"It's my thinking that's at fault, I'm sorry..." But this statent was too dazzling, and the staff didn't dare to look Lin Li in the eye or refute him, bowing their head in guilt, "...Give the money, I've registered everything."
"That's more like it~" Lin Li was relieved.
...
A few minutes later, when they saw Lin Li appear again not far away, the staff looked as if their soul had died, first let out a sigh, then forced themselves to smile, and asked as Lin Li approached:
"Kid, what did you pick up this ti?"
Lin Li seed to be taken aback for a mont, then spread his hands: "I picked up two cigarette butts and a plastic bottle, sir, do you want them?"
Staff: "(;☉_☉)?"
Hey! Wait!
"Kid! This is a lost and found, not a garbage recycling center! Giving us this is disrupting our work! Let's see what more you can argue! I can't take it anymore!"
The staff suddenly got excited, stood up and slamd the table, shouting at Lin Li.
I always had my doubts but never found the opportunity!
Now I've finally found evidence, it's my turn to stand on the moral high ground and attack this kid!
"Huh? Of course, I know, I definitely wasn't planning to give it to you, I'm finding a trash can to throw it away—look, this trash can." Lin Li looked more confused, innocent in his words.
And his brow gradually furrowed, as his gaze at the staff grew more curious, filled with bewildernt and even concern.
Staff: "...☉_☉."
"Haha, haha, haha, so, that's how it is." Other than awkward laughter, the staff didn't know what to do for a mont.
The smile gradually turned despairing.
Damn, how embarrassing.
"I'll go to the bathroom."
With a loud boom, the lost and found window was closed, and the curtains were drawn.
Lin Li shrugged in surprise, threw the cigarette butts into the trash can, dusted off his hands, and caught a cab back ho.
He never ant to play the staff; it wasn't intentional just now, either.
Just that, in this world, there's no way so many people lose things simultaneously.
Plus, these days, only very small children and very old seniors use cash; as for precious things like phones—many kids lose their phones but not these.
Plus, if anyone spots the valuables on the ground before , regardless of their intent, whether noble or selfish, it won't intersect with .
The second chance to pick up a phone, wallet, and clothes was indeed a slim probability.
Later, Lin Li indeed could only find and turn in those small coins and small denomination notes.
As for another round of searching he just completed, he found absolutely nothing, but as the saying goes, burglars never leave empty-handed, so Lin Li did indeed pick up two cigarette butts, counted as protecting the environnt.
These efforts certainly yielded results.
On the car ride, Lin Li started to review the achievents just now.
Turning in lost money ets the task's requirent for "gold," and doesn't solely an tangible money; resisting the temptation to take these valuable items counts as refining.
Now the progress bar has moved one-sixth; turning in clothing and phones still granted progress, and most progress was gained at this step.
The higher the value, the faster the progress grows.
As for the four and a half coins, they were barely better than nothing.
In other words, if soone carelessly dropped a billion in cash in front of Lin Li, as long as Lin Li returned it, "Gold" could probably be completed instantly.
But this chance isn't easy to co by.
Lin Li looked at the task.
The training related to the gold elent did not progress well, but the abstract gold moved quickly?
Possibly unsatisfactory in orthodox thods, because from a cultivator's perspective, these elental powers appear too childish for cultivation?
If that's the case, by this logic, would there be abstract yet faster ways to complete this task for the other four elents?
"Wood" was already completed, leaving "Water," "Fire," "Earth."
Then suddenly took out his phone, opened up "Naruto."
"I want to recharge forty million into Naruto!"
"Watashi! This is my will of fire!"
The task ignored him.
Lin Li played two rounds in the arena, rubbing his opponents' heads, yet still it had no effect.
Lin Li then watched so borderline influencers.
However, facing these burning temptations, Lin Li managed not to be swayed by steadfast Dao-heart, but "Fire" from the system still remained just like a wife with a husband genetically infertile—it showed no sign of moving.
Forget it, consciously trying to grow flowers doesn't work, unconsciously planting willow grows willows pregnant.
These things seem to be not sothing quickly tested out.
Having gone back and forth as a tracking hound in Pinglu quite a few tis now, evening was approaching midnight, feeling sleepy, Lin Li went ho and slept forthwith.
...
The next day, Saturday.
Lin Li was ho practicing the Spiritual Qi chapter of Body Refining Eighth Rank Technique.
When the last chapter and last section finished flowing through his body, Lin Li suddenly felt enlightened, a sensation of understanding flowed through him.
[Task one completed.]
[You have received rewards: Title: Fruit of Persistence; Physical Improvent: Qi Blood increased by 100%, physical strength increased by 100%; dium-grade Spirit Stone*5; System Currency*200.]
[Fruit of Persistence: When worn, as long as you focus on a task, your efficiency in this task will slowly increase. The longer you accumulate focused ti on this task, the greater the boost, with no upper limit. When the title is removed, accumulated ti is not reset.]
Lin Li smiled as he digested the temporary discomfort brought by the Qi Blood increase.
