So let's say I got 2 numbers, 65 and 75, is there any way so Greenfoot only pick between 65 or 75? Thanks!

You randomly choose the amount of numbers you want to be picked from, then add the lowest number in your range.
Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(10) + 65;

int choice = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(2)*10+65

More generally, you could have something like this:
int[] nums = new int[] { 65, 75 }; // any set of values
int choice = nums[Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(nums.length)];

Never thought of using an array. Thanks! ^^

But, if you use an array and you want a random number chosen with the range of 65 to 75, then you will need to set each int variable that's part of the array to each of the numbers you want chosen from.
int[] nums = new int[] {65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75};
It can be done with a loop but you still need an initialization for each number you want to be able to choose from (instead of getting one variable which is randomly initialized with a number in your range).

sorry if I confuse you, but what I wanted actually is Greenfoot randomly pick from set of my own specific number (in this case, what I wanted is to pick only 65 or 75 and not any number between that) and in this case danpost's code fulfills what I needed ^.^ once again, thanks for the help!

I think the word "between" in your first post mixed me up.

What clued me in was "between 65 or 75" -- not and.
