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

Chapter 95 Don’t Talk, Beat Me
"I told you!! You shouldn't use prosthetics!!"

"I also said, it's annoying as hell, it's none of your business."

On the night after another mission, the bonfire party was held as scheduled.

In the abandoned factory, cyberpunks danced with their bodies that had become twisted and slender due to prosthetic modifications, their faces showing a gradual red color stained by alcohol.

Lu Mingfei usually mingled with the crowd and applauded the stunts, but today he clearly wasn't in the mood to do so.

"Boss! Boss!——"

After chasing the man in front of him for a long time, Lu Mingfei finally gave up. He was afraid that if he chased him for a while longer, David would not be able to help but activate the Swan Westin to escape.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei smacked his lips, then ran irritably into the crowd to find the bartender hired for the party.

"L! Congratulations! I heard you completed this mission beautifully!"

"Thank you! Give me a vodka!"

The former's voice was full of approval, while Lu Mingfei's was just a heavy hum.

"Vodka? Hehe, what happened to our genius hacker?" The bartender raised an eyebrow and asked with interest while mixing the drinks. "You used to be a big fan of orange juice and Coke."

"Listen to me, then listen to me." Lu Mingfei took the opportunity to climb up and began to complain about his recent work.

Memories began to flash back in his mind.

Only a week had passed since Lu Mingfei returned to Night City.

[But on the first day, after he noticed something was wrong with David's body, Lu Mingfei's excessive worry broke out.]

He completed the mission before David, and the two of them clashed in almost every mission.

[Of course, if they were ordinary mercenaries, they would point guns at each other's heads, or use a synaptic fuse to fry their opponent's brains.]

[But Lu Mingfei and David had a good relationship, so they couldn't fight. They were just holding their anger, which made things very awkward.]

Just today, David used Cianweistan despite Lu Mingfei's objections. Although there was nothing wrong with his body, Lu Mingfei was very unhappy.

On the way back, they made so much noise that Rebecca stopped laughing, and we went our separate ways as soon as we got out of the car.

The bartender was amused to hear this.

Unlike David's team who were caught up in the vortex of quarrels, he was just a bartender, so of course he could make as many sarcastic remarks as he wanted.

"If you ask me, you just haven't said it out loud." The bartender handed Lu Mingfei the vodka and talked freely, "Nothing is 'without reason'. If he doesn't say it, it means he can't say it out loud."

"What should I do?"

"What can I do? Test, plot, use your emotional intelligence. Aren't you our Japanese street's little Sakura? A quasi-legendary mercenary~"

"I didn't!" Lu Mingfei felt aggrieved. Does he look like a character with high emotional intelligence?
He can make friends only because all his friends are abnormal!

The bartender shrugged and said casually.

"The only way is to make him unhappy and break his defense to tell you the reason."

"."

The bartender was talking nonsense.

But he didn't see Lu Mingfei's expression after hearing this suggestion.

He pinched his chin.

Make others unhappy?

(Oh, I think I’m good at this?)
Lu Mingfei took a sip of the vodka prepared by the bartender and smacked his lips.

"Why is this water tasteless?"
-
When Lu Mingfei found David again, it was at the riverside behind the abandoned car factory. Lu Mingfei still remembered that he had a heart-to-heart talk with David here more than three months ago.

And for David, that conversation happened just over a week ago.

It must be very embarrassing for David Martinez. He had just boasted that he would protect Lu Mingfei not long ago, but now he has fallen into a situation where he needs Lu Mingfei's help. That's why he rejected Lu Mingfei again and again.

But
"If you're sick, get treatment! Stop acting like a spoiled brat!"

Lu Mingfei shouted with full energy, waking up David who was originally standing by the railing in a daze.

He quickly turned his head, and his eyes were golden, but not golden pupils, but the color that naturally appeared when talking to other users.

Who else could David talk to but Lucy?

Lu Mingfei felt bad. He happened to have drunk some wine, and now his head was dizzy and he was also bold.

"Haha, you can't argue with yourself so you come to your wife to complain. How shameful!"

"what?"

David made a strange sound and looked a little embarrassed.

His face turned ugly when he saw Lu Mingfei. They had been having a conflict for a while. His eyes were cold and gloomy, and he was just about to say "I'm breaking up with you and I'm never going to play with you again".

But when he saw Lu Mingfei's flushed face, he subconsciously asked with concern, "Have you been drinking? I remember you didn't like this very much, did you?"

“Well, I don’t like it.”

Of course I don’t like it. Although dragon’s blood can help digest alcohol, the impact is still there.

Lu Mingfei doesn't like the feeling of having a unclear mind.

But the focus is not there now. David almost led him astray. Drunken Rage has a long skill duration, so Lu Mingfei has to make it short.

So he spoke.

"Boss! You have to make me a promise this time! You can't continue using Sian Westin! At least take a break for a while!"

"."

The look of concern melted instantly, David's expression darkened, and he sneered at Lu Mingfei with narrowed eyes.

"Why should I listen to you? I'm the leader of the team."

"That has nothing to do with it! This is your body—"

"Then why do you keep using it?"

David turned around and faced Lu Mingfei, his expression becoming quite annoyed.

From David's perspective, he had been holding back his anger for a week, and the quarrel in the car just now continued until now, and he had no time to vent.

And
There was a reason for his uncontrollable irritability.

【Zi Zi.】

Hallucinations gradually form in the brain.

The younger generation who was concerned about him began to stretch, and the sound became sharper, like the sharp sound of glass rubbing against a blackboard.

The slender limbs grew like sponges, forming the tentacle-like shapes of marine creatures and began to spread out on the ground.

The ghost images of lights that could be captured were everywhere, and the heavy buzzing of bells stirred my internal organs.

Reason told David that these were all hallucinations caused by the overload of the prosthesis, and he should not take his anger out on others.

But in fact, he could no longer remain rational.

Countless overlapping voices and hallucinations eroded his brain, making the man feel as if blood with a taste of rust was flowing out from between his teeth.

Lu Mingfei's caring words in my ears gradually changed in tone, becoming noisy and then disgusting.

"Then why do you keep using it, Lu Mingfei?"

Suddenly, a voice came out that even David himself couldn't believe came from his mouth.

The moment he finished speaking, his expression changed and he looked a little regretful.

But then, a feeling of pleasure like release began to fill every corner of my heart, and I could no longer hear Lucy's screams in the communication channel next to me.

In front of David, Lu Mingfei, who had been making a confident argument, was also taken aback by David's cold attitude. He said hesitantly, "I haven't had any reaction from my prosthetics yet."

"So? What do you want to say?"

David interrupted Lu Mingfei again before he could finish his words.

"You mean to say that you are [special], right?"

[Nothing? What do you mean nothing?]

啊咧
It was as if a voice that didn't belong to me was ringing in my head.

But it's so familiar.

这 是
"That's not what I meant." Lu Mingfei pursed his lips. He had sensed that David was in a bad mood and wanted to ease the atmosphere.

however--

"Do you think that you can ride on my head just because you are praised by the mercenaries?" David said coldly.

[Do you think I'll become a cyber maniac? ]

"no!"

"Stop being so arrogant, Lu Mingfei."

[Don't get carried away, David.] [Just because you've got Sian Westin and are a little faster than others, do you think you can handle things on your own?]

Ah. I remember now.

这 是
Mann's voice.

David raised his head and looked at Lu Mingfei coldly.

[Don't forget, your Swanwestin originally belonged to me.]

"Don't forget, you owe me your life."

Hallucinations, memories and reality overlap ugly.

Lu Mingfei: "."

Ha, this sentence is really full of gunpowder.

My head felt like it was being pricked by needles and there were tingling and pains.

But David couldn't utter a word of apology.

Halfway through the conflict, he actually vaguely realized that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't control his mouth, and he actually wanted to see what Lu Mingfei's attitude towards him would be.

affim?

negative?

nothing.

If he obeyed, David might appear happy on the surface, but he would be disappointed in his heart.

If he denied his rage, and the madness hidden in his pupils could be released, David might even feel happy.

I can protect other people's dreams

Yeah, someone else's
Mom's, Lucy's, Mann's.
I also carried it all the way here.

But I seem to have reached the end.

How great would it be if I could entrust it to you?
but.
Lu Mingfei did not respond to David.

He lowered his head and endured it like a punching bag.

Yes, this is Lu Mingfei, a coward.

He can't stand up straight without someone to help him. Even after going through so many things and changing himself, he can show his fangs to his enemies, but he dare not say anything harsh to his friends or people he cares about. At the critical moment, he becomes a coward.

He is still young.

In David's eyes, Lu Mingfei is still very childish.

David swallowed the disappointment that was hard to conceal and turned around to leave.

tread--

And then at this moment.

"Yes."

A voice came from behind.

David stopped, and the voices behind him became more urgent.

"Yeah, yeah! That's it!"

Lu Mingfei yelled, his voice, which was originally used for writing, now became violent and chaotic, with gnashing teeth and wanton anger.

"I'm special! I'm stronger than you, boss! I'm cooler than you! I can use the Sian Westin that you can't!"

"I'm just more efficient at completing tasks than you! I'm just better than you right now! What David Martinez? What's so special about that?! Your prosthetics' adaptability is simply not as good as mine! It's ruined after just a few hits. What a scumbag~~"

"If I were to do it, I could definitely do it better! I wouldn't get hurt, and I wouldn't make my partners and my wife worry so much~~~"

Lu Mingfei spoke with his unique quick tongue, his face flushed red.

"Chirping! To put it bluntly, you're just unhappy! Come and hit me if you dare! Ah~ But you definitely can't beat me!"

what the hell.

It turns out that I was wrong. Isn't that very bold of you to say that?

"What did you say?"

David turned his head slowly.

But you're going too far.

【boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!】

The mercenaries who were originally partying in the abandoned car factory were clinking their glasses, but at a certain moment in their laughter and joy, a touch of fantasy hit the area.

A huge explosion sounded, and steel bars and wood chips exploded everywhere, and a column of fire rose. It was a chain explosion caused by an oil barrel being overturned in the air and then pierced by a bullet.

"Oh my god! What happened!!!"

"The top leader and the second-in-command are fighting! Boss David and L are fighting!!!"

"Oh my god! Brothers, grab your weapons! Where are the shields we got from the NCPD?! Push them forward, push them forward!"

"Why are you going up there? Aren't you afraid of death?"

"It's worth dying to see such a powerful battle!"

After the initial panic, the mercenaries turned into a frenzy of excitement. These battle maniacs picked up their small wooden chairs and drinks and rushed towards the center of the explosion.

Then they saw, above the scattered wood chips, grenades colliding in mid-air in perfect arcs, bullets penetrating each other, and then, after a complex display of light and shadow, two figures broke through the sea of ​​fire and dust and sprinted towards each other.

Still shouting.

"Boss, didn't I tell you to use less Sian Westin?!"

"Then don't use it if you have the guts!"

“No need to win!!”

The two big men suddenly collided with each other, but unexpectedly - they didn't use Swan Westin. The punches were clearly visible so that even mercenaries could understand them. The crossed fists hit each other's faces in an instant.

The two men leaned back at the same time, then straightened up at the same time and threw another punch at each other.

Lu Mingfei's fist hit David's cheekbone with a sound of breaking wind, and the shattered oil tank wreckage was blown three meters high by the wind from the fist.

Under the two men's ravages, the container was like a can kicked away by a naughty child. It embedded into the ground with a clang and then tilted backwards, smashing through the surrounding concrete walls.

"Fuck you!" David wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and punched Lu Mingfei in the stomach. "You're more nosy than Rebecca's shotgun! Who do you think you are?!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

A mercenary suddenly shouted, "Those who bet on L are now paying 1 to 1.5!"

"I bet! I'll do it!"

"Is there no one trying to stop the fight?"

"Qiwei ran away!"

The two men tumbled into the firelight, crashing into a pile of oil drums. The rusted metal barrels exploded like New Year's fireworks. Lu Mingfei grabbed David by the collar and pressed him into the concrete floor. The spiderweb-like cracks in the ground instantly spread to the riverside guardrail.

Lu Mingfei's golden pupils flickered in the sparks, and he pounded his fists on the ground. David tilted his head, then suddenly raised his knee and hit the other man in the waist: "Stinky brat!!"

The concrete was shattered and splattered like mud. The crowd of onlookers suddenly retreated in unison, but the Queen Mother was reluctant to do so.

David has gorilla arms and prosthetics, while Lu Mingfei has a mixed-race physique and cyber boxing skills developed from watching TV dramas with Lao Wei every day. The initial confrontation between the two was wonderful and exciting.

But once both of them were exhausted, the scene became chaotic.

But the onlookers also noticed something was wrong.

Lu Mingfei was determined not to use Sian Westin, let alone rotate the magnetic field. He just relied on his flesh and used his most brutal strength to wrestle with David.

Punching and kicking, like a wild beast, venting his emotions.

"I'm doing this for your own good!!!"

"I never said I needed you!"

"So what! I didn't say I have to get your consent to be nice to you!"

"Why do you, a child underage, care so much? Who is the big brother?"

"You're not an adult yet! Why are you pretending to be mature?!"

"You! You! You said something you shouldn't say!!!"

The onlookers went from being bloodthirsty at first to gradually becoming indifferent and finally silent. They removed their stools and left the scene.

Damn, it's just family ethics, so boring.

The eldest and second in command are so fussy, and they are from our circle.

This is bad luck.
