Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 247 Mission: 02-7 Old Tang
Lu Mingfei had been called away by his aunt and had hurriedly turned off his phone, so he didn't see the message.

Lao Tang is one of the group's administrators, and his StarCraft skills are quite good. He is a Chinese American who reportedly grew up in the United States and calls himself a freelancer.

Since he was a freelancer, his work schedule was naturally a bit erratic. Sometimes, being in the US, he could even match Lu Mingfei's schedule. It was almost midnight, which should be midday in New York, but Old Tang was still online.

He rarely took the initiative to invite people to play StarCraft. Halfway across the world, even with a proxy network, the connection wasn't very good. Lu Mingfei, however, couldn't micromanage with the red dot and wasn't too worried about network lag, so he took the initiative to approach him.

"Okay, I'll definitely do it next time." Lu Mingfei typed back.

The "ding ding" sound of QQ receiving messages rang almost immediately. Although Old Tang, who didn't speak Chinese fluently, typed very fast. It was said that he acquired this skill when he was a GM in an online group. Old Tang was also a loyal fan of the board game "Dungeons & Dragons".

"You're online again now? Bro, I'm starting to suspect you're in the US."

"My cousin was using it just now. This computer belongs to him."

After Lu Mingfei finished replying to the message and looked at the words on the screen, he suddenly remembered that he did have to go to the United States soon. He already knew the secret of the dragon's existence, so the interview the day after tomorrow was just a formality.

After thinking about it, he sent another message to Lao Tang: "Lao Tang, are you familiar with American universities?"

"I did volunteer with NYU students. Any ideas? Are you planning to apply?"

He replied immediately, which showed that Old Tang's "freelance" job was not very busy.

"I've already got an interview. It's for a school near Chicago."

"Sure! Then when you come to the US and have a holiday, tell me and I'll take you on a budget trip! I know some amazing spots!"

Lu Mingfei thought about it, typed a line of words but deleted them one by one, and finally replied with only two words.

"Okay."

Then he closed the chat interface and recalled what he was planning to do with some confusion.

It was too late for him to continue playing games. So, was he just looking to chat? Or was he waiting for news?

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he no longer had to wait anxiously for those short and simple messages from Chen Wenwen. He had already sworn goodbye to this fruitless relationship. To him, Chen Wenwen was already a girl he had "secretly loved".

However, the world continued to function normally, and nothing seemed to have changed, as if telling Lu Mingfei that his feelings were nothing but trivial. Whether he liked her or not meant nothing to Chen Wenwen.

"Now it seems that it's not that difficult." He pinched the corners of his mouth and tried to smile mockingly, but he didn't know who he was mocking.

A new friend request appeared, and Lu Mingfei accepted it without even glancing at it. Besides the people from the literature club, most people who added him were his StarCraft friends, perhaps planning a game.

Lu Mingfei clicked on his new friend's profile picture and thought to himself, "This guy is quite a show-off." The picture he used was an old hardcover book, which looked very old and like something that would be on display in a museum. Normally, people who use this kind of profile picture are either young artists or trying to pretend to be young artists.

However, looking at the elegant embossed capital "V" on the cover, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel that the book seemed a little familiar.

So just as he was about to type, "Getting ready for bed, play tomorrow," his hand paused, allowing the other party's words to appear in the chat box first.

"I'm Nero." In the brightly lit dorm of the prep school, Nero sat at her desk, the self-review she'd just started set aside. In front of her was the laptop she'd bought for herself. With smartphones still far from fully functional, this was a must-buy.

After sending the first message, Nero's fingers continued to dance on the keyboard, and the second message appeared in the chat box:

"How's your self-review?"

The content was simple, direct, and spoke directly to the heart. Lu Mingfei's first message finally popped up, the content being a concise and clear "?".

"Is your attitude appropriate? I'm writing a self-criticism because of you, isn't it?"

After Nero sent the message, the prompt "The other party is typing" flashed for a few seconds, and then an Emoji of "kneeling and begging for mercy" appeared first. Lu Mingfei's reply appeared at the bottom of the screen after a while.

"It's my fault! Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time!"

Nero sent the exact same message again: "How's your review?"

"No kidding, this is the only talent I have that my homeroom teacher can praise."

He seemed quite proud of it.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Remember to be sincere."

After Nero said this, he handed Lu Mingfei a copy of the student code of conduct as a reference, and then stretched comfortably.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Seeing this reply, Nero had to partially understand Chen Wenwen and "Nono". It must be said that Lu Mingfei is a perfect fit for a henchman. His decisiveness and action are unparalleled.

After getting rid of the difficult task, Nero reached into the box beside her and pulled out a cigarette of "Alps" and put it in her mouth. The slightly bitter taste of coffee slowly drifted through her mouth. After successfully infiltrating Lu Mingfei's interstellar group, she clicked on the personal information of the user in the group named "Lao Tang".

This user was currently discussing his so-called "experiences" in the group chat. Nero wasn't interested in StarCraft, and even if he was, the most knowledgeable person in the group was Lu Mingfei, so he naturally didn't read the chats that were constantly being updated. But Nero was interested in "Old Tang" himself; he was the target of his visit.

The "Lord of Bronze and Fire" who has not yet awakened, Norton.

After today's battle with Xia Mi, Nero was completely convinced that unless these Dragon Kings could "combine two into one" to complete his own annihilation and activate the Word of Destruction, they would pose no threat to Nero. Even demon transformation wouldn't be necessary to defeat them. But looking at this "Dragon King" who was still completely ignorant of his own past, lost in games and the human world, Nero couldn't help but sigh.

Norton will definitely die, and this is something Nero cannot change even if he gives up obtaining "Wrath". The reason why fate is fate is that no one can change their own choices.

After waking up, Constantine will definitely go looking for his brother. Humans can only kill this "lost boy" who is like a walking incendiary bomb. Norton, who lost his brother, will definitely wake up and begin revenge on the world.

So one of the avatars in this group chat dimmed and never lit up again.

Nero slid the mouse and slowly drew an "X" on the panda portrait.
