Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 2

Lu Mingfei, who was being managed by the system, said expressionlessly, "Morning exercise!"

"Morning exercise?" The aunt looked at Lu Mingfei's sweat with some surprise; he did indeed look like he had been exercising.

But when did Lu Mingfei start his morning exercise? And his somewhat dismissive gaze and expression made her very unhappy.

She suddenly raised her voice, as if accusing someone, and said, "You didn't sneak off to an internet cafe to stay up all night, did you?"

It's as if I'll find something wrong with you and send you to the deepest hell.

Many people fear their parents and elders more than death when they are young. The Lu Mingfei of the past might be afraid of the minions now, but the system will not.

The system said expressionlessly, "There are surveillance cameras at the entrance of the community. You can check for yourself when I left."

This plot... Lu Mingfei felt like he was seeing something from a dream.

Because his aunt disliked him and suppressed him both openly and secretly, the system later determined that this woman was highly likely to be unhappy with his success and might sabotage his plans by secretly causing trouble for him.

The system probably labeled the aunt as someone who must not be allowed to live.

Of course, he didn't need to kill her. Dealing with a woman like his aunt didn't require a fatal blow. The system's calculations showed that keeping her from causing him trouble was much simpler than resorting to violence.

Killing someone is easy, but the aftermath is troublesome and too unpredictable. In today's "civilized" society, taking a life is definitely the worst thing you can do.

It would be much easier to find this woman's weakness.

But not now. Right now, his wings aren't strong enough. Right now, he really needs a place to rest.

The foster care fees given by my parents were deposited into a Citibank regular deposit account, and the money was only designated to be received by my uncle Lu Gucheng's bank card.

It seems that because he didn't specifically request the money back, the system wasn't in a position to insist on getting it back. After some deliberation, the system decided not to take it. In the end, Uncle Lu Gucheng canceled the bank card, Aunt shut up, and the system left gracefully, breaking free from its cage. Of course, that was in the dream without any interference from the system.

But Lu Mingfei had forgotten how the system worked.

After showering, changing clothes, and brushing my teeth, I ate breakfast under my aunt's disapproving gaze, then dressed neatly and headed to school.

Once at school, no one paid any attention to Lu Mingfei's expressionless demeanor under the system's control, as everyone was busy with their own affairs.

[We will begin learning with the first-year high school Chinese language textbook...]

The system takes a book out of the drawer and begins to absorb the knowledge within it.

The system flips through the pages quite quickly, as if it were reading a novel rather than a textbook.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei was a nobody, so no one cared about him.

When class time arrived, the system focused intently on the teacher's lecture.

Since the teacher had just finished speaking, Lu Mingfei hadn't forgotten what he was saying, and he wasn't sure if he had really absorbed the knowledge. So he couldn't help but ask the system, "System, are you really listening to the lecture, or are you just trying to create the image of a good student?"

The system is a very pragmatic system; everything it does is for the needs of the task, and it has no human emotions or desires.

If tasks can be completed without a moral bottom line, then the system will not take any action to uphold moral principles; instead, it will recklessly trample on moral principles in order to complete the tasks.

Just like its judgment on its aunt, the reason it didn't kill her was because killing someone in modern society would have hidden dangers and might affect subsequent mission behavior, not because it was a good system that abides by the law.

The system explained to him: "Both are necessary. You can't do well on the Chinese exam just by memorizing the text. You need to understand the meaning of the text. So I need to listen carefully in class."

At the same time, it can also establish a good student image in other people's minds, which is helpful in winning over pretty girls...

Chapter 3 Forbearance

During the morning class, some students finally noticed the changes in the boy.

He used to be silly and goofy, but now he always has a cold face.

Lu Mingfei didn't pay much attention to the outside world. After handing his body over to the system, he pondered how to properly use this cheat.

During the break, Su Xiaoqiang passed by Lu Mingfei's luxurious single desk in the back row and noticed his expression. She couldn't help but ask, "Lu Mingfei, are you trying to cosplay Chu Zihang?"

Chu Zihang, the senior who is admired by girls and envied by boys, has the aloof and cold demeanor of a god. It's not that no naive boy hasn't thought of following in Chu Zihang's footsteps, but without exception, they all failed. They bought clothes from the Republican era warlords, but ended up looking like puppet soldiers—trying to draw a tiger but ending up with a dog.

Su Xiaoqiang, one of the three beauties in the class, has a natural, unadorned appearance that would score 8.5 out of 10. However, due to differing personal preferences, she might be considered less or more beautiful by different people, fluctuating between 8 and 10. Even those who don't like her type wouldn't find her unattractive; her basic attractiveness is extremely high…

After analyzing the data and scoring Su Xiaoqiang, the system determined that she met the criteria for Lu Mingfei's first assigned task: 1. (To win over the most beautiful girl and make her his girlfriend).

[Analysis in progress... Su Xiaoqiang once said she liked Chu Zihang. Chu Zihang is handsome, academically gifted, athletically strong, and possesses sufficient personal ability, family background, and leadership charisma, making him a powerful individual. This aligns with the saying "Young men admire love, young women admire strength." The main task 1. () overlaps with the secondary task 2. ()... At this moment, the host is not strong enough to forcefully pursue her, but she shouldn't be made to dislike him either. She can try chatting with him to further close the distance...]

Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the system's extremely rational analysis report.

These were things he understood and knew. The system had taken over his body, but it also seemed to have taken over his memories at the same time.

The system shifted from its expressionless indifference to Lu Mingfei's usual demeanor, scratched its head, and said to Su Xiaoqiang, "Do you think it's possible that I'm cosplaying the T-800 from 'Terminator'? You know, the mechanical assassin played by Schwarzenegger. Actually, I think that's even cooler."

“T-800, huh?” Su Xiaoqiang looked Lu Mingfei up and down, his thin frame looking like a man. “Looks like you don’t have the talent for cosplay. You don’t look like him at all. T-800 is a tough, muscular man. You’ll have to build up your physique first.”

Su Xiaoqiang's speaking style tends to be...

The system conducted another thorough analysis, but perhaps due to Lu Mingfei's lack of knowledge, the system's analysis was not entirely clear.

This made Lu Mingfei feel embarrassed. He, as the host, was not doing a good job, but instead dragged the system down with him.

After chatting with Lu Mingfei for a few minutes, Su Xiaoqiang went off to chat with other students.

As soon as she left, the boy's sullen expression gradually disappeared, and Lu Mingfei's face began to go blank again.

"System, why do you always have such a cold face?" Lu Mingfei asked.

[There's no point in laughing right now...] The system's utilitarian nature was on full display at this moment. It felt it was a waste to even glance at something that was meaningless.

The system felt like cold metal, making Lu Mingfei feel a chill run down his spine.

During the break, the system did not chat with other students, but continued to concentrate on studying.

The term "ruthless learning machine" has transformed from an adjective to a literal description at this moment.

After school at noon, the system went back to its uncle's house for lunch. At the table, it still had a cold face, which made Lu Gucheng look at his nephew with some confusion.

The moment Auntie saw Lu Mingfei's face, her good mood from winning money at mahjong that morning vanished completely. "Lu Mingfei, the clothes in the washing machine are all washed. Take them to hang up to dry later!"

"Understood." The system didn't intend to argue with his aunt, but his indifferent attitude made her feel annoyed again.

Lu Mingfei was looking at the system's analysis log: [Aunt's expression was highly targeted, suggesting she might hinder things... Currently, "patience" is needed; now is not the time.]

The system's plan has already been drawn up. Overthrowing his aunt's tyranny will take two months. It will take two months because his aunt will still be useful to him during these two months.

The system, which exhausts all means and makes the most of everything, taught Lu Mingfei a vivid lesson: achieving dreams does not rely on fanatical fantasies, but on humble, pragmatic, low-key, and patient behavior.

Lu Mingfei felt that things couldn't continue like this. The hosting system was useful and could accurately achieve the goal, but it didn't align with his inner thoughts.

Life is not just about fame and fortune.

If the meaning of a person's life is to be happy, then the system's happiness is to complete the tasks entrusted to it by Lu Mingfei, but those tasks are not Lu Mingfei's entire happiness.

After hanging up the clothes, the system turned on the computer and began writing technical documents about the game.

StarCraft is a game with a very high barrier to entry. With such a high barrier to entry, the game's audience will be much smaller, and you won't make much money by teaching technical skills. In fact, this doesn't quite align with the system's idea.

However, Lu Mingfei didn't have any other knowledge, which meant the system couldn't earn money beyond what Lu Mingfei knew.

The system actually wanted to learn programming to write cheats to sell, but the domestic authorities had already taken action against game cheats and made them legal, so the system had to abandon this option and switch to game tutorial guides as a replacement.

Once it was confirmed that this was the fastest and most legitimate way to make money, the system launched the project without hesitation.

The StarCraft project involves posting free guides for beginners and game tips on the forum, with advanced tutorials also available for free.

However, expert tutorials are not free; you have to pay to buy the tutorial "Top Ladder Players Teach You to Re-understand This Game..."

The system had no idea how much it could earn; it just acted immediately after seeing an opportunity to make money, since even if it didn't make any money, it would only lose some time spent typing documents.

According to a systematic and rational analysis, money is not everything, but you can't do without it.

When pursuing a girl, she may not necessarily love money, but to win her heart, you might have to spend a lot of money...

The three tasks 1. (), 2. (), and 3. () overlapped to varying degrees and were not progressing in a single line. The system was in high spirits, and its two fingers danced on the keyboard.

The system's exceptional execution capabilities left Lu Mingfei feeling inferior. Although the system had many flaws, it completely outperformed him when it came to getting things done. Once a decision was made, it would immediately begin execution.

After finishing typing the first volume of documents, the system took a nap, and when the time came, it got up cleanly and neatly, put on its shoes and went to school without any fuss.

If it were Lu Mingfei, unless he was going to be late, he would at least roll around in bed a couple more times and stay in bed a little longer.

Chapter 4 Xia Mi

Upon arriving at school, the system began its systematic learning process, and Lu Mingfei devoted himself wholeheartedly to his studies.

However, when school ended in the afternoon, the system logs suddenly started retrieving information and reviewing my learning efficiency: [Learning progress analysis in progress... Learning rate only 80-85%, learning methods have potential for optimization...]

A pretty girl jogged past, and the system's auto-aim seemed to be on, its eyes automatically locking onto her as it moved.

Because she was really beautiful! Just a fleeting glimpse of her profile out of the corner of his eye was enough for the system to know, a mission had been launched!

【Xia Mi…】The system immediately began extracting Lu Mingfei’s memory data and confirmed the identity of this beautiful girl.

The other person is currently a junior at Shilan Middle School, a first-year high school student. She transferred to Shilan Middle School from Beijing in the second year of junior high school, but she became famous throughout Shilan Middle School only a few days after the start of the school year.

It wasn't that she did anything earth-shattering; it was simply because of the other person's stunning good looks.

The school has over a thousand students in both junior and senior high school sections, including many beautiful girls and female teachers. The three beauties in Lu Mingfei's class are quite remarkable: "Little Fairy" Su Xiaoqiang, "Piano Girl" Liu Miaomiao, and "Artistic Youth" Chen Wenwen, each with their own nicknames and renowned throughout the school.

But in fact, none of the three beauties became famous purely because of their looks; besides their faces, they also have charisma.

According to the system's scoring criteria, Chen Wenwen's basic appearance only deserves an 8 out of 10, 0.5 points lower than Su Xiaoqiang. However, she possesses a strong literary and artistic temperament, which, in the eyes of those who like this type, such as Lu Mingfei, would earn her a 10 out of 10.

Xia Mi is different; she is unreasonably beautiful, her beauty is flawless.

[Without makeup, her natural beauty deserves a 9.5 out of 10...]

Xia Mi's flawless appearance earned her an incredible 9.5 points in basic beauty score from the system, which skipped the analysis of personal preferences and directly judged her as "the most beautiful girl".

Lu Mingfei doubted that, under the objective evaluation of the system, no girl could get a perfect score of 10.

As the system paused its journey home from school, it immediately went back to gather information about this female student.

Xia Mi came up from the junior high school, and Lu Mingfei should still have her report card from junior high. He remembers that she had very good grades.

Xia Mi: First in the city's high school entrance exam!

Lu Mingfei was also a little confused when he saw this congratulatory person.

Is this junior high school girl really that good? She got first place in the city's high school entrance exam? What was my score back then? Anyway, I got in by just barely meeting the minimum admission score for Shilan Middle School, and I paid the highest tuition fee, but thankfully I didn't have to pay any extra sponsorship fees.

It's not that we can't afford the sponsorship fee, but if we spend that money, less money will go into my uncle's pocket. Given my aunt's sharp and mean nature, it's still uncertain whether Lu Mingfei will be able to come to Shilan Middle School.

The system continued its rapid-fire analysis: "[A top student, rumored to be talkative, outgoing, and the captain of the school cheerleading team...]"
