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

Chapter 15 Basketball LV1, this is cheating, there's no denying it!
"California sunshine?"

Lu Mingfei blinked, and for some reason, he felt that the name of the neighborhood sounded familiar.

"I probably just heard it somewhere by chance, anyway, it's not a very special name..."

Lu Mingfei, preoccupied with his own thoughts, didn't ask any further questions but instead focused on practicing basketball.

As dusk approaches, the slanting sunlight crosses the city skyline, weaving through the gaps between the skyscrapers, spreading its light all the way, illuminating the basketball that keeps bouncing and falling.

Sweat brings accumulation and success.

Through diligent practice, your basketball skills have improved, gaining 4 proficiency points.

【go through……】

finally--

Congratulations! After diligent practice, your [Basketball] level has reached LV1.

You have obtained the keyword "Precise Hit"!

[Entry: Precise Hit]
Effect: Within a ten-meter radius, any "throwing" action you take will automatically aim at the target point.

"What the hell?"

Upon seeing the results of the entry, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but swear.

What does it mean that any "throwing" action will automatically aim at the target point?
Isn't this just an aimbot cheat in the game?
I opened it!
Ten meters may not seem like a lot, but it covers more than a third of the basketball court and is well beyond the three-point line!

This means that if I wanted to, I could easily make a three-pointer right now?

Lu Mingfei immediately tried it out. He aimed at the center of the basket and then casually tossed the ball in.

At the moment he made his move, Lu Mingfei seemed to have a sudden inspiration.

His body subconsciously knew which direction, what angle, and how much force he needed to throw in order to hit the target.

So the basketball floated out of the net, drawing a perfect arc in the air, and swished through the net, carrying the sunset view outside the window!

Having just acquired a new skill, Lu Mingfei was clearly not satisfied with just one taste. He immediately dragged a cart full of basketballs (a flatbed cart with iron railings on all four sides and no top, specially designed for carrying balls) from the side, grabbed them, and started shooting.

Without aiming, he would jump and shoot as soon as he got the ball. Lu Mingfei even tried to do fancy tricks, such as a fadeaway jump shot, a 360-degree spin shot in the air, and even shooting with one hand covering his eyes and the other hand!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The sound of basketballs swishing through the net was almost continuous, with each basketball hitting the target from various angles in a perfect arc, the "thump" of them hitting the ground accompanied by Lu Mingfei's heavy breathing that he couldn't bear to stop.

"Fancy moves" require stamina, and the more fancy the moves, the more stamina they require. Although he had the support of [Stamina Recovery], Lu Mingfei only had a fast mana regeneration, not an infinite mana bar, and it quickly ran out.

As Lu Mingfei was about to release the last basketball, he finally ran out of strength. The basketball slipped from his hand, tracing an off-target trajectory in the most correct direction, resulting in a complete "airball".

"Huff, huff..." Lu Mingfei gasped for breath, barely managing to squeeze out some saliva and swallow it to moisten his extremely dry throat. He put his hands on his hips, his heart filled with excitement.

He has tested the effect of the "Accurate Hit" attribute—that is, as long as he is within ten meters and has enough stamina, the thrown object will go straight to the target without any deviation!
Even if he can't see the target in his field of vision, as long as he can construct the corresponding location in his mind... it's still possible!
That's just a blatant lie, there's no way to deny it.

"You've made great progress," came Chu Zihang's voice from the side.

"Right, senior? You really have a keen eye! I really am a basketball prodigy!"

Lu Mingfei put his hands on his hips and smiled smugly, but before he could be smug for even two seconds, he started picking up the basketballs that were rolling all over the ground and throwing them back into the basketball cart one by one, under the threat of the system's electric shock countdown.

Chu Zihang remained silent, deep in thought.

Lu Mingfei is undergoing a bloodline awakening, which Chu Zihang believes is inevitable.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the series of events that occurred before, let alone Lu Mingfei's current outrageous progress.

Hybrids experience a certain degree of physical enhancement upon awakening their bloodline, though the emphasis varies depending on the power of their words. Some gain strength, some agility, and others achieve a well-rounded balance...

In Chu Zihang's view, Lu Mingfei's situation might be more inclined towards "control"?
As for what exactly this "word of power" was, Chu Zihang had no clue.

Each Word of Power is activated without any warning. If that were the case, Chu Zihang wouldn't have gone on a mission during his winter break. He should be at Kassel College, sitting at a table with those ancient fossils who study dragons, and he'd have to be the one to start eating before anyone else could.

However, there is one thing Chu Zihang is certain of: when a hybrid bloodline awakens its own bloodline, it is extremely dangerous!
Hybrids possess the blood of dragons and acquire the power of dragons [Words of Power], naturally inheriting their various negative emotions such as tyranny, bloodlust, and sorrow.

Once the awakening is successful and stable, things are fine. However, during the bloodline awakening period, suddenly possessing a powerful physique and strength, coupled with the influence of negative emotions, makes it the easiest time for trouble to occur!
But Chu Zihang didn't see this at all in Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei acted as if nothing had happened, still cheerful and spouting nonsense all day long. If it weren't for the fact that his actions and progress were completely illogical, and there wasn't even the slightest flaw, he would have remained a figure of immense influence.

"Lu Mingfei."

"Senior brother, tell me!"

Lu Mingfei trotted over, dribbling the basketball with a cheerful gait, panting slightly, much like a little puppy that would perk up at the slightest bit of sunshine while playing with the ball.

"Have you felt anything is off lately?" Chu Zihang carefully chose his words.

"Something's wrong..."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, realizing something was really wrong with him. His momentary, intermittent burst of confidence had been completely frozen in place by a schedule he couldn't cancel for a month!
But Lu Mingfei couldn't possibly tell Chu Zihang about this, not because he couldn't trust him, but because this thing was simply unscientific!
Even if I told him, Chu Zihang probably wouldn't believe me, and might even think I'm mentally ill or something...

Seeing Lu Mingfei hesitate, Chu Zihang became even more certain of his guess.

“Emotions like anger, sadness, or a desire to destroy something?” he asked.

Now that it's confirmed that Lu Mingfei is undergoing a bloodline awakening, we should talk to him about things related to the dragon race. It's better to lay the groundwork now.

"Emotions...yes!"

Lu Mingfei recalled what had happened in math class that morning, his face paling slightly. He immediately recounted it briefly to Chu Zihang.

"Afterwards, I felt like a completely different person, and I had a strong urge to chop things up!"

Chu Zihang fell silent again.

A semester has passed, and Chu Zihang has become the president of the Lionheart Society of Kassel College at an unprecedented speed. He has also joined the executive department and gone on several missions... and has read many files.

Among them are mixed-race individuals who, due to various events, experience significant emotional fluctuations, awaken their bloodline awakening, and become bloodthirsty, causing human tragedies.

But what's going on with Lu Mingfei?

When other people get angry, they lose control and start committing massacres. When you get angry, you also lose control and end up going up to the podium to do a challenging math fill-in-the-blank question?

Is it just to prove the saying "people are capable of anything when they're angry"?
"Am I in a big problem?" Lu Mingfei asked Chu Zihang with some trepidation.

"not very big."

Chu Zihang really couldn't lie and say that this situation was serious, after all, the more serious it might be, the more difficult the math problems would be... it seemed like a good thing no matter how you looked at it.

"Really?" Lu Mingfei asked, still somewhat skeptical.

"Really," Chu Zihang affirmed. "However, if this happens again in the future, remember to tell me immediately, as soon as possible..."

He paused, then said, "You probably don't have a cell phone yet."

"Not yet, but I can buy it myself once I get the money..."

Lu Mingfei was initially delighted, but then paused, realizing what he meant. With his schedule already packed, how could he possibly have time to buy a phone!
"I might have to trouble you to buy me one later, senior brother. Anything is fine, just deduct it from that money."

Lu Mingfei chuckled awkwardly, rubbing his hands together like a fly, "When is Senior Brother planning to arrange for a lawyer to visit my aunt's house?"

By leaving behind the existing property without pursuing it, Lu Mingfei felt he had already done more than enough and repaid kindness with ingratitude. Now, when asked about this matter, he could say he had a clear conscience.

It's almost six o'clock.

Chu Zihang took out his phone to check the time and messages. "As expected, the agreement and contract are already in front of them. If they don't want to go to court and pay even more, they have no choice but to sign it."
