When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 173: Chapter 148: Drinking to Bolster Courage



He looked at Kong Xiuwen's [S-level Hair Loss System], where Kong Xiuwen was currently undertaking a task [Learn "Precarious" to make a single strand of hair weigh 1 milligram. System reward: Lose 20 strands of hair]

Kong Xiuwen's mother, Chen Xiuqin, possessed the [Yi Jian Mei System]. She had an ability called "Precarious," which made the opponent's hair become heavy. Kong Xiuwen's system was somewhat related to Chen Xiuqin's, and it seemed that Chen Xiuqin had taught "Precarious" to Kong Xiuwen.

It was clear that Kong Xiuwen could also cultivate "Precarious," but he had just started, aiming only to double the weight of a single strand of hair, which normally weighs about 500 micrograms for a ten-centimeter strand. Currently, Kong Xiuwen's cultivation level wasn't too high; he was just trying to double the hair's weight.

Xiang Beifei actually wanted to help Kong Xiuwen with his system tasks, but Kong Xiuwen's tasks mostly depended on stimulating his own potential to lose hair. He still didn't know how best to be involved.

For the university entrance exams, Kong Xiuwen had recently used his hair to exchange for items that enhanced his intelligence. Now, he had changed his cultivation direction towards martial arts, and his system had provided him with many martial arts abilities.

The hair he lost wasn't just thrown away casually. Instead, it was collected for potential use.

For instance, [Hair Puppetry] allowed him to control others using his hair. Once a strand of his hair was implanted into someone else, he could generally interfere with their actions. If his cultivation was high enough, he could directly puppeteer the person.

[Thousand Arrows Fired] enabled him to use fine, invisible strands of hair as arrows for attacks!

[Thunderous Rage] allowed him to infinitely amplify the static electricity generated from the friction of hair on an enemy's body, turning it into the force of thunder and striking the enemy into doubting their life!

All these abilities were what Kong Xiuwen was currently learning. Their power was linked to his cultivation level. Despite his system's unremarkable name, the martial arts path he chose had many powerful abilities.

After all, he was an Awakener whose strength increased as his hair decreased!

Xiang Beifei was considering that he should help Kong Xiuwen more, to help him increase his strength sooner. He remembered he had Beast Pills, which he didn't need, and thought about giving them to Kong Xiuwen after leaving the cafeteria.

"By the way, I heard tomorrow there's a student club recruitment event after class. Do you want to check it out?" Kong Xiuwen asked.

Student clubs?

Kong Xiuwen hadn't mentioned it, Xiang Beifei might have forgotten about it. Lu Zhiwei had brought it up the day he passed the entrance examination, and now that school had just started, student clubs must be getting busy.

"No, I'm not interested."

Xiang Beifei wasn't very concerned about joining any clubs; he preferred to spend his time on cultivation.

After dinner, Xiang Beifei and Kong Xiuwen headed back to their dormitory. They lived in the same building but on different floors. When they parted, Kong Xiuwen was quite concerned.

"By the way, take this." Kong Xiuwen handed a defense talisman to Xiang Beifei, "I don't know if it can help you withstand the pressure from SRs, but it should help relieve some stress."

This defense talisman was bought with twenty strands of his hair, and he thought Xiang Beifei could use it.

"No need, I don't need it."

"Take it, don't be formal with me!" Kong Xiuwen insisted, pushing it to Xiang Beifei.

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but laugh, but he still returned it to Kong Xiuwen. Then he took out twenty Beast Pills and handed them to Kong Xiuwen, saying, "Don't worry, I won't be in trouble for now. These are for you, the Beast Pills I got when I entered the school."

These Beast Pills were too weak for him, all being from serpentine beasts, suitable for the early and middle stages of Qi-Controlling. As Xiang Beifei was now an advanced practitioner of Qi-Controlling, he didn't need such Beast Pills. He had thought about selling them, but considering Kong Xiuwen, he decided to keep them within friends.

"Beast Pills?" Kong Xiuwen paused, "Did you really kill that many desolate beasts? I thought those rumors were false…"

"Not all rumors are to be believed. Some are true, others false. Just assume I had help from influential people, and consider that I found them. These pills are very pure. You can absorb them directly."

Xiaohei had removed any impurities from the Beast Pills, making them into pure spiritual power crystals usable by anyone, but Xiang Beifei didn't elaborate further to Kong Xiuwen.

As an S-level Awakener, Kong Xiuwen could see the value of these Beast Pills. He shook his head, "Then you should use them yourself. My system is higher-level than yours, and I have my methods to improve. You live with three SRs now, you're under more pressure than me."

"Well... the three SRs are manageable. I can't use these pills for now, and keeping them would be a waste. You can absorb them better. Quickly enhance your cultivation level so you won't be at a disadvantage later at Liangzhou University," Xiang Beifei said.

"But..."

"Enough, if you really care about me, focus on getting to the advanced stage of Qi-Controlling first. You're only at the initial stage now, which makes you one of the weakest here at Liangzhou University. I'm luckier than you; don't worry."

Xiang Beifei waved his hand, planning to give the remaining Beast Pills to Lu Zhiwei, since she also needed a boost.

Looking at the twenty Beast Pills, Kong Xiuwen was silent for a moment before accepting them. He then admonished, "Alright, if you don't need them, then I'll use them first. Once my cultivation level increases, I'll go kill desolate beasts to help you. But if those three SR-level guys bully you, you can talk to the counselor. Don't keep everything bottled up inside."
