When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 667 - 491 Change the Alliance

When the brick hit Lady Qiu, golden patterns rapidly spread from the brick and soon began to extend over her body. Lady Qiu couldn't dodge at all, and in no time, she was enveloped in a layer of golden patterns, like a golden woven bag tightly wrapping her from head to toe.

"What a wicked brick!"

Lady Qiu was greatly startled!

Her speed was already severely restricted, and now she was also bound by the brick. The most bizarre part was that the brick completely ignored the existence of her spiritual power. No amount of spiritual power in her body could fend it off this time!

[The system has detected the host trapped within Xiang Beifei's golden pattern. Would you like to check in within this pattern?]

A prompt like this quickly popped up on Lady Qiu's system interface.

A conscientious system, checking in at all times!

"Check in!" Lady Qiu said subconsciously.

[Check-in reward: As-You-Wish Golden Bell Cover, check-in value +95]

This system is really something.

Xiang Beifei was quite impressed.

Check in wherever you go, and always get something good with each check-in. You can check in a hundred times a day, and although some rewards are rather ordinary, most of them are incredibly impressive!

With such a system, it was impossible for Lady Qiu not to grow stronger.

However—

Xiaohei, perched on Xiang Beifei's shoulder, let out a doggy chuckle as it had already grabbed the "As-You-Wish Golden Bell Cover" reward intended for Lady Qiu!

As long as Lady Qiu dared to check in where Xiang Beifei was, her check-in system would be directly nullified!

Xiang Beifei was the expert at dealing with such ostentatious systems!

"No good! I must find a way to leave this place!"

Lady Qiu made a prompt decision and looked at her system interface to find something she could exchange from the system!

Five million check-in points for a Thousand-Mile Talisman, you're the one!

Thereafter—

"Why did it fail!" Lady Qiu was horrified!

Just like He Caiwei, Zhu Yiji, and all other System Awakeners who had been dealt with by Xiang Beifei, Lady Qiu, after having exchanged a system item, fell into doubt about herself, now that she was trapped in the golden pattern!

Then she refused to believe it!

She kept trying to exchange!

She continued to disappear!

And thus, she entered a vicious cycle.

Xiaohei, already sharpening its claws, was doggy laughing, overwhelmed by the deliveries it was collecting!

—

"She can get great rewards every day, so why don't I capture her and take her around Jiuzhou for a stroll? Whenever she checks in for something, I'll just take it away?"

Xiang Beifei stroked his chin, thinking about how to maximize the "Check-in System."

Wherever Xiang Beifei was present, Lady Qiu's check-in rewards would be nullified!

Although most of these rewards were no longer of much use to the current Xiang Beifei, the thing was, he could refine these into spiritual power crystals and give them away!

There were still many who could make use of these items he didn't need.

There were so many in Jiuzhou who had helped him, and now there was a group of people pursuing unrestrained lives, like Xu Yang, and especially Chang Furong, who had awakened the [SSR-level Evil-accumulating System] but whose cultivation was only at the Meridian Opening stage. If he couldn't cultivate in the normal way, Xiang Beifei could find him a Cultivation Technique and pile on with spiritual power crystals.

Whether it was Xiao Sheng or Xu Yang and the others, he would need them in the future.

"Let's go! Begin our check-in journey."

Xiang Beifei waved his hand and kidnapped Lady Qiu, who was trapped by the brick!

—

Qiu Junyou confessed all of Lady Qiu's crimes. Elder Luo was originally furious and ready to confront Lady Qiu, but to his surprise, he found he could not find Lady Qiu anywhere.

He went to every place in the Alliance but could not find a trace of Lady Qiu. He even asked everyone, but no one had seen Lady Qiu.

"Could she have caught wind of this and fled in fear?"

Elder Luo frowned and then snorted coldly, "She sure ran away quickly!"

However, over the next month, he was surprised to discover that the entire Alliance seemed to be undergoing subtle changes. He couldn't specify what was changing, but it felt as if a positive and uplifted spirit was quietly spreading. The Su Alliance searches for beast eggs were becoming increasingly smooth.

Everywhere they went, the workers of the Alliance greeted and cooperated with them enthusiastically!

They were even overly enthusiastic!

Especially when Elder Luo personally made an appearance, the workers treated him like a deity, revering him, and unconditionally completing any task he assigned.

These Alliance workers, who used to only know about fishing and sunning their nets, were as if they had received a new age education. They had repented and finally embraced the mission to protect the civilians. Each of them was actively fulfilling their duties.

And those high-ranking SSR leaders had begun to devise a series of evaluations, whereby those who underperformed would be demoted, allowing the capable to rise in rank. Those who were demoted did not dare to complain; even the newly joined SSR members no longer dared to be arrogant in the Alliance.

Because they already knew that there was a person named Luo Yunxian in the Alliance, someone you did not want to mess with.

...

The woods of Liangzhou University.

As Elder Luo chewed on sunflower seeds, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The transformation of the Alliance in the past two months baffled him. He left the Alliance initially because its system was overly decadent and hopeless, so he was always seeking a way to change the fate of the Alliance.

He had believed that the road was long and arduous, and feared it would take a great deal of time to traverse, but inexplicably, recently, the entire mood within the Alliance had shifted, beginning to evolve in the direction he had hoped for.

He glanced at Xiang Beifei, who was cracking seeds beside him, his eyes filled with suspicion.

"What's wrong? Why do you keep staring at me?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"The recent operation to deal with beast eggs has been going smoothly, and every department within the Alliance has been cooperating with our Su Alliance work," Elder Luo said.

"Really? They are no longer opposing you?" Xiang Beifei feigned surprise.

"Not only are they not opposing, but they are also very cooperative with our work. With their cooperation, we have dealt with six hundred beast egg sites already," Elder Luo continued to stare at Xiang Beifei.

"Amazing! The Su Alliance works really efficiently; your leadership is commendable!" Xiang Beifei exclaimed.

Elder Luo narrowed his eyes and completely ignored Xiang Beifei's flattery.

"Lady Qiu has disappeared," Elder Luo continued.

"She's done too many bad things. Qiu Junyou has turned her in. Perhaps she feared you would slaughter her and has found a place to hide," Xiang Beifei said.

"It's not just Lady Qiu. Even Liu Laosan and Di He from the Council of Elders, that bunch who daydream about banding together to deal with me, have suddenly been abandoned by all. All their subordinates betrayed them, and disclosed all of their past crimes and the people they've killed. Now I've thrown them into the Alliance Prison," Elder Luo said.

The entire Alliance's upper echelons had been swept clean recently. As long as there was evidence, Elder Luo showed no mercy; those UR-level Heavenly Connection realm elders simply weren't his match.

"Abandoned by their followers? That is indeed strange."

Xiang Beifei stroked his chin, pondering seriously. He said, "Logically, their subordinates shouldn't be able to betray them. These are all UR-level big shots with well-crafted methods of manipulation; how could they have been betrayed by their subordinates? This matter needs a thorough investigation!"

Elder Luo kept his eyes on Xiang Beifei, then hesitated once more.

Strange, this brat talks as if he knows nothing. Could it be that my suspicions are wrong, and he is unrelated to this matter?

"How do you see this situation?" Elder Luo asked.

"I find it very odd, but regardless of who is responsible, at least the changes in the Alliance are for the better," Xiang Beifei said.

Elder Luo continued to scrutinize Xiang Beifei, the suspicion in his eyes growing stronger.

"You know, just yesterday, there was a sudden meeting within the Alliance to elect a Supreme Commander for the Alliance, someone to lead the entire Alliance. Every SSR and UR level executive participated."

"Supreme Commander?"

"Yes, the position of Supreme Commander has been vacant for a long time, almost twenty years without mention. For major issues, it has always been the Council of Elders to deliberate, fundamentally not allowing one person to hold too much power," Elder Luo said.

The Alliance's high-level powers were intricate and interwoven. The nine elite universities each sent their own cultivated students into the Alliance. There were many UR-level Awakeners in the Alliance, each proud and arrogant with considerable strength; they didn't yield to one another, making it improbable for them to consent to having someone from one specific side leading everyone.

"So what then?"

"They chose me."

"Chose you?"

"Not a single person objected," Elder Luo said indifferently.

"That's what everyone wished for?" Xiang Beifei said.

Elder Luo spat the shell of the sunflower seed from his mouth, then said, "I know all too well the past climate of the Alliance, where the UR system and its hierarchy reign supreme. Whether or not I'm the candidate of unanimous hope, even I, an SR-level individual, have my own sense of it."

"Maybe everyone has seen your leadership in dealing with those beast eggs lately, recognized your capabilities, and understood that Jiuzhou cannot do without you, which is why they chose you?"

"That's where the issue lies. Do you know who brought up this proposal?"

"Who?"

"Ren Jianghai!" Elder Luo said slowly.

Ren Jianghai, a professor at Qingzhou University with cultivation at the orifice transforming stage. But the problem is that the students he taught have consistently outperformed those from Liangzhou University, often acting insolently before Elder Luo, making him an individual that Elder Luo finds particularly disagreeable.

"Suddenly, his attitude towards me became very respectful, he listed all my strengths and formally apologized, expressing his hope that I would take on the role of Supreme Commander."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"This is not good!"

Elder Luo simply stated, "Everyone in the Alliance has changed, as if an enigmatic force is working behind the scenes, manipulating everyone, all pushing for me to become their highest leader. If I accept, what have I become? A puppet?"

Xiang Beifei's mouth fell open, not having anticipated Elder Luo's line of thought.

"Such changes in the Alliance are extremely dangerous for Jiuzhou as they would concentrate all power in my hands! Any command I issue could sway the development of the Alliance.

Yet I'm unaware of where this manipulating force comes from! All these subtle changes are happening right under my nose, but I can't find the source, indicating that this force surpasses my range of abilities.

If I accept the Alliance, the next moment that force may come for me, turning to manipulate me! Clearly, it has the ability to change the minds of so many high-level Awakeners, achieving what I cannot do, meaning I cannot possibly contend with it. Once I am controlled by that force, the whole of Jiuzhou would be under its control!"

A gleam of sharp light flashed in Elder Luo's eyes: "Therefore, I must first find out what this force is, why it has such immense power!"
