The Most Random System

Bai Bufan is still considered human.

Except for the VTCC series of license plates, which are all recorded by CCTV, the other things are real.

Let's forgive him for now.

...

Friday.

It was only 3:50 AM when Lin Li was woken up by the alarm clock.

The sky was still dark and somewhat hazy, with few clouds, understandable since Lao Da had not yet gotten up to work at this time.

The moon was still hanging in the sky, but its brightness was indistinguishable from the surroundings, so you couldn't notice it without looking carefully.

Lin Li was very sleepy, but he didn't linger in bed; he got up immediately.

When there's motivation, getting up is always easy.

Up till now, Lin Li thought the only significant physical improvement he had was a 100% enhancement in memory.

Today, however, being the last day of Task One, his body was finally going to undergo a useful improvement. Getting up early might leave him some leeway in case of any unexpected situations.

"But... this 50% increase in Qi Blood won't raise my blood pressure, will it?" Lin Li stopped in his tracks while getting dressed to go downstairs, frowning as he muttered to himself.

If it's true that his blood pressure increases by 50%, once he confirms this news, he might be able to increase it by another 50% in a short time.

That might be fatal.

Most people don't need to think like this, but Lin Li simply couldn't ease his mind with this system.

Lin Li had to speculate with the greatest malice towards this system.

Still, one can't just stop eating because food might choke you; naturally, tasks have to be completed. However, for safety's sake, it's best to make some preparations.

Lin Li found a blood pressure monitor at home; this was something his mom was coaxed into buying during a door-to-door sales pitch, and he also found a matching box of blood pressure medication. The expiry date hadn't passed yet.

He first used the blood pressure monitor to check his current blood pressure, which was normal. After recording the data, Lin Li went downstairs with the medication.

It was too early in the morning for the community park to be as lively as before. As Lin Li walked along, he only saw a few elderly people who were up early to buy groceries or breakfast; there wasn't a single person exercising.

At his usual spot, Xiaozhou naturally wasn't there either.

But whether he was there or not didn't affect his exercise routine.

[Consecutive awakening before 5:00 AM for a week, diligently practicing Body Refining Eighth Rank Technique, a total of at least half an hour before 7:00 AM (7/7).]

[Task One is complete.]

[You have received Physical Improvement: Qi Blood increased by 50%; System Currency *100]

When the system reward notification came through, Lin Li suddenly felt a bit dizzy, his vision went dark, and he nearly couldn't stay on his feet.

System, I fucking knew it! You really did it!

I made good expectations, and you ignored them all, but when I talked about the bad ones, it hit right on.

Lin Li didn't rush to take the medication, though. He noticed that his exposed hands and feet seemed to be turning red, which shouldn't happen with high blood pressure.

So he quickly grabbed his water cup and ran back home.

Better go home first.

"Lin Li? Why are you here so early today?" Zhou Youwei saw Lin Li rushing towards this entrance and asked in surprise.

Lin Li waved him off, having no time to respond, and ran around Zhou Youwei, continuing towards his home.

Zhou Youwei watched Lin Li run back to his residential building, full of confusion.

What's the matter?

Why did he come so early and leave so fast?

Zhou Youwei squinted suspiciously. This kid was sneaky and showed a panic-stricken look when spotted, almost as if there was undeniably something fishy.

No doubt.

It's a trap.

Zhou Youwei went to the usual spot but didn't start practicing; instead, he cautiously looked around.

This time, Lin Li won't get away with setting me up!

...

Lin Li ran all the way back home and sat down on the sofa.

The dizziness was beginning to ease, but his body was still turning red.

Lin Li started measuring his blood pressure again.

It was a bit higher than before, but still within the normal range. More likely a fluctuation from his exercise rather than a system-induced result.

Lin Li relaxed a bit, tossed the medication aside, got up, and went to the bathroom, looking at his truly red and warm self.

The blush on a young man's face surpasses any sweet talk; now I'm all over with flirtatious talk.

Lin Li leaned on the sink, breathing slowly.

The dizziness was gone now.

The fatigue in his limbs, possibly from exercise-induced soreness, was starting to fade.

After standing in place for a few more minutes, he noticed the unnatural redness on his body was also beginning to recede.

"So, were the discomforts just due to my body not adapting to the 50% Qi Blood increase all at once?"

Lin Li could sense some vague changes in his body, similar to the mysterious feeling after practicing even-numbered chapters with spirit stones, although the focus of both was different. However, he couldn't pinpoint the exact changes yet.

Feel... more energized?

But it's likely that the Qi Blood increase would bring benefits to someone like me living in a modern world.

"Stamina? Vitality? Health?"

But nothing to do with Yang energy.

He could only wait to feel it later. With a 50% increase, he'll surely feel it obvious later on. Lin Li wasn't in a hurry.

Now, Lin Li turned his attention to the system.

[Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, the body has sensed the strength, the path ahead is clear, keep the momentum, do not stop here.]

[Task Triggered!]

[Task One: For one month, get up before 5:00 AM, diligently practice the Body Refining Eighth Rank Technique, a total of at least half an hour before 7:00 AM.]

[Rewards: Physical Improvement: Comprehensive Recovery Ability Enhancement 50%, Qi Blood Increase 50%; Lower Grade Spirit Stone *20; System Currency *150]

[Comprehensive Recovery Ability: Includes recoverable values such as physical ability, spiritual power, blood production capacity, internal force, libido, mana, mecha endurance, etc.]

This was the new task activated when he completed the previous one, but his mind wasn't on it then, so he only checked it now.

"..."

The rewards are great.

The 20 spirit stones alone were enough to make Lin Li happy.

But is there something odd mixed into the description of this comprehensive recovery ability?

Will my cooldown time be reduced by half in the future too?

The time a person can be a Wise One in their life is already limited, and now it's going to be reduced even more?

Hehe.

Looking forward to it.

"Worthy of the name 'comprehensive,' truly comprehensive."

Just being able to accelerate the recovery of physical strength and Spiritual Power already shows its value.

Unfortunately, the task takes too long, it will take a whole month to complete.

"Sigh, one task after another, having to get up before 5:00 AM every day, with the system like this, I'll never get to sleep in again in my life..." Lin Li suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

This isn't something to say lightly, Xiling Town has many dialects, Minnan is one of them, and Lin Li knows a few words used for cursing.

If you want to know what "sleeping in" means in Minnan, if you've watched Wang Lei's livestream with Gan Lingniang, you should remember a word besides Zhu Zhenyi—"lazy bones."

The two are similar.

And the pronunciation of 'sleep' in Minnan is somewhat like 'wash.'

"I still get to sleep in, and I can sleep." Thus said Lin Li.

...

Before Lin Li went warm, Zhou Youwei did.

This morning he didn't do anything, not even Tai Chi, spending all his time looking for the traps Lin Li had laid out.

Looked for a whole hour.

He even found all the dog poop in the bushes, witnessing all this, Zhang Fang asked him if he wanted to join the neighborhood poop-scooping team.

None of this dog poop was fresh, so it probably wasn't done by Lin Li,

It really seemed like Lin Li didn't leave any traps.

But that's impossible!

No one understands Lin Li better than Zhou Youwei.

Lost in thought, Zhou Youwei suddenly opened his eyes wide, haha, now he understood.

"Lin Li's plan is to make me think he set traps, but actually, there are no traps, causing me to feel anxious and fearful!"

The more Zhou Youwei thought about it, the more he felt it was true.

This guy is indeed extremely insidious!

"I'm not anxious or afraid!"

Haughtily muttering to himself, Zhou Youwei, having found his 'answer,' finally contentedly headed home.

...

The benefits brought by the improvement in Qi Blood, Lin Li quickly felt it.

On the way riding his bicycle, he could clearly see that the time he could sustain pedaling with all his strength had indeed increased.

After the exhaustion from morning exercise completely faded away, feeling rested, he felt full of endless energy all over again.

His endurance was much stronger than before.

But the changes brought by Qi Blood were definitely not limited to this.

Because his spirits had visibly improved, and when he went out, he noticed that the faint dark circles he had accumulated had disappeared for this period.

The coating on his tongue had turned a healthy pink.

——His kidneys seemed to have benefited from this improvement as well.

Great!

Sadly, the sleepiness didn't disappear, after all, he did get up too early this morning.

Full of spirit, Lin Li entered through the main door directly this time, exchanging glances with Wang Ze at the entrance.

Yesterday's grudge was perhaps the perfect time for revenge today.

So Lin Li sneered, "Wang Ze, my divine skill has reached its peak, and I've become the new sports student. You, come out and duel with me. After today, our class four can only have one sports student!"

"I voluntarily give up competing for this sports student spot." Wang Ze first raised his hands in a surrender pose, then shouted to the left, "But, Xie Wenjing, Lin Li said only one of you can survive."

Left Guardian's half head peeked out from the podium, eyes meeting Lin Li's.

Xie Wenjing, female, Left Guardian, sports student, special recruitment project is shot put.

Although not as exaggerated as Nezha of 'Ten Cold,' her biceps were indeed bigger than Lin Li's.

I fight Xie Wenjing? Is that for real?

Lin Li laughed, sneering at Wang Ze's cowardice and weakness, disgracing the sports student title, while he backed out of the front door of the classroom, not forgetting to close the door behind him.

After distributing breakfast, Lin Li asked about the progress of Bai Bufan's commission from yesterday.

"What do the guys say?"

"In our dorm, everyone except for Tianming has been persuaded. As for Tianming, he said he went to Pingjiang Amusement Park just last year with his family, and since he's a bit timid, he didn't dare to try many attractions and felt it wasn't very fun. The amusement park takes up a large part of the class leader's plan, so he doesn't want to go.

The dorm next door with Wang Ze also agreed, only Haoyang still refuses to go; he just wants to be a homebody and finds going out too troublesome," Bai Bufan said, "Lin Li, I've done everything I can, sold everything I got, managed to convince so many people, the last two you'll have to handle yourself, and stop threatening me."

Persuading familiar people to go out and play is actually quite easy.

The majority initially said they wouldn't go because the other familiar people didn't seem to go either.

Once someone changed their mind and started persuading others, the effect was significant:

"If XX goes, I'll go too."; "XX and I are both going, you're not going?"; "XX said he'll go if you go!"; "XX said he's going".

When Bai Bufan and Lin Li confirmed they were going, some people then agreed to go, further influencing others until most were willing to go now.

"Alright, I'll try to persuade them again at noon," Lin Li nodded hearing this, satisfied with the results.

"Your charisma isn't as strong as mine, can you persuade them?" Bai Bufan said with some disdain.

"I have a hypnosis app," Lin Li retorted with equal disdain.

"Hypnosis app? If it's useful, why not get me one as well?" Although Bai Bufan knew Lin Li could be full of it, he couldn't resist his curiosity.

Time pause pocket watch, hypnosis app, who could refuse these things? One look and no voice comes out.

Once in possession, at first, one might become Supercareful Man, but eventually turn into Happy Man.

"You've already installed it," Lin Li smiled mysteriously.

"Hmm? Which app?"

"Alipay."

Bai Bufan: "?"

"I personally saw a Brother Fu at the mall show off this app to his female companion, and she was hypnotized, hearts in her eyes, so obedient to Brother Fu," Lin Li said seriously.

Bai Bufan: "..."

You don't say, you're really saying it.

Bai Bufan found himself unable to refute it.
