The man turned around and left, as if he had made up his mind and never looked back at him.
Leaving, as explained in the dictionary, is to part with a person or place, and in that mont, Lin Li understood what it ant to leave.
"Bro, I'm not sick!" Lin Li shouted.
But the man's footsteps quickened even more.
However, fortunately, he had just thrown away his cigarette butt.
Lin Li picked up the cigarette butt and pressed it on his arm; the burning sting caused his arm to pause slightly.
As expected, just like other attributes had progressed before, the "fire" indeed grew a bit from this burn, albeit very slightly.
Lin Li threw away the cigarette butt and extinguished it, then used [Healing] to start healing the burns on his arm.
[Healing] has been growing in effectiveness along with his strength, and it's no longer the insignificant ability it was, needing several attempts to heal even a bruise.
Rather than a useless ability from September, [Healing] is now a useless ability in November.
—— Now, bruises and such can be healed all at once.
The new burn marks quickly faded to the point where they were hardly noticeable, and with one more application, they could be restored to normal.
Lin Li thought this ability was quite fitting for grabbing a bottle of Molotov drink to change the pattern on his wrist with OD pills like a visual kei bomb boy.
Stereotypically, he heard that as long as you're not afraid of explosion-prone bomb girls and being haunted, you can freely roam this circle.
It's a very authoritative and worthy circle to join—emphasizing once again, it's just a stereotype.
Collecting his thoughts, Lin Li picked up the extinguished cigarette butt from the ground and threw it into the trash can.
Although the "fire" progress increased, it was about the sa as the "water" progress from cold showers, far slower than swimming or brick lifting.
In other words, he would have to burn himself with cigarette butts thousands of tis to complete "fire."
[Healing] couldn't keep up, and even with the fla resistance reward, completing the task this way wasn't realistic, so he needed to find other thods.
...
Ah, the Xiling people really lack manners.
Lin Li had just called the funeral ho again, politely asking if they really didn't take orders for burning the living, only to be cursed, implying he was so Korean.
Previously being called a big fool didn't bother him, but being called Korean really tested his patience.
He almost wanted to drop his pants and shake it through the phone to show them he wasn't short at all.
But the person at the funeral ho said, sorry sir, you misunderstood; I didn't an that you were short.
Then he explained to Lin Li that Ma Dongxi, the Stick Star, has now changed his nationality to Arican, so South Korea no longer has Ma Dongxi.
And when he called Lin Li Korean, he was just saying Lin Li was also without Ma Dongxi, nothing about being short.
Oh, it was indeed a misunderstanding.
Misunderstandings clear up once talked through; argunts at the graveside resolve at the graveside's end, and Lin Li reconciled with the funeral ho.
—— Although the funeral ho still refused to take an order to burn Lin Li.
Sighing, Lin Li made a note of this incident in his mo titled "Jokes to secretly rember at 4 AM in bed" to use on Bai Bufan tomorrow.
...
Driving school.
[Task Two: Comprehend the Mysteries of the Five Elents and Use the Power of the Five Elents to Temper Oneself (1/5)]
Through the few hours of using "Yun Lei Zi," "Wood" had been completed.
Lin Li's car was parked by the roadside, and he, sitting in the driver's seat, held a Spirit Stone with his left hand to absorb, while using his right hand to browse Taobao on his phone.
Ordered magic fire paper, furnace, igniter, hand warrs, wax drips, extinguisher all at once!
Swimming enhances water, and these enhance fire!
For the task, for Shanqing Daoist's warmth, he had no choice but to beco a fire fanatic!
Let the flas ignite.
Checking the ti, it was already close to 10 PM without noticing.
Just in ti for a new session to be completed, Lin Li drove his car back to the garage, waiting for the last facial recognition to complete.
Today's learning hours were about done here.
Xiren Driving School already offered night training, not so special tutoring by Yu Jian'an; there were quite a few people practicing driving at this ti, and not bothering others, after speaking with Coach Yu on the phone, Lin Li took a cab to the night market.
Arrived at Pinglu Street.
Pinglu is relatively remote in Xiling and has a Jade River nearby. Its proximity to the river with broad terrain is one reason it's consistently chosen as the market location.
In the night, countless lanterns extended from the central stone street to the riverside, growing upward along the winding river road, stretching endlessly, with vendors further from the street arriving later.
But true night markets only thrive away from street restrictions.
New-age LED light strings and vintage red lanterns wove a complex light path along the riverbank.
The stalls were diverse, including inflatable castles and carousels for kids, food, drink, entertainnt, everything was available.
There was also a stage being built, almost complete, presumably for performances tomorrow.
Although it was already 10 PM, which was considered 'late night' in the small town of Xiling, it was still brightly lit here, bustling with people strolling and snacking.
Lin Li wasn't there to stroll; if he finished today, what would he do with everyone tomorrow?
With his own goal in mind, Lin Li simply followed the path carved out by the stalls, moving forward.
Reaching the end.
