Chapter 5: Mingfei becomes suspicious after the interview; parents return home after receiving an S-
"There definitely is."
"Oh, is that so?"
Shude Aki calmly remembered what Lu Mingfei said, just like a normal person, and then asked a question.
Why are you so certain?
Because I've already traveled through time and witnessed the will of Heaven, let alone aliens, even if a giant guy suddenly appeared the next second saying he was the Earth Emperor Bai Cinan and then swept across the Earth with his metal arm, he would believe it.
But he knew he couldn't say that. Lu Mingfei didn't really want to be locked up in a mental hospital, so he thought for a moment and then spoke up.
"Uh, Starry Night... Yes! Starry Night! You guys know Starry Night, right?"
Guderian nodded solemnly, as if Lu Mingfei was about to utter a philosophical statement of earth-shattering wisdom, which he could then use to write a paper and be elected as an academician.
"Each star represents a constellation like the sun. Since there are so many stars, wouldn't it be strange if there wasn't a corresponding planet on which life could arise? If there really isn't, then humanity is too lonely."
"Clap clap clap! That's so well said! Mingfei, you've hit the nail on the head."
Damn it, every time Lu Mingfei hears someone call him Mingfei, it gives him the feeling of being transported back to the twisted Three Kingdoms.
Ye Sheng wanted to ask something, but since Guderian was already like this, what was the point of asking him anything? He could only signal to Shudeya to continue with the next question.
And so, Shudeyaki spoke up.
"Second question: Do you believe in superpowers?"
"Well......"
"Ah, let's be more precise. Anything that exceeds the limits of normal humans is defined as something that normal humans could never do, such as running 100 meters in five seconds, which is also considered a superpower."
Why do you say 5 seconds for 100 meters doesn't sound like it's that difficult?
Guderian's eyes lit up; this was a reverse probe! Sure enough! Lu Mingfei had already discovered their situation!
But Lu Mingfei didn't say anything more about it, and instead shrugged and continued.
"I believe, I believe."
Why?
Because he'd seen it before! Why? Does Zhuge Liang's ability to conjure up an army of 100,000 using money and supplies count? Does Liu Bei's direct control over Cao Cao's 50,000-strong army, which he had no real military power, count?
When Tao Shang was being chased by him, he traveled five thousand li in three days without missing a beat, even eating, drinking, relieving himself, and sleeping. Does that count? He rode the flaming steed given to him by Boss Cao and led five thousand soldiers to surround and intercept him before finally catching up.
Not to mention those four people... well, he only investigated these few people, and within three days he fell seriously ill and almost died. Now he can't help but be wary.
He himself is not ordinary, but compared to this group of people, he is just average. He is just like the average person who recovers quickly. He is not as useful as that staring stare that is not working when it is not working, which can scare people to kneel on the ground.
As for things like being able to fight against ten thousand enemies single-handedly, summoning a meteor shower of fire, or prying into the will of heaven...
Sorry, most civil and military officials are at this level. Unless you have some special job, you should just stay put.
He himself became the Grand Commander of Cao Wei by virtue of his unparalleled and unmatched stats.
After thinking about it, Lu Mingfei decided to change his approach. He searched his memories from his youth and felt that the "chuunibyou" (middle school syndrome) explanation was quite appropriate.
Then Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up, and he waved his hands and spoke.
"Well, there's no particular reason. I just feel like I have this ability within me, you know? It's just waiting for a crisis moment to awaken it."
..........
Why are you all looking at me like that?
Lu Mingfei couldn't understand it. Wasn't this just classic chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)? He had gone to great lengths to come up with it, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with it.
"Hey Mingfei, have you ever woken up in the morning and looked in the mirror and felt something was off?"
"Uh...no, why do you ask?"
Then Guderian, who had been looking on expectantly, withdrew his probing expression. Ye Sheng and Shudeya breathed a sigh of relief, and then Shudeya spoke.
"Okay, so one last question: do you think the foundation of human existence is idealistic, spiritual and spiritual, or materialistic, matter and body? ...This should be quite rigorous and doesn't need further explanation, right?"
She looked at Lu Mingfei with a hint of probing, but Lu Mingfei was completely baffled at the moment.
It wasn't that he didn't understand; he had seen both. In his experience, strategists usually made decisions based on their ideals and divine will, while military generals relied on their materialism and physical prowess to wreak havoc.
How should I answer that?
"Hmm...it should be both, it's a bit vague."
Moreover, he had also given himself mental suggestions to avoid dying, and then his wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye—was that considered idealism?
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaji looked at each other, and then they saw Professor Guderian walk up and pat Lu Mingfei on the shoulder.
"Mingfei, listening to your answers is like drinking fine wine; it's simply a pleasure."
This guy is starting to look more and more like Boss Cao. What's he up to, old man?
As a veteran of three reigns, Lu Mingfei, who had some affection for that mentally ill man, didn't slap Guderian's arm away; he just chuckled twice.
"So, I passed the interview?"
"Of course! I've made my decision! You passed! Your answer was perfect! The principal will absolutely adore you!"
Guderian patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder forcefully.
"Not only will I admit you, but I'll also allocate funds from my own name as a scholarship for you, enough to support you through four years of university!"
Is he really Boss Cao? Is he going to get promoted and given a house and a delicious six-month-old venison soon?
Although he had feelings for Boss Cao, it wasn't worth falling for him like this. Lu Mingfei quickly pulled away from Guderian's arms and said.
"No, no, isn't this a bit too fast? It's like you're trying to trick me into picking cotton."
"No, no, your parents are honorary alumni of our school. That's nothing compared to their contributions to Kassel College."
Upon hearing what Guderian said, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt as if something made sense.
Oh! Right! I still have my parents!
Lu Mingfei, whose son was almost a son himself, had long forgotten about this matter. But now, hearing someone say that he had parents, he felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
Lu Mingfei murmured.
"That's not surprising, that's not surprising at all."
"Yes, Mingfei, your parents have always thought about you. Look, here are their photos and a letter from your mother."
There was another letter? Lu Mingfei only remembered that his parents would send him ten thousand US dollars every month, which his guardian would then pocket...
"How dare you!!! Oh, sorry, it wasn't directed at you, Professor, could I take a look at this letter?"
Although the voice wasn't loud, the undiminished, habitually imposing aura almost made the other three people present fall off their chairs in fright.
In the end, Guderian, trembling, whether out of fear or excitement, handed the letter and a photograph to Lu Mingfei.
After Lu Mingfei took the letter and read it carefully, what was he thinking?
Oh, so my mom's name is Joey Winnie, and my dad's name is... hmm, I should remember, what's that again? Anyway, there's definitely a "road" in his name!
