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

Chapter 22 You opened my box, right?

I ain't your average sicko

I'm dead, just like disco

Heavy music shook the ground, and in the distance came the sounds of bottles colliding and people laughing and playing. Torches were thrown into abandoned iron barrels to burn the waste, illuminating a dark corner of Night City with primitive flames.

This is the gathering place for cyberpunks, who use their swaying dance moves, cold beer and fresh prosthetics as topics of conversation, indulging in short-lived happiness.

Chaotic, but closer to the 'reality' that Lu Mingfei had in mind.

Lu Mingfei huddled in a corner of the "banquet," holding a can of carbonated drink in his hand. It wasn't Coca-Cola or Pepsi, but a brand he didn't know.

He took a sip of the drink in one hand and grabbed the Yakitori skewers with the other, his expression dazed as he tried to recall why he was there.

About half an hour ago, Lu Mingfei and David Martinez were still staring at each other with their golden eyes in the car.

Lu Mingfei learned information about the "Golden Eyes" from the surprised David.

——The urban legend is indeed true.

In Night City, top mercenaries often mean a large number of prosthetic implants.

However, the large number of prosthetic implants requires their talents to bear.

Such "gifted" people are often considered "special". At critical moments, they can burst out with extraordinary willpower, and even change their physical abilities, improving the "five major items" in a short period of time.

That’s the case with David Martinez.

Lu Mingfei seemed to think so too.

Maybe it's because they both have this... uh, dominant trait? They seem to like each other more.

Both sides were reasonable people. David and his friends had originally planned to take Lu Mingfei back to Watson District and let him go.

As a result, there was a little accident along the way.

Because Lucy's situation was an emergency, before she asked David for help, David and others had just completed an order and were preparing to celebrate. After receiving the call for help, they hurriedly drove the Swan Westin over.

After the work is done, we will go back to the celebration party.

But seeing that Lu Mingfei was so capable, before David could say anything, the little girl in the front seat suddenly spoke.

"Hey! David! Since we're so destined to meet, why not ask that guy to come join our celebration party!"

"No, Rebecca, we have them all."

"Hey! Are you coming, little brother?"

Interrupting David, the little girl in the front seat raised her head and shouted.

To be honest, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt two distinctly different "atmospheres" in the car.

Lucy and David both seemed to find him inexplicably pleasing to the eye, but neither of them seemed to want to have anything to do with Lu Mingfei.

Among the other three people, except for the driver who didn't speak, the little Lolita and Qiwei beside her seemed to want to get in touch with Lu Mingfei.

why?
Lu Mingfei, who was not yet an old hand in Night City, had not figured out the difference, but he knew one thing, that is, he had not yet made up a reason to deceive Old Wei about why he had used the supplements, and
"Um, is there any food for the celebration party?"

After opening the golden eyes.

He is really hungry.

------------

When I came to my senses, Lu Mingfei had already joined the celebration banquet.

But Lucy didn't care about him, and David went after Lucy, and suddenly he became a lonely patient.

At the celebration banquet, many mercenaries looked Lu Mingfei up and down with scrutinizing expressions, and then revealed subtle looks.

[The person brought back by the boss]

Everyone was undecided, so naturally they wouldn't rush forward.

So after Lu Mingfei stood there awkwardly for a few minutes, he couldn't help but ask the chef for some food and drink, then sat in the corner and started to withdraw.

He planned to slip away after the meal and treat his encounter with David and his group as a chance encounter.

He ate the yakitori skewers with his mouth full of oil, which was embarrassing.
"Golden Eyes? Lu Mingze, are you there?"

"Hey, I'm here, bro."

As expected, Lu Mingze's voice rang in Lu Mingfei's ears.

The little devil seemed to have really taken Lu Mingfei's words to heart and basically never showed up when other people were around.

Lu Mingze imitated Lu Mingfei, took out the yakitori skewers and a drink, and savored them with relish. At the same time, he said, "I know what you want to ask. Do golden eyes exist in your world? My answer is yes, they do."

"."

Lu Mingfei felt that the situation was becoming increasingly confusing.

Your world has dragon blood, golden eyes, and everything?
So what is the relationship between this cyberpunk and our own world?
Could it really be the future? — Unfortunately, Lu Mingze would definitely not answer his question directly, and the historical nodes didn't seem to match.

However, since it exists, are beings like me with dragon blood scattered or have formed an organization?

Will people with ignited golden eyes be attracted to each other? Lu Mingfei thinks so.

Because the moment he saw David Martinez, he felt an inexplicable closeness?

Is it like seeing a fellow human in Iceland, which is full of penguins?
If this is a natural induction, then in his own world, those of his kind who have dragon blood in their bodies and can ignite golden eyes should also gather together naturally.

We need to go back and investigate to find out the origin and characteristics of these [special] things.
There are not many special people in Night City. Only the top mercenaries are qualified to light up the golden eyes. David has not been in the industry for long, but it is precisely because of this special nature that so many people are willing to follow him, and so many experienced mercenaries are willing to follow him.

such as
"Is it noisy?"

Qi Wei sat down next to Lu Mingfei, holding a glass of sparkling wine in her hand, and she reached out and clinked glasses with Lu Mingfei.

"cheers."

"Oh, oh oh!"

Lu Mingfei was slow to react and clinked glasses with her before answering her first sentence.

"It's not as noisy as Night City. It feels like everywhere is pretty much the same."

"Haha, that's because you haven't been to many places."

Qi Wei poured the wine into her face armor, and she didn't know where it flowed into her throat, and her brows became much more relaxed.

Qi Wei's voice was a little low because of the face armor, and combined with her cold temperament, it seemed a little inhuman.

"Huh~ But you are quite brave. You were abducted by mercenaries to such a far place. It's a wonder you didn't get scared." Qi Wei turned her head to look at Lu Mingfei.

"Ha, after all, Senior David has Sian Westin, I can't hide even if I want to."

"A wise choice." Qi Wei shrugged. She didn't notice Lu Mingfei's strange address.

"Well, let's talk about something else. Like I said, I'm quite curious about you personally."

"Because I'm the child of an Arasaka employee?"

"That's about right. I originally thought you might have some rare stuff from the company, but now it seems that you are truly special." Qi Wei did not hide.

"By the way, I checked your background. You don't mind, do you?"

Background? What is my background? How can you find out?
Just as Lu Mingfei was about to ask, he heard Qi Wei casually say, "Lu Mingfei, my father is Lu Lincheng, and my mother is Qiao Weini. They were former employees of Arasaka Corporation. They originally lived near the Arasaka waterfront factory in Watson District, in a house rented by my aunt and uncle. I recently moved to the cyborg doctor Victor's clinic on Bradbury Street and work as a delivery driver. I'm known as Victor's errand boy and call myself L."

I'm super, box.

Lu Mingfei's face turned pale immediately.

So scary, is this you cyber hackers? How come you can get out so quickly?
"Don't be nervous, this is just the most basic information. I didn't check anything else."

"Besides, now that I've said that, I think you should know why I came to see you, right?"

Qiwei nodded to her own wine glass.

"Want to be a cyberpunk? L."

Who?
Lu Mingfei blinked, then tilted his head forward slightly, pointed at himself, and had a subtle pursed expression on his face.

"I?"
