When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Mock Exam

Xiang Beifei was quite surprised.

He was still thinking about how to light up the constellation, but Lu Hong had unintentionally paved the way for him.

With the Lei Fire Crystal and the Flame Dragon Escape, along with yesterday's Azure Light Armor and Qi-replenishing pill, these four items could precisely serve as spiritual power crystals for the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling!

That meant, as long as his realm reached the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling, he could immediately light up the next constellation in the Spirit Gathering Book!

Although he had Chen Gang's "Thousand Faces Slash Moon," which was a spiritual power crystal for the initial stage of Meridian Opening, he planned to save it until he entered the Meridian Opening stage to use it.

Qin Yi's amulet was for the later stage of Qi-Controlling, and it should be saved to light up the constellation for that later stage.

Previously, he had been wondering where to get the mid-stage Qi-Controlling spiritual power crystal, and Uncle Lu had directly solved that for him.

"Uncle Lu, this must have cost a lot of system points, right?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"It's alright, you've helped me a lot these days, I should really thank you. Oh, here, take this too, a Spiritual Perception Pill, it can enhance the perception of various aspects of the body, I often use it to chase criminals."

In the past few days, Lu Hong had given Xiang Beifei a total of seven items in exchange, spending over 3000 Investigation Points.

That evening, his system had forcibly launched a mission, whereby Xiang Beifei had obtained 2000 Investigation Points. Lu Hong not only returned all these system points to Xiang BeiFei but also paid extra from his own.

"Uncle Lu, it was quite expensive."

Xiang Beifei said.

—Uncle also has his own motives!

Lu Hong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He really needed Xiang Beifei's feedback on the Rapid Flame cultivation, as it determined whether he could advance to the next realm.

As long as Xiang Beifei had requests that he could fulfill, he would do his best to accommodate them.

"Wow, dad, I'm jealous," Lu Zhiwei said enviously from the side.

Lu Hong tapped Lu Zhiwei's head and said irritably, "Jealous of what? Which of these items can you use now? BeiFei's cultivation level is not enough, so he needs these. Besides, haven't I given you plenty?"

Lu Zhiwei shrank her head and snickered bashfully.

She was at the later stage of Qi-Controlling, and when she first awakened her system, as her father, Lu Hong had given her many system items for self-defense, sparing no expense.

"Thank you, Uncle Lu."

Xiang Beifei was not pretentious, he truly needed these items.

Lu Hong treated him well, and even if he had his own motives, in Xiang Beifei's view, they were insignificant.

Because even before Lu Hong's system had issued the mandatory mission, he had given him many system items, simply out of concern for Xiang Beifei's safety.

Lu Hong could have chosen the "eradicate and seize" approach, simply killing Xiang Beifei once he grasped the Rapid Flame to take it easily. But he did not do that; instead, he chose another way—letting Xiang Beifei provide feedback.

Honestly, according to the method Lu Hong chose to complete the mission, even if Xiang Beifei blabbed any nonsense as feedback, Lu Hong could not tell if it was true or false, because even Lu Hong's system did not know that Rapid Flame could be improved; it all depended on Xiang Beifei.

Truth be told, Lu Hong could have taken control, but he chose to hand that control over to Xiang Beifei.

Xiang Beifei would naturally not disappoint Lu Hong.

In this system world, many people resorted to unscrupulous means to complete system tasks, creating a world full of trickery. People like Chen Gang and Liu Qianrou were numerous.

But there were still some upright people who maintained the most basic ethical standards while working on system tasks.

Xiang Beifei could see other people's systems, and he could judge who was trustworthy.

What he could do was to staunchly protect that trust.

He had only been cultivating for a short time, and his realm was still low. Without sufficient strength, Xiang Beifei needed others' help and protection to get through the novice period of the Qi-Controlling realm.

"It's late, you should head back, Xiao Wei, you accompany him, and be careful on the way."

Lu Hong still had work and could not abandon his post, so once again, he entrusted the task of escorting Xiang Beifei to his daughter.

——

Beifei returned home, and his grandfather was indeed waiting for him.

"Grandfather, you don't need to wait for me. I was doing system tasks, and these past few days, I've been home late," Beifei could only use this excuse to explain.

"It's alright, I couldn't sleep. Are you hungry? Should I cook something for you?" Qingde smiled.

"Not hungry, I've already eaten. Uncle Lu and the others ordered takeout."

"That's good, go to sleep soon. You need to wake up early tomorrow."

Qingde then returned to his own room.

After a brief wash, Beifei closed his door and began to ponder the matters at hand.

He now possessed five system items: the Spiritual Perception Pill, the Azure Light Armor, the Qi-replenishing Pill, the Flame Dragon Escape, and the Thunder Fire Crystal.

To light up the third Clan Constellation, he only needed four spiritual power crystals from the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling.

However, he hadn't decided whether to melt them away yet; it was more urgent to advance his cultivation to the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling.

Beifei practiced the Chaos Yin-Yang Formula again before resting.

In the following days, Beifei didn't visit the enforcement agency because he realized that if he wanted to improve Rapid Flame, with his current spiritual power, it was still very difficult to manage. The spiritual power of Rapid Flame needed to advance further.

Therefore, going back to the training room at the enforcement agency was meaningless.

Cultivating spiritual power could be performed anywhere.

The college entrance examination was drawing nearer, and virtually everyone had already decided whether to pursue the Martial or Literary Dao. The atmosphere in the school became increasingly tense.

Especially for students choosing the Literary Dao, their academic subjects were extremely important. The admission threshold for universities was higher for them, hence everyone was seriously reviewing in the last month, barely accepting any tasks issued by the system.

In the last twenty days, the school held the final mock exam before the college entrance exam.

Both teachers and students took this mock exam very seriously.

Li Nanxing, as the headmaster, was no exception.

Suddenly, he remembered Beifei.

Looking back, it had been a month since the Awakening System; the scene of Beifei in his office declaring his intention to apply for Liangzhou University still vividly lingered in his mind.

"I wonder if this child has made any progress."

When Beifei stated his intention to apply to Liangzhou University, Li Nanxing had specifically retrieved Beifei's score from the last mock exam.

Beifei's score in the previous mock exam was 292.

To stand a chance of getting into Liangzhou University, he needed to add at least another 400 points.

"His system's first task is to get into Liangzhou University; he should take this mock exam seriously. Surely he can improve by 50 points or so?"

Li Nanxing walked towards Professor Yang's office.

"Professor Yang, excuse me,"

Li Nanxing knocked on the door.

"Headmaster, what brings you here?"

Yang Hua was typing on his computer and, seeing the headmaster in person, quickly stood up, looking respectfully at Li Nanxing while feeling somewhat apprehensive about why the headmaster had come.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask about something. There's a student in your class named Beifei. What was his score in this mock exam?" Li Nanxing asked.

Upon hearing that the headmaster was inquiring about Beifei, Yang Hua's expression became uneasy.

"What's wrong?" Li Nanxing noticed Yang Hua's unusual demeanor.

"Beifei didn't come to the exam at all this time!" Yang Hua said gravely.
