly. Without state intervention, it won't be that easy for latecomers to catch up.*
*Hayek's invisible hand really should give Bai Bufan two slaps.*
As for Ding Sihan's bossy attitude, Lin Li didn't care at all. After all, he attacked Ding Sihan for no reason all day long. Ending up like this was what he deserved.
Lin Li would forget about this matter in ten or eight years, and wouldn't keep it in mind to find a chance to take revenge.
"Ding Sihan, go ask the Class Rep if she wants a late-night snack. There are still ingredients left. Just tell me on WeChat." Having completed a small task, Lin Li was in a good mood. He hadn't forgotten that he still needed Chen Yuying's approval, so he said.
"Okay." Ding Sihan nodded upon hearing this and walked towards the home theater room. After taking two steps, she suddenly turned around, narrowed her eyes at Lin Li, and questioned: "Lin Li, have I become a poison-testing eunuch? Have I become Bai Bufan?"
Lin Li: "?"
*How did she make that connection?*
*Oh, she thinks making her a late-night snack was me practicing.*
*This misunderstanding is too deep.*
"Ah, Ding, don't you think the first time is very precious? One day when I become a slut and cook for anyone who pays, it will seem even more precious, won't it? So, why care about these things? You profited."
Lin Li continued clearing the plates and said with a smile.
"Apologize to the chef profession right now! How does cooking for money make you a slut?!"
Ding Sihan's eyes widened upon hearing this. She didn't even understand how the conversation had veered in this direction.
"Isn't doing it for money being a slut?"
"...I give up."
Ding Sihan covered her face and left.
Humming a nameless tune, Lin Li heard the sound of a door opening and closing. He turned around and saw Chen Yuying walking over.
"Why did you come out, Class Rep? Aren't you going to continue watching the movie?" Lin Li asked with some confusion.
After all, she could have just contacted him on her phone, and it wouldn't even matter if he brought it in for her to eat later.
"I was curious that you actually know how to cook, so I came out to see." Chen Yuying walked up to Lin Li and said with a smile.
This was much more interesting than the climax and ending of the movie.
"So you want to eat?" Lin Li asked.
"Can you just make a little bit? It's not a good time to eat, and I'm not particularly hungry," Chen Yuying asked, tilting her head slightly with her hands behind her back.
"Anything is fine. I'm already a slut, so anything goes." Lin Li nodded with a tone of giving up.
Chen Yuying: "?"
After listening to Lin Li's explanation, Chen Yuying gave him a helpless look.
*This guy.*
"You really know how to cook?" When Lin Li actually started making the late-night snack, Chen Yuying also let out a somewhat surprised sigh.
"That's right, this is me." Lin Li was a bit smug.
"Then why did you tell us yesterday that you didn't know how?"
"In order to give Qu Wanqiu a chance to show herself, I was willing to hide my merit and fame." Lin Li continued with this rhetoric.
"But it didn't look like you were faking it."
*Damn it, Chen Yuying is actually a bit smarter than that idiot Ding Sihan.*
"Alright, the truth is that after my candied fruit failed yesterday, I learned from the painful experience and spent the whole night studying hard to master it, just to amaze you all."
Lin Li casually made up another reason, his tone and demeanor confident and arrogant:
"You have to know, for a great man like me, as long as I want to do something well, I will definitely succeed."
"What about math?" Chen Yuying asked.
"Math is an exception."
"What about physics?" Chen Yuying asked again.
"Physics is also an exception."
"What about chemistry?" Chen Yuying kept asking.
"Alright, alright, Class Rep. Just pretend I was farting just now. It's really impolite of you to keep asking. Sit down and wait to eat." Lin Li cheerfully tossed the wok and said.
Chen Yuying smiled and nodded.
Although she kept tearing him down, she actually felt that if Lin Li wanted to do something well, he really would succeed.
A small, exquisite late-night snack with a Michelin feel was quickly served.
"It tastes good. You're very impressive, Lin Li." After eating, Chen Yuying also gave her approval.
However, the task didn't react. This definitely wasn't hypocritical flattery, so it meant it hadn't reached the level of "heartfelt" recognized by the system?
*Understood, the Class Rep still isn't hungry enough.*
*I'll find a chance to starve the Class Rep for three days, and then let her eat this meal. Then she should truly approve from the bottom of her heart.*
*Unfortunately, Uncle Chen probably wouldn't allow me to starve his daughter like that.*
Lin Li wasn't in a hurry. He would just find another opportunity later.
After Chen Yuying finished eating, she consciously picked up the plate and went to the kitchen, preparing to clean up herself.
"Wait, wait, wait." Lin Li suddenly reached out to signal her not to rush.
Then, under Chen Yuying's confused gaze, Lin Li took out that one-yuan bill from his pocket and threw it in front of Chen Yuying: "Clean yourself up."
Chen Yuying: "?"
"This is a kind of inheritance, Class Rep." Lin Li looked sincere.
Chen Yuying didn't understand, but she respected it.
After the two of them thoroughly washed the dishes together, they returned to the home theater.
The movie was still playing, but it had reached the end. After all, the BGM had already started playing, and the male and female leads were already hugging and kissing with tears in their eyes.
Bai Bufan and Qu Wanqiu were still sleeping.
Lin Li's identity as a warm-hearted man needed no words. Seeing this, he stepped forward to cover Qu Wanqiu with a blanket and tightened Bai Bufan's collar around his neck.
Bai Bufan, finding it hard to breathe, instantly opened his eyes, glared at Lin Li who was choking him, and questioned: "What the fuck are you doing?"
"I'm measuring your neck circumference because I plan to buy you a necklace to commemorate our promiscuous brotherhood. So ignore me and go back to sleep. By the way, it's normal to feel a bit dizzy later."
Lin Li revealed a kind smile.
"Who the fuck taught you to measure neck circumference like this? If you want to kill me, just say so." Bai Bufan laughed out of anger.
Lin Li: "Oh, then I want to kill you."
Bai Bufan: "..."
*You motherfucker, you actually said it directly?*
*Now you know how to listen to advice?*
Slapping Lin Li's hand away, Bai Bufan sat up.
A few minutes later, the male and female leads lived happily ever after, and the credits rolled up.
It was already past twelve o'clock.
At least Lin Li should go to sleep.
Waking up Qu Wanqiu, the five of them returned to their respective floors.
"It's over. After that nap, I'm even more awake now." Returning to the second floor, Bai Bufan rubbed his shoulders and said.
So he decided to go play games for a while. Anyway, he didn't need to wake up early tomorrow.
Lin Li naturally didn't go.
After Bai Bufan left, Lin Li first checked the "Spirit Spring" and replaced the fully charged spirit stones with empty shells.
Then he opened the [Shop].
[You have purchased "Luck Rune" 1.]
[You have purchased "Random Quality Spirit Stone" 1.]
With a wave of his hand, Lin Li started spending money like water.
The output of one "Spirit Spring" only had a small surplus after meeting daily consumption. But barring any accidents, he would need spiritual energy in more and more places in the future. Now that he had more System Currency, he might as well get another "Spirit Spring" to extract from.
Three days had also passed, so using the "Luck Rune" wouldn't cause a backlash.
After sticking the "Luck Rune" on himself, Lin Li immediately used the "Random Quality Spirit Stone."
[You have obtained "High-Grade Spirit Stone" 1.]
"Eh?"
The "Luck Rune" still lost its activity and fell off, but the result was somewhat different from what Lin Li expected.
His fixed formula seemed to have gone wrong.
However, after thinking for a moment, Lin Li suddenly understood.
The "Luck Rune" only increased his probability of obtaining high-quality rewards, rather than guaranteeing he would get a "Spirit Spring."
—The "Luck Rune" losing its activity was the best proof.
If it could guarantee he would get the highest quality reward, then its luck should still have a surplus.
He had taken it for granted.
Lin Li materialized the "High-Grade Spirit Stone." Its volume was actually smaller than the low-grade one, but Lin Li could clearly feel that the quality of the spiritual energy it contained was far higher than the low-grade one.
Having nothing to do, Lin Li started using it to continue refining the "Duck Blood Flask."
The amount contained in the high-grade stone was exaggeratedly more than the low-grade one. Lin Li's spiritual energy absorption speed was now completely different from before, but after refining for ten minutes, only a tiny bubble appeared inside this spirit stone.
A conservative estimate was that one stone contained at least more than a hundred low-grade ones.
To some extent, this also solved Lin Li's worry about insufficient spiritual energy inventory when needed in the future.
And it would be more convenient to charge the "Spirit Spring" in the future. He wouldn't need to constantly replace empty shells. If this stone was used up, the "Spirit Spring" might not be able to fully charge it even in ten days or half a month.
Not too disappointed, Lin Li turned off the light and went to sleep.
The next day, the 5th.
[For one consecutive month, rise before Mao Shi (5-7 AM) to earnestly practice the Eight-Section Body Forging Art, and before Chen Shi (7-9 AM), accumulate at least half a shichen (1 hour) (29/30).]
He didn't expect a month's time to end so quickly.
Tomorrow he would be able to complete the task with the longest span he had experienced so far.
After exercising, Lin Li didn't rush back to the homestay. Instead, he stood outside and activated [Wind Control]—the CD had already accumulated one use, and in a few hours, he would have a second one.
The moment he activated it, the surrounding wind seemed to have a connection with him. Lin Li could sense their existence and where they were going.
*Twist.*
The wind that should have been blowing in his face, under Lin Li's thought, changed to blowing upwards. The influx of wind made Lin Li's clothes billow.
*Great, in the future I can secretly act like a hooligan on the street and play skirt-blowing (real-life version).*
*Yay.*
*Besides making that mother and son I met fly, isn't the reason I cultivate immortality to blow girls' skirts?*
Changing the wind direction wasn't difficult, but Lin Li could currently only distract himself to change the direction of two winds at the same time.
Then Lin Li started trying to generate wind himself.
Following his thought, this wind appeared out of thin air around him and blew towards the big tree beside him.
The leaves began to sway, making a rustling sound, and the tips of the branches also trembled slightly.
This wind wasn't small. It could blow the exam papers on a desk into the air and forcefully open a closed textbook.
This was Lin Li's current limit, and it couldn't last too long. His physical stamina was consumed very quickly.
If it was a gentle breeze, he could control it continuously, and the consumption was negligible.
It was more useful than the current stage of [Healing]. If it could grow with his strength, then the future was very promising. But he wasn't in a hurry to use the "Ability Amplifier." He only had two in his [Inventory], and who knows, he might encounter stronger abilities in the future.
Returning to the living room, he took the remaining ingredients from the refrigerator and made himself a simple breakfast. After eating, he activated [Photographic Memory] and memorized recipes, driving test knowledge, and ballet repertoires.
The [Photographic Memory] ability had a limit on accumulated uses. Not using it was a waste, so it was perfect for memorizing these things.
As for why he still memorized driving test knowledge after the task was completed, Lin Li figured he had already learned so much recently, so he might as well just take the driving test directly when he became an adult.
Just like yesterday, Chen Yuying came downstairs after eight o'clock.
After Chen Yuying finished breakfast, the two continued to go out to practice driving.
The task was completed, but practicing driving was practicing driving.
However, there wasn't much need for Lin Li's part today. Chen Yuying was gradually getting familiar with it on her own.
After riding the scooter for half an hour, she even proactively asked Lin Li to drive the electric scooter to this open space and let her try it.
With yesterday's experience, plus it being an off-road section, Chen Yuying rode very smoothly by herself, and asked Lin Li to record another video.
...
Chen Zhongping, who was actually also in Shanting, put down his phone and frowned.
After confirming that his daughter always took a taxi when going out, and this electric scooter was only Lin Li and Bai Bufan's transportation, he felt a little relieved.
But yesterday she was riding a bicycle, and today it's an electric scooter?
The steps were too big, not pragmatic at all.
He was talking about Yingying's teacher.
From this, it could be deduced:
*This guy Lin Li, today he dares to breathe, tomorrow he'll dare to slap me, her father, in the face, and the day after tomorrow he'll dare to commit murder, arson, and all kinds of evil.*
With reason and evidence, objective and fair, Chen Zhongping believed there was no element of slander.
Yingying refusing to let him go see her just now must have been instigated by this kid too.
Therefore, this child absolutely could not be kept.
[Chen Zhongping: You there?]
[AAAA Cement Wholesale: Bro, I'm here. Are you renovating again?]
[Chen Zhongping: If I arrange for a kid to visit your factory, could he accidentally fall into your machine?]
[Chen Zhongping: Is there a risk of him surviving?]
