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

Chapter 33 Don't misunderstand, my senior brother and I were just working out.
"I?"

"Pull this?"

Lu Mingfei craned his neck, pointed to his chin, and looked incredulous.

Is it difficult?

Chu Zihang's gaze froze slightly. Based on his observation, Lu Mingfei should be able to unleash such power now.

Even more.

220KG should be considered a warm-up exercise; it's just a deadlift with three times your own body weight, not difficult, right?

"It's not that it's difficult, it just feels a bit like asking me to kill Sun Wukong." Lu Mingfei gave an awkward but polite smile.

"Ok."

Chu Zihang didn't push him any further. Strength training shouldn't be forced, otherwise it's easy to get injured.

Remove three metal plates from each side.

At this moment, the weight has become 100KG... which is roughly the level that Chu Zihang had before he awakened his powers in junior high school.

"When deadlifting, pay attention to keeping your spine neutral and use your hip joint to generate power..." Coach Chu stood on the mat and began to demonstrate the key points of the movement.

"Where is the hip joint?" Lu asked humbly, raising his hand.

Chu Zihang took an empty bar and handed it to Lu Mingfei, explaining the concept of the hip joint and how to consciously exert force.

have to say.

Chu Zihang is quite meticulous and responsible, and has a keen eye, able to notice subtle muscle changes, in addition to Lu Mingfei's concentration.

Soon, he mastered all the key points of the three major movements.

However, once you get the hang of it...

Lu Mingfei realized that Chu Zihang hadn't misjudged him...

100KG is not a difficult task for him now; he still has the strength to lift even the most challenging weight, the bench press.

"Wow, I'm actually this powerful?"

Noticing that his entire body was stiff, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that his body seemed to have undergone some kind of change without his knowledge.

He didn't rush to lift heavy weights.

Instead, he lifted his shirt in front of the mirror. His body fat percentage wasn't low before; in fact, it was a bit high due to his frequent late-night gaming sessions. But now, he had a physique that wasn't exaggerated, but with clearly defined muscle lines.

Could it be that fat was burned directly and turned into muscle?
It's hard to say, because this process seems to happen in a very short time. Maybe you just took a nap and before you knew it, you had muscles that others would have to download fitness apps at least 10 times to achieve.

Lu Mingfei's confidence immediately increased.

Even Zhao Menghua, who previously called himself a "thin-skinned boy," doesn't look as good as him in his carefully lit muscle photos.

Seeing that the gym was empty, he simply took off his shirt and started posing in front of the mirror in a somewhat vain manner, like a 'son of Zeus' or a 'Logan cutter'. However, due to his muscle mass, he could only be considered a 'grandson of Zeus' or a 'Logan cutter' at best.

"Senior brother, do you think I'm amazing?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zihang silently lifted his shirt, revealing his standard eight-pack abs and perfect shark line.

This is naturally much better than him.

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to offer a heartfelt compliment, his gaze suddenly froze—through another mirror, at the entrance of the gym, stood two beautiful figures whose expressions were even more stiff than his.

It looks familiar.

"Su... Su Xiaoqiang?"

"Liu Miaomiao!?"

……

"Don't misunderstand, my senior brother and I are working out." Lu Mingfei was drenched in sweat.

"You... never mind whether there's a misunderstanding or not, just get dressed, okay?" Su Xiaoqiang covered her slightly feverish face and couldn't help but glance at Liu Miaomiao beside her.

The young piano prodigy seemed to be steaming again, and she covered her face, but a pair of bright eyes peeked out from between her fingers.

Instead of being frightened, she showed an expression that was both shy and...excited?

Not sisters, you...

Silence is Su Xiaoqiang tonight.

Lu Mingfei finally managed to put on his clothes in a flurry of activity. In contrast, Chu Zihang hadn't been as dramatic as him. He let go of Chu Zihang's clothes, and they naturally covered him up. His expression was quite calm, clearly indicating that he had plenty of experience in exposing his body to outsiders, of course, referring to combat.

Putting on clothes is like returning to the orderly society of humankind.

Su Xiaoqiang relaxed a lot, her beautiful eyes crinkling into slits as she clicked her tongue and said, "I didn't realize, Lu Mingfei, that you actually have quite a physique. Your muscle-building efforts are going so well? You even have abs now."

“That’s how dirty bulking works. You wouldn’t understand if you’re not dirty-minded.” Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief and retorted in his usual way.

Su Xiaoqiang immediately twitched the corners of her mouth.

What nonsense!
"Hehe, say whatever you want, but I must remind you that this is a public place."

“Uh…” Lu Mingfei stammered.

There was nothing he could do; he was definitely in the wrong. Who knew that two people would suddenly barge into the usually deserted gym! And they were girls! Girls he knew!
"By the way, what are you doing here? You...?" Lu Mingfei changed the subject.

"I'm a homeowner at Peacock Mansion, why can't I be here?" Su Xiaoqiang raised her delicate eyebrows and looked at him coldly. "Miaomiao just came to my house to play, so we came together. I didn't expect to run into you two!"

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized.

Indeed, as the largest mine owner in the area, it's perfectly normal for Su Xiaoqiang to live in the Peacock Mansion. He must live in the innermost villa area, just like Chu Zihang, and he probably owns several villas there!
Oh...right, her family is in the mining business.

Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up as he recalled the intelligence he had obtained at the Binhai East Mine that afternoon.

Perhaps we could ask Su Xiaoqiang. If I remember correctly, her father was already the biggest mining tycoon in Binhai in the last century, which is practically equivalent to getting deep intelligence extraction privileges for free.

He later tried to reactivate the permissions, but learned that after each activation, even if he didn't use it, he had to wait 24 hours, which prevented him from endlessly exploiting the bug.

"How about we work out together?" Lu Mingfei offered a workout invitation, casually rolling up his sleeve to show off his biceps.

What are you doing?

Su Xiaoqiang looked at him with disdain. "We don't practice this. Miaomiao and I are just going to climb the hill and work up a sweat. My treadmill at home is broken."

"What a coincidence! I also love to sweat. Let's do it together."

Lu Mingfei looked at him with a very coincidental expression.

If someone else said that, they would probably sue this guy for harassment.

However, Su Xiaoqiang only blushed slightly and said, "Nonsense."

Then he stomped his feet, tugged at Liu Miaomiao's sleeve, and headed towards the treadmill area.

Lu Mingfei immediately followed shamelessly and secretly gave Chu Zihang a thumbs up.

It means, 'Don't worry, senior brother, I'll find out about it for you right away.'

Beside him, Chu Zihang looked slightly shocked.

He, of course, failed to grasp the true meaning of Lu Mingfei's thumbs-up, because he hadn't considered that possibility at all. He could only assume that Lu Mingfei was asking him again, "Senior brother, do you think I'm amazing?"

Okay, that's really impressive.

It seems I was overthinking it; Lu Mingfei is not someone I need to worry about at all.

As for fitness...

There's really no rush.
