Chapter 59 Bloodline

In other people's eyes, Lu Mingfei is a character who rises like a comet, progressing from a weakling to a well-rounded warrior, and now he has become the boss that all students are struggling to overcome.

A true scholar should be viewed with new respect after three days of separation.

However, the system still felt a bit disappointed. Chu Zihang's initial advantage was too great, leaving a stereotype in the students' minds. Now, the students only compare him to Chu Zihang, without creating the sense of the "Twin Heroes of Shilan" or the "former king's farewell."

As for combat training, after two days of trial training, Mai Shude gave Chu Zihang a high evaluation, feeling that there was nothing more she could teach him. Chu Zihang, the young swordsman from the palace, already knew how to kill the enemy; he just lacked some practical experience to fill in the gaps in his knowledge.

Lu Mingfei felt that given Chu Zihang's personality, he wouldn't be satisfied with this answer, which was almost a compliment.

And just as he expected, Chu Zihang's heart sank when he learned the answer.

When Mai asked him where he learned his skills, he replied that he was taught by a Japanese swordsmanship master at the Children's Palace, for which he paid 2000 yuan in tuition. This answer surprised Mai.

Then Chu Zihang asked Jiu Demai what her chances of winning were if she faced Odin.

"?"

"Me?" Mai pointed to her face, feeling that her face wasn't that big. "Against Odin?"

"Mm." Chu Zihang nodded.

Mai Shude said with a serious expression, "If I were to face Odin, I would likely be at a slight disadvantage."

"Almost?" Chu Zihang felt that her answer was a bit off. Whether it was almost a win or almost something else, it was not appropriate to continue.

Mai nodded, her expression grave: "We might have narrowly missed escaping successfully."

Chu Zihang fell silent. It was true that Jiu De Mai had nothing left to teach him, but that didn't mean he could defeat this woman. On the contrary, he was completely suppressed in the battle, just like Panpan, who toyed with him like a cat playing with a mouse.

His struggles as a weakling actually looked like a form of coquetry.

Even if his limit is high, it probably won't be much higher than that of Shude Mai. Shude Mai might have almost escaped from Odin's clutches, which is the same as him almost escaping from Odin's clutches.

In a game, what's the point of even playing? In a professional match, you're guaranteed to lose at the very least. I could do it myself!

The human body is still too weak... Dragon blood... Chu Zihang silently sheathed his sword and plunged into the company library.

At school, Zhao Menghua was practically grinding his teeth as he watched Lu Mingfei, who was focused on his studies with a blank expression.

He thought that after sending Chu Zihang off in this year's college entrance examination, he, as the crown prince, could ascend the throne. Who knew that Lu Mingfei, who had been silent for a year, would suddenly start to exert his strength and pull him down as the crown prince.

If he were just a top student, that would be one thing; if he weren't handsome, he certainly wouldn't be that eye-catching. But Lu Mingfei also started to focus on his clothing and appearance.

Chu Zihang was the one who started this trend in clothing and fashion. While his classmates were still chasing after and comparing themselves to other students wearing big international brands, Chu Zihang was already wearing a British-style scarf from a niche, high-end British brand that even many of his wealthier classmates had never heard of.

The female students immediately felt that Chu Zihang had a very gentlemanly air about him...

Having something that others don't has is a key aspect of luxury goods, instantly elevating their perceived status.

The system is also researching things like a sense of sophistication, but Lu Mingfei doesn't have much of a vision, so he has to go through fashion magazines and such.

When Su Enxi arrived at Tulong Company, she saw him flipping through fashion magazines and felt a little strange. "What are you looking at?"

The system said calmly, "Learn more about luxury goods and broaden your horizons. It would be even better if it could bring some changes to my appearance."

"Regarding the change in appearance, perhaps I can offer some advice." Su Enxi took off her glasses and placed them in front of Lu Mingfei. "But luxury goods, do you mean this kind?"

"What is this?" The system hadn't noticed the glasses Su Enxi usually wore either. Glasses are such common things, and they're also quite small, so few people would pay special attention to them.

"Lotos, the world's most expensive eyewear supplier, was founded in 1872. Their products include watches, eyewear, and jewelry. All their eyewear is handmade and generally made to order. Their most expensive pair is adorned with 44 diamonds and costs approximately 50 euros, equivalent to over 500 million RMB. The buyer was a Swiss woman. Besides that, they also have high-priced eyewear ranging from around 10 to 20 euros." Su Enxi casually remarked, "Luxury goods are too abstract; they're often used to match status. To say they're really that good, I feel they're just average."

The most important thing is that it fits. These gold-rimmed glasses look expensive on me, but on someone like Fang Yucai, people will just think they're fake.

Lu Mingfei felt that Su Enxi had really pulled off this look. It was just an ordinary pair of glasses, but who would have thought that it was worth hundreds of thousands of euros?

Who would believe that a Bentley was being worn on someone's face? But this is something Su Enxi is capable of doing.

"But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your style of dressing, does there?" Su Enxi put on her glasses and looked Lu Mingfei up and down.

Lu Mingfei's outfits were still based on the set customized by Su Xiaoyan. Although Su Xiaoyan only helped him choose two sets of clothes, he could copy them with the style template system, so his usual attire was not bad.

"Perhaps it could be better?" the system said.

“Then you need a little help.” Su Enxi cautiously probed, “As we all know, mixed-race people with bloodlines are almost always handsome men and beautiful women. Although you are not bad either, with the bloodline enhancement, you might be even better?”

After meeting Panpan, Lu Mingfei did not attempt to replicate the bloodline in himself. At least, their boss, who was watching Lu Mingfei, never noticed any changes in him.

She quietly asked the boss, who shook his head.

Words of power can only be discovered when needed, but something as tangible as bloodline can't just appear out of thin air when needed, can it?

Their boss didn't believe he could misjudge the situation this time.

"Bloodline..." The system paused for a moment.

The system has only learned the power of words and not bloodlines. Besides the uncertainty and risks associated with bloodlines, another reason is that Lu Mingfei, who has mixed with dragon blood, might experience a change in his stance.

Because in the future, dragon blood will definitely replace human blood. How will Lu Mingfei deal with that?

Therefore, when the system raised the Dragonblood version of the Ship of Theseus paradox, Lu Mingfei did not give a precise answer.

However, since they could use the power of words even without bloodline, Lu Mingfei and the system didn't consider the issue of dragon blood.

Asking a question does not necessarily mean solving it.

The system did not answer this question, but asked Su Enxi, "What brings you here?"

Su Enxi is a complete homebody; she basically stays inside the Regent Hotel and rarely comes out, let alone head straight to their Dragon Slaying Company.

Chapter 60 They treat you like a good friend, but you want to…

“Panpan’s bloodline is very stable, but we still need to observe her for a while. She will be returning to China in at most half a month. Where should we put her? Who will take care of her?” Su Enxi asked.

They actually returned the people? The system hasn't asked about this for the past few days, just watching their performance, since whether the dragon blood can be suppressed is also a question.

However, Panpan's return is also a good thing. It can be used to cover up his alchemical skills. If others ask, they will say that Panpan is a child prodigy. Alchemical weapons, bloodline purification that Chu Zihang has been longing for... Panpan can complete all of these.

As for Panpan, she is to be trained as a trusted confidante. Although she is still young and cannot be of much help at the moment, she can only be sent to elementary school to learn some knowledge first. However, the most troublesome stage of raising a child is when the child will make a fuss. Panpan does not have the troubles of a normal child, and taking care of her will not cause any trouble.

Without hesitation, the system said, "Enroll her in a primary school nearby. I'll take her there first."

"Mm." Su Enxi nodded, but didn't ask about Panpan's household registration or anything like that. She'd be too useless to ask for permission for such trivial matters.

"How about we re-register her household registration and change her name? I asked her what name she wanted, and she said she's not very knowledgeable and wants you to come up with one."

“Hmm…” Lu Mingfei paused for a moment when he said this. In the system’s eyes, naming things was meaningless. It was just a code name. It would be better to just call him Yi Yi… Lu Mingfei stopped the auto-play and logged into the account to say to Su Enxi, “Let’s not mention the old name. Do you want to keep the character ‘Pan’?”

Su Enxi shrugged and said, "You're the boss, so you make the decisions."

If I make the decisions and something goes wrong, then I'll have to take the blame? Lu Mingfei immediately thought of this, and in that instant, he seemed to feel the pressure of being a leader.

As someone who dwindles under pressure, his first reaction to feeling stressed was to shift blame… But after thinking about it, he said, “I’m so young and I haven’t even considered naming my child yet. Let me think about it some more. Is there anything else you need?”

"No more," Su Enxi shook her head.

“I have more,” Lu Mingfei said. “Panpan’s Samadhi Fire can’t be used directly as alchemy, right?”

Let alone the Samadhi Fire, even the enhanced version of the Heaven and Earth Furnace cannot be used directly as alchemy; it can only smelt iron and cannot be refined.

But Lu Mingfei didn't actually have heaven and earth as his furnace.

The rapid deciphering of the Samadhi Fire may be due to the fact that the furnace of heaven and earth is a large-scale version of the Samadhi Fire, essentially using the Samadhi Fire to burn.

Panpan didn't advance in rank even after transforming into a dragon, which might be related to the purity of her bloodline. Her bloodline purity was insufficient to support the furnace of heaven and earth to burn.

Possessing super-powerful words inevitably makes one a super hybrid, like Xia Mi. Her current problem is that her bloodline ratio is too low. If her bloodline ratio were increased, she would definitely advance to a super hybrid.

This is a matter of bloodline purity, not bloodline ratio. No matter how big a second-generation dragon's body is or how much dragon blood it has, it can never become the first-generation dragon king.

“Mm.” Su Enxi nodded.

"Is there any way to directly use it as alchemy?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Alchemy is a wonderful thing, but it encompasses too much; the Samadhi Fire and the concept of using heaven and earth as a furnace to forge metals are just one branch of it.

The system can learn alchemy very quickly. Basic alchemy can be learned by simply flipping through a book. However, apart from metals that can be processed by the heavens and earth, other aspects such as matrices and alchemy are not enough to support the advancement to advanced alchemy.

Su Enxi felt that Lu Mingfei must have learned Panpan's Samadhi Fire and started to learn alchemy. She frowned, lowered her head and pondered for a while, then gently shook her head: "Perhaps not."

"That's okay."

We still need to figure it out slowly...

Just then, Xia Mi skipped down from upstairs with a book in her hand and said to Lu Mingfei, "Lu Mingfei, I found it!"

"What did you find?"

"The reason why you can become a dragon but not a dead servant!" Xia Mi placed the open book in front of Lu Mingfei, pointed to a line of text with her slender, fair finger, and read aloud: "If you are not killed or your dragon blood goes out of control after being infected by the blood of a pure-blooded dragon, you will gain immunity to dragon blood toxicity and dragon blood loss of control!"

She was clearly investigating Panpan's matter.

"So, Panpan came into contact with pure dragon blood?"

Lu Mingfei was somewhat puzzled.

There are two conditions that might be difficult to meet: first, dragon blood is extremely poisonous and can easily kill someone who comes into contact with it; second, where would one find pure dragon blood to give her?

Pure dragon blood is a rare material. Large families and powerful forces might have some in stock, such as dragon blood crystals. But Panpan, a little girl who ran away from home, obviously doesn't have the means to access such things.

Su Enxi dared not utter a sound, trying her best to keep a straight face, afraid that she might accidentally reveal a flaw.

Because neither of these two issues is a big problem for the boss, or even for Lu Mingfei. Xia Mi's Dragon King blood is pure enough, right? Xia Mi's active nurturing can guarantee a 100% success rate... It's not that she hasn't received professional training, but sometimes people just can't help themselves...

“That’s possible…” Xia Mi nodded, although she herself thought it was outrageous, and could only say that this possibility only existed in theory.

However, the only reason Panpan could remain conscious even in that dragon form is her superb alchemy. But there were no traces of alchemy left in Panpan's body. However, she didn't dwell on it, after all, everyone has their share of good luck...

[...It's possible that there's a lone dragon blood, or it could be a bunch? We could try asking...] The system immediately became envious of the dragon blood resources that Panpan might bring.

It also lacks materials for alchemy.

While cooking dinner, the system felt that Lu Mingfei's cooking skills, which had stopped improving, still had room for improvement, so it personally cooked a demonstration for him.

This caused Xia Mi next door to smell the fragrance and follow the scent to knock on the door.

Wearing a scarf, Lu Mingfei opened the door, and she immediately picked up the bag in her hand: "Boss, I think these apples are pretty good, so I brought some to give to you."

Lu Mingfei looked at her in surprise.

Actually, the two of them haven't had much interaction these past few days. Mainly because after the system was moved over, they didn't dare to be too proactive in contacting each other right away, afraid of making things worse. He treats you like a good friend, but you want to sleep with him? That's too much.

If Xia Mi is still wary after entering a new environment, rushing things for a day or two might actually make things more difficult for herself...
