The System is Abstract, Luckily, So Am I

Lin Li lost.

The Eight-Stage Body Forging Technique really couldn't beat the White Tiger automatic rifle.

After all, beyond seven steps guns are faster, and within seven steps guns are both accurate and fast without needing to scope.

Bai Bufan was like a victorious general, turning his head proudly like a peacock, raising his head and butt as he strutted to the bathroom with cat-like steps.

Lin Li smiled and moved too. For this kind of silly kid, one Thousand Years of Death would make him behave.

"Lin Li, your mom—"

Lin Li ignored him, because having just practiced martial arts, he felt his body now needed to release the warm currents.

So he also got up and went to the bathroom.

...

"For the math weekend homework, just finish the exercises corresponding to these two sections. Class dismissed, everyone be careful on your way home." Today was Friday, and the last class was Xue Jian's math class. After hearing the dismissal bell, he didn't extend class either. After simple instructions, he left with his middle-aged man's essential thermos.

For some unknown reason, even when Xue Jian drank plain water, he had to use the thermos lid to skim off tea foam.

"Awesome!"

Everyone immediately stood up, packed their things, and prepared to leave the classroom.

"Lin Li, gaming tonight!" Bai Bufan jumped up as if coming alive, not taking anything, just grabbing his backpack ready to leave.

—At boarding schools, weekends were basically not full two days, but from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. Sunday night still had evening study as usual, so as long as homework wasn't too much, everyone generally saved it to solve then.

"Gaming with you guys affects my lifespan. I probably won't play this weekend." Lin Li waved his hand.

Although the main reason was that he was going to slay demons and eliminate evil, gaming with them was indeed torturous.

Early game boasting, mid-game gibberish, late game silence; mouth askew, cigarette lit, teammates' parents in danger; blame shifted, piano played, this round I'm truly annoyed; favorable wind chat about family matters, adverse wind chat about parents; occasionally adverse wind, frequently occasionally...

This was the current state of team gaming.

"So many people beg me to game with them and I don't agree, yet you don't cherish it."

"Like who?" Lin Li smiled and asked back.

"Ah, my grandma is giving birth to my dad, I'll go see if it's a boy or girl. Not chatting anymore, leaving." Hearing this question, Bai Bufan immediately ran away.

Lin Li chuckled, glanced at the system—the serious study task progress bar had gone nearly three-quarters, would have to wait until Monday to complete.

After simply packing his things, if it weren't for needing to take home the Eight-Stage Body Forging Technique photocopies, Lin Li usually didn't even carry a backpack home on weekends.

The reason for taking it home was because the photocopies were already covered with Lin Li's annotations and notes.

All sweat and tears.

Because he had to complete the task, he couldn't help but listen seriously in class. These were all achievements seized during breaks, lunch rest, English class, and other unimportant times.

Although due to insufficient knowledge reserves, plus inconvenience using his phone to search for information at school, he still hadn't completely translated everything, relying on his own translation and understanding, Lin Li found he remembered the content exceptionally clearly. Sometimes when he "guessed" the meaning correctly, he even had enlightening feelings.

Just like smoothly solving the final major math problem would bring genuine satisfaction.

Of course, the premise was that the solved answer looked like an answer.

If the solved answer was a super complex fraction with three or four square roots plus addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on both top and bottom, that wasn't satisfying but doom.

As the cultivation method said, this was a training martial method focused on strengthening the body, divided into eight chapters. Currently, having roughly translated the first two chapters, the second chapter seemed to also require spiritual energy assistance to nourish the body, but the first chapter was completely unnecessary.

After going back to confirm the uncertain translation points, he could practice this chapter tomorrow morning.

The excessive exercise this morning had already shown effects—Lin Li felt weakness and soreness in all his limbs.

It was exactly time to go to the health club for wellness.

Mom had already said she wouldn't come home this weekend, so Lin Li first ate dinner outside, then went home to change clothes.

—If he wore his high school uniform to the chicken farm, that would be too disrespectful to them. After all, wouldn't that clearly indicate he was underage?

Combing his hair into an adult style, wearing a complete street thug outfit, when he met the ladies later, it would definitely be more beautiful than imagined~~

While singing and watching several anti-prostitution videos, as well as learning about the rules and ways of these places, Lin Li headed to the battlefield with the determination to possibly suffer social death.

...

8 PM.

It was the weekend, and the shop's business seemed much better. When Lin Li entered, there was even a queue at the front desk.

"Hello, have you already bought a package on the platform? Then just scan the code." Soon it was Lin Li's turn. The front desk lady glanced at Lin Li, then lowered her head to continue typing on the computer while asking.

"Not yet." Lin Li was very calm, saying plainly: "The packages above don't satisfy me. I was introduced by a local friend who said your shop has more attractive packages than those on the platform. I'd like to see what they're like."

After the receptionist looked at Lin Li again, she called into the intercom. Soon a woman who looked to be in her twenties approaching thirty came over: "This way, young man."

Bypassing the second floor entirely, Lin Li followed her directly to the third floor. Although the lighting here was still bright without the purple ambient lighting Lin Li had imagined, most rooms were tightly closed.

It looked like they were really busy today—good business.

Led to a corner room whose door was still open, Lin Li walked in. The layout inside wasn't particularly special, just very conventional with two massage chairs and a large projector.

The massage chairs were the type that could be raised and flattened, barely usable as beds.

The woman closed the room door and handed over a tablet, asking: "What service would the customer like? Here's the menu and price list."

Lin Li didn't even take the tablet, because he knew very well that what he wanted would definitely be hidden and couldn't possibly appear on the tablet, so he directly asked: "What my friend recommended definitely isn't these things. Is there anything else?"

"Sorry, young man, we only have these services."

"My friend didn't say it in detail, but we both understand each other. Let's not beat around the bush so much. If there are only these services, I'm leaving." Lin Li deliberately showed some impatience.

Friends who frequently visit health services know that actually many such shops provide borderline services when extending time, but according to the system task description, this shop was definitely not just borderline.

Hearing this, the woman seemed to finally confirm something, smiled and put away the tablet, then introduced:

"Sorry young man, this is a necessary process. After all, none of us want this kind of thing to be discovered, right? Our shop also has four hidden packages: 399, 699, 1299, and 3699. Which one would you like?"

Here it comes, finally here!

"What are the contents of each?" Lin Li silently loosened his phone which had been in recording mode since entering the shop, letting it capture sound better.

"The 399 package, based on a one-hour massage, provides hand and mouth services..."

"699..."

Lin Li broadened his horizons.

The adult world was really fancy.

Also, although there were many varied and novel activities, 3699—was this wave embedded with gold?

Although Lin Li hadn't eaten pork, he had watched too many pigs run during these days of cramming.

Weren't those high-quality escorts just at this price level?

You had to know this was Xiling Town, where most people working themselves to death for half a month didn't earn this much—pre-tax.

3699 for one night, wouldn't that be over 100,000 a month, wouldn't that be a million a year?

Just endure this kind of miserable life for a while, and the future would never be miserable again!

Lin Li calculated these numbers, his heart at this moment developing a yearning to join the breeding farm as a duck.

If there could be a 175cm loyal and devoted 36D beautiful rich woman to support him, even if Lin Li had to drive luxury cars and live in villas, he'd be willing!

After practicing the Eight-Stage Body Forging Technique, his basic conditions among ducks should also be considered top...

Damn!

We cultivators almost lost our minds!
