The Most Random System-Chapter 631 - 340: Enlightenment! Sudden Clarity!_3

"Is the white one AD Calcium milk?" Lin Li sneered.

"Hehe, no, it's Wangzai milk. I hope it wangs away that 'zai', and the red one is Wong Lo Kat." Bai Bufan grinned cheekily, rubbing his belly, "Dammit, milk tea, milk with tea always gives me the runs – hey, you, don't change the subject!"

Seeing Bai Bufan bring it up again, Lin Li scratched his head guiltily.

Last night, it really was a bit unfair of him.

"I thought Tianming was showing off! Who knew he just wanted some comfort..." Lin Li weakly defended, "You know, one of the reasons I have a high win rate in games is my ability to anticipate and seize the moment. I don't let others have the first move..."

"Making the first move means you're definitely a clown! Can't you understand that? What did you anticipate, huh?" But Bai Bufan wouldn't let Lin Li off the hook.

"I don't know, I've never been a clown, have you?" Lin Li immediately shook his head innocently.

Bai Bufan: "(;☉_☉)?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Uh... actually, I haven't either." Bai Bufan dared not meet Lin Li's eyes.

"But the kid didn't seem too bad, did he?"

Lin Li glanced over Bai Bufan at Chen Tianming by the back door, who was now sitting and writing.

Most likely doing homework, with a slight chance of writing a will.

"Hey, Bufan, don't you think 'If I fail at confessing, I'll jump down so you can have half a day off' is really a classic Chinese youth expression?

Combining friendship, love, school, carefreeness, pain, flutter, adolescence, destructive desire, Chinese education, and the search for value all in one."

Thus Lin Li, not waiting for Bai Bufan's answer, suddenly spoke again.

Bai Bufan: "..."

Sometimes, even he couldn't keep up with Lin Li's train of thought.

Lin Li was willing to say anything for a day off.

But, really, Tianming bro, will you jump? That way, I'll get my lost afternoon back.

"To be honest, I'm not sure either," Bai Bufan also turned to look at Chen Tianming, then shook his head:

"When I woke up, he seemed a lot better. Maybe Yao Qiaoqiao sent him something, anyway, he said he's alright.

But damn, it's even more frustrating seeing how hard Wang Ze and I tried to comfort him last night!"

"You guys just talked too much."

Bai Bufan flipped a middle finger, then seeing Zhou Baowei returning, asked, "Bao Wei, is there any stomach medicine left that Lin Li bought for you? Give me a pack."

"Oh, there are a few packets left. I'll get one for you."

Zhou Baowei nodded, opened the lock on his locker, took out the medicine he hadn't finished, and handed it to Bai Bufan.

As for why Zhou Baowei's locker even had a lock, don't ask.

The hot water should have been prepared earlier. Bai Bufan started preparing the stomach-care granules.

Hopefully, it really helps the stomach, Lin Li prayed in his heart.

After praying, Lin Li stretched, preparing the assignments he needed to complete tonight.

The evening self-study wasn't entirely over, with only a small portion remaining. Lin Li only hadn't finished the assignments given on Friday, not much, and generally, those without classes on Monday are due on Tuesday evening.

So for Lin Li, assignments won't become overwhelming due to extra classes, it's still quite manageable.

"Bufan." Suddenly, Lin Li looked at Bai Bufan.

"Speak your mind." Bai Bufan blew on his water cup, eyeing Lin Li warily.

"Do you think you can earn six thousand a month when you're twenty-three?"

The question Lin Li asked seemed quite random.

"Earning six thousand a month, who are you looking down on here? By then, I'll surely be financially free!" Bai Bufan said disdainfully.

"Money's gone, and you're financially free, right?" Lin Li chuckled.

Bai Bufan: "… Hey, Lin Li, your words really sting, you know."

"Hehe."

"So why are you asking this?" Seeing no follow-up, Bai Bufan frowned.

"Nothing, just asking." Lin Li waved it off.

Bai Bufan didn't look away, feeling a bad premonition.

Lin Li smiled reassuringly and dismissively.

Currently, the persona of outside twenty-three-year-old Bai Bufan indeed has a monthly income of six thousand.

While registering the information this afternoon, Lin Li thought about it a bit, too high seemed unrealistic—this income, this looks are your mom serious, too low might not be tempting enough, so with the agency's suggestion, he fabricated a six thousand figure.

After compiling all the info, the agency actually said they could try to contact now, but Lin Li refused.

The priority is, of course, completing tasks via events—events are fewer hassles and easier.

Moreover, contacting now means you can't have dinner; arranging it in advance is pointless, you might end up needing to exchange contacts and chat, what a hassle.

After all, there's no deadline for the task, no rush.

Lin Li also asked if he could bring someone to the dating event, and the agency said as long as you pay, it's no problem.

Once the event is confirmed, they'll notify him first thing.

By then, he'll ask the "Three Dog" for their opinions.

As for the remaining time this afternoon, Lin Li went swimming at Nansang Sports Center, progressed his task a bit, and then went to school.

...

Evening self-study.

"Let's go." A pat on the shoulder caused Lin Li to shudder slightly; he turned to see it was Chen Yu Ying.

It was now 6:20, the evening self-study had begun twenty minutes ago, and the competition prep began at 6:40.

It only took a few minutes to walk over, but the first day might be worth going early to check things out.

"Scaredy-cat~" noticing Lin Li's startled reaction, Chen Yu Ying laughed.

Lin Li remained silent.

Hehe, baby, I'm a cultivator, noticed you getting up already, just pretended otherwise, just to mess with you on purpose.

"~Sca~redy~cat~" hearing this, Bai Bufan also glanced over, positioning his face so Lin Li could see it but Yu Ying couldn't, making goofy expressions and repeating.

Ignoring this punk's disgusting act, Lin Li began searching for pen and paper.

"Hold my cup for me, I'm going to wash my hands, wait for me by the staircase." Chen Yu Ying showed the ink stain on her palm and, not waiting for Lin Li, briskly walked out first.

"Okay."

Lin Li, Wang Yuezhi, and Zhuo Yongfei got up together and headed out.

"Huh?" Lin Li frowned.

Because Zhang Haoyang, wearing a Sima expression, heard the noise and upon seeing who it was, also stood up.

"Haoyang, weren't you not coming?" Lin Li paused, curiously inquiring.

"My mom." Zhang Haoyang summed it up in two words, and after speaking, sighed.

Seemed like a forced change of will.

So Lin Li asked, "Your mom forced you?"

"Yeah." Zhang Haoyang nodded, "Said I must join, well, whatever, joining is joining, just a waste of time even if I get out in one round."

Lin Li: "Your mom's forcing you too harshly."

Zhang Haoyang was about to nod in agreement but then stared at Lin Li: "…Lin Li, why do I feel like you're looking for a chance to insult me?"

"Yeah." Lin Li nodded calmly, what else?

"Your mom 'beep—'!"

"Nah, all my moms are very open-minded, respect my personal choices." Lin Li grinned gleefully.

"Which mom are you referring to?"

"Met over twenty through Dota."

"Damn idiot."

"What's the problem what's the problem what's the problem."

"Is it time already? So soon, wait for me, you two."

Unexpectedly, when the two exchanging ancestral feelings reached the back door, Chen Tianming looked at the clock in the front of the classroom and also packed his paper and pen to leave.

"Tianming? What are you doing?" Zhang Haoyang and Lin Li stopped, both a little puzzled.

"I'm also going to the competition prep." Chen Tianming replied, concise and straightforward.

"Huh?"

"I signed up too." he added.

"When did this happen?" But the two were even more confused.

Chen Tianming wasn't bad at math, scoring over 120 in the last test, but for competitions, it was a bit of a stretch.

"Over the weekend," Chen Tianming stepped outside, calmly saying: "Qiaoqiao is also participating in this competition, so after I found out, I messaged Old Jian to sign up. He agreed and said my attitude is commendable, participation matters most."

Oh shit, that's a secondhand hit.

Lin Li and Zhang Haoyang chose silence, exchanged glances.

—This matter involves Yao Qiaoqiao, you gotta be careful what you say, in case a word makes Chen Tianming shed a tear and he jumps off the building.

Jumping off was only going to give you half a day off, but doing it during a classless night—you'd be wasting it.

Seemingly noticing the suddenly low pressure, Chen Tianming chuckled, waving it off:

"Don't worry, say whatever you want, I've already figured things out."

"After reading a book at noon, my mind's now clear."

Chen Tianming pumped his fist, encouraged himself, wearing a sunny smile, full of spirit.

"Oh shit, what book has such a good motivational effect?" Seeing Chen Tianming say so, the atmosphere livened up slightly again, Lin Li and Zhang Haoyang were curious.

Chen Tianming: "The instructions for a laxative."
