"Are you guys here to register?"
At this moment, a man came out.
Zhao Yifei, the class monitor, stepped forward: "Hello, yes, we're here to register as a team, but we're still missing a few members who haven't arrived."
Man: "Then let's start registering first. There's not much to it, and it won't be over in a short time. Did you bring your identity cards?"
Everyone hurriedly took out their ID cards.
Xu Lin remained calm and quiet in place.
Yu Xinyan asked him, "Xu Lin, did you bring your ID card?"
"Why don't you check my pants pocket?"
Yu Xinyan reached her hand into his pocket to check.
"Where did you put it?"
Yu Xinyan couldn't find it. Xu Lin only had two pockets, and neither had an ID card.
"Xu Lin, did you forget your ID card?"
However, Xu Lin reached behind Yu Xinyan's head and quickly pulled back.
"Look, I can do magic!"
Xu Lin had an ID card in his hand.
"Xu Lin, you're always messing with me!"
"Isn't it possible that it was real magic?"
"Really?"
"Just kidding."
"Xu Lin, you're messing with me again!"
"But I only mess with you, see, I care about you so much."
"That's alright then!"
Yu Xinyan stood there, elegant and full of grace, her smile as radiant as a flower, picturesque like poetry.
Jeez!
Xu Lin, that jerk!
Zhao Yifei tried to look serious, but his peripheral vision kept wandering, seeing Xu Lin teasing Yu Xinyan, which made Zhao Yifei a bit uneasy.
And Lei Haolong?
He was busy taking notes the entire time.
Holy crap!
Xu Lin's really got the skills!
Lei Haolong hadn't noticed before, but now after observing, he admired Xu Lin even more.
"Lei Haolong, are you in a relationship recently?"
Xu Lin noticed Lei Haolong frequently looking down to type and casually asked.
Right.
The words above Lei Haolong's head changed.
[A shy, fanatical teenage boy, longing for a girlfriend, preferably an older sister a few years his senior.]
Admires me?
What about Zhao Yifei?
[A person so jealous of you that his face is distorted.]
Xu Lin felt it was unfortunate that Fei couldn't give him a special reward.
No tasks were refreshing.
"Ahem, I haven't planned on dating recently!"
Lei Haolong quickly shut his phone, putting on a serious demeanor, afraid that his notes would be discovered by Xu Lin, which would be embarrassing.
Xu Lin didn't bother to expose Lei Haolong. This guy actually liked older women, which was a bit of an odd preference.
Not long after, the registration started.
The process was quite simple; they snapped a photo afterward, which was just for the exam system.
But when it was Xu Lin's turn.
A task was directly triggered again.
[This is your driving license exam+.]
Xu Lin saw the "+" sign and immediately opened it.
[Task available: Successfully pass the driving license exam.]
[Note: Task duration is two months, no penalty for failure, completing the task grants 'Master Driving Skills' + a random reward.]
"The earliest I can get my license is a little over a month, right?"
Xu Lin was quite confident in himself.
License?
It's just a simple task!
Soon, Xu Lin and the others finished registering.
"Xu Lin, when did you schedule the Subject One exam?"
Lei Haolong came over to ask.
Yu Xinyan said, "Xu Lin and I are taking the exam on Wednesday!"
Xu Lin hadn't actually planned to take the exam on Wednesday, but when Yu Xinyan said so, he thought about how he wanted to quickly get his license.
So Xu Lin nodded: "Let's make it Wednesday then!"
"But there are over a thousand questions, can you finish them in two days?"
Lei Haolong felt a bit hesitant, since today was already Sunday.
Xu Lin: "Isn't it just a matter of using your hands?"
"Then I'll take the exam on Wednesday too!"
Lei Haolong decided not to think too much, "I'd better prepare well tonight!"
Zhao Yifei didn't miss the chance to show off, saying from not too far away: "Actually, many of the Subject One questions are common sense, you could pass with your eyes closed. I don't even need to study, after all, even though I don't have a license, I've been driving for three years, which makes me quite experienced!"
"Wow, monitor, you're amazing!"
"Monitor, can I ask you if I don't understand anything?"
Immediately, a few people cheered for Zhao Yifei.
Zhao Yifei, feeling proud, said: "Of course, if anyone needs help with this, feel free to ask me anytime!"
While speaking, Zhao Yifei's eyes found Yu Xinyan, but she was just drinking water and didn't notice him.
However, Xu Lin's mind was on a different track.
Xu Lin suddenly said: "Driving without a license, isn't that breaking the law, Fei?"
"Yeah, you can't drive without a license, right!"
Yu Xinyan added, feeling enlightened by Xu Lin's words.
Lei Haolong also said: "Monitor, isn't driving without a license illegal?"
"Ahem!"
Zhao Yifei coughed twice, quite embarrassed, but tried to stay composed as he continued: "I only drive in rural areas when I go back to my hometown, not in the city, and I'm very careful about traffic safety. My dad also taught me to always pay attention to traffic safety, insisting I must get my license after the college entrance exam!"
"I see!"
Xu Lin had an 'aha, I get it now' expression.
Zhao Yifei felt like coughing up blood; Xu Lin, you jerk, you just had to undermine me then!
It was already just past 11 o'clock in the morning.
In June, it's already quite hot, with daytime temperatures exceeding thirty degrees; it's scorching.
Xu Lin glanced at the dazzling sun in the sky.
Then turned to Yu Xinyan and said: "We'll become dried corpses if we stay here any longer, let's head back!"
"Okay!"
Yu Xinyan followed Xu Lin into the car.
"Lei Haolong, we're heading back!"
Xu Lin bid farewell to Lei Haolong.
Lei Haolong: "Bye, Xu Lin!"
Then, they saw Xu Lin riding away with Yu Xinyan on a scooter, drawing the envy of everyone around.
Meanwhile on Xu Lin's end.
He had lunch with Yu Xinyan, a bowl of rice noodles, then drove back to the community.
Upon reaching the community, the two parted ways.
Xu Lin went home and turned on the computer.
With the high school graduation came a three-month vacation, how one spends this long break distinguished several types of people.
Firstly, the diligent ones, perhaps starting to preview college courses, or doing things related to future academic plans.
Secondly, those from average or above-average families, enjoying everyday food and entertainment.
Thirdly, wealthy families, indulging in more thrilling food and entertainment.
Fourthly, rural families possibly working summer jobs in factories.
Fifthly, those preparing to retake exams, which is a significant number, even including those eligible for prestigious universities, as they aim for even higher-ranking schools.
Xu Lin belonged to the second type.
Pop!
Xu Lin opened a can of War Horse, which was a prize from Yu Xinyan yesterday.
When he opened the lid, unexpectedly, he won again.
This drink, with some luck, one could win multiple rounds, Xu Lin's record was five consecutive wins.
At this moment, Xu Lin logged onto the chat software and found Moonlit Night's account.
He had sent over a dozen messages today, saying that the chapters Xu Lin wrote last night exploded in popularity, unexpectedly effective, and he wanted Xu Lin to continue writing.
This was Xu Lin's current skill; a mere two chapters could cause such a reaction.
So Moonlit Night wanted Xu Lin to keep writing.
