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

Chapter 232 'Hosting Lu Mingfei at the Competition'

Speaking is an art for Chinese people.

In principle, there is no; generally, it means that there may be.

Like most foreign companies, students in the Kassel College system typically communicate primarily by phone and text message, with slightly more formal communication recorded via email. The internal "Night Watch Forum" serves as the communication software, and the official version of the private inbox allows not only one-on-one chats but also group chats. All on-campus clubs have created groups on it, such as the Executive Committee, Watt Alheim, the Heat Team, and the Veterans Association.

Previously, on the CC1000 express train, Chu Zihang connected to the internal network, downloaded the 'official version' of the Night Watchers discussion forum, and browsed through the recent club-related documents.

Both logically and emotionally, Chu Zihang intends to represent the Lionheart Society and participate in this Freedom Day.

He has always accepted his position as the president of the Lionheart Society, especially since he obtained the powerful technique 'Bloodlust' from the Lionheart Society's library.
This time, Chu Zihang returned to Kassel College with winter clothes.

His main purpose was to uncover the secrets of the society's library. He planned to spend some more time there to see if he could find a way to alleviate the 'blood rush'—he had recently decided he didn't want to continue making deals with the devil.

Because of friends, because of Xia Mi.

Bloodlust is a path of no return, and Chu Zihang knew this from the beginning.

Once you step in, your life will begin its countdown.

The dragon spirit, hidden deep within their genes, will slowly surpass the human spirit, until it degenerates into a Dead Servant.

He used to be willing to give up everything for revenge, but now it seems he has found something more valuable in life.

However, there was no need to say these things to Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi, lest they worry.

...But if Lu Mingfei knew what Chu Zihang was thinking, he would probably immediately give him a thumbs up.

I have to say, you're a real genius.

Lu Mingfei has recently stopped admitting that he is a kept man.

To a large extent, it is because,

If we're talking about people who live off women, then this guy is the one.

……

A moment later, in the dormitory.

Chu Zihang roughly explained what a 'day of freedom' meant.

After thinking for a moment, he simply handed over the phone, which displayed the Night Watchers discussion forum with the ID 'Murasame'.

Lu Mingfei was slightly taken aback. He had heard of this forum several times before. He glanced at the pinned posts and felt a surge of heat.
"Damn it! I knew that guy was no good!"

He finally understood why Chu Zihang thought he could 'abandon' his connection to this day of freedom.

This is clickbait!
What's this all about? Senior brothers serving tea and water to their buddies, and buddies pointing their swords at the fake emperor Gattuso...

Well, although they do share some similarities in essence.

Especially the latter. One of the important reasons Lu Mingfei made this trip to Kassel College was to see Caesar Gattuso. He had heard of the general's name for a long time and wanted to investigate him thoroughly.

...But I really didn't intend to do it in such a damn way!
It's as if General Lu is leading 800,000 elite troops back to the capital to report on his duties.
And most importantly,
That bastard Fingel actually dared to open my box!?

Is there no law anymore?!
"Is this American-style campus... really this free?"

Lu Mingfei clicked on the bottom post, his lips twitching uncontrollably.

It really does contain a detailed record of his past journeys, including many details he himself had almost forgotten, which were actually dug up by the paparazzi.

Chu Zihang remained silent.

To be honest, after two months of peaceful life by the sea, he was a little unaccustomed to the 'madness' of Kassel.

However, Chu Zihang paused and then said:

"I have to go to the assembly point. The air raid siren just now means that the day of freedom is about to begin. Junior brother, if you don't plan to... go and point the sword, you can rest in your dormitory for a while."

"Okay, go ahead, senior brother."

Lu Mingfei waved his hand, secretly making up his mind.

He really wasn't interested in the so-called 'day of freedom'; it really felt like playing house.

But that joking bet was quite interesting.

"By the way, senior brother, do you think it's better to win with 'yes' or 'no'?" Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.

"This……"

Chu Zihang paused for a moment as he was leaving the house. "You can decide for yourself."

Among the series of posts pinned by Fingel.

...That 'YES or NO' sign was put on hold the moment they arrived at the academy.

Lu Mingfei finally understood why the paparazzi would occasionally show a sinister smile while in the car.

By the close of betting, the pro-war faction on the right, including students from all grades who had been incited, as well as those who were skeptical of his position on the school board, had wagered a total of nearly $20.
Meanwhile, the surrender faction on the left, mainly those who "swore to oppose Caesar's dictatorship to the death," wagered a total of $35000. Eighty percent of this came from Fingel's last gamble, while the remaining twenty percent was mostly from Susie.

That makes it very difficult to maintain composure.

Lu Mingfei had heard a little about what happened between Senior Brother Chu and Su Xi.

But I always felt like I couldn't beat that possessive and despicable dragon king.

In addition, Lu Mingfei seemed to have vaguely seen some strange posts.

For example, considering the scene of Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei jumping aboard "Army One" in a harmonious manner, and Su Xi's recent strange behavior as the vice president of the Lionheart Society,

It seems some busybodies are planning to serialize a series of fanfiction on a specific theme...

But anyway.

Lu Mingfei felt that this money should not be allowed to be earned so easily by Finger.

More importantly, this triple agent must be made to experience the true taste of nuclear weapons.

Come and go without indecent!
……

"MOVE! MOVE!"

A squad in blue combat uniforms was moving through the birch forest to the south, their hard military boots treading silently over fallen leaves and dead branches, making almost no sound.

Each soldier in this unit was equipped with a Uzi submachine gun, spare magazines and Friga grenades on their waists, and military daggers and pistols strapped to their thighs.

They were fully armed.

It's worth mentioning the Friga hand grenade.

This thing was made by the Equipment Department of Kassel College. It was derived from the Friga bullet. It was originally an alchemical bullet that would quickly shatter and vaporize when it hit a target. It would not hurt people, but would only leave blood-like marks. The active ingredient was a special anesthetic mixed in with it, which would make people fall into a coma immediately. It was usually used as a tranquilizer.

However, grenades work differently from bullets, primarily using a combination of fragmentation and shockwave for lethality.

The experts in the equipment department simply replaced the metal fragments with the material of Frigg bullets.

As for the shockwaves and such, let them be.

The core argument is that since the fragments hit the target and the anesthesia takes effect, there will be no pain afterwards. Therefore, it is considered a safe weapon.

The unit advanced steadily through the shadows of the treetops, its target the dormitory building at the edge of the horizon.

Lancelot breathed calmly. As a veteran member and former president of the Lionheart Order, this was his third time participating in the 'Reboot Version' Freedom Day event.
He's a die-hard Harry Potter fan and has always felt that Freedom Day is a bit like Gryphon and Eagle School vying for the Kassel Cup.

As for why the student council is called the Eagle School, it's because Caesar actually owns a falcon named Anthony, which he posts on social media every summer... and Caesar himself is a true hawk, wielding that black card that can never be swiped, constantly adding bricks and tiles to the student council.

In the previous two instances, Lancelot lost to the student council led by Caesar.

However, he did not lose to Caesar in terms of individual strength.

Rather, it's because as times have progressed to this day, the word 'faith' is often difficult to mention anymore. The traditional Lionheart approach no longer works. While following dogma asceticism may be cool, it's definitely not as cool as champagne pools, luxury cars, beautiful women, or even stepping on the old king to ascend the throne for young people.

On Caesar's very first day at school, he used his wealth to instigate this struggle through the student council.
From the percentage of members in the top 10 list of grade-level performance evaluations, to the number of awards won in various competitions, to the number of times they received excellent performance in classroom quizzes.

In these traditional areas, Lionheart still has an advantage due to its long-standing tradition, since most of its members fit the definition of a 'good student'.

Only on 'Freedom Day'
In the competition of large-scale group operations, the Lionheart Society has suffered two consecutive defeats.

This is unacceptable to Lancelot.

After all, thanks to the special nature of Kassel College, 'combat' is the only measure of excellence. All other courses and competitions are merely accumulations for the final 'combat' stage.

However, with the injection of a large amount of funds into the student union, the enthusiasm of the club members, the venue, and the level of activities have been raised one after another. At the same time, Caesar used an absolute voice like an emperor to bind the whole group together into an iron plate.

More and more freshmen and neutral students are attracted by Caesar's personal charm and the generous conditions he offers.

With the rise and fall of the Lionheart Society, it is entering a period of transition.

If nothing changes, this year may become a turning point, symbolizing that the Lionheart Club, a long-established powerhouse, will be completely surpassed in every aspect by the young elites.

At that time, if the elite group in the entire school were all associated with the student council, with few members of the Lionheart Society, even Principal Angers, one of the original founders of the Lionheart Society, would probably feel ashamed.

To be honest, Lancelot was under a lot of pressure.

But change is often difficult; neither approach is feasible when it comes to funding or leadership.

The former is inconsistent with the traditions of the Lionheart Society, while the latter, to be honest, shows a very obvious difference. It was slightly better during Lancelot's time, but the situation has worsened since the current president, Chu Zihang, took office.

Therefore, the only thing to do is to focus on honors, for example...

Give it your all.

Winning this 'rule change' means a final victory for Freedom Day.

……

"Positioning, defining the goal."

"Continue positioning!"

"Thermal imaging shows that the target is still in the dormitory building in Zone 1 and has not moved."

Meanwhile, in the red oak forest to the north, an armed squad dressed in red uniforms was also advancing with their backs bent.

They came from the student council, and their leader was the head of the mountaineering department.

Their destination was the same as the team to the south: dormitory building in Zone 1.

That's right, it's somewhat different from what Chu Zihang thought.

Before he logged in to reply to the message,

This "One Day of Freedom," fueled by a certain paparazzi king and with Caesar's approval, has abandoned the past model of direct confrontation between the red and blue sides, and has become a "true gold fears no fire" project.

"Is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar?" Caesar said.

Faced with the heated discussion on the forum and the highly aggressive headlines.

Instead of getting angry, the proud blond man generously offered to invite the young school board member to the student union for tea to discuss the concept and guidelines for the all-round development of students in the new era.

Of course, Caesar also stated that,

On this joyous day of Freedom Day,

Presumably, the school board member will fully respect the Kassel College tradition that the students have worked hard to build, and will be happy to spend some time relaxing with them.

As a result, the new rules were quickly introduced.

It's still a competition between the Lionheart Club and the Student Union, but instead of a 50 vs 50 live-action CS game to see which side can stand to the end, it has become a battle for the 'hospitality rights' of the school board member.

The criteria for determining victory or defeat are simple: whoever arrives at their designated location first with the assigned objective wins.

During this period, the entire area designated by Kassel College can become a battlefield, where any means necessary can be used to achieve the objective, provided that no major casualties occur...

As long as we bring Lu Mingfei, this 'guest,' back.

Of course, we can continue to use CS terminology, which is to say, the deathmatch mode has been changed to a hostage mode.

Look at them, no wonder they have such a talented student council! They're quick-witted.

This novel and interesting competition format immediately garnered widespread praise.

This would both showcase the local strength of Kassel College and give the new board member a hard time, while also preventing him from saying anything if he got hurt or injured during the process.

Who can blame them when this is a day of freedom that the students have worked so hard to win?

After all, the young school board member, Mr. Lu, planned to make a fuss at Kassel College, whether it was about enrollment or winning people over, so he naturally couldn't stand against the students.

This is what it means to naturally occupy the rightful place of righteousness!
In order to ensure that the competition is fair, open, reasonable, and beyond reproach.

A series of supplementary clauses were finalized within half a minute.
This includes detailed division of battlefield areas, number of participants, and competition times, plus a published list;

The regulations include eight provisions, such as prohibiting the use of live ammunition during the invitation period and strictly forbidding disruption to the normal lives of participants who are not participating in the activities.
Invitations must be polite, everything is based on the personal wishes of the school board member, and there are even strict standards regarding the cost of meals for entertaining guests...

The half-minute public notice period was declared valid with over 720 people's 'confirmation'.

Student Council President Caesar, Lionheart Club Vice President Lancelot, and Susie jointly completed the signing.

The event, which had lost its suspense due to the high probability of Chu Zihang's absence, has once again stirred the students' nerves.

After all, Caesar claimed that if Chu Zihang did not appear on the battlefield...

Then he would not participate in the battle or command, leaving his ministers to fight against the lions led by Lancelot.

However, the only thing that can be predicted is...

Regardless of whether the Lionheart Society or the Student Council emerges victorious, the new school board member will naturally be at a disadvantage in terms of prestige.

The bet proposed by Fingel naturally resulted in a win for the 'NO' side.

unless……

What kind of shocking thing will School Chairman Lu do then?
