Slaying a dragon is already extremely difficult, let alone obtaining a live dragon for research.
"At the very least, we can get information about living dragons from Kassel College and the Secret Service, right?" Su Enxi said, "Boss Lu, what is your plan targeting the Secret Service and Kassel College?"
"I'm planning to send Chu Zihang to Kassel College for further studies. Perhaps this will allow Chu Zihang to get a feel for Kassel College, or see if Kassel College has any powerful weapons."
"Is it enough to just send Chu Zihang there for further studies? It doesn't seem like that's enough."
What else? Should we really fight the Secret Service and Kassel?
Chapter 230 The Dragon King Beside Me
"No, Sister Su, we're just going to check out Kassel College, not to start a war. Chu Zihang is enough."
“That’s true.” Su Enxi agreed, then said, “I’ll research where Kassel College and the Secret Party’s mysterious places are later. You can have Chu Zihang explore them. By the way, Kassel College ranks students by bloodline. The treatment of S-level students is completely different from that of ordinary A-level students. Can Chu Zihang’s bloodline level assessment really help him pass these tests smoothly?”
"No, we're not sisters. We're working secretly. If we had a legitimate identity, would we need to be sneaky? What's wrong with you today...?"
Lu Mingfei was somewhat puzzled, feeling that Su Enxi today seemed like a completely different person from before, throwing out one question after another, and no matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like the Su Enxi of the past would say such things.
Su Enxi said, "Um... perhaps you're not aware of the security level at Kassel College. Kassel College has already achieved information modernization. Many things can't be solved by sneaking around. You still can't get rid of an open and aboveboard identity. Otherwise, I would have just let Mai go in directly. There would be no need for you to take action, Mr. Lu."
Lu Mingfei suddenly realized, "Oh, is that so? Chu Zihang's bloodline level should be above A, but whether he can reach the S-level assessment standard depends on how Kassel College assesses bloodline levels. But in general, his status is definitely higher than that of ordinary A-level students. However... he went to Kassel College to study as an advanced student, so I don't know if there is any difference between advanced students and regular students at Kassel College."
Su Enxi pondered for a moment and said, "There shouldn't be that difference, right? After all, if the discrimination is too obvious, who would send someone to Kassel College for further studies? Kassel College will definitely give them the necessary status. After all, Kassel College might even be able to recruit some mixed-race individuals from other mixed-race organizations."
"If that's the case, then that's good."
"..."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Mingfei had settled things with all three parties involved, and now all that was left was to wait for Chu Zihang to enroll at Kassel College.
But what Boss Su Enxi had in her hands... Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment, and then without hesitation, he called out the little devil.
"Lu Mingze."
"To!"
Lu Mingze immediately stood up straight and reported loudly.
Lu Mingfei was startled when he heard him report, as it was indeed very loud.
Lu Mingze shuddered at the sight of his body and couldn't help but smile, asking, "What's wrong, brother?"
Lu Mingfei said irritably, "I heard from Su Enxi that their boss has something used to study the differences between ordinary dragons and dragon kings..."
Lu Mingze simply shrugged, "Brother, are you so sure I'm their boss?"
Lu Mingfei said, "What else? Their boss is obviously not simple. I wonder which dragon king he is. Besides you, I can't think of any other dragon king level who could discover my problem. And if such a dragon king really comes to me, you should be very happy. After all, a dragon king delivered to my door for free. I don't even have to go out and look for him."
"Ha ha……"
Hearing Lu Mingfei's words, Lu Mingze smiled but remained silent.
Who said no one else besides themselves could see Lu Mingfei's problem? It just goes to show that ignorance is bliss; it's good that my brother is completely unaware of this...
"Hmm?" When Lu Mingfei saw the smile on his face, he immediately felt something was wrong and sensed something unusual.
"What are you laughing at? Could it be that another dragon king has already discovered my problem?"
“I didn’t say that. It was all you who said it, brother. I didn’t say a single word.”
Lu Mingfei's expression turned serious, and then he immediately thought of Norton, asking, "Really? Norton on Old Tang's person?"
"No comment." Lu Mingze shrugged. "Many things become ineffective if I say them, especially since you don't fully trust me, brother. If you can't act directly, your suspicion will alert the other side, which is no different from simply sending them to their death."
"Holy crap? Really?!" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but swear. "Who is it?"
I can't make a move right away. My suspicions will alert the other party. Why does this sound like it's happening right next to me?
A dragon king following him? The thought sent a chill down Lu Mingfei's spine, and he inexplicably thought of Louis XVI—completely baffled.
He had already witnessed the power of the Dragon King. What difference did it make if such a thing was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head?
Lu Mingze didn't give a direct answer, but instead asked, "Brother, what do you think?"
"I only have so many people around me... well... actually, there are quite a few, I can't guess."
Lu Mingfei instantly recalled the people around him and realized that there were quite a few people who had been in close contact with him.
The system immediately reverse-engineered and analyzed the people around Lu Mingfei, but couldn't find where the problem lay.
After all, the people around him weren't particularly outstanding or particularly eccentric—mainly because there was no direct evidence to suggest that anyone around him was the Dragon King.
The people around Lu Mingfei can be divided into three periods: one is before the system appeared and he came into contact with the Dragon Clan world, one is after the system appeared and he came into contact with the Dragon Clan world, and the other is the people he brought back after his trip to Japan. These are the three main types of people.
If you force yourself to doubt, you'd have to doubt everyone around you. How can you possibly doubt everyone?
Lu Mingfei could simply run away from Binhai, but nowhere felt safe unless he completely cut off all contact with everyone and became utterly isolated from the world.
[...If Lu Mingze truly cared about the host, he shouldn't just stand by and watch a dragon lurk beside the host, waiting for its chance to strike. If Lu Mingze is allowed to turn a blind eye like this, it's highly likely that the dragon can't pose a threat to the host?...]
【……? ……】
[...Are there any weak Dragon Kings among them? The host's current combat strength isn't particularly high. If a normal second-generation or third-generation Dragon King comes along, unless it has any obvious direct weaknesses, the host would probably have to run away as soon as possible. There's absolutely no way the host could fight...]
While the system and Lu Mingfei were guessing, Lu Mingze said, "It's right that you can't guess. Humans have brains, and dragons have brains too. Given the physical attributes of dragons, it's quite rare for a stupid dragon to appear. So the other party must be able to hide it very well, and even completely integrate into human life, so that no one can tell at all."
Lu Mingfei glanced at the system's analysis and said, "You're so confident that the dragon is lurking around me? Is the dragon harmless? Or does it get along well with humans? A traitorous dragon?"
Lu Mingze said, "It's not that the dragon is harmless. I'm quite familiar with it, so I know for sure that it will never harm you, brother. It's harmless to you."
"There's such a saying?" Lu Mingfei and the system began to ponder and analyze.
Harmless to Lu Mingfei? Why would it be harmless to Lu Mingfei? Could it be that the other party can't defeat Lu Mingfei? How weak must that dragon king be...? Or is it a fake dragon king?
Or is it that the dragon and Lu Mingfei have a very deep bond? So the dragon won't directly harm Lu Mingfei?
“Brother, stop thinking about it. Your doubts could easily harm the people around you. That dragon isn’t a big problem for you. You might as well focus your attention on other dragon runes.”
“Hmm…” Lu Mingfei said, “Listen to this yourself. Do you really think you can feel at ease knowing this half-hidden information? You know everything and are quite familiar with that dragon, but I know nothing about it. I wouldn’t understand if you hadn’t told me. You might as well not have told me this information at all, otherwise it would be difficult for me to hide my suspicions about the people around me.”
Lu Mingze sighed, "So, I was wrong to be honest...sigh..."
Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes: "Your honesty is pretty fake. You're only telling me now. It's obvious you're trying to cause trouble. Did that dragon offend you? Is that why you're revealing it now?"
Lu Mingze is a cunning guy, always claiming to be doing things for your own good, but his actions... well, he'll actually sell you out, and you'll be the one counting the money for him.
If Lu Mingfei had no ability to resist, he would have been helping Lu Mingfei count his money. But Lu Mingfei does have the ability! His success today is entirely due to the system's support.
The system wholeheartedly assisted him, which was equivalent to him, so it was equivalent to Lu Mingfei taking off.
“There are indeed some other factors involved, which is why I’m only telling you now, brother.” Lu Mingze didn’t deny this fact, but said with a smile, “But I’ve certainly put in a lot of effort, even if I haven’t done anything particularly meritorious. Brother, you don’t need to slander me like this, do you? Have you ever studied the theory of united front work?”
“I’ve studied it.” Lu Mingfei nodded.
"Then we shouldn't be enemies anymore. At least we can fight together as allies for a period of time, working together with one heart and one mind, right?"
Lu Mingze frankly said, "To be honest, if it weren't for that dirty thing on you, things might not have been so complicated in the first place. Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes."
"That's because you're too weak." Lu Mingfei shook his head and retorted to the system's analysis, "You can't even add this little bit of variable. Your plan is as fragile as paper, it'll break at the slightest touch."
“Hehe…” Lu Mingze chuckled and shrugged.
If the enemy could see and touch it, there wouldn't be so much trouble. But the filth on his brother's body was just too... well, it was a bit outrageous. Because it was too unknown, Lu Mingze was held back.
"Brother, whatever you say goes. But if you truly grow under that filthy thing's tutelage, then I'd be more than happy to see it. I'm just afraid that you won't learn anything from that filthy thing. From beginning to end, all those things came from that filthy thing..."
Lu Mingze shook his head and changed the subject, saying, "There's no point in talking about this now. Let's continue discussing the Dragon King and take out the enemies we can see first."
Lu Mingfei shrugged, looking completely innocent, and said, "Which Dragon King have we taken down? Bronze and Fire have already captured one, and the other is inside Old Tang, so he probably can't do anything about it anytime soon. Odin of Sky and Wind is plotting something, and as for the remaining five unknown Dragon Kings, I don't even know if they're male or female. I have absolutely no information. You're one of the few sources of accurate information I have, yet you're still messing around with me..."
"Stop, stop, stop, let's not discuss this." Lu Mingze interrupted Lu Mingfei, saying, "It's not impossible for me to just pull out something good, but I need to see real growth in you, brother."
"Does the growth from a boy to a man count?" Lu Mingfei immediately blurted out the easiest type of growth.
"Um... Brother, you're really joking."
“Then there’s nothing I can do.” Lu Mingfei spread his hands. “I don’t even know what you mean by growth. A lot of so-called growth is just seeing more things in life, fully understanding the world, and then finding something to do, whether it’s making a living or something else… But a lot of growth is meaningless to me, and can’t even be called growth.”
"Yes, your so-called growth is indeed correct, but brother, don't forget that true growth always begins with independence."
Lu Mingze said, "Let me give you an example, brother. If it weren't for that dirty thing that suddenly appeared on you, brother, you would have gotten to know Old Tang in StarCraft, and you two would have become good friends very quickly. You know Old Tang has a very easygoing personality, so under normal circumstances, you two should have become good friends very quickly..."
Lu Mingfei understood what he was going to say: "And then my best friend turned into a dragon king? I have to kill the dragon king and save the world?"
"Hmm, brother, what will you do?"
Without hesitation, Lu Mingfei said, "I will personally kill the Dragon King and send my good friend on his final journey."
“Hehe…” Lu Mingze chuckled. “Brother, actually our relationship isn’t that simple. I can sense many of your feelings. When you truly care about someone, you unleash a strong emotion, and I can genuinely capture that emotion. That’s why there’s a special bond between you and me.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei immediately felt guilty. His decisive words just now were entirely based on the system's analysis...
It turns out that this little devil's relationship with me wasn't so simple; it could actually sense my emotions.
He was definitely not the kind of person who liked making choices. When faced with a dilemma of not being able to betray either Buddha or his beloved, or of being unable to balance loyalty and filial piety, he preferred to send himself to the guillotine to resolve the matter.
Chapter 231 An Impure Brotherly Conflict
Lu Mingze sighed and said, "Brother, you have done a lot in just one year. If you had done it yourself, I would be happy to see a new king of an era rise. But for you, it was more like forcing growth. You never completely changed your personality or allowed yourself to grow."
"Where would you find that! There's no standard quantification for this kind of thing, how could you possibly perceive it so clearly?"
Lu Mingfei doesn't need the system to log in directly, but he can directly use the system's analysis to refute Lu Mingze.
After all, judging from what the other party said, it seems that if he grows up to be very powerful, this little devil will give him something!
Is there anything more profitable than getting something you can just by talking?
The price-performance ratio is absolutely off the charts; missing this opportunity would be a huge loss.
Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, then continued, "And most importantly, I still have many doubts about you. Why should I completely trust you?"
They say they want to discuss the issue of growing up, but in reality...
The system believes that simply debating whether or not someone is growing is useless; one must step outside of that question and look at the problem from a different perspective in order to find a way to impress Lu Mingze.
Just like learning math, when a teacher teaches you that one plus one equals two, it's not just to make you understand that one plus one equals two, but most importantly, to make you understand addition. Otherwise, simply memorizing the answer by rote is completely useless.
"Hehe..." Lu Mingze chuckled, his expression helpless. He said, "If you can truly grow up, you'll understand what our relationship really is. If you never grow up, then our relationship is irrelevant. I have no choice but to die with you."
"Let's go back to the question of growth. Growth is indeed a question without a standard definition or answer. But everyone's growth is different. For ordinary people, being able to support their families and understand some things in life is already considered growing up. But if you put this kind of growth on an emperor or a ruling leader, the growth and personality of an ordinary person are obviously not enough. If you go any higher... that's a whole different world. But brother, you haven't even reached the level of supporting your family yet."
Lu Mingze shook his head, unwilling to continue the conversation.
