Dragon Raja: Entry by Lu Mingfei

The night is getting darker.

After dinner, Su Xiaoqiang pulled Lu Mingfei to watch a movie.

The living room was bathed in the warm light emanating from the television screen. The two of them nestled side by side in the soft sofa, their hands clasped together.

The screen is showing "Flipped," a newly released romance film.

Those tender and fleeting moments of first love made the air seem to carry a touch of sweetness.

However, the movie's pace was a bit slow, and when he encountered some rather mundane scenes, Lu Mingfei found himself lost in thought.

It has been 3 days since I posted my introduction to my Word of Power and the "bounty" for the Imaginary Stone.

But still no one provided him with any clues.

All I can say is that the buyer of the Imaginary Stone is too mysterious.

"It seems that relying solely on the strength of Kassel College is not enough."

After some thought, Lu Mingfei finally made up his mind—to create an alias and then post a bounty on the dark web.

During his conversation with Fingel, he learned that there were some shady websites hidden deep within the dark web, specifically for people to post bounties.

Whether it's a living person's life or a precious treasure, as long as you're willing to pay the price, there will always be desperate criminals willing to take it.

"But I don't know the URLs of these shady websites..."

Lu Mingfei scratched his hair in frustration.

His first thought was Fingel, the strongest "repeater" in Kassel who seemed like a "good-for-nothing" who just lazed around all day, but was actually a hacker who was hiding his true abilities.

Ask him about these kinds of things, and he'll always find the right answer.

But then Lu Mingfei thought about it again and put the idea out of his head.

Fingel's big mouth is more sensitive than the alarm system at Kassel College; he might just turn around and expose his "alias" to the entire college group.

At that moment, a panda icon suddenly flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind.

Old Tang!

Someone from outside Kassel College!

Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that when Lao Tang had bragged to him before, he said that he was a bounty hunter who traveled all over the country to take on jobs and knew all sorts of strange and unusual methods.

This guy might know about these shady websites.

Thinking this, Lu Mingfei clicked on Old Tang's profile picture.

Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up, and he quickly opened QQ, finding the profile picture labeled "Old Tang (Panda Head)".

The chat history stopped five days ago, the day he had just stepped onto American soil with his suitcase.

Mingming: [Old Tang, I've arrived in America. When are you going to keep your promise and take me on a Greyhound bus tour around the US??]

Old Tang: [I'm always ready! Mingming, just let me know when you're free, I'll be waiting for you here!]

Mingming: [So loyal! But I just started school recently, so I'm a bit busy. I'll come visit you when I have some free time!]

Old Tang: [Sure, I can't wait! I really want to meet you in person!]

Upon seeing their chat history, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but smile slightly.

He and Lao Tang had never met in person, and he didn't even know each other's real names. Yet, this friendship with Lao Tang, formed through years of online interaction, became one of the few sources of warmth in this unfamiliar country that allowed him to let his guard down.

Lu Mingfei rapidly tapped his fingers on the phone screen and sent a message.

Mingming: [Old Tang, I have a question for you. Do you know any gray-area websites? You know, the kind where you can post bounty tasks, the more discreet the better.]

Old Tang: [Are you talking about the hunter website?]

Old Tang replied almost instantly.

Mingming: [More or less!]

Immediately afterwards, a website link with a garbled suffix appeared, and Old Tang's messages flooded the screen—

Old Tang: [Mingming, are you going to accept a task or post one? The employers on this website don't show their faces when posting cases; only those with sufficient level can view the details and decide whether to accept the task.]

Mingming: [I'm posting a quest; I want to offer a bounty for a rare item.]

Old Tang: [What is it? Tell me, maybe I can help you get it! I'm not bragging this time, I'm considered a top-tier hunter on this hunter website!]

Old Tang: [Gold Medal Hunter.jpg]

Mingming: [Wow!!! Old Tang, you're amazing! You're a gold medal hunter? You've been hiding it well!]

Old Tang: [Keep it down, Mingming, just tell me what you want the bounty for?]

Mingming: [The Stone of Imagination.]

Old Tang: [!? You mean the Imaginary Stone you're talking about, the priceless treasure that sold for a staggering $2 million at the Sobis auction last month? I think I vaguely remember it; it was even on the news. But the buyer's identity is a mystery; even no one in our hunter community knows who it is.]

Old Tang: [Mingming, you're something else, actually offering a bounty for this thing? Are you a hidden rich kid? Were you just pretending to be poor before?]

Mingming: [I'm not a rich kid! I've just been doing pretty well lately. Next time, I'll treat you to a ride in my Bugatti.]

Old Tang: [???]

Old Tang: [Bugatti?! You've really struck it rich, kid! But I can't really help with treasures like the Imaginary Stone. There aren't many people in the industry who can afford to get close to it, but I'll keep an eye out for you and let you know as soon as anything happens.]

Mingming: [Thanks! Old Tang! You're a true friend!]

Old Tang: [Further words are pointless. Shall we cut a plate?]

Mingming: [Wait for me for half an hour, I'm watching a movie.]

Old Tang: [Got it, got it, spending time with your girlfriend, huh? *scornful*. You've been offline almost nonexistent lately, nobody else can beat you. A true master is lonely, finally found someone to fight.]

Mingming: [I got new equipment, I'm definitely going to beat you this time!]

Old Tang: [You've got some nerve, kid. Don't make excuses if you lose!]

Half an hour later, the movie ended.

"Boss, I'm going to play some games."

"StarCraft?"

Su Xiaoqiang raised an eyebrow, her tone conveying a sense of understanding.

"Uh-huh."

Lu Mingfei nodded vigorously, "Old Tang is bragging again, I have to teach him a lesson."

"Then I'll learn how!"

She knew that Lu Mingfei liked playing StarCraft, so she had tried it out before.

However, StarCraft is indeed a high-skill game, and Su Xiaoqiang didn't want to play it after only two rounds.

Now it's time to see how Lu Mingfei operates.

Soon, the battle between Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang began.

Old Tang is considered a master, but he's no match for Lu Mingfei.

He used to have few rivals when playing StarCraft with a red dot mouse, but now that he's got the latest mouse and computer, his skills are even more outrageous.

What does it mean to be the King of the Stars?

Watching Lu Mingfei's fingers fly across the keyboard, even leaving a series of afterimages.

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment.

How is she supposed to learn like this!

Faced with Lu Mingfei unleashing his full firepower, Lao Tang only lasted 10 minutes before calling GG.

Old Tang: [Again! I wasn't paying attention this time!]

In just 10 minutes, Lu Mingfei's Zerg army swept through his crystal with overwhelming force.

Old Tang: [Mingming, are you cheating?!]

Mingming: [This is all hand-crafted. I told you before, I just wasn't using my full strength before. If you're bad, just practice more!]

Old Tang: [I don't believe you, let's try again!]

Lu Mingfei crushed Lao Tang 7 or 8 times in a row, each game lasting less than ten minutes, leaving Lao Tang questioning his existence.

Old Tang: [I give up, bro, I have a bit of diarrhea, I'm out of here, I'll fight you again next time!]

Old Tang simply chose to make a hasty escape.
