Chapter 1089: Chapter 488: Whose Lifetime Is This Again? (2)
Seeing Lin Li lost in thought, Du Zhuo added:
"Although I can call the passengers to confirm information and determine if there are any females, we can’t refuse rides without reason. In auto-accept mode, frequently selecting and refusing orders leads to a sharp drop in my acceptance rate, completion rate, and passenger ratings.
The platform will quickly label me as a poor driver and penalize me—for example, by restricting orders, lowering dispatch priority, or even banning the account, which is not tolerable for me..."
After he finished speaking, Du Zhuo looked at Lin Li, seemingly waiting for Lin Li’s decision.
"Got it," Lin Li nodded, "Let’s use the app for orders, don’t worry Brother Du, even if I get an order with only male passengers, I won’t cancel it, I’ll complete the order and take them to their destination as usual."
"Thanks," Du Zhuo thanked him apologetically and sincerely added, "Like this, Lin Li, if you get an order with only men, it won’t count toward that 400 per hour subsidy, I feel awkward accepting it."
"I’ll also keep an eye on our car owner group, if there’s an order suitable for your criteria, I’ll see if I can help you take it over right away."
"Shall I start taking orders now? Not just carpool orders, most passengers probably won’t be a full group of four when hailing a ride. We’ll call them in advance, offer some discounts and compensation, most will likely agree, and these costs can be deducted from my earnings."
"That’s fine, but I’ll cover these costs, thanks for your kindness Brother Xie."

The luck wasn’t great at the start of the evening; until now, six orders have been taken, only two of which included females.
Since among them, there’s also a relatively long-distance order, with pick-up and drop-off each taking time, it’s already 8:30 now.
Strictly speaking, efficiency is worse than simply waiting foolishly at the station; being able to screen passengers both ways, in two and a half hours, there should at least be two orders, without having to run around everywhere.
But there’s no point regretting now, no need to think about it.
Lin Li asked about it, and Du Zhuo didn’t plan to go home early today; he wasn’t resistant to running the night shift with Lin Li.
Then there’s no big problem.
Because even if tonight’s orders aren’t completed, they can definitely be finished by tomorrow morning.
"Thanks, master, bye."
"Bye."
Arriving at the destination again, the passenger politely thanked before getting off.
And from the beginning, Du Zhuo, who was showing a slightly uncomfortable expression, quickly said to Lin Li: "Lin Li, drive towards a nearby public restroom, my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable."
Actually, Lin Li had already noticed and nodded, smiling wistfully:
"Luckily you held on just now, otherwise the passengers would be hitchhiking, and we’d be embarrassed to charge them."
Du Zhuo: "?"
Du Zhuo found it hard to follow Lin Li’s train of thought.
What kind of hitchhiking are you talking about?
This has really turned into a slightly poop-related storyline.
Though if he had really let it out, he probably would be embarrassed to charge that passenger, but it’s completely different from what you said!!
"Stop talking about this, I’ve already navigated, quickly drive this way!"
However, Du Zhuo didn’t have time to retort; he had already filtered the destination in the midst of sending a previous batch of passengers and hurriedly replaced his usual phone with the work phone, securing it on the holder and navigating with voice prompts.
"We’re already speeding up, Brother Du," Lin Li glanced at Du Zhuo and curiously asked, "Brother, generally speaking, two hundred for vomiting in the car, but if a passenger poops in the car, how much compensation is required."
Du Zhuo’s mouth twitched: "Normally, it wouldn’t happen, hey!"
"True," Lin Li found it reasonable and nodded, reminding while driving according to the navigation: "Brother Du, if you can’t hold it anymore, just let me know, I have a way to make you endure for a bit longer."
"Poop Suppression Talisman" never forgets its mission.
"Drive quickly!"
The public restroom wasn’t far away and was soon reached.
"Wait for me in the car for a moment." Du Zhuo opened the car door and started sprinting.
"I’ll go too; I just want to use the restroom anyway." Lin Li closed the window and got out of the car.
Of course, Lin Li just wanted to relieve himself.
As for any unusual physical conditions like diarrhea, Lin Li hasn’t experienced them since he began the path of Cultivation.
Everyone, poop only when you want to poop, pee only when you want to pee; walking into a smelly public restroom, you can even summon a breeze to circle around you, expelling odors—this is the significance of Cultivation!
The Cultivator quickly finished peeing, while the mortal was still struggling, Lin Li headed to the wash basin to wash his hands.
Speaking of which, juicy beef balls are called "pee beef balls," so why aren’t stuffed dumplings called "poop dumplings."
But just as Lin Li was about to leave, Du Zhuo made an inquiry sound: "Lin Li, is it you outside?"
"It’s me, what’s up, Brother Du?"
"Did you bring tissues? The paper in this public restroom feels dirty, not really something I want to use," Du Zhuo explained.
"I have some."
"Then give me some, thanks."
"OK, Brother, reach out your hand."
"Alright."
Du Zhuo didn’t think much and simply extended his hand.
The next second, he felt his hand being gently held by another hand, though it seemed like it was separated by a cold plastic glove, but soon, warmth was transmitted through the thin glove.
Holding hands?
Could this be the feeling of... falling in love... feel my ass!!!
"What the heck, what the heck, what the heck, what the heck—" Du Zhuo was so startled he almost sat back into the toilet, quickly retracting his hand and exclaimed in shock: "Lin Li, is this some sort of potion or what?"
