Volume 2 Hello, Xia Mi Chapter 147: Dream of Exile (Part 2)
The hotel's executive suite was a mess, with documents thrown everywhere, several laptops open, a projection of a BJ map on the wall, and colorful fast food packaging. There were two half-eaten family buckets on the table.
With Chu Zihang's style, it's hard to say that a place where he can keep mice as pets would be the room he lives in. However, everything has a priority. For Chu Zihang at this moment, nothing is more important than finding the Dragon King. He has no time to tidy up the room. He has been relying on fast food since he checked into the hotel. He has only had one meal during this period, and that was ordered by Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei was out working at the moment, so Chu Zihang didn't plan to work hard on eating.
There was a knock on the door, and Chu Zihang said, "Come in!" without even turning his head.
Finkel pushed the door open and came in, holding a large cloth bag on each side: "Junior brother, it's time to have a good meal! Your junior sister Lu called me and I'll bring you food!"
He poured the contents of the bag into the few remaining spaces on the table: sweet tofu pudding, two deep-fried dough sticks, Goubuli steamed buns and Yonghe soy milk. This is a classic Chinese breakfast that can be found in breakfast shops all over China. Finkel really knows a lot about it.
Finkel glanced at Chu Zihang's laptop screen. His fingertips flew on the keyboard like a piano. The rapidly refreshing data was dazzling. Chu Zihang didn't even have time to take a look at what he brought.
"Do you need me to feed you, Junior Brother?" Finkel blinked. He had made clear his position in the team from the moment he got off the plane. Lu Mingfei was the nominal leader, but she was not as smart as Chu Zihang. She had to rely on Chu Zihang to be in charge of the central government, while Lu Mingfei was willing to go out for field surveys and run errands. The only one left was him, a burden. If he didn't want to face the Dragon King in person, he had to serve the big guys well.
"No, I've finished it." Chu Zihang hit the enter key, and a huge amount of data was loaded into the mathematical model he had just completed. The projection map on the wall immediately started calculating, presenting countless curves like undulating waves.
"What are you doing?" Finkel didn't understand. "Aren't we here to slay dragons? But you've been tinkering with your computer since you got off the plane, while Lu Mingfei is traveling around the world with her camera. If I didn't know your personality, I would think you were pretending to work but actually being lazy."
"This is a division of labor and cooperation." Chu Zihang said, "If you want to face the Dragon King directly, you must first find him. We don't know what form the King of the Earth and Mountains is living in now. He may be a human like Norton, living a normal life and commuting to get off work every day. Or he may be in some secret place, quietly hatching his huge dragon body until the day of maturity comes."
"The body of a dragon was hatched in this city? Don't be ridiculous, Junior Brother. Where is this? The imperial capital! Although it is large, it has even more people! No land is so desolate that a dragon can grow up silently. The king of the earth and mountains can't be a rat that can dig holes and hide hundreds of meters underground."
"Since he is the master of the earth, this possibility is not impossible." Chu Zihang pointed at the complicated curves on the map with a pencil. "So I got the earthquake data of the city and the surrounding areas since this year through Norma. The awakening of the Dragon King must be accompanied by elemental turbulence, which is something that the Dragon King himself cannot control. It can be big or small, and it cannot be covered up by any means. The representative of the King of the Earth and Mountains is of course the earth element, and the most intuitive manifestation is earthquakes. I established a simple mathematical model to try to lock the common source of the earthquake through these data. If there is a common source of the earthquake, then that is where the King of the Earth and Mountains is hiding."
"Awesome!" Finkel gave a thumbs up. The most amazing thing about Chu Zihang was that he could explain very academic things to people who had never studied it. It was as easy to understand as telling a story Even though Finkel was a liberal arts student, he could tell that this science student's working method was indeed effective and correct.
"Junior brother, you are so wise and brave. It seems that we will be the first group to find the Dragon King." Finkel took out a cup of soy milk and handed it to Chu Zihang. "Have you thought about how to fight? Should we just roll up our sleeves and go in, or call Caesar to come for support? Then they might steal our credit."
“Not necessarily.” Chu Zihang took a quick look and picked up a vegetarian bun accurately. “There are so many hybrids here, and there are some talented people among them. Using modern data is even a stupid method. Some words can directly find people with dragon blood. If the Dragon King is hiding in the crowd, he will probably be discovered in a few days.”
"You just mentioned division of labor and cooperation. Why is Junior Sister running around the world right now?"
"There are a lot of suspected locations locked down through this mathematical model, and someone has to go on the spot to confirm them." Chu Zihang turned on the screen of his mobile phone and transmitted the new information to Lu Mingfei.
"Junior sister, you're working so hard." Finkel sighed, imagining the lonely classmate Xiaolu sweating profusely in the crowded bus, running here and there, so tired that he couldn't even drink a sip of water. He slurped up the tofu pudding in big gulps, wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and felt that his life was complete.
Chu Zihang was silent. He didn't know whether he should remind Lu Mingfei that this kind of physical work of running should be done by another male student in the team, but if Finkel was allowed to do it, Lu Mingfei would have nothing to do to demonstrate her own value. She really wanted to prove herself and didn't want to degenerate like Finkel.
There was a knock on the door, followed by a pinched voice: "Mole Mole, I'm Sweet Potato!"
Finkel stood up and opened the door. Xia Mi poked her head in and took a look: "Wow, it's so messy! Is this the legendary boys' dormitory? Can we keep cockroaches as pets? Please notify those little cuties, I'm afraid I'll accidentally step on them..."
"Why are you here?" Chu Zihang was a little surprised.
"What? Don't you welcome me?" Xia Mi rolled her eyes at him, threw herself on the sofa, and held a bun in her arms. "When the school divided the groups, they didn't have any emotional intelligence! You asked me to be a light bulb between couples 24 hours a day, who can stand it? So I sneaked out and hung out with you guys. Caesar won't mind anyway, he drove out alone early in the morning."
"I totally agree with this!" Finkel nodded vigorously. When fellow villagers met, their eyes were filled with tears. He was also sandwiched between Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, shining a discordant light. Comrade Xia Mi must have felt the same way.
Xia Mi glanced at Chu Zihang's laptop screen, "Earthquake data?"
"There's too much junk data. There are too many factors in the city that affect ground vibrations. It's hard for us to quickly find the only correct answer." Chu Zihang patted the map. "If we just let it wake up, with that level of movement happening in a city like this, no one in the world can hide the news of seeing a dragon."
"You are definitely not the only one who can use this method to find the Dragon King. There are too many social elites among the mixed-bloods, and there are many engineering men." Xia Mi raised her head and swallowed the fried dough sticks whole, like an exquisite snake. "Are you planning to wait here? Don't you want to go out for a walk?"
"Junior sister, what do you mean?" Finkel felt that there was something else behind Xia Mi's words.
"Early in the morning, I asked Caesar if Xin'er had ever considered using earthquake data to hunt down the Dragon King. Caesar smiled disdainfully and said that all the hybrids in the world could think of using earth elements to find the trace of the Dragon King. Only a fool like Chu Zihang would think of competing in the same way as others..." Xia Mi stuck out her tongue, "Then he drove out. It seems that the young master of the Gattuso family has his own way of finding the Dragon King. I suddenly thought of those hybrids from other states. Why should we bother ourselves instead of sending two people to follow them?"
"Great minds think alike!" Finkel had tears in his eyes, and he almost jumped up to hug Xia Mi and pat each other on the back to encourage . "I told them on the plane that they should wait for the oriole behind them when the mantis stalks the cicada! But they just wouldn't listen to my advice!"
"It's not that I haven't considered it, but firstly, we are short of manpower, and secondly, they are not easy targets to track, and it would be very dangerous if we were discovered," said Chu Zihang.
"What are you afraid of? This is our Chinese territory. How can a bunch of foreigners who are unfamiliar with the place compete with us?" Xia Mi sniffed, looking arrogant, "Don't forget where your junior sister and I grew up! Even if I dragged them all into the ditch and they still have to help me count the money!"
Chu Zihang was stunned. He suddenly remembered that Xia Mi's admission information did state that she was from the imperial capital. When it comes to familiarity with this city, perhaps no one can compare with her.
"How about it? Consider it?" Xia Mi nudged Chu Zihang with her shoulder. "You have to take risks to get rich! If you're interested, I can take you to my house to try the dumplings I make by hand. They're so delicious!"
Chu Zihang thought for a while, then turned to look at Finkel: "Brother, can you come and help?"
Finger was enjoying his meal when he suddenly heard someone begging him so earnestly. He scratched his head and said, "You said it's dangerous... why do you still want to go?"
Losers have their own way of dealing with things. For example, when you encounter something, don't run too fast, but let the elite person next to you run first. In this way, you may make less profit when you arrive, but at least you won't fail, because someone has stepped into the trap before you. Those who are impatient and like to be the first to run will most likely be in big trouble.
This is the case with the stalking. If you can imagine it, others can imagine it too. The people in South America are born to kill. They can use any tricks. If you insist on fighting with them, you are just being stubborn! But there are two people who are even more stubborn and confident that they can do anything.
"No matter how we hide, once the traces of the Dragon King appear, we will still meet that group of people. Instead of doing that, it is better to get to know each other from the beginning." Chu Zihang whispered, "Doesn't the academy also require us to be vigilant against these people?"
In fact, he has always been a guy who likes to put his head on his belt, otherwise he wouldn't make such a big fuss every time he goes on a mission. Xia Mi's proposal is very consistent with his style. The so-called worry about danger is never for himself, but for the people around him. But now even she wants to do this, Chu Zihang certainly has no reason to refuse.
"Don't worry, do it boldly, brother. There are special benefits for you!" Xia Mi patted Finkel 's shoulder, "There will be an unlimited supply of pork elbows during the mission!"
"Then..." Finkel looked at this and then at that, "Should I take it?"
"OK!" Xia Mi snapped her fingers, turned her head and suddenly remembered, "Where is Senior Sister Lu?"
"She's probably running around the world following Chu Zihang's news." Finkel said, "Remember to call her and let her know, lest she comes back and doesn't see anyone and thinks we're all missing."
Lu Mingfei got off the crowded bus, feeling her head buzzing, and held onto the bus stop sign to breathe in some fresh air. The hooded fleece sweater, cropped jeans, and pure blue sneakers made her look particularly young, about the same age as the school uniform girl passing by.
The girl who came from a second-tier city in the south had obviously never experienced the power of the capital's buses during rush hour. She felt a little dizzy at the moment and smelled too much sweat on the bus, especially from an old man who just got on with game. That guy was really aggressive and the whole bus was smelled.
Lu Mingfei felt better after taking out a bottle of Nongfu Spring from her bag. She turned on her phone and found that there were only two suspected locations left from Chu Zihang. It was the peak time for the evening shift, so it would be a bit difficult to finish work before dark. It was really tiring to run all day like this, but Lu Mingfei thought it was worth it. This was a division of labor with her senior brother. The woman worked outside and the man worked inside, which made her look more like a reliable strong woman, suitable for marrying home to bring good luck to her husband.
She looked up and saw technology buildings standing on both sides, divided into different parks in an orderly manner. There was a sign outside the security booth at the entrance of the park with a number written on it. The greening in this area was quite good. After walking in, there were poplar trees on both sides overhead.
At the end of the working day, most of the people walking out of the park are men in black dressed in suits and leather shoes who look very elite, or men with their hands in their trouser pockets, chewing bubble gum, taking off their shoes, looking very cool.
Lu Mingfei hasn't officially entered society yet, but there is a science and technology park not far from her aunt's house that is like this. She has seen a lot of them. The former ones who don't have much energy are mostly in sales, and only those with some color are in management. The latter can also be seen in Kase College, that is, the group of technical geeks in the equipment department who love to make bombs. IT geeks all over the world seem to be cast in the same mold, keen on Coke, KFC, and cute anime girls, and especially eager to have a loli fall into their arms one day.
