The Most Random System

Gentle girls are actually gentle to everyone. Don't mistakenly think they are only gentle to you, then get smug and forget yourself, only to end up in an unhappy breakup, hurting both sides.

The mentor and Xiaojing alternated in their minds, stabilizing Lin Li's wavering Dao heart once again.

For a cultivator to come this far is truly not easy, as the path is fraught with difficulties and obstacles.

"I didn't have anything happen, I didn't catch up because I was watching the show. I'll tell you..." Lin Li didn't dwell on this matter but shared his recent experiences with the three.

Some things are best kept mysterious and beautiful, there's no need to dig too deep.

"So, what do you want the ghost head cover and clothes for?" Ding Sihan squinted upon hearing the end.

"Of course, just to take a look and return it. What else? You think I'd wear it to purposely target you, Ding Sihan, chase you around while laughing maniacally, and then plan to kick your butt for revenge? No way, I wouldn't do such a thing."

Lin Li stated his original plan for mischief.

"Where did that sister go earlier?" Ding Sihan took a deep breath and asked with a smile.

"What do you want to do?" Lin Li asked in return.

"Ask her if she's finished with the chainsaw. If she is, then I need it to chop someone up too."

"Speaking of which, I think our priority should be to rejoin the main group." Lin Li analyzed rationally.

...

Found Chen Tianming and the three.

"Lin Li, are you okay?" Yao Qiaoqiao asked with concern when she saw the four return.

"I'm fine." Lin Li nodded.

"Good you're fine; I thought something happened to you." Yao Qiaoqiao also nodded.

With Chen Yu Ying shining brightly before them, Lin Li felt nothing and just smiled, saying thank you.

Originally, this wasn't a dedicated escape room project, and the ghost house process wasn't long. Shortly thereafter, under Chen Tianming's lead, everyone escaped successfully within the prescribed time and saw the light again.

The young couple didn't manage to escape; they're probably stuck inside.

We mourn them again.

[With fearless and carefree style, passed the eight challenges of the Pingjiang Secret Realm (8/8)]

[Task five completed.]

[You have earned rewards: Physical Improvement: Limb control ability increased by 100%; Random capability *1; System currency *100.]

The moment the reward appeared, Lin Li felt a sense of 'ease.'

His body felt more like his own; whether it's waving hands or turning legs, he could strike poses more aligned with his intentions than before.

This so-called limb control ability, perhaps it's body coordination ability?

Now he could really dance more seductively than Xiaojing.

[You have gained passive ability: Wall of the Soul]

[Wall of the Soul: All attacks or manipulation intents aimed at your Divine Sense, or soul, will be blocked and weakened by 99%.]

Task completed, rewards initiated, this time it's a passive ability.

In the Cultivation Realm, this ability is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, in the modern age, this ability seems to be a useless appendage.

Let it just enhance the richness of my resume.

After grabbing the bag, some people needed to use the restroom, and Lin Li had this worldly desire too, so the group headed to the bathroom.

Just as Lin Li walked into the restroom with Chen Tianming, he was pinned against the wall by Chen Tianming in a wall-thud style.

"Practice restraint, don't mess around." After checking each stall to make sure no one was inside, Lin Li said with a face of 'shyness.'

Chen Tianming: "..."

Jesus.

How nauseating.

Then, suppressing his speechlessness, Chen Tianming became excited and shared with Lin Li: "We held hands! We held hands! In the ghost house, I held hands with Yao Qiaoqiao! Roughly estimating, we held hands for at least 0.65 seconds!"

You are indeed rough in your estimates.

"Wow, so it turns out holding a girl's hand is such a magical feeling; at that moment, I felt electrified. Lin Li, do you understand? Between us holding hands... Whoa!" Chen Tianming said while pulling Lin Li's hand, then suddenly let go.

"Why do I also feel electrified when I hold your hand? Do I like you too? Ah... this... no, right? Not good at all~"

This time it was Chen Tianming's turn to feel a bit shy.

Jesus.

How nauseating.

Should've known better than to shock him.

"Forget it, it's not important. Lin Li, I tell you, it's not just holding hands. After Qiaoqiao got scared once, she directly clutched my clothes and hid behind me. It was such a romantic moment, Lin Li, do you understand? I nearly fainted back then..."

Chen Tianming's face turned red as he spoke, increasingly excited.

Lin Li heard this and sneered. He should've understood initially, but now, he doesn't get it at all.

Damn Ding Sihan, return this romance to me.

"Also, did you hear the sound Qiaoqiao made when she got scared? It's way too cute..."

"The bridge effect is really useful, my heart is pounding now. I wonder if Qiaoqiao feels the same as me; I feel like she probably does.

Lin Li, did you notice every time she got scared and I looked at her, she'd shyly turn her head away or directly hide in Fan Rou's embrace? Who understands this level of cuteness... Too adorable...

Playing through the ghost house in advance to familiarize myself with the process is definitely the best decision I made today!"

It's clear that Chen Tianming is indeed extremely excited right now, chattering endlessly.

As for what Chen Tianming was talking about, Lin Li didn't pay attention at all; he was too busy bantering with Chen Yu Ying and the others and eavesdropping on the quarrel between the young couple.

However, Lin Li understood why Chen Tianming could navigate the ghost house effortlessly; he had scouted it out in advance.

That's indeed clever.

"... Lin Li, what do you think is the best thing I should do next?" Chen Tianming finally finished speaking, excitedly rubbing his hands together, prepared to listen for suggestions and iterate his approach.

Lin Li indeed had a suggestion:

"Let's pee first." He said.

Chen Tianming: "..."

It's true, but—

"Don't say such a buzzkill thing at this time!" Chen Tianming complained loudly.

"Fine, you big shot, if you don't want to pee, don't. I need to." Lin Li, who had been up against the wall for a long time, released Chen Tianming's hand and walked to the urinal.

"I'll pee too, I'll pee too."

Lin Li habitually headed to the urinal in the farthest corner.

Then he stared at Chen Tianming, who followed closely to stand beside him.

The unspoken rule of men's restrooms is that when there's plenty of room, everyone should keep a urinal in between. Chen Tianming's behavior seriously invaded Lin Li's airspace.

"C'mon buddy, there's no need to be shy, I haven't finished sharing my thoughts with you!" Apparently, Chen Tianming intended to keep yammering.

"Whatever, just don't get insecure about it later." Lin Li chuckled, pulling down his pants.

"Qiaoqiao, she..." Chen Tianming suddenly fell silent, stopped unbuckling his belt, and quietly moved to the urinal closest to the door, starting to pee in silence.

After a moment of silence, Chen Tianming turned his head reluctantly to Lin Li: "Lin Li, did any of your ancestors work as an agricultural tool? Do you feel an ancestral bloodline suppression when you see a whip?"

Lin Li responded with a snicker.

Damn it.

"Hahaha, damn—"

Already feeling resentful, Chen Tianming heard Lin Li's surprised laughter, turned his head, flushed, and argued: "Lin Li, don't get cocky. You're already seventeen, almost eighteen, an old geezer, stuck like that, but I'm only fifteen, with infinite possibilities! It's your time now, but the future is mine!!"

"The first part is true, but how are you fifteen? Are you using Doraemon's self-deceiving ruler?" Lin Li turned his head, still laughing.

"I was talking about age, damn it!"

But actually, Lin Li wasn't laughing at that.

People laugh when they're speechless, and Lin Li found that he had gained a little more control over his body than he intended.

Hello, you're not allowed to randomly change things here.

Though not yet able to do it on command, there's a tendency for improvement. The negative effects of the increased yang energy are finally somewhat alleviated.

This system is still far too comprehensive.

After finishing in the restroom, the two went to the sink to wash their hands.

After washing his hands, Lin Li patted Chen Tianming's shoulder: "Tianming, you're right, the future might indeed be yours, I believe in you."

Chen Tianming sighed, looking at Lin Li, who after patting his shoulder with one hand, switched to the other hand, and then used his fingers. He asked in confusion:

"Lin Li, isn't there paper on the wall? Why are you wiping your hands on my clothes?"

"Saving paper is everyone's responsibility."

Chen Tianming: "..."

"But since you've figured out my intentions, I won't lie. The future is yours? Ridiculous! No matter how much a little earthworm grows, it won't become a python. Between the two of us, there's reproductive isolation!" Lin Li laughed wickedly.

Chen Tianming wiped his hands on Lin Li's clothes with a dark expression.

...

"Why do you boys take longer in the restroom than girls?" When Lin Li and Chen Tianming came out, Ding Sihan questioned with hands on hips.

"Because I'm a delicate piggy boy, just did a round of health care in the restroom." Lin Li said without any remorse.

Ding Sihan: "..."

Then Ding Sihan pinched her nose and stepped back: "Your skincare products are indeed special. By the way, keep your distance from me from now on."

Lin Li: "?"

Damn.

This round I lost, left a huge hole, need to be careful next time.

And on the side, Chen Tianming, apparently not as shameless as Lin Li, quickly apologized shyly to Yao Qiaoqiao and Fan Rou: "Sorry for making you wait, I apologize."

Ding Sihan's gaze swept to Lin Li: Look at him.

"It's alright." Yao Qiaoqiao immediately said.

Lin Li's gaze swept to Ding Sihan: Look at her.

"What's there to apologize for such a small thing."

Lin Li swept another glance at Ding Sihan: Look again.

"You've been waiting for me all day, it's good to have a chance to wait for you now."

Lin Li kept sweeping his gaze at Ding Sihan, his eyes almost sparking: Look more!

Ding Sihan: "..."

How audacious!

She suddenly somewhat believed Lin Li and Chen Yu Ying's sixth sense—Yao Qiaoqiao is not a good person! Such a gentle girl shouldn't exist in this world!

"Lin Li, what are you planning to play next?" Yao Qiaoqiao suddenly asked Lin Li.

"We might need to find our classmates first." This time Lin Li didn't ask Chen Yu Ying and the others, but answered himself.

"Oh, then I guess we can't play together." Yao Qiaoqiao nodded.

Thus, the two groups parted ways in front of Tianshan Hospital.

"Who are we going to find?" Qu Wanqiu asked blankly.

"Little bird, your emotional intelligence isn't great. This is my preemptive excuse to stop her from joining us." Lin Li laughed, "You three probably don't want to join them, and Tianming definitely doesn't want one lightbulb to turn into five."

"Class monitor, what do you say? The time is about right. Want to ride the Ferris wheel? I'll go with you no matter what. Just remind me to get a small badge before the park closes." Lin Li looked at Chen Yu Ying.

The task is complete, the remaining time can be spent having fun, though there's not much left.

Chen Yu Ying nodded at his words: "Let's go to the Ferris wheel."
