"What system do you hope to awaken?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"The best would be the Scholar System. It'd allow a show-stopping debut, let's see the slackers turn the tables and give those losers a beatdown. Wonder if they'd still dare to laugh at our poor grades," Kong Xiuwen said animatedly, then added, "The Superstar System wouldn't be bad either. Venturing into the entertainment industry could be a good choice.
And if all else fails, I wouldn't turn my nose up at the Tycoon System either."
Lost in his merry fantasies, Kong Xiuwen believed that any system was intended to improve oneself, but a good system could make that improvement happen much faster.
The trajectory of many people's lives during their college entrance exam year can be altered, as awakening a system that year can change their future choices.
If someone has been interested in computer science since childhood but awakens a medical system, they would have to abandon their dreams to apply for medical school.
This is quite similar to the real world, where parents force their children to apply for majors they think are promising.
Therefore, the best system to awaken is one that matches one's own interests because only then would there be motivation to complete tasks.
Moments later, Kong Xiuwen asked again, "What about you, Xiang Beifei? What system do you hope to awaken?"
"Me? I'm not picky, anything goes."
Xiang Beifei, new to this world, hadn't fully grasped it yet, so he wasn't very demanding about the system.
Kong Xiuwen said, "How can you be so ambitionless! That won't do. Let me tell you a secret..."
Kong Xiuwen glanced at the others, leaned into Xiang Beifei's ear, and whispered mysteriously, "My old man spent a fortune on a medicinal herb from an enlightened master. He's researched talent systems for years. Supposedly, if you take this herb, there's a fifty percent chance of awakening the system you want."
Kong Xiuwen held out his hand, revealing two black pills emitting a pungent, strange odor, "Dad told me to take both. With one, there's a fifty percent chance, but with two, it's a sure thing!"
Uh?
Fifty percent with one pill, and a hundred percent with two?
The math here is quite magical!
Xiang Beifei couldn't help but grin; he felt that the master Kong Xiuwen mentioned was very likely someone who had awakened the Bluff System or Charlatan System.
Kong Xiuwen, looking dead serious, shoved a black pill into Xiang Beifei's hand and said, "I don't need a hundred percent certainty, this one's for you."
Xiang Beifei was surprised, "For me?"
"Shh, keep it down. It costs over ten thousand a pill! Dad told me to keep it quiet. I can't stand how the homeroom teacher always picks on us, we need to awaken an SR system and show them, give ourselves some breathing room."
Kong Xiuwen's family was relatively well-off, and Xiang Beifei's was struggling, but the two got along well, and Kong Xiuwen was always quite generous with Xiang Beifei.
Wei s (Amended as Weighing) the black pill in his hand, Xiang Beifei was certain such a thing couldn't be effective—if it were, there would already be geniuses all over the world.
"You keep it for yourself! I'll leave it to fate," Xiang Beifei insisted, heart not set on destroying Kong Xiuwen's illusion as he handed the pill back.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose," Liu Qianrou said with a remorseful face.
The boy was stunned, he had actually been accidentally bumped by the goddess!
The goddess even apologized to him!
"No, no, no problem!"
The boy was extremely excited and a bit carried away.
"Hello, my name is Liu Qianrou."
Liu Qianrou revealed a gentle and graceful smile, extending her hand to shake with the boy.
——Oh my god, is today my lucky day? Not only did the goddess apologize to me, but she also wants to shake my hand!
The boy's eyes shone with a certain light.
"Hello, I'm Zhao Tian from Class Two, really, really nice to meet you."
Zhao Tian hastily stretched out his hand, holding Liu Qianrou's delicate palm.
——The goddess's hand is as soft as if it has no bones, I'm not washing my hands for a month!
Zhao Tian thought excitedly.
At this time, Xiang Beifei saw that Liu Qianrou's system interface already displayed a new line of text:
[You have gained a potential backup, backup value +1]
[You shook hands with the backup, you snatched the backup's arm strength, your strength +1]
[You conversed with the backup, you snatched the backup's social skills, your social skills +1]
...
Everyone was unaware of what system Liu Qianrou had awakened, only knowing that Liu Qianrou was an S-rank top student, with boundless potential, but only Xiang Beifei saw everything very clearly!
"This system is a bit sinister!"
Xiang Beifei couldn't help but think, Liu Qianrou's system was actually about raising backups and then snatching their various abilities?
And getting a backup was so easy, as long as someone was interested in her, they would automatically become a backup?
What a green tea bitch!
Xiang Beifei looked at the boy who was being used as a backup and snatched of his abilities without knowing, feeling quite sympathetic, if in the future he kept following Liu Qianrou around, probably all his abilities would be completely taken by Liu Qianrou.
This system epitomized what is called a loser dog, in the end, losing everything by licking boots.
