Boiling Goat, You're So Annoying!

No, bro.

What did she mean by a monetary transaction happening, and what did she mean by being very satisfied with his service? Don't say things that make people misunderstand.

Wait.

Brain, you're not allowed to think about that anymore. As someone equivalent to 1.5 men, it was more important to think about serious matters.

Lin Li turned his attention to the reward, naturally ignoring those two useless parts and focusing instead on the chance for a random body part or organ enhancement.

Looking at the words in parentheses, Lin Li didn't know whether he should feel lucky.

Honestly, his first reaction upon seeing this reward had been to worry that this ridiculous system would call it random, then randomly give him that part again.

But now, the system had directly predicted his prediction.

It could be removed from the prize pool.

But...

Then again.

Lin Li felt a little embarrassed now—after thinking it over, he realized he didn't really want to remove it from the random pool. Maybe he could... leave it there for later? Hehe.

But it was too early to think about the reward. There was no specific standard for completing this mission, and the system had given him a progress bar like the time-accumulation missions. It was currently at zero.

"Lin Li, your money? Why are you spacing out again?" Seeing Lin Li's unfocused gaze, Chen Yuying stood up and waved the bill in front of him.

Lin Li came back to his senses. His right hand silently pressed the bill back into his pocket, and he shook his head. "Class Monitor, I don't have any change."

Ding Sihan, Chen Yuying's deskmate, blinked. She was even closer to Lin Li than Chen Yuying was, so she asked, "What was that bill that looked like five yuan that you just took out of your pocket?"

Lin Li: "..."

Why are your eyes so sharp?

Lin Li cursed Ding Sihan twice in his heart, calling her a little dog.

"It's fake money." Fortunately, he was already thick-skinned enough to say it without changing expression.

Ding Sihan: "?"

"Is it that Sima Marley's sniper god, Gabi?" Wang Ze, who was eating the breakfast Lin Li had brought, turned around and joined in.

Generally speaking, the students in the front rows were the obedient, honest, or... simply short ones. Wang Ze wasn't short, so he shouldn't have been sitting in that area.

But there were two exceptions: the seats directly beside the teacher's desk on either side, known as the class's Left and Right Protector seats. Wang Ze was the Right Protector.

Lin Li ignored him and continued looking at Chen Yuying. His original intention had been to find an excuse to keep bringing breakfast tomorrow, since that was their most frequent kind of interaction.

But after thinking for a while, and now that he had been exposed, Lin Li felt he had a better idea for completing the mission.

So Lin Li pushed Chen Yuying's money back and said naturally, "Class Monitor, I'll be direct. What I mean is that I don't want to take your money. I've been trying to study seriously lately, but there's still a lot of knowledge I only half understand, especially geography, so I need someone to tutor me.

"The Class Monitor is pretty good at everything, so I wanted to ask whether you could tutor me a little. Breakfast money would be my tutoring fee!"

Everyone in the class could tell that Lin Li had indeed been more serious lately. The boys in the back rows had seen it for themselves and had already tried several exorcism operations on Lin Li, all of which ended in failure. As for the students in the front rows, they could sense it from Lin Li answering questions in class and the occasional praise from teachers.

Except for English class.

Kou Kou calling on Lin Li every class had already become a regular feature.

Getting more information about this world from Chen Yuying.

Wasn't geography the perfect subject for that?

Actually, Lin Li also wanted to mention history, but saying he needed someone to tutor him in history felt a little forced.

With the current curriculum, all one needed to do was memorize things.

If the geography system didn't respond later, he could adjust based on that feedback.

In any case, getting her on board first was the best move.

Chen Yuying blinked at that. The hand holding the money lowered a few centimeters, and she said softly, "Tutoring is fine. Just ask me if you have any questions, but how can I charge money for something like that? It's okay, you should still take the money."

"Calling it a tutoring fee was poor wording on my part. It should be breakfast as thanks for your help.

"Class Monitor, I have a lot of questions. Some of them might even sound ridiculous to people with good grades like you, and I'll take up a lot of your time, so treating you to breakfast is perfectly normal. Is that okay now?"

"Alright, then." Chen Yuying smiled and nodded, then suggested, "Anyway, Lin Li, you can only stay in the classroom at noon, and I usually come to the classroom at noon too. If there's anything you don't understand, why don't you ask me this afternoon?"

"That's exactly what I wanted to say." Lin Li nodded emphatically.

"Lin Li, let me tutor you. My grades are about the same as Chen Yuying's, and I'm in the classroom every noon too." The warmhearted Wang Yuezhi gritted his teeth inwardly as he stood up, smiling as he extended a helping hand to Lin Li.

How could Wang Yuezhi tolerate this happening!

If he intervened now, not only could he ruin Lin Li's disgusting plan, but he could also improve his own image as a helpful classmate. Why wouldn't he?

Faced with Wang Yuezhi's kind smile, Lin Li returned an equally kind smile.

"Who the fuck are you?"

Wang Yuezhi: "?"

Quiet snickers rose from the people around them. Only Wang Ze didn't join in.

Because he was laughing insanely loudly.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA, THAT WAS FUCKING AMAZING! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The whole hallway could probably hear him. Lin Li suspected he had even sprayed out his breakfast. Luckily, he didn't have anyone sitting in front of him.

People's joys and sorrows were not connected.

As the person involved, Wang Yuezhi's face turned into Uzi within three seconds.

"You're using profanity! You have no manners!" he said, pointing at Lin Li in embarrassment and anger.

"Can't help it. Wang Ze ate all my manners." Bai Bufan was sitting too far away, so the responsibility that should have belonged to a dog could only be borne by Wang Ze now.

Wang Ze, who was slapping his thigh as he laughed, took the time to raise a middle finger.

Swearing in front of girls really was an action that greatly lowered one's favorability, but first, Lin Li hadn't said it to Chen Yuying. Second, his goal regarding Chen Yuying wasn't romance. As long as she didn't change her mind about tutoring him, it was fine.

Of course, it would be even better if she didn't dislike him. And from their conversation yesterday afternoon, Lin Li believed Chen Yuying wasn't the kind of girl who would hate someone over this.

Finally, Lin Li truly had no manners. Wang Yuezhi was absolutely right about that.

Lin Li tilted his head slightly and saw that Chen Yuying was holding back laughter too, struggling quite hard. He felt a little relieved.

"Men and women shouldn't touch hands when giving or receiving things. What you're doing could easily trouble the Class Monitor. I'm a boy, so wouldn't it be better if I tutored you?" Wang Yuezhi said loudly.

"Did you wrap up your brain? Are your thoughts still stuck in feudal society? Being alone together means innocence is gone? No, bro, I'm asking the Class Monitor to tutor my studies, not asking her out on a date! Men and women working together makes the work less tiring!" Lin Li said with a roll of his eyes.

"You have designs on the Class Monitor!" Wang Yuezhi continued to argue irrationally.

"At this point, I don't want to hide it from everyone anymore. I'm actually GAY. The classmates who know me well already know this. Wang Ze, say something!" Lin Li smiled and looked at Wang Ze.

"That's right, Lin Li really is GAY." Wang Ze nodded heavily.

"Totally! He really is! I went to his house to hang out last week, and I somehow lost consciousness. When I woke up, Lin Li had a delighted look on his face, but my ass has hurt all the way until today." Bai Bufan's head poked sneakily through the front door, and he raised a thumbs-up in agreement.

—Ever since Wang Ze had started laughing up front, he had silently run over to the doorway to watch the show. Now that his good bro needed someone to play straight man, when else was he supposed to make his entrance? "Did you hear that, Wang Yuezhi? If you tutored me, then I'd be the one having improper thoughts, with my head full of you. Student Wang Yuezhi, you wouldn't want your ass to hurt like Bai Bufan's, would you?" Lin Li said with narrowed eyes and a smile.

Lin Li's voice was quite loud. This time, nearly everyone in the class was laughing.

Why nearly?

Because Wang Yuezhi wasn't laughing.

What a poor sport.

Pleasant Goats, give me monthly votes. I'll push your asses even harder from now on.
