The System is Abstract, Luckily, So Am I

Chapter 230 : Lin Li is Really Yasashi (Gentle)

These days, you can even see people trying to cyberbully Hayao Miyazaki.

Lin Li ignored the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Chen Tianming. Approaching the long jump rope area and seeing the situation clearly, he shouted:

"Ding Sihan, stop your legs!"

"Ah?"

Then, taking advantage of Ding Sihan's daze, Lin Li dashed to the front of the crowd, covered his head, jumped when the rope hit the ground, and quickly ducked out.

Ding Sihan, who had been cut in line and followed him to jump, got hit on the leg by the rope.

"Haha, trash." Looking back and seeing this, Lin Li put his hands on his hips, pointed at Ding Sihan, threw his head back, and laughed loudly in mockery.

"You messed up my rhythm! And you have the nerve to bark? I'll show you who's trash! I'll show you who's trash!" Humiliated and angry, Ding Sihan chased after Lin Li and started kicking him.

"My school uniform pants are custom-made, one thousand eight hundred! One thousand eight hundred!" So Lin Li ran while covering his butt.

One thousand eight hundred got dirty.

The two returned to the long jump rope area.

Nansang's version of this event used a "figure-8 rope jumping" format, meaning all participants entered and exited the rope loop in sequence following a figure-8 path. The winner was decided by the number of jumps completed within 3 minutes.

The rule was two people swinging the rope and eight participants jumping. However, there were a lot of people right now because they were watching to see who jumped well to decide who would participate later.

Lin Li naturally blended in and made almost no mistakes, except he was always worried about the rope hitting his head, so he jumped while covering his head every time.

"How are you jumping so well?" Ding Sihan, who was behind him, asked hesitantly.

"Talent, of course. It couldn't possibly be because when I was in elementary school, I would tell my bros that jumping rubber bands was a childish game for sissies, but actually, the first thing I did every day after school when I got back to my neighborhood was to start chanting 'Jumping rubber bands I'm number one, Malan flowers bloom twenty-one, two five six, two five seven, two eight two nine thirty-one' with the neighbor kids and practice, right?

"Hah—, hah—." It was too long, Lin Li almost suffocated saying it.

Lin Li suddenly realized that long, complex sentences were in a way, language deep-throating him.

Ding Sihan: "..."

"That's really impressive, Lin Li. I feel like you're quite suited for this event," Chen Yuying walked over and said.

"Whatever works. I'm an all-around player anyway. I'm a brick for Class 4, move me wherever I'm needed! Loyal! Honest! Just give the order, Class Rep, and no matter what event it is, I'll immediately defect! Flee!" Lin Li saluted and swore an oath on the spot.

Chen Yuying was already used to it and nodded: "I'll see when the time comes. Lin Li, are you good at any other events? Like this 'crossing the river by feeling the stones', everyone is having a hard time getting used to it."

Lin Li looked in the direction Chen Yuying pointed. There were three bricks placed on the ground.

The so-called "crossing the river by feeling the stones" game required participants to use these three bricks as stepping stones to move from the starting line to the finish line. During the process, no part of the body could touch the ground, otherwise, they had to start over.

Nansang used a relay format for this. For a 15-meter path, six people were responsible for three round trips, and the total time consumed was calculated.

"This is easy."

Lin Li nodded easily, walked up, weighed the bricks in his hands, and then started "crossing the river."

The most conventional way to walk was to step on one brick with each foot, then move the third brick to the front and advance one brick, repeating this process.

Lin Li started off this way too, and his speed wasn't fast, seemingly adapting.

But after only a few meters, Lin Li directly put one brick aside and used only two bricks—when lifting his foot, his hand pulled out the brick behind him, and when his foot landed, this brick was placed exactly at the landing spot in front.

This method was very fast, but it also required a certain level of technique. Bai Bufan, who was also trying this event on the other side, widened his eyes.

If Lin Li can do it, why can't I? So Bai Bufan also gave it a try.

Mhm.

Stepping on his own hand really hurt.

"Easy." After easily finishing the walk, Lin Li stood up and snapped his fingers.

"So the third stone was actually redundant?" Chen Yuying covered her slightly surprised, open lips with her hand and sighed.

"Not redundant. I've already figured out how to use that stone," Lin Li waved his hand. He was an expert and had his own clever tricks.

"What use?"

"I'll put it in my pocket later. Whoever is in front of our class's team, I'll throw it at them," Lin Li said with unreasonable confidence.

Chen Yuying: "?"

Is that how bricks are supposed to be used?

Eh.

Bricks do seem to be used that way.

"The school won't allow that," Chen Yuying said with a smile.

"Why not? Other people are as useless as Bai Bufan and need three bricks. I saved one, so shouldn't throwing it at people be my freedom?" Lin Li got angry.

"If someone gives up the competition, they can save three bricks. Lin Li, who do you think they'll throw them at?" Bai Bufan spoke lazily from the side, not forgetting to aim at Lin Li's head, weighing the brick in his hand.

He was turning a blind eye to it.

Lin Li: "?"

Makes sense.

"I support all school rules! Student safety is the most important thing!" Lin Li looked serious.

The girls laughed out loud.

Then Lin Li tested all the other fun events he could.

He achieved good results in all of them.

To achieve these results, Lin Li attributed it to the 100% increase in limb control ability and the 40% increase in comprehension. The latter sped up his understanding of the key points of these fun events, while the former quickly turned his understood "theoretical experience" into practice, making it hard to fail even if he wanted to.

Listening to the girls' exclamations and unsparing praise, Lin Li's little tail was about to point to the sky.

Besides making that mother and son he had met fly, wasn't the purpose of his cultivation for this very moment?

"Really impressive. In that case, when I arrange for the students in the class who aren't good at sports to participate in one fun event each, for the sake of victory, we'll have to send you out as much as possible for the rest, Lin Li," Chen Yuying said.

"No problem, leave it to me," Lin Li patted his chest.

"I lost my wallet, Lin Li. Can you help me find it?" Bai Bufan suddenly said out of nowhere.

"No problem, leave it to me," Lin Li understood immediately.

"Then why don't you give it back to me, you thief!"

"...What a lame joke." Chen Yuying and Ding Sihan reacted after a while and said with a smile.

"By the way, Class Rep, are you participating in any competitive events?" Lin Li asked.

"I'm participating in the 200 and 400 meters, but just to make up the numbers. Getting participation points is enough," Chen Yuying nodded and answered.

Chen Yuying's sports performance could be understood as being at the tail end of the first tier among the girls in the class.

"Making up the numbers" was a modest way of putting it, but getting a good ranking in the sports meeting was indeed a bit difficult; it depended on the level of the other competitors.

"What about long-distance running? Who's running the girls' 3000 meters?" Lin Li asked.

Nansang Middle School also had a 3000-meter event for girls. For girls to participate in this required even more courage than for boys to participate in the 3000 meters.

"Currently, only Wanqiu is confirmed," Chen Yuying said.

Although Qu Wanqiu was very lazy, she was indeed the best runner among the girls—although Xie Wenjing was a sports student, her specialty was the shot put, and she wasn't good at running.

"What, so we're comrades-in-arms!" Lin Li waved Qu Wanqiu over, then extended his hand in mutual appreciation.

"Have you washed your hands?" Qu Wanqiu glanced at Lin Li's hand and hesitated.

Lin Li: "?"

What kind of Celestial Dragon is Little Pigtails?

So the handshake turned into an international middle finger.

"3000 meters! 3000 meters! So annoying!" Wang Ze, seemingly hearing Lin Li talking about the 3000 meters, walked up dejectedly and shook Lin Li's shoulders frantically.

"What's the matter?" Lin Li asked while shaking along with him.

"I can't find another idiot in the class who's willing to run long distances like you. Why won't anyone even make up the numbers? Lin Li, hurry up and use your idiot power to infect everyone else into idiots too," Wang Ze's words were crude but true.

Lin Li was about to say he couldn't help, but the Idea King suddenly had an idea.

"Wang Ze, if I can help you find a guy to run the 3000 meters, how will you repay me?" he asked.

Wang Ze answered: "My passionate and sincere love."

Lin Li walked away.

"No, no, no, Lin Li, if you can really find someone, from now on you are my adoptive father. If you say east, I will never go west. I will follow your lead," Wang Ze quickly changed his tune.

"Men's mouths are deceitful ghosts. Don't say such bullshit. How about this: if I find someone, you owe me ten small, reasonable requests," Lin Li waved his hand and said.

Hearing "small requests," Chen Yuying suddenly felt the soles of her feet itch.

Could Lin Li be interested in boys' feet too?

"Tell me roughly what kind of requests first?" Wang Ze was still very cautious about the bastard Lin Li.

"Like helping me buy drinks, helping me beat up Bufan, beat up Baowei, things like that," Lin Li didn't think about feet at all.

"Sigh! Is that it? Deal! You don't even need to ask me to beat up Bufan and Baowei, I'd gladly do it!" Wang Ze was instantly relieved.

Bai Bufan: "?"

"I feel like you guys are being a bit impolite. I protest," he said.

Meat buns ignore dogs, humans ignore Bai Bufan.

"Deal!"

"Who are you looking for? I've asked around, and no one is willing." With the agreement reached, Wang Ze asked curiously.

Could Lin Li have some blackmail material on the guys in the back row that I don't know about?

"Let me be clear first, I can't possibly participate in this, seriously." Bai Bufan immediately retreated ten meters, maintaining an absolutely safe distance, and shouted at Lin Li—he had to shout from this far away to be heard.

One thousand meters was already killing him; three thousand meters was repeated execution.

"I wasn't counting on you, you useless thing. Class Rep, don't leave yet, you are an indispensable witness."

Lin Li said disdainfully. After instructing Chen Yuying beside him, he looked at his target, the existence who occasionally looked at him, whose gaze was too intense to ignore:

"Yuezhi, come here for a second!"

"What for?" Wang Yuezhi walked over reluctantly, looking at Lin Li warily.

He had been perfectly fine jumping the long rope with Chen Yuying, but as soon as this bastard Lin Li came, he lured Chen Yuying away to play other fun events.

So annoying.

Wang Ze looked at Wang Yuezhi in surprise. Although he had "asked around," he had indeed only asked the people he was familiar with. He wasn't familiar with Wang Yuezhi, and his running was average, so Wang Ze felt there was no need to ask him.

Could this guy be a hidden long-distance running enthusiast?

"I'm going to assign you an errand task," Lin Li wore a gentle smile.

"Tell me, I'll just run it," Wang Yuezhi nodded.

He wasn't a sore loser. Mainly, Chen Yuying remembered the bet very clearly, and Lin Li was somewhat decent, making Wang Yuezhi call him "Dad" in private, at least not embarrassing him in front of Chen Yuying.

The original bet, besides calling him "Dad," also included three reasonable errand tasks. Wang Yuezhi hadn't forgotten.

"Did you hear that? Wang Yuezhi agreed. Just fill in his name for the 3000-meter and 1500-meter runner." Teachable, no need to say more, so Lin Li immediately said happily.

"OK! Liberated! Thanks, Wang Yuezhi, you truly are a member of our Wang family! You live up to the surname!" Wang Ze clapped his hands happily!

Wang Yuezhi: "Ah? What are you guys talking about—"

Wang Yuezhi: "?"

Wait.

What the fuck were these two guys just saying??

"—Cough, cough, cough!"

Wang Yuezhi spat a mouthful of saliva into the air. Fortunately, Lin Li dodged quickly with Chen Yuying, and there were no casualties.

Wang Yuezhi didn't care about catching his breath. He widened his eyes and looked at Lin Li, his pupils quaking at least a magnitude 8 earthquake, his voice trembling: "Lin Li, you fucking call running 3000 meters and 1500 meters an errand task?"

It was obvious that Wang Yuezhi was really surprised, because it was quite rare to hear swear words from his mouth—especially with Chen Yuying present.

As for Chen Yuying, she was now standing diagonally behind Lin Li, lowering her head, secretly laughing uncontrollably. When no one was looking, she even secretly punched Lin Li.

Lin Li was really bad.

"Errand, run, leg, run and leg. No matter how you look at it, if the 3000 meters isn't an errand task, what is?" Lin Li made a running motion in place, swinging his arms and lifting his legs, looking like it was a matter of course.

The words were crude, but the logic was sound.

Wang Yuezhi: "..."

He wanted to curse.

No, Lin Li wasn't human, he wanted to curse a beast.

"No, no, no!" Wang Yuezhi quickly waved his hands. Making him run 3000 meters would kill him too. "We agreed on three reasonable errand tasks, but this is already unreasonable."

"If during the big break, I asked you to go from the classroom to the school store to buy me a bottle of water, would that task be unreasonable?" Lin Li asked almost without thinking.

"That's not unreasonable, of course I can accept that," Wang Yuezhi nodded.

"Then there you go. Including the distance up and down the stairs, the round trip from our classroom to the store is almost two kilometers. How about this: you're supposed to run three errands for me, right? Perfect, these three errands will be the 1500-meter race, the first 1500 meters of the 3000-meter race, and the last 1500 meters of the 3000-meter race. Perfect! Perfect!"

Wang Yuezhi: "???"

Wait.

Quiet, let me think.

Is this right? This isn't right, is it?

Did you motherfucker plan all this from the beginning?

Looking at the dumbfounded Wang Yuezhi, Lin Li felt his logic was completely flawless.

Then why does Chen Yuying keep secretly punching me in the back?

Damn it, the Class Rep is actually hitting me for Wang Yuezhi.

Lin Li wanted to dye his hair green.

"No, no, no, no, no!" His eyes lighting up, Wang Yuezhi seemed to have grasped a lifeline. His brain reconnected, and he quickly denied it again: "Lin Li, if I go to the store to buy things for you, there's no need to rush at all. The big break is twenty minutes long. This cannot be compared to a race!"

"Right, right, right, right." Lin Li wagged his finger in front of Wang Yuezhi: "Yuezhi, we don't expect you to get a good ranking either. Our goal is purely to get the basic participation points and give Wang Ze his freedom back.

"So you still don't need to rush at all. Just treat it like going to buy things during the big break. Not to mention twenty minutes, even if you run for twenty hours, it's fine, as long as you finish. Isn't this easier than going to buy things?"

Wang Yuezhi: "?????"

Wait again.

Quiet again, let me think again.

Eh? It seems like it really is just a pure errand task now?

Seeing that Wang Yuezhi still wanted to argue, Lin Li frowned slightly: "Yuezhi, I've broken down the logic for you. This was the bet between us bros. You can't be a sore loser. What do you think? You don't want to back out, do you? Sigh, that's fine too..."

Wang Yuezhi looked up, glanced at Lin Li, then at the notary Chen Yuying, and suddenly felt that he was indeed being a bit "unreasonable," so he quickly retorted:

"Who said I'm backing out! Fine! I'll run! I just have to run, right!"

Fuck.

A second after he said it, Wang Yuezhi regretted it.

What kind of bullshit did I just say?

Because Chen Yuying was present, Wang Yuezhi, whose brain had just overheated, could only grit his teeth and say: "But Lin Li, remember, from now on, we are even. I don't owe you anything anymore!"

"OK! I trust you! Wang Ze, did you hear that! You're liberated!" Lin Li gave Wang Yuezhi a thumbs up and turned to look at Wang Ze.

"Thank you, adoptive father! In the future, when you beat up Bufan and Baowei, just call for your adoptive son!" Wang Ze was moved to tears!

"Wang Yuezhi, I'll cheer for you when the time comes," Chen Yuying, standing diagonally behind Lin Li, said politely to Wang Yuezhi at this time.

Anyway, she would definitely go watch Lin Li run and cheer for him. They were all classmates together, it was just a matter of saying a few more words.

Wang Yuezhi: "!"

Eh?

Cheer for him?

Hehe.

Gulu gulu gulu.

After chatting with Wang Ze, Lin Li looked in surprise at Wang Yuezhi, who was suddenly standing there giggling foolishly. What happened?

Where did these pink bubbles come from?

Although he didn't know why, a happy ending for everyone was achieved.
