Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 10

This is also why Xia Mi is wary; Lu Mingfei wants to die, but she doesn't.

Could the two of them cooperate? Devour Chu Zihang, eliminate the other dragons, and then work together to plot against Odin?

Xia Mi fell into deep thought, analyzing the feasibility of the plan.

But everyone wants to take all the spoils of victory for themselves. If they can take them all, why should they share them equally?

Although she hadn't figured out the problem, Xia Mi still positioned Lu Mingfei as an adversary, but acknowledged the possibility of cooperation.

……

Lu Mingfei's grades improved, and his attitude towards learning, along with his suddenly cold personality, made him the focus of attention in the class.

Chen Wenwen whispered to Lu Mingfei, "Lu Mingfei, can we go to the library together tomorrow afternoon after school to move some books to our literature club?"

Her voice was soft and serene, giving one the feeling of strolling through a Norwegian forest.

Although her basic looks aren't as striking as the other two beauties, she's still able to hold her own and has her own unique charm.

"School ends tomorrow afternoon? I have something to do and need to leave school first." The system snapped out of its study mode, its tone equally cold and distant, and said to her, "Why don't you ask Xu Yanyan and the others if they're free?"

The novel written by the system was a great success, and it had to add more chapters to reward the readers. However, it still had some time after school, and it didn't agree simply because it needed to get rid of the impression of being completely infatuated with Chen Wenwen first.

Otherwise, a girl like Chen Wenwen, who admires strength, would never choose a sycophant who is completely devoted to her as her partner.

Chen Wenwen, this artistic young woman, is quite popular with her teachers. The literary society she founded has teachers leading the way, and many of her followers have joined the literary society.

Lu Mingfei also had some artistic talent, and he never refused anything Chen Wenwen asked him to do. He worked hard without complaint and was always willing to do anything for her. As a result, Chen Wenwen immediately promoted him to a position as a director of the literary society.

Although everyone was gossiping behind her back: Chen Wenwen made Lu Mingfei a director because she was afraid he would run away from her useful tool.

Although Lu Mingfei's position as a director of the literary society was not a real one, he did most of the odd jobs and worked hard without complaint. Even without the director position, he would be willing to do it.

Even Chen Wenwen knew that he had to give him some benefits, but his aunt took his money and belittled and suppressed him in various ways.

"No time? Okay, I'll ask someone else." Chen Wenwen nodded gently, not too reluctant.

But no one knows what she was thinking.

After all, Lu Mingfei used to follow her every word, never going west when she told him to go east. Even during the busiest time of founding the literary society, Lu Mingfei never complained and worked hard without a word.

Now that the literary society's framework is in place, Lu Mingfei has rejected Chen Wenwen.

Chapter 18 How come they all know Lu Mingfei?

The system didn't look at Chen Wenwen's departing figure, but continued to focus on its textbook, concentrating on overcoming the difficulties.

His rejection of Chen Wenwen was quite surprising, and Su Xiaoqiang was extremely astonished.

You should know that when Lu Mingfei first met Chen Wenwen, in order to promote her, he directly told her to his face that Chen Wenwen was the most beautiful.

Before stepping on Lu Mingfei's instep, Su Xiaoqiang even suspected that the conflict had already begun, and that Lu Mingfei was a plant hired by Chen Wenwen to bully other girls.

After all, who in their right mind would say another girl is the prettiest in front of a pretty girl? But later it turned out that Lu Mingfei was just a simpleton... So Su Xiaoqiang didn't hold it against him. After all, a normal person probably wouldn't argue with an idiot, right?

Although Lu Mingfei was foolish, he genuinely liked Chen Wenwen. Anyone with eyes could see that he had feelings for her, but no one thought it would work out.

Chen Wenwen is a quiet and beautiful girl with artistic temperament. Her grades are among the best in Shilan Middle School, where there are many outstanding students. She also founded a literary society and is highly appreciated and loved by teachers and leaders. She is a true model student.

In contrast, Lu Mingfei... had terrible grades, a slovenly appearance, and was often found sleeping or slouching in class. He also frequented internet cafes...

It's fair to say that when you like a girl, you can't just look at her qualities; you also have to consider your own. Lu Mingfei's quality is that at Shilan Middle School, any student you randomly stop would be better than him.

But that was the old Lu Mingfei. The current Lu Mingfei... well... Su Xiaoqiang didn't know how to describe him.

For the past two months, Lu Mingfei has been completely immersed in his own world, much like someone with autism. He has had almost no active interaction with the outside world and has devoted himself entirely to his studies. His efforts have paid off, as evidenced by his excellent monthly exam results last month.

……

The basketball court was packed with people, boys and girls cheering for the players on the court.

Chu Zihang faked out his opponent, backed down, and dunked in one smooth motion. Scoring a basket was as easy as eating and drinking. He single-handedly took on five opponents.

The girls screamed, captivated by Chu Zihang's handsome appearance, wishing they could have his babies. The boys gritted their teeth, wishing Chu Zihang would immediately fall from grace.

You can be handsome, you can be strong, but you can't be too perfect! Otherwise, what will we do?

Lu Mingfei stood on a small slope beside the sports field and took in the whole scene.

The system is also considering analyzing the likelihood of participating in a sporting activity.

Chu Zihang excels in basketball, cello, saxophone, swordsmanship, and Tai Chi. He played center for the city's youth basketball team and performed a cello solo of "Schindler's List" at a gala at Shilan Middle School. He is handsome, comes from a good family, ranks first in his grade, excels in both academics and sports, and is virtuous and talented... These are all qualities that the system aims to emulate and even surpass.

However, basketball's audience is actually quite small, which made the system waver. Basketball is only popular in some countries, and the domestic basketball market only started to expand after Yao Ming joined the NBA and made a name for himself. But the system's vision extends beyond just the domestic market.

The system aims to promote football, the world's number one sport, whose audience is far larger than basketball's, and known worldwide. When the Chinese national football team qualified for the 2002 World Cup finals, the country was in an uproar… but the domestic football market and its audience…

The system ultimately decided to play badminton, because girls prefer badminton, it's easy to learn, doesn't require much space, and it's easier to play with girls and build a relationship.

However… the system looked at Chu Zihang playing basketball with some doubt. Perhaps ordinary people would think that Chu Zihang was just good at sports, but after a rigorous visual inspection, the system found that Chu Zihang had the potential to become a young master.

The system has a clear understanding of the normal human body; the human body is neither as weak as some might think, nor as strong as some might think. In a fight between experts, unless there's a significant weight difference, they would need to target weaknesses.

But even the system couldn't say for sure about Chu Zihang. After a series of operations, it seemed to be working, but it wasn't quite sure. The system needed to take a closer look.

Su Xiaoqiang sat down on the grass nearby and asked him, "Lu Mingfei, what are you looking at?"

"Chu Zihang is playing basketball downstairs." The system turned to look at Su Xiaoqiang. "Weren't you playing badminton over there?"

"It's my turn. I lost. Come sit down and rest for a bit." Su Xiaoqiang smoothed her hair, which was being blown by the breeze, and looked intently at the basketball game below. She realized that the boy in white on the court was indeed Chu Zihang. She said, "But why isn't Chu Zihang's dedicated cheerleading team here today?"

"The school cheerleading team is only for the main competition. Today, Chu Zihang is only playing in his class's match, and his class doesn't have a cheerleading team," the system said.

“No wonder I haven’t heard anything about him playing in the competition.” Su Xiaoqiang said thoughtfully, but after looking around, she was a little puzzled: “What about Xia Mi? Even if she doesn’t have to go cheerleading and dance, she should still go and bring water and towels to Chu Zihang.”

Everyone could see that Lu Mingfei liked Chen Wenwen, and that Xia Mi, the school cheerleading captain, liked to fawn over Chu Zihang. Her wolfish ambitions were almost obvious, and her true intentions were as clear as day.

However, the cheerleading captain is indeed beautiful. Just like the boys' regret about Chu Zihang, the girls also feel the same regret about the cute Xia Mi.

"What are you saying, student???"

A pleasant voice came from behind her. Su Xiaoqiang turned around and immediately felt a little embarrassed.

You were talking about someone behind their back, and it turned out the person in question was right behind you, and they overheard you.

The usually proud Little Fairy stood up somewhat awkwardly and greeted, "Hello, Junior Sister Xia Mi."

Xia Mi smiled at her nonchalantly and said, "Hello, senior, I'm here to see Lu Mingfei."

Her words surprised Su Xiaoqiang.

"What's wrong?" The system turned around.

Xia Mi picked up the ping-pong paddle in her hand and said, "I saw you were in PE class, so I went and got you a ping-pong paddle. Do you know how to play?"

The system shook its head, "I don't know how to play table tennis, I've never learned."

The small ball driving the big ball has indeed made table tennis a true national sport, but with so many people, there are always some who slip through the net. Lu Mingfei is one of those who slipped through the net, someone who has never even touched a racket.

Xia Mi said, "That's alright. Chu Zihang's competition is almost over. I'll have him teach you later. He's really good at table tennis. He taught me all my techniques."

Su Xiaoqiang watched from the side, completely bewildered, not understanding the relationship between Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi.

Xia Mi extended a strong invitation, and the system had no reason to refuse, so it nodded slightly.

After Chu Zihang finished his basketball game, he stepped away from the crowd of admirers, wrapped a towel around his neck, and resolutely walked up the small hill.

It seems that Xia Mi and Chu Zihang had arranged to play ping-pong in this class beforehand.

When Chu Zihang arrived with a cold expression, he saw the boy next to Xia Mi and said, "Lu Mingfei?"

???

Before Su Xiaoqiang, who was trying to appear reserved in front of Chu Zihang, could even speak, she heard these words that surprised her.

How come they all know Lu Mingfei?

Chapter 19 Young people shouldn't be too young

Lu Mingfei himself and the system were also quite puzzled by this, not understanding why Chu Zihang knew him.

Chu Zihang, the only male god of Shilan Middle School, has no social relationship with Lu Mingfei and no way of knowing each other.

He was just an ordinary student, not a member of the student council under the leadership of Chu Zihang, the student council president, nor did he perform any special talents or show off his skills. Although his grades were a bit poor before, they were not enough to make him famous throughout the school.

Last month's monthly exam results jumped several times, which only caused a stir in the class and spread a little bit of fame outside. That was only because Lu Mingfei was good at playing games and had made friends with a group of gamers in the school, which barely made his story spread beyond the school.

But there were no rumors about Chu Zihang playing games, and he wasn't a social butterfly.

"Huh? You two know each other?" Xia Mi was also a little surprised.

"Yes, I've met him, and I know Lu Mingfei's name." Chu Zihang's expression remained cold and stern, and he seemed to have no intention of explaining.

The system, like Xing Tian, ​​was somewhat baffled by this.

Of course we've met. We're in the same school, go to and from school every day, and are both upperclassmen. Isn't it normal to have met? But would a normal person know the name of a younger classmate with whom they have no connection?

However, knowing the junior's name was a minor matter. Seeing that Chu Zihang didn't want to talk about it, the system didn't ask.

Xia Mi was really curious about how her two targets knew each other, but seeing the two boys' indifferent expressions, she didn't ask.

She said, "It's good that you know. You don't need me to introduce you. Let's go play ping pong. By the way, Senior Chu Zihang, could you use the key to open the door to the indoor ping pong room? There are no ping pong tables available."

Lu Mingfei suspected that Xia Mi invited Chu Zihang because they couldn't get a ping-pong table. After all, ping-pong tables are quite sought after, and wouldn't it be better to play ping-pong indoors?

The indoor table tennis room at Shilan Middle School is a dedicated competition venue for some table tennis organization in that city, and it even has air conditioning. Because of the classroom cleaning area, he sometimes sees some middle-aged people playing table tennis there. Some are strong and fit, while others have beer bellies, but they all look like people who live a life of luxury.

"Mm." Chu Zihang nodded gently.

As the student council president, how could he not have some authority given to him by the teachers? The head teacher in charge usually delegated the cleaning of the indoor table tennis room and the preparations before competitions to Chu Zihang, because Chu Zihang could lead the student council to get things done.

As a result, the student council president's drawer contained quite a few keys to doors.

Chu Zihang felt no guilt whatsoever about abusing public power for private gain, because it was permitted by the teacher in charge.

Su Xiaoqiang stood there watching the three figures leave without any hesitation, somewhat puzzled. Wait, when did Lu Mingfei become such a social butterfly? He knows this and that.

How could someone change so much in less than two months? He's become a stranger to those who know him well.

It took a few minutes to get the key from the student union office and open the door. Neither Chu Zihang nor the system spoke on the way.

Chu Zihang recalled that dark night with torrential rain, and he, who was not talkative to begin with, became even more silent.

The system felt there was nothing to say. On the surface, the two had no interaction, but in the system's target, Chu Zihang was someone they were to "eliminate"!
