The Most Random System-Chapter 473 - 292: Thanks for the invitation, I’m in a triad and recently very busy (seeking monthly tickets)
After leaving the internet cafe, Lin Li naturally returned home. He didn’t plan to continue studying and put aside his study materials, then materialized the "Basic Sword Technique".
Unfortunately, it wasn’t the kind of cultivation technique that directly imprints into the brain upon materialization—it was just another book.
Materializing the "Invisible Sword", Lin Li flipped through and studied it for a while.
Due to the increase in translation attempts and knowledge, he now could understand some meanings even without searching for references.
"Does the Basic Sword Technique include Sword Control?"
Lin Li, who could make sense of fragmented information from the beginning, exclaimed with some excitement.
Does it mean that he won’t need a mecha to fly in the future?
However, if he really wants to learn, he’ll need a full translation first.
After a quick browse, Lin Li turned on the computer, but not to start translating—
"Worst security areas in Nansang"
"Worst security areas in Xiling"
These contents appeared in the search box.
After thinking it through in the evening, Lin Li concluded that since he hadn’t encountered much theft or robbery so far in his life, if he doesn’t change his lifestyle, after a month, his task progress would certainly be zero.
If criminals won’t come to him, he can only approach them.
Hence, he definitely needs to know where the highest concentration of criminals is.
But the messages that popped up were unsatisfactory to Lin Li.
They were either complaints from over ten years ago, mentions that the issues were economic and ecological rather than security, or details from publicized cases.
Meaningless, even if the security was indeed bad originally, it’s likely improved by now.
After pondering for a while, Lin Li’s eyes lit up, and he took out his phone.
"Lin Li: Uncle."
"Yangliang: I’m not on night shift today, done for the day. But Lin Li, if you’re in a hurry, I can work overtime."
Lin Li suddenly felt quite sorry for Yangliang, having developed such severe PTSD.
"Lin Li: Uncle, I didn’t mean to ask you to work overtime. Rather, I wanted to ask, which area in Nansang or Xiling has the best security?"
Lin Li realized, whether asking Baidu or AI, it’s not as effective as asking Yangliang, the Demon Suppression Envoy.
The Demon Suppression Bureau is responsible for maintaining security, and theoretically, different bureaus should have evaluations within the same region, and superiors often need to convene meetings together, so a busy bureau with a lot of issues should be known among the envoys.
Moreover, Yangliang isn’t the lowest rank; he is assigned by the bureau.
As an insider, Yangliang definitely knows more and is close to the truth.
And what’s more, asking about the "best" naturally avoids raising suspicions when asking about the "worst".
Lin Li personally thinks, in Yangliang’s mind, he is not just an individual.
Of course, it’s personal belief, so perhaps still an individual.
"Yangliang: Why are you asking this?"
Not a hostile interrogation, good.
But telling the truth is impossible, once told, he’d definitely never tell him again, so—
"Lin Li: Nothing much, just the teacher asked us to do a small survey on happiness index in life. I thought asking you would be more convenient."
"Yangliang: You high school students are asked to do such things now?"
"Lin Li: To enrich extracurricular assignments, schools are like this nowadays."
"Yangliang: Oh, oh."
"Lin Li: So can you tell me, Uncle? If not, it’s fine, I’ll look up online info or conduct on-site inquiries just the same."
"It’s nothing that can’t be said," due to the inconvenience of typing, Yangliang directly called, "Security wise, our Sanqiao Community ranks high..."
"Uncle, slow down, I’m noting it down."
Lin Li immediately focused on the Xiling map on his computer, carefully marking big X’s on each area mentioned by Yangliang.
"How about the areas with poorer security?"
Seeing too few areas marked on the map, Lin Li switched tactics.
Thanks to Lin Li’s prior groundwork, Yangliang, upon hearing, barely hesitated before continuing without much defense:
"Xiling now, the environment could be considered a bit worse. That’s definitely only around the old city area, inevitable matters, lots of idle youth and non-studying kids there on Old Friend Road, each one fond of causing disturbances;
also East Lake District, where there’re more bars and KTVs. Once night falls and the alcohol hits, something always happens..."
Treasure found, Lin Li highlighted each region on the map.
Mostly on the map’s edges, some already technically not part of Xiling.
"...Anyway, these places get pretty chaotic at night, so definitely don’t go to these areas alone in the dead of night, it could be troubling." After introducing, Yangliang didn’t forget to caution him.
"You know me, don’t worry, Uncle Yang."
At the same time, putting on his shoes at the door and preparing to head to those areas alone at night, Lin Li habitually nodded seriously and responded.
"That’s exactly why I’m worried because I understand!" Yangliang accurately assessed him.
"Anyway, thanks, Uncle Yang, this information is very helpful for completing my task!"
"You’re welcome, indeed rare for you to contact me not to increase uncle’s workload, but for such proper matters, uncle’s quite pleased.
If you have similar needs in the future, you can always tell uncle, he will provide advice and assistance as much as possible."
From the other end of the line, Yangliang’s voice carried contentment and joy.
Lin Li: "..."
"Haha, okay."
Private marathon, Uncle Sauce, I’ve deceived you once again.
Ending the call, Lin Li did not hesitate to ride his bike to the path Yangliang pointed out for him.
