A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 142 High-Ranking Officials, They Have a Secret
With the matter initially settled, many members looked serious. Fingel glanced around, clapped his hands, and said, "Now that we've covered the serious business, let's talk about something light and cheerful."

"I recently discovered a key point about potion digestion."

Two simple sentences attracted the attention of all members.

Now, all thoughts, such as Principal Angers' suspicions and the need for a proactive counterattack, were suppressed.

The digestion of potions is the most important thing for every member, as it relates to everyone's core interests, and no amount of attention is too much.

After Fingel is promoted to the Guardian of Knowledge, he will no longer keep things to himself.

He quickly shared the fact that Lu Mingfei and Caesar could accelerate the digestion of the potion: "...That's it, so I think there's something very wrong with these two."

"I was promoted to Sequence 7 only a month ago. After frantically explaining all sorts of hidden knowledge to Lu Mingfei, I have already digested most of the potion."

"Lu Mingfei's bloodline rating is at least S-level, which is understandable, but Caesar is clearly defined as A-level, yet he is only slightly inferior to Lu Mingfei in terms of helping with potion digestion, which is quite mysterious."

"Do you remember? To ensure the accuracy of the results, last night when we checked into the hotel, I spoke with each of you individually and shared some knowledge about how the executive department conducted the investigation eight years ago."

"We share the same knowledge. In terms of potion digestion, Lu Mingfei provided the most help, followed by Caesar."

At this point, Fingel gave Chu Zihang on his left a meaningful look, his intention clear.

Chu Zihang's bloodline rating is the same as Caesar's, both being A-grade hybrids.

Furthermore, Chu Zihang himself is a Sequence 7 arsonist. The combination of these two factors should theoretically make him far superior to Caesar in helping Fingal digest the potion.

The truth is completely the opposite; this enhanced version of Chu Zihang is not as helpful as the assistance provided by Caesar.

Chu Zihang fell into deep thought upon hearing this. No wonder when he provoked Caesar, the potion digestion process was more efficient than when he provoked the entire student council.

So Caesar was hiding some kind of secret too.

Chen Motong and Su Xi were also concerned: "That loser Lu Mingfei? Is he really that amazing?"

In their minds, it's no exaggeration to say that Caesar is impressive; at least his performance at Kassel College was undeniable.

But Lu Mingfei, this S-class, is no different from a little white rabbit, completely lacking the aura of a mixed-race person.

They didn't spend much time with Lu Mingfei, but Chen Motong was just an observer, and Su Qian always asked Lu Mingfei about Chu Zihang's past, yet they never realized how capable Lu Mingfei was.

Asou Makoto, Erii, and the newly arrived Nuwa could only listen blankly, completely unaware of anything about Lu Mingfei or Caesar.

But he also silently noted that playing the role of someone with high bloodline would allow them to digest the potion more quickly.

Fingel nodded firmly: "On the surface, it doesn't seem like anything, but after two months of getting to know him, I'm pretty sure that Lu Mingfei isn't deliberately hiding his true intentions or pretending to be weak. He is..."

He's really bad.

Fingel ultimately didn't say this aloud: "In short, Lu Mingfei must have unique secrets and potential."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense; it's the best way to help the potion digest."

"Knock knock." The familiar tapping sound came again. The members looked at the Fool in disbelief. Was this the first time the table had been tapped twice in a row?
Mr. Fool is in a good mood today, so he's very willing to talk to them more?

Or perhaps Mr. Fool was so satisfied with the first successful Three Gorges mission that he wanted to train them even more?
Different thoughts flashed through everyone's minds as they guessed what Mr. Fool would say this time.

“You just mentioned some simple common sense, which makes me realize that the believers who led you to the church did not seem to have told you this.”

"Playing the role of a high-ranking being can often accelerate the digestion of your potions."

"For example, what Mr. White Tower is doing now, or what Mr. Red Priest has done in the past. But I must remind you that provoking a high-ranking being often dangerous."

"Of course, the premise is that the high-ranking being possesses strength commensurate with their rank." These words revealed the secret of Lu Mingfei and Caesar.

These two individuals hold exceptionally high ranks due to factors they are currently unaware of, but their actual strength is far below their rank.

For the members of the gathering, their current status is far inferior to the other two, which is why they have the effect of accelerating the digestion of the potion.

"High-ranking position." Several members murmured these three words, vaguely understanding something.

Normally, the higher a being's rank, the stronger they are; it's a direct proportional relationship, without a doubt.

So Lu Mingfei and Caesar were seriously injured? Their strength plummeted, yet they still retained their ranks?
Or perhaps it's something that's naturally developed, requiring strength to grow step by step?

That doesn't make sense either. Caesar was from the Gattuso family. A family, a clan, they couldn't have been born into one.

They have another secret!

In short, Mr. Fool, perhaps he knows!

Thinking of this, Fingel respectfully asked, "Mr. Fool, what price must I pay to know Lu Mingfei's secret?"

He had a premonition that once Lu Mingfei's secret was uncovered, the remaining Guardian Potion might be able to be instantly digested, allowing for rapid advancement.

The fool played by Bao Lie can speak some common sense, and his errands are barely acceptable.

However, it is impossible to make arbitrary and reckless revelations without going through the main body and the Quanlie meeting.

Faced with Fingel's respectful inquiry, Borgley casually uttered two words: "Not enough."

These two short words are enough to evoke a wealth of thoughts.

This shows that Mr. Fool did indeed know about Lu Mingfei, and even about the secrets hidden within Caesar.

This also shows that this secret is truly significant, so significant that Fingel is unable to pay for it.

Almost everyone present knew that Fingel was incredibly wealthy, after all, he was the first person to lend money at a party.

They must have a lot of contribution points and be able to produce all sorts of precious dragon blood materials. Such people are not worth the price to pay.

Just how big is the secret Lu Mingfei is hiding? And what secrets is Caesar hiding?
Chu Zihang knew that Mr. Fool was kindly reminding him not to randomly seek out high-ranking figures to play, because not all high-ranking figures are like Caesar, whose strength does not match their position.

But if the Fool says that, wouldn't he have to set fire to Caesar's heart to speed up the digestion?
Chen Motong had the same idea. She originally didn't plan to do anything reckless, but seeing Chu Zihang and Fingel's eager expressions, she knew what they were thinking.

Everyone's actively competing; there's no way to avoid it.

Susie did the same. In order to keep up with Chu Zihang, she had to do it no matter how difficult it was. She decided to start acting strange in front of Lu Mingfei and Caesar from today onwards.

At this gathering, everyone was lost in thought and few people spoke. Then it came to the transaction. Nuwa then revealed that she wanted to exchange dragon blood materials, cash, real estate, company shares, and the like for the magic potion formula.

Everyone was taken aback and subconsciously observed the Fool, only to find that he had no objections and had clearly tacitly approved the sale of the formula.

But if the formula is given to someone else, it could easily reveal the abilities I possess. Should I really sell it?
Seeing that everyone was starting to think, Nuwa knew that she couldn't rush things. She said that she would make the purchases over a long period of time, and that everyone could go back and calmly consider the pros and cons before starting the transaction at the next gathering.

The meeting adjourned, with only Bao Lie and Xu Lie's clones remaining.

As soon as the others left, Bao Lie immediately removed the cover of the gray mist, raised his legs high and placed them on the long bronze table, closed his eyes and said: "Wait a moment, I'll go pull up the main body."

The source fortress is located on Xu Lie's main body. Through this special connection, even though Xu Lie's main body is still parasitizing Fenrir's body, the fortress can contact the main body at any time.
