Chapter 41 The Sexiest Speech
To Lu Mingfei's surprise, Caesar, who was said to be a Casanova, inexplicably thanked Lu Mingfei and then walked to the microphone, with Lu Mingfei a few steps behind him.
Caesar surveyed everyone present like an emperor, while Lu Mingfei watched him inspect the room, silently praying that this guy wouldn't go crazy like Boss Cao.
As it turns out, normal people don't go crazy, and even if they're not perfectly normal, they wouldn't go crazy. Caesar simply began his speech, his tone somewhat cold.
"I was very disappointed when I first arrived at this school because there were too many people."
He paused.
"The true elite will never be the majority."
Then there was talk about how everyone present was an elite.
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but look at Fingel, who was secretly eating food below, amidst thunderous applause. Fingel gestured that he would pack him some food later, and Lu Mingfei gave him a slight thumbs-up.
Next came Caesar's arrogant speech.
It's just some corroborating statements: because I invited you, you're all awesome; because we're awesome, we're elites; because we're elites, we're awesome.
So, because I'm so awesome, and the people I lead are all incredibly awesome, I'm inviting you all, these awesome elites, to join my awesome elite family.
That was the general idea, but he delivered it with great passion and fervor, far surpassing Cao Cao's oratory skills by twenty times, which stirred up the crowd and drew thunderous applause.
Just as Lu Mingfei was getting tense because he was thinking of Boss Cao's poem about drinking and singing, "How short is life?", Caesar pointed at him and said loudly.
"And now! At this very moment! Standing beside me is this most outstanding freshman! The winner of a day of freedom! The one who deciphered the Dragon Rune! The one who commanded the agents on the other side of Earth in battle without any casualties, even killing a sub-species! Lu Mingfei!"
He extended his hand to Lu Mingfei again, implying that such a powerful person had fallen to his feet, not for any other reason than his undeniable worth and ability.
He smiled at Lu Mingfei and spoke softly.
"Please stand next to me to give your speech, or you may refuse."
Refusing is impossible. He's already drunk alcohol and eaten, and it's all been digested and turned into energy to replenish his body. You can't make him vomit it up even if you ask him to.
So Lu Mingfei walked forward, in a cool and slow-motion manner, like the God of Gamblers entering a movie. It was really slow because he hadn't prepared a speech at all.
Actually, he had prepared some things; it was impossible for him to just say "eat well and drink well." But he listened to Fen Gou's slander and thought it was a birthday celebration for a young couple, so he prepared auspicious words like "a perfect couple."
But it turned out to be the boss's recruitment event. What do you expect him to say? And who is this "perfect couple" when he says they're a perfect couple?
But even in slow motion, things eventually come to an end, and Lu Mingfei finally walked up to the microphone.
There's absolutely no way he'd be stage-frightened. He's fought countless battles in his life, and he always had to mobilize people. How could he mobilize people if he just stammered and couldn't speak clearly?
But what should I say?
Lu Mingfei frowned, creating an extremely tense atmosphere, reminding everyone of his extraordinary performance during his first day of freedom, and they couldn't help but—
"A literary master once said that a speech should be like a woman's skirt, the shorter the better."
After saying this, Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, not to leave an opening for everyone to laugh, but because he suddenly remembered something.
That was before he transmigrated. Back then, it was a speech contest. The teacher explained that since he was a member of the literary society, he would definitely be a shoo-in for the speech contest.
The teacher was a good person. At that time, the class was full of outstanding students, including Chen Wenwen, Zhao Menghua, and Su Xiaoqiang. Anyone of them was more suitable to give a speech than him.
But the teacher still chose him in order to give this unremarkable student a boost.
That's the opening line he used back then. My friend wrote thousands of words, occupying the toilet at home and making that chubby Lu Mingze hold his pee while he rehearsed in front of the mirror until his aunt roared in fury and he slunk out.
What he was thinking at the time was, if I were to make a big splash like this, I might become a big shot or something.
Some people say that geniuses just need an opportunity. Today, the opportunity has come, and I must seize it to make Chen Wenwen look at me with new eyes.
So he went on stage and said this, but just when everyone should have been laughing, the vice principal coughed seriously, and the atmosphere that should have been laughing was immediately stifled.
Thousands of eyes were fixed on him, the scene was colder than an iceberg.
Not yet the green version of Lu Mingfei, who was still struggling to survive, could only awkwardly say that he was not prepared, and thus delivered the sexiest speech in history—in his words.
But times have changed. Caesar is no longer the vice principal with a brain fart like the Spring Festival Gala censors.
He laughed heartily in support, and everyone else laughed too, making sure to finish laughing right after Lu Mingfei finished recounting his experience.
Then Lu Mingfei felt something stirring within him, and he took a deep breath—
"Ring ring ring ring—"
Everyone's cell phones rang at the same time, except for Lu Mingfei's, whose phone had been left with Fen Gou while he was changing clothes because he didn't have a pocket.
He looked around the room and smiled with relief, as if he had heard the song of Guan Yu. Then Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and smiled as he spoke.
"Looks like I'm out of luck. All I can offer you is what might be the sexiest speech in the school's history, Caesar?"
Everyone burst into laughter, and then they all pulled out their phones, including Caesar. But after he opened his phone, his smiling eyes suddenly turned serious.
He turned on speakerphone and played the audio through the microphone so that everyone could hear it.
"Please go to the window, look towards the school gate, and hold your breath. When guests arrive, the host should be prepared."
The voice on the phone was a deep, altered voice, which made Lu Mingfei wonder if everyone in this mixed-race world was a show-off, since they were all so arrogant.
The same sound was playing on everyone's phones, so everyone swarmed towards the window. Luckily, Caesar was a rich guy and the Ambrose Pavilion he rented had huge floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing everyone to see the massive cast iron carved school gate.
As a cold light illuminated the gates of night, a tremendous roar temporarily deafened everyone.
The massive iron gate was thrown into the air by the shockwave of the explosion, flying a full twenty meters before falling back down, where gravity caused it to embed itself in the ground.
The alarms blared throughout the campus, and the roar of motorcycles echoed across the campus, reminding Lu Mingfei of street thugs who would rev their motorcycles. However, these people were not thugs; they were armed with guns and accurately destroyed all the surveillance cameras.
This made Lu Mingfei look at Caesar with some unease, after all, he had witnessed a similar scene on his very first day at the school.
"Is this a continuation of a day of freedom?"
Unfortunately, Caesar frowned, and a voice announced over the phone that war had begun. Then Norma's voice, the school's AI secretary, echoed throughout the campus.
"Red Alert! Red Alert! Dragon Invasion! Dragon Invasion! Freshmen, remain in your dorms. Students who have completed the Battlefield Survival course will receive weapons and load Frigga ammunition. Live ammunition is prohibited!"
