Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 26

"Lu Mingfei, did you feel anything unusual while you were sleeping last night?" Su Enxi asked directly.

There was still half an hour until Shilan Middle School let out. Sitting in the car on the way, Lu Mingfei was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Like having nightmares?"

"It seems not. Did something happen?" Lu Mingfei subconsciously asked her why she had this question.

“There was an anomaly in the city last night, with a very wide impact. Mixed-race people are having nightmares about facing death, and even ordinary people are experiencing some very minor anomalies,” Su Enxi said. “It seems to be specifically targeting mixed-race people.”

Word of Power - Supreme? Lu Mingfei subconsciously thought of this, and then felt a little guilty.

When he released the Supreme Being last night, there was nothing unusual at all. He spoke very softly, mainly to test whether anyone was watching.

There was no feedback at the time, but now Su Enxi says the impact is extremely widespread? Hybrids are experiencing nightmares about facing death, and ordinary people are also showing some minor abnormalities?

That can't be right, can it? Surely not? Is this Supreme Being that powerful?

The system is also analyzing this issue.

[...The power of words, supreme, might not simply be a domain spread through sound...and the threat of death might be because the host used the power of words, supreme, with words containing murderous intent...]

……

At school, Xia Mi seemed lost in thought all day. In class, the beautiful girl wasn't paying attention; she rested her chin on her hand, gazing out the window in a daze, creating a beautiful scene.

She didn't even try to hide her true feelings, and had already shrugged off quite a few people who had been trying to comfort her that day. Her roommate was also a little confused; it was just a nightmare where her head hit the ceiling, right? It couldn't be that serious, could it?

Or did he hit his head and break it?

Xia Mi repeatedly denied that she had hit her head; she said she had just had a bad dream last night, which was why they hadn't taken her to the hospital.

The teachers didn't say anything about it. They weren't worried about Xia Mi's grades. On the contrary, if Xia Mi coughed, they would all have to check what they had written to see if there were any mistakes.

She attended classes in a daze all day. Her homeroom teacher shook his head as he looked at Xia Mi, who was still in a daze. This usually bright and reliable child had clearly gone astray.

I don't know if it will have a long-term effect, otherwise it would be quite troublesome, after all, Xia Mi is an orphan, and can be considered to have no one to rely on...

The homeroom teacher suspected that Xia Mi was in a relationship, but Xia Mi just couldn't understand where the death threat from last night came from.

For a fleeting moment, she did suspect Lu Mingfei; his imitation of the "emperor" was quite convincing and indeed frightening enough to intimidate the dragon.

But then she realized something was wrong. Even if Norton himself came down, he couldn't possibly do what he did last night... Her anxious and confused thoughts made her feel very insecure, all alone.

As I was casually walking to the cafeteria for lunch, someone tapped me on the shoulder: "Xia Mi."

"boss."

Xia Mi didn't even need to hear the sound to know who was patting her shoulder, which is why she didn't dodge.

She turned around and saw Lu Mingfei.

"Everything's set up at the company and the dorm. I'll show you the way," Lu Mingfei said.

"it is good."

Xia Mi nodded, then turned and walked away with Lu Mingfei.

"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei could tell that Xia Mi was acting strangely, and guessed that she might have also been threatened with death by the Supreme Being he had released.

"How did you feel last night?" Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei's habitually indifferent face.

Even a dragon king like myself couldn't avoid it, so I don't know what kind of foundation Lu Mingfei's body has, or how he feels.

"A nightmare of facing the threat of death?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Hmm." Lu Mingfei was able to accurately describe the nightmare as one where he faced the threat of death, which proved that Lu Mingfei was also affected. Xia Mi nodded and said, "I dreamed that I was almost executed."

Lu Mingfei said, "Me too, but this matter doesn't just affect one or two people. It's very likely that the entire city has been affected. It's just that people with bloodlines will feel it much more obviously, while ordinary people without bloodlines will feel it very little. Someone is already investigating this matter, and it could be a big deal."

Chapter 49 New Home!

Xia Mi clenched her small hands, her face showing some nervousness, and asked, "Something related to bloodline... So, are we going to start working?"

Lu Mingfei controlled his expression and emotions. Only then did he realize that the system's expressionless face was really good. In many cases, an expressionless face would not reveal any flaws.

He said, "We don't need to do anything right now. Without professional training, we can't do anything. For now, let's just sit back and watch others perform."

Based on the timeline data provided by Su Enxi, it's highly likely that the Supreme Being I secretly released last night was responsible for this. Work? What kind of work? Do you think I'm paying you tens of thousands a month just to work for me, your boss?

"Oh." Xia Mi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

After leaving the school, the two got into a car and went to the company building.

Lu Mingfei took one of the keys to the front door and handed it to her: "This building is where our company is located. Would you like to go in and take a look?"

"Look, I'm going to grab the best workstation!"

"You are the vice president, and you have a private office."

"Are you serious?" Xia Mi was somewhat taken aback, feeling a sense of apprehension that she was too small to shoulder the heavy responsibility of slaying the dragon.

"There are only three of us in the whole company. You can be the CEO if you want. If a board of directors is formed later and the total number of employees in the company remains the same, you can also have a seat."

Hearing this, Xia Mi was unhappy and said very clearly, "Then does that mean I, as an employee, have to do multiple jobs? Boss, your money is really hard to earn."

The boss is Lu Mingfei. If he doesn't do any work and just gives orders, then she and Chu Zihang, the two employees, will have to handle finance, technology, and logistics management all at the same time...

"What can you do now?" Lu Mingfei asked her in surprise as he unlocked the door with his key.

Xia Mi smiled awkwardly, "I can sweep the floor."

"A monthly salary of tens of thousands isn't for you to sweep floors." Lu Mingfei shook his head slightly and pushed open the company door.

The quick-witted Xia Mi immediately understood what he meant and waved her little hand behind him: "Damn capitalists!"

"The reception area and tea room on the first floor..." Lu Mingfei led the way to Xia Mi, introducing the company's facilities. However, there wasn't much to say about the first and second floors; it wasn't until the third floor that there was anything interesting.

“These are the private offices for the company’s senior management.” Lu Mingfei pointed to the doors. “That one over there is the library, which contains books about dragons. It’s a kind of archive. You can come and look at those books when you have time these days to learn more about dragons. As for the offices, you can choose any one you like.”

"Uh-huh."

Xia Mi nodded and first went into the library to look at the books inside.

"Dragon Genealogy", "Dragon History", "Dragon Alchemy Compendium - Introduction", "..."

"These books look quite comprehensive? Where did you get them?" Xia Mi asked, somewhat surprised.

"I don't know, it was funded by the major shareholder in the future."

Lu Mingfei came in with a phone box and handed it to her: "Take this phone, it'll be convenient to contact you."

"Huh? No need..." Xia Mi was about to refuse, after all, it was so expensive, mobile phones are so expensive these days, several thousand yuan each. Then she heard Lu Mingfei casually say, "The money will be deducted from your salary."

Xia Mi's face stiffened.

[…Xia Mi isn’t someone who can’t take a joke, so her reaction suggests she’s quite sensitive about money?…] The system seized the opportunity to analyze rapidly.

Xia Mi has already shown a weakness!

"Just kidding." Lu Mingfei chuckled and said, "It's a work phone. How can you stay in touch these days without a phone on you?"

"Terrifying." Xia Mi rolled her eyes.

After touring the company premises, Xia Mi was quite satisfied with the company environment.

"Should we go have dinner first or check out the staff dormitory?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Lu Mingfei felt that he had become bad under the system's guidance.

From the system's perspective, when pursuing a girl, you have to be strategic. Asking a question in this situation might give the girl a chance to hesitate. However, giving her a choice might prevent her from thinking things through so quickly, leading her to choose one of the two options. (This tactic is ineffective against girls who are already resistant!)

Xia Mi made her choice almost without thinking: "Let's go check out the dorms first!"

"Yes, it's over there."

There was no need to get in the car for the distance of just over a hundred meters; Lu Mingfei led Xia Mi across.

The residential complex isn't high-rise; it's more like classic villas with plenty of greenery and a pond. There's no underground parking; the ground floor is used for parking or storage. The apartment buildings are seven stories high and there are no elevators.

Lu Mingfei chose the third floor, which was neither too high nor too low. Climbing the stairs wasn't too tiring, and the distance from the ground wasn't too low either, which would protect him from mosquitoes to some extent.

Without telling Xia Mi that he had also bought the house across the street, Lu Mingfei opened the door and led her inside. The house was poorly furnished, but fortunately, it was fully equipped with furniture and appliances.

How's the house?

"It seems a bit extravagant," Xia Mi said seriously, not joking.

Lu Mingfei and the system reacted simultaneously.

[...She probably thought the whole house was just for her to live in...]

“You…” Lu Mingfei paused, almost offending someone with his words, but fortunately he changed his tune in time: “You’re currently living in this house alone. If other female employees choose to live in the dormitory later, then there will be three people living here, one room each. Besides, this house is quite nice. With the domestic economic environment being so good, the city’s housing prices are bound to rise. Buying it as an investment is not a bad idea.”

Lu Mingfei finally understood why those high-ranking leaders and school principals always paused when giving speeches. That pause, a little more thought, might prevent them from saying the wrong thing, or even smooth things over...

Xia Mi knew she had misunderstood, but she wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she lowered her head and seriously considered Lu Mingfei's words: "Oh, right. So, do you think that as the capital, Beijing's housing prices will rise even higher? Should I save some money in the next two years to make a down payment and buy a few houses with a loan? But wait, that doesn't make sense."

She looked up at Lu Mingfei with some confusion and asked, "The money for buying the house should be tax-deductible as company assets, right? I see a lot of wealthy people like to do that."

“That’s called tax avoidance…” Lu Mingfei explained what he knew to her while looking at the system’s analysis.

The two wandered around the room. After Xia Mi roughly figured out the layout, she happily said, "Tomorrow I'll ask my homeroom teacher to let me stay overnight and move out! The company is my home, and this will be my new home from now on!"

“Okay.” Lu Mingfei nodded, discussing with the system when to move from the Regent Hotel to this place.

There are plenty of respectable excuses: the boss is also a member of the company, the Regent Hotel is too far away, this place is closer to the company... legitimate reasons are everywhere.

Chapter 50 You're also trying to cross the river by feeling my way? (Please continue reading!)

It's inconvenient to cook late at night, otherwise Lu Mingfei would have liked to show off his cooking skills to Xia Mi.

The system doesn't care. After moving to the other side, there's plenty of time. Xia Mi will definitely not escape the Buddha's palm.

It's calculating in detail how to bring the two people closer. There are many types of relationships between men and women, and not just any type is suitable for in-depth communication.

When the system analysis finally understood this... Lu Mingfei's brain couldn't keep up, as it touched on a blind spot in his knowledge.

I was busy with other things before and didn't expect to start so quickly. When I was making a plan, something else came up. Since Xia Mi hadn't decided to move in yet, she didn't need the knowledge immediately, and the system didn't immediately update it.

Fortunately, this knowledge isn't needed immediately, so there's still room for improvement.

After viewing the house, Xia Mi wasn't in a hurry to eat dinner. Instead, she sat down in the living room with Lu Mingfei.

She lay lazily on the sofa without any proper posture.
