When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 309 The Key



"Boss, you must save me! Otherwise, I'll have no place to bury myself when I'm dead!"

Wu Wen's face was a picture of despair. If Xiang Beifei left him behind and abandoned him, falling into the Alliance's hands without being able to divulge Xiang Beifei's secrets, he faced a tragic fate.

"Are you worrying about having no place to bury yourself when you're dead now? Have you ever thought about how desperate the N-level Awakeners who were persuaded by you to go mining in the wilderness ended up?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"I..."

Wu Wen was choked up, his face turning deathly pale.

In the past, to meet his work performance goals and resolve the employment problems for N-level Awakeners for the Alliance, he had directly used his system abilities to forcibly "persuade" any jobless individuals to take up the jobs he recommended, earning many accolades for doing so.

Yet he had never considered how much suffering those N-level Awakeners endured being forced to do those tasks.

Thump!

Wu Wen fell to his knees, blurting out in panic, "Boss, I was wrong, I'll never dare to do it again! I swear I will correct my ways! Please, save me!"

He wanted to live!

There was no turning back for him now.

He knew that Xiang Beifei's ability to get here undetected indicated a formidable power, and clinging to this "big thigh" was his only hope for survival.

Xiang Beifei looked at Wu Wen, who was scared out of his wits.

Wu Wen's Persuasion System was not only used to convince N-level Awakeners to take on jobs against their will; it could also persuade those who had gone astray to turn over a new leaf, inspire desperate individuals contemplating suicide to choose life, negotiate with kidnappers holding hostages...

If Wu Wen wished to make good use of this system, he had many paths open to him.

Yet he chose a crooked path.

After a moment of silence, Xiang Beifei finally spoke, "Alright, just use your abilities where they should be applied from now on!"

"Yes! Yes! I'll definitely remember!" Wu Wen kept on pledging.

In fact, there was no need for further assurances; he had been "persuaded" by Xiang Beifei earlier in the day. Now, if not exactly upstanding in all his thoughts, at least he would no longer harm others; it was as if he had undergone a complete transformation. Just this afternoon, he had gone out of his way to help ten destitute N-level Awakeners find suitable employment.

"Get up! Let's see what we're dealing with first," Xiang Beifei said.

Wu Wen's system was useful in some respects, and Xiang Beifei decided it was best to make good use of it first, then figure out how to get him out.

"Yes."

Wu Wen stood up like a man reprieved, looking anxiously at Xiang Beifei.

Xiang Beifei rapidly covered Wu Wen with his spiritual power. He had only been concerned about shielding the system's Perception until now, neglecting the so-called "Orifice Perception."

Luckily, as long as one's spiritual power was strong enough, it could block the Perception of even the most proficient experts.

The spiritual power Xiang Beifei cultivated was sufficient to protect himself, so much that even a UR-level expert like Fu Mingpu had not detected his presence.

After all, the teachings of Elder Luo in spiritual power were nothing to scoff at.

Elder Luo himself was a powerful spiritual power martial artist, capable of making many UR-level Awakeners wary and helpless against him with just his SR status. Besides his own formidable cultivation, the most crucial aspect was his spiritual power!

Almost everyone in the Alliance close to Elder Luo's cultivation level was at the UR level; a UR in the same realm facing Elder Luo, an SR, would be absolutely suppressed by the system!

But as long as Elder Luo's spiritual power was strong enough, even UR-level experts couldn't use their system abilities to alter his thoughts!

Otherwise, the Alliance would have long used UR Awakeners of the same cultivation to employ system abilities like "Bow Head and Listen" or "Obey Orders Unconditionally" against Elder Luo and take control of him.

"They have already reached the outside of the archives' central control room! How do we leave here now?" Wu Wen asked nervously as he looked at the surveillance footage.

The screen showed Fu Mingpu and Mu Yiqing standing at the entrance to the central control room, located in a very inconspicuous little house.

In less than a minute, they were going to come straight in.

If they left now, they would definitely run into them!

However, Xiang Beifei was still waiting, appearing very calm, leaving Wu Wen nearly on the verge of a breakdown. If they delayed any longer, he would have to face two UR-level Awakeners directly.

"We'll take it one step at a time!"

Xiang Beifei watched Xiaohei, who was hurriedly copying loads of data amidst electric surges; this process was going to take some time.

"Woof!"

About half a minute later, Xiaohei finally finished copying some of the archives. It quickly replaced the Eye of God and erased all traces of its access.

With the Eye disappearing, Wu Wen realized Xiang Beifei was preparing to leave and asked anxiously, "How are we going to deceive these two UR-level people now?"

Xiang Beifei signaled him not to interrupt, saying, "Wait a bit longer."

Wait a bit longer?

Wu Wen was on the edge of panic!

At such a critical juncture, his boss could still calmly say to wait a bit longer?

----

The entire corridor was completely sealed off, with a powerful SSR or SR Awakener stationed at intervals of every ten meters or so, each one at the God Refining stage!

Looking down the corridor, it was clear there were no fewer than thirty such individuals!

They were quite simply a luxurious group of formidable figures, each of whom would turn heads wherever they went!

"The perception has disappeared!"

Su Yongfeng turned his head to look at Fu Mingpu, somewhat uncertain.

Fu Mingpu squinted his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, it's gone."

He looked around and a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he spoke, "But the last position where this perception disappeared was inside the control room! The barriers outside haven't been triggered, he must still be in there!"

It had disappeared about a minute ago, and by then, a web of traps had already been laid outside the building, so it was impossible for anyone to leave the building!

Fu Mingpu wanted to see just who this person was!

The two of them had already reached the entrance of the archive control room, and what appeared before their eyes was a formidable defense of forty-nine labyrinth arrays and eighty-one UR level system guardians!

As well as the most powerful extra-dimensional vortex!

Both Su Yongfeng and Fu Mingpu possessed the highest authority in the alliance, so the labyrinth defense and the system guardian arrays couldn't stop them, but even they needed to proceed step by step to enter the control room.

Quickly, they passed through the labyrinth defense and the system guardian arrays, with the violent thunder and mountain magma having no effect on them, they arrived in front of the extra-dimensional vortex.

Immediately, a hint of wariness appeared in both of their eyes.

"This vortex is really eerie," Su Yongfeng couldn't help remarking.

Even with his cultivation at the orifice transforming stage, he didn't dare to be careless in the face of the extra-dimensional vortex.

The extra-dimensional vortex had been laid down many years ago by a very powerful UR level Awakener of the alliance. To enter the control room, one must jump into this extra-dimensional vortex.

He only left behind five special identification keys. With the identification key present, the extra-dimensional vortex wouldn't swallow the person entering it, but without the key, they would be directly swept away by the vortex!

Once, an overconfident SSR Awakener wanted to sneak in here to test his abilities. He managed to break through the labyrinth defense and system defense arrays, jumped into the extra-dimensional vortex, and then disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again.

"Have the identification keys gone missing?" Fu Mingpu asked.

"I've just been in contact with the other three, and I can confirm that their keys are all still with them," Su Yongfeng replied.

Fu Mingpu pondered before a stone key materialized in his hand.

The key, strictly speaking, didn't even look like a key, but rather more like a three-inch-long stone sword, which didn't contain any special aura and seemed to be crafted from an ordinary piece of stone.

The God Refining Awakener who created the extra-dimensional space left behind five keys, which were to be managed by five people within the alliance. Jialuoluo was once among those in charge of the keys. Before he left the alliance, he used the key to gain entry, at that time the archive room wasn't guarded by the "Eye of God".

Now only four remained.

All four keys were currently intact, each managed by a person trusted by the alliance. Fu Mingpu held one key, and the other three were kept by others. They had just confirmed this, and those three weren't here but in other locations within the alliance, their keys hadn't been lost.

"Let's go in and see. If the infiltrator wants to come out, he will inevitably encounter us," Fu Mingpu said.

They immediately took the stone sword and jumped into the extra-dimensional vortex. A strange and powerful aura flowed around them before swallowing them up.

What they didn't see, however, was that the moment the two stepped into the control room, two figures appeared silently in the room!

Xiang Beifei didn't need any key to come and go; a mere thought was enough for him to bypass all the flamboyant system defenses, almost brushing past Su Yongfeng and Fu Mingpu!

Xiang Beifei deliberately looked back at the extra-dimensional vortex.

The stone sword in Fu Mingpu's hand disappeared in a flash.

But he slightly furrowed his brows.@@novelbin@@

The stone sword was a very ordinary sword.

Yet, not ordinary.

The extra-dimensional vortex was a system capability, which Xiang Beifei could feel.

But the stone sword, he couldn't perceive it!

"Strange."

Xiang Beifei pondered.

Fu Mingpu and Su Yongfeng had already entered the archive control room, and the stone sword had vanished.

"We are really lucky! It's fortunate that they both chose to go in," Wu Wen said, his nervous sweat flowing freely, almost soaking through his clothes.

An SSR and a UR, both incredibly powerful in cultivation; in his eyes, they might as well be gods in the heavens, which wasn't an exaggeration at all!

In ordinary times, how could he, a mere S level Awakener, come into contact with them? To think that he'd almost encountered them head-on, without being discovered.

"We might not be that lucky!"

Xiang Beifei looked towards the door.

Wu Wen turned his head to look, and his heartbeat nearly skipped a beat.

That was because the door handle of the office was being turned, and a middle-aged man dressed in a suit entered!

The man's hair was combed to a glossy sheen, he wore a black suit that was severe and solemn, without a single wrinkle, stepping on shiny leather shoes, spotless from top to bottom, his whole person spelled "cleanliness-obsessed".
