Chapter 42.1 - Chasing plan
Thank you to Lolilu for sponsoring an extra release of IMG!
Mo Han and Frank went back to school, while Iman stayed in a hotel near St. Romia.
The rules of Hermann University are not as strict as St. Romia, but relaxed and free. Especially in the mech department. Iman is already a third-year student in mech manufacturing, and most of his courses are practical content. He has already finished his coursework, so even if he misses a whole week of classes, no one will mind.
Early the next morning, Iman sent Luo Fei a message: “Give me Ludwig’s contact information! I will treat him to dinner.”
Naturally, Luo Fei fully cooperated and sent over his roommate’s contact information.
When Iman sent over a call, the communicator quickly connected, and Ludwig’s indifferent face appeared on the holographic screen.
Today was a Sunday, so he didn’t wear a military uniform. Instead, he was wearing black trousers and a shirt with short sleeves, revealing his strong arms with smooth and beautiful muscle lines. The top button was undone, revealing his honey-colored skin. The hem of the shirt was tucked into the waistband, which was bound by a belt with a silver buckle, highlighting his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs.
Iman couldn’t help swallowing – this person is too handsome!
In his everyday clothes, Ludwig is no longer as sharp as when wearing military uniform, but his face was still cold, with no emotion in his eyes.
He didn’t seem surprised to see Iman, and said calmly, “What do you want from me?”
Iman smiled and said, “Didn’t I agree to treat you to dinner yesterday? I want to make an appointment with you. What time is convenient for you?”
Ludwig thought for a while and said, “Twelve o’clock at noon, let’s just eat in the school cafeteria.”
Iman shook his head immediately. “No, it must be a big meal. What’s the point of eating in the school cafeteria? Haven’t you eaten in the cafeteria since school started?”
Ludwig: “Yeah.”
“So why not change it up?” Iman smiled brighter. “I’ll pick you up by car, and we’ll go to a famous restaurant nearby. I’ll treat you to a seafood feast, how about it?”
Seeing his expectant gaze, Ludwig had no choice but to nod. “Okay, do you want to ask Luo Fei?”
Luo Fei and Iman obviously knew each other, so Ludwig asked casually, but Iman waved his hand immediately: “Don’t call him, why call a light bulb.”
Ludwig: “Huh?”
Iman realized his tongue slipped, so he hurriedly made up an explanation: “Luo Fei is allergic to seafood, so let’s not call him today. The two of us will go alone.”
Luo Fei, who was walking by the door of the bedroom, and happened to hear this sentence: “…”
It’s enough for Iman to chase someone, but he actually said that he’s allergic to seafood?
Ludwig turned off the communicator, turned his head and met Luo Fei’s gaze.
Luo Fei greeted with a smile: “Morning, Iman invited you to dinner?”
Ludwig said: “Yes, seafood. He said you’re allergic to seafood, so he won’t ask you to go.”
“That’s right, I haven’t eaten seafood since I was a child.” Luo Fei straightened up the situation for Iman, and added, “I grew up with Iman. He has a lively and straightforward personality, and is a bit outspoken. He often makes some shocking remarks, but he’s actually very kind, has no evil intentions. He’s also very smart. You can try to be friends with him.” Luo Fei was quite responsible in his role as an assist, and tried to raise his roommate’s favorability of Iman.
“Hmm.” Ludwig’s expression didn’t change. He turned and walked out of the dormitory, and said along the way, “I’ll go to the library first.”
He likes to go to the library to look up information. Luo Fei doesn’t know what he’s looking up, and he changed into casual clothes and went to the school’s gymnasium.
***
The hellish special training assessment ended a few days ago, and the school gave the freshmen a vacation this weekend. Some students were so tired, they simply lay in their dorm rooms to catch up on sleep. Some energetic students started to fly like prisoners who finally escaped from the prison, and ran about campus.
The gymnasium is overcrowded. Most students are wearing sportswear, some are playing tennis, some are bowling, and some are playing basketball…
Various sports loved by humans in the earth age have also been passed down to this day.
When Luo Fei came to the basketball court, there happened to be seven or eight people gathered around, ready to start a game. Luo Fei took the initiative to walk up to a tall boy and said, “Senior, can I join?”
He hadn’t seen this person in the freshman training camp, so he probably wasn’t a first-year student, which is why Luo Fei consciously called him ‘senior’.
The other party grinned and said, “Of course, perfect timing. We were just looking for someone! Come on, ten people together, everyone will be divided into two teams by drawing lots.”
He seems to be quite popular. Everyone quickly divided into two groups according to his command, Luo Fei was in the red team, and the senior was in the blue team.
After the game started, Luo Fei discovered that this senior was quite skilled at basketball. He was able to break through with the ball easily under the consecutive interceptions of three people, throw the ball into the basket with a chic slam dunk, and perform a three-step layup. Very handsome.
With the blue team leading in points, Luo Fei could only do his best to catch up.
The two started a fierce contest on the court, and their teammates assisted and cooperated.
Their teams quickly identified the two of them as the most skilled, so after grabbing the ball, they would consciously pass it to the two of them.
In the last 30 seconds before the end of the first quarter, the ball was in Luo Fei’s hands, and the senior stepped in front of Luo Fei.
His height was about the same as Luo Fei, so when Luo Fei was stopped, he felt unprecedented resistance.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was tense.
At this moment, Luo Fei’s body suddenly moved to the left. His opponent immediately followed, but at the next moment, Luo Fei suddenly turned back and took the ball around from his right side, and broke through his defense with a beautiful feint. Then Luo Fei stood on the line of the three-pointer, jumped up, and threw the basketball from a long distance.
The basketball made a perfect arc in the air and fell steadily into the basket with a “thunk”.
The system tallied the scores. With Luo Fei’s 3 points just now, they tied with the blue team 25:25.
When they went off court for the break, there was applause from all around. The senior also smiled and said, “Your skill is pretty good!”
Luo Fei said modestly: “I was interested in basketball when I was young, and took some classes. I’m still far behind senior.”
The other party offered his hand and said, “Introducing myself, my name is Xiao Weiming, and I’m the president of the school’s basketball club.”
Luo Fei shook hands with him and said, “My name is Luo Fei.”
Xiao Weiming glanced at him in surprise. “You’re the Luo Fei who scored perfect marks in all subjects in the special training for freshmen this year? No wonder you’re so good.”
Luo Fei didn’t expect to be so famous in school, but he still kept calm and said with a smile, “Thank you for the compliment.”
Xiao Weiming patted him on the shoulder and said: “If you’re interested, come join our basketball club. Every time we get a break from school, we organize some ball games. You can fill out the application form directly on the school’s internal network, it’s very convenient.”
Luo Fei nodded: “Okay.”
He has liked all kinds of sports since he was a child, especially ball games, but he didn’t have so many friends in the palace and could only play with programmed robots, which was very boring. During middle school, the school organized several ball games, and Luo Fei participated in them all.
Unexpectedly, there’s a professional basketball club here with masters like Senior Xiao. Luo Fei naturally applied to join without hesitation. As a newcomer who just joined, he also very generously invited the seniors who played together today to a meal.
When they parted, everyone had a very good impression of Luo Fei: a highly skilled, sensible, and humble freshman.

At the same time, at the gate of the military academy.
Iman parked a luxury suspension car modified by his father on the side of the road. The fiery red color was like a burning flame.
Most military students passing by can’t help but glance over, because the style of the car is too flamboyant compared to the rigorous “military academy”. The person sitting inside wore sunglasses, revealing a soft chin and light pink lips, with an obvious smile on the corner of his lips, appearing very happy.
Is he here to pick someone up? Which student’s relative is it?
The passing students speculated curiously.
The next moment, they saw a boy coming out of the academy. Although he was not in uniform, his tall and straight posture made him look like a student who had undergone special military training.
As soon as Ludwig walked out of the school gate, he saw the eye-catching red sports car. The person in the car also saw him, and immediately waved.
“Here, here!”
The students around them turned to look over. Ludwig walked to the sports car expressionlessly, and after a closer look, he recognized that it was Iman.
Today, he was dressed as stylishly as a little star in the entertainment industry with ripped pants. Two buttons of his upper shirt unbuttoned, revealing a section of white skin, and a beautiful red gemstone pendant around his neck. The big sunglasses on his face hid his eyes, so only his raised lips could be seen, smiling brightly.
Ludwig asked tentatively, “Iman?”
The smile on Iman’s lips deepened as he nodded vigorously. “Yes, who else would it be? Get in the car!”
The second CP goes on a date!
