When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 142: Chapter 131: Course_2

Students of the Liberal Arts College need to choose a specialty due to their orientation toward various professions in life, such as doctors, teachers, technology, etc. This decision is made by the system they awaken.

However, the Martial Arts College does not differentiate between specialties. People choose the Martial Arts College because their system abilities relate to martial cultivation, which requires fighting, and occasionally capturing a couple of desolate beasts for practice.

Xiang Beifei briefly looked over the mandatory courses of the Martial Arts College, which included: "Desolate Beast Cognition and Anatomy," "Outer Domain Desolate Land Simulation," "Jiuzhou Alliance Defense Introduction," "System Ability Analysis and Processing."

The Jiuzhou Alliance requires martial artists to guard its territory. Learning to combat desolate beasts is a necessity for every martial artist, so the mandatory courses involve a lot of knowledge about these creatures.

There is a vast array of elective courses, including "Magic Knowledge Specialization," "Physical Attack Specialization," "Defense Ability Specialization," "Criminal Investigation," "Criminal Psychology," "Firearms Study," "Desolate Beast Black Tech Tools Study," "All Heavens Knowledge Theory Studies," "Film Appreciation," "Combat Training," "Novel Appreciation," "Mechanical Manufacturing," "Formation Knowledge Introduction," "Rune Knowledge Introduction," "How to Better Complete System Tasks," "Amazing System Items Appreciation," "Desolate Beast Venom Analysis," "Basic Treatment (for non-medical systems)," "How to Become a Game Master," and so on...

Beyond the four mandatory courses, there are a whopping one hundred and twenty elective courses offered!

These electives were an eye-opener for Xiang Beifei, such as the "Film Appreciation" course, which seems to cater to those who have awakened the [All Heavens System]. Take Wang Ze, whom he encountered last time, who needs to traverse into system-created movies to complete tasks.

The "Novel Appreciation" course is similar; some tasks involve traversing into xianxia novels, while others entail penetrating sci-fi and various other genres of novels. These courses can help participants analyze how to accomplish the book and film tasks set by their systems.

Most of these books and films are written by people from the Liberal Arts College, which houses professional novelists and filmmakers who write novels or shoot films and animations to earn a living.

Once their works are released and sometimes become classics, they are chosen by these [Transcend All Worlds Systems], which then let their hosts traverse into these movies and novels to complete tasks and acquire powerful abilities.

Systems like [Transcend All Worlds], which seem very impressive, merely involve traversing through fictional spaces created by systems, be it novels or films. These are just types of virtual spaces set up by the systems and are not real. The abilities hosts acquire in these movie and novel spaces are still tied to their own cultivation levels.

In the system worlds, many people often complain about authors online, questioning why they set up their plots in such troubling ways; it's usually because when they traverse into novels to complete system tasks, they get stuck due to the storyline and can't finish their tasks, leading them to vent their frustrations on the authors.

Yes, that's probably the reason!

Courses like gaming are targeted at students who need to play games to complete their system tasks, where they blast through games to acquire equipment which they can then bring back into reality with the help of their systems.

Teachers will instruct them on how to better conquer these games and familiarize them with each game's characteristics, such as treasure box locations and drop rates, with comprehensive guidance provided.

And those who develop these games are still those guys from the Liberal Arts College.

...

With such a dazzling array of elective courses, martial artists' elective options are not all related to martial arts; a wide range of special courses are available as well.

Xiang Beifei was also contemplating which courses he needed to choose.

The "Magic Attack Course" sounded interesting; he could convert Spiritual Power into flames, which was a form of magic. He wondered if it was possible to transform Spiritual Power into other elements, like ice, or lightning?

He was also very interested in "Formation Knowledge." Liangzhou University was clearly protected by a powerful formation, and it was said that Jiuzhou's border defenses incorporated formations. Not to mention the teleportation spheres from the entrance examination; they were a type of Formation sealed within.

He was definitely going to choose the "Amazing System Items Appreciation" course. It felt as if it were tailor-made for him. He wanted to see what other system rewards looked like and from which systems they came, so when the time came to take someone else's reward, he would have an idea of what to expect.

"Basic Treatment" was a course aimed at those outside the medical system. In other words, if his system didn't provide healing items, it would be best to take this course, which taught how to administer first aid in the wild, such as using herbs or parts of desolate beasts' blood and tissues, or how to use Spiritual Power to heal others. Without a system of his own, Xiang Beifei had to choose this course.

...

From his point of view, it seemed like he could take any of the courses. Being able to participate in others' system tasks meant that learning from these courses could be very useful.

College was a four-year program, and there were specific requirements for graduation in terms of credits and realm. In addition to passing the mandatory courses, one had to take at least thirty elective courses!

Since the four mandatory courses had to be taken each semester, choosing four additional electives per semester was quite good. Although every student had a system, their energy was still finite.

"Seems like it's not realistic to study everything."

Though Xiang Beifei possessed the ability of "Learn by Analogy," it was predicated on having to learn something firsthand before he could draw analogies from it. Many electives required the teacher's lecturing and experiential teaching, which couldn't be learned simply by studying a book.

Therefore, if he wanted to truly master a course, he had to attend class earnestly.

"I still need to ask Elder Luo for advice and see what he thinks,"

Xiang Beifei remembered that Elder Luo had agreed to teach him about spiritual power cultivation, which he truly needed at the moment, so he gave Elder Luo a call.

On the other end of the phone, Elder Luo agreed quite readily, "Sure, come over tomorrow, and I'll give you some pointers. It's a good time to teach you how to cultivate spiritual power."

"All right, I'll come over first thing in the morning."

As Xiang Beifei hung up the phone, he seemed to faintly hear the sound of running water in the background, clueless about what boring activity Elder Luo was engaged in now. But he had no interest in knowing, since whatever the old man was doing, he was getting stronger.

Being around such an idle fish during his university days must be the right choice.

——

Early the next day, Xiang Beifei went to Liangzhou University.

Luo Laotou was still lying at the university gates cracking sunflower seeds. Xiang Beifei greeted him politely, "Hello, Elder Luo."

"Wait a second, I'm in the middle of something important."

Luo Laotou gestured for Xiang Beifei not to disturb him and continued to stare at the woods in the distance.

Rustle!

Three birds leaped into the sky from the trees. Luo Laotou, seeing the birds take flight, finally turned his gaze away contentedly. His system interface displayed:

[You have counted fifty birds, leisure value +50]

He really was idling!

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but think.

"Let's go, I'll take you out for some fun."

Luo Laotou stood up from his lounge chair and offered Xiang Beifei another handful of sunflower seeds.

"Thank you."

Xiang Beifei quite liked the taste of the seeds. While cracking them open, he said, "I just received my acceptance letter and am considering which electives to take. Do you have any suggestions, sir?"

"Ah, university electives! That really brings back memories!"

Luo Laotou stretched luxuriously and said, "Back in my day, I used to be a student too, going to class whenever I felt like it, university life is the best, isn't it!"

He stroked his short white beard and turned his head to look at Xiang Beifei, "How about this, I'll go to class with you? Whatever course you choose, I'll choose the same one." Discover more content at ???

Xiang Beifei was taken aback.

Are you that bored!

Following me to class? Would those professors dare to teach then?

"You're not joking, are you?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Not necessarily, who says old people can't attend classes?"

Elder Luo walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, and after a long pause, he casually said, "But to get back to the point, these past two days I've been carefully watching the video of your fight with the Triangular Thunder Krait. I reviewed it in slow motion, analyzing your every move from all angles, a full 360 degrees."

A video that didn't even show five seconds of action and it needs such detailed analysis?

"And then?" Xiang Beifei asked nonchalantly.
