Lu Mingfei is transforming into the final boss.

Chapter 86 Her Pride

Why is it strange that Lu Mingfei would turn the tables on her? This doesn't make sense.

It was clearly Lu Mingfei who seemed very abnormal; no matter how you looked at it, she was quite unusual.

People are always curious about the unknown and things they cannot understand.

Then, driven by instinctual curiosity, we seek the truth, and that's how science continues to progress.

Su Xiaoqiang was in her most immature and eccentric phase, harboring a special and wonderful fantasy about everything unknown.

"Why should I be the one being called weird? Aren't you the weird one?"

She apologized because she felt she had said something offensive and felt guilty, but Lu Mingfei herself didn't seem to care at all and even asked her a question in return, which meant that her guilt only existed for that moment.

Am I strange?

"It's absolutely strange. Putting everything else aside, the golden eyes are obviously off, aren't they? I initially thought it was some kind of colored contact lens, but what kind of colored contact lens can glow?"

Su Xiaoqiang is a rather fashionable girl. She naturally knows about things like colored contact lenses, which can change eye color and also be used as glasses. After all, wearing them makes her look special, and she doesn't have to wear those bulky frames.

As far as she knew, such colored contact lenses did not exist, and as far as she knew, Lu Mingfei did not have the financial resources to play with these new things.

She knew all the wealthy families who studied at Shilan High School, and since Lu Mingfei hadn't transferred from another school, her situation wasn't exactly a secret. She even knew that Lu Mingfei liked to go to internet cafes.

Being beautiful will always attract attention, even if you don't think you are.

"It's not colored contact lenses."

Lu Mingfei smiled faintly and said in the most ordinary voice, "This is the natural color of my eyes."

"What? You think I'm someone you've just met? There's a limit to how much you can treat me like an idiot."

Su Xiaoqiang was furious. What if Lu Mingfei spoke to her in the same urgent tone?

That would make her much more comfortable; arguing with people is her comfort zone anyway.

But Lu Mingfei spoke to her in the most ordinary, everyday tone, making her feel looked down upon.

It was a top-down perspective.

How should I put it?

Is that compassion?

Damn it—how could she have associated that word with her?

This thought made her feel somewhat ashamed.

"But I don't think you're stupid."

Another light and airy sentence.

"I'm just stating my opinion."

Lu Mingfei's smile was very light and faint, with a somewhat inorganic quality.

The atmosphere around her made Su Xiaoqiang feel a little cold.

"wrong----!"

She suddenly realized something, and her tone was anything but gentle.

There's a reason she's described as arrogant; being a spoiled young lady is her public persona.

Given her habit of speaking at full volume, she should have been surrounded by people three or four times over by now, but surprisingly, she wasn't.

It was too quiet because she had been a little angry and hadn't realized what was wrong until now.

She and Lu Mingfei seemed to be trapped in a small world, where everything around them treated them as nothing.

Someone walked up to Su Xiaoqiang, and out of some suspicion, she gently patted that person on the shoulder.

There was no feedback whatsoever; it was eerily calm, as if nothing had happened.

"What is this?!"

Su Xiaoqiang felt as if she had unwittingly stirred up a huge mess.

She was absolutely certain she wasn't dreaming, because there was no need to consider that possibility. If she was dreaming, it meant that nothing had happened, which meant that nothing had ever occurred. Everything she saw was just a worthless fantasy in her sleep.

She felt like the heroine of a fantasy novel often found on bookstore shelves, who inadvertently discovered the reality of the world and ultimately immersed herself in a fantasy world like Harry Potter.

Yes, if we take it as reality, then she is undoubtedly her own Columbus, discovering a new world.

"It's magic, Su."

She gently explained, waving her slender fingers; her golden eyes were captivating.

Lu Mingfei had long been able to control the aura and pressure emanating from her golden eyes. For her, controlling the aura and pressure was just like a light switch; she could turn it on or off as easily as breathing.

"Magic?"

This wasn't a new term for Su Xiaoqiang; after all, magic performances weren't anything new to her.

Having a penchant for fantasy stories, she knew the moment she heard the word that this was definitely not the magic trick she knew.

"Unfortunately, the explanation time is up, because the bell for class is about to ring."

Her voice was soft and cold, and a few seconds after she finished speaking, the preparatory bell rang, like a death knell.

This interrupted Su Xiaoqiang's thirst for exploring the unknown world.

"Then I'll leave early too!"

Su Xiaoqiang shouted.

"Su, what do you want to do?"

The teacher, who had arrived at the classroom early, looked at Su Xiaoqiang with disbelief in her eyes.

Her reputation among teachers wasn't low; high-achieving students were always a treasure in the hands of teachers. However, Su Xiaoqiang's pampered upbringing made her a bit spoiled, putting her in a state of both good and bad.

Su Xiaoqiang has never left class early or skipped class, but almost everyone thinks she would. That's her reputation; it's not surprising.

The key point is that loudly announcing one's early departure in the classroom is what makes it so unbelievable, and what's the difference between that and announcing it in public?

The proud little fairy looked incredulously at Lu Mingfei, who had already picked up her shoulder bag and walked to the door. Her eyes were full of embarrassment and shame. A blush that kept rising from her neck had already stained her earlobes, making her feel ashamed and embarrassed. She could only shout in the direction Lu Mingfei had left.

"The one surnamed Lu!"

Lu Mingfei didn't turn around, but she smiled softly, a reaction that clearly indicated she had seen it.

"What an interesting girl."

She didn't do anything, she just removed Su Xiaoqiang from the whitelist for a while.

She felt she was a bit cunning.

This is her reward for getting up early to clock in, and she's very satisfied with it.

"Hey, you surnamed Lu! Can't you hear me calling you?"

Why is she walking so fast? Su Xiaoqiang felt like he was running and he almost couldn't catch up with Lu Mingfei.

The hurried, breathless voice came from the stairwell until that face reappeared in front of Lu Mingfei.

"What's wrong now?"

Lu Mingfei looked at her with a smile.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you!"

Su Xiaoqiang hadn't caught her breath yet. She was already angry, and the fact that she had run all the way here to catch up with Lu Mingfei made her feel like her heart was beating a little irregularly.

"Yes, maybe we can even access Shilan's campus forum."

"Okay, you're good."

Su Xiaoqiang suddenly felt that Lu Mingfei was very down-to-earth, she even went on the campus forum.

She had forgotten the original Lu Mingfei; what now resided in her heart was a Lu Mingfei she had imagined, a Lu Mingfei that even Lu Mingfei herself did not recognize.

Mysterious and powerful, everything before was just a disguise of the strong. Rather than Lu Mingfei changing overnight, she was more willing to believe that it was just a deceptive disguise.

Is it really okay to talk to me like that?

What's wrong? Because Lu Mingfei's attitude was too kind, she instantly placed the two of them on equal footing.

"I—you—"

Su Xiaoqiang seemed a bit incoherent; she had indeed offended this mysterious person of the same age as her who possessed unknown powers.

"Your attitude is so cute."

Lu Mingfei chuckled softly, then said, "I was just teasing you."

"—No, no, no, if you say that, I'm even more afraid that something bad might suddenly happen to me."

"Then why did you chase after me? Aren't you going to attend class?"

"What you showed me was an unknown power, a supernatural phenomenon! If I missed a few classes, I can make up for it by attending more tutoring classes."

Su Xiaoqiang patted her chest. She was least afraid of academic issues. She could leave the consequences of her publicly announcing that she would leave early and actually doing it to her father. At most, she would act cute and get a scolding. It was nothing compared to the unknown world she longed for.

It's a priority order that doesn't even exist when weighed on the other side of a scale; it's something that everyone can judge.

A statement that leaves people unsure how to respond.

Lu Mingfei also felt indifferent to attending classes, because no one would relearn basic knowledge that they already knew.

Lu Mingfei doesn't need to study, or rather, she doesn't need to study like in a classroom, because all the knowledge on Earth up to 2014 is memorized and engraved in her mind. She is undoubtedly a true "Earth library".

As for why there are no courses from 2014 onwards, it's simply because they're unnecessary and unusable. As for courses from 2014 onwards, she can learn them later if she wants.

Rather than learning what already exists, Lu Mingfei is more interested in developing unknown knowledge.

What kind of unknown situation will arise from combining this world where magic does not exist with magic itself? This is her first task.

"Are you very interested in magic?"

"Very, very interested!"

"I see. Go back to class. If you're really interested, come to this address on Saturday."

Lu Mingfei gently tossed a note over.

Su Xiaoqiang glanced at the address; it was in a rather remote location. Compared to the city center where Shilan was located, the place Lu Mingfei gave was in the suburbs, but she still had questions.

Why does it have to be Saturday?

"Because I haven't moved in yet, you won't find anyone whether you go tonight or tomorrow."

Compared to Chu Tianjiao, Ling's efficiency was significantly higher. When she expressed this idea, she somehow found this haunted house-like villa in some remote corner. The location wasn't particularly remote, about four or five kilometers from the city center, but it was true that there were hardly any people there.
