Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Qin Yi
Lu Zhiwei was taking notes and then asked, "So, you're basing your judgment that he committed this crime just on these facts?"
"With these unlocking abilities and the fact that he was brought to the law enforcement squad, what other reason could there be for his actions besides doing something similar to what's been described?" Xiang Beifei countered.
"Oh, deducing the cause from the result, I've studied that."
Lu Zhiwei suddenly realized and quickly bent down to take more notes.
"You do have a strong desire to learn."
Xiang Beifei observed the diligent Lu Zhiwei.
Although this guy was careless and sometimes silly, he still had a strong desire to improve himself.
"I want to be a city guardian, so I need to learn all these skills."
Lu Zhiwei said earnestly, then stood up, grabbed her notebook, and ran towards the bald man, "Wait, I didn't ask clearly just now, I need to check if what you said is correct."
Five minutes later, Lu Zhiwei ran back, looking at Xiang Beifei with a face full of amazement, "I believe you!"
Her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Xiang Beifei as if viewing a rare treasure.
Xiang Beifei just shrugged noncommittally.
He had indeed exaggerated a bit, but in fact, he had scraped this information from the "Lock-Free" system interface.
Just by seeing which aspects of abilities the bald man used his system value to enhance, one could roughly speculate his specialties.
For example, "spent 300 lock points to enhance his hearing, initially acquiring echolocation abilities," this was his enhanced hearing capability.
Another example, "spent 500 lock points to enhance his fingerprint bioelectricity, able to connect directly with electronic devices, searching the fingerprint database speed +1," it shows his fingerprints could vary based on the fingerprints in the database search.
Lu Zhiwei didn't know these, but because Xiang Beifei described them nearly accurately, it left her completely stunned.
"Xiao Wei, so you were here!"
At this moment, a suave young man walked in through the door.
This man appeared to be about the same age as Lu Zhiwei, dressed in a neat casual outfit, his hair parted in the middle and gelled, gleaming.
"Qin Yi, what are you doing here?"
Lu Zhiwei turned her head and seemed a bit surprised to see this young man here.
"I was just doing some work nearby and knew you were interning here, so I came to find you."
The young man walked in and glanced at Xiang Beifei sitting in his school uniform, then said, "You've caught another high school delinquent? What did he do, steal or fight? Do you need my help to interrogate him?"
"He's not a delinquent, he's my dad's apprentice, his name is Xiang Beifei."
Lu Zhiwei explained and then introduced to Xiang Beifei, "This is my college classmate, Qin Yi."
"Uncle Lu started taking students?"
Qin Yi's gaze flashed with surprise, then he continued, "Didn't Uncle Lu say he was too busy with work to take on apprentices? How come he changed his mind all of a sudden?"
"It's not the same, my dad saw his strong deductive abilities, suitable for being a city guardian, so he took him as an apprentice, planning to groom him properly."
By now, Lu Zhiwei had completely believed in her father's appraisal of Xiang Beifei, "He really is amazing. He only needed one look to describe the criminal's situation in detail. I am currently learning deductive skills from him."
Qin Yi felt a bit uneasy upon hearing these words. He had specifically intended to ask Lu Hong to teach him last time, to get closer to Lu Zhiwei, but Lu Hong had tactfully refused him.
Yet, to his surprise, he found out today that the law enforcement captain of the Western District had taken an apprentice.
What was so special about this young man?
Why had Lu Hong taken him as an apprentice?
"Now I'm curious, he's still just a high school student, right?"
Qin Yi carefully sized up Xiang Beifei, his expression slightly grave, "I remember the Awakened ceremony from high school just passed not long ago, is he an S-class? Or an SR-class genius?"
If he were an S-class or the even stronger SR-class, it was no wonder Lu Hong favored him, and he needed to pay attention; such people were good to establish relationships with for easier interactions in the future.
Lu Zhiwei said, "He's an N-class Awakener, but..."
"Only N-class?"
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
Himself, a distinguished S-class Awakener from Liangzhou University, had been rejected by Lu Hong as a disciple, yet Lu Hong had accepted an N-class as a disciple?
Qin Yi felt aggrieved.
To them, the S-class Awakeners, N-classers were basically trash on the streets, barely noteworthy, so why would Lu Hong choose an N-class?
It wasn't that Qin Yi truly desired to become Lu Hong's disciple; he just wanted to strengthen his ties with Lu Zhiwei. Even if Lu Hong had taken an S-class disciple, he would have accepted it.
But why an N-class?
Qin Yi's gaze towards Xiang Beifei was quite displeased.
This kid, besides being more handsome and taller than him...
How could he compare with him?
He had prestigious family background and was an S-class freshman at Liangzhou University.
Why did Lu Hong choose this kid and not him?
However, Qin Yi suddenly thought of something and chuckled lightly, "I get it, Uncle Lu couldn't be moved by pity for his pathetic N-class Awakener talent and made an exception to give him a chance, could he?"
That was the only explanation.
Otherwise, why would any sane person take an N-class Awakener over an S-class genius?
Thinking this, he felt more at ease.
"Don't talk nonsense; he's my dad's friend's son," Lu Zhiwei said.
"Oh, he got in through the back door!"
Qin Yi became even more disdainful, his voice dripping with sarcasm towards Xiang Beifei.
He, as an S-class prodigy from Liangzhou University, would never regard an N-class Awakener seriously.
"Hey, watch how you speak! He didn't get in through the back door; he's genuinely skilled! Stop looking down on others, okay?" Lu Zhiwei, hands on hips, was clearly unhappy with Qin Yi's snide remarks.
"Alright, alright. You say he's skilled, then he must be!"
Qin Yi chuckled again, glancing at Xiang Beifei.
He wouldn't bother arguing with an N-class Awakener. With only N-class talent, even if he excelled in some areas, how far could he really go?
His lifetime's achievement would merely reach the later stages of Qi-Controlling at best.
Whereas he, as an S-class genius, advancing to the Meridian Opening phase was only a matter of time.
A common chicken and a phoenix were simply incomparable.
In this ruthlessly realistic world, the higher the system talent of the Awakener, the easier it was to carve out accomplishments in any field.
Especially graduates from the nine major universities, each was a member of the elite in society, possessing far more resources than ordinary people, whether in connections or status.
Qin Yi, as an S-class from Liang Da, just by stepping out, could make a great success in business or leadership, a true paragon among people.
In his eyes, the likes of Xiang Beifei, an N-class Awakener, would end up working under someone like him, an S-class prodigy, in the future.
