Chapter 964: Chapter 446: This Is Really Rude
Lin Li felt that asking someone for their Promotion Device just half an hour after meeting them was somewhat impolite.
At the very least, you should spend more time together, become good friends, and then ask.
Damn it, I’m practically Zhu Ning’s lifesaver, right? And then this guy just turns around and asks for my lifeline? Isn’t that biting the hand that feeds you?
[Perhaps it was a fateful encounter; when the beautiful young lady discovered that you happened to possess something that could save her and her family, friends, and even her country, she immediately pleaded for your help.
If all it takes is a bit of effort on your part to save countless lives, why not?]
[Task Triggered!]
[Task 5: Strive to meet the beautiful young lady’s request regarding this matter.]
[Task Reward: Physical Improvement: Max Stamina +100%; Random System Item*1; System Currency*100]
Lin Li: "..."
Between Lin Li and Zhu Ning, who was crouched on the ground, a virtual system screen popped up at this moment, displaying the task in front of Lin Li.
System, are you freaking kidding me?
Is this something you can release as a task?
You want me to cut it off?
Lin Li’s gaze went past the system and looked at Zhu Ning below, more accurately, at the "Feather Recovery Pill" inside Zhu Ning’s body.
...Wait a second, this pill seems like it can heal recent physical damage.
But the thought of "cutting it off, then eating the ’Feather Recovery Pill’ to heal" never made it into Lin Li’s options.
The reason is simple: Lin Li didn’t want to do it.
Who knows how the "Feather Recovery Pill" restores things.
In the novels he read, those amazing healing pills usually restore injured parts to "as tender as a baby’s."
But if his thing grows back "as tender as a baby’s" after taking the "Feather Recovery Pill," then damn, his life is ruined.
Just picturing that scene in his mind made Lin Li want to laugh at first because he only imagined the lower half—but after imagining the upper half and realizing this body’s face was his, Lin Li suddenly wished he could die.
After that, he wouldn’t even be as good as Zeng Ziang.
Because he wouldn’t even have the qualifications to be bulging.
However, to be honest, even if it were certain that the "Feather Recovery Pill" could restore it to its original state, Lin Li wouldn’t consider doing it.
It’s not because the reward is too small; even if this task offered 1000 System Currency, Lin Li still wouldn’t be interested.
Lin Li is someone who, in modern cultivation life, occasionally slacks off to flirt and watch videos; he never thought the system’s tasks were above his life. He did each task before just because although Lin Li sometimes complained, he didn’t really dislike these tasks.
Doing them was quite fun, and there were rewards, and most of the time, Lin Li enjoyed it.
But for this task, Lin Li simply couldn’t find any joy; just thinking about it made him squeamish.
As for whether doing this would save countless lives, Lin Li didn’t care.
The system world doesn’t feel real, honestly, even if the real world told Lin Li that cutting it off would bring world peace and end wars, Lin Li still wouldn’t do it.
At the end of the day, Lin Li considers himself a selfish egoist, so if this task really requires cutting something once, be prepared for it to stay in the task list forever.
With these thoughts, Lin Li turned his gaze to Zhu Ning, showing a slight indifference:
"Sorry, my Promotion Device has been with me since birth and always chooses to stand in front of me, no matter how dangerous the situation—except when it’s really cold, but in that case, I don’t blame it, it’s because I dress too lightly.
The bond between me and it is so strong that we will never part for life.
Besides, I only have one, and if I give it to someone else, there won’t be any left for me.
Miss Zhu, please respect yourself; from both an emotional and rational perspective, I could never give it to anyone, not even lend it."
If the thing had a soul, hearing Lin Li’s words, it might have wet itself, crying from its eyes.
And Zhu Ning, who had been waiting for an answer, was slightly stunned hearing Lin Li’s response. So, this thing is such an inconvenient matter? How come it doesn’t match my understanding of it?
But no matter what, my inexplicable request was rightfully rejected, even without a reason.
"Sorry, I was too hasty," Zhu Ning’s voice was full of apology. "I didn’t know that the males in your world originally only had one, and that it’s so precious..."
Lin Li: "(;☉_☉)?"
Huh? Did your world’s males once have many of them?
That’s quite something.
Maybe that’s the reason for their extinction.
"It’s okay," Lin Li shook his head, seeing Zhu Ning’s silence and lack of intention to continue the conversation, he took the initiative to keep the conversation going:
"However, what I’m curious about is, Miss Zhu, why do you want my thing? Is it really that important for you and your country? What’s the situation in this world?"
"Sorry, Mr. Lin Li, you’ve been sharing with me about your world, but I’ve repeatedly forgotten to explain our world’s situation first."
"Sorry! Mr. Lin Li, you’ve been sharing information about your world, but I forgot to first introduce our world." It was only after Lin Li’s reminder that Zhu Ning realized it had always been the other party providing a one-way output, and she felt even more apologetic.
