Chapter 7: Chapter 7: The Little Puppy



This result even made Xiang Beifei want to cry and laugh at the same time.

It's as if the thunderstone was fitted with a fake battery; why did it run out of power during the test?

What if I bring over another thunderstone and the same thing happens again?

One malfunctioning thunderstone is an accident, but two is a cause for concern.

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but feel worried.

He had no desire to draw too much attention to himself. In this new world, without a strong background, if he awakened a truly powerful system and drew the interest of the wrong people, that would spell trouble.

It's better to keep a low profile.

Get rich quietly.

The dean of instruction soon brought over another thunderstone. This one crackled with electric sparks, sounding very energetic, probably a brand new piece that hadn't been used before.

As soon as the dean let go, the thunderstone floated still in mid-air.

Everyone was watching him, curious to know what system Xiang Beifei would awaken this time.

Xiang Beifei hesitated for a moment before placing his hand on the thunderstone again.

Whoosh!

The thunderstone became restless again, its blue arcs of electricity appeared to be changing, but just then a strange warm current surged through Xiang Beifei's body, and with a cry that sounded like a baby's roar, a shadow appeared in front of Xiang Beifei's eyes.

"Woof."

It was an unknown little creature, at first glance resembling a small puppy, palm-sized, with snow-white fur and sapphire-blue eyes that seemed to contain the stars in the sky, quite extraordinary.

At the same time as the little puppy appeared, it excitedly barked, pounced on the thunderstone, and bit into it with its tiny mouth.

Crackle!

Before the thunderstone had a chance to flicker its colors, it dimmed down. The previously vigorous sparks seemed about to be exhausted.

"Damn it, is it going to run out of power again? Wait! Stop messing around! Get away from that stone," Xiang Beifei shouted urgently.

"Woof!"

The puppy paused, looking at Xiang Beifei with confusion.

Please, what on earth is this!

Where's my system?

This was something that Xiang Beifei still respected.

"Woof!"

The little puppy also barked cheerfully.

But it seemed like no one else saw Xiang Beifei's little puppy.

Xiang Beifei walked back with his little puppy.

Kong Xiuwen came over, his expression complicated as he comforted, "You really scared me just now. I thought you were about to awaken a legendary system and skyrocket, I was ready to follow you. What a pity... Are you okay?"

Kong Xiuwen was worried Xiang Beifei might take it hard and was thinking about how to comfort him.

Anyone put in this situation, without a strong heart, would probably not make it through.

"I'm fine, you just do your best," Xiang Beifei said.

Yang Hua called out from above, "Next, Kong Xiuwen!"

"It's my turn now, I hope I can awaken a good system."

Hearing the homeroom teacher calling his name, Kong Xiuwen hurriedly ran up the stage.

On the other hand, the class president Zhuo Jing was basking in everyone else's praise, looking very smug as he saw Xiang Beifei return to the crowd.

He had awakened an S-level "Appreciation System," and his first task after awakening was:

[Gather 250 appreciation values within one hour. If someone you know praises or envies you, appreciation value +1, if someone you don't know praises or envies you, appreciation value +0.01]

[Task Reward: Qi-Controlling Pill]

After awakening his system, Zhuo Jing received the envy of countless people. Today, being another great day for awakenings, the entire field was full of students, teachers, and parents, and students with S-level systems received attention from all around.

Less than ten minutes after he awakened his system, he received 249 appreciation values!

Just one point shy, and he could have collected 250 to successfully exchange for a rare Qi-Controlling Pill, which would have allowed him to step directly into the early stages of Qi-Control!

This showcased the twisted power of an S-level system; others would have to train hard for at least two months to several years to reach the Qi-Controlling realm, but with his initial task, he was already ahead of others and got off to a very quick start.

However, during Xiang Beifei's test, all attention was drawn to him, causing the spotlight Zhuo Jing was just about to enjoy to be completely overshadowed.

Although Xiang Beifei's test turned out to be a farce in the end, people's focus on Zhuo Jing was no longer as intense as in the beginning, causing his appreciation value to stagnate.

"Damn it, just one point short of appreciation value, why has everyone stopped praising me?"

Zhuo Jing was inwardly anxious. Praise from those who had already praised him was ineffective; he needed to be envied by those who hadn't praised him yet.
