The Exchange Game Starting with Lu Mingfei

Chapter 111 Details Determine Success or Failure

"You're quite composed." The little devil nodded. "And then, any other questions?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the little devil and asked sincerely, "Do you need your true form to be rescued?"

"You learn first," the little devil said. "When the time comes, you will naturally see me."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow.

That sounds like a pretty big problem.

[I need two pieces of information.] In this world, Huo Yuhao doesn't intend to spend a lot of time and energy cultivating.

No matter how much he cultivates, can he surpass Lu Mingfei, whose access has been granted?

He was unsure, so in the early stages, it was more important to develop Lu Mingfei's own abilities first. His mental strength and ice could only serve as supplementary abilities.

Unless he can elevate these two attributes to the level of authority in a short period of time —

Wait a minute, it seems like it's not impossible to try.

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao suddenly fell into deep thought.

It seems like there's some potential?

However, putting that matter aside for now, Huo Yuhao continued, "I need information about Fingel and Odin."

"Oh?" the little devil asked, his tone slightly raised.

It's normal for Huo Yuhao to want information about Odin, after all, he just learned about the existence of Odin, a potential enemy, from Chu Zihang. According to his analysis, Odin is not someone to be trifled with.

But why would Huo Yuhao pay attention to Fingel?

That guy has already graduated!

"Odin's information is somewhat complicated and will require time to investigate." The little devil agreed to part of it, then asked, "But why do you want Fingel's information?"

"I've reviewed Lu Mingfei's memories from his first encounter with Kassel College to the present at least ten times," Huo Yuhao said. "Fingal is too suspicious."

He always appears at just the right time.

Aside from Professor Guderian and Chen Motong, whom he met during the interview, as well as the long-deceased Jiu Deya and Ye Sheng, the first person Lu Mingfei met during his enrollment in Kassel was Fingel.

A useless eighth-grade senior who repeated four years!

His bloodline grade is A, and it won't be lowered just because he hasn't graduated yet.

The executive department of Kassel College is always understaffed, given the sheer number of dragons, their subspecies, and undead throughout the world.

Fingel is clearly a high-end combatant, but how could he repeat four years at Kassel College?

Does this fit the style of the Kassel College? Obviously not.

This is Fingel's biggest weakness.

Huo Yuhao even suspected that Fingel had been held back a grade so that he could help Lu Mingfei cheat during the entrance exam.

After all, the 3E exam papers are changed every eight years, which is another coincidence.

During the Three Gorges Dam incident, Finger did not directly participate in the frontline operations, but before that, he had already established a good relationship with Lu Mingfei and become one of Lu Mingfei's close friends.

Fingel was not directly involved in the BJ incident, but he provided remote assistance from within the academy.

After Fenrir and Jormungandr died, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang were trapped in the collapsing Nibelungen. A burly man, resembling Finger and wearing a comical KFC paper bag, rescued them.

Meanwhile, Fingel finally graduated in Japan, and coincidentally, his internship was also in Japan, where he successfully reunited with the rest of the college.

Huo Yuhao had mentioned the suspicious points about Fingel to Angers, but Angers denied that Fingel was his informant.

Of course, if Fingel really only serves as a monitor, Huo Yuhao wouldn't care.

But he clearly has other problems.

He decided to cut back on guessing and ask the little devil directly: "That KFC guy in the Nibelungen area of ​​the Beijing subway, is that Fingel?"

Fingel's face could be hidden, and his voice could be faked, but he clearly didn't conceal his physique.

Lu Mingfei had shared a dorm room with Finger for so long, and he had been careless and hadn't paid attention to Finger's figure, but how could Huo Yuhao possibly overlook it?

"I'm not sure," the little devil confessed. "I don't have that much energy to focus on anyone other than my brother."

Huo Yuhao pinched the bridge of his nose.

"You're so strange. Just like I can't understand why Dumbledore never visited Harry's aunt's house after sending him back." Of course, Huo Yuhao had recently been reading world history and knew that during Dumbledore's childhood, the situation for children in England was much more difficult than Harry's.

He probably felt that was already a good life, after all, he wasn't going to clean chimneys at the age of three.

[Before Lu Mingfei developed his spiritual vision, were you unable to contact him?] Huo Yuhao could only guess at this.

Otherwise, Huo Yuhao couldn't understand why someone who cared so much about Lu Mingfei would watch Lu Mingfei suffer so much injustice at his uncle's house.

"That was just a little grievance; for my brother, it was a rare life experience." The little devil laughed, his eyes crinkling, seemingly very happy.

Huo Yuhao: 【————】

Is the little devil feeling smug?

Is it intentional that Lu Mingfei has become like this?

The little devil smiled without saying a word.

Huo Yuhao frowned and pondered.

If that's the case—

He suddenly looked up at the little devil.

The little devil met his gaze calmly.

If Lu Mingfei has nothing, then when he needs help, the only person he can rely on is Little Devil.

What exactly is their contract?

Huo Yuhao wanted to ask, but the little devil anticipated his words: "I won't tell you."

Huo Yuhao then stopped asking.

He's not that tactless.

After all, he really did separate the two brothers who depended on each other for survival.

Their bond was even stronger than the one between him and Tianmeng.

"Get the intelligence out of here as soon as possible. The girls under your command are all very capable," Huo Yuhao said. "If I have the chance, I'd like to ask Boss Su for some business advice."

The knowledge in all aspects of Douluo Continent is currently very backward. Even if Huo Yuhao has an IQ of 180, he might not be able to understand it just by reading books.

Since we have readily available resources and connections, we should make good use of them.

I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to ask Boss Su for help in building a preliminary business model for Douluo Continent.

"Okay." The little devil readily agreed.

Regardless of whether Huo Yuhao had ulterior motives, he wouldn't mind making things convenient for Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao nodded, his thoughts wandering wildly, the topic completely veered off course.

He then returned to the main topic: "Is Lu Mingfei the child of Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini?"

The little devil's expression shifted again.

How come this guy always manages to get to the key points?

It could be said that way.

Huo Yuhao nodded.

Then that's not it.

"Can I understand it this way?" Huo Yuhao asked, "You can only use Lu Mingfei after he leaves the body of 'Zero'? And Lu Mingfei will only be born after he leaves 'Zero'."

After all, Lu Mingfei was born in 1991, the same year the Black Swan Port incident occurred, and "Zero" and Zero escaped.

"That's easy to imagine," the little devil affirmed. "So?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at the little devil's expression but didn't notice anything amiss.

but----

Where are Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini?

"Why do you always focus on those details?" the little devil couldn't help but ask.

Huo Yuhao shrugged: [Details determine success or failure.]

If he hadn't always paid attention to details, how would he have known so many inside stories?

"In an artificial Nibelungen," the little devil said helplessly.

Huo Yuhao understood.

It seems that the little devil is now suffering the same hardships that Lu Mingfei once endured.

Hey, it's just being locked up as experimental subjects, I bet they're used to it by now.

The hybrids are much stronger than I expected.

After reviewing the current situation, Huo Yuhao decided to hurry up and learn alchemy.

This artificial Nibelungen is different from the personal space Huo Yuhao created before. Not only is it large in area, but it can also maintain a complete ecosystem inside, enough for people to live normally in it.

If we had this technology, Douluo Continent could have more non-killable soul beast breeding farms.

Soul beasts, soul rings, soul skills—humans seem to have the advantage, but they are also very restricted.

Moreover, a power system that cannot break through on its own always feels somewhat abnormal.

In cultivation novels, although most cultivators need Foundation Establishment Pills to establish their foundation, those with high enough talent or a good enough environment can achieve this without them.

Foundation Building Pills are an aid, not a necessity.

But are spirit rings a necessity for spirit masters, or something they must seek out from the outside world?

Previously, Huo Yuhao was naive and thought that things had been the same for tens of thousands of years, and that it was only natural for Soul Masters to need Soul Rings to break through.

But now, Huo Yuhao has made a lot of time to read novels.

Why did he discover on his second day in this world that his original world was actually a fictional story?

Then you should learn more about similar works, just in case you can apply your knowledge to other works.

"Let me learn some alchemy first, then we can discuss the allocation of the Dragon Bone Cross," Huo Yuhao said. "As for your pet, it should hatch as soon as possible."

They are at least a fighting force.

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment: [Let's use Lu Mingfei's blood to nourish him.]

Is there any "nutrient" in this world more precious than Lu Mingfei's blood?

of course not.

Therefore, after killing the White King, when his power had not completely disappeared, Huo Yuhao secretly hid some of Lu Mingfei's blood.

The little devil was too lazy to even talk about Huo Yuhao anymore; that guy had so many tricks up his sleeve.

What a mess Huo Yuhao has made of this otherwise great shonen anime!

"Okay." The little devil reluctantly agreed, his face darkening. "But you have to give me all the ones you've been hoarding."

The little devil suddenly became hesitant to leave Lu Mingfei's blood in Huo Yuhao's hands. He was genuinely afraid that Huo Yuhao would use Lu Mingfei's blood to create some kind of monster after learning alchemy.

Huo Yuhao pouted.

It doesn't matter.

If the little devil wants it, just give it to him.

Anyway, he's currently inside Lu Mingfei's body, so we can always find a way to get more blood when needed.

The little devil could guess what Huo Yuhao was thinking just by looking at his face, and glared at him directly.

However, he wouldn't treat Lu Mingfei like a precious gem, and wouldn't let Lu Mingfei get hurt or bleed at all.

How can you slay a dragon without bleeding and getting injured?

Huo Yuhao took Lu Mingfei's blood from his personal space and handed it to the little devil, asking, "Is there anything else?"

The little devil rolled his eyes at Huo Yuhao.

Are they treating him like a tool?

"If you can really find Odin through the smallest clues, our chances of winning will be much better," the little devil reminded him. "Odin isn't like the old guys; He's very strong, and even I'm not entirely confident in my ability to defeat Him."

If Lu Mingfei were to fully awaken, defeating Odin would be effortless, but the little devil was unsure whether Huo Yuhao could fully unlock Lu Mingfei's potential.

"Since Odin has managed to hide until now, he certainly won't use his true identity," Huo Yuhao said. "Odin's other aliases, or even his name reversed—these can all be investigated."

Speaking of this, the little devil actually remembered something.

Do you know about the Hunter website?

Huo Yuhao thought back carefully. He didn't have much of an impression of Lu Mingfei, but it seemed that Old Tang was a bounty hunter from the Hunter website back then.

He infiltrated Kassel College and witnessed Constantine's death because he accepted a mission on the website.

The tragedy of that time... sigh, Huo Yuhao doesn't want to talk about it.

What kind of damned destiny is this!

I control my own life!

This is also why Huo Yuhao was so devastated when he discovered that Tang San might be manipulating his life.

Harmony and love cannot grow in the soil of suspicion and betrayal. The four monarchs of the dragon race were destined for tragedy from the very beginning.

Huo Yuhao sighed: "I don't know much about it, only that it's an information exchange and bounty platform established by a mixed-race group."

The administrator of the Hunter website is named Nido.

Huo Yuhao was taken aback.

This word—isn't it just 0din if you turn it backwards?

He exchanged a glance with the little devil.

"I don't think this is a coincidence," the little devil sneered. "I'll investigate this."

The little devil looked intently at Huo Yuhao.

This guy is actually quite useful as a strategist.

"Since I have nothing else to do, I'll go read a book." Huo Yuhao stretched and did some light exercise.

After all, he hasn't been very active lately. If it weren't for his soul power constantly circulating and nourishing his body, Huo Yuhao would have been suffering from back pain long ago, given how long he's been sitting and reading for over ten hours a day.

Lu Mingfei's physical condition under normal circumstances is indeed quite average.

"Actually, there's something I'm really curious about," the little devil couldn't help but ask before leaving, "Why did you read humanities and social science books first?"

He thought Huo Yuhao would focus on books about science and technology.

"Technology can strengthen a nation, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee good governance," Huo Yuhao said. "Without a sound system, even the most powerful nation will perish."

Of course, this does not apply to Douluo Continent.

In the Douluo Continent, those who possess strength possess the power to speak.

Reform is too difficult.

Putting aside everything else, the people who are truly oppressed are not even Soul Masters. Even if they become Soul Masters, they become beneficiaries, so who would want to harm their own interests?

Okay, even if someone's will awakens and signs of reform emerge, do you think those powerful forces would just stand by and do nothing?

Even if the emerging forces are unstoppable and defeat all the major forces, isn't there still the God Realm above them?

From the very beginning, Huo Yuhao never intended to change the world when he was weak.

He knew that was impossible.

So he wanted to be God, and he wanted to reshape the world from the very top!
