When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 617 - 456: Stand Aside! (4000 words)_2

"We need to live in a better place; the old house was a bit too dark," Kong Daming said. "Leave this to me. I remember a family on my floor moved out recently, just two doors down from me, diagonally opposite, which would be convenient for looking out for each other if you move in."

"When is Uncle Kong's restaurant planning to open?" Xiang Beifei inquired further.

The appearance of the One-Armed Crab, a desolate beast, hadn't been fully investigated yet, and Xiang Beifei's main suspect was still at large.

Xiao Sheng!

The imposter who masqueraded as an N-level clerk, an SR—before the desolate beast appeared that day, had disappeared without a trace. Xiang Beifei wanted to see if Xiao Sheng would return to work.

"The day after tomorrow! The staff have been asking about it too. Speaking of which, I need to contact those employees; we've been closed for so long," Kong Daming said.

"Then I'll go to the wholesale market tomorrow. We've run out of ingredients, so I need to renegotiate with them," Xiang Qingde said.

Kong Daming hurriedly said, "Don't bother, Uncle Xiang, you should rest. I can handle it."

"We've been resting for so long; it's good to move around a bit. I'm familiar with that place anyway. With the reopening, there's a lot of work to be done in the restaurant, and many customers have made reservations, waiting for us to open again. It'll be busy for you. I can go tomorrow." Xiang Qingde waved his hand and insisted.

Kong Daming couldn't argue with that and had to agree.

When Xiang Beifei returned home, he made a point of talking to his grandfather in front of the living room camera and clarified his reasons for moving out, saying directly that he was now capable of making money and didn't want to live there anymore.

For a martial artist in the Meridian Opening phase, making enough money to support themselves was far from difficult. The person monitoring his family, as long as they weren't foolish, would certainly find out Xiang Beifei's current Cultivation Realm if they inquired at the school, and no one would doubt this excuse.

Thus, the person should move on to the new house. Xiang Beifei was curious to see who would dare to secretly install surveillance under his watch.

After saying all this, Xiaohei proceeded to block the camera again.

The grandfather and grandson packed up their belongings together that evening, and true enough, they had quite a lot of stuff.

"We need to call for a vehicle; there's no elevator, and later we can carry everything down together," Xiang Qingde considered the most convenient way to move.

"I can handle the stuff by myself, Grandpa. You don't need to worry too much; just rest," Xiang Beifei said.

"How can I let you handle it alone? You can't move all this stuff by yourself! I'm still capable of working; I'll help you carry it," Xiang Qingde was concerned about his grandson getting exhausted, knowing that moving houses was indeed hard work.

Xiang Beifei was both amused and exasperated. "Grandpa, why do I always feel like you've forgotten that I'm a martial artist?"

"What does being a martial artist have to do with it? Many martial artists have to hire movers when they move, don't they?" Xiang Qingde responded.

Xiang Beifei stomped his foot again, and all the packed boxes began to float up into mid-air.

Lighter than a feather.

It was a matter of lightening the weight of the objects and then using Spiritual Power to lift them.

Xiang Qingde watched in amazement: "I had no idea you had this ability!"

Xiang Beifei realized that he had rarely discussed his abilities with his grandfather. He smiled, set everything back down, then glanced up at the ceiling camera and said, "Rest assured, Grandpa. I'll handle everything from now on; you just take it easy."

Xiang Qingde paused and gazed at Xiang Beifei, lost in thought.

There was a time when he was always cautiously protecting his grandson, guarding his self-esteem, encouraging him to be positive, and hoping he wouldn't give up on himself.

But ever since his grandson had awakened to the system, Xiang Beifei had changed. He had become more diligent and cheerful, and now, as a martial artist in the Meridian Opening phase, he possessed the ability to protect himself.

It wasn't until after a while that Xiang Qingde came back to his senses and smiled: "The Awakening System truly is a blessing."

It was then that he suddenly felt old, realizing that he needed his grandson to protect HIM now.

This is good, seeing my grandson so sensible makes me very happy.

Moving house isn't difficult. Ordinary N-level Awakeners who move, if they don't have the appropriate space-related Systems, need to hire moving companies, rent a truck, and spend a considerable amount of money.

Xiang Beifei doesn't need to, just let Xiaohei blow bubbles.

"Xiaofei is a big celebrity now; we'll all be relying on you in the future!" Kong Daming joked.

"Isn't being a celebrity very tiring? I've heard you have to shoot various films every day," Lu Zhiwei said curiously.

"That won't do! Beifei needs to train," Lu Hong said seriously. Without realizing it, he had already started referring to Beifei as Xiaofei. In his view, Xiang Beifei was still a martial artist, who should prioritize training.

Chen Xiuqin walked in from outside and laughed, "I won't lie to you, these past few days I've received so many calls from talent agencies. They know I'm acquainted with Xiaofei, constantly inquiring about related commercial activities, offering a lot of money to see if Xiaofei would be willing to sign with their company."

"What did you say?" Kong Daming asked.

"Of course, I said we would consider it. How could I decide on such a matter? We still need to ask Xiaofei's opinion," Chen Xiuqin laughed. She hadn't agreed to anyone, but she hadn't completely refused either. After all, she had to leave Xiang Beifei some room for choice.

Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment and said, "I really need to train and don't have time to shoot movies or commercials. However, when I have time, I can start a column specially teaching everyone how to kill desolate beasts, so they won't be in a panic when they encounter such situations."

He needed to use this identity to properly guide everyone.

Lu Hong's eyes lit up, and he nodded, "Right, many civilians living in inland cities have too superficial a concept of desolate beasts, and most lack a sense of crisis. Your idea is good."

Mighty desolate beasts were nothing new to martial artists, but for civilians, encounters were still rare. It was only natural for Xiang Beifei, a martial artist, to engage in promotional activities for martial artists.

"That would be great, I'll help you promote it. As a celebrity, one inevitably needs to specialize in a direction. You're a martial artist, so you have to do it in the way of a martial artist," she added.

Chen Xiuqin was also somewhat of an entertainment industry worker, having dealt with many celebrities. She knew very well how to handle marketing. As Xiang Beifei's number one 'mom fan,' Chen Xiuqin was very willing to help Xiang Beifei.

So the matter was settled. Xiang Beifei didn't need to do anything; when the next semester began, he would simply shoot a few videos while on missions in the outer desolate lands. It was a simple task.

But speaking of which—

"Does she really think she can manipulate my fame as she pleases?"

The last person who wanted to exploit Xiang Beifei's fame for profit had already been dealt with by him.

This time, thinking of making decisions without consulting him and pushing him to the forefront was clearly a deliberate move to expose him.

The reason the Alliance wanted such a genius exposed was quite obvious.

The main reason was that Xiang Beifei was a disciple of Elder Luo!

Elder Luo and the Alliance didn't have a good relationship, and the people from the Alliance were even wary of Elder Luo, because they couldn't suppress such a noncompliant SR-level Awakener. They were concerned about Elder Luo cultivating his influence at Liangzhou University.

With a genius like Xiang Beifei emerging, it brought them immense threat!

So they were intending to target Xiang Beifei!

Once a normal person is exposed, it becomes difficult to remain low-key. Wherever one goes, attention follows.

By exposing Xiang Beifei in this manner, they were forcibly aligning him with the Alliance, placing him under the surveillance of the entire Jiuzhou, which nearly eliminated his ability to surreptitiously oppose the Alliance. His every move would be under their watch.

Later on, whatever arrangement the Alliance had, Xiang Beifei would have to comply.

In the eyes of the Alliance, Xiang Beifei would become a piece that could, in turn, constrain Elder Luo. They aimed to isolate Elder Luo, keep an eye on him, and weaken his influence in a special way.

But Mu Yiqing wouldn't really think I'd obediently conform and act according to her plans, would she?
