When system cheat becomes rampant!

Though "Learn by Analogy" endowed him with a strong learning ability, for it to take effect, the prerequisite was to master an ability, then he could learn other abilities in the same category.

Therefore, he had to master "Rapid Flame" on his own.

Xiang Beifei practiced until midnight, had grandpa not called, he might have forgotten about the time altogether.

"Xiao Wei, it\'s so late, you send him home," Lu Hong said.

"Dad, I\'m a girl, you know! Since when does a girl send a boy home?"

Lu Zhiwei stared at her own father with wide eyes.

"You\'re always in such a hurry, where\'s the resemblance to a girl?"

Lu Hong waved his hand dismissively; in his eyes, his daughter, who liked to fight, was no different from any boy.

Now that she\'d reached the late stages of Qi-Controlling, as long as she didn\'t encounter a Meridian Opening practitioner like Chen Gang, basically no one could harm her.

It wasn\'t easy to encounter a Meridian Opening practitioner in this area anyway.

"Aren\'t you afraid that I, a young girl, might run into bad people while walking at night?"

Lu Zhiwei batted her large eyes, looking pitiful.

Lu Hong looked her over and said, "Ordinary bad people should be more afraid of running into you."

Lu Zhiwei: "..."

Lu Hong patted his head and said, "I almost forgot, Beifei, your Azure Light Armor was damaged yesterday. I\'ll give you another piece, protect yourself well."

He redeemed another piece of Azure Light Armor with 500 Investigation Value and pressed it onto Xiang Beifei\'s body.

"Uncle Lu, this..."

Xiang Beifei hadn\'t expected Lu Hong to give him another piece of Azure Light Armor.

Xiang Beifei was still at the beginning stages of Qi-Controlling; the Azure Light Armor was a system item for the intermediate stages of Qi-Controlling, and it could still be used to light up the next star position.

"This is a Qi-replenishing pill, it can speed up the recovery of Spiritual Power. You train too hard, which is a big burden on the body. Although it\'s good to practice diligently, you can\'t be too hasty. Take it slow."

Lu Hong spent another 500 system points to exchange for a pill.

"Uncle Lu, this is too extravagant," Xiang Beifei said.

"Don\'t mention it. Yesterday you helped me catch Lai Wuying, and last night you helped me solve a case. Some things can\'t be compared to these little items," Lu Hong said generously with a wave of his hand.

Xiang Beifei looked at Lu Hong\'s system interface.

Catching Lai Wuying yesterday wasn\'t mainly credited to Lu Hong, so even though it was a big case, it only added 800 Investigation Value to Lu Hong.

Catching the bank robbery accomplice at night only added 100 Investigation Value.

He exchanged two system items for Xiang Beifei, plus the Azure Light Armor that Xiang Beifei melted, and the muscle-regenerating paste redeemed just now for 100 points, which meant Lu Hong was down 700 system points.

But Lu Hong wasn\'t a person to fuss over every little thing. The matter with Lai Wuying meant far more to him than a mere 700 system points.

"Thank you."

Xiang Beifei didn\'t make a fuss; he was still only in the Qi-Controlling stage, strictly speaking not even a proper Daoist practitioner yet, lacking in strength.

He knew he needed these.

Accept them and then remember the favor.

"Dad, you\'re really generous."

Lu Zhiwei shrugged her shoulders.

"There\'s nothing to be generous about. Xiao Wei, since you don\'t have any work here and it\'s so late, you should go home to sleep. It just so happens you\'re going the same way as Beifei. Don\'t worry, you will be very safe walking at night."

Lu Hong was still in a hurry to go back and write the case report. After saying that, he left.

"Wait, what do you mean I\'ll be very safe walking at night ..."

Lu Zhiwei huffed and puffed behind him, Inquiring Dao.

Xiang Beifei wiped off his sweat, strapped on his backpack, and said, "You don\'t need to walk me home, I know the way."

"Too late!"

Lu Zhiwei made a scary face, grabbed Xiang Beifei\'s backpack, and began dragging him outside: "My dad asked me to be a \'guardian of the grass\', I have to protect this little blade of grass from being trampled."

----

The two walked on the road, it was already late at night, with few pedestrians around, and the occasional late worker hurried past without giving them a second glance.

"Damn it, they actually say I\'m safer walking at night. Do I really look that safe?"

Lu Zhiwei grumbled all the way, growing more discontented by the minute, throwing a few punches at the air with a "biu-biu-biu".

"I don\'t think Uncle Lu meant it that way..."

Xiang Beifei turned his head to look at the crow flying above them, which had been following them all along.

Lu Hong certainly wouldn\'t let his daughter walk alone at night, so he deployed his investigative crow. If anything happened, the crow would notify him immediately and Lu Hong could be there in less than a minute.

When he spoke of safety, he meant the crow.

But Lu Zhiwei wasn\'t paying attention to the crow.

"Then what does it mean! I\'m his own daughter after all, and he says I\'m safer walking at night?"

Lu Zhiwei kept touching her own face and then turned to glare at Xiang Beifei: "Hey, Beifei, how do I look?"

"Not bad."

"Out of ten, how much would you give?"

"???"

Xiang Beifei was encountering a girl asking him to rate her for the first time.

Isn\'t this a topic that should be discussed among guys?

"Then let\'s go with ten."

He gave a honest perfect score to avoid listening to complaints all the way.

"Then why do they say I\'m safer walking at night? Forget it, you definitely won\'t tell the truth."

Lu Zhiwei stood there, hands on hips, clearly upset. Just then, a young man with a briefcase came walking towards them.

Lu Zhiwei grabbed the man, shoved him against a wall, and punched the brick beside his ear with a forceful "wall-bang", asking brashly, "Hey, I want to ask you something. Do you think I look safe?"

The young man was walking along just fine when suddenly he was pressed against the wall with the brick beside his ear cracking from the impact, causing him to start screaming, "Help! Help! I\'m being robbed!"

"What are you shouting for? I\'m a city guardian!" Lu Zhiwei gave the man a stern look.

"You\'re a city guardian? But I... I haven\'t done anything, I\'m just a programmer, law-abiding, working a nine-to-nine-six schedule, the company squeezes me dry, I\'ve been working overtime till now, haven\'t had time to misbehave..."

The young man, thinking he was in big trouble, quickly explained with a mournful face.

He was only mid-stage in Qi-Controlling, with the Awakening of the "N-Level Coder System," specializing in typing rather than fighting.

"Cut the crap, a guardian is on a case. Answer my question, cooperate with the investigation."

"What... what question?"

"If you were a bad guy, would you try anything with me?"

"..."

The young man was so confused by the question that he couldn\'t even respond.

Such an idiot!

Xiang Beifei held his forehead, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"With your personality, anyone would feel safe..."

Xiang Beifei quickly dragged Lu Zhiwei away, to prevent her from making more foolish mistakes.
