When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 640 - 471: Scapegoating (4000 words) _2

"What are you saying?" Kong Daming inquired.

"I'd say I'd consider it, of course. How could I decide such a thing on my own? I still need to ask Xiaofei's opinion," Chen Xiuqin said with a smile. She hadn't agreed to it, nor had she completely refused; she had to leave Xiang Beifei some room to choose.

Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment before saying, "I indeed need to train, no time for shooting movies and commercials. But when I have time, I can start a column specifically to teach everyone how to kill desolate beasts, so they won't panic when they encounter such situations."

He needed to use this identity to properly guide everyone.

Lu Hong's eyes brightened, and he nodded, "Right, many civilians living in inland cities have a very shallow concept of desolate beasts, and most lack a sense of crisis. Your idea is good."

Powerful desolate beasts are commonplace for martial artists, but for civilians, encounters are rare; thus, it was natural for Xiang Beifei, as a martial artist, to engage in promotional actives for martial arts.

"That's excellent. I'll help you promote it. Being a celebrity, you always need to specialize in a direction; since you're a martial artist, you must do it the martial artist's way."

Chen Xiuqin, also part of the entertainment industry, frequently interacted with celebrities and knew exactly how to handle marketing. As Xiang Beifei's number one 'mom fan,' she was more than willing to assist Xiang Beifei.

With that settled, Xiang Beifei didn't need to do much. After the next semester began, he would casually shoot a few videos while on assignments in the wild desolate areas—a simple task.

But then again—

"Does she really think she can manipulate my fame however she pleases?"

The last person who tried to exploit Xiang Beifei's fame for profit had been dealt with by him.

This time, they thought of making him the scapegoat without consulting him, clearly intending to push him onto the stage deliberately.

The reason the alliance wanted such a genius exposed was quite clear.

The main reason was that Xiang Beifei was trained by Elder Luo!

Elder Luo didn't have a good relationship with the alliance. People at the alliance were even wary of Elder Luo, as they couldn't suppress such a non-compliant SR-level Awakener. They worried that Elder Luo might cultivate his own influences at Liangzhou University.

The emergence of a genius like Xiang Beifei posed an even greater threat to them!

That's why they wanted to strike at Xiang Beifei!

A normal person, once exposed, finds it hard to maintain a low profile, attracting attention wherever they go.

By exposing Xiang Beifei this way, they were forcibly aligning him with the alliance, ensuring that every move he made was monitored by everyone in Jiuzhou. This essentially prevented Xiang Beifei from acting against the alliance in secret.

The alliance would dictate how Xiang Beifei had to cooperate with them moving forward.

In the eyes of the alliance, Xiang Beifei would become a chess piece to counter Elder Luo, isolating and monitoring Elder Luo in a unique way to weaken his influence.

But Mu Yiqing wouldn't really think he'd comply obediently, acting just as she wished, would she?

"Becoming the benchmark for N-level Awakeners means the initiative is in my hands," ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Xiang Beifei

Is his name, the way out of the withered forest?

A coincidence?

Or...

Xiang Beifei felt very surreal.

His long-missing father, who had never met him, named him at a time when he was still just a baby. How could he be so sure he would encounter Youmeng?

Was the name decided offhandedly?

Could he take naming a bit more seriously!

This SSR-level System Awakener had the ability to formulate rules. Anyone or anything around her that adhered to the rules would increase her system value, and by conducting affairs according to the established rules, she could also increase her system value.

Simply put, as long as there are rules somewhere, she could grow stronger.

Those who don't follow the rules cannot hide in her presence.

Xiang Beifei looked at Mu Yiqing's system log, which listed a lot of issues she dealt with regarding rules, including one that read:

[You formulated the "Jiuzhou System for the Selection of SR-level Talent" plan, which has been approved by the Chief Planner of the Alliance, Zhu Yiji, published as a rule. Currently, 2546 people comply with this rule, your rule value +2546]

The planning department of the Jiuzhou Alliance is responsible for formulating and amending the systems for various aspects of the alliance, used to manage every aspect of the alliance and plan the development of Jiuzhou.

Simply put, Zhu Yiji, being a UR-level System Awakener, was there to set the rules.

Xiang Beifei had only just discovered Zhu Yiji's position within the alliance.

Setting rules, leading the way in breaking them, having his own grandson fished out of prison—truly miraculous.

Thus, it seemed Mu Yiqing also belonged to Zhu Yiji.

It was unknown whether she participated in the affair, which should have led to Zhu Xinjue's death sentence, that allowed him to change his appearance, be reborn, and leave the prison.

Xiang Beifei soon saw a system log entry from September:

[You revised the regulations concerning SR Awakeners' applications for bail, and this rule currently applies only to one person; your rule value has increased by +1]

"It looks like there's hardly any escape," Xiang Beifei muttered, knitting his brows slightly.

Her system, any rule revised by her could bind as many people as it could, basically adding as much to her rule value.

For instance, last time she participated in revising a system regarding Jiuzhou students' recruitment, which directly affected five million college entrance exam students in Jiuzhou, and her system value jumped by 5 million!

Logically, if Mu Yiqing had this system, she should adhere to various rules.

But Xiang Beifei soon thought differently.

What are rules?

Rules are merely set by people. Since they are set by people, they can naturally be modified by people.

The modified rules are still rules, and they still meet her system's criteria.

Therefore, the higher she stands in the alliance, the easier it is to have control over the rules, making the [Word Spirit Rule System] of handling matters according to rules more potent; in fact, it amounts to acting as one wishes.

Otherwise, why would an SSR-level system be so powerful?

"Our two schools were looking out for each other in the withered forest, joining hands to dodge the danger," Xiang Beifei said, looking at Ren Jianghai, added, "On our way, we even encountered a student from your Qingzhou University; you can ask him yourself."

"Yes, we almost got planted there, it was Xiang Beifei and his people who saved me, and later we continuously encountered other school teams, warning them there was danger, but they didn't trust us, only the Yongzhou University team followed us," said Tang He, detailing the events, including how they conflicted with Yanzhou University, then how they encountered Shi Renmei, saw Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, were chased, and were rescued by the Liangzhou team...

Ren Jianghai listened, his eyebrows also deeply furrowed.

But with Tang He standing up, he could only let it go.

After all, Tang He was a student from Qingzhou University, and it made sense for Xiang Beifei both emotionally and reasonably

"All eleven of you,"

Xiang Beifei didn't make another inquiry, but looked at Tang He as if lost in thought.

Tang He was a normal person; there was no mistake about that since he had a system interface, with the system still rapidly updating. His [Po Jun Eye System] was a type of reconnaissance system, and it could also quickly identify opponents' weaknesses and defeat them through those weaknesses.

Currently, his system logs all displayed normally, something that could not be hidden from Xiang Beifei's eyes.

However, what Xiang Beifei found odd was—

This guy, for some reason, seemed to carry a faint scent of Ghost Whiskers!

Was it because he had encountered an attack by the Ghost Whiskers and thus retained some of that scent?

The atmosphere turned strange as soon as these people appeared.

Chen Baiwen, Yu Hongbo, Zhu Xinjue!

It was the team from Yanzhou University!

Unexpectedly, they also showed up here!

At first glance, Zhu Xinjue saw Xiang Beifei in the crowd, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, then his eyes briefly showed a resentful expression, but he quickly concealed it.
