Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Since awakening his ability, his observation skills have also improved significantly, and he had already noticed that Chu Zihang seemed to be wearing contact lenses.

“Yes,” Chu Zihang said, “my eyesight has deteriorated a bit.”

That's nonsense. Mixed-race people almost never have nearsightedness. People who were originally nearsighted will have incredibly good eyesight once they awaken their bloodline.

However, because the blood rush can cause his bloodline to go out of control, he now occasionally lights up his golden eyes unconsciously, so he always wears black contact lenses outside of the academy.

Right now, his golden eyes only occasionally and unintentionally appear. As the side effects of the bloodlust become more severe, his golden eyes may never be able to be turned off again, and that day should not be too far off.

Lu Mingfei didn't connect the dots to the Golden Eyes. In his opinion, it was perfectly normal for a top student like Chu Zihang to have his eyesight decline due to hard work.

But Chu Zihang's contact lenses did remind Lu Mingfei—

Lu Mingfei felt he should get some black contact lenses.

After awakening his ability, his eyes can turn gold. Although he can freely switch between normal pupils and golden eyes normally, he will unconsciously light up his golden eyes when he engages in strenuous exercise or uses his special ability to analyze objects.

In addition, when he is studying with complete concentration, his golden eyes will unconsciously light up, and in this situation, his learning efficiency will be further improved.

This happened when Tony hired a tutor to teach him, which startled the tutor. However, after Tony had a friendly chat with her, she naturally ignored Lu Mingfei's special circumstances.

"Maybe I should buy some colored contact lenses, so I won't scare someone if I'm too focused on studying one day," Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

There happened to be an eyeglasses store not far from his hotel.

……

Lu Mingfei's room in a budget hotel.

Lu Mingfei sat at his desk, which was neatly stacked with many books. On the corner of the desk were contact lenses that Lu Mingfei had just bought from an optician's shop, still in their packaging.

Three days have passed since Lu Mingfei borrowed the books from Senior Brother Chu, and he has basically read through all of them.

His biggest takeaway was—high school knowledge is really simple!

Compared to the "teachers" Tony brought him from all over the world, for the first time in his life, Lu Mingfei felt that mathematics and physics were so lovely, so easy to understand, and so considerate.

What his teachers taught him was not suitable for taking the college entrance examination, because the purpose of the college entrance examination and the purpose of academic research are actually quite different.

It's like asking a mathematician to take a math college entrance exam without any preparation; they might not get a high score.

Or, if you asked a British linguist to work on the English college entrance exam, they might be in an even worse situation than a mathematician.

It's not that they're not good enough, or that the college entrance exam was too difficult; it's just that their majors aren't really "matched" to their skills.

But just because what teachers teach isn't suitable for the college entrance exam doesn't mean it's easy.

On the contrary, because of Tony's special instructions, these teachers wanted to treat Lu Mingfei with the same attitude they would have used for Einstein.

At first, they were a little hesitant, but seeing that Lu Mingfei was indeed exceptionally efficient at learning and could apply what he learned to other situations, the teachers completely let go and taught without considering whether Lu Mingfei could understand. They just poured high-density information into him, even cramming wouldn't be done like this—and the key is that Lu Mingfei actually learned it all.

The price was that the Golden Eyes were forced out several times.

Looking back now, although it was only a short five days, it was truly a memory I don't want to recall.

Lu Mingfei glanced at the high school textbooks on the table and found them even more adorable.

However, simply reading high school textbooks wouldn't be enough, and besides, he had basically finished studying the textbooks, so it was time to get down to business.

He was going to an internet cafe to learn about the current state of technological development in various industries around the world.

Of course, you don't need to look at every industry; just pick a few that are easy to sell patents for.

Previously in Tony's world, when he heard that Lu Mingfei wanted to learn technology and sell patents, Tony reminded Lu Mingfei that he must carefully consider the technology he offered and not make it too advanced, otherwise it might cause many problems or even extremely serious consequences.

For example, the U.S. military has been closely monitoring Stark Industries and covets Tony's various technologies.

Especially after the Iron Man suit was announced, the military was practically trying to persuade Tony Stark to sell it.

It is said that they even promoted a female officer who was so beautiful she could be an international magazine cover model to the rank of major general, because some people thought that "playboy Tony Stark might fall at the feet of a beautiful American female major general."

The facts proved that "beauty + American female major general" is indeed a powerful weapon. Sometimes a woman's identity is more attractive to men than her beauty, and Tony did indeed accept the sugar-coated bullet.

Then he ate the sugar coating and sent the cannonball back.

There are countless similar eyes and actions targeting Tony. If Stark Industries hadn't been so successful since World War II and hadn't become such a large and well-established company, Tony would have been forced to hand over a lot of technology under pressure long ago.

In fact, Tony didn't need to specifically remind him; Lu Mingfei could understand this very simple principle on his own.

Once, when he was chatting with Tony, Tony complained that if he handed over the micro nuclear fusion technology, human civilization would definitely not enter a wonderful era of interstellar exploration. Instead, it would start an unprecedented massive war in a very short time, and let the flames of war spread all over the world.

He could not predict what reasons or justifications would lead to war among the nations of humanity, but he was certain that war would break out, a belief stemming from his absolute trust in his fellow human beings.

Lu Mingfei immediately criticized you, saying that your trust was a bit too twisted.

Despite his complaints, Lu Mingfei kept Tony's teachings in mind.

It's true that technological advancements drive human progress, but sometimes, progress is preceded by conflict. Or, conversely, progress might occur first, followed by another conflict.

Tony told Lu Mingfei not to throw the baby out with the bathwater, but to remind him to think twice before revealing any technology, lest he end up only thinking about making money and then find himself in the middle of a major conflict.

It will be too late to regret it then.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei decided to proceed with caution, first thoroughly understanding the technological level of his world, and then pulling out some things that could make money but wouldn't be too overpowered.

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to go downstairs to find an internet cafe, he heard a knock on the door and a girl's clear voice calling out, "Lu Mingfei! Open the door!"

"Coming, coming!" Lu Mingfei hurriedly went to open the door.

Su Xiaoqiang stood outside the door carrying a fully loaded schoolbag, and handed it to Lu Mingfei with an annoyed look: "Take this, it's so heavy!"

Inside her schoolbag were the winter break homework and test papers that she had photocopied for Lu Mingfei.

"Thank you," Lu Mingfei quickly took the schoolbag with one hand and gave a thumbs-up with the other, "Little Fairy is so righteous!"

"Hmph," Su Xiaoqiang snorted, "What's the use of making copies for you? You're not doing your winter break homework anyway!"

“Go ahead and write it. I’ll start tonight, and if all goes well, I should be done by the day after tomorrow,” Lu Mingfei said casually.

The test papers aren't difficult for him now, the problem is there are just too many of them. Even if he had the answers, copying them would take a long time.

"Keep bragging," Su Xiaoqiang said, and without waiting for Lu Mingfei to greet her, she walked past him and went inside. "Hmm, it's fairly clean, and there's not much of a smell."

"What's with that dorm supervisor tone you're using?" Lu Mingfei complained as he put his backpack on the bed.

"You paid for this room with my money, so watch your tone."

Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes at him, her gaze sweeping over a box on the table. She froze, then turned to look at Lu Mingfei in surprise: "You wear colored contact lenses?"

"Yeah, my eyesight has been getting worse lately," Lu Mingfei said casually.

Su Xiaoqiang stared intently at the contact lens box, which indicated the color of the contact lenses—Butterfly Black.

She suddenly turned to look at Lu Mingfei, who was completely bewildered.

If she remembered correctly, her father had told her to keep an eye on Lu Mingfei and see if he was wearing colored contact lenses.

Su Xiaoqiang stared at Lu Mingfei, her eyes narrowing, her gaze gradually sharpening.

Thank you to Xingyueya for the 5,000 points, thank you to the introverted player who doesn't interact for the 500 points, thank you to reader 20200817193426848 for the 100 points, thank you to reader 20210501213424056 for the 100 points, and thank you to Yukinoshita no Pet Boy for the 100 points. Thank you!

Chapter 21 Who is prettier, me or Chen Wenwen?

Budget hotel, room for Lu Mingfei.

Not long ago, her father's words of advice came to Su Xiaoqiang's mind.

Pay close attention to whether his eyes have turned gold or whether he has worn colored contact lenses.

Su Xiaoqiang stared at Lu Mingfei, a boy who had been unremarkable for the past two years except for his penchant for being cheeky. At this moment, he seemed shrouded in mist, making him difficult to see clearly.

Lu Mingfei took two quick steps and casually put the packaging of the colored contact lenses into the drawer.

"I can understand if your eyesight is declining and you wear contact lenses, but why would a guy like you wear colored contact lenses?" Su Xiaoqiang didn't show anything unusual; instead, he complained with a look of disgust.

"These are prescription contact lenses!" Lu Mingfei lied without blinking.

"So why do you wear colored contact lenses? Isn't it better to wear regular contact lenses?" Su Xiaoqiang pressed.

"Uh... when I bought contact lenses, the salesperson told me that wearing colored contact lenses that match my pupil color would make my eyes look brighter and more expressive, even better than eye makeup for you girls," Lu Mingfei casually made up.

"Really?" Su Xiaoqiang asked, her face full of doubt.

"That's what the salesperson said anyway. Even if she was just trying to fool me, I've already bought it, so I'm too lazy to return it," Lu Mingfei said.

"Tch, you're too easy to fool," Su Xiaoqiang said irritably. "Remember to stick to your own ideas when buying things in the future, and don't let others lead you by the nose, or you won't even know you've been ripped off."

Although she herself was extravagant with money, that didn't stop Su Xiaoqiang from admonishing Lu Mingfei.

"Next time for sure, next time for sure," Lu Mingfei said.

He breathed a sigh of relief after the topic was dropped.

Logically, he should have kept his contact lenses hidden from everyone, and he did intend to put them away before Su Xiaoqiang arrived. However, Su Xiaoqiang's arrival was completely unexpected.

He called Su Xiaoqiang this morning and asked her to make a copy of his winter vacation homework when she had time, and then he would go to Su Xiaoqiang's house to pick up the copy.

After making the call, he went downstairs, bought the contact lenses, and then started reading.

Unexpectedly, before noon, Su Xiaoqiang not only had already photocopied his winter vacation homework, but also personally brought the photocopies over, which is why she noticed the box of colored contact lenses.

But it wasn't a big deal, since she didn't know what those colored contact lenses were for anyway.

Lu Mingfei had no idea that Su Xiaoqiang's mind was already racing with doubts—could this girl really have eyes that turn gold, just like her father said?

While pondering, Su Xiaoqiang's gaze fell on the textbooks on the table, and she asked, "Didn't you run away from home? How come you still have textbooks?"

"Oh, these are textbooks I borrowed from Senior Brother Chu," Lu Mingfei said.

"Senior Brother Chu? Which Senior Brother Chu?" Su Xiaoqiang's eyes widened.

“Which Senior Brother Chu could it be? Of course, it’s Senior Brother Chu Zihang, who is one year ahead of us and has already graduated,” Lu Mingfei said.

"You and Senior Brother Chu are so close?!" Su Xiaoqiang had seen Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei strolling together before, but she didn't expect their relationship to be so good that they could borrow books from each other.

"We're not that close, it's just that Senior Brother Chu is a nice person," Lu Mingfei explained.

That makes sense. Although Su Xiaoqiang hadn't seen Chu Zihang much, Chu Zihang had always been known as an excellent student at Shilan Middle School.

While chatting, Lu Mingfei walked to the schoolbag that Su Xiaoqiang had brought, took out the test papers, and piled them into two thick stacks on the bed.

"Thank you so much, Little Fairy, for photocopying so many papers for me," Lu Mingfei said. "How much is the photocopying fee?"

"Come on, you still need me to support you with my allowance," Su Xiaoqiang said dismissively. "Give me back the money I lent you, it's just passing it around from one hand to the other, what's in it for me?"

"Shall I write you another IOU?" Lu Mingfei suggested.
