Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 25

【…】

The resounding bell tolled, and all living beings in the vast wilderness knelt in worship, as devout as if in a sacrifice, and whispered in a trance like ancient monks worshipping Buddha.

"Word magic can actually be further developed?"

Lu Mingfei saw the place they were worshipping at, a royal palace located atop a snow-capped mountain. Within the palace grounds, even every snowflake seemed to submit to its boundless majesty.

If the original "Word of Power: Emperor" was merely an emperor of the dragon lineage, then the advanced "Supreme" is the supreme being of all things in the world, possessing an overbearing attitude of "all land under heaven belongs to the king."

"But what does this mean?"

Lu Mingfei didn't understand, but he knew that Word Spirits could be upgraded. For example, "Word Spirit: Netherworld Illumination" could be upgraded to a higher-level Word Spirit like "Word Spirit: Vajra Realm," transforming from a simple invisibility domain into a domain that integrates invisibility and defense.

He had always thought that the deep decryption the system mentioned before was the advancement to a higher level of Word Power, but now it seems that's not the case.

[...It cannot be determined at this time...]

The system didn't know either; it just kept parsing until it succeeded.

"Um……"

But as Lu Mingfei watched the palace gradually dissipate, something suddenly occurred to him: "System, do you think it's possible that the 'Emperor' we've learned about is actually a simplified version of the 'Supreme'?"

The emperor is domineering, and the supreme ruler is even more domineering; in terms of effect, they are of the same ilk.

There's a problem with Chapter 47 (Please read on!)

It's not that the "Emperor" has been promoted to "Supreme," but rather that the system has successfully restored its original form.

After a period of analogical analysis, the system acknowledged this possibility: [...It's not impossible. Currently, "Supreme" might have a broader and more comprehensive scope than "Emperor," but further confirmation and testing are needed...]

[...Perhaps we could use this as bait to tentatively probe whether there are any lurking spying agents...However, this method carries a certain risk...]

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes, got out of bed, and muttered to himself, "This is the first fire to burn away the rebellious!"

It sounded like the faint tolling of a bell, and like ripples spreading in all directions.

Many ordinary people in the city suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation, whether they had stayed up all night or were already fast asleep. But occasional heart palpitations were too normal; everyone has minor ailments, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

The more agile hybrids, however, felt a strange fear and unease, as if they were prey being hunted by a hunter. It was like hiding under a tree during a storm, worried that the next bolt of lightning would strike them on the head.

Su Enxi, Jiu Demai, and Ling Zaolao, who were staying in the same hotel suite and were extremely close to Lu Mingfei, suddenly felt as if they were being choked and couldn't breathe.

They were like rebels sent to the guillotine, their heads immediately severed by the executioner's blade, which carried the emperor's will.

The three women woke up instantly.

Even more dramatic than the three girls' reactions came from Xia Mi, who was fast asleep in her dormitory bed at Shilan Middle School. She jumped up and banged her head against the ceiling.

A deep thud made the already palpitating roommates open their eyes, their vision blurry as they looked at the figure who had stood up in the dark dormitory, hands covering his head.

"Xia Mi, what's wrong?"

"I think I heard a sound like something hitting the wall?"

"Me too, I thought one of us had fallen out of bed, it gave me a fright."

"..."

After a few short exchanges, the roommates were much more alert, while Xia Mi, touching the spot on her head where she had bumped her head against the wall, grimaced in the darkness but remained silent.

She just dreamt that a dragon-slaying sword was about to cut her, although the sword didn't actually hit her in the end, it was still terrifying.

Death is not the most terrifying thing; the most terrifying thing is the torment of waiting for death.

"Xia Mi, are you alright?"

Only then did they realize that someone had indeed bumped into the wall, and they all looked at Xia Mi, who was still touching her head.

"It's nothing, I just had a nightmare." Xia Mi finally spoke up: "Then I suddenly jumped out of bed and hit my head on the ceiling."

"Oh? You were really scared! Jumping that high all of a sudden, that must have been incredibly stressful. Did you have a nightmare?"

"..."

Lu Mingfei looked around as if he had simply said those words and nothing had happened.

After waiting a while longer and seeing that nothing seemed to be happening, he lay down again and went back to sleep.

It seems that this "supreme" is similar to the "emperor," needing to hear a voice as a medium?

……

In the morning, Lu Mingfei first went to school to get a leave slip, and then went to buy a house and a cell phone.

Lu Mingfei thought it would be good to buy one for Xia Mi, and there was a legitimate reason: she needed a phone for work so she could answer calls. He could then save his phone number directly into her phone.

Should the nickname be Lu Mingfei or Boss Lu?

As for Chu Zihang... he comes from a wealthy family, how could he not have a cell phone? There's no need to buy one for him.

I contacted the previous salesperson of the Liguang residential complex and paid a 30% down payment to complete the purchase.

The saleswoman's eyes lit up when she looked at Lu Mingfei. He was so young, and although he didn't pay in full, he just casually took out hundreds of thousands of yuan. Whose rich family's child was he?

Do you want your older sister to be your first teacher and teach you some extracurricular knowledge that isn't taught in school?

However, the system didn't like this girl who only scored 7.5 even with makeup, and neither did Lu Mingfei.

There's Xia Mi with pretty faces, Mai Shude with long legs, Zero with loli-like features, Su Enxi with mature women, Chen Wenwen with literary youth, Liu Miaomiao with artistic temperament, and Su Xiaoqiang with rich heiress status. What can this ordinary real estate agent possibly compare to the mission objectives set by the system?

Although the saleswoman was extremely proactive, the system remained completely unmoved. Lu Mingfei's assessment was that she wasn't even as generous as Su Enxi in this regard; how could you compete with them?

Bad review!

When it came time to pay, Lu Mingfei suddenly became worried. "System, this house price seems a bit high, doesn't it? And isn't a 30-year loan too long? Our country has only been established for a little over 50 years..."

[...Given the current policies, soaring urban housing prices are inevitable. Looking at the development history of developed countries like those in Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, infrastructure development has been a key driver of economic growth...]

After a rigorous analysis, Lu Mingfei realized that he actually possessed this knowledge. It seemed he had heard it from his uncle, Lu Gucheng, while watching the news.

They have a whole set of theories, and the system is quite optimistic about rising housing prices, especially with the domestic economy booming...

"What if the hybrid and the dragon fight and demolish the house with the 30-year mortgage..." Lu Mingfei asked again. After all, it was his first time buying his own house, not to mention that he had spent hundreds of thousands of yuan and poured his heart and soul into it, so he couldn't help but worry.

[...The fact that we are of mixed race should not be revealed, lest it cause internal conflict within the human race...]

The system slowly analyzed the situation for Lu Mingfei, telling him not to panic.

After buying the house and checking it out, the system felt there were no problems. Then, it went to the company that Su Enxi had arranged to visit to see how things were going.

The company is a small three-story building, totaling more than 600 square meters. It is still in the final stages of finishing up, cleaning up the garbage and sweeping the floor.

The first floor houses the reception area and a tea lounge for guests. The second floor is the office area; the limited number of workstations makes it seem quite spacious, and a folding bed can be easily set up for sleeping. The third floor is the management office area, consisting of individual offices. The boss also has a separate room within his office, which is no different from a normal bedroom.

Lu Mingfei thought about the TV shows he had watched, and his thoughts wandered a bit. He felt that this room wasn't meant for serious business.

At noon, the workers finished packing up and left the site. The books about dragons were carefully packed and moved into the third-floor library, filling several large bookshelves.

The system picked up a book and started reading it. It wasn't until the afternoon when Shilan Middle School let out that it got into the car and headed to the school.

Go pick up Xia Mi and bring her over to familiarize herself with the place.

……

After waking up, Mai asked Su Enxi, who was sitting on the sofa diligently working on the computer, and complained, "I had a strange dream last night. I dreamt that I rebelled in ancient times and was sent to the guillotine. It felt so real that I woke up with a start."

Su Enxi paused slightly as she typed on the keyboard.

While washing up, Ling heard these faint words and immediately came out of the bathroom with her mouth full of toothpaste foam. She and Su Enxi asked in unison, "When did you remember?"

After saying this, the two women exchanged a glance, and then the three of them looked at each other. Their expressions tightened, and they immediately became serious.

Now there's no need for collusion; something's definitely wrong!

P.S.: Please keep reading! It's very important to keep reading during the new book period!

Chapter 48 Big Job

"I dreamt that I almost died."

"I was stabbed to death for rebelling."

"I'm almost there..."

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Su Enxi's expression was very serious. "Could it be Xia Mi playing tricks?"

Of course, there are more than just the three of them and Chu Zihang, who are mixed-race, in the city. Su Enxi and her group also had a group of subordinates who were brought here to be stationed. They are not all mixed-race, but many of them have diluted bloodlines.

So last night they all felt somewhat like they were facing the king's wrath, only much less so than the three women.

The feeling was also categorized according to bloodline level; the thinner the bloodline, the lower the killing intent directed at them. The three women's bloodlines were far superior to theirs, so it was normal that the killing intent was stronger towards them. As for ordinary people, the influence was negligible, almost non-existent. So some people said there was, some said there wasn't, and after a whole morning, Su Enxi finally confirmed by noon that they had all experienced something unusual the previous night.

If we exclude the possibility of a new hybrid awakening a powerful incantation here and other strong individuals causing trouble, then there are only two and a half known individuals in the city capable of this.

Odin and Xia Mi count as two, and Lu Mingfei's situation is mysterious, so it's not impossible for him to pull off something big, so he counts as half.

"It doesn't seem like something she would do." Zero shook her head, dismissing the possibility. How could Xia Mi just throw a firecracker around for no reason?

"Odin?"

"It's not usually around here, is it?"

"Is someone watching this place?"

"Are you trying to commit suicide right under the noses of two dragon kings? Do you want to die a spectacular death while leaving us completely bewildered?"

"Will Lu Mingfei have any ideas about this? Should we ask him?"

“Lu Mingfei, he can’t be considered a complete mixed-race person, right? He might not react to this. ...Why don’t we contact the boss first and see what he says?”

"Anyone who can suppress people throughout the city isn't an ordinary person. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I think it's safer to ask the boss for support."

"Me too!"

"..."

After a round of discussion and analysis, and a rough investigation, the three women couldn't come to a conclusion. They also felt that this was a big deal, so they went directly to the boss for a decision.

But at this crucial moment, the boss went missing again... The boss's whereabouts were unpredictable, and they had no way to contact him directly. Most of the time, they had to wait for the boss to contact them and give them tasks.

They collected detailed data in the morning and noon to determine the sequence of events, but in the afternoon they found they couldn't contact the boss. Most of the afternoon had passed quickly. Lu Mingfei didn't have a cell phone, but fortunately, he wasn't completely out of contact; they managed to reach him through the driver.
