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

Chapter 45 Apology Banquet

Since joining David Martinez's team, this abandoned factory has been lit up as a landmark by Lu Mingfei. If it is put in the game, it has changed from an abandoned factory to - [Abandoned Factory]. A symbol must be added to prove its importance.

After each mission, they would celebrate here. Many mercenaries who had worked with them before would come to support them, and everything was paid for by Young Master David.

Lu Mingfei looked around and didn't see David at first glance, but he saw several other old acquaintances.

"Yo, Falco."

"Hmm? Oh oh!————Look, our little hero is back~"

Falco, still wearing a suit, looked more like an employee of an Italian suit handmade shop than a professional gangster driver. He had obviously been drinking for some time, and his face flushed when he saw Lu Mingfei.

He patted Lu Mingfei on the back, vomited words from the depths of his throat, and boasted to the mercenaries around him.

"I used to doubt whether you had enough time to grow up—but it seems my judgment of people has always been wrong. Whether it was Mann and David back then or now, the young people today are really getting more and more powerful!"

Lu Mingfei also laughed dryly and toasted with Falco. Of course, they didn't notice that Lu Mingfei was drinking a carbonated drink.

He doesn't like drinking.

After chatting for a while, Lu Mingfei ran to another place. There were two or three circles of people gathered there. They raised their hands above their heads and applauded, as if they were enjoying some art performance. The atmosphere was very lively.

"Hey!! Hey! Hey!!!!"

Lu Mingfei jumped up slightly and looked inside, and sure enough, it was Rebecca.

Using gorilla arms to juggle grenades like toy balls in circus performances, with his usual crazy smile on his face, this dangerous little game made the cyberpunks' adrenaline surge and they all came to support it.

Lu Mingfei had no intention of disturbing them, but as soon as he approached, someone recognized Lu Mingfei's identity.

"I'm super! L!"

Hearing others shouting his nickname so loudly, Lu Mingfei began to regret choosing this name.

They don’t really think I’m a second-dimensional person, do they? (worry)
Being pushed to the innermost layer of the crowd, Lu Mingfei looked a little embarrassed.

It’s not because he doesn’t like this kind of performance, but because he is a little scared.

What are you afraid of?
"Hmm? Oh~ here you are?"

Rebecca, who was still performing, suddenly became sharp in her eyes when she saw Lu Mingfei, and even the movements of her gorilla gloves slowed down.

Hey, don't be slow!

Lu Mingfei hurried forward amid the horrified gazes of the crowd and grabbed the grenade with inhuman precision.

——The speed was so fast that even he couldn't believe it. Although he hadn't opened his golden eyes, his physical ability seemed to have improved slightly at this moment.

But it hurts! The wound hasn't healed yet!

But before he could feel the pain of chewing flesh, Rebecca grabbed Lu Mingfei's collar first. Scared Lu Mingfei so much that he quickly put the grenade into his trouser pocket and raised his hands in surrender.

"Sister, sister, sister! No, no, no, no, no!"

"Huh?" Rebecca threatened harshly, "Where's the courage you had when you carried me on your back and went to commit suicide with the Uzumaki Gang? Ah! Weren't you quite brave back then? You didn't even bother to discuss it with your teammates!"

It’s over.

Seeing this, the mercenaries who had been surrounding them just now immediately scattered like birds and beasts, pretending to gather into small groups to drink and chat, but their eyes were still paying attention to the situation here.

"That was an emergency!" Lu Mingfei didn't care about others and just tried to argue, but Rebecca still tied her neck roughly and forced her to pat the other's gorilla arm and beg for forgiveness.

"In an emergency, you choose one person to be the bait, right? You're really capable!!" Rebecca was even more aggressive.

"This"

Lu Mingfei had no way to defend himself.

But he wasn't uncomfortable.

Rebecca's big reaction only confirmed that all the things he thought about before his death were nonsense. If Rebecca really just regarded Lu Mingfei as a stranger with whom she had a few words, she wouldn't be so angry. Hey.

"why are you laughing!"

"Sorry sorry!!"

Lu Mingfei quickly apologized and simply waited for the punishment with his eyes closed - but surprisingly, the irritable loli just rubbed Lu Mingfei's clothes roughly and let him go.

"Tsk, there won't be a next time."

"oh oh!"

"There are no cowards among mercenaries." Rebecca said coldly.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself - who said that? It's me.

"you are not."

I'm super, mind reading!

"Don't let your thoughts show on your face, idiot." Rebecca shook her hand and turned her back to Lu Mingfei, leaving a final word, "But welcome back to this hell of the trench alive. Don't forget to take me with you next time you die."

What a lucky mouth.
Looking at Rebecca's receding back, Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew he had passed this level.

So he scratched his head awkwardly and greeted the mercenaries who were watching the fun around him. After receiving looks of "I understand", he walked towards the bar counter.

It is called a bar counter, but in fact it is just an abandoned car hood used as a bar counter. Combined with the flowing lights strung together like a chain and the shaking red wine glasses, it is quite interesting.

Lu Mingfei patted someone's back and said stiffly, "Teacher, thank you for this time."

"Ok?"

The man turned around with a drink still in his mouth.

When her visor was open, she looked a bit like a Pokémon monster like Mouth, but when she saw how heartily she drank, that illusion disappeared in an instant.

Qi Wei closed her armor, put down her wine glass, and nodded to Lu Mingfei.

"Oh, you're welcome. I just think it's more reasonable to keep you as a talent." Qi Wei shook her head.

"Don't trust me just because of this. Although I can't call you a teacher, since you like to call me that, then don't forget the first content of the first lesson I taught you—"

Qi Wei blinked her cold eyes.

"The only person you can trust in Night City is yourself."

"learn by heart!"

Lu Mingfei saluted, and Qi Wei chuckled and waved him away, then turned around and continued drinking.

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief again, and this time, he walked towards the edge of the venue.

Qi Wei, who stayed where she was, stirred the glass rod in her hand, somewhat lost in thought.

The only person she can trust is herself. Although this is how she taught both Lucy and Lu Mingfei, Lucy also grew up to be a qualified cyber hacker as she wished.

But
(But would Lu Mingfei choose to become bait at that moment?)

Sure enough, that kid's brain is different from ours.
"It's so enviable."

Feeling emotional, Qi Wei raised her glass and held the vodka mixed with lemon high in the air. The silver-gray moonlight reflected and refracted on the wall of the glass, shining like a diamond.

The woman raised her head and drank the drink in her hand.
