Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Bullet Screen Wish Machine

"We've been tricked."

Zhou Minhao's face looked very pale:

"I thought Zhao Xuzhen was trying to pressure the Zhou family to withdraw their protection of his 'fiancée,' but actually he was trying to distract us."

Zhou Minhao stared at the Seal of Solomon on the ground, as if he wanted to gouge it out with his gaze:

"Just now, Millennium Labor Export Company was attacked. They lost a batch of documents, most of which are related to Baidi City..."

Zhou Minhao frowned.

"Millennial labor force?"

Lu Mingfei vaguely felt that the name sounded familiar; it seemed to be a local security company.

"In the world of hybrids, there is an organization called 'Hunter Network'. Because the website is relatively confidential, many hybrids post missions and exchange information on it. Those who accept missions and earn rewards are called bounty hunters."

Wan Boqian explained, "That Millennium Labor Export Company appears to be doing legitimate business, but in reality, their boss is a seasoned hunter, and their employees are involved in selling intelligence and robbing dragon tombs."

Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed because his mixed-race parents were indeed digging up a dragon's tomb.

Zhou Minhao nodded:

"The Zhou family commissioned Millennium Company to acquire a batch of ancient books related to the ancient Shu civilization from an antique dealer. The items were stored at their company headquarters. Our people originally planned to pick them up tomorrow, but Zhao Xuzhen robbed them."

Upon hearing this, Wan Boqian took a step back without making a sound, shielding Lu Mingfei in front of her.

Judging from Zhou Minhao's posture, a fight might break out... Wan Boqian is preparing to run away.

Wan Boqian has a clear understanding of her own position. Passionately slashing with alchemical weapons is something that only A-level or even S-level hybrids can do. She is just an intelligent radar. What makes her think she can fight against artificial monsters riding dragons?

Unfortunately, she didn't manage to escape; Zhou Minhao grabbed her in one swift motion.

"Miss Wan, please convey my message to Kassel, saying that the Zhou family wants to have a good talk with your school about the [Kuimen Operation]."

"Kuimen?"

Lu Mingfei heard an unfamiliar word.

"That's the Three Gorges Reservoir as it is today."

Zhou Minhao simply explained, "Have you heard of Baidi City?"

"I know, I know, he entrusted his son to someone in Baidi City."

Lu Mingfei, a high school student, possesses far more extensive knowledge than Wan Boqian, a college student.

"It is said that Liu Bei had five hundred axemen lying in ambush outside the gate, ready to rush in and chop Liu Shan into mincemeat should Zhuge Liang show any intention of declaring himself emperor..."

"Where did this unofficial history come from?!"

Wan Boqian complained.

"I'm not talking about Baidi City from Li Bai's poem, but the one from the ancient Shu civilization."

Zhou Minhao took a broom, dipped it in the ashes on the ground, drew a line, and then drew a small circle on the line:

"This is the Yangtze River, this is the Three Gorges Reservoir section, and the submerged ruins of Baidi City are located in this area."

"Is this city related to dragons?"

Lu Mingfei asked.

Zhou Minhao nodded:

"To be more precise, the master of this lost city is a dragon king."

"Sounds like Atlantis."

Wan Boqian knew she couldn't escape, so she simply joined the discussion.

She looked at the abstract painting on the ground:

"White Emperor City, White Emperor... does that refer to the legendary White King?"

"No."

Zhou Minhao denied her speculation:

"The 'white' here refers to the classification in the Five Elements, that is, the color of Geng metal in the west in the Yin-Yang Five Elements theory. The meaning of 'White Emperor' is actually 'King of Metals'."

The master of White Emperor City is Norton, one of the four great monarchs, the King of Bronze and Fire.

He unconsciously lowered his voice when he said the name.

"Was that Templar Knight stealing the data in an attempt to enter White Emperor City?"

Lu Mingfei pondered, "Is the Dragon King's treasure buried inside?"

"Perhaps the Dragon King himself is buried there."

Wan Boqian said quietly.

"The King of Bronze and Fire is the supreme master in the field of alchemy. If this city was truly created by him, it is very likely that it would still be running today."

Zhou Minhao pointed at Xiaoquan with a broom:

"We speculate that it may contain a batch of pure-blooded dragon embryos, which would be priceless to the Solomon Temple."

Why are you telling me all this?

Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.

Kuimen, Baidi City, Dragon King... This is clearly a rather big secret.

Logically, such secrets should not be discussed with "outsiders".

"Because I want to talk to you about cooperation."

"We've only just met, and you already trust me that much?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Minhao smiled and tapped his glasses frame:

"Although it's our first meeting, I saw the eyes of a high-ranking hybrid. When I mentioned the Dragon King, there was no fear in your eyes, only a thirst for new things."

"Your praise makes me feel a little embarrassed."

Lu Mingfei's expression was subtle.

However, he did not agree immediately, but asked instead:

"The specifics of the cooperation... is it to attack Zhao Xuzhen?"

"Don't worry, we don't even know where Zhao Xuzhen is, how could we possibly fight him?"

Zhou Minzhen said:

"It's an exploration mission with virtually no danger. We plan to complete the salvage operation in the waters surrounding Baidi City before they finish analyzing the data, which can be considered an archaeological mission."

"An archaeological expedition, huh...?"

Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment:

"You, a prestigious and orthodox family, need outside help for something like this?"

"This time, it is not convenient for our Zhou family to send out our core members."

Zhou Minhao said:

"The affairs of Shu are under the jurisdiction of the Chen family. Although we suspect that there is a first-generation species sleeping in Baidi City, we must respect the other orthodox families before we get concrete evidence."

The Zhou family is merely the nominal eldest brother within the legitimate family; they are neither the father nor the leader. Without a legitimate reason, they cannot interfere in the affairs of other families.

"Even if there really is a dragon king inside, the Chen family won't tell you, right?"

Lu Mingfei speaks more directly.

Now that he had a clever head, he quickly figured out the key to it.

The flesh, bones, and even blood of pure-blooded dragons are highly valuable, not to mention the remains of a dragon king. If one can swallow it oneself, one certainly wouldn't let others touch it.

"They have their own partners."

Zhou Minhao glanced at Wan Boqian.

So Lu Mingfei learned that the Chen family was getting close to Western mixed-race forces, and the "partner" Zhou Minhao mentioned should be Kassel.

From the information left behind by Chu Tianjiao at his hunter's hut, Lu Mingfei learned that the four monarchs were all extremely powerful and dangerous beings. They could not even be truly killed. The monarchs who "fell" in this era would raise their battle flags in the next era and ascend the throne again.

The collaboration between the Chen family and Kassel College is probably a form of double insurance.

If there were no first-generation species of the Dragon King level in Baidi City, everyone would happily divide up the legacy of the Bronze and Flame King.

If so, let the students of Kassel go first. After all, they have always considered themselves dragon slayers. If Kassel can't hold on either, then notify the Zhou family to clean up the mess.

Lu Mingfei inexplicably thought of what Zhou Minhao had said before:

A mixed-race family that drags the team down, a capitalist group that profits from selling drugs of corruption, a doomsday cult, surrenderists, traitors...

"What is the purpose of the exploration?"

Lu Mingfei asked.

"Find evidence."

Zhou Minhao was very frank:

"According to our intelligence agencies, the Chen family has reached a cooperation agreement with Kassel and is preparing to jointly develop Baidi City."

His gaze swept over Wan Boqian, a golden light gleaming in his eyes:

"Out of a sense of righteousness in slaying dragons, if the dragons sleeping in Baidi City are of a second generation or lower, then we will not interfere."

But for the same reason, if we find evidence suggesting the existence of the Dragon King… the Zhou family of Xiangyang will intervene and take over the subsequent operations.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei suddenly had a strange feeling.

Zhou Minhao... seems to really want to drag the Zhou family behind him down with him?
