Chapter 284: Chapter 230: Lin Li is really kind-hearted
These days, you can even see someone trying to smear Hayao Miyazaki online.
Lin Li didn’t pay any more attention to the special-grade curse spirit Chen Tianming. He approached the big rope jumping area, got a clear view of the situation, and then shouted:
"Ding Sihan, stop your legs!"
"Huh?"
Then, while Ding Sihan was in a daze, Lin Li sprang forward, hugging his head, jumped as the rope hit the ground, and swiftly escaped.
Behind, cutting in line, Ding Sihan, who followed to jump, got hit on the leg.
"Haha, loser." Lin Li turned back, planted his fists on his hips, pointed at Ding Sihan and laughed loudly.
"You messed up my rhythm! And you have the nerve to bark? I’ll show you who’s useless! I’ll show you!" Ding Sihan, furious and embarrassed, chased after Lin Li and began to kick.
"My school uniform and pants are custom-made, eighteen hundred! Eighteen hundred!" So Lin Li clutched his rear and ran.
Eighteen hundred, got dirty.
The two of them returned to the big rope jumping area.
Nansang’s setup for this event used the "figure-eight rope" format, where all contestants enter and exit the rope circle sequentially on an "8" shaped route. The winner is determined by the number of successful completions within three minutes.
The rule is two people to swing the rope, eight contestants, but now there are many people watching to see who jumps well, deciding who to let in.
Lin Li naturally blended in with the crowd, almost flawlessly, though he constantly worried about the rope hitting his head, so every jump was head-hugged.
"How are you jumping so well?" Ding Sihan hesitantly asked from behind.
"Obviously, it’s a talent, it couldn’t possibly be because back in elementary school I’d always say to my buddies that jumping rubber bands were a naive game only sissies played. But then every day after school I’d immediately join the kids in my neighborhood, singing ’First in jumping rubber bands, twenty-one, two, five, six, two, five, seven, two, eight, two, nine, thirty-one,’ right?"
Ha—, ha—." It was so long, Lin Li was almost out of breath saying it.
Lin Li suddenly realized, long complicated sentences are surely a kind of language deep-throat.
Ding Sihan: "..."
"You’re really impressive, Lin Li. You seem quite suitable for this event." Chen Yu Ying came over and said.
"I’m good with anything, after all, I’m an all-around player. I’m the cornerstone of Class Four, ready to be moved wherever needed! Loyalty! Just waiting for the class leader’s command, no matter the event, I’ll immediately defect!" Lin Li saluted solemnly on the spot.
Chen Yu Ying was already used to it, nodded: "I’ll see, Lin Li, are you good at other events? Like this stepping stone river crossing, everyone seems awkward walking it."
Lin Li looked in the direction Chen Yu Ying pointed, seeing three bricks on the ground.
The so-called stepping stone river crossing game required contestants to use these three bricks as footholds, moving from the start line to the finish line, with no part of the body touching the ground, or else having to start over.
Nansang’s approach here was a relay race, with a fifteen-meter route, six people responsible for three parts forward and three parts back, calculating total time spent.
"This is simple."
Lin Li nodded confidently, stepped forward, weighed the bricks, and then began to ’cross the river’.
The standard way was to have each foot on a brick, then move the third brick forward before proceeding, repeating the process.
Lin Li started this way too, his speed not fast, seemingly adjusting.
But after only a few meters, Lin Li put one brick aside, using only two bricks—lifting one foot, pulling out the brick behind with his hand while the other foot was coming down on the brick ahead.
This method was very fast but required certain skills, the other side Bai Bufan was also trying this event, his eyes widened.
Lin Li could walk, why couldn’t I walk — so Bai Bufan tried it as well.
Hmm.
Stepping on his own hand still hurt.
"Simple." After easily finishing, Lin Li stood up and snapped his fingers.
"So the third stone is really extra?" Chen Yu Ying covered her slightly opened lips in surprise and remarked.
"Not extra, I’ve already thought of how to use it." Lin Li waved his hand. He’s a pro, with tricks up his sleeves.
"What use?"
"When the time comes, I’ll stash it in my pocket, whoever is in front of our class team, I’ll toss it at them." Lin Li reasoned without reason.
Chen Yu Ying: "?"
Is that how bricks are supposed to be used?
Well.
Bricks seem to be used this way.
"The school won’t allow that," Chen Yu Ying said with a smile.
"Why not? Others need three bricks just like Bai Bufan because they’re useless, while I spare one, shouldn’t I be free to throw it?" Lin Li was getting angry.
"If others quit the competition, they’d spare three bricks. Lin Li, who do you think they might throw at?" Bai Bufan lazily spoke from the side, not forgetting to aim at Lin Li’s head with a brick in hand.
Also a turn a blind eye situation.
Lin Li: "?"
Makes sense.
"I support all school rules! Student safety is the utmost priority!" Lin Li exclaimed seriously.
The girls burst into laughter.
Lin Li then tested other fun projects they could try.
All achieved good results.
To get these results, it comes down to Lin Li believing his physical control ability improved 100%, and his understanding increased by 40% with these two buffs, the latter speeding up comprehension of essential points of fun projects, and the former quickly turned his ’theoretical experience’ into practice, making failure nearly impossible.
Listening to the girls’ constant exclamations and generous compliments, Lin Li’s little tail was almost showing in the sky.
