3 Chapter 3: Who is Lu Feng?

"Boss, are you really the Seer Lu Feng?" The big guy asked. His name was apparently Liu Ming, a girly name for a macho dude.

"Yes, get everybody from the Black Eye gang here. I need to discuss something with them." Lu Feng acted cool and slowly nodded while turning his silhouette the other way.

"But boss, there's more than 300 of us. It'll take some time."

Lu Feng was still thinking through how he could meet all them. He did have something he wanted to discuss. Since he wasn't the old Lu Feng, he wanted to quit being the boss. He'd pass the job off to somebody else, like maybe Liu Ming.

Just at that time, Lu Feng's stomach growled.

While embarrassed, he did not talk or make any gestures concerning his embarrassment.

"Oh, just get all of them here by lunchtime."

"Yes, boss!" Liu Ming cheerfully replied and dashed away quickly to gather his fellow brothers.

'427, I'm hungry... I want to drink mango & peach juice.'

'You want to drink something that killed you?'

'It didn't kill me. I unknowingly killed myself. If only I had fresh mango & peach juice...'

'You, have a weird sense of humor.'

'What? I'm not joking?'

'...'

427 ended the conversation by not replying.

'427? Hey, 427?'

Not hearing the annoying system's voice, Lu Feng just gave up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

The bathroom stalls were in pretty good conditions. It didn't have gross and unidentifiable organisms and it didn't smell too bad.

Lu Feng brought a towel, shampoo, body shampoo, conditioner, and a bath sponge.

427 came back again.

'Why do you have so many supplies for a shower? Do you even need conditioner?'

"Hey, it's not too much. I spent all my time in my lab and showered first when I got out. Not showering for days was stinky, so I showered squeaky clean whenever I came out of my lab. It eventually became a habit." Unknowingly, Lu Feng said this all out loud.

"Feng? What are you doing here? It's not your group's time to shower." A tall lanky boy who seemed older than Lu Feng by maybe 2 or 3 years looked towards Lu Feng in curiosity.

"Huh?" Lu Feng quickly browsed through his memories. His group, the people in his cell, were supposed to shower after lunch.

"Well, it's fine. At least you are showering. God knows why the others think not showering is manly. They're all pigs." The boy said in exasperation.

Lu Feng giggled. He remembered that this was one of the only people he got along with. His name was Ding Ye, a childhood friend and bro for life who was his right arm in the Black Eye gang. Lu Feng suddenly felt bad for Ding Ye. He had stolen his best friend's body.

"Um, hello Ding Ye. I'm not Lu Feng. I mean my name is Lu Feng but... gah. You know what, it's too hard to explain. I'll just say it straight. I'm not the Lu Feng that you used to know. I'm the Seer Lu Feng."

"Haha, stop joking! The Seer is too legendary of a person to joke about Feng."

Lu Feng had expected for people to not believe him but it still hurt a little when he experienced it.

Lu Feng sighed.

"Here, give me your hand."

Ding Ye relented and did so.

Lu Feng frowned.

This Ding Ye was going to be freed from the prison along with the rest of the Black Eye gang tomorrow. Lu Feng wasn't sure why they'd all be free but thought it was good. The 300+ members of the gang were all pretty nice people. They just were in desperate need of money and joined the Black Eye gang just to earn some. They never raped, most of them had girlfriends or wives already whom they were loyal to. They just stole and spread rumors. Well, besides that, they hacked into the national banking accounts several times, kidnapped a prized pet pig of a neighboring country's prince, and threatened millionaires. But that wasn't much to talk about.

Anyways, back to DIng Ye's situation. The moment they were released, Ding Ye would be sniped. The sniper would be stationed on a grocery store's rooftop. Ding Ye wouldn't die but his right arm would be paralyzed. The sniper would be caught but would have suicided with a hidden pill under his tongues.

Lu Feng turned pale and breathed with some difficulty.

'Oh yeah, host, you aren't OP. You can only predict the future for somebody 2 times a day. But they should be regular fortunes, like you'll get married, live a long life, find riches, blah blah blah. It shouldn't be used often to predict harm or death. That's more powerful and will suck the energy right out of you.' The system said helpfully.

'Why couldn't you have told me sooner?' Lu Feng grimaced.

'Eh~ I forgot.'

'Don't act cute.' With that, 427 shut up and went away to some unknown place again.

Ding Ye looked worried for his friend.

"Lu Feng, what's wrong? There there, I'll believe that you're the Seer, just go rest. You don't look that well."

"Ding Ye, I'm going to tell you something. The Black Eye gang is going to be released tomorrow."

"How is that possible? Your dad said he wouldn't help this time!"

"I don't know either. I just predicted that it would happen though. Anyways, listen. Tomorrow, when we go out, you are going to be sniped. Your right arm is going to be paralyzed after that. Oh, and you're girlfriend will slap you and break up with you."

Lu Feng put in some extra information so that Ding Ye could get ready for the pain.

But instead of the gratitude that he expected, there was rage.

"Lu Feng! Stop saying nonsense! Get out!"

So in the end, Lu Feng was kicked out from the bathroom stalls and became a little pissed at Ding Ye for kicking his butt.

"Hmph, he doesn't appreciate me. Oh well, let's get lunch now~" Lu Feng skipped towards the cafeteria, getting weird looks from other prisoners.

"Today's lunch is pizza! I haven't had pizza in... how many years?" Lu Feng tried to remember the last time he ordered pizza.

"Hey, why is Lu Feng being like that?"

"How the hell should I know? He's being awfully weird."

"He was smiling... smiling! Do you think he'll try to fight off a guard?"

"He was skipping around in the hall too... wonder who he's planning to beat up..."

"Lu Feng went somewhere yesterday, right? Wasn't it the chief's office?"

"Yea, maybe he went crazy from being mad at the chief for locking him up?"

"Who knows, I just hope he doesn't get any of us in trouble for being around him when fighting guards..."

"Yeah, let's get out of here. Lu Feng's too weird today."

You could see Lu Feng's bulging veins now. He was cursing the others so eloquently that 427 couldn't make a comeback. And that took skills...

The lunch lady was trembling a little as she handed the tray with a single slice of cheese pizza.

"Oh, lunch lady, can I trade this for pineapple pizza?" Lu Feng politely asked.

"Hiiiii! H-here you go!" The lunch lady gave a whole box of pineapple pizza to Lu Feng and ran away to the kitchens wailing.

The other lunch ladies gave her pitying looks but didn't dare to scorn Lu Feng.

"Huh, well, more for me I guess!" Lu Feng bounced away with the whole pan of pizza and went towards the largest table.

He sat down and began eating his slices of pizza.

"Mmm, if only there was mango & peach juice~" Lu Feng looked like a happy chipmunk with his full cheeks.

"Lu Feng, what are you doing?" An angry voice sounded from behind him.

Lu Feng was stuffing himself with the 5th slice when he had to turn around and face the person behind him.

"Hm? Who are you?"

The mysterious person looked at the happy Lu Feng with full cheeks and blushed. 'Cute! How is Lu Feng this cute! I mean- no! Why is he like this? Lu Feng's a devil!'

"This is our table! Why are you sitting here!" The guy said with a flustered voice.

"Oh, just let me borrow it for today, I'll be gone by tomorrow anyway." Lu Feng went back to eating his pineapple pizza and ignored the mystery guy and the huge group behind him.

"Y-you!"

"What me? The cafeteria is huge! It's not like this table is the only table. And besides, why not take a change for the day? Hey, go to that huge table over there nearby the window. I'm sure you're stressed because you don't have enough vitamin D. Get some sunlight." Lu Feng nonchalantly answered.

The group behind him was definitely mad now. Lu Feng had only tried to good-heartedly let them take a good spot, but they were ignoring him.

"Lu Feng! This is the only table that can hold 200 people! It's ours! If you don't want to get up, fight us!" The person impulsively said.

The crowd started cheering. It was no fun in the jail. Besides, they could witness the fighting of the boss of the 2nd biggest gang and the boss of the 3rd biggest gang.

It was Lu Feng against Tang Liwei(that's the name of the boss for the 3rd biggest gang, Dying Cry)

"Huh? Why fight? Are you ok?"

The audience almost spurted out blood.

'This Lu Feng, why is he so daring today? Has he gone crazy?!' was what they were yelling in their heads.

"Lu Feng! Fight me!" roared the enraged creature known as Tang Liwei.

'Host! You don't know how to fight! You haven't inherited the previous Lu Feng's skills! You're definitely going to lo-"

Before 427 could finish saying "lose", Lu Feng kicked Tang Liwei with a very powerful sidekick right at his stomach.

Tang Liwei fell over with an oomph and fainted while vomiting.

'Hm? What did you say?'

For once 427 couldn't answer.

'N-nothing, continue with your pizza dear host.'

Unknowingly, the system changed its attitude on this host and replied respectfully for once.

Lu Feng didn't think much of it and happily began eating the 6th slice of his pineapple pizza.

'Strange. Too strange. My host definitely has no history of fighting! And he seems to have used a 100% of his body for this! No host can have complete control over a body in such a short time! I must visit headquarters for this!' System 427 took on the form of a flashing blue light and sped away to his headquarters to report.

At the system management headquarters...

A handsome young man with blue hair ran in the hallways.

Several strange hair colored beautiful people greeted him and asked him how he was.

The young man smiled strangely and said his greetings and replies shortly as he speedily ran towards a room with the sign "President's Office".

"Prez! I have something to report!"

The President, a red-haired man with a fabulous mustache looked up from his paper reports.

"427? Why are you here?"

Yes, this handsome blue-haired man was 427, the super annoying system of being an idol.

"Prez, my host. He might be malfunctioning!"

"Humans don't malfunction, 427."

"But he has knowledge of controlling his body perfectly! And he never knew how to fight but he now does!"

"That does sound a little suspicious... Let's check his history."

The president walked out of his office and into a nearby room.

This room was the "Host Records" library. With all records of a hosts' memories and history, it was one of the most important places in the system management headquarters.

"Lu Feng... Lu Feng... Ah, here he is!"

Digital files passed by in a row as the president found Lu Feng's record.

"...427, are you sure Lu Feng's your host?"

"Yes Pres, he's the only one in the hosts named 'Lu Feng'."

"This is troublesome. I need to report to the higher-ups. Hurry! I need to call them right now! Let's get to the office!"

The president flung the file away as if it was a fearsome disease and ran towards his office.

427 stayed behind a bit to pick up his host's file, thinking 'Why would the pres need to report to the Gods?'

"W-what is this?" 427 was flustered.

"???"s only appeared when the data file didn't know something or it was hidden from it. This was a legend. More so, because it had never happened and the Gods only told them about it in the mythical system management manual.

"427!" The president came again with a nervous look.

"The Gods want a detailed report! They want to speak to you! Hurry! It's on a video call right now!"

"Me?!" The blue haired system cried out in astonishment and hurried, just in time to not notice the flickering of the data file.

It flickered for a mere second and then turned into a "???" file again.

If only 427 had noticed this, he could have had a better future...
