Sensing the Spiritual Energy of this world seemed not difficult for Xiang Beifei.
He circulated the Chaos Yin-Yang Formula once, and a faint trace of Spiritual Power flowed vaguely within his body.
This Spiritual Power spread throughout the meridians of his entire body, feeling his constitution and making him feel rejuvenated.
"Is this the Qi-Controlling Realm?"
Xiang Beifei stood up, stretching lazily.
It had taken him about ten hours to step into the Qi-Controlling Realm through his own cultivation.
The Qi-Controlling Realm is the foundation for cultivators. For those with S-rank systems, usually, their first task would allow them to step into the Qi-Controlling Realm.
People with R-rank and N-rank systems who are willing to work hard on their tasks can also become Qi-Controlling practitioners within a few months.
Unless it's a system with unreasonably difficult tasks, normally anyone could reach the Qi-Controlling Realm within a year.
However, most people began to show disparities after entering the Qi-Controlling Realm.
Many might remain at the early stage of the Qi-Controlling Realm for their entire lives, or it might take them ten years to reach the middle stage, depending on the difficulty of the system's tasks.
——
Xiang Beifei looked out the window, and it was already dark. He had been cultivating from yesterday afternoon until night. He walked out of the bedroom and found that his grandfather had already gone to sleep but had left him dinner kept warm in the rice cooker.
Xiang Qingde knew that Xiang Beifei had just awakened his system and needed to explore it, so he didn't disturb him.
Xiang Beifei hurried through his dinner, then went straight to sleep.
The next morning, Xiang Qingde, as usual, made breakfast and then went to the market. After breakfast, Xiang Beifei walked toward school.
Along the way, he observed the systems of the people he passed.
He liked to watch everyone's systems; many of them were quite interesting, and although they didn't possess much combat power, they could still achieve success.
Like the "N-level Internet Celebrity System," its host was a beauty with a chin sharp enough to crack walnuts. The system's task was to increase her strength based on the number of followers, and currently, she had only reached twenty thousand followers.
When passing by the hospital, some doctors who had just started their shifts were at the entrance, and although they were not yet in lab coats, Xiang Beifei could identify them in the crowd at a glance.
A young man with glasses hurriedly alighted from the bus, and he had awakened the "Live Surgery System," whose ultimate task was to become a leading figure in the medical field.
The systems of the other doctors mostly related to the medical field, such as the "Skillful Healer System" and the "Strongest Dentist System."
After arriving at school, Xiang Beifei went up the stairs and saw a familiar person at the entrance on the upper floor.
It was Liu Qianrou, the genius girl who was the first to awaken an S-rank system yesterday!
Liu Qianrou had awakened the Backup Snatch System. Every backup she found and interacted with would grant her the backup's power.
At that moment, her task interface showed that she already had twenty-one backups!
"What a powerful social butterfly."
Xiang Beifei couldn't help but admire in secret. In just one afternoon and evening, Liu Qianrou had gained so many backups!
He wondered where she went yesterday for the encounter.
Liu Qianrou looked frail and quiet, seemingly harmless, and her pitiful big eyes made others feel very protective. Nobody could associate her with the word "scheming."
At this moment, she was probably looking for her twenty-second backup.
Xiang Beifei glanced toward the boy talking with Liu Qianrou. The boy was handsome and somewhat famous as the heartthrob of class five, known as Xiao Sa, and was a notable figure in their year.
Xiao Sa had a handsome and spirited look, with a high nose bridge and a striking appearance that drew attention in any crowd.
His family was wealthy, he wore designer clothes, and he was eloquent, very popular among the girls.
The two leaned against the banister, the morning breeze teasing their hair, and the rising sun shone on them, outlining their figures in a fresh and gentle light.
"Why do you always look at me like that?"
Liu Qianrou lowered her head, her face slightly red.
Xiao Sa smiled gently, "You should ask yourself why you are so pretty that I can't take my eyes off you."
His voice was low and rich, with an irresistible magnetism.
Liu Qianrou's face was now completely flushed. She covered her face with her hands, sneaking a glance at Xiao Sa through the gaps between her fingers, then quickly covered her eyes again.
She looked like a girl, naive to the ways of the world, suddenly pursued and somewhat at a loss.
"How do I know that you are telling the truth?"
Liu Qianrou asked shyly.
Xiao Sa stretched out his hand and held Liu Qianrou's palm, his eyes bright with her reflection, as if she were his whole world.
"The morning sun is so warm, yet it doesn't compare to your smile. How could I deceive you?"
He slightly leaned toward Liu Qianrou, whispering softly, "Will you be my girlfriend, please?"
The simple and honest whisper echoed in Liu Qianrou's ears.
To a girl, it was all about a sense of security.
Liu Qianrou seemed very conflicted as she shook her head, saying, "I'm about to graduate, and I want to focus on my studies and get into a good university."
"Is that so?" Xiao Sa seemed a bit disappointed.
Liu Qianrou lowered her voice, looked up into Xiao Sa's eyes, thinking he was going to give up, and then hastily added, "But if you can wait for me, after graduation, I will consider it."
Xiao Sa, hearing Liu Qianrou's words, smiled, a smile with a contagious quality, as refreshing as a spring breeze.
"Okay, I can wait for you, even if it takes forever, I will wait!"
...
Beifei was dumbstruck hearing the two's romantic exchange.
Such green, straightforward love!
Two young hearts, creating brilliant sparks, heart-wrenchingly beautiful!
Had it not been for Beifei seeing Liu Qianrou's system panel rapidly increasing —
[You've gained an S-tier backup, backup value +1]
[You've conversed with an S-tier backup, you've snatched the backup's communication skill, your communication skill +20]
[You shook hands with an S-tier backup, you've snatched the backup's arm strength, your arm strength +20]
...
Xiao Sa was clearly an S-tier system's Awakener, no doubt, this S-tier backup was powerful.
Just yesterday, a normal boy had been snatched by Liu Qianrou and only gave 1 point, while Xiao Sa could add 20 points!
No wonder Liu Qianrou approached Xiao Sa.
Beifei shifted his gaze from Liu Qianrou's system, looking toward Xiao Sa's system —
[Host: Xiao Sa]
[S-tier, Bootlicker System]
[Stage: Early Qi-Controlling]
...
Xiao Sa's system panel was also increasing rapidly —
[You've successfully captured the heart of S-tier talent Liu Qianrou, gaining her favor]
[You shook hands with Liu Qianrou, you've snatched her poise, your poise +20]
[You complimented Liu Qianrou, you've snatched her charm, your charm +20]
...
Beifei glanced at Xiao Sa, then Liu Qianrou, and was dumbfounded.
The two systems —
One a Backup System, the other a Bootlicker System.
Mutual... snatching?
Such plain love, yet so moving.
It brings tears to one's eyes.
