When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 528 - 397: The Failed UR System (4k Words)_2
It was also quite savvy, knowing that Zhu Yiji specifically used small system values to verify his own system, so it deliberately did not go after those 1 or 10 point Square and Round Rules. It targeted the bigger scores!
"Our gains these past few days have been so-so, I suppose!" Xiang Beifei rubbed Xiaohei's head, tallying the system items he currently possessed.
From He Caiwei, he had managed to secure tens of millions of uniqueness value, which, when converted into spiritual power crystals, amounted to about nine God Refining late stage, three orifice transforming early stage, four orifice transforming middle stage, and one orifice transforming late stage!
However, he got relatively less from Zhu Yiji, only two orifice transforming early stage spiritual power crystals.
But no matter, as long as Zhu Yiji couldn't recover to the Heavenly Connection level, Xiaohei had him completely under control!
The worst thing he did was trying to set rules for Xiang Beifei with a circle while at Liangzhou University.

Setting such rules would lead to a lifetime of regret!

Zhu Yiji, frustrated and furious, investigated his system's issues when suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Master, this is bad, something has happened," someone outside said urgently.
This was his personal butler, Du Mao, an SR-level Awakener.
"Is it Luo Yunxian who has come?"
Zhu Yiji's expression changed. His biggest concern was that Luo Yunxian would charge into the Alliance headquarters alone and give them another thrashing, so he deliberately hid in an extremely secluded place, daring not to show his face.
Du Mao carefully glanced at Zhu Yiji and said in a low voice, "It's not him, but there's something more important. I've sent you a video. It's currently going viral on the internet, absolutely exploding."
Zhu Yiji frowned, suppressed his rage, then pulled out his phone and opened the video link.
Soon, his face turned ashen!
The video displayed the events of a week earlier, starting with the interrogation of Professor Guo, through Huang Yuwen and his group truthfully incriminating Wu Shixuan, followed by He Caiwei's provocations, Ye Changfeng and Xiang Beifei's repelling of Cao Pei, including He Caiwei creating a system space, brazenly declaring his intent to kill Professor Guo, only to end up beaten by Professor Guo, and finally Zhu Yiji getting blasted to the ground by Elder Luo...
Every spoken word and every action taken by everyone during the entire process, including Zhu Yiji's attempts to use his own powers to block others' methods, were thoroughly recorded!
Annotations accompanied the footage, including who the people were, their positions within the alliance, why they spoke as they did, and their motives—everything was labeled clearly, so that even those with poor comprehension, as long as they could read, would undoubtedly understand what this video implied.
The video had begun spreading online, with viewership climbing rapidly. Uploaded less than an hour ago, it had already garnered a hundred thousand views!
"Who released this video? Why isn't it deleted yet?" Zhu Yiji shouted outside the door.
Soon, Du Mao, who was waiting outside, came in with his head bowed and said, "Master, the Alliance said they can't delete the video. It seems very unusual, extremely powerful."
"How can it not be deleted? Are those people in the Alliance Development Department just slacking off? Isn't there a God maintaining order online?" Zhu Yiji roared.
This was truly a case of misfortune piling up as his system issues had not been fully resolved yet, and now this troublesome matter had emerged.
Last week, the Alliance had initiated an investigation into the event involving Professor Guo, which the "Idle Faction" had forcibly suppressed. The outside world was largely unaware of what had occurred at Liangzhou University that day, and the students at Liangzhou University were kept completely in the dark.
But if this video spread widely, the matter would become utterly uncontrollable.
No matter how strong the secrecy measures, they couldn't silence all the Awakeners across the Jiuzhou continent!
"They say they are trying to mitigate the negative impact on the Alliance, but... they can't block this video. They've tried every system ability, but nothing works! Even God seems to be helpless," Du Mao said in panic.
"Delete it! Completely erase it! If this video still exists in an hour, I'll have your dog life! Get out!"
Zhu Yiji waved his hand, and a slap landed across Du Mao's face!
"Yes, yes!"
Feeling his face burn from the unwarranted slap, Du Mao stood still, not daring to move. While the incident was clearly unrelated to him, he had to suffer the consequences.
He didn't dare to even breathe loudly but could only hang his head and scuttle out submissively.
"Damn bastard! Deserves to be dealt with by Luo Yunxian!"
After closing the door, Du Mao couldn't help but curse Zhu Yiji in his heart!
He was an SR-grade Awakener, a prestigious figure wherever he went. However, in Zhu Yiji's employ, he could only serve as the butler.
Normally, being the butler for Zhu Yiji was something many dreamt of, SR-grade included.
After all, Zhu Yiji was a UR-grade Awakener and a minister of the Su Alliance! He possessed power, strength, and status. Keeping company with such a prominent figure naturally elevated Du Mao's own status. Even SSR-grade Awakeners had to treat him with respect.
However, since Zhu Yiji's return last week, Du Mao had noticed his standing in the Zhu family plummeting and he had repeatedly become the target of Zhu Yiji's scolding and outlet for his rage.
That day, he was just on the phone with a friend, mentioning he was an SR-grade Awakener and a graduate of Liangzhou University. Zhu Yiji just happened to pass by and hear this, and suddenly, he slapped him!
That look in his eyes was as if Du Mao had committed some unforgivable sin.
Du Mao was also dumbfounded by the slap.
Only upon seeing that video from Liangzhou University did he understand the reason.
It turned out Zhu Yiji had been miserably beaten by the SR-grade Luo Yunxian!
As an SR-grade Awakener and a graduate of Liangzhou University, Du Mao, being Zhu Yiji's assistant, almost reminded Zhu Yiji of that humiliating episode at Liangzhou University, where he, a dignified UR-grade, was mercilessly humiliated by an SR-grade.
"I shouldn't have come to report this! Can't beat Luo Yunxian, so he hits me? His authority all expended on me, what an old bastard!"
Massaging his face, Du Mao felt intense hatred for Zhu Yiji.
He deliberately went to a secluded place and replayed the video of Zhu Yiji being brutally beaten by Luo Yunxian ten times, finally feeling somewhat appeased!
Although he wasn't a match for Zhu Yiji, the sight of UR-grade Zhu Yiji being beaten by SR-grade Luo Yunxian was satisfying indeed!
No way, he had to edit this clip! A super stress-relieving video, to be secretly watched whenever Zhu Yiji scorned him, guaranteeing immediate refreshment!
"Professor Luo is truly the pride of us SR-grades, powerful and domineering! And he stands up for his own! It'd be much better to side with him than with Zhu Yiji..."
Du Mao envied Xiang Beifei and Ye Changfeng deeply and regretted not having connected more with Professor Luo during his university days.
Having been by Zhu Yiji's side for years, Du Mao knew very well how Zhu handled affairs. Past scandals were forcefully suppressed, but clearly, this video seemed beyond suppression by the alliance.
If it became widely known throughout Jiuzhou, it meant Zhu Yiji and others like He Caiwei would be utterly disgraced, definitely causing big trouble!
If he were implicated, it wouldn't be good. With the tree fallen, the monkeys would scatter; it was best to pack up and flee early to avoid another unfounded beating next time he reported.
"Should I go to Professor Luo for shelter? But they probably won't trust me. Perhaps...I should take more of Zhu Yiji's dirty deeds with me as a show of good faith?"
Considering his options, Du Mao thought it was time to tender his resignation. He was adept at picking sides and it was clear Zhu Yiji, this UR-grade, was no longer reliable. There were whispers within the alliance about the still vigorous Luo Yunxian planning a comeback, a sign it was time to latch onto a sturdier leg.
