"No next ti." Yangliang smiled, shook his head, and drove off in the police car.
[Task three has been completed.]
[You have received the reward: Physical Improvent: Sword Dao talent increased by 50%; Basic Sword Technique*1.]
The police car drove away, and the task was only then completed.
It seems that punishnt must co from the officials, as private punishnt is not recognized.
This task took less than ten minutes in total to complete.
But then again, the reward is not particularly good, so it’s reasonable that it was easy to complete.
The Sword Technique is finally in hand, and Lin Li hopes the "Invisible Sword" can play a bigger role.
[The subjugation of the villain, with the surrounding crowd applauding and the Demon Suppression Bureau enlightened, your benevolent deeds are clearly not limited to eradicating the Hehuan Demon’s foundation.
Having gained the people’s anticipation and the Demon Suppression Bureau’s expectations, you should strive for continuous improvent.]
[Tid task triggered!]
[Task three: Keep up the good work, within two months, within Nansang City, stop and punish at least eight attempts by evil cultivators to commit cris.]
[Task reward: Title: Light of Nansang; Physical Improvent: Martial Dao talent increased by 100%, Random Ability*1; System Currency*200.]
[Light of Nansang: Upon obtaining it, [Light of Xiling] will be replaced, and wearing it will make you exude the light of the righteous path, increasing the speed of righteous path cultivation technique practice by 100%, and resistance to evil path techniques by 100%, making wicked spirits and demons particularly fearful of you.
When within Nansang, the title effect is increased by 25%, and when within Xiling, a further 25% is added.]
The system popped up the second task at this ti.
The rewards are appealing, especially since Martial Dao talent is crucial for my progress in completing task one.
As for the task content, it ans repeating actions like what I just did eight more tis, capturing eight more?
It looks like I can catch three just nearby.
"Bufan." Lin Li then looked at Bai Bufan.
"What’s up?"
"Aren’t you looking to make money? I’ve got a business opportunity, doesn’t even require you to be sixteen."
"Let’s hear it first."
"Look across the street," Lin Li pointed to the public notice board opposite "Keep Xiling Clean and Tidy," and explained, "It says that reporting soone spitting in public can earn you thirty yuan if verified. You spit, I report you, and we’ll split the thirty–fifteen for you and fifteen for , how about that?"
Bai Bufan considered this carefully, nodded seriously, and asked, "Sounds logical, but what about the fifty yuan fine?"
"Ignore those irrelevant details, they don’t matter. Let’s focus on making money first."
"That sounds pretty important!"
Bai Bufan laughed and flipped the middle finger, articulately cursing, "Idiot! Not doing it."
Lin Li nodded, if the idiot won’t do it, then there’s nothing to be done.
"Looks like I’ll have to give you a new money-making idea."
"What’s another dumb idea you’re thinking of?"
"When you go ho next week, imdiately lock the door, so you beco a shut-in, and start painting to earn money. Abstract art is what you’re already best at."
After all, Picasso is one of the rare artists whose work was valuable while still alive, so Bai Bufan could earn money this way without having to die first.
Bai Bufan: "...your mom."
Lin Li didn’t respond, but again looked at the notice board opposite, realizing that fulfilling the task this way wasn’t practical either.
Spitting in restricted areas is illegal, but calling it ’committing cris’ is a stretch.
Such minor violations are unlikely to be recognized by the system.
Otherwise, in the past two months, people around him have thrown trash recklessly, yet never triggered a task.
So, the minimum requirent for this task should be theft or at least a serious violation that constitutes a cri?
"Your pant cuffs are dirty, Lin Li, dust them off." Chen Yu Ying’s advice pulled Lin Li back from his thoughts.
"Ok," after dusting off, Lin Li straightened up and called to the group, "Let’s go back and continue eating."
The five returned to the restaurant.
Originally, they were already at the end of their al, so even though it got a little cold, it didn’t affect eating.
"Lin Li, how did you notice, you ntioned it, but I didn’t even see that pickpocket." Ding Sihan curiously asked.
Hearing this, Lin Li took out his phone and raised it toward Ding Sihan, "Sent it to you."
"What?" Ding Sihan took out her phone with a puzzled expression.
[Lin Li: "Corneal Donation Application Form"]
Ding Sihan: "..."
"Bai Bufan, move aside a bit." Ding Sihan lifted her cup, raised her head with a cold face, and said.
Bai Bufan really wanted to move aside, but he wasn’t as strong as Lin Li, who had already shielded him in front.
"I have sharp swords and sharp eyes, naturally capable of noticing these small details you all overlook in life." Lin Li casually made up an excuse.
"Tch—"
The girls grouped and went to the restroom, leaving Lin Li and Bai Bufan to clear the last of the leftovers, occasionally staring out the floor-to-ceiling windows, trying to find a task target.
But to no avail.
Perhaps that’s normal, given how safe it is these days, encountering a pickpocket like earlier is indeed rare.
"What are you looking for again?" Bai Bufan asked.
"The thrill of punishing evil and upholding good is addictive, I want to catch a few more criminals." Lin Li confessed honestly.
"Catching them, that’s easy." Bai Bufan said with a carefree expression.
"Oh, you got leads?"
Bai Bufan nodded and pointed out an obvious way to Lin Li: "Go and catch them in prison, there are plenty of criminals there, guaranteed catch every ti."
"..."
Lin Li smiled at Bai Bufan, pointing and wagging his finger at him, finally shaking his head with regret, "The prison is too tightly secured, I can’t get in."
"You’re an idiot, you just need to find a legal loophole, and you’ll get in easily."
Bai Bufan naturally added, even suggesting more than one approach:
"Of course, if you don’t want to find a loophole, you can use connections, I know people in prison as well."
"Which relative got in?" Lin Li saw right through it.
Bai Bufan’s eyes suddenly turned lancholic and deep, with a tinge of sorrow:
"No, it’s a friend of mine nad Feifei who got in, still don’t know if she’s out yet."
"You rascal, you still can’t forget about her."
"Tch, as if you can forget about Xiaojing." Bai Bufan scorned.
Lin Li smiled slightly.
Xiaojing? Who’s she?
Sorry, long ceased to matter.
"Reminiscing is like carving a sword on the long river of ti." Lin Li patted Bai Bufan’s shoulder, "Forget about her, Bufan."
"When soone has vanished, to then see the traces they left in this world, how can one not be saddened, how can one forget, Lin Li, I finally understand Lu Mingfei seeing the flower ticket.
If back then, I had washed Feifei’s feet for a hundred thousand and three hundred and twenty tis, would my ending with her have been different?"
"...that would be really slly."
