The Most Random System

Without any other doubts to discuss, and with Xiaowen not actively having any 'records' to explain, Lin Li bid farewell to the two, as Song Luping was already planning to leave, so the two of them walked out together.

Walking to Lin Li's bicycle, Song Luping said, "The document is actually already halfway edited. Tomorrow or the day after, I'll go to Shuinan Bridge to help you check out the store. After it's perfected, I'll give you the first draft as soon as possible, oh—"

"What's the matter, bro?"

Lin Li heard the exclamation and looked up at Song Luping.

"It's nothing, I just seemed to be stripped bare by an ant." Song Luping waved his hand dismissively.

Lin Li: "..."

It was clear that, despite his tough words, Song Luping was aware of his own frailty.

"Bro… why don't you listen to Xiaowen? Stop while you still can. If you keep taking the medicine, your health will collapse." Lin Li was genuinely afraid that Song Luping would vanish in an instant.

"I can't go back now, and I have to take the medicine, Bufan, you need to understand, the thing girls hate the most is being caught off guard, I don't want to see their disappointed faces." Song Luping said in a low voice.

Apologize to this phrase, being caught off guard has been dragged the worst this time.

Besides, will chickens really be disappointed, shouldn't they be able to leave work early?

Shouldn't it be spoken with a smile about how easy it is to earn money, six hundred in three seconds?

"You can still adjust, Brother Ping, you're still young, what will you do in the future like this, you're not even married with kids yet." Lin Li sincerely persuaded, seeking a sliver of possibility for redemption.

Song Luping treats himself really well, but he must betray him, blaming the entire system.

"Now I'm a DINK advocate; my yearning for love ended when my first love ended, and everything followed suit." Song Luping's face was a mask of nostalgia, even without drinking today, he seemed more mournful than the night he had supper:

"In that first love year, I caught a cicada and thought I had caught summer; I messed up her face and thought I was destined to be with her forever. But in the end, I suddenly realized that everything was just a fantasy; both she and I were merely transient guests in each other's lives.

Summer doesn't stay, and she chose to leave.

There will be more people grabbing that cicada in the future, and more people messing up her face; no one is special, so why trap oneself in the past, why linger for someone again?"

This overly literary yet vulgar whisper left Lin Li stunned.

"I like and have become completely accustomed to my current life. Rather, you, Bufan, maybe I am your future; this is something that once tasted is hard to let go. If you're fearful, there is still a chance to turn back; if you don't want to inherit my legacy, I won't blame you." Song Luping softly murmured.

"I will not retrace anyone's old path, nor will I become anyone's shadow. I, Bai Bufan, will certainly pave a grand avenue in the world of love!"

Lin Li flipped himself onto the 'horse,' and responded with a frequency matching Song Luping's.

Song Luping said no more, watching Lin Li leave with complex eyes, and after a long while, when there were no silhouettes on the road, he turned around and gazed up at the moon, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

Song Luping walked forward.

"Oh."

Got tossed over by an ant.

...

Returning home, it was already late at night.

Lin Li took out his phone, with the breathing light flashing green, indicating there was a message.

As for the vibration, it was already gone.

Back in the store, it was buzzing all the time, Xiaowen even asked if I had brought tools to play, and reminded me that it wasn't proper to do so, hoping I wouldn't do that over the weekend.

Lin Li could only chuckle and take out his phone, turning off the vibration.

It wasn't a text message, that stopped last night, the other party's bombardment wasn't those costless verification code bombs, but real edited content sent as text messages, each costing at least several cents.

Perhaps at this moment, a woman in a remote dark room in Northern Myanmar might be screaming.

The reason for the vibration was Bai Bufan.

Clicked open WeChat, it was all messages inquiring about my situation.

Bai Bufan really exemplified what it means to change his expressions.

Starting with a respectful attitude, then later suspecting I was enjoying myself ahead of him, starting to angrily slander and insult me, and now, after suffering cold violence, exhibited powerlessness and frailty, even entering a crazed state:

"You there?"

"Why aren't you replying? Lin Li, you've successfully piqued my interest, I need your cold response to balance my enthusiasm."

"Sorry, what I said earlier was crossing the line, I think in truth our relationship hasn't progressed to where you'd reply to me, my problem."

...

"Alive?"

"Lin Li, I'm your dad! How many years do you get there for not replying to messages?"

"Wang Changling's mom! Did you die? No signal at your grave?"

"Lin Li, are you purposely not replying, adjusting your phone to vibrate and secretly enjoying it?"

...

"You damn!"

"I'm begging you, bro, reply to my message, if I catch a cold tomorrow, it'll definitely be because of your cold violence."

"Not replying, huh "sweat bean", fine, alright actually I didn't really want you to reply "sweat bean", actually, I have many people replying to me, I don't particularly fancy chatting with you "crying with laughter", you're really quite average "rolling eyes", really amusing and pompous "rolling eyes" "crying with laughter"."

...

"Image"

A super high-quality alluring picture, but Bai Bufan censored all the key parts heavily, behaving beastly.

"Didn't see the messages? Can't lure you out even with this?"

...

Lin Li viewed it with absolutely no sense of guilt.

Bai Bufan is still sending messages right now.

"Lin Li quoted 'Message': Send me the infantry map."

"Bai Bufan: Bro, you finally came back to life, I've been watching ads forever waiting for this!"

"Lin Li: Just got home, the situation wasn't suitable for checking messages earlier..."

Lin Li briefly explained the situation, leaving the details for tomorrow.

"Bai Bufan: Living on campus is really a pain for me, I need to find a chance to ask my family again if they can drive me back and forth for an hour and a half every day, twice a day, so I can be a day student."

"Lin Li: Did you laugh when you typed that?"

Bai Bufan is not a local of Xiling, but from the neighboring town, which is a bit farther away.

"Bai Bufan: Didn't laugh, buddy, it's not funny, pay attention to the wording, I said 'again', I've already brought it up with my family once."

"Lin Li: So, what happened?"

"Bai Bufan: My dad laughed and said, 'Bufan, I've met your grandpa, but you haven't met mine yet, isn't that unfair?'"

"Bai Bufan: At that time I was puzzled, I thought my great-grandfather's generation had mostly passed, but before I could voice my doubt, my dad said his transportation was his belt."

"Bai Bufan: Damn, that day I didn't meet my great-grandfather, but I did meet Lao Da."

"Lin Li: Buddy, that's not funny."

"Bai Bufan: If you didn't laugh when you typed that, I'll eat dirt here and now."

Lin Li indeed was laughing.

"Bai Bufan: Additionally, I specifically asked Lao Da, and Lao Da really said he didn't mind, buddy, that's funny, I can only say Lao Da's heart is as broad as Lao An's."

"Lin Li: Your imagination is as vast as Lao Ken's."

"Lin Li: Alright, just got home, going to shower now, send over the infantry map and source, it's urgent."

"Bai Bufan: Galio used his ultimate to defeat 385 citizens in a city named SONE."

"Lin Li: 1"

...

Lin Li nodded in satisfaction, he approved of Bai Bufan's perspective; usually lying in bed as if 'wooden', at this moment he was like 'too.'

Lin Li wouldn't make the foolish mistake Bai Bufan once did.

He downloaded it first before watching.

...

The next day.

It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go from extravagant to frugal.

When the last egg was taken from Lin Li's egg box, Lin Li could only practice the odds chapters of the Body Refining Eighth Rank Technique diligently once more.

Sweaty pain filled his body again, and maybe because he hadn't practiced this way for several days, today felt especially exhausting.

Lin Li wasn't giggling, but Xiaozhou's complexion looked much better, clearly the giggling had transferred somewhere else.

Zhou Youwei was genuinely happy.

After all, as a human, it's hard to constantly face an enemy shaking their annoying butt with a good expression.

[Get up seriously before 5:00 AM for a week and practice the Body Refining Eighth Rank Technique diligently, at least half an hour before 7:00 AM. (6/7)]

Seeing the notification, Lin Li propped his hands on his thighs, breathing and resting.

"Goodbye, Grandpa Zhou."

"Hmm, goodbye." Today he could be a Korean-style grandpa again, indeed responding, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Thoughts written all over the face, interacting with such elderly is indeed entertaining.

Lin Li nodded again, dragged his tired body forward, the long-lost dead dog posture.

Though he's only practiced for a week, at least it's a cultivation technique that doesn't exist in reality; the effects are undeniable, Lin Li's physical condition has improved.

A week ago, without resting, Lin Li could rely on stamina in the front, then on body and willpower, practicing for a dozen minutes with standard moves; when the moves twisted so much that they affected the cultivation practice, he could only rest a few minutes before continuing.

But now, Lin Li could probably maintain the standard moves continuously for nearly twenty minutes.

But this can't change the ending of being exhausted like a dog.

After all, the system's demand for diligence grows with Lin Li's growth.

Having leftover strength unused is considered not serious.

The petty-minded system is like this.

Unless Lin Li can effortlessly handle the Body Refining Eighth Rank Technique, perfectly meeting the cultivation requirements with leftover strength, or practice for five minutes, rest two hours, until then, the result of serious practice is all about being dog-tired.

The only consolation might be that before, he was a very weak dog, now Lin Li is just a generally weak dog!

And tomorrow! His Qi Blood will change!

The future is promising! He might become a strong dog tomorrow!

Eh? Wait.

He is human.

Redo, stronger human!

"I am human! I am human!" With this thought, Lin Li raised his left hand, chanting the slogan 'I am human', and joyfully jogged home.

Early-rising elderly along the way: "?"

Whose kid is being silly?
