Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Bullet Screen Wish Machine

While Lu Mingfei was still lost in thought, the girl spoke:

"I'm here for an interview."

Although her accent had a slight Russian flavor, she spoke fluent Chinese.

His voice was so flat it was almost mechanical, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"Zero, Russian, eighteen years old..."

Lu Mingfei took the resume from her, and when he saw the "age" section, his expression was somewhat suspicious.

Ms. Ling, who came for the interview, was dressed quite maturely, wearing a single-breasted white short blazer, high-waisted straight-leg trousers, and leather shoes, giving off a very professional and business-savvy vibe.

But she was very petite, and her childish face made her look only fourteen years old, like a middle school student.

Considering that Europeans and Americans tend to look older than their age... Mr. Lu felt that this job seeker might be lying to him.

But Ling met his gaze calmly, making Lu Mingfei doubt himself.

Lu Mingfei avoided her gaze and instead began to observe the barrage of comments on Zero's body.

[Torture Renata]

While life is indeed a constant battle, you seem to really enjoy fighting, bro...

Dance with Zero

No problem, it's a good opportunity to try out the professional-level dance skills I just got.

Invite her to eat lobster tails.

Arrange it immediately!

[Smudged Ling's face]

Is it... is it the kind of dirty place I'm thinking of?

[Proposing to Her Highness the Princess]

As a commoner, proposing to a nobleman on the first meeting seems a bit too much (physically speaking).

A young girl's blush speaks louder than any sweet words; let the stern, ice-cold queen reveal a shy expression!

...Can this task really be completed?

[He rested his head on Zero's lap and said with deep affection, "Zero is the kind of woman who can be my mother."]

Don't think I haven't seen Mobile Suit Gundam!

[Waaaaah, Her Highness the Princess's feet are so small, cool, and fragrant. Please put them on your face, and then...]

Hey, don't you guys have any censorship procedures?!

Lu Mingfei's face darkened.

In the past, Lu Mingfei thought that his ideal type was a quiet and gentle girl like Chen Wenwen, who was good at being a homemaker.

But now he has to admit that Miss Zero's mature and intellectual business elite attire, coupled with her youthful face and petite figure... does indeed possess a special charm.

In a daze, Lu Mingfei seemed to see his future self sitting in an electric chair, and he shuddered.

Damn it, the wishing machine keeps tempting him to fall!

"Um... let's sit down and talk."

Lu Mingfei pinched the bridge of his nose.

Ling nodded upon hearing this, took out a cushion from her backpack, placed it on the office chair, and then sat down.

Having obsessive-compulsive disorder makes the task difficult... Lu Mingfei was referring to dancing together.

He closed his resume:

"Is your desired position 'secretary'?"

"I think this suits me very well."

Zero answered.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei first looked at himself, then at Miss Ling, and silently took a sip of tea.

A high school student as a boss and a junior high school student as a secretary... Lu Mingfei felt that he should consider the feelings of his clients.

"Mixed-race people age more slowly than ordinary people; you can say you're already thirty years old."

As if she could read his mind, Ling spoke calmly:

"I can do many things, such as tutoring high school students' teachers."

Mr. Lu nearly choked on his tea—are job seekers these days doing such thorough background checks?! They even found out the boss's academic records?!

"My GPA is excellent, and I am proficient in multiple languages ​​and various subjects."

Ling took a stack of certificates from his backpack and piled them on the table in front of Lu Mingfei:

"If that's not enough, I can also provide cello exam preparation, ballet instruction, diving and hacking training, battlefield medical first aid, car and firearms repair, combat training, and poison use..."

How did you manage to say those words so calmly?!

Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

He can tutor students, and he can assassinate and poison them... James Bond said so.

"Our team needs someone like you."

With the top agent right in front of him, President Lu had no reason to refuse. He subconsciously stood up, wanting to shake hands with Zero.

Halfway through reaching out his hand, Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that she seemed to have a cleanliness obsession.

Lu Mingfei's expression hardened, and just as he was about to pull his hand back, a cool little hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Ling remained expressionless, forcefully controlling Lu Mingfei with his left hand and shoving his right hand into Lu Mingfei's.

In Lu Mingfei's perception, her palms were small and soft. When their hands touched, her slender, jade-like fingers stretched out, and her fingertips accidentally brushed against his palm, causing a slight itch.

Just as the handshake was completed in the ancient Ministry of Justice prison after the prisoner was tortured and forced to sign a document, Ms. Ling sat back on the cushion as if nothing had happened.

Perhaps it's a difference in customs... Lu Mingfei managed to come up with an explanation. After all, Russia is also a multi-ethnic country, and maybe the place where Zero is located places special importance on the "handshake greeting" and cannot be interrupted casually.

"The compensation will be split 70/30, you get 70%, I get 30%. If there are any temporary tasks, the payment will be calculated separately. Is that acceptable?"

Lu Mingfei said.

Zero indicated that he had no objection, seemingly not caring much about the compensation.

"Want to grab something to eat together?"

Lu Mingfei glanced at the time and suddenly an idea came to him.

"it is good."

The girl nodded, without standing on ceremony with him.

Lu Mingfei was overjoyed. He immediately took out the phone book from the drawer, flipped to the food order page, and prepared to order ten pounds of lobster tails to get the job done...

Wait, why aren't there any shops selling crayfish?!

Lu Mingfei looked at the phone book, a little confused—crayfish was a local specialty.

Perhaps in pursuit of high-class tastes, Tang Wei's menu is full of thunderous fusion dishes with names like "Coconut Egg White King Crab with Trimbach Family Alsace Pinot Dry White" and "Tiger Paw Mushroom and Green Plum Braised Pork with Giganno Winery Royal Dry Red"—Lu Mingfei couldn't even place an order yet because the restaurant required reservations a week in advance.

As a hunting company, Millennium Labor Services employs mostly rough-and-tumble men. Asking them to cook is like blowing up the kitchen. When they're short on money, they make do with instant noodles, and when they have money, they order restaurant delivery services.

Tang, a seasoned veteran among bounty hunters, has perfectly inherited this habit, while Lu, having missed out on ordering crayfish and earning a few wish points, is lost in thought.

The current online ordering model involves direct interaction between customers and restaurants, resulting in very limited choices.

Could I use the internet to build a food ordering platform, bringing together local businesses and recruiting delivery drivers, so customers can order whatever they want from home and have their meals delivered directly to their doorstep?

It seems like... there's potential.

Lu Mingfei's eyes flickered slightly.

In this era where even mobile payment is not yet available, food ordering services are still based on a direct-to-consumer (D2C) model where customers and merchants connect directly. However, with the rise of smartphones and the widespread adoption of 3G networks, online ordering, platform intermediaries, and merchant delivery are bound to become the general trend.

He still has more than 30 million yuan in cash in his personal account. This is the "reward that can be used in human society" that Zhou Minhao negotiated for him, which can be regarded as an advance payment for the Kuimen operation.

As for the alchemical weapons promised by the Zhou family, they will be delivered to Lu Mingfei before the operation.

According to the intelligence revealed by the barrage strategist, an economic crisis will erupt this September, and a global financial wave will leave countless people swimming naked on the beach.

However, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.

"Accountant Zhou possesses a Word of Power called 'Heavenly Evolution,' perhaps we can use it to his advantage and accumulate our first pot of gold..."

Lu Mingfei had a preliminary strategic plan in mind, but many problems still needed to be solved before it could be truly implemented.

Anyway, since things have come to this, let's eat first.

After making several phone calls, Lu Mingfei finally chose a high-end hot pot restaurant. Although there were no crayfish, he could get some tiger prawns (black tiger prawns) to eat, and maybe he could earn some wish points.

Although hot pot connoisseurs have a saying that "mild spiciness is my maximum tolerance," Boss Lu still went against the grain and ordered a red and white broth.

Millennium Labor Service is a regular customer at that hot pot restaurant. Although there is no real food delivery service these days, as long as the money is right, the restaurant's delivery is still very fast.

Shortly after, there was a knock on the office door, and two burly men, as tall as iron towers, carried in a large box.

They're not here to cause trouble... these two are chefs.

One of them set up and lit the alcohol stove, placed the hot pot on it, and started setting out the tableware. The other person pulled a cutting board from the box and slammed a large piece of beef onto it.

Lu Mingfei had never eaten grain-fed Angus or M789 Wagyu beef, but just by looking at the marbling on that piece of beef, he knew it was a good cut.

The tough guy, dressed in a white chef's uniform but with the build of a retired Marine, grinned, ripped off the white cloth wrapped around his shoulder to reveal a huge "Special" character, and then pulled out a gleaming dragon-patterned cleaver from a box, slicing it into the beef.

It was an absolutely dazzling display of skill. The cleaver danced in the man's hands, leaving afterimages as the blade flashed and slices of snowflake beef, thin as cicada wings, flew up, tracing elegant arcs in the air before landing precisely on the plate.

This scene, which was usually only seen in anime, made Lu Mingfei exclaim "Awesome!" while Zero maintained a cool and aloof demeanor throughout, making it hard not to wonder who the worldly-wise boss really was.

The two chefs worked quickly and soon everything was in place.

An alcohol stove, a double-compartment hot pot, soup spoons and chopsticks, ceramic bowls and plates, and two white porcelain plates specifically for seafood shells, plus freshly cut beef and mutton rolls, mushrooms and seasonal vegetables, tripe and beef aorta, scallops and oysters... The spotless tableware and various ingredients filled the entire desk.

The two heroes, without batting an eye, smiled and took their leave. Lu Mingfei was amazed at how different the hot pot restaurants in this high-end commercial district were; even the kitchen staff had to learn facial expression management, which was truly a high level of professionalism.

The cast-iron hot pot was placed on an alcohol stove. The red oil broth bubbled and boiled, and the hot soup, carrying the aroma of Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers, rose straight up. The other half of the pot, containing bone broth, also had oil floating on top, with ginger slices and scallion segments bobbing in the pot.

Lu Mingfei couldn't remember the last time he had hot pot. Hot pot is not a food suitable for one person, but Lu Mingfei had neither friends nor family.

Just as he was thinking this, a slender white hand suddenly reached out, scooped the cooked beef rolls out of the pot, and put them on his plate.

Lu Mingfei was taken aback.

"That's the secretary's job."

Zero answered with a blank expression.

"...Is that so?"

Lu Mingfei had never been a secretary before and dared not assume anything, so he asked for clarification.

That's how it is.

Zero answered with great certainty.

The rising steam from the hot pot blurred the girl's face. Lu Mingfei lowered his head and haphazardly stuffed the scalding hot beef roll into his mouth.

"……Thanks."

He said.

at the same time.

Across the street, in another office building parallel to Runde Building.

"...Not bad, a girl with no connections."

Su Enxi put down the binoculars, pumped her fist, and looked excited:

"The little white rabbit seems a bit shy. It was worth it for me to take over that shop to help you guys out."

"That's unnecessary. Why not just say you like him?"

A lazy voice came from behind her. Before Su Enxi could react, the chair she was sitting in was turned around, and a female ninja dressed in leather jacket and pants hung upside down from the ceiling, snatching her listening earpiece like a nimble thief.

"You think everyone likes a big, bear-like vixen like you? A pure, innocent boy like Lu Mingfei would only be scared away if you just went straight for him!"

Su Enxi glanced at the other party with considerable resentment. The female ninja named Shude Mai was not only beautiful, but her figure was also excessively good—what, does the stat monster think he has great skills?

The elastic rope hanging from her waist tightened and loosened, pulling her back to the ceiling. Mai Shude yawned.

"If you ask me, since you've already taken over the hot pot restaurant, why don't you put drugs in the broth?"

"The boss would probably kill me if I did that."

Su Enxi spoke in a low, melancholy tone.

Mai Shude did not object to this. The contracts they signed with their boss were not employment contracts, but ancient agreements. The innocent girl was the boss's sore spot, so it was best not to cross his bottom line.

"Potato Chips, how did you figure out he'd order from that hot pot restaurant?"

Mai changed the subject:

"There are dozens of restaurants on this street. Has your Word of Power: Heavenly Evolution become that powerful?"

"No, that's not it."

Su Enxi spoke in a relaxed tone:

"After eliminating a few restaurants that required reservations, I spent a little money to bribe the front desk staff of the restaurants where Millennium Labor Services most frequently placed orders. Whenever Millennium Labor Services called to place an order, I would say that we didn't have any."

Mai Shude: "..."

"Hey, long legs, why aren't you saying anything?"

After a while, Su Enxi, who hadn't heard any movement from Jiude Mai, asked.

She looked up at the ceiling.

Mai Shude held the listening headset, her expression strange:

"Uh, Little White Rabbit and the clueless girl... are talking about why freshwater seals exist in Lake Baikal, which seems to be a topic from Shilan Middle School's monthly exam."

"Are freshwater seals such rare creatures?!"

Su Enxi couldn't help but complain, "There are two more springs in Baotu Spring! This atmosphere is definitely not the time for geography!"

"Really, I'm so stupid."

She slumped weakly in the chair, holding her forehead.

"...I should have just given her the drug."

………………

It was 8:30 in the evening.

Lu Mingfei, who had just finished a game of StarCraft with Lao Tang and suffered a hard-fought defeat, had his phone vibrate and received a message.

[Chen Wenwen]:

"Tomorrow is Senior Brother Chu Zihang's birthday, why don't you come with me?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.

He didn't quite understand why Chen Wenwen would suddenly invite him.

Lu Mingfei has been trying to keep his distance from Chen Wenwen these past few days, replying to her messages in a purely businesslike manner, but Chen Wenwen has been contacting him more frequently.

Lu Mingfei instinctively wanted to refuse, but just as he was about to type "no," a thought suddenly struck him.

Duty Officer?!

Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow.

Duty Officers are low-level servants in Heaven, responsible for doing all sorts of work. They can be as busy as a spinning top when on duty, and Lu Mingfei has been greatly bothered by them recently.

However, even the lowest-ranking celestial official is still a legitimate celestial official. This destiny gave Lu Mingfei the special ability to avoid misfortune and attract good fortune, allowing him to sense the existence of "opportunities".

The last time the effect was activated was when he accompanied Su Xiaoqiang shopping. With the help of the duty officer, Lu Mingfei resolved the Kamaitachi Queen incident and met Zhou Minhao.

A few days later, Lu Mingfei transformed into President Lu, stepping into the world of mixed-race individuals. He not only owned a company with an annual income of tens of millions, but also had an extra thirty million in cash in his pocket.

This is the power of opportunity.

However, what kind of opportunity might arise at Chu Zihang's birthday party?
