The reference answer in the textbook is:
——
Once you reveal the unique features of your system, others will intentionally target your system, preventing you from completing the system's tasks, and the road to becoming a strong person will be extremely difficult.
It's like awakening a "Negative Emotion System," where upsetting others will strengthen yourself.
Then if your opponent knows about your system, they will not easily generate negative emotions for you to take advantage of during your interactions. Once more people know about your system, it will become useless.
Therefore, keeping your system a secret is of great importance.
——
That is the correct answer.
However, when Xiang Beifei crossed over, he found himself in the middle of an exam. It happened to be April Fool's Day, and he thought the teacher had prepared such a test for the senior students to relax, so he casually gave a response.
After the exam, he realized that this world had changed.
It had become incredibly absurd.
The class teacher, furious, read Xiang Beifei's answer aloud to the whole class, and everyone burst into laughter.
"This is a question that gives you points! You all got it wrong, and you still want to get into college? How many times have I told you, in the college entrance exam, eighty percent is based on fundamental knowledge, as long as you secure the basic points, getting into a key university is not a problem! Look at what you've done, even the basics are wrong, and you still have the face to laugh at me!"
The class teacher lifted his glasses, glared angrily, and all the students quickly tried their best to suppress their laughter.
Whatever the class teacher was saying after that, Xiang Beifei was no longer listening; he was just staring at the previous question, lost in thought.
"As everyone knows, besides oneself, other people cannot see the system one awakens to..."
Can everyone really only see their own system and not others?
Xiang Beifei pondered over this sentence, finding it very strange, and couldn't help but look up at the class teacher.
Right above the class teacher's head, there was a system panel that read:
[Host: Yang Hua]
[Rank R, Master Dao System]
[Realm: Late-stage Qi-Controlling]
This interface seemed to be displaying the class teacher's awakened system level and information. After the class teacher finished scolding the class, another line of text floated up:
[You criticized Xiang Beifei for being distracted, teacher prestige +1]
[You made the whole class quiet down, teacher prestige +1]
...
"Isn't it said that other people can't see one's system except oneself? Then why can I see other people's system panels?"
Xiang Beifei was very puzzled.
He had been familiarizing himself with this world for the past week, and the more he understood it, the more he couldn't comprehend this point.
Besides those students under eighteen who had not yet awakened to a system, he had seen many people's system panels.
Teachers from other classes, the bus driver, even the auntie selling breakfast had her own "Little Food God System," with today's task being to earn 10 wealth value points for each bun sold, which could then be exchanged for corresponding rewards in the system mall.
Systems in this world were as common as freebies, one per person, as if this place was a wholesale world of systems.
He had confirmed that everyone could not see other people's systems, but he alone could.
This also had a benefit; at least he would know why each person was doing something, and he was clear about the purpose of their anger, such as the class teacher currently criticizing a student.
Class teacher Yang Hua was scolding Xiang Beifei's deskmate, Kong Xiuwen. Kong Xiuwen was a bottom-of-the-class student, with an integrated score of 23 points, and his face was full of gloom as he was being scolded.
Another line of text appeared on the system panel of teacher Yang Hua:
[You criticized Kong Xiuwen for failing in composite score, teacher prestige value +1]
Yang Hua looked annoyed, as if he was frustrated with the student's lack of improvement, but there was a smile at the bottom of his eyes because he knew very well the purpose of his anger.
His "Master Dao System" needed to accumulate "teacher prestige value"; reaching 10,000 points would complete a task and earn him a Soul Condensing Pill to cultivate spiritual power!
At that moment, teacher Yang Hua's system panel already had 9,997 teacher prestige points!
Yang Hua's heart was racing with excitement. To accumulate these ten thousand teacher prestige points, he had been working hard for two whole months and three days! Finally, today he would complete his task!
Yang Hua seemed impatient, "Just 3 points, 3 more prestige points, who should I scold next? Who would be a good choice to scold?"
His Master Dao System had many tasks, and when he normally scolded students, it would bring him prestige points, which could enhance his power. His power had a significant correlation with his performance reviews and rewards!
Unfortunately, each student could only add to his prestige once a day for a given incident, which made his prestige points rise very slowly. However, he could always find other flaws in his students to exploit.
Today, Yang Hua had already scolded all the students he could. Now it was time to find another reason to continue scolding.
He set his sights on Xiang Beifei, noticing that Beifei's hair on the sides was nearly touching his ears. Seizing the opportunity, he put on a stern face and scolded:
"Xiang Beifei! How many times have I said it? As a senior high school student, do not let your hair grow too long; you should maintain a standard buzz cut. What's with the length of your hair? I've said it so many times, a buzz cut looks sharp, helps you concentrate on your studies—are you waiting for me to give you a haircut myself?"
[You reprimanded Beifei, whose hair doesn't meet the standards, increasing teacher prestige value by +2]
Yang Hua was overjoyed inside, his teacher prestige value had accumulated to 9999 points.
Reprimanded, Beifei felt somewhat helpless and muttered, "Looks like I'll have to get a haircut after school."
Yang Hua saw Beifei's lips moving and, thinking Beifei was complaining, immediately took another opportunity:
"Xiang Beifei, what are you mumbling? Are you dissatisfied with my teaching? If you're dissatisfied, you can go to another class—see if any other homeroom teacher would want you! What an attitude! Poor grades and still disobeying discipline, what can you do in the future like this?"
Beifei opened his mouth, looking rather innocent.
[You reprimanded Beifei for talking back, increasing teacher prestige value by +2]
Even though Yang Hua was still keeping a stern face, his eyes were now filled with unparalleled excitement—he had reached 10001 prestige value!
At last, the task was complete!
Yang Hua was in tears. Collecting the teacher prestige value had been way too difficult.
He couldn't add prestige value again the same day for criticizing minor things he had already addressed, so he established various class rules and every day he would creatively find faults with the students, giving them a scolding, nitpicking over the smallest issues.
Of course, Yang Hua was selective about which students he scolded. He would investigate their family backgrounds; students from families with SSR or higher-level System Awakeners, he wouldn't dare to scold, he would even show them extra care. But students from ordinary families without high-level system backgrounds, he had no such reservations.
"Go over the test papers yourselves first, I'll explain them in a moment!" Yang Hua hurriedly said, eager to claim his system task reward as he had accumulated ten thousand prestige value.
Beifei was also curiously staring at Homeroom Teacher Yang Hua's system panel, which displayed a new message:
[You've completed the current task, reward: one Soul Condensing Pill. Would you like to claim your reward?]
"Yes! Of course, yes!"
Yang Hua clenched his fist, almost roaring with excitement.
[System task confirmation, dispensing task reward...]
Yang Hua hummed a little tune, joyful at heart.
[Dispensing task reward...]
Yang Hua paused, huh? Strange, why hasn't it been dispensed yet?
Maybe his Master Dao System needed time to confirm? No worries, just wait a bit longer.
[Task reward dispensing complete]
"It's complete?"
Yang Hua looked at his empty hands—wasn't the system supposed to have dispensed the reward? Why did no Soul Condensing Pill appear in his hands?
"Wait a minute, system, where's my Soul Condensing Pill?"
Yang Hua frantically checked his system.
[Reward dispensed, please select your next task]
"Bullshit! When was it dispensed?"
Yang Hua slapped the desk, shouting furiously.
Instead of thinking these words, this time he shouted them out loud, startling all the students.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" the class president Zhuo Jing asked with concern.
"Shut up!"
Yang Hua bellowed!
Zhuo Jing was utterly bewildered.
Yang Hua quickly realized he had lost his composure and said in a hurried tone to the class, "What I mean is... focus on your self-study, I need to deal with something concerning the Awakening System in a moment, so everybody stay quiet!"
Yang Hua was so furious he could burst—after all the trouble of collecting prestige value for months by scolding students, it seemed as though the Master Dao System had swallowed it whole. He simply couldn't stand it!
Enraged, Yang Hua stormed out of the classroom, intending to find a place where he could confront his system with what was really up!
"What's gotten into the homeroom teacher? Feels like he's just eaten a barrel of gunpowder?"
All the students began to discuss.
Only Beifei sat silently in the back row of the classroom, not participating.
Gazing thoughtfully at his hand, there lay a brown pill—exactly the Soul Condensing Pill that had just been on Homeroom Teacher Yang Hua's system task reward list!
