Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 65

Lu Mingfei's attempts to improve the alchemical matrix cannot be separated from feeding it with more materials.

Although the alchemical matrix on Sakurai Akira's body helped him suppress the dragon blood, it actually had a flaw. The proportion of his dragon blood was greatly compressed, dropping from the original special A level to the ordinary A level.

After perfecting this aspect, there is still room for further improvement.

Special alchemical items can be inscribed with characteristic matrices or special incantations. Based on previous speculation, perhaps if we go further down this path, we can create a human dragon!

Like pure-blooded dragons, they possess corresponding levels of all-elemental incantations!

Of course, it's still a long way off to talk about this now, as the experimental materials haven't even arrived yet; we've only taken the first step towards success.

Erii obediently sat in the room being handled by Natsumi, who not only cut and dyed her hair, but also applied a bunch of physical makeup tools such as transparent eyelash stickers.

When Lu Mingfei came in, he was taken aback to see that Erii, the originally innocent girl with an oval face, had been transformed into a heavily made-up, V-shaped face.

If they hadn't been certain that no one else had entered the room, and that only Uesugi Erii and Natsumi were there, they might have thought a stranger had come in.

Sakurai Akira and Chu Zihang weren't too surprised. Because of their financial resources, they were able to watch Xia Mi learn makeup.

They watched in disbelief as the woman, who was quite attractive, suddenly became drastically different after removing her makeup; she was the kind of person who wouldn't even get a second glance in a crowd...

"How was that?" Xia Mi clapped her hands triumphantly.

"Impressive, you'd never guess this is the head of the Uesugi family."

Lu Mingfei was amazed. Was this the allure of makeup? No wonder women, once they started using makeup, couldn't stop. No wonder the system used bare-faced appearance as the standard for judging beauty...

Erii's eyes widened, filled with excitement.

If she goes out like this, who would recognize her? Then she can play freely and happily.

"Eri, have you learned how to do makeup like this?" Lu Mingfei asked her.

Erii shook her head and wrote in a rustling voice, "When Natsumi was doing my makeup just now, I had to close my eyes for part of it."

"What's wrong?" Xia Mi asked, somewhat puzzled as to why Lu Mingfei was asking such a question.

Will Erii be alright? It's better if she's alright, then she'll have no choice but to stay with them.

Isn't this good? It allows us to keep the head of the Uesugi family firmly in our hands.

“You need to go with Sakurai Akira and the others to the Aoyama Charity School to make the arrangements,” Lu Mingfei said.

"Oh." Xia Mi nodded and said, "Then I'll take it off. Erii, you can try it on yourself first."

Erika nodded.

Then Lu Mingfei saw Xia Mi disassemble Erii's face like taking parts, removing more than a dozen items: a fake nose, hair tape, face stickers...

"Damn, the drop rate of someone else's punch is probably even higher than that of a legendary item?" Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

After taking off her clothes, Natsumi let Erii try on the clothes herself.

Erii learned most of it and successfully transformed herself.

"As smart as me, that's about right." Xia Mi gave her a thumbs up, then turned to Lu Mingfei and asked, "When do we leave?"

"Now you can."

……

After Chu Zihang, Xia Mi, and Sakurai Akira left, only Erii and Lu Mingfei remained in the room, along with the large bed that had been split in two.

Erii adjusted her own makeup and had a lot of fun doing it herself.

The system is analyzing when to take Erii out for a stroll first, and then discuss the matter of bloodline with her upon their return.

It's still necessary to take her out for a stroll before engaging in deeper conversations; even scammers need to give people a taste of success first.

After going out and having fun, Erii will naturally have more confidence in herself.

As for her travel plans, Erii had already made them. She planned to spend two days exploring the area around Tokyo before heading to places outside of Tokyo, such as Hokkaido…

Her plan was to stay away for a week before going back.

I took Erii out this morning, and because she spent some time getting ready with makeup, it's already afternoon now.

Erii, having had enough fun, finally remembered she wanted to go out for a stroll. She wrote a message to Lu Mingfei: "When are we going out to play?"

"You can do it now if you want."

"Now then?"

"it is good."

After instructing the hotel staff not to enter his room without permission, the two walked out of the hotel. Erii, who was walking freely on the street for the first time, looked excited but also a little cautious.

She also knew that her brother and the others were searching for her all over the city.

"I suddenly remembered something," the system said. "What if your brother and the others figure out your plan?"

Will her brothers figure out her plan? Erii pondered for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.

Her plan was nothing more than to break into someone's house and then travel around to see the world. Her brothers might not have been unaware of this.

"Then we need to be careful," the system said. "If someone familiar with your figure sees it, they'll notice and become suspicious, which could lead to them questioning you..."

Erii would definitely not be able to withstand questioning, and might even pretend to be mute because she can't speak. If they communicate by writing, their handwriting would be half-dead if they compared handwriting...

Lu Mingfei couldn't stand it anymore. The system was trying to trick the half-mad girl again. It wanted to tell her that they should pretend to be a couple, holding hands and walking side by side, so that the people of the Snake Clan wouldn't be too suspicious of them because of their stereotypes.

So Lu Mingfei gave the order to delete Uesugi Erii from the task listed in 1.()... Deleting her directly wouldn't work either, because if she was deleted, the system would probably have a completely different attitude towards this half-mad girl.

Lu Mingfei felt pity for this infatuated girl... well, half-infatuated girl. The thought of such a beautiful and lovely girl being trained as a weapon...

The system ruthlessly analyzed Lu Mingfei's psychology: [[...The host was only lustful at first sight, but felt guilty about it...]]

“Emmm…” The system’s blunt analysis left Lu Mingfei speechless for a moment. Then he said, “But didn’t the system tell me to be a human?”

...Because absolute calmness and rationality do not equate to absolute correctness. Both emotion and reason are intertwined...In this society, no individual can control everything...

The system continued to calmly and objectively present its viewpoint.

Chapter 103 The Naive Uesugi Clan Head (Please follow me, don't raise him yet)

Lu Mingfei's debate with the system didn't stop Erii from watching him curiously, wanting to hear what he would say next to solve the problem of facing the gazes of acquaintances.

However, the system is not trying to determine a winner with Lu Mingfei; it is simply presenting the problem, and whether Lu Mingfei accepts it or not is none of the system's business.

Lu Mingfei came online and, facing Erii's expectant gaze, asked, "Do you know about matching outfits?"

Erii shook her head; she didn't even know what "couple" meant.

"It's just that two people in love want to show off..." Lu Mingfei still decided to follow the system's method, because it would likely avoid trouble.

However, making it clear beforehand is different from abducting a semi-mentally challenged girl and making physical contact with her.

Having watched nature documentaries, Lu Mingfei knows that animals don't develop estrus because they are aware of it; rather, the existence of estrus leads to this awareness... People who don't understand this might mistake physical arousal for true love...

After I explained to Erii what love was and such, she nodded blankly.

“If I were to be with you as a couple, it would greatly reduce their suspicions, because your brother and the others wouldn’t think you’ve found a boyfriend so quickly.”

Erii nodded in response to Lu Mingfei's words and wrote, "Erii understands."

So the two went to a clothing store and bought a matching jacket, but they didn't hold hands; they just walked a little closer together.

After changing into matching outfits, it was getting dark outside. Erii wrote, "Let's go see the Sky Tree first."

“Okay.” Lu Mingfei nodded and drove towards Tokyo Broadcasting Tower.

Because of the distance, it was already dark when we arrived by car, and the lights of Tokyo Broadcasting Tower were on.

Erii sat in the car, her eyes wide as she gazed at the dazzling landmark building in Tokyo.

“You can get off the bus and take a look,” Lu Mingfei said. “Would you like to go up and have a look? I booked tickets at noon.”

At noon, I saw that Erii's destination included Tokyo Tower, so I booked tickets for the evening through the system.

When it comes to getting things done, the system is incredibly meticulous.

Erii happily wrote, "Okay!"

She clearly felt great about being able to go up to the Sky Tree.

She actually wanted to buy a camera to document the trip, but taking photos might reveal some location issues and expose Lu Mingfei, so she had to give up and didn't mention it.

So the two of them lined up and went up to the observation deck.

This time, the entire Tokyo nightscape was truly laid out before us, a modern metropolis illuminated by lights, showcasing the pinnacle of human extravagance and decadence.

"Have you been here before?" Lu Mingfei asked her.

Erii shook her head, but didn't take out her notebook. Exchanging notes in a notebook was too conspicuous, so it was best not to take it out if possible.

"how do you feel?"

Lu Mingfei thought of the Oriental Pearl Tower. The Oriental Pearl Tower also has an observation deck open to the public. He and Xia Mi had been up there and seen the night view of the entire city of Shanghai.

Lu Mingfei didn't know which of the two big cities was better; he wasn't sensitive to these things.

Erii nodded happily.

Although the heavy makeup made her face lose some of its natural charm, she adjusted it herself to reduce the technological traces of the makeup, and her smile was still bright and beautiful enough.

The two then went to a restaurant for a meal.

“I heard that the Tokyo government is planning to build a new, taller radio tower.” Lu Mingfei shared some news he had inadvertently seen with Erii, saying, “It will be taller than this one, but it won’t be built here. Instead, it will be built in Sumida Ward, closer to Senso-ji Temple.”

Erii nodded upon hearing his words, then wrote, "We'll go to Ginza later."

Lu Mingfei said, "Okay."

I don't know if it's because of the equipment on her face, or if Erii has heard about proper dining etiquette, but she eats slowly and gracefully, quite elegantly.

Lu Mingfei thought that as the head of the Uesugi family, she would definitely have to attend some important occasions of the Snake-Headed Eight Families. Although she might not have the right to make decisions or offer suggestions, she still had to maintain appearances.

So the Snake Clan will teach this weapon, appearance, demeanor and etiquette.

Only teach what you can use, and completely ignore what you can't use... Doesn't that sound a bit like a system?

In fact, Lu Mingfei didn't know why he was so interested in this girl.

The system's claim of being attracted to beauty is partly true. Erii's base appearance score of 8.7 is quite impressive, but Su Enxi and the others are not bad either. He felt that he didn't care about them as much as he did about Erii.

Perhaps it was because she seemed both cute and pitiful? Having lived in the intensive care unit for so long, almost never leaving the Hebiki Hachike family's sight, coupled with their attitude towards her…
