Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 46

When Lu Mingfei dragged his feet into the No. 1 canteen of Kassel College, it was completely empty except for the cleaning staff.

The afternoon sun slanted in through the stained glass of the dome, casting dappled shadows on the empty dining chairs.

"what?"

Lu Mingfei looked at the person in charge behind the food counter with a shocked expression:
"There's no more food?"

"Yes."

The waiter replied cautiously:
"Lunch time is over, and the ingredients for dinner are still being prepared. Your timing is indeed unfortunate. Why don't you go and take a look at Cafeteria Number Two?"

"All right."

Lu Mingfei muttered:

"It can only be the."

The No. 1 canteen mainly serves Chinese food, emphasizing the taste of home and offering a wide variety of cuisines. It's also a place Lu Ming frequents.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, a man dressed with an air of authority that practically screamed "I'm in charge here!" ran out of the kitchen, sweating profusely, and bowed and scraped to Lu Mingfei.

"Are you Mr. Lu?"

Lu Mingfei wondered if they needed to check his household registration to eat in the cafeteria now, but he still answered honestly:
"I'm."

“I am the manager of Restaurant No. 1,” the middle-aged man said respectfully. “Considering your S-level status, we have already called the head chef in charge of today’s cooking when you walked into the restaurant.”

However, he's from Shanxi and has a habit of taking a nap after lunch, so it took a little time to wake him. That's no problem. Please tell me what you'd like to eat today, and I'll have the kitchen prepare it as quickly as possible.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously wanted to tell the person in charge that it was not necessary to go to such trouble. He had originally planned to turn left to the vending machine in the No. 2 canteen and try the newly arrived teriyaki chicken bento.

However, considering that they had already called the head chef over, even though it was their own decision, it wasn't good to order people around like that.

Lu Mingfei had no choice but to shut up and apologize to the head chef in his heart.

"I'll have a bowl of plain noodles, with two fried eggs."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, unable to think of anything good to eat for the moment.

I wonder what the head chef and manager thought when they heard Lu Mingfei's words, but that's none of Lu's business.

Soon after, the waiter served him his plain noodles.

The noodles are served in an exquisite celadon bowl. The clear broth is as transparent as amber, with a slight golden sheen. The thin, silvery noodles lie neatly in the broth, each strand distinct.

A few bright green scallions floated on the surface of the soup, a perfect garnish. Two fried eggs rested beside the noodles, the edges of the egg whites slightly browned and golden, while the yolks remained runny.

The steam rose gently, carrying the rich aroma of lard and scallions.

The entire bowl of noodles was presented in a perfect manner, a true work of art. Lu Mingfei couldn't help but admire the chef's skill, but actually—

He just wanted to eat a simple bowl of fried egg noodles from a roadside eatery.

No matter how delicious the delicacies are, nothing beats the simple pleasures of everyday life.

You should know that he may not have eaten human food for a week, a month, or even a year! Although there is also day and night in the border area, because of the existence of death and resurrection, Lu Mingfei has long been too lazy to keep track of the days and just lets time pass by.

Those who have faded do not need to eat. The only thing they can taste is the red and blue Dettol chalice, but the essence of that stuff is actually the energy body blessed by the golden tree. To say that it tastes good is really a stretch.

Just as Lu Mingfei was engrossed in slurping his noodles, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him. Before he could turn around, he heard Professor Guderian's signature loud voice:
"Mingfei! So you were here!"

Professor Guderian rushed up to him and was visibly taken aback when he saw the delicate bowl of plain noodles on the table.

"Oh, you're eating?"

He pushed up his glasses.

"Actually, there is a special 24-hour dining channel in Cafeteria No. 3, which is specially prepared for the staff in the Executive Department who have irregular work schedules and A-level students."

Lu Mingfei, with half a strip of rice still in his mouth, mumbled:
"Oh, I don't know, Professor."

"But now is not the time to talk about that!"

Professor Guderian suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he had remembered something important:

"The equipment department is all set up to give you a comprehensive test of your verbal power. Professor Schneider specifically instructed me to make sure you are taken there on time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei almost choked on his noodles. He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Shall we go now?"

Professor Guderian noticed his gaze and waved his hand:

"It's okay, you can finish your noodles. You're an S-rank, so what's wrong with making those people from the Equipment Department wait for you for ten minutes?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a chair and sat down, taking a stack of documents out of his pocket:
"Since we have this time, let me tell you about the tests we'll be doing later."

Watching the professor talk non-stop, Lu Mingfei silently sped up his eating.

He thought to himself that the equipment department's tests were known for being "exciting," and he wondered what new tricks they would come up with this time.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh, and even the noodles in his bowl didn't seem so delicious anymore.

However, this is unavoidable.

Words of power are crucial weapons for hybrids and dragons; without them, life is like hopping on one leg. Didn't you see how Norton, whose power was restricted by Lu Mingze, was still killed by the still-naive Lu Mingfei?
Although the area of ​​"sin and punishment" is the main focus of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Therefore, the fact that Lu Mingfei's words were not detected during the first half of the semester and that he was able to maintain his "S-level" rating was clearly the result of Principal Angers' all-out efforts to protect him.

Later, in the Three Gorges Reservoir, under the pressure of life and death, Lu Mingfei "awakened" his bloodline and showed strength that was almost comparable to that of a mixed-blood monarch. At the same time, he released two incantations, "Eye of the Wind King" and "Dustless Land", which completely proved his "S-level" bloodline rating.

The advantage is that he doesn't have to live in fear of being demoted or even fired, but the disadvantage is that too many people are witnessing it, and he has absolutely no time to hide or even buffer.

Lu Mingfei put down his chopsticks. There was still a little more than half of the plain noodles left in his bowl, but the professor's rambling explanation and the upcoming "stimulating" test from the equipment department completely killed his appetite.

He wiped his mouth and looked up at Professor Guderian:

"Professor, I've finished eating. Let's go now."

Professor Guderian closed the file, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes behind his glasses:
“Okay, let’s go straight to the equipment department. Professor Schneider said this test is crucial, after all, your performance at the Three Gorges last time was, well, somewhat beyond the norm.”

He paused, seemingly considering his words:

“There have been skeptical voices from the board of directors, who believe that your data on the power of words needs to be re-evaluated.”
