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

Chapter 38 When will these days ever end!

The doctor was a seemingly normal middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses. Before he even spoke, his thinning hair and receding hairline gave Lu Mingfei a considerable sense of security.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Mingfei couldn't hold back anymore.

"Doctor, please don't scare me! I'm easily frightened!"

Lu Mingfei was so nervous that he swallowed hard. The worst possible scenarios were already flashing through his mind. He even prepared a time machine and had arranged the background music for "Yi Jian Mei" in advance. The whole process was smooth and seamless.

"Could it be that I have contracted some incurable disease?"

"Huh? No, you misunderstood."

The doctor adjusted his glasses and studied the report repeatedly. "Based on a comprehensive assessment of your physical data, it's definitely not related to an incurable disease."

"Oh……"

Lu Mingfei breathed a slight sigh of relief. He still had so much of his life to enjoy; how could he possibly collapse here? If he were to die from this, it would truly be a tragedy that the heavens were jealous of his talent!
"It's just completely detached from common sense," the doctor added.

"This is clearly worse news, okay?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

"What do you mean by completely deviating from common sense? Does my body have undergone some unknown mutation, making me no longer like a normal human being... or something like an alien?"

Doctor, please don't tell me any 'good news' next, and then say that this condition should be named after me!

If he weren't still completely powerless, Lu Mingfei would have jumped up.

"Not at all."

The doctor shook his head, placed the large stack of test reports on the table, took off his glasses, sighed, and rubbed his forehead. It was as if he had encountered some difficult problem that required consulting a mentor or "studying a medical book thicker than a dictionary."

At this point, his sparse hair and receding hairline became less reassuring. How rare and serious must a problem be to cause such a headache for doctors?

"Doctor, just tell me straight. Whether I stick my neck out or not, I'll still get stabbed. You might as well just give me a quick and clean end instead of keeping me hanging like this!"

Lu Mingfei's patience finally ran out; he would rather be thrown into the oil than become a fish on a cutting board.

"Then shall I just say it directly?" the doctor asked tentatively.

"Tell me, I can handle it!"

"Okay, then you should prepare yourself... Do you want to take some blood pressure medication first?"

"No need, doctor. Do you think I'm the kind of person who has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar? It's already a miracle I'm not malnourished," Lu Mingfei said.

"Alright, then I'll tell you. Your body, all the data, are..."

The doctor put on his glasses and looked at Lu Mingfei solemnly, his eyes filled with pity and sorrow, as if he were about to pronounce a death sentence on him at any moment.

"It's normal."

A deathly silence fell over the office.

After a long while, Lu Mingfei finally reacted and asked seriously, "Doctor, are you short of this year's quota for medical disputes?"

"what?"

This time it was the doctor's turn to be taken aback. He paused for a moment before realizing what was happening and waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, no, it's my fault, I didn't explain clearly. What I meant was, all your physical data are too normal, so normal that you're like an ordinary person!"

"Isn't that obvious? I'm not an ordinary person, am I some kind of superhero? Want me to show you a heat vision sweep or an icy breath?"

If Lu Mingfei could move, he would definitely be slamming his fist on the table right now.

"But how could you be an ordinary person? Aren't you a hybrid? This Commissioner Chu just told me that you used Word of Power, but it's not clear yet whether it's Word of Power: Moment or Word of Power: Zero..."

The doctor was completely bewildered by Lu Mingfei's confident words.

Lu Mingfei blinked. "Hybrid" and "Word of Power"? He didn't know anything about that.

Moreover, he had promised Chu Zihang that he wouldn't tell anyone the details of tonight... So he tried to roll his eyes and look at Chu Zihang, who had been silent all along, but because of the angle, he could only see a little bit of his clothes.

He is currently sitting in a wheelchair, and to prevent his neck from drooping due to exhaustion, he is wearing a neck brace specifically for those with stiff necks.

Chu Zihang lowered his eyes, noticed this scene, reached out and moved Lu Mingfei's head to help adjust the angle, before looking at the doctor: "Tell me in detail."

"Okay, because of the urgency and your request, we only did a routine physical examination at first. Palpation, auscultation, observation of external injuries, tenderness, electrocardiogram, etc., and found nothing abnormal."

Subsequently, given that Mr. Lu's most obvious symptom was general weakness, we performed an expedited MRI and CT scan, as well as a BIA... and that's when the problem arose.

"That's perfectly normal. The muscle shape, density, body fat percentage, and mass are all within the range of an average person! It feels like a short-term side effect of an average person suddenly exceeding their exercise intensity."

The doctor said, "But after a hybrid's bloodline awakens, their physical abilities will be extraordinary, let alone to the point of being able to use incantations. Therefore, I suspect..."

He glanced at Lu Mingfei and said in a heavy tone, "During this operation, Mr. Lu may have been affected by some unknown spiritual influence, which led to a comprehensive decline in his physical condition."

A discrepancy has occurred between the brain's neural pathways and the body's physical conditions, resulting in short-term symptoms of general weakness.

This situation is rare, but not impossible, given that many unknown incantations remain undiscovered. As for whether there are deeper implications, it's unclear at this point, unless we are allowed to conduct further examinations, such as a blood test…”

"No." ×2
Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang said in unison.

Chu Zihang's refusal was inevitable; he had even made this request from the very beginning. He had already realized that something seemed amiss with Lu Mingfei, and this "abnormality" absolutely could not be revealed to anyone else before it was clarified.

Lu Mingfei's reason for refusing was even simpler: he knew very well why his physical data was normal... because he was perfectly normal to begin with!

For a husky to accidentally infiltrate a wolf pack is already quite an achievement. If, after a check-up, it's found that everything else is normal, and he's a perfectly normal human and not a "hybrid," who knows what might happen!

He's a "normal person," yet he can use "word magic"? A lab slide might be arranged immediately.

"I understand, I understand..."

The doctor chuckled and dropped the suggestion; in his view, it was perfectly normal. After all, an executive officer was a high-ranking figure, and the level of confidentiality was extremely high; blood samples couldn't be drawn for testing so casually.

"Overall, apart from the data being too similar to that of an 'ordinary person,' there's nothing wrong with him. His physical condition is very good; the exhaustion is just temporary, and he should be fine after a period of rest."

The doctor said, "If you're still worried, you can be admitted to the hospital tonight for a check-up. If there are no problems by tomorrow, it means you're stable. After that, come back every three days for a check-up to assess your muscle recovery."

"it is good."

Before Lu Mingfei could speak, Chu Zihang agreed on his behalf.

……

For the convenience of care, Chu Zihang requested a VIP double room reserved for executive department specialists, with a private bathroom, about the size of a three-bedroom apartment, and equipped with various medical devices.

According to Lu Mingfei, all that's missing is a kitchen where they can cook.

Lu Mingfei's exhaustion came on suddenly but subsided quickly; he was now able to move around with some difficulty without the wheelchair. This avoided an awkward situation—

He was soaking wet and needed to change his clothes and take a shower, otherwise he would definitely catch a cold and fever. If he still couldn't move, he would have to ask someone else for help.

Chu Zihang didn't seem to mind, but Lu Mingfei did!
He wouldn't even agree to have a nurse come, as if he were a virtuous woman whose innocent body couldn't be seen by others, otherwise it would be like being defiled.

Moreover, being able to share a room with Senior Brother Chu is already an incredible stroke of luck. If word got out, Lu Mingfei would probably be beaten to death by envious and jealous girls. And if things escalated further...

That means there's probably not even a trace left, right?

"I told you it was nothing, senior brother. I've always loved telling the truth, and I can't stand not telling the truth for a day!"

After taking a hot shower, Lu Mingfei's exhaustion debuff was finally completely removed. He talked while drying his hair, and then bounced around a few times as proof.

Chu Zihang was the first to take a shower, but he simply dried his hair and stood close to the wall, holding his phone and sending a message. He was probably contacting his "superiors," namely Kassel College.

Lu Mingfei was jumping around when Lu Mingfei observed him carefully for a few moments. Only after confirming that he was truly cured and not just experiencing a "last gasp" did he breathe a sigh of relief.

His actions and words reflected this simply—nodding and saying "hmm".

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief; this was the normal Chu Shixiong!

"Speaking of which, senior brother, you're playing on your phone, but why aren't you lying in bed?" Lu Mingfei asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Try practicing your posture while you're at it. I stand for half an hour every night, and it's very good for your spine. I suggest you try it too," Chu Zihang said.

"Forget it, I finally have a little time to relax! I haven't even had a proper chance to use the phone you bought me, senior..."

Lu Mingfei was naturally uninterested in this kind of self-torture training; he had already suffered enough because of his schedule! There was no need to add to his own burden.

Moreover, probably because of the [temporary schedule], the deadly electric shock warning hasn't sounded for a while.

Lu Mingfei didn't know when the schedule would come back to him; all he knew was that he needed to take advantage of this rare time to relax!
So he pounced on his bed, took out his phone from his bag, and excitedly prepared to go online.

Then--

The temporary schedule has been finalized.

[Checking the next schedule...]

[Test complete. It has been determined that the [return home] plan and the [washing up] plan have been completed...]

[Warning: It's time for your [study] session. Please begin immediately...]

Schedule, you son of a bitch! Did you hear me? I'm going to fuck your son of a bitch!!!

[Warning, electric shock countdown...]

The schedule remained silent, only issuing warnings of electric shocks.

It's back, that familiar feeling, everything is back!
Lu Mingfei silently threw down his phone, his face contorted in misery, and pulled out the "53" textbook from his bag, inwardly groaning.

When will this kind of life ever end?

PS: See the author's words ↓
This chapter is 3,000 words! There will be another chapter later.

The plan is this: I'll post two chapters a day, about five to six thousand words each. My sleep schedule is more stable now, and I can write during the day. If I write three chapters a day, I can save up some credits, and the update schedule will be fixed starting tomorrow!

The current schedule is tentatively set for updates at 12:00 noon and 6:00 pm daily. Even if there are some errors, they shouldn't be too significant. We'll start implementing this from tomorrow!
Then, it's time to ask for your monthly votes and continued reading! Your reading and vote data during the recommendation period are extremely important! This book was recommended quite late, and its daily update word count is still higher than other books, which puts it at a disadvantage. I can only make up for it by having everyone read and vote. Thank you for your support!
