Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 109 Angers (4k)

The handsome old man stopped clapping. He was still wearing glasses, but his eyes behind the glasses were golden. He looked Lu Mingfei up and down, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you are worthy of being the son of Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini."

This was a very British-style old man, who looked like an old gentleman who would help ladies on the streets of London. But he spoke Chinese, and his pronunciation was so standard that it made Lu Mingfei ashamed.

"You are... that guest." Lu Mingfei, who was frightened by the three dimensions, opened his mouth. He thought that this should be the American guest that Chu Tianjiao mentioned.

"I think given Chu Tianjiao's misunderstanding of me over the years, he probably won't formally introduce me to you." The old man said with a subtle expression, "I am Hilbert Jean Angers, the teacher of Chu Tianjiao and your parents. I am also the principal of Kassel College and all preparatory classes."

"Hello, Principal." Lu Mingfei said. He didn't expect that such an amazing person would come to the academy that his weird parents and Chu Tianjiao kept silent about.

And... His eyes couldn't help but twitch, and he didn't know what to say. Uncle Chu, are you sure this is the big liar who has deceived you for more than ten years?
"You are really good." Angers looked at him and said, "Chu Tianjiao's daughter had already given me a surprise, but I didn't expect that Lu Lincheng's son could give me a bigger surprise."

He looked Lu Mingfei up and down again, his eyes that had turned golden behind his gold-rimmed glasses showing unspeakable surprise.

Thank you for the compliment... Lu Mingfei also looked at him silently, and then he found through the reflection of his glasses that his own eyes had turned golden at some point.

For some reason, the surroundings became quiet. The entire restaurant was silent. It seemed that there were only Lu Mingfei and Angé who was facing him.

"I also participated in the development of Unit-01. Apart from Vice President Leonardo who designed it, I am probably the person who knows Unit-01 best. Even the equipment department cannot match me in this respect." Ange said, "In a short period of time, the latent dragon bloodline can be stimulated to gain the same power as a real hybrid. Now that the dragon blood has faded and hybrids can no longer awaken normally, this is a very powerful method."

"However, there is a type of people who cannot make Unit-01 work." Angers said to Lu Mingfei with a smile, "They are people like us who are fully awakened hybrids. After all, we don't have hidden bloodlines."

"So that's how it is." Lu Mingfei recalled the researcher's extreme excitement and Ye Sheng's incredible expression after he put on the tights.

"I have been looking for my kind for more than a hundred years," said Ange.

How many years? Lu Mingfei was shocked. A hundred years? The old man looked to be in his sixties or seventies, or at most eighty.

Ange looked at him and smiled faintly: "It seems that your parents didn't tell you that I am over 130 years old and I am a brother of your great-great-grandfather. In your current terms, we are half-brothers. If you want, it's no problem for you to call me great-great-grandfather."

Lu Mingfei was shocked. He had never even seen his grandfather or great-grandfather, so how could he know who his great-great-grandfather was?

"As for the rest, let's talk about it after we get to the dinner table." Angé raised his head and looked around. "Please be considerate of an old man over a hundred years old. It's tiring for me to maintain time zero."

At time zero, the old man's words made Lu Mingfei suddenly remember what the strange feeling was. He turned back to look at Chu Yuwei and found that the elder sister was still in shock. His kiss on the hand might have had some impact on the elder sister, but it was not to the extent that she was still stunned.

Her time, or rather time in the entire restaurant, was slowed down.

The band on the dance floor kept playing the last moment of the song, and there was still intoxication in their eyes, as if they were still immersed in the afterglow of the music. The waiter on the side of the dance floor was about to applaud the dance that was completed on the dance floor, but the surprised expression on his face froze, as if he had also paused.

"Time Zero is the same as Setsuna, both are words that control speed. But Setsuna acts on itself, while Time Zero can control an area." Ange smiled at him and said, "Forgive me for meeting you under such circumstances. From the moment you noticed my presence just now, I knew you have similar abilities to mine."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and the slowed down time suddenly resumed. All the disappeared sounds were restored, and the paused applause also started again.

"You..." Chu Yuwei's voice came. The surprise on her pretty face had not disappeared. She looked at Lu Mingfei with her mouth half open, and her hand was still held by him.

Then, she noticed the sudden appearance of gold in Lu Mingfei's eyes, and the old man who suddenly appeared at the edge of the dance floor.

The golden color in his eyes gradually dimmed, and Lu Mingfei came out of his momentary state. He greeted the people around him who were applauding, and pulled the still dazed Chu Yuzhen out of the dance floor: "Let's go, the guests are here."

Lu Mingfei was somewhat relieved. It seemed that time had been slowed down when he kissed the sister's hand. This was good, otherwise he would have been so embarrassed that he would have had to jump off the roof of the Regent Hotel.

"Thank you, just give me a pudding and a cup of black tea. The doctor said I need to pay attention to my teeth recently." Angers said to the waiter with a smile.

The waiter left after being thanked by the old gentleman. Lu Mingfei smiled with Ange on the surface, but rolled his eyes in his heart. Hey, uncle, you are over a hundred years old, take care of your teeth.

As if he knew what he was laughing at, Ange shrugged slightly and said, "You know, for an old man who has experienced two world wars, a little hobby of eating desserts is nothing. Compared with my other old friend who only knows how to drink and read underage magazines, this is already very healthy."

"This is really... a very unique hobby." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but twitching his eyes. What kind of person is this!
Ange shook his head. "You have to know that he should bear at least 80% of the responsibility for the academy's bad reputation, and the remaining 20% ​​belongs to the Equipment Department."

Lu Mingfei had seen the people from the Equipment Department, including the researchers who were debugging Unit-01. The reason why he was so impressed by them was because Chu Tianjiao, who seemed to have the highest status among the group, was speechless after being confronted by the researchers.

Chu Yuwei sat quietly like Lu Mingfei. She was naturally quite curious about her father's teacher and the principal of the academy. She was curious why this seemingly gentle old man would let Chu Tianjiao talk about such a big lie for more than ten years.

"Then I'll ask straight to the point." Lu Mingfei suddenly said. Chu Yuyi looked at him with some surprise in her eyes. She knew that Lu Mingfei was never a proactive person.

"Since you have such powerful abilities, why do your students still have a lot of misunderstandings about you?" Lu Mingfei glanced at Chu Yuyi and said, "My parents and her father both have some inexplicable and subtle attitudes towards your academy."

It's more than just subtle. Chu Tianjiao's attitude, which allows him to pay attention to him if he wants to, or just leave if he doesn't, seems to indicate that he has a lot of resentment towards that academy.

"About this question..." Angers took a sip of the tea and said, "First, their majors are different. Your parents are more theoretical, while Chu Tianjiao is more practical. The knowledge they received during their studies is different, so their understanding of the things we have to face is naturally different."

He looked at Lu Mingfei and said, "The knowledge your parents have been exposed to is more systematic and complex, so they don't have the energy to argue with me before they figure out whether those creatures are reasonable. The practical Chu Tianjiao is the opposite. He just accepts my orders to find them. As for where to find them and how to find them, I'm sorry, I can only help you."

Lu Mingfei’s eyes twitched. It seemed that Uncle Chu’s resentment towards him was not groundless.

"Secondly..." Angers did not answer, but looked straight at Lu Mingfei and asked, "If you hadn't discovered us, and then found out that you were the only one with that kind of power in the crowd, what would you choose to do?"

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, but said nothing. He had guessed at the beginning that there might be a companion, and then he saw Chu Yumei setting fire to a street. At that time, he was only thinking about how to meet this sister without being embarrassed, so he didn't have the energy to think about these things.

The pudding was served, but Ange was not in a hurry to eat it. He looked at Lu Mingfei and Chu Yuwei and said like a teacher preparing for class: "Do you know Tasmanians?"

"You mean, Chugnini?" Chu Yuwei asked.

Anger nodded: "Yes, it's her, the last Tasmanian in the world."

"As far as I know, there should be other people after her, right?" Chu Yuwei said doubtfully.

"No." Ange looked at her and answered, "In my opinion, from the moment her body was dug up and hung in the museum, the dignity and history of the Tasmanians were hung in the museum and declared dead."

The atmosphere seemed a bit solemn. Lu Mingfei, a former poor student, raised his hand slightly: "Can anyone tell me what these Tasmanians are?"

Chu Yuwei was silent for a moment, and then said to him, "Tasmanians, the aboriginal people of Tasmania, Australia, disappeared in the 19th century due to the invasion of British colonists."

She continued: "Trugannini was once mistakenly believed to be the last pure-blooded Tasmanian. She left a message before her death, hoping to be cremated and her ashes scattered into the strait. But in the end, she was buried in an abandoned factory. Two years later, her body was dug up, made into a specimen, and hung in a museum for curious white people to visit."

Lu Mingfei suddenly didn’t know what to say: “…As expected of a colonist at the bottom of the human race.”

"Although I am also British, that was a thing of the past." Ange's expression was a little subtle, and he continued, "I have seen too many things in the past hundred years. I have seen the bright side of human nature, and I have also seen the dark side of human nature. I trust humans, but I am also wary of them."

Ange looked at Lu Mingfei, his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses were so vicissitudes: "I don't dare to gamble, I don't dare to try to see what humans will do when they know that there are other extremely small and powerful ethnic groups in their group."

Lu Mingfei remained silent. He did not think too much about the various traps set up in that broken plan. The difference in experience between the two of them was too great.

"But things are different now." Ange said, "The counterattack of the old era has begun, and the dragon blood that has been dormant for a long time has begun to become active. There are even outstanding students like Chu Yuwei who are infinitely close to awakening."

Lu Mingfei glanced at Chu Yuzhen. This sister's data was still the same as her three measurements. It would only change after she put on the Unit 0. However, his experience told him that this sister's usual attack, defense and agility data might be the same as Chu Tianjiao's, all 100.

"What surprises me even more is your existence." Angers looked at Lu Mingfei happily and said, "Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini are among my best students. I think their offspring will also be very outstanding."

Ange's praise and burning gaze made Lu Mingfei feel a little embarrassed, and then Ange didn't say anything else and concentrated on enjoying the pudding. Facing Lu Mingfei and Chu Yu's doubtful eyes that they shouldn't continue talking, he said that they were still students and shouldn't know too many heavy topics.

So, from then on, their interactions became like an old grandfather taking his two grandchildren out to play, understanding their daily life or study difficulties, and giving them some advice. Lu Mingfei was shocked. This scary old man who was 1,000 in three dimensions was actually a great educator! Anyway, he, a former poor student, was stunned by what the old man said.

Ange left after eating the pudding. He lived in the VIP box on the top floor of the Regent Hotel. He went downstairs to have a meal, leaving Lu Mingfei and Chu Yuwei looking at each other in bewilderment.

Lu Mingfei originally thought that the old man was here to recruit him, as he himself said that there were very few awakened people of his kind, and he had spent more than a hundred years searching for them. However, apart from showing surprise at his existence at the beginning, Ange did not tell him anything like whether he planned to transfer to another school.

This made him confused, and Renata's attitude in the other group was also somewhat confusing. She said nothing about asking him to choose between them, and then she moved to the opposite side of his house as if she was afraid that he would run away.

There are many ways to make trouble disappear, just don't think about it. Lu Mingfei thought to himself that the world is big, and eating is the biggest thing. He picked up the menu on the table. Ange just said that this meal is on his head. He himself said that he is the brother of his great-great-grandfather, so why should Lu Mingfei, the grandson, be polite.

Chu Yuwei looked at Lu Mingfei silently, gently stroking the back of the hand that he had just held.

　Caught up...
