Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 205

"It seems like there's nothing else. Most of the others are just nodding acquaintances." After answering the question, Old Tang asked again, "Um... uh..."

Old Tang's hesitation and reluctance prompted the system to press further: "What's wrong?"

Old Tang said, "Boss, you seem to attract dragons quite a bit? Of course, I'm not talking about actively attracting them, I'm talking about passively attracting them. Like me, I was doing something in Japan and you just caught me and brought me back. Subjectively, it wasn't that I wanted to get close, it was purely luck. Is it possible that the lurking dragon king was the same way? He accidentally came into contact with you, and then we got to know each other..."

"It is indeed possible, but at present, the possibility is relatively small and needs to be verified, otherwise it is easy to accidentally injure friendly forces."

The system did not deny it, because it had considered this issue before, but after analyzing it briefly, it gave up on the analysis.

These natural friends are simply too numerous to count. Of course, only a minority can stay together in the long run, because truly valuable people are few and far between, and those without value are easily marginalized...

If it weren't for Old Tang's sudden display of alchemical talent, he probably would have been sent to work elsewhere, and the friendship would have completely dissipated.

Well... Old Tang did show some talent, which is why he was noticed and kept on. However, Old Tang's situation is unconscious and not common. After all, he is a dignified Dragon King, yet he doesn't even know who he is...

Old Tang may not have his own consciousness, but that doesn't mean the other dragon king doesn't have his own consciousness, so Old Tang cannot be used as a template for calculation at all.

If we take Lao Tang as a template for calculation, then there are only three people around him: Chu Zihang, Xia Mi, and Panpan...

"It's good that you know, boss." Old Tang nodded, then turned around and found that Constantine and Xia Mi were gone.

That's good, he can discuss some issues about himself. He said, "Boss, what about Constantine and me?"

Speaking of this, he was somewhat worried, after all, it concerned his own affairs, and most importantly—the decision-making power was not in his own hands!

What if the boss forces him to acknowledge Constantine as his brother? What if Norton wakes up to find himself impersonating him and hanging out with his brother, even acting like the older brother? Wouldn't he be furious and strangle him?

The system reassured him, "I will find a way to solve your problem. If Constantine can solve it, then Norton will naturally have the same way to solve it."

There's really no way to solve it, absolutely no way, because the one who handled Constantine's case was the Little Devil.

But how can I let Lao Tang know about this now? It's just a little white lie, Lao Tang, you can just accept it.

There's always a way out, and things will work themselves out. Old Tang, you're lucky and have a long life ahead of you. Surely you'll find another way when the time comes, right?

Upon hearing his boss's words, Old Tang thought about it again and realized it made sense. Constantine's Dragonbone Cross had been destroyed, yet there was still a way to retrieve his Innervate. Why couldn't Norton do the same? It was just a matter of replicating the operation. For his all-powerful boss, wasn't that a simple, effortless task, something anyone could do?

It's all settled, it's all settled... He breathed a sigh of relief, and the panic he felt when he saw Constantine slowly dissipated.

……

"Where are you from?" Xia Mi asked Constantine, trying to get information out of him to confirm his identity.

Constantine immediately replied, "I am from Guangzhou."

"How did you end up being recruited by our boss to work illegally?"

"I came here because Sister Su told me that working for Boss Lu was a promising career path."

"..."

The question and answer were perfectly natural. The little devil had considered everything thoroughly, even preparing a complete set of proofs against Constantine. As long as Constantine took out this complete set of proofs, he could immediately prove his pure human identity.

After all, as everyone knows, the Bronze and Fire King Constantine had already had his Dragonbone Cross destroyed by Lu Mingfei at the Three Gorges Bronze City.

If the Dragon Bone Cross has been exposed, then it's obviously dead beyond any doubt.

As long as Lu Mingfei takes out Constantine's dragon bone cross and shows it to others, no one will suspect this little Ding.

Aside from a very small number of people who knew the truth, such as the women who made a full set of identity documents for Constantine.

Constantine knew that identity by heart, so no matter how much Xia Mi asked, she couldn't find any flaws.

However, she still needs to further investigate the identity and find direct evidence to confirm this matter—such as the most compelling direct evidence, the dragon bone cross that Constantine was revealed to possess as the King of Bronze and Fire.

……

When Lao Tang and the system had finished their conversation, Xia Mi and Constantine had also finished theirs. The four of them gathered together, finished their conversation, and the atmosphere became harmonious, as if there were no problems at all.

Xia Mi took out her phone to check the time, then said, "Huh? How come it's already afternoon? I'm going back to class!"

Old Tang said, "Aren't we going to eat something before we go?"

Given Xia Mi's grades at school, let alone being late, even if she skipped an entire afternoon, the teacher would still call to check on her... She had a very high status. Old Tang knew a thing or two about this, which is why he was able to say that.

"It's fine if I don't eat that meal." Xia Mi waved her hand and turned to leave.

"Uh..." Old Tang looked at her slender back, hesitant to speak, until her figure disappeared, then he closed his mouth.

Actually, everyone can see Xia Mi's problem, but since he is of the opposite sex, it's not appropriate to talk about it in that direction, as the topic is too sensitive and a bit too much.

He glanced at little Constantine, then at his boss, and said, "Boss, I'll continue my research."

"Yes, if you don't understand anything, just ask Constantine. Let's finish the experiment as soon as possible."

"I know."

"Okay, I'll head back now."

"Okay, goodbye, boss."

"Goodbye, Brother Lu Mingfei."

"Goodbye."

After leaving the lab, the system drove straight home.

Lu Mingfei, having nothing better to do, browsed through the system's analysis logs and looked at the system's current plans.

The system's plan consists of two steps: development and dragon slaying.

Lu Mingfei was startled, sensing something was wrong: "Huh?! System, how did your plan turn out like this? I don't remember it being like this before?"

Picking up girls is a top priority, but I've been focusing on the wrong things all along, setting my sights on the more difficult women, which has prevented me from making any progress...

[...It's unclear whether Lu Mingze has truly disappeared, but this is something you can't gamble on. Lu Mingze's disappearance means that the host is currently in an extremely dangerous vacuum...]

[...The host's current situation is quite dangerous. It is imperative to quickly acquire enough strength to protect oneself, or at the very least, the strength to escape...]

Previously, the system could have considered that the first task was of greater importance, because even if things went badly, there were still little devils to help. At worst, you would lose a quarter of your life, but if you exchanged a Dragon King trial card, you could at least escape, and maybe even get a Dragon Bone Cross.

But the situation is different now. Nobody knows if the Little Devil has really gone offline, but it's true that Lu Mingfei's surroundings are becoming increasingly dangerous.

The King of Bronze and Fire, the twins aside, there's also an unknown dragon king lurking in the shadows. If that unknown dragon king isn't Odin, then things will get really interesting...

Just because Odin was defeated by Norton doesn't mean he'll give up. Odin will definitely keep an eye on Doflamingo and Norton...

The two dragon kings looked over with concern, and the little devil suddenly logged off without warning, seemingly not even giving him a chance to escape with low health.

At this point, the system no longer cares about women; developing quickly is the priority, and survival is the only way to discuss those managed tasks!

"Oh, right, I almost forgot..." Lu Mingfei only remembered that he was currently in an extremely dangerous vacuum period after seeing the system's analysis.

I had been thinking about this and that all along, and for a moment I forgot about this issue.

Chapter 236 Su Enxi's Departure, Xia Mi's Identity

Lu Mingfei had never been in such danger before, and he was still in shock for a moment.

The system's development steps are simple and crude: either directly activate the Norton security system to protect security, or launch the new Bronze and Fire Kings project for security.

These two plans are mutually exclusive, and there is almost no possibility of them coexisting. After all, given the deep bond between the Bronze and Fire Lord brothers, Norton would not allow someone else to usurp his brother's power.

How is this any different from a husband committing adultery? Who could tolerate this?

We can't just return the Dragon King's power to Constantine, can we? Doing it this way... what if we accidentally face two Bronze and Fire Kings directly? Who could withstand that?

……

Xia Mi sensed something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on how wrong it was, since there were just too many things she didn't know.

Without information, you don't know what the other party is doing, what they want to do, or what they might do... There are just too many situations you face when you're completely in the dark.

All she can do now is keep thinking and trying to come up with a proper solution.

She wondered, 'What exactly is Lu Mingfei doing right now? What is he planning to do?'

This is a question that puzzles Long greatly.

……

"Um...the boss is getting off the plane already?" Su Enxi looked at the other two women staring at each other.

Mai raised her hand immediately and asked, "So what should we do next?"

"I do not know!"

Su Enxi was speechless. What kind of nonsense is this? The boss just suddenly passed away without a word? And without even making any arrangements for his affairs. What are they, his subordinates, going to do? Who's going to take care of them?

Without the strong support of their boss, they could easily become easy prey for others to exploit.

Zero said, "Either do nothing and try to make yourself as transparent as possible to avoid getting into trouble, or go and seek refuge with Lu Mingfei."

"I agree with option 2!" Mai Shude immediately declared.

"Regarding Lu Mingfei's situation... whether we can truly provide him with shelter is a question. Without his boss, I suspect he might resort to torture or something to pry our mouths open. Who can protect us? The spirit of our boss in heaven?"

Su Enxi's displeasure was written all over her face, indicating that she strongly opposed the matter.

Zero looked at the logistics manager and calmly said, "Is it possible that he never gave us a choice? This is a true/false question, and it tests the trust and understanding we've built up over the years."

"A true/false question?" Upon hearing this, Su Enxi immediately said, "Is it a question about whether we will directly seek refuge with Lu Mingfei, or whether we have any self-awareness and are aware of the danger we are in?"

Upon hearing her words, Mai clicked her tongue and said, "This doesn't seem to be contradictory, does it? I feel like it might be a combination of two options, for us to make a judgment, showing both loyalty and ability..."

"I'm convinced..." Su Enxi was immediately filled with admiration.

How can the central government take action without informing local officials? Relying entirely on local officials to guess is...is that reasonable?

That's completely unreasonable!

Zero stood up and said, "Let's go directly to Lu Mingfei to save our lives. We've been hanging around him all this time, which has attracted a lot of attention. Once those guys notice something is wrong with him, they'll probably immediately bare their fangs at us, and then we won't be able to escape."

"it is good."

Someone made a choice, and Su Enxi and Jiu De Mai immediately nodded in agreement.

Because what Zero said was indeed true.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these three women can stir up trouble and are among the best of the mixed-race, but in reality, they are no different from any other mixed-race powerhouse.

And there are even stronger beings above the hybrid race. They are even more like a roadside swarm. In this situation, if they don't quickly find a place to settle down and seek protection, any slight probing by someone will be their limit... Without the protection of their boss, they are like fledglings without fully developed wings, and any external threat can easily kill them.

Su Enxi asked, "Boss Lu, have you ever heard of arranged marriages between children?"
