Lu Mingfei, If You’re Not Going to Grind, How are You Supposed to Slay Dragons!

After 17 years of coasting through life, a sudden burst of ambition drove Lu Mingfei to activate a grindcore system. Studying, running, working out, playing basketball… As long as he kept grinding, he’d earn proficiency, grow stronger, and level up to unlock new perks!

Three years later—

In the principal’s office, Angers was reviewing Lu Mingfei’s daily report.

“3:00–4:00 AM: Sleep, ensuring at least one hour of rest each day? The energy of young people really is astounding.

4:00–8:00 AM: Physical testing of new weapons from the Equipment Department? An S-rank physique does need relentless tempering.

8:00–12:00 PM: Teaching classes to the fossil professors? Geniuses truly are built different.

12:00–6:00 PM: Took a private jet to Japan to treat the new head of the Genji family and joined her for dinner? If I recall, that’s the pretty girl named Uesugi Eriri, right? Student Lu Mingfei has gone above and beyond to maintain the relationship between our academy and the Japan branch—what a dedicated effort, leading by example.

6:00 PM–2:00 AM: Out on missions slaying retainers, then returning to the dormitory? He’s home by curfew and abides by school regulations.

2:00–3:00 AM: Drinks a cup of hot dragon blood, activates Blood Rage training for one hour, and then sleeps…

Everyone knows people are different—and even among S-ranks, there’s a gap. This must be a unique constitution!”

Meanwhile, Lu Mingfei stared at the new schedule on his system panel, on the verge of tears.

“Is there no time left to sleep?”

System: “Lu Mingfei, if you’re not going to grind, how are you supposed to slay dragons!”
