When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Set a Small Goal First

"But come to think of it, the secret manual for cultivating body techniques that he got from Liu Qianrou was of little use to him, as the Spiritual Qi Crystal contained within wasn't powerful enough to light up the constellations."

However—

Xiang Beifei suddenly thought of the tuition for elite universities.

A hundred thousand a year for tuition fees alone, not to mention all kinds of living expenses.

If he wanted to attend an elite university, he would have to start saving money now.

Liu Qianrou's reward wasn't of much use to him, but could he sell it?

He needed money.

System rewards, if not needed by oneself, could be sold to others.

Some people couldn't complete system tasks on their own, but with someone else's system reward, they could bypass that stage and meet the requirements.

So, many system rewards could be sold for a good price.

Thinking back to how Kong Xiuwen's father had spent a great deal of money to obtain two so-called "Awakening Elixirs," it was clear that there was a target market.

Even though those elixirs were utterly useless, it couldn't be denied that there were targeted customers.

But to whom should he sell this cultivation manual?

Who would be a good candidate?

That was the problem.

—

On the edge of the Luhe High School cafeteria.

This was a biological geography garden. Many high schools had such a small garden, featuring various educational facilities, including globes, wind vanes, and various kinds of statues.

Schools with better conditions would also keep some small animals or plant some vegetables and flowers in the biological geography garden.

Hidden by a dense forest, the place was usually deserted during class time.

In the bushes, a figure cautiously surveyed the surroundings, appearing sneaky.

Seeing no one around, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Today, during the System School Selection Consultation, the principal personally called him to the office."

A deep voice came through the phone, "Did you investigate what exactly he did?"

"No, I didn't dare eavesdrop on the principal's conversation. After all, he's a strong practitioner in the Meridian Opening late stage!"

The line went silent for a moment before the voice responded, "What's your speculation about his talent?"

"It's hard to say. I specifically came to the school yesterday to watch Xiang Beifei's awakening ceremony and saw the whole process. Although Li Nanxing concluded that the Electric Shock Thunderstone was broken, Xiang Beifei is Xiang Tianxing's son after all. Xiang Tianxing is an SR-rated genius, so it's hard for me to believe his son is just an N-rated waste."

The voice on the phone continued, "So, you're suspecting that Li Nanxing deliberately tampered with the Electric Shock Thunderstone to cover up Xiang Beifei's UR-rated talent?"

"It's possible, especially since Li Nanxing took Xiang Beifei to the office alone today for the System School Selection Consultation, which makes me suspicious," the figure in the bushes spoke in a hushed tone.

"Then go investigate thoroughly," came the reply from the phone.

"If Xiang Beifei is truly a UR-rated genius, what do you plan to do?"

"We'll proceed according to the rules. If he's just an N-rated Awakener, then let it be. But if he's UR, we can't just ignore it," the voice on the phone stated.

"Understood."

The figure in the bushes hung up the phone and with a swift motion, disappeared into the biological geography garden.

"Isn't this a bit too hard?"

Kong Xiuwen scratched his head, looking quite frustrated.

Xiang Beifei was curiously examining Kong Xiuwen's system. Kong Xiuwen's system had just issued a task for him to complete a comprehensive exam paper, with the option to refer to books.

The system's reward was to lose another hair.

For Kong Xiuwen, who was terrible at studying, this was a massive challenge.

His foundation was not solid, so completing this task might be a bit difficult.

"Pioneers are a noble profession. In the wilderness, how many people make up a pioneer team? What types of systems do these team members generally awaken? Please provide examples."

Kong Xiuwen read the question while twirling his pen.

His pen-twirling skill was flashy; he could twirl the pen around each finger but he just couldn't untangle the answer to the question.

After a while, Kong Xiuwen turned his head and quietly asked Xiang Beifei, "Right, you should know more about pioneers than I do. Help me look at this question."

Kong Xiuwen knew that Xiang Beifei's parents were pioneers, and he should be quite familiar with these kinds of questions.

Xiang Beifei glanced at the question and then said,

"Every pioneer team is composed of five people, and generally speaking, the system types they awaken are all different.

One needs to have detection abilities, mostly serving as the team leader, to command the overall situation.

One needs to have a healing system, responsible for treating teammates' injuries.

One needs to be a System Awakener with powerful offensive capabilities to open the way.

One needs to have a defensive ability, to protect the entire team and avoid damage.

The last one would be a System Awakener with special action capabilities, responsible for advancing or retreating."

Healing systems are generally sought from the Liberal Arts College's medical specialty, while the rest mostly come from the Martial Arts College.

Having special action capabilities generally refers to practitioners who have awakened systems such as the Flight System or the Earth Escape System.

In the wilderness, faced with all sorts of dangers, it's necessary to have a team member with retreat capabilities to lead the team in avoiding insurmountable perilous situations at critical moments.

Kong Xiuwen hurriedly wrote down Xiang Beifei's answer.

"Right, do you plan to become a pioneer in the future, like your parents?" Kong Xiuwen asked.

"Maybe."

Xiang Beifei answered offhandedly.

That was not his heartfelt answer; for him, it was enough just to survive well in this world overrun with systems.

Whether or not to become a pioneer wasn't that important to him.

Unless he needed to help others complete tasks for rewards or something.

Yeah, just like that.

"So, is your system one of these five types?" Kong Xiuwen asked.

"Sort of. What about you?"

"My system allows for a wide range of specialization choices, but I think I'll go down the path of strength. I'm not good at studying, but I can fight."

Kong Xiuwen chuckled and habitually touched his hair.

Then he couldn't smile anymore.

The less hair one had, the stronger one was.

Yet, his hair was still like seaweed, lush and thriving.

"Right, have you decided on your university after consulting with the System School Selection Consultant?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Not yet, but I plan to go to the same university as you. I'll go to whichever university you can get into," Kong Xiuwen said.

He was an S-rank Awakener and had policy privileges. Except for the nine elite universities, he could easily get into any of the ordinary common universities.

"Then we should set a small goal first!"

Xiang Beifei paused, then said, "Like getting into Liangzhou University."

"Goodness! Is that a small goal?"

Kong Xiuwen gasped and stared at Xiang Beifei.

Liangzhou University was one of the nine elite universities!

Even as an S-rank System Awakener, he never dared to set his sights on one of the nine elite universities!
