The Most Random System-Chapter 685 - 357: The First Battle Among Human Powerhouses—Unimaginable Terror

Nighttime.

Lin Li returned home.

The stool over there told him that Li Sheng was very pleased with his speed of transferring funds and efficiency of action, saying that barring any unforeseen circumstances, they can proceed with another transaction in the near term.

Li Sheng has gone to make preparations now and asked Lin Li to wait patiently for good news.

Li Sheng is a person worth dealing with.

By Wednesday, it's midweek, Lin Li took the delivered takeout, prepared the tools required for Shan Qing Daoist's warmth task, and immediately headed to the Cultivation Realm.

A flash of white light passed.

Just like every weekly update, the maximum stay time has increased again, from seven hours to seven and a half hours.

Standing firm, Lin Li then looked up towards Shan Qing Daoist's location, only to see the other still engrossed in the game "Dark Souls," the sound of the keyboard crackling.

But Lin Li's attention was soon drawn to another presence.

At this moment, there unexpectedly appeared a third person atop this Inverted Mountain.

He was a middle-aged man dressed in white, with long hair draped down, a handsome face, his eyes gentle and deep, giving one a sense of calm like deep water in an ancient pond.

Currently, the smartphone Lin Li left for Shan Qing Daoist was floating in front of him.

Unlike Shan Qing Daoist who completely didn't turn around, this person's gaze was already on Lin Li when he looked up.

It seems he noticed and looked around as soon as Lin Li appeared, making Lin Li momentarily stunned before regaining his composure, then he nodded towards the person, humbly.

Shan Qing Daoist mentioned this place is an absolute forbidden area, no living beings have approached for nearly a hundred years, so this person's presence here and harmonious interaction with Shan Qing Daoist naturally makes him one of the other two human great powers in dormancy.

In response to Lin Li's action, the middle-aged man also nodded in acknowledgment.

Then he raised a hand towards Shan Qing Daoist's direction, flicked at the air.

"Hmm?" Shan Qing Daoist sensed something, took off his headphones, glanced back at the middle-aged man, then noticed Lin Li out of the corner of his eye, suddenly understanding, he smiled and nodded while getting up:

"Oh, Lin Li is here."

"Grandfather, yes." Setting down the tools meant for warming up Shan Qing Daoist later, Lin Li first nodded, showing the takeout and some new snacks and drinks in his hands.

"These things, I am…" Lin Li started to prolong his speech here, his eyes moving between Shan Qing Daoist and the middle-aged man.

"Just give him the takeout."

Shan Qing Daoist raised his hand, enclosing the takeout with Spiritual Qi, brought it over to the middle-aged man.

"Alright, Deng Wen, take it and give it a try, this is freshly prepared food from another world, compared to these snacks, it can better satisfy dietary cravings, the taste is quite good, especially for us who have been corpses for centuries.

This kid, as you guessed, is the Lin Li I told you about."

After speaking to the middle-aged man, Shan Qing Daoist looked at Lin Li and introduced:

"Lin Li, this is Deng Wen, Deng of Deng, Wen of Wen, Great Sword Immortal, known as Cloud, the troubling Sword Qi wandering in this world, are all brought forth by him."

"Greetings, Sword Immortal Deng." Lin Li slightly bowed.

"Oh, why are you calling him so formally, you've already called me grandfather, based on relationships, you can just call him Little Deng." Shan Qing Daoist waved his hand.

Lin Li: "..."

Deng Wen, who was using Sword Qi to slice open the takeout packaging, upon hearing this, glanced at Shan Qing Daoist and said blandly: "Grandson."

Shan Qing Daoist nodded, easily flowing with it: "Lin Li, don't call him Little Deng, he's letting you call him grandson directly."

Lin Li: "Little Deng…"

In an instant, both Deng Wen's and Shan Qing Daoist's gazes converged on Lin Li.

One bore a look of "you truly dare call him that,"

The other had a nuanced appreciation, "worthy of being my grandchild, quite bold, but if you actually call him that, and Little Deng hits you, grandfather is taking a run for it, slow runners in the front row."

——The content in their eyes was what Lin Li understood.

"Little me (Deng) doesn't dare, better call him Sword Immortal Deng." ——Lin Li finished speaking.

Turns out I misheard it?

Deng Wen waved his hand, although he spoke disrespectfully to Shan Qing Daoist, he had a gentle attitude towards Lin Li:

"No need to call me Sword Immortal, just call me Senior."

"Alright, Senior Deng, Senior, why have you awakened," Lin Li nodded, then curiously asked, "Was there something that happened in the half hour I wasn't here?"

——In reality, he had been gone for a little over a week, but time in the Cultivation Realm had actually only passed about an hour.

Responding to Lin Li's query was still Shan Qing Daoist:

"Nothing much, Lin Li, no need to worry, it was my over-excitement during gameplay previously that caused celestial phenomena, over time, the disturbance grew too large, and woke this kid up.

He thought perhaps it was some Demon Race mutation, and so came out of his coffin to check things out."

"Understood." Lin Li nodded, realizing.

This means maybe during my next visit, I'll be able to see the third great power.

"Lin Li, you've piled up a bunch of questions again, just right, he surely understands those cultivation issues, go ask him directly, while I tackle a boss, almost out of health."

After saying that, Shan Qing Daoist sat back in the computer chair he created, put on headphones again, and got ready for action.

Deng Wen helplessly yet disdainfully glanced at Shan Qing Daoist: "A disrespectful renegade, you truly are an unfilial grandfather, I'd say you should call Lin Li granddad."

Shan Qing Daoist shrugged without turning around, the voice carried was filled with playful sarcasm:

"Deng Wen, this phone and takeout were both bought by Lin Li for me, if you won't help, then give them back to me, then head back to your coffin and sleep."
