Chapter 228: After you’re full, get to work!
8:45 am
Lu Mingfei rubbed his eyes after reading materials all night. The doorbell ringing in the house diverted his attention.

When he opened the door, he saw Ling standing at the door with breakfast in his hand.

The girl was still dressed meticulously, with a folded silk scarf hanging on her sleeve, stained with a little dust.

Glancing sideways, you can see traces of wiping on the doorbell button.

Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his eyes and met hers.

Ling immediately lowered his head, trying to hide the fatigue in his eyes.

"Maybe I should remind you that it's good to be motivated to improve yourself, but you also have to understand that too much is as bad as too little. Resting is not a crime, and there's no need to force yourself to keep going even when you're tired."

Lu Mingfei spoke up and then gentlemanly made way for the corridor at the door.

"Please come in."

You seem to have no right to criticize others.

After entering the room, Ling went to the dining table and took out breakfast.

She placed a basket of steaming dumplings in front of Lu Mingfei, and then placed the opened oil dish on top, and spoke softly.

"I can not."

"why?"

Lu Mingfei picked up the steamed bun with chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth.

At least now I know what Zero is thinking, so I can now relax and deal with him.

The girl raised her head, her blue eyes filled with stubbornness and a hint of fear.

"You gave me a chance to keep up with you. If I relax, I might not even be able to see your back in a blink of an eye."

"."

He paused in chewing, and swallowed the food with his tongue. The slightly bulging cheek returned to its sculptural shape, and Lu Mingfei picked up another steamed dumpling.

Why do you all like to compete with me?

Almost everyone I know likes to compare me with their own.

Lu Mingfei was a little confused. He had the authority of the Black King and had also received the light of Ultraman. He had never stopped improving himself over the years. It could be said that before the Earth gave birth to another Black King, it would be difficult for the creatures in this world to compare with him either in spirit or in body.

From this point of view, I was really born into a good family. Now I can do better than others because of these innate conditions. If I can't even make a living, then I'd be a real waste.

Other people may not be worse than you, it’s just that their starting point is not as high as yours, and they are not as lucky as you, so there is no comparability.

But Lu Mingfei still respected the other party's ideas.

"Want to go to the meeting together?"

"A scientific research conference? I don't think I'm suitable for it."

Ling answered subconsciously, and then caught Lu Mingfei's gaze.

"The best minds in the world will gather there. Go there to learn ideas, observe knowledge, and improve your own bloodline. I believe you will catch up."

Zero's Word Spirit is Mirror Pupil, which is classified as a bloodline imprint. The number of dragons that can possess it can be counted on one hand. It is an extremely rare Word Spirit. Compared to simply using it to copy Word Spirits for combat, Lu Mingfei feels that the most terrifying thing about Mirror Pupil is its accompanying learning ability.

Even memories and experiences can be copied together. Without this word spirit, even if he has been in the same body with Leo for so many times, it is impossible for him to learn Leo's martial arts.

What Lu Mingfei lacks most is indeed help in combat power, but he has very high requirements in this regard.

Unfortunately, nothing on Earth can meet this standard.

But things I have never touched
'Can I do this?'

Recalling the knowledge that was engraved in my brain last night, for a moment, anticipation and fear surged into my heart at the same time.

But after a few seconds, she nodded firmly.

"Okay, as long as I'm by your side, I can do anything."

"Well, I believe you."

Very good, at least I can reply calmly.

Lu Mingfei took a breath calmly.

He is also making progress. Now, when facing gravity, he can remain calm even when facing a catastrophe.

While waiting for Ling to clean up the room, Lu Mingfei looked out the window.

"Lu Mingze, come out if you've seen enough!" "Hey, hey."

A toquilla sunhat popped out from the window sill, and a little girl in white sneaked in through the window.

For a moment, the air was filled with a faint smell of mercury vapor.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but frown.

"Did you eat breakfast?"

He reached out and rubbed the other person's head through the hat. As they shared their vitality, the lifeless smell finally dissipated.

"No."

Sitting next to Ling without any hesitation, Lu Mingze raised his head and replied confidently.

Ling was about to go out with the garbage bag but was stopped by Lu Mingfei.

"I still have some."

Signaling to Ling that he didn't need to go to the cafeteria to get food, Lu Mingfei took out a plate of steaming dumplings.

Most of them are made in my spare time at home, and there are also some dark dishes made by Aunt Su and others, all of which are put in capsules.

Lu Mingfei had modified the capsule space for storage a long time ago, so that food or other items would remain in the same state when put in and taken out.

"."

Looking at the crystal clear and plump dumplings on the table, the little girl supported the table with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and opened her mouth.

"Ah~"

The little girl shook her legs, the blue bow on her head trembled, and her blinking eyes looked at her brother expectantly. She was as delicate as Zero, as if she was a carefully carved doll.

Facing the girl's expectant gaze, Lu Mingfei picked up the dumplings, dipped them in a little sauce, picked up a tissue with one hand to catch the dripping soup, and put the dumplings into her mouth.

"Gu, the smell of my brother."

Chewing the food, her cheeks slightly puffed up, the little girl looked very satisfied.

"That's--wonderful!"

"If you ask for more, I won't feed you anymore."

Lu Mingfei pretended to sit down, but he did not put down his chopsticks.

"Hey, don't, don't, don't."

The little girl quickly grabbed her brother's hand and pretended to be pitiful.

"I'm not full yet. This is the first time I've had a meal since I was born, and it's my brother's meal, wuwuwu!"

First time
The muscles at his fingertips tensed for a moment, and Lu Mingfei looked at the little girl's pitiful face, and felt his heart ache for no reason.

Pick up the dumplings silently.

Indeed, he was lucky.

They have not been isolated from the world since birth, and they have very few means to touch the world. They can only watch the existence they care about degenerate step by step. They do not bear pressure that is enough to break their spine. They can gain the power to control their own destiny by taking action.

But others, those who care about themselves, can only count on him.

The boy silently handed food to the girl, his gesture like a most considerate brother.

The girl tasted it happily, with a happy smile on her face.

However, this feeling of being touched did not last long.

As the plates piled higher and higher, the little girl ate up all the stock in the capsule like a bottomless pit.

Lu Mingfei put down his chopsticks, held up the plate as high as his forearm with his mind, and looked at Lu Mingze with a smile.

"I am full?"

"I am full."

"Then come with me to work!"

"what--"
