The Most Random System

"No way, this really can hypnotize. If the number was high enough, I think I'd willingly stick my butt up." Bai Bufan gave a thumbs up.

Hypnotize my butt.

"Selling your wild butt already? What happened to the gold beneath your knees?" Lin Li sneered.

He's different. Unless it's a loyal 175 cm tall, 36D rich woman, Lin Li absolutely won't stick his butt up.

Even a butt has its dignity; it requires extra payment.

"Isn't that gold being liquidated right now?" Bai Bufan said indifferently, then changed his stance, "Lin Li, if you're using hypnosis technique, I don't want to go on the autumn trip next week either, so feel free to hypnotize me at noon. Don't pity me because I'm a delicate flower."

"No need for noon, I can do it now."

"Really? I didn't bring my phone, but I can give you my card number..." Bai Bufan got a bit excited.

Lin Li chuckled, nodded, stood up, then raised his chair to smash it toward Bai Bufan, "Guaranteed to hypnotize you!"

"Huh?"

"Your mom! How come it's physical hypnosis with me! You actually treat me differently!"

…

Not sure if it's psychological, but Lin Li felt more focused after his Qi Blood improved.

Even though practice today was exhausting and he woke up too early, these lessons in the first half of the day were better than before.

He even had some energy left for English class, with Bai Bufan cautiously chuckling away — no longer daring to be too cocky, afraid of hurting Koukou's feelings.

After lunch, Lin Li and Bai Bufan returned to their dorm, noticed Chen Tianming hadn't come back, so Lin Li visited next door.

The next-door folks weren't all there either, only two people, but luckily Zhang Haoyang, the target, was.

"Yo? Lin Li, coming to conquer Haoyang?" Wang Ze spoke upon seeing Lin Li.

"It's 'persuade,' pronounced 'shuo,' pronunciation changed ages ago, now only 'canvass' is pronounced 'shui,' both 'lobbyist' and 'persuade' are 'shuo.'" Lin Li showed off his cultural knowledge.

— Remembered from translating Body Refining Eighth Rank Technique before.

Wang Ze held his MP3, reading a novel, indifferent to Lin Li's words, turned to ask, "Lin Li, I've seen enough Beast Masters, got any novel type recommendations?"

Lin Li thought carefully for a while, then said, "Group image story then."

"What's it like, about lots of characters? I don't read many novels." Wang Ze asked.

"Those classic, unforgettable group image stories, start with just the main character alone, then everyone gathers from all directions because of different coincidences, becomes friends, later they all laugh together, cry together, adventure together, and in the end, some die, some die, some die, some die..."

Lin Li explained eloquently.

Wang Ze: "?"

"Examples, Rainbow Cat Blue Rabbit Seven Swordsmen, Dream Journey animation, these are wonderful group animations."

Listening to Lin Li's beautiful description, Wang Ze's initially excitedly raised mouth soon stiffened.

Don't die, don't all die.

Your 'beautiful' dam?

"Not reading anymore!" Wang Ze shook his head like a rattle. "I get it, all group image novels are written by Yu Hua."

"Alright, enough novel talk, we'll discuss it later. Okay brothers, now eyes on me, I've got an announcement!" Lin Li imitated Brother Hu, shouted loudly.

"I have a dream!" Lin Li prepared to start his speech, although there were barely any people in the dorm.

"Can't understand, can you translate?" Wang Ze raised his hand to signal.

If Martin Luther King had such an audience back then, he'd be out of breath.

"Then not speaking English."

"People can't have both youth and insight into it, folks, what you don't cherish now will be what you desperately yearn for in the future, wishing to buy sweet osmanthus and ride with wine, but ultimately, unlike, youthful excursions..." Lin Li began tugging at heartstrings.

"Still can't understand, can you translate?" Wang Ze raised his hand to signal.

A sports student really has it tough.

"I'm not talking to you, Wang Ze, shut up and read your novel." Lin Li got annoyed.

"Oh."

"No." After denying the unreasonable request, Lin Li stopped going through the motions and directly faced Zhang Haoyang. "Haoyang! Yang! My dear Yang! Why not go on the autumn trip? Come on, it'll be fun with everyone, much happier than staying at home all day, isn't that boring?

Just thinking about not seeing you there makes my heart feel like it's been squeezed and shattered!

If you don't come with me, what's the point of the autumn trip!"

Zhang Haoyang was lying on the bottom bunk, so Lin Li straightforwardly jumped up to his bed to start a playful persuasion.

"Don't want to go, I want to go home and play games." Zhang Haoyang wrapped himself tightly with the blanket, protecting his butt.

"Everyone's going, who will you find to game with? In the team chat, you always complain and beg us to play games, and you're the most over-the-top, making me suspect outside our high school group, you have no friends." Lin Li frowned and said,

"Wouldn't it be perfect to go with us? Da Fei has won five championships in a row, still playing mom's games, you know, I've always been a farming player, love farm work, watching all-Chinese teams win every season.

"When the time comes, let's play some mobile games together, or maybe some physical games. Isn't that better than staying home all day with only WeChat sports sending you messages?"

Haoyang: "..."

"We're just classmates! Lin Li, you're crossing the line!"

"I don't have friends besides you guys? Haha, sigh, haha! My WeChat is flooded with messages every day!!"

"Just wait, Lin Li. Don't leave after school today! I've got a truckload of breadmen to handle you!"

"Are they bringing ketchup?" Lin Li asked.

"This is outrageous! No way, I'm definitely not going. I've already made gaming plans with over a hundred good friends this Saturday!" Haoyang covered his head with the blanket.

Looking at Haoyang wrapped up, Lin Li got a new idea.

If Haoyang died, he wouldn't be able to go. The class leader would probably be understanding, right?

"Haoyang, let me tuck in the blanket corners for you, don't catch a cold."

"Thanks."

"Huh? Hmm—!! Hmm—!!"

...

He didn't suffocate.

Accidentally let Haoyang survive.

Lin Li sighed, realizing that compared to Bai Bufan, he really didn't have extra leadership skills or charm.

He could only use his ultimate move.

"How about I find you a sweet-voiced girl to play with on Sunday?" Lin Li whispered in Haoyang's ear, "Also, I'll bring my family's Switch and game cartridges for the autumn outing, but I'll leave them at your place."

"Hmm?"

"I've wandered half my life, just regretting I haven't met a worthy master. If you don't mind, I'd like to recognize you as my godfather." Haoyang immediately turned around.

Sure enough, the hypnosis app is the most useful.

Because of the anti-pornography bonus, Lin Li, who didn't have much extra expense, had a regular flow of allowance every week, and recently his funds were quite ample.

The reason for spending money in this area.

Lin Li believed that it's necessary to maintain and improve relationships with Chen Yu Ying, spending money for this is considered an investment.

The enhancement in relationships didn't mean he wanted to be in a romantic relationship.

Lin Li's fondness for Chen Yu Ying has always been a pure appreciation of beauty—simply put, it's just lust, pure lust.

As for romance, Lin Li at least doesn't have that idea now.

Even if Chen Yu Ying impulsively confessed to him, Lin Li would have agreed before, but now he would hesitate and then reject.

After all, the system has opened the door to a new world for him, many thoughts and actions are no longer the same.

Just a temptation of beauty!

Among the cultivators he has met so far, Lin Li's heart is the most resolute.

So far, both tasks triggered by his 'second system' have been related to Chen Yu Ying. Lin Li hasn't had interactions with other women, including Koukou and other female classmates, but no other tasks have been triggered.

Have to consider whether the system's recognized trigger target might only be her.

Lin Li's current objective is to become Chen Yu Ying's close guy friend, allowing more opportunities for interaction between them.

Emphasize that all these actions are grounded in rational analysis and judgment above, and have nothing to do with Chen Yu Ying sweetly calling him brother, nor because of impulsively promising something and not wanting to embarrass himself by failing and going back defeated.

He is not someone who can be swayed by beauty and pride.

"What you just said, is it true, godfather?" Haoyang confirmed.

"Rest assured, sweet voice guaranteed." Lin Li nodded.

"Wait a minute, no, the focus should be 'beauty' and 'girl', right? You won't use a voice changer yourself to accompany me for a day and then record my foolish behavior to share in the gaming group, right?" Haoyang was a bit suspicious, "Lin Li, say it again to make me feel reassured."

What Haoyang described, wasn't something Lin Li would do, but something he already did.

It's just that last time he used a WeChat account pretending to be a girl.

This bunch of buddies are really sharp, leaving Lin Li with no room to maneuver.

Who ruined the atmosphere? It's really a shame.

Finally, the two made mutual promises.

Haoyang added: "But Lin Li, let's be clear, I might get tired and return to my place to rest or play on my phone; it's unlikely I'll stay with you all the time."

"No worries, as long as you get on the bus, whatever you do, Egyptian or whatever, nobody cares." Lin Li walked away with flair like a guy who wears pants and doesn't recognize people.

Haoyang: "?"

Didn't you just say that without me, you can't even have fun playing?
