When system cheat becomes rampant!

The counselor responsible for "System School Selection Consultation" was one of twenty people, all of whom were teachers at Luhe High School, and each was assigned a separate small room.

All system consultations were completely confidential; besides the teachers, other students would not know.

"I haven't even figured out what questions to ask, can you give me some advice?" Kong Xiuwen said, tugging at his own hair.

"Since you're an S-level Awakener, you can ask the counselor which direction your system should take. If you want to attend one of those nine elite universities, how big are the chances?" Xiang Beifei suggested.

Kong Xiuwen shook his head, "I won't even consider those nine elite universities. I've heard that only S-levels can get in, and even then, I'd be at the bottom. I'd rather try for other ordinary universities—preferably the same one as you."

Universities were quite pragmatic, with the nine elite universities feasting on S-level students first and leaving the rest for other universities to sip at the leftovers.

Hence, apart from the nine elite universities, S-level Awakeners were rare in other ordinary universities.

Kong Xiuwen had also thought about how his abilities would surely be trounced within elite universities.

Then, attending an ordinary university, where being an S-level would definitely secure a higher status than in elite universities.

"Classmate Kong, don't be discouraged. We've just awakened our systems. How can we belittle ourselves?" A familiar voice rang out behind them.

Xiang Beifei turned around to look.

Huh, isn't that the person from this morning's delivery?

"Liu Qianrou?"

Kong Xiuwen recognized Liu Qianrou.

Many people knew Liu Qianrou, not only because she was the first girl to awaken an S-level system, but also because she was the Class Belle of senior year three, with many boys secretly in love with her.

However, if Liu Qianrou wanted to cultivate backups, she had to make contact with these talents.

"Sorry, I just happened to overhear your conversation. But I think, Classmate Kong, you should have confidence in yourself. If you haven't even tried, how can you give up?"

Liu Qianrou's voice was full of goodwill, and she even winked meaningfully at Kong Xiuwen.

"That's... true."

Kong Xiuwen's face turned slightly red. His grades were poor; previously Liu Qianrou and he were as distant as heaven and earth, and he could not aspire to reach her level. But unexpectedly, today Liu Qianrou had taken the initiative to talk to him.

He knew this was most likely because he had awakened an S-level system.

Xiang Beifei raised an eyebrow.

He obviously knew what Liu Qianrou meant; she must have already inquired about the list of all twenty-one S-level System Awakeners in the school, and Kong Xiuwen was certainly on her target list.

As an S-level backup, Liu Qianrou could gain much more attributes from than from R- or N-levels, snatching away 20 at a time.

Liu Qianrou naturally wouldn't let go of someone like Kong Xiuwen.

Upon seeing Xiang Beifei, Liu Qianrou also revealed a happy smile, "Hello, Xiang Beifei, we meet again."

"Hello."

Xiang Beifei nodded politely.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Qianrou's system panel began to flicker—

[You greeted an N-level potential backup, and you have plundered the backup's social skills. Your social skills +1]

That's just unreasonable.

Xiang Beifei glanced at Liu Qianrou's system panel, which now showed her backup value had reached 28.

Seeing Liu Qianrou, Kong Xiuwen appeared somewhat dazed, and he stammered, "Qianrou, are you... did you also come to... attend this consultation?"

"Yes, I'm not very confident about my system and feel at a loss. Classmate Kong, could you give me some advice?"

Liu Qianrou looked at Kong Xiuwen bashfully.

Kong Xiuwen felt as if he was floating on air.

This was the goddess of the grade! She was actually asking him, a student so poor in his studies it was a mess, for advice. Kong Xiuwen felt invigorated as though his spirits had multiplied a hundredfold.

Just as he was about to respond, Xiang Beifei interjected.

"It would be better to ask the counselor about that question, we can't answer it," Xiang Beifei said.

[N-level potential backup answered your question, your social skills +1]

Liu Qianrou's system panel vibrated again.

Damn it!

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Just by answering a question, she could steal away someone's social skills. If a backup inflated her with chatter all day long, she could probably suck them dry.

Even though as soon as Liu Qianrou accumulates 30 backups Xiang Beifei would receive an email, he couldn't let Kong Xiuwen become one of Liu Qianrou's backups.

He might not care about others, but he still needed to help Kong Xiuwen out.

Just as Kong Xiuwen was about to say something, Xiang Beifei pushed him toward the other queue, urging, "Hurry, it's your turn now. Consult the counselor well, I'll wait for you outside."

A shadow crossed Liu Qianrou's face.

She had already inquired; normally, Kong Xiuwen had poor grades, was carefree, didn't have a particularly sharp wits, and was an S-level Awakener. People like him could easily be turned into backups with just a few words from her, but she didn't expect Xiang Beifei to interfere.

——Never mind, I have plenty of chances.

Liu Qianrou snorted coldly in her heart and looked at Xiang Beifei again.

Daring to mess up my plans, I'll plunder something from you first!

She ran her fingers through her hair, her long strands fluttering in mid-air and the tips brushing against Xiang Beifei's cheek, leaving behind a faint fragrance.

"What a lovely day."

Liu Qianrou said with a smile.

Xiang Beifei hummed noncommittally.

This time, the system didn't display anything.

Liu Qianrou's eyebrows knit together as she gently said, "Tomorrow is May 20th, you know! Only two months left until the college entrance exam."

The college entrance exam in the Jiuzhou Federation takes place in July.

It's only May now.

Seeing that Xiang Beifei wasn't responding, Liu Qianrou softly continued, "I just heard from classmates that May 20th is a very special day, but they talked so much and I really didn't get it. Xiang Beifei, do you know what 520 means?"

"I know," Xiang Beifei replied.

Playing with her fingernails, Liu Qianrou asked in an innocent voice, "Can you explain it to me then? I really want to know the meaning of 520!"

She looked like an innocent girl, her face full of curiosity.

Xiang Beifei nodded seriously and said, "Hmm, no problem. Let me think! 520...

5 stands for five affirmatives: affirming economic structural adjustments, affirming the duty of environmental governance, affirming the construction of ecological civilization, affirming precision poverty alleviation by the alliance, affirming Jiuzhou's security guarantee.

2 stands for two 'must-haves': we must have both wealth symbolized by our 'mountains of gold and silver' and ecological beauty symbolized by 'clear waters and green mountains'.

0 stands for zero tolerance towards illegal and criminal behavior."

Championing uprightness is everyone's responsibility!

The voice in which Xiang Beifei spoke was compelling and spirited!

Liu Qianrou: "..."

She was completely flustered.

What kind of answer was that!

She had thought that this N-level backup would spout a bunch of affectionate nonsense, but she didn't expect him to come out with something like this, and it had totally baffled her.

By the time she collected her thoughts, Xiang Beifei had already coolly and breezily turned and walked away.
