Chapter 126 Chaos Begins
"What is the 3E exam about?"
Lu Mingfei was going to take the freshman exam tomorrow, so he asked Finkel casually.
"It's a bloodline test. You have S-grade bloodline..." Finkel closed his mouth before he could finish his words. As everyone knows, there are always exceptions to common sense. He was slapped in the face on this day last year. He lost $5000 and has only paid back a fraction of the interest.
"Does the higher the bloodline, the higher the score?"
After reading "Wuthering Heights", Lu Mingfei read a little bit of online literature, and it seemed that this was the case in the fairy tale and fantasy literature.
"In theory, that's right." Finkel nodded. "The full Chinese name is the Dragon Bloodline Rating Test. In the examination room, music will be played for you to listen to the dragon characters mixed in. In theory, the stronger the bloodline, the clearer you can hear it, because it is an instinct derived from the dragon blood gene. Just like some animals know how to drink milk when they are born."
"Why in theory?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously. He heard Finkel say two theories.
"Because nothing is absolute, your boss submitted several blank papers for his S-class bloodline."
"Can you pass the exam by handing in a blank paper? This exam is to determine your level of knowledge of dragon language?" Lu Mingfei became even more curious.
“No, no, no.” Finkel shook his head repeatedly: “Normally, if you hand in a blank paper, you will be brainwashed and expelled from school.”
"That boss..."
Zhang Baiqing has been in school for a year. Isn't he still doing well in school?
"Because there is something fishy about your boss's exam." Finkel gritted his teeth.
"He cheated?"
"Of course not. He didn't even write it. He was able to pass the exam purely because of the dark bureaucratic style within Kassel College. In your country, this is called cheating in the imperial examination, right?" Finkel said.
Lu Mingfei explained: "In Chinese, cheating and fraud are the same, both are to meet rigid standards through improper means."
"Hey, this is not important. What's important is that it's all capital's fault!" Finkel said with indignation.
"How much did you bet?"
Lu Mingfei looked at the forum and saw that they were discussing how much money Finkel would lend them as extra food.
"Just a little bit." Finkel pinched out a universe with his fingertips.
Lu Mingfei was amused and did not continue the discussion on this topic.
"Do you have the 3E exam questions? Let me see if I can answer them."
Although Lu Mingfei had obtained a powerful spiritual power from the little devil and his current student rating was S-level, the steadiness hidden in his heart still made him speak.
Finkel said: "I don't have the test questions, I only have the answers. There is also a universal method to identify bloodlines, which is to directly chant the Dragon King's Secret Ritual."
"Oh, eh? The answer?"
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.
"That's right." Finkel said with a smile, "Our Kassel College is a four-year system, and the 4E exam question bank consists of eight sets of exam papers that are used in rotation. Theoretically, this is enough to stagger the old and new students."
"Until I met you who had failed a grade for eight years..." Lu Mingfei blinked. The examination arrangement of Kassel Academy was reasonable in theory, but after decades of its establishment, a big bug finally appeared.
This BUG originated from the rule that Kassel College does not expel students easily, which resulted in Finkel repeating a grade for four consecutive years without being expelled.
"It's a pity that this bug is so useless." Finkel said regretfully: "It's hot and hard to get rid of."
“Indeed.” Lu Mingfei nodded. If Finkel wanted to sell the answers, he could only find students whose pedigree was not strong enough to pass the 3E exam consistently. However, it was difficult to find the customer base, and he did not dare to sell in large quantities.
"Come, I will recite the Dragon King's Secret Ceremony for you. Theoretically, if you don't go too far, you should be able to easily feel the call from the Ancient Dragon King." Finkel's face was serious, and he spoke in a strange and terrifying rolled tongue sound: "Praise the awakening of my king, destruction is rebirth!"
Lu Mingfei also had a serious expression on his face and listened attentively. After Finkel finished speaking, he was stunned.
Finkel thought that he was listening too attentively and was frightened by Nidhogg. It was not until a while later that he felt something was wrong and stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Lu Mingfei.
"What's wrong with you..." He was a little unsure about Lu Mingfei's condition.
Lu Mingfei came back to his senses and asked him, "What did you say just now? Are you sure it was a summons from the Dragon King?"
"What I'm saying is..." Finkel opened his mouth, then froze, "You didn't see anything just now? Didn't you feel the call of the Ancient Dragon King?"
Lu Mingfei nodded seriously, not seeming to be lying.
"Haha, are you kidding?" Finkel rubbed his temple, feeling that this was a good opportunity to turn things around. With one all-in bet, he could pay off all his debts immediately and maybe even make some money.
But there is a precedent for this!
He follows the same path as Zhang Baiqing, has S-class bloodline, does not respond to the call of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, and can still win the Free Day Championship by relying on his own strength.
Seeing his expression, Lu Mingfei asked in a low voice: "Is this a serious problem?"
"The Dragon King's Secret Ceremony is a universal identification method, what do you think? Anyone who is not a half-blood of the White King's lineage will feel the call of the Ancient Dragon King." Finkel said, "But there are exceptions. For example, Zhang Baiqing did not respond to the Dragon King's call, but he is still very powerful. Your power is not as mysterious as his, right?"
“Maybe?” Lu Mingfei felt a little guilty. He was able to win the Freedom Day Championship thanks to the little devil’s substitution. “Wait for me.”
He closed his eyes, his face was serious, and he muttered to himself.
Finkel had no idea what he was doing and looked at him as if he were a charlatan.
However, Lu Mingfei's mysterious ritual words did not cause any stir in the dormitory.
"I was cheated!" A thought flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind.
The little devil may have assigned him a word spirit, but his word spirit is locked! He can't use it now!
The little devil may be honest, but he found a loophole! Giving you the Word Spirit but not letting you use it is another matter!
He could already imagine the little devil appearing before him, asking him, "Deal, brother?"
"What are you mumbling about?" Finkel asked curiously.
“Nothing.” Lu Mingfei opened his eyes, feeling heavy-hearted. He felt that after tomorrow, the door of Kassel College would kick him out and then slam shut.
Even if he bought the answer from Fingel, he didn't have the Word Spirit! Kassel Academy was going to slay the dragon! What was he, an ordinary person, trying to get into this group of little dragons? To get the body shipped back home for free?
Although there are monsters here who are as lonely as him, he is not completely a monster now. At least he does not have the strength of these monsters!
Above the waters of the Three Gorges Dam, the black sky looked very gloomy, as if a heavy rain was about to come. The wind and waves became very strong, and the white boat began to sway in the wind and waves, like a lone boat, but it stood stubbornly in the wind and waves and was not blown down.
"Living creature?" Professor Mans' breathing on the boat immediately became heavy, but there was no time to think too much now. He immediately gave instructions: "Withdraw the Word Spirit immediately and don't disturb him! Come up quickly!"
Now in the giant metal city, it is very likely that its lord is sleeping - the King of Bronze and Fire!
"Got it!" Ye Sheng also decisively disbanded the Vacuum Snake. The metal city was forty meters deep in Ye Yan's underground, and they were now powerless to do anything about it.
The real business is to get on board quickly and then shake the people.
The rope was quickly retracted and the two men were dragged out of the water.
The crew immediately wrote a report on the dive and handed it to Mans for review. After confirming that it was correct, they immediately sent it to Kassel College in the United States.
"The Yangtze River Navigation Maritime Safety Administration has issued a warning that the wind will continue to increase in the second half of the night, accompanied by rare heavy rain and possible thunderstorms." The third mate on the ship reported to Mans.
"That's not a big problem." Mans shook his head. "Our ship is a warship, strong enough to withstand a force 12 gale."
"Professor Mans, it seems we have really found the King of Bronze and Fire." Ye Sheng came over to Professor Mans after taking a breath and said, "What should we do now?"
The metal city was right below them, and he didn't know whether his vacuum snake had disturbed the owner inside.
"Wait." Mans said, "The academy has a plan for this. The current situation depends on what the academy and China say. Our ship is not equipped with weapons or tools for digging rock formations." "Yeah." Ye Sheng nodded, trying to calm himself down and wait for the academy's instructions, but the thought of the underwater metal city and the living things inside made him feel uneasy.
Kassel Academy was very quiet late at night. Lu Mingfei fell into a deep sleep sadly. He slept soundly, but someone couldn't sleep.
"The water is 50 meters deep and the rock is 40 meters thick. We need to dig up the underwater rock layer. There are living things in the metal city..."
"If large equipment is used to dig it up, the vibrations might disturb it."
"Can we just use a ground-penetrating missile to bomb it?"
"A 40-meter-thick rock layer. This isn't sand! Difficult! Very difficult!"
"Then we can only dig a small tunnel slowly?"
"..."
The Equipment Department was bustling with activity, as experts from the department were discussing solutions enthusiastically.
Angers took off his glasses and wiped them, then reported that he had read it, but he was not in a hurry to give instructions because the Chinese side had not yet responded.
The King of Bronze and Fire is right under their feet, and perhaps they are even more anxious than Angers.
Kassel Academy has developed to the point where it no longer has only mixed-race students from secret party families. These students come from all over the world, including mixed-race families in China, so they are deeply intertwined with the mixed-race families in China.
"Allow Kassel Academy to slay the dragon."
The Chinese side responded that they had no intention of getting involved in this dragon-slaying operation.
There were records of the Dragon King’s revival in their family history, but each time the Dragon King resurrected it was never a good thing for them.
It should be said that the Dragon King's revival is not a good thing either at home or abroad.
Japan's Tokyo Bay metropolitan area is still in the process of post-disaster reconstruction.
The German Kassel family and the core of the secret party were completely wiped out.
The apocalypse explosion directly blew up the Chinese mixed-blood race...
Slaying a dragon is not an easy task, and being a dragon slaying hero is not that easy.
The students slept peacefully, and the professors and experts gathered together, leaving the "ice cellar" unattended.
There are three entrances to the ice cellar: Valhalla, the church, and the library.
The entrance to the library is also the Norma main computer room, which has always been the top priority, whether it is the library above or the main computer room and ice cellar entrance below.
It's just that tonight is special, so there's no one guarding it.
"Open sesame!"
A sloppy voice sounded in front of the entrance to the library's ice cellar, but the door responded to his words and opened obediently.
Finkel walked in arrogantly, all the way to Norma's main computer room.
"Activate EVA mode."
After he said this, a holographic girl appeared in front of him.
"You came."
"Yes, I'm here."
"You shouldn't have come."
The girl sighed, she was just a projection of artificial intelligence, and if necessary, she could change into any shape, but she chose the image of this girl.
"Why?" Finkel was stunned.
"Aren't you here because of the matter of the Bronze and Fire King?" The girl's eyes were expressive and focused, very human.
"The King of Bronze and Fire?" Finkel spread his hands. He had no idea about this matter.
"What happened?" But his expression quickly became serious.
The girl mentioned the King of Bronze and Fire. Although the academy has been looking for the whereabouts of the eight dragon kings, it is obvious that something happened this time that made the girl like this.
For example, the King of Bronze and Fire has been found.
The fact was indeed as he expected. The girl said: "In the plan to find the Dragon Tomb, Professor Mance discovered a metal city at the Three Gorges Dam in China. It is suspected to be the city built by the Bronze and Fire King. There are also living creatures in it, suspected to be the Bronze and Fire King. Now they are discussing how to kill it."
"It is indeed a big deal." Finkel nodded, "But I am not here for this."
"Why is that?" the girl asked him.
"I missed you." Finkel looked at the girl affectionately and stretched out his hand, but he touched the air and his hand went straight through the girl.
"Oh." The girl sighed, and lovingly stroked Finkel's hair with her hand made of light and shadow, but she still couldn't touch anything.
The two untouchable people embraced each other, just like the tragic characters in the story of a ghost.
Ten years ago, there was no rule in the Kassel Academy group that male and female partners could not develop romantic relationships, until a person with the ID "Prince" posted a message on the bounty hunter website that a dragon king had resurrected in the Greenland Sea.
Kassel College discovered a hatching embryo on the seabed. Fearing that something might happen if they were too late, they hastily made a plan and sent a specialist into the water.
Later, the plan failed, the operation files were sealed, and a rule was introduced that no romantic relationship could develop between the male and female partners.
"Ugh."
Finkel sighed, released his hands that could no longer feel the warmth of the other person, and said, "Do me a favor."
"Yeah." The girl agreed readily and said playfully, "I knew you came here for something else."
"You still know me so well." Finkel smiled, "Help me get a new student to pass the 3E exam tomorrow."
"Well." The girl said to him, "Let the past be the past. Now is the most important thing. You should live happily."
"How can a simple sentence reveal the pain caused by a wound? If the past could be healed so easily, Principal Ange should be on vacation at the beach and basking in the sun." Finkel sneered: "Has the prince been found?"
He wanted to know who was sending them to their deaths.
The girl shook her head and said, "No, the other party hid it very secretly."
It can be said that the Internet was just emerging at that time, and there were not as many technical means and requirements as there are today.
Finkel was not disappointed. After ten years, no clues had been found. In public security cases in various countries, the investigation could basically be abandoned.
Now they can only keep an eye on each other's accounts and pay close attention to whether this ID will post information again.
When he was about to say something, the girl was suddenly stunned, "Wait, he just posted a message."
On the Hunter website, an ID named Prince came back to life after a decade of silence and posted a message: "There is a King of the Earth and Mountains in the capital of China!"
