Chapter 280: There's a Fool, I'm Not Saying Who_2
"Damn... I give up... You're awesome, I'll admit it, damn!"
...
The first class on Monday is naturally the class meeting.
After Xue Jian walked in, he routinely asked if anyone had handed in their phones, but this week only a few people did.
Bai Bufan was not among them.
"The sports meet is over, so it's time to refocus your minds."
"The midterm exams are coming up soon, there haven't been any changes to the schedule; they're set for next week, on the sixth, seventh, and eighth of November, so it's only a few days away from now. The midterm exam results are definitely more important than the monthly exams, so everyone must adopt a more serious attitude towards them."
"Moreover, after the results of this midterm exam are out, the class will choose a time to hold a parent-teacher meeting. If you perform better, both your parents and you will feel more comfortable then."
Xue Jian sat on the lectern, slowly looking at his phone while talking about future arrangements.
[The path to the top, there's only moving forward, using others as stepping stones, not just as a background; having made a stunning appearance, the second strike will be powerful, proclaiming to the world that one is by no means a fleeting meteor.]
[Task Triggered!]
[Task Two: In the Nansang Sect competition, rank in the top ten of the sect's genius list, and in any martial arts competition, take the top prize in the sect.]
[Reward: Physical Improvement: Wisdom increased by 20%; Divine Sense and spirit increased by 100%; Random Magical Item*1.]
Lin Li was not surprised when he looked at the system. Frankly, he would be surprised if no task popped up now.
Two names on one list.
Meaning this time the task is to get into the top ten in the grade and achieve the top score in any subject?
This way, he could get onto the list once for being in the top ten, and again for progressing forty ranks for the progress star.
Normally, progressing by forty ranks isn't enough to be the progress star, but if Lin Li advances from grade 51 to the top ten and previously was in rank 400, he qualifies for both.
Chen Yu Ying was just sixth in the grade on the last exam, which does present a bit of a challenge, needing some effort.
But Lin Li felt confident he could handle it.
This past month, his wisdom and spirit have grown rapidly without any slack.
Tomorrow's Lin Li will always be stronger than yesterday's Lin Li.
Being in the top ten in the grade isn't difficult, if worse comes to worst, he could just bring out the list from the last exam and eliminate ranks 1-5 and 7-41, completing the task.
As for the top score in a single subject, Lin Li hadn't paid much attention, but as long as the papers weren't intentionally made more difficult, he felt there was a good chance of scoring full marks in Biology, Technology, or Geography.
"Bai Bufan, you'd better get on the honor list this time, the motto grudge, I haven't forgotten," thinking of this, Lin Li turned towards Bai Bufan with a cold smile.
"The spotlight won't be yours alone, I have confidence too!" Bai Bufan was not afraid.
This semester, influenced by Lin Li, he has been more serious as well.
Moreover, his room for improvement is much bigger than Lin Li's, which is a victory in itself.
According to the recursive victory method, he's again undefeated.
...
"...Do not think a small good is not worth doing, but more importantly, do not consider a small evil worth doing. I hope everyone will take this as a lesson; if anyone follows Wang Tongxue's actions, the school will punish sternly!" On the playground, Zhao Hai summarized seriously.
[Task Five Completed.]
[You have received a reward: Physical Improvement: Wisdom increased by 10%; Breath Concealment ability increased by 100%; System Currency*100]
The weather today was pleasant, certainly after the morning meeting.
And Zhao Hai had kept his word, criticizing Wang Yuhui at today's morning meeting, even changing the weekly topic under the national flag to focus on integrity and character.
I don't know if the seniors also reported it.
But anyway, the task went as predicted and completed.
As for the buff on the Breath Concealment ability, after receiving it, Lin Li didn't feel much; the sound of breathing seems quieter?
Perhaps it will make sneaking around easier.
Lin Li glanced at the system; the historical system currency acquired had reached 2800.
[Random Quality Spirit Stone...]
[...]
[Life-extending Pill: 100 system currency (limit of 1 per day for purchase)]
[Unlockable Refreshable Product Slot 6, requires cumulatively gaining 3600 system currency. (2800/3600)]
[Life-extending Pill: Consuming it depending on the absorption extent of the medicinal power, extends the lifespan of a mortal or cultivator by ten to thirty years, with subsequent use of the pill, effects will be greatly reduced to near insignificance.]
It seems the unlocking of product slots is a step increase, probably next requiring 4500 system currency.
As for the unlocked new product, defying yet not defying, useful yet not totally useful.
Such a pill appearing in the Cultivation Realm isn't surprising, but in modern times the effect is unarguably against natural laws; although without external help mortals should only increase lifespan by ten years if publicized and convinced the world, it could sell for tens of billions each undoubtedly beyond demand.
The allure of 'Longevity'.
None of the financial schemes in the penal law are this quick.
However, Lin Li wouldn't do that, nor would he exchange for it.
—Extending lifespan is undoubtedly useful, but for Lin Li who is young now, and whose close ones are not very old either, it's not particularly urgent.
Find an occasion to make herbal mooncakes for Sister Min and exchange it then.
Next refresh chance should be used on "Quality Upgrading Talisman," leaving the pill in the [Marketplace] for future needs.
...
Noon.
Because Xue Jian notified the midterm exam time, unsurprisingly, there were more people in the classroom at noon, diluting the bond of the trio.
