When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 469 - 354: Meeting (Two Chapters Combined)_2

Cao Pei had also just noticed He Caiwei, but he seemed unsurprised and said with a smile, "Commander He has arrived, and everyone should recognize Commander He, an alumnus of Liangzhou University. Today we are fortunate to have Commander He attend our Liangzhou University faculty meeting. Let’s give him a warm welcome."

A round of enthusiastic applause echoed throughout the meeting room.

The teachers here were naturally aware of He Caiwei’s identity and status. The reason elite schools scramble to snatch high-ranking talents from high schools across Jiuzhou every year is to maintain their voice in the alliance.

As an UR-level Awakener, He Caiwei had emerged from Liangzhou University!

Among the alumni of Liangzhou University, he is one with extraordinary achievements—the commander of the entire Jiuzhou Beast Tide Defense Department!

The person who held this position before him was Luo Yunxian.

Such an important position being consecutively held by two individuals from Liangzhou University demonstrates the confidence Liangzhou University has within the alliance!

Ye Changfeng did not clap. He did not welcome this man.

Despite being a product of Liangzhou University, He Caiwei did not truly stand with Liangzhou University; within the alliance, he belonged to the vanguard of the "Idle Faction," siding with other UR-level elites from elite schools to ostracize Elder Luo and even failing to speak up for Liangzhou University on some key decisions.

He claimed to be "helping justice, not relatives," but in actuality, he was "helping his own interests, not relatives."

Before the meeting, Cao Pei and other school leaders did not notify Elder Luo and did not even consider him as a staff member to be included in the meeting. They did not invite Elder Luo, but they did invite someone like He Caiwei.

That was because in Cao Pei’s eyes, UR-level He Caiwei was clearly more worth ingratiating with than Luo Yunxian, who had retired and no longer had much say. Previously, they could never invite him, but now that he had volunteered to come, Cao Pei could not be happier.

"It is a fortunate thing that Commander He could take the time out of his busy schedule to guide our work. Now, please allow Commander He to say a few words," Cao Pei said with a beaming smile.

Another round of applause broke out in the auditorium.

"Thank you, Principal Cao. Being able to return to Liangzhou University is a very nice thing," He Caiwei said.

He Caiwei slowly walked up from the corner, and Cao Pei made way for the main speaker’s position, clearing the floor for He Caiwei.

Glancing over the entire meeting room, he revealed an approachable smile: "Coming back to Liangzhou University once again is indeed quite moving for me. After all, this is my alma mater. I hope it can develop even better in the future, and if there are any issues, I also hope to contribute to building Liangzhou University."

He looked towards Ye Changfeng and then said, "Let us continue with the question Mr. Ye just raised. Mr. Ye, are you hoping for elite universities to recruit N-level students?"

"That’s correct," Ye Changfeng replied with neither servility nor arrogance.

"Then how do you plan to deal with these N-level students?" He Caiwei asked.

Ye Changfeng responded, "I suggest taking advantage of the influence brought by Xiang Beifei to set up a special improvement class, specifically recruiting high-scoring N-level students and arranging courses according to their abilities."

He Caiwei nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Ye’s intention is good, but you’ve forgotten one thing: the number of N-level students who can achieve success is ultimately sparse. If we indiscriminately let them into our school, the quality of our student body will become uneven, and N-level students are also likely to face exclusion from others."

"However, we should consider another aspect. These N-level students lack any advantage from the system’s ranking, but scoring over 650 points entirely through their own intellect proves they are clever and have a solid foundation. They may not have achieved much in martial Dao, but with their brains, they certainly have a place in the literary Dao," Ye Changfeng paused before continuing, "Offering such students a chance to study at elite universities is not a bad idea. On one hand, it can showcase Liangzhou University’s magnanimity, and on the other hand, it can enhance the influence of Liangzhou University."

Wei Tong spoke dismissively from below, "N-level students, even if they graduate from an elite university, won’t achieve much in the future. What’s the use of learning? How many low-ranking Awakeners ever make something of themselves?"

"Education should be fair, not biased by the advantage of the system’s ranking to deny these high-scoring N-level students the chance to even receive the finest education by keeping them out of elite universities with one single standard."

"Every day we face various threats from desolate beasts in the outer domains. If the desolate beasts were to attack on a large scale again, those Level N students might not be able to join the fight, but they would at least understand how to protect those around them, as well as handle logistics. That is the purpose of teaching and nurturing students at elite schools, to cultivate people who can protect civilians at critical moments."

Ye Changfeng still held fast to his view.

He Caiwei smiled slightly and said unhurriedly,

"Mr. Ye seems to have forgotten something. Cultivating Level N students is what ordinary universities are supposed to do, not something for elite institutions to consider. This is the difference between ordinary and elite universities. If we also start enrolling Level N students on a large scale, what’s the point of having elite universities? Mr. Ye, your suggestion needs further consideration, and I don’t agree with its feasibility."

Ye Changfeng fell silent for a moment and didn’t speak again.

The system determined fate; a person’s social status was destined at the moment of their awakening. No matter how smart they were, if they awakened a Level N system, it was basically hopeless. He wanted to change this situation, but still felt powerless.

Moreover, Cao Pei had already planned to use He Caiwei to raise Liangzhou University’s status within the Alliance, creating further complications.

"Where has Elder Luo gone, with no news for so long?"

Ye Changfeng let out a small sigh inside. If Elder Luo were still at the university, how could someone like He Caiwei even have a say? But recently, Elder Luo was hardly ever at the university, and He Caiwei had been keeping an eye on him. He was making these moves because he had noticed Elder Luo’s absence.

"That being said, why haven’t we seen Xiang Beifei lately? He hasn’t attended classes, nor has he shown his face around the university. It’s been two months since anyone last saw him," Cao Pei inquired.

"He is cultivating," Ye Changfeng replied.

"Not showing up at all, not a trace of the discipline a student should have—that’s unacceptable! He hasn’t even requested leave from me!" Wei Tong huffed.

"The essence of martial Dao is cultivation," Ye Changfeng responded.

He Caiwei looked at Ye Changfeng with a meaningful expression, saying, "A student should still behave like a student. I hope he’s not using cultivation as an excuse to skip classes. As far as I’m aware, although he has reached the proficiency required to graduate, he is still a student if he hasn’t completely passed all the graduation course assessments."

"Dean Wei’s words make sense. Since Xiang Beifei hasn’t requested leave, his current actions are equivalent to skipping classes. If he doesn’t follow the school’s regulations, I don’t think Dean Wei would allow him to graduate. If he isn’t able to graduate in the end, that would be quite the joke once it gets out. Mr. Ye, I hope you’ll talk to him."

Ye Changfeng’s expression darkened.

With Xiang Beifei’s abilities, passing the graduation assessment would be a piece of cake, but the problem was that He Caiwei was obviously intending to interfere with the affairs of Liangzhou University. Wei Tong stood with He Caiwei, and whether Xiang Beifei could graduate was up to He Caiwei’s decision.

He Caiwei now wanted to suppress Xiang Beifei, making him show up daily, monitoring him, and disrupting his cultivation rhythm. And even if he did show up, He Caiwei wasn’t likely to let him graduate easily!

Xiang Beifei’s reputation was soaring high; if such a talent couldn’t graduate, he would likely face much criticism.

Whether or not to graduate was actually irrelevant to Xiang Beifei; even if he dropped out, it wouldn’t make much difference. But the problem was, many people would start questioning Liangzhou University, and at that time, He Caiwei could direct all the blame towards Elder Luo.

As a venerable elder of Liangzhou University, it would be a huge joke if a student mentored by Elder Luo couldn’t meet the graduation requirements of Liangzhou University. Elder Luo’s reputation in the public eye would likely plummet.

With just a little push from He Caiwei using his own tactics, he could completely set Elder Luo against all Level N Awakeners!

The supporters of Xiang Beifei were all brought up by the Alliance, and it wouldn’t be hard for the Alliance to guide them. With just a slight implication that Xiang Beifei couldn’t graduate because of Elder Luo, all Level N Awakeners might join together in an offensive against Elder Luo!

This was He Caiwei’s real aim!

"This is getting troublesome."

Ye Changfeng began to feel a growing anxiety.
