The Most Random System

Awkward silence.

I suddenly crave for ice-cold watermelon and begin tossing watermelons into the well. Oh, but only the ones that aren't heavy.

Zoo exit.

Lin Li's advanced notice seems to have worked. Bai Bufan wasn't asked for ID while leaving the zoo, and there was no property dispute.

"Hello, could you give us your feedback on Shanting Zoo? Whether it's shortcomings or strengths, or any suggestions, we'd love to hear them." Several staff members, holding tablets, were questioning each leaving visitor.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan exchanged glances and immediately approached the nearest staff member: "We do, mate, yes we do."

Staff member: "?"

"Could you please elaborate?" he asked.

"We have both shortcomings and suggestions."

"Alright, I'm all ears." The staff member, hearing this, quickly went into listening mode.

"Shanting Zoo is actually nice, not as bad as online folks say. But I have a suggestion: you could launch an 'All-you-can-eat with cows' event to attract visitors." Lin Li said enthusiastically.

Staff member: "… But we're a zoo, not a restaurant."

"No, you misunderstood. I mean, since your cows are quite docile, why not let visitors pay a small fee to enter the cow area and eat grass together with them? Grass is limitless, and there's little cost but lots of buzz, don't you think?"

Staff member: "?"

Is 'with cows' not a noun, but a compound of a conjunction and an object?

"This buzz might really work... In this era of flow-driven businesses, it could indeed draw some attention. I'll summarize it and report." The staff member considered seriously upon hearing this.

You can teach a child, after all.

"Me, me, I also have a suggestion: why don't you find a dragon, I'm sure visitors will flood in." Bai Bufan, not willing to lag behind, quickly said.

"Dragons? They're nonexistent; we can't possibly manage that..." The staff member replied awkwardly.

"There are dragons in this world. When I stay at home for ten minutes in my room, my mom asks if I'm a dragon because I can't hear her asking me to hang clothes. Turns out if you stay home for ten minutes, you might evolve into a dragon. You guys should train one and keep it according to my thought,"

Bai Bufan gestured with his finger and then told the staff member about his impressive discovery that might shake the biology world.

Staff member: "..."

"Thank you for your suggestions, the exit is this way, have a nice day." The staff member maintained a friendly smile, pointing towards the exit, polite and sincere.

However, the two forced a camaraderie on him, clearly having much more to say:

"Suggestions are done, now about shortcomings that you should improve."

"The exit is this way, please have a nice day."

"Your ticket resale isn't available, I can't purchase any second-hand tickets from your retriever either."

"The exit is this way, please quickly leave."

"Your keeper didn't let me touch the tiger's balls, I really want to, could you relay this suggestion?"

"Please, I beg you, just leave."

The staff member sighed.

Apparently, today is not a good day to be out without checking the lunar calendar.

...

After tormenting the staff, the five of them grabbed dinner nearby.

Later, they went to Shanting District to buy some things that could count as local specialties, rare to find in Xiling.

"Today's ending, going home tomorrow, school the day after, life is so fleeting, why did my National Day holiday fly by so fast?" Ding Sihan lamented.

"Indeed, I still want to hang out with everyone," Qu Wanqiu nodded.

Today is already the fifth; they need to be at school by the night of the seventh for evening self-study. Sending everyone home again on the seventh isn't realistic, especially when Bai Bufan hasn't started his holiday homework at all. Even copying wouldn't be possible in one evening.

As everyone knows, English is a subject with incomprehensible copied answers, while Chinese is a subject where one doesn't want to copy after seeing the answers.

So playing for four days is truly the limit.

"There's no banquet that doesn't break up, but if you're treating, I can stay longer." Lin Li said after hearing that.

"Lin Li, 'I still want to play with everyone', the focus is 'play', not 'everyone', especially you, Lin Li, you go away." Qu Wanqiu smiled and turned back.

"Nice, the aggression level is rising, you can teach a child." Lin Li nodded with satisfaction, not feeling offended at all.

"Next long holiday that allows going far won't be until the winter holidays for New Year, that's so far," Qu Wanqiu expressed her sentiment after speaking against her will.

Going out with this group of people was really fun.

Especially since there are now these two jokers added.

"Not bad, there's less than four months left until Liu Dehua thaws, it's quite soon. Come New Year's Eve, I'll find you all to set off fireworks together." Lin Li said lightly, without much of the melancholy feeling

"You three are Xiling People, it's convenient to hang out then. Bai Bufan and I are too far from you all," Qu Wanqiu said with emotion, "We can't always rely on Ying Bao to send a car to pick us up, can we? That would be too troublesome."

"No problem at all, just taking a car," Chen Yu Ying, who intended to say this at the beginning of the sentence, added.

"Leave it to me then," Lin Li patted his chest and said loudly, "If all goes well, by then, I should have passed and got my driver's license. During the holidays when my mom is at home, I'll steal her car, perfect."

"Really?" Bai Bufan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had no qualms about exploiting Lin Li.

Even if it's past midnight, he would dare ask Lin Li to drop him home first, and then make his own way back to Xiling.

"Can you really pass?" Bai Bufan asked doubtfully again.

"For someone who's in the bracket of 272, best show some basic respect to the rank of 51. Speaking at least requires respectful language, not everyone is like you, a slacker whose effort shows little progress."

Lin Li straightened his collar, speaking with arrogant tone.

Bai Bufan: "..."

"You'll be doomed if you fail." Bai Bufan cursed.

"Agreed." Qu Wanqiu nodded along with Ding Sihan.

"It's best to only have age mates in the car, I'd prefer sitting in one driven by you. Keep it up, you must pass by then." Chen Yu Ying also encouraged Lin Li.

"I won't let you down." Lin Li nodded confidently.

With something worth looking forward to, everyone's steps became a bit lighter.

...

The girls accidentally shopped for another two hours before they carried large shopping bags back to the inn.

They were all tired from walking, after all, they'd already spent an afternoon in the zoo, and continued wandering in the evening.

Even Cultivators get a bit worn out, let alone them?

Bai Bufan went to the bathroom first.

Came out.

Lin Li: "Clap clap clap clap! Bufan! Awesome!! Baby is amazing!"

Ding Sihan: "Bai Bufan! Congrats!"

Qu Wanqiu: "To actually go to the bathroom on schedule! How impressive."

Chen Yu Ying: "So good! Very impressive."

Bai Bufan: "?"

"Wait, what are you all doing?" Bai Bufan's Adam's apple moved, standing at the bathroom door, afraid to step out.

The girls shifted their gaze to Lin Li.

Immediately spotting the culprit.

Facing Bai Bufan's doubting look, Lin Li shrugged: "I fulfilled your little wish."

"What little wis—wait a moment." Bai Bufan squinted, he seemed to remember.

Setting aside the nature of insult, being a dog isn't bad at all, carefree, going to the bathroom to poop on schedule and being praised as 'baby is great', I envy

This was the original sentence he said to Lin Li earlier in the zoo.

Bai Bufan: "..."

Grass.

Bai Bufan gradually comprehended everything.

Did this guy just tell the girls while he was in the bathroom, and they cooperated with him?

Bai Bufan found it hard to respond, not knowing what to say.

Lin Li keenly remembered such a sentence, it's heartwarming but the method of fulfilling the wish seemed a bit off.

I envy getting simple praise! Pooping was just an example!

"Thanks, but no need to do this next time." Lin Li had good intentions but next time, better not start, Bai Bufan had to swallow all those foul words.

Wait a second.

Didn't Lin Li say something about not leaving the insult nature behind?

Bai Bufan raised his head, squinted: "Hold on, I'd like to withdraw my thanks first."

"Lin Li, I need confirmation, did you mean to insult me just now?"

"What else?" Lin Li looked puzzled, wondering why Bai Bufan would ask such a question.

Then rolled away from the incoming slipper.

"So the starting point was bad too!"

"Grass!"
