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

Chapter 75: Finger: No, buddy?
Lu Mingfei had done his homework on the voice behind him. In the United States, this was a typical begging phrase, asking for a dollar, just like the lotus flower song sung by beggars in ancient China.

Although many Chinese people will panic when they encounter this kind of problem abroad, firstly, they may not understand it clearly, and secondly, even if they understand it, they don’t know whether they should give it.

After all, there are many homeless people in foreign countries, and their wandering is endless. If you give one, you just have to wait to meet another non-randomly refreshed NPC.

This is especially true in Night City.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei's English and the experience he gained in Night City were enough to deal with this situation.

He turned his head and said, instinctively.

"Fuck you."

Oops, I said the wrong thing.

Simple and concise English is suitable for Night City, but not for America. Lu Mingfei regretted it as soon as he said it.

The man in front of him was even more stunned.

He was a tall and sturdy young man. His face, hidden by his beard, was quite handsome. His eyes, shining like candlelight, were full of desire. His dark green plaid shirt and loose-fitting skirted trousers had not been washed or changed for who knows how long.

After being scolded, the man immediately showed a shocked expression and stood there in a daze.

And what about Lu Mingfei?
Lu Mingfei was also stunned.

It wasn't because the other person looked sloppy. There were many dirtier guys in Night City than this man. Even if a fat naked man wearing a Fergie cup was dancing Gangnam Style in front of him, Lu Mingfei wouldn't even blink.

Lu Mingfei was surprised because his artificial eye showed that the man in front of him was not normal.

Background: [Artificial Eyes] have evolved into [Electric Current Propulsion] in this world, and Lu Mingfei can use this skill to roughly sense the position, height, basic information and other data of the person in front of him, but in certain special circumstances, an information window will pop up directly.

That is - now.

[Currently available information]

Finger von Frings

A repeater at Kassel College, affiliated with the Student Union's News Department. In a sense, he's a good brother to you and all the other students at Kassel College, but it seems impossible to learn any qualities, knowledge, or any other useful traits from this man.

Having said that, it does not mean that the man has no advantages. He is very talented in mathematics and is a computer genius, but his knowledge is not used in the right way. The secret makes the man full of charm, but the man named Finger refutes this view with himself as evidence.

I hope you won't be scared when he reveals his disguise, brother.]

The characters in the story appear.

Lu Mingfei subconsciously scanned him again with his artificial eye, but found something even stranger than the information window.

Trying hard to hide his surprise, Lu Mingfei spoke to Finkel.

"Uh, sorry, it's just a reflex. I don't speak much English, I'am sorry~"

"Chinese?"

Lu Mingfei thought his remedy was futile, but the other party seemed to notice his nationality and immediately switched to fluent Chinese. "It's okay, it's okay. I understand. Foreign languages ​​usually start with swear words, just like black people only know about sunshine, rainbows, and little white horses. Compared to this, please give me some money to buy a Coke. I'm not a beggar. I just lost my wallet when I was out."

"I don't have any money either, what a pity." Lu Mingfei was not lying. He had hundreds of thousands of euros in his wallet in Night City, but in the real world, he was a complete pauper. All the money he had on him was kept in the suitcase he carried with him.

That thing has long since flown to who knows where in the world it is.

Lu Mingfei's sincere expression gained Finkel's trust, and he tilted his head back in an exaggerated manner.

"Oh! Damn! - Well, Fingel von Frings, I'm really not a beggar, I'm a college student." In order to prove his identity, the young man took out a card similar to an ID card from the bag on his back. On the front was a rather showy selfie of Fingel, and on the back was a pattern of a giant tree with lush branches and leaves painted in silver.

Although, I already knew it.

Lu Mingfei pretended to confirm the school badge and nodded.

"I'm a freshman, Lu Mingfei."

"Junior! Dear! Although we have no money, at least we can stand side by side, drink the northwest wind and beg everyone who passes by." Finkel grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand with a burning look in his eyes.

Three minutes later.

The two of them sat sprawled on a bench in the waiting area, watching passersby leave one after another.

Neither of them had anything to eat or drink.

The two chatted about everything, including "Resident Evil IV", "Dynasty Warriors" and "Dragon Quest". Fingel seemed to know everything, and such a otaku-like appearance really didn't look like a top student.

Apart from the 'mysterious' part of the other party in the information panel, Lu Mingfei felt that this person had similar characteristics to him.

They had a very pleasant conversation and were just one step away from becoming sworn brothers. Their favorability developed significantly - unfortunately, there were some setbacks in the financial journey. After all, no one is willing to pay for a beggar or a otaku.

"Gu Gu."

"How pathetic, Junior Brother." Finger, whose stomach was making strange noises, looked a little dazed. "We, as highly evolved humans, have lost our way in our own city. We can't find food, let alone our way home. When I think of the dogs in the skyscrapers across from me in Chicago eating dog food to build muscle and strengthen bones, I can't help but cry."

"Brother, your Chinese is really good. This even rhymes." Lu Mingfei sighed, then rolled his eyes and said, "In fact, humans are also part of nature. Here, the underlying logic of the survival of the fittest still prevails. Dogs are just appendages of the strong."

"Oh, junior brother, you have a lot of insights." Finkel became interested.

His eyes changed slightly, from being sloppy at first to having some depth in them.

"That's not necessary." Lu Mingfei said with a smile.

As a junior, he also wanted to help his senior solve his problems, so he began to quickly scan the station.

"In fact, humans are also part of nature. As long as we work hard to find them, we will find many unexpected ways to get food." "Huh?" Finkel became interested, and his back, which was as wide as a wooden stake, straightened instantly.

"Appreciate further details."

Having said this, Lu Mingfei had already started moving his eyes, and seemed very serious.

But why do his eyes keep circling around the trash can?
Does he want to pick up the bread from the trash can and eat it?

It's a stereotype that there's always bread hidden in foreign trash cans, but it's not entirely unfounded.

Some bread is not bad, it is just put in the trash can.
"Junior, there are usually oil thieves crawling around in the bread in the trash can~" Finkel tried to scare Lu Mingfei, but the next second, he was shocked by the other party's answer.

"Oh, that's okay too."

Lu Mingfei said as a matter of course.

Oil thief?
He doesn't care.

"."

Finkel stared at Lu Mingfei blankly for a long time, then pursed his lips and slowly reached for his shoes.

He took off his shoes, removed the insoles, and pulled out two silver coins.

".Junior, don't be like this, it's my treat."

two dollar, two dollar.

Fingle, twenty-seven years old.

In the 27th year of my life, I invited a man to dinner for the first time.

The two of them planned to spend a night at the train station to wait for the train. After all, they were both strong young men. Even Brother Fingel, who was almost 30 years old, had a very strong body.

The two of them lay down, each with their own ulterior motives.

Electric current cannot detect things like muscle density, otherwise he would find that the [physical] values ​​he trained in Night City through the [chip] and life and death training were far lower than that of this useless senior brother.

However, his [Electric Current Push] can also see obvious problems.

For example, when he scans the mercenaries in Night City, he will most likely be able to use this method to determine the number of prosthetics they carry.

And the moment he scanned Finkel, he was just planning to use this method to test whether the other party was carrying any weapons.

However.
He scanned it.

[A second scan of him with his prosthetic eye revealed something even stranger than the information window.]

That's in the back of Fingle's head.
Covered by the long, messy brown hair.
Brain-computer interface

and its extension into the brain.
Frontal cortex

【operating system】

This man has a [prosthetic] that he has never seen before?!

really.

Just as I thought, Dragon World is related to Cyberpunk.

Lu Mingfei already had some guesses about Finkel's identity.

After Chen Motong debunked the superstition that "everyone at Kassel Academy is a monster", and obtained the information that "Norma" was an artificial intelligence, Lu Mingfei had a doubt ever since.

That is - who is the "Bull Slayer of Flame" who killed me on the horse?
You know, Norma is the god of the Internet, and even if Norma only uses less than 10% of his computing power, the only monster in the world who can be compared with him is Lu Mingfei, who masters the [Electric Current Drive].

Anyone who wants to reach Lu Mingfei's level, or even defeat Lu Mingfei in cyberspace, must be a "genius" among humans. No, a genius among geniuses, an existence that breaks all common sense.

There is no mention of such a powerful master in the student Night Watchman forum.

An attempt to conduct a large-scale check of the student list also yielded no results.

As an important figure marked by Lu Mingze, Finkel has a very prominent introduction in his introduction panel.

'Computer genius'.

First of all, we should rule out the memes made by C language experts.

The genius that Lu Mingze recognized, the sudden lateness of the Kassel shuttle bus, and Finkel who happened to appear at the train station for no apparent reason, all seemed to be hiding something.

Although Lu Mingfei felt that he and Finkel were like-minded, he became alert in his heart.

But
[Would they really do it so blatantly? ]

Or.
[He, did it on purpose?]

On the other side——

(Ah, I was discovered.)

Using his strong arms as a pillow under his head, Finkel's eyes were covered by his hair, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved upwards.

Then
What would you do, Lu Mingfei?
