The Exchange Game Starting with Lu Mingfei

Chapter 117 Hatred and Gratitude

【Home?】Lu Mingfei felt even more lost.

The uncle's house where he had lived for seven or eight years? But that was his uncle's house, the house of that chubby Lu Mingze, not the house that belonged to him and his parents.

Kassel College is just a school; he still has to go back to his uncle's house every year during holidays.

As for the house I used to live with my parents in—we've moved so many times that I can't even remember where I've lived.

He was starting to feel a little lost, unsure of where home was.

However, I do miss the people back home.

It seems like it's been a long time since I've thought about my senior. I wonder what she did after dropping out of school.

Perhaps she is undergoing bridal training in preparation for her wedding? It seems there is such a tradition in the West, and the Gattuso family is a long-established Italian noble family.

However, he was more worried about Chu Zihang, the man who said he would help him steal the bride—even though the other man had just experienced a literal and heartbreaking breakup, he still wanted to comfort him.

Although the way of comforting her was too hardcore.

And then there's Lu Mingze, the little devil.

I don't know why he chose the same name as the chubby boy and called him "brother"—is it because Lu Mingze is really his younger brother?

Zuji Naruzawa has never called him "brother".

Looking back now, I realize that the little devil Lu Mingze was the most polite.

"Perhaps I should meet with a few more people?" Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a pang of emotion. "But if we had switched identities before I enrolled in Kassel and before Huo Yuhao enrolled in Shrek Academy, our situations probably wouldn't be so awkward, right?"

He's fine; it's purely unrequited love. As long as Huo Yuhao keeps his distance from his senior sister, it doesn't matter.

However, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er have already established a romantic relationship. If he has the kind of mentality that Wei Wu had, then Huo Yuhao will definitely be cuckolded.

"Perhaps." Electrox suddenly thought of another possibility. "What if your exchange with Yuhao was a one-time thing? If you couldn't switch back, how would you handle Yuhao's interpersonal relationships?"

Just thinking about this possibility gave Lu Mingfei a headache.

That was horrible.

Huo Yuhao has an incredibly strong luck with women, while Lu Mingfei isn't exactly a person of strong will—if he were to be pursued like Wang Qiu'er, he would eventually succumb.

Since we can't go back anyway, and the body has already been inherited, what's wrong with inheriting a few wives?

Lu Mingfei felt a deep, bitter ache welling up inside him.

Those annoying social butterflies!

"If we can't go back, it's probably for the best," Lu Mingfei thought. "More and more people love Huo Yuhao, and he has the ability to avenge his mother—from now on, his life will only contain love, not hate."

How great.

Wait, should I avenge Yuhao first?

During the days when Electrolux was away, Lu Mingfei's communication with the spirits in the Sea of ​​Spirits was almost completely open, and anyone could overhear a few words.

But with Electrolux back, there's no need to worry about privacy anymore.

No one is allowed to eavesdrop on their conversation anymore!

Are you planning to send Di Tian?

Electrolux's question left Lu Mingfei speechless.

Di Tian is indeed very capable, but we can't expect him to do everything, can we?

Forget it, revenge is only truly satisfying when taken personally.

Lu Mingfei is now Huo Yuhao, so naturally he has to take action himself.

"Mingfei, you don't need to be so nervous. Even if you want to go out and have fun, you can," Electrox said. "Instead, take this opportunity to see the cities of this world and observe how the people here live."

This is a game that requires in-depth understanding to play well.

Lu Mingfei felt a little embarrassed when he heard Electrolux say the word "game".

This is clearly a real world, and every person or spirit beast he encounters is alive, but he treats it as a game world and everyone else as NPCs.

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

So he hasn't really accepted this world yet.

Even though you've already told Tianmeng and the others the truth, do you still treat yourself like an outsider?

Perhaps I really should go out and see the world.

His understanding of the world is too one-sided.

This is not the vision that someone who is prepared to change the world should have.

"Thank goodness I transmigrated into Huo Yuhao." Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.

If one were to transmigrate into an ordinary person without soul power, or into a poor family where even a martial soul couldn't be awakened—

That world is far too dangerous.

Soul beasts and evil soul masters can threaten lives, and the aftershocks of any battle could be fatal.

Lu Mingfei looked at Bi Ji with curiosity in his eyes: "Why did you choose to help all the soul beasts that asked you for help?"

Brigitte is very special.

She has never killed any intelligent living being.

If we exclude living beings from the plant-based foods necessary for her survival, she has even managed to completely refrain from killing.

"This is my way of survival," Brigitte said gently with a smile, without offering any lofty pretense. "The Emerald Swan only has healing-type soul skills. Even when facing the weakest soul beasts like the Soft Bone Rabbit, we have no power to fight back."

"We need a powerful backer, so we're willing to heal all the spirit beasts that come to us for help. In order to find healing again if they get injured next time, they will spontaneously protect us."

For the Emerald Swan clan, this is their only way to survive, as they are forced to depend on other races for survival.

"Of course, I have now grown up, even ranking fourth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, and am fully capable of protecting my clan." Biji's face still held a gentle smile, making it impossible to discern whether bitterness and resentment had once lurked behind it. "I have also received the protection of Di Tian, ​​so perhaps I no longer need to be so kind—"

"But I'm just a lucky individual."

Her path is difficult to replicate unless she is bound to other powerful soul beasts through "marriage".

However, in the world of soul beasts—while unwavering loyalty exists, such as among the Emerald Swan clan, most soul beasts do not place much importance on the exclusivity of a mate relationship.

Even though she could be considered Di Tian's partner, it didn't stop Di Tian from preparing to have a child with the Abyss Demon Dragon Zi Ji, did it?

Doesn't Huo Yuhao's own experience prove that "marriage alliances" are unreliable?

The intermarriage between the Dai family's White Tiger Martial Soul and the Zhu family's Netherworld Cat Martial Soul has lasted for tens of thousands of years.

Regardless of whether the marriage partners possessed the White Tiger Martial Soul or the Nether Cat Martial Soul, most of them were not truly bound by the contract. Besides husbands or wives, there were often concubines, lovers, and even more unspoken entanglements.

Isn't this the source of Huo Yuhao's tragedy as an illegitimate son?

This world has never been fair.

"I must be kind, and the Emerald Swans must be kind too," Brigitte said.

"Is that so?"

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that his life before seemed to have been quite happy.

They have no worries about food and clothing, a place to live, access to education, and even some hobbies. Their lives are stable, and they are in good health. Before enrolling in Kassel, they would hardly encounter anything that would threaten their lives.

So it's better to be in China, where you don't have to face "gunfights every day" and gangs aren't as rampant.

If Douluo Continent could become like the domestic version, then his transformation of this world might be considered a success?

It seems he'll need to create a proper walkthrough for this game.

"I'm going back."

Lu Mingfei made no comment on Brigitte's way of survival. After he finished speaking, Brigitte reached out and grabbed his shoulder, flapped her wings, and quickly flew back to the shore of the Lake of Life.

"Look for a spirit beast that can build this kind of wooden house. It's hard to change the living habits of lower-level spirit beasts, but higher-level ones need to adapt to the new lifestyle as soon as possible."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Biji left, Xiao Xiao and He Caitou walked out of Lu Mingfei's cabin.

"Yuhao," He Caitou said somewhat awkwardly, rubbing his bald head, "we—um, could we send some news to the Tang Sect?"

Lu Mingfei was taken aback.

Since the two of them arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest, he has "detained" them and has not allowed them to send any messages to the outside world.

"Where is your communication soul tool?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Although communication in this world is not as advanced as in the Dragon World, it still has communication soul tools—although they are expensive to manufacture and not very useful.

However, He Caitou is a Soul Master himself. Even if he specializes in fixed-installation Soul Tools, he should still have some understanding of other types of life-related Soul Tools.

Since they dared to risk coming to the Star Dou Great Forest this time, they should have brought communication tools with them.

"We brought it, but we won't disclose any information about this place without your permission," Xiao Xiao explained. "Don't worry, Yuhao, we won't make things difficult for you."

Lu Mingfei blinked.

These two people—

They were indeed thinking of Huo Yuhao, but they misjudged Huo Yuhao's situation.

What could be so difficult for Lu Mingfei?

Even if Xiao Xiao and the other person sent the news that he had "occupied" the Star Dou Great Forest back to Shrek Academy, letting them know that they were working hard to prepare for trouble, would Shrek Academy be able to break into the Star Dou Great Forest?

Shrek Academy doesn't even have a level 99 Limit Douluo yet, so how can they attack the Star Dou Great Forest?

However, Lu Mingfei still appreciated their kindness.

"Let's let our senior brothers know we're safe," Lu Mingfei said. "Tell them not to worry about us. If they can't hold on any longer, they can come to the Star Dou Great Forest and seek refuge with me."

Lu Mingfei knew that the Tang Clan had lost four high-ranking members, and many of them were recruited by Huo Yuhao. The Tang Clan was in a precarious situation. Even so, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, due to their family backgrounds, would not come to him for help.

But you still have to say nice things.

However, thinking of this, Lu Mingfei remembered another key figure.

Although Shrek Academy did not contribute much to Huo Yuhao's development as a Soul Master, it did provide considerable help in his enlightenment regarding Soul Tools and his later ability to study abroad in the Sun Moon Empire.

Therefore, it seems that he cannot ignore Tang Ya, who was the benefactor who enabled Huo Yuhao to successfully enroll in Shrek Academy.

You should avenge wrongs and repay kindness.

Elder Yi, can someone like Tang Ya, who has fallen into the path of an evil spirit master, still be saved?

Electrolux replied without hesitation: "It can be purified."

Since that's the case, we need to find a way to rescue Tang Ya.

Tang Ya can be considered a descendant of Tang San. Even if they are not blood relatives, the relationship of having a sect lineage is close enough.

Lu Mingfei felt a little regretful.

I should have held back back then.

Oh well, it's no use regretting it now.

He just needs to do what he can and have a clear conscience.

As for whether they will clash with Tang Ya and the others—

talk later.

Xiao Xiao laughed: "We will try our best to get it."

As a member of the Soul Ring R&D project team, Xiao Xiao knew how much impact this project would have on the Douluo Continent once it was successfully completed.

Perhaps, the hatred between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts can gradually be eliminated.

Even if the two sides remain hostile, the ability to generate spirit rings on their own is a good thing for spirit masters.

At least they no longer have to risk their lives to fight against soul beasts.

Therefore, it would be a good thing for Beibei and the others to come and participate in this great research and development.

Unfortunately, Bei Bei is the great-grandson of the former Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, while Xu Sanshi is the heir of the Xuanming Sect.

Because of their status, they were unable to join the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Then I'll leave it to you," Lu Mingfei said.

Even if Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan can't come, what about Xuan Ziwen, Ye Guyi, and Ji Juechen?

They have no ties, so they should be able to come, right?

Huo Yuhao watched Caesar's figure disappear into the corridor before closing the door and preparing to continue his cultivation.

But then he suddenly thought of Chen Motong.

It wasn't because of Lu Mingfei's memories that he had any special concern for Chen Motong.

He simply felt that Chen Motong had been missing for too long.

Although Chen Motong had formally submitted a leave of absence report at the academy, why did she have to suspend her studies after Caesar proposed?

Shouldn't she hurry up and finish her credits, try to graduate with Caesar, and then get married right away?

But now, it seems even Caesar doesn't know where Chen Motong has gone.

Is this some ancient custom that prevents newlyweds from meeting before their wedding?

Or perhaps Chen Motong's disappearance during this period was purely to pave the way for Erii?

After all, they were so similar in Lu Mingfei's eyes.

Even in the face of death, Lu Mingfei was still thinking about Chen Motong, and even mistook Erii for Chen Motong.

The little devil's words implied that he hoped Erii would replace Chen Motong in Lu Mingfei's heart.

"White moonlight, the boss's woman, the destined one —" Huo Yuhao felt that Chen Motong had a lot of these qualities.

Huo Yuhao did not believe that Chen Motong was just a pretty face.

Two years ago, Lu Mingfei made his first deal with the Little Devil to save Chen Motong.

It can be said that Lu Mingfei has already spent a quarter of his life on Chen Motong.

Huo Yuhao spent a quarter of the money to get the White King's Dragon Bone Cross, but if it were Lu Mingfei, it might be for Erii.

Chu Zihang is quite special. Although Lu Mingfei didn't have much contact with this senior brother, he trusted Chu Zihang a lot. For him, Lu Mingfei also spent a quarter of his life.

This is also part of Chu Zihang's charm.

Of course, he couldn't refuse to spend that quarter.
