When Tang Yu woke up again, it was almost noon the next morning.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, but there weren't many students in the academy, because today was a special day! After today, the students would have a long summer vacation.
Most students leave Kassel College during the summer vacation to spend a wonderful holiday in their hometowns.
Of course, there are a few exceptions.
For example, Fingel, who is homeless, is as lazy as ever. Even when the sun is high in the sky, he is still sleeping soundly.
Looking at Fingel's rather unseemly sleeping posture, Tang Yu smiled helplessly and reached out to tap on the edge of Fingel's bed.
"Senior brother, dinner's ready!"
These words were like activating Fingel's spell, instantly energizing the guy, whose eyes widened like two light bulbs, almost sparkling.
"Where's lunch?!"
"Lunch my foot! Let's go to the cafeteria for braised pork knuckle later! By the way, today's the first day off. What about you? Are you staying at the college?"
“Of course, your senior brother has nowhere else to go.” Fingel looked around, saw no sign of food, sighed in disappointment, and then crawled back into bed.
"Since you're homeless, I'll take pity on you and let you go on vacation in China, how about it?"
"This isn't a good idea."
"Give me a straight answer, are you going or not? Stop being so indecisive, like a woman." Tang Yu slammed his hand on the table.
Of course, Fingel wasn't buying it at all.
This guy was very cooperative, even going so far as to make a delicate gesture with his fingers and say in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Brother Tang Yu, please let me think about it some more..."
"Fine, fine, I give up!" Fingel's flamboyant state was truly an eyesore. Tang Yu threw down a remark and fled in terror.
"Lu Mingfei should be in the library, let's go look for him," Tang Yu muttered to himself outside the door.
After he closed the door behind him, Fingel was left alone in the dormitory.
At this moment, the guy looked completely different from his usual lazy self, and a hint of sadness flashed deep in his leaden gray eyes.
He pulled a silver tablet from under the covers and tapped it lightly twice with his knuckles.
The tablet emitted a pleasant buzzing sound, and the dark screen slowly lit up, revealing Norma's pale blue image.
She reached out and touched Fingel's unshaven face through the screen, and Fingel cooperated by bringing his face closer to the camera.
“You look so tired, I don’t want to see you like this! If you can, please relax a little…” Norma’s gentle voice came from the speaker.
Fingel remained silent, and a terrifying storm seemed to be brewing in his leaden gray eyes.
After a long while, he sighed softly, his voice barely audible, "How could I possibly relax..." Fingel turned over and suddenly laughed.
He reached out and gently brushed his hand across the void in front of him. In a daze, it seemed that his group of friends who had traveled with him were standing there, quietly watching him.
"Six years! I have never forgotten the conspiracy in the Greenland Sea." Fingel clenched his fist, his voice low and heavy: "I have found some information about the 'Crown Prince,' and it won't be long before I personally tear him to pieces!"

51 Lu Mingfei, heartbroken
Fingel paused, the remaining half of the sentence almost squeezed out between his teeth, brimming with boiling murderous intent.
"I'll show him what hell looks like!"
Looking at this stubborn young man, Norma smiled silently on the screen, "You're still so stubborn, I support you in this! But... don't overwork yourself, I don't want to see you like this."
“You’re under too much pressure right now. Go relax! Give yourself a break,” Norma said softly. “Didn’t Tang Yu invite you to visit China? This is a great option.”
"Since you put it that way, then I'll go." Fingel's tone was so gentle that it was nothing like that of a loser in life, and the guy's face lit up with a sly smile again.
"I can't let my wife worry no matter what! It just so happens that I need to find a channel in China to learn about the 'Crown Prince.' As for our grudge... I will avenge it myself."
“Yes, I believe you.” Norma smiled sweetly. “From the past until now, you have always been someone we can trust.”
"Was it worth it? Maybe." Fingel smiled silently. The accident that occurred in the Greenland Sea would be a shadow that would haunt him for the rest of his life...
He'll never be able to escape it for the rest of his life!
Kassel College, Central Library.
Tang Yu found Lu Mingfei here.
The library doors were made of tempered glass. Through the glass, Tang Yu saw the slumped-over kid on the table. His body was twitching, as if he were crying.
"What's wrong? Did he break up with his girlfriend?" Tang Yu murmured to himself, then pushed open the door, strode forward, and knocked on the table where Lu Mingfei was lying.
Upon hearing the sound, Lu Mingfei was instinctively startled. He hurriedly buried his head deeper, wiped his face haphazardly with his hands, and then raised his head, forcing a smile.
"Oh, it's Ayu. Have you packed your luggage? The flight that will take us back to China is taking off tonight." Lu Mingfei was clearly out of sorts at this moment, and his words were somewhat incoherent.
Tang Yu looked at Lu Mingfei with a half-smile. Only then did he remember the dance party last night.
Near the end, Caesar, dressed in a handsome white suit, proposed to Nono! Amidst the cheers and jeers of the crowd, Nono accepted Caesar's proposal.
Tang Yu knew that Lu Mingfei had always secretly loved Nuonuo, so his current behavior was not surprising.
"Relax, Mingfei!" Tang Yu said with the air of someone who had been there before. "As the saying goes, 'If you swing your hoe well, there's no corner you can't dig down!' You've already joined the student council, so you can try to undermine Caesar."
Tang Yu's outrageous words startled Lu Mingfei instantly.
"This... isn't a good idea! Caesar is my elder brother, and Nono is my sister-in-law. In the martial arts world, this would be a serious offense, requiring three cuts and six holes."
"A guy who's all talk and no action." Tang Yu's tone was very disdainful, but seeing Lu Mingfei's long face, Tang Yu softened and gently comforted him.
"Mingfei, let me tell you a little secret: you're not entirely without a chance if you want to pursue Nuonuo!"
"My lord, what do you mean by this?" Lu Mingfei blurted out meaningless nonsense.
"Don't you know? High-bloodline hybrids can't just marry each other! If something unexpected happens, it might give birth to a half-dead servant with a bloodline concentration that's seriously excessive." Tang Yu's expression was very serious.
"Both Caesar and Nono have an A bloodline rating. If they want to get married, they must obtain the joint approval of the school board and the principal."
……
"Oh no, I accidentally let it slip!" Tang Yu immediately regretted it as soon as he said it.
He forgot the most important detail: this seemingly unremarkable kid in front of him had a bloodline rating of "S," one in a million. Even Caesar, who had an "A," faced numerous difficulties in marrying Nono.
Then Lu Mingfei's "S" is absolutely out of the question!
As expected, after hearing Tang Yu's words, Lu Mingfei's previously expectant eyes instantly dimmed.
"Oh... does that mean I have no chance with Nuonuo?" Lu Mingfei said in a self-deprecating tone.
Tang Yu's brain was working at high speed. He was thinking of a way to make amends, after all, he came to comfort Lu Mingfei, not to upset him.
"Actually, it's not entirely hopeless," Tang Yu said softly. "Even if you get married, you don't necessarily have to have children! Aren't DINK (Double Income No Kids) families all the rage these days? Take it easy, don't always look so gloomy. Smile more, maybe Nuonuo likes boys who smile a lot?"
Lu Mingfei could easily tell that Tang Yu was trying to comfort him. He forced a smile and then walked out of the library, looking dejected.
It seems the unlucky kid won't be able to get over his heartbreak in the next few days.
That evening, at Chicago International Airport.
The four students from Kassel College, dressed in black trench coats and dragging suitcases, sat in a row in the waiting area.
Lu Mingfei's eyes were lifeless, his face was pale, and he looked very sad; Tang Yu, on the other hand, gave the impression of having nothing to do, playing Tetris on his phone.
Beside Tang Yu, Fengou opened its blood-red maw and stuffed a large hamburger into its mouth, letting out a satisfied groan; Chu Zihang, on the other hand, was still like a medieval ascetic, engrossed in studying an obscure academic book.
Fingel ultimately decided to go on vacation to China with Tang Yu. Coincidentally, Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei had the same destination as Tang Yu, so they also agreed to return to China together.
The flight was scheduled for 9 p.m. Tang Yu raised his wrist to look at his watch, and the hands were almost pointing to the 10 p.m. mark.
The flight is delayed!
"Sure enough, capitalism is unreliable! Flight delays are as commonplace as eating and drinking, without even a notification..." Tang Yu muttered in dissatisfaction, and Fen Gou next to him chimed in.
"I heard that employees of the Chicago Aviation Authority are staging a protest. Looks like we're not going to be able to leave today." Fingel typed on the keyboard, bringing up the Chicago evening news.
The image shows workers in various uniforms confronting police officers in professional riot gear.
The wait was always long. Lu Mingfei was still lost in thought, while Fingel had finished his hamburger and was idly playing with his nails. Tang Yu's phone battery was also below the warning line and was about to shut down. Chu Zihang was still engrossed in his book like a marble statue.
A boredom permeated the atmosphere among the four.
Snapped……
Chu Zihang, who was as still as a statue, suddenly closed the book in his hand. He adjusted his daily disposable contact lenses and then stared intently at Tang Yu, his expression filled with a hint of inquiry.

52 Familiar Taste
"Tang Yu, can you tell us what the Dragon Slaying Team experienced in Bronze City?"
Chu Zihang paused for a moment, then said, "I heard that something went wrong during that mission, and the academy even thought you had sacrificed yourself inside."
"This...can I say?" Tang Yu asked tentatively. "Shouldn't missions involving the Dragon King be subject to confidentiality regulations? Don't try to trick me! Professor Schneider's tea isn't pleasant."
"Don't worry, junior brother, how could we possibly cheat you?" On the other side, Fingel, slumped in his chair like a lump of mud, spoke lazily.
"The Bronze City mission isn't very confidential. You can just talk about what you can, and no one will bother you. Just treat it as passing the time."
"After all, you are a hero who faced the King of Bronze and Fire and escaped alive! You have a great deal of authority as long as it does not involve matters of principle."
Fingel showered Tang Yu with compliments, and Tang Yu felt his face burning!
"Face the Dragon King my ass!" Tang Yu roared inwardly. If it weren't for the old man's cheat code arriving at the crucial moment, and the fact that the King of Bronze and Fire, Constantine, was still a dragon egg, Tang Yu would have at least lost an arm or a leg!
Chinese people are inherently prone to boasting, and when faced with such a boring moment, Tang Yu simply opened his mouth and started rambling.
Tang Yu, who has written several novels, has an amazing ability to talk. He managed to turn a scientific dragon-slaying mission into a thrilling tomb raiding story!
More importantly, the other three people actually believed it.
Everything that came out of Tang Yu's mouth left them completely stunned...
Time flew by as the group chatted and joked around.
It was already past midnight, and it wasn't realistic to go out and find a hotel at this time, so the group simply set up a makeshift bed on the floor in the waiting area and prepared to wait until the next morning.
It's the height of summer, and even at night the temperature isn't too low. The group of people spent the night comfortably in the waiting area with the air conditioning on.
The long-delayed flight finally arrived at around 10 a.m. the next day.
With a piercing noise, the flight wobbled and lifted off the ground, breaking through the clouds that shrouded Chicago.
Looking at the churning sea of clouds outside the plane, Tang Yu felt a strange sensation welling up inside him! After being away from his hometown for more than three months, he, Tang Yu, was finally back!
