Su Enxi's words carried a hint of showing off her wealth.
That nonchalant tone made it seem as if the billions of dollars invested in Lu Mingfei were just a few dollars given away casually...
"Thank you all for your help," Lu Mingfei said. "If possible, your boss could invest a little more in me."
"what would you like?"
Lu Mingfei casually said, "The more information about the Dragon Clan, the better. I don't mind having too much."
Bronze City Dragon Pattern, a complete waste of time...
Previously, I was hoping to acquire an ancient city of dragon civilization or something, but now I've suddenly obtained a large amount of dragon information, and I'll be able to take off like a rocket.
The initial harvest in Bronze City was very fruitful, but then nothing happened... The dragon script inscribed in Bronze City didn't contain much information that Lu Mingfei needed.
What Lu Mingfei wanted most was an encyclopedia or history book about the dragon race, but the dragon patterns in Bronze City were all about everyday stories...
The Dragon Script library contains a sufficient amount of Dragon Script, and the translation of "Alchemy: Origins" is almost complete, which has already achieved the expected goal.
However, there were few unexpected gains, such as a lack of detailed information about the dragon race, which was somewhat disappointing.
Hearing this, Su Enxi rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei and said, "Where did you get so much information about dragon script? I've been collecting it for you, but it's really hard to find. The few pieces of dragon script records I've collected are not systematic at all."
At this point, Su Enxi paused, as if she hadn't thought about anything, before continuing, "Right now, what can satisfy you, Boss Lu, is probably to find a professional ancient city of dragons where a large number of dragons gather. Otherwise, it's probably not that easy to find such a place."
"Ah."
Her words were not surprising, and Lu Mingfei nodded.
……
"Follow and track down Su Enxi and the other two women..."
Xia Mi, bored out of her mind, leaned on the railing of the high-rise building, staring at her target below—Shu De Mai.
Lu Mingfei had secretly assigned her people to investigate other matters, but her own surveillance was far more reliable than that of her subordinates. Moreover, acting alone gave her more freedom and convenience, allowing her to occasionally check on Old Tang's situation...
Zero likes to travel abroad, while Su Enxi prefers to stay in her hotel room. Xia Mi's gaze naturally fell on the Japanese ninja, Mai Shutoku.
But Xia Mi was speechless.
Zero and Su Enxi couldn't gather any useful information, and things weren't much better for her with Jiude Mai.
Mai Shude does indeed enjoy going out, but the things she does are quite ordinary.
To Xia Mi, flirting with handsome guys is no different from wasting time. But Shude Mai is quite fond of it.
Always flaunting his long legs...
Watching Mai, who was flirting with handsome men downstairs, Xia Mi suddenly remembered something: "By the way, does Lu Mingfei's body still have the sensations of a normal man?"
This was a blind spot she had always overlooked, because she never treated Lu Mingfei as a normal person.
A normal human soul and an extremely cold mechanical soul, the two souls occasionally switch control of the body.
In this situation, how could Lu Mingfei possibly survive? Destroying a person's spirit and soul is something even an ordinary human could easily do, let alone someone at the Dragon King's level. It's a piece of cake!
But if it were a dragon or an emotionless machine, it would probably be completely unmoved by a woman's seductive gestures...
But what if Lu Mingfei is retained? The main feature is that a gambling machine is far from humane and requires a certain degree of human correction or assistance.
Thinking about this, Xia Mi began to re-examine Lu Mingfei, because her previous speculation had been overturned, and she needed to find a more reasonable explanation.
At the very least, we should try to probe the bottom line and see if we can find any loopholes or weaknesses, right? We can't just sit idly by and wait to die without doing anything, can we?
If that normal human soul is the original Lu Mingfei's soul, then she still has a tiny chance. What if it really is Lu Mingfei?
However, he needs to be certified, after all, practice is the only truth... Thinking of this, Xia Mi seemed to see a vaguely clear and promising road ahead.
"Wonderful."
She couldn't wait to start planning right away.
However, this matter is quite important and must be carefully planned. We must not act rashly, otherwise we might easily give ourselves away, which would be no fun.
Xia Mi stood on the balcony, and Jiu De Mai stopped observing and began to think about how to target Lu Mingfei.
Fortunately, the school had some information about Lu Mingfei and some people who knew him... so we can go to them and ask what kind of person Lu Mingfei was before.
Without hesitation, Xia Mi turned and left to find Lu Mingfei's old friends and good brothers.
Dealing with these ordinary people is also very simple. Anyway, there is still time. We can take our time to do the job carefully and clean up the mess slowly, ensuring that no one can tell that they have been brainwashed or anything.
Chapter 211 Useless Information
Xia Mi busied herself running around, while the system continued to ensure the safety of Su Enxi and the others during Xia Mi's investigation.
The probability of something going wrong is low, but that doesn't mean there's no chance. It would be a pity if such a beautiful woman died because of a little negligence.
It's not that the system feels sorry for Lu Mingfei, but rather that the system believes Lu Mingfei would be a pity, so it has to plan this step carefully.
After another visit to express gratitude for the benefactor's help, Jiu Dema saw Lu Mingfei out.
After closing the door, she turned to Su Enxi and said, "How many times has Lu Mingfei come here this week?"
“This is the fifth time,” Su Enxi said. “What’s wrong? Do you feel there’s a problem?”
"How could there not be a problem here? He never used it this often before!"
Mai sat down on the sofa and crossed her long legs on the coffee table.
Then Su Enxi pushed him away with a look of disgust, saying, "Can't you be a little more hygienic? Don't be so casual. Not everyone likes your beautiful feet."
"I was thinking about something, and before I knew it, I'd done it like this." Mai explained before asking, "What's the situation now? Can you figure out what Lu Mingfei is trying to do?"
"He probably has a lot of things he wants to do." Su Enxi stretched and put her legs on the coffee table, where Jiu Demai's long legs were no longer in the way.
Upon seeing this action, Mai immediately glared at her and said, "What do you mean by this? So you're not concerned about hygiene, but rather afraid my legs will block yours, is that it?"
"You're so smart," Su Enxi smiled.
Then, Mai grabbed her legs and lifted them up, making Su Enxi's legs stick out high.
This action almost made Su Enxi slide off the sofa. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Stop messing around, stop messing around. We're talking about serious business."
"Hey, I'm doing serious business too."
Mai Shude gave a wicked smile. After all, the two of them were acting in a rather improper manner, but in terms of the meaning behind their actions, it was indeed a serious matter, and one that concerned the reproduction of humankind.
"Stop it, stop it, Zero, please save me."
"Do you still dare to be naughty?"
"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore..."
"..."
They kept saying they were dealing with serious matters, but in reality, the two women held hands for quite a while before finally letting go to end the dispute.
Zero stood by and watched indifferently, like a cold and apathetic husband, completely unconcerned about what was happening before his eyes.
Jiude Mai sat down, picked up some melon seeds from the coffee table, and asked while cracking them open, "Lu Mingfei has a lot of ideas, but what exactly does he want to do? Tell me first."
Su Enxi took a sip of tea to hydrate herself and moisten her throat before speaking: "First of all, there's our origin story. Our appearance was quite abrupt. Anyone with a normal mind would definitely suspect that we have ulterior motives."
Mai nodded: "Yes, that's for sure, and we do have ulterior motives."
“Don’t interrupt me,” Su Enxi said. “Secondly, there are our supporters. Our force appeared in Lu Mingfei’s life very suddenly. It’s normal for them to have other ideas about him and want to take advantage of him. But there are good and bad ones, and the difference between the two is huge.”
"Mmm." Mai Shude nodded.
"Then, we need to pinpoint the level of our backers: humans, dragons, dragon kings... each level represents different powers and their general objectives..."
Su Enxi briefly told Jiu Demai about the various potential targets that Lu Mingfei had been visiting whenever he had nothing else to do.
"So many things..." Mai Shude pondered and said, "Was your initial appearance plan too rough? Did it lead to these hidden problems?"
Su Enxi pointed to her head and said, "When something goes wrong, don't always think about blaming others. Instead, think about whether you made a mistake or misunderstood something."
"Given the scale of our actions and the level of support we've provided, any normal person would have to wonder what our true motives are. This isn't something that can be explained away with just a few words or a frank confession. We've given so much, it's comparable to what parents give their children."
"Even if we take a smoother and more reasonable approach, as Lu Mingfei grows, he will inevitably fall into the vortex of these problems. This is almost unavoidable unless we are completely and unconditionally trusting each other."
Mai Shude didn't care about Su Enxi's disdain. She had just looked down on Su Enxi's strength herself, which was an undeniable fact.
She said, "So what do we do next? Lu Mingfei is suspicious of us, but the boss is still not showing up to give us any new insights. Why don't we just sell the boss out? It's all for the boss's good. I've seen in TV dramas that a simple delay in communication between two people can lead to an irreparable tragedy."
“We don’t need to worry about Lu Mingfei.” After saying this, Su Enxi glanced at Zero, who had no expression on his face.
Zero remained expressionless, showing no reaction to what she said.
"why?"
Jude Mai asked.
"This isn't something we can explain in a few words, and besides, our strength is no longer among the top..."
Su Enxi observed Ling's expression and continued, "The balance between us and Lu Mingfei has become unequal, and our voice has been greatly weakened. At this point, it's good enough if Lu Mingfei can even listen to what we're saying, but if we talk too much, it will only arouse his suspicion, which would be like shooting ourselves in the foot, like emphasizing what we lack."
"Oh." After roughly understanding the situation, Mai Shude didn't ask any more questions, but instead started to ponder it on her own.
Seeing her thoughtful expression, Su Enxi raised her eyebrows and said, "Please speak out your bold ideas."
They've been partners for so many years, you could practically tell what the other is going to say just by looking at them. The fact that Mai Shude is looking so serious in thought means she's definitely not thinking anything proper.
But Mai Shude smiled and said, "Hehe, I won't tell you, why don't you guess?"
……
"Lu Mingfei? He has indeed changed a lot recently. Apart from his grades, personality, and work ability... well, I think I've said all that, right? He's still the same as before."
"Lu Mingfei? He hasn't come to the internet cafe to play games with us lately. He's been secretly studying behind our backs and got first place in the grade. He's such a hateful person. I'm going to study hard too and knock him off his throne..."
“Lu Mingfei… he wasn’t like this before. I’ve known him for six years. If we exclude the first year of high school, and go back a bit further, Lu Mingfei in junior high wasn’t actually as completely decadent as he was in the first year of high school…”
"Lu Mingfei is a complete ingrate! Like father, like son; there's not a single good person in the Lu family."
"..."
These are the impressions Xia Mi obtained from some of Lu Mingfei's close associates.
Most of the time started in junior high school, because Lu Mingfei only started boarding at his uncle's house in junior high school and then went to Shilan Middle School, where he stayed for several years. During this period, Lu Mingfei more or less settled into his surroundings.
However, in the past year, Lu Mingfei's personality suddenly changed drastically... This also happened during the period when Xia Mi noticed Lu Mingfei.
Due to the tight schedule and heavy workload, and the need to handle everything properly without revealing any flaws, Xia Mi only asked some people she knew.
