Let’s eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after seeing Su Lin pick up his chopsticks did the others follow suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satiated with food and drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin wiped his mouth, then opened a portal beside him—he had left Shuijing Peak hovering above Tokyo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin stepped through first; the others exchanged glances and followed one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Zhongcheng leaned close to his younger brother and whispered: “If I don’t return with Father, remember what I told you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he patted his brother’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by going there will we know what’s really happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before witnessing it with our own eyes, all speculation and conjecture are meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Zhongcheng walked last, stepped through the portal, and then the portal closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world beyond is accessible only to those with sufficient qualifications and who have been chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t wander around, and don’t touch any flowers or grass by the roadside,” Su Lin said as he walked ahead. “This is private property. Your Supreme owns only one room here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That room up ahead—go in,” Su Lin pointed to an ancient, elegant building ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the open door, the interior was dark, devoid of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group hesitated; Wu Haoran stepped forward first with Su Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was this old—what hadn’t he seen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they’d already come here, whether it was a dragon that devoured those who entered or a deity seeking to guide humanity, they had to see it for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deed was done—the Black King had awakened. Even to secure more information for humanity, he had to step inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he hoped there might still be a chance for word to get out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their steps were heavy, as if lead weights were tied to their feet—like walking toward final judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corridor was pitch black, but the hybrids’ physical conditioning made no difference. Soon, a room ahead glowed with light—the door stood open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They entered a spacious room, where melodious, uplifting music played, accompanied by the rhythmic clatter of keystrokes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They pulled open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You finally arrived—I’ve been waiting an hour.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they even stepped in, Lu Mingfei’s impatient voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of people stood respectfully around a young man, who paused his game, turned, and looked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We had dinner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin said it casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You made me sit here playing video games for over an hour just to eat dinner?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei’s voice rose sharply, accusatory: “Do you have any idea how garbage human entertainment games are in this era?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s like I used to eat nothing but rare delicacies every day, and now you force me to eat spoiled rice for an hour!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin shrugged. “You ate it, didn’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m about to throw up,” Lu Mingfei stuck out his tongue in a gagging expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just hurry up and develop virtual reality already. Playing this shitty 3D garbage is beating my mind to a pulp,” Lu Mingfei sighed, stood up, and looked at the Wu family members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty-one. About right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded, shed his slumped demeanor, and smiled approvingly. The bloodline hybrids waiting with him lowered their heads, Bugan  meet his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you Lu Mingfei?” Wu Yuxiang was a first-year at the Cassell Academy—she naturally knew of the legendary “S.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Lu Mingfei was even more famous than she imagined; some bloodline families leaning toward the Secret Faction sent their outstanding descendants to Cassell for training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from classified data, Lu Mingfei’s basic information was practically common knowledge among powerful families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because his performance at the academy was so abysmal, some regarded him as An He’s “distant relative.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A backdoor connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his grades each semester could be bought from the News Department for just one dollar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… you are?” Lu Mingfei had no memory of this girl with a ponytail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First-year, same major as you—Wu Yuxiang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, oh, nice to meet you,” Lu Mingfei replied automatically. “You’re here too, junior sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin raised an eyebrow, watching Lu Mingfei with a strange expression—typical of you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Haoran shook his head, his aged but strong hand gripping Wu Yuxiang’s arm and pulling her back a step to stand behind the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Excellency—are you the Black King?” Wu Haoran’s tone was respectful, yet not subservient; he calmly studied the disheveled young man before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, yeah,” Lu Mingfei affirmed. “You can consider me the Black King.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That answer is too vague,” Wu Haoran clearly wasn’t satisfied. What did “you can consider” mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does it make a difference?” Lu Mingfei’s pupils glowed—his dragon aura surged. All present bloodline hybrids felt as if they were in a tiny boat tossed in a storm-tossed ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Huai Gu, head of the Zhao family, trembled, his face contorted as he resisted the pressure, yet his eyes locked onto Wu Haoran’s group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had already endured this once before Wu’s arrival—and now it was happening again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They silently cursed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Haoran, you old bastard—you’re late and you talk too much!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you see we’re too scared to even speak? Fuck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than five seconds passed—but to the bloodline hybrids, it felt like a century.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now?” Lu Mingfei retracted his dragon aura and asked the Wu family warmly: “Give me your answer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Wu members gasped for breath, sweat beading on their foreheads; Wu Haoran’s white training robe was soaked through with cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We pledge our service to the Supreme.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No further proof or explanation was needed—the gap in power and rank was the most direct truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei nodded at Su Lin. “I’ll be relying on you for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whatever. You pay, I deliver,” Su Lin said indifferently. “It’s all yours now. When it’s done, send them back—don’t let them linger here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll escort them out personally. Don’t worry,” Lu Mingfei handed Su Lin a note. “The Secret Faction has noticed you. There might be trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whatever,” Su Lin smiled, opened the door, and walked out. “It’s all inevitable anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1169,"2026-06-20T04:17:29.700Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","93b8dbc4db1ddfbeb33a1741a7c570c42eb6e4911c8bbb77a627009443c8d9d0","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-75","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-73",720,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-cover.jpg"]
