A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 212 Susie's Wild Dream

The cafeteria at the main campus of Kassel College was bustling with activity tonight. Many students who don't celebrate the Lunar New Year in their home country came to try some dumplings and experience the festive atmosphere.

Not to mention Lu Mingfei and the others, who were having a wonderful time eating.

"The taste of home." Lu Mingfei and Fingel sat facing each other, their mouths greasy with the dumplings. Thanks to this meal, their resentment towards Kassel for not having a holiday for the Spring Festival was greatly reduced.

Kassel College operates on a one-off-per-year system, with summer vacation only in July and August, and a three-day break around Christmas. Otherwise, students are required to study on campus or do internships off campus.

Finger couldn't understand Lu Mingfei's feelings; for him and most Kassel students, Christmas holiday was the custom.

Lu Mingfei noticed that his senior brother wasn't eating very enthusiastically, much slower than usual, which was unlike Fingel.

Thinking back to when we had late-night snacks before, my senior brother Fingel, if not wolfing down his food, at least had the hearty way of gnawing on a German pork knuckle.

Now they're eating dumplings in two bites each, something's clearly wrong: "Senior, are you having some kind of problem?"

"Huh?" Fingel snapped out of his daze at Lu Mingfei's question and immediately nodded: "Yes, as you know, a lot of people have been writing to me lately, asking about alchemy."

This is a lie used to appease Lu Mingfei.

Because Master Alchemist Fingel's reputation was so widespread that it resounded throughout the global mixed-race community, even Xia Mi, the Dragon King, had heard of Fingel's name.

Therefore, the Sequence 6 Scholar's potion was digested very quickly, and it was completely digested a few days ago. Fingel had some dragon blood material for advancing to Sequence 5 Mystic Master, but the ritual stumped him.

When Fingel prayed to Mr. Fool, he was told that the ascension ceremony required finding a special kind of being in the spirit world—the Shadow Bookworm.

This is a strange creature that is both harmful and not life-threatening.

The Shadow Bookworm's true form is a book of shadows, and every strange, unknown word on it is a bookworm.

Bookworms absorb the knowledge of extraordinary beings, extract it, make the extraordinary beings forget this knowledge, and finally gather all the extracted knowledge into their own books.

Those who wish to reclaim their knowledge must destroy the Shadow Book's true form.

The specific advancement ceremony requires finding a spirit creature to erode and extract the extraordinary person's knowledge during the advancement process.

Fingel didn't know much about the spirit world, but he knew it would be very difficult, so he went to Chen Motong to ask about it.

After all, Chen Motong was one of the few extraordinary individuals that Fingel could contact within the church and who had been promoted to Sequence 5.

Chen Motong first congratulated Fingel, and then talked about his Sequence 5 ritual, which also required finding a certain spirit bird, but later Mr. Fool helped him and replaced the advancement ritual.

Fingel then realized that there was a way to cleverly replace the emotional advancement ceremony, which was why he had been struggling with this issue recently.

Should I use my long-saved contribution points to ask Mr. Fool for help in place of the promotion ceremony?

If I don't get promoted, I can't revive EVA. Promotion costs contribution points, and when I need to revive EVA, I won't have enough to ask the cult for help.

With the weekly gathering fast approaching, Fingel must make a decision quickly.

So in the past two days, Fingel's life has been affected, and he hasn't been eating as heartily as he used to.

As for the letters from other hybrid factions? They're irrelevant; they're just minor issues that Fingel could easily resolve.

Lu Mingfei truly believed it. He had personally witnessed how major mixed-race forces around the world were actively sending letters to Fingel, and the sheer number of problems they had were enough to weigh a pound.

Those were handwritten letters, just a few light sheets of paper, but when all the major powers gathered together, they weighed several pounds. You can imagine how much they coveted the so-called Word Spirit Alchemy: "Senior Brother."

"If you can't think of anything, then don't think about it for now. Today is a good day, so eat more and be happy, that's the most important thing."

At Lu Mingfei's table, they were trying their best to comfort Fingel, hoping that their senior could regain his good mood and become the spirited academic star he used to be.

On the other side, Chen Motong naturally sat with Su Qian, but Su Qian also brought Chu Zihang along, saying it was a coincidence. Chen Motong poked at the dumplings with her chopsticks and jokingly teased Su Qian, "Not bad luck."

It's just good luck that Chu Zihang was able to run into him right after returning from an execution mission.

This is a joke, but it's also true.

Not long ago, after the competition that surrounded Kassel, Susie's performance in the competition deepened the impression of the major forces on the Susie Machine, which allowed Susie to successfully digest the potion and advance to the Sequence 7 Lucky One.

As the name suggests, lucky people don't have any other extraordinary abilities or significant improvements in their physical condition; their luck simply increases dramatically. Finding money while walking, winning the lottery, and meeting someone they like when they go out are all as natural as breathing.

Susie rolled her eyes at her best friend without responding. She knew in her heart that the more she responded, the more excited Chen Motong would become.

Seeing that Susie wasn't responding, Chen Motong's lips curled slightly, his smile quite mysterious: "By the way, Chu Zihang, you don't know yet, do you? Susie's dream last night was quite interesting... um!"

Before she could finish speaking, Susie quickly stuffed a dumpling into her mouth: "Nono, do you want to try dumplings with wasabi?"

This Nono is getting more and more outrageous. Ever since she was promoted to Dream Walker, she has been visiting other people's dreams every night. Seriously, what's so interesting about that?

Don't you know how to respect privacy?!
Susie felt a little embarrassed when she thought about her dream last night.

Don't get me wrong, it's not some shameful, erotic dream.

On the contrary, the content is more wild, about Chu Zihang being in a life-or-death crisis while on a mission, and then the powerful Su Xi miraculously appears and saves him, leading to a beautiful dream of love.

Seeing the two best friends interacting, Chu Zihang couldn't get a word in edgewise, so he simply looked around and asked, "Where's Caesar?"

"Hmm..." Chen Motong chewed and swallowed the dumpling: "I'll be here later. Last time, Caesar was stimulated and went crazy trying to become stronger."

“I don’t know what he’s busy with every day. He’s been eating later than usual. I go over to him from time to time to comfort him and make sure he doesn’t have any mental problems.”

"We're all friends now, so I won't try to read his mind unless it's absolutely necessary."

Chen Motong is indifferent to other people, but she is quite restrained when it comes to mind reading when she is with her friends.

"Drip!"

While they were chatting, all five of their phones beeped with text message notifications. When they picked them up, they saw that they were from Norma.

Principal Angers invited them to his office for a chat and asked them to help him pack some dumplings from the canteen to take to Angers and Caesar.

At the end of the text message, Norma thoughtfully added a parenthetical note saying that they could also pack whatever they wanted to eat and bring it over.

"What's going on?" Lu Mingfei's face fell. Not only was there no holiday for the Spring Festival, but he also had to go to the principal's office?
Even though he was originally a loser, after being exposed to Kassel for a long time, Lu Mingfei keenly sensed that trouble might be coming his way again.

At the other table, Chen Motong and Su Qian exchanged glances and quickly shook their heads.

Susie probably wanted to ask if Angers would want to settle scores later?
When Kassel was surrounded by four mixed-race forces and was in imminent danger, Angers suppressed his suspicions about them and prioritized rescuing them.

Now that the siege has been lifted, would this principal want to settle scores?

Chen Motong denied it, saying that the text message said to pack food for Angers and Caesar, so it must be something else, otherwise Caesar wouldn't have been there.

Chu Zihang lowered his voice: "It's okay, the gathering is about to start, we'll talk about it at the meeting."

The three exchanged glances, quickly ate a few bites, packed their own food, and headed to the principal's office.
