Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Bullet Screen Wish Machine
Chapter 48: A Battle of Wits, Lao Lu vs. Hajimi!
The Passat drove into a villa area nestled against the mountains and overlooking a lake.
The security guard at the entrance had received advance notice that Chu Zihang, the young master of the Lu family, was going to throw a birthday party. After Chen Wenwen explained her purpose, he let the black executive sedan in.
Chu Zihang's stepfather, Lu Tianming, is a well-known local boss who runs a large-scale electronics factory. He appeared at the commendation meeting a few days ago and gave the young hero Xiaoming a bonus of 5,000 yuan.
Chu Zihang's home is the most prestigious building in this villa district, occupying a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides. From a distance, one can see the red roof and white dry-hanging marble exterior walls, while the spacious courtyard is completely covered by greenery.
The Passat stopped a little further away. Lu Mingfei got out of the car and walked straight toward the villa with roses and ginkgo trees planted in front of it. Chen Wenwen followed beside him, holding a collection of literary works from the literary society in her arms.
Outside the bronze-carved gate of the Peninsula Villa stood a girl dressed in a blue and white sailor uniform with a yellow headband.
Catching someone approaching out of the corner of her eye, the girl casually turned around—
Xia Mi's expression froze when she saw Lu Mingfei walking towards her.
………………
Ms. Xia has been monitoring Lu Mingfei recently.
On Wednesday afternoon, Lu Mingfei received an award in the auditorium. Although Xia Mi was not present, she recognized her "younger brother" at a glance through the multimedia equipment in the classroom.
Several years ago, Jormungandr entered Shilan Middle School as a human student named "Xia Mi".
In order to better integrate into the other ethnic groups, Jormungandr observed many people, including Lu Mingfei.
It's not that Lu Mingfei is particularly outstanding; on the contrary, he's a complete loser. Apart from being a skilled e-sports player, there's almost nothing about him that shines. The only reason he's made a name for himself in the Shilan Middle School circle is because of his big-mouthed younger brother's constant promotion.
However, a bad reputation is still a reputation, and negative traffic is still traffic. Chu Zihang is indeed a prodigy of Shilan, but Lu Mingfei is not an unknown person either.
With the idea of taking a second look at the Demon Orb after seeing the Spirit Orb, Xia Mi had paid attention to Lu Mingfei when she was in junior high school. However, he was too ordinary, and Jormungandr quickly lost interest.
Until a few days ago, she bumped into Lu Mingfei at Chu Tianjiao's secret base.
The dignity of the king of the earth and mountains was trampled underfoot. In the eyes of the new king, the "older sister" from the old era did not even have the right to speak to him.
Xia Mi has two guesses about her mistake back then:
Alternatively, Lu Mingfei has fully adapted to his human identity; this young man is cunning and even more adept at concealing his true intentions than Chu Tianjiao.
Either he had recently been resurrected from the cycle of reincarnation and truly found himself again.
Neither of these is good news.
The former implies that Lu Mingfei is extremely shrewd and calculating; the latter implies that his younger brother is currently "hungry" and urgently needs to devour his own kind to regenerate his dragon body.
After school on Wednesday, Xia Mi began to monitor the new king.
In Xia Mi's understanding, the new king and the old king held the same crown. Within the realm of "power," she and Lu Mingfei were equals. As long as she did not attack or test the latter, he would not discover her.
Xia Mi recorded Lu Mingfei's movements in her notebook:
"On May 5.28, Lu Mingfei made contact with the Zhou family and obtained a document from them. The contents were unknown, and only ashes were found in a garbage bag."
"On May 5.29, Lu Mingfei followed Lu Gucheng but found no other unusual behavior."
"On May 5.30, Lu Mingfei contacted Zhou Minhao again. The two met with Tang Wei, the boss of Millennium Labor Export Company, at the Regent Hotel. Lu Mingfei became the owner of Millennium Labor Export Company, posted a recruitment notice, and skipped half a day of class."
"On May 5.31, Lu Mingfei personally interviewed employees at Runde Building. Two people applied, but it is unknown whether they were successful."
The task log ended yesterday.
Today is Chu Zihang's birthday, and all the school clubs have received invitations. Xia Mi has decided to take a day off.
but……
Why is the "younger brother" here too?!
Xia Mi's first reaction was to run away, but considering the difference in strength between the two, she stopped herself.
The king of the earth and mountains unleashed his extraordinary wisdom and began to ponder.
As the king of the new era, Lu Mingfei, with his aloofness, would never celebrate the birthday of a mixed-race person.
What is he doing here?
Could it be that……
An ominous premonition arose within Xia Mi, who suddenly realized that she had fallen into a cognitive trap.
As an outcast among humankind, Jormungandr has always considered himself an "observer."
She regarded the students of Shilan Middle School as subjects of observation and imitation, and in the process, she gradually adapted to the identity of "Xia Mi".
But she overlooked one thing... that ordinary, unremarkable guy was also an anomaly.
He is also an observer!
Chu Zihang carries the mark of "Odin". On that stormy night, he entered the Dragon King's kingdom and miraculously escaped.
That's where the problem lies.
Since Xia Mi was able to discover the mark on Chu Zihang's body, how could Lu Mingfei, as the new king, possibly overlook that thing!
No, that's not all... Xia Mi broke out in a cold sweat. If Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang made contact, they might even discover the "egg" inside him.
That was the true form of Jormungandr, the cocoon she used for her resurrection.
For the Dragon King, the best tonic in the world is another Dragon King.
Xia Mi knew she had to do something.
………………
"hello!"
Before Lu Mingfei and his companion could even get close, the girl dressed as Haruhi Suzumiya raised her arm and waved to them energetically.
Chen Wenwen subconsciously slowed her pace.
The girl's beauty was simply astonishing; it was a face that could be described as flawless, as if the world's finest sculpture had suddenly come to life... and the artist who sculpted her was Nuwa, who was eager to show off her skills.
Faced with such pure numerical data, even a self-righteous, aloof, artistic young woman would have to succumb.
Lu Mingfei did not show any fear; he simply stared at the barrage of comments floating above the other person's head without uttering a word.
[Torture of Jormungandr]
"Hey sis, what are you doing here?"
Lu Mingfei's expression was subtle.
In the Huanya Group's industrial park, Lu Mingfei had seen Xia Mi in her dragon form. Unlike the angelic girl in front of him, she was ferocious and vicious in her dragon form, almost like a demon.
If the wishing machine hadn't bound her identity to it, Lu Mingfei would never have recognized her as the Little Dragon Girl.
"Hello senior, I'm from the anime club."
The girl's smile was radiant:
"My name is Xia Mi."
"Lu Mingfei".
Lu Mingfei responded with a standard smile that revealed eight teeth without batting an eye.
Lu Mingfei's brain was working at lightning speed.
When Xia Mi last met Xiaolongnu, she faced him in her fully transformed dragon form, but he did not make any disguise.
In other words, Lu Mingfei might not recognize Xia Mi, but Xia Mi would definitely recognize him.
If that's the case, why did she greet me so warmly?
