The Most Random System

If there’s a chance to humiliate Lin Li, Xue Jian might not miss it, but he doesn’t have such malicious intent towards other students besides Lin Bai. So upon hearing this, he immediately said warmly:

"Tianming, the teacher has reviewed your semifinals paper."

"It’s really a pity. Your answers to the basic questions were solid, and your thought process was clear. However, for the comprehensive questions at the end... how should I put it, your method was correct, but there were some deviations in the calculation steps in the middle, and the final result didn’t match completely.

Especially the question combining spatial geometry and sequences, you were just one or two steps away in terms of deduction and calculation."

"If you could ponder those questions a bit more, or be more careful in calculations, there was definitely hope for getting a third prize, which shows your ability is there, and your knowledge structure is well-built. It’s just that your on-the-spot performance and attention to detail need more practice, more proficiency."

"Not winning an award doesn’t mean there’s no gain," Xue Jian shifted the tone, becoming more affirmative,

"The fact that you took the initiative to participate in a competition of the Academic Intelligence Cup level is worth praising in itself. Courage and the desire to improve are more important than anything. Not every student has the courage to challenge themselves and try more difficult things. I admire this about you, daring to try and not fearing failure."

"This spirit of active participation is definitely worthy of commendation. When the school evaluates Three-Good Students or Outstanding Student Leaders, the teacher will use your active enrollment and challenge as an important reference and will prioritize you..."

Chen Tianming scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed by Xue Jian’s words, realizing Old Jian was truly comforting him, and in the end, everything he wanted to say turned into a simple "Thank you, Teacher."

Lin Li was very touched.

What a good teacher indeed.

Old Jian, I’ll continue learning from you next semester if there’s a chance.

Xue Jian smiled and looked at Wang Yuezhi and Chen Yu Ying: "You two as well, you’ve worked hard."

Lin Li: It’s my turn, it’s my turn.

"In summary, regarding the Academic Intelligence Cup..."

Why skip directly to the conclusion?

Lin Li: "Teacher, I think you treat students differently."

Xue Jian only then glanced at Lin Li, letting out a cold laugh:

"I wish I could treat everyone equally, but it’s not possible. You don’t even qualify for award evaluations. How can it be equal? Lin Li, if you plan on eating hotpot or anything in the exam room during the final exam again, next semester I’ll let you know what real different treatment means sooner or later."

Lin Li sighed helplessly.

People who excel are liked, but if you excel to another dimension, you will inevitably be ostracized. That seems to be my destiny.

Lin Li was very sorrowful.

What a bad teacher indeed.

Old Jian, I’ll continue learning from you next semester if there’s a chance.

"For students who win awards in the Academic Intelligence Cup, the school will provide certificates and prizes, but they will either be awarded at the start of the next semester during the grade-level assembly or the morning meeting, so this will have to wait..."

After Xue Jian said some other matters related to the competition, he then left.

"Corporal Chen Yu Ying, heed my command!"

"What’s up?" Chen Yu Ying turned her head with amusement to look at Lin Li, but then sighed: "It seems there were more mistakes in the questions than I expected. The questions I wrote might have had a few errors too, otherwise, there might have been a chance to get a first prize?"

"Why are you giggling and still making excuses here? A corporal is a corporal, in the continent of Nansang, only the final scores are respected. Hey! Aren’t you quickly paying respects to the Special Forces Lin Li yet!?"

"Mr. Special Forces, who can’t win awards, I’m a Nansang student, so I don’t recognize these out-of-town awards." Chen Yu Ying chuckled softly.

"Ah—there’s a point too, then let’s do this, let me beg you. After you win an internal school award, can I have my name added to the certificate? As long as you agree, let me lick your hand or foot after it’s washed!"

"Sure, I can even draw a heart, circle both our names together, then record a video of the act, first to show my mom, then together to my dad when I get home." Chen Yu Ying nodded.

"Very well! Great spirit! But there’s one step too many! Guess which one?"

"..."

Listening to this kind of conversation, Chen Tianming just shook his head and left.

Ha, not as good as Qiaoqiao.

And Wang Yuezhi, picked up the stick.

Don’t worry, he’s not planning on hitting Lin Li.

It’s just that with this stick, Wang Yuezhi feels his entire life is different, more of a sense of belonging and security—

Without the stick, he’s just little Wang QAQ.

But with a stick in his right hand, he instantly transforms into a clown TAT.

...

No longer playing around in the corridor, Lin Li returned to his seat.

Looked out the window, or should I say, looked at the system.

As he wished, after winning the highest Special Prize in the Academic Intelligence Cup, the task was completed.

[Task Four Completed.]

[You have received the reward: Title: Path Seeker; Physical Improvement: Enlightenment increased by 20%; Random Cultivation Technique*1; System Currency*150]

[Path Seeker: Increases enlightenment by 20% when equipped; enhances the power and effect of using Daoist techniques by an additional 100%, which is calculated separately from the physical improvement boost.]

[You have obtained "Lingxi Sun and Moon Dual Cultivation Technique."]

Lin Li: "(;☉_☉)!"

Wait a minute.

What kind of cultivation technique did I randomly get?

Without time to test this new title, Lin Li looked around to make sure no one was watching, then directly reached into the drawer and manifested the cultivation technique.

Then placed his hand on top of it.

You must know, ever since both cultivation level and divine sense have improved, Lin Li can now use divine sense for reading.

And although he couldn’t handle the cultivation techniques transcribed by Shanqing Daoist and Deng Wen, for the original techniques granted by the system, as long as they are fully translated, he only needs to cover the technique with his divine sense, and it will naturally rehearse in his mind.

If this dual cultivation technique truly is the dual cultivation technique he imagines it to be, rehearsing would be...

This might mean Lin Li can accomplish something extremely exaggerated...

At any time and place... mind! Sea! Watch! Clips!

How terrifying!

Cultivator, pretty powerful, right?

Thinking of this, while still listening to some trade class, Lin Li immediately set about translating it.

Compared to when he was researching the "Body Refining Eighth Rank Technique," the translation work now is entirely different. Back then, he needed to search computers everywhere for information and notes, and some words had to be guessed. Now, so-called translation is just slower, more meticulous reading.

And as he read, Lin Li felt both disappointed and pleasantly surprised.

The disappointing part was that this dual cultivation technique turned out to be a proper dual cultivation technique, not some bedchamber technique—

"Based on the principle of ’dual cultivation of life and fate,’ with ’spiritual communication being primary and physical intimacy as supplement’ as the core principle.

The vast majority of cultivation is achieved through the harmonization of breathing, thoughts, and energy, and only when the foundation is deep and the timing is perfect, will ’physical intimacy’ be used as a ’catalyst’ to trigger the innate energy for a leap in life..."

A lot of profound babble, but to summarize in plain speech, this technique consists of four stages, the first three stages involve no physical contact and are proper cultivation. Even the so-called ’physical intimacy’ in the fourth stage of Great Perfection is a very serious cultivation technology, aimed at using the great energy produced at specific times by the polarities of yin and yang to open the meridians, initiate a state, and is unrelated to lust.

Except for the last stage, which requires a symbolic hand-touching, the other phases only require sitting across from each other.

In his mind, as divine sense poured in, there appeared images of two little figures sitting opposite each other, starting to circulate their respective cultivation practices within their bodies, without the anticipated connecting segment.

There is no roomcraft either.

The object for dual cultivation, apart from attribute requirements, has no significant restrictions on cultivation level, it’s just that the higher cultivation level side gains lesser benefits.

If a suitable female cannot be found, as long as the other’s attributes complement your yin and yang, dual cultivation can even be done with male cultivators.

Lin Li looked at Bai Bufan.

"Bufan, are you willing to dual cultivate with me?"

Bai Bufan: "?"

"I’m gonna double*horse."
