Dragon Clan: I am Lu Mingfei, the Intelligence Strategist, the God of Concepts!

Chapter 37 Your Opponent Is Not Human

Old Tang cursed and turned on airplane mode.

Lu Mingfei then opened the game that had already been installed—holding a peerless sword, he naturally wanted to spar with someone.

However, the guys in the expert group are no longer willing to play with him.

He had no choice but to randomly match with strangers on the gaming platform and play a few games. Unsurprisingly, he won every time. The wins were so easy that he didn't even feel any enjoyment.

"It's as lonely as snow," Lu Mingfei sighed.

The three quick kills took less than 15 minutes in total.

He simply joined a spectator match, put down the pink mouse, sipped his cola, and stared blankly at the game like the sweeping monk in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils." Back then, when the old man watched the so-called epic duel in Shaolin Temple, he didn't care about the moves at all; he was only worried about whether he would have any vegetarian food to eat that night.

After a while.

'Knock knock—'

There was another knock on the door.

Su Xiaoqiang returned after taking a shower, dressed in casual home clothes, her hair still wet and draped over her shoulders.

Girls at school often whispered that Su Xiaoqiang was pretentious, always wearing makeup every day. But in reality, Su Xiaoqiang never wore makeup. Her mixed-race features were naturally three-dimensional and clear, and her face was the flawless, delicate beauty of a typical Eastern girl. After being steamed by the hot air, her skin was fair and rosy, as if you could squeeze water out of it.

"What are you looking at? Your game is about to die."

Su Xiaoqiang gave a soft hum and gathered her soft, moist hair from her forehead.

"No, I'm watching others play."

Lu Mingfei subconsciously looked away and offered an explanation.

"Tch, if you're captivated by me, just say so. What's there to be embarrassed about?"

A hint of smugness flashed in Su Xiaoqiang's eyes.

"Now you know who's the prettiest, right?"

She still remembered being bullied by Lu Mingfei when school started.

Lu Mingfei remained silent, staring at the screen, savoring the bubbles in his cola on his tongue.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoqiang felt inexplicably cheerful.

You have to understand that this guy is Chen Wenwen's top subordinate. Some questions, not answering them already speaks volumes.

"What kind of game is this?" Su Xiaoqiang noticed the various strange things on the screen.

“StarCraft,” Lu Mingfei replied.

"Not fun?"

Su Xiaoqiang came closer out of curiosity.

From this angle, the girl's swan-like neck and clearly defined shoulder blades are displayed before Lu Mingfei.

A warm breeze wafted into Lu Mingfei's nose, smelling sweet. His cheeks flushed slightly, and he quickly stood up to give up his seat.

"It's alright," he said.

Su Xiaoqiang sat down directly, fiddled with her mouse, but there was no response. "How do you play?"

"This is for spectating; if you want to play, you'll have to start a game."

"Oh, then can you teach me how to play?"

“This…” Lu Mingfei hesitated.

Su Xiaoqiang turned her head to look at him.
"What do you mean? You don't look down on me, do you? Or do you not want to teach me?"

"No no."

Lu Mingfei looked embarrassed.

To be honest, StarCraft isn't really a game for girls. It's very difficult to learn and not very beginner-friendly... He'd never seen a girl interested in this kind of game before.

but.

Su Xiaoqiang insisted on facing the challenge head-on, saying that she should experience it for herself.

"Then let's play on the computer first and get familiar with the interface," Lu Mingfei said after thinking for a moment.

"It's a robot; it doesn't fight real people."

"Ah."

Su Xiaoqiang didn't object this time.

He watched intently as Lu Mingfei took the mouse and the screen switched images.

"This game is a real-time strategy game. You collect resources on the map, create soldiers, develop technology, and then attack the opponent."

Lu Mingfei gave a general explanation of the game rules.

Su Xiaoqiang listened intently, then suddenly pointed to the chair in front of the dressing table. "Move a chair over here! Why are you always hunched over? Aren't you tired?"

"it is good."

"The most important things in the game are minerals and gas. You need to build farmers to collect them. You can make farmers to mine minerals... Look, it's this round thing that looks like a small spaceship."

After sitting down.

The two were very close, as if they could faintly feel each other's body temperature.

Suddenly, Lu Mingfei noticed that the fragrant smell had become even stronger, and he couldn't help but sniff it.

She subconsciously looked up, only to meet Su Xiaoqiang's slightly moist eyes.

"Keep going, what's next?" she urged softly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

……

After one hour.

Exhausted, Lu Mingfei returned home, took a shower, and lay down on the bed.

So...tired!
He realized for the first time that there were actually tough guys in the world who could go head-to-head with math problems.

Teaching girls how to play games... is no easy task!
Overall, Su Xiaoqiang is considered to be a relatively talented type. He didn't act arrogantly during the process and appeared to be humbly learning. However, StarCraft is a game that is not something that can be learned just by wanting to learn it.

Just teaching her about the units and roles of one race made her sweat.

During this time, he once thought that his teaching ability was insufficient and tried to reinforce it by saying "anyone can do it," but Su Xiaoqiang heard this and thought it was a mockery. The good bilateral relationship was instantly broken and he almost scratched her.

Alas, I feel tired.

However, in the end, Su Xiaoqiang's father did not return.

It seems there's something urgent at the company, and the temporary overtime has turned into an all-nighter.

Upon receiving the message, Aunt Chen politely went upstairs to knock on the door, and then politely saw Lu Mingfei out of the villa.

"I'll have to visit again another time."

Lu Mingfei muttered to himself and soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next day.

Because the school's make-up classes were canceled, I had free time all day.

Lu Mingfei planned to work out during the day and pick up Lao Tang from the airport in the evening.

Arriving at the empty gym, Lu Mingfei earnestly swung the weight plates, following the instructions Chu Zihang had taught him the day before, feeling the rhythm of his muscles.

A positive response to something will naturally greatly inspire people's enthusiasm.

For him now, both studying and exercising are things that have a great positive feedback loop, but of course, he prefers exercising.

There's no way around it; after being a couch potato for so many years, I still have a deep-seated aversion to studying.

After finishing a set of movements, he looked at his increased [combat power] and fell into deep thought.

That's right. After trying it last night, he discovered that combat power can be increased through training.

At this point, there are three ways to improve combat power.

Eating, exercising, and fighting monsters.

This made him re-examine a problem he had never seriously considered before.

"How exactly is combat strength assessed?"

"According to my senior brother, D-rank hybrids are not much stronger than ordinary people in terms of physical fitness, nor do they awaken powerful incantations."

"But the panel shows that Su Xiaoqiang's aunt also has a combat power of 8 points, which is 1 point higher than the Sanda champion we met on the first day."

Lu Mingfei was somewhat puzzled.

Now, after testing his strength at the gym, he has a full understanding of his level.

He is much stronger than the average person.

But to say that he's significantly stronger... that's not quite true, especially compared to a Sanda champion.

Regardless of whether Su Xiaoqiang's aunt could actually beat him, Lu Mingfei felt that he was most likely no match for her; he was well aware of that much of his own limitations.

"Then why is my combat power still so much higher?" Lu Mingfei muttered to himself in front of the mirror.

At this time.

A voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"Because the opponent against which this value is referenced is not human."
