Lin Li completed a system mission, received a Health Strengthening Pill, and learned that two Joyous Union hideouts had already counted toward his next objective.

After shocking Bai Bufan repeatedly at school, Lin Li discovered that the mission counted Bai Bufan knowingly challenging his thunder technique, raising its progress to 1/10.

• Lin Li absorbed electricity from a piezoelectric igniter and released a weak spark at a scrap of paper, forming his Lightning Body and triggering a mission to spar with cultivators and slay demons or monsters.

• Lin Li secretly discharged electricity through Bai Bufan’s desk, shocking him repeatedly while Bai Bufan suspected a power leak and tested the desk himself.
• The sparring mission advanced to 1/10 after Bai Bufan knowingly touched the electrified desk again, leading Lin Li to conclude that deliberately enduring his thunder technique counted as a martial contest.

Lin Li used the school’s iron railings to complete a task by secretly shocking students passing through the building. Back in class, he let Chen Yuying try the igniter, then shocked Wang Yuezhi far more strongly, leaving the three of them together.

• Lin Li realized he could complete his sparring task by sending a mild current through the stair railings, and Wang Ze’s willingness to touch the igniter gave him the idea.
• Lin Li went to the 6.5th-floor landing during exercises and discharged electricity through the railings, raising his task count to 96 before he ran low on power.

• Lin Li discovered he could not register as a Meituan rider because he was seventeen, and his attempts to count review moderation as Escort Agency tasks left the task progress at zero.
• Lin Li materialized the Thunder Accumulation Seed, found its current too strong to handle, and stored it again until he could control it safely.
• After changing his title to Thunder Guide, Lin Li tested its short-range perception of powered devices and found that his attraction could bend sparks toward him.

• The system triggered Task Five, instructing Lin Li to observe Chen Yuying piloting a mecha and imitate her operations.

Lin Li tried to advance a system mission by arranging for Chen Yuying to sit beside him on the coach. Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei moved away resentfully, while Wang Yuezhi watched his own plans collapse; Xue Jian did not object.

• Lin Li ordered Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei out of their seats so Chen Yuying and Ding Sihan could sit beside him and help him observe her for the system mission.

• Lin Li watched the show beside Chen Yuying, occasionally chatting with her, while Ding Sihan moved aside to watch makeup tutorials.

On the bus, Lin Li finished watching a variety show before asking Chen Yuying if he could try doing his own makeup. As the girls began practicing makeup and joked about Chen Yuying’s wealth, she again remembered to call Lin Li a “good pervert.”
