The Most Random System

This is something I should do.

After finishing the conversation with Yangliang, Lin Li started checking the rewards for completing the task.

[You have acquired an active ability: Healing.]

[Healing: Upon activation, your hand will gain healing abilities for one minute. It will heal injuries to a certain extent within ten seconds, based on your current power and skills, limited to one area at a time. You cannot heal the same injury multiple times during a single use.

This ability enters a 24-hour cooldown after use.]

Healing ability, huh? It seems quite impressive.

In modern conditions, it's definitely much better than the Wall of the Soul.

Lin Li rolled up his pant leg, and the knee and surrounding area showed several new or old bruises.

If asked how he got these injuries, Lin Li himself wouldn't know.

A taller person sometimes leaves a bruise just by bouncing their leg in the classroom.

This is not an accumulative ability; it shows that I can use it right now, so Lin Li decided to experiment immediately.

He took a photo of the original injury, then used [Charge] and placed his right hand over the knee bruise to use [Healing].

No abnormality appeared on the hand, not even a green glow, but a cool and refreshing sensation spread through his knee.

The ten-second duration passed quickly, and Lin Li immediately removed his hand to continue healing another area, comparing with the photo on his left hand mobile.

The bruise faded quite a bit, but that was all; it didn't even disappear.

And this was using [Charge], resulting in double the healing effect.

Lin Li wasn't surprised or disappointed with this result, as the ability description stated that the healing result depends on individual power and ability.

Lin Li even considered the worst-case scenario—that his power and ability wouldn't achieve any healing at all.

Now that actual healing occurred, Lin Li was quite pleased.

The minute quickly elapsed, and after moving his right hand to various 'positions,' both of Lin Li's knees were significantly better off than before; areas that were already starting to clear up completely restored to their original skin color.

If only it were possible to heal one spot six times in one minute, that would be better.

He finished testing the ability and looked at the additional title he acquired.

[Light of Xiling: When equipped, you will emit an aura of righteousness, enhancing cultivation speed by 50% when practicing proper techniques, reducing speed by 50% when practicing improper techniques, and inspiring subconscious fear in evil beings.]

Equipping it didn't produce any immediate feeling, as its effects are only visible during practice.

His Body Refining Eighth Rank Technique and Qingzheng Thunder Control Technique should both count as proper cultivation techniques, right?

If the cultivation speed can be increased by 50%, it would still be very useful.

Wait, it's not without changes.

Lin Li squinted.

He walked to the corner of the restaurant entrance.

"Damn!"

"The light of righteousness should be a concept term, not actual light!"

Lin Li found that after equipping this title, his whole body was emitting righteous light—physically speaking.

Like he's drunk too much nuclear waste water.

Now it's clear, the debuff of this title isn't that cultivation speed for improper techniques decreases by 50%, but instead, the body emits light while worn.

But thankfully, the light is quite faint, like a glow stick used for a while, and in anything other than a pitch-black environment, the naked eye can't immediately discern it.

Lin Li confirmed this only when he reached the corner; in daylight, it would be even less noticeable.

For safety reasons, Lin Li still switched the title to [Blood Crow Assassin]—there were mosquitoes outside the restaurant.

Got seven Spirit Stones in the pocket, the wealthiest he's ever been.

After the autumn trip, he can afford to be a bit 'extravagant.'

[System Currency: 950 (1050)]

After the 200 system currency reward for this task arrived, the accumulated system currency Lin Li received exceeded a thousand.

[Shop] unlocked a new product slot.

He clicked open the shop.

[Random Quality Spirit Stone: 20 system currency (Limited to 1 per day) (Sold Out Today)]

[Breakthrough Talisman: 50 system currency (Limited to 1 per day)]

[Unlock Refreshable Product Slot 3 requires 1500 accumulated system currency (1050/1500)]

[Unlock Refreshable Product Slot 4 requires 2100 accumulated system currency (1050/2100)]

"Breakthrough Talisman?"

Lin Li checked the product description.

[Breakthrough Talisman: Use by blood drop and attachment to the body, it breaks physical limitations in all aspects and performances far beyond normal within ten minutes, followed by ten to twenty minutes of extreme fatigue.

This talisman cannot be used simultaneously with another; using it within a three-day interval may cause additional damage and burden to the body.]

Just as the name suggests, upon use, the talisman allows breakthroughs beyond the physical limits in all aspects.

In the short term, it seems there isn't any need for such a thing, using it to boost potential during exams? That would be too wasteful.

Nonetheless, Lin Li purchased one.

He manifested it—a brown talisman paper with incomprehensible markings, overall smaller than a palm.

Buy two or three to keep as spares; those damn limited supply words always have their charm.

However, what left Lin Li a bit disappointed was that, like slot 1, the [Free Refresh] button for slot 2 was also dimmed.

Are the free refresh chances from the system update shared among all slots?

That's just too stingy.

Spending 100 system currency to refresh once, Lin Li really couldn't bring himself to do it.

Let's wait until Monday and see, Lin Li thought that his system might update on Monday again.

After settling the rewards, Lin Li continued to look around, squinting his eyes, and sent a message to Bai Bufan again.

"We've got milk, come quick!"

"Where, where, where?" Bai Bufan and the gang quickly rushed over.

"Over there."

Bai Bufan squinted his eyes, then rubbed them, and finally widened them, staring straight at Lin Li: "This milk... is it the grandma's milk?"

"Yep."

Bai Bufan: "?"

So everyone stared at Lin Li.

"You're really spending our trust like this, Lin Li, haven't you heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?" Wang Ze questioned.

"Let's go, that grandma has too many things, she's been standing there for a long time without crossing the street, let's go help." Lin Li chose to ignore it and walked over first, "We should do more good deeds, that way we can tell more hell jokes."

Bai Bufan and the others gave Lin Li's back the finger, then followed.

"Oh, right, Bai Bufan, don't start with old stuff in zero frames again later..."

"Let bygones be bygones!"

Without the always-late Xue Jian this time, when they reached the restaurant entrance, he unexpectedly saw his students helping the elderly.

Tears welled up and he heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, when he saw the old lady put her hand on Lin Li's hand, Xue Jian instinctively thought Lin Li's next move would be to flip onto the old lady.

Guess he had too many stereotypes.

...

After dinner, the bus dropped everyone off at the downtown area of Pingjiang City.

"Next is your free activity time, you have about two hours, we'll meet back here at nine-thirty to return to the hotel. You can shop here, stroll around, whatever you want.

But no one is allowed to act alone, you must pair up, if your phone runs out of battery, the teacher has a power bank, you can borrow it to charge."

Upon reaching their destination, Xue Jian emphasized to everyone.

"Sigh, I can only hang out with you two again, how unlucky." After getting off the bus, Lin Li looked at Zhou Baowei and Bai Bufan beside him and sighed deeply.

"You can't even keep that to yourself, huh?" Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei rolled their eyes, "You go ahead, go find the class monitor, the two of us can get along just fine without you."

"Just kidding. Brothers are always my priority." Lin Li said sincerely.

Chen Yu Ying and her dorm planned to go shopping in Pingjiang with all six of them, Lin Li naturally would not join.

It would be awkward and he might accidentally become the bag holder.

Had to reluctantly stick with Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei.

Bai Bufan chuckled after hearing that: "Alright, Lin Li, let me ask you, suppose you just won two million in the lottery, but your good brother Zhou Baowei needs a hundred thousand for treatment because of a serious illness... Actually, a hundred thousand is too easy, let's make it needing a hundred for treatment, what would you have left?"

Zhou Baowei: "..."

Lin Li chuckled too, and retorted to Bai Bufan: "Before I answer, tell me your answer."

"I'd have one million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and fifty left, and a lavish funeral costing fifty." Bai Bufan scratched his head.

"You'd rather spend fifty on my funeral than spend a hundred on my treatment, right! Bai Bufan!" Zhou Baowei's fists clenched.

"Fifty is really the limit, bro, I just can't spare more." Bai Bufan expressed his helplessness.

"Change it back to needing a hundred thousand, give me some face." Zhou Baowei sighed deeply.

"Alright, so Baowei has a little illness costing a hundred thousand, now Lin Li! Tell me your answer." Bai Bufan looked at Lin Li.

But actually, Bai Bufan already knew the answer in his heart, who would hesitate at that?

A true brother shouldn't fall ill at times like these.

Getting sick at such a time without discussing it with anyone, not considering others, how can they even call themselves a brother?

"Let me calculate." Lin Li started fiddling with his fingers.

"You need to calculate this?" Bai Bufan was a bit puzzled.

"Probably about four million left and a corpse without organs that had a ghost marriage for good luck, you remember to lend me the fifty-buck coffin you bought, so I don't need to buy one." Lin Li calculated and came to a conclusion, "So, more or less this number."

Bai Bufan's face froze, his opened mouth couldn't closed.

Sorry.

He shouldn't have assumed he knew what Lin Li's answer would be.

He was ridiculously off.

Satan should really tattoo Lin Li on his back.

"You're really getting all the use out of me, huh! Even squeezing out every bit of value left in my body, a ghost marriage, you can even think of making money from that! Are you still human?" The involved Zhou Baowei grabbed Lin Li's collar and started shaking him crazily.

The two of them got into a playful scuffle, becoming life-and-death buddies — trying to slit each other's throat.

"Damn, just lost two million." On the side, Bai Bufan watched, patting his leg in frustration.
