The Most Random System

Lin Li: "..."

Although I know the reason, it still feels a bit excessive, like you're sick of my appearance.

"The exam is about to start. Everyone, put unrelated items on the podium or near the door. If you need to use the restroom, go now. Just a reminder, during the exam, no restroom breaks unless in special cases."

As the test papers were being sorted on the podium, Wang Ziyan spoke loudly to everyone.

Lin Li, with only three pens, stayed still at his seat.

While idly observing his surroundings, he noticed the guy next to him, remembered from glancing at the seating chart that his name was Feng Kai. He carefully took out a note filled with writing from his backpack and placed it in the drawer before handing over his backpack.

Did he do something wrong?

No.

Wang Ziyan said to hand over items unrelated to the exam. If someone prepares a cheat sheet for the exam, then nothing would be unrelated to it.

Lin Li never thought of relying on cheating to complete system tasks, not out of moral integrity, but because it seemed pointless.

Cheat sheets are mostly useful for subjects like humanities. In humanities, [Strong Memory] is already imprinted in my mind.

In sciences, what's the use of a cheat sheet?

Copy formulas?

Is having formulas enough to solve science problems?

This is just like 'this is a black piece, this is a white piece, surround them to capture, here, face your first opponent, Cloud Peak Chess Player Ke Jie,' isn't it?

Besides, Lin Li doesn't like the feeling of sneaking around nervously, unless it's an affair.

[Within the sect, one's true abilities should be revealed through fair competition. Taking shortcuts destroys one's path and may lead to corruption by demons in the future.

As a member of the sect, how can one watch fellow disciples go astray? One must intervene upon seeing cheating.]

[Task Triggered!]

[Task Four: In this sect competition, stop any witnessed acts of cheating.]

[Reward: Physical Improvement: Comprehension increased by 10%; Random System Reward*1; System Currency*100]

[Random System Reward: Open to receive a system-related reward.]

The system can really change a person's standing; ever since Lin Li got the system, he always wanted to steal something.

For example, now, Lin Li wants to steal Feng Kai's cheat sheet.

But it's too late, as the other party has already returned from depositing his backpack. Now, if Lin Li tries to take it, he'll definitely get caught.

Although the other party likely wouldn't dare alert the authorities.

Lin Li glanced at the system again.

This task is easy to understand; it's about transforming into Dragonfly Captain and judging the sins during the exam.

Actually, it's simple to complete. Just stand up and report any cheating you see.

However, Lin Li doesn't want to complete the task in such a way.

Publicly reporting cheating is an act not easily understood by others.

Not only other students, even teachers may find it unnecessary, advising you to focus on yourself and not worry about others, possibly thinking you're just being difficult, earning their disdain.

Even Lin Li himself, upon hearing that someone indiscriminately reports cheating, would consider the person odd and extreme.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Lin Li doesn't want to use such a blunt approach.

The system's not mean enough to make one stop all cheating in the monthly exam, just the part one witnesses and hears is enough. Then, later, if one doesn't see or hear it, it's fine.

But for now, the task's triggered target is certainly the priority.

No big deal, Lin Li has always been a genius.

Now Lin Li has a plan, especially since he knows the invigilating teacher, and knows the not-so-serious Wang Ziyan.

Lin Li stood up and walked towards Wang Ziyan.

"Teacher Yan," Lin Li started.

"Lin Li? What's the matter?" Wang Ziyan asked.

"I want to cheat."

"Then go do it, since the exam hasn't started yet." Wang Ziyan didn't raise his head, just nodded toward the front door, indicating that he could go to the restroom now.

Wait.

Something's wrong.

It seems Lin Li wasn't talking about going to the restroom a moment ago.

"Lin Li, what did you say?" Wang Ziyan lifted his head to confirm.

"I want to cheat." Lin Li repeated.

Wang Ziyan: "..."

You damn brat.

What's the point of saying this to me?

"First of all, cheating is disgraceful, a useless act that violates school rules and holds no meaning for your life. Secondly, what's the purpose of telling me? Do you expect me to cover up or even assist you? Don't even think about it, behave yourself." Wang Ziyan's expression turned a bit stern.

"No, I respect your role as an invigilator, so I'm simply provoking you." Lin Li shook his head.

Wang Ziyan: "?"

You damn kid.

Goddamn provocation.

This seems more infuriating than asking me to cover up for him.

Before Wang Ziyan could speak, Lin Li showed a sly smile and continued:

"Teacher Yan, I'm thoroughly prepared for cheating in this Chinese exam. Upon realizing that you're the invigilator, I felt even more thrilled. You've probably seen Conan, right? I am the modern Thieving Kid. I love the sensation of notifying the teacher first then cheating right under the teacher's nose, it gives me an incomparable sense of accomplishment.

After all, ordinary cheating is too unchallenging for a master like me."

Wang Ziyan: "..."

Even Senior Xue never said that Lin Li is such a kid.

No, is something wrong with him?

Thieving? Idiotic!

Even though Wang Ziyan's words sounded serious earlier, as a newly graduated teacher, how could he not be aware of the prevalent nature of cheating?

In an extreme sense, cheating successfully without getting caught is a kind of skill.

But someone like Lin Li, Wang Ziyan swore, has never been seen in his life.

"The challenge letter is already in your hands, Teacher Yan. Accepting or not is your choice, regardless I will cheat."

Seeing Wang Ziyan's twitching mouth, Lin Li sneered and snapped his fingers, confidently turning back to his seat.

Wang Ziyan just stood there dumbly watching Brother Xiaoshuai Lin Li return to his seat, continuing to look at him provocatively.

"Teacher, teacher, the exam has started. Could you distribute the test papers now?" someone urged.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ziyan came to his senses, took a deep breath, and blew at his bangs, before distributing the test papers to each group.

According to plan, after distributing the test papers, he should start sneaking to play on his phone – as an invigilator, playing on the phone can't be too excessive because during exams the head of teaching will inspect, not only assisting in watching students but also checking if invigilators are too lax.

As a newbie teacher like Wang Ziyan, who doesn't quite fit in with those old teachers or have connections and power, he was quite worried it might affect his assessment. So he could only sneakily play, that way the head of teaching would turn a blind eye.

But now, Wang Ziyan had no thoughts of playing on his phone at all.

Taking student provocation without reacting is a feat by itself.

"Do your exam well, don't harbour any thoughts of cheating! I'll be watching you all the time!"

Wang Ziyan spoke loudly and sternly as he looked towards Lin Li's direction.

Just that?

That's not enough, so even after hearing Wang Ziyan say that, Lin Li's expression remained disdainful, and he pretended to glance at his drawer, shook his clothes, and confidently lifted his head, showing a face full of conviction.

Wang Ziyan immediately walked to Lin Li's side, bent over to see, but Lin Li's drawer was empty.

Then he noticed Lin Li's smug smile.

Great, kid, you've successfully captured my attention.

Wang Ziyan walked up to the podium, moved the chair down, placed it right next to Lin Li, then dusted off his sleeves, and sat down with style.

Lin Li turned his head and made eye contact with Wang Ziyan.

Lin Li chuckled.

This is exactly what he wanted, Feng Kai, how the hell are you going to cheat now?

Wang Ziyan laughed too.

This is exactly what he wanted, Lin Li, how the hell are you going to cheat now?

Feng Kai also laughed.

This isn't what he wanted, damnit, how the hell am I going to cheat now?
