Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 118: Zero: Show up, show up! (Three in one)

【Titer】

A Loving Family (Part 3)

【Sonic: Is seven o'clock tonight okay? 】

【Murasame: Got it.】

Ming: OK~

[Sonic: Want some champagne?]

Ming: Do you really want to drink that?

【Sonic: Then what should I bring? 】

Murasame: Red Bull or Bio-Gen.

A conversation ended quietly.

It was seven o'clock in the evening in Kassel.

Students who did not have evening classes had already walked out of the teaching building and went for a walk in the park after enjoying Kassel's exquisite dinner.

Unlike other universities that always spend money on boring things like building roads and fences, Kassel attaches great importance to students' livelihood activities. The lighting is European-style, the red brick roads are stylish, and there are benches everywhere for young couples to rest after a walk after class.

Even at seven o'clock in the evening, the outdoor density in Kassel is not low.

So they can see—

"Hey, hey, hey! Isn't that Chu Zihang?!"

"Is this true? Where is it?"

People's noisy discussions were transmitted to each other, inspiring even louder exclamations.

They saw the man.

Chu Zihang, the school's celebrity, had a calm face as usual at this moment, holding a canvas bag and something that looked like a sports drink in his hands. He walked straight ahead, completely unaffected by the students around him.

The students wanted to talk to him, but few had the courage to do so.

Even so, they still looked at his target curiously, which was
【Student Union.Norton Hall】

! !
"Chu Zihang went to Norton Hall with a canvas bag and drinks!"

"Where's the target?! It must be Caesar!"

"of course!"

"really!"

The inexplicable situation aroused the enthusiasm of the Kassel students. The young couple who were taking a walk immediately pushed each other away and looked at Chu Zihang's back with shining eyes.

[Student Union President Caesar] vs. [Lionheart Club President Chu Zihang]?!

This is such an exciting battle! How could I miss it?!

Absolutely not! Absolutely not!

However, before they could feel any excitement about this incident, a new round of roars erupted from the back of the crowd.

“Oh my god!! It’s Lu Mingfei!”

"real or fake?!"

If Chu Zihang and Caesar were veteran figures in the academy, then Lu Mingfei was the undisputed number one actress at the time.

An S-level that is rarely seen in decades.

He humiliated Principal Angers in class and gained his recognition.

The mysterious and close relationship between Chu Zihang and Caesar.

And the recent second generation hunting incident.

In the world of mixed-bloods, the strong are respected.

Lu Mingfei is a strong man!
And now he——

"Huh~huh~"

Humming a tune, Lu Mingfei walked on the path of Kassel College. He could feel the gazes of people around him, but he didn't pay much attention.

——He became more conspicuous in the mercenary circle of Night City. He was a little uncomfortable at first, but he didn't care about it later. It was too troublesome to count them one by one.

"Hey, Lu Mingfei also brought a bag of sports drink."

"It seems there's nothing going on at Norton Hall tonight?"

"Three people, a closed room, hehe Lu x Chu x Kai. Hehehe, I don't even dare to use such a provocative tag when writing fan fiction."

"Someone, go and shut up this giggling creature and ask her to pay me for what I heard."

So, were the students’ guesses correct?
What on earth were these three hot-tempered young men going to do in the dead of night at the Norton House?
A fiery face.

Unspeakable secrets.

That is--

【Knock knock.】

Knock on the door.

"come in."

Lu Mingfei entered the room and saw Chu Zihang and Caesar who were already prepared on the bed, and greeted them.

"Good evening~"

"Well, please sit down quickly." Caesar nodded, and then pulled open the seat -

【Click】

The lights came on, illuminating the handsome faces of the two Kassel celebrities, as well as...
There were mountains of test papers in front of them.

"Well then, let the study session begin."

Yes.

The fiery face comes from the red temperature when one cannot solve the alchemical mechanical problems.

The unspoken secret is that the Kassel trio is about to fail the exam - this is a sad fact.

——Do you remember what the three of you did last semester?

Lu Mingfei enrolled in school early, and it took less than half a month for the two to become familiar with each other and attend Principal Angers' class. Then, Principal Angers noticed him and selected him as a special training player and began special training.

In the evening there is additional training of three against one.

There is free training during the day.

Occasionally, I also have to spend time learning diving knowledge, and fully master the knowledge that the graduates took at least a year to prepare in just a few months.

In this situation.
【I'm not studying at all!】

Lu Mingfei spent another half a year in Cyberpunk. From the perspectives of Chu Zihang and Caesar, the former was recuperating in the gym to recover from the aftereffects of the "violent blood" attack, while the latter returned to his hometown in Italy to recuperate.

Conclusion: none of the three people learned anything.

Basically, it was the same as Lu Mingfei's, a temporary study session that started in the last week.

"Lu Mingfei, do you know how to answer this question?"

"Uh oh. Sorry, my [Technical Ability] value is super low."

"what are you saying?"

“This formula should be used.”

"I didn't ask you—if I had asked you, wouldn't it have made me look inferior to you in studies?"

"Boss, you've always been bad at studying, right?"

"Shut up, Lu Mingfei, shut up."

In this way, the sound of communication could be heard from time to time.

After the exchange, there was another period of silent sound of flipping pages and the sound of a black pen scratching across a notebook.

"Come to think of it, winter vacation is almost here."

Then, the voice of a young Italian man was heard again.

"Hmm." Lu Mingfei erased the drawing in front of him with an eraser, thinking that if this were twenty years later, he could at least use CAD to draw these complicated mechanical drawings instead of writing furiously here.

Come to think of it, mechanical engineering is obviously a required course in Cassel, but surprisingly I haven't heard of any senior brothers working in this field. Now it seems that they have been poached by those mixed-blood families on the board of directors to secretly research [prosthetics].

Haha, I was wondering why I learned this thing but never used it.

While studying, Lu Mingfei was also thinking about all these random things, while Caesar, who was unaware of this, was still moving forward with the previous topic.

"So, there will be Christmas before the winter vacation. Do you have any plans for that day?" Caesar finished a question, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to read the conditions of the next line.

"Yes." Chu Zihang said calmly after finishing the last multiple-choice question.

"Yes." Lu Mingfei's voice became cold for some reason. He stopped reading and spoke seriously.

"That's it."

Caesar also replied.

【Swish, swish, swish】

The room was silent again for about thirty seconds.

"Who are you kidding? Even I have time even though I have a girlfriend. Why can't you two be free?"

Lu Mingfei: "."

A cold and cruel announcement suddenly came, and a flaw appeared on Lu Mingfei's face.

Caesar poked his temple with the end of a black pen, his eyes quickly scanning the dragon history textbook in front of him, trying to do two things at once.

"Although I understand your stubbornness, playing StarCraft isn't that important. Why don't you stay with me? I'm going to travel to Japan later, and before that, I have to find a way to give Nono a satisfying gift."

"Chu Zihang, the same thing. When you say you have something to do, you're just referring to kendo practice or something like that. You also know that what I'm asking is [if any girls have asked you out], right?"

Chu Zihang: “.”

The man looked up and frowned.

Hmm? Is this what you just said?

"."

"."

"."

Again, silence.

Although the outside world has spread the rumors that the relationship between the three is extremely low, in fact, the three are just friends who have risked their lives for each other, and they are not actually very close.

Lu Mingfei is used to being a leader, but V and Jack are both very good at socializing, and in Night City he actually positions himself as [David's successor].

However, when he returned here, he found
Even if you include my time with Cyberpunk—I'm just an undergraduate, right?

He was used to talking to his elders, but with his peers——

On the contrary, there is no topic at all.

Come to think of it, was I just ridiculed for not having a girlfriend?
Lu Mingfei's brows jumped.

How annoying! You have no idea what's going on here! I'm the one who's killing everyone in Night City! I crushed Adam's hammer! I'm the hero who put on a super cool hero-saving-hero scene! It's only natural that I don't have time for a girlfriend.
Of course
"Hey, what do you think women care about in men?"

Lu Mingfei put down his pen and made a classic commander's gesture.

Oops, I'm so vulgar.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

However, the situation in Night City was indeed too tense, forcing him to treat the dragon world as a 'resort'.

Night City is work, Kassel is life.

"Oh, are we finally starting to talk about some topics that we would talk about at a party?" Caesar also became a little excited.

The so-called study session, even in anime, will eventually turn into something unexpected.

After all.

——No one wants to learn.

As Lu Mingfei asked, Caesar threw down his black pen with a look of joy, as if he had been waiting for this very moment, and raised the corner of his mouth, "You've asked the right person."

"After all, the boss is the only one among us who has a girlfriend."

"Well, but before I answer—why not let Chu Zihang answer first?"

Caesar raised his head and looked at Chu Zihang provocatively.

"Ok?"

Chu Zihang, still working on the problem, looked up, as if puzzled by the shift in conversation. No, Chu Zihang was just being reserved and dull. He hadn't reacted simply because half his brain was still busy solving the problem. In response to Caesar's question, he simply replied, "Face."

"Oh~~"

Lu Mingfei felt that Caesar and Chu Zihang were people he should learn from. After all, both of them had at least had the experience of being confessed to by girls.

"Any more?"

Chu Zihang: “Yeah.”

"."

"."

"."

"Silence for so long?! Is there really nothing else!?!"

Chu Zihang shook his head.

"But I've never shown them anything other than my face. My academic performance and basketball skills?"

"Is that so?" Lu Mingfei looked up, "Why don't I learn basketball too?"

"No, why should we skip the academic performance? Aren't we having a study session? Let's study first?" Chu Zihang pointed to the test paper in his hand and advised expressionlessly.

"But then again-"

Caesar forced the conversation to continue. "Basketball is good, but there are other aspects of masculinity that can be highlighted."

"Boss, you speak." Lu Mingfei leaned over to listen.

"Sports car."

"?"

"The day I chased Nuonuo, I brought a sports car. Oh, and a Desert Eagle. I modified it into gold. Do you want to see it?" After Caesar said this, he took out his modified golden Desert Eagle from his trouser pocket as if to show off.

Lu Mingfei looked at the pistol that was bigger than half his head, and lamented that the last person he knew who liked to paint his pistols gold was named Jack Wilson.

So to summarize.
【Face】

【car】

【gun】

And [Basketball]

"Let me help you with the car and the gun," Caesar suggested.

Chu Zihang: "And learning to become——"

"But even if we gather all of this, it still won't be enough!"

Caesar raised his voice.

"What's important is the courage to take the initiative—Lu Mingfei, that's exactly what you lack. Hmm. It's decided. You don't have to accompany me this Christmas. Just think of it as a trial or a test. I'll match you with a woman who happens to be available in Kassel."

"Eh!? Isn't this a bit..."

"I will help you find a family with a status one-fifth as high as mine."

"Will you be the best man at the boss's wedding?"

The two of them started discussing, and Chu Zihang, who was standing beside them, looked up several times.

"No"

"You should study first."
-
The study session ended up being a half-baked gathering. Caesar naturally needed no explanation, and even Chu Zihang couldn't help but chat a little about topics unrelated to study.

Although it's a matter of "anything goes", it's this kind of conversation that gives me the feeling of being a student.

It feels weird, but not bad.

"Um"

In the Kassel boys' dormitory, Lu Mingfei was reading by lamplight at night, while Finger was gnawing on a pork elbow beside him, occasionally answering questions when asked.

After some time away from the Dragon World, he needed to replenish his knowledge. Although his memory was incredibly good after having the brain-computer, he was unwilling to let the knowledge enter his brain.

By the way, although Lu Mingfei attended classes with the [second graders] when he enrolled, he was actually still a [first grader].

But because of his good performance in courses and excellent internship grades, he was given authority by Principal Angers to move freely between the four grades and go wherever he wanted.

Correspondingly, the exams are also different from those in the normal first year, and almost all the credits for four years of university courses must be completed within two semesters.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei has high intelligence and is still studying hard, otherwise he would have been ready to pack up and go back to A Zhong to play in the StarCraft professional game.

However, while reviewing, Lu Mingfei also chatted with Finkel a lot.

"Brother, where do you think Constantine's alchemy jar will be placed?"

"Hmm? ~~ In the deep cellar under our school library." Finkel crossed his legs and read a comic book. The cover of the comic book was a guy with short silver hair and natural curly hair, picking his nose with a wooden sword.

Finger laughed obscenely from time to time and casually explained to Lu Mingfei, "Junior brother, do you know that our school is a place with a long history? The deep cellar is where all kinds of important objects obtained from archaeological excavations are stored."

"It's said that there are even pharaohs from ancient Egypt. If you need relics from the Holy Grail War in the future, just ask the principal directly."

6
Lu Mingfei continued writing furiously while asking, "Is anyone allowed in and out during normal times?"

"Yes, the vice-principal, the principal, and a few old guys on the board of directors~"

Is it an illusion? When Finkel mentioned the school board, his tone was different from his usual casual and relaxed tone, and was a little low.

However, that feeling of incongruity was fleeting, and the next second, Finkel became nonchalant again.

"Why, Junior Brother, are you really going to start a Holy Grail War? Why are you asking so many details?"

"Nah"

Lu Mingfei was doing his homework at his desk. "I'm worried that someone might forcibly trigger Constantine's alchemy pot, causing the Dragon King to revolt. Isn't that a common plot in movies, where the seal inside Hogwarts is broken by someone with ulterior motives?"

"Hooho~"

Finkel pinched his chin.

"That's true, but that's unlikely. If we want to break into Cassel's cellar, we have to bypass Norma's defense network."

"And you've fought Norma before, so you should know how impregnable Castle will be when she goes all out and lets go."

"Ah."

Lu Mingfei nodded.

indeed.

Lu Mingfei is now the world's top hacker. Looking at the people he knows, there are only a handful of hackers in the cyberpunk world who can surpass Lu Mingfei.
Well, not necessarily.

Within the scope of activities in Night City, [Ultracanning] and [Spider Murphy] are definitely superior to Lu Mingfei, and Night City is just a cyberpunk city.

Although it is a city of dreams, it is not the only city. There are always people better than you. Other cities should also have their own legends, right?

Perhaps Lu Mingfei could rank in the top ten, or even the top twenty hackers, which would be pretty good.

As for Norma, this artificial intelligence, although no one knows how she was created, she is indeed a super artificial intelligence that is rare even in the later cyberpunk era.

With the resources of the secret party's board of directors, Norma should be able to expand freely.

As long as she wants, she can immediately transform into an intelligent weapon that destroys the world.

Fighting at home, even Lu Mingfei couldn't say he was 100% sure.

It should be foolproof, right?
-
On the day of the exam.

Lu Mingfei was awakened by Ultraman's color timer.

To be more precise, it was a crushed Ultraman-shaped alarm clock, its red and blue plastic shell still bearing the marks of a drunken Finger's large footprints. When the alarm went off, Tiga's face was beeping beneath his pillow, its dying struggle, like the gradually dimming flashlight after being kicked into the deep sea at the end of the film.

"I'm beginning to hate you, Giant of Light."

——If you want to hate your favorite thing, make it your ringtone.

Snapped!
Lu Mingfei stood up with his messy hair and threw the alarm clock into the trash can. The mirror reflected his dead eyes that looked like a zombie. Perhaps it was because Finger was still sleeping soundly behind him. He himself did not feel nervous at all. He finished washing up slowly and realized that it was almost time for the exam.

"I'm going to be late for the exam!"

"Excuse me, excuse me!"

The lady in the cafeteria waved the soup spoon and hit the iron pot, and the splashing oil droplets drew a trail like the Star of Bethlehem in the morning light.

Lu Mingfei rushed out of the door with a piece of bread in his mouth. He ran hurriedly. The students around him had already entered the examination room, and he was the only one running wildly in the empty corridor.

However, when he ran to the corner, he almost collided with two other people running from the aisle.

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

Lu Mingfei stopped and looked at the other two.

The three of them looked at each other and saw familiar colors in each other's eyes.

"hehe."

Lu Mingfei was the first to speak.

He held the bread in his mouth and asked softly, "Is it very strong?"

Chu Zihang: "If it's the final exam."

Caesar: "It's going to be a little tricky."

"Will you lose?"

Lu Mingfei asked again, and this time, he deliberately lowered his eyes slightly to make his vision sharper.

And facing this problem——

The three of them looked at each other, sparks flying across their eyes.

""Will win."""
-
The exam content in Kassel is quite difficult.

It's not a question of the amount of computation, but a question of its 'essence'.

The history of the dragon race is an unconfirmed history, all of which is speculation. Therefore, it cannot be simply memorized, but must be "inferred" based on the ideas of the textbook maker.

The difficulty of mechanical engineering far exceeds that of electrical engineering and automation, the most difficult engineering subject in a normal university. Dragon common sense, engineering theory, and even alchemy need to be studied specifically.

Lu Mingfei was concentrating intently. In fact, if he were to use the electric current to propel the machine, he should be able to think of some way to cheat.

But after all, these are all "knowledge", he thought it would be better for him to study them seriously.

He didn't know whether Caesar and Chu Zihang's declaration of "we will win" was true or not, but Lu Mingfei really had a good grasp of it.

Before he knew it, his mind was pouring out knowledge like flipping through a photo album.

Can you easily humiliate me even in the final exam? The magnetic field rotates, you Haki magnetic
Swish swish.
Lu Mingfei unexpectedly ended the battle on his side very quickly. When he looked up, there was still half an hour left before the end of the exam.

Then let’s check it out?
ridiculous.

The first time you write your answer, it's your own! The hyper-speed of cellular metabolism during the exam will make you no longer yourself after completing the test! Changing your first answer at this point would be a betrayal of your past self!

Lu Mingfei, feeling at ease and lazy, began to look around

Most of the students were still writing furiously, and no one was as idle as he was.

Apart from--

"Ok?"

Lu Mingfei made a very slight humming sound and suddenly froze.

As he looked ahead—

The person sitting in front of him also turned around.

That's a beautiful little beauty.

Her skin was coldly pale, and her blonde hair, so light it was almost pure white, was braided and tied into a bun on top of her head. Her slender neck and the overall light color made her look like an elegant white swan.

The two looked at each other.

It's as if time has stopped at this moment.

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt...
Know her yourself.

An indescribable throbbing broke into his little heart, throbbing violently.

In a galgame, the initial favorability would directly soar to sixty.

I am very touched!
So he subconsciously wrote a few words on the draft.

【How do you say it? Which question do you not know? 】

【If you want to copy, I'll teach you. 】

Eh? Is this an illusion?

Why do I feel that there is suddenly a subtlety in the eyes of this girl who looks like an ice sculpture?
