After displaying Japanese bowing spirit and promising big things like a mature man, Lin Li escaped with difficulty from the haunted Class 4 classroom.
He planned to eat Lanzhou beef noodles for lunch today.
Walking through the door, it was indeed the unusually familiar setup.
Children doing homework, a man wearing a characteristic hat making noodles, a woman wearing a headscarf moonlighting as a waitress, incomprehensible dialect used for communication, and the restaurant filled with the aroma of beef and mutton.
He'd been to so many Lanzhou beef noodle shops in his life. Similar decor was understandable, but why was the staff configuration the same too? Could this be a franchise requirement?
However, after the noodles arrived, this shop wasn't very authentic—the meat actually wasn't transparent.
After eating, Lin Li went to the stationery store to pick up Zhou Baowei's package.
Judging by the package size, it definitely wasn't a Spring Breeze Elf.
That made sense too. Everyone talked about it, but excluding college, how many high schoolers actually did this sort of thing in dorms? Everyone's time in dorms was basically synchronized. Could they really be studying finance in the dorms?
—There's a term in finance called hedging.
If they really wanted to start ranked matches, buying the NetEase version of Spring Breeze Elf for online competitions would be more suitable.
Moreover, not everyone brought phones like Bai Bufan. They couldn't rely purely on imagination, right? Hard charging would only hurt the body.
But now Lin Li could better laugh at Baowei's morning despair. He was just talking big, but Chen Yuying would probably take it seriously—wasn't this putting a shit pot on his own head?
Carrying the package, Lin Li went to the Class 4 dorms, recalled the layout, and found Zhou Baowei and Bai Bufan's room.
"Knock knock knock." Lin Li knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Bai Bufan had eaten quite quickly today and was already back. His voice came from inside.
"Host, writer, folk singer, bartender, oil painter, leather craftsman, silversmith, frame drum artist, old backpacker, investment advisor, French knight, abstract genius Lin Li." Lin Li answered.
"Our dorm can't fit so many people. Please try another dorm, okay?"
"Okay."
"Good boy?"
"Pat pat."
Password correct. The dorm door immediately opened.
Classic setup—six-person dorm, three bunk beds, two rows of long desks and chairs. The environment was pretty good though, not like some garbage schools whose decor style was only suitable for Damascus "roses" built on ruins—like Syria.
Only three people were in the dorm. The other three hadn't returned yet or were visiting other rooms.
"Baowei, your computer parts." Lin Li had been to this dorm before. He tossed the package to Baowei sitting in a chair, then naturally lay down on his bed, sprawling out unceremoniously and rubbing against the blanket.
Zhou Baowei had long resigned himself to his lower bunk being a public area. After catching the package, he just sighed helplessly.
"Lin Li, be careful." Bai Bufan reached toward Lin Li's upper bunk, searching for his phone under the bedding while reminding: "There are precious artifacts on Baowei's bed, ancestral ones. If you break them, you probably can't afford to pay for them."
"Really?" Lin Li sat up upon hearing this.
Zhou Baowei also turned his head—how come I don't know about this myself?
"Really. Baowei's bed has paper from the State of Lu with Jin characters on it, witnessing cultural exchange between ancient states. Have you seen 'National Treasure'? Remember those 2000-year-old fingerprints? I think Baowei's artifact is also very romantic. I wonder if it has a chance to be on that show." Bai Bufan spoke convincingly.
Lin Li looked toward the pillow and indeed saw tissues: "..."
Why they were ancestral, Lin Li didn't need to ask. This sort of thing could easily be extrapolated—what was ancestral was the DNA on them.
Just the romantic part, Lin Li didn't quite agree with.
But he had to admit, if it could get on a show, it would probably have good program effects.
"That's for blowing my nose, stop spreading rumors!" Zhou Baowei got angry in his anger.
After finding his phone, Bai Bufan sat on Zhou Baowei's bed.
Lin Li directly seized the phone and opened his short video platform.
First, check the composition.
Lin Li first opened the browser.
"You're really a dog! But fortunately I was prepared." Bai Bufan sneered.
Damn, incognito browsing.
But Lin Li always had other methods. He clicked on the browser's bookmarked URLs, planning to see what Bai Bufan had bookmarked.
"Alright, well, that's enough. Looking further would be impolite." But Lin Li's hand was pressed down, and Bai Bufan said seriously.
Lin Li laughed loudly, then prepared to return to the main screen.
"?"
"Bai Bufan, why is your phone's home button set to screenshot?" After Lin Li took a screenshot and froze, he then pressed volume up and power button, finally returning to the main screen.
"Because I rooted my phone. I don't want my phone to be picked up and used directly by enemies after I sacrifice myself on the battlefield!" Bai Bufan proudly puffed out his chest.
"Bai Chenguang, have you considered what it means if your phone is picked up by your teammates on the battlefield?" Lin Li asked seriously.
Bai Bufan was stumped. After thinking for a long time, he nodded heavily: "That's their bad luck."
Lin Li gave a thumbs up.
Opening TikTok, Lin Li scrolled through five videos.
Three female bodhisattvas, one gaming video, and one manga introduction video that needed heroes to appear in the comments.
"Your life is truly completely over." Lin Li expressed approval again.
"I don't usually watch these." Bai Bufan said sincerely. "Also, when you talk to me, could you look at me instead of at the bodhisattvas? It's a bit rude. If you really like them, I'll transfer their TikTok accounts to you later."
"I only feel scorn for this, but do transfer them to me. I need to collect evidence with a critical eye. When the evidence is gathered, that's when the golden bodies of the female bodhisattvas will collapse." Lin Li shook his head. Though his head was shaking, his eyeballs weren't.
More stable than an owl's head.
"After I forward them to you, you can look slowly. Let's get to business first—we don't have much time." Bai Bufan said.
Lin Li opened messages.
"Bufan, I have a question for you."
"What?"
"Why does this user called 'Good Grandson' have the same avatar as me? When I clicked on it, his TikTok handle seems to be the same as mine too." Lin Li asked with a smile.
"This proves you have good taste—the avatar you chose is publicly recognized! It couldn't possibly be the nickname I gave you, right? What a joke." Bai Bufan also smiled, then turned into a horrified smile.
A moment later.
Lin Li sat on Bai Bufan's corpse opening chat records one by one.
...
"Bai Bufan: Hook up?"
"Loves Green Grapes: Add V 300."
"Bai Bufan: Can we hook up after adding V?"
"Loves Green Grapes: Add V first, then we'll talk."
"Bai Bufan: The stock market's been bad lately, I'm a student, can you make it cheaper? How about three yuan?"
"Loves Green Grapes: Lol, why don't you say you're a newborn? Wouldn't it be better if I gave you V for free?"
"Bai Bufan: Thanks for understanding, sis. I am a newborn."
"Bai Bufan: Didn't receive it? I'm a newborn, hello hello, I'm a newborn."
"Bai Bufan: Are you there? Why are you reading but not replying? Give me V?"
"Due to the other party's privacy settings, they cannot receive your messages."
...
"Bai Bufan: How much per time."
"Xiling Angel: We're green outdoor companionship services, 12 hours for 3k, all expenses during that time paid by you, boss."
"Bai Bufan: Green? Green services cost this much?"
"Xiling Angel: Of course it's green. If you only need 6 hours of daytime companionship, the price is only 800."
"Bai Bufan: At night there's nowhere to go outside, only gaming. This costs 2200? Who would order this kind of companionship? For this, I could just call an online sweet girl to game with me for only dozens of yuan per hour."
"Xiling Angel: Idiot who can't understand human speech."
"Bai Bufan: ?"
"Due to the other party's privacy settings, they cannot receive your messages."
"Bai Bufan: Why are you blocking people? Your pricing really is unreasonable!"
"Due to the other party's privacy settings, they cannot receive your messages."
