When system cheat becomes rampant!

The gossip tree at Liangzhou University exploded once more.

"He\'s coming, he\'s coming, he\'s here!"

"Let\'s form a group to show him who\'s boss. Who\'s joining?"

"I happen to be free that day, count me in."

"Damn it, the school just started summer break, and I\'ve gone home. I can\'t come back that day. Who can take over and show him who\'s boss for me ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ"

"I\'m actually on summer internship! I\'ll be there to show him what \'elite\' really means!"

"Right, I can\'t wait to see how he makes a fool of himself! What an overconfident fool!"

"Did you hear that this time Yuchi the old demon is in charge of his entrance assessment?"

"Hahaha! He\'s doomed. Yuchi the old demon hates three types of people: those whose talents are better than his, those whose talents are the same as his, and those whose talents are worse than his!"

"Anyone who meets Yuchi the old demon is bound to get skinned, let alone a piece of N-level trash."

"You guys are being a bit too harsh. The guy just awakened his system two months ago and hasn\'t even reached the Qi-Controlling stage. Why so vindictive?"

"Not harsh at all. He should have known the consequences when he conspired with journalists to suppress us with public opinion!"

Because of the hype created by Yu Lei, Xiang Beifei had become notoriously well-known in Liangzhou University, and many students couldn\'t wait to meet this top-originally-scored candidate.

The posts in the gossip tree were hostile towards Xiang Beifei; even the occasional rational voices defending him were quickly drowned out by other mocking posts.

August 5th.

Early in the morning, Xiang Beifei took a ride to Liangzhou University.

He arrived at Liangzhou University by half-past seven.

"I misjudged the time."

He had never been to Liangzhou University before and was unsure about the travel time, so he left home just after six.

Liangzhou University was not particularly far from where he lived: about an hour\'s drive — possibly less if he drove himself, which was likely why Lu Zhiwei would rush to the law enforcement team every day after school.

But being early was better than being late.

He stood at the school gate, looking at Liangzhou University in front of him.

The grand and imposing school gate, made of marble, bore many special stone patterns that twinkled mysteriously under the sunlight.

These stone patterns appeared to be the texture of waves at first glance. However, each wave was intricately ordered and reflected off each other, extending up to the grand \'Liangzhou University\' inscription.

"Is this a formation?"

Xiang Beifei stood at the gate, staring at the huge Liangzhou University sign, pondering.

He could see the various system-made objects; system items were actually a form of spiritual power crystal, just manifested in different ways. That meant he could also see any form of energy condensed by spiritual power, including formation patterns and charm patterns.

The stone patterns on this gate were protected by a special power, seemingly linked to every tree and every stone in the school, eventually converging on a statue not far away.

The statue was of an elder, dressed in ancient attire, holding a walking stick, with kind and benevolent eyes and a pair of wise eyes looking towards the school gate.

As Xiang Beifei was examining the statue, he realized that it seemed to be examining him as well.

"The university is indeed not to be underestimated."

Xiang Beifei knew who the statue represented; it was said to be the school\'s founder from a thousand years ago, the venerable Mu Tianhe.

He shifted his gaze from the statue of the school\'s founder, but the feeling of being scrutinized by the statue did not go away.

"Where has Lu Zhiwei gone? She promised to wait for me here."

Xiang Beifei looked around, searching for Lu Zhiwei\'s figure.

When Lu Zhiwei had her internship with the enforcement team, she would stay at home, but if there were academic classes, she would stay at the university. She had called him last night, saying she would wait for him at the school entrance in the morning and take him to Training Site One.

Xiang Beifei was not familiar with Liangzhou University and thought that this arrangement would save him from taking unnecessary detours, so he agreed. He made a call to Lu Zhiwei, and the phone was quickly picked up.

"Ah, Beifei, this morning my mentor called me to handle some matters, I am now at the lab. Why don\'t you come here and then I can take you directly to Training Room One, sparing me the extra trip to the school gate," said Lu Zhiwei.

"Where are you?"

"Dashang Building, thirteenth floor, walk inside for about five minutes. The building\'s name is displayed prominently on the outside," said Lu Zhiwei.

Xiang Beifei hung up the phone, walked through the school gate and looked around, then slightly furrowed his brow.

Thirteen floors?

He looked around; none of the buildings in the school were more than six stories high. Where could there be a thirteen-story building?

Xiang Beifei soon remembered that the architecture at Liangzhou University was quite unique. In a world rife with desolate beasts, which sometimes attacked human settlements, buildings were built low to the ground, with additional structures underground.

In such attacks, people could take refuge underground, and even if the upper levels were destroyed, the underground sections generally remained intact, facilitating rebuilding.

The course Introduction to Defense of Jiuzhou had mentioned that in over three thousand years, humanity had suffered several hundred beast tides, each posing an almost catastrophic threat. Desolate beasts from outside Jiuzhou could easily breach outer defenses and cause widespread destruction, hence many buildings were constructed underground.

Places like Liangzhou University, being one of the nine elite universities, naturally needed to protect all cultural heritage and legacies and be safeguarded against destruction during beast tides.

But Xiang Beifei still could not pinpoint the Dashang Building, afraid to waste time by going wrong, he spotted a security booth not far away and walked towards it.

It was just past seven in the morning and summer break, there were some students who stayed on campus, but not many. Xiang Beifei entered the security booth where there was a lounge chair outside, and an old man dressed in a security uniform was sitting on it, leisurely cracking sunflower seeds.

Xiang Beifei caught a glimpse of the man\'s system interface and was slightly surprised—

[Host: Luo Yunxian]

[SR grade, Leisure System]

[Level: Late Stage of Meridian Opening] .net

A gatekeeper old man, at the Late Stage of Meridian Opening? And an SR grade?

Is Liangzhou University really such a hidden dragon and crouching tiger?

To date, aside from Ye Changfeng, the two most powerful people he had met were President Li Nanxing and Chang Shan from the enforcement team, both in the Late Stage of Meridian Opening and greatly respected figures.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Beifei found that even the security guard at Liangzhou University was at the Late Stage of Meridian Opening!

When even Lu Hong, who was at the Early Stage of Meridian Opening, could become the captain of the enforcement team in the Western District, this old man with such high cultivation did security work—why not choose a better profession?

However, one thing was strange. Why, being of the same SR grade talent, was Ye Changfeng above the Meridian Opening, while this security guard was only in the Late Stage of Meridian Opening?

Xiang Beifei was puzzled.

He looked towards the old security guard\'s system interface—
