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

Chapter 65 Everything is Under Control (3.5K)

The basketball, which was hit by the rim, bounced off the inside of the hoop, went through the net, and bounced towards Ye Sheng, who was standing on the center line.

The three basketballs returned to the three players one after another, without them even having to move an inch.

Silence descended upon the entire basketball court.

Ye Sheng was naturally stunned.

He can easily stand at one end of the basketball court and put the basketball into the basket at the other end. For a mixed-race person, as long as they have proper control and some experience, doing this is as simple as eating and drinking.

But he knew without even trying that creative "one-ball-to-two-basket" move that Lu Mingfei had just executed was something he absolutely couldn't do!
Coincidence? Unlikely. Word magic? He didn't see the golden eyes...pure technique?
Even Chu Zihang was somewhat surprised. As Lu Mingfei's mentor and teacher in basketball, he believed he had a good understanding of Lu Mingfei's current level—he could score with his eyes closed within the first half.

But what just happened obviously cannot be explained by "hitting the bullseye every time" alone; it must have required a perfect calculation of force and trajectory!
Just as the two of them fell silent, Lu Mingfei spoke up—

"If I used this trick to pick up players, wouldn't I easily earn over a hundred a day?"

He held the ball in one hand and put the other on his hip, his words filled with joy at the possibility of achieving his goal of "earning over 100 yuan a day".

The somewhat tense atmosphere on the field was easily shattered by a single careless remark.

Ye Sheng was stunned. He never imagined that someone with such basketball skills would still want to be a pick-up player... or even just earn a little over a hundred yuan a day.

Chu Zihang remained expressionless, long used to Lu Mingfei's tendency to spew out trash talk. If his schedule could measure his "tolerance for trash talk," it would be at least LV3.

"...Hello, Lu Mingfei, I am Ye Sheng."

Ye Sheng snapped out of his daze, smiled, revealing his pearly white teeth, and took the initiative to greet Lu Mingfei, extending his hand, "Executive Specialist, Foreign Cooperation Division, National Bureau of Anomalies Investigation."

"Oh, hello, I'm Lu Mingfei, a senior high school student at Shilan High School..."

Lu Mingfei shook hands with Ye Sheng and asked with some doubt, "National Bureau of Anomalies? I remember my senior said you were from Kassel College."

“I studied at Kassel College for my undergraduate degree and returned to China to start working after graduation. In fact, the vast majority of Chinese students at Kassel College follow this process.”

Ye Sheng explained with a smile.

"The matter of hybrid races cannot be made public for the time being, as stipulated by the convention. However, the national strength of different countries varies, so it is necessary to unite to deal with dragon-related issues."

Our country certainly doesn't lack people or strength, but information and intelligence about dragons can still be shared to a certain extent, and there are also advanced experiences from abroad that we can learn from and absorb, so we established an international cooperation division.

The International Cooperation Division can be considered, to some extent, the Chinese branch of the Kassel College Executive Department, but we do not take orders from the Kassel College. We operate on an equal footing and only obey the National Bureau of Anomalies…”

"I understand, I understand. Cooperation is mutually beneficial and win-win, but the core principles remain unchanged!"

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized.

"Yes, that's what it means."

Ye Sheng nodded, walked to the side of the court, and picked up a silver-white metal file box. "Look at this pattern."

"This is……"

Lu Mingfei stared at the exquisite pattern for a while, and it seemed strangely familiar.

"A banyan tree?"

"A banyan... tree?" Ye Sheng was stunned.

"Isn't that right?"

Lu Mingfei was a little puzzled, "It looks a lot like the trees I saw along the way when I ran here..."

Ye Sheng subconsciously turned his head to look out the window... and it really did seem so!

"That is the World Tree."

Chu Zihang walked over. He knew very well the destructive power of Lu Mingfei's bizarre thought process on normal people. It was normal for Ye Sheng not to be able to adapt for a while.

"The cosmic tree in Norse mythology, which supports the nine worlds, symbolizes life, order, and connection. As an emblem, it can only be drawn simply, so it is more similar to the image of a banyan tree with a broad canopy and a well-developed root system."

"right……"

Ye Sheng glanced at Chu Zihang without leaving a trace.

Is this the rumored cold-faced, ice-cold Lionheart Club president?

No, being a cold-faced iceberg is fine.

Before this, Ye Sheng and Chu Zihang had played basketball here for an hour. Each time, Ye Sheng would talk a lot and rack his brains for topics, while Chu Zihang would just dismiss them with a few words…

The problem is Chu Zihang's attitude towards Lu Mingfei!

Ye Sheng chose to keep this discovery to himself for the time being, and then he spoke.

"Ahem, let's continue. This is a banyan tree... no, it's a world tree! A world tree in its prime, with lush foliage. This is the emblem of our International Cooperation Division."

If you see a half-rotten World Tree, that's the emblem of the main campus of Kassel College, and also the school's crest.

"Why use something half-rotten...isn't it for a good omen?"

Lu Mingfei was somewhat confused.

"Shouldn't it be normal to use fully lush plants?"

"..."

Ye Sheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Your statement is exactly the same as what our Director of the Bureau of Abnormal Investigations said when he was selecting badges for the Department of Foreign Cooperation..."

"Great minds think alike," Lu Mingfei remarked.

Ye Sheng: “…”

This was the first time he had ever seen someone so self-aggrandizing, and with such an air of self-righteousness!
Ye Sheng felt that something was wrong; it seemed that he had completely fallen into Lu Mingfei's rhythm, so he decided to cut his losses quickly.

"In conclusion, we sincerely welcome you to join Kassel College and, upon completion of your studies, to work in the International Cooperation Division of the National Bureau of Anomalies."

This time it was Lu Mingfei's turn to be stunned. He was stunned for two seconds before he reacted.

"Hey, how did the topic suddenly jump to this? Weren't we just introducing the badges?"

This is like a shell company randomly picking someone off the street, telling them the company name, and making that person the legal representative. Then it's a complete service: the company absconds with the money, and the legal representative goes to jail!

"It's not that serious... If you don't want to go to Kassel College, there are actually mixed-race universities all over the country."

Ye Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead. He hadn't broken a sweat playing basketball for an hour, but he was forced to sweat during his conversation with Lu Mingfei. "However, I still recommend you go to Kassel College."

"why?"

"Because your parents are honorary alumni of this school, they have been in contact with the principal, Angers, and expressed their hope that you will study at Kassel College in the future. Moreover, I am here today with the mission of inviting you to study at Kassel College."

Ye Sheng opened the file box and took out a brown paper file bag. "This is the contents of the letter."

Lu Mingfei was stunned when he heard his parents' names.

He took the letter. It was short, printed, probably an email, and contained exactly what Ye Sheng had said.

But Lu Mingfei still watched for a long time.

He receives a letter from his parents every six months, with the same content: "The plan to return home to visit has to be postponed," "There has been new progress in archaeological research," and simple greetings that are hardly meaningful.

At first, he really wanted to ask some questions, such as "What exactly are you researching?", "If you don't have time to contact me, I can come to you during my vacation.", "At least attach a few photos so I can see what you look like"... but there wasn't even a mailing address on the website, so he had nowhere to reply.

Over time, Lu Mingfei himself gave up.

He thought that maybe his parents were really a superhuman couple who traveled all over the world but never came to China, and that one day when his life was hanging by a thread, he would see them descend from the sky.

Lu Mingfei just didn't expect the news about them to come so suddenly.

"So, the archaeological research they're talking about is... studying dragons?"

Lu Mingfei asked, his tone surprisingly calm.

"My permissions are limited, I don't know."

Ye Sheng glanced at Lu Mingfei cautiously. He felt an emotion flowing from the boy's heart, making him feel a little...heart palpitations.

Lu Mingfei didn't know what was wrong with him. It was as if those emotions had been building up inside him for a long time and had never been released.

He felt a little uncomfortable, but his subconscious told him that if he rashly released it, the result would definitely not be good.

At that moment, a strong and powerful hand landed on his left shoulder. Lu Mingfei felt a weight on his shoulder and turned his head to see that it was Senior Brother Chu.

Chu Zihang didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly, expressionless, but his meaning was already very clear.

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt the pent-up emotions dissipate as if they were smoke. He quickly regained his composure, sniffed, and asked, "If I'm willing to join Kassel College, do I want to go now?"

"No, Kassel College is a legitimate university. You can even find the application process online for the general public. It's just that those without a bloodline will be screened out... In short, you will officially join after you finish high school. Everything is legal and compliant."

Ye Sheng explained.

"Of course, you can also transfer to the preparatory class of Kassel College at Peking University High School before the start of the new semester."

"Forget it then."

Lu Mingfei waved his hand, somewhat guiltily erasing the images of Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang from his mind.

"My main question is... if I agree to join, will I be considered one of us and able to use some resources? Whether it's from Kassel College or the National Bureau of Anomalies, it's fine!"

"resource?"

Ye Sheng was stunned for a moment, then became alert.

"Although we are hybrids, we must still abide by the law and be good citizens. Privileges can only be used reasonably when dealing with dragon-related matters. We cannot consider ourselves superior and must abide by the Three Main Rules of Discipline and the Eight Points for Attention..."

"No, no, you've misunderstood!"

Lu Mingfei quickly interrupted Ye Sheng's fluent recitation of rules and regulations, "I encountered something a bit unusual and wanted to investigate someone... Senior brother should know!"

Chu Zihang nodded: "That transfer student who wants to live with you?"

"Yes, she definitely had an ulterior motive for approaching me, although I couldn't figure it out... but thinking about it, it's obvious that a girl as rich and beautiful as her wouldn't fall for me for no reason! So I pretended to be attracted by money."

Lu Mingfei shrugged, ignoring the fact that he had indeed been confused at the time, and felt a little smug.

"I must say, senior brother, your reaction was really quick; you and I worked together perfectly!"

Chu Zihang remained silent.

Can he say that he didn't actually realize it at the time, and only agreed because of his gossipy nature, and only realized it afterward?

Of course not!

"If that's the case, it should be fine. I just need to submit an application. As for Kassel College, that's even easier; we should be able to find it soon."

Ye Sheng smiled.

“It might be hard to say if it were someone else, but Lu Mingfei, you are different... You may not realize how important you are.”

"I?"

Lu Mingfei was taken aback. "Importance?"

"Correct."

Ye Sheng nodded.

"Your information has actually been in the archives of Kassel College and the Bureau of Anomalies since the day you were born, and it is classified as 'top secret'."

All of this is because of your bloodline rank—S!

……

the other side.

Are you sure you've got it sorted out?

Jiude Mai looked at Su Enxi with some suspicion.

"Of course, it's a small matter."

Su Enxi disdainfully stuffed potato chips into her mouth.

"How could a little white rabbit be so obedient as to enter the nest? I expected this! As long as there are no problems with the 'three-no girl' side, let them investigate. I'd love for them to investigate... Everything is under control!"
