Dragon Raja's Number One Player

Chapter 161 Another Request

As soon as he finished speaking, the players "One Slash Cuts Water" and "Blue Dream Sky" exchanged puzzled glances, and they all saw surprise on each other's faces.

No, what's wrong with Lu Mingfei?

Is this still Lu Mingfei?

That's not how it's described in the original story.

You should usually be submissive and wait until Lu Mingze needs you before you step in.

In the original novel, although Lu Mingfei always played the role of savior, he was always forced into a desperate situation and had no other choice but to do so.

Just like the death of Erii in Dragon Raja 3, it's fair to say that they didn't help her in her time of need.

The most ridiculous thing is that they said no, but the transaction still went through later.

That scene infuriated "One-Cut Water" and the others; they wished they could take his place.

What's going on here? Why did Lu Mingfei suddenly change his personality?

"It must be related to a big shot."

He said it with absolute certainty, like "cutting water with a single stroke."

"Why do you say that? Do you know something about it?"

Lan Mengtian looked at him suspiciously. He knew that Yidao Duanshui and Lin Zhiying were close, so it was normal for him to know some inside information in advance.

Then he discovered that "five-second hand speed" was also using the puzzling "one-cut water".

Is that so? How come I didn't know? The expert didn't tell me. "Five seconds of hand speed," I thought to myself.

"I don't know, but I just feel like anything that doesn't make sense can be attributed to him."

"One Cut Cuts Water" touched his hair and gave an awkward smile, his tone firm.

Lan Mengyuan listened to his words speechlessly. If you don't know something, don't act all mysterious.

However, he had to admit that there was some truth to the saying "cutting water with a single stroke".

Because Lin Zhiying's performance, whether in City A or at Kassel College, was so outstanding that it defied conventional wisdom.

On the podium, Angers remained silent, pondering and weighing the pros and cons in a brief moment.

He certainly didn't feel sorry for Lu Mingfei. A person who can use himself as a knife wouldn't feel sorry for any suitable tool.

However, according to his original plan, he would not let Lu Mingfei go this time; he wanted him to wait a little longer.

After all, as an entity capable of truly killing dragons, it was a last resort.

Are you really sure?

Having reached a conclusion, Angers asked.

"Actually—I'm not that sure either."

Lu Mingfei originally wanted to say that his courage had been used up when he stood up, and now he should obediently admit defeat and hand over the stage to others.

A true man is one who can bend and stretch.

But when he caught a glimpse of Lin Zhiying still standing there out of the corner of his eye, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him, a mixture of negative jealousy and positive encouragement, prompting him to speak: "I'm sure."

Upon hearing this, Angers, standing on the podium, glanced at Lu Mingfei, then looked intently at Lin Zhiying.

"Alright, I grant your request."

"And I also agree to your request, Lin Zhiying."

It's not surprising that Angers would produce such a result.

Lu Mingfei was one of the must-go candidates to go, and now that he has volunteered, there is no reason for Angers to refuse.

However, it would be unreasonable to send Lu Mingfei but not Lin Zhiying, who is also a freshman, to participate in the Dragon Slaying event.

Thus, this outcome came about, which was not unexpected for Lin Zhiying. This was his goal, but his peripheral vision briefly crossed with "One Cut Cuts Water," and he saw envy in it.

Being able to participate in the game's storyline in advance is the dream of countless players, while they can only listen to the story unfold afterward.

"As the saying goes, a fine sword is forged through tempering, which means that S-class bloodlines need to be tempered to become unpolished gems. It would be good for you to go to the front lines and witness the blood and fire."

Angers said slowly.

Am I really going to slay the dragon?

Lu Mingfei felt a little uneasy as he sat back down in his seat.

Although he had decided to go to the front lines, to be honest, he had never seen what dragons actually looked like.

Is it like a Western dragon, or like the previous "Odin"?

----------------

If it's "Odin," Lu Mingfei felt that it wasn't a dragon, but more like a cosplay patient with some mental issues.

As he spoke, Angers turned around, preparing to continue discussing the details of the dragon-slaying plan.

His gaze swept across the seats below the stage, and he was surprised to find that Lin Zhiying was still standing there, not sitting down even though he had agreed to let him participate in the operation.

"Lin Zhiying, do you have any further questions?"

He has already achieved his goal of participating in the dragon slaying. What other goal could he possibly have?

Lin Zhiying glanced at "One Cut Through Water" and the others, and an idea came to her mind. She slowly said, "Principal, I want to form my own team ahead of time, not just by myself, but also by them."

As Lin Zhiying spoke, he pointed in the direction where "One Cut Cuts Water" and the others were.

Upon hearing this, Lan Mengtian's expression shifted from initial bewilderment at the mention of "cutting water with a single stroke" to overwhelming joy and gratitude.

Lin Zhiying truly hadn't forgotten them; even after he had taken off, he still wanted to take them with him.

"Professor Mans is in charge of this mission; he and his team have been there for quite some time now."

"Without them, who would record my awesome feats?"

Lin Zhiying thought to himself.

As the saying goes, "Returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night." If you go alone, others won't care because they won't know. Therefore, you need to bring a few players with you.

Moreover, having other players present makes it easier to provide cover for Xia Mi.

"Their strength is not as great as yours. Sending them to participate in this dragon slaying now would undoubtedly not be a wise choice."

Angers did not immediately deny it, but instead began to explain.

"Don't worry, you'll be teamed up with other upperclassmen."

Fearing that Lin Zhiying was worried about this, Angers added at the end.

"That's not why."

Lin Zhiying shook his head and said, "The reason I chose them as my teammates is simple: because we ourselves are a miracle."

"Because we will die and rise again."

As Lin Zhiying uttered these words, not a single NPC in the venue was surprised. On the contrary, players like "One Slash Cuts Water" looked astonished. Could this be said so directly?

Judging from the current situation, Lin Zhiying not only spoke up, but the NPCs also showed no surprise whatsoever.

This is their player's trump card or their ultimate command.

In order to involve players in major events, Xuanyu Company did not hide the fact that players would be resurrected; it simply made the matter more plausible.

Just like Lin Zhiying had died in front of Chu Zihang before.

"Principal, you should know that we freshmen have some special characteristics. As long as we pay a certain price, we can be resurrected."

Lin Zhiying spoke up.

"With such inherent advantages, our participation in this dragon-slaying operation will undoubtedly reduce casualties."

He continued to patiently and persuasively add to the points.

"A single stroke can cut through water" and "Dream of Heaven" understood Lin Zhiying's meaning upon hearing this.

From the NPCs' perspective, their mission was to challenge the Dragon King, but from the perspective of players like "One Slash Cuts Water," wasn't this just opening a dungeon and fighting a boss?

This is absolutely a good thing!

The greater the danger, the richer the rewards will be, allowing you to widen the gap between yourself and other players.

Ang nodded; he had indeed heard this claim before.

All the intelligence gathered from various sources could be verified. His original plan was to let them grow for a period of time before sending them out to do those dangerous missions in the "Execution Department".

"Alright, you've convinced me. But quality is more important than quantity. Facing a creature like the Dragon King, we can't rely on sheer numbers. So our numbers are limited, since we only have one ship."

Angers said with a smile.

Lin Zhiying actually convinced Angers, "cutting water with a single stroke," which surprised them. And it wasn't just once, it was twice.

From initially allowing participation to now requiring team formation, Angers, which has always been tough, has repeatedly given in.

"Then I'll team up with them, a three-person team."

Lin Zhiying spoke up.

To be honest, Lin Zhiying didn't understand why, no matter what, a three-person team was always more stable, so why were only two people always sent on missions in the past?

Otherwise, the two star-crossed lovers, Mai and Sheng, wouldn't have died so tragically in the original story. It couldn't be because they were afraid of a love triangle between the three of them.

If I continue writing now that the plot is almost complete, it will feel a bit padded.
