The Most Random System

Chapter 1016: Chapter 463: Ancient Directory—Searched a Few, Found Most Already Closed, Business Is Hard Nowadays_3

It’s really the main event.

Great, Nansang Middle School still has hope.

The grand finale ended, and the school leaders gave a brief speech, which also meant the New Year’s Eve party was over.

There were still a few minutes before the official end of evening self-study, but just right, the classes of both grades began to move desks and chairs, intending to clear space in the classrooms and corridors according to their own plans, in preparation for tomorrow morning’s garden party.

A few minutes are definitely not enough, but the garden party doesn’t start right as we enter the school in the morning, so the remaining setup can wait until tomorrow morning.

At home, because Chen Yu Ying had a phone, I chatted with her for a while and coaxed her to sleep.

After Wu Min had been in the master bedroom for a while and was probably asleep, Lin Li went to the All-Women World.

Actually, I wanted to go from the beginning.

But unsurprisingly, this week’s time flow ratio became 1:80, and the limit for staying became 10 hours, meaning if I stayed in the All-Women World for the full ten hours, reality would no longer just disappear for a minute as it initially did, but would be gone for over seven minutes.

Seven minutes isn’t long for sure, but it certainly isn’t short either, so I should play it safe.

All-Women World.

"Mr. Lin, you’re back," Zhu Ning noticed Lin Li’s arrival and greeted him.

"Hmm." Lin Li nodded and then tossed a pill to her, "Take this, it might increase your efficiency."

"Hmm? What is this..."

"Hand" wriggled out from the body to catch the pill. Although Zhu Ning instinctively asked, she had already absorbed the pill into her body, aligning it with the "Feather Recovery Pill" that had not yet been fully digested.

"It’s also a pill, theoretically it can speed up your thinking and help you focus more," Lin Li explained.

The reward for the evening party phone task was [Physical Improvement: 100% increase in magic effect; Random Pill *1; System Currency *100].

And among the random pills was the "Clear Wisdom and Heart Pill" just given to Zhu Ning.

["Clear Wisdom and Heart Pill": Upon consumption, depending on the degree of absorption, it can cleanse distractions and fatigue from the Divine Sense for 12-24 hours, making the mind clear and significantly speeding up thinking.

Greatly enhances focus, making one less likely to be distracted by external objects, and greatly improves the efficiency of understanding complex cultivation techniques, talismans, and array principles.

After the effect wears off, the Divine Sense will feel fatigued and require rest to recover.

This pill has minimal effect on cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above.]

Shanqing Daoist and Deng Wen left behind a record of this pill in their Cultivation Realm encyclopedia; it’s a common low-grade pill.

And since it’s not a permanent benefit, Lin Li didn’t mind a day or two and decided to give it to Zhu Ning to improve the chances of escape.

"...Seems like I can feel it." Zhu Ning’s voice became pleasant, slightly laughing, "I feel a cool sensation; my thoughts seem much clearer."

"Then make the most of this state and ’work’ hard. Once the effects wear off, you’ll enter a brief mental lethargy—of course, overall, it’s definitely a gain."

Lin Li nodded, manifested his gourd, patted it, and gestured.

"Okay."

Though most of the time Lin Li was rather idle, time still flew by quickly in terms of hours.

The pill seemed to have an effect. When Lin Li, following Zhu Ning’s request, returned with the wreckage and parts needed from the canyon bottom, he had already seen the prototype of the flying device, and its efficiency seemed much higher than before.

The flying device was medium-sized but mostly comprised of relatively crude-looking connected components, leaving very little space for the two to sit, with no protective measures — not because it was a semi-finished product, but the future finished version wouldn’t have any either.

Zhu Ning didn’t have the energy or ability to consider safety measures.

But Lin Li wasn’t worried about his life safety if the flying device failed because he had the "Solid as a Rock" ability. As for Zhu Ning’s safety, Lin Li had been preparing for this since two weeks ago and should be able to save her if necessary.

But hopefully, it will succeed.

"Any issues or needs? I’m about to leave, and next time we meet, it might be our last chance." Checking the remaining system time, Lin Li asked.

Immersed in ’work’, Zhu Ning looked up at the words and then nodded:

"Theoretically, there’s no problem, because with your pill, the progress has been much faster than I anticipated. If all goes well, I’ll need a few more hours to complete the build.

But, Mr. Lin, as you know, my experience with your world’s technology amounts to just a few dozen hours, and the integration of the two worlds’ technology and components is unprecedented.

Not to mention that even I barely know anything about Silence Canyon.

While I don’t want to sound pessimistic, it’s hard to ensure everything will develop perfectly according to theory and expectation; I can only try my best."

Zhu Ning smiled somewhat helplessly.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate; I will try to adjust when the time comes." Lin Li wasn’t disappointed with this answer, nodding in response.

Soon, the remaining time was exhausted.

"See you next time."

Worried Wu Min might get up in the night, Lin Li both left and returned from the bedroom this time.

He glanced at the phone; it was already past midnight.

December 31st, the last day of the solar calendar.

Beyond the calendar, there were also messages on the phone.

"Bai Bufan: The flight still took off, countless lives disappeared from in front of my eyes, and as the captain, I could do nothing but hold the joystick tightly. What’s worse, the internet suddenly disconnected, and we crashed into the largest casino in Macau."

"Bai Bufan: Lin Li, men always pretend to be saints when deleting and become demons when finding, feeling they shouldn’t act like this afterward, but after some time, feel they shouldn’t shortchange themselves."

"Bai Bufan: But this time, I’m determined."

"Bai Bufan: I won’t engage in such sordid things this year! This is my declaration of the final battle with everything at stake!"

"Lin Li: Excessive abstinence and overindulgence are both inappropriate."

"Lin Li: My plan for this year is to do it 12 times; moderate release is beneficial for physical and mental health." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Bai Bufan: Gentle reminder: Today is the 31st, not the 1st."

"Lin Li: I know."

"Bai Bufan: OK."

"Bai Bufan: Then you’ve moderated it appropriately ’heart sign’."
