In a small city with a population of over a million, seven dangerous hybrids appeared in just a few days. The data was even more exaggerated than that of cities with a population of tens of millions, which forced them and their superiors to take it seriously. So he did not lie to his subordinates about this.
"Boss, there are currently no clues pointing to the source of this matter."
"Then continue the investigation. I'll send more people to you."
"Roger that!"
Chapter 63 People say Luoyang is a riot of color, but I came at the wrong time.
Watching the village rain cool down and easily chop the kitchen cutting board in half, the little boy, who had been secretly watching like a mouse, frowned deeply.
I now possess the intermediate-level metal alchemy ability to alter the form and properties of metals according to one's own will.
Features have been added.
Who would dare say that Lu Mingfei is a complete novice who has only been learning alchemy for a few days? Even with convenient access like Samadhi Fire or using heaven and earth as a furnace, it's impossible to adapt immediately upon first try.
This rate of progress doesn't seem like that of a beginner; it's more like a master craftsman recalling previous alchemical techniques, remembering a little bit as soon as he flips through the book...
The lack of further outrageous progress is likely because his brother hasn't been exposed to more advanced alchemical techniques...
The little boy pondered again, but he could tell that his brother's purpose in forging this Japanese longsword was very similar to the longsword that Chu Zihang's father had.
Giving Chu Zihang such an alchemical longsword would be far more effective in winning people's hearts than paying him a salary...
"Brother, what is your purpose in slaying the dragon? Why did you even think of slaying the dragon?"
The little boy muttered to himself, hoping his brother would slay the dragon, but even more so wanting to know his brother's purpose in doing so.
Given Lu Mingfei's personality, it's quite unexpected that he would embark on the path of dragon slaying. Dreaming of being a hero is one thing, but slaying a dragon is truly a life-or-death gamble. Although most dragon slayers die at the hands of cannon fodder, the abilities his brother has demonstrated suggest he can genuinely slay dragons…
This puzzled the little boy even more. With such abilities, why bother slaying dragons? Wouldn't it be better to just enjoy life?
Keep in mind that Lu Mingfei is only 16 and a half years old. He has just gone from being a penniless young man to achieving financial freedom, and there are so many wonderful things he hasn't yet experienced.
It's not like we've already reached the top of the world and started pursuing the meaning of life...
……
Although the counterfeit Murasame sword has been completed, it cannot be given away so quickly. A reasonable excuse can only be given when Panpan returns.
Lu Mingfei didn't say anything about it. Both he and the system had a clear understanding that they shouldn't show too much of their abnormality before they became powerful.
Unless Lu Mingfei has already dethroned Angers from the throne of the world's number one hybrid, and his Dragon Slaying Company has replaced Kassel College's position, he will be too easily hampered, which will make his rise to power more difficult.
……
At Shilan Middle School, Lu Mingfei's class was very quiet. The students were all studying hard, and the atmosphere was no worse than that of the senior classes.
The students who used to be called Chu Zihang, Xia Mi, or at the very least Zhao Menghua by their teachers have now become Lu Mingfei, who is making a spectacular comeback in their class.
Those who excel in the class all possess some talent, some even geniuses, but that doesn't stop the teachers from encouraging them. A mere "casual" mention is enough, and when they see Lu Mingfei themselves, they'll naturally remember their words…
This led to a situation where, within just a few days, the thought, "If Lu Mingfei can do it, so can we!" began to spread among the students in the class, motivating them to study even harder...
The homeroom teacher was naturally pleased with this, but she still repeatedly emphasized to these competitive geniuses the importance of "balancing work and rest."
During the break, most students remained quiet. Only a few got up to chat with others and relax. The rest either buried themselves in their studies when they saw Lu Mingfei still studying hard, or took the opportunity to daydream and let their minds, which had been under high pressure for the past two days, reset.
Liu Miaomiao looked up from her book, leaned back, and stretched her arms out to relax.
She had been focused on studying for the previous three classes without feeling anything unusual in her body, but now that she relaxed, she suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, especially her mind, and a sense of fatigue arose spontaneously.
She turned her head again to stretch her neck, and at the same time noticed that Lu Mingfei was still studying hard behind her.
She couldn't see his face, but she could almost see his focused gaze as he stared at the book, trying to absorb every bit of knowledge.
Can Lu Mingfei achieve the same level of dominance as Chu Zihang and Xia Mi?
She couldn't help but have this question in her mind.
If it were a few months ago, and someone told her that she would one day compare Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei to each other in the same grade, she probably would have just smiled politely and not expressed any opinion... After all, they have been classmates for so many years. Chu Zihang has always been a prominent figure at Shilan Middle School, while Lu Mingfei is probably still playing games in some internet cafe. The two are simply incomparable.
Even she couldn't help but compare Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang at this moment.
If the stereotypes from the past four years are removed, and if Lu Mingfei can continue to suppress Zhao Menghua in the final exams and even show a significant lead, then in some aspects Lu Mingfei might actually be comparable to Chu Zihang...
The main problem is that Lu Mingfei isn't handsome enough... But maybe he'll improve his grades? If he can compete with Xia Mi from the first year of high school, perhaps he can make up for his slight disadvantage in looks...
No, Lu Mingfei's own advantages are also obvious. Chu Zihang comes from a wealthy family, while Lu Mingfei is forced to keep a low profile because of his uncle and aunt. But Lu Mingfei has an advantage that Chu Zihang doesn't: he carved out his own path through sheer ability. While others are born into wealth or power, Lu Mingfei is a self-made millionaire...
Liu Miaomiao spaced out, and as she thought about it, she suddenly recalled her stereotypical image of Lu Mingfei from the past four years.
But the stereotypical image of Lu Mingfei in her mind has gradually faded, replaced by a new Lu Mingfei who is unstoppable and forging ahead triumphantly...
Some say that human memory is like a cassette tape; as time goes by, the picture and sound quality will inevitably become distorted.
Having failed to discern Lu Mingfei's true nature for four years, her attempt to extract the current qualities and momentum Lu Mingfei had displayed from past memories was predictably doomed to failure.
I only remember that Lu Mingfei did have some literary talent, but there are many people with literary talent, but not many who can convert it into tens of thousands a month.
Actually, Lu Mingfei is a really amazing person, it's just a pity I didn't realize it before...
She suddenly remembered a line of poetry: "People say Luoyang is as beautiful as brocade, but I came when spring was not here."
Just when she thought she had seen through Lu Mingfei's true nature, the loser remained silent and simply kept quiet.
Just when everyone thought Lu Mingfei was done for and a consensus was about to be reached, he suddenly stopped acting and delivered a harsh blow to everyone.
Chapter 64 She's Cured?
Su Enxi knocked on Lu Mingfei's door: "Hey, hey, young master Lu, trouble has come. Open the door quickly."
Lu Mingfei, still a little groggy from his afternoon nap, opened the door and asked, "What happened?"
"Let's go inside and talk." Su Enxi walked in and closed the door behind her. "After the official organization wiped out those dangerous hybrids that appeared before, they've now traced it back to Panpan, and they're about to trace it back to us."
"Sit down first." Lu Mingfei suddenly became much more sober when this was mentioned. Panpan was an important pawn. No, why was he starting to objectify others, just like the system?
Su Enxi sat down on the sofa, and he poured her a glass of water before asking, "Can't this matter be overlooked?"
Given Su Enxi's abilities, unless it's a certainty of her to be arrested on the spot, she should be able to pull some strings and get away with it.
Su Enxi shook her head with a serious expression: "There's not enough time. What happened that night caused quite a stir. Panpan has a special identity and disappeared without a trace. They might suspect that the death threats that night were issued by Panpan. We definitely need to conduct a long-term investigation to find her alive or dead. They're not incompetent. I can't do that much detailed work in a short time."
If it weren't for their persistent investigation, Su Enxi could have gotten things done without having to ask Lu Mingfei.
“Hmm…” Lu Mingfei glanced at the analysis on the system’s side.
The system focused on what would happen to Panpan herself: "[...If they're after dangerous hybrids, then what about Panpan's stable bloodline? Are they just going to ignore her...?]"
After looking at the system's analysis, Lu Mingfei thought for a moment before asking, "Hasn't Panpan's bloodline stabilized? They don't really care unless it's a dangerous hybrid that causes trouble, right?"
"Yes, but based on the information they have at hand, they will definitely keep a close watch on her for a period of time to make sure that there is no problem with Panpan's bloodline."
There are many long-term and effective methods to suppress a stable bloodline, but they are expensive. However, there are also many short-term methods to suppress it. A simple blood wash can deal with a few days of random bloodline checks. However, dragon blood is powerful, so blood wash won't last long. Therefore, it is necessary to take Panpan out and monitor her for at least a week.
If Lu Mingfei hadn't cared about the child, Su Enxi could have handled the matter herself. But since Lu Mingfei cared about the child, she had to consult him about her affairs.
Who knows what Lu Mingfei's plans are for this child? What if he ruins his grand scheme?
Upon hearing her say this, Lu Mingfei replied without hesitation, "Then let's bring Panpan back to prove that she's alright."
Previously, Su Enxi's experiment abroad indicated that further observation was needed. It was more like a doctor thinking that two days of medication would be enough, but to be on the safe side, it was better to prescribe five days of medication.
Panpan still needs to go to school and live her life after she comes back. It's impossible for her to keep hiding. It would be better to bring her back so that they can see that Panpan is indeed fine and stop focusing on her.
"Well."
Su Enxi nodded.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to continue my afternoon nap." Following the system's habits, Lu Mingfei showed no lingering affection for the beautiful woman. After arranging Panpan's affairs, he was now so sleepy that all he wanted to do was sleep.
"Nothing."
Good afternoon.
……
After waking up from his afternoon nap, Lu Mingfei went to school and logged into the system to begin his quiet study.
In the English teacher's class, most people listened attentively, while a small number of people did not listen to what the teacher was saying. It wasn't that they were not paying attention or were daydreaming, but rather that listening to the teacher would affect their self-study progress.
Students like Lu Mingfei, Zhao Menghua, and Su Xiaoqiang are examples. Under the system's management, Lu Mingfei's English has surpassed the class's pace; Zhao Menghua has a private English tutor; and Su Xiaoqiang spent a year in the United States during junior high school…
"Knock knock!" A knock sounded on the door, and the English teacher stopped lecturing. The students all looked towards the door in a flurry of activity.
The homeroom teacher stood at the door with two men in black, and said apologetically to the English teacher, "Ah Qing, I'm sorry to interrupt your class."
"What's wrong?" The English teacher looked at the man in black behind him, who stood ramrod straight and had a similar air about him to her husband, who was a military officer.
"Looking for Lu Mingfei." The homeroom teacher said as he entered the room, "Lu Mingfei, come out for a moment."
Upon hearing the host's name, the system, immersed in a sea of knowledge, immediately looked up and stood up.
"Come here, someone's looking for you." The troupe leader waved to Ren.
The system walked over and looked at the two men in black with some suspicion. It could tell that these two men had an unusual air about them, and it analyzed that they might be the people Su Enxi had mentioned...
As soon as Lu Mingfei left with the homeroom teacher and the two men in black, the once quiet classroom became a little noisy.
"Looking for Lu Mingfei?"
"Probably? But his demeanor doesn't seem like that of an ordinary person."
"Lu Mingfei got into trouble? Could it be the police?" Someone was secretly pleased. Chu Zihang hadn't fallen from grace, but it wouldn't be bad if Lu Mingfei did.
However, a knowledgeable student immediately refuted this: "Impossible. If it were a serious crime, the police wouldn't need to come all this way to arrest Lu Mingfei. If it were a minor crime, they wouldn't need to come along to save face for the students; the homeroom teacher could just take them..."
"He looks a bit like a bodyguard to me?"
"Me too, he looks just like my uncle who just retired. Damn, Lu Mingfei has become rich again?"
"..."
"Quiet!" The English teacher patted the desk, and the increasingly noisy classroom immediately quieted down.
When Lu Mingfei watched The Matrix, he once fantasized that when he was just an ordinary person, a man in black would come to the campus in a helicopter and ask him to come out of retirement and save the world, shocking a large number of his classmates.
But now the men in black have arrived, not to invite him to save the world in a helicopter, but to invite him for tea...
As soon as Su Enxi lifted the lid, they rushed over to investigate. Back at the police station, after confirming Lu Mingfei and Chu Pandi's personal information, the statement taking began.
Where is Chu Pandi?
