Wu Min: "?"
Can you change faces this quickly?
Lin Li was so good at changing faces that Wu Min thought he would make a great plastic surgeon.
Maybe I should ask him later. If Lin Li is interested in this field, I might as well send him to South Korea for further studies after high school graduation.
Besides, Wu Min has so connections in South Korea; she knows Zhang Liang and Han Feizi, so she could introduce them to him at that ti.
Yes, this South Korea has already been destroyed.
Yes, Wu Min's intent on sending Lin Li abroad is to let him be destroyed too.
"Speak like a human, Lin Li, do you actually want to go or not?" Wu Min put down her phone for a final confirmation.
"I'll go," Lin Li nodded, taking a deep breath to prepare his thoughts, then began:
"But, since I've never been a teacher, I don't know if I'll be good at it. Not teaching well isn't much of a problem—I'm more worried about what Mom said, like teaching too well, giving him all I've got, and creating a second Lin Li. Would Aunt Zhenzhen then have no hope for the rest of her life?"
"Plus, I don't know if I have any passion for this kind of thing, or if I'm just briefly interested. Considering the child's personality and whether they can accept it..."
"Given these factors, my thought is to try a lesson first."
"I can go to her house to try being a tutor without charging, then it can be a mutual choice."
"If it works out, and there's the opportunity, I can continue being a tutor and wouldn't mind charging for it, but if it doesn't, if I teach poorly or don't enjoy it, I won't continue."
Saying this in advance gives you an account, Mom, and I feel comfortable too."
While there are tasks driving it, Lin Li simply couldn't rashly agree to be a tutor.
After all, even if it's just once a week, it takes up quite a lot of his already limited ti. And given Lin Li isn't short of money himself, continuing to be a tutor once the task is done seems aningless.
However, not knowing whether there will be further tutoring tasks from the system, Lin Li also can't definitively say he will teach just once.
So, the rhetoric just then fits perfectly. If there are no tasks, then he can straightforwardly say he doesn't like being a tutor, shrugging it off. But if there are further tasks, then he can consider delaying appropriately.
"What you said makes sense; I'll relay it to her according to your words." Wu Min raised her eyebrows after listening, acknowledging Lin Li's point, then picked up the phone again to make contact.
"Alright, but Mom, who exactly am I supposed to teach, and what is their academic level?" Lin Li finally showed interest in the 'job' content and quality:
"As of now, my quotas for master's students and doctoral students are filled, temporarily not accepting new resu submissions. If Aunt Zhenzhen needs sothing, I suggest she applies to other ntors."
Saying what her son said like passing gas, and that's , Wu ili, skr~
Wu Min sent the ssage on her phone first, then looked at Lin Li:
"Her family has two children; one is a middle schooler, just started seventh grade. Probably not accustod yet, but their grades dropped quite drastically compared to primary school, so she's a bit anxious—this is who you're mainly tutoring.
There's also a child in the first grade, you don't need to worry too much about that one; just make sure he finishes his howork and lets him watch TV in the living room."
"Alright, no problem," Lin Li nodded, considering anyone below high school to be insignificant, "when does the trial lesson start, tomorrow? I'm free both morning and afternoon."
Wu Min took a while to look at the ssages received on her phone, then shook her head: "Probably not this week. I've already passed Aunt Zhenzhen's WeChat to you; you guys can discuss it yourselves. No rush, even winter break is fine..."
"Alright."
With no other matters, Lin Li returned to his room.
Then he chatted briefly with Wu Huizhen; winter break seed too long away. Lin Li briskly arranged for next week.
Although the specific ti hasn't been set, Lin Li plans for Friday night; if there's a new plan by then, he can adjust according to the situation, balancing both sides' ti without hurry.
The remaining ti quickly passed amid chatting and group banter along with cultivation.
At midnight, December first ca.
[Update completed.]
The beginning of the month's system update arrived as expected, and Lin Li looked at the system's interface, still without a title.
Following last month's update start, the interface has five buttons, "Return", "Terminate", "Current Reset Price: 200 System Currency", with these three being already usable, in addition to two buttons appearing without text and dimd, unable to be pressed last month.
Now, after a month's ti, these two buttons have lit up but still have no text.
Lin Li took a glance and didn't care about it further.
Curiosity killed Schrödinger's cat; even if these buttons can be pressed, without text, he wouldn't risk attempting unless faced with so life-and-death crisis that might turn a hopeless situation around.
As a new opportunity refreshed, Lin Li tidied his room slightly and put on a protective suit, creeping towards the bathroom ready to depart.
Theoretically, the most suitable departure ti is when Wu Min isn't ho, thus avoiding cautiousness and preparing more thoroughly.
But Wu Min took leave and won't be back to work until Tuesday, while an opportunity refreshes again on Monday—not using it seems wasteful.
Using it this ti just to simply assess the situation is enough.
A flash of white light.
An endless darkness instantly engulfed Lin Li.
