Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Bullet Screen Wish Machine

Lu Mingfei felt that he was sick.

Insomnia, night sweats, and vivid dreams.

Every morning when I wake up, my back aches and my vision is blurry.

For example, right now—

"Lu Mingfei, it's time to pay the class fees. Our class is only missing yours."

Class monitor Zhao Menghua stood in front of him and tapped the table with his textbook.

Lu Mingfei stared blankly at him.

At that moment, a line of white Chinese characters floated over Zhao Menghua's head:

[Torture Zhao Menghua!]

Lu Mingfei thought he was hallucinating from staying up all night. He blinked hard, and then more floating words appeared:

[Defeat Zhao Menghua in the monthly exam.]

[He took Zhao Menghua as his subordinate.]

[Borrowing Chen Wenwen adds a healthy touch to Zhao Menghua's life.]

[Let Zhao Menghua fall into a state of abduction.]

【…】

All sorts of strange, even absurd, comments popped up all at once.

A flood of data rushed into his mind, and Lu Mingfei finally understood everything before him.

Something called the "Wishing Machine" descended upon the world and chose him. There was a group of "spectators" from beyond dimensions observing him in a way that Lu Mingfei could not comprehend.

They made various requests to the wish-granting machine, and the machine assigned the task to him.

In return, Lu Mingfei receives 1 wish point for each wish he fulfills.

Wish points can be used for lucky draws. Once you collect 10 points, you can perform a guaranteed 10-pull.

Once he was sure he wasn't dreaming, Lu Mingfei suddenly snapped to attention.

Are you kidding me?!

A higher-dimensional observer?

Does it refer to aliens?

Why would aliens be so bored as to observe the life of an ordinary high school boy?!

If that's the case, doesn't that mean... he'll have no privacy at all from now on?

If we don't complete the mission, what if the aliens get upset and destroy Earth?

Lu Mingfei looked miserable. Although he had dreamt before that one day a group of guys wearing sunglasses and black suits would arrive at Shilan Middle School in a helicopter, saying that they were chosen by the organization, and then they would welcome the Dragon King back to his throne in front of the whole school... this was completely different from what he had imagined!

Lu Mingfei tried to communicate with the "Wishing Machine," begging it to spare him, but received no response.

And how come Chen Wenwen is involved in this?!

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes wide and read the comments carefully again.

Stealing Chen Wenwen away...

Lu Mingfei's breathing became rapid.

wrong!

When did Chen Wenwen get involved with Zhao Menghua?

How could she possibly like Zhao Menghua?!

She's a good girl!

After a long while, Lu Mingfei suddenly let out a breath.

Well, it's not impossible.

Zhao Menghua is both scholarly and martial, and handsome. He's hailed as "the next Chu Zihang." It's quite normal for girls to like someone like that.

Nevertheless, when Lu Mingfei saw this comment, he felt as if a thorn had been stuck in his heart, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Never mind..."

Lu Mingfei slumped his head and lay back down on the table.

As someone with little ambition, he didn't want to fulfill any of these wishes... Just as Lu Mingfei was about to continue slacking off, another line of text suddenly popped up in front of him.

[First Draw Bonus: Complete any task to unlock the prize pool; this single draw guarantees a pity reward.]

Lu Mingfei: "..."

Ha, it's just a trick to get people to spend money!

These days, online game developers are best at this kind of thing. I never thought that aliens would learn such a despicable trick... Lu Mingfei thought to himself as he opened the panel to check the lottery pool.

"I'll just see what the reward is; it's not like taking a look will cost me anything..."

Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

As a staunch free-to-play player, Lu Mingfei never plays pay-to-win online games—mainly because he doesn't have the money.

[Advanced Rewards Pool (Unlocked)]:

Star Platinum, Saiyan bloodline, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Word of Power: Kamaitachi...

[Intermediate Reward Pool (Not Yet Unlocked)]:

Hypnosis app, time stop switch (1 hour), world modulator...

[Lower-level reward pool]:

Bullet tracking, personal storage space (one cubic meter), free coupons...

[Pull-out Pit]:

Maybach 62, PS2 (European limited edition), Patek Philippe Ref. 5207...

Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat—

PS2!

It's a limited edition!

He almost skipped over the dazzling list of rewards, only lingering on "Platinum Star" for a few seconds before his gaze was fixed on the PS2.

Lu Mingfei didn't understand anything about cars or watches, but he dreamed of owning his own game console. He had saved up his allowance for three years since junior high school, wanting to buy a second-hand PS2. But just a few days ago, he accidentally broke his uncle's Titoni watch, and his cousin Lu Mingze found out about it. Under Lu Mingze's threats, Lu Mingfei's savings of three years were all extorted.

Now, a PS2—a brand new limited edition—is right in front of him, and Lu Mingfei has to consider that this might not be his only chance in this lifetime…

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have any lottery points at all!

This won't do!

As the glittering PS2 receded into the distance, almost involuntarily, Lu Mingfei recalled the mission he had seen above Zhao Menghua's head earlier.

You can get 1 wish point by completing any one of them, and use it for your first draw.

This single pull also has a pity system...

Even if you don't get the limited edition PS2, you can still buy a brand new game console by selling the other rewards!

Lu Mingfei was tempted.

but……

Are these tasks really that easy to complete?

[Torture Zhao Menghua!]

Lu Mingfei looked at his thin arms and legs and tentatively tried to communicate with the wishing machine:

"Could I try out the Platinum Star first?"

The wishing machine coldly and ruthlessly rejected him.

[Defeat Zhao Menghua in the monthly exam.]

The monthly exam is the day after tomorrow, which is 48 hours away... Is there any memory bread I can eat?

[He took Zhao Menghua as his subordinate.]

It's embarrassing to admit, but even Zhao Menghua didn't want him as a lackey.

[Stealing Chen Wenwen away...]

...Chen Wenwen and Zhao Menghua are innocent! This mission simply doesn't exist!

There were also things like female abduction, and Lu Mingfei briefly imagined the scene and thought the wishing machine should pay him compensation for his mental distress.

He went through all his "wishes" in his mind and found that he couldn't even get 1 point!

hateful!

Lu Mingfei panicked.

Because the money for the game console was taken away, he has been unable to eat or sleep for the past two days and is almost obsessed!

At the very least, give him a chance...

"Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingfei!"

Suddenly, someone called him.

Lu Mingfei looked up and a girl wearing a plain cotton dress and with soft, straight hair came into his view.

"I just called you."

Chen Wenwen frowned.

Lu Mingfei suddenly opened his mouth wide and stared straight at her.

Because he discovered that the number of wishes appearing above Chen Wenwen's head was actually much greater than the number appearing above Zhao Menghua's head!
