Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 278 It is said that lucid dreams can do whatever you want
Late at night, it was quiet outside the window.

Lu Mingfei lay on the bedside in a weird posture, looking at his mobile phone listlessly, with the snoring of his cousin Lu Mingze in his ears.

"The history of Lu is the history of the development of modern technology. We believe that only by going deep into the grassroots can we make products that satisfy the general public..."

The video shows a gorgeous stage with a handsome young man standing on it. He is wearing a well-tailored dark suit and a simple white shirt. He has a gentle but firm smile on his face and his voice is clear and powerful, revealing his calmness and confidence.

Just yesterday, Lu Ke, the current head of the Lu Group, donated a building to Shilan Middle School in his personal name. The principal, whose face was almost broken with laughter, immediately decided to temporarily add an issue of the school magazine "Glorious Development History - The Rise of Lu Family", which has a dog-licking smell just by the name, and outsourced this task to Chen Wenwen, the head of the literature department who has already graduated.

There are always one or two people in the world who say things you cannot refuse. Chen Wenwen just said, "Please, Mingfei," and Lu Mingfei wiped his face, which was just covered with spit from his aunt, postponed the game with his netizen Lao Tang, and started to help organize the information.

Chen Wenwen was Lu Mingfei’s dream during adolescence. Every boy has such a dream to a greater or lesser extent.

When the two met for the first time, the quiet and pretty girl was sitting on a bench holding a copy of Duras's "The Lover". The sunlight shone on her cotton skirt and skin, and everything seemed transparent. Lu Mingfei fell in love with her at first sight and felt that his life would be worth it if he could marry this girl in the future.

Unfortunately, there are always a bunch of lackeys around the goddess, and each of them is excellent. He is just an insignificant loser among them. Except for being good at playing games, he is useless in other aspects.

After graduation, everyone will go their separate ways soon. Lu Mingfei didn't dare to hope that Chen Wenwen would accept him. As long as he expressed his feelings before leaving, he would have no regrets. But Chen Wenwen actually called him "Mingfei" just now.

It’s “Ming Fei” instead of Lu Mingfei!

Such an intimate name gave Toad renewed hope. He felt that there might still be a chance, so he watched the live broadcast of the lecture circulating on the Internet while searching on Baidu, and also went to various forums to look up information.

Few people are unaware of the Lu Group. Their products span across many fields, from small items like needles and threads to large items like furniture and mattresses, from beauty and apparel to digital products, from film and television works to golden songs and TV series. Lu is the leader in every field.

Even the mobile phone, laptop, and software apps that Lu Mingfei is using now are mostly Lu's products.

When talking about the Lu family, one cannot avoid mentioning the current head of the Lu family, Lu Ke. He is a true legendary figure. It is said that he showed amazing investment talent at a young age and his judgment of the future economic situation was astonishingly accurate.

Not to mention stock funds, all the projects that this young ruler has his eyes on, including real estate, the Internet, social software, online sales, big data, etc., are very profitable and there is basically no risk. Even if there is, it will definitely be transferred before there is a loss.

Far-sighted decisions have enabled Lu's to grow from a small business into a towering tree, and then radiate into other fields, until it has reached its current prosperous position.

A small group of male compatriots on the Internet argued endlessly about whether this bastard was reincarnated, traveled through time, or brought a system with him. In the end, they reached a consensus that Lu Ke was most likely a "reborn time traveler with a system"!
Lu Mingfei was not very interested in men, but she had heard many girls in her class who were addicted to romance novels fantasize about how one day Lu Ke would wear a pure white suit and drive a Lamborghini, Maybach, Bugatti Veyron, Aston Martin or other luxury cars towards her under the spotlight, then push open the door, raise his chin coldly to her, and say a short and powerful "Get in the car!"

so good.

Lu Mingfei let out a sigh. If he were like Lu Ke, Chen Wenwen would be easily captured in minutes. By then, he would have two children in three years, a son and a daughter. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
He grinned and let out a silent giggle, lost in yearning for a better future, and it took a while for the fantasy to end.

It was already early morning. After finishing his work, he clicked on Chen Wenwen's avatar, sent her the downloaded and sorted information, and carefully typed out a long summary like a short essay. After checking that there were no mistakes or omissions and that it did not appear to be perfunctory, he clicked send.

A few minutes later, Chen Wenwen's reply came.

[Lu Mingfei, you write really well. No other boy is as careful as you.]

Lu Mingfei didn’t know whether to be sad for the “Lu Mingfei” who had turned back into himself, or happy for Chen Wenwen’s praise. He scratched his head and typed “It’s because of you, that I…”.

Delete it, it's too ambiguous.

He thought about it and typed, "Is there any reward, such as having a meal together when you are free?"

If I delete it again, it sounds like I'm asking for repayment for a favor, and it's very greasy.

Before he could figure out how to respond, Chen Wenwen's second message came out.

[There is still a lot of work.]

Lu Mingfei asked subconsciously.

Is there anything else I can do?

[No need, you have helped me a lot, I can do the rest of the work by myself. ]

Lu Mingfei could only type “Oh” and reply.

【Remember to rest. There is no end to the work. It is already very late. 】

[Well, I'm going to take a shower]

Lu Mingfei looked at the last word "La", closed his eyes a little tiredly, turned over and lay on his back on the bed.

During the three years of high school, Chen Wenwen's attitude towards him was always lukewarm, or a little ambiguous. She never mentioned love. At most, she would say a few words for Lu Mingfei in a soft voice when he was laughed at by others. As an ordinary classmate, she would ask him to do any chores such as cleaning up empty classrooms, moving books, organizing materials, and attending meetings.

Lu Mingfei knew that thinking this way might be a bit mean and self-indulgent, but why didn’t Chen Wenwen look for other boys?

The literature department had never had many boys interested in it. After Chen Wenwen became the department head, the number of boys and girls was split in half. The boys' intentions were obvious. She would not lack boys for help, so why did she always look for him? Even if she really treated him as a lackey, he should be a special lackey.

It was with this in mind that he rejected Professor Guderian from Kassel College, who showed kindness and expectations towards him, and rejected Nono, whose eyes were as sharp as knives and whose aura was so suffocating that people could not breathe.

It’s just that women are such difficult creatures to understand.

Lu Mingfei looked at the conversation between the two and let out a silent sigh. His phone vibrated and a message from Old Tang popped up.

"Mingming, are you going to go to bed or not? If not, I'll go to sleep. My sleep quality hasn't been very good lately and I keep having weird dreams."

Since you can’t sleep well, just make up for it with some sleep. Why play games!
Lu Mingfei complained, but what he typed out was "Come on, I'll switch to my secondary account to accompany you."

Games are a man’s charging station!

The sleepiness had passed, but the depression lingered for a long time. He glanced at his cousin Lu Mingze who was sleeping like a dead pig, put on his headphones, turned on his laptop, switched to his secondary account, logged into the game account, and clicked on "Black Myth" which was released not long ago this year.

In the past, Lu Mingfei basically only played Blizzard's StarCraft. It's not that he was not interested in other games, but he was a little afraid that he would not be able to adapt to the rhythm and content of the new game, like a snail curled up in its shell.

But ever since he had become involved with Lao Tang, his gaming partner, he was gradually led to other gaming platforms by the other party. After overcoming his fear, he discovered that other games didn't seem to be that difficult, and the content was quite rich.

However, compared to action games, Lu Mingfei still prefers strategy games that require deploying troops, so he never played it again after completing it once. A while ago, the game updated the online challenge mode, which allows players to fight bosses together with teammates. Plus, he couldn't refuse Old Tang's kindness, so he opened it again.

Soon, a stick-holding Malo appeared on the exquisite traditional Chinese style picture, with his small ID "The Mark of Sunset" on his head. This small ID was specially prepared to coax his cousin and let him taste the bitterness of love.

After a while, Maluo, dressed in a golden and luxurious Monkey King suit, appeared beside him, with a simple ID of "Lao Tang" on his head.

"It seems like you have never fought a hidden boss, is that ok?"

Old Tang looked at the scrap metal of Lu Mingfei's character and a grin appeared on his head.

Lu Mingfei patted his chest and guaranteed: "We'll win for sure."

At least he still has some confidence in the game.

"Okay, the numerical equipment in the challenge mode is unified, it all depends on technical skills."

Old Tang didn't ask any more questions: "Our goal is to get into the top 100 of the rankings. It is said that players who make the list will receive an official monkey figurine as a gift."

"That's the Great Sage, okay? I didn't expect that Old Tang would be interested in figurines. Could it be that you are the kind of artistic youth who likes to make handicrafts?"

"Forget it. I usually burn the pot when I cook. I'm not even making figures."

By the way, when did this game release the rankings?

There is an online mode and a ranking list. It will not develop into a web game mode in the future. He doesn't want to open a monthly card to receive the spirit charm, collect fragments to assemble equipment, and then come with a lot of appearance packages. Lu Mingfei clicked on the ranking list with some resistance, and a plain list came into view.

First place: Cheater

IP location: Chicago, USA.

Second place: The Garden Snake
IP location: Beijing, China

Third place: ???

IP location: ???
4. Cambridge Folding Knife
IP location: Chicago, USA
5. Little Monsters
IP location: Tokyo, Japan

6. Flame Dragon Slayer

IP location: Chicago, USA
7. Giant tortoise
IP location: Tokyo, Japan

8th place: Kazama Ruri
IP location: Tokyo, Japan

9. Murasame
IP location: Chicago, USA
10th place: Dick Tudor
IP location: Chicago, USA
……

There was no way to see the specific names after the top ten. Lu Mingfei glanced at the information on the rankings and complained about them one by one.

"Why are all the people on the list from Chicago and Tokyo? Oh... luckily there's an expert in Beijing who didn't lose face too much. What the hell is this question mark guy?"

"As for games, they are mostly played by young people. The information on the leaderboard is based on the place where the player logged in when the ranking was posted. Maybe there are professional teams in Chicago and Tokyo? As for the question mark, it may be a bug in the system."

Old Tang said indifferently, "Come on, brother, let's defeat the three-eyed monster together and climb the rankings."

"It's the Mystical Dao of Qingyuan, the True Lord Erlang, why don't you read some Chinese mythology when you have time!"

"You want me, an American, to read Chinese mythology?"

"America has no mythology. You only have more than 200 years of history."

“That makes sense, but Chinese is too difficult!”

Lu Mingfei controlled the character to walk into the painting while making jokes. The cutscene played automatically. A man and a dog were sitting on the snow in front of a small temple. After noticing someone coming, the handsome Erlang Xiansheng picked up the three-pointed double-edged sword and slowly stood up from the snow in a white robe.

"You must have something in your heart that you can't get over, or someone you can't let go of."

"I can't kill him. No one can kill him except himself."

Yang Jian swung his weapon with murderous intent on his face.

"Later I realized that was the only way. He had no choice, and neither did I."

The game lines invaded the eardrums along with the vibrations of the headphones. The last two sentences made Lu Mingfei's heart tighten inexplicably. For some reason, he had the illusion that the characters in the game came alive and were talking to him. He froze in place.

shhhhh--

A few knife lights flashed by, and the man of destiny that Lu Mingfei controlled while he was stunned was killed in a few breaths. The screen turned gray, and Lao Tang's anxious voice came to his ears.

"What the hell Mingming! We are online now, okay? The boss's stats have been doubled, and you are going to AFK?"

Lu Mingfei came back to his senses: "Sorry, sorry, I'll do it next time!"

Old Tang on the opposite side pressed the controller very quickly, and relied on his familiarity with the boss's moves to barely hold on for a while, but the opponent's numbers were too exaggerated. After several spells were used up, the transformed Guangzhi was also beaten back to his original form by the sudden attack of Roaring Sky Dog.

Following the boss' powerful shout of "Open!", the huge axe of creation fell from the sky, and Lao Tang's character also hit gg.

"You are not him after all."

Lu Mingfei, who had been staring at the screen, tried to hold back, but couldn't.

"Isn't this game making Yang Jian and the Monkey King too ambiguous?"

"Is it more ambiguous than you and Chen Wenwen?"

A clear child's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Lu Mingfei's body stiffened and all the hairs on his body stood up. It was really scary to suddenly hear a child's voice behind him in the middle of the night. Was the house thief or haunted?

Only then did he realize that Lu Mingze's snoring had stopped at some point, and the same was true for the time on the laptop screen. It was so quiet outside the window that not a single sound could be heard, even the chirping of insects and birds had disappeared.

It’s probably a ghost!

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and prepared himself mentally, then turned around abruptly. A boy who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a pure black evening gown, was sitting on his cousin's round belly. There was a glow on his childish face, and a pair of golden eyes were shining like flames.

"Don't go to Kassel Academy, brother."

The little boy's eyes were full of melancholy, a melancholy so deep and sad that it was hard to imagine why such a melancholy would appear in a child's eyes.

"There's something 'abnormal' there, I'm not sure I can protect you."

"Why do you call me brother?"

Completely confused about the situation, Lu Mingfei spoke hesitantly, but the other party did not answer and just continued to stare at him with melancholy eyes.

Lu Mingfei pinched his face, but it didn’t hurt.

He realized that he was having a lucid dream. He was clearly playing games with Old Tang just now. And why did he encounter a boy? Not only was the gender wrong, but even the age was wrong!

It is said that in a lucid dream, everything is up to you. Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up and he said in a commanding tone: "Change!"

"..."

The melancholy in the boy's eyes disappeared, replaced by deep silence.

Just like the top opera singers are performing the most heartwarming and touching drama, the audience suddenly shouts, "Come and take a look, melon seeds, peanuts and mineral water!"

He approached Lu Mingfei, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

"Brother, saying these rubbish won't fill the hole in your heart."

Lu Mingfei asked without giving up: "So it can be changed?"

The boy snorted and suddenly kicked over!

Lu Mingfei felt his body suddenly lose weight. He thrashed around in panic and found himself still lying on the bed. The picture on the notebook had turned gray and he could hear Old Tang's sorrowful voice.

"This is the second time. Can you do it or not?!"

"Next time definitely!"
