Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 18

“If you don’t mind, you can stay with us. There are other single rooms in the presidential suite,” Su Enxi said.

Under the system's watchful eye, Su Enxi didn't say anything like, "If you mind, I'll book another room for you."

Actually, it would have been quite normal to add such a statement later, since Lu Mingfei is a boy and the three of them are girls, but Su Enxi didn't say it out loud... The system immediately detected this anomaly and began to analyze it in depth.

"Hmm." The system nodded gently, without being foolish enough to say something like, "Isn't it inappropriate to stay with the three of you girls? Or should I go stay in another hotel room?"

Just kidding, Su Enxi and the other two girls are its mission targets, and it's even afraid that Su Enxi will say the last sentence.

Living under the same roof is such a great opportunity to get to know each other and have in-depth exchanges!

"Then you can stay in that room for now." Su Enxi pointed to a room and then said, "If you don't like staying in a hotel, you can buy a house to live in after a while."

"Either is fine." The system nodded gently, showing no doubt about her words.

Based solely on the strength they've demonstrated, they're capable of doing it. Not to mention Su Enxi's Word of Power: Heavenly Evolution ability—it's practically a money-printing machine!

The system just lacks time; otherwise, given some time, it would have made Lu Mingfei a fortune.

"I came in a hurry, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Why don't we go downstairs and have dinner together?" Su Enxi said.

“Okay.” The system readily accepted the suggestion.

At the same time, he was calculating the progress of the three girls on this side and Xia Mi's progress on the other side, while the three golden flowers... were put aside for later.

Chapter 33 The future is promising

The three most beautiful girls in the class were placed at the back of the list not because they were difficult to win over, nor because they ranked low in terms of looks. Rather, it was because they knew about Lu Mingfei's past misery and his dark history. Although Lu Mingfei had undergone significant changes, their old impressions of him still needed time to fade.

Taking action against them before that point would only be counterproductive.

It's only November 20th, and there's still a little over a year, almost two years, before high school graduation. So, those who interacted frequently and were familiar with Lu Mingfei were naturally placed in the lower ranks by the system. You can eat the grass near your nest whenever you want, but you can't keep the passing geese; they'll fly away.

Three women and one man were seated in the luxurious VIP room of the Regent Hotel's restaurant.

Su Enxi opened the menu handed to her by the waiter and said to Lu Mingfei, "Just order whatever you want to eat."

"Ah."

The system nodded and randomly selected a few items. It wasn't in a hurry to increase Lu Mingfei's knowledge and understanding. It was taking a steady and solid approach now, and luxury cars and gourmet meals would come in the future.

The meal was uneventful, mainly because the system didn't say much, so Su Enxi and the others ate quietly.

After dinner, two more suitcases appeared in the presidential suite, containing Lu Mingfei's belongings from his home in Lugu City.

In fact, Lu Mingfei didn't have much stuff there. A few sets of clothes from the last two years, some books, and a little bit of personal belongings were enough to fit everything in two suitcases after cleaning them out.

The system didn't ask about the uncle's family's situation. Since the task had already been handed over to Su Enxi and the others, it no longer cared about the process; it only cared about the result.

Lu Mingfei didn't say anything. What's done is done, there's nothing more to say. Even without Su Enxi's intervention, the system would have gone to challenge them anyway; it would have just been a matter of half a month at most.

I took a shower, changed into my pajamas, and went back to my room to sleep.

The system deciphered the three incantations without stopping until dawn.

[…Dragon Script "Heavenly Evolution", analysis complete!…]

Wisdom comes from deeper thought...

[...When "Heavenly Evolution" is activated, analytical models can be constructed within the mind...]

[…Dragon script “Mingzhao”, analysis complete!…]

[...It glows, but doesn't shine!...]

[...When "Netherworld Illumination" is cast, it creates a small field centered on the caster. Light refracts in a strange way within this field, creating an effect similar to invisibility...]

[…Dragon script “Mirror Eye”, analysis complete!…]

[…If there's one, there will be two!…]

[...When the "Mirror Eye" is activated, it can replicate everything the eye can see...]

Tianyan was sidelined, having little to do with the system, and with its current level of proficiency, its analytical capabilities were not as good as the system's.

Dark Illumination is good, but Mirror Eyes...

"emperor!"

Lu Mingfei whispered directly to start the test.

Then it was discovered that double casting could indeed be performed through the Mirror Eye.

He has now mastered five types of Words of Power: Emperor, Sovereign Flame, Celestial Evolution, Netherworld Illumination, and Mirror Eye. Excluding the two less useful ones, Sovereign Flame, Netherworld Illumination, and Mirror Eye are all quite good Words of Power.

When he thought of what Su Enxi said about the more than one hundred known Words of Power, he felt that the future was promising!

The system also believes the future is promising.

Humans are constantly fighting amongst themselves, and dragons and humans are two completely distinct races. Rather than believing that humans and dragons can join hands to build a better Earth, it's better to believe that the five benevolent people will join forces to fight the dragons.

Lu Mingfei is not a human being, so of course he is saving the human world.

Therefore, the mission to save the world requires eliminating the dragon race, or at least killing several dragon kings. Now that Lu Mingfei can master multiple incantations, it undoubtedly increases the chances of success for this great mission.

After putting on his coat, Lu Mingfei prepared to go to school.

When Su Enxi saw him come out of the living room, she calmly said, "Lu Yuan, the driver is already waiting for you outside the door."

"Okay." Lu Mingfei took two steps forward, then turned back and asked, "What car?"

The system suddenly detected something: if he went to school in a luxury car, it might cause some problems. For example, would people say he was being kept by a rich woman or something? If there were no special circumstances, saying he was being kept would be one thing, but there were four girls waiting for him at school. If they found out he was being kept by a rich woman, it would be troublesome.

Of course, people have mouths to speak, and explanations can certainly make sense, but the system doesn't want to make mistakes.

"That Bentley from last night," Su Enxi said casually.

"Change to another car, keep a low profile," Lu Mingfei requested.

"Then let's just take a taxi. I'll buy a more low-key car this afternoon," Su Enxi said.

“Okay.” Lu Mingfei nodded.

Upon arriving at school, I logged into the system and began studying. The Lu family scandal that erupted yesterday seemed to have subsided considerably today. However, since Lu Mingfei was involved, many people who knew him came to ask him what had happened.

The system didn't say much, seemingly unwilling to discuss family matters in public. It was enough for everyone to know; saying too much would only lead to mistakes and make things worse.

As long as I don't stand up and explain, everyone will think that I, Lu Mingfei, am pure and innocent, yet cruelly persecuted by my uncle and aunt's family, and thus, under Yu Yu's influence, I willingly degenerate...

If the free flow of public opinion doesn't meet expectations, Su Enxi's side should step in. If Su Enxi's side misses a chance, then the system will... give her a reminder.

Fortunately, public opinion is still on Lu Mingfei's side. People in the school feel sorry for him, no wonder he was unlucky before and is now being ignored.

It's said that people from single-parent families often have some problems. Lu Mingfei's parents never came back, and the relatives he stayed with treated him badly—a little better than an orphan, but not by much. He had a million yuan a year, enough to live a life of luxury, but it was all taken away. After deducting tuition and other expenses, less than two-tenths of that came to him each year.

As for Prince Ze, he didn't come to class today. Su Enxi's pressure was suffocating. Fang Yucai chased after Lu Gucheng's family like a dog, biting them. Although some of his words were unprofessional, he understood people's hearts very well.

"Madam, you wouldn't want your husband's job to be affected, would you..."

"If Lu Mingfei goes to the hospital now for a mental evaluation and is diagnosed with some kind of mental illness, his crime of child abuse will be aggravated..."

"..."

Lu Gucheng was, after all, a member of the system. Although he was just an ordinary clerk, he knew how to use magic to defeat magic and went to find a lawyer.

The lawyer glanced at Lu Gucheng's situation, which seemed quite troublesome. He initially asked for 50%, but after some back and forth, the price dropped to 30%. However, upon hearing that the other lawyer's name was Fang Yucai, he immediately canceled the cooperation. Before leaving, he even gave Lu Gucheng a few words of advice, showing a bit of conscience.

"Fang Yucai's prices start at hundreds of thousands, and his big deals are worth tens of millions, yet he personally came down to handle such a small matter as yours... The other party invited Fang Yucai here, so your little bit of money is nothing to them. They clearly just want to annoy you and vent your anger for your nephew..."

In principle, he shouldn't need to personally handle such civil disputes, but he did anyway, and he was on the front lines.

You could hire a good lawyer with that money, but even if the lawyer performs exceptionally well, it's still a 50/50 draw. The other party is inherently in an invincible position; their resources are too abundant. I don't know how they could possibly lose..."

Chapter 34: Let's test the waters by killing a dragon king?

The situation surrounding Lu Mingfei is constantly changing, and things are not peaceful for Su Enxi either.

A handsome young man suddenly appeared in the presidential hotel suite and sat on the leather sofa.

The three women probably wouldn't have noticed anything if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, not even Mai Shude and Zero, who were elite fighters.

"boss!"

When Mai saw the handsome boss, her eyes seemed to light up.

"What happened?" Zero was quite calm and rational. The boss's sudden appearance, with a gloomy face and a thoughtful look, could not be anything good.

Upon hearing Zero's question, Mai Shude switched back from her fanatical fan mode to normal mode, looking at her boss with a serious expression.

Su Enxi remained calm and composed.

The handsome man addressed as "boss" calmly said, "Lu Mingfei has already learned Mirror Eye. Although he hasn't yet used Potato Chips's Heavenly Evolution and Long Legs' Netherworld Illumination, I don't think he will fail."

"When did you find out he had learned it?" Su Enxi asked.

“This morning after he woke up, he cast ‘Word of Power: Emperor’ and ‘Word of Power: Mirror Eye: Emperor’ in his room.” The handsome man knew what they wanted to ask, and continued, “Last night, Lu Mingfei was in a deep sleep and did not secretly study or practice Word of Power overnight.”

"So, boss, you can't figure out how Lu Mingfei learned the power of words?" Su Enxi asked thoughtfully. "Is it possible that Lu Mingfei is a genius at the power of words? He can learn it instantly and understand it at a glance?"

"I don't know his method of learning the power of words, but he does have some problems." For the first time, a look of frustration appeared on the handsome man's face, who always seemed to be strategizing and winning battles from afar.

Even Xia Mi, a nobody, could tell that Lu Mingfei might have a mental disorder and two personalities within him, let alone someone like him who uses mental powers.

But because he was more skilled at it, he became even more doubtful of his own judgment. Lu Mingfei's mental state was not problematic; only one personality existed.

Normal schizophrenia is like tearing a loaf of bread in two, but Lu Mingfei's current state is like a shell; the bread itself hasn't been torn open, but it's already clearly divided into two parts.

Adding to that Lu Mingfei's inexplicably forced activation of his Word of Power, he truly felt like he'd wasted his life. He'd never seen this before, never seen that before, like a country bumpkin in a big city…

It was like taking an exam. He had initially thought he had everything under control, but now he felt his paper wasn't so sure anymore, so he opened it again and checked it over and over again, just to be sure.

He had tried to test Lu Mingfei's mental state, but in the end, he was disappointed. He secretly knocked a few times out of suspicion, but there was no response. So he boldly went to check and found that Lu Mingfei was still the same Lu Mingfei.

But anyone with eyes can see that Lu Mingfei's problem is that he can't find the root cause. That can only mean one thing: he's still too incompetent. At least when it comes to the root cause of Lu Mingfei's changes, he's still a complete novice.

"Let's put Lu Mingfei's learning of Word Magic aside for now. What should we do next? Has Xia Mi's situation really been resolved? We're jumping around next to a dragon king; it feels like we're playing with fire," Su Enxi asked him.

Even the boss couldn't understand Lu Mingfei's study of Word Magic, let alone expect them to. As for Xia Mi... she was truly playing with fire. She wasn't the kind of trouble that could be resolved simply by dealing with her. If they sensed something was wrong, prepared a few backup plans, and sent her to Lu Mingfei's side, wouldn't they explode?

A dragon king, after all, knows far too much.

But when the handsome guy heard her words, his originally gloomy face suddenly sneered and said, "Xia Mi is easy to deal with. She is still as worried as ever, as weak and helpless as ever. Let her play by herself."

The tone was like an adult saying to a kindergarten child, "Here's some candy, sweetie, go play by yourself."
