Not all system items could be used to help others; after all, the system was specifically crafted for the host and not for someone else, so Lu Hong had to be selective.


    "Uncle Lu, there''s no need for now. If I need something, I''lle to you," Xiang Beifei said.


    He holds an amulet, a Qi and Blood Pill, a Qi-Raising Talisman, and a Hetu tortoise shell; these things were all rted to the advanced stages of Qi-Controlling.


    The next constetion ability still required four advanced-stage Qi-Controlling system items, which he had already umted. Now, he just needed to raise his cultivation to the advanced stages of Qi-Controlling.


    "No, I must insist! With your strength, those Azure Light Armors, me Dragon Escapes, and the like, are utterly useless to you, nothing but trash." Lu Hong was still contemting what could provide the greatest help to Xiang Beifei.


    "Those things are still very useful. I used your items to deal with Yu Lei that day," he replied.


    Last time Xiang Beifei lit up the constetion for the mid-phase of Qi-Controlling with Lu Hong''s system items, acquiring ''Abruptly Stop,'' and in some aspects, it indeed indirectly helped him to deal with Yu Lei.


    "Really?" Lu Hong was somewhat skeptical. "I thought beating him was just a matter of one punch for you."


    "I really don''t need it, Uncle Lu. You also know I can handle ordinary advanced-stage Qi-Controlling now. I don''t need those at the moment. If I need something else in the future, I will definitelye to you," Xiang Beifei assured.


    Xiang Beifei still decided to let Uncle Lu save his Investigation Value for emergencies.


    Seeing Xiang Beifei talk this way, Lu Hong pondered for a moment and seriously said, "Okay! Whatever you need, don''t be polite with me! I have at least 150,000 system values prepared for you! Perhaps even more, as long as you need it, I can give you more!"


    Lu Hong was a generous and genuine person; he remembered the favor very clearly, and it was far fromparable to a mere 150,000 system values.


    Meanwhile, Lu Hong''s Investigation System had suddenly issued a series of tasks:


    [Analysis of Rapid me feedback from the database isplete. The system has detected that Rapid me may possess even greater potential. Due to the substantial increase inbat power that Rapid me has brought to the host, the system will increase the feedback reward]


    [Should Xiang Beifei continue to improve and provide feedback, the host will receive even higher system rewards]


    [For every 10% increase in Rapid me''s power: +10,000 Investigation Value]


    [If Rapid me''s power is increased by 50%, the host will receive a Rapid me Fire Formation capable of trapping and killing enemies in the final phase of Meridian Opening]


    [If Rapid me''s power is increased by 100%, the host will receive an advanced pill for the final phase of Meridian Opening]


    [Current power increase: 2/10]


    ...


    "This task!"


    Lu Hong, seeing the new task released by his own system, was so astonished he was at a loss for words!


    An increase of 20% in power had already brought him tremendous benefits, but he had never expected that after analyzing Xiang Beifei''s feedback on the punches, his system identified that Rapid me held much greater potential!


    If he could increase it by 100%, he could step into the final phase of Meridian Opening with Xiang Beifei''s help in one fell swoop!


    Lu Hong found his breathing bing rapid!


    He had been stuck in the preliminary phase of Meridian Opening for more than a decade, and had only recently reached the middle-phase. He thought that was his limit, but his system now provided an estimate of even greater potential!


    Then, if... if Xiang Beifei could be stronger, wouldn''t he also be able to quickly advance to the final phase of Meridian Opening?


    "What is it?" Xiang Beifei asked.


    "You''ll never guess what happened to my system again," Lu Hong said with a wry smile, "I don''t know how to put it, but can you improve Rapid me any further?"


    Xiang Beifei saw the new task released by Lu Hong''s Investigation System and after pondering for a moment, he replied, "With my current level of spiritual power, this is as powerful as Rapid me can get. Maybe if I reach a higher realm, I''ll see if there is more room for improvement."


    "Then..."


    "If my cultivation level advances further in the future, and I''m able to improve Rapid me, I''ll inform Uncle Lu at the earliest," Xiang Beifei said.


    "Ah, thank you!" Lu Hong said gratefully.


    At this moment, Lu Zhiwei pushed open the door from outside the training room and after spotting the two, she put her hands on her hips and said, "Well, well! So you''ve been training in secret again without me!"


    "Haha, what are you jealous about, girl!" Lu Hongughed heartily.


    "Pfft, as if I''m jealous!"


    Lu Zhiwei rolled her eyes and holding her phone said, "There''s trouble, and you have no idea!"


    "What''s happened?" Xiang Beifei asked.


    "It''s all because of the mess caused by that article from Yu Lei."


    Lu Zhiwei came in, looking serious.

    Standing up, Lu Hong grabbed two towels, threw one to Xiang Beifei, and asked, "What about the article? Wasn''t it deleted? Xiao Zhang is a cyber cop, and he''s thorough with his work."


    Thew enforcement team''s technical department had a guy named Zhang Youfa, who had awakened the "S-ss, Tracking System." After bing a cyber cop in the team, his technical skills were top-notch, and all kinds of mindless trolls and keyboard warriors had to walk around him carefully.


    There was an incident where someone who had awakened the "Zu''an Greeting System" confronted Xiao Zhang online, and Xiao Zhang simply traced the electronic trail back to the guy''s location, pulled him out of bed without letting him dress, and dragged him to thew enforcement team in just his underpants!


    "I''m not talking about that article, but about Liangzhou University. Dad, you graduated from Liangzhou University, so you should know there''s a ''Tree Hole'' section in the school forum, right?" Lu Zhiwei said.


    "I know about that, what''s wrong?" Lu Hong asked as he wiped off sweat.


    "Now Beifei has be the subject of discussion in that Tree Hole section, and many of thements are quite unfriendly," Lu Zhiwei said.


    "Tree Hole?"


    "It''s an anonymous forum on our Liangzhou University''s schoolwork. In that ce, every Liangzhou University student can anonymously air their grievances about the various trivialities of school life. When the academic pressure gets too high, they can vent out there and say whatever they want to relieve their stress," Lu Zhiwei exined.


    "So, what''s got to do with me?" Xiang Beifei asked.


    "Because of that article Yu Lei postedst time, manyizens got riled up and started attacking our Liangzhou University''s Weibo, hurling all sorts of insults. If a Liangzhou University student were to post a Weibo defending the school, they would be verbally attacked by uninformedizens to the point of breakdown. This has greatly impacted our Liangzhou University!" Lu Zhiwei said earnestly.


    Lu Hong frowned: "Didn''t I rify everything clearly online? Yu Lei started this, and he is the one who should be condemned."


    "But the problem is, it seems that many students from Liangzhou University now believe that this incident is a conspiracy between Beifei and Yu Lei, with Beifei nning to use Yu Lei to pressure Liangzhou University and gain admission through the back door. Now they are saying some pretty nasty things about Beifei," Lu Zhiwei said.


    "So what?" Xiang Beifei didn''t care.


    Lu Hong was browsing posts in the "Tree Hole" on his phone and suddenly spoke in a deep voice, "The problem does seem quite serious."


    Lu Zhiwei thrust her phone into Xiang Beifei''s hands and said, "Take a look for yourself!"
