The Most Random System

But since there are people with supernatural abilities, who knows if something unexpected might happen, we can't be careless.

Therefore, entering completely unfamiliar shelters, a place they know but we don't at all, the risk is really too great.

Lin Li would never reveal to Ye Jing that the point he appears in this world each time is the same as when he left last time.

At the very least, he should wait until he's more familiar with it, otherwise, there are too many ways to freak himself out.

For example, building a 'prison' directly around him.

Moreover, Lin Li isn't clear what will happen if there's something at the location he left last time when he returns, it couldn't possibly embed directly into his body, right?

Lin Li continued:

"My plan is this, we can first go to the vicinity of your shelter, and then I'll designate a nearby place for you to bring out the gold.

Then tell me what materials you currently need the most, because I can't bring too many things at once, and I can only bring what I can legally purchase in my world."

"Okay, time is of the essence, shall we head out now?" Ye Jing said.

She really didn't want to wait for even a moment.

"No problem, just point me in a direction, an hour's walk should be just right for me," Lin Li nodded, still having more than half an hour of his hand-in-hand shopping mission with Beauty Lady left—everywhere is a street, he can walk anywhere.

"The direction is roughly this way, shall I guide you specifically from the side?" Ye Jing pointed southwest, saying to Lin Li.

"Sure." Lin Li replied, then opened the snakeskin bag and took out one of Beauty Lady's hands to hold.

Ye Jing's gaze locked onto Beauty Lady's arm, taking in the white lace gloves and black lace sleeves.

Then her gaze naturally shifted into the snakeskin bag.

Only to see:

Beauty Lady was wearing layers upon layers of strange clothing, left leg in black lace, right leg in white—if she were a normal human, it might be quite pretty.

But she wasn't.

Even the strongest heart would shrink at this moment, Ye Jing's pupils were shaking.

She reflexively glanced at Lin Li, then quickly turned her eyes away, pretending nothing happened.

Different world, terrifying indeed.

Lin Li: "?"

Lin Li touched his nose, a bit awkward yet amused as he slowly spoke:

"Ye Jing, if I say this really isn't my fetish, would you believe me?"

"Mm."

"You 'mm' but at least look at me while 'mm'ing…" Lin Li said, half crying, half laughing.

...

[A deep kiss on Beauty Lady's forehead... (3/4)]

After revisiting the previous shopping routine, after more than half an hour later had passed, Lin Li saw the system's notification.

OK, so next up there's only the small task of cooking, Lin Li tossed Beauty Lady's hand back into the snakeskin bag.

He pulled out a rib, scraped it with a fruit knife until a fly would slip off, a point where Bai Bufan would shake his head after seeing, then began madly wrapping it with cling film.

After completing these preparations, Lin Li stopped.

Because the system task required making a dinner, it emphasized dinner, but currently, in this world, it's not even noon yet.

"Lin Li, I can already see people from our shelter sent out to gather materials."

After walking for a while, Ye Jing, who was leading the way ahead, suddenly stopped jumping, turned back, and said to Lin Li.

But her eyes mainly rested on those few zombies following Lin Li, performing stopping challenges.

Bringing them over would surely cause a commotion.

"Okay." Lin Li nodded, then looked around, pointed at one of the relatively tall buildings nearby, and said:

"I'll wait for you guys in that building, you can come over when you're ready, I'm not in a rush, just come at your own pace."

"Okay, thank you." Ye Jing nodded.

Lin Li then led his fangirls toward the building he had pointed to.

Idle time is wasted time, might as well prepare for the upcoming trade.

...

Although Lin Li said he wasn't in a rush, in less than half an hour, Ye Jing arrived at the destination with her people.

Quite fast.

"Lin Li? Lin Li? Bai Bufan?" Ye Jing called quietly when she couldn't find Lin Li in the building he had designated.

"Oi, I'm right here."

Hearing the voice, Ye Jing looked across the building where Lin Li stood, along with two zombies.

Still in Tao Zhe state.

Ye Jing: "?"

Seeing Ye Jing instinctively hide on the opposite side, Lin Li waved and loudly said: "You should know, in this state, they won't attack anyone, it's fine if they see you, just consider them my hired bodyguards."

This scene was indeed enough for the people from the shelter to tread carefully around him.

"Are you Lin Li?" At this point, two other people appeared next to Ye Jing.

One was a muscular man, though not as built as Zhai Kai, probably could touch his own back.

The other man wasn't as robust, looked a bit older.

"Hello, yes I am, and you are?" Lin Li politely asked.

"I'm Hu Fei, and he's Shi Dongchen, both from the shelter, heard about your situation from Ye Jing, here to trade with you," the muscular man spoke with an awkward pacing, and the man named Shi Dongchen next to him nodded.

"OK," Lin Li nodded, it didn't matter who was up for trading, then extended his hand, "Did you bring the gold?"

Hu Fei took an item from his pocket and threw it toward the building Lin Li was in, and Lin Li caught it securely.

A small gold bar, weighing it in his hand, about twenty to thirty grams, bending it slightly with force, it should be gold.

"You should go to your world, and before night falls, bring back the one hundred packages of chocolate you promised Ye Jing, this value should cover it, we'll wait for you here," Hu Fei said on the other side.

Lin Li, who was originally playing with the gold bar, felt puzzled after hearing this and scratched his head: "Weird."

"What's weird?" Hu Fei asked with a frown, "There's no problem with the gold."

"I said weird, it's you," Lin Li looked up at Hu Fei.

"What about me?"

As everyone knows, Lin Li is the kind of miser who would dust off a single penny before putting it in his pocket.

So, regarding this piece of gold worth thousands, Lin Li wiped it with his bulletproof vest, huffed on it, then tossed it high in the air, and kicked it toward the opposite building.

The kick was a bit amateur, it veered off, hit a wall, and fell to the ground.

"Ding."

Nice sound, it's well-minted gold.

"Why did you do that?" Seeing this, Hu Fei frowned.

Lin Li flipped Hu Fei the bird:

"Did I misunderstand this, am I supposed to be begging you for business? Forget the gold, you can try your luck on your own."

"I'm wondering how someone like you managed to survive in the apocalypse for two years until now?"

Lin Li wanted to spit, even had a sound building up.

Not that manners stopped Lin Li.

Spitting with a helmet on is self-harm.

Lin Li then put his arm around the two Tao Zhe's shoulders and turned to leave.
