Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Bullet Screen Wish Machine

A barrage of comments floated over Chen Wenwen's head:

[Torture Chen Wenwen!]

[Make Chen Wenwen angry.]

[He usurped the position of president of the literary society, led the club to greater heights, and created new glories.]

[Share your reading notes at the book club meeting; Chen Wenwen will be randomly checked afterwards.]

Let Chen Wenwen sing "Mangzhong".

[He defected from Chen Da's gang and joined Su Xiaoqiang's camp.]

[Refuse Chen Wenwen's request once.]

[May Chen Wenwen be blessed with good fortune.]

[Going to the library with Chen Wenwen.]

[A cruel betrayal of Chen Wenwen.]

[His feet were trampled under Chen Wenwen's delicate feet.]

【…】

Lu Mingfei: "..."

Looking at these yellow bullet comments, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but marvel at the diversity of aliens.

"Lu Mingfei!"

The artsy girl called his name again, and Lu Mingfei finally snapped out of his reverie. The girl held a notebook to her chest and lowered her eyes slightly.

"It's Chu Zihang's birthday next week, and he's invited our literary society. I've prepared a collection of his works, so please remember to get it printed."

Lu Mingfei instinctively wanted to agree, but just before he was about to speak, he inexplicably glanced at the live chat:

[Refuse Chen Wenwen's request once.]

I refuse... I refuse Chen Wenwen.

Lu Mingfei's Adam's apple bobbed as he stared intently at the lottery interface.

The wish value above is displayed as "0".

Just... refuse once.

That bright "0" will then change to "1".

Chu Zihang's birthday isn't really that important... after all, they don't even know these second-year high school students.

The literary society received the invitation simply because Chu Zihang's father wanted to make the birthday party more lively. However, Chu Zihang didn't actually have any friends and didn't know who to invite, so he sent out invitations to all the clubs in the school.

Besides, anyone can run errands for printing a document; it doesn't necessarily have to be Lu Mingfei who does it.

Lured by the game console, Lu Mingfei's big head regained control of his body.

He looked at the PS2 in the prize pool and stammered:

"I... I had something to do that day. Um, Senior Brother Chu's birthday is June 1st, right? Some guy asked me to help him play in an internet cafe tournament, but I couldn't get away."

This wasn't the first time Lu Mingfei had lied, but it was the first time he had lied to Chen Wenwen.

When people lie, they often subconsciously add a lot of details. Lu Mingfei's heart pounded, afraid that Chen Wenwen would notice something.

"I see."

Chen Wenwen didn't notice Lu Mingfei's unusual behavior. She thought for a moment:

"But you shouldn't go to internet cafes too often. You'll be a senior in high school soon, so don't let it interfere with your studies."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Normally, Lu Mingfei would have been happy for a while after hearing Chen Wenwen's caring words, but now his body went limp, like a deflated balloon, and he collapsed onto the stool.

Amidst the tension, there was also a subtle...thrill.

He shook his head, came to his senses, and quickly checked the wishing machine panel.

Sure enough, the Wish Value column changed to "1".

Lu Mingfei went to the restroom to wash his hands and then opened the lottery page with a devout expression.

Neither the advanced nor the intermediate lottery pools were available. The low-level lottery pool could yield some superpower-type items, but Lu Mingfei had been unlucky for so many years and was long past the age of being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), so he chose the [Miscellaneous Items Pool] without hesitation.

After taking several deep breaths, he pointed—

The panel changed, and a few seconds later, a blue light flashed.

not good!

Lu Mingfei's expression changed.

He had just read the lottery details.

The light emitted by items of different levels is different when the lottery is drawn!

The premium prize is gold, the mid-tier prize is purple, and the PS2 he wants is a miscellaneous prize, which should emit a white light.

And the blue light is...

Items from the low-level prize pool!

Lu Mingfei was so angry his nose almost twisted out of shape.

Dude, are you crazy?! I specifically chose the worst prize pool, and it veered into a higher prize pool?!

On the lottery page, the wish points I had painstakingly accumulated had returned to 0.

The "warehouse" slot of the wishing machine now has an extra label with the number "1".

Lu Mingfei sighed.

Oh well, I've already done all the drawing.

What can you do if you're just too lucky?

Besides, the items in the lower-tier prize pools are pretty good too; who knows, maybe there'll be a Platinum Star trial card?

Lu Mingfei excitedly opened the warehouse.

"Car keys?"

He frowned.

No, it's not a car key, it just looks a bit like one.

An irregularly shaped octagonal metal box with an orange crystal piece embedded in the center.

[Badge of Courage]:

"The hymn to humanity is the hymn to courage! The greatness of humanity is the greatness of courage! Wear it, and you will be filled with courage!"

Lu Mingfei suddenly grinned silently.

I laughed in exasperation.

After all that trouble, I finally pulled this thing out, and they even sewed two IP addresses into it.

Where am I supposed to find someone who watches both Digimon and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?

Lu Mingfei hung the Courage Badge around his neck as if he were just being nonchalant.

I don't feel any changes... Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

He looked out the window; the sky was overcast, and leaden clouds were pushing in from the southeast. It was foreseeable that this small southern town was about to experience a heavy rain.

Lu Mingfei thought naturally that he should borrow his homeroom teacher's phone to call his uncle to pick him up, and if that didn't work, he could ask any classmate with a car if they would be willing to give him a ride.

Then, he froze.

"How could I dare?!"

Lu Mingfei was shocked.

The class monitor asked the homeroom teacher for a cell phone?!

A child living under someone else's roof had his uncle pick him up in the rain?!

Is this the kind of thinking a loser should have?!

But Lu Mingfei now... feels that both of these things are reasonable.

As a student, it's perfectly normal to ask your homeroom teacher for a phone call to contact your parents.

As a nephew, it's not an unreasonable request for his uncle to pick him up in a downpour.

The homeroom teacher wasn't that petty; in fact, he wished all the parents would drive to pick up their children—it was raining so hard, what if something happened to a student on their way home alone?

Although his uncle is a bit henpecked, he couldn't just leave his nephew alone since Lu Mingfei had called.

After all, his older brother and sister-in-law entrusted Lu Mingfei to him, and Lu Mingfei is currently staying at his house. The BMW that his uncle is driving was bought with the living expenses sent by Lu's parents.

This is just how normal people think, nothing more.

But Lu Mingfei didn't dare to do it before.

Or rather, he subconsciously avoids thinking about these things.

Having endured so much malice, he has become accustomed to bowing his head.

Just like roadside weeds, if you trample on them too much, your spine will never straighten up.

"It's the thing that's working..."

Lu Mingfei looked at the badge of courage in his hand.

When those thoughts of "reversing the heavenly order" surfaced in his mind, he felt no panic, but rather a sense of peace and stability.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Mingfei did not take it off, but instead held it tightly in his palm.

He gripped it so tightly that his palm swelled up, as if he were holding not a metal plate, but a beating heart.
