When system cheat becomes rampant!

Xiang Qingde was bent over, cleaning the corridor, talking to himself, "Who lacks such public spirit to leave the trash like this? After all, this is a public place."

It was unclear who had carelessly scattered the garbage all over the corridor. Shreds of paper were flying around. After sweeping the trash in front of his own door, he realized there was still much litter along the corridor, and he decided to sweep it all.

The residential environment here was not good, mixed with all sorts of people, many of whom were just trying to make a living and did not pay much attention to cleanliness.

"The entry in the diary mentioning forgetting his cultivation, could it really be referring to Grandpa?"

By now, Xiang Beifei had attained the Meridian Opening stage of cultivation. In this society, reaching the Meridian Opening stage could be considered being in the front ranks, seen as a master in the eyes of ordinary people.

But even someone like Xiang Beifei could not discern more about his grandfather's condition.

"Eh, Xiaofei! How come you are back today?"

At that moment, Xiang Qingde looked up and saw Xiang Beifei standing at the stairway corner, lost in thought, at first he was startled, soon showing a look of joy and smiling.

"Grandpa, it's winter break." Xiang Beifei walked over.

"I thought you would come back in a few more days. Last time you said you wanted to stay longer, I didn't rush you, worried it might interfere with your studies."

Xiang Qingde cheerfully patted Xiang Beifei's shoulder and then checked him over carefully, pinching his arm, and said, "You've gotten a bit thin, need to eat more!"

Xiang Beifei wasn't thin; in fact, he had an astonishing appetite at school every day and needed nutrition to keep up with his daily training; strictly speaking, he had gotten sturdier.

But in the eyes of the elderly, no matter how much he ate, he was always thin.

"I know, Grandpa, you should eat more too," Xiang Beifei said.

"Haha, Grandpa won't starve! Daming keeps tempting me with delicious meals every day; he's really good at cooking; I can't even think about cutting back, hahaha..."

Xiang Qingde laughed heartily, his face glowing red and looking very healthy, because Xiang Beifei wasn't home, so he didn't need to cook and thus settled his meals at the restaurant.

Kong Daming owned the Gluttonous Feast System, as a former pioneer, later chosen to return to a normal life, he opened a restaurant and led a stable life. His culinary skills were quite extraordinary, really attracting people. His restaurant business was always booming, and considering he was the father of an old comrade-in-arms, Kong Daming always took good care of Xiang Qingde in terms of meals.

"Got it all wrong, you've just come back, how can I let you stand around like a fool? Hurry inside and rest. I'll finish sweeping the ground, then we can talk properly about this term's matters," Xiang Qingde said.

"Allow me to do the sweeping!" Xiang Beifei said.

"No need, no need, I can handle this kind of work," Xiang Qingde waved his hand.

"It'll be quick."

Xiang Beifei thought for a moment, stepped forward gently, and a wave of Spiritual Power swept from under his feet, quickly covering all the dust on the ground, the doorway's paper debris and dust obediently whirled into the trash can.

"Eh?" Xiang Qingde looked at Xiang Beifei in surprise, "You have this trick up your sleeve?"

"At school, you have to learn something, right? It'll be useful for making a living later on," Xiang Beifei said with a smile.

"Nonsense, you were sent to the Martial Arts College to learn how to fight desolate beasts and protect homes and provinces, not to learn menial tasks like sweeping!" Xiang Qingde scolded Xiang Beifei seriously.

However, after a while, he murmured, "I have to say, it's really clean."

"We learn how to control Spiritual Power at the Martial Arts College, I just picked up a bit and wanted to show it off to Grandpa," Xiang Beifei said.

"All this from just a single stomp?" Xiang Qingde asked, puzzled.

"Yes, one stomp is enough."

"Can you shake off some of the dust on the ceiling?"

"Probably."

Xiang Qingde's eyes lit up, sizing up his grandson as if discovering a new species!

"Alright, then go inside and stomp a few more times, shake the dust off the whole house; there's a lot of dust in the nooks that I can't get to."

Such a handy cleaning tool for a grandson.

Why not use it if it's free.

Xiang Qingde probably didn't even realize what his grandson meant among the Jiuzhou elite university freshmen.

That was the universally acknowledged top freshman of Jiuzhou this year!

Grounding other elite schools' SSR freshmen into the dirt!

The person who made countless genius students tremble in fear!

Yet, such a talented young man who could stomp on SSR Awakeners, the first thing he gets tasked with upon coming home, is being schemed by his grandfather to clean the house.

If those haughty SSR awakeners knew, they'd probably be shocked to their core! Such a misuse of great talent!

"No problem."

Xiang Beifei nodded, quite willing to comply.

No matter the talent, once at home, you still needed to act like a grandson.

Xiang Qingde cheerfully let Xiang Beifei step inside, then said, "Have you eaten yet? I didn't know you were coming today, so I didn't make any food. Rest a bit; I'll cook breakfast."

"No need, I brought food." Xiang Beifei was carrying a big bag of breakfast, "I brought some for Grandpa too."

"Why go to such trouble?" Xiang Qingde chided.

"It was on my way." Xiang Beifei placed the breakfast on the table, knowing that his grandfather usually didn't cook in the morning and just nibbled on a bun to get by, so he brought extra.

"Grandpa, don't skimp too much, we need to have a proper breakfast. Let's eat together later; otherwise, I can't eat and will end up throwing it away."

"What nonsense, you haven't even started eating and you're already thinking about throwing it away," Xiang Qingde's expression turned stern, but he still sat down.

But at that moment, Xiang Beifei's expression suddenly paused, he turned his head towards the living room ceiling opposite, then frowned.

"Woof!"

Xiaohei also barked alertly.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Qingde noticed Xiang Beifei suddenly stop and asked.

Xiang Beifei shifted his gaze away from the ceiling and casually said, "Nothing, Grandpa, has anyone visited our house recently?"

"No, just Kong Daming occasionally comes by, oh, and Lu Hong too. No one else really, except old Li from next door often comes over to chat with me, but I spend most of my time at the shop," Xiang Qingde replied.

Xiang Beifei nodded slightly and gestured to Xiaohei.

"Woof!"

Xiaohei stared intently at that spot.

Right across from the living room door, on the ceiling, there was an almost invisible sticker the size of a pinky nail, similar to correction tape used in school, practically unnoticeable.

That sticker had a faintly drawn eye on it—it was an invisible camera!

An item from the system.

Others might not notice these subtle system fluctuations, but they couldn't fool Xiang Beifei.

"Is it an SR-level system item?"

Xiang Beifei carefully felt it again and furrowed his brows once more.

It was still God Refining stage system fluctuations!

Was there a God Refining stage SR Awakener surveilling their house?

He opened the door to his bedroom, entered, and threw his backpack on the bed, but soon discovered another hidden surveillance camera on his bedroom's ceiling!

They didn't spare even the bedroom?

"Planning on watching me sleep?"

Xiang Beifei snorted lightly, opened his wardrobe, which was neatly organized with clothes. It wasn't him who had done this; rather, it was his grandfather, probably because he was not home and had nothing else to do, so he had tidied up all his clothes.

He casually flipped through the clothes and called out, "Grandpa, is my towel in your room?"

"Didn't I put your towel in your wardrobe?"

"I didn't find it, I'll check your wardrobe to see if it was misplaced."

Xiang Beifei left his room and entered his grandfather's bedroom.

As soon as he entered, he sensed another system fluctuation.

His expression grew cold.

Someone had silently placed various cameras all around his house!

Before Xiang Beifei had awakened his system, his life had always been peaceful, and he hadn't noticed any signs of surveillance. However, since he had awakened his system, things had started to feel off.

First, there was Xu Yang. After entering college and returning home, he was greeted with all sorts of surveillance, not sparing even the bedroom.

And his grandfather seemed completely unaware. How long had he been under surveillance?

Xiang Beifei casually flipped through the neat wardrobe, pretending to look for a towel while pondering.

"The towel's here! I folded it nicely, it's on the lower shelf," Xiang Qingde called out from Xiang Beifei's bedroom.

"Is it? I couldn't find it just now."

Xiang Beifei closed the wardrobe and walked out.

Xiang Qingde handed a clean towel to Xiang Beifei, "I put it in your wardrobe, knowing you were coming back. I even washed it a couple of days ago, along with the bedsheets and quilt, and sunned them well."

"Grandpa, you didn't have to go to the trouble."

Xiang Beifei took the towel, which still emitted a sun-dried scent, cheering his mood.

"It's no trouble. You're not home, and I have nothing else to do, so I just tidied up your bedroom a bit. You haven't been home for a while, I had to prepare everything for you," Xiang Qingde said with a hearty laugh.

He had raised Xiang Beifei on his own, always taking care of various household chores for him. Now that his grandson was at college, the house suddenly felt empty, and he wasn't used to it, so he kept busy with chores.

Xiang Beifei felt somewhat guilty.

He should have come home more often, but this semester had indeed been too hectic; Xiang Beifei also aimed to enhance his cultivation swiftly, spending weekends either cultivating or busy with all sorts of chores, and hadn't returned for four or five months.

And upon his return, he found so many cameras installed at home.

Xiang Beifei grabbed his grandfather's arm, as Spiritual Power silently spread through.

There were no traces of control on his body, nor any other peculiar system fluctuations remaining.

He was a normal person.

Fortunately, whoever was monitoring them hadn't laid a hand on him.

"What's up?" Xiang Qingde asked.

"Just checking if Grandpa lost weight," Xiang Beifei said.

"Silly boy, how could Grandpa be thin? My wrist is even thicker than yours," Xiang Qingde said, laughing merrily.

Xiang Beifei washed his face with the towel and then sat down with his grandfather to eat breakfast.

He wasn't in a rush to remove the cameras because he was currently an N-level Awakener at the Meridian Opening stage, and logically and emotionally, he shouldn't have detected such high-level surveillance of the SR and even God Refining stages.

It wasn't wise to startle the snake before the situation was clear.

He had to thoroughly investigate this matter.

Nevertheless, Xiang Beifei had Xiaohei simply blow a bubble to shield these system-type cameras. In the room, the cameras could only see two people eating, but whatever they wanted to say or do, Xiaohei could freely control.

Whatever pictures the system cameras wanted to see, Xiaohei was able to create specific images for them.

After all, it was the ancestor of system items.

Anyone wanting a glimpse into Xiang Beifei's life had to ask Xiaohei first.
