Lu Mingfei, how can you slay a dragon if you don't play the villain?

"Why me?" Chu Zihang finally asked.

Lu Mingfei said in a deep voice:

"Because you and I have both offended Odin, he will come after us sooner or later."

He approached Chu Zihang and said, "Moreover... I believe that you, like me, will not sit idly by and wait for your doom."

Chu Zihang's pupils contracted slightly.

Lu Mingfei's words were like a key, unlocking a long-sealed lock in his heart.

"What if I refuse?" Chu Zihang's voice remained calm.

Lu Mingfei shrugged:

"Then let's go our separate ways."

He paused, then said, "But Senior Brother Chu, in this world, only I can help you find Odin and kill him."

“If you miss this opportunity, you will never be able to avenge your father.”

Chu Zihang suddenly stood up. "What makes you think you can kill Odin?"

“It’s very simple,” Lu Mingfei’s eyes flashed with a dazzling golden light, “because I’m stronger than you.”

Chu Zihang was silent for a few seconds. What Lu Mingfei said was indeed true. Yesterday, when he faced Odin's Deadpool, he could only run away.

But Lu Mingfei not only confronted Odin directly, but also smashed those Deadpools to pieces, and finally brought him out of Nibelungen.

All of this proves that Lu Mingfei possesses the strength to confront Odin.

"Okay, I promise you," Chu Zihang said in a deep voice.

For him, anything that helps him find and kill Odin is acceptable, whether it's Kassel College, Lu Mingfei, or anything else.

He has no reason to refuse as long as it helps him achieve his goal.

Side Quest: Invite Chu Zihang to join your personal organization

[Task Successful: 10 points. Points can be redeemed for items in the system shop.]

[Mission Failure: Kill the target personally within 24 hours, or erase all traces of the host's existence.]

The cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang out, startling Lu Mingfei.

However, he quickly realized what was happening and extended an invitation to Chu Zihang.

He solemnly extended his right hand:

"So, Senior Brother Chu, I now formally invite you to join my organization. Do you agree?"

"Okay!" Chu Zihang also extended his right hand and grasped Lu Mingfei's hand.

“Paradise, the organization’s name is Paradise,” Lu Mingfei blurted out.

[System notification: The organization name has been recorded as "Paradise"]

[System notification: Member Chu Zihang has been added to the organization panel. Please check it yourself.]

“Paradise…” Chu Zihang repeated the name softly, “Why is it called Paradise?”

Lu Mingfei smiled. He had just blurted it out unconsciously, simply because he remembered the system's threat to send him to heaven.

He released Chu Zihang's hand and said with some helplessness:

"Because people will eventually go to heaven."

Chapter 58 Campus Exploration

After inviting Chu Zihang to join the organization, Lu Mingfei chatted with him briefly before leaving.

When he and Zero arrived at the Regent Hotel, they were both tactful enough not to ask each other which room they wanted, and simply agreed to meet at the entrance in fifteen minutes.

Zero estimates he'll pack his things quickly; he can't afford to delay too long.

At the entrance of the Regent Hotel, Ling stood obediently to one side, carrying her schoolbag.

Lu Mingfei strode through the lobby of the Regent Hotel. Just as he stepped out of the hotel and was about to greet Ling,

The system's mechanical voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

He paused, narrowed his eyes, and examined the newly appeared side quest.

Side Quest: Take a stroll around Shilan Middle School alone

[Task reward: none]

[Mission Failed: Erasure of all traces of the host's existence]

[Time Limit: Within 1 hour]

Lu Mingfei was a little confused. What on earth was this system doing?

He had just left Shilan Secondary School, but was then made to go back alone.

What about his delicate Russian fiancée?

He strode towards Zero, a gentle smile now on his face: "All ready?"

Zero nodded gently, her platinum hair swaying slightly in the sunset.

She was as quiet as a painting, but a hint of doubt flashed in her icy blue eyes—she had keenly sensed Lu Mingfei's unusual behavior just a moment ago.

“Zero, I suddenly remembered I left something at school.” Lu Mingfei scratched his head, his tone relaxed. “You go back first, I’ll be back soon.”

"Uncle Liu's address is in Sunshine, California..." he said quickly, giving Ling Liu's address.

Lu Mingfei was not worried about Ling's safety.

As a mixed-race individual, the seemingly delicate Russian girl possessed a power that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

If some fool dared to have any ill intentions towards her, the city would probably only have one more bizarre "accident" the next day—such as some unlucky guy "falling" from the 20th floor, or being crushed into mincemeat by an "out-of-control" truck.

Zero's gaze lingered on his face for a few seconds before she finally gave a brief "hmm".

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave, but then heard Ling suddenly say, "Be careful."

He turned around and saw the girl standing in the twilight, the setting sun gilding her with a golden edge, making her look unreal.

Lu Mingfei felt a warmth in his heart and waved to her, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Once out of Zero's sight, Lu Mingfei's expression immediately darkened.

He walked quickly across the street, his mind racing with the strange task the system was giving him—why was he being asked to go back to school alone?

"Can you give me a hint?" Lu Mingfei asked in his mind.

[System prompt: Please explore on your own.]

Lu Mingfei pursed his lips and quickened his pace.

Fifteen minutes later.

The outline of Shilan Middle School was faintly visible in the distance, like a lurking beast.

Arriving at the entrance of Shilan Middle School, Lu Mingfei strode into the school gate.

His gaze swept across the field, and he saw only a handful of people still practicing running on the track.

The entire playground was completely deserted.

Even on weekdays, many students will continue to study until late at night, even after school has ended.

But today is different. Today is National Day, and the students have already gone home after school.

Lu Mingfei did not wander around the playground or the track; he could see both places clearly at a glance.

So he set his sights on the teaching building.

There are two school buildings in total, one for high school and one for junior high school.

The teaching building of Shilan Middle School is not very big. Although it is a well-known key high school in the city, it is a private school after all, and the tuition is very expensive, about 40,000 yuan per year.

After all, many families cannot afford the expensive tuition fees.

Of course, if your grades are excellent, you can be specially admitted by the school, and your tuition will be waived.

Someone like Lu Mingfei, who was at the bottom of Shilan Middle School, might be considered a top student if he were placed in an ordinary high school outside.

Lu Mingfei strode into the junior high school building. He had been a student at Shilan Middle School during junior high, so he knew the school very well.

First floor, second floor, third floor...

He walked briskly through each floor of the junior high school building, then scanned the classrooms with his eyes.

He quickly finished exploring the junior high school building, but the result was... nothing.

Next, he will visit the high school's teaching building, gymnasium, library, and dormitory.

The junior high school buildings and the senior high school buildings are not completely separate.

Starting from the second floor, each floor is connected by a corridor.

So Lu Mingfei went directly from the sixth floor of the junior high school to the sixth floor of the senior high school via the corridor.

There are no classrooms on the sixth floor of the high school; it is where most of the high school's clubs are located.

Even Chen Wenwen's literary society is on this floor.

Lu Mingfei strode down the corridor, his gaze sweeping across the area.

As Lu Mingfei passed by the literary society, he unexpectedly encountered someone.

Chen Wenwen was walking out of there carrying her schoolbag.

She stood at the boundary between light and shadow, a white scarf around her neck.

The setting sun cast a warm glow on her white cotton skirt.

The two were slightly taken aback, but Lu Mingfei quickly pretended not to see it and prepared to leave.
