The Most Random System-Chapter 815 - 398: Wu Huizhen Feels She Can’t Tell the Jokers Apart Anymore
Lin Li is playing on his smartphone.
So magical.
Lin Li discovered that when he tapped the "Airplane" icon in the smartphone status bar, the nearby "Mobile Data" icon, which looked like the Twin Towers, would dim.
Smartphones are magical, aren’t they?
"Click."
Hearing the sound from behind, Lin Li turned to look at Li Pingxing, who had come back from the bathroom.
"Sasuke, shall we continue?" Lin Li put down his phone and raised his chin, asking.
"Alright, teacher." Li Zashu nodded, took a deep breath, burdened with the weight of the crown, and sat at the desk.
The two continued the lesson.
[Accept the commission and sincerely teach the cultivator for three hours (2/3)]
A message popped up.
(1/3) was when Lin Li presented the "Crown Prince is a milky dragon" theory to motivate Sasuke, less than ten minutes later the system notification popped up.
Now, Lin Li had deduced the criteria for "one hour": it required one hour of lecture time with spoken instruction.
Previously, even though a full hour had passed, it wasn’t counted. Lin Li believed it was because the time Sasuke and the milky dragon were doing homework without any guidance from him wasn’t counted.
Furthermore, if Sasuke was found to be distracted but Lin Li didn’t remind him and just lectured, it wouldn’t be recognized by the system.
Perhaps it’s because doing so indicates a lack of sincere teaching.
Lin Li was glad he arrived early today; otherwise, the task might not be completed tonight.
After all, for this requirement of "one hour," the actual time needed will definitely exceed one hour — there has to be rest time and time for Sasuke to think for himself. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
But fortunately, tonight Lin Li came straight to Wu Huizhen’s house after dinner.
It’s only just past eight twenty now.
At the fastest, it could be done by nine thirty; at the slowest, before ten.
This time is late, no doubt, but Sasuke and Wu Huizhen should both be able to accept it.
Lin Li didn’t want to give up either, as splitting the task into two sessions would be quite troublesome — one cannot say a trial lesson is split into two, after all.
"Sasuke, don’t get distracted, remember your grand aspiration." Noticing Li Zashu seemed distracted, Lin Li immediately reminded him warmly.
"Sorry, teacher."
Sasuke shivered, and his unfocused pupils regained focus.
He instinctively glanced at the tightly closed room door, outside which the challenge of "I am the milky dragon" faintly echoed.
Damn it.
I am the milky dragon!
With a silent roar in his heart, the fatigue from high-intensity studying couldn’t help but make him sigh; he didn’t know how long it had been since he’d studied so seriously for such a long time, so Li Zashu couldn’t help but ask:
"Teacher, is the path of the milky dragon always so painful? Or is it only like this when we’re young?"
F*ck, "This Milky Dragon Doesn’t Milk Much."
Lin Li calmly shook his head:
"The struggle for the milky dragon has always been so; with the change of the title, it is already merciful. Your Highness must strive forward unyieldingly, lest you betray your heart."
"The student understands!" Sasuke replied, clenching his teeth, and nodding firmly.
Hanging one’s head on a beam, poking one’s thigh with an awl—this is my resolve to become the milky dragon!
Sasuke looked up at the ceiling; hanging his head was difficult, so with resolve, he picked up the pen on the desk and stabbed it into his thigh.
"?"
Lin Li: "Why are you stabbing my thigh?"
Listening to Lin Li’s sharp intake of breath, Sasuke felt much more awake.
"Teacher, I wanted to lift my spirits, but I stabbed the wrong place."
"Alright."
...
[Task Five completed.]
[You have received rewards: Physical Improvement: Comprehension increased by 10%, Magic effect improved by 50%; System Currency*100]
Seeing the message from the system, Lin Li sighed with relief.
The time was about what he expected; the teaching went on until nine forty in the evening.
No way around it; as the lesson went on, Sasuke found it increasingly difficult to maintain focus.
After nine o’clock, even Wu Huizhen came in surprised a few times—she initially thought Li Pingxing lasting until eight thirty was already a miracle.
"Sasuke, let’s call it a night; you’ve worked hard." Lin Li stabbed a few apple slices with a toothpick, which had turned yellow from oxidation, and stretched lazily as he stood up.
"Ah—" Li Zashu sighed with relief but then looked at Lin Li with determined eyes, seeking final affirmation:
"Teacher, do you think now... who is more qualified to become... the milky dragon?"
"Of course, it’s you!" Lin Li didn’t hesitate to give a thumbs up, declaring decisively, "If only one dragon can be revered in this world, I affirm that none but you, Sasuke, are suitable!"
"You are not far from that throne!"
"Thank you, teacher!" Receiving this attestation from Imperial Tutor Lin Li, Sasuke’s face bloomed with pure and excited joy, as if every bit of fatigue was worth it.
Life is finally heading in the right direction!
"My mission is complete; as for who should hold the title of the milky dragon, I have seen the answer—it’s a foregone conclusion." Lin Li headed towards the door, with a hint of farewell in his tone, "Sasuke, the mountains are high, and the waters are long; we may meet again one day."
—Since the system hadn’t triggered any additional tasks, Lin Li certainly wasn’t going to be a regular tutor. Time to slip away.
"Teacher, wait!"
"What’s up?" Lin Li turned back.
"Teacher, I don’t want this to be our last meeting. As the Imperial Tutor, would you like to join the organization I’m creating? My organization needs someone like you, a wise mind!" Li Zashu’s eyes were earnest and his tone firm yet yearning.
Lin Li raised an eyebrow, it seemed like he had mentioned something about this before.
Considering that Li Zashu had perfectly cooperated with completing the task tonight, Lin Li was naturally not stingy in providing some emotional value for him as well.
So, Lin Li decisively displayed a very interested look and asked, "Oh? Your Highness, what’s the name of your organization, and what does it do?"
