Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Under the Stairs



```

Qin Yi thought he had stealthily extracted everyone's talents without anyone noticing, unaware that Xiang Beifei was watching his actions with great interest.

With a congregation of S-level talents, when Qin Yi extracted a certain talent from others, in three hours, that talent was forcefully taken away by Qin Yi.

Thus, Qin Yi was a crane among chickens, having extracted others' talents, he then launched a dimension-reducing strike on others, making them incomparable to him in that area.

With this system, wherever Qin Yi went, he would almost certainly be an undeniable genius.

For example, in a singing competition, he would simply take away the musical talents of the other contestants, making himself the one with the most formidable talent. As long as he didn't touch those with higher cultivation than his, victory was almost a sure thing.

By leveraging this system, within his first year at Liangzhou University, Qin Yi had won "New Student Singing Competition" champion, "Best Eloquence Award of Liangzhou University Debate Contest," "First Place in Long Jump for Freshmen Category"...

A total of twenty-one various awards.

He simply needed to extract others' talents to himself, lowering the other contestants' talents, and winning was all too easy.

Of course, his task list included failures as well, such as when he only got second place in the high jump competition—probably because he ran into a tough nut to crack, someone with an even stronger system.

After all, Liangzhou University was a hiding place for crouching tigers and hidden dragons, filled mainly with S-level geniuses, and not lacking even SR-level geniuses.

The last time he was defeated by an SR-level individual; it wasn't all that unjust.

But still, being second was dazzling since adding up all areas, he had won the most awards among the freshmen.

With a multitude of awards to his name, he was certainly the center of attention!

——

After extracting everyone's talents, Qin Yi's confidence in deduction greatly increased. He provocatively glanced at Xiang Beifei and said to him,

"Xiao Wei said you have strong reasoning abilities, which aroused the hidden deduction passion within me. Friend, how about we compare our deduction skills? We can discuss deduction approaches and even help the enforcement brigade solve some cases, meanwhile contributing to the security of the Western District. What do you say?"

Qin Yi's words were watertight, as he deliberately wanted to show off his skills in front of Lu Hong and Lu Zhiwei. By solving ten cases, not only would he receive system rewards, but he would also make Lu Zhiwei understand who the real deduction genius is!

She would surely come to learn reasoning skills from him once she realized this.

Two birds with one stone!

As he passed by Qin Yi, he thought for a moment, then turned to say, "Work hard on the case! Make good use of your reasoning capabilities, and try to contribute to the security of the Western District!"

His tone was sincere, filled with righteousness.

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes and sneered lazily, "You sure know your place. But as an N-level Awakener, don't you want to learn how to analyze cases from me? It's a rare opportunity!"

Xiang Beifei shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more, choosing to leave with Lu Hong instead.

"He just left like that!" Lu Zhiwei was somewhat disappointed. She really wanted to see Beifei show more of his reasoning ability, but Xiang Beifei had no interest in accepting the challenge.

Qin Yi said, "Haha, Xiao Wei, isn't it normal for him to leave? An N-level Awakener like him must have wet his pants the moment he heard that I and you come from Liangzhou University. We're S-level, he's N-level; he's nothing in front of us. He knew that if he accepted the challenge, he would expose his true level, so slinking away is the best choice. He's giving himself an out!"

Qin Yi was quite pleased with himself.

"Actually, he has some skill in reasoning."

Lu Zhiwei still spoke up for Xiang Beifei. She had been quite impressed by his deduction of the bald man earlier.

Qin Yi said, "Xiao Wei, you are too naive. Don't let him deceive you with just a few words. Come on, let me show you what a real reasoning talent is!"

He walked outside.

Lu Zhiwei followed, half-believing and half-doubting.

Outside, a law enforcement officer was dealing with a case involving a house robbery. Various pieces of evidence were packaged in plastic bags and spread across a table along with several crime scene photos, creating a messy display on the surface.

"Weird, we just found some clues, but now suddenly I can't make heads or tails of it!"

The law enforcement officer frowned; just five minutes ago, he had almost solved the case, but for some reason, his mind seemed to have slowed down, and he couldn't understand things he had just figured out.

He had even called the person who reported the crime, ready to close the case, and the robbed woman was sitting across from him, waiting for him to say something.

Now, he didn't know how to explain.

This law enforcement officer was equipped with an "R-level electronic Tracking System" and had recently graduated from a regular university. Everyone called him Xiao Cao. His cultivation was just at the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling, not even on par with Qin Yi, an S-level freshman from Liangzhou University.

He was unaware that the sudden confusion in resolving the case was because Qin Yi had extracted his reasoning capabilities, messing up his logic.

At that moment, Qin Yi approached Xiao Cao with big strides, boldly proclaiming, "What's so difficult about this case? Let me help you!"
