The Most Random System

If you can't fit into a circle, don't force it.

Of course, if you have to squeeze yourself in, well, tough luck; even a garlic clove can blend into an orange.

Xue Jian is like a great chasm, keeping Lin Li and Bai Bufan separated as if by life and death, making father and son part ways.

As to who is the father and who is the son, each has their own answer in mind.

"Teacher, why don't you sit in my seat? Just now Yongfei needed to talk to me about something, so I'll go chat with him," Zhou Baowei said, standing up.

Everyone at the table widened their eyes.

This guy's about to abandon them to survive on his own!

After the surprise came regret, why didn't they think of it themselves? Alas, there's room for only one crab-eater.

Now that Xue Jian is right there, all they can do is clench their fists to express their anger, not daring to say a word to stop him.

But this time, they really misunderstood Zhou Baowei.

He simply feared that with Xue Jian joining their table, there wouldn't be enough food.

Calculating it out, the students at the next table seem to have smaller appetites, and fewer people means more food to eat!

This is purely the cunning of a foodie.

"Alright, everyone, let's start eating," Xue Jian accepted Bao Wei's suggestion, sat down, and glanced over the most dangerous students at the table, nodding in satisfaction.

He felt reassured gazing at this group.

Thus.

Although they occupy the same space, the joys and sorrows of people do not connect.

"Damn, today was... so damn fun..."

"Awesome, by the way, XXX, fill up your dad's drink..."

"What are your plans for tonight?"

"Whatever."

These were the conversations from the other tables, and Lin Li just found them noisy.

Old Kong had said, speaking during meals is impolite, and this group of people had no manners.

Unlike his table, which was quite quiet, the occasional conversations were quite refined:

"Bufan, could you pass me the napkins, please?"

"Of course, I'd be delighted."

"Thank you."

"No problem, it's my pleasure."

Just look at how Xue Jian has driven everyone to this point.

Those words they're speaking, are they even human?

It can only be said that Xue Jian, this stern, middle-aged Old Deng, exerts too much pressure; only Lin Li, who was used to being scolded, had brushed off most of his fear.

The atmosphere at the table was increasingly unbearable for Lin Li, so his face turned cold as he decided to take revenge on Xue Jian.

Being a Cultivator, Lin Li had plenty of tactics up his sleeve.

...

Xue Jian's chopsticks were suspended in mid-air before retracting.

Was it his imagination?

Why was it that every time he wanted to pick up a dish, someone would turn the table?

...

"When the leader picks up a dish, I turn the table; when the leader opens the door, I get in the car; when the leader toasts, I don't drink; when the leader walks, I sit in a car."

"When the leader talks, I chat; when the leader's lover appears, I fool around; when the leader drinks water, I brake; when the leader grabs the mic, I change the song."

Humming the Song of Promotion Skills, Lin Li was in a good mood, priding himself as a promotion master, holding the most powerful tool for climbing up the ladder.

Lin Li's methods were indeed effective, and they would have been more so if Bai Bufan hadn't carelessly said, 'Lin Li, why are you so sneakily turning the table?' and if Xue Jian hadn't overheard it.

An act of punishment is akin to love, and scolding is a form of affection.

Xue Jian's love ran deep, and Lin Li later repaid Bai Bufan with a round of affectionate revenge.

Lin Li stood at the entrance of the restaurant, leaning against the wall, observing the passersby.

He ate rather quickly, and since dining with Xue Jian wasn't comfortable, he finished quickly and came out first. Most people were still dining leisurely.

The evening plan was to head to a bustling commercial area in Pingjiang City for everyone to roam around freely.

Though not out of the province, it was still a seven or eight-hour round trip tour, and surely some would want to buy something.

Moreover, checking out the commercial areas in the big city was rather nice.

These are things one wouldn't see in Xiling Town.

"Class president, why are you getting off the bus now?" Lin Li curiously asked upon noticing Chen Yu Ying alighting the bus.

"Forgot my lip gloss; I need to reapply after eating," Chen Yu Ying explained, waving the lip gloss in her hand.

"I see—" Lin Li started to continue the chat but suddenly, his expression changed, turning serious in an instant.

Emergency situation! Critical event! Must act quickly!

He picked up his phone and started typing furiously; if Bai Bufan didn't reply within three seconds, Lin Li would call.

Fortunately, Bai Bufan promptly replied with a '1.'

Lin Li resumed his concentration, poised to prevent any unexpected incidents.

"What happened?" Chen Yu Ying asked, puzzled and somewhat tense.

"Look over there, class president," Lin Li prompted.

Chen Yu Ying glanced over, but there seemed to be nothing noteworthy.

By this point, hurried footsteps approached behind them.

Lin Li turned around, noticing most from his table were rushing out, and upon seeing Lin Li, Bai Bufan urgently whispered, "Where?!"

"Ten o'clock direction, pretend to chat, don't overdo it!"

"The sun is really nice tonight."

"Yeah, yeah, the sunset looks great too."

The target of Lin Li and his friends' surveillance noticed the sudden crowd of students at the restaurant entrance but didn't think much of it, continuing to walk forward after a glance.

And as she passed the restaurant entrance, turning her back to everyone.

Everyone stood straighter than during military training, standing at attention and turning right, beginning a silent salute.

Nobody even blinked until the target turned the corner and completely disappeared from sight.

"Salute over."

After Lin Li gave the command, everyone relaxed their posture slightly and expressed their admiration:

"What legs, could admire for years."

"Indeed, want to lick them."

"Worth the trip."

"The big city lives up to its name; those legs are truly city-level."

"Today's grudge of you hitting me is forgotten," Bai Bufan rubbed his dry eyes, happily patting Lin Li on the shoulder.

Lin Li had just sent Bai Bufan a six-character message without punctuation — "Legs at the door, come quick."

As for why the whole group came, that's how it is among buddies; news spreads quickly.

"I haven't finished eating, going back to continue. Lin Li, you keep watch, let us know if anything happens," Wang Ze said, oil stains still on the corner of his mouth, as he turned to walk back to the restaurant.

"No problem, it's my duty," Lin Li nodded.

Among brothers, good things are shared.

"What are you guys doing?"

At this moment, Xue Jian walked to the door, finally arriving late, with a wary expression.

Just when I looked down to take a bite, half the table disappeared, almost giving me a fright.

"Admiring the beautiful scenery of the big city of Pingjiang," Lin Li explained.

"Exactly, exactly," everyone nodded.

Xue Jian frowned with confusion. This is just the doorway of a restaurant; all you can see are other shops, what scenery is there to watch?

Luckily, the most trustworthy Chen Yu Ying was here as well.

"Yu Ying, what were they doing just now?" Xue Jian asked.

Under Lin Li's signaling glance, Chen Yu Ying nodded with pursed lips: "They were really watching the scenery."

Xue Jian had no choice but to believe it.

After everyone dispersed, Lin Li alone faced Chen Yu Ying's disdainful gaze.

"You boys really..." Chen Yu Ying didn't know how to evaluate them for a moment.

"It's not lustful; it's just that I came when the flowers were in full bloom. Not appreciating it would make me seem insensitive," Lin Li explained earnestly, while eyeing Chen Yu Ying's legs.

Chen Yu Ying: "..."

So now, are you also being sensitive?

As they were going to the amusement park today, for convenience and looks, the girl wore loose straight jeans, hiding her beautiful leg curves, making Lin Li feel a bit regretful, while Chen Yu Ying was relieved to have dodged a bullet.

If she had worn high heels and a short skirt like the woman who just passed by, the class president would definitely look even better.

"Class president, regarding legs, I have a few..." Lin Li thought and decided to share his insight.

"Pervert!"

Chen Yu Ying blushed and scolded softly, then ran back with her lip gloss before Lin Li could ask for a rename.

The class president abandoned a road to greatness.

No worries, I'll persuade her more in the future; there's still a chance.

With only himself left at the doorway, Lin Li continued to efficiently use his eyes that were adept at finding beauty in life.

[Task Two is now complete.]

[You have received a reward: Title: Light of Xiling; Random Ability*1; Low Grade Spirit Stone*5; System Currency*200.]

Lin Li, who had been lazily watching the people on the road, became serious again upon seeing the message suddenly pop up before him.

His task two was to assist the Demon Suppression Bureau in clearing out three chicken farms.

Without the prerequisite of entering the situation himself, obtaining and providing accurate chicken farm information to the Demon Suppression Bureau also counted as deep cooperation, and now that the task is complete, it means the Xiling Demon Suppression Bureau has successfully initiated and carried out another demon elimination operation.

…

Xiling Three Bridges.

"Finally, finished another file. How are those three places on your end?" It was five o'clock on Friday, but visibly, it would be impossible to get off work before ten. After sorting the documents, Yangliang stood up, rubbed his waist, and paced back and forth in the office, asking colleagues around his workstation.

"There's still a ton to review and question. Too many arrested," the colleague sighed and then noticed Yangliang's phone lighting up, reminding, "Yangliang, someone sent you a message."

"Who?"

"The note says Lin Li, parenthesis poor kid, parenthesis bad company. It says, Uncle, hard work," the colleague glanced and read aloud.

Yangliang: "?"

It's over, it's over, it's all over.

Yangliang had a bad feeling that he might have to sleep over at the office today.

…

"Yangliang: ?"

"Yangliang: Xiaolin, didn't you go to the Pingjiang City District? You didn't make new friends again, did you?"

"Yangliang: I can't help with that area, I don't even know anyone there, this time Uncle can't help you."

Yangliang replied quickly this time and seemed to have developed Lin Li PTSD.

Probably should be considered an occupational injury.

"Lin Li: No, no, no, I'm being very well-behaved in Pingjiang. Just found that the Xiling chicken farm map from last time was incomplete when sorting through phone files earlier, missed two; here's a supplement. [File]."

This was last time's backup intelligence for just-in-case scenarios.

Now that the task is complete, it's no longer needed and can be provided to the Demon Suppression Bureau.

It took a long time to receive a reply this time.

"Yangliang: Thank you."

And then after a very long time.

"Yangliang: Any new ones, why not send them all at once?"

And then after a very, very long time.

"Yangliang: Really, really, really no more? Uncle's heart isn't very good; sometimes he can't handle the shock."
