When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Reclamation System

Xiang Beifei was currently only in the early stages of Qi-Controlling, and his power was not yet impressive.

However, given the speed of his cultivation, he would definitely reach the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling within two weeks!

The speed of advancement through the realms is related to one's talent.

For R-ranked awakened individuals like the class teacher Yang Hua, even after seven or eight years of awakening, he was still only in the late stage of Qi-Controlling.

Whereas S-ranked Lu Zhiwei, having awakened for only a year, was already in the late stage of Qi-Controlling.

Xiang Beifei had been awakened for less than a month and was not in a hurry.

Time at school passed quickly, and after school, once Xiang Beifei had explained the situation to his grandfather, he went to the law enforcement bureau.

The place they were located in was the western jurisdiction of Jiuzhou, where the City Guard Bureau was a conspicuous department. It was a place many ill-intended people steered clear of, with various powerful defenses.

Xiang Beifei entered the City Guard Bureau and asked a small police officer with an "R-ranked Firearms System" at the front desk, who directed him to the office of Lu Hong. However, he didn't find anyone there.

The affairs department of the guardians was noisy, with many law enforcement officers coming and going, some escorting suspects, others loudly making phone calls, and some carrying large stacks of documents.

Xiang Beifei wondered if he should wait inside, but then he caught sight of another interrogation room on the other side and discovered that Lu Hong was inside, seemingly questioning a criminal.

Through the glass window, Xiang Beifei could see the situation inside.

The criminal appeared calm in the face of Lu Hong's questioning, not opening his mouth at all, and there was a disdainful expression in his eyes, showing no regard for these law enforcement officers.

[Host: Wan Qiu]

[R-ranked, Reclamation System]

[Realm: Mid-stage Qi-Controlling]

It was unclear what crimes Wan Qiu had committed, but the expression on Lu Hong's face looked somewhat gloomy.

Lu Hong questioned for a long time but seemed unable to get anything out of him. He let an officer with an "R-ranked Interrogation System" continue the questioning, then left the interrogation room.

"Uncle Lu," Xiang Beifei greeted.

"You've arrived."

Lu Hong saw Xiang Beifei and showed a gentle smile, saying, "I've been busy this afternoon, was dealing with some matters just now, it's kind of headache-inducing."

"Did I come at a bad time?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"No, you cracked a big case yesterday, How could I not make time for you?"

Lu Hong laughed, but he still looked a bit tired; the matter of Lai Wuying, which involved Chen Gang, hadn't allowed him to recover quickly.

But he had not been knocked down, and was still working today.

"What about that person just now?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"A robbery case,"

Lu Hong replied, "The bank vault was robbed, he must have been the one to get inside, but we don't know how he did it. We've caught him, but he's not willing to give up the whereabouts of his accomplices yet, it's a bit of a headache."

A robbery case?

The bank vault?

This guy has the Reclamation System, without thinking too much it's clear he must have dug his way in from underground.

"You couldn't get it out of him? Don't you have specialized interrogators?"

Xiang Beifei glanced again at the police officer who had taken over Lu Hong's interrogation work. That officer possessed the interrogation system, and by all accounts, he should be an expert at extracting information.

"He's a mute, we asked him to write down where his accomplices are hiding, but unfortunately, he won't write," Lu Hong said, rubbing his forehead.

A mute?

Xiang Beifei suddenly understood; even the most skillful interrogator is helpless against a mute.

He moved forward a couple of steps, closer to the glass window, and scrutinized the other person's system tasks.

The completed task list for Wan Qiu was all related to reclamation.

Most of them were——

[You have reclaimed one square meter of wasteland, reclamation value +1.]

[You have reclaimed one square meter of mountain forest, reclamation value +1.]

These tasks seemed regular and nothing out of the ordinary, but among the recent list of tasks, there were some that were quite special.

[Spent 500 reclamation value points to upgrade reclamation tools. The current spade can now reclaim three-dimensional space in reinforced concrete.]

[You have reclaimed fifty cubic meters of space within the pier of Qianhe Bridge, reclamation value +10.]

This system task was completed three days ago.

The Qianhe Bridge was a heavyweight bridge with incredibly thick and massive piers, and it was unexpected that someone actually had the ability to carve out a space inside one.

Carving out a space there would indeed be a perfect hiding spot.

This guy's ability was quite impressive. According to his system description, this method of reclamation could disregard the volume of the reclamation target and determine the volume difference between the reclaimed space and the reclamation target proportionally.

If he had enough system points, he could even carve out a ten cubic meter space in a single ring.

The legendary "storage ring" was said to be based on this kind of reclamation system, a type of black technology from the world of Xianxia stories.

"Uncle Lu, based on the clothing and the traces of dust on him, he must have been to Qianhe Bridge recently. You might try searching the piers of Qianhe Bridge; his accomplices could be hiding inside. I don't know if you have any echo-locating devices to check which pier might be hollow," Xiang Beifei said.

Lu Hong looked at Xiang Beifei in astonishment, "Is this true? Are you sure?"

"I think there's no mistake," said Xiang Beifei.

Lu Hong then turned to look at Wan Qiu. He himself had a powerful Investigation System, but when he looked at the dust on Wan Qiu's clothes, he could only tell that the dust came from beneath the bank.

He wanted to ask Xiang Beifei how he figured it out, but remembering what happened the day before, Lu Hong held back the question.

"Wait a moment."

With a wave of his hand, a delicately crafted black raven appeared in Lu Hong's hand. He patted the raven's head and said, "Search the piers of Qianhe Bridge."

The raven darted into the sky, streaking a flash of light before vanishing.

"This is my reconnaissance tool. It's very effective," Lu Hong explained.

This tool came from his system; in fact, he had used it yesterday, but Chen Gang understood his investigative capabilities too well and knew how to counteract them.

Lu Hong watched his system interface. As the black raven flew out to investigate, he could see everything happening outside through the raven's eyes at any time on his system interface.

The black raven was incredibly fast, and since Qianhe Bridge was not far away, it almost instantly arrived and began scanning each pier built into the river.

Soon, Lu Hong's expression became more and more astonished!

The raven's eyes had echo-locating ability, and the scanning results showed that the inside of the piers were indeed hollow!

Not only that, but the raven's echo-location also detected seven people lurking within one of the piers!

"They really are hidden here!"

Lu Hong was truly shocked and couldn't help but look towards Xiang Beifei, full of amazement!

If it weren't for Xiang Beifei's suggestion, they might never have thought to look for people hiding inside the solid piers!

"Move out! Move out! Raven Squad, prepare to deploy to Qianhe Bridge!"

Lu Hong swiftly summoned his subordinates. At his command, they were on the move immediately!

Xiang Beifei stood still, watching Uncle Lu's retreating figure.

The event from yesterday had dealt Uncle Lu a heavy blow.

If he could help Uncle Lu take care of some things, he was willing to do so.

But then he thought about it.

Something didn't seem quite right.

What had he come here to do again?
