Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Bullet Screen Wish Machine

"My home is in Xiangyang, but the wafer fab is in Kunshan, which isn't too far from here. Plus, the local policies you offer are quite good, so I'm planning to invest in a semiconductor packaging plant."

Zhou Minhao opened the car refrigerator, took out a bottle of Shaoxing wine from the champagne glass, and then took out two bronze wine vessels from the cabinet:

"If you're free during the Mid-Autumn Festival, come visit me in Kunshan. My friend whose wife was stolen owns a crab farm. Let's go there together and freeload off him."

He poured the yellow wine, held the wine cup loosely in both hands, and then his golden eyes lit up.

Then Lu Mingfei saw flames emanating from his palm, like a flowing, red-hot branding iron, and the yellow wine in the cup gradually heated up under the heat of the flames.

Not long after, Zhou Minhao withdrew his supernatural powers and let out a long breath, as if controlling the flames had been quite a drain on him.

"The Kamaitachi can't do that."

Zhou Minhao handed the warmed rice wine to Lu Mingfei with a smug look on his face and said loudly:

"Having been intoxicated by wine and satiated by virtue, may the virtuous live ten thousand years, enjoying boundless blessings."

Lu Mingfei couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop him from guessing that it was an ancient toasting phrase. So, he imitated Zhou Minhao and took a small sip of yellow wine.

Then Zhou Minhao smiled slightly:

"I drugged the drink."

what? !

Lu Mingfei was shocked. No wonder Zhou Minhao came in such a spacious car and offered to give him a ride. So he was plotting something... Wait a minute, something doesn't seem right.

It wasn't the kind of sleeping potion he had imagined. Lu Mingfei didn't feel dizzy or have a racing heart. On the contrary, he keenly sensed that his five senses were becoming clearer, his heart was beating slowly and powerfully, and a vigorous vitality was surging from the depths of his body.

Lu Mingfei turned his head, and a pair of dazzling golden eyes were reflected in the car window.

"I gave you a medicinal wine that can activate your bloodline and help hybrids adapt to power more quickly."

Zhou Minhao looked at him and sighed:

"What an excellent bloodline, no wonder you are a descendant of Senior Lu... I even have the illusion that your golden eyes are even brighter than Zhao Xuzhen's."

It might not be a misperception... Lu Mingfei knew perfectly well.

After all, the Nibelungen suit he was using was given to him by the system, a product of a higher-dimensional being personally modifying reality.

Zhao Xuzhen's power was acquired through his own cultivation; it was merely the wisdom of a mortal.

Sit down!

Several days had passed since he used the Nibelungen Set, but during this time, Lu Mingfei could sense that his power had been steadily increasing.

The Dragon King's serum is taking effect; it's gradually strengthening his body.

Lu Mingfei picked up the file bag in his hand:

"Then this..."

Zhou Minhao suddenly pressed down on his arm, making a shushing gesture, and then laughed:

"Don't be shy, just take it."

He seemed to be talking about checks, but he also seemed to be talking about something else.

………………

back home.

It was raining heavily. Aunt went to pick up Lu Mingze, and Uncle was still at work. Lu Mingfei was alone in the room.

Lu Mingfei first drew the curtains, then opened the file folder.

After stepping down from the podium, he had a strange feeling, as if someone was watching him.

The feeling was vague, and Lu Mingfei couldn't be sure if it was just his imagination, but he remained cautious.

First up is a brand new Nokia N95. Although the Nokia N96 was released in February of this year, it has not yet been officially sold. The N95 is still the king of mobile phones today.

Secondly, there were dozens of checks. Sze Lan Secondary School intended to make a big splash by sending out invitations to prominent figures in the local business community before the awards ceremony.

Since Zhou Minhao, an out-of-towner, had received money, the locals naturally had to contribute as well. Some gave three thousand, some gave five thousand, and they pooled together about seventy or eighty thousand yuan, which was enough to buy a photo spot next to Lu Yingxiong.

Adding the two checks Zhou Minhao gave him, the total was less than 180,000. Lu Mingfei put the checks aside and took out the stack of A4 papers.

This is a manuscript.

The handwriting was strong and upright, and there wasn't a single correction needed on the entire page.

Lu Mingfei read carefully, his brows gradually furrowing:

"...The path to godhood?"

"Since ancient times, the throne has been in the west and the battlefield in the east. Influenced by environment, region, and culture, the hybrid races of the East and West have each explored different evolutionary paths..."

Without a doubt, the author of this manuscript was Zhou Minhao, and Lu Mingfei finally understood why the other party was so evasive when he asked.

The path to godhood is a secret art that hybrids cannot fathom; it is the realm of gods, an absolute taboo in both the human and pure-blooded dragon worlds.

The White King is the only one on record to have completed the path to godhood, and thus he wielded power sufficient to oppose the emperor, launching an unprecedented rebellion.

After killing the White King, Nidhogg, the progenitor of the dragon race and the Black Emperor, placed a seal in his bloodline, locking away the possibility of hybrids becoming pure-blooded dragons. After his death, the dragon rulers inscribed laws on the towering bronze pillar, declaring that any dragon attempting to retrace the path to godhood would be executed.

However, as the age of dragons passed and humans became the masters of this planet, the original taboos began to loosen slightly, and the fragments of the Path to Godhood began to circulate on a small scale.

The core of the secret society, represented by the Lionheart Society, simplified it into the "Bloodlust" secret technique for refining bloodlines using a subtractive approach.

By weakening human will, activating dragon blood genes, and increasing the proportion of dragon genes in hybrids, they gain authority close to that of pure-blooded dragons.

Meanwhile, in the far east, mixed-race families, represented by the Zhou family, began to add to the foundation of the Investiture of the Gods—

Maintaining the ratio of human to dragon genes while increasing the total amount of both genes and accommodating more dragon blood will grant greater power.

Zhou Minhao gave an example:

In the periodic table of Word Powers, there are two powerful Word Powers: 【Moment】 and 【Time Zero】.

Among them, [Moment] can grant a person extreme speed, up to 512 times the speed of the ninth level, while [Time Zero] can create a field centered on the user, distorting the difference in the flow of time inside and outside the field, giving the user the ability of "pseudo-time stop".

Interestingly, Time Zero is actually the higher-level Word of Power of an instant.

If there were a hybrid with the ability of "moment," according to the Secret Party's thinking, he could refine his bloodline through bloodlust, transforming moment into "time zero" and gaining a higher-level ability.

But according to Eastern thinking, he should continue to improve his instantaneous speed, break through the ninth-order limit, and achieve speeds of 1024 times, 2048 times...

As for whether the body can withstand it—

"The more you study the path to godhood, the more you'll discover that humanity has its limits. The way to break those limits is to cease being human..."

That is... the dragon's body.

The Zhou family's "Nuwa" and a group of elders are all beings with human heads and snake bodies. Their upper bodies are no different from humans, while their lower bodies are transformed into huge, dragon-like and snake-like bodies.

This perfectly confirms a consensus in the mixed-race world—the throne is in the west and the battlefield is in the east.

Western hybrids seek "power," increasing the proportion of dragon blood in their bodies to approach pureblood status and gain greater authority.

Eastern hybrids seek "power," aiming to maintain a stable genetic ratio while ensuring that the total amount of dragon blood surpasses that of true dragons, thereby gaining greater strength.

In gaming terms, these two paths are: one is an upgrade mechanism, and the other is a stacking of values.
