Dragon Clan: I am Lu Mingfei, the Intelligence Strategist, the God of Concepts!

Chapter 16 'Zone' Status, Going to Your House After School

It was evening, around the time school let out.

A dark blue Porsche Panamera was parked at the school gate. Its body was long and low, like a sleeping leopard.

Just as the students passing by were wondering whose new car it was, that it was so tasteful.

Lu Mingfei pushed through the crowd, opened the car door, and got in.

Inside the car, Chu Zihang sat in the driver's seat, still looking like a student from the daytime, with a face with clear features, a broad forehead, a straight nose, strong eyebrows, and a pair of warm black eyes.

Seeing Lu Mingfei get into the car, Chu Zihang nodded slightly as a greeting, and then said:

"You seem very happy."

"Hehe, of course I'm happy! This is the first time someone has come to pick me up after school, and in such an awesome car!"

Lu Mingfei looked around in the back seat, his expression a mixture of surprise and excitement.

For so many years, I've always gone to and from school alone. I've never even owned a Passat, let alone a Porsche. Just now, when I opened the car door after walking through the crowd, the way people looked at me was incredibly satisfying.

It was as if the cringeworthy scenes I'd fantasized about for years had suddenly become reality.

"Oh, by the way, what did you want to see me about, senior brother?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Let's go to your house," Chu Zihang said, starting the car.

Then he gave an address, down to the apartment building number, which was the home of Lu Mingfei's uncle and aunt.

"Is it inconvenient?"

Chu Zihang suddenly noticed that Lu Mingfei's expression was strange in the rearview mirror.

"No...hehe, why does Senior Brother suddenly want to go to my house?"

Lu Mingfei chuckled dryly, unconsciously swallowing.

"The college's investigation isn't over yet, and the assessment results need to be complete, so we need to go to your place and take some photos," Chu Zihang explained.

"Oh, oh, oh! Hey, it's nothing!" Lu Mingfei suddenly realized, slapped his thigh, and thought to himself, it's all Liu Miaomiao's fault, she almost corrupted me!
"Uh, that..."

Lu Mingfei suddenly became shy, "Senior brother, can we find a place to eat first?"

"I studied hard this afternoon, so I got hungry pretty quickly," he said sheepishly, his stomach rumbling in response.

This is not an excuse to use studying.

According to Chu Zihang, after the bloodline awakens, the five senses will also awaken, just like a person who has been nearsighted for many years puts on glasses, and the whole world will become exceptionally clear.

This ability to perceive the outside world can also be reflected in learning ability to some extent.

For example, the researchers inside the 'Ice Cellar' at Kassel College—the advantage of these hybrids lies not in combat, but in their exceptional intellect.

At the time, Chu Zihang thought that since Lu Mingfei might have awakened the 'Word Power Prophet', it should also be in the direction of clerical work, and it shouldn't be difficult for him to learn it with half the effort.

Lu Mingfei understood.

In online gaming terms, it's like he now has an extra permanent double experience card compared to others!

It would be a waste not to practice!

So he took the advice and tried it in chemistry class.

I kept repeating to myself, "I have a strong learning ability," and "I'm incredibly smart now"...

Believe it or not, it actually works.

Lu Mingfei realized for the first time that the teacher's speech actually sounded like Chinese!

As his attention became more focused, he gradually entered a state similar to 'Zone' in anime.

All the surrounding noises became hazy, as if the whole world was only filled with the teacher's voice. The words he uttered were broken down into countless tiny units, and then transformed into 'knowledge nutrients' that could be understood and absorbed.

The result is……

He not only mastered all the knowledge points mentioned in that practice paper, but he could even expand on them.

You should know that before, Lu Mingfei wouldn't have been able to understand divergent thinking at all.

If a teacher says more than 15 words in a sentence, by the time the teacher gets to the last 5 words, the first 10 words are almost completely forgotten.

The teacher's voice during the second half of the class would sound to him like the whispers of a demon.

Lu Mingfei was greatly encouraged by the feeling that he could remember what he saw and get feedback after learning!

He listened attentively to the entire lecture, more attentively than ever before.

A full 90 minutes!

When the bell rang and the chemistry teacher seemed to stagger away, Lu Mingfei finally exited 'Zone' mode, feeling a surge of exhilarating relief.

But there's a price to pay... I'm hungry again.

Moreover, his hunger was even greater than before. Lu Mingfei suspected that if he didn't eat something within half an hour, he might starve to death on the spot...

"Okay, let's eat first then." Chu Zihang, without suspecting anything, asked, "What would you like to eat?"

"Anything is fine... as long as it's nearby and filling, preferably cheap, because I... don't have much money left," Lu Mingfei said awkwardly.

"it is good."

Chu Zihang nodded...

...but it seemed to be an Arabic nod.

Because the Porsche turned left, it headed towards the landmark of the CBD area – the Binhai Building.

Strictly speaking, the Binhai Building is not a single building, but a commercial complex consisting of four buildings and a sky bridge connecting them.

It boasts a full range of shopping and dining options, occupying the best location in Binhai City, right next to the famous five-star Regent International Hotel.

For a wealthy heiress like Su Xiaoqiang, the Binhai Mansion is naturally paradise.

But if it's Lu Mingfei...

Even if he took out all his possessions, it probably wouldn't be enough to pay for the parking fee.

Seeing Lu Mingfei get out of the car, his legs trembled as if he could barely move.

"It's my treat." Chu Zihang smiled slightly.

……

A few minutes later, at Jin Yan Japanese BBQ restaurant,

"Holy crap, it's really fake!"

Lu Mingfei held the menu in one hand and a pencil in the other, his eyes trembling slightly.

The prices listed on each page of the menu seem to rival the "signature dishes" of those small shops outside.

In the coastal area, even barbecue restaurants where the average cost per person is only 30 or 40 yuan will feature large, colorful snowflake beef dishes and imperial seafood platters on the first few pages of their menus.

Lu Mingfei always felt that since the day the store opened, it was highly likely that none of those signature items had ever been sold...

After all, where in the world are there so many innocent people who would spend hundreds or thousands of yuan to order a large bowl of artificial ice and then get a few pieces of meat as thin as cicada wings as a bonus?

Or is it that those seafood actually live in the Arctic, and putting them in ice is like adapting to local customs, thus making them more expensive?
but now……

Lu Mingfei felt that sitting here, he seemed to be on the verge of becoming a source of resentment!

It's so hard to swing that pencil!
"Have difficulty making a choice?"

Chu Zihang's expression remained calm. From his perspective, Lu Mingfei had maintained the same posture for a long time without changing.

"Uh, no, it just felt a bit expensive..." Lu Mingfei said dryly.

He actually wanted to suggest going to another restaurant, like the braised pork intestine rice downstairs from his house that costs 15 yuan a serving, which was quite good. Maybe he wouldn't be that hungry and could hold out for a while longer.

Although Chu Zihang said he would treat, and according to the intelligence panel, he had the financial means to spend money in such a place.

But Lu Mingfei felt from the bottom of his heart that he shouldn't have let his senior brother spend so much money... especially now that his appetite was in such a terrifying state.

"Have you heard of this shop before?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked.

"Um……"

Lu Mingfei looked somewhat dejected.

The founder of this restaurant is said to have studied at Rokkasen, which was ranked number one in Japan for five consecutive years. After returning to Japan, he opened this yakiniku restaurant that targets the middle and high-end market. A normal meal here costs four or five hundred yuan per person.

He knew this because his cousin Lu Mingze insisted on going when the business opened last year.

Later, his uncle and aunt took his cousin to go on a Monday. When Lu Mingfei came home from school that evening, he heated up some food for himself.

Then, when he passed by earlier, he took a second look and brought him in.

"Are there any dietary restrictions?" Chu Zihang asked.

"……without."

"Then let's give it a try." Chu Zihang pressed the service bell.

A well-dressed waiter approached with a smile: "Is there anything you need, sir?"

"Please order, one of everything except drinks."
