Cheating
" There's actually a shortcut to pass the 3E exam." Fingel threw the goose leg he had eaten clean back onto the plate, leaned forward, and looked at Lu Mingfei with burning eyes." All exams are methods. Methods are invented by people, and things invented by people must have flaws!”
Lu Mingfei was stunned. He felt the joy of a drowning man grabbing onto a straw. If it wasn't the cynic Fingel in front of him but Nono, he would definitely not be able to resist hugging him.
"Senior Brother!" He changed to the most intimate form of address that he could use. The Chinese was broad and profound, and calling him "Senior" was far less intimate than calling him "Senior Brother". He felt like a chivalrous teenager who had formed a gang to explore the world." What good ideas do you have?"”
"Since you've already treated me to food, I'll tell you everything!”Fingal was obviously very convinced by this. He patted his chest and said," Junior Brother, do you know how many lines of dragon language have been deciphered so far?”
"I don't know." Lu Mingfei shook his head." I don't know anything. Even if you say that Long Wen is a turnip, I'll believe it."”
" There are only 76 sentences in total," Fingal instructed." The last person who knew the Dragon Language grammar in history was Nicholas Flamel. He probably died in the 15th century, but some people say he's still alive. He's a medieval Paris scribe. He doesn't seem to have accomplished anything, but…"
"I know him. I've seen Harry Potter.”Lu Mingfei raised his hand." Although it's pirated, there aren't any typos.”
Fingal frowned." What Harry Potter? Don't come up with some novel plot to interrupt me. We are now discussing a great civilization that ended in the Mythological Era!”
"Can I pass tomorrow's 3E exam after I say 'Great Civilization'?”
"Nonsense, I also know the principle of applying what I've learned. If it's useless, why would I talk to you now? You only learned this in the second grade 'Alchemy Principles II' class. I'm telling you this in advance because it will be helpful for your exam tomorrow!”Fingal said very seriously," In short, this scribe is the only alchemy master in history who refined the Philosopher's Stone. This is because he bought an alchemy manuscript when he was copying the only book. The book recorded the Dragon Language grammar. After he learned the secret of the dragon language, he did not pass it on to others. Instead, he summarized 76 obscure incantations. These incantations were passed down, and they were the number of dragon words that we could decipher.”
"What is the Philosopher's Stone?”Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask.
"It's the fifth element that can break through the boundary between matter and spirit. This is the work of the alchemy master Raymond Slougher (The Book of Nature's Mysteries-the divine weapon mentioned by the fifth element. Dragons study spirit, humans study matter, and the Philosopher's Stone is a magical thing that can penetrate matter and spirit. Alright…these are all to be learned in Alchemy Principles II. I can give you my class notes when the time comes. Now shut up and don't ask these useless questions!”"That's why the content of the exam has always been these 76 sentences. The number of questions derived from them is also very limited, about 200 questions.”
"Senior Brother, are you saying that there is a question bank?" Lu Mingfei was enlightened.
" Of course." Fingal looked cautiously in the direction of the door." Keep your voice down, or someone might eavesdrop." Of course, there is a question bank, but I will tell you how to set the questions first. The exam was very simple. When you entered the examination room, they would only give you a piece of white paper and a pencil. They would not give you any hints. However, they would play the recording of the Dragon Character in a very low voice. If you didn't pay attention, you would think that it was just a mosquito humming. However, for dragon descendants, these dragon incantations would resonate directly with their spirit and would appear extremely clear. You just had to record them in Korean according to the sound you heard. There were a total of 12 questions, and those who answered 6 correctly would pass. Those who answered 8 correctly would be able to take advanced courses, and those who answered 10 correctly would be'S 'grade students!”
"There are more than 200 questions!" Lu Mingfei was a little dumbfounded." You can differentiate between two hundred different mosquito hums?”
"You really are a Dragon Bloodline. Some of the humming sounds in your mind are like thunder. I used to be an 'A' class too. At that time, I felt a deafening chanting sound in my mind.”
"That means it's not multiple-choice question 7." Lu Mingfei's forehead started to sweat." So what if there's a question bank? I can still memorize more than 200 questions?”
Fingel stretched his arm across the table and patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder." You have me!”
"Are you going to…text me the answer?”Lu Mingfei guessed," I'll tell you in advance that I don't have a phone yet.”
" No, no," Fingal waved his hand." You don't know how Cassel College prevents cheating. Amazing, the surveillance equipment on site included both scientific and alchemy technology, which would completely block all signals attempting to enter the examination hall. " Ordinary methods won't work, but think about it. If you knew the questions beforehand…" Fingal's eyebrows twitched, like a street vendor who was trying to entice passers-by to buy fake 'cordyces'," then nobody would know!”
"Then do I still have to memorize the question bank?" Lu Mingfei was a little dumbfounded." More than 200 mosquito questions? There are only six hours left before the exam starts. Do you think I'm a genius?”" You're an 'S'-level student, so you should be a genius... Maybe something went wrong, so you're so stupid... I want to tell you the real secret. The biggest flaw in the artificial examination system of Kassel Academy is that..." Fingal paused." They use old papers!”
"Cycle?" Lu Mingfei didn't understand.
"To put it simply, there are a total of eight sets of test papers. They will be used once every eight years.
I never change!"
"Are the professors out of their minds? Isn't this a secret?" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened. As a student from China's high school, he could not believe that the examination system of the Dragon Slaying Academy could be so stupid. China had restored the college entrance examination for decades. Which year did the teachers not come up with hundreds of sets of mock questions? When did it repeat itself? Kong Yiji said that there were four ways to write the word 'Hui'. There were at least forty ways to write a question in the college entrance examination.
"Think about it, how many people can come here to take the exam? " There are dozens of them every year." Fingal shrugged." And they are all geniuses. They will graduate in four years and join the executive department after graduation. They will search for the dragon race's relics all over the world. How can they record the exam questions and leak them to the freshmen? " So, it's actually safe to go once every eight years, but sometimes…" He started to raise his eyebrows again as if he was flirting with Lu Mingfei." I told you that I've been in school for eight years, right?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Lu Mingfei understood immediately and stood up excitedly." So the exam questions this year are exactly the same as the one you had when you first entered school!”
"3000 dollars is non-negotiable. If you have no money, you can postpone the payment. After deducting the 497 dollars you already treated me and the 2 dollars I spent drinking coke at the train station in Chicago, you still owe me 2501 dollars. I'll round it off and buy this set of questions for 2500 dollars.”Fingal also stood up. He spoke as fast as a bullet and as firm as a knife."10! 9! 8……”
"Wait a minute…Hey!" Lu Mingfei waved his hand forcefully.
“7!6!”
"You should at least look at the goods, right? Senior Brother 7, you can't force me to buy and sell!”
“5!4!”
"But what if the questions are wrong? Do you have three packs after sale? Do you have a receipt?"
“3!2!”
"Hey, big brother! Can you hear me talking to you…Damn it…Deal!”Lu Mingfei seemed to have collapsed. He sat down and panted heavily.
"You should have said so earlier!" Fingal finished the sparkling wine in his glass and exhaled a mouthful of carbon dioxide." I knew that my eight years of study weren't for nothing. Today, I finally exchanged my knowledge for money for the first time!”
"Don't you feel ashamed?" Lu Mingfei hung his head." To think that I thought you were the kind of idiot senior brother who wore thick glasses and had no girlfriend!”
"What's this mess? I used to be an A-grade student of this academy, just like Caesar! Back then, there were also many girls who admired me and left many ambiguous emails in my school's mailbox!”Fingel patted his thick chest. The German suddenly showed a smug smile like a businessman who was making a deal.
"Don't brag! I can tell from your hair that you're a dead bachelor!”Lu Mingfei's heart ached for the 2500 dollars he had just thrown out, and he retaliated fiercely.
Fingal looked dejected." Unfortunately, I wanted to earn enough credits to graduate in three years and become the youngest commissioner in the executive department, so I ignored their kindness... By the time I wanted to pay attention, they had already become the birds of the executive department and flew all over the world.”
“OK! OK! It's enough. It's 12500 dollars, right? You don't have it now. Can I get a scholarship for you?”Lu Mingfei wanted to clarify the details of the transaction."Also, what if the questions are wrong? Also, what 497 yuan? Why don't I remember treating you to such expensive food?”
"Of course, of course, delaying payment is absolutely not a problem. Professor Guderian would love to see you prove that you have the potential to be an S-grade student and give you the scholarship. " As for the 497-yuan meal," Fingal picked up the goose leg bone on the plate and knocked on the edge of the plate," half of it is in your stomach now, and the other half is in mine.”
"Isn't this the academy's supper service?”Lu Mingfei was stunned.
"Of course, but they charge money! Do you think you don't have to spend money to eat with pure silver cutlery? If you don't spend money on food, they will at most give you a plastic fork!”
"But we didn't pay at all!”
"We swiped your student ID…"
"Student ID?" Lu Mingfei didn't react in time.
"Your student ID card is also a credit card guaranteed by the City Bank. As an aristocratic'S 'grade student, your credit limit is as high as 100,000 USD. Don't you think you're very loyal by treating a useless senior brother like me, who only has 80 USD left, to a meal of 497 USD?”
"That is to say…I have already started owing money?”Lu Mingfei was confused.
" Oh, don't worry. It's common to owe money here," Fingal comforted him." Look at my financial situation. It's negative thirty thousand."”
"Do you know that you are robbing?" Lu Mingfei had already lost all hope in this senior brother's shamelessness.
" Although I'm trying to trick you into treating me," Fingal pointed at the bedside of Lu Mingfei's bed," just thank me for the military chamber pot I gave you."”
"But I just want to stand on your head and pee…"
Infiltrator (1)
Late at night, on the basement floor of the library, the red light at the entrance flashed once per second. This was a sign that the security system was operating normally. Everything was quiet except for the occasional high-speed sound of the hard drive. The huge central mainframe was placed here, from the first underground floor to the sixth underground floor. If it was exposed on the ground, the size of the central mainframe would be equivalent to a small building. The highest security standards were implemented here. The eye mask, voiceprint, and fingerprint recognition systems were all activated. The outer wall was made of alloy plates that could resist explosives. The soil outside the outer wall was solidified by pouring glue. The bottom layer was injected with thousands of tons of cement. Other than bearing the weight, it was like a huge shield. 24 hours a day, the infrared laser scanned every area, even the gaps that could only allow rats to pass through.
The sound of footsteps came closer and closer, like the sound of military boots nailed with iron soles. Sensing the approach of outsiders, the red light at the entrance began to flash more frequently. As the sound of footsteps got louder and louder, the security system could not identify the person from the sound of footsteps. The danger index gradually increased and approached the threshold of the alarm.
The footsteps finally stopped in front of the entrance. The person ignored the eye mask, voiceprint, and fingerprint recognition system and used a black card without a logo to swipe the card slot.
The moment the black card flashed, the alert level dropped sharply. The infrared laser scanner was cut off, hundreds of cameras were cut off, and the warning light of the security system turned green. With a click, the nine metal doors leading to the central mainframe were unlocked at the same time.
On the top floor of the library, Professor Manstein and Professor Guderian were looking at each other silently. At this time, Professor Manstein's watch beeped rapidly. He looked down at his watch and was suddenly stunned. His watch was a monitoring terminal, which clearly showed that the security system had entered hibernation mode. When no one was on duty late at night, the security system should not enter hibernation mode.
"Executive, executive, send a few people to the library. Norma's security system has gone into hibernation.”Professor Manstein turned on his phone and rushed to the elevator.
Professor Guderian was stunned for a moment. He put down the sealed jar of the Frozen Sea Fragment and followed Professor Manstein.
The elevator reached the first floor of the library. This was an elegant and luxurious antique building. The first floor had a hall that was nearly ten meters high. It was as magnificent as the Sistine Chapel, with a clear gothic style. In the dead of night, Professor Guderian and Professor Manstein were the only ones in the library. They walked quickly through the main hall that was paved with terra-ground granite tiles and came to the beautiful carved cherry wooden door. There was a strong knock on the door. Professor Manstein opened the door and saw a tall and thin German man standing in the shadows. He looked to be in his fifties and was wearing a pure black suit. Behind him were two young men in the same attire. The young man was still wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night, but from the shape of his face, he looked like a pair of twin brothers. He was holding a special black passcode box.
"Professor Vonschneider, you came in person.”Professor Manstein said.
"Professor Manstein, Professor Guderian.”The expressionless Professor Vonschneider greeted him calmly," We also noticed Norma's Ann."
The entire system has gone into hibernation."
He slowly walked into the main entrance of the library. The wheels of the small cart in his hand rubbed against the shiny granite floor, making a heart-palpitating sound. He walked into the area where the lights could shine, but no one could see his face clearly. His face was covered with a black mask, and a gas pipe led to the cylinder on the car. The place that the mask did not cover was a dark red scar, and the old injury almost ruined his entire face. His breathing was deep and thick, like a broken bellow, but his iron-gray eyes swept across the faces of his two colleagues like sharp blades.
The two professors looked away at the same time. No one in this college liked to look at Professor Vonschneider, the head of the executive department. It was like staring at the tip of a knife from a few centimeters away, making people inexplicably tremble.
"There are no traces of intruders.”One of the young men behind Professor Vonschneider whispered into his ear.
"No dragon-type spiritual fluctuations have been detected.”said another young man. Their voices were completely indistinguishable.
"It's late at night. Only you guys are here. Did you guys monitor anything unusual?”Professor Vonschneider asked his colleagues coldly.
Professor Manstein spread his hands and smiled reluctantly. As the head of the Discipline Committee, he was in charge of the students. He had to maintain a little respect in front of the executive department.
"Don't be nervous. There's nothing unusual. I'm just worried about thieves. Tomorrow is the 3E exam, and maybe some students want to hack into Norma's system to get the exam questions or something.”He tried to liven up the atmosphere. He felt like a spy being questioned by a CIB commissioner.
" Norma's security system cannot be cracked. It is designed to be an eternal loop.”Professor Vonschneider completely ignored Professor Manstein's smile." Students trying to steal the exam questions has nothing to do with the executive department. We only care about pure-blooded dragons.”
Professor Manstein could only look at Professor Guderian and shrugged with a smile that said," You can be as cold and tough as you want. I'm like this anyway." He regretted calling the executive department because he was too nervous.
"If dragons invade the library, they shouldn't need to use the main entrance, right?”Manstein scratched his bald head.
"None of us know how many changes dragons have. Besides, the dragon kings are about to enter the peak period of awakening. It is never wrong to be vigilant. This is the quality that a soldier should have.”Professor Vonschneider raised his voice to the empty space in the hall." Norma, why is the security system dormant?”
The crystal chandelier above the hall suddenly lit up, and the bright light drove away the darkness and cold atmosphere. The magnificent library hall was displayed in front of everyone.
" Professor Vonschneider, Professor Manstein, Professor Guderian, this is a routine sweep. The garbage data is being cleared. I've suspended the security system, opened the data shield, and sent the garbage data out.”A calm female voice echoed in the hall." In short, I opened the door and was taking out the trash.”
"Is the amount of redundant data that big? I need you to clean up late at night. When you open the door, you will have a flaw. You should do it when there are other people present.”Professor Vonschneider said.
"Before the Dragon Kings learn how to use computers, I think I'm still safe.”Norma's voice carried a hint of laughter.
"They are very good at learning." Professor Vonschneider was obviously friendlier to Norma than to his two colleagues." How much time will it take to clean the data?”
" It's done. I've rebooted the security system. The next time I take out the trash will be seventeen years later. During this period, Asgard is absolutely safe.”
"Sounds like I haven't had to patrol the library at night for seventeen years.”Professor Vonschneider laughed unpleasantly." It's late at night. It's time for you to sleep. I won't disturb you anymore. Good night, Madam."”
"Good night, gentlemen." With this sound, the crystal chandelier and all the table lamps on the table dimmed. The library returned to the silence of the night, leaving only a few warm yellow iron wall lamps to illuminate it.
Professor Vonschneider turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly turned back." The access record shows that you were using the ancient books of the Dragon Language Research Area. These ancient books are all high-level confidential documents. What kind of academic problem made you study the ancient books here late at night?”
Professor Guderian felt as if all the fog covering him would be pierced through under his turbid and cold gaze. He had goosebumps all over his body. He didn't want to mention anything related to the White King. He looked at his old friend with a pleading gaze.
Professor Manstein was still holding his phone. Ten minutes ago, he had lit up the principal's phone and tried to call him to report the speculation of the " White King's Blood Descendant ". At this moment, he looked down at his phone and was silent for a short while.
"Is it a major academic breakthrough?" Professor Vonschneider asked in a low voice. No one could tell whether he was interested in the new discovery or was asking for an answer. Cold sweat dripped down Professor Guderian's forehead. He heard that Professor Vonschneider was also an outstanding scholar before he led the executive department. He had a deep foundation in the research of dragon bloodline. It would be difficult to fool him with some random reasons, and it would only lead to suspicion.
"White King." Professor Manstein said solemnly.
"White King?" Professor Vonschneider's pupils suddenly dilated.
"Professor Guderian and I guessed that the White King might be a female!”
"Female?" Professor Vonschneider's eyes widened." How can you come to such a conclusion?”
"If I share this academic result with you, will you ask for a name when you publish the thesis?”Professor Manstein was unusually serious.
"No, no, no. I'm not trying to plagiarize your research results.”Professor Vonschneider's expression changed slightly as he hurriedly waved his hand." I'm just very interested in this new topic. Indeed, why do we always consider the White King as a male dragon?" In its conflict with the Dark King, gender might also be a key factor!”
"That's good. When I've sorted out the detailed information, I'll definitely ask Professor Vonschneider to discuss it!”Professor Manstein said solemnly.
" Thank you for sharing this idea with me." Professor Vonschneider nodded thoughtfully and turned to leave. He continued to mutter," Yes, yes, what role does gender play in the power system of the dragon race?" It's a good question. Why do we always assume that the dragon kings are all males? There's no reason to say that dragons have a patriarchical system like humans…"
Professor Guderian looked back at Professor Manstein." The White King is a female dragon king?" This topic is very novel…"
" I'm just spouting nonsense," Professor Manstein interrupted him impatiently." We have to throw out something interesting for Vonschneider to think about, or we'll have to explain why he used confidential documents in the middle of the night. Vonschneider is a great fighter against dragons. His only problem is that he likes to think too much and still thinks he's a scientist.”
" But if the White King is really a female…" Professor Guderian was still deep in thought.
"Enough!" Professor Manstein interrupted him." I'm just spouting nonsense. Whether the White King is a male dragon or a female dragon will not be determined immediately, but I'm willing to give your student, Lu Mingfei, a chance. Tomorrow was the 3E exam, and many of the spells left behind by Dragon Emperor Nidhogg were part of the exam. If Lu Mingfei was a descendant of the Dark King, there would be some spells that would resonate with him. In that case, I'll completely forget about my guess.”
" Yes, yes, maybe..." Professor Guderian scratched his head hard, as if he was trying to pull off his gray hair like a wig." It's just that my pronunciation is not accurate.”
"Your heart for protecting your students is really overflowing with words.”Professor Manstein sighed and put away his phone.
"By the way, how did you know that Lu Mingfei didn't have any reaction to Emperor Yan Ling?”Professor Guderian suddenly remembered this.
"The school's website just updated the news.”Professor Manstein took out a small laptop from his pocket and opened it to link to the website of Kassel College. The headline had already become " Breaking news,'S 'grade student Lu Mingfei does not resonate with the Dragon Emperor Secret Instrument's incantation, the school is looking for the reason ". There was also a link below " The Night Watchmen's discussion forum is in heated discussion "!
"This…how did this leak out? I just realized this!" Professor Guderian was shocked." It's even on the school's news network!”
"Oh, your student Fingel is the person in charge of this year's Kassel College's campus news. He updated this news as a bystander.”Professor Manstein typed on the bottom right corner of the news.
Even Professor Guderian had to cover his face and think about what kind of unreliable students were in his group.
"I'm tired. Let's go back to sleep. Remember, your student only has one chance, which is tomorrow's 3E exam. If he doesn't resonate with all the dragon characters, he's either a fake dragon descendant or a White King descendant. I have to report it to the principal.”Professor Manstein said.
"This is the only way." Professor Guderian shook his head.
When he went out, Professor Guderian pulled the handle of the cherry wooden door. The moment he closed the door, he suddenly remembered something. It seemed that he had locked the door when he entered the library, but when Professor Manstein opened the door, did he turn the brass handle three times in the opposite direction? Professor Guderian could not remember clearly. He shook his head and decided not to think about it. He was tired and it was time to sleep. Every year's " Day of Freedom " was the most tiring day for the professors of this college. The students were too mischievous.
Forty meters underground, a burly figure folded his hands and shrank.
In the swivel chair, he lowered his head. Only the faint light from the screen illuminated his face.
Hiding in the shadows.
"Everyone else has left. In the hibernation interval of the security system, the camera
If the machine was not working, there would be no record of you entering.”Norma's voice floated in the air
"I'll put the security system to sleep again when you leave later."
Why are you here?"
Infiltrator (Part 2)
"Can't I see an old friend?" The person curled up in the swivel chair smiled. His chin, which had just been shaved, was ashen." Entering the Eva personality activation program.”
"Why do you care so much about appearances? I am still me. Whether it is Norma's personality or Eva's personality, in the deepest part of my heart, I am still me.”Norma whispered.
The huge screen suddenly dimmed, leaving only a large number of red and green lights flashing in the darkness. A huge amount of personality data poured into the super host, like seawater flowing into a river. The hard disk light, the data flow indicator, and the host frequency indicator were all flashing at ten times the speed, and it was getting faster and faster. Finally, the almost crazy frequency had already taken control of the rhythm of the entire basement. The ashen chin that was illuminated by the faint light moved, revealing a faint smile.
Suddenly, all the lights went out, and the basement fell into absolute darkness.
A beam of light shone down from above, standing in front of the swivel chair. It was like snow, and the fragments of fluorescent light drifted down slowly in the beam of light. A girl's shadow stood in the middle of the beam of light, flickering with a faint light but transparent. Her long black hair hung down to her feet, but the ends of her hair floated in the air. She was wearing a silk dress that looked like pajamas, barefoot, and smiling.
“EVA。”The person in the swivel chair slowly reached out and entered the light.
"All you can touch is air. Why do you still have to reach out your hand?”Eva said softly.
"I just like holding your hand. It's a habit of mine.”The man said in a low voice. The fluorescent fragments fell into his palm and disappeared in an instant.
The Eva covered his palm with a translucent hand, but it did not bring any touch. Those were just illusions of light and shadow, and 3D imaging technology retained the lost memories. The man gently closed his hand and held it in the air, as if he was really holding a girl's hand.
"At that time, you would hold my hand for more than ten hours a day. When you let go, your hand would be covered in sweat.”Eva said.
"How would I know you were there if I didn't hold your hand?”the man said.
"You will always be such an insecure person. What is the use of strength to you?”Eva said.
"I'm just lonely."
After a long silence, Eva asked," What do you want to tell me?"”
"I want to ask you for a favor."
"You said that there are some things I can't do.”
"You can do this. I hope that this year's newly recruited'S 'grade student, Lu Mingfei, will pass the 3E exam, regardless of his potential.”
"If he really isn't a dragon descendant, letting him pass the 3E exam and sending him into the academy might lead to a leak.”
"Consider it a favor for a friend. It's not difficult for you.”
"It should be easy for Norma." Eva sighed softly.
"Are you Norma?" The man looked at the translucent and petite palm in his hand." I can't feel the touch of your hand. I often think that you're not here anymore."”
" I'm indeed not here anymore," Eva said softly." What you see is just your own memory.”
The man was silent for a long time." You're omnipotent here. I want a bottle of beer.”
" There's only a hard disk, a processor, and a router-only thing here. There's no beer. So many years have passed, and you've changed a lot, but you still can't change your liking.
Is it the bad habit of drinking?"
"I used to think that I would never drink again…because if I hadn't gotten drunk that night, perhaps I wouldn't have lost you.”The man said in a low voice," But all these years, I still couldn't get rid of alcohol because when I wasn't drinking, I would think of you. I hate memories. They always make people unable to tell who they are.”
" You are you. You have never changed."
The sound of " hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop " came from behind the man. He turned around vigilantly. His sleeves were rolled up, and the veins on his arms were exposed, twisting like snakes. An unparalleled power had already gathered. What he saw was a strange thing. It was a small human figure made of a metal ball and a metal rod. It was only the height of a man's knee. These parts that should have been scattered on the ground seemed to have been attracted by a powerful magnetic force. It even had a clown-like face. Two metal beads that acted as eyeballs rolled around, and the mouth made of metal rods opened, showing a flattering smile. It was holding a silver metal plate with a bottle of chilled Samuel Adarns stout on it.
When the man grabbed the bottle, the little thing nimbly took out a bottle opener and opened the bottle with a bang.
"Have a happy evening, sir.”The little thing's voice came from the surrounding sound amplification equipment, with the typical tone of a bartender.
"It's a little thing I make when I'm bored. It's the only one who plays with me here.”Eva said," It's called Adarns.”
"You actually named it after beer…Or do you think it's your Adam? Adam is spelled "Adam")? Perfect for your Eva.”The man took a sip of beer and waved at Adams."You can leave now, young man.”
The little thing smiled even cuter and stood behind him with a tray.
"'It likes tips." Eva said.
"It's not like you don't know that I'm very poor.”The man muttered, but he still took out a few quarters from his pocket and threw them on the tray.
Adanls bowed happily and let out a happy " hip " sound before disappearing into the darkness.
"I wanted to name it after you, but I was afraid you wouldn't like it.”Eva said.
"Am I that ugly?" The man shrugged." I also want to know the recent plans of those guys in the executive department. Can I?"”
"This is your real purpose, right?”Eva sighed." It's one thing to protect a freshman, but it's another to leak the executive department's plan.”
"You'll tell me, Eva, you've always promised me, haven't you?”the man said softly.
Eva was silent for a moment." The executive department has sent four teams to various parts of the world, namely Tibet, Xinjiang, Greenland, and Mexico. The team heading to Mexico has already arrived at the Aztec's 'Land of Herons' ruins. The team heading to Xinjiang has already arrived at Lop Nur. The teams from Iceland and Tibet are still searching for the location of the 'dragon tomb.' At present, it seemed that the team in Xinjiang was the closest to the dragon tomb. The Dragon King Norton's sleeping place was there, and there were only three months left before he woke up.”
"So the people sent to Xinjiang are all elites of the executive department?”
"It's an elite group led by the Rundstedt family.”
"Can they solve the problem? Dragon King Norton was also one of the best among the first generation.”
"The principal's arrangement shouldn't be wrong, right?”
"Principal? It wasn't as if he hadn't made any mistakes. For example…ten years ago.”the man said faintly.
"It's been ten years. Don't take it to heart. Although we won miserably, we succeeded.”
"But everyone is dead, except me.”The man shook the beer bottle.
"We're still looking at you like before!”Eva placed her other hand on the man's shoulder.
A few beams of light appeared around the man at the same time. In each beam of light stood a translucent figure. There was a girl in a leather suit with short red hair, a cold boy wearing sunglasses, a man in black with a solemn face like a monk, and a charming girl with long hair. Including the Eva, there were a total of six people. They all placed their hands on the man's shoulder. Their hands overlapped and melted together. They smiled at the same time, like the smile in an old photo. After many years, it was still as bright as before.
The man lowered his head and drank silently. He did not look at them or speak.
"Ev,A, can you not play this kind of game?”The man shook his head." They're not here. They're all sleeping under the frozen sea thousands of kilometers away, locked in those metal diving suits…They won't die, but they can never come back.”
The other beams of light disappeared, leaving only Eva. She sighed silently.
"Any news about the Crown Prince?" the man asked again.
If he was still alive, he would have become the Emperor by now. But I have no news of him."
"Of course he's still alive, I can still smell the rancid stench on him, and if he's dead, how am I supposed to kill him myself?”The man used an extremely cold voice to say this extremely vicious sentence.
" If only killing him can make you feel at ease," Eva said softly. "Then…kill him. I'll wait for your news.”
The man nodded and pulled his hand back from the emptiness. He was only holding air. He got up, raised his head, and drank his beer as he walked out. He couldn't see it with the naked eye, but the infrared scanning system that was as dense as a spider web was turned off. The camera system was automatically turned off, and the flashing red warning lights were switched to green.
The piezo electricity was cut off, and the security system entered a temporary hibernation state again.
"Oh right, there's no problem with Lu Mingfei's matter, right?”He remembered this and turned around.
" No problem, I'm just covering up for a freshman. I've done more bad things for you than this," Eva smiled." But can I ask why you did this?"”
" She seems like a good child." The man smiled." I have other reasons. I'll tell you when I've confirmed my thoughts." Lu Mingfei's'S 'grade wasn't assessed by you?”
"Grades above 'A' grade are personally assessed by the principal. I don't know the reason, I just sent him an admission notice.”
"I knew it. The old man is not a muddle-headed person, although he often pretends to be muddle-headed. He must have his reasons for giving Lu Mingfei an S grade. Maybe I'm being too nosy. Even if I didn't come to beg you, the old man would have thought of a way to let him pass the exam, right?”
"Although he claims to be on vacation in Greece, according to the signal, he's digging in the Sahara Desert.”
"I'm not interested in his current situation." The man shrugged and turned to leave.
He took two steps and stopped. He hesitated for a while, then walked to Adams who was in the corner and squatted down." Hey, brother, can you give me two coins back so I can buy a can of coke…I've given you all my money…Look, money is just a toy to you. There's no supermarket or coke machine here…"
Adams 'expression changed. He gripped the coins tightly and revealed a typical stingy expression.
"Adams, give your brother two coins.”Eva said.
Adams 'expression changed again. He looked very aggrieved. He carefully chose two old coins from the coin and handed them to the man.
"What a stingy person!" The man slapped its head hard. The puppet robot, which was constructed with ancient alchemy, could not stand the force and shattered into a pile of metal sticks and small balls rolling on the ground.
The man tossed two coins and drank his beer as he walked away. Eva silently looked at his burly and lonely back. Compared to ten years ago, his back was not as straight.
The metal door opened and closed, and the man really left. The girl in the illusionary light silently cried.
The short stick and the small ball rolled and gathered together. Adams took shape again and shot out. A few metal balls were rolling on the ground.
He ran to Eva and stayed in front of her for a while. Then, he suddenly raised his hands and waved them over his head. He swayed his body and performed an ugly dance. He shouted," Eva, happy! Eva, happy! Eva, happy!"
The coins in its hand fell to the ground, and the girl's tears fell on the metal floor, splashing a blue, illusory glimmer.
The Last Bet
"A new student, getting six of the top ten headlines in a day, I didn't even dare to think about it in the past.”
" He killed Caesar and Chu Zihang. If he had loaded his gun with real bullets instead of Friga bullets…"
"Little, little, little. Wouldn't that be fun? Point, point, point."
"If such a person doesn't make the top ten headlines, who will?”
"Who wants to post links to all eight roads of Ming Fei News?”
" Breaking news! The'S 'grade student Lu Mingfei did not resonate with the Dragon Emperor Secret Instrument's incantation. The school is looking for the reason!
"To whom does the crown of freedom belong? Who blew up Caesar and then Chu Zihang?
" An extravagant dinner. Lu Mingfei ordered a $497 feast late at night, including foie gras and caviar!
"The corridor outside Dormitory 303 in District 1 is filled with people!'
"Lu Mingfei's photo collection!
"Comparing Lu Mingfei's resume with the previous'S 'grade students.
"Looking at this resume, Lu Mingfei is simply a pig!
"At least now he has a credit limit of 100,000 USD.
"I really want to use my mouse to kill him!
“…．．．”
Professor Manstein, who was wearing pajamas, shook his head and closed the discussion forum page of Kassel Academy. Tonight was probably a sleepless night. The number of people online had reached a new peak. The students of the entire academy and even the teachers who used fake names were discussing the student named Lu Mingfei. Would a new S class bring hope, danger, or just a joke?
Professor Manstein was also a little confused. The White King's guess was not reliable. He also understood that there was no record of the White King's descendants being discovered so far.
He could only instinctively fear Lu Mingfei, who had shot Caesar and Chu Zihang.
He turned off the lights and sat alone in the dark for a while. He turned on his phone and answered the call." Father.”
Professor Manstein couldn't see it anymore, but the discussion forum continued to refresh at a high speed, and the comments kept moving up.
"Maybe he'll suffer in 3E tomorrow. I don't think he's good enough. Maybe the system misjudged his level.”Someone left a message.
"Misjudged an'S 'grade student? However, he did not resonate with the arcane incantation!”
"As long as it's a machine, there will always be misjudgments. Perhaps he has no dragon bloodline, so he's not afraid of Chu Zihang's golden eyes at all.”
"His greatest specialty is competitive games! What kind of funny specialty?"
"Hey! Why don't we start a bet? Who wants to bet that Lu Mingfei won't pass the 3E exam tomorrow?”Finger, who had the administrator's logo, left a message. His appearance had brought a wave of enthusiasm. This good-for-nothing senior brother who had not graduated for many years was a hot topic on the school network of Kassel Academy. He could always get some valuable news.
"I think he will have less if I bet on him. I bet 100 yuan that he can pass!" As Fingal said this, the people who had already opened the voting area
The theme.
"Fingal, are you going to bet all the chances of changing your credit card on your roommate?”Someone mocked.
The bet on the " No " side soared rapidly and soon exceeded 20,000 dollars, while the " Yes " side still only had 100 dollars. In just one night, everything about Lu Mingfei after he arrived in the United States had been dug out. No matter how one analyzed him, he was trash. He definitely wasn't like the legendary S-grade students with pure bloodlines and endless potential.
"Doesn't anyone have a little gambling spirit?”Fingal complained," You can't play like this. You can only win my 100 dollars. Now you bet that Lu Ming doesn't pass."
The odds for passing the exam are 1 to 1301."
"I bet 500 yuan that Lu Mingfei can pass the exam.”The ID was 'Murasame'
left a message.
In an instant, the discussion forum fell silent. That was Chu Zihang's ID. He rarely appeared in the discussion forum. This silent Chinese student, the leader of the Lionheart Clique, and a rare " A " grade student did not like long-winded discussions. He had actually bet 500 yuan on Lu Mingfei passing the exam…
"I bet 5000 yuan." A person with the ID " Dick Victor " left a message.
" Caesar," someone exclaimed.
"Bet that Lu Mingfei can't pass the exam.”After Caesar finished speaking, he disconnected the line, leaving behind a temporarily frozen discussion area.
Vaguely, it was the beginning of another competition. If there were such things as natural enemies in the world, then Caesar and Chu Zihang must be. In the students 'memories, the two of them had never reached an agreement on anything. However, there was finally one today. After the " One Day of Freedom " was miraculously ended by the freshman's two shots, the leaders of the Student Union and the Lionheart Society both announced their approval of the result.
Would they all admit that they had lost to a good-for-nothing? Losing the right to use the Norton Pavilion for a year and the right to pursue any girl in the academy without being rejected? The students thought that the two of them were crazy. Of course, the two of them might not need to worry about failing to pursue girls... Moreover, Chu Zihang's silence and celibacy made him seem very cold to women, and Caesar already had Nono, who was famous in the academy.
Caesar held the wireless keyboard and half-lay on the sofa in the hall of Amber Pavilion, watching the bets slowly rise on the huge projection screen. He logged out of the " Dictator " ID and logged in as " Sonic." This inconspicuous ID was silently hidden in the corner of the online list.
Nono held a cup of iced coffee and leaned against the wall behind him." You actually pay a lot of attention to Lu Mingfei.”
"Yes, and I don't know if he'll pass the 3E exam tomorrow.”Caesar admitted frankly," That's why I bet, but I never bet on the same side as Chu Zihang.”
"I know that 5000 yuan is nothing to you.”Nono put down the coffee and picked up the laptop bag beside her."I'm leaving. I've chosen Professor Manstein's class this semester, so I have to study hard. Call me if you need anything."”
"If you want to read, don't you feel cramped living in such a small dormitory with Susie? Moreover, she only shot you in the morning…She would do anything for Chu Zihang.”Caesar stretched out his hand as if he wanted to stop Nono." It's fine here. Amber Pavilion is much more comfortable than Norton Pavilion.”
Nono turned around by the door and looked at Kaiser coldly.
Caesar hurriedly raised his hands to show his innocence." I mean…the guest room! I have many guest rooms!"
" I chose to live in the dormitory not because of the rent. If I wanted to rent a villa on campus, I would have done so long ago." Nono pursed her lips." Besides, I don't like your Bugatti Veyron. Fortunately, you lost it today."”
She closed the door behind her, and Caesar put his hand into his brilliant golden hair, revealing a look of exasperation.
"The auction will be closed in three minutes! Those who haven't placed their bets yet, please place your bets immediately. All bets must be transferred to my account before the 3E exam tomorrow. I will manage it on your behalf. Otherwise, it will be considered invalid.”Fingel was curled up on the sofa in the activity hall of the dormitory in District 1. He was holding his laptop and shaking his head, his fingers bouncing on the keyboard.
Fingel sat up straight on the sofa and looked around at the dozen students around him with a serious expression."Listen, there are 42500 dollars betting on Lu Mingfei not passing the 3E exam, and only 600 dollars betting on Lu Mingfei passing the exam. The winner would split the loser's bet in proportion. I need you guys to lend me 10000 yuan to bet on Lu Mingfei at the last second! This way, we can win at least 40000 dollars! I'll give each of you double the reward! If you lend me money, I'll double it tomorrow morning! This was definitely insider information. It was a good opportunity that would never come again!”
The students looked at each other and then at Fingel's laptop screen. The amount of money bet on Lu Mingfei's failure was still rising rapidly. In just a few seconds, it was close to 50,000 yuan.
"These people…even if they win, they will only get a share of the 600 dollars. Why are they betting so enthusiastically?”Someone was puzzled.
"Is it because of some jealousy and panic? They were hoping that Lu Mingfei would suffer a terrible defeat…This was a man who had the right to pursue a girl without being rejected. If it was you, wouldn't you want to kick him out of the academy?”Another person answered," But based on your girlfriend's looks, you shouldn't mind this…"
"Hey! Hey! Gentlemen, please have a professional gambling spirit, I ask again
Can I raise the 10000 yuan I want?”Fingal interrupted them.
"But you already owe us a lot of money…"
"Sir, use your business acumen. This is like investing in a company, but the company is not doing well and is about to close down. However, a big opportunity suddenly came. As long as you inject some more funds, the company can turn losses into profits. What reason do you have not to increase your investment?”
Fingal said confidently.
"Are you really confident? Your roommate looks like a good-for-nothing…Didn't you say that he was so scared that he didn't even dare to go to the toilet? If you didn't stay in the room to guard him, would you?
Will nothing happen?"
"A good-for-nothing is also a piece of wood! As long as it can be burned!" Fingel expressed his 100% trust in his roommate.
"If you lose, your debt will be as high as 50000 yuan... If it's a triad usury, you'll probably be hacked to death, right?”
" It doesn't matter." Fingal shrugged." We're a high-level institution. We're all cultured people.”
The students looked at each other again and finally made up their minds like a leader."Alright, Fingal, we're willing to believe you. Although you always owe money, this has something to do with your credit limit dropping to the floor…Your personal integrity is still reliable. I'm willing to lend you 1000 dollars!”
"I'll give you 500 yuan."
“1000。”
In order to get a return on their investment, the old creditors gritted their teeth and opened their pockets again. The Cynic Fingal showed a happy expression like those old profiteers in Sinbad's story.
"Good! The total is 12500 dollars!" Fingel jumped onto the table, raised his index finger, and shouted,"How much time do we have left? We have to suddenly inject funds before the end. We can't let others know that we're operating in a black box!”
"34 seconds! I've already synchronized to the system time!”The elite of the school loan shark gang opened the countdown software on his laptop and gave the answer with the rigor of a scientist.
"Three to four seconds in advance, the bets are already locked. The last few seconds should be the time when the capital injection is the most concentrated.”someone reminded.
"Has the ID been logged in?”
"Using Jumanji, already logged in.”
"The bet on Lu Mingfei not being able to pass has increased…It broke 70,000 dollars…The bet on him being able to pass is also 2000 dollars.”
"It's okay, don't worry. After we put in our 12500 yuan, we'll be the banker! We will win 80% of the money!" said Fingel with a strong encouragement.
The bets on both sides were flipping at high speed. It seemed that new bets were added every second, and the time to close the market was getting closer and closer. Everyone's heart was racing like the traders in the stock exchange.
" 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4." The countdown timer licked his slightly dry lips." Capital injection!”
"We succeeded! Seal!" When Fingel saw the " successful injection " window pop up, he jumped up and waved his hands. His messy beard and hair danced in the air, making his head look like a dandelion that was about to fly away.
"Bet that the amount of money he can't pass exceeds 100000 yuan! The biggest gamble in the history of Cassel Gambling Club! "We…" The big brother of the loan shark group was encouraged by Fingal. He clenched his fists and shouted, but he was suddenly stunned.
The people watching the screen quieted down. Fingal, who was jumping around, also felt the strange silence in the lounge.
"What's wrong?" He turned his head and asked.
"The amount of money bet on Lu Mingfei is…39400 dollars. At the last second, someone added 20000 dollars…" Someone's voice was trembling.
"Who's messing things up? Who had insider information? You want to snatch food from a poor dog like me?”Fingal was furious." Log-in to my administrator ID and find out who he is!”
A minute later, Fingel was stunned in front of his laptop. The ID of the person who placed the additional bet was clearly displayed on the screen. He used his real name and did not hide it at all.
Gerd Rudolf Manstein.
There was even a title behind it: Professor.
"The head of the Discipline Committee is also here to place a bet…Isn't he mainly caught cheating?”Fingal felt cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
At this moment, in Dorm 303 of District 1, Lu Mingfei was drawing key-like Korean characters on the photocopied copy that Fingel had left for him. Fingel said that he didn't want to disturb his hard work and left with a strange smile on his face. He was the only one left in the empty dormitory.
He didn't understand Korean at all, and he couldn't help but curse at the letters that looked like keychains. However, he did not have the time to curse. There were less than four hours until dawn. He had to memorize all eight questions in four hours. Fingel said that he should not expect to bring any notes into the examination hall. The examination hall was closely monitored like an intelligence station. It did not matter if Lu Mingfei did not understand Korean. As long as he could memorize the characters, just like how the ancients drew hieroglyphic characters, it would be fine.
However, his tiredness slowly rose like a rising tide. In Lu Mingfei's eyes, the Korean letters looked more and more similar, like twins.
He wondered why he didn't watch two episodes of his aunt's Korean drama in China. Alright, Korean dramas did not have Korean subtitles.
Maybe this 2500-dollar answer sheet was fake? Yes, why should he trust Fingel, who was sometimes as stupid as a philosopher and sometimes as cunning as a small businessman? From the beginning to the end, Fingel had been taking advantage of him.
So what if I pass tomorrow's exam? In a genius academy full of reptile bloodlines, could he crawl out alive?
So what if he crawled out? At this moment, it should be morning in the distant China. Was Chen Wenwen in a white dress holding hands with her new boyfriend on the way to a civilian university?
Damn it! Why did he kill the dragon? The dragon didn't offend you…
"Why didn't you use Chinese Pinyin?”Lu Mingfei finally couldn't take it anymore. He shouted at the open window," Is the dragon also from Han?”
His voice echoed in the empty campus. Lu Mingfei didn't know who he was shouting at. It was as if there was something in his heart that made him want to say something loudly.
He hugged his knees and sat on the bed. He whispered to himself what he wanted to say," Nuonuo, I really want to see you."”
It wasn't about beauty or feelings. It was just that when he felt that he had no way out, the door to the unknown opened in front of him. That girl who looked like a princess and a witch in a dress and high heels was beautiful and fierce. She walked in front of him and settled everything.
He wanted someone to help him, but no one answered when he shouted here.
3E Exam (Part 1)
With dark circles under his eyes, Lu Mingfei crashed into the classroom on the second floor of the library. The first thing he saw was a pair of long legs in jeans and a pair of Mary Jane shoes with 10-centimeter high heels that he had seen before.
"You're late." Nono, who was sitting at the lecture table, said expressionlessly.
Lu Mingfei scratched his head." Did I go the wrong way? I'm here to take the exam…"
"You're not in the wrong place. I'm the invigilator for this exam. The invigilator is Professor Manstein from the Discipline Committee.”Nono pointed below." Everyone is waiting for you.”
Professor Manstein, who was wearing a black suit, appeared behind the door. He glanced coldly at Lu Mingfei through his round glasses and said in a low voice," Don't be flawed. As an S-level Xueshen, you have the privilege of being seven minutes late, but if you are demoted in this exam, you will lose this privilege. I am warning you."”
He glanced at his watch." Everyone is here. I will now announce the rules of the examination!”
"Cheating is absolutely forbidden. Violators will be disqualified! As the head of the Discipline Committee, I can guarantee that the learning atmosphere in Kassel Academy is relaxed, but the discipline is the strictest. Don't try to peek at other people's papers. The cameras cover the entire classroom, and there are no blind spots! Don't try to bring any small electronic devices with you. Radio waves are also monitored in the classroom! I know that you are all geniuses, but I can tell you that people who are even more talented than you have also taken the exam in this classroom. For example, a voice from the United States had developed a special radio wave modification device. With this device, he disguised the communication waves as radio turbulence caused by sunspot eruptions, but he failed. Norma easily deciphered his signal. When we presented the evidence, he had nothing to say.。。”Professor Manstein glanced at the freshmen and spoke with confidence, like a general who had been through a lot of battles lecturing a group of new recruits.
Lu Mingfei seized the opportunity to slip into his seat. Everyone had a name tag in front of their seats, and his seat clearly read " Ricardo." M。Lu."
Lu Mingfei was stunned when he saw the name. He realized that the name was referring to him, but something was wrong. He looked up and scanned the entire classroom. He saw Nono hugging her arms and looking out the window. He suddenly understood.
The name tag was Nono's. She was the first person in the world to call him " Ricardo." This name, which reminded people of a famous mathematician, was casually given to him by Nono.
"Damn it!" He muttered in his heart, but he felt a little person dancing shyly in his heart.
He suddenly realized that today was a sunny day. The sunlight that was spread across the clouds shone down on Nono's expressionless face. The shadow of the window was cast on the walnut desk, and the entire classroom was a faint shade of red. He suddenly felt better, thinking that this was a good sign. Perhaps things weren't as bad as he thought last night. From the time he bought Nono that ice cream to his encounter with Fingal at subway, he had overcome all the troubles and was actually able to sit in this classroom with these guys who had dragon blood!
He wanted to clap his hands like a real gambler and say,"Lady Luck is on my side!”
He was always so heartless. Even when he was at his lowest, he would be happy because of something trivial. In the past, Chen Wen would often cross a few rows of desks and ask him who was responsible for cleaning the blackboard at night. He was the type of person who would shine with a little sunshine. Now, he felt that even if there was a dragon in front of him, he would grab a sniper rifle and take a look. He would not be discouraged. In this world, it seemed that one could not survive without being a hero.
"Hey! Brothers! Path? Was it you? They all say you're great! A black student in the front row carefully turned around and gave Lu Mingfei a thumbs up. He lowered his voice and smiled brightly, revealing his white teeth.
Lu Mingfei's heart was in high spirits.。。Although he didn't know why he was so high-spirited.。。Therefore, he gave her a thumbs up in response.
"Bradley." The black student introduced himself.
" Lu Mingfei." Lu Mingfei tried to walk past a desk to shake his hand.
The name was like a bomb dropped in the classroom. In an instant, everyone's gaze shifted from Professor Manstein's shiny forehead to Lu Mingfei's face. Dozens of freshmen gasped at the same time. After a " ha ", the entire classroom fell silent. Professor Manstein stopped lecturing and looked displeased.
A male student suddenly stood up and clapped. The applause was deafening. Lu Mingfei suspected that he had a pair of rubber palms that didn't hurt at all. It was followed by the black student, Bradley. The other freshmen were still exchanging glances with each other, but at this moment, they stood up excitedly and clapped hard as if they had been injected with stimulants. The applause was deafening.
Lu Mingfei was stunned. He became the center of attention once again, like a hot water kettle on the solar stove. He stood up in a flattered manner, but he also felt that it would be too arrogant if he accepted the applause calmly. Therefore, he also clapped and nodded at everyone, like a new beef noodle restaurant owner. He even gave Professor Manstein a brilliant look.
Manstein was so angry at this uncontrollable collective behavior that his nose almost crooked. Nono shrugged and continued to look out the window in boredom.
When Lu Mingfei nodded to the crowd, he noticed that there was still one person who hadn't clapped. It was a petite girl sitting in the corner with her back facing Lu Mingfei. She was wearing a white T-shirt, and her blonde hair was braided into a bun, revealing her slender neck. Her skin was so fair that it gave off a " cold " feeling. In such a noisy occasion, she looked more like an ice sculpture isolated from the world.
