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

Chapter 59 The Heroine the World Chooses for You
The next day, Lu Mingfei woke up from his sleep, opened the curtains in the room to face the morning sun, and stretched out in relaxation.

It’s not the first day of the new year, and he’s not wearing new underwear, but he feels refreshed!

After washing up, I took my phone from the bedside table.

——Because he was too lazy to reply last night, Lu Mingfei chose to simply pretend that he hadn’t seen the message, and waited until the next day to put on an attitude of "Oh~ Sorry~ I went to bed last night."

I'm really smart
What? Chen Wenwen used to treat Lu Mingfei like this before, right?

Hey, hey, you're talking a bit too much (pointing)
Lu Mingfei clicked "Agree" and entered the text.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei's impression of Cassel is this——————

A mysterious academy capable of battling giant dragons that can easily alter the landscape, and sending just two students to battle Lu Mingfei, the top hacker of 2076.

If possible, he wanted to leave a friendly impression on the other side.

After all, Lu Mingfei just wants to live a peaceful life.

Looking at the "You have been successfully added as friends, you can start chatting now!" message on the QQ interface, the former member of the literature club carefully considered his words and began typing, "Hello, I'm very happy to meet you, Gattuso."

That's pretty much it.

call--

Sitting on the sofa at home, Lu Mingfei held his phone and was about to relax -

[Drip drip drip————]

[Your friend [Sonic] invites you to an audio or video call]

"!?!!"

Calling someone the first time you meet them?! This person has absolutely no sense of social boundaries!
Startled, Lu Mingfei wanted to pretend not to see it again, but it would be too clumsy to pretend not to see it at this time after he had just said "hello".

He gritted his teeth and answered the phone.

【Hello, Lu Mingfei.】

"Hello?"

[Hmm, I think you've seen my name, Caesar Gattuso—if nothing unexpected happens, we'll be classmates for the next three years. Before then, I'll be responsible for traveling to China to discuss the situation with you about Kassel, so that you can be more confident in your choice.]

"Uh, thanks?"

Lu Mingfei found that he was still not good at communication. Even after being a mercenary for three months, he could only be confident when talking about work.

Caesar seemed to have noticed this.

【Um? 】

There seemed to be some confusion on the other end of the phone. Lu Mingfei could almost imagine the expression of a tall man with a slightly raised eyebrow and surprise.

[It seems that the S-level you and I know is somewhat different.]

"What is S-rank? What do you know about me?"

s? sb?
"This isn't really important, because that intelligence was just information sent to me by the Executive Bureau on their own. I never believed it from the beginning. This is perfect. We can get to know each other again tonight. Oh, and I'll bring another classmate with me then. I hope you don't mind."

"tonight?"

Come to think of it, Lu Mingfei had wanted to ask this for a long time.

If he remembered correctly, Kassel College was in the United States, and this was China. A rough calculation showed the average flight distance was about 11172 kilometers, and the fastest direct flight took about 13.5 hours. So, when exactly did this person depart? By any calculation, he should still be on the plane, right?

"I can probably guess your concerns, but it doesn't matter. Private planes are faster than regular airlines."

"Oh"

Lu Mingfei smacked his lips slightly, not out of annoyance, but with the same feeling as a rickshaw driver chewing a Bie Ye cigarette on a bridge pier while watching a master driving a sedan puff by.

Why.
I am number 2076, and I have a hatred of the rich.

A thick wall of sorrow.
-
The clear sky releases bright warmth, and the pale pink flowers drift and wither in the direction of the breeze. The sun begins to sink, but the lingering light is full of strong vitality.

Lu Mingfei arrived at the agreed restaurant.

The restaurant's floor is clad in a smooth, dark material, and the lighting is dazzling from the massive floor-to-ceiling windows. The ceiling features a unique wavy design, and several circular relief chandeliers hang softly from it. The chairs' frames are retro and luxurious, and the simple black and white accents create a sense of sophistication.

Lu Mingfei even saw a family finishing their meal at the door being photographed by a waiter using a tintype camera that looked quite valuable and had historical value, before happily departing with the photo. He had researched this restaurant beforehand; it served Italian cuisine, blending tradition with modernity, recreating the exquisite classicism of the Victorian era.

Lu Mingfei felt that this kind of overbearing middle school prince would usually choose an environment he was familiar with as a place to entertain guests, so he tried to search the Internet using the keywords "Gattuso", "Italy" and "Caesar".

He found out that he was wrong. It didn't need to be that complicated. Just the three words "Gattuso" were enough for Lu Mingfei to collect enough information.

Although there are not many blatant records in the cyberspace of the surface world, as long as someone is willing to investigate, they will find out how exaggerated this "Gattuso" family is.

Starting out as a gangster, they have produced seven or eight dukes. Lu Mingfei tried to investigate and discovered that the Gattuso family's businesses are spread across various industries around the world, including people's livelihood entertainment, medical fields, and cutting-edge technology. Lu Mingfei even found out that the other party has its own national marine research institute on the Italian border.

Lu Mingfei didn't understand the capabilities of the chaebols before traveling through time, but he felt that the Gattuso family was too involved.

Unfortunately, as a half-native of Night City, Lu Mingfei has always had a bad impression of things like "company".

And this seems to further confirm Lu Mingfei's previous guess.

[Night City] itself is an unstable society formed after the victorious humans stole the dragon's property during the human-dragon war.

That's what happens when too little money gets controlled by too few people.

Then
(Since I was brought into this world, it must have a meaning.)
The boy touched the inside of his clothes.

There, a hard object pressed against his waist, there was the scalpel that had been with him for several months and was of great significance to him.

Even though he came to this world from Night City, he still exists.

Although he did not carry any guns, Lu Mingfei was confident that he could kill most of the enemies with just the molecular line and the scalpel, plus his hacking skills and Sian Westin.

Wrapped in an irresistible alertness, Lu Mingfei came to the reserved seat in the restaurant, but surprisingly, when he arrived, he did not see the blond and burly man he had imagined sitting there.

Instead, a beautiful girl with long crimson hair sat on the seat, crossed her legs, and looked at him with interest.

She looked at Lu Mingfei and shook his hand.

"Hi, S-class."

"Please give me more advice."

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

It was not just because the girl was pretty, but also because his [game window] popped up again at this time.

at the same time
"Brother, do you believe in fate?"

Lu Mingfei was startled because Lu Mingze suddenly appeared in this restaurant.

The world was paused.

Only the little devil was walking in this faded space. He looked at the woman in front of him with a complicated look in his eyes.

Lu Mingfei repeated what Lu Mingze said.

"destiny?"

"Logic, common sense, hard work, all factors transcended, at the convergence point of the world line there exists a certain [inevitability], we call this fate."

"For example, according to the best development path, you didn't need to join Cassel. I prepared something better for you, but now—you're still preparing to enroll."

Lu Mingfei was puzzled. "Didn't you recommend Cassel to me?"

"Yeah, I want to see if things will turn out differently this time."

Lu Mingze replied with a rather incoherent sentence, his expression somewhat gloomy.

Before Lu Mingfei could continue asking, he changed the subject.

"For example, the woman in front of you. Logically, she shouldn't be here after you displayed your extraordinary abilities. But at this moment, she still came, right in front of you."

"Be careful, brother. She can be both your helper and your disaster. To put it another way—"

Before disappearing, the little devil looked at Lu Mingfei with a smile.

"Have you ever heard the story of Medea and Jason?"
