Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 12 Mathematics LV1, Entry: [Super-Speed ​​Calculation]!
Lu Mingfei had a dream.

He dreamt that the schedule was fake, and that he could rest peacefully.

[Warning: It's time to wake up. Please do so immediately.]

"It's fake, it's fake..."

[Warning, electric shock countdown...]

Lu Mingfei instinctively opened his eyes wide and jumped out of the warm bed like a slice of bread freshly toasted in a toaster.

A sudden chill enveloped him, and Lu Mingfei, still somewhat dazed, shivered. Just as he was about to instinctively crawl back, a line of characters refreshed before his eyes—

[Warning, it's time for your [dressing and washing up] plan...]

Lu Mingfei sighed, fully regaining his senses, and picked up his clothes to put them on.

2009年1月12日，凌晨6:00。

The second day began.

……

After a quick dressing and washing up, Lu Mingfei started running towards Shilan Middle School when the warning sounded.

He wasn't wearing the long trench coat suit that Uncle Chen had put on him yesterday.

Although the clothes look good, wearing them would be torture for someone who needs to run three kilometers in the morning. Between image and comfort, Lu Mingfei would naturally choose the latter!
Moreover, every guy has one or two sets of clothes in his closet that he never wears for years, only taking them out to wear on certain important occasions.

Before this, Lu Mingfei didn't have clothes like this; he thought the previous set was quite nice.

Learning from yesterday's lesson, Lu Mingfei made a point of bringing a change of clothes today—he couldn't keep relying on Senior Brother Chu for things, and then expect to take what he had for himself? That wouldn't be appropriate.

Moreover, Lu Mingfei still didn't know the real reason why Senior Brother Chu was so kind to him, so he was still a little suspicious.

As he ran, Lu Mingfei pondered.

The schedule is still based on Lu Mingfei's physical condition and real-time status, but as his proficiency increases, Lu Mingfei's understanding of running is also improving.

Without ever consulting any relevant materials, Lu Mingfei mastered everything from nasal inhalation to oral exhalation, the 3:2 ratio of urine to water, running posture, stride length, etc.—all without any formal instruction!
This made his running much easier, and he even had the energy to think about other things.

"I don't know what's going on... I don't feel pain all over my body like Uncle Chen told me yesterday?"

Lu Mingfei felt his body was much lighter and more comfortable than yesterday, and for a moment he was a little confused.

According to Uncle Chen, a full three hours of high-intensity strength training, especially for someone who doesn't exercise much, definitely falls into the category of strenuous exercise.

It's already quite strange that Lu Mingfei didn't suffer from rhabdomyolysis and be immediately hospitalized.

Even without rhabdomyolysis, the sheer amount of exercise that leads to severe lactic acid buildup, resulting in muscle soreness and swelling throughout the body, is absolutely unavoidable.

Judging from Uncle Chen's words, it would be quite an achievement for Lu Mingfei to even be able to get out of bed today!

But Lu Mingfei can now not only get out of bed, but also go for a morning run as if nothing happened.

"Could it be because of... the [Stamina Recovery] attribute I gained after reaching [Fitness] LV1?"

Lu Mingfei rummaged through the limited biological knowledge in his mind.

"The source of human physical strength and power is the muscles throughout the body, so does physical recovery mean strengthening and repairing my muscle cells?"

No wonder I'm not experiencing any pain or itching now. A whole night of recovery has cleared up any lactic acid buildup!

[Through your diligent morning runs, your running skills have improved, gaining 4 proficiency points.]

【go through……】

The cold wind blows in, but it is no longer as sharp as it used to be, and the three-kilometer distance no longer feels like an insurmountable barrier!
Progress, growth, and strength!

In the past seventeen years, Lu Mingfei had never experienced such a feeling so personally and clearly.

Although the process was quite agonizing... it was also somewhat exhilarating!
The sound of footsteps echoed repeatedly, and life, which had been stagnant and even seemed to be slowly declining, finally stopped going against the tide, broke free from the control of the invisible hand around it, and began to gradually climb upwards!
……

When Lu Mingfei arrived at the entrance of Shilan Middle School, the sky was still pitch black.

His breath formed clouds that spread across the frosty glass of the security booth.

With a series of knocks on the window, it was quickly pulled open. Old Zhang, the security guard from yesterday, looked at Lu Mingfei in surprise. "It's you again? I wanted to ask you yesterday, what are you doing at school so early?"

"Um... if it's not studying, then it's work?"

Lu Mingfei stood with his hands on his hips, trying to steady his rapid breathing, and even had the energy to spout nonsense.

"Hey, he's quite the talker." Old Zhang muttered to himself, opened the school gate, and let Lu Mingfei in.

However, when Lu Mingfei walked into the school gate and headed straight for his classroom...

Old Zhang pulled out a pure black Nokia N96 from his pocket, awkwardly pushed it up, aimed it at Lu Mingfei's back, and after confirming that the flash was off, pressed the shutter button repeatedly.

He looked around nervously, and after confirming that no one was around, he closed the glass window of the security booth and sent a multimedia message to the person whose contact was labeled "Boss," along with the photos he had just seen and Lu Mingfei's exact words.

The Nokia N96, a high-end phone from 2009, is now selling for over 4,000 yuan on the grey market and over 5,000 yuan on the official market. It's clearly not something that Old Zhang, a security guard, should be willing to spend money on.

And that was indeed the case; the N96 had only been in Lao Zhang's hands for a short time, to be precise, less than a few hours.

Old Zhang didn't know who the person was. The person was very cautious, his whole body was shrouded in a black robe, and his voice was obviously altered by a voice changer, making it impossible to tell if he was male or female, and his height was neither high nor low.

All he knew was that the man was called "Boss," and that he had thrown a wad of non-consecutive hundred-yuan bills at the beginning, as well as the N96 in his hand that looked brand new.

The "boss" said he was doing me a small favor, and in return, he was paying this much for the phone, which was also his.

Even without the N96 mask, this is still three or four months' salary for Lao Zhang!

Old Zhang isn't a person with strong professional ethics. He used to do some petty theft. After getting out, he used connections and got some fake certificates to get a job as a security guard here, just going through the motions.

What's more, such a huge sum of money has been invested?
Old Zhang immediately slammed his fist on the table and said, "Boss, with this money, things are easy. What do you want me to do? Murder and arson aren't enough, but scratching a car and smashing a window is no problem!"

The "boss" chuckled and said, "There's no need to be so extreme. Do you remember that kid who came to the school early yesterday morning?"
Once he arrives at the school and goes inside, take a few photos and casually chat with him, asking why he came so early.

When Lao Zhang heard this, he was a little suspicious. Could there really be such a good thing as a free lunch these days?
He was somewhat clever; otherwise, he would have continued petty theft instead of seeking an opportunity to come ashore and become a security guard here. He figured that what he was doing couldn't possibly be a plan to kidnap someone, could it? That little bit of money wouldn't be enough for him to take the risk.

Then the "boss" said, "Oh, that's my young master. I don't know why he suddenly started working so hard. He even came to school early in the morning. I want to find out the reason but I don't want the young master to find out, so I can only ask Old Zhang to do this."

Old Zhang thought to himself, "You're kidding me! Anyone can see that kid's just an ordinary person, not a 'young master'! He did come to school early in the morning, though..."

However, he thought about it again and realized that this was not bad. Anyway, with this excuse, he could have something to say if anything happened. Isn't there a saying in law that "ignorance is no excuse"?
Besides, it's just a photo; how much information can it provide?

……

"There's a lot of information here..."

A girl was curled up on a large sofa. She wore black-rimmed glasses and her long chestnut-colored hair was tied up haphazardly. After glancing at the MMS message she received on her phone, she muttered something and tossed it aside.

This was an extremely luxurious office, but at this moment she had made it so messy that it resembled a female college student's dormitory. Various ordinary and unusual electronic devices were piled up haphazardly to one side, while the main attraction was a mountain of potato chips.

The price of any electronic device could easily buy this mountain of potato chips, more than double, but for this casually dressed girl, these potato chips seemed to be incredibly important. She tore open a bag of chips, randomly grabbed a chip, and popped it into her mouth. With a "crunch," she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes gleamed with a golden light like an incandescent bulb!
But the light quickly dissipated, and the girl's breathing became a little rapid, as if the previous actions had been quite physically demanding.

She lazily rolled over, picked up another phone, and without even looking at it, simply opened the contact list by pressing the buttons, searched, and dialed.

The call was quickly answered, and a lazy yet undeniably bright voice came through, roughly the standard "mature woman voice" in the Japanese anime and manga industry. She could probably earn a very good price if she became a voice actress.

But once you see this woman's figure and appearance, you'll know that it would be a waste of her talent to even become a star, let alone a voice actress.

She possessed a near-perfect appearance and a figure so good that it probably couldn't be hidden even under an Arab robe, and her legs, half-hidden beneath the water's surface, were breathtakingly long.

"Do you know what time it is, Chip Girl? I'm enjoying my spa vacation, so unless it's something really urgent..."

"Long-legged beauty, your vacation's over," the potato chip girl snapped, "something big is happening."

"What's going on? Is the Earth going to be destroyed?"

The long-legged girl, who had been looking lazy, suddenly became serious, and her bright face was now as sharp as a drawn blade!
event?

In the long-legged girl's mind, there are very few things that potato chip girl would call "big events".

Even during the 07 US economic crisis, when she strategized and acquired enough money to buy a small country, she simply said it was "a small matter."

"Almost?" Chip Girl tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Our little white rabbit has suddenly gone crazy."

"A little... white rabbit?"

The long-legged girl was taken aback. "I didn't know you had taken up pet ownership, but logically speaking, given how often you eat potato chips, even the crumbs from them would be enough to feed quite a few..."

"It's not that little white rabbit," the potato chip girl interrupted helplessly. "I mean the one the boss told us to keep an eye on."

"Oh... that legendary S-class student, is he still a high school student?"

The long-legged girl suddenly realized, "Although I don't think he has any S-class qualities at all, but the fact that you said that... why has he gone crazy?"

"Okay, let me list it for you, what I've compiled, what he's done from yesterday until now," said Chip Girl.

"I get up at six in the morning, run three kilometers to school, and study until three in the afternoon without taking a lunch break."

After school, he declined the invitation to a literature club activity from the girl he had secretly loved for three years and whom he felt he absolutely had to marry, and instead ran to the basketball court and played basketball for three hours.

Oh right, he also met Chu Zihang, an A-level mixed-race student from Kassel College, at the basketball court. The boss had also asked me to keep an eye on this guy.

Then, Chu Zihang's driver took him to a private gym for three hours of strength training, and then he was sent home to study for two hours before going to sleep.

After sleeping for six hours, he's now up and going for a three-kilometer run to school.

"What a healthy lifestyle!" the long-legged girl exclaimed.

"Where is the health? For an ordinary person who has no exercise habit at all, this level of exercise intensity should have caused rhabdomyolysis and left them bedridden and unable to move!"
But not only did he not, he was able to get up and go for a morning run again today, and he even ran faster than last time.

"Potato Chip Girl's eyes twitched."

"These things are completely out of character for the usually cowardly and timid Little Rabbit! He goes for morning runs to study, plays basketball to work out, and doesn't play video games or pay attention to his crush!"

This is simply...like he's suddenly become a completely different person.

"But isn't he S-rank? It's reasonable for an S-rank to be able to do something like this, right?" The long-legged girl was a little confused. "Bloodline awakening and all that..."

"If that were the case, the boss wouldn't have called me," the potato chip girl said in a low voice.

"The boss said he shouldn't have his bloodline awakened. At least not now."

Silence fell over the phone. To them, their boss was an elusive figure, extremely mysterious, and had never made a mistake.

If your boss takes notice and says it's absolutely impossible, then it must be a big deal.

If it wasn't a bloodline awakening, then what could have caused all of this?
"So, what do I need to do?" the long-legged girl asked.

"I need you to investigate what exactly happened. At present, I can only make speculations by obtaining some messy information through bribery or hacking, but that is far from enough for me to figure out the reason."

Chip Girl took a vicious bite of a potato chip.

"Do you know how outrageous it is to send an office worker like me to do fieldwork? I'm terrified, and it's so troublesome and tiring. I have to leave this kind of thing to you!"

I've already bought you the next available flight..."

……

Because he ran faster and more easily than yesterday, Lu Mingfei had even more time to eat breakfast than yesterday.

In the past, Lu Mingfei would have taken this rare opportunity to rest.

but now……

Lu Mingfei was quite itching to get started.

Whether it was because of his exceptionally good sleep quality or because the "physical recovery" also had an effect on the brain, he didn't feel sleepy at all, even though he only slept for six hours.

The thought of his next plan being to study during the morning and push his math skills to level 1 made him eager to try.

It's like being almost leveled up in a game.

Who can resist the temptation of upgrading!
Not to mention, there are also unknown powerful terms?

However, the overall schedule could not be changed, so Lu Mingfei had no choice but to wait.

As he was thinking, he suddenly burst out laughing. Who would have thought that he would actually look forward to studying one day!
[Warning, it's time for the planned [morning study session]...]

Finally, the time has come.

Lu Mingfei eagerly opened the math textbook "53" and soon entered a state of "flow" with great familiarity.

[Through hard work, your [mathematics] skills have improved, and you have gained 3 proficiency points.]
