The Most Random System

Chapter 1040: Chapter 472: This Scene Looks Impressive, But It’s Hard to Actually Pull Off

It’s hard to imagine there’s someone in this world who thinks Earth’s rotation is an act of courtship directed at them.

But considering that these words came from her own son, hmm, that’s actually kind of normal.

In fact, it’s even quite restrained.

"The Earth attracts more than just you; at most, you’re a backup." But despite it being normal, Wu Min still had to retort annoyedly.

"What? The Earth has already started preparing for a fetus because of me?" Lin Li said, somewhat embarrassed, "This, this isn’t quite right... Feels kind of too fast... Mom, could you discuss with the relatives... maybe delay it a bit..."

Seeing Lin Li acting shy, twisting the corner of his clothes with both hands, turning sideways, and spinning his toe on the ground, Wu Min—"☉_☉."

Everyone, now you understand why I said "in fact, it’s even quite restrained"?

Wu Min sighed. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Who told you that backup refers to a fetus?

The word you were looking for should bloody well be prenatal planning.

"Go, go, go, don’t go. Even if you want to go, Mom doesn’t want to take you. They’ll be envious of me, and then your mom won’t be able to show her face at the mahjong table. I already have a headache thinking about the banquet tomorrow night..."

Rubbing her temples, Wu Min began to regret inviting Lin Li just now, waving to shoo away this big fly in front of her:

"Quickly put your things down; I’ll call you later when it’s time."

"Alright," Lin Li nodded, but then he turned around to look at Wu Min: "Mom, are you driving to Auntie’s house later?" freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Hmm? What’s up? Are you planning to go out tonight and need the car?" Wu Min didn’t directly answer but asked back.

"I’m not sure, maybe, I might have that plan. If you need the car, just take it. If I need to go out, I’ll figure something out." Lin Li shrugged.

"No need, I won’t drive. I’ll let another aunt farther away pick me up on her way. If you go out tonight, be careful and don’t drive too fast. The real traffic conditions differ greatly from driving school tests. I suggest sticking to thirty or forty kilometers per hour..."

Since she had already given Lin Li the spare car keys a few days ago, Wu Min just reminded him about safety precautions.

"Got it, got it——"

...

"Bang."

The sound of the front door closing in the living room reached Lin Li’s ears through the bedroom door.

Glancing at the phone, the time was just past six.

Sneakily watching from the balcony as Wu Min got into the car picking her up and left, Lin Li then proceeded to change clothes.

Hmm, and he went to the bathroom to simulate a flight three times in a row until the beautiful croupier couldn’t deal the cards anymore.

It’s not some perverted behavior, just a guy trying to gather as much as possible, increasing the odds of completing "Mission Five."

When everything was ready, he spent 20 System Currency, and a flash of white light appeared before him.

Perhaps, with the experience from previous times, he now had an estimate of the return time, so this time when Lin Li appeared at the canyon base, Zhu Ning noticed immediately.

"Mr. Lin!"

"Hmm."

After a brief hello, Lin Li’s gaze went through the semi-transparent body towards the two still-forming pills, noticing that the "Clear Wisdom and Heart Pill" was smaller in size than the "Feather Recovery Pill," despite the latter being consumed earlier.

"The ’Clear Wisdom and Heart Pill’ is still working, right?" Lin Li confirmed.

"Yes, I still feel mentally clear, and I haven’t reached the backlash stage you mentioned." Zhu Ning nodded.

"Let’s hope it lasts until we leave."

The efficacy of the "Clear Wisdom and Heart Pill" depends on the cultivator’s ability to digest it, lasting between 12 to 24 hours. Since Zhu Ning was an ordinary person, Lin Li worried her absorption wouldn’t be very high. If it’s just 12 hours, the effect would be over in another three hours.

"Then let’s hurry. Ideally, this should be my last visit in the short term, and I’ve brought these items this time. See if there’s anything useful..."

"I’ll do my best. So far, it looks promising."

Zhu Ning looked at the flying device taking shape beside her, nodding heavily, understanding Lin Li’s intention.

...

[4.05.22]

Unknowingly, almost six hours had passed, leaving only four hours until a forced return.

The "Clear Wisdom and Heart Pill" was still working on Zhu Ning, but from its size, it was close to being fully absorbed.

"Glug, glug——"

Bubbles appeared on Zhu Ning’s body, equivalent to an Earthly person taking a deep breath.

The flying device before them was still rudimentary, with the shell made by crudely welding relatively intact armor plates selected from remnants, with burrs visible in the seams that couldn’t be dealt with in time.

But in such little time, you can’t ask for a bicycle.

Zhu Ning carefully pressed a button, and the entire device lit up instantly. Blue-white arcs danced across the exposed circuits, while a few cobbled-together components—dubbed vector nozzles by Zhu Ning—sourced from the canyon’s debris, emitted a low hum that quickly turned to a shrill whine.

In the "Silent Field," such local parts were not supposed to work in theory, but Zhu Ning managed to make them barely usable by connecting them with modern circuitry. Although they couldn’t perform at full capacity and had a high chance of malfunctioning, being able to function at all was a major step forward.

Modern electronic components, especially sensors and control chips, performed steadily within the canyon’s silent field. Zhu Ning used them to build a basic flight control system, which was relatively secure.
