Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 187

Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up: "When?"

Although I came here to see what kind of situation Mai Shude was in, going to a hot spring with Su Enxi wasn't out of the question either.

It just so happens that he had never been to a hot spring before and didn't know the difference between soaking in a hot spring and soaking in a warm bathtub.

"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and the day after that will be Saturday and Sunday. The hot springs will be crowded then. I personally prefer a quieter environment, even if it's just outside the hot spring rooms."

Su Enxi took out her phone and called Zero to ask for his opinion. Then she called her subordinate and asked him to arrange a hot spring trip.

Lu Mingfei also took out his phone and sent a text message to his homeroom teacher asking for leave.

Where should we go for a hot spring tomorrow?

"I don't know, I don't know if there are any around here, but I've already asked people to look for them. We just need to be ready to leave tomorrow."

"Ah."

Upon hearing that Lu Mingfei and Su Enxi had already made their plans, Jiu De Mai couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Lu Mingfei, are you going to the hot springs too?"

“Yeah, I’ve never been to a hot spring before, so I don’t know what it feels like.” Lu Mingfei nodded.

"What's it like to soak in a hot spring? It's just hotter water. The geothermal source heats the groundwater and then it gushes out or is extracted... I thought you wouldn't have any particular interest in soaking in a hot spring."

After finishing her sentence, Mai asked Su Enxi, "What did Zero say?"

Su Enxi casually tore open a bag of potato chips on the table and said, "She agreed, and we're leaving tomorrow. Are you going now?"

“If you two go and I don’t, wouldn’t that be me isolating you? That won’t do.” Mai Shude shook her head. “So I’ll go.”

“Okay, then let’s add another VIP.” Su Enxi started eating potato chips and asked Lu Mingfei, “Speaking of which, the hot springs in Japan are quite famous. If it weren’t so far away, it would be better to soak in one in Japan.”

Because of the numerous volcanic mountains beneath its surface, Japan is an expert in heating groundwater, which has made its hot springs world-famous.

"What are the major differences between hot springs in different places?" Lu Mingfei didn't care much about this. To put it bluntly, they're just heated groundwater. It's just that the water quality varies from place to place. Japan's water quality isn't anything special.

"This kind of thing is a mental enjoyment. When you feel comfortable in your mind, you will feel even more comfortable in your body."

Su Enxi lay on the sofa, stirred slightly, put a pillow under her, found a more comfortable position, and continued eating potato chips.

However, this lying position made her body curves more obvious, and the half-naivety and half-maturity of the young woman were immediately revealed on her.

The girl's youthful charm, the woman's mature physique... Lu Mingfei glanced at her again, then fell into deep thought.

Because he noticed that Jiu De Mai and Su En Xi seemed to have become special in his eyes, as if they had become more beautiful, or rather, more pleasing to the eye.

The system's explanation is: [...Previously, the host knew that there was little chance for Su Enxi and the other two girls. Rather than pursuing them, it was better to pursue other targets first. This led to the host not really caring about the three girls, or rather, never having any hope for them...]

[...But after his mindset changed, the host suddenly realized that Su Enxi and the other two women were worth pursuing, and that changed everything. He began to see things in a state of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"...]

However, Lu Mingfei was unaware of this analysis because he had previously instructed the system to fold up the analysis about him. He couldn't see the analysis at all and could only know that the system was analyzing him again through the folded [...] in the system analysis.

However, Lu Mingfei did not open the analysis to see what it was analyzing, because he felt that he was capable of figuring out the problem.

Yes, if he thinks about it more, he should be able to figure it out; there's no doubt about that.

But if he doesn't think things through more, or gives up halfway through, then it's hard to say.

……

When I got home, it was already very late. Almost all the lights in the neighborhood were off, with only one or two left on. I didn't know if the homeowners had forgotten to turn them off, or if the workers had just finished their overtime and were coming home to rest.

The neighborhood was quiet and deserted, utterly empty... Lu Mingfei didn't rush to take a shower or go to bed. Instead, he found a bench in the night breeze and sat down, quietly contemplating some things.

He has been pondering the changes between himself in the past and who he is today.

There have been changes, and significant changes at that—they've become bolder.

He was incredibly naive back then, and unless he was under the system's management, he would never have his eyes on a woman.

Just as a naive young man can't let go of his pride, he used to be unable to let go of the awkwardness in his heart.

Is this what it feels like to grow up?

Lu Mingfei felt something was off.

In the system analysis log, several previously collapsed analysis entries suddenly reappeared... It's unclear what the system was analyzing.

Lu Mingfei sat quietly and thought for a while, then went home, took a shower, and went to sleep.

When I woke up on the second day, I made breakfast and ate it slowly. I didn't rush to go for a run or anything. Instead, I waited quietly for Panpan and Xia Mi to come over for breakfast.

When Panpan woke up, she saw that Lu Mingfei was still eating breakfast. She was a little surprised, but she didn't ask any questions. She just greeted him and started brushing her teeth and washing her face.

When Xia Mi came over for breakfast, she noticed that Lu Mingfei was still there. She said with some surprise, "Boss Lu, you didn't go for a run today? Well, after running for so long, it's good to take a break."

Lu Mingfei's previous normal daily routine was incredibly regular under the system's management, giving the impression that he was almost living according to a clock.

As for why a superhuman would do something as meaningless as morning jogging... that's pretty normal, it's just a personal hobby!

Anyway, I didn't do anything bad, it was just a simple run, so I don't need to be criticized or attacked.

After Chu Zihang awakened his bloodline, his body became so strong that defeating opponents in basketball was a piece of cake for him. But he still went down to play basketball with his classmates from time to time to chat and exchange ideas.

Lu Mingfei shook his head: "No, I'm not going to class today. I'm going out for a stroll with Su Enxi and the others."

The matter of going to the hot springs with Su Enxi and the others could be mentioned or not, but Lu Mingfei felt that it was unnecessary to go into too much detail.

Xia Mi sat down and began eating breakfast without any ceremony, then asked, "Where are you going for a stroll?"

"I don't know where they're going."

"Going out to play?" Panpan peeked out from the bathroom while brushing her teeth.

"Go back to your class."

"That's alright then." Panpan immediately pulled her head back in.

Xia Mi said, "It's okay. Your brother Lu Mingfei won't play with you, but your sister Xia Mi will. Let's go out for a nice lunch."

"Okay," Panpan's voice came from inside the bathroom.

"Why did you suddenly decide to go out with them?" Xia Mi asked.

Previously, Lu Mingfei and the three girls, including Su Enxi, often hung out together, but it was mostly for them to chat or discuss business. This was the first time he had specifically gone out to play...

"I just want to go out and have some fun." Lu Mingfei glanced at Xia Mi, then immediately looked away.

If Xia Mi knew that she went to the hot springs with them, would she feel a pang of jealousy or secretly feel a little envious?

Hard to say.

He got along fairly well with the three most beautiful girls in class, but Xia Mi never sensed anything special about them. Perhaps the three girls were just average? After all, they were all ordinary people, and it was already rare for someone to be that beautiful, but ultimately, they couldn't compete with the mixed-race individuals who had the advantage of their bloodline...

The three beauties are already top-tier among ordinary people, but any handsome man or beautiful woman among mixed-race people would be considered above average in terms of looks. Su Enxi and the others each have their own unique charm and are very good-looking, so they can be said to pose a great threat.

However, judging from Xia Mi's previous attitude, it's hard to say whether such a thing will happen, since she doesn't seem to care about him.

"Did you say what activities you'd like to do?"

"Su Enxi and the others said they wanted to go to a hot spring," Lu Mingfei said calmly.

Xia Mi's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. She simply pondered and said, "Soaking in a hot spring? There don't seem to be any hot springs nearby, right? It doesn't seem worth traveling so far just to take a bath. How about we boil some water and soak?"

"Um... since you're all full, why don't you just eat plain white rice until you're full?"

"That won't work."

Chapter 217 World Peace?

When Lu Mingfei arrived at the hotel, Su Enxi was still packing her things in her hotel room.

Seeing Lu Mingfei carrying only a small bag and with his hands almost empty, Su Enxi asked in confusion, "Where's your luggage?"

“We can buy a lot of things over there, right?” Lu Mingfei said.

"Uh...that's true."

"What are you packing? Such a big box?"

"If we're going to a hot spring, we need to prepare some food and drinks, right?" Su Enxi continued preparing things without looking up, saying, "It's not like we're just going to the river to bathe. We're going on vacation, not swimming."

“That’s true…” Lu Mingfei scratched his head.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought of these things, but he simply felt it was unnecessary. After all, it was just going to a hot spring; he could just bring a pair of swimming trunks and swim around in it. Why make it so fancy?

"We can bring it, you don't need to go back and prepare."

"Ok."

Lu Mingfei nodded, then noticed that neither Jiu De Mai nor Ling seemed to be in the hotel. Only Su Enxi was packing her things all alone... Was the homebody being isolated?

"What about Mai and Zero?"

"They went ahead to reserve the space. I'm here specifically to wait for you."

"Oh, I thought you would book the entire hot spring area."

Su Enxi said nonchalantly, "It's fine, but there's no need. I just like it this way. It would be best if it were like this, but it's okay if it's not. I don't care."

She's not a very refined person; she doesn't usually go out of her way to get the best of everything. Most of the time, she just goes with whatever's convenient.

"By the way, I heard that Mai Shude has had a lot of boyfriends?" Seeing that Mai Shude herself wasn't present, Lu Mingfei seemed to have his gossip spirit ignited and started discussing this matter with Su Enxi.

Su Enxi casually cleared up the mystery for Lu Mingfei regarding her good friend's gossipy question: "Long-legged Lu Mingfei is indeed a bit of a flirt, but when it comes to dating, it's mostly high-quality men who pursue her. She's never really agreed to anything; she just enjoys the feeling of ambiguity."

"She actually enjoys this kind of thing?"

"Isn't it normal to have this kind of fun? Most hybrids are geniuses. They have stronger strength, more agile minds... far more powerful than ordinary people. This also brings a problem: they have more ideas than ordinary people, and more often than not, they can achieve their ideas. Under such circumstances, it's normal for them to have some strange quirks."

Su Enxi said, "For example, I really like drinking. Because of my strong constitution, I can drink without restraint and nothing happens to me. Gradually, my alcohol tolerance has increased. If I want, I can basically drink 24 hours a day. For example, Xia Mi is clearly a very lonely person, but she loves to join in the fun and can blend in perfectly without looking lonely at all."

"what?"

Lu Mingfei was taken aback. He wanted to discuss Su Enxi and the others, but somehow the conversation turned to Xia Mi, who was standing next to him.

“Is that so strange?” Su Enxi said, “The vice principal of Angers and Kassel College, Flamel, used to be famous ladies’ man. For example, there’s Pompeii, the head of the Gattuso family, who travels all over the world and has girlfriends wherever he goes… These things are just spice in life and don’t affect their achievements and efforts in their main careers, just like drinking doesn’t affect my ability to make money.”

"Too."

Lu Mingfei nodded. Although his highest priority task for the system was to win over a beautiful girl, it didn't stop the system from going further and further down the path of slaying dragons...

If his own strength could be a little stronger, breaking through the limits of ordinary hybrids and reaching the level of Dragon King, the system would dare to speak openly... At that time, the identity of the Dragon Slayer could help him pursue girls.

"Then why did you stop drinking and start eating potato chips instead?"

"Drinking is for sad people. Why would I drink when I'm happy every day? I just got addicted at first. You know what a true foodie is, right? Even if I'm not hungry, I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat something..."
