Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Bullet Screen Wish Machine

"The dead are all gathered...the undead are all summoned together? Wait, this phrase comes from the *Zizhi Tongjian*, not the *Magic Book of Jin*... *Wang* means to flee, and I just picked up a record yesterday, *Desperados*! So *Wangzu* refers to deserters...it was caused by the Tang Dynasty's reduction of troops in the regional military commands!"

Lu Mingfei decisively chose the answer and moved on to the next question.

"Which of the following articles depicts Confucius's ideal personality, governing philosophy, and life ideals, while also embodying his educational philosophy of teaching according to aptitude? I seem to remember this one, what's it called... Confucius's sharp critique of his disciples' ambitions, from ambitious to unambitious? No, no, it's 'Zilu, Zeng Xi, Ran You, and Gongxi Hua Sitting with Their Disciples'!"

It took Lu Mingfei a full two and a half hours to finally finish the entire comprehensive test. He shook his aching right hand, looked at the answer sheet, and felt quite proud.

I don't know if it's right or wrong, but at least it's all written down!

If your foundation is too weak, it's impossible to become successful overnight.

"Then fill in all the papers first, and then correct all the mistakes..." Lu Mingfei's thinking was clear.

Unbeknownst to him, not far behind him, Su Xiaoqiang was propping her chin up with her hand, observing him with great interest.

Su Xiaoqiang's academic performance was not as good as Zhao Menghua's, but it was much better than Lu Mingfei's. She had finished the test paper half an hour ago.

She thought Lu Mingfei would just write something casually like before, then slump over the table in a daze. But to her surprise, he actually wrote from beginning to end and finished the entire paper before the bell rang.

This was unlike his usual style... Su Xiaoqiang was very surprised.

It is common knowledge that if someone suddenly starts to work hard, it must be because they have been stimulated by something.

A bold guess suddenly formed in Su Xiaoqiang's mind—

He was dumped by Chen Wenwen!

Su Xiaoqiang and Chen Wenwen have always been at odds. She never hesitates to assume the worst about her. This little green tea must have found a better tool and no longer cares about Lu Mingfei, her lackey, so she abandoned him after starting something...

After spending so much time with Lu Mingfei, there should be some affection between them, right?

Chen Wenwen is so mean!

Su Xiaoqiang felt that Lu Mingfei had suddenly become very pitiful.

She looked out the window; a downpour was brewing over the city.

There's a high chance no one will pick up the loser again, so I might as well give him a ride one more time... Su Xiaoqiang thought to herself as she looked toward Lu Mingfei's location.

—Lu Mingfei has disappeared.

………………

Lu Mingfei walked alone toward the direction where the darkest clouds were.

He looked up at the clouds and suddenly a question occurred to him:

"How can you describe heavy rain without mentioning the word 'rain'?"

This question made Lu Mingfei pause for a moment, then he smiled silently.

In the past, he might have excitedly run to ask Chen Wenwen, and if she were willing to discuss the issue at the book club, Lu Mingfei would have been happy all day.

But now...

Find an opportunity to quit the literary society.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

He's not a person who loves literature, so it's not good for him to occupy a membership in the literary society.

Dark clouds surged and the wind howled.

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a long-lost sense of freedom. In his childhood, he lived with his parents in a house in the suburbs, where there were large fields and green grass. Little Lu Mingfei would catch fish in the pond and shrimp in the river. On windy days, he would spread his arms and imagine that he had wings and flew in the sky.

He threw his schoolbag into the air, then jumped up and caught it.

Behind Lu Mingfei, several dozen meters away.

A Mercedes S500 followed slowly.

Watching Lu Mingfei's retreating figure running against the wind, Su Xiaoqiang snorted coldly.

If you don't bring an umbrella when it rains, you'll be in a real hurry!

………………

"Clatter".

Large raindrops pounded on the windshield, splashing out tiny, delicate patterns.

Then came the second, then the third, and in an instant, a torrential downpour began.

"Miss, it's raining."

Inside the Mercedes, driver Chen Fusheng spoke.

Looking at the pitch-black night, Chen Fusheng felt a little nervous.

He doesn't like driving in heavy rain, especially at night.

As people get older, they tend to believe in things. Every rainy night, he would think of an urban legend circulating among local drivers.

Several years ago, a driver took his boss's Maybach onto an elevated highway on a stormy night. The next day, the nearly totaled car appeared at a highway exit several kilometers away, and the driver had mysteriously disappeared...

Chen Fusheng shivered and forced himself to calm down.

In the back seat, Su Xiaoqiang was completely at ease:

"Keep up, Uncle Chen."

Lu Mingfei's home wasn't close to the school, and with the imposing presence of that dark cloud overhead, he wouldn't have gone far before he was soaked to the bone.

Su Xiaoqiang didn't know why she was following behind him; perhaps she felt that Lu Mingfei looked like a cargo carrier today.

When he beat up Zhao Menghua, he was as fierce as a leopard, but when faced with the homeroom teacher's questioning, he was as calm as an old wolf.

But now, the loser can't keep up the act anymore. Once he shows his true colors in the heavy rain, he'll fish the little dog out of the water... Su Xiaoqiang thought to herself.

Lu Mingfei turned a corner and disappeared from sight. Chen Fusheng activated the turn signal and turned on the windshield wipers. Su Xiaoqiang closed her eyes, thinking about how she should face Lu Mingfei later, but more than ten seconds later, the car suddenly braked, startling her awake.

The rearview mirror reflected Chen Fusheng's trembling face. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, his foot on the brake, performing his work as if by muscle memory.

The wipers swung open the curtain of water, and Su Xiaoqiang saw Lu Mingfei.

Or rather, she witnessed a miracle.

On the deserted streets, the rain poured down as if a reservoir in the sky had opened its floodgates.

A figure walked in the rain. Thousands of tons of rain fell to the earth, but stopped above his head, and then drifted to both sides like Moses parting the Sea.

On the ground, the accumulated water gathered into a stream, flowing with great force. When it reached Lu Mingfei, it split in two and went far away.

The rain was heavy, and visibility was only a few dozen meters.

But within Su Xiaoqiang's field of vision, wherever Lu Ming did not choose to go, the wind and rain stopped; wherever Lu Ming did not travel, the wind and rain ceased.

It was as if... the world was making way for him.

The boy simply walked, yet he tamed the entire sky.

Lu Mingfei was very dry, even drier than Su Xiaoqiang—because she was sweating.

Suddenly, Lu Mingfei stopped.

Su Xiaoqiang's heart tightened suddenly.

Lu Mingfei slowly turned around, and a zigzag lightning bolt tore through the clouds, illuminating the black car body and revealing the pair of eyes that were staring at him, eyes deeper than the night.

Su Xiaoqiang's breath hitched.

They've been discovered...

For no apparent reason, a sense of unease, as if being watched by a ferocious beast, arose spontaneously within me.

"ah--"

The engine roared, and under the influence of adrenaline, Chen Fusheng let out a fearful growl as he regained control of his body.

Start in reverse and quickly reverse.

With a muffled thud, the Mercedes S500 crashed into two trash cans, and Chen Fusheng twisted the steering wheel, leaving a long trail on the ground with the tires.

Like a ferocious beast, it smashed through the string of raindrops and sped off into the road illuminated by its xenon headlights.
