I Start with a Mysterious Island-Chapter 149 - 148: Don’t Even Think About Tempting Me, I Won’t Fall for It
"This..." After reading the post, Lin Li was rendered speechless. The person on the motorcycle it described was obviously him.
Then, he started scrolling to read the comments left by other Exotic Beast Hunters below the post.
Novel Addict: Wow, the OP and his teammates had some bad luck! If that horde of Mutant Beasts had caught them, they would’ve been toast, right?
BookwormForLife: The guy on the motorcycle that the OP and his team ran into in the wilderness is most likely a newbie.
Troublemaker: Besides an inexperienced newbie, who else would do something so dangerous!
Kalanina: This newbie sure has a lot of guts!
ItsAllMeaningless: For that newbie to be able to ride a motorcycle for a lap in the wilderness and survive, his luck must be insane.
IllAtEase: This is probably what they call "fortune favoring fools"! Anyone else would’ve been taken out by the Mutant Beasts long ago.
SuperSoldierX2: After reading the OP’s post, I have a different opinion from everyone above. I think the guy on the motorcycle in the wilderness might not be a newbie.
Infinite Labyrinth: I agree with the post above. I also don’t think that person is a newbie.
Lonely Soul: Daring to ride a motorcycle through the wilderness and attract the attention of so many Mutant Beasts... even a veteran Exotic Beast Hunter with the strength to do something like that wouldn’t do it!
SoloCutie: Too bad the OP and his team didn’t find that person. I’d love to know how he would’ve dealt with them after getting them caught in the crossfire.
BigMonk: That fellow Hunter who dared to ride a motorcycle in the wilderness might be reading this very post right now! Hey, if the person involved sees this, hurry up and leave a comment!
’That ’BigMonk’ user must think I’m an idiot. Of course I’m going to lurk and act like nothing happened in a situation like this...’
Lin Li looked at the netizen telling him to leave a comment and grumbled to himself. Then he exited the Exotic Beast Hunter app.
After reading that post, Lin Li finally understood why that group of Exotic Beast Hunters he’d encountered had looked so miserable when he saw them again from his minivan on his way back to the safe zone.
They had been chased by a horde of Mutant Beasts from the wilderness!
"Next time I use the motorcycle, if I run into this kind of situation again, I’ll try my best to drive away from other people." Having learned from this experience, Lin Li thought for a moment and muttered to himself.
Then, just as Lin Li was about to get up and go to the kitchen to heat up the spicy Crayfish he’d put in the fridge for a late-night snack, a news anchor on the TV cut in with a breaking story.
"Good evening, viewers. We have just received an urgent report that a criminal selling contraband in a neighboring city has fled here, to our city.
The criminal’s name is Wang Jixiong. He is a forty-two-year-old male, 1.8 meters tall, with a powerful build and a buzz cut. He is a Cultivator at the Second Rank Initial Stage.
If any citizen discovers a clue related to this criminal, you can call the Superpower Administration Bureau. If the information is confirmed to be accurate, there will be a reward ranging from fifty thousand to one hundred thousand."
As the news anchor delivered this breaking news, a high-definition photo of the criminal was also displayed.
"This guy is already at the Second Rank Initial Stage. It should be easy for him to find a job, so why is he still involved in illegal activities? He looks so honest and trustworthy, too. I can’t believe he’d do something like this."
Lin Li glanced at the criminal’s high-definition photo on the TV, then he got up, left the living room, and headed for his kitchen.

"One, two, three, four... Two, two, three, four... Three, two, three, four..."
A cheerful rhythm echoed in the living room. On the TV, a fitness instructor, who looked to be in his early thirties, was leading a workout routine.
Su Yue, clad in a tight pink workout outfit, was diligently following along—twisting her waist, raising her arms, and kicking her legs.
If Lin Li were to see Su Yue doing this routine right now, he wouldn’t be able to resist teasing, "The workout you’re doing... why does it look like one of those school calisthenics routines?"
After following the on-screen instructor for over half an hour, fine beads of sweat dotted Su Yue’s forehead.
The front and back of her clothes were soaked with sweat. The damp pink workout outfit clung tightly to her well-defined curves.
Her workout complete, Su Yue stopped moving.
The long workout left Su Yue exhausted. The moment she stopped, an overwhelming wave of fatigue washed over her.
"Huu..." Exhausted, Su Yue let out a long breath. She picked up the water bottle she’d set aside and took a few slow sips to replenish the fluids she’d lost during her workout.
Then, she picked up her phone from the sofa, opened the calendar app, and marked that she had completed her workout task for the day.
Losing weight isn’t something that can be accomplished overnight. To lose weight by exercising, one has to persevere for at least two or three months.
’So tired! Actually, just like Lin Li said, with my current figure, I don’t need to lose weight at all.’
Exhausted, Su Yue thought about how she had been doing these workouts for less than a week. She glanced down at her own curvaceous and alluring figure, and the thought of slacking off couldn’t help but surface.
’No way. I can’t be swayed by that blockhead Lin Li. Since I’ve already decided to stick with exercising, I have to see this workout plan through to the end.’
The lazy thought had barely surfaced before Su Yue snuffed it out.
Resting on the sofa, Su Yue opened her WeChat Moments and saw a post from Lin Li made just a few minutes ago. The caption read: "A delicious late-night snack."
The post was accompanied by an incredibly tempting photo of spicy Crayfish.
Su Yue knew with one look at the photo that the late-night snack Lin Li was eating was the spicy Crayfish she had packed for him.
Having just finished her workout, Su Yue looked at Lin Li’s post and was suddenly hit with the urge to go to the fridge and grab a carton of ice cream.
"That jerk Lin Li. If he’s going to eat, fine, but why does he have to post about it?!"
Strong-willed as she was, Su Yue once again crushed the impulse. She left a comment on Lin Li’s post and immediately closed WeChat.
’I should hurry up, take a shower, and go to bed. Once I’m asleep, I won’t be hungry, and I won’t be thinking about late-night snacks.’
Su Yue put her phone on the sofa, then got up and went to her bedroom to grab her pajamas and take a shower.
