Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 164 Job Delivered to Your Door

"Master, aren't you going to dismantle that system?" The little ball of light asked anxiously as it watched the other party walk away.

"How do we dismantle it?" Qiu Ci asked. She had just examined the other party's primordial spirit and found no parasites on it. This meant that this system was different from the previous insect system. It wasn't something that absorbed the power of other people's primordial spirits, but rather an auxiliary system similar to the dog system. She really didn't know how to dismantle it.

"I have a system monitoring and punishment mechanism installed, which can forcibly uninstall the other party's system." The little ball of light immediately responded happily, "The system can only be bound to the great inhabitants of Earth. Binding to other beings is a violation of the rules, and such a system should be forcibly uninstalled."

"You have this ability?" Qiu Ci asked in surprise. "But didn't you just say you couldn't eat it?"

"That's because...because...the other side has more energy and a higher version than me, so the success rate of forced uninstallation is very low." The little ball of light replied weakly. "However, once it consumes some of its energy, we can force uninstallation."

"I see. Let's observe for now." The system is bound to that young man named Feng Shanming, so it must have a purpose. It seems to be a system for revenge and face-slapping. The other party accumulates so-called "face-slapping points" to exchange for things from the system. These things will definitely consume system energy, so she can wait until the other party exchanges them before taking action.

As for whether the bug system from last time was a subroutine of this "face-slapping" system, we can only check after uninstalling it.

Qiu Ci didn't linger in the park and quickly returned to the hotel. She left a trace of her divine sense on Feng Shanming so that she could sense his location at any time, so there was no need to rush.

For the next few days, she didn't leave the hotel. Instead, she used the dog system to try and learn everything about this continent online. She found out that the group of people who fought in the park were all wearing the uniforms of Yizhong City No. 1 Middle School, and they were even from the graduating class.

The education system in this world is similar to that on Earth, both requiring students to attend schools. However, the classification of cultivation levels is completely different from that on Earth.

The school is divided into three levels: junior, middle and senior. Everyone who is six years old can enroll in the junior school, but instead of teaching cultivation, it teaches basic knowledge in a standardized way, similar to what is taught in primary and secondary schools on Earth. The school term is also nine years.

The intermediate school is divided into academic and cultivation classes. Anyone can enroll in the academic class, but only those with spiritual roots can enroll in the cultivation class, which is considered a formal entry into cultivation. The cultivation class teaches all the basic cultivation knowledge, and students can graduate upon reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

Advanced schools are where all cultivators truly train and improve. Each academy has its own admission standards, and only those who meet the standards can apply for admission. Among them, the most famous are the Five Great Academies. The rankings of the Five Great Academies are basically the same, so they hold a selection competition every time they recruit students. Those who pass the competition can join the academy, and the top ten can choose to enroll in any one of them.

The provincial league mentioned by the group of rainbow bullies is a national competition held between various secondary schools. It starts with provincial competitions between schools, followed by a national competition. This competition is highly prestigious, and those who can achieve a top-three finish in the provincial league are very likely to be admitted to one of the five top academies in advance.

Qiu Ci recalled the conversation between the group and realized that before he got the system, Feng Shanming was a bottom-of-the-barrel student. He only started to turn the tables after he got the system. He should also be participating in this competition. The group of rainbow boys were probably the school bullies who got their comeuppance.

She had already figured out that Feng Shanming was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Logically speaking, such a cultivation level would be considered intermediate not only in a mid-level school but also in one of the five major universities. Yet he deliberately concealed his cultivation level. Was it just so that it would be more satisfying to slap those Foundation Establishment stage rainbow teenagers in the face?
Qiu Ci didn't understand and expressed her incomprehension; indeed, the system was the one playing tricks.

She checked the participation in previous years' leagues and found that this so-called league was indeed full of talented people. Although intermediate schools only require Foundation Establishment cultivation to graduate, many of the participants in previous years' leagues were Golden Core stage students, and even the top three list often included geniuses in the Nascent Soul stage or half-step Nascent Soul stage.

From this perspective, Feng Shanming's participation in the league is not a sure thing for him to win the championship. He will inevitably have to use the system to complete the mission. The system will have to consume energy to help him, such as when he advances from the Nascent Soul stage to the Divine Transformation stage. The energy consumption at that time will definitely be considerable.

All she needs to do is seize the opportunity and force the dog system to uninstall before the other party can replenish its energy. But what reason should she give to get involved in this league?
Just as Qiu Ci was agonizing over whether she should really go back to pretending to be a student and randomly enroll in some intermediate school to squeeze into the league, the opportunity presented itself to her. "Ms. Chu, hello, do you remember me?" A man in a repair bureau uniform stood outside the door, smiling kindly.

“You are… the receptionist from the Repair and Management Bureau.” Qiu Ci recognized the person instantly; it was the one who had brought her to the hotel.

"Yes, my name is Wei Ming." The man nodded and pointed to his employee badge. "Ms. Chu has been in Yizhong City for a while now. I wonder if you're settling in well? Are you having any difficulties?"

"I'm quite used to it, thank you." Qiu Ci quickly stepped aside to welcome him in, pouring him a cup of tea. "What brings you here? Or has the Repair and Management Bureau issued some new regulations?"

"No, no," he quickly waved his hand and said, "I just came to pay a follow-up visit and check on your situation. By the way, I haven't asked Ms. Chu which path you specialize in yet?"

"Kendo, I suppose." Could she say she was proficient in both?
"Kendo!" Wei Ming's eyes lit up. "Kendo is great! What are your plans for the future?"

"not yet."

"Has Ms. Chu found a job recently?" he asked again.

"Uh...no." Damn, I forgot that people have to work in modern society, and monks are no exception.

"That's great!" The other person suddenly stood up excitedly, looking like they had found a treasure.

"..." What do you mean? You're so happy that I'm unemployed.

"Uh, no!" Wei Ming realized what was going on and quickly explained, "It's like this, if Ms. Chu hasn't decided what to do yet, how about trying a short-term job?"

"Short-term work?" So he's arranged for me to work here.

"It's like this." Wei Ming handed over the documents in his hand and said seriously, "I have a nephew who is currently studying at Yizhong City No. 1 Middle School. He majors in kendo and has a pretty good talent, but he lacks practical experience. The inter-school league is about to start, so I'd like to ask someone to give him some urgent tutoring. I wonder if Ms. Chu would be interested?"

Oh, so you wanted to hire a tutor.

Qiu Ci took the document and glanced at the name—Wei Yanxin.

This name... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.
