Cheating Is Now Possible

Cheating Is Now Possible

Early in the morning, Li Dingguo woke from sleep. After washing up, he saw that it was still early. With nothing to do, he simply went alone for a stroll in the garden beside his residence.

Walking alone at a leisurely pace, he seemed to recall something. He immediately sank his consciousness into his mind.

A crude Virtual Panel promptly appeared in his mind:

"Host: Li Dingguo

Age: Ten (Status: Healthy)

Constitution: 4

Spirit: 2

Skill: Tiger Roar Fist+ (Not Yet Initiated)

Fortune: 5 (When Fortune Value reaches zero, calamity is inevitable)

Star Destiny: Army Breaker (Not Activated)"

To his delighted surprise, his Fortune Value had inexplicably increased by four points!

Moreover, a skill had now appeared on the skill panel!

What made him even more overjoyed was that this sole skill actually displayed an option to cheat by adding points!

"Hahahaha..."

Overwhelmed with joy, he could not help bursting into laughter in his heart. "I knew it! My Cheat System couldn't possibly be useless!"

"See? I can finally start cheating!"

Although he did not understand why his Fortune Value had suddenly increased so much,

it was undoubtedly related to being taken in by Eight Great Kings and receiving his full support in cultivation.

That made sense. He had gone from an orphan beggar who often had one meal but no next meal, never knowing whether he would survive the day, to a gifted youth who could now eat and drink his fill while receiving Eight Great Kings' wholehearted training. Naturally, his fate had changed from then on.

With such a change, it was only natural for his Fortune Value to soar.

"I wonder whether there are other ways to increase Fortune Value besides this sort of natural growth?"

He did not believe his Cheat System could be so simple. There had to be other unknown mysteries to it.

"Now, my only skill, Tiger Roar Fist, can be enhanced through cheating with added points. It presumably requires consuming Fortune Value."

"But judging from the Cheat System panel's warning about Fortune Value, it goes without saying that it can not only be used to add points to skills, but is also closely tied to my own luck."

"Therefore, it's not that I can't consume Fortune Value to cheat, but I need to be careful."

"Otherwise, if my luck becomes too low, I'll probably be struck by terrible misfortune!"

Having lived two lives, Li Dingguo was naturally no fool. Of course, he would not act rashly.

After thinking it over carefully, he had basically understood the use of Fortune Value.

"I've only just learned Tiger Roar Fist. Using Fortune Value to cheat immediately would clearly not be the act of a wise man. It might arouse Eight Great Kings' suspicion, or even the envy, jealousy, and hatred of the dozen or so gifted youths here."

"Besides, who knows how difficult it will be to obtain Fortune Value?"

"If I casually use up something as precious as Fortune Value, who knows when I'll be able to replenish it again?"

Li Dingguo calmed down once more. After pondering for a while, he finally made his decision. "With my natural talent, it should only take a few days for me to master this set of Tiger Roar Fist on my own, develop Qi and Blood Power, and break through to become a Junior Martial Artist. That is already as certain as a nail driven into a board—there is no doubt about it."

"Whether to save Fortune Value or conceal my secrets, I should quietly lie low and develop for now. It isn't the time to use Fortune Value to cheat."

"Unless I run into a life-and-death crisis and need to risk my life to survive. Then I won't be able to worry about all that."

"I'm right under Eight Great Kings' nose. If I draw his suspicion and my companions' jealousy, it won't be a good thing."

Making a fortune in silence was what Li Dingguo wished for. With that thought, he made up his mind.

Besides, with his outstanding talent, even if he cultivated steadily through his own efforts, he would not be inferior to the dozen or so gifted youths here.

It was like a nouveau riche who became wealthy overnight yet did not know to keep a low profile. Once he grew carried away with pride, he would inevitably catch the attention of people with ulterior motives, and schemes and traps would come one after another.

Especially in this wondrous yet incomparably dangerous world, it was necessary to hide his secrets well and honestly lie low for a while.

At present, he did not possess any cultivation technique or skill that could conceal his cultivation level and aura, so he absolutely could not act recklessly.

Yesterday, Zhang Xianzhong had merely observed these youths for a short while, yet he had easily picked out each and every gifted youth among them who had not yet broken through to become Martial Artists.

If he used his Cheat System to add points and rapidly broke through to become a Martial Artist, there was no way he could hide it from Zhang Xianzhong.

Gathering his thoughts and regaining his composure, Li Dingguo calmly chatted idly, as usual, with Ai Nengqi, who had just walked over to his side.

After a while, the two soldiers who had brought the youths here yesterday strode into this inner courtyard residence. They loudly called for everyone to gather in the main courtyard ahead, collect their spiritual breakfast, and then continue practicing Tiger Roar Fist there.

To save the cooks' time and improve efficiency, the dozen or so gifted youths ate breakfast together with the ordinary orphan youths who remained in the main courtyard.

Only at dinner would they return to this inner residence for specially prepared meals.

They also practiced martial arts together, in order to cultivate mutual understanding among the youths.

After all, once they became Martial Artists and soldiers of the rebel army in the future, they would mostly fight together during marches and battles. It was necessary for everyone to become familiar with one another and train in coordination.

In future marches and wars, the rebel army's main force naturally could not rely solely on these gifted youths. All the rebel army's Martial Soldiers would still need to coordinate and fight together.

Furthermore, once Li Dingguo and these gifted youths were successfully trained, there was a high chance they would become officers of various ranks within the rebel army. How could they do without familiarity with the soldiers under their command?

Eight Great Kings, who planned far ahead, naturally would not make such a low-level mistake.

Led by the two soldiers, the dozen or so gifted youths, washed, dressed, and neatly attired, marched into the main courtyard ahead with their heads held high.

Their brand-new clothes, shoes, and socks inevitably stirred up a small commotion among the hundred-plus orphan youths already waiting there.

In just one night, these gifted youths specially selected by Eight Great Kings had received completely different treatment. Naturally, this drew the others' envy and jealousy.

But there was nothing to be done. That was the treatment geniuses received.

Complaining about heaven and blaming others was no use at all.

What had to be done still had to be done.

Being insignificant and without influence, they did not dare voice any objections. Even if they had objections, they had to keep them bottled up inside.

At this time, as usual, more than a dozen cooks drove nearly ten large horse carts into the main courtyard at an unhurried pace.

About a quarter of an hour later, the one hundred and eighty orphan youths had eaten their fill and rested briefly. Under the guidance of the newly arrived Zhang Xianzhong and several rebel army Martial Soldiers, they began another day of Tiger Roar Fist practice.

Just as they had yesterday afternoon, Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, and the other dozen or so gifted youths gathered together once again, with Zhang Xianzhong personally instructing them.

The difference was that after yesterday's practice, combined with the nourishment of Spirit Rice Meal and Vitality and Blood Soup, Li Dingguo and the others' every move and stance carried the force of a tiger today. Their progress in cultivating Tiger Roar Fist was rapidly increasing.

Before long, these gifted youths would likely master this set of Tiger Roar Fist, awaken their own Qi and Blood Power, step across the threshold of Martial Artists, and break through to become Martial Artists.
