Dragon Clan: Star Core Hunter Lu Mingfei

Chapter 77: A million-dollar wanted order, a reward for destroying the Destiny Walker

“Wouldn’t it be more efficient to let security robots do things like patrolling?” Lu Mingfei complained in a low voice.

Ever since the Interstellar Peace Company descended from outer space.

Ai technology and intelligent robots have become widely circulated in the market, and now you can even see alien intelligent robots coming to travel on the streets!
Lu Mingfei originally thought that the Public Security Bureau was an official organization after all, so they shouldn’t be short of funds to deploy those security robots, right?
But who would have thought that Kafka's answer would be: "Yes, but it's not necessary."

Because the company will not be so kind as to hand over the technology of intelligent automatic robot soldiers to the local civilization of Tianyiwu.

If you want guard robots to replace demon hunters and protect the future of the people, the money you have to pay is extremely expensive for a big country!

Once upon a time, there were five major civilized countries in Tianyiwu.

New Babylon, New Kyushu, New Maya, New Rome, New India.

Among them, New Jiuzhou was swallowed by the rift.

The remnants of Kyushu established the New Xiazhou on the ice field further north, and almost lived in seclusion. Their presence was so hidden that even the company subconsciously ignored their existence.

New Rome in the West tried to compete with the Interstellar Peace Company and take advantage of its home field to challenge the company.

As a result, the trade war was forced to end after just three days because of the gold that fell from the sky in Rome. The almost infinitely multiplying gold directly buried the entire city of Rome, causing the original economic system of Tianyiwu to completely collapse, and it was forced to be incorporated into the company's credit point system.

It didn’t take long for New Rome to declare its demise!
Xin Tianzhu wants to cling to the company completely and be led by the company as a younger brother.

So he took the initiative to push for his own Demon Hunter system to be replaced by the company's mechas.

As a result, their army was also taken over by the robot intelligence, and they almost completely lost their autonomy against the demon attacks. They have now become puppets of the company...

New Babylon does not want to follow in the footsteps of New India.

Therefore, in recent years, cooperation with the company has been carried out gradually, and the company's guard aircraft have not been allowed to enter its own national market.

Even though the original island nation of Neon District was an enclave and could be abandoned at any time...

"I still want to work with Miss Kafka." Lu Mingfei spoke the lines like an NPC.

"Stop daydreaming. You are not qualified to work with Miss Kafka. Come on, follow me on patrol."

Amaterasu pulled the reluctant Lu Mingfei away.

Kafka smiled as she saw them off, as well as the gray-haired girl who no one else could see.

Even though she tried her best to stay, she still couldn't run out of the area around Lu Mingfei, which was even five meters in diameter.

……

"Hey, Senior, what's your real name?"

"I'm curious, is the salary as a demon hunter high? A few thousand or tens of thousands a month?"

"Senior, are you strong in combat?"

"Senior, the sun is so strong, aren't you hot wearing so many clothes?"

"I'm so hot, let's go get some ice cream, what flavor do you want?"

The streets are bustling with cars and people.

Lu Mingfei, wearing a baseball cap and carrying a baseball bat, followed Amaterasu, chattering non-stop like a kid who hadn't graduated from high school, asking questions here and there.

Amaterasu Noboa followed the designated patrol route while checking the archival materials in her hands.

He suddenly stopped at a traffic light intersection where he should have been passing.

The strawberry ice cream in Lu Mingfei's hand almost hit his back.

"What's going on? A demon appeared nearby!?"

Lu Mingfei looked around vigilantly, but did not see any red entries appear in his field of vision.

"Come with me." Amaterasu waved at him.

In the dimly lit alley, the smell of moldy garbage hit me in the face.

Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows and finished the ice cream in his hand in just a few bites.

The scene now has a stronger sense of déjà vu, as if I have seen it before... Of course, it’s not the kind of déjà vu that comes from rummaging through the trash can with Xingbao, but the kind of foresight that comes from watching anime with Xingbao!
The next plot, will it be...

"Hey, you used to be a gigolo, didn't you?"

The man stood in the shadows and slowly lit a long, thin cigarette.

"Hey, how did you know?"

Lu Mingfei mentally stopped Xingbao from rummaging through the trash can and looked at Amaterasu.

“It’s written in the file.”

"Tamamonomae Club, God's little cherry blossom, the golden gigolo, you seem to be quite popular..." He said uncertainly: "I have seen you once before."

Seen it?

Lu Mingfei’s eyes twitched slightly.

"No way, senior!"

"A guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looks like a decent person, actually goes to a gigolo club! Let me make it clear first... I have principles, I only accept female customers, not male customers!"

Lu Mingfei looked frightened and took a step back, but the baseball bat in his hand was already gathering strength.

If nothing unexpected happens, this guy should then accuse him of occupational discrimination and beat him up?
Then he was warned not to get close to Kafka again and was expelled from the public security hunter profession...

"...No. I met you on the street."

Amaterasu seemed speechless at Lu Mingfei's nonsensical train of thought.

He explained: "That day I was hunting a demon named Tsuchigumo, a local monster in Neon. Do you remember?" After that, the man slowly turned around and exhaled a wisp of light smoke from his mouth.

In the dimly lit alley, his figure appeared particularly tall, his shadow was stretched out very long, and the ancient sword in his hand, half an inch out of its sheath, was sharp and dazzling.

Just looking at the pose, it's so cool!

Lu Mingfei also remembered that he seemed to have met this guy once.

That was still the early stages of his career as a gigolo, and he needed to rely on the gimmick of "Devil Hunter going into the sex industry" to maintain popularity.

Therefore, he would go out to hunt demons from time to time, and put the footage of his battles on display inside the club for the female guests to be infatuated with.

That night, he and Xingbao had planned to find an ordinary animal demon and get the job done.

But unexpectedly, he encountered a mythical demon!
Unfortunately, before the mythical demon could show his skills, a man in a suit who fell from the sky stabbed him in the head and killed him instantly!
Lu Mingfei still remembered that he had mentioned this matter in his diary, and his comment was - "A real man should be like this!"

"So it was you that night!"

Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way. It seems that we are destined to meet each other!"

"Indeed...it's fate."

Amaterasu nodded solemnly, "I didn't know you were a hunter from the Miyamoto family at the time, and I didn't know you became a gigolo because you were in a difficult situation..."

"I'm sorry, if I had known then, I would have helped you."

Give me a hand?
Lu Mingfei didn't understand what he meant.

Looking at this man again, with his lonely eyes, like a poet, as if he was lamenting someone's tragic fate... Lu Mingfei was even more confused!

Why does he have such a compassionate attitude?
How old is he at such a young age? He has a pretty face, but in his heart he has the same thoughts as a middle-aged man who advises people to become good people?

Lu Mingfei complained to Xingbao in his heart.

But then again, this guy didn't mean to cause trouble, did he?

He came to reminisce about the past!

Lu Mingfei's grip on the baseball bat loosened slightly.

He thought he would experience the same "senior welcome ceremony" as Denci did.

As a result, he had the bat in his hand ready, and was planning to give Amaterasu-senpai's balls a good beating.

But I didn't expect that this guy, who acted like a "holy father", would actually lament his fate...

But is there a possibility?
I was just a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but I got used to it after doing it for a while. After all, it’s just a job and I have to eat!
"To celebrate our fate, I'll treat you to a meal. It's time for dinner!"

Lu Mingfei asked enthusiastically: "Are you used to eating Xianzhou cuisine? Steamed shrimp, seafood drunken eggs, etc."

"It's OK. I'm not picky."

Amaterasu had a serious expression on her face, but she was talking to Lu Mingfei about the special food of Xianzhou.

The restaurant opened by the owner Xianzhou is quite famous in Kyoto.

Amaterasu also went there several times.

However, he was not greedy for the delicious food in Xianzhou, but was more curious about the owner of Xianzhou himself.

According to the "Popular Science Catalog of Cosmic Forces and Races" published by the Interstellar Peace Company, the Xianzhou people are the most famous fertile and immortal species in the universe!

But they believe in hunting and attacking rich people everywhere!

...Amaterasu could not comment on the reason, he was just more curious about the self-healing ability of the immortal boat people.

It is said that every person in the Immortal Boat is not only an immortal species with a lifespan of nearly a thousand years, but their self-healing ability is also very strong!
How powerful is it?

He won’t die if his head is chopped off, and he won’t die if his body is torn into pieces. He can be as good as new if he just sews it up!
Lu Mingfei listened.

I feel like this statement has a stronger sense of immediacy!
"The Yamata no Orochi in Neon Mythology seems to have this attribute, with super abnormal self-healing and regeneration, but he seems to be just a simple mythical demon, not a faction that has embarked on that rich destiny."

"This is normal. If the devil can embark on his fate, then the humans of Tianyiwu will have no hope. The correct solution is to join the company and immigrate globally as soon as possible."

Amaterasu said calmly, “There are only a handful of people who are destined to walk the path of destiny in the entire Tianyi Five.”

"It is said that another one appeared in the Neon District a month ago, and it seems that he is destined to be destroyed... The Interstellar Peace Company is offering a high reward for him, starting at one million credit points."

"Du! Master Duo?!"

Lu Mingfei's eyes suddenly widened, and his expression was incredulous.

The wanted doomsday walker...

Should, probably, possibly...it's not him, right?
"The company issued a wanted order a month ago, but you didn't pay attention... Oh, I forgot, your identity is somewhat special, you are not an ordinary demon hunter."

Amaterasu raised her foot and walked out of the shadows in the alley.

Lu Mingfei lowered his head, looking a little distracted, and subconsciously followed in his footsteps.

And just when they both turned around.

An ordinary metal trash can in the alley shook slightly.

The lid of the barrel was lifted up from the inside.

A blue savage-like guy stared at Amaterasu's back!

　It’s so hot~ My eyes are a little blurry. I only updated 8,000 words today.

　　_(□`　∠)_
　　I’ll try to make up for it tomorrow!
