The Most Random System-Chapter 567 - 320: AUV, Just So Authentic!_3

Xue Jian didn’t even lift his eyelid at the sound: "Burned many times?"

"Mm!"

"Did you pitch in for cigarettes?"

Lin Li: "(;☉_☉)?"

"No, no pitching in." Lin Li replied stiffly.

"Then pitch in for the cigarettes, and say thank you." Xue Jian resolutely refused to open his eyes, seemingly not wanting to look at Lin Li at all, just delivering a fair and just judgment, as if the Dragonfly Captain had possessed him.

The class burst into laughter.

Lin Li handed the breakfast money he collected in the morning to Chen Yu Ying, and Chen Yu Ying actually accepted it!

You really took it, huh baby.

"You’ll pay me back later, right?" Lin Li asked in a low voice.

"No."

"Return half, half is fine."

"Not returning any, it’s for my cigarettes."

"Class president, don’t get caught by me smoking, otherwise your butt will be in trouble." Lin Li could only make a threat.

The only response was a snort, making the threat ineffective.

Lin Li sighed.

Cocky Bai Bufan and Wang Ze, even if I were a novel’s protagonist, it would still be from Yu Hua’s pen.

At this moment, Lin Li wanted to shout out a classic outcry from Yu Hua—

"Oh God!"

"Hang yourself!"

"Screw me over!"

— Yu Hua, "Shouting in the Drizzle"

...

In the evening, Lin Li returned home.

He hung the dripping raincoat directly on the hook stuck to the wall by the door—although the old neighborhood isn’t safe, it is safe, and the neighbors wouldn’t take such a thing.

"Wu Min: First in your grade? You?"

Seeing the message Wu Min sent him at around seven in the evening only after taking out his phone.

It should be that Xue Jian also sent the report card to the parent group, then Wu Min checked it after getting off work.

"Lin Li: I stole the test paper before the exam."

"Wu Min: Oh, then mom can rest assured."

"Wu Min: ’Transferred 500’, keep it up, steal more next time, maintain the ranking."

Lin Li nodded with satisfaction, so she’s supportive; he found the root of his lack of morals and quality.

Indeed, since ancient times, indulgent mothers make undisciplined sons.

Zoe didn’t message him today.

But he did communicate with him yesterday and the day before, he is now trying to contact some real gangsters and sources in other schools for him.

Because he said now, the school is quite calm, their school was also checked by the Demon Suppression Bureau and the community, even the most unruly group has relatively restrained themselves.

Of course, there are small evils in daily life, but Lin Li has to go to school and there’s no point in meddling.

No worries, wait patiently.

After entering the house, Lin Li manifested a mirror.

This is the treasure he just received today.

[You have received a reward: Physical Improvement: Epiphany increased by 20%; Divine Sense increased by 100%; Random Magical Artifact*1.]

This is a task reward.

[You have obtained a magical artifact: Celestial Secret Mirror]

[Celestial Secret Mirror: After refinement, it can spy on the secrets of heaven.]

The introduction is brief, the item is a handheld mirror with an ancient design, complicated and intricate patterns, with the ancient inscription "Observe the impermanent, the impermanent observes you" on the back, looking quite classy.

The mirror surface is bronze-colored, but not bronze, in fact, the so-called mirror surface doesn’t reflect, it can’t be used as a mirror at all.

At home, Lin Li started refining it.

Grabbing it with one hand, he refined it instantly!

A basic refinement aiming to establish a connection isn’t difficult, soon, Lin Li established a connection with the "Celestial Secret Mirror."

Like other treasures, once the quasi-segment of "recognizing a master" is over, more detailed information pours into his mind.

The usage is to supply it with Spiritual Qi, and once it absorbs enough, the mirror will reveal some heavenly secrets or provide some guidance.

Each time it reveals a secret, the mirror surface will shatter on its own, but like the "duck blood bottle," it will self-repair, during repair it can’t be used again.

And in a complete state, carrying it can also gather a bit of luck and receive a trace of the Heavenly Dao’s protection.

Deepening the refinement can reduce the amount of spiritual qi needed to unlock heavenly secrets each time, decrease the unusable time after it shatters, and increase its spiritual qi absorption rate.

Lin Li manifested a low-grade Spirit Stone, placed it on the mirror, and could feel the stone’s Spiritual Qi being drawn in and absorbed.

No need for manual assistance in absorption, that’s a plus.

The absorption speed was quite fast, the stone emptied in just a few minutes, but the mirror showed no reaction, clearly not enough.

Lin Li didn’t provide any more Spirit Stones; let it go to the Cultivation Realm to absorb them instead.

When the takeout arrives, all prepared, Lin Li gets ready to head to the Cultivation Realm.

A flash of white light.

The stay limit increased by another half hour, up to a full seven hours.

"Boom!!"

As soon as the white light disappeared, Lin Li saw a purple lightning bolt fall from the sky onto the ground outside the mountain, with an earth-shattering roar!

Looking up, the previously calm and bright sky now suffused with arcs of purple lightning, constantly flickering and venturing.

It has the oppressive feel of purple clouds pressing down on a city.

Thunder rolling, I’m scared... Sorry, wrong scene.

"You idiot!"

The angry voice of Shanqing Daoist resounded, and then the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered, gradually forming a gigantic creature.

— Wing membranes like tattered cloth, a tail like a charred crocodile tail, thick enough to be a house beam, a body like a crossbreed between a toad and a rhino, with bumps flowing with something akin to tar, its head hunched into its shoulders, a single eye akin to a burning coal, one nearly atrophied hand, the other wielding a lava hammer studded with spikes.

Lin Li’s pupils quaked.

Huh?

This mutated lizard is, isn’t it the first BOSS from "Dark Souls 1", the Undead Demon, that notorious butt!?

As soon as the Undead Demon appeared, it wielded the massive hammer in its hand and smashed it towards Shanqing Daoist, but Shanqing Daoist only looked up and sneered.

Suddenly, lightning gathered in his hand, and brilliant lightning surged from all directions into the body of the Undead Demon, immobilizing it and slowly making purple-light-emitting cracks appear on its skin.

"Boom!!"

When the purple light became radiant, the Undead Demon exploded completely, with a tremendous momentum, bursting into chunks of flesh.

Lin Li: "(;☉_☉)?"

This is...

The next second, the smashed flesh chunks around began to gather again, re-forming the Undead Demon, but this time, it started kneeling and bowing to Shanqing Daoist.

Yet Shanqing Daoist stepped forward and stomped on its little head, crushing it into dissipating Spiritual Qi again.

It wasn’t over.

A human wielding a sword and shield then appeared before Shanqing Daoist.

"Ha—" Shanqing Daoist sneered.

"Aren’t you a Warrior? Huh? Chop twice and you’re panting like a dog, roll twice and you’re out of energy? With this cultivation, why come to the dungeon! You belong in prison!"

"That mixed-blood demon smashes you once, and you die; what damage do you do when you chop it?"

"You really are useless!!"

Shanqing Daoist poked the ’Undead’ on the head, saying a line with each poke, angrily questioning like wishing iron could become steel.

"..."

Lin Li lowered his head, starting to stifle laughter.

He already understands what Shanqing Daoist is doing.

What the Daoist is doing essentially equates to being heated by the game and then smashing the keyboard, tossing the mouse, punching through the screen, taking a bath, or stealing Zoe’s blue buff — acts of venting.

Only in reality, people can only vent indirectly; but Shanqing Daoist can create the game’s characters or monsters himself and ’personally’ destroy them.

This is obviously more satisfying.

Lin Li is a bit curious.

Are such created characters realistic?

If realistic, Lin Li has a bold idea...

Forget it, temporarily shelve this dirty idea.

Consider it someday when he too can create stuff.

Speaking of which, it’s probably been only half an hour since he left, and Shanqing Daoist found the Undead Demon, and that actually shows quite a talent for finding paths — kind of.

With a sigh, Shanqing Daoist slapped the Undead’s head apart, then exhaled deeply, sat back in the computer chair, staring closely at the bonfire at the respawn point ahead.

The bonfire is the warmest place in the world.

Seeing Shanqing Daoist not looking at him, didn’t even notice he’d come here until now, he really was furious.

The troublemaker Lin Li figured, might as well stand honestly and cautiously spoke: "...Grandpa~"

The voice like a child, trying to awaken Shanqing Daoist’s affection.

"Lin Li? You’re back?" Shanqing Daoist turned, upon seeing Lin Li, instantly appeared before Lin Li, then seemed relieved and smiled, reaching out to draw the computer over, then pointed at the screen to question:

"Come, Lin Li, tell grandpa, this ’Dark Souls’, is it really a relaxing casual game like Angry Birds?

Why do I feel that the only thing this game shares with Angry Birds is the word ’Angry’?"

Good, the old man didn’t act against him.

Lin Li chuckled awkwardly twice, dared not meet eyes: "Grandpa, maybe it’s just a tiny bit not so casual..."

"You brat, well, well, you brat—" Shanqing Daoist’s smile was kindly.

Lin Li held up the takeout:

"Grandpa, today’s a brand new meal you haven’t had before."

"Given the circumstances, how about we eat first?"
