When system cheat becomes rampant!

"Gone? Where did he go?" Kong Daming hurriedly inquired.

Zhang Xiang shook his head, "I don't know, I just asked Old Wu, and he said the old master had been in his room the whole time, never left, but when I knocked on the door for ages, there was no response, and when I went in, the man was nowhere to be seen."

"Could he have gone back home?" Kong Daming asked.

"Not clear," Zhang Xiang replied.

However, on the side, Ma Kainian snorted coldly, "An old man really thinks too highly of himself! Mr. Kong, are you messing with me?"

Kong Daming said sternly, "Mr. Ma, the old master was indeed feeling unwell today, he might have gone home, you should come back another time!"

"Such disrespect! I'd like to see if your store even has a next time!" Ma Kainian said coldly.

Just then, a figure hurried into the store.

"Uncle Kong, what's going on?" Xiang Beifei walked in.

"Xiaofei, you're here, did your grandfather go back home?" Kong Daming quickly asked.

"No, wasn't he here? I rushed over as soon as I got your message."

Xiang Beifei was originally cultivating. Xiaohei had been playing with his cellphone, and as soon as he saw the message, he immediately went to find him, and Xiang Beifei ceased his cultivation to hurry over.

"The old master has disappeared, I thought he might have gone home," Kong Daming briefly explained what had happened.

Xiang Beifei's brows furrowed, he had just walked over from home, and if his grandfather had returned, he should have encountered him, but he didn't see his grandfather's figure on his way here.

"Let me check."

Xiang Beifei intended to review the surveillance footage.

Meanwhile, Ma Kainian's eyes lit up when he saw Xiang Beifei!

His main reason for coming today was to find Xiang Qingde, to determine the address of the grandfather and grandson, and now that Xiang Beifei had arrived, Xiang Qingde was no longer important.

"Ahem!"

Ma Kainian coughed twice, attempting to draw Xiang Beifei's attention.

However, Xiang Beifei completely ignored him, going to check the store's surveillance. This infuriated Ma Kainian, as an officer of the Alliance Development Department, to be disregarded this way by someone like Xiang Beifei!

In this street, which N-level Awakener did not bow and scrape before him, showing the utmost respect, not giving him face, yet Xiang Beifei dared not to come greet him!

"You are Xiang Beifei, aren't you?" Ma Kainian asked.

Xiang Beifei glanced over at Ma Kainian, "And you are?"

"I am the Director of the Individual Business Department in the Alliance Development Department!" Ma Kainian lifted his head, saying arrogantly.

"Oh, nice to meet you."

Xiang Beifei had no interest in dealing with these Alliance people. He casually responded and continued reviewing the store's surveillance.

Seeing Xiang Beifei's dismissive attitude, Ma Kainian became even more irritated, saying, "Young fellow, you sure have an attitude! Is this how you behave when facing an official on duty from the Alliance?"

Xiang Beifei glanced at Ma Kainian's "S-level Picky System":

[Zhang Xiang's tea brewing fell short of three minutes, you found fault with him, picky value +20]

[Kong Daming's tea brewing didn't reach ninety-eight degrees, you found fault with him, picky value +14]

[You found fault with the sanitation conditions in Kong Daming's store, picky value +24]

[Xiang Beifei's attitude was too dismissive towards you, you found fault with him, picky value +17]

...

Ma Kainian's Awakening was to a system that specialized in finding faults in others; as long as he pointed out someone else's faults, he could add to his system value. After taking up this position, he liked to find faults with various shops, even if the shops had all their operating qualifications in order, he could still nitpick as if finding bones in an egg.

Ordinarily, many shop owners wouldn't dare to slight him upon meeting him, ensuring they behaved with utmost respect. He had grown accustomed to throwing his weight around, so seeing Xiang Beifei, an N-level Awakener, acting unimpressed, irritated him quite a bit.

So what if Xiang Beifei was famous? The Alliance had already reached a consensus internally that letting Xiang Beifei become famous was for the purpose of surveillance! Such a martial artist under surveillance had the same status as other N-level Awakeners, yet dared to act so arrogantly in his presence?

"Kid, if I were you, I'd clearly understand my place. In the presence of Alliance enforcement officers, it's best to show some respect! No matter how famous you are, you're still just an N-level Awakener, and you should remember that," Ma Kainian said indifferently.

[Xiang Beifei's attitude is too casual, you found a fault in him, picky value +19]

Xiang Beifei still ignored him, replaying the surveillance footage of the business license. He rewound the footage to ten minutes prior, just in time to see Kong Daming carrying Xiang Qingde to the rest room.

Ma Kainian snorted again and ordered, "Xiang Beifei, the higher-ups just received a notice. The Alliance needs to confirm your residence. You moved without registering with the Alliance Life Development Department. Now, write down your address for me..."

"I have a suggestion."

Xiang Beifei interrupted Ma Kainian impatiently.

"What suggestion?" Ma Kainian frowned.

Xiang Beifei pointed to a pack of tea leaves on the table and suggested, "This half-pound of tea leaves here, check each one for faults, from weight to shape to color, and see how many faults you can find."

Ma Kainian eyed the tea leaves that Kong Daming had brewed for him, his gaze suddenly sharp!

For some reason, Xiang Beifei's words seemed irresistibly alluring to him, the thought of finding every single fault in each leaf was exhilarating!

Ma Kainian found himself unable to refuse this tempting request!

"Alright!"

Ma Kainian agreed eagerly, pouring out all the tea leaves from the canister onto the table, then began inspecting them one by one!

He even forgot what he was here for and stopped trying to find fault with Xiang Beifei. Instead, his entire attention was fixated on the tea leaves before him, determined to identify every possible flaw!

Kong Daming and Zhang Xiang were both stunned on the side.

Especially Kong Daming; he knew that Ma Kainian would usually be excessively fault-finding with various aspects of a shop, but he didn't expect that he would now take up Xiang Beifei's suggestion and start finding faults with so many tea leaves!

This canister of tea leaves must have tens of thousands of pieces, counting them one by one, how long would that take, until the year of the monkey?

However, Ma Kainian looked full of zest, so much that he ignored everyone else for the time being.

"Much quieter now."

Xiang Beifei had naturally used Ma Kainian's own system against him.

The last thing Ma Kainian should have done was to find fault with Xiang Beifei. Those who dared to take on tasks against Xiang Beifei were almost always dealt with severely by him.

For someone who liked to nitpick so much, why not give him a canister of tea leaves to pick apart!

Xiang Beifei returned his focus to the surveillance, one advantage of the business license camera was that it could cover all areas of the shop, including the rest room.

Just six minutes earlier, Xiang Qingde was still sitting in the rest room, rubbing his head as if very tired and also seeming somewhat anxious.

Then, he suddenly clasped his head, relentlessly hitting his own head, appearing to be in extreme pain, and at that moment, his system interface, shaped like a snowflake, suddenly showed a series of blue ripples.

Following that, the blue ripples wafted out, landing on Xiang Qingde, and he disappeared from the rest room in an instant!

"How can this be?"

Xiang Beifei was extremely shocked!

He hadn't anticipated his grandfather's system would show such a strange phenomenon again!
