A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 258 The Current Status of S-Rank
Chicago, Kassel College Main Campus.

Lu Mingfei acted like a thief, timid and furtive, always quietly stopping at every corner of the corridor.

Peeking out from around the corner, they would stealthily observe whether there were any other Kassel students. If not, they would breathe a sigh of relief and continue walking.

If there are people around, Lu Mingfei will break out in a cold sweat and quickly find another way.

But no matter which way he went, even if he wasn't discovered by anyone along the way, Lu Mingfei eventually arrived at the Kassel cafeteria and ate at this gathering place for students.

Upon seeing Lu Mingfei, many Kassel students immediately turned their attention to him, exclaiming, "Look, look! S-rank! S-rank Lu Mingfei!"

"Are our mighty S-class soldiers pretending to be pigs to devour tigers again?"

"How did you learn Chinese? That's called 'pretending to be weak to eat tiger'."

"Yes, yes, yes, playing the fool to take advantage of the enemy, S-class Lu Mingfei is really amazing! I heard from my uncle that S-class Lu Mingfei fought the King of Earth and Mountain alone in the capital and escaped unscathed!"

"As expected of an S-class that only appears once every few years, possessing the power to face the Dragon King directly! I'm so envious."

Listening to his classmates' discussions, Lu Mingfei felt like crying but had no tears left. He kept complaining in his heart, "This unreliable Lu Mingze has really ruined me!"

What exactly did he do with his body?

He's not pretending to be weak to fool others; he's a real pig!

What happened to the promise of endless glory, power, wealth, and beauties after the much-anticipated dragon-slaying?

Lu Mingfei couldn't see any of these good things.

They could only learn of their glorious achievements from others, how they faced the king of the earth and mountains and survived.

In the eyes of the hybrids, facing the Dragon King head-on was already a very impressive feat. Although it was not as glorious as slaying a dragon, it was by no means inferior.

If they were in charge, they would have become the Dragon King's excrement long ago.

But in Lu Mingfei's eyes, what's all this about? He's just an ordinary loser, not as strong as you all imagine.

Stop praising him, Lu Mingfei is really scared!

What if Kassel College takes it seriously and thinks that's Lu Mingfei's normal combat ability, and then keeps assigning him all sorts of high-difficulty tasks?
What if, in the future, you encounter a mixed-race individual from some powerful force who, upon seeing Lu Mingfei, is awestruck and approaches him seeking guidance (or a challenge)?
Wouldn't he just die on the spot?

They were really ruined by Lu Mingze.

Although Lu Mingze said this time that the deal failed and he wouldn't take 1/4 of Lu Mingfei's life, what about next time?

If the academy assigns Lu Mingfei more high-intensity tasks, or if he encounters challenges from other hybrid factions in the future, how many lives does he have enough to trade?
The current situation is completely contrary to Lu Mingfei's plan to coast through four years of college at Kassel College.

Listening to the various heated discussions among his classmates, and with all eyes focused on him, Lu Mingfei felt extremely uncomfortable.

I didn't dare to eat in the cafeteria at all, so I packed up my food and went straight back to my dorm.

After another round of sneaking around and avoiding people, Lu Mingfei finally made it back to his dormitory. As soon as he entered, he saw his senior, Finger, writing something with great enthusiasm.

The table belonging to Fingel was covered with draft papers, all of which contained content that Lu Mingfei could not understand at all.

Although Lu Mingfei didn't know what Senior Brother Fingel was busy with, he could tell that it was very important to him.

This was the first time Lu Mingfei had ever seen Fingel so serious and earnest.

Well, my senior is going through a critical period right now, so it's best not to disturb him for the time being. Even just smelling the aroma of food will likely disrupt his train of thought.

Thinking this, Lu Mingfei silently closed the dormitory door and carried his lunch to find a place to eat.

His stomach rumbled with hunger, but Lu Mingfei was too lazy to walk much, so he simply ate his meal standing by the window of the third-floor corridor of the boys' dormitory.

Before he could eat two bites, Lu Mingfei, taking advantage of his elevated position, looked out the window and saw his senior, Su Xi, visiting the boys' dormitory.

And to make matters worse, when the window of a dormitory room on the second floor was opened, a bucket of sewage was spilled out.

"Be careful..." Lu Mingfei, who was chewing food, didn't have time to warn her and could only watch helplessly as the sewage poured towards Senior Sister Su Xi.

Fortunately, Susie seemed to have anticipated this scene. She walked at a steady pace, neither speeding up nor slowing down, and didn't even raise her head as she entered the dormitory building.

They perfectly avoided that huge bucket of sewage, not getting a single drop poured on them.

A question mark slowly appeared on Lu Mingfei's forehead. Did Senior Sister Su Qian see it? Did she perfectly calculate her speed to avoid getting wet? So she continued walking normally? Or did she not see it at all?

Little did anyone know, Susie had truly foreseen this minor misfortune. After the previous battle in the capital, Susie had largely consumed the Lucky One potion and had summarized a new rule for playing her role.

After that, it became even simpler. All Susie needed to do was pick up money a few more times in front of Lu Mingfei and Caesar, making them say things like, "Susie is so lucky."

The remaining Lucky One potion was quickly and completely digested amidst the sighs of the two high-ranking individuals.

Yesterday, Angry led the students back to the academy, and Susie had already taken a potion and successfully advanced to Sequence 6 Calamity Priest.

At this stage, Susie's former good fortune is gone, and she will spontaneously attract disasters and suffer frequent misfortunes. However, her precognitive abilities are also greatly enhanced, allowing her to foresee each disaster and avoid or mitigate its impact in advance.

They can also deliberately invite disasters during battles, relying on their own foresight and luck to avoid them, and use these disasters to deal with their enemies.

Finally, he also gained an extraordinary area-of-effect ability—Mental Storm, which stuns or mentally impairs enemies within its range.

It can be said that only now has Susie truly acquired the extraordinary abilities that she can use against enemies and that belong to her own sequence.

Lu Mingfei glanced at it a few more times, quite puzzled: "I remember Senior Su Xi, she was almost hit by a senior's car last night, and almost got splashed with sewage today. She's been having some bad luck lately."

As Susie slowly climbed the stairs, she felt a slight joy in her heart. The potion was clearly starting to be digested, which meant that her approach was correct. She should have deliberately brought bad luck to Lu Mingfei and Caesar.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to keep up with Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang returned to the academy yesterday, but he didn't rest for a moment. It seemed that he was under pressure from Mr. Error's Sequence 3 strength. As soon as he returned to the academy, he went to the Execution Department and started going out to do missions.

Digesting the conspirators.

Strangely, despite Professor Schneider's strong opposition, Principal Angers unusually granted Chu Zihang's request and officially promoted him to squad leader of the executive department, allowing him to go out on missions.

Susie couldn't understand why Principal Angers had changed so much, but she trusted Chu Zihang and had Principal Angers' support.

After digesting the schemers, you will definitely be able to advance rapidly on your subsequent path.

If she doesn't work hard now, she might fall behind again in the future, which is something Susie cannot accept.

"Senior sister?" Lu Mingfei, who was eating by the window, saw Su Qian walking up the stairs and quickly greeted her.

Susie snapped out of her reverie and nodded gently: "Have you seen Chu Zihang?"

"No, Senior Brother Chu went on a mission to the Execution Department." Lu Mingfei was very envious. He also hoped that there would be a girl who had eyes for him and would frequently take the initiative to come to the boys' dormitory to find him.

Unfortunately, it was just a thought. Lu Mingfei quickened his pace, swallowed the food in his mouth, and gave a formal answer: "If I see Senior Brother Chu come back, I'll tell Senior Sister on my phone."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Susie knew that Lu Mingfei was hiding a secret and might be connected to some mysterious entity, so she used the ability of the Sequence 8 machine to control her words and actions and not show any suspicion.

It was like meeting a friend and casually asking, "Why are you eating here?"

"Ah." Lu Mingfei also expressed his concern when this was mentioned: "It's because of Senior Brother Fingel. I don't know what he's researching. It seems to be very important. He's even skipping his meals."

Susie understood; they must be preparing to officially revive EVA, right?

At the last gathering, after the members speculated about the secrets of Lu Mingfei and Caesar's high status, just as the meeting was about to end, Fingel said that he had created the secret technique: Don't Die.

It is said that this secret technique comes from Lu Mingfei's Word of Power: Do Not Die, and has miraculous effects on the regeneration of the body and flesh. It is said that with the help of this secret technique, it is possible to revive Eva.

After being promoted to arcane master, Fingel had gained more knowledge about the soul, so he applied to be allowed to attempt to revive EVA before the group mission of faking the incubator.

Of course, Fingel also said that before his official resurrection, he would first divine the location of Chen Motong's mother.

Mr. Fool promised Brother Fingel, and even said that if he encountered difficulties during the resurrection, he could pray. Mr. Fool was truly a very kind and generous being.

It is wonderful that the old church has such a priest.

"I understand." Susie said and turned to walk towards Chu Zihang's dormitory.

This piqued Lu Mingfei's curiosity. Hadn't he already told Senior Sister Su Xi that Senior Brother Chu had gone on a mission?

"Um, Senior Sister Susie, Senior Brother Chu..."

"Don't worry, I won't look for him." Susie turned around and smiled sweetly. "I just saw that he wasn't here, so I was planning to go to his dorm and help him clean up."

"So sour..." Lu Mingfei watched Su Qian leave, then suddenly smacked his lips. The cafeteria lady must have added too much vinegar today; the food is so sour it's unbearable.

I have no appetite and don't want to eat.
