Chapter 916 - 430: When the Feeling Comes, It’s Hard Not to Speak from the Heart (Part 3)
Lin Li praised, truly a devoted disciple.
Zheng Hong put down the water bottle, his voice much clearer compared to the previous hoarseness: "Not a pack, just one."
"How is that possible," Liu Feng said speechlessly, "One cigarette wouldn't have such a strong smell, Master, I'm not the mistress, nor do I snitch, why are you trying to fool me?"
Zheng Hong: "Who lied to you, it is just one, but it's a lighter."
Lin Li, Liu Feng: "?"
"I just ran out of gas on a lighter at the school gate. If I hadn't borrowed a light from the security guard, I almost couldn't smoke." Zheng Hong sighed, pulling a lighter out of his pocket.
Lin Li and Liu Feng fell silent.
This description has surpassed their imagination limit.
However, Lin Li was sharp-eyed and pointed at the lighter in Zheng Hong's hand, which still obviously had half a bottle of liquid, and questioned, "Master Zheng, your butane in the lighter is still half full? How did it run out?"
Zheng Hong was equally perplexed by the question, paused for a second, then silently pulled out a truly empty lighter shell from another pocket.
Placing the two lighters side by side, he scratched his head in embarrassment after a moment of silence:
"F*ck~ I habitually took the security guard's lighter, Liu, remind me to return it when leaving the school later."
Liu Feng, Lin Li: "..."
F*ck, you smokers really have dirty hands.
"It was an accident! It wasn't intentional!" Zheng Hong blushed from their disdainful looks and quickly changed the topic, "Let's work, let's get to work! Hurry up and start the job!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
The main task for noon was to replace the electrical components they brought.
With electronic components, Lin Li could only observe from afar and not play with them. The parts he could handle were all concerning screws, rusty parts, and the external work on the distribution cabinet.
No incidents occurred.
All noon, although Zheng Hong felt like smoking again after an hour, he managed to resist it in the end.
Actually, Lin Li thought it would be fine for Zheng Hong to smoke, maybe it could trigger some new task.
As the noon break was about to end, there was still some replacement work left incomplete.
The three did not rush to finish these "leftovers" as this kind of work couldn't be hastened; moreover, electricity would be restored after the break and it wasn't suitable to "overtime."
Thus, the three decided to leave the remaining work until tomorrow, when they'd also check the working status of these components.
...
At night.
The admission ticket for the Learning Wisdom Cup was distributed tonight, as it was randomly allocated, the five people from Class Four were all assigned to different examination venues.
As soon as the school bell rang, Lin Li immediately started the internet café patrol mode identical to last night's.
Similarly uneventful, if there was anything to say, it would be encountering Wang Lei again, but since he wasn't smoking when he happened upon him this time, he was especially arrogant.
When the time was almost close to 12 o'clock.
[Face-to-face dissuasion succeeded one hundred times (100/100) in a zone where smoking Carefree Powder is forbidden.]
[Task Three completed.]
[You have received rewards: Physical Improvement: Spiritual Qi absorption speed increased by 300%; Random Pills*1; System Currency*100]
[You have obtained "Turtle Breath Guarding God Pill"]
[Turtle Breath Guarding God Pill: Upon consumption, enter a pseudo-death state, heartbeat stops, breath ceases, Divine Sense retreats to the core of the consciousness sea; hard to detect by non-God Transformation stage Nascent Soul Cultivators; lasts up to three hours, minimal outer world perception during, can terminate pseudo-death state early.]
A pseudo-death medicine.
No use, at least for now, just let it gather dust in the warehouse.
Lin Li looked at the system.
[Upon recent inquiry, you've realized the extent of Carefree Powder infiltration in cultivators, significantly harmful, yet not heavily investigated due to current laws.]
[Seeing many small ones sidestepping the edge of the law, why not capture their leader and unleash a thunderous strike as a warning to others!]
[Limited-time task triggered!]
[Task Three: Within two months, stop and punish at least two cases of evil cultivators attempting crimes related to Carefree Powder (0/2)]
[Task rewards: Title: Immune to Hundred Toxins; Physical Improvement: Martial arts talent increased by 100%, random ability*1; System Currency*200.]
["Immune to Hundred Toxins": Once equipped, no toxins can negatively affect you by any means, and by touch, you can stop toxins from spreading within other living beings and slowly expel them.]
Following the task completion notification, the new task promptly appeared.
The reward includes a title, looks like it's the last one in this series of tasks.
This title should be quite useful in real life.
There's a saying about eating mushrooms first and they lead to seeing small men later.
But if you receive this title, you won't have to worry about such occurrences.
Once obtained, you can directly taste raw Amanita hemibapha.
Furthermore, Lin Li noticed that the title mentions immunity only to negative effects, meaning the positive effects of toxins can still be enjoyed.
F*ck, if I wear this title and become an addict, will I only get high and not addicted? Just kidding.
With Yellow Heaven above, Lin Li vows to never coexist with gambling or poison.
Moreover, considering how to use the reward seems a little premature now.
Lin Li's focus locked onto the task details.
Actually, it's quite simple, based on previous experience, it clearly means searching for and capturing criminal cases related to tobacco.
And surely it has to be weighty, similar to previous illegal crimes.
In reality, the more common tobacco-related crimes are probably smuggling cigarettes, producing fake cigarettes, or operating without a license.
Once again in a field that Lin Li had never been involved with.
But thankfully, he's not fighting alone; previous tasks have laid some foundation for him.
Lin Li directly took out his phone and contacted the Stool.
"Time for a new task, help me gather information on illegal tobacco activities, terms and rewards are the same as last time."
The Stool didn't immediately reply, so Lin Li then contacted another person.
"Lin Li: "Rose" "Rose" "Rose""
