When system cheat becomes rampant!

"Is this an attempt to win me over?"

After carefully analyzing, Xiang Beifei quickly figured out the alliance's—or Mu Yiqing's—intent.

Since the incident of "N-level genius Xiang Beifei rescuing the residents of the western district" came to light, the alliance seemed intent on using Xiang Beifei as a role model for the youth, without consulting him, they had thrust him into the spotlight.

It didn't take much thought to realize that all these events were likely orchestrated by Mu Yiqing.

The name "Xiang Beifei" had essentially become a household name. Born with N-level system talent, and achieving admission to Liangzhou University by defeating many S-level students with a single primitive ranking first, he had initially received a massive following from numerous Awakeners of the alliance.

When desolate beasts wreaked havoc in the western district, eight S-level martial artists were defeated and injured. As an N-level, Xiang Beifei once again stepped forward, single-handedly killed the desolate beast, and protected the western district.

In every regard, Xiang Beifei was a stand-out among contemporary youth. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire

Winning over Xiang Beifei, promoting him, and cultivating a role model for the younger generation.

In Jiuzhou, N-level Awakeners made up a large fraction of the population! However, because they are the lowest in system ranking, they often face various unfair treatments in life, and many N-level Awakeners are dissatisfied.

The alliance isn't really afraid of N-level Awakeners causing trouble since they have myriad higher-level Awakeners including SR, SSR, and UR, who can completely suppress and manage the N-level Awakeners.

However, everyone with a clear mind understands that managing through repression is definitely not the best strategy!

So, at this moment, the appearance of an N-level Awakener like Xiang Beifei, who could defeat an SSR genius and had also just saved the western district, how could the alliance possibly miss this opportunity?

There are plenty of N-level Awakeners in the world, yet few who stand out. Xiang Beifei had become a distinguished representative of the N-level group, like a rising star within them, and would definitely become an idol for all N-level Awakeners.

The alliance was making a big push for Xiang Beifei, which was really just a ploy to make N-level Awakeners align with Xiang Beifei, to utilize him for publicity purposes. This way, Xiang Beifei could wield great influence, allowing the alliance to manage N-level Awakeners more conveniently through his voice.

Previously there was Shang Tianxiong, the highest N-level officer in Liangzhou, and now there was Xiang Beifei, the excellent N-level youth from Liangzhou University.

"They really know how to plan."

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but frown.

As for becoming famous, he didn't really care. Ever since he had gone to Liangzhou University, he had made a name for himself with a single punch, stepping on Hou Chengwu during the elite university competition, he had made his mark.

However, this passive way of being promoted made him very uncomfortable.

Because Mu Yiqing hadn't discussed it with him at all, totally disregarding his opinion, he had only found out about this today.

They hadn't even paid him an endorsement fee!

Most importantly, even if Xiang Beifei disagreed, it would be useless, because the entire thing was conducted as a public welfare initiative, uplifting and full of positive energy, and stimulated national fitness, enhancing the physical quality of Jiuzhou overall; Xiang Beifei couldn't possibly speak out against it.

Whether he agreed or not didn't matter; he was already famous, and the alliance could leverage his fame to do many things.

"I'm also a fan of Beifei now!"

Chen Xiuqin walked over with a smile, adjusted her elegant long hair, and winked at Xiang Beifei.

Xiang Beifei chuckled dryly, "Auntie, don't joke."

"No joke, I vote for you every day! 'Pick Beifei,' unstoppable momentum!"

Chen Xiuqin placed one hand on her slim waist and gave Xiang Beifei the V-sign with the other.

A hairstylist by profession, she was skilled at grooming herself; nearly forty years old, yet youthful and pretty, she looked just over thirty.

For Xiang Beifei, she had seen him grow up since he was a child. Xiang Beifei and Kong Xiuwen were childhood friends, and their relationship had always been good; Chen Xiuqin never considered Xiang Beifei an outsider.

Especially after Xiang Beifei had saved her and her husband during the desolate beast incident, when the "Pick Beifei" challenge came out, she immediately turned into a "fan mom," furiously voting for Xiang Beifei to boost his ranking!

Xiang Beifei was utterly bewildered.

The situation seemed to be getting weirder, completely unstoppable now.

Kong Daming had already set the banquet, calling everyone over.

"Come on, what are you all waiting for? Hurry up and take your seats, Xiaofei, you sit here!" Kong Daming specially arranged the seat of honor for Xiang Beifei.

"This doesn't seem right..." Xiang Beifei had wanted to refuse.

"No worries, if it weren't for you, where would we be gathered here? It's a must," Kong Daming insisted and then raised his glass, "Come, let's all toast to Xiang Beifei!"

Toasting and exchanging, the atmosphere was very congenial as everyone was acquainted and there was no need for formalities at the dining table.

Of course, the most discussed topic was naturally Xiang Beifei.

"It was just like that, when Xiang Beifei merely lifted his eyelid, SSR Hou Chengwu immediately knelt down!"

Kong Xiuwen spared no effort to tell everyone how impressive Xiang Beifei truly was in the freshman competition, how he showcased his prowess, trampling SSR underfoot, which astonished even Xiang Qingde!

"You really stepped on that SSR?" Xiang Qingde gasped, always a beat slow on the uptake.

"Punches and kicks bear no eyes; I accidentally stepped on him," Xiang Beifei nonchalantly picked up some vegetables.

"Haha! Old man, how come you don't even understand your own grandson's talents? I always had faith in Xiaofei; a chip off the old block, right?" Kong Daming was full of admiration too.

"But that was an SSR!" Xiang Qingde said incredulously.

"But this is our Beifei!"

Lu Hong laughed on the side, his eyes filled with admiration for Xiang Beifei.

Whether it was Kong Daming or Lu Hong, they both had a much greater capacity for acceptance than Xiang Qingde, having witnessed with their own eyes how Xiang Beifei had blown away the One-Armed Crab with a single punch in the later stages of Meridian Opening, an image they still couldn't forget.

And Xiang Qingde, as Xiang Beifei's grandfather, seemed not to understand his own grandson so well. Xiang Beifei, not wanting to worry his grandfather, rarely mentioned his experiences in the outer desolate territories.

Kong Xiuwen excitedly stuffed a chicken leg towards Xiang Beifei's mouth and asked, "Here, chicken leg TV special correspondent interviews you, what did it feel like when you stepped on an SSR? Can you share that with us?"

Xiang Beifei thought about it and honestly said, "I don't often step on people, but stepping on an SSR feels just the same as stepping on anyone else."

Kong Xiuwen slapped the table, leaned back, and burst into a wide grin, "What do you call talent?"

Xiang Qingde: "..."

Kong Daming burst out laughing cheerfully, "Hahaha! Good lad, I just love that about you!"

"You hurry up and learn more from Xiaofei, look at him, then look at yourself! When will you catch up to even half of Xiaofei's strength!" Kong Daming lectured Kong Xiuwen.

"Dad, when will you catch up to even half of Uncle Xiang's ability?" Kong Xiuwen retorted.

"Outrageous! Talking back now! See if I don't smack you!"

Kong Daming flicked Kong Xiuwen's head, then burst out laughing again. He was frank—being unmatched was simply that, and there was nothing disgraceful about it.

Although Kong Xiuwen was slick with his words, he never slacked in his cultivation; Xiang Beifei often threw many Beast Pills to Kong Xiuwen for his training.

Now, Kong Xiuwen also had the strength of mid-stage Qi-Controlling. Among the newcomers, if not considering SR Awakeners, his strength was equivalent to the top tier. According to Xiang Beifei's estimate, it would take Kong Xiuwen another two or three months to advance to the late stage of Qi-Controlling.

His cultivation speed was forcibly piled up by Xiang Beifei's efforts.

"Now speaking of which, Xiaofei is quite grown up, has he talked about having a girlfriend in school?" Kong Daming asked with a smile.

"Yes, grandfather is just waiting to hold a great-grandchild," Xiang Qingde said earnestly.

Xiang Beifei was still pondering his options when he was asked this and felt somewhat embarrassed.

Why suddenly bring up the matter of holding a great-grandchild?

"There's no rush," Xiang Beifei replied.

"You're already a university freshman!" Xiang Qingde said seriously, "Not too young anymore!"

Freshman, not too young?

Thinking about it, he was, in fact, only eighteen years old, right?

"When I was a freshman, I'd already rolled in the sheets a few rounds, and changed partners while rolling!"

Kong Daming boasted with a lot of swagger, but after saying that, he glanced cautiously outside. Just as Chen Xiuqin stepped out to take a phone call, not present, he quickly lowered his voice and instructed, "Don't you ever tell your aunt about this."

Xiang Beifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Chen Xiuqin had the Yi Jian Mei System and was also a pioneer in the martial path; her scissors weren't just for show as she wasn't restricted to cutting hair only.

He knew Kong Daming was just bragging after a few drinks; in reality, he loved his wife dearly because during their encounter with the One-Armed Crab, to protect Chen Xiuqin, Kong Daming had shielded her with his own body, resulting in his spine being crushed.

"So, is there?" Xiang Qingde inquired.

"No," Xiang Beifei honestly replied.

"Then you need to push harder!" Xiang Qingde said eagerly, "I hear in university many certificates can be exchanged for academic credits. A marriage license is also a certificate and can get you credits. It's a win-win."

Xiang Beifei: "..."

A marriage license can get academic credits?

Who on earth told you that!

At this moment, Chen Xiuqin brought over a bowl of soup, smiling warmly, "The nutrients should not flow to outsiders' fields. We have Xiao Wei here, why not make a match?"

Lu Hong's eyes lit up!

"That would be great!"

Having Beifei as his son-in-law was something Lu Hong was completely on board with!

However, Lu Zhiwei sighed, "I haven't met the criterion for options, my lung capacity isn't sufficient."

"Then you need to work on that! Get that lung capacity up!" Lu Hong said earnestly.

He was aware of the recent furor over the "options" issue, but he didn't inquire why Beifei required lung capacity, perhaps it was a requirement of Xiaofei's system. His reasons were his own, and there was no need to ask too much.

"I will work hard!" Lu Zhiwei nodded.

Xiang Beifei: "..."
