The Most Random System

Lin Li's cheering voice startled a few guys next to him who were browsing technology.

But very quickly.

"Are you really a number one? Let's exchange WeChat, we can chat more in the future." A guy got up, leaned over, and asked Lin Li hopefully.

Lin Li: "?"

"Don't mess with me, bro."

"I know, if anyone's messing, it's you messing with me."

Though this conversation had happened with Bai Bufan before, Lin Li couldn't find it funny at all.

"Just joking, bro, sorry sorry, I'm not into guys..." Lin Li immediately stepped back, sincerely apologizing.

Even though he liked joking about being gay, jokes aside, he'd rather take a knife to the back than deal with that drama.

It's fine for shields to clash, but spears against spears cause damage, so when encountering a real gay person in reality, Lin Li ran faster than anyone.

"Alright, nevermind, if you ever change your mind, feel free to find me." The guy still left Lin Li an option or rather a back door.

Lin Li smoothed the goosebumps on his arms.

"It's nothing, he won't do anything to you, who told you to call yourself number one."

"But that's not important now, let's go again, this time I'll call it." Zhai Kai tapped the table with a bit of schadenfreude, and his gaze at Lin Li was somewhat unfriendly.

"Alright."

Normally, having won once, Lin Li would act cocky.

But Zhai Kai's muscles clearly told Lin Li this wasn't a normal situation, so Lin Li nodded and sat down again.

"Bro, can we set a rule that the one whose hand gets pressed down is the winner?" Lin Li asked before starting.

If the sparring rules could be set by himself, would the system agree?

"Huh? Why? No need, just do it normally." Zhai Kai frowned and then shook his head.

It was clear that he just wanted to save face, so Lin Li said no more and focused on his arm.

If he lost, so be it; if he won, it would be a chance to see if he could complete two tasks with the same person.

"Three, two, one, start!"

Zhai Kai widened his eyes because he found out that his and Lin Li's hands were completely stuck at a forty-five-degree angle, not flipping over as he expected to pin Lin Li's hand to the table.

And the stalemate only lasted a moment because neither the angle nor his body posture allowed for much strength exertion; when the explosive force disappeared, Zhai Kai could only watch his hand rapidly press downward, touching the table.

His opponent didn't cheat this time, but he still lost.

Lin Li felt a bit regretful because no new task was completed; it seemed one person could only accomplish it once.

But fortunately, there were plenty of people in the gym.

"I'm still the champion! Next, please!!" Lin Li stood up and continued his cheer.

The purpose of his loud shouting just now was to attract more people's attention here.

Plus, arm wrestling was something that attracted some attention in small circles, and quite a few people were already curious and turned their gaze here; hearing Lin Li's voice, they came over.

"Wait a minute, again." Zhai Kai couldn't sit still anymore, this time his unfriendly expression was gone, left with a bit of embarrassment; he got up and pressed on Lin Li's shoulder, pushing him down.

Then he first squeezed Lin Li's right hand, especially the forearm muscle, then pinched the bicep, looking astonished and puzzled: "Bro, how exactly are you producing that strength, is your hand solid?"

No numerical value at all, where's this strength coming from?

Using some enhancement?

Then Zhai Kai continued:

"I let my guard down just now, let's have a fair one this time, I'm a bit curious if your strength is really greater than mine."

By this time, some other fitness enthusiasts nearby also gathered around.

"Three, two, one, go!"

When they saw the two hands stalling in the middle, the onlooking muscular guys widened their eyes.

Zhai Kai's arm girth was almost three times as that of Lin Li, who they perceived as a skinny stick, yet the two were in a stalemate; this scene was incredibly incongruent, not following the basic rules at all.

Was it a show match?

Lin Li was also somewhat surprised by this result; doubling his power, his right arm could already reach such a level.

—He didn't need to double to even the play, Lin Li could totally win.

Lin Li hadn't even reached his limit yet.

Furthermore, the endurance enhancement brought by Qi Blood had been Lin Li's biggest change over the past month, and the power increase was just a subtle effect of everyday training and the nourishment from Spiritual Qi.

To know, Lin Li over these months had only been training an hour every morning; apart from refining the Spiritual Qi from items like "duck blood bottles" and "famous sword", he used maybe a few dozen inferior Spirit Stones on himself.

Being able to win doesn't mean needing to win.

Winning didn't provide any reward, and if Zhai Kai's size lost, others watching might not dare to compete with him.

"Ah!!!"

So Lin Li, while faking a 'power exertion', watched his hand get pressed to the table, expressing deep regret.

Just the self-discipline of being an actor.

"Bro, you're still strong." Lin Li shook his 'fatigued' hand and praised Zhai Kai.

"You're the real deal, truly," face saved, Zhai Kai relaxed, chuckling and shaking his head, eyes on Lin Li's hand: "Your strength is genuinely surprising, especially compared with your physique, hard to imagine."

"Really, Brother Kai, you didn't hold back, did you?" The onlookers around were starting to get suspicious.

"Try it yourself if you don't believe." Zhai Kai stood and vacated the seat opposite Lin Li.

He now needed others to acknowledge Lin Li's strength, otherwise, however he described it, they wouldn't fully believe.

"Let me try then." Zhai Kai's words had an instant effect, and the next person sat down immediately.

With significantly less strength than Zhai Kai, Lin Li could win quite easily, but still purposefully struggled a bit before winning.

Thus, after his opponent lost, the next challenger took over immediately.

...

As one loser after another stepped down, people realized, Lin Li was a powerful individual with a small frame yet an impressive amount of strength.

"What are you all doing?" A voice came from behind as the crowd split, revealing a guy possibly even a tad bigger than Zhai Kai, donning a thin jacket, likely just entering the gym, and a regular.

Scratching powder on his back, he still had to behave.

"Brother Zhu is here, we're arm wrestling, testing strength; this kid, his build is slim but his strength is incredible, unbeatable, if he bulked up, unimaginable..." someone immediately introduced.

"Then I'll give it a try as well?" Brother Zhu seemed intrigued at these words and put down his backpack.

"Bro, is his strength greater than yours?" Lin Li asked Zhai Kai in a low voice.

"About the same." Zhai Kai saved some face.

"Then just use that move." Lin Li squinted and smiled at the burly figure sitting across him, in the middle of taking off his jacket: "Bro, I'll say when to start."

"Okay." Brother Zhu nodded.

Zhai Kai also grinned.

And showed no intention of warning.

They say having been through storms, one wishes to witness others soaking wet.

...

"Three—start!"

[Seek out accomplished body cultivators for related sparring, and achieve victory or recognition (10/10)]

[Task two completed.]

"We're the champions! Bro! We're the champions!" The person in front became the last one for the task; Lin Li stood up with tears of joy, hugged, and patted Zhai Kai's back, helping scratch his itchy spots.

As for Brother Zhu, he silently stared at his unresponsive hand, mouth corners twitching: "..."

Damnit.

He looked up at the excited Lin Li and Zhai Kai.

Lin Li was a new face so it was hard to judge; this kid definitely seemed a bit sick, didn't look like acting.

Zhai Kai, what the hell are you doing?

Did your protein shake today contain no protein, just regular powder? You drinking too much condensed milk? What's got you so excited?

The onlookers, seeing this for the first time, finally realized that Lin Li wasn't just a strong person with a small frame and an impressive amount of strength.

Lin Li was a small-framed but mighty, incredibly powerful sword tomb warrior.
