After finishing her meal, Xia Mi went home to rest.
Panpan did her homework and previewed junior high school material, while Constantine watched TV series when he had nothing else to do.
Hearing the sound of the TV series, Panpan poked her head out of the study in confusion: "Why don't you have to go to school?"
Brother Lu Mingfei and Sister Xia Mi don't really like watching TV dramas, so the person who watches TV dramas must be the newcomer, Xiao Ding.
Constantine looked into those puzzled eyes and said, "Why do I need to go to school? I understand everything, so why do I still need to go to school?"
Panpan's eyes flashed with great confusion as she asked, "How do you know all of this??? Did you finish nine years of compulsory education?"
“He doesn’t need to go through nine years of compulsory education.” At this point, Lu Mingfei interjected, “Panpan, you can think of him as an elite child under Western elite education. He can gradually supplement his daily knowledge in life, and his main focus is on elite education, which is to learn professional skills.”
Upon hearing about this elite education, Panpan immediately became interested: "Then why can't I take this path?"
“Because you’re not smart enough,” Constantine said bluntly. “If you were truly smart enough, the people around you wouldn’t let you waste your energy. They would only urge you to learn professional skills, and they would arrange everything else for you.”
Panpan: ? ? ?
Why is this child so aggressive with his speech? Will he ever be able to live peacefully at home again?
Panpan seemed to see the future, but she was a little confused. Was this kid stupid? He'd only been here a short time, and he dared to talk about her, a native, like that?!
You're asking for it, aren't you? Just wait and see how I deal with you...
"Don't think about those things."
Lu Mingfei glanced at Panpan's big, darting eyes and knew exactly what she was thinking.
Constantine's words were indeed blunt and somewhat offensive, but he certainly had the confidence to speak like that, not to mention the Dragon King's identity and knowledge.
The Dragon King's status has been diminished by his own actions, and he can no longer fully utilize the Dragon King's knowledge.
But even disregarding those two factors, Constantine lived for thousands of years, and even if he had personality flaws and remained like a child, he couldn't possibly lack life experience.
Just like an ancient person, the ancients lacked knowledge and experience, unlike modern people who are well-informed and can learn about various things through the internet and mobile phones. But the ancients were not stupid...
Therefore, there is absolutely no need to send Constantine to school, and besides, Constantine would certainly not agree to it.
Although Donald wasn't Constantine's older brother, he was still a brother to him. Constantine was all alone without a brother—unless Donald agreed to go to school with him, Constantine would never go to school; it would be a complete waste of time.
Upon hearing his words, Panpan immediately realized that her brother had caught her little secret. She smiled sheepishly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I wasn't thinking anything." Then, she quickly retreated into the study to continue doing her homework.
Lu Mingfei returned to his room, and his phone rang.
Chu Zihang: "What preparations do I need to make before I go to Kassel College? Or is there any specific plan? I heard that Lao Tang in the lab has already calculated that the recycled metal can be mass-produced before my semester starts?"
Lu Mingfei: "That's true, but you don't need this kind of equipment at all when you go to Kassel College. By the way, is there something you want to tell me?"
Chu Zihang: "That's true, I'll come find you later."
Did Chu Zihang need to talk to me about something?
Lu Mingfei felt something was strange, mainly because Chu Zihang was indeed an honest kid, and if the other party wanted to come to him, there must be something he really wanted to say.
Chapter 241 The Bronze and Fire King's Revival Plan
Chu Zihang arrived at Lu Mingfei's house and said, "I suddenly remembered something."
"whats the matter."
"My dad can no longer be considered a normal human being, or rather, he shouldn't be considered a normal hybrid. Calling him a dragon would be more accurate."
"Yes, of course." Lu Mingfei nodded. Given Chu Tianjiao's situation, he was only one step away from truly transforming into a dragon.
"Then do you think there's some kind of special connection between dragons?" Chu Zihang said, "Although my dad lost most of his memories, his physical instincts are still there..."
After hearing this, Lu Mingfei suddenly understood, and the system also suddenly understood.
Chu Zihang's idea was not perfect. He just heard about the sudden and rapid breakthrough in alchemy and the regeneration of metals, and he felt that Lu Mingfei must have a deeper understanding of dragons.
However, he was not sure whether Lu Mingfei truly had a concrete understanding and in-depth knowledge of dragons.
However, he did indeed find the right person. Constantine did not have a dragon body, and Chu Tianjiao did not have a dragon soul or a complete dragon body.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Constantine and Chu Tian should be merged into a new dragon. Rather, it means that Chu Tianjiao can use Constantine's understanding to see things from a dragon's perspective that others cannot.
That's brilliant! Constantine has mastered the theory, while Chu Tianjiao can put it into practice. The two work together, and although they can't be used as a complete dragon, they are at least half a dragon.
Having a large part of a dragon can solve many problems, such as Norton's resurgence.
Although Constantine possesses the memories of the King of Bronze and Fire, his body is too weak to perform many actions; he merely possesses the memories of the King of Bronze and Fire.
If you want to do great things, you need a real Bronze and Fire King, like Norton inside Old Tang's body.
……
Constantine was somewhat surprised to hear about Chu Tianjiao's deeds. Looking at the handsome man, he said, "There are indeed some significant problems involved."
"what is the problem?"
"I have a feeling that Odin might be in some kind of trouble."
"Ok?"
There was an unexpected bonus?
"Transforming a person into a dragon is not a simple matter, but having gone this far, theoretically the breakthrough should be achievable. Odin stopped at the last step, but that doesn't mean he failed... These so-called heroic spirits may just be his experimental subjects, and his experiments may have already succeeded."
Constantine pondered and said, "Chu Tianjiao may just be a... successful experiment, while Odin is not going to create an ordinary dragon."
Chu Tianjiao asked with some confusion, "Wait, is this the issue we came here to discuss?"
“Of course not, it’s just that I suddenly remembered something. Odin may want to take it a step further…” Constantine said, “As for the plans and attempts mentioned earlier, there is no doubt that they can be carried out.”
"Then come!"
Chu Tianjiao didn't mind being experimented on at all. After all, his body was so strong and powerful that it wouldn't hurt to do some experiments. He had been eating and drinking with his son for so long, so what was wrong with helping his son with his boss's experiments?
To use a phrase from a book, these are our parents who provide for us! Isn't it normal to listen to your parents?
Constantine looked at his hands and muttered, "The difference between dragons and humans..."
Having once possessed the powerful body of a dragon king, he was now in the completely ordinary human body, which was indeed very difficult for him to adjust to. However, for his brother's sake, he could tolerate these discomforts, but he could still feel the difference between the two.
From the Dragon King's perspective, everything is weak, and it seems that everything can be refined by his alchemy.
But now that he's in a normal human body, he can't understand anything. The memories of alchemy are still in his mind, but without the body of the Dragon King, he can clearly feel his weakness and can't use alchemy to create things at will.
Have you tried locking your elements?
"what is that?"
"Is that your instinct?" Constantine asked uncertainly. "I think I was born with that ability, and it seems all dragons are like that; they're born with the ability to sense the elements. But now that I'm in a normal human body, I've completely lost that feeling."
Chu Tianjiao pondered for a while, trying to feel that sensation, but to no avail. "Why can't I feel anything at all?"
"Perhaps it's because you still think you're a human being?" Constantine said.
"I'm just a..." Chu Tianjiao swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Although he is indeed humanoid, and although he is indeed a handsome man, with the blood flowing through his veins, who would believe him if he said he was a man?
"Let me calm down and feel it... By the way, Lao Tang, logically speaking, you should feel the same way as me, right? What do you think it's like to be a dragon?"
Chu Tianjiao turned his gaze to Old Tang.
Old Tang's situation is much more special than mine. Logically speaking, the other party should have a clearer understanding of those feelings.
Old Tang shook his head: "Me? I didn't feel anything. When Norton awakened in me, he completely suppressed my consciousness. When he went into a deep sleep, he also severed some of my memory connections with him. These memories were even filtered by him, and I knew nothing about them... He even took back the dragon blood in my body. Only after my body underwent some miraculous, seemingly natural alchemical transformation can it be proven that Norton really did awaken in my body."
Upon hearing this, Chu Tianjiao declared with great confidence, "Then it's alright. In the end, it's up to me to save the world."
Then, under the gazes of the others, he held back for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
He couldn't perceive any of the dragon's body, perspective, power, or innate abilities.
Constantine shook his head and said, "Your body may have been weakened by Odin, and you're missing the last piece of the puzzle. If I were in my Dragon King form before, I could help you with that, but I'm powerless to do so now."
"Perhaps it's because I don't really understand dragons, so I can't experience their perspective?" Chu Tianjiao said, "What kind of perspective does a dragon have?"
Constantine shook his head again: "I don't know how to describe it to you."
Old Tang, however, spoke with interest upon hearing this, saying, "I think I know a little about this. Although the memories Norton gave me were filtered, I do indeed possess some of his memories as the Dragon King, and these memories are from the perspective of Norton, a highly intelligent dragon."
"How to say?"
Old Tang said, "Hmm... contempt. First of all, as a dragon, one's heart must be filled with contempt for all living things in the world, just like how a person looks at an ant. The weak ant seems like it could be crushed with a single kick. But within this contempt lies a certain amount of truthful knowledge, such as that the weak ant possesses a more advanced physical structure than mammals, and can easily lift things dozens of times its own weight. Then there's the knowledge about how ants can lift things dozens of times their own weight... It just feels like you really understand?"
Chu Tianjiao subconsciously shook his head: "I still don't feel anything. Is your method not suitable for me? After all, Norton is the Dragon King. How could the Dragon King's perspective be the same as that of an ordinary dragon like me?"
"Oh, never mind then, I don't understand."
Their gazes darted around, but finally settled on Constantine, since only Constantine's primary race was dragon.
“I don’t know much about this, so it’s impossible to rely on me,” Constantin said. “Perhaps the simplest way to speed things up is to complete the last piece of the puzzle and grant Uncle Chu Tianjiao the dragon genes to transform into a dragon.”
“Everyone understands this principle, but the question is how to bestow it, and where does the dragon transformation gene come from? Hmm…” Chu Tianjiao suddenly remembered something.
Doesn't Lu Mingfei have a normal dragon bone cross in his hand? Does that dragon bone cross contain the power of a dragon? Can that dragon power properly guide him to transform into a dragon?
The answers to all these questions may lie with the esteemed Lord of Bronze and Fire, since when it comes to the realm of alchemy, we must see their performance.
Is it worth it?
The system displayed several question marks.
After all, it's a precious dragon bone cross, and a complete one at that! If technology advances later, it might have other great uses, adding a powerful next-generation species-level combatant... Giving it to Chu Tianjiao seems a bit of a loss; it would be better to give it to Constantine to find a way to fuse with.
Logically, the most worthwhile method would be to directly choke Constantine and force Norton out. Constantine only needs to cooperate with the performance to provoke Norton into coming out.
The premise is that Old Tang must not know that this is an act, so as to perfectly deceive Norton.
Lu Mingfei definitely wouldn't actually kill Constantine; having him act would be too ineffective... It has to be... well, you're the one.
The system's gaze turned to Chu Tianjiao.
What if Old Tang were shocked to learn that Odin's puppet, Chu Tianjiao, had regained control of Chu Tianjiao's body and wanted to completely destroy Constantine?
Odin is truly ruthless! Absolutely true.
Oh, right, we might need to use some Constantine's blood or the Dragon Bone Cross to lure Norton into doing that.
……
The system whispered its plan to Chu Tianjiao, who was puzzled upon hearing it: "Huh? Is this really possible? It feels like a joke to me?"
