The Most Random System-Chapter 564 - 319: After so many years, are you still unwilling to put effort into your words?_3
"I don’t know the ones who got caught, but the news has definitely spread. Almost everyone in our school knows about it." The other person nodded.
"How did it spread?"
After asking, seeing the boy’s hesitant expression, Lin Li raised his chin slightly: "Just tell it as you heard it. I won’t take it out on you, I emphasize again, I have no ill intentions."
——"Every night on Old Friend Street, there’s a chance a tall, handsome, capable guy claiming to be the Black Silk Hero appears, a fishing pervert trying to satisfy his desires by luring with money. Once hooked, he would play BGM, pull out a super-long fake dick from his coat, beat people up violently, and finally send a pack of black silk to the police station."
Lin Li: "(;☉_☉)?"
"Is there a chat log about this gossip? Can I take a look?"
This piqued Lin Li’s curiosity. How did things evolve into this?
"Yes." The person nodded, honestly opened his phone to show him.
A classic scene, a chat log with several other chat logs inside, just that.
A lot of the content inside was completely cobbled together and exaggerated, and there was even a blurry photo claiming to be the pervert himself. However, one glance was enough for Lin Li to see it wasn’t him at all.
That’s normal; chat logs are like this. You never know who is on the left or right of the chat window.
Back in first grade, Lin Li even added Jay Chou’s QQ, and Jay Chou borrowed ten yuan from Lin Li to open a yellow diamond because he spent all his money on a new song.
If it hadn’t been for Jay Chou turning into Wu Yifan two days later, Lin Li would have been happy to support him.
When Lin Li confronted Wu Yifan, he explained that Jay Chou didn’t use that QQ anymore and gave it to him. He also said he had just returned to the country and didn’t have any yuan, so he borrowed ten yuan from Lin Li for a yellow diamond.
Go fuck yourself!
Go to jail!
From then on, Lin Li knew that so-called chat logs were a bunch of crap. If given a few minutes, he could even make up a story.
After skimming through the chat logs given by the person, confirming there was no personal information about him, Lin Li let out a sigh of relief.
"So...brother, is this real?" Seeing Lin Li not angry but amused, the other person asked hesitantly.
"Of course not."
"Oh, oh—so the fake dick beating people up is all fake!" The boy nodded in relief, "I told you, no one would be that stupid—"
Lin Li: "That part is real."
"?"
"Haha, to be honest, it’s not all that stupid; I kind of want to try beating people up too, haha," the boy said with a look of despair.
You said you weren’t a pervert!
"The thing happened; I’m not a pervert. I just wanted to experience it once." Lin Li didn’t mind the ’insult’ and explained.
The other person blinked.
How am I supposed to believe you’re not?
Of course, he didn’t dare to say that.
"Just once was enough. I’ve given it up. Don’t worry, look at me, do I look like I have a weapon?" Lin Li laughed.
"Haha, true." The other person replied cooperatively.
"Alright, buddy, I stopped you because I really need your help, and there’ll be rewards. It’s not a setup," Lin Li snapped his fingers, returning to business.
"Go ahead."
Actually, the boy just wanted to slip away now, but he didn’t dare and could only nod respectfully.
"It’s really simple, I need you to provide me with information."
"To be frank, just keep an eye out, like is there anyone in your school who’s routinely collecting protection fees, organizing gang fights, collaborating with outsiders to extort, steal, or gamble.
As long as it’s illegal, you can tell me—of course, the premise is that you can cooperate with my free time so I can handle the matter."
"Just give me information that fits these criteria, I will pay you based on the content you provide, and the reward amount will definitely satisfy you. For instance, this three hundred cash in my hand, you can take it now as a deposit in advance.
The specific pricing for the information, we can discuss it later."
Lin Li immediately stated his needs and counted out three paper bills to hand to the other person.
"Eh?" The boy had no idea Lin Li was going to say this; he listened, a little dazed.
Then he became wary.
"Don’t worry about me backstabbing you. Later you don’t even have to tell me your any personal info after getting the intel, I won’t tell anyone who gave me those pieces of information."
"I’m not asking you to backstab your pals, I’m not targeting anyone, so you can just provide information of people you don’t get along with, it’s your freedom."
"But I require it to be real and reliable, you’d better have some proof, otherwise I’d make a trip for nothing, you get nothing, and I might terminate the cooperation."
Lin Li continued to speak, explaining points the other might be concerned about in advance.
"...That’s about it."
After hearing Lin Li’s words, the boy frowned, silent, lost in thought, his eyes occasionally sweeping between the ground and the money in Lin Li’s hand.
Lin Li didn’t push, leisurely standing aside.
After all, there was nothing urgent for him.
Acceptance or rejection didn’t matter.
Even if this person pretends to accept and then takes the money and ghosts him, Lin Li wouldn’t mind.
Casting a wide net, catching more fish, small losses are negligible.
Moreover, he could at least find out what this person usually did, where there were many punks, and how to recognize social folks and old hands.
"...Alright, I agree, how do we stay in touch?" The boy looked around, as if checking if anyone else saw them, finally nodded, and asked softly.
"WeChat, QQ, anything works, up to you."
"QQ then."
"Alright, give me the number."
"Give me a nickname to put as a note, I need to know how to address you." Once finding the boy’s QQ, Lin Li added him, then opened the notes, raised his chin, and asked.
"Just call me Stool." Stool said, "Bro, how about you?"
"Bai Bufan," Lin Li gave his name.
What a joke, his current image was "Old Friend Street’s long fake dick whipping fishing pervert," too fitting for the name Bai Bufan’s situation.
"How old are you?" Lin Li asked again.
"Eighteen." Stool replied.
"Eighteen?" Lin Li frowned, "What grade are you in?"
"Not into that." Hearing this, Stool covered his backside and stepped back two steps, looking a little scared: "Bro, don’t scare me."
"No, I’m asking what grade you’re in, aren’t you in vocational high school? Third year? Or repeated a grade? Why are you eighteen?" Lin Li laughed and asked.
"Oh oh, bro, I’m in the second year, didn’t repeat a grade, I’m talking about nominal age, I’m used to that..."
Stool exhaled and quickly answered.
In the family, they all refer to nominal age, adding an extra year after the new year, directly two years older than the actual age.
Nominal age and actual age are easy to remember.
The actual age starts from when your mother brought you into the world.
Nominal age starts from when your dad shot you out.
"Got it, I’m eighteen in actual age," Lin Li nodded, "Asking this not to probe information, just to confirm, otherwise being called bro by someone older feels weird to me."
"Alright, Brother Bai." Stool nodded.
Lin Li handed over the money, Stool took it, then said thanks.
More polite than Zelensky, Vance was delighted.
"Alright, go wherever you need to," Lin Li was quite satisfied with tonight’s gains: "If you know people from other schools, especially those in society, and they’re also willing to provide information, you can introduce them to me.
As I said, money is not a problem, as long as it helps me catch criminals, you can ask about their psychological price.
As long as I gain something, I won’t forget you the middleman."
"Okay, Brother Bai." Stool’s eyes lit up instantly, as if he already had a plan. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Alright then, we’ll stay in touch on QQ." Lin Li nodded.
The two then parted ways.
