The Most Random System

The demons heard the shout and hurriedly grabbed the Judas pee and Satanic Scripture, running up the mountain while shouting, "Don’t be afraid, little goat, we’re here to help you fight the priest!"

The demons rushed to the mountain, panting heavily, and found not even a shadow of the priest.

Putwa Sheep laughed heartily, "That’s amusing, you’ve been fooled!"

The demons left angrily. The next day, Putwa Sheep repeated its trick, and the kind demons rushed up again to help fight the priest, but still, there was no priest in sight.

Putwa Sheep laughed so hard it practically bent over, "Ha ha! You’ve been fooled again! Ha ha!"

Everyone was very angry about Putwa Sheep repeatedly lying, and thereafter, no one believed it anymore.

A few days later, the priest actually came and barged into the crowd of children, frightening Putwa Sheep immensely. It desperately shouted to the demons, "The priest is coming! The priest is coming! Help me! The priest really came!"

The demons heard the shout and thought Putwa Sheep was lying again, so nobody paid it any attention. As a result, many of Putwa Sheep’s kids were killed by the priest.

Evidently, both the Cat Team and the Dog Team have heard this story.

However, this also relates to having only relatively well-behaved and good-natured cats and dogs accompanying you.

Upon seeing this, Lin Li looked at the system panel.

This week’s free refresh opportunity, since it allows specifying a keyword, hasn’t been used yet.

Originally, the thought was to see if any difficult challenge arises this week, then directly refresh for a desirable item, but this week remained calm and peaceful.

If not used soon, it’ll be a new week already.

Only one keyword can be given to the system, but even with the restriction, the range is still quite broad, and without knowing what’s actually there in the system’s "reward pool," it’s hard to say if what you need can be obtained.

Lin Li was thinking about it at night.

Ultimately, two keywords were considered: "long-term benefits" and "survival capability."

"Long-term benefits" actually is to try to get something similar to the "Celestial Being Certificate," an item to enjoy early on by buying it sooner rather than later.

Generally speaking, such items won’t bring much benefit in the short term, but if the timeline is extended, the cost-effectiveness becomes high.

As for "survival capability," that’s purely literal.

Chiefly, Lin Li feels that his current strength for venturing into the Otherworld is still a bit of a risk.

Last time, his leg was shot.

If "Hardening" hadn’t been activated in time, there might have been a chance of leaving a scar from the bullet.

Even though there are healing Pills, healing abilities, and a resurrection armor, with many safeguards indeed, but remember, if the success probability of overcoming tribulation is only ninety-eight percent, rounding up, how is that different from courting death?

It’s better not to get injured if it can be avoided.

After some thought, Lin Li chose the latter.

No matter the chances for going to the Otherworld this month or the Cultivation Realm next month, survival capabilities would seem useful.

Anyway, it isn’t as if once this village is passed, there won’t be another shop, no need to be overly concerned.

Specify the position of the "Celestial Device Talisman," then refresh.

[You’ve refreshed the "Hunter 4·Malleable Single-Soldier Combat Protection Liquid": 300 system currency (limited to one per day), replace it?]

["Hunter 4·Malleable Single-Soldier Combat Protection Liquid": High-strength body-adaptive combat protection liquid gold, which under almost no action impairment, can effectively resist a large amount of substantive physical or element damage.]

Looking at the popped-up message, it appeared quite decent.

Last night, an "Ability Amplifier (+2)" was bought, but used a "100-50 coupon," so only 70 currency was spent ultimately; now there are still 650 on the panel.

Alright, then buy one to taste the saltiness.

Upon receiving the notification of a successful purchase, Lin Li immediately manifested it.

A heavy metal box appeared on his hand.

The part touching his hand emitted a faint glow.

"Confirmation Ongoing"

"Confirmation Completed"

"Bound"

After two messages flashed across the metal box, a large amount of liquid metallic silver, like mercury, flowed out from the top opening.

These liquids didn’t just flow randomly, seemingly very much alive, when touching Lin Li’s fingers, it seemed like finding the sole host, coming to life.

They quickly spread along Lin Li’s fingers, palm, wrist, climbing upwards, moving quickly.

Lin Li could clearly feel a cold, smooth yet extremely resilient feeling wrapping over him.

Still quite kimoji.

Glancing at the standing mirror beside him, a bit of a venom feeling, except the color is a cold, fluid liquid metal silver.

Or say, more like the Iron Man armor’s nanorobot version?

Only that this color is relatively plain, not as flashy as Iron Man.

During the brief moment of contemplation, they had already adhered closely without leaving a seam, tightly sticking to every inch of Lin Li’s skin, and as the coverage expanded, rapidly adjusting thickness and density to suit different body parts’ needs—more flexible at the joints, seemingly thicker at the torso.

Thus gradually forming a second extremely fitting new skin with almost no sense of friction resistance.

As the liquid metal spread to Lin Li’s neck, a sense of connection like piloting a mecha formed in his mind.

An instant sense of unity like with a mecha appeared.

Lin Li raised an eyebrow. A thought, only to see the liquid metal covering his arm smoothly flowing as if an extension of his limb, locally thickening, thinning, intentionally retreating from his palm exposing original skin, then quickly covering back.

As you wish, as your mind desires.

With a thought, the cool liquid metal immediately spread upwards, covering his mouth and nose, lastly his eyes.

Lin Li was somewhat surprised, for although the vision was covered by a layer of silver film, light could still penetrate.

Though the clarity slightly decreased, it didn’t affect seeing things.

The same with the nose and mouth, breathing wasn’t blocked, the air’s entry resistance merely slightly increased, like wearing a mask, efficiency slightly reduced, but definitely within an acceptable range.

Unexpectedly still capable of full-body coverage.

Another thought, the liquid metal originally only covering the skin quickly spread upwards along the fibers of the school uniform, within a few breaths, completely enveloping the uniform.

Picking up the pen on the table, the liquid metal immediately split into a stream, covering it.

Such playability?

Lin Li threw the pen out.

But the mind couldn’t control the separated metal liquid anymore.

However, when Lin Li issued a command to return, they seemed to receive the directive, instantly retreating from the pen, crawling fast along the ground toward Lin Li.

Apparently, once separated from the "main force," precise control is impossible; the sole executable command is to return them.

Yet, still quite handy.

Looking at the metal box inside, it wasn’t entirely empty, nearly a quarter of the liquid metal remained inside.

Is this extra quantity?

With another thought, the remaining liquid metal also obeyed and surged to bond with Lin Li.

The portion on his body previously was only slightly more when covering his entire body completely, to ensure full protection, adjustments had to be made like "robbing from East Wall to patch West Wall," making certain areas thinner or defense weakened, but now with these, playability is higher.

Manipulating them wasn’t affected by increased quantity.

As Lin Li’s thought, these liquid metals gradually formed various structures like knives, swords, hammers, shields on his arm.

As long as they are still one entity, they can form any shape based on Lin Li’s wishes.

Ultimately, high-tech rubber mud?

Lin Li watched the shield gradually "melting" into a ball, wrapping his palm, becoming a knuckle guard, turning into a glove, morphing into a dagger, transforming into a beef stick, becoming a plane—

Lin Li: "OVO"

Idea king Lin Li, suddenly had an immature thought.

Chat off~(∠・ω<)⌒☆~

The flow of liquid metal gradually took a wrong turn.

...

Hiss——

Brothers, brothers.

Tried it.

No good, uncomfortable, not recommended.

Cannot be used for showing off.
