Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 37

Xia Mi nodded, and only then did she pull herself away from the screen, separating the two who were pressed so close together.

She stood up, opened her arms, and stretched her body.

The two of them stayed together motionless for almost an hour, which did cause some soreness in their bodies.

Chu Zihang then came down the stairs, looked at Lu Mingfei sitting in front of the computer at the front desk, and said, "I'm going back."

"Why did you get home so quickly today?"

The system remembered the time Chu Zihang spent in the library. He usually arrived at 7:30 pm after school at 6 pm, stayed for two hours, and didn't leave until 9:30 pm.

It's only 8:30 today, but considering he just got the knife today, it's understandable.

"I have something to do tonight," Chu Zihang said sparingly.

"Well, take whichever book you like and read it yourself, just don't let ordinary people see it."

Books about dragons, especially those based on actual records, are theoretically not allowed to be taken out of the house, as it would cause some trouble if ordinary people saw them.

However, when it comes to rules, being lenient at the right time to make things convenient for others is a good way to win people's hearts.

"Okay, thank you, boss." Chu Zihang went back upstairs, and finally left with a book and the knife he had just received.

"Strange……"

Although he was using the system account, Lu Mingfei felt something was off when he saw Xia Mi making tea over there.

Xia Mi's sudden movement as she stood up made him suspect that it was to avoid Chu Zihang seeing her coming downstairs...

The system immediately performed an analysis.

[...The host's possessiveness is not without reason...]

Actually, the system didn't realize this. The two of them had been chatting for a while, and they had been sitting together for so long that it was perfectly normal and reasonable for Xia Mi to want to get up and move around because her body was sore. There was absolutely nothing wrong with her.

The possessiveness and petty suspicion that Lu Mingfei displayed were things the system couldn't proactively consider.

It only analyzes illogical and strange things, such as Xia Mi's previous initiative to approach the ordinary Lu Mingfei... It won't waste computing power to calculate things like the other party only taking one extra breath today.

The system immediately reported the details of what had happened with Xia Mi before.

As for Xia Mi's ability to predict Chu Zihang's silent descent downstairs, that's not important.

As a potential super hybrid, Xia Mi's physical attributes are definitely on the high level, and it's normal that her senses are far more acute than ordinary people, even bordering on absurd.

Not to mention her potential super hybrid, Chu Zihang's ability to crush pebbles with his bare hands is something that normal people can only look up to and never reach.

Perhaps Xia Mi didn't want to appear too close to her host in front of Chu Zihang, hence the change...

Or perhaps Xia Mi didn't want to be too close to her host in front of outsiders...

Two seemingly similar analyses actually represent completely different meanings.

First, Xia Mi wanted to have her cake and eat it too, which is a serious matter.

Secondly, Xia Mi is just a bit shy in front of outsiders, which is fine.

However, there weren't many scenes in daily life where the system encountered Chu Zihang. Previously, the system didn't dare to be too presumptuous and hadn't shown much closeness to Xia Mi in front of outsiders. At least, there were almost no scenes like the one just now where they were so close together... and normal distances are not a reliable reference.

The system can only keep a record of this matter and will pay attention to it and analyze it further.

……

Panpan studied hard at home.

Since returning, she has had to undergo blood tests, but two consecutive days of stable bloodline values ​​have allowed the official organization to reluctantly lift their guard against her.

At least it doesn't look like a temporary stabilization of the bloodline through blood washing.

Blood washing, a short-term method of suppression, has a very serious flaw: the bloodline ratio cannot withstand long-term testing. The human body's recovery speed varies, so each test after blood washing may detect fluctuations in the body's bloodline ratio.

Panpan's bloodline has been tested twice in the past two days, and the bloodline ratio is very stable, which does not seem to be the result of blood washing.

So Panpan can be arranged to go to school. She can skip the first and second grades and go directly into the third grade of her age group next semester.

This meant she had to work hard to learn the knowledge she missed because she hadn't attended school before...

On the afternoon of the third day, after the official team finished testing Panpan's bloodline, they quietly packed up their tools and left.

Panpan's bloodline is clearly very stable. After two more days of testing, they won't need to come back.

However, as they left the Liguang New Residence community, one of the people from the official organization turned back and glanced in the direction of Lu Mingfei's house.

In the past two days, he obtained detailed information about Panpan's situation, confirming that Lu Mingfei rescued the little girl Panpan as a stranger...

Was it a sudden outburst of kindness?

He suddenly thought of a concept: the rescuer, or the rescuer again.

This describes a possibility: a person who has done good deeds is more likely to do good deeds again than someone who has never done so.

He silently lit a cigarette.

They didn't immediately kill all the dangerous hybrids they discovered. As long as they hadn't committed any evil deeds and had a clean background (aside from the potential threat of dangerous hybrids), they could generally continue to live until their bloodline fully manifested and there was no cure...

Chapter 69 Alchemy Matrix! (Please continue reading!)

It's that time of year again when students get to enjoy the weekend.

Su Enxi was also very helpful that day, successfully delivering a book on advanced alchemy techniques to him in the morning, and it was the alchemy matrix that the system valued most!

After urging Panpan to go back to her room to catch up on her elementary school lessons, the system went to the study to start thinking about the book "Alchemy Matrix".

This book came at just the right time. Having just figured out the previous "Advanced Guide to Alchemy Summary," it can immediately connect with this advanced alchemy book about alchemical matrices.

In the morning, I first flipped through the book, and then the system began silently calculating the technology of the alchemy matrix.

At noon, Xia Mi came and knocked on the door.

"Hey! Mr. Lu, open the door!"

Lu Mingfei got into his room and walked out of the study, only to find that Panpan had already come out of her room and opened the door for Xia Mi.

"Sister Xia!" Panpan gave a cute smile, then looked at the two big red bags in her hands and wanted to help her carry them.

Although she had awakened her bloodline and possessed great physical strength, Xia Mi still didn't let go of the bag and hand it to the little kid who was over a meter tall; that would be too incongruous.

"What is this?" Lu Mingfei also looked at the large bag in Xia Mi's hand.

"I bought the groceries!" Xia Mi said happily, "I just came back from the market, they're all very fresh. How about we have a nice meal this weekend?"

Lu Mingfei asked, "Is this the meal you lost the bet on last night?"

Xia Mi was immediately displeased and glared at Lu Mingfei: "I didn't lose the bet last night. Besides, when you succeeded in writing your book, you said you'd take me to a Michelin-starred restaurant in Shanghai! Does that meal still count?"

"That meal definitely counts." Lu Mingfei stepped forward to take a bag from her, opened it, and looked inside. "What did you buy?"

"The sea bass is steamed, and the old hen is used to make soup..."

Nine dishes—Xia Mi's mouth was practically watering as she talked about them.

Lu Mingfei nodded slightly: "There are only three of us, you bought a bit too much."

"If we can't finish it, we don't have to throw it away. We can reheat it and eat it again tonight."

As Xia Mi spoke, she reached out and rubbed Panpan's head again, then looked down at her and said, "Today, let's get rid of the bad habit of eating staple foods. We can eat meat and still feel full!"

Panpan opened her eyes wide and Mengmeng nodded.

Lu Mingfei walked into the kitchen carrying a bag. "Come and help me pick the vegetables, otherwise I won't be able to manage."

He has now discovered that the most troublesome part of cooking is not stir-frying, which is the most essential part, but rather the preparation of ingredients. The preliminary steps, such as washing and chopping, take up a lot of time.

"okay!"

Xia Mi followed them into the kitchen, carrying the bag.

Panpan followed behind, wanting to help, but Xia Mi flicked her forehead, saying, "Go study, just wait for dinner."

Overwhelmed by the pressure of studying, Panpan could only return to her room and study quietly.

After taking the ingredients out of the bag, the kitchen quickly became busy. Xia Mi washed the vegetables, and Lu Mingfei chopped them.

Then Lu Mingfei noticed that Xia Mi kept looking up at the cutting board in his direction.

"What are you looking at?"

“I learned it from others,” Xia Mi said matter-of-factly.

"Why would you need to steal this?" Lu Mingfei was a little puzzled. It's just chopping vegetables, not cooking. What's there to steal?

But Xia Mizhen raised a question: "Boss, you chop vegetables very fast. Aren't you worried about cutting your hand?"

"Oh, this."

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized and waved to her, "Come here. When you're chopping vegetables, pull the first two joints of your fingers back to hold the ingredients down, and cut with the blade against the joints."

As long as your fingers don't stick forward and the blade isn't raised too high, even if you cut very quickly, you won't cut your fingers..."

These details don't seem to be covered in any instructional videos; the system figured them out itself by watching the vegetable-cutting process in the instructional videos.

"Boss, you're amazing!" Xia Mi exclaimed, her eyes wide.

[...We can let her try it herself, and teach her step by step...]

Upon seeing the system's analysis, Lu Mingfei immediately understood the system's intentions.

Does "hands-on teaching" mean that Xia Mi stands in front while you stand behind her, holding her hand that's holding the knife as you teach her?

Just like the scenes in those TV dramas?

That makes sense.

Lu Mingfei immediately said, "Xia Mi, you give it a try."

He felt his emotions fluctuating; yesterday he was a little hesitant about even the most intimate physical contact, but today he felt no qualms about the more hands-on instruction...

"Okay."

Xia Mi stepped forward, took the knife, and started cutting as if she were doing it herself, without giving Lu Mingfei a chance to teach her step by step.

"..."

Even with Xia Mi's help, which saved a lot of steps, it still took more than an hour to finish the meal.

He usually cooks three or four dishes, which takes him just as much time.
