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

Chapter 31 Lu Mingfei's Great Contribution
While Lu Mingfei was exploring cyberspace, the negotiations continued.

"Are you planning to rob the company's goods?"

"This wasn't a robbery. I didn't know it was the company's goods. It was just a wonderful coincidence."

"You seem to have quite a few connections. Did you snatch it from the wilderness? Aren't you afraid of military tech retaliation? Let me guess, there aren't any Arasaka people backing you up, are they?"

"Hahahahahahahahaha!! You're really good at telling jokes. But that's the extent of your cunning. Either pay up or get out."

Kem seemed to be irritated by David's subtle sarcasm and his attitude took a sharp turn for the worse.

"You don't really think the three of you can walk out of this factory?"

"What? You haven't heard of me?" David tapped the table lightly.

"Oh, thank God, of course I've heard of you, the little brat who's running around with Sian Westin. When it comes to crazy people, I don't think we can compare to you. I heard that you even use that thing seven times a day at most?" Kem pointed to the back of his head, where Sian Westin was installed.

"But listen up, kid. You haven't even been in the industry for a year. Your parents died and no one told you, so I'm the one taking over. In Night City, only one in ten gangsters can wield a Sian Westin. Even if yours is military-grade, you can't wipe out all my brothers in one go."

Kem leaned forward. "This is my territory. You're driving a Sianwestin. You'll be killed by our mines after taking two steps. And what about hacking? I know you have a hacker with good skills, but if I block the signal, can she still infect us?"

"David, he's right. I've stressed this to you many times before. Remote hacking has these drawbacks. If the enemy knows everything about my intelligence, it'll be hard for me to take action."

Qiwei's voice came from David's headset.

[I can shut down all the external drones, but it will take some time to deal with their network wall. You. Need.————]

The sound was cut off, and as if the timing was right, the laughter gradually became more and more unbridled, and Kem pointed at the camera above his head.

"Little brat, you have no idea that this is the real gun point in Night City!"

No wonder Kum's body is so weak, it turns out he is a hacker.

David had a headache. He was indeed weak against hackers. Although he had a solution, the enemy in front of him was more difficult than he had imagined. It seemed that he would have to pay a price if he wanted to get the goods today.

Just as he was thinking this—

Kara.

[Beep]

The red light of the camera passed David briefly and then gradually moved downwards.

"Ok?"

Kem was stunned.

When I looked up, I was hit by the ray.

Red light gathered on his forehead.

?

Ugh?
This. This is not right, right?
This, this, this, who is trying to harm me!
".This is!!"

Kem's body suddenly stiffened, his neck trembling, his eyes kept darting around, and finally - fixed on Lu Mingfei, who had a look of "Oh, something bad happened" on his face.

Lu Mingfei really felt that he was in trouble.

His mind was still wandering in cyberspace when he suddenly realized that the other party had sent an order, so he subconsciously fought back.

It's an instinctive reaction similar to "subconsciously slapping someone's hand away after they touch your shoulder."

Only after he finished the job did Lu Mingfei realize that something had gone wrong.

He hacked someone else's device right under their nose, and when they were about to use it, he impatiently slapped it over.

Why does it sound like an ntr yellow-haired guy?

Lu Mingfei is worthy of being Lu Mingfei. His mind is a mess and he is thinking about all sorts of things every second, but in reality, everyone only cares about the red data stream in Lu Mingfei's eyes.

I guessed what he was doing.

"You! Your team has a hacker?!" Kem screamed. "And to be able to hack my camera so quickly and silently, what a skilled guy! Damn it! Why is there no way to counter-hack?! Who is it! How could I not know such a skilled hacker on the street! Damn it, damn it, damn it! You planned this all along! You despicable villains!"

David: "."

Lu Mingfei: "."

I have told you everything I want to say, what else can I say?
Rebecca slammed the table and stood up: "Ha! You're talking about the market, who the fuck is wuwuwuwuwuwu————"

David covered Rebecca's mouth, turned his head to look at Lu Mingfei, and then nodded.

"Yes, I did it on purpose." Lu Mingfei also nodded.

"Yes, I am strong."
-
Not long after, several people left the Whole Foods factory carrying the goods.

The Vortex Gang didn't really fight in the first place. Controlling the cameras to deter hackers was essentially like 'pointing a gun at you'. Although it was provocative, no blood was shed in the end.

But if a fight really breaks out, there will be no explanation and they will be completely at odds with each other.

Since there is no way to use hacking methods against David, the Vortex Gang has no interest in confronting this famous newcomer in the underworld head-on. It is not worth it.

"The mission was successfully completed."

David sank back into the car and took up a corner of the back seat.

"Let me guess, killed everyone again?"

Qiwei asked without surprise. In fact, this was not the first time that David and others were targeted by hackers. It was just that David would deal with the hackers in a more brutal way in the past, just like what the Whirlpool Gang leader did to Lucy. If Sian Westin drove fast enough, the hackers would be useless.

But this time.
"No, this time it's Ming Fei's credit."

Maybe it was an illusion, but David had a bit of pride on his face. Being able to choke Qiwei made him feel very fresh.

"Now the team's shortcomings have been completely made up - be happy, Qiwei, you and Lucy will be considered Mingfei's half-masters from now on."

David told Qiwei what happened inside, and the latter's expression instantly became interesting.

"Fuck! As a teacher, how could I not know that my students have the ability to hack into the camera in seconds under the noses of the Vortex Gang, and even compete with them for control!" Perhaps because he encountered something beyond common sense, this serious hacker couldn't help but curse out loud.

Coincidentally, Lu Mingfei also climbed onto the car stealthily from behind. He was a little nervous. Although it seemed like he had succeeded by accident, he was still not sure how he performed.

Seeing this, Qi Wei stepped over David and slapped Lu Mingfei on the butt as he entered.

"Well done, newbie."

"Why!!?"

Lu Mingfei hadn't reacted yet and was holding his butt with a look of grievance on his face.

"It's really beautiful! It's a pity that I can't see your legendary headshot technique. David said you are a commando, so you have to open my eyes in the future!" Rebecca in the front seat also turned around and patted Lu Mingfei's raised butt, but the gorilla's arm was really painful.

"Hey?!"

Lu Mingfei was still making strange noises.

"Newcomer, I was wrong before because I suspected that you could cut the gallbladder on the spot. You did a great job. I don't like the car being covered with the smell of blood every time." Falco, the driver in the front seat, also praised.

And finally——

"Well done Mingfei."

David patted Lu Mingfei's back just above his butt.

"I told you, you would be an excellent mercenary."

"."

Lu Mingfei accepted the compliment silently. After a moment of hesitation, he quickly lowered his head and touched his head with his hand.

".Not that good. Ahem."

No one would praise him like this before, hehe, hehe
No, no, I'm not getting carried away by a few compliments. Do you think Mr. Lu Mingfei is some frivolous, easy-to-conquer character? Stop kidding!
"So, that's the name, okay?"

David gestured to Falco to drive, then turned and asked Lu Mingfei.

When the three of them escaped from the Whole Foods factory, the angry Kem asked about Lu Mingfei's identity - it seemed that Lu Mingfei did not leave a criminal record after killing everyone in the northern industrial zone, which was good news.

But now
"Well, just use that one. It's simple and clear."

Lu Mingfei nodded and thought to himself, although it seems that I accidentally made a joke.

David nodded and took out a wine glass from the car's small refrigerator.

"Well then, congratulations to our new member for successfully passing the test and joining the team."

"Temporary worker: [L]."

It’s really embarrassing.

　[Currently available information]:
　　Some readers feel that Lu Mingfei’s actions do not fit in with the setting of 2077 at all. I cannot give spoilers in the book, so I can only explain it again this way.

　　I have mentioned in the book no less than five times that there is dragon blood in this cyberpunk world. David and Lu Mingfei both have it. Why would I still want to apply the original cyberpunk setting? There is no possibility that the principles of prosthetics and hacking are actually related to the "dragon clan" worldview.
　　It’s okay for Scarlet to read a book, but don’t scold me (crying)
