I found a good job, and I have a great reputation at school. I have no worries and live a carefree and happy life every day.
However, she wasn't really a carefree, happy girl; the more happiness she pretended to have, the more miserable she became.
She could have been really happy.
This false happiness was like candied fruit laced with arsenic to her. The better her life as an individual was, the more painful it was for her as a dragon...
Fenrir is still in the capital; it should have finished all the treats I bought for it before...
The melancholy Xia Mi spent the whole night in sorrow.
It wasn't that she had figured it out, but rather that dawn had broken.
Xia Mi ate her breakfast with a fierce gusto.
After finishing her meal, the energetic and beautiful young girl happily headed to school.
Greet today with a bright smile.
Chapter 82 Objective: To Devour the Serpent Clan! (Bonus Chapter)
The system didn't make many other attempts with Sakurai Akira. The most important thing right now was to use the alchemical matrix technology to control the bloodline of the dangerous hybrid.
If this one is successful, there will be no shortage of living materials for the future.
According to Akira Sakurai, there are hundreds of school staff and students like him at his school...
The best candidates for treatment are young people like Akira Sakurai, aged 18-25. They already possess sufficiently developed self-awareness, but they still have a very, very long time before their 40-year probation period ends…
They would give everything for the freedom they crave.
So the system went to Su Enxi to inquire about the situation in Japan. It also wanted to discuss the operation with Su Enxi, just in case they had any other plans and ended up clashing with each other.
"You mean the actions performed on Sakurai Akira can be replicated, so you want to go and liberate the dangerous hybrids being kept by the Snake-Headed Eight Family? Hmm..."
Su Enxi paused for a moment after saying this.
"Is there a problem?" The system's analysis indicated something was amiss; why should they remain silent?
The world is full of dangerous hybrids, and all the major hybrid factions are having a huge headache because of them. Killing them directly is disheartening, since everyone has brothers, sisters, or offspring.
Since treatment is unaffordable, the only option is to manage the animals using relatively humane methods, such as the centralized rearing of the Snake-Headed Eight Families...
He went to treat those dangerous hybrids, and those forces needed to be wary of him, fearing that he would rise to power and join the ranks of those vying for a share of the spoils.
After all, no one can say that their descendants' bloodline will remain stable indefinitely. In this respect, Lu Mingfei's side is still very attractive. With core competitiveness in hand, he is indeed worthy of the fear of other mixed-race forces.
The system did not intend to make a big show of it, but instead wanted to secretly recruit a group of loyal young dangerous hybrids to solidify its own foundation.
Since we can't make money domestically, and it's easy to cause trouble right under someone else's nose, we can only make money overseas. Luckily, we have Akira Sakurai to guide us in Japan.
Healing the Japanese native Akira Sakurai made it easier to gain the trust of those dangerous mixed-race people.
All I can say is that the future looks very bright!
After thinking for a moment, Su Enxi said, "If you're going to stir up trouble in the mixed-race world of Japan, I suggest you think carefully."
On the surface, all the mixed-race people in the world have similar bloodlines, all coming from the four thrones and four lineages.
However, as far as I know, his Japanese mixed-race heritage has some issues.
【……? ……】
After analyzing the possibilities, the system asked, "Hmm? What's the problem? Could it be that the bloodline of the Snake Clan isn't below the Four Thrones?"
Su Enxi wasn't saying that the Snake Clan had a problem, but rather that the Snake Clan's bloodline was problematic, which is quite subtle.
As a powerful force, the Snake Clan is likely to be internally complex, with numerous factions. With so many people within the force, each with their own ideas, problems are bound to arise.
However… Su Enxi said that the bloodline of the Snake Clan is problematic, and she also pointed out that the bloodlines of the other hybrids come from the Four Thrones… This is very strange. Could it be that the bloodline of the Snake Clan is not from the Four Thrones?
Su Enxi nodded gently in response to the system's question.
【……? ……】
[...Excluding the four thrones and their four lineages, if there are no other royal bloodlines, then only two royal bloodlines remain: the White King and the Black King!...]
Lu Mingfei was surprised when he saw the system analysis.
His first reaction was that the Japanese side belonged to the Black King faction. If it weren't for the system analysis, he would have forgotten that there was a nearly forgotten monarch in the Dragon Clan Dynasty—the White King.
The White Queen was only mentioned briefly in all the books about dragons he had read; all he knew was that she was once the White-Robed High Priestess of the Dragon Clan Dynasty, and was later put to death by the Black King.
It's all just a single sentence, and there's no record in any book of the existence of a hybrid race with the White King bloodline.
"White King? Or Black King?" the system asked.
“White King,” Su Enxi said.
Upon receiving the answer, Lu Mingfei immediately thought of the long-legged girl in the three-woman team.
There's a reason why Su Enxi and Ling call Jiu De Mai "long-legged." Although Jiu De Mai often likes to wear long skirts, she did show off her long legs to Lu Mingfei when they stayed together at the hotel before.
They have a natural advantage in height, with long legs that make up a large proportion of their height...
He told the system, "That Mai Shude isn't..."
"Is Mai Shude of the White King lineage?" the system asked Su Enxi, frowning.
“That’s right.” Su Enxi nodded. “So the situation in Japan is a bit delicate. If you’re going to go there and stir up trouble, I can only advise you to be cautious.”
She hadn't yet explained the reason for her caution, but the already dark system immediately analyzed it and figured it out:
"Because there is no common knowledge in the mixed-race world that the Snake-Headed Eight Families are of the White King lineage."
If in ancient times, the arduous journeys and Japan's isolated location at sea made it difficult for news to spread, then in modern society over the past 200 years, at least after the Black Ships incident, the fact that Japan has mixed-race people would have become known.
If the news didn't spread, there's only one possibility: the Snake Clan deliberately concealed the fact that they were of the White King's bloodline.
So there might be something wrong with the White King's bloodline? That's why the Snake Clan chose to cover it up so tightly.
"Yes, your analysis is correct."
Su Enxi nodded and said, "So if you want to go to Japan to rescue people, you may encounter very heavy obstacles."
At the very least, the Snake Clan, who don't want to expose the White King's bloodline to the world's mixed-race population, will definitely try their best to stop your actions. You might end up causing a major conflict on the four main islands of Japan.
The system did not immediately respond, but instead said, "Let me think about it."
Su Enxi didn't urge or discourage her; she simply sipped her tea and waited for a reply.
After analyzing for a moment, the system asked, "Do you know why the Snake-Headed Eight Families are trying to cover this up?"
Su Enxi nodded and said, "I roughly know one possibility—the White King's bloodline is very unstable."
Their bloodline is far more dangerous than that of the four royal lineages. Their bloodline is inherently purer and more concentrated than that of ordinary hybrids.
Like her long legs, despite her seemingly nonchalant demeanor, if the standards for safe hybrid bloodlines were strictly enforced, she would be a potential half-dangerous hybrid.
"But that shouldn't be the biggest reason."
The system said, "If it were just this one point, the Snake Clan shouldn't have kept this news so tightly under wraps."
"I don't know the rest." Su Enxi shook her head. It wasn't that she couldn't say anything, but that was really all she knew.
Most of the information came from Long Legs; otherwise, how could the news that the Snake Clan was so tightly guarded be so easily discovered?
"Okay, I'll think about it when I get back."
In fact, the system analysis revealed an even bigger goal: to swallow up the entire Serpent Clan!
However, this goal is somewhat difficult to achieve...
Chapter 83 Shocked Xia Mi
The idea of swallowing up the Hebi-Hachi family is a very bold one, because the Hebi-Hachi family occupies the four main islands of Japan and is not a pushover that can be easily manipulated.
The system dared to make this assumption because the bloodline defect of the Snake Clan provided this opportunity.
If the proportion of dangerous hybrids among the Snake Clan's hybrids is high, then the core technology that Lu Mingfei possesses will be an irresistible lure for them.
It's called bait because Lu Mingfei might also be captured by the Snake Clan and used as a tool... The weak and vulnerable Lu Mingfei is too easily countered, and the balance of offense and defense can shift in an instant.
"The foothold is still too small..." Lu Mingfei sighed inwardly after reading the system's analysis.
The system didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this; in its analysis, time was always a crucial factor: "[...Everything takes time, unless you trade with 'Lu Mingze' for a quick fix...]"
In the system analysis, no one denies the power of the little devil. Living alchemy, which seemed so close before, turned out to be like the sun in the sky—unattainable—once truly mastered.
Without instruction or technical guidance, relying solely on systematic analysis and speculation to gradually learn through trial and error would take at least several months to even grasp the basics. Even after mastering the basics, there's still the functional matrix to explore and learn…
The little devil's casual offer to new customers saved the system at least a year of trial and error.
“Lu Mingze…” When talking about that little devil, Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, but then quickly gave up.
Who knows what that charlatan is up to? Having a hosting system is enough; being down-to-earth is better than anything else.
"What about the Snake Clan?" Lu Mingfei asked the system.
I thought the Snake-Headed Eight Families were just a normal mixed-blood faction, and that it would be fine for them to run away after making some money. But it turns out that the Snake-Headed Eight Families have a big one behind them.
[...We can first gather information about the specific situation of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, and then act when the time is right...]
Faced with the current situation, the system can only abandon the idea of immediately rushing over to grab people and salvage the situation.
However, the fact that we dare not take action against the dangerous hybrids of the Snake-Headed Eight Families at the moment does not mean that we cannot observe the situation of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.
What if the Snake Clan's own management is chaotic, thus giving them an opportunity?
"The only thing we need to determine now is when we'll go to Japan."
Lu Mingfei calculated the time: he was going to Shanghai with Xia Mi for the three-day New Year's Day holiday, and school wouldn't start for another month after New Year's... This schedule was good, and it also took time to process his passport...
Using a passport for legitimate entry and exit can easily leave a trace, granting others leverage over your personal information...
The system analysis revealed the flaws in Lu Mingfei's ideas.
Going to Japan is about causing trouble, not tourism. Why do we need passports and proper entry and exit documents? Are we waiting for them to come and break down our doors in the middle of the night to retaliate?
"That's true, what about smuggling?"
Lu Mingfei recalled the method Sakurai Akira had used to get to them.
[…Smuggling by sea is risky…but I need to make sure I get through New Year’s Day safely with Xia Mi first…]
