Chapter 1205 - 533: What We’re Glad For and What We Regret Might Be the Same Thing (2)
Maybe it’s because capital has rigged things up.
Heaven always likes to torture lovers, teary-eyed.
"Damn, why is my seat number 5? My life is probably going to be ruined—"
Zhang Haoyang let out a wail after seeing his seat number.
Chen Tianming suppressed his urge to go to Class 17 to see where Yao Qiaoqiao’s exam room was, and curiously asked:
"What’s wrong with having seat number 5? Isn’t it pretty good? It’s still at the back of the class, so if you want to cheat, it’s not impossible."
True students never shy away from talking about cheating.
However, most people in Class 4 are too lazy to cheat; they’ve long passed the stage of valuing rankings as their lifeline like they did in elementary and middle school.
Zhang Haoyang: "Because five makes you impotent."
Lin Li, Chen Tianming: "O.o?"
"Crap."
Lin Li, who hadn’t thought along these lines, was amused.
He thought Zhang Haoyang was going to say the number 5 was no good, turns out there’s new vocabulary to play with? Nice, recognized.
"Haoyang, are you picking on us."
And a certain anonymous examinee at exam room number 5, seat number 5, Bai Bufan, twitched at the mouth.
All I have is 5.
Feels like I’ve been set up by capital.
Wait.
Bai Bufan broke out in a cold sweat.
He discovered a scary fact—
Ever since the seating chart was posted, he hasn’t been able to get it up once, this is terrifying upon deep thought!!
No way, right?!
With furrowed brows, taking a deep breath, Bai Bufan anxiously hurried to the bathroom.
Meanwhile, in the classroom, after finishing explaining some matters related to the final exams and reminders, Xue Jian returned to the classroom door.
He didn’t continue walking outside and stopped next to Lin Li.
Then he raised his right hand to nose level, pointed his index finger at someone, and stared at them with unyielding seriousness.
But he didn’t say a word.
Lin Li: "..."
Lin Li doesn’t know if capital has rigged things up, but if anything, it should be that Jian is eager to rig things up for him.
Lin Li: "Dear Old Jian, at the moment I have no intention of messing around during the final exams."
The system currently isn’t reacting, hasn’t released any tasks related to the finals.
Really acting aloof, can’t be because Monday early morning I escaped back to reality and fiercely criticized the system’s pseudo-random mechanism.
"Don’t give me ’at the moment’! Be good during finals! Or you’ll get what’s coming to you!" Xue Jian exclaimed as he slapped Lin Li’s shoulder coldly.
Zhou Baowei perked up his ears.
How tasty is it O.o?
Speaking of which, last time Lin Li ate a self-heating hotpot in the exam room, later sent him one too.
Can Lin Li eat some king crab this time, plus a bowl of South African abalone, Hokkaido scallops, Jin Hua ham old chicken cooked Foei Dieu fish soup?
Zhou Baowei is willing to say thanks to Lin Li in advance.
"Got it! I’ll try my best!" Lin Li saluted.
"What do you mean try! I want assurance!"
"Understood! I promise I’ll try my best!"
"I want you to promise you’ll be good throughout the finals!!"
"Oh dear teacher, my baby tummy is rumbling and hurt—darn it, didn’t the doctor say due date is the end of the month? Teacher, I have to go to the bathroom to give birth first, bye!"
Xue Jian sighed deeply.
Zhou Baowei sniffed: Dinner or midnight snacks should’ve been chive pork buns.
...
The sound of the school bell marked the end of the last school day of the semester.
Only three exam days left!
After setting up the exam room with Chen Yu Ying, Lin Li left on his scooter, but instead of heading home, he directed toward the rented warehouse.
After charging the mecha for two hours, when time had passed midnight, he took out and changed into a set of private clothes from the "Fire Separation Sword Nourishing Gourd", Lin Li left the warehouse, setting off according to the destination sent on his phone earlier.
Naturally, there were other things to do tonight.
Not for the Spirit Beast, but because there would be "battery theft from the mecha".
Not long after, Lin Li reached the destination, and upon seeing the familiar person squatting not far away, he called out: "Stool."
"Brother Bufan, you’re here!" Stool immediately raised his head upon hearing and stood up, happily greeting Lin Li.
——Lin Li’s name left with Stool has always been Bai Bufan, although they’ve known each other for a long time and have carried out several commissions, in a way they truly trusted each other, but out of laziness, the real name had not been disclosed.
"Yeah yeah, so, did they make a move?"
Lin Li nodded, as a way to greet, and then asked.
"Actually, their car arrived very early, but just like Li Sheng said, they’ll act at midnight and haven’t started yet." Stool explained.
The day before, Stool had informed Lin Li of the latest progress from Li Sheng.
He’s been attempting to infiltrate and have his brothers infiltrate into a group, finally confirmed that a crew will begin their operation at Xiling.
It’s not about car theft or such big incidents; they merely steal e-bike batteries.
This open old residential area is the target for tonight.
No surveillance here, plus they’ve already studied the place for days and identified which e-bike owners don’t frequently use them, and which e-bikes have alarms that don’t easily go off as preliminary info, tonight is their operation time.
As for why Stool came this time, it’s purely out of curiosity.
The final exams at Stool’s school were earlier than at Nansang Middle School and already ended, so he’s in a state of idle vacation.
Since this time it wasn’t something involving desperadoes, felt it wasn’t very dangerous, plus curiosity about what Lin Li was up to, Stool asked yesterday if he could tag along, to which Lin Li casually agreed.
