The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 392 The best age to commit a crime was firstly ten years ago, and secondly now.

Although Xue Jian didn't know what kind of demon Lin Li possessed.

But thank you in advance.

Even if you lose to Lin Li in the battle for control of your body in the future, Xue Jian is willing to remember the beauty it brought at this moment.

Risby.

"Lin Li, why are you looking at me like that?"

As Xue Jian was reflecting on his thoughts, he suddenly noticed that Lin Li had stopped looking at Yan Aosong's phone and the principal had started staring at him. Feeling uneasy about being watched, Xue Jian asked him a question with a guilty conscience.

Lin Li blinked.

This sudden assignment really caught him off guard.

However, after realizing what was happening and understanding the mission details, Lin Li had a clear idea of ​​what was going on.

The reward is so basic, and it's related to demons, so there's no doubt that this is another task that the system has given me that anyone can complete, which is equivalent to getting something for free.

The reason this task was triggered was obviously because Xue Jian had just seen some insects fly onto his body, and then he felt that he had been invaded by 'evil spirits'.

Once you understand this, the approach to solving the problem becomes very clear.

Then Lin Li asked, "Teacher, do I have bugs on me?"

Xue Jian was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at Lin Li's back, scanned the area but found nothing, so he shook his head: "Didn't see anything."

Lin Li glanced at the system; the task was not completed.

Therefore, Xue Jian still had doubts.

Lin Li understood again: "Then teacher, let me take off some clothes so you can confirm again."

Lin Li quickly took off his autumn coat. Seeing this, Xue Jian looked more carefully at all the blind spots on Lin Li's body that he couldn't see, but still found nothing.

Xue Jian frowned slightly, his expression becoming a little more serious:
"Lin Li? Where do you feel the bugs have entered? Do you have a specific location? If you don't tell me, the area is too large, and I can't find them."

Lin Li was stunned: "Teacher, you're asking me? You don't know where I have bugs on me?"

Xue Jian: "(；☉_☉)?"

Do people say it?
"How would I know where you have bugs? What? Am I a tapeworm in your stomach?" Ignoring the ongoing interview, Xue Jian raised his voice eight octaves.

Lin Li frowned as well: "Teacher, don't you think I have bugs on me?"

"I don't think so."

The system still isn't responding... Xue Jian is still lying!
Lin Li's gaze sharpened: "No, you do."

Xue Jian: "(；☉_☉)?"

Huh? Me? Do I have one?

"Teacher, don't lie to me. You just think I have them, but I really don't have any bugs on me. I'll take off my clothes now, and you can take a good look. There really aren't any. I'll prove it to you."

Under the astonished gazes of everyone around the sofa, Lin Li suddenly took off his clothes, and even his inner shirt, not just his coat.

Xue Jian was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed with a sense of relief and a desire to die.

It's back, it's all back.

Lin Li eventually returned to this body.

The evil spirit achieved a remarkable 0.001s in the competition to resist the invasion of the body. Why don't you give it a try?

Task Six is ​​complete.

[You have received the following rewards: Improved Physique: Spiritual Energy Absorption Speed ​​increased by 100%, System Currency *50]

Upon seeing the system notification, Lin Li stopped what he was doing and put his clothes back on.

He couldn't help but chuckle with a hint of smugness—things were indeed unfolding exactly as he had planned.

Tsk, I've figured out this system completely.

Xue Jian is really something, stubbornly refusing to admit it.

idiot.

"Lin Li, what are you doing?" Yan Aosong asked in surprise, as this part wasn't in the script.

"It's alright, you can continue."

"There's nothing more to continue. We've asked almost all the questions we prepared. The Q&A records and photos we have now are enough for us to publish a few press releases."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Zhanpeng put away the recording pen.

"Principal Wang, Teacher Xue, and Lin Li, the main content of the interview is basically finished. Is there anything you three would like to add, or any information you would like to convey to the public through us?"

"Good, good, good," Principal Wang's lips immediately curled into a smile again, and he nodded repeatedly.

"I've expressed myself quite fully just now. It's just... when our press release is published, Officer Yan, could you please let me know via WeChat so I can read it as soon as possible..."

"No problem," Yan Aosong replied with a smile.

Yan Aosong glanced at Lin Li and raised his chin slightly.

Lin Li understood and looked at Principal Wang with just the right amount of respect and a hint of request on his face: "Principal, I would like to make a request to you."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Principal Wang, who was about to get up to see the guest off, sat back down and looked at Lin Li with some curiosity: "Tell me about it."

Lin Li immediately spoke up: "Principal, I hope the school can consider a thorough maintenance and improvement of the power distribution room and related power supply facilities."

"Hmm?" Principal Wang raised an eyebrow; this request was indeed unexpected.

"Lin Li, why did you make this request?"

Lin Li smiled shyly: "Last Thursday night, the whole school had a power outage, right?"

"Later I found out the reason, and it seemed that an insect crawled into the power distribution cabinet and caused a short circuit. Out of curiosity and concern for the school's facilities, I went to check out the area near several of our school's power distribution rooms."

Upon closer inspection, some potential problems were indeed discovered:
Many of the power distribution cabinets and equipment show obvious signs of aging, and the protective measures are somewhat inadequate. There are also many insects and ants in the surrounding environment.

If we don't maintain and refurbish it soon, I think there will be another power outage sooner or later.

Power outages are something no one wants to experience, as they greatly hinder the learning and teaching plans of teachers and students, and frequent power outages can lower the external evaluation of our school.

These are situations that none of us, including you and your teachers, want to see. That's why I mustered the courage to make this request, hoping you will consider it.

This is Lin Li's real purpose today, and also the solution he came up with when he saw the task on Thursday.

The task required him to persuade the school to repair the sect's grand formation. Lin Li's first thought was the principal, since someone without a voice couldn't possibly fulfill the request.

Without the principal's approval, such matters concerning logistical facilities are simply out of the question.

Power outages are not a big deal and are infrequent, so they won't attract much attention. Therefore, if Lin Li simply mails a message to the "Principal's Mailbox" or asks Xue Jian to forward it, he probably won't take it seriously for a long time, let alone involve himself in it.

Moreover, the school principal's mailbox is really terrible.

It is said that anonymous submissions are allowed, conveying suggestions and criticisms to any faculty or staff member to the principal.

Then, damn it, in the upper left corner of the wall, there's a surveillance camera pointing directly at this mailbox.

Is this a design that humans could come up with?

But in this situation, things are different.

With the banner hanging high and the Demon Suppressor by his side, making a request that shows concern for the school while being genuinely reasonable will guarantee success!
The reason Yan Aosong came to present the banner and conduct the interview today was because Lin Li had made this request to him on Thursday night.

Yan Aosong was initially worried that there might be a trap, and instinctively didn't want to agree.

Lin Li didn't want to do this, but Yan Aosong's resolute approach forced him to resort to unconventional methods:

"Uncle, I'd like to visit your house this week, and I'd like to stay for two whole days. Don't worry, Uncle, I'll definitely get along well with Auntie and your children. I can't wait!"

"I have prepared many topics to talk about with your family."

"For example, if your child watches Ultraman Tiga, I can tell him why Tiga didn't like Camilla 3,000 years ago, because Tiga's original form was black 30 million years ago, and Camilla's weapon was a whip."

"I can teach him morality and the rule of law."

"And what about my aunt? Does she use Xiaohongshu? Has she awakened to its potential? I have a yellow card on Xiaohongshu, so I can teach my aunt how to navigate the internet."

"..."

Then Yan Aosong agreed.

Just looking at those chat logs made Yan Aosong break out in a cold sweat.

The evil of human nature is on full display at this moment.

The saying "misfortune should not extend to family members" is meaningless to a despicable person like Lin Li.

—Unofficial knowledge: Babies do not have fingerprints before three months of age, so it is difficult for them to leave clues when they commit crimes at this time. This is also the origin of the idiom "baby little man".

Of course, although Lin Li used improper means, it doesn't mean that the banner and the interview were purely obtained through connections.

Lin Li's previous actions had already reached the threshold—no matter what, even setting aside these few proactive actions, he deserved a reward for catching the razor blade thief in the business district.

It's just that Lin Li had previously refused and said he didn't need it, but now he does need it.

So, after privately inquiring about Lin Li's true purpose, Yan Aosong, though still not understanding why Lin Li did this, reluctantly accepted it, feeling somewhat relieved. Seeing the principal still hesitant and unconvinced, Lin Li looked at Yan Aosong and Sheng Zhanpeng, as if remembering something, and added a reminder:

"Uncle Yan, Brother Sheng, this is not my interview statement, it is not meant to be conveyed to you, please do not record it or write it in the press release."

"Yes, of course I know that." Yan Aosong nodded casually, his gaze naturally falling on Principal Wang.

Principal Wang snapped out of his daze and, as was his habit, first explained to Yan Aosong and the others:
"Our school actually has a regular maintenance plan for electrical facilities. An unexpected power outage like last week is indeed an extremely rare exception..."

He then turned to Lin Li, his face regaining its gentle and approving smile:
"But, Lin Li, your starting point is good. Although the facilities have been under maintenance, it cannot be denied that the problem of being old is indeed objectively present. Thinking about it, it is time for renovation and repair."

Lin Li, this isn't exactly a request, it's something our school should do. Don't worry, I'll get started on it shortly. These things require following procedures, but if we act quickly, you should see initial results within the next two weeks.

It's not a big deal, and it won't cost much. Besides, it's definitely beneficial to the school, so we can totally agree to it.

Moreover, Principal Wang felt it was inappropriate to refuse such a request in front of Yan Aosong and Sheng Zhanpeng.

I am ashamed to have failed the motto "Effective school management demonstrates great love, and silent moral cultivation nurtures outstanding talents!"
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Lin Li's lips.

As a galgame expert, Lin Li knows very well that before many events, he needs to raise his favorability rating in order to trigger the plot he wants.

All of this, from the banners to the cooperation during interviews, was done to cultivate goodwill.

Having played masterpieces like "Rebirth of Lolita Island," Lin Li knows exactly how to win over older, middle-aged characters like the principal.

However, when it comes to galgame masters, Zhang Haoyang is the one to come to mind.

Those who enjoy playing visual novels know that after playing too many of these games and experiencing a high degree of homogenization, it becomes difficult to rediscover the initial immersion and engagement.

The first time you play, you might be moved by the story and characters. When the female lead confesses her love, you might feel a flutter in your heart, a tingling sensation, and a longing for the same kind of love.

But after playing for a long time, it's easy to get caught in a cycle of "boredom, fast forward to Cao Pi's part".

Upon hearing about Lin Li's situation, Zhang Haoyang immediately offered a suggestion: Lin Li should name the protagonist "Tai".

That weekend, when Lin Li saw the words "Sir, I like you" in the text box while the female protagonist was confessing her love in the game, he rediscovered the thrill he had felt before: this time, it wasn't just in his heart, he felt ants crawling all over his body.

—My whole body was itchier than the first time I played with it, it was unforgettable, so the effect was quite remarkable.

Of course, Lin Li's goal has not been fully achieved yet.

“However, Principal, I have one more request,” Lin Li continued, seizing the opportunity to reveal his remaining purpose: “I hope I can participate in it when the time comes.”

"Oh?" Principal Wang was somewhat surprised again. "Why?"

"Firstly, I personally have an interest in this area and hope to observe and practice it up close. I know a little about the relevant knowledge, so I can help the electricians. Secondly, I naturally hope to contribute my share to the management of the school."

After all, the school is like my home, and its development depends on everyone. I am also a part of this family.

Since I've already contributed to society, what reason do I have not to do my best at school?

Lin Li continued speaking without stopping.

"This..." This request made Principal Wang hesitate.

Lin Li's intentions were good, and Principal Wang felt his enthusiasm. To be honest, Principal Wang was even a little moved.

But as the principal, he ultimately didn't want such an 'accident' to happen, because if the students' safety were compromised at such a time, the school would be in grave danger.

"Principal, you can rest assured and promise me."

Whether the maintenance is scheduled for noon or on the weekend, I can cooperate 100% and adjust my schedule accordingly.

As for safety, you can rest assured. I will strictly abide by safety regulations and only perform the simplest auxiliary tasks, such as passing tools and clearing the surrounding area. I will only observe and not participate in the core operations. I understand the principle of leaving professional tasks to professionals.

Before Principal Wang could even offer a polite refusal, Lin Li had already read the look in his eyes and immediately began to make a relentless and confident promise.

As for assisting, Lin Li was not lying. The task only required participation. Literally speaking, he could simply help the electricians pass things over.

Yan Aosong, who had already gotten up with Sheng Zhanpeng to leave, nodded at this moment:
"Putting aside my identity, to give a personal assessment, Lin Li's personal abilities are indeed outstanding, and he is indeed... indeed... indeed aware of his own abilities."

My conscience was troubled.

But there was no way around it; Yan Aosong could set aside his status and conscience, but he simply couldn't set aside his family.

Seeing that both of them said so, Principal Wang pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, Lin Li, I truly appreciate your sincerity, and I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm. I will arrange for you to participate, but we still need to..."

Principal Wang began by outlining three rules for safety with Lin Li.

Lin Li naturally responded repeatedly.

Everything today is indeed under my control.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll have Teacher Xue inform you of the specific time and arrangements once the logistics department has coordinated them."

Seeing the line of children standing there, Principal Wang nodded with satisfaction, reassured that entrusting the task to this child was no problem.

Xue Jian, standing next to him, had a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

His inner doubts grew wildly like weeds:

Could it be that... there are actually no evil spirits possessing Linli's body?
Was everything just now merely a performance by Lin Li, with the purpose of this moment?

But soon, Xue Jian felt that this logic was hard to reconcile, because he couldn't understand why Lin Li would go through such a long and complicated process for this reason.

Could it be that Lin Li wants to be formally employed?

As we all know, a person can connect to the national power grid simply by touching an electrical wire.

The problem is that Xue Jian felt this logic was untenable; it was illegal recruitment, and if he did it, he would soon be taken down by fire or ambulance.

Can't figure it out.

"By the way, Lin Li, would you be interested in giving a speech under the national flag to all the teachers and students at next week's flag-raising ceremony?"
If you don't want to mention your heroic deeds, you can share your experiences on how you've made great progress in your studies and set an example for others.

"We need as many children as you as possible in our school," the principal said, patting Lin Li on the shoulder with lingering emotion.

"It's up to you, I'm fine with anything." It wasn't a good time to disagree, and Lin Li really didn't care, so he just smiled and went along with it.

"Okay, then next week's..."

Xue Jian: "(；☉_☉)?!!"

"Wait a minute—"

"Principal, we need to stay calm about this!"

Xue Jian disregarded the current situation and leaned forward to speak in a low voice.

“Lin Li will always be Lin Li. You can’t give him the opportunity to speak in front of the whole school just because of his momentary human behavior. That’s too dangerous.”

“Teacher Xue,” Principal Wang smiled and shook his head, patted Xue Jian on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Your prejudice against Lin Li is still too great. In my opinion, Lin Li is a sensible and well-mannered child with good character and good grades. It's actually acceptable for a student like him to have a little hobby like 'anti-prostitution'."

"Besides, it's just a speech under the national flag, at most ten minutes. We're all watching from the sidelines, what kind of trouble could possibly happen?"

Teacher Xue, you must have confidence in Lin Li, and also confidence in our management!

Xue Jian: "..."

Grass.

I only have this worry because I have so much confidence in Lin Li.

……

Principal Wang led Yan Aosong and Sheng Zhanpeng to the school gate to take some photos.

Xue Jian and Lin Li finally embarked on their journey back to the teaching building.

In the end, I still didn't mention Principal Wang from above.

Let him be.

"Get the speech draft ready this week, and then let me take a look at it." Xue Jian glanced at Lin Li sideways, realizing that the heavy responsibility could only be entrusted to him.

"Okay, teacher." With the principal, his protector, absent, Lin Li remained honest and unassuming.

But Xue Jian was still worried.

He took out his phone, opened the weather forecast, and then nodded with a slight smile, somewhat satisfied.

There is a 79% chance of rain next week.

If it rains every Monday for the next fifty days, Lin Li's lecture can be postponed until the end of the semester.

There is still hope for Nansang Middle School.

But then Xue Jian sighed and said, "Lin Li, be careful when you're doing electrical repairs."

Lin Li nodded: "I understand, teacher, I will."

"I'm telling you to be careful of other electricians' safety."

"Teacher, that's exactly what I meant." Having already anticipated this turn of events, Lin Li smiled affectionately instead, "Silly girl~"

That big idiot Jianjian, he's being arrogant again.

Stupid, idiot?
Xue Jian: "?"
