The Most Random System

Chapter 1109 - 496: Sorry, Wrong Bed Underneath

In fairy tales, Cinderella’s magic only lasts until midnight, so when the hour draws near, she runs away.But once, she was in such a hurry that she couldn’t get her leg out, so the Prince held her leg and announced to the Kingdom that anyone who could perfectly fit this leg would become his wife.

A nice story.

Next time, I’ll tell it to Bufan. He quite likes the Satan versions of fairy tales.

——In the real world, after finishing evening self-study and returning home to wait for midnight, Lin Li’s mind was wandering with these random thoughts.

Soon, the clock struck twelve and Cinderella’s magic disappeared.

A new week has arrived.

Lin Li’s gaze turned to the system.

The words "[Update Completed]" popped up as usual, but if you ask what exactly gets updated weekly nowadays, don’t bother.

The important parts are only the reset of the "Mall Refresh Opportunity" and "Return Consumption".

Switch to the mall screen.

Compared to the initial emptiness, the current product slots now feel a bit "rich and colorful," counting slot 0 for a total of nine—

"Water-Repelling Pearl," "AS Interference Adhesive Shot," "Fortune Charm," "Universal Magic Treasure," "Ability Amplifier (+2)," "Life-extending Pill," "Feather Recovery Pill," "Proof of Telepathy," "Heavenly Machine Charm."

Although items like "Heavenly Machine Charm," "Water-Repelling Pearl," and "A Interference Adhesive Shot" aren’t necessarily worth keeping, the free refresh opportunity this week undoubtedly should be used on "Proof of Telepathy," a permanent limit purchase of 1 that has already been bought and is now merely occupying a slot.

[You have refreshed "Ability Amplifier (+4)": 160 system currency (daily limit purchase of 1), would you like to replace it?]

[Ability Amplifier (+4): Specify an already owned ability for use, permanently enhancing the effect of that ability, with enhancement capped at "+4".]

[You have triggered "Mall Mechanism·Probability Designation," the next "Refresh" will become "Direction-Specific Refresh."]

[Replace.]

Lin Li scratched his head; (+3) hasn’t been refreshed yet, and they’ve directly given me (+4), not following the sequence.

Still, it can be deduced that for each additional tier of the "Ability Amplifier," the price increases by 20 system currency, since (+1) sells for 100, (+2) for 120, and (+4) for 160 each.

Although I still want to continue enhancing my abilities, like "Parasitic Seed."

——The "Parasitic Seed" was retrieved from Chen Yu Ying by Lin Li tonight after school.

The digestion process is the same, only this time it didn’t end instantly as it did during the previous experiment—it lasted less than half a second.

As for the "growth" acquired, frankly, Lin Li didn’t feel much, maybe a deeper understanding of competitions?

Overall, it’s very subtle.

But that’s normal since Ying Bao was just living a regular life over the past day, detecting a 50% "growth" would be abnormal.

Lin Li isn’t disappointed by this "ability," everything was as expected.

There’s no need to rush the enhancement at the moment because the system currency is down to 310, barely enough to buy one, better to wait until it’s clear this ability has a more suitable use before proceeding.

Regarding the "Direction-Specific Refresh," it’s naturally triggered by the previously obtained mechanism—

["Mall Mechanism·Probability Designation":

When using this item, there’s a certain probability that refreshing products in the mall will turn "Refresh" into "Direction-Specific Refresh," during a "Direction-Specific Refresh," you can provide a keyword to the system, and the slots will definitely refresh to products related to that keyword.

The initial trigger probability is 10%, increasing by 10% each time the effect isn’t triggered, resetting to 10% after the effect triggers.]

Calculating since acquiring this ability, it’s been refreshed five or six times so it should trigger once now.

There’s still a "Mall Refresh Opportunity" reward in the warehouse, Lin Li could refresh immediately, but he’s honestly unsure if there’s anything particularly needed right now, no rush, maybe consider it next week.

Having finished considering matters related to the [Mall], Lin Li looked at [Return].

"Outside the Doomsday Refuge"

"Unnamed Node 2 (currently selected node)"

"Unnamed Node 3"

"..."

Switching nodes, Lin Li, who was already prepared for departure, reconfirmed he hadn’t overlooked anything and decisively clicked [Return].

A flash of white light.

The instant feeling of weightlessness caused by the disappearance of the white light hadn’t completely faded when Lin Li realized he was lying down.

He was in a defensive posture standing in the bathroom when preparing to depart.

It seems that if the [Return] point isn’t suitable for the posture during teleportation, there’ll be adaptive adjustments?

Lin Li considered this good news.

Because previously in the Doomsday World, he never revealed the specific teleportation points, every time he returned, he would choose a secluded spot to teleport for fear of someone placing something in the teleportation space.

Like putting a needle.

If the system were like the clogged toilet at Bao Wei’s house after having buffet that night—unable to understand proper waste disposal and stubbornly transported him to a fixed location, with the needle in relative space, would it end up directly inside him, causing a piercing chill?

But now, this worry is gone.

The system will shape him appropriately.

Understanding this, now what’s needed is to verify where exactly this new node has taken him.
