The System is Abstract, Luckily, So Am I

"Right, speaking of which, you two officer comrades, you haven't told us what method our student Lin used to help you, and what case did he help you solve? How serious was it?"

Hearing this, Principal Wang immediately became more excited, rubbing his hands uncontrollably.

If the situation weren't inappropriate, he would even want to stomp his feet.

He would memorize every word of the following content! This was all important material! The more details the better—this way when announcing it widely, it would be more shocking!

Principal Wang was certain that what Lin Li helped solve was definitely not some unimportant case.

If it were just good deeds like returning lost money, police might indeed come to school to express thanks, but at most they'd send a commendation letter and be done. But today was completely different.

The two officers not only brought a commendation letter but also a banner. Besides that, if he wasn't mistaken, they also brought a bunch of various gifts and prizes. Sun Ying even said they needed to do a simple interview and photo session.

What level of behavior could receive this kind of treatment? Definitely a super major case!

Even if these two told him Lin Li helped them solve a nationally shocking murder case or helped them capture drug dealers, or even that Lin Li personally took weapons and had an exhilarating life-and-death battle with criminals, Principal Wang would believe it!

Thinking of this, Principal Wang's gaze toward Lin Li became even more admiring and tender.

What virtue and ability did Nansang Middle School have to produce such a genius youth?

"I'm quite curious too. Lin Li, what case did you help solve?" In this situation, Xue Jian couldn't remain calm either, asking with curiosity.

Lin Li clenched his left fist, covered his mouth, coughed lightly, and looked at Yang Liang.

Yang Liang clenched both fists, covered his mouth, coughed lightly, and looked at Sun Ying.

Sun Ying clenched her right fist, covered her mouth, coughed lightly, and looked back at Yang Liang.

"Sorry, sorry, not much ventilation. The office air isn't very good—the smoke smell hasn't dissipated." Principal Wang realized he'd been too excited and neglected hospitality, quickly opening windows to circulate air.

Really, how did he make such a basic mistake?

When he turned back, he saw both officers looking at Lin Li with gentle gazes. Yang Liang spoke:

"Let Lin Li tell this story himself."

Feeling everyone's gaze locked on him, with the two officers even encouraging him, Lin Li showed a kind smile.

Damn it.

You two are too embarrassed to say it, but I'm supposed to be comfortable saying it?

Don't you know how thin a seventeen-year-old's face is?

At Lin Li's age, he still felt slightly guilty after secretly using Bai Bufan's power bank to charge his own power bank!

But now it seemed inappropriate to pass this buck to others.

Useless things.

Looks like he had to step up himself.

"I assisted police in destroying a large-scale pornographic prostitution den." Having made up his mind, any further hesitation would just be clownish and cowardly behavior, which he absolutely wouldn't tolerate. Lin Li declared loudly and proudly, word by word.

Deafening!

Such presence!

Principal Wang, who had been listening intently with anticipation, immediately applauded in response:

"Pornographic prostitution is great! This is how our new era youth should be! I've already thought it through—there's no time today, but next Monday's flag-raising speech will be given by you, Lin Li, calling on all our teachers and students that we should all help police with pornographic prostitution!"

Lin Li, Yang Liang, and Sun Ying: "?"

This... wasn't quite right.

What Dragon King Returns, discovers wife and children sold to brothels, Dragon King in fury calls ten thousand soldiers to boost performance, helping her reach top courtesan in one fell swoop.

When Xue Jian also looked at Principal Wang with a strange gaze, the smile on Principal Wang's face suddenly stiffened.

Belatedly realizing, his squinting eyes slowly opened as he spoke to Lin Li with careful, tentative tone:

"Student Lin, what case did you just say you helped solve?"

"I destroyed a chicken farm."

"What role did you play in this? How did you help Officer Yang?" The principal's voice became even more cautious.

"I was one of Uncle Yang's performance metrics."

Principal Wang: "?"

Lin Li made an indelible contribution to improving Xiling Town's public security because he was arrested.

"Principal, are you okay?" Seeing Principal Wang sitting on the ground, Xue Jian quickly stepped forward to help.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Principal Wang stood up somewhat unsteadily, then slowly sat on the opposite sofa, looking at Lin Li: "Student Lin, you were arrested?"

"That's right." Lin Li nodded matter-of-factly.

"Principal Wang, Principal Wang?! Wake up! Wake up!"

"I'm fine, I was just suddenly a bit sleepy. I'm fine now." Principal Wang, who had almost fainted, waved his hand and pressed his palm against his forehead with some headache.

"Oh my, Lin Li, you shouldn't talk nonsense at a time like this. Let me explain." Yang Liang couldn't watch anymore.

This kid Lin Li really never liked playing by the rules.

"Principal Wang, the truth isn't what Lin Li said."

Like grabbing a lifeline, Principal Wang immediately perked up. That made sense—if Lin Li was really one of the arrested suspects, how could police possibly come to send commendation letters and banners! This child really liked joking!

What a humorous little rascal! So mischievous!

"Really," Principal Wang shook his head with a smile as if he couldn't handle Lin Li, "How could Student Lin possibly be arrested?"

Yang Liang wanted to speak but hesitated: "Arrested... he was indeed arrested."

Principal Wang: "?"

Damn, how was there another humorous big rascal?

"What are you two doing!" Sun Ying finally couldn't watch anymore. With a headache, she stood up and smiled at the desperate Principal Wang: "Here's what happened..."

...

As an 'outsider,' Sun Ying clearly explained the whole story and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The principal's office briefly fell into silence.

The expressions of Principal Wang and Xue Jian were more exciting than two beautiful women fighting in the street.

It had to be said that Sun Ying should be from the propaganda department, so her descriptive ability and foundation were impressive. If you only heard the last sentence, Lin Li would absolutely be the undisputed Light of Nansang.

"—If Student Lin hadn't gone alone deep into the tiger's den, obtained important clues and evidence, and negotiated and outsmarted the suspects, helping us lower their guard, we absolutely couldn't have destroyed this den so easily!"

Too cool, this sentence was too cool.

What a hero emerging young, both wise and brave, lacking neither courage nor talent.

If Principal Wang and Xue Jian could forget the background was a massage health spa, it would be fucking even cooler.

This background didn't need to be kidnapping or drug manufacturing—solving fake products or food production factories would be great. But why did it have to be in an anti-prostitution context?

Was this really going alone into the tiger's den?

Wasn't this really going to tender places behind brothers' backs?

"Knowing the truth, my tears flow."

The principal suddenly started singing love songs.

The sadness didn't seem fake.
