The Most Random System-Chapter 795 - 391: The Best Age for Crime Is First Ten Years Ago, Then Now (Part 2)

A power outage is something nobody wants to encounter, as it significantly disrupts the study and teaching plans of both teachers and students, and frequent occurrences would lower the outside world's evaluation of our school.

This is a situation none of us, including you, wish to see. So, I have mustered up the courage to make this request, hoping you will consider it."

This is Lin Li's true purpose today, and the solution he thought of upon seeing the task on Thursday.

The task required him to persuade the school to repair the school's main array, and Lin Li immediately thought of the principal, because without someone with authority, the requirements couldn't be met.

Without the principal's approval, matters involving logistical facilities couldn't be discussed at all.

Considering a power outage isn't a major issue and isn't frequent, it wouldn't attract attention; thus, if one were to simply send a note to the "Principal's Mailbox" or let Xue Jian relay it, Lin Li reckoned it wouldn't be adopted until God knows when, let alone involving himself.

Besides, the school's Principal's Mailbox is a joke.

It claims to accept anonymous submissions, conveying any suggestion or criticism about any staff member to the principal.

But, damn it, there's a surveillance camera pointed right at this mailbox from the top corner of the left wall.

Is this something a human would think of?

But now, the situation is different.

With the banner hanging high and the Demon Suppression Envoy beside him, making a request that seems both concerned for the school and reasonable at this time increases the success rate significantly.

Yan Aosong's visit today to deliver the banner and conduct an interview was precisely because Lin Li made the request to him on Thursday night.

Initially, Yan Aosong was worried about a trap and instinctively didn't want to agree.

Lin Li didn't want to do this, but Yan Aosong's firm refusal forced Lin Li to use unconventional means:

"Uncle, I'd like to visit your house this week and play for two whole days; don't worry, Uncle, I'll get along well with Auntie and your kid, I'm almost impatient."

"I've prepared lots of conversation topics with your family."

"For example, does your kid like Ultraman Tiga? I can tell him why three thousand years ago Tiga didn't like Camilla, because three thousand years ago Tiga's original form was dark, and Camilla's weapon was a whip."

"I can teach him morality and the rule of law."

"And Auntie, does she play Little Red Book? Has she awakened? I've got a yellow card in Little Red Book; I can show Auntie how to navigate the internet during that time."

"..."

Then Yan Aosong agreed.

Just looking at that chat record made Yan Aosong break out in a cold sweat.

The evil of human nature was fully displayed at this moment.

Family should not be involved in such matters, but words like these have no meaning to a despicable person like Lin Li.

—Trivia: Babies do not have fingerprints before the age of three months, making it hard to leave traces when committing a crime, which is also where the term "baby villain" comes from.

Of course, even though Lin Li used inappropriate means, it wasn't entirely through connections that the banner and the interview were achieved.

What Lin Li had done before had already met the threshold—regardless of the active attempts; catching the pickpocket in the shopping district that one time deserved commendation too.

It's just that Lin Li had consistently refused and expressed no need before, but now he just needs it.

So, after privately inquiring about Lin Li's real purpose, although Yan Aosong still didn't understand why Lin Li was doing this, he begrudgingly accepted it, reluctantly.

Seeing the principal still in a hesitant daze, Lin Li glanced at Yan Aosong and Sheng Zhanpeng, as if remembering something, and reminded them:

"Uncle Yan, Brother Sheng, this isn't my interview statement, it's not for you, don't record it, and definitely don't include it in the report."

"Yes, of course, I know that." Yan Aosong nodded casually, his gaze naturally shifting back to Principal Wang.

Principal Wang came to his senses and first habitually explained to Yan Aosong and the others:

"Regarding the power facilities, our school always has regular maintenance plans. The unexpected power outage last week was indeed an extremely rare occurrence..."

Then he turned to Lin Li, wearing a gentle and approving smile again:

"But, Lin Li, your intention is good. Although we consistently maintain facilities, it's undeniable that the issue of aging does objectively exist, and indeed, it's time for some renovation and repair.

Lin Li, this shouldn't be considered a request, but something our school should do. Rest assured, I'll start handling this matter right away. This thing needs to follow procedures, but if we act quickly, you'll see preliminary results in two weeks."

It's not a big deal, nor does it require much funding, and it indeed benefits the school, so it can be agreed upon.

Moreover, it would be inappropriate for Principal Wang to refuse such a request in front of Yan Aosong and Sheng Zhanpeng.

It would be a disgrace to "govern the school effectively and exemplify great love, instill virtues silently and cultivate talents"!

Lin Li's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

Being a galgame expert, Lin Li knew all too well that before reaching the critical points in many matters, one needs to raise the favorability level to trigger the storyline he desires.

And the coordination during delivering the banner and the interview was all to raise that favorability.

Anyone who's played masterpieces like "Rebirth on Loli Island" would understand how to conquer uncle-type characters like the principal.

However, speaking of galgame experts, Zhang Haoyang still takes the crown.

Friends who enjoy playing galgame know that once you've played many of these games, the high level of similarity makes it hard to find the initial immersion and engagement.
