Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 153 Will Lu Mingfei be better than Caesar? (4.2K)

The pale white sky gradually blurred until a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and fell into the cracks in the ground where there was still some frost, scattering a golden hue all over the ground, slightly dazzling.

Another new day.

For the students of Shilan Secondary School, this means that a habit they developed in just ten days will be fulfilled.

In the endless stream of exam papers during the senior year of high school, the mental satisfaction gained from the numbness is far more precious than the physical satisfaction of eating a steaming hot breakfast when you're starving!
Shilan Secondary School, Campus Forum.

A pinned and highlighted post, posted by our "frontline reporter" who used to be the first to arrive at the classroom every day but is now the third, appeared right on time at the top.

[Confident and Ready! No prize for guessing! How long will it take Lu Shen to finish the combined science exam?]

The post remained simple and direct, featuring only one photo, a familiar angle, and a familiar person.

Foundations of Physics

Although physics is included in the upcoming science comprehensive exam, high school physics and university physics are two different concepts.

Lu Mingfei clearly had no intention of reviewing at all, and could certainly be described as having a clear plan!
The reason for guessing the exam time is simple—the glorious feat of Lu Mingfei completing the math exam in ten minutes yesterday afternoon has already spread.

If this were any other protagonist, it would just be considered a publicity stunt, but the problem is, it's Lu Mingfei!
This former loser is now a road god. All his deeds over the past ten days seem to be proving one thing—nothing is "impossible" for him.

Upon hearing this, most students' first reaction was, "This isn't the first time he's done something outrageous."

Of course, Lu Mingfei has never done anything as outrageous as finishing an exam paper in ten minutes.

But who could blame them when so many people witnessed the proctor standing next to Lu Mingfei and observing the whole process, and then heard what the proctor said afterwards?
We are still human beings, and we should be reasonable.

Even the most outrageous things are only reasonable if "God" can do them, right?
The only problem is that I don't know how many points I need.

Even students who were very close to the teachers, to the point of being like brothers, couldn't get an answer when they asked. It seemed that the teachers had secretly conspired to keep quiet about the matter whenever asked.

Someone did contact "our station's frontline reporter," wanting to get Lu Mingfei's answer sheet directly from him (he used the same trick again after the math exam and managed to photograph it).

However, our "frontline reporter" insisted on waiting until the exam was over and the results were released before announcing them.

All parties involved kept it a secret, seemingly determined to give the onlookers a big surprise.

The onlookers aren't stupid; they naturally know that Lu Mingfei definitely didn't do badly on the exam, otherwise he wouldn't be in this situation... But just how good was he?
Now they can smell the rich aroma of braised pork ribs simmering in a big pot, and they know it's a good dish, but they can only wait until the chef finishes reducing the sauce and lifts the lid when it's time to find out exactly how good it is.

I'm itching to do something, but I'm helpless!
"You can't possibly finish a science exam in ten minutes, can you?" someone said.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Ten minutes for math is only slightly slower than copying answers. Let's not even talk about the science subjects; even biology alone couldn't be solved in ten minutes!"

Someone objected.

"Don't forget the time Lu Shen spent on the Chinese exam. Although it was already fast, it was still within the normal range. Based on this phenomenon, I made a reasonable deduction—Lu Shen is so strong that he knows the answer just by looking at the question, so all that's left for him is writing!"
Mathematics mostly uses numerical symbols, but subjects like language arts and biology require writing a lot of words, which inevitably leads to time loss.

"I agree with the comment above. So now the only question everyone has is how long it will take for Lu Shen to get here, right? I'll guess less than an hour and a half!"

"Half an hour!"

"One hour……"

Then a new comment popped up: "Brothers, don't rush to discuss this. Have you guys seen that super popular beauty on Facebook recently?"

"Don't go off-topic! Wait, I'm too lazy to use a VPN, let me post some pictures of pretty girls first!"

……

"A chosen one of heaven, a chosen one of heaven indeed!"

Fingel stuffed the last piece of pork knuckle into his mouth, then grabbed a wet wipe to dry his hands, his eyes fixed intently on the laptop screen.

"Your tone doesn't sound like you're talking about a 'prodigy,' but rather a 'future sugar daddy.'"

A voice came from the seat opposite.

"Fingal, are you looking at that person's latest information?"

Fingel's expression froze; he seemed to have gotten a little too carried away and blurted it out... But it didn't matter, he had a trump card!

He tried to project the authority of a "senior brother": "Ahem... How dare a junior sister speak to a senior brother who is a lower grade? And even make malicious speculations!"

"The senior who delayed graduation by four years?"

Nono raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the girl next to her. "Have you heard of it?"

"Haha~" Shude Aki laughed softly, with a kind of sisterly warmth.

The three were in the dining car on a train traveling from Chicago to New York. Their itinerary was to travel from Chicago to New York, avoiding the areas severely affected by snow disasters, and then fly directly to China.

In such extreme snowfall, not only are regular flights unable to take off, but even Amtrak, Chicago's most reliable ground transportation system which usually has snow removal measures in place, experienced unavoidable delays.

But Principal Angers has always adhered to one principle: "If a problem can be solved with the Board of Trustees' money, then it is not a problem."

So the train departed as scheduled. And aside from essential staff, there were only three passengers!

Two words: arrogant and domineering.

Anyway, it's not my own money I'm spending!
"And I also bought your $100 'S-level information,' but as far as I know, that's not the case. It seems you were selling fake information?"

Nono forked a piece of codfish cake, as if she had seized someone's weakness.

"What happened to the promise of tenfold compensation for fake products? Surely the head of the news department isn't so untrustworthy?"

"This...this...Senior sister, senior sister! Please, you are so magnanimous, you can forgive your junior brother this time!"

Fingel bowed and scraped, but unfortunately, his imposing physique made it difficult to evoke any pity.

"Are you kidding me? What would I need US dollars for if calling my senior sister was useful?"

Nono flashed a beautiful but unfriendly smile, revealing her pearly white teeth. "I'll give you two choices: one, split the profits fifty-fifty..."

"Two, two, I choose two!!!"

Fingel was in so much pain, as if this blow would kill him.

"Tsk."

Nono smacked her lips lightly, reached out her hand towards the computer, and beckoned.

Fingel respectfully handed over the laptop.

"This is……"

Nono checked, "Shilan Middle School Campus Forum?"

“Just a tiny bit of hacking skill…” Fingel said smugly.

"Well, as the head of the information department, your intelligence gathering ability is commendable."

Nono nodded, quickly scanning the key information, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"Learning-related Words of Power?"

"Such a terrifying speed...it is indeed very possible." Shudeya also curiously joined in to watch.

"There's really nothing to see here! High school level knowledge is child's play, I could do that too!"

Fingel quickly changed the subject, "I have some information that you'd be even more interested in!"

"Oh?"

Nono cast a suspicious glance at her. "I feel like you already have a complete money-making plan, but the core of this plan is Lu Mingfei, and you're worried that we might want a piece of the pie..."

"About Caesar!" Fingel, sweating profusely, interrupted again. "Caesar?"

"Yeah……"

"What does it have to do with me?"

Nono's tone was unusually indifferent.

The carriage fell silent for a moment, with only the continuous snowflakes falling like cotton wool outside the window.

"Then...about you?" Fingel carefully chose his words.

"Oh, I'm interested in that."

Nono's mood was just like a real "little witch," completely unpredictable. At this moment, she was excitedly looking forward to it again, "Let me see?"

"Do you remember the day before yesterday when the school used an NH90 TTH transport helicopter to pick you up from the street?"

Fingel retrieved the computer and was quickly redirected to a webpage.

"This went viral, initially spreading widely on Copains d'avant and MSN Messenger in France, and then on Facebook..."

He moved the computer screen back.

It was a photograph taken from an excellent angle. The helicopter was pulling up, and the girl calmly hanging on the rope ladder with a red suitcase, along with the crowd of people looking up below, created a wonderful composition!
Her long, dark red hair, billowing in the wind, partially obscured her face, revealing only her eyebrows and eyes, making it impossible for strangers to see her full features, but those who knew her could recognize her at a glance.

"These photos are really beautiful!"

Nono's eyes sparkled. "What's this photographer's name? I want to book him for the whole trip next time!"

"The point isn't whether you look good or not! The point is you're famous, you know? Even though your face hasn't been revealed due to pixelation and obscuring, you're still famous..."

With the speed of information dissemination online these days, probably hundreds of millions of people already know that a beautiful girl gracefully departed in a helicopter in front of tens of thousands of people! Do you know you've become the dream girl of countless people? You're even called a redhead goddess!

"Judging from your tone, it's as if I need to feel deeply guilty."

Nono shrugged indifferently, "Come on, I've always been the dream girl of all the guys around me since I was little, it's just that there are a few more this time."

"Yes, I certainly understand that you don't care about this."

Fingel thought his attempt to change the subject was quite successful; "The key point is under that Facebook photo..."

He clicked on the comments section.

"Pinned comments? Does Facebook have this feature?"

"There wasn't one before, but what features are there that money can't buy for the company to expedite?"

Finger circled the key point: "The important thing is the content—the content of this comment and the commenter's ID!"

So Nono and Shudeya looked over and saw that it was a comment posted by someone with the ID 【DIctator】.

"You all have good taste in appreciating my girl. She truly shines like a star, and only someone equally outstanding can be worthy of her."

One passerby commented below: "Do you mean you're good enough?"

【DIctator】: "Of course."

"What if there's someone more outstanding than you?"

[DIctator]: "That's impossible, because I will only ever be the best."

【DIctator】 is a transliteration of the Latin word meaning "dictator," referring to a non-permanent high-ranking official during the Roman Republic.

As students of Kassel College, they naturally knew that this was Caesar Gattuso's ID on the Night's Watch forum. And Nono was Caesar's official girlfriend.

"Wow……"

Shude Aki couldn't help but exclaim, "What a domineering statement! Nono, what do you think? Your boyfriend is saying in front of the whole world that only he is good enough to be with you!"

"I'll just sit and watch..."

Nono didn't react much, maintaining her calm tone, but she suddenly paused halfway through her sentence, as if a brilliant idea had flashed into her mind.

“I think she’s going crazy,” Fingel said earnestly to Shudeya.

"Hey, what do you guys think? Could that S-class freshman who didn't enroll, Lu Mingfei, be even more outstanding than Caesar?"

Nono's eyes flickered. "I kind of want to slap him in the face!"

……

"I think she's about as pretty as the Little Fairy!"

The slightly loud discussion nearby interrupted Lu Mingfei's "flow" state.

He glanced at it curiously and caught the key word... Little Fairy?

Are they talking about Su Xiaoqiang?
[Warning, electric shock countdown...]

With only a few minutes left before the exam, Lu Mingfei lost all interest in getting back into study mode. He got up and went to the restroom.

The electric shock warning then stopped.

Of course, he still needs to "learn" at this time, but it's not the kind of focused state of flow; instead, he needs to allocate some attention to recalling knowledge he has already learned and mastered...

But accidents always happen. When Lu Mingfei got up, he inevitably moved his chair, making a noise that attracted the attention of the group of people who were discussing the matter not far away... They exchanged a glance and made the same choice without prior agreement.

"Road God, Road God!"

Several people gathered around and followed, which startled Lu Mingfei.

"what happened?"

Lu Mingfei broke out in a sweat... This wasn't something that could be solved by "doing two things at once," it required "doing three things at once"—walking to the toilet, thinking about studying, and dealing with these people all at the same time!

Lu Mingfei can usually manage to multitask, but to do three things at once... that would be a real challenge!

"This girl! Lu Shen, what do you think of her looks? Compared to Little Fairy!" Someone held a phone close to his face.

"Let me see."

Lu Mingfei couldn't just dismiss him, so he carefully scanned the area—the helicopter, the rope ladder, the girl with dark red hair, and the crowd of protesters below…

"The face in the photo is hard to see, it's just so-so."

He answered seriously.

"It's mainly because the composition is beautiful, but it definitely can't compare to Su Xiaoqiang's."

[Warning, electric shock countdown...]

Oh no, we've missed two out of three warning opportunities!
"I need to use the restroom, excuse me..."

Having finished answering the question, Lu Mingfei squeezed out of the encirclement and sped away.

Only a group of boys were left, looking at each other in bewilderment. They had been discussing it for a long time, but the point of contention had always been "whether she is prettier than Su Xiaoqiang"... Unexpectedly, Lu Mingfei's words "just average" and "definitely not as pretty" directly sealed the deal.

Therefore, it is only natural.

A new pinned and highlighted post appeared on the Shilan Middle School forum moments later.

[Lu Shen bluntly stated that the red-haired goddess is just average, definitely not comparable to the Little Fairy!]
