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

Chapter 47 Shadow of the Past

You are right, but Cyberpunk 2076 is a brand new open world adventure game independently developed by OOOO.

The game takes place in a fantasy world called "Night City", where mercenaries chosen by God will be granted "Golden Eyes" to guide the power of prosthetics - the following is omitted.

All in all, in an open-world adventure game, triggering a conversation and then chatting with the character after the mission is completed to unlock the memory plot is a must-try part.

If I don't recall, how can I know the secret behind the beautiful girl, how can I find the way to conquer her, and how can I let Toei Animation delay time?
However, the story Lu Mingfei got from David was not a good one, and there was no unexpected plot development.

It is the story of an ordinary boy and an ordinary mercenary.

When David was young, less than a year ago, he became an orphan who lost his mother before Lu Mingfei, and then, like Lu Mingfei, he also received the "gift" from his mother before her death.

Stolen [Military Grade Sian Westin]

The model is also unknown, but the power is real.

After experiencing bullying from a classmate (a certain Tanaka), his mother's body being stolen by a kidney-stripper, and the loss of his home, the teenager, who already had a rock-punk hairstyle, finally decided to rebel against Night City.

David Martinez's life as a mercenary began when he met Lucy.

A romantic love story should have unfolded here, but Lu Mingfei didn't want to hear it, so he skipped it. The conclusion is that through Lucy, David met his former boss, who was also Lu Mingfei's former former boss.

"His name is Mann, and he's very good at leading a team."

David told the story slowly.

"Unlike now, during Mann's time, our team had more people, including [Technical Experts] and [Double Hackers]. We were known for our teamwork, and we quickly rose from ordinary mercenaries to the next level."

"At that time, I was just a young boy, relying purely on Sian Westin to show off my power."

David looked up at the moon. Although Lu Mingfei felt that he did not miss his loved ones when he saw the moon, perhaps he felt a little bit sad and nostalgic.

"Mann took good care of me."

"In a sense, the Sian Westin in me was stolen from Mann, but even so, he was willing to give me a chance, find someone to train me, let me participate in missions. He even said to me, 'If I die, I will give you the prosthetic body.'"

David raised his hand and looked at his arm - the [Gorilla Boxing Gloves] and [Projectile Launching System] were both high-end stuff.

"Then." Lu Mingfei asked cautiously. In fact, he probably guessed the result. After all, David was the boss here now.

But there is a one percent, or one thousandth, chance that this former boss might have retired?

This possibility—

"Then he died."

Sure enough it didn't.

This is the cruel Night City.

It is impossible not to breed tragedy.

The chances of a mercenary retiring peacefully were less than three percent, and David's former boss wasn't among them.

"He went crazy. Installing too many prosthetics led to mental disorder. He went berserk during the mission, killing his companions and even nearly killing me."

It was a cruel reality, but David was calm as if he was talking about someone else's business.

"This is perfectly normal in Night City. No one can save everything they want."

Lu Mingfei felt that he probably had more to say.

"even so."

Sure enough, David did not show anger. Instead, he withdrew his gaze from the moon and looked at the dark river that was still flowing. He gently closed his fingers and clenched his fist.

"Even so, when he recalled everything before he died, he still wanted me to leave."

"He said, 'I am special, I am good at running. So I keep running, keep running.'"

"He finished there, and then handed the prosthetic body and his dream to me."

Kaka.

The gorilla gloves made continuous noises due to the strength of David's fist. The man, who had transformed most of his body into a machine, once again made Lu Mingfei feel the pressure of their first meeting.

The madness of climbing up regardless of the consequences and the heavy awareness.

"I hope I am special. No, I must be special, because my mother, Mann, and my deceased companions all hope so. They keep telling me that they hope I can do something for this city."

The fist is facing the buildings on the other side of the river.

There, the company's advertisements were still playing, bright and colorful with neon lights, as if mocking the mercenaries in the gutter.

but.
"So, Ming Fei."

"Ok?"

David turned around and spoke to his junior with a faint smile.

"Don't just think about saving me."

"."

"Don't do anything like this mission again, and never give up on yourself."

"Uh me."

"Just follow the rules of Night City. That goes for you, Qiwei, Falco, Rebecca, and Lucy," the man said gravely. "As long as you follow the rules of Night City, it doesn't matter if you don't trust each other, and it doesn't matter if you betray each other."

"As the boss, I will protect you - this is my duty as the leader of the team."

After saying that, David smiled.

That was the first time Lu Mingfei saw a smile on this man's face that matched his age.

".It's strange to say this at this time, but Boss, your innocent smile is better used on Big Sister Lucy. It's wasted on me."

"is it?"

David had grown accustomed to Lu Mingfei's ramblings, handling them with ease and even gradually finding the humor in them. The two exchanged glances, trying to suppress their laughter as they leaned back against the railing, gazing out at the neon city in the distance.

".Boss, you've said so much, it's my turn now."

"Ah."

"Then I... I'm a troublesome little kid."

"Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden? Everyone knows it." David couldn't help but laugh. "That's actually your strength. Everyone loves to hear you talk trash."

"Really?! Ahem, listen to me. Anyway, the premise is this. I'm not sure why. It could be childhood trauma, or family background. Anyway, that's the situation."

Lu Mingfei was stuttering incoherently, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that David's ability to speak freely must have been acquired as a boss.

"In short! I'm in trouble!" the boy concluded roughly.

"I'm a bad kid, a rare bad boy in a thousand years. Boss, you've saved me more than once, right? So you better listen carefully!"

Lu Mingfei took a breath and said in a deep voice.

"—If you treat me well, you will be in big trouble."

"I'm useless and pretentious. Even at the critical moment of life and death, I might have to recite my youth essay several times. I like to look at the neon lights at night and think about the pain of youth. I'm a coward, like to talk nonsense, and I'm afraid of fighting. But..."

The boy spoke very quickly.

"But if anything happens to you, I will definitely go to save you. I'm just a loser, so I might hesitate for a long time, but I will definitely go."

"Because you helped me first, I will definitely try my best to help you. But as I said before, I'm useless, so if I go, I'll probably just get in the way. Who knows, I might even end up making things worse. You have to be prepared for this."

Scratching his head, Lu Mingfei suppressed his awkwardness and spoke out what he was thinking.

"Yeah."

Lu Mingfei didn't look at David's expression. The two of them just continued to look at the city in the distance at the same time.

Looking at the prosperous and decadent city, David sighed.

"As expected, you don't look like someone from here."

But this is better.

"Come on! Mingfei!"

David suddenly raised his voice and spoke loudly towards the tall building in the distance.

"This time, it's a formal invitation. Come to my place." He turned his head, tilted his face, and made an invitation.

"I need you."

Lu Mingfei swore that he was in need of love. If someone dared to say to him, "Come here! Lu Mingfei, I need you!", he would be willing to work overtime for that person, even if it meant risking his life.

"."

Sharp spires and tall buildings like dense forests, they are piled up one after another, cutting the sky into an extremely narrow space. The golden light is woven into a birdcage, imprisoning one person after another, and the prisoners stuff themselves into the already full train, spinning in place as if escaping.

That picture is really ugly.

Lu Mingfei did not answer David for a moment. He just looked at the headquarters of Arasaka Tower in the distance and thought in a corner of his heart.

So, if that tallest building disappeared, would we be able to see a wider sky?
【Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! 】

"Okay, stop swearing and tell me what happened first."

The eco-dome on the 77th floor of Arasaka Tower is simulating an autumn dusk. V is leaning against the imitation bamboo guardrail, twirling the frosted bottom of the glass of soda and whiskey with his left ring finger.

Familiar curse words rang out from the other end of the communication, mixed with the roar of the hovercraft unique to Night City's viaduct.

[V! You have no idea what I've been through! So cool! So fucking cool! Have you heard of it?! The story of mercenary L—]

"I've heard it before, and I've tasted it many times here."

V replied in a lazy tone. She looked at the endless neon waterfall flowing beneath her feet, and suddenly flicked the glass beads of soda into the air.

The azure bead passed through the shadows of three holographic goldfish and landed precisely in the garbage recycling port of the cleaning robot.

"It was a mercenary named L who rushed into the Whirlpool Gang and rescued you, right? That's impressive, impressive! But rather than that, I want to ask you, why didn't you contact me first when such a big thing happened?"

【Uh, this is not important.】

The voice on the other end suddenly became lower.

"Forget about you, but what about Lao Wei and Misty? They don't remember me either, right?" V touched his wine glass with a depressed look. "Or do they think I'm unreliable because I work for the company?"

[No, no, no! Absolutely not!]

"You know, you're just too excited to think straight. Mom doesn't want to cause you any trouble."

"hehe."

V shook her head, her short cobalt blue hair splitting the warm halo like a tempered blade, and the neon purple highlights at the ends of her hair flowed as she turned her head.

"Well, then let's just say I owe that mercenary a favor. After all, he saved one of my few friends. L, right? Which regiment is he from—"

[Hey, the team isn't important! He'll be a famous figure in Night City soon anyway! Just wait and see! I'm telling you—]

Before V could say anything, Jack on the other side continued to chatter.

V laughed a little. She knew that her friend was probably really a crazy fan of L. It was a pity that V had too much work to do and she was too lazy to learn about the background distribution of today's street thugs.

If you are really that powerful, then climb up.

Climb to the level where you can talk to the company.
