When system cheat becomes rampant!

Xiang Beifei looked at the criminal in the video with a bemused expression.

Because in the video, he directly saw what the system was.

The criminal, who had awakened an [R-level Artful Persuasion System], was deceiving an elderly man, whose mind wasn't clear, into spending all his savings on useless health products and various chaotic medicines.

The elderly man, clearly an N-level, couldn't compete with the R-level salesperson and took out all his life savings to buy a bunch of useless things.

Suddenly, Xiang Beifei thought that moving to the urban village with his grandfather after his parents' accident was indeed a wise choice.

They had originally lived in the same community as Kong Xiuwen, but Xiang Qingde still decided to move, fearing situations like the one in the video. The elderly and the young, if targeted by unscrupulous salespeople using the system to swindle all the alliance's compensation money, would end up even worse.

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but praise his grandfather's wisdom.

"Forget it, I'll just write that the man in the video awakened a [Sales System]."

Xiang Beifei didn't need to score too high in the "System Analysis and Processing" class.

——

The third mandatory course was "Overview of Liangzhou Alliance Defense." Just from the name of this course, it sounded quite dull—at least it was definitely about how the Liangzhou Alliance's borders prevent desolate beasts from the external wilds.

However, this course was taught by an SR-level teacher named Guo Zhenghong, who had awakened a system called [Counterattack System]. What specific abilities this system had, Xiang Beifei was not sure yet because Guo Zhenghong's cultivation was clearly at least at the God Refining stage, maybe even higher.

But from the name [Counterattack System], one could roughly understand the problem; it probably was some kind of powerful defensive system.

Before the class began, Elder Luo had mentioned that Professor Guo Zhenghong, besides being a professor at Liangzhou University for the Liangzhou Alliance Defense course, also served as the command chief of Liangzhou's defense frontline!

That is to say, he was a frontline guardian.

Professor Guo was very strict about this course, spoke with a loud and commanding voice, his face stern and stable, emitting a formidable presence as if there was a fierce beast lurking in his heart.

As soon as he started speaking, all the students realized this professor was not to be trifled with.

"You are all students of elite universities. The Liangzhou Alliance has provided you with various favorable educational policies, extra points on your college entrance exams to help you get into elite universities, painstakingly training you, not for you to play around! You carry the heavy responsibility of guarding the alliance's safety! So, in this class, I want you all to be alert. As martial artists, you must learn how to resist desolate beasts, how to protect civilians in dangerous times, and protect all the territories of Jiuzhou!"

Guo Zhenghong looked to be in his fifties, with somewhat messy gray hair, a solemn expression, and a serious demeanor, appearing as a precise and upright person. He directly got to the point as soon as the class started, making it clear about the importance of this course.

"The nine elite universities are all located in the nine key areas on the outermost periphery of the Liangzhou Alliance near the external wilds border. Our Liangzhou University is the same. When the beast tide comes, you, as students of an elite university, need to be on the frontlines fighting the desolate beasts!

So, no matter what system you have awakened, no matter what level of genius Awakener you are, in my eyes, it makes no difference!

In my class, listen carefully! Study hard the basic measures of Jiuzhou's defense, whether it's the outer formations, technological defense shields, various tools to defend against desolate beasts, you all need to master them well! I despise students who try to cut corners. If you don't master this class, don't think about graduating!"

As soon as he started teaching, he gave all the students a tough lesson!

No one dared to speak, facing an SR-level professor, even the SR Awakener students like Long Guocheng were stunned.

Before cultivating, SR freshmen were nothing at all, even an S-level teacher in the Meridian Opening stage could intimidate them.

"Especially those with outstanding talents—I don't care what System talents you have awakened; I only care whether you can resist and kill desolate beasts. In my class, all students will be treated equally,"

Guo Zhenghong, being a professor-level educator and the captain of the Liangzhou Alliance command team, felt a strong sense of responsibility and had high demands for his students. He glanced over the class, his gaze sweeping past those three SR students, particularly warning Long Guocheng.

Long Guocheng felt uneasy as he had been proudly talking with several female classmates after class, gathering attention value. When Guo Zhenghong entered, he did not speak to him but fixed him with a pair of cold eyes—the look alone subdued Long Guocheng.

In front of this iron-handed professor, Long Guocheng had to reluctantly drop his proud SR demeanor. In terms of System talents, the professor was also an SR, not weaker than you; in terms of cultivation, he was far beyond you. Long Guocheng had nothing to be proud of in front of this professor.

"We need to learn the attack methods of the beast tides and then adjust various defensive abilities to counter them. When a beast tide comes, you all will need to be assigned to various posts, using your capabilities to kill desolate beasts!"

Professor Guo scanned the entire class, which was silent, possibly because of his compelling SR-level pressure or the sharpness he naturally possessed; no one dared to let their minds wander.

"The Jiuzhou Alliance's defense class is not just a theory class but also a practical course! I am not only teaching you defensive knowledge but also how to combat desolate beasts. After you've grasped a few theory lessons, we will head to simulation classes, where you will experience various beast tide attacks, learning how to respond, how to protect yourselves and your comrades, and protect all the civilians of Jiuzhou!"

Professor Guo scanned the classroom, paused, and continued, "Thus, I need a class representative for this course. This person needs to have extremely high talents, strong judgment skills, and a thorough understanding of desolate beasts to assist me in teaching every practical defense class!"

Selection of the class representative!

This matter excited many students.

Being the class representative for a course, especially for an SR-level professor's course, was a great honor! Who wouldn't want to converse more with an SR professor?

However, the matter of the class representative, while eagerly considered by many, was beyond their capabilities, as someone had already been recommended.

"Teacher, I recommend classmate Long Guocheng! Long Guocheng is an SR-level Awakener, highly skilled, handsome, and has a commanding presence, fully capable of shouldering this responsibility!" a girl at the back gazed at Long Guocheng with starry eyes.

"Yes, yes, I also recommend Long Guocheng! Being an SR-level Awakener, he must be at the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling by now, with limitless future potential. His fine demeanor is surely enough to shoulder the defenses of Jiuzhou, and killing desolate beasts is definitely no problem." another girl excitedly chimed in.

"I agree with choosing Long Guocheng! Having someone as handsome as him teaching us, we would definitely learn very diligently."

Many in the class seemed to agree with Long Guocheng taking on the role of class representative, mostly girls, all looking at Long Guocheng adoringly; he was already recognized as the freshman male idol.

Long Guocheng slightly puffed out his chest, basking in the adoration of many. If it really came to a vote, he could definitely win by a large margin. His confidence had been waning these past few days, and now was the moment to regain it!

However, Professor Guo coldly snorted and sternly rebuked those girls:

"Nonsense! Do you think this is a talent show? Is going into battle based on good looks? Is withstanding beast tides done with that nonsensical fan culture? Can handsome looks really shoulder the defense of Jiuzhou? What kind of twisted logic is that?

You all are martial arts students, tasked with the responsibility of guarding the Alliance. Throw away that messy fan culture nonsense! Will desolate beasts spare you because you are handsome? Do they share the same aesthetic as humans? You might look handsome in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of desolate beasts, you are just a monstrosity! My course needs not just pretty boys but iron-blooded men who can protect the nation and kill desolate beasts!"

Professor Guo's voice was very stern, striking fear into the hearts of those girls eager to nominate the handsome Long Guocheng as the class representative, causing them to turn pale, shrink their heads, and remain silent.

These girls, having just started college, still harbored a youthful, girly heart, where good looks were justice. But presenting such views was harshly criticized by the straightforward-natured Professor Guo.
