Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Bullet Screen Wish Machine

Lu Mingfei: "..."

This alchemical weapon has quite a peculiar temperament.

If the owner is a warrior, the tattoo on the neck will disappear after being used a few times.

Conversely, if the user is a coward, the tattoo will stay on their body for life.

For Lu Mingfei, it didn't have much of an impact, since he was already a hero.

"This is the Zhou family's way of showing their sincerity."

Zhou Minhao turned to the Chen family, raising an eyebrow:

"What about your Chen family?"

Upon hearing this, the Chen family representative stepped forward and said:

"Our Chen family's reward for Young Master Lu is that after completing the mission, he can take any item from Bronze City, whether it's a gold-refined weapon or something else."

What exactly constitutes "an item"?

Zhou Minhao did not evade this issue:

"Sun Wukong went to the Dragon King of the East Sea to ask for his attire, and it took several dragon lords working together to put together a single garment. If Mingfei brought out a pair of shoes from the Bronze City, your Chen family wouldn't be planning to take one back, would they?"

"Mr. Zhou is overthinking it."

The Chen family representative replied with a smile:

"How could the legitimate Chen family be so stingy? The clan elders have already discussed and agreed that the items chosen by Young Master Lu will naturally be calculated in sets."

If you choose the bow, then the arrows will be sent along with it; if you choose the Mandarin Duck Swords, then both the male and female swords will be given to you, young master… as long as you don't take the Bronze City with you.”

He spoke in a relaxed tone, and even made a small joke.

Because he knew that the family's decision was actually very shrewd.

The clan elders, having lived for so many years, were all shrewd and calculating. They had conducted background checks on Lu Mingfei before he participated in the mission.

Lu Mingfei's parents are somewhat famous, and his great-grandfather was a hero... but what does that have to do with Lu Mingfei?!

To put it bluntly, Lu Mingfei was just a greenhorn who had just entered the world of mixed-race people.

Having never received a systematic education since childhood and never learned any real "knowledge," his understanding of the hybrid world is even less than that of the rogue cultivators on the Hunter Network.

Does such a complete novice know alchemy? Can he tell what is treasure and what is trash?

That's why the Chen family offered a seemingly generous but actually cunning condition.

"The treasure trove of the Bronze and Fire King has been opened to you; if you lacked the foresight, you can't blame us."

Moreover, the Chen family representative wasn't worried that Lu Mingfei would sneak in a few extra items.

Our eldest daughter of the Chen family will go down with us. How could she possibly side with outsiders?

Lu Mingfei remained silent, only touching the [Great Snail Cave Heaven] on his waist.

What can you do with a personal space that's the size of 1.4 standard football fields?

That's so hard to guess.

Zhou Minhao remained calm, while the Chen family representative harbored ulterior motives. The two exchanged a glance and then looked at Manstein.

Manstein sensed that things were not going well.

"that……"

He asked in slightly broken Chinese:

"Should I give it too?"

Zhou & Chen: "Another inch."

"No, no, no, you can't do this."

Manstein waved his hands repeatedly:

"Mr. Chen, we discussed an agreement before..."

"The agreement was made with our Chen family, but you haven't made one with the Zhou family yet."

The Chen family representative acted as if it were a business matter.

What a joke! Our Chen family has already paid a hefty price, and you Kassels think you can just get something for nothing?!

"The Zhou family brought out a forbidden artifact, and the Chen family even opened up the Bronze City for Lu Mingfei to choose from. They've spoiled this guy so much; what am I going to do if he asks me for the Philosopher's Stone…"

Manstein was sweating profusely.

"Your school has always been generous in its dragon-slaying endeavors, so I don't think you would be stingy."

Zhou Minhao has a friendly smile.

Manstein cursed the little fox inwardly, realizing he was being put on a pedestal.

Since he's already uttered phrases like "the righteous cause of slaying the dragon," if I refuse him now, he might start blaming me.

Zhou Minhao turned to Lu Mingfei:

"Mingfei, is there anything you need?"

Lu Mingfei knew that Lao Zhou was trying to get benefits for him, and he secretly thanked him.

However, when it came to actually making a request, Lu Mingfei really didn't know what to ask.

After thinking it over carefully, Lu Mingfei realized that what he needed most seemed to be... money?

Or it can be called "the compensation that human society can use".

Lu Mingfei then expressed his thoughts, and Zhou Minhao nodded in agreement, extending a finger towards Manstein:

"Two hundred million, in US dollars."

"...Taking away the young master?!"

Manstein could hardly believe his ears.

Crazy? !

He had expected the other side to make an exorbitant demand, but this was far too much.

Two hundred million yuan could be used to put a bounty on the Dragon King on the Hunter Network!

"It's just an underwater archaeology mission, two B-level students could do it, and you want two hundred million US dollars?!"

Manstein thought to himself, “How many times can this garden be repaired?” He was referring to Freedom Day at Kassel College, where students would vandalize the campus every year on Freedom Day.

For a fleeting moment, he even thought about going into the water himself and making the money.

After a moment's thought, the bald professor decided to pass the buck:

"Mr. Zhou, I'm just an ordinary teacher, and I'm afraid I can't make that decision."

"Please contact your principal."

Zhou Minhao smiled:

"Oh, and here's another gift that I think Mr. Angers would be interested in."

As soon as he raised his hand, two members of the Zhou family came over carrying a sack.

With a thud, the sack was thrown to the ground, the opening was torn open, revealing an old face.

"Friedrich von Long".

Zhou Minhao pointed to the prisoner on the ground, "A traitor to the Secret Party a hundred years ago, an accomplice in the Summer Mourning Incident, you should have heard of his name."

Manstein's eyes widened in disbelief.

You're testing the principal with this? How could Angers possibly withstand the test?!

He took a deep breath and dialed the number.

A few seconds later, the call was connected, and a deep, gentle voice came through the receiver:

"Hello, Manstein."

"Principal Angers, I apologize for disturbing you. However, there are some special circumstances. Before the Kuimen Project begins, representatives from two legitimate families request that we pay Lu Mingfei a certain reward..."

"Oh, I hear you saying something about Manstein! Was he on that ship too?!"

An excited voice interrupted Manstein on the other end of the phone, "Please, you must bring him back!"

"Guderian, shut up!"

Manstein's forehead veins bulged. "I'm on the phone with the principal!"

"Alright, Manstein, let's get to the point."

Angers seemed to smile slightly. In front of this true old man, both Manstein and Guderian could only be considered young juniors.

"The other party said they wanted us to pay them two hundred million US dollars as compensation."

"Two hundred million?"

Angers did not refute, but instead began to think about it seriously:

"If the money is transferred directly from overseas, Mingfei's personal account will be frozen, right? I remember he owns a company..."
