"Miss Zhou Qinghe, let's talk in private." Ye Sheng looked at Zhou Qinghe, who had a faint air of professionalism about her.
Zhou Qinghe raised his voice, lit a cigarette, and found a quiet corner to talk to Ye Sheng in hushed tones.
Seeing her melancholy expression, Lu Mingfei realized she seemed to be having a headache about working overtime during the holiday.
After a while, Zhou Qinghe came over and said to Lu Mingfei, "I heard that your classmate Liu Miaomiao has gone missing. Are you very worried about her? I have a suggestion. Do you want to stay and help?"
Lu Mingfei readily agreed, but was surprised: "Is it really okay to let an outsider like me join so casually?"
Zhou Qinghe shrugged: "I'm in charge of Rongcheng. If there are any problems, come to me. You should also thank Mr. Ye Sheng; he recommended you to me. If you're a member of the Secret Party, then I'll have to think about it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei looked at Ye Sheng, who nodded slightly.
Since Lu Mingfei was not a member of Kassel College, he was considered a neutral party, and Zhou Qinghe could easily hire him as a mercenary.
Lu Mingfei's lineage and battle record could not be hidden from Zhou Qinghe. With a stat monster who could deal high damage with both his left and right fists assisting him, Zhou Qinghe was naturally happy.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya Ji came to Rongcheng to hunt down the cannibal George with Zhou Qinghe's permission and with some official support.
"As for you..." Zhou Qinghe's gaze fell on Chu Zihang.
"I also want to stay and help," Chu Zihang said seriously.
"...I'll reluctantly agree since you're handsome," Zhou Qinghe said after a moment's thought.
She's an openly obsessive person when it comes to looks.
Whether Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaji, who are still on the list, can participate in the investigation of this ancient dragon city depends on the negotiations between Kassel College and the orthodox authorities.
Even if Zhou Qinghe could make the decision, he wouldn't do it this way; why would he create trouble for himself?
Employees should have the awareness of being employees; they shouldn't worry about the boss's feelings unless it's for their own benefit.
Lu Mingfei figured he would be staying at the resort for a while, so he called Xia Mi to let her know.
"Is there something you need, Senior Brother?"
Xia Mi's voice came from the other end of the phone, along with the howling of an unknown creature.
Lu Mingfei: ...?
Chapter 78 Zhou Qinghe: "You are the most extravagant person I have ever met! Lu Mingfei!"
"Xia Mi, what's going on over there?" Lu Mingfei asked, puzzled.
“I’m killing a chicken,” Xia Mi replied. “I was helping out in the kitchen at KFC today. I just finished plucking the feathers and am about to bleed it.”
"You went to work at KFC?"
"Otherwise what? I do hourly work, fifty yuan an hour, it's just a bit tiring."
"You've really worked hard, Teacher Da Ye."
"Sigh, what can I do? It's a tough life. Anyway, what's wrong, senior brother? Could it be that someone's died?"
"I hope it's not."
"Ok?"
"Liu Miaomiao has disappeared."
"Liu Miaomiao...who is she? Let me think...oh, she's a classmate of your senior. What happened to her? How did she go missing?" Xia Mi's tone revealed deep confusion.
Lu Mingfei explained in a low voice, telling Xia Mi what had happened, including Mr. McDonald.
"Oh my god, how could Mr. McDonald's be so mean? Luckily, I'm a staunch KFC supporter!" Xia Mi said with absolute certainty.
Then she changed the subject and said gently, "Senior brother, don't worry too much. Good people are always protected by heaven. I think Liu Miaomiao is a good person and she will be fine."
“Okay.” Lu Mingfei nodded. “I probably won’t be going home today. I’ll be staying at the resort for the next couple of days.”
"It's alright, saving lives is the priority. Even though my senior brother won't be here tonight, my junior sister will be lonely," Xia Mi said.
"If you're feeling lonely, just do a few practice tests," Lu Mingfei offered his sincere advice.
"Then I'd rather be lonely until dawn. I have to go now, my boss is calling me, I'm hanging up."
Okay. You're busy.
Lu Mingfei hung up the phone, put it down, and muttered to himself, "I don't think the commotion on Teacher Daye's end sounds like a chicken being killed. Oh well, I trust her skills. I should think about Liu Miaomiao instead."
My poor Miaomiao, I wonder how she is now.
……
Regarding the bronze city that has appeared on the sea, the most urgent task is to determine whether it is a mirage.
Lu Mingfei saw Zhou Qinghe make a phone call, immediately dispatch a helicopter, fly over, circle it at a great distance, and then return, giving a startling conclusion:
The ancient bronze city is real and not a mirage.
The ancient city was surrounded by a thin, misty fog, like a mysterious barrier. Those who ventured into it would wander around for a while, then inexplicably emerge from the fog, unable to get any closer.
The footage captured by the helicopter's camera was not clear enough to be used as intelligence.
Zhou Qinghe had seen this kind of thing many times before, and she planned to form an investigation vanguard team to travel by boat to the island and personally explore the ancient bronze city.
Personnel: Zhou Qinghe, Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang.
Pending: Ye Sheng, Jiu Deya (return to the team after dropping off Chen Wenwen).
Even with the top agents from Kassel College, there were only five people, which was clearly not enough to investigate a mysterious ancient city.
Moreover, Zhou Qinghe received orders from above to first seal off the area and wait for reinforcements from the orthodox side.
This is a matter of great importance; we should consider it carefully.
The orthodox organization will assign a person in charge in each city to manage several agents and be responsible for preventing and resolving supernatural events.
Zhou Qinghe also has seven super agents under his command, each with unique skills, and their fighting spirit and endurance are astonishing.
They received a summons from their boss and were also heading to the resort.
But Lu Mingfei couldn't wait a moment longer. Liu Miaomiao's life was uncertain, and every minute he waited here meant another minute of danger for her.
Lu Mingfei simply asked Zhou Qinghe for a speedboat so he could go alone.
Zhou Qinghe refused and warned Lu Mingfei that individual heroism was unacceptable.
Based on the approximate size of the ancient bronze city, it is highly likely that a pure-blooded dragon of considerable lineage is slumbering inside.
That's a pure-blooded dragon!
Yes, that's terrible.
The other person kept referring to them as a mixed-race person.
Is there anyone present who could defeat a pure-blooded dragon in a one-on-one fight?
Therefore, Zhou Qinghe advised Lu Mingfei not to act impulsively. She knew Liu Miaomiao and had a good impression of the somewhat naive girl, and did not want her to be harmed.
Zhou Qinghe has said both good and bad things, so should Lu Mingfei just obey orders and accept them obediently...?
So he gained his superpowers for nothing?
In front of everyone, Lu Mingfei took the initiative to activate his golden eyes, unleashing the overwhelming majesty of his body without reservation, which directly startled Zhou Qinghe, Chu Zihang, Ye Sheng, and Jiu Deyaji.
They all activated their golden eyes, trying to counteract the pressure, but they couldn't even muster the thought of fighting back.
"Sister Zhou, even if, as you say, a pure-blooded dragon awaits me ahead, I will still go to save Liu Miaomiao. I promised someone I would bring her back safely."
"Besides, so what if he's a pure-blooded dragon? Is he a god?" Lu Mingfei said calmly.
Whether it was Zhou Qinghe's imagination or not, she felt that when Lu Mingfei uttered the word "god," there was no sense of reverence or power, but rather a hint of contempt.
It's like dragons or gods, none of them are taken seriously by the boy.
Zhou Qinghe was captivated by Lu Mingfei's extraordinary spirit and boundless ambition, and unilaterally admitted that he was the most heroic person she had ever met in her life!
"Hao! Just for saying that, I'll risk my life to go with you! Haha!"
Zhou Qinghe wasn't a conventional person at heart; she had a wild streak. She patted Lu Mingfei on the back and laughed loudly.
Lu Mingfei wanted to say that he could handle it on his own, but after taking a hit from Zhou Qinghe's Bone-Melting Palm, he realized that this woman was a hidden master.
He considered himself humble and never dared to be presumptuous, so having a skilled person accompany him increased his chances of saving Liu Miaomiao, and thus he kept quiet.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya looked at each other in bewilderment.
Chu Zihang seemed lost in thought, inexplicably recalling the dream he had.
If this is Lu Mingfei in a dream, it seems like a god has come and will kill you too.
Having made up his mind, Zhou Qinghe immediately dispatched two speedboats, carrying firepower weapons and alchemy equipment that were extremely difficult to obtain domestically, and set off with Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, Ye Sheng, and Jiu Deyaji.
The two major powers, the Orthodox and the Kassel College, were still discussing the matter when the incident occurred suddenly. The Orthodox was unable to mobilize all its forces to stop the hybrids who coveted the Dragon Clan ruins from entering the country.
You can snipe a tiger, but you can't stop too many flies and rats from sneaking in.
At this point, Kassel College can come to the rescue, as it is better at dealing with mixed-race forces outside of China than the orthodox ones.
Kassel College is one of the few organizations that has had and is currently cooperating with the orthodox institutions. Their request is not high; they simply hope to send someone to investigate the Bronze Age city together.
Even if we can't obtain the actual heritage, the archaeological excavation of the ancient bronze city alone can greatly help the study of the dragon civilization.
The orthodox approach and the Kassel College can achieve a win-win situation.
win~win~
However, what the Orthodox and Kassel College were unaware of was that their personnel had already launched an exploration and attack on the Bronze City.
Lu Mingfei and Zhou Qinghe are in the same boat.
Ye Sheng, Jiu Deya Ji, and Chu Zihang were on the same boat.
The speedboat sped past, splashing up a string of waves.
Soon, Lu Mingfei and his group arrived at the edge of the island...
Chapter 79 Lu Mingfei, the young man, stood at attention.
Just like the previous helicopter incident, Lu Mingfei and his group quickly lost their way after entering the fog.
Fortunately, the two ships were tied together with ropes at their bows and sterns to prevent them from getting lost.
