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

Chapter 48 Dragon Clan, Your Emperor is Back

Time passes quietly.

[One month]

Two months

Three months

Lu Mingfei felt that he seemed to have completely integrated into this city.

In the first month, he tried his best just to learn the basics, and finally became a "qualified Night City resident" three months later.

He no longer finds it strange and disgusting to see homeless people using Fiji cups to apply glue on the street. He can eat ramen with cockroach corpses, and he is familiar with all the firearms on the market.

David's team became completely famous, and the blood feud between them and the Whirlpool Gang could no longer be resolved.

For a long time, both sides exchanged fire upon sight. Because the Vortex Gang came across the region to seek revenge, Faraday, the middleman in the area where David and others were located, was also forced to become enemies with the Vortex Gang.

Generally speaking, the middleman will distance himself from the matter, but the situation is different when the other party has already jumped on the bandwagon. Just like a brothel owner may not treat prostitutes well, but she has to stand up when her subordinates are bullied.

Night City's underworld is in turmoil.

The big conflict between Faraday's forces and the Vortex Gang dragged everyone into it.

And Lu Mingfei
He kept receiving missions, and again and again he served as mercenary L to complete the missions assigned by the "big guys" in his next life.

Because of his [specialness], he could even often leave David's team and perform lone wolf missions. In fact, starting from the second month, people began to look for [L] to do work.

His fame continued to spread, and he became the most sought-after mercenary in Night City.

He started to learn Night City slang.

He started to take a habit of watching Black Mewtwo to relax with his fellow mercenaries after their missions.

In the third month
【now】

"This mission was also completed beautifully, L."

“Thank you for your patronage~”

Night, Night City, Kabuki District.

Lu Mingfei was talking to an old woman in her fifties in a rather dim room. He quickly counted the wages and made an 'ok' gesture.

"It's just a delivery, it's nothing."

"Haha, being able to hold out for half an hour with a bunch of nonsense after being stopped by the NCPD, taking away contraband without a fight, and even adding an NCPD officer as a friend on their personal account, I don't think that's 'nothing.'"

The middleman named Wakako looked at the boy in front of her with a smile.

He has messy black-brown hair and a seemingly lazy face, but if you look closely you will find that his eyebrows and eyes are actually very distinctive, and he is a beautiful boy with a weak scholarly type.

This is the type of place that is unexpectedly popular with customers in Kabukicho.

But this handsome young man who looks old is indeed a well-deserved big shot among mercenaries today.

L, Lu Mingfei, is also known as the "Bad Talk Machine", "Watson District Socialite" and "Victor's Errand Boy" on the street.

He initially gained notoriety because of his feud with the Whirlpool Gang, and later he and David Rebecca had a Dance of Death, killing everyone but escaping safely. This incident directly topped the street news list.

Since then, it has become famous for its extremely high completion rate of tasks and its avoidance of unnecessary complications. It is law-abiding, controllable, reliable, and even somewhat approachable.

Wakako liked this young man very much.

"You and David, I can't believe two such talented people have come together. The entire mercenary market will probably change because of you."

"That's a dirty compliment!" Lu Mingfei fiddled with the Japanese doll next to him and waved his hands, "I'm not trying to change the world. I'm just trying to make some money."

"If you don't plan to, what about your eldest brother? If he wants to do something big, will you not help?"

".Miss Wakako, did anyone say that this room is a little dark? How about I bring you some lanterns? Festive!"

"Hahaha, your messy personality is also well-known in the underworld."

Swah——

The electronic door closed, and the boy rushed into the brightly lit street corner.

Unlike the dull atmosphere inside the store, the entire Kabuki area is filled with "pink" colors, revealing women, bright red kimonos, and some antique wooden buildings. Even the holographic projections are made of fluttering white ribbons.

As soon as Lu Mingfei appeared, some mercenaries who were about to take over the mission from Wakako recognized him. The young men immediately stood at attention, pretending not to see him, but they couldn't take their eyes off him.

Lu Mingfei was used to these gazes, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and his mind was still thinking about what happened before.

"Huh, what an old fox."

Only after leaving the house did Lu Mingfei dare to criticize He Gezi in his heart.

(As a middleman, his methods are good and he is trustworthy and worth cooperating with, but after seeing so much, the experience is still the best.)

Lu Mingfei crossed his arms and rubbed his arms to show his fear.

"You say so, brother."

"Please call me 'dear brother' or 'Lu Mingze'. If you want to be more intimate, I can also accept 'Mingze'."

Three months have passed, and the little devil is still in Lu Mingfei's mind.

His attitude towards David and the others was still very bad. In contrast, in the past few months, he just watched Lu Mingfei grow up silently without any expression.

There seems to be nothing else from the devil's gift except the initial "Don't Die".

Oh, right.

After three months of training, Lu Mingfei's current attribute panel is -

[Character: Lu Mingfei]

【Properties Panel】

[Physical]: 7
【Reaction】: 9
[Intelligence]: 13
【Technical capability】: 5
Calm: 6
Great progress.

If Lu Mingfei was a weakling with hacking talent when he first arrived in Night City, he is now a qualified first-class mercenary.

Far ahead of its peers!
"Brother, are you going to continue taking on missions recently?"

"Hmm? Oh, then what?"

"Where's dinner?"

"Chicken meatballs."

"Brother, you know that's not chicken at all, right?"

"You have to eat that too."

Lu Mingfei had unknowingly gotten used to having such a younger brother by his side, and even learned to communicate in his head. The two chatted quite frequently. If Lu Mingze could be seen by outsiders one day, they might really think that they were a pair of brothers with a good relationship.

at the same time--

【Didi Didi】

A communication request appeared in the corner of my vision.

After noticing this, Lu Mingfei shifted his gaze and confirmed the object.

[Contact: Lucy] When the call is connected, Lucy's profile picture will also appear in the upper left corner
"Hey, hey, hey, big sister, what's going on? I won't run errands for you to buy beer anymore~"

[I bought some puppets for you, come pick them up when you have time]

"Hey, I'll give it a try next time I go."

【Well, do you want to come to our house for dinner today? 】

When Lucy refers to our home, she means her and David's home.

It's strange to say this, after all, normal mercenary partnerships wouldn't be so good as to disturb someone else's home. It's just that the relationship between Lu Mingfei and David Lucy is rather peculiar.

Time will wear away everything without us noticing, but it will also create new traces.

Lu Mingfei, Lucy and David basically hit it off from the moment they met. After a series of accidents, they opened their hearts and unlocked the memory cg. Now three months have passed.

It's strange to say this, but maybe this is what they call love at first sight? There are always times when you see someone you like in a crowd, and you might find your friends out of nowhere.

The relationship between the three was so good that they didn't seem like mercenary comrades, so much so that the rumor that "Lu Mingfei was Lucy's illegitimate son" became more and more intense.

After all, no one knew Lucy's age.

Moreover, Lu Mingfei’s last name is “Lu”, and Lucy’s last name is also “Lu”.

The argument still refers to Cheng Kun.

The parties involved will deny it.

"Today? Ah. Sorry, I have something to do today."

Lu Mingfei laughed dryly and scratched his cheek nervously.

"What's going on? Let me think about it. You wouldn't take the initiative to practice shooting, so it must be that you have an appointment with someone else."

[I remember Rebecca and Qiwei have other jobs recently, so as for the others, Lu Mingfei, don't tell me you agreed to go to Genting to play with women with those sons of bitches.]

[Intelligence that can be unlocked now]

【Genting】

[The top-tier entertainment venues in Night City. Here, you can find the most advanced sex dolls, and they can transform into any appearance you want. Believe me, once you come here, you will never forget this place. After all, their skills are really amazing.]

Of course Lu Mingfei was invited here.

What, isn’t Lu Mingfei a pure and innocent young man?

Well, he doesn't care. He never does.

Although Lu Mingfei is not that interested in sex dolls, he will still go for a walk and watch as a spectator if invited.

However, Lucy seemed very dissatisfied.

[Don't be like those idiots. Running out of bullets and heading to the battlefield will only lead to your death.]

If you want to find a woman, just go to the city and chat her up.

[Even if it's a bar, it's fine, but you have to observe carefully]

Lucy's nagging was completely different from three months ago, and Lu Mingfei could only smile awkwardly.

Are you my mother?
"Ah, yes, yes."

Lucy: [Are you impatient? Wait, David! ———Lu Mingfei said he wants to go to Genting!]

David: I'll take care of this.

This "parents" managed Lu Mingfei very strictly. He didn't dare to continue to provoke Lucy. He nodded frequently and closed the channel.

Only then did the devil add a few laughs.

"hehe."

"You two have a really good relationship, brother, but it seems to me that they're projecting their own fantasies onto you. How despicable!" Lu Mingze stuck out his tongue, looking nauseous. "They're treating you like a substitute for the symbol of 'family.'"

Hey, don't call me a jerk! — Lu Mingfei would have said this now, but Lu was clearly even more mean. He spread his hands and shook his shoulders up and down with a bored look. "Well said, who says meal replacements can't be eaten as meals? What's wrong with me, Lu Mingfei, helping others? When I accumulate merit and die and go to heaven, I will definitely complain to God about how you, a little devil, tempted me."

".He'll be happy that you resisted temptation."

Lu Mingze curled the corners of his mouth.

"Of course. If that's not enough, there's still Plan B. If my merits aren't good enough to send me to hell, then I'll acknowledge Satan as the boss and complain that all the devil business in hell should be taken over by succubi."

Lu Mingfei looked Lu Mingze up and down.

"If that were the case, I would have already completed the transaction, and Lucy wouldn't have to worry about me going to Genting."

".Brother, has anyone ever told you that you're awkward when you talk crap?"

"Stop talking nonsense. At least ten thousand people have said that."

Lu Mingfei let out a breath and looked at Lu Mingze.

"So, let's get down to business?"

In the lower right corner of his vision.
【00:00:32】

That familiar countdown.

Already in place.

About a week ago, Lu Mingfei noticed that the countdown was about to come to an end.

If we go by previous experience.
The moment the countdown ends, Lu Mingfei will return to his original world.

That quiet and peaceful era without Night City.

He had no means to stop this, but this time, Lu Mingfei's mentality was extremely positive. He had neither the joy of escaping from the devil's cave nor the fear of being home.

"Let's go back home."

after all
He had lived so hard.

In that peaceful world, what was there for him to be afraid of?
[Drip drip drip drip]

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes.

I see.
The strangely familiar ceiling, and...
"Hey, Lu Mingfei, what are you doing? It's so late and you're still sleeping. You're going to be late."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Mingfei turned his head blankly, looked at the source of the voice, and then spoke subconsciously.

"Lu Mingze"

"Well, what's wrong?"

My younger brother answered me as usual.

but.
But
It’s not the little devil in a suit, but Lu Mingze who is 160cm tall and weighs cm.

Ha ha.

"haven't seen you for a long time."
