When system cheat becomes rampant!

Xiang Beifei found a cheap holiday hotel where a night cost 199 yuan, which was decent enough.

He took a comfortable bath and then sat on the bed, kicking Erha, who had taken up half of it, to the side, "Shrink a bit, this is my bed, or you'll sleep on the floor!"

"Aoow!"

The Wooden Kirin grumbled twice in dissatisfaction, but it obviously preferred the soft mattress and unwillingly shrank to the same size as Xiaohei.

Earlier in the lab, it had been forced to shrink to palm-size and then, using Ye Changfeng's Eclipse Sword for invisibility, stayed on Xiang Beifei's shoulder.

It had been itching to burst out and raid the Beast Pill cabinets, regarding the many Beast Pills as a supermarket snack rack.

But it was beaten by Xiang Beifei.

"Aoow, aoow!"

Thinking of those Beast Pills, it was still feeling sore about it.

"Stop howling! I've named a technique after you, aren't you satisfied? You have to understand, Erha's Hyperspace Variable is desperately needed by them. Once we infiltrate the key lab of the Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company and find more Beast Pills, I'll let you eat your fill!"

Xiang Beifei said languidly.

Erha's eyes lit up!

"Woof woof!" Xiaohei reminded him.

Xiang Beifei glanced outside the window and said with a smile, "Someone is monitoring us? That's good; it means we're in the right place."

If he wasn't mistaken, Zhao Ruizhong must have reported his ability to merge Beast Pills.

Zhao Ruizhong would surely try to replicate the experiment after he left, but even if Zhao Ruizhong knew all the experimental steps, it would be useless if the critical matter of the Beast Pills' repulsive forces couldn't be reconciled; the consequence would be death from backlash for the local snake.

Erha's Hyperspace Variable, plainly speaking, is the ability of "Return to the Original State." Whenever the powers of two Beast Pills were about to clash, his "Return to the Original State" embedded in the array patterns would resolve the conflict.

This ability was very unique, unlearnable by others, and even copying his experiment would prove futile.

If Zhao Ruizhong discovered that he couldn't replicate the experiment, he would surely report it. How could Unrestrained possibly let go of someone who could reconcile the repulsive forces of Beast Pills?

Therefore, it wasn't surprising that someone came to monitor him.

Currently, Xiang Beifei didn't know what abilities Zhao Ruizhong had, what position he held in the Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company, or what his status was with Unrestrained, but the presence of the white Beast Pill in the lab confirmed that the Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company was connected to Unrestrained.

Xiang Beifei walked to the window and stretched.

He was on the sixth floor of the hotel, and it was already 7 p.m.

The night view of the city was not bad, bustling with traffic, neon lights flickering, and the streets filled with people rushing home from work.

Above these people's heads were all kinds of system interfaces, flashing system information nonstop; everyone was diligently completing system tasks to improve themselves.

Then, Xiang Beifei pretended to casually glance at the rooftop of a tall building across from him.

It was pitch dark there, where only a few stars could be seen occasionally, and in the sky hung a crescent moon with a missing corner, clearly without a single human figure.

But in the darkness, a system interface was stubbornly shining!

Because it was too far away, even with Xiang Beifei's excellent vision, he couldn't completely make out those small prompts, so he took a pair of high-tech glasses out of his pocket and put them on.

These high-tech glasses, used for surveillance by the Su People, had all sorts of functions, and using them as a telescope was more than sufficient. Ever since Elder Luo took over the Su Alliance, Xiang Beifei had conveniently acquired quite a few good things from him.

He even specifically asked Elder Luo to commission some custom equipment for Xiaohei, who was his capable assistant.

[Host: Dai Ping]

[SR Level, Lone Ranger System]

[Realm: Late God Refining Stage]

This system increases his system value for any solitary activity he undertakes or for simply seeing an individual person, a flying insect... anything done alone.

For a person who always operates solo, completing system tasks was ridiculously easy.

[Your solo surveillance of Zheng Xian's activities earned you +23 solo value.]

This was the latest prompt on the other party's system interface.

"Eh? This is a normal person."

Xiang Beifei took a closer look at the other person's system journal and saw that their journal was continuously active.

He had initially thought that whoever was monitoring him would be a modified Unrestrained. Normally, R level Awakeners with Late God Refining strength were considered modifiers, whose system journals would stop, as they can become stronger without completing system tasks.

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be a normal high-level System Awakener.

This surprised him quite a bit.

However, normal System Awakeners were not bad either; at least they were easier to deal with than those like Hua Jiuyue.

Because Dai Ping involved him in a system task!

"Did they send someone to watch me in case I left?"

Xiang Beifei gently smiled, scrutinizing the person's system journal.

Most of the journal entries were solitary activities the person had done, mostly trivial, including going out to eat alone, staying in a room alone, using the restroom alone...

These were not the details Xiang Beifei was looking for, so he continued browsing, in search of useful information.

[June 15, 3031, Your solo meeting with Qin Hongyi earned you +35 solo value.]

Qin Hongyi!

It was indeed him!

Today is the 15th, this happened today!

Looking at it like this, it should have been just a few hours ago.

Xiang Beifei's eyes flickered for a moment before he continued reading. After a series of irrelevant journal entries, he saw the following—

[June 15, 3031, you left the core base alone, solo value +45]

[June 15, 3031, you single-handedly killed the Blood Spirit Nine Lightning Dove, solo value +46]

Xiang Beifei quickly grasped this clue!

"Leaving the core base, and the next entry is about killing the Blood Spirit Nine Lightning Dove, this means the Blood Spirit Nine Lightning Dove must have been near the core base!"

The Blood Spirit Nine Lightning Dove is a mid-Meridian Opening desolate beast, which indicates that it was in the Marquis Domain, meaning that at the time, this guy left from the core base.

So, in the desolate wilderness outside of Yuzhou, which area of the Marquis Domain is the Blood Spirit Nine Lightning Dove distributed in?

Xiang Beifei wanted to continue reading, but suddenly Dai Ping glanced over at a certain position, and a new mission appeared on his system interface:

[You took a call alone, solo value +21]

That guy seemed to be talking to someone, his figure flashed to the side, and the system interface was blocked by the wall, quickly becoming invisible.

"Xiaohei, go and listen to what he is saying," Xiang Beifei turned to Xiaohei, who was playing with a mobile phone, and said.

"Woof, woof!"

Xiaohei jumped up, wore a set of special high-tech glasses for dogs, looking like a spy dog, spirited and tidy, and disappeared from the room in no time.

When it reappeared, it was already crouched next to Dai Ping's ear, earnestly fiddling with the glasses arm with its paw, seriously listening to the phone call with this unrestrained guy.

Xiang Beifei withdrew his gaze and then went back to the room, sat on the sofa, and also pressed the glasses arm. Soon, two voices came through the glasses' microphone.

——

"Yes, he's staying in Room 603 of the Holiday Hotel, I'm monitoring him," Dai Ping said, his voice somewhat gruff.

"Any discoveries?" The other voice was lower, but familiar.

Then Xiang Beifei recognized it—it was Qin Hongyi's voice!

"Nothing. He seems to be just a normal Liangzhou University graduate. I've verified his records; he indeed is an S-class student from Liangzhou University, and the graduate's records check out. He's an orphan with no family," Dai Ping said.

"Who would have thought that the person we've been looking for so long would be at Liangzhou University! This student possesses a very special ability that is very important for our organization's research. Make sure to keep an eye on him! If he comes to the company tomorrow, that's fine, but if not, we will have to take forceful measures!" Qin Hongyi commanded.

"Understood."

Dai Ping replied, paused for a while, and then asked, "How much longer can your heart hold out?"

"Not much longer, I need to replace my heart again. The lifespan of these hearts is too short, and the rejection force is too strong. If we can confirm that this person's ability can solve the rejection issue with the Beast Pills, then we won't need to restrain ourselves in the future. We would possess the strength to counter the Su Alliance, so we must recruit him!" Qin Hongyi stated.

"Alright, I'll keep an eye on him. If there's any situation, I will inform you." Dai Ping quickly hung up the phone and then redirected his attention to Room 603 here.

——

Xiang Beifei listened carefully to their conversation, which was quite surprising.

This call provided him with a lot of information.

Qin Hongyi's ability to possess orifice transforming strength indeed relied on Beast Pills. But at the same time, it seemed that his heart needed to be replaced at any moment!

This meant that those whose cultivations had surged abruptly were essentially achieving it by inserting a Beast Pill into their heart.

However, there is a rejection force between the Beast Pill and humans. It is evident that without controlling this rejection force, the heart would deteriorate quickly.

"So, is this company doing so many desolate beast Beast Pill fusion experiments ultimately to find a way to overcome the rejection force?"

Xiang Beifei couldn't help thinking about that rampaging, out-of-control One-Armed Crab.

If that's the case, then what comes next will be easy.

The Erha's Hyperspace Variable is his patent, and only he could perform it.

His solution was simple—implant a jade piece carved with array patterns in all the hearts, then seal a bit of the "Return to the Original State" power within it, so whenever rejection force arises inside the heart, it would be reverted to simplicity.

This method was like putting a stent in the heart.

But for Xiang Beifei, all it would take was a thought, and he could make the Return to the Original State ineffective at any moment, causing the Return to the Original State to destroy the heart.

Clearly, Unrestrained must be using the combination of Beast Pills with humans to achieve a burst in strength, but they also have to deal with the consequences of severe heart damage.

If Xiang Beifei were to install a heart stent for every member of Unrestrained, wouldn't he be able to control the lifeline of these people?

As long as he wished, the lives of all those with implanted heart stents would be in his hands. Then dealing with Unrestrained would just be a matter of thought!

"Nice! Such an exciting task, how can I just let it go? Come on, I must help you mass-produce them!"

Xiang Beifei laughed happily.

Once he had equipped all the hearts of those who got stronger through Beast Pills with stents, he could confront Unrestrained.

If they dared to be arrogant, he just needed to snap his fingers, and a bunch of Unrestrained would collapse with a crackle and a pop.

That scene would certainly be spectacular!
