The Most Random System

Task completed, Lin Li was quite relieved.

And there wasn't another derivative task popping up with ten times the difficulty.

In fact, Lin Li had even prepared to run around every gym in Xiling today, but it's good that there wasn't, saved a lot of effort.

He refused Brother Zhu's good intention to stay and eat whole wheat wotou, after all, he said there was no wheat and no nest, afraid it might cause trouble if eaten, so Lin Li took off immediately.

Let Brother Zhai eat it.

[You have acquired the active ability "Soul of Martial Combat".]

[You have acquired the derivative ability "Soul of Martial Combat (Passive)"]

Can one ability really derive a new ability? This hadn't happened before, Lin Li curiously checked the details.

[Soul of Martial Combat: Designate a single type of melee weapon, in the next hour, you will master the use of that weapon in melee, cooldown time is 24 hours, during ability activation and cooldown, "Soul of Martial Combat (Passive)" will be inactive.]

[Soul of Martial Combat (Passive): You will adapt more quickly to all melee weapons, and can use them more flexibly in close combat.]

So that's how it is.

This looks way more impressive than [Empty-Handed Blade Catch], even just the passive it derives is enough to crush.

And melee weapons, what's the definition of this stuff?

To determine the definition, Lin Li rode his bike with his eyes on the ground.

Easily, he found a disposable chopstick by the roadside.

Getting a feel, Lin Li's hand naturally held it in a reverse grip, like holding a dagger.

Because Lin Li's mind suddenly felt certain, this was the most suitable stance for exerting force.

He swung the chopstick in front of him a few times, listened to the light whooshing sound, and Lin Li chuckled.

Apparently, chopsticks also fall under the influence of the ability.

It seems that the ability's melee weapon means an extremely broad sense of melee, something like chopsticks that's more suitable to be called a concealed weapon also counts.

After tossing away the chopstick, Lin Li picked up a stone.

This part is quite sharp, convenient for hitting people, and holding it like this seems more fitting...

These guiding pieces of information just appeared in his mind.

Confirmed, as long as you're holding it, it's considered melee.

A rifle equipped with a bayonet would certainly be affected by this ability too.

But both the active and passive aspects of this ability stated that it would only enhance one's melee weapon talent.

That is, if I really got hold of a gun with a bayonet, the information my brain provides can only assist in improving bayonet skills, not shooting or long-range aiming.

But that's enough.

This definitely boosted Lin Li's confidence in exploring 'reality'.

So why not enhance it further.

When selecting to use the "Ability Amplifier", the only available target was the overall Soul of Martial Combat, with no distinction between active and passive.

[You have used the "Ability Amplifier" on "Soul of Martial Combat".]

[Soul of Martial Combat (+1): Designate a single type of melee weapon, for the next two hours, you will master the melee use of that weapon, with one chance to change the designated weapon during the period, cooldown time is 24 hours, during cooldown, "Soul of Martial Combat (Passive)" will be inactive.]

The time was doubled, and there was one more opportunity to change the designated weapon, making it more applicable, while the passive remained unchanged.

Still satisfied.

Too bad there's only one amplifier left.

Heading home, in preparation for a date with the beautiful lady, Lin Li continued to use Spiritual Qi to transform his Purity and Righteousness Thunder-Controlling Body.

Completing the one-month body forging task provided 20 inferior grades, plus a superior one, Lin Li currently lacked nothing in terms of Spiritual Qi.

The maximum amount of electricity his body could store was greatly increased, and the distance for long-distance discharges had already increased to twenty centimeters — it was only ten centimeters in the mountain pavilion days ago, which was a change in just a few days.

He could feel that before long, the Purity and Righteousness Thunder-Controlling Body could enter the next stage.

At that time, there should be another significant growth wave.

If there's another chance, Lin Li will definitely go to Pingjiang, to let that thunder mage know who the real Thunder King is.

"Mom's leaving first, won't be sending you to school."

After dinner, while finishing kitchen clean-up, Wu Min said to Lin Li in the living room.

"Okay, Sister Min, to be honest, I'll really miss you," Lin Li replied tearfully.

While choking up, he took Wu Min's bag from the table, shoved it into her arms, and then pushed Wu Min to the door, opening it while making a 'please leave' gesture.

Wu Min: "..."

Only his mouth would miss her.

After flicking Lin Li's forehead, and organizing her stuff, Wu Min left as well.

"Great, it's freedom!" Lin Li cheered at lightning speed.

The door opened again.

"Too bad, it's loneliness." Lin Li teared up at lightning speed.

Wu Min was used to this, simply gesturing Lin Li to grab something she forgot from her room, and then left for real.

Lin Li wasn't in a hurry to leave immediately, Wu Min might be spying on him, he only left for the station at five thirty, picking up the rest of his deliveries.

There wasn't enough time and no need to unpack, Lin Li went to school for evening self-study.

...

"Konchikuwa, Bao Wei," Lin Li greeted Japanese Zhou Baowei in the hallway when he saw those guys still piling on each other.

Zhou Baowei pretended not to hear.

"Wrong, Lin Li, Bao Wei doesn't understand this anymore, you need to use another one," Wang Ze chuckled upon hearing that.

"Hmm? It's updated again?" Lin Li heard this, looked around to ensure no teachers were around, then took out his phone to check Bao Wei's QQ Space.
