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

Chapter 32 Time is starting to speed up
Lu Mingfei almost forgot how he returned to Victor's clinic after the first mission.

He vaguely remembered that he was pressed on the operating table by Old Weitou to check the use of the prosthesis, and then Old Weitou asked him about the details of the task, and he explained to him with his nose turned up how he had demonstrated his skills.

Old Wei looked at him helplessly, and then began to help him screen the prosthesis silently.

then
Time begins to speed up

【Day 2】

Lu Mingfei still works as 'L' in Victor's shop. He learns basic prosthetics knowledge and practices driving skills at the same time. He doesn't know if the golden eyes stimulated some part of his brain, but Lu Mingfei feels that his driving skills are simply terrifying.

His ability to maneuver the drainage ditch around the bend at Akina Mountain was well-known throughout the delivery worker community, and Lao Weitou's customers were generous with their praise and positive reviews.

Newcomer L has slightly increased his street cred by being able to drift with his fragile eye prosthesis on the hood of his car without damaging the interior.

Day 3

Lu Mingfei, who was given a day off by Old Wei today, went to the abandoned car factory where David and others often went to receive training, mainly focusing on firearms, hand-to-hand combat, and the use of swords.

There was a party as usual in the evening. Lu Mingfei was taken to a bar by the mercenaries of David's team and tried strong alcohol for the first time in his life.

Super!!! It's so unpalatable!!!
Do normal people really like drinking?

Afterwards, Lu Mingfei, who woke up from a hangover, was told by David that he had caused a big scene in the bar last night because he was drunk, and shouted to a group of top mercenaries that he wanted to perform a show. So he took David's [King Kong] pistol and performed a show by knocking off the bikini knot of the bartender from the side without hurting her delicate skin.

It defies physics and amazes everyone.

Newcomer L significantly boosted his street cred by being able to "use a large-caliber pistol to knock off the bikini knot of a bartender without damaging her delicate skin."

【Day 4】

Lu Mingfei continued to work and went to the bar to play with David and others at night, but was abducted by Rebecca.

The violent loli has a good impression of Lu Mingfei, and especially likes to watch Lu Mingfei masturbating. Literally.

But she hated Lu Mingfei's always listless look, so she always patted the boy's butt to cheer him up. She also showed Lu Mingfei her gorilla arms and painted shotgun. One punch could break steel bars, and one shot could burst a fully stuffed tin can. Lu Mingfei was even more scared when she was held in her arms.

Day 5

Lu Mingfei was pulled away by David, and this workaholic took on another job. This time, Lu Mingfei was once again pulled away to work as an "all-rounder".

The mission was to fight with the Six Street Gang in the Santo Domingo area. The mission itself was not difficult, but Lu Mingfei's terrifying marksmanship would receive loud praise from Rebecca every time he used it.

Lu Mingfei is truly a pacifist and doesn't like killing, so every shot he shoots hits the opponent's knee accurately.

After the battle, the entire battlefield was horrific and hideous, with a group of flesh worms that could not get up overlapping each other, and the stench of infected wounds was deafening.

Afterwards, the Sixth Street Gang paid a price far exceeding that of a regular gunfight just to heal its members.

That night, Lu Mingfei was mentioned indirectly on Night City Radio.

Day 6

The excellent completion of the mission made Lu Mingfei once again favored by David's team. Rebecca often took Lu Mingfei, the "little brother", to chat with mercenary friends, but when David and Rebecca were not paying attention, Lu Mingfei was dragged away by other mercenaries to watch some "exciting" things.

That was the first time Lu Mingfei saw Black Mewtwo.

The so-called Black Mewtwo is probably just a very realistic first-person perspective VR experience? As you can imagine, this can easily develop into extreme content.

Very exciting.

Much more stimulating than alcohol.

Although he was caught by David afterwards, Lu Mingfei knew that David must have seen him many times when he saw the nostalgic look in the other party's eyes - he couldn't help but feel a little more familiar.

People are like this, even if their identities are so different, such as a student and a mayor - if one day you find out that the mayor also watches the adult action movies you like, an inexplicable sense of intimacy will definitely arise.

【Seventh day】

Lu Mingfei continued his hacker training journey. His growth plan had been determined. During the week, he would work with Victor for two days, be trained by David for two days, be trained by Qiwei and Lucy for two days, and have one day to rest.

I don't know why Lucy always looks very busy. Her training is all conducted online. Sometimes there is not even any interactive session, it is just a pure screen recording online class.

Qi Wei would take action herself and even attempt to hack into Lu Mingfei directly.

Qiwei and Lucy are both very powerful hackers. They have different areas of expertise, but they are both excellent.

The two of them always complain in class——

Complaining that Lu Mingfei doesn't have a hacker's [operating system].

But after Lu Mingfei showed off his "Sian Westin Hacker Style", both of them fell silent.

Thus, an unprecedented hacker was born - a violent hacker who did not use a hacker operating system, but used Sian Westin to perform time-stop close-range hacking.

Of course, because of Kem's publicity, Lu Mingfei's reputation in the underworld is still "a super hacker who is good at shooting pistols", and no one knows that he has Sian Westin.

"When I met you, I never thought we would have such a relationship."

In cyberspace, Lucy looked at Lu Mingfei practicing quick cracking with melancholy.

Once again, any hacker behavior in the cyber domain, such as breaking through walls or setting up puppets, has quite complex principles, but the operation is very emotional.

For example, breaking through a firewall is like being in a pure black space, walking, pushing down a wall, and pulling open a curtain - for hackers, doing these things is their instinct, just like eating and drinking water.

Other hackers were eating and drinking in cyberspace while enduring dozens of times the gravity, but Lu Mingfei felt like he was on the moon, with the magical melody of the cat meme playing in his mind.

"Don't talk nonsense, Big Sister. What do you mean by this or that relationship? It's easy for outsiders to misunderstand if they hear it!"

Lu Mingfei, who was practicing, kept checking or deleting the text stream jumping in front of him with his eyes flickering, and he still had time to chat with Lucy.

"I, Lu Mingfei, hate NTR the most! I, I, I, I, I, I'm a pure lover of the God of War! I really have no interest in my sister-in-law."

"What a mess." Lucy snorted and laughed. She knew that the boy in front of her had been interested in her before, but she also knew that he had no feelings for her at all now. Of course, she didn't either.

To her, Lu Mingfei was like the David of the past, and her former self, mixed with a bit of the novelty of taking care of a junior and a young apprentice.

There is a natural liking for it, but it is difficult to change.

"Don't worry, if you want to find a girlfriend, you should first change your hunchback habit."

"What are you talking about, big sister? I'm actually training! Back muscles also need time to grow. I'm still in my growth spurt!"

Lu Mingfei complained aggrievedly.

"Humph~"

(Although I'm talking about matters of the heart.)

In cyberspace, Lucy crossed her legs, smoked a cigarette, and chatted intermittently. She looked at Lu Mingfei, as if she could see into the boy's heart through the electronic flow data.

"Speaking of which, Big Sister, why don't you come to participate in the mission? The boss missed you very much."

After all, since they joined the group, Lu Mingfei usually called David the boss, and the boss's wife was naturally the big sister - at first she was called sister-in-law, but it seems that this term is not popular among them.

Having an awkward atmosphere with your sister-in-law is one of the most terrifying things in the world, so Lu Mingfei took the initiative to start the conversation.

"There's work to do."

".What can't you tell the boss?"

"Why, did he ask you to come?"

"No, but I like to get involved in other people's romantic comedies," Lu Mingfei said seriously. "You may not know this, but I'm a total loser in love. Losers are very sensitive to love, but they don't feel much about life and death. But after a breakup, I can still think about it until I'm forty and have children. I'll also publish several novels about my secret crush on the senior schoolmate, and then enjoy the pain of youth."

Pan Hong Oh, that’s not right.

Warm water: sent.

"You who are free"

Lucy was used to Lu Mingfei's nonsense. She smoked a cigarette, didn't answer, but just urged him hoarsely.

"Keep doing what you're doing. Don't stop."

"I've already told you, Big Sister, that your words are easily misunderstood."

Day 8

Lu Mingfei counted the days. Half a month had passed in Night City, but he showed no signs of returning to the real world.

He also thought about whether he would not be able to go back. He was a little scared at first, but when he thought about it again
It seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

Although he was scared to death at first about Night City, now he has Victor who is closer than his family, the mysterious and gentle Misty as his friend, and a group of mercenary friends whose relationship with him cannot be said to be good, but it should not be bad.

Well, Lu Mingfei still doesn’t know what his relationship is with David and others. After all, he is just a temporary worker.

However, he was still very grateful to David and Lucy for indirectly saving his life.

As I thought about this, something gradually changed.

Lu Mingfei vaguely realized something.

It is [Scenery]

Time flowed slowly, but Lu Mingfei felt that these few short days were constantly stretching and extending, because the more than ten years of his previous life were not even a little bit as exciting as these ten days in Night City.

He still remembers those.

A ground covered in vomit and dried brains.

Slowly flashing traffic lights.

A homeless man comforting himself with a Fiji cup at the street corner.

Principal Arasaka who mocked him and Tanaka who resented him.

Those landscapes were gradually burned by fireworks.

What remains are David's undisguised care, Rebecca's generous invitation, Lucy's cold-outside-but-warm-hearted teaching, the instant noodles she eats with Old Wei after returning home, and the boxing matches on TV.

The scenery has changed.

In the so-called real world, he is just a humble boy who is forgotten by his parents, bullied by his adoptive family, and a clown in school. He also likes to sit on the balcony and watch the cars passing by in the distance at night, lamenting the pain of his youth.

But what about in Night City?
He is a rising star. He is good at hacking, swords, and guns. He swears that he has never been so enthusiastic about learning so many technologies. The reason is that as long as he works hard, he will be rewarded. The comrades around him will pat him on the back and say "well done" after the mission, and then show him their private collection of Black Mewtwo.

Well done?

The simple affirmation made Lu Mingfei feel unfamiliar.

very nice.

It would be better if it could continue.

Of course, it's easy to imagine that this is just the most crude and simple flag.

In Night City, nothing goes smoothly for anyone.

In the near future, Lu Mingfei will once again deeply understand this.
