According to Unofficial Histories

"Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!"

Lin Li used an Android Phone, but that didn't stop him from setting Apple Pacemaker as his alarm ringtone.

Honestly, it was the kind of sound that could give you a heart attack the moment you heard it.

A day's plan began in the morning! The rising sun could shatter the darkness! None who ascended to the supreme Great Dao lacked a steadfast heart and firm path. The journey to becoming the strongest should begin in the morning!

Mission triggered!

Mission One: Get up before Mao Hour and begin seriously training your body. Before Chen Hour, train for a total of at least half a shichen.

Reward: Cultivation Technique: Body Tempering Eight Section Exercise.

It hadn't triggered when Lin Li woke up; he had only seen it after waking.

He had complained yesterday that it hadn't given him a cultivation technique first. Apparently, the system had activated at an awkward time. If it had activated in the morning, this mission should have appeared first.

Mao Hour was from five to seven in the morning. In other words, the system wanted him up before five and exercising for at least an hour before seven.

It didn't seem too difficult, but he could only complete it tomorrow.

After getting up and washing up, he rode his bike to school.

Sometimes, he really had to admit that the teachers were right when they said they could hear their class from the stairwell.

Bai Bufan's voice was pretty recognizable. He seemed to be telling a story now. "According to unofficial histories, Zhao Zilong once slaughtered ChangBan Slope until she was utterly defeated. But ChangBan Slope wasn't someone to be trifled with either—she was the top courtesan of Yihong Courtyard!

"At that very moment, ChangBan Slope unleashed a move. Zhao Zilong lost his defenses at once and had no way to continue..."

"Your unofficial history is way too wild."

"Only the history part is left!"

"Is that one too wild? Then let's switch. According to unofficial histories, Lu Fengxian was never some servant to three fathers—it was all a misconception. He was actually sexually involved with three families..."

"This one's even more hardcore."

"Kids, chow time!" When Lin Li appeared at the back door, it was like a zookeeper entering the zoo at feeding time. A crowd instantly howled and rushed over, surrounding Lin Li and taking their breakfasts.

Lin Li didn't charge any extra delivery fee. They were all classmates, and they would usually treat him to something in return, which he didn't mind.

However, Lin Li had also told them that if he woke up late, he wouldn't risk being tardy just to buy everyone's breakfast. Of course, those classmates who didn't get breakfast wouldn't have to go hungry all morning. They could use the break to buy a packet of toast from the school store.

No one complained about something so trivial either—Lin Li couldn't be bothered to be friends with people who would complain about that, much less bring them breakfast.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan both returned to their seats.

Watching Bai Bufan start eating, Lin Li thought about his second mission and asked sincerely, "Bufan."

"Yeah?"

"Have you ever hired a prostitute?"

The rice noodle roll Bai Bufan had just put into his mouth nearly sprayed out through his nose. After taking a sip of water to recover, he stared at Lin Li in shock. "Huh?"

"Do you know the procedure?" Thinking Bai Bufan hadn't heard clearly, Lin Li repeated himself.

"I'm... very interested. Go into detail." Bai Bufan appeared not to have answered the question. He sat upright, listening more attentively than he ever did in class.

Ordinary people didn't ask questions like that for no reason. Bai Bufan lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Zilong, are you planning to find yourself a ChangBan Slope too?"

"You left in such a hurry yesterday. Don't tell me..." Bai Bufan gradually pieced everything together, then questioned him in betrayed confusion. "Have you already betrayed our Virginity Association? No—"

Lin Li: "..."

"What are you even talking about? I just wanted to ask whether you knew anything about it."

"How would I know? What's the difference between us? We're both just people who've spent a long time in a Taoist temple.

"Besides, even though I'm interested, if you actually told me to do something like that, I wouldn't dare. I don't even dare imagine how awkward the rest of my life would be if I got caught." Bai Bufan shook his head.

Lin Li nodded in deep agreement.

He hadn't gotten any information, but it was understandable.

This was, after all, a key county-level high school. Asking around about something like this here really was asking too much.

It might be more effective to ask some yellow-haired punk on the street, but that would make it easy to get beaten up.

He should investigate the area over the next few days, then take action properly over the weekend.

At that moment, Bai Bufan gave Lin Li a suspicious once-over. "You're really not going?"

"I am irreconcilably opposed to gambling and drugs. How could I possibly do something like that?" Lin Li scoffed.

"I don't entirely believe you, but Lin Li, if you really do that, you'd better be careful. Anti-prostitution crackdowns have been severe in recent years. I'm actually part of the Anti-Prostitution Squad myself, so I know the ropes." Bai Bufan patted Lin Li on the shoulder and warned him earnestly.

"You've already been swept up in a crackdown?"

"I'm fucking part of the Anti-Prostitution Squad!"

"Heh." Lin Li sneered.

"You don't believe me? You should know that I once took down multiple pornographic Group Chats in a single day!" Bai Bufan puffed up angrily.

"And you have the nerve to call me a traitor!? People like you, who report others during sage mode, are the real traitors to humanity's organizations!" Lin Li was furious.

Someone like Bai Bufan didn't deserve to be his brother.

"I didn't take them down by reporting them. I hate snitches most of all—how could I do something like that?" Bai Bufan's eyes turned a little melancholy.

"Huh? Then how did you do it?"

"Disbanded them."

Lin Li: "..."

"So you were the fucking group owner? You disbanded them because you were afraid of getting caught in a crackdown?"

That logic actually made perfect sense.

Wasn't that completely taking down the Group Chat?

Bai Bufan ate his rice noodle roll sorrowfully. Without answering, he had answered.

"You, my friend, are the true hero," Lin Li said solemnly.

Lin Li had to be lifelong best friends with someone like Bai Bufan.

"Wait, you never added me to any of those groups!"

Take back that best-friends statement. Bai Bufan was still a pure beast.

"That was a story from middle school. Ten years ago, I didn't know you, and you didn't belong to me~"

"Haha, as expected of my brother. A hero rises in his youth!"

"Hand in your Chinese test papers." As morning reading approached, the class was more or less complete. The Chinese class representative stood and spoke to all the group leaders.

"Guang Zhi, save me!" After freezing for a moment, Lin Li suddenly shouted.

Ever since last night, his mind had been full of the Little Demon Sky Blood Crow. Who could remember this thing!

And it was Chinese homework—the hardest to copy, with the most characters!

Cursive script, activate! Zhang Xu, Huang Tingjian, Wang Xizhi—before the extremely enraged Lin Li, he was the true king of cursive script.

Do you even know cursive before you write in cursive? I'm fucking copying, copying, copying, copying, copying!

Luckily, this test paper didn't require an essay, or Lin Li would have had to pull out that story about his mother carrying him to the hospital through the rain again.

Fortunately, it only had to be collected before Chinese class. Seeing Lin Li scribbling furiously, the group leader didn't make things difficult for him.

"Ring ring ring!" The class bell rang.

"Turn to Admonitions to Emperor Taizong on the Ten Considerations. Morning reading begins." The Chinese class representative was already standing at the podium.

"I have heard: Those who seek the growth of trees must strengthen their roots; those who desire waters to flow far..."

"What are we singing today?" Bai Bufan took out his textbook, looked at Lin Li, and asked.

"Whatever."

"Then 'Silence.'"

"Sure."

"Only the piano remains to accompany me through the day~" Bai Bufan held the second required Chinese textbook upright before him and sang with feeling.

"The sleeping cello, silent and old, old~" Without stopping his hand or raising his head, Lin Li immediately joined in.

"I think you've made it very clear~"

"..."

The two sang a heartfelt duet.

Because they both knew very well.

If you don't work hard during morning reading, you'll only grieve at karaoke.
