The system was also very considerate in collecting all the previous information for him, analyzing it, and then pinning it to the top of the list.
[...Because there are many things to do, and a person's time and energy are limited, if the host were completely obsessed with picking up girls, he wouldn't be so concerned about things in Japan. However, it's clear that the host didn't take picking up girls to that level of dedication, causing that momentary attraction to gradually fade and be suppressed. Now that the host has begun to relax his body and idly reminisce about the past, it's like flipping through a picture book, taking the host back to that moment...]
The system painstakingly analyzed a whole bunch of things, but Lu Mingfei only glanced at them casually, grabbed some key information, and then stopped looking at them.
Fortunately, he accepted the system's analysis, unlike those office workers who spend days painstakingly writing data, only to have their boss glance at it and send it back for revisions. After many revisions, the boss would then say that the first version was quite good... Lu Mingfei suddenly smiled at this thought.
I really seamlessly transitioned into the perspective of a boss, but my perspective was somewhat mixed with that of a corporate slave, resulting in a lack of depth. I was even able to think from the perspective of a corporate slave.
"Want some midnight snacks?" Xia Mi's voice came at the same time as the door opened.
"eat."
Lu Mingfei got out of bed and went outside.
Xia Mi placed the late-night snack on the table, glanced at Lu Mingfei's expression, and said, "Lu Mingfei, you seem to be in a good mood? Did you think of something happy?"
"Is it that obvious?" Lu Mingfei touched his face. That smile just now shouldn't have such a strong aftereffect, right?
Xia Mi pointed to her eyes and said, "It might not be that obvious, but my eyes are sharp, and my intuition tells me that you were having a good time, Lu Mingfei."
"Oh."
So it was Xia Mi's intuition. It's alright then. Xia Mi's intuition is always very accurate. She used to be able to tell directly from her intuition who was controlling the account, Lu Mingfei or the system. Apart from the little devil, Lu Mingfei has never seen anyone else who could tell the difference.
"So, did you think of something happy? Can you share in my happiness?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered what happened when you and I spent New Year's Day together."
"What's so fun about that?"
Chapter 229 Conspiracy in Kassel
As for the New Year's Day situation, Xia Mi, being a lively and cheerful girl, saw that Lu Mingfei's parents hadn't returned for many years, and his foster uncle and aunt treated him badly. Considering all these factors, she felt she couldn't let Lu Mingfei spend New Year's Day alone and miserable!
After all, they live right across the street, which is very close. It's only natural for neighbors to get to know each other and help each other out.
Lu Mingfei smiled at Xia Mi's seemingly uninteresting remark, but said nothing. People cannot truly empathize with each other because they have different experiences.
Like Su Enxi, if she sees a one-yuan coin on the ground, she won't bend down to pick it up even if she steps on it. After all, even if she loses one yuan every second, it's not as fast as her jobs.
But if a child finds a dollar, the child will be very happy, since the child doesn't own much.
Since the other party couldn't empathize, there was nothing more to say. Lu Mingfei then said, "Chu Zihang is preparing for the college entrance examination. I wonder how he will arrange his time."
“Chu Zihang is probably waiting for you to give him orders,” Xia Mi said. “Whether he goes to university or not is irrelevant to him, but it’s hard to say for sure with his parents. With his grades, it’s not suitable for him to apply to any school in the city.”
"Then I'll try to arrange it." Lu Mingfei nodded.
Whether Chu Zihang goes to university or not is insignificant, but his mother might be more concerned... However, there's no rush. After the college entrance exam, it will be quite a while before the results are released, and after that, it will be even longer before he can fill out the application. After that, schools won't start until at least September... There are still several months to go.
……
"Boss..." Old Tang hesitated and said to Lu Mingfei, "I suddenly remembered a question. I often come into contact with Constantine's blood and the dragon bone cross. Will that irritate Norton?"
Although it was just a small amount of dragon blood and a bit of dragon bone, he hadn't had any reaction after obtaining it these past few days. However... when he suddenly remembered this matter, he seemed quite worried.
"Probably not." The system shook its head. "Norton suffered heavy losses and was greatly depleted after the last major battle. Where would he get the strength to recover in such a short time?"
Old Tang said weakly, "Mainly because I witnessed the horror and wonder of alchemy..."
The more you study alchemy, the more astonishing it becomes. When I first came into contact with it, I only knew that alchemy was magical, but I didn't expect it to be this magical. Later, the more I got into it, the more incredible it seemed.
It's like an ancient person suddenly encountering modern science and technology; the whole experience feels absurd.
"Hmm..." The system was silent for two and a half seconds.
The main problem is that Lu Mingze has been dragging his feet on the Constantine matter, which has left Lu Mingfei with nothing to deal with Norton, making Old Tang, the Norton host, very anxious.
After all, when others face Norton's resurrection, they simply face Norton's resurrection, but when Norton truly resurrects, it's within his body.
He reassured her, "I'm also trying to figure out how to resolve Norton's issue for you, but it will take some time to get it sorted out."
"Really? How did you do it?"
"It's about controlling Norton by controlling Constantine."
"Huh? Wasn't Constantine dead?"
“He died, but not completely. You can think of it as having his soul extracted and his spirit recreated, thus bringing Constantine back to life.”
Old Tang was shocked when he heard this. Soul extraction, body reshaping, resurrection of the dead? Boss, do you want to hear what you're saying?
Modern human technology is basically unable to accomplish this, right? So, what kind of technology did the boss use to achieve this goal?
Old Tang didn't quite understand, and was deeply shocked.
But judging from his boss's expression, it didn't seem like he was just trying to fool him or make empty promises...
At this moment, Chu Zihang walked over and asked, "Boss, how is my dad? What do we need him for next?"
Chu Zihang watched as Chu Tianjiao stayed in the lab for several days without coming out. Although he could visit and inquire about Lao Tang and Xia Mi's plans for his father, the real decision-maker for this plan was still his boss.
What exactly does your boss want to do to your father? Only the boss knows the answer.
“It’s nothing.” Lu Mingfei shook his head: “The current situation is to see if we can find out how Odin performed the modification surgery on your father. If we can find out, we will study Odin’s modification surgery. If we can’t find out, then we’ll leave it at that.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Zihang nodded.
With Chu Zihang and Lao Tang gone, Lu Mingfei felt much more relaxed. After all, he didn't have much to do recently, and the system hosting system often gave him time off even if he didn't uninstall it.
After all, the basic foundation has been laid, there is much less to do later. As long as no major projects are started, the system can focus on trusting its subordinates to do the work and occasionally checking on the progress.
But as Lu Mingfei watched Chu Zihang's departing figure, he suddenly remembered what Su Enxi had said earlier... Kassel College... Come to think of it, although he had previously had contact with the world's number one mixed-race power, he had never visited their territory.
He had almost completely eliminated the mixed-race individuals in the Japanese branch, and the Kassel College was feeling quite disheartened.
How about we talk to Angers? Maybe Kassel College will accept Chu Zihang for further studies? If he gets into a university, his mother might feel a little more relaxed.
【……OK……】
After the system's analysis concluded that there was nothing wrong, Lu Mingfei called Angers.
Angers was getting ready to sleep in the college when he heard the phone ring. He picked it up and saw that the caller was Lu Mingfei. He immediately answered the phone with interest.
"Hey, Lu Mingfei, what's wrong? Why are you calling me so late at night?"
"Um... Principal, it's not even dark here in China yet. I just thought you might still be awake at this hour, so I was calling to let you know. I hope I'm not disturbing you?"
"No offense, I'm not asleep yet, I was just about to go to bed. But if it's you, Lu Mingfei, calling, I'll answer even if it's the middle of the night. So what brings you on this call? Is there something you want to do with Kassel College again?"
The information about Odin and the Nibelungen was useless, basically without any practical value, because they had only just begun their investigation and hadn't even gotten to the bottom of it when the Nibelungen suddenly collapsed...
The board of directors remained silent for a long time regarding this result, and ultimately said nothing.
The information they provided was indeed accurate, although it contained some minor flaws. However, that was their own fault; they failed to open the door to Nibelungen in time, which resulted in them missing out on the great battle that took place inside Nibelungen and thus gaining nothing.
Lu Mingfei said, "It's like this, Chu Zihang, who works under me, is an extremely outstanding mixed-race person. Recently, he may face pressure from his family to go to university. Someone with his talent definitely can't go to an ordinary university. After thinking it over, only Kassel College is suitable for him to pursue further studies."
Upon hearing this, Angers pondered for a moment and recalled the person named Chu Zihang, then said, "That's no problem. Our Kassel College has always cooperated with various mixed-race organizations around the world. After they send people to study, the students have also learned a lot of useful things. It's definitely worth it."
“Okay, but Chu Zihang can’t fully immerse himself in his studies at school. He might need to come back here sometimes to help me with some things. I wonder if your Kassel College supports this kind of further education?”
"The biggest problem is that his journey from the United States back to China takes a lot of time. As for taking leave, Kassel College has no problem with that. Going to university to learn skills is for working after graduation. If students can graduate early and have sufficient ability to handle things, that would be a good thing."
"I understand. I'll ask Chu Zihang what he thinks later."
"Well, if you come to Kassel College for further studies, during your time at the college, Kassel College may assign students to handle some emergency matters or do internships or something."
"What can a bunch of students do?" Lu Mingfei was a little puzzled. The students of Kassel College were not ordinary students, but they were still just students with little experience. They hadn't even mastered their skills before going out to handle emergency matters. What was the difference between that and giving them away for free?
"The school will definitely assess the overall strength before deciding to send someone out to carry out the mission. After all, everyone has different strengths and abilities, and they are better at handling different things."
"Yes, I understand. It's good that Chu Zihang can learn more."
"Then it's settled."
"it is good."
After making a verbal agreement, Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and sent Chu Zihang a text message: "I have an idea right now, which is to send you to Kassel College for further studies. Of course, studying at Kassel College is definitely not like a regular university, with all sorts of restrictions and rules to follow. You will also have more freedom."
Chu Zihang: "Are you going to Kassel College to gather information or something?"
Chu Zihang's first thought was that Lu Mingfei had sent him there to gather information or something.
The problems with Kassel College are obvious to anyone with eyes to see, but these problems are not to be discussed. They are the world's largest mixed-race organization, and a powerful dragon-slaying organization at that. Who do you think you are to dare to talk about them?
Lu Mingfei: "I do have that idea in mind. It just so happens that you're going to university to resolve the potential problems your mother is worried about, so I'm just arranging it for you."
Chu Zihang: "Okay, go ahead and make the arrangements."
Chu Zihang agreed without hesitation. After all, although he joined Lu Mingfei's system early, he had done very little... Compared to someone like Lao Tang, he was practically a slacker.
Compared to Xia Mi, Xia Mi also has advantages.
Even compared to that little girl Panpan, he had no advantage whatsoever...
Once Chu Zihang had settled things, Lu Mingfei immediately went to find Su Enxi, asked where she was, and then drove over there right away.
After sitting down on the sofa, he went straight to the point: "President Su, what was your idea when you said you wanted to take action against Kassel College?"
"Boss Lu, how did you suddenly change your mind?" Su Enxi was a little confused. After all, she had given up hope after Lu Mingfei rejected her before. She didn't expect that so little time had passed before Lu Mingfei would come back to her.
Lu Mingfei shrugged and said, "If you've figured it out, then you've figured it out. What were your thoughts before? Why don't you tell me? Let's see if we can work together to accomplish something big."
"Oh, speaking of which, my idea is to investigate the matter between the Secret Party and Kassel College, because historically, the Secret Party and Kassel College have had many experiences of taking action against dragons."
Su Enxi's eyes flickered. "Herzog's ability to capture a half-dead dragon king for research is incredible. I wish I could do that too. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do. As things stand, only the Secret Party and Kassel College, besides Boss Lu's team, have that kind of strength."
“Mm.” Lu Mingfei nodded.
It's incredible that Herzog, as a human, was able to capture a half-dead dragon king for research. This is an opportunity that many people dream of, but they have no way to achieve it.
"But what are you going to do with your research on the Dragon King?"
Su Enxi said, "I've recently come across an interesting project that I want to work on to distinguish between ordinary dragons and dragon kings."
Lu Mingfei immediately said, "Coincidentally, I also have a similar project to distinguish between ordinary dragons and dragon kings."
"Oh?" Su Enxi adjusted her glasses. "Boss Lu, what good thing did you get? The reason I'm doing this research is because my boss obtained something from the Dragon King, so he immediately started researching it and tried to get as much information about the Dragon King as possible."
"Your boss's research?" Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow.
“Yes, it’s my boss’s research.” Su Enxi nodded and said, “I won’t go into details about what he’s researching, but right now I want a living dragon, and not one of those with low bloodlines. It has to be at least a third-generation or second-generation dragon.”
“Living dragons…” Lu Mingfei was silent for a long time. “How can you be sure that Kassel College and the Secret Service have anything about living dragons?”
