The Most Random System

"So much static electricity in the winter, damn."

Bai Bufan grumbled, both resentful and helpless, after just getting shocked again by touching his own backpack.

Today, he was struck unexpectedly by static electricity several times, giving him a bit of PTSD—before touching anything, he would even touch the wall or floor first.

At this moment, Bai Bufan envied the prisoners of ancient times.

Because they had iron chains and iron balls tied to their ankles, which served as a grounding line, perfectly releasing excess charges from their bodies to avoid static electricity; it could be considered a benefit for prisoners.

"That’s how winter is. Don’t you see in CEO novels, the heroine can always see the CEO’s chiseled side profile at night? It’s the static electricity crackling when clothes come off—I’m off, Bufan, see you at the library tomorrow."

The culprit of all this "static electricity" casually said a line, then got up with an innocent look and prepared to leave.

After testing Bufan with electric shocks, [Path Seeker] proved to be quite a formidable title.

It provides a 100% increase that is independent and not diluted by previous gains:

If Lin Li now received a 100% enhancement in magic power for physical improvement, based on an existing 250% increase, it wouldn’t increase by even 30%, but with this title, wearing it simply doubles the pre-wearing value.

"Alright, I must hurry back to the dorm to attend to my business, see you at the library tomorrow."

Bai Bufan nodded, got up, and walked out of the classroom.

It was after school time.

"Ha, you’re busy with serious business? What can you possibly be busy with?" Lin Li asked disdainfully while going downstairs together.

Bai Bufan shot a calm, unflappable look at Lin Li, then with a disdainful expression full of ’a rotten log cannot be carved’, he said coolly:

"Lin Li, let me tell you a parable."

"Long, long ago, in a valley, there were three guardians. They were a cunning fox, a fierce wolf, and a gentle deer."

"They took turns guarding this valley, and although they had differing opinions, they managed to coexist peacefully."

"One day, the fox asked the wolf, ’Wolf, whose turn is it to guard the valley today?’"

"The wolf said, ’It’s the deer’s turn.’"

"The fox said, ’Oh, that reminds me, Wolf, you’re right, today is the deer’s turn.’"

"At that moment, the fools in the valley appeared, asking the fox and the wolf for help, ’Dear Guardians, are you busy right now? We have encountered some difficulties and need...’"

"The fox and the wolf interrupted the fools, apologetically shook their heads, ’We’re not busy with anything, just that today is the deer’s day, so we must return to our dormitory now. Come to us on a non-deer’s day instead.’"

"All the fools realized, respectfully watched the fox and wolf leave, and murmured softly, ’Indeed... today is the deer’s day.’"

The parable concluded as the two had just walked from the second floor to the first floor.

The conversation abruptly ended, Bai Bufan gave Lin Li a wise look full of detachment, turned, and branched off from Lin Li, who was heading towards the school gate, his back solitary and tall.

Lin Li respectfully watched Bai Bufan leave, murmuring softly, "Indeed... today is the deer’s day."

What a great parable story...

What a bunch of crap!!

"Your version of the parable is just as ridiculous as all those fairy tales I’ve heard, ridiculous!"

Lin Li couldn’t help but raise a middle finger at Bai Bufan’s back, laughing and cursing.

Real men never look back at explosions, Bai Bufan just raised his hand above his head and waved.

Lin Li chuckled, quickened his pace towards the school gate, and rode his bike home.

After changing into casual wear and grabbing a simple dinner downstairs, Lin Li took a cab to the suburban spot sent by the broker in WeChat.

—Tonight he planned to rent a warehouse.

Since it takes a long time to charge the Mecha, if he doesn’t rent a warehouse, relying solely on the charging device given by the Mecha World to fully charge in the Doomsday World would be quite troublesome.

As for the broker, Brother Sun introduced him, but because renting a warehouse won’t involve any particularly large transactions today, he won’t accompany Lin Li, leaving Lin Li to negotiate directly with the broker.

The warehouses planned for viewing were all in the suburbs—they offer cheap rent and reduce the potential for future trouble due to their secluded location.

To put it simply, there’s even a warehouse in the neighborhood, but renting that would easily draw attention from neighbors asking about what’s being stored or where the money is coming from, and eventually the word would reach Wu Min, which isn’t necessary.

Upon reaching the destination, Yu Hui—the broker introduced by Brother Sun—hadn’t arrived yet, so Lin Li took a stroll around the nearby warehouse, surveying the situation.

Having discussed some requirements online for preliminary screening, this warehouse wasn’t very large, roughly about fifty square meters, and the ceiling height was over four meters, the highest point around five meters, more than enough to store a Mecha.

It had only one window with curtains blocking the view, making it hard to see inside clearly right now.

But that’s exactly what Lin Li needed—if there weren’t curtains blocking the view, perhaps a skylight from above, Lin Li would have to reconsider.

In fact, a warehouse without windows at all would be best for Lin Li.

After about ten minutes, Yu Hui finally arrived on an electric bike.
