When system cheat becomes rampant!

S-grade cultivation at the mid-stage of Meridian Opening was, in fact, very powerful.

But the problem was, the last time Xiang Beifei had seen this person, his cultivation was far above the God Refining stage!

To go from mid-stage Meridian Opening to at least the orifice transforming stage in six years?

Xiang Beifei was quite astonished!

This pace was exceedingly fast!

One must know that even SR-grade Ye Changfeng and Yuchi Shen were only at the mid-stage of God Refining at present.

An S-grade system talent was a big step weaker than SR-grade, but Qin Hongyi had left so many SR-grades behind?

If Qin Hongyi's cultivation had reached the mid-stage of God Refining six years ago, Xiang Beifei wouldn't be too surprised. Although rare, it wasn't unheard of for S-grade to reach mid-stage God Refining. Given six years, breaking through to the orifice transforming stage from mid-stage God Refining was plausible.

But to go from mid-stage Meridian Opening to at least orifice transforming stage in six years was a leap too terrifying.

The higher the realm, the slower the improvement, that was the consensus. Qin Hongyi had taken thirty-five years to reach mid-stage Meridian Opening from the time he awakened his system at age eighteen until his death at fifty-three, then in six years, he crossed an entire major realm!

How many fortuitous encounters could accumulate to this?

"What happened after he was devoured by the desolate beast?"

A person deemed dead in the beast tide, sacrificed, comes back mysteriously six years later without reclaiming his identity but becomes an unfathomably powerful individual!

It really piqued one's curiosity.

Unfortunately, there was only a video in front of him, and Xiang Beifei could only see the system interface but couldn't fully browse the other party's system log.

In the video footage at that moment, Qin Hongyi was giving his subordinates a battle speech.

"Resisting the beast tide is the undeniable duty of each and every one of us pioneers. No one shall shrink back; even if it costs us our lives, we must hold the desolate beasts at bay outside of Jiuzhou! Jiuzhou is our territory! Here we have our families, our friends, and we will not allow any desolate beasts to tread even one step here!"

Qin Hongyi's voice was loud and full, impassioned, viewing death as a return!

Everyone in the rest room had their blood boiling, their eyes filled with the desire to fight!

They were all pioneers, bearing a mission. When the beast tide struck, not a single one drew back; everyone was willing to charge into battle, to contend against the desolate beasts in a blood-soaked fight, defending their homeland!

All were resolute in battle, ready to lay down their lives and shed their blood for the protection of Jiuzhou.

After that battle, how many of these people were still alive?

Xiang Beifei recorded the system interfaces of these individuals and planned to search later to see if they were still alive.

Xiang Beifei then continued to browse through other videos of Qin Hongyi.

The security footage wasn't extensive, but each video represented this person's character, showing a righteous and responsible pioneer who was extremely kind to his subordinates.

It was hard to imagine that such a person could have been present at the scene of the One-Armed Crab's attack.

But soon, Xiang Beifei saw a familiar person in one of the videos!

It was Xiao Sheng!

"Is this guy in cahoots with Qin Hongyi?"

Xiang Beifei watched the video of Xiao Sheng, who six years ago was quite youthful; he had only just graduated and was merely at the early stage of Meridian Opening.

From early-stage Meridian Opening to early-stage God Refining in six years was the normal progression for an SR-grade Awakener!

"Pull up Xiao Sheng's file," said Xiang Beifei.

Xiaohei, with increasingly adept control over the big eye, immediately grabbed hold of a star.

[Xiao Sheng: Born July 6, 3003, SR-grade literary Dao practitioner, graduate of Jingzhou University, member of the pioneer team 13 of the Tranquil Domain; stood out in the beast tide battle, leading his team to repel the beast tide at Jingzhous's defensive line, retired from being a pioneer in 3025 due to personal reasons, became a researcher at Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company in 3028]

Xiao Sheng and Qin Hongyi were both members of Tranquil Domain's team 13 of pioneers.

This was quite telling.

The brief introductions of Xiao Sheng and Qin Hongyi might be less detailed, but the archives in the alliance were comprehensive, covering almost everyone's lifetime. As long as one's identity was ever registered somewhere, it would appear in the archives.

But not just anyone could retrieve videos at any time. Everybody had ways to protect themselves; for the average person it might be easy, but for those with a bit of forethought, evading the scrutiny of surveillance wasn't too difficult.

Xiang Beifei wanted to investigate the gap of three years between Xiao Sheng's retirement in 3025 and becoming a researcher at Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company in 3028, only to find absolutely nothing to go on.

He seemed to have vanished from the world entirely, almost never appearing in the public eye, mysteriously missing for three years!

And Qin Hongyi had died seven years ago; the archives had no further records of his existence.

Xiang Beifei instructed Xiaohei to copy all the relevant data on these two individuals.

"And all the personnel data from Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company,"

Xiang Beifei decided that when he returned, he would deeply investigate the company, though he knew in his heart that if the Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company was deliberately hiding something, it would likely not be captured on some surveillance videos. The image they presented to the public was sure to be of a law-abiding, legitimate company.

Xiaohei continued to excitedly copy the data through an electrical connection, buzzing with joy, its black and white fur intermingling as it reveled in the process.

"Next, I need to create a file,"

Creating a new identity was one of the reasons for Xiang Beifei's visit, making it convenient to infiltrate the Wufu Desolate Beast Company using this new identity.

"Woof?" Xiaohei inquired for a name.

"Just call him Zheng Xian," Xiang Beifei said calmly.

```

Zheng Xian, truly idle.

Anyway, he was just loafing around with nothing to do.

Xiaohei quickly entered the name and then expertly set up a complete set of archives.

[Zheng Xian, born February 1, 3010, S-level literary Daoist, graduate of Liangzhou University…]

The series of archives had all been preconceived by Xiang Beifei. He chose Liangzhou University because he was more familiar with it, and if anyone came to investigate, he could handle it with ease. As for the archives at the school, since the alliance held higher authority over student records than the schools, this person would also appear in the school's archive system.

As for the high school history and where the Awakening System was triggered, he chose a private school that had just closed a few years earlier for certain reasons, making it not so easy to investigate.

"Add a few more, just in case."

Xiang Beifei added a string of profiles one after another, which were essentially untraceable to real people, but if nothing unexpected happened, no one in the alliance would truly go investigate them.

He created a total of ten archives!

"All set, now I have ten aliases, time to have some fun."

Xiang Beifei was very satisfied.

Xiaohei muddled these archives into the star database and even modified the record creation times to make it look as if they were registered at birth. Everything appeared normal. Ten extra people out of a population of over a billion wouldn't attract much attention.

At this moment, Xiaohei suddenly stopped and barked.@@novelbin@@

"What's wrong?"

"Woof woof!"

Someone's coming?

Xiang Beifei became alert and immediately accessed the surveillance camera footage from outside the Archives Building through the main control room. Instantly, he saw an old man in a black trench coat appear outside the archives!

[Host: Fu Mingpu]

[UR-level, Ten Thousand Commands System]

[Realm——]

It was actually a UR-level Awakener!

This was the first time Xiang Beifei had seen a UR-level person with his own eyes!

"Who is this man?" Xiang Beifei inquired.

Xiaohei immediately started his large eyes, and the Eye of God began to roll. After rolling for a while, to his shock, he barked.

There was no UR-level data in the archives control room!

There wasn't even data for SSR-level Awakeners!

"Wu Wen, aren't there any SSR or UR-level archives here?" Xiang Beifei turned his head and asked.

Wu Wen did not move; he obediently blocked out all his hearing as instructed. Xiang Beifei walked over and kicked him.

"What's the matter, boss?" Wu Wen asked reverently.

"Aren't UR and SSR level archives recorded here?"

"They aren't here. Those high-level Awakeners have separate files. After the UR-level Jialuoluo incident, the alliance moved the archives of SSR and UR-level Awakeners to the alliance headquarters because this place had once been infiltrated by Jialuoluo, causing a massive leak of archives, allowing him to remain at large," Wu Wen hastily said.

Jialuoluo, a high-level UR Awakener and pinnacle figure in technology, managed to remain at large primarily because he stole everyone's archives, knowing the backgrounds of the alliance's high-level Awakeners like the back of his hand.

Clearly, the alliance had learned its lesson.

"So where are their archives at the headquarters?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"I don't know. I've heard they are guarded by specialized personnel," Wu Wen replied.

"Do you recognize this person?" Xiang Beifei pointed to the monitor.

Wu Wen glanced at the video image of Fu Mingpu, inhaled sharply, and said excitedly, "That's one of the big shots from the alliance! Director Fu, UR... my goodness! A UR-level big shot! He's the head of the Alliance Security Department!"

"Alliance Security Department?"

Xiang Beifei became more attentive. The Alliance Security Department was not only in charge of managing the safety of desolate beasts on the front lines but also covered various aspects of daily life.

Then the purpose of his visit here could mean——

"Audacious rats dare to invade the Archives Building!"

A loud voice echoed through every corner of the building, followed by an overwhelming aura that swept over everything!

"Ah? He... he can't possibly mean us, right? We're doomed!"

Upon hearing this voice, Wu Wen immediately collapsed to the ground in terror!

That was a UR-level big boss!

As an alliance staff member who assisted others in coming here, if caught, it would certainly be the end of him!

Xiang Beifei did not pay attention to Wu Wen; instead, he was pondering something.

Many have abilities similar to Chen Baiwen's "Traces of Time", so this time he specifically had Xiaohei protect Wu Wen as well. In the outer desolate regions, Xiaohei couldn't protect everyone from being tracked at the same time, but adding just one more person was still manageable for Xiaohei.

From their arrival to now, he and Xiaohei had been protecting themselves very well, with all the system defenses being ineffective against them, implying that no alarm systems could be triggered. So how did this guy find out they had broken in here?
