Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 143

Lu Mingfei, a complete loser in his first year of high school, was just another face in the crowd at Shilan High School, a prestigious school full of strong students.

This isn't how you act as a lackey; having a lackey like this lowers your own standards...

Lu Mingfei, after showing off a few skills last semester, underwent a remarkable transformation, suddenly becoming someone they couldn't quite comprehend...

And now, Lu Mingfei, who was an elite last semester, has become... completely unfazed?

She couldn't quite describe Lu Mingfei's current state. She didn't know if he was more confident than before, but he had lost the sharp edge he had last semester. Instead, he was calm and composed, and chatting with them was just like the way uncles and aunts joked around with the younger generation.

Has his status risen again? Or did he gain enlightenment after experiencing the great disaster in Japan? People can always take things less seriously after experiencing life and death, and Lu Mingfei has the means to spend the New Year in Tokyo, Japan, so it's not impossible.

"The teacher is here, it's time to start class as usual."

Lu Mingfei reminded him.

Su Xiaoqiang turned around and looked, only to find that the teacher had come from nowhere!

Turning his head again, Lu Mingfei was already resting his elbows on the table, his other hand supporting his face as he stared blankly out the window.

"Damn it, if you don't want to talk, then don't! Is it really necessary to use such a childish method? Are you trying to amuse a kid?" Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but recall that smug kid who had a somewhat cheeky smile.

She felt that Lu Mingfei was like a completely different person, as if she had lived through another world, while Lu Mingfei felt even more like he had lived through another world than they did.

When he left school last time, he only had a little over 100,000 yuan on him, and he had four soldiers under his command, including Panpan.

A month later, when he returned to campus, his assets were enough to compete for a spot on the rich list. He had thousands of subordinates and two major business projects were progressing smoothly.

How could Lu Mingfei not remain calm and composed? The fact that he didn't publicize his strength to the world is a testament to his remarkable composure, a result of the system's established habits and inertia.

"System, it seems like my mindset has changed," he said to the system.

This should be called a "sense of superiority," such as feeling that the other person is no longer on your level...

Upon seeing the system's analysis, Lu Mingfei's lips twitched. "Well said. Don't say that again next time."

The system's brief analysis exposed his true colors, shattering his composure in an instant... It was as if the majestic Marshal Tianpeng had been kicked down from Heaven and reborn as a pig in the mortal realm.

The aloofness instantly turns into vulgarity and stench, and the sense of class is completely lost.

He was, after all, just a mortal… Lu Mingfei stroked his chin, but if the system hadn't exposed him, this blissful feeling wouldn't have been so bad. Fortunately, his habitual inertia remained, and he hardly revealed that sense of superiority, otherwise, he might have been somewhat annoying.

Shocking! My seemingly ordinary but academically gifted classmate is actually secretly saving the world!

"I Chose a Simple Life After Saving the World"

Shocking! This high school student is an amazing hider!

The academic pressure on the first day of school was not high, and Lu Mingfei was able to keep up with the pace without the system hosting.

However, his concentration and learning efficiency are still somewhat inferior to those of the system-managed learning system. For example, the system's learning efficiency is 98%, which is stable and has very little fluctuation, while his can only reach about 90% at most, and it is not stable.

When it comes to focusing intently on this point, the system can crush everyone else.

Something seems off. Xia Mi is also a ruthless person, and her learning efficiency should be close to the biological limit. I just don't know if it's stable.

During the break, the atmosphere in the classroom became lively again. Chen Wenwen didn't move around, but instead took out a Western classic, "Love Story," and sat quietly in her seat to read it.

Lu Mingfei glanced at her consistent style and asked, "System, what should we call Chen Wenwen's style?"

[...Judging from the taste and style of the books she reads, she should be considered "petit bourgeois," if...]

It is extremely difficult to make a standard definition of a person. Even with powerful computing capabilities and an objective perspective, a system will not easily define a person. Generally, it will only analyze a person's style and preferences.

Petty bourgeoisie?

Lu Mingfei remembered that this thing referred to the petty bourgeoisie, but the word should be slightly derogatory. They didn't qualify as the big capitalist class and could be turned into proletariat by big capital at any time, but their interests were on the side of capital. They were not the same type as the middle class who earned high salaries through technical and management positions.

Chen Wenwen, with her bourgeois style, was the easiest woman for the system to win over. Her tendency to be superior was too obvious, leaving too many flaws. If Xia Mi hadn't suddenly appeared, Lu Mingfei would be... because Xia Mi was unyielding and wouldn't listen to reason.

The system's comment that Chen Wenwen is "petit bourgeois" is not meant to belittle her, because the system doesn't idly belittle others to gain a sense of superiority.

The day's classes were uneventful, seemingly no different from the classes Lu Mingfei had before he slew the dragon.

After school, Lu Mingfei didn't go straight home. Instead, he went to the laboratory in the suburbs to check on Lao Tang's progress.

……

"elder brother……"

"Why are you here again! Stop bothering me, this relationship will never work out!"

"But... brother, I'm leaving now..." The child who made the sound in the darkness seemed to have really gone far away.

He felt a pang of pity. "Never mind, where do you live? I'll take you home!"

"Really? Brother." The child hadn't gone far at all!

"Hold!"

That damn "brother" is still chasing me! Old Tang suddenly woke up from his dream, threw off the covers and sat up, only to find that he was covered in sweat.

However, the air conditioner in the room had already lowered the temperature to 16 degrees Celsius, which was even a bit chilly, instantly giving him goosebumps despite his short-sleeved shirt.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and muttered to himself, "This blanket keeps the heat so well?"

As for the voice of that little brat brother in his dream, sometimes he felt like he had encountered a ghost, because it wasn't the first time he had dreamed of it; that voice seemed to have haunted him since he was a child.

However, the voice is not quite the same as a ghost, because the intervals between its appearances are always very long. It might appear once or twice a year for several years in a row, or it might only appear once every two or three years.

He was born in an American orphanage and couldn't afford to see a psychologist, but he didn't need to either. After all, something that only happened once a year or even every few years didn't have any impact on his actual life.

The turmoil in my heart gradually subsided.

Every time he woke up from his dream, Old Tang felt as if he were rising from the throne. The exhilaration of sitting on the throne and ruling the world gradually faded as he left the throne.

He was dreaming of a little kid who was chasing after him and calling him "Brother, Brother!", but in the dream he always felt as if he had the power and status to rule the world.

"How strange. After Boss Lu pays out the bonus, maybe I should see a psychologist? I wonder if Boss Lu has any recommendations. He probably has. How could a rich man like me not care about his mental and physical health..." Old Tang muttered to himself as he changed his shoes and put on his coat, continuing to devise the $500 million alchemical matrix.

Back at the lab bench, his assistants continued with the instructions he had given before going to sleep. He could sleep, but the experiments couldn't stop; after all, it was all about money!

Fortunately, he was also a genius. The difficulties and doubts in alchemy did not pose any obstacle to him. Even though he had just come into contact with this stuff, he was able to understand it.

While others start learning math methodically, beginning with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, he's already a pro, tackling linear and quadratic equations in one variable. But even that can't stop him...

"Boss, the built-in design and construction of the driver source is complete, but the driver source placed inside the hybrid's body seems to be somewhat... useless?" the assistant said to Old Tang in English.

To this mixed-race assistant, this was a very puzzling matter.

Since the alchemical matrix can be driven by the dragon blood in the hybrid's body, and since the hybrid has its own battery, why consider driving it through an external battery?

Old Tang glanced at the rather pretty Japanese woman, but his eyes showed no lust for her beauty; all he had was a thirst for the $500 million.

He said bluntly, "I'm telling you, just do it. Don't worry about this or that. That's not your business."

"Hai!"

In Lao Tang's opinion, these people were quite dull-witted, not even comparable to Boss Lu, let alone that little brat Panpan.

There are no effective ideas; we have to find the right method through trial and error.

If it weren't for Boss Lu occasionally coming over to check on things and offer assistance, he felt that at least a thousand people would be needed to keep up with his demand.

The lab door opened, and the system walked in. "How did it go?"

Old Tang picked up the alchemy matrix plan, which had been revised several times in the past few days, and said, "The plan has been set up. Now we just need to put it into practice, continuously optimize the plan, and conduct actual experiments to verify it, so as to achieve the desired effect."

"Let me see."

The system took the design drawings and silently absorbed the essence of the design.

Many of these designs are not found in books; they were all devised and designed by Lao Tang himself through hard work, and then his subordinates tested and verified them one by one.

After working on it for several days, we finally came up with a preliminary plan. As long as the preliminary plan works in the experiment, we can continue to optimize it based on this idea.

Have you applied for the experimental materials?

"It's already being shipped over."

The Demon Lords have captured quite a few of the evil spirits, including Genji. The system didn't manage to destroy them all during previous experiments, so they can still be used by Old Tang.

Considering that Lao Tang was an ordinary person, and one who hadn't seen much of the big scenes or bloodshed, the system told him, "Don't feel guilty about the experimental subjects. The things these people have done are enough to warrant being shot ten times over in court. They're veritable demons. Killing them directly would be such a waste..."

“I know,” Old Tang nodded.

But looking at this hunched-over young man, the system was still uneasy. Didn't Lu Mingfei know that these people were guilty of heinous crimes? Didn't he still find it cruel?

If killing one's own kind does not bring joy or excitement, there is a high probability of feeling guilty, which will eventually lead to internal conflict.

So the system said, "How about I have someone hypnotize you? So that you have no psychological burden about this, and even hate them?"

"Um……"

Old Tang hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

After explaining this, the system had also broken down the design on the blueprint to a considerable extent, but the system analysis had not fully analyzed all the matrix intentions of this alchemical matrix design blueprint.

Many of the things were conceived by Lao Tang himself, things he hadn't learned before, and they were quite difficult, even a bit beyond the scope of the system.

The system then discussed his design philosophy with Lao Tang.

The two discussed for over two hours, with Old Tang revealing his entire design ideas, while the system fell silent: "Hmm..."

"What's wrong?" Old Tang asked.

"I feel there's another optimization approach." The system analysis revealed something... a bit strange?

"What idea?"

Old Tang valued his boss's words quite a bit, not entirely because of the $500 million bonus, but because the boss really had some skills, even if those skills were lacking.

Lu Mingfei looked at the system's analysis logs with some astonishment.

Because what the system was discussing with Old Tang was... a small formula from "The Origins of Alchemy".

Old Tang has already figured out the basic form of this formula...

If humanity were to venture beyond Earth and establish communication with other planets, what would be the most similar feature between those two planets?

Language? There are over ten thousand languages ​​in the world, and in China, there is a saying that the pronunciation can vary even within ten miles.

Development path? There is more than one way to climb the mountain. As long as you have enough strength, you can still reach the top.

Physical constitution? Who says aliens have to be carbon-based organisms?
