Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 71 Dawn (Part 3)
Lu Mingfei turned around and saw Nuonuo standing under the treetops with a smile on her face. She was wearing a moon-white silk shirt and a high-waisted dark tulle skirt dotted with stars. She didn't have too many decorations except for a purple crystal necklace. Her dark red hair was neatly combed and fixed with a silver princess crown hairpin. She was different from her usual flamboyant appearance and was elegant like a scholarly lady in a European garden.
"Wow!" Nuo Nuo's eyes lit up when she saw Lu Mingfei dressed up. "She's pretty! She'll be Cinderella after a little dressing up. Why did she always look so unfashionable in high school?"
"How can a poor kid have time to dress up? High school teachers are eager to pry open your brain and stuff the test paper in it. They won't allow anyone to be unique." Lu Mingfei pouted, "You haven't seen what I looked like when I was in high school!"
"Even your measurements have been revealed on the forum, do you think they can't find photos of you in high school?" Nono shrugged, "It's just big black-framed glasses and two braids. I've done that before. Apart from being a little skinny, your body data is pretty good. Keep it up, I'm counting on you!"
"I knew that guy is unreliable!" Lu Mingfei gritted her teeth. Compared with his few good functions, Finkel's greatest specialty should be paparazzi. If you believe that he can keep the secret, you will be in big trouble.
"Do you need me to help your princess into the house?" Nuonuo tilted her head slightly to look at Lu Mingfei. Such a beautiful girl would be liked by people everywhere, but tonight's dance was an exception. Lu Mingfei didn't know what Caesar was up to at the moment, so Nuonuo was wondering whether she should give Lu Mingfei a tip in advance.
"I can walk by myself." Lu Mingfei straightened her back immediately and tried to lift her not-so-proud chest high. "Isn't it just pretend? We played it together in the cinema!"
"Very good, then you keep going, Senior Sister, I will go ahead and wait for you!"
Nuonuo skipped into the main entrance of Amber Hall. God knows how she managed to walk like that in high heels.
Lu Mingfei was alone in the empty room under the treetops. She began to regret not taking Nuonuo's arm and saying, "Sister, protect me." It would be more reassuring to have someone by her side.
Now that things have come to this, I can only blow myself up.
She couldn't help but think of that classic emoticon package, and felt that she was almost the same as the big-headed face that would shake its head and burst into brilliant fireworks. The strappy high-heeled dance shoes made a clacking sound, and Lu Mingfei strode with her head held high, ready to step into the execution ground. Because of excessive nervousness, she even had a brief phenomenon of simultaneous movement of her hands and feet.
The boy in charge of reception immediately recognized that the creature that looked like a puppet and was walking towards them was Cassel's only designated S-level at the moment. He winked at his companion, and the receptionist girl immediately understood. When Lu Mingfei walked in, she still maintained a standard hospitality smile and took a scented lily from the flower basket and gently inserted it into Lu Mingfei's graceful hair.
This is a good intention. The lily of the field is also known as Casablanca, and its flower language is great love. The student union cadre in charge of welcoming guests certainly doesn't love Lu Mingfei, but these days Lu Mingfei's story has almost become a legend in Kassel. This is their first meeting, and it can be seen that the S-level student is a little nervous, so he gave her this flower, because Casablanca is different from other lily flowers, its petals are pure white without any spots, and it also means pure and proud.
However, Cinderella Lu Mingfei obviously did not understand the meaning of this action. Her knowledge of flowers was limited to not being able to point at a rose and say it was a dandelion.
As a building called a museum, the interior of Amber Museum is indeed like a medieval mansion. The entire first floor is a spacious hall, the floor is made of solid wood with mosaics, the crystal wicks can see the kaleidoscopic brilliance, and there are some abstract paintings on the walls with unknown meanings but exquisite paintings. There are curved staircases leading to the second floor on the left and right sides of the wall. The corridor on the second floor is designed to be suspended above the first floor, which is very suitable as a podium for speeches.
The petty-peasant mentality in Lu Mingfei's heart began to play tricks on her again. Although she was pretty and looked like a distinguished guest, she still felt like an old lady like Liu who would exclaim at every turn when she stood here. This aristocratic and classical student style was not suitable for her. She still preferred the free and happy atmosphere in a fast food restaurant where everyone was a little fool and everyone was talking to each other.
Although it was a dance party in name only, Caesar still prepared a buffet for everyone. The richness of the party soon made Lu Mingfei kneel down under the charm of money. The generous rich second generation prepared an Australian lobster for each person according to the number of people. These big red guys lay on the ice with their backs open, revealing their crystal white meat.
The other participants didn't seem to have any intention of having a good meal. After finishing the first one, Lu Mingfei quickly turned her attention to the other plates, looking left and right like a hamster looking for food. After making sure that no one noticed that she was stealing food, she decisively stacked the empty plate under a plate that had already been cleared, and pretended that nothing had happened, she moved to a new position and started to clean up.
Lu Mingfei always thought that she should be an easy-to-raise girl, because she didn't have many hobbies. As long as she could eat and drink well, she was very satisfied. She was happy to lie on the mattress with her round belly exposed and roll around like a happy little pig.
The princess-like girl had fallen into depravity, completely forgetting that she should have come here with a haughty attitude, boasting that she was an S-rank student and asking Caesar to kneel down and invite her to join the student union. But no matter what, at least she had a good meal and the trip was not in vain!
Just as she was enjoying her meal to the fullest, the microphone on the second floor rang softly, and Caesar, dressed in a formal suit and a rhinestone bow tie, appeared there. He stood in front of the microphone and glanced at everyone below, like an emperor reviewing his army.
"I was actually very disappointed when I came to this college on the first day because there were too many people here," Caesar said coldly.
The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and only the light on the second floor was as bright as before. Lu Mingfei showed half a lobster whisker at the corner of her mouth, and she thought that there must be a lackey who was as good as a theater lighting engineer, helping Caesar create the atmosphere.
"The real elites should certainly not be the majority!" Caesar's eyes were as sharp as a knife. He looked down from above, as if he wanted to cut open everyone's chest to see if this person had an elite heart.
"Thank you all for coming tonight. I am very happy to see the most elite students of Kassel Academy gathered here. I am the guest of Caesar Gattuso." Caesar raised a finger , "They can only be elites!"
After a moment's silence, someone clapped loudly, followed by everyone else. There was excitement in everyone's eyes. It was an honor to be regarded by Caesar as the best among their peers.
Lu Mingfei was also a little flattered. Although this was a broad speech of praise, at least she was included. Ever since she knew Kassel College, everyone said that she was an awesome S-level. She didn't feel that at all. Except for being hung up as a news heroine on the forum and having everyone strip her information, when she walked around the college, no one looked at S-level people like heroes.
"I like to work with excellent people because my time is limited. I cannot tolerate wasting time on unqualified people." Caesar motioned for everyone to be quiet. "From the perspective of people's history, creating a miracle requires the combined power of countless people. To me, Kassel is a miracle. It has undertaken a huge mission, and of course it should also require a group of the best people to gather their strength and make the most powerful voice. Slaying a dragon is never an easy and fun thing. On the contrary, its road ahead is full of thorns and sacrifices. We just lost our precious friend not long ago, but we have no time to grieve. The only choice is to take up arms and continue the path of our predecessors. This is the choice that will not disappoint their hopes."
Caesar whispered, "If you tell others what you are doing, they might think you are crazy and send you to a mental hospital. But the real elites cannot tolerate worldly gazes. Ordinary people cannot understand the way elites think. We are gathered together because of the Blood Sorrow, and we stand under the banner of the Student Union because we are also elites. This club has been silent in the college for too long. It needs an opportunity, an opportunity to show itself in the new era. Someone must be willing to stand up and lead it to soar."
"Who should be such a person?" Caesar asked coldly.
"Caesar!" A little brother in the student union suddenly shouted.
"No, not me, but us! The best... us!"
The doubled applause almost broke Lu Mingfei's eardrums. She finally understood why the Student Union was able to compete with the Lionheart Union in such a short time. Caesar was indeed a natural leader, and he was good at motivating people like an emperor. He was good enough and stupid enough, and he could make the words of a middle school student as dazzling as the sun. In contrast, Chu Zihang was a leader who was not good at speaking. He was better at getting things done without saying a word and speaking with actual results. Maybe Chu Zihang's record would be better than Caesar's, but the guy who can talk is often the center of the crowd, just like when he was a student, there were always a few chatterboxes in the class, and there were always a group of people around him who were keen to listen to him talk about everything.
"The Student Union has always been willing to compete fairly with the Lionheart Union." Caesar continued, "But for me, I actually hope to see elites willing to join the Student Union. I can assure you that here your talents will be fully unleashed, unrestrained, until the sparks burn into the rising sun and spread their brilliance throughout the world."
He scanned the room again. Half of the people here tonight were members of the student union, and the rest were some of the freshmen who had performed well this year. He spent some money to have Finkel get a ranking list of scores for various tests.
Judging from the transcript alone, Lu Mingfei was definitely not the best one. Her physical fitness score was only D, which meant that the skinny-looking girl would probably burst into tears and fall to the ground when faced with a dragon's roar.
But in Kassel Academy, transcripts are not that important. Bloodline is the core factor that determines your level. If you have poor physical fitness and strength, you can practice slowly, but there is no way to improve your bloodline. It is something that is determined at birth.
Even Caesar himself is only of A-class bloodline, he can be proud of it, because there are not many A-class in the whole Cassel, but when an S-class appears, he can no longer be proud, especially when this S-class has defeated him in a sense. Caesar does not think that the black gun is an invalid result. Failure is failure, and only cowards refuse to admit it. The way to win is the good way.
"Lu Mingfei!" Caesar shouted out the name he had been waiting for for a long time. The short speech was meant for Lu Mingfei. Caesar's original intention was that he was a man eager to seek talents, and he hoped to cooperate with these crazy elites regardless of past grudges. If Lu Mingfei was not a fool, she should have heard the meaning of Caesar's invitation.
Lu Mingfei was so startled that she dropped her fork. She looked up and saw Caesar reaching out his hand to her, "Please come up and stand with me."
At this moment, everyone turned to look at Lu Mingfei. She hoped that the weather would be fine and there would be a thunder explosion, so that she could pick up the fork calmly like Liu Xuande and say with a look of awe in heaven, "I'm a little afraid of thunder. I'm really embarrassed."
But the fork had already fallen to the ground, and the way she held the plate was in everyone's sight. When everyone was moved by the elite speeches, she was the only one hiding in the corner to eat secretly. This was not a good behavior, and it would be reported in the news. God knows if Finkel was present at this moment, he was also a member of the student union.
She thought of countless ideas quickly in her mind, but none of them worked. The attention of the crowd was about to pierce her already limited confidence, so she forced out words that she would regret saying.
"I would rather you come down and stand next to me. Boys should be more proactive, right?" She said lightly, slowly put down the plate and stretched out her hand like Caesar, but in her heart she wanted to slap herself twice.
The invited guests actually became the hosts, which was something Caesar had never expected.
