Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei, let them live with regrets for the rest of their lives.

She's Russian, she doesn't understand this foreign stuff.

However, his gaze toward Lu Mingfei was slightly worried.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei didn't insist, but smiled helplessly. He took out eighty yuan from his wallet and handed it to Nuonuo.

Nono backed down again: "It's a deal, no money if it doesn't work. You're too special, this is the first time I've ever seen this kind of divination."

Lu Mingfei didn't say anything, just gave a self-deprecating laugh, got up and left the tent with Xia Mi and Ling.

Because he wasn't in the mood, and with Xia Mi and Ling around, Lu Mingfei didn't want to strike up a conversation with Nuonuo, so he focused on gathering more clues about her.

Nuonuo watched the three of them leave the tent. She then performed another divination for Lu Mingfei and found things even more chaotic, as if it were a warning that heavenly secrets should not be revealed.

“Interesting, Lu Mingfei, you’ve successfully piqued my interest,” Nuonuo chuckled.

Lu Mingfei recognized Nuonuo at a glance, and so did Nuonuo.

Her real name is Chen Motong, a member of the Chen family, and a student in the preparatory class at Kassel College. She will be reporting to Kassel College after the summer vacation.

Following her cheap father's instructions, Nono, who was traveling all over the country, came to Fuzhou.

The head of the Chen family knew that his daughter was very good at manipulating people's hearts, so he made an agreement with Nuonuo that if she could bring Lu Mingfei to the Chen family, she would be rewarded with one million coins.

Nono usually works to support herself, and this million yuan is from the labor union, so it is not considered a form of financial support. Therefore, she readily agreed.

However, after Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times, Nuonuo did not intend to reveal her identity rashly, but rather to observe for a period of time first.

Based on previous information, Nono analyzed that Lu Mingfei is an extremely love-starved loser, the kind who becomes radiant with just a little bit of sunshine.

But after the data was updated, Nono felt that she had made a mistake in her judgment.

It's true that Lu Mingfei still lacks love, but the loser persona is only a possibility under certain specific circumstances.

Especially after the divination results for Lu Mingfei today were not clear, Nuonuo became even more convinced of this.

The fourth line of the Qian hexagram [or leaping in the abyss] indicates that Lu Mingfei has infinite possibilities and an infinite future.

In an environment where his uncle and aunt are not close, Lu Mingfei is a loser.

But have you not heard that a golden carp is not meant to stay in a pond, but will transform into a dragon when it encounters wind and rain?

"This child has a limitless future," Nuonuo commented.

But Lu Mingfei's future was none of her concern. She wanted to find a way to get involved with the Chen family, take their money, and live a carefree life.

On the other side, Lu Mingfei and his friends lined up to ride the roller coaster. Xia Mi was still explaining to her senior brother that although roller coasters look dangerous, the probability of an accident is actually very small.

"With my junior sister here, I feel at ease," Lu Mingfei said with a smile.

"Mmm." Xia Mi nodded.

After riding the roller coaster, Lu Mingfei, Xia Mi, and Ling played bumper cars, a carousel, and other amusement rides, spending the day in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

We ate dinner at a restaurant near the amusement park that had a good reputation and a decent atmosphere. Teacher Daye had a great time today, but was also a little tired.

Lu Mingfei couldn't bear to let Teacher Daye cook for him and Ling.

Lu Mingfei spent the second and third days of the college entrance examination at home studying.

Lu Mingfei was pleasantly surprised to find that his good friend Lao Tang could teach him spoken English.

Come to think of it, the other person grew up in America, and their spoken English is incredibly fluent.

Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang agreed that for every game of Jiba they played, Lao Tang would teach Lu Mingfei spoken English for the same amount of time.

During the conversation, Lao Tang mentioned that he was recently on a business trip, and his employer had assigned him a task that required him to go to Rongcheng.

"Mingming, when we meet in Rongcheng, even if you're a beautiful young woman with long, slender hair and a ripe fruit tree, I won't mind," Old Tang said sincerely.

"Old Tang, even though I'm a grumpy, foul-mouthed guy online, I'm actually a delicate, shy, introverted soft girl offline. I'm quiet, gentle, and considerate, and I've never been angry. I'm like a marshmallow."

"Don't worry, I wouldn't mind either," Lu Mingfei said sincerely. "I really hope you get all awesome and come here to show off."

Old Tang complained, "Are you making a wish here?"

Lu Mingfei chuckled: "Likewise."

Old Tang laughed: "Haha, just kidding. I'm really looking forward to meeting you. I'll take you to a bathhouse in Northeast China for a scrubbing. I've wanted to try it for ages."

Lu Mingfei readily agreed: "Sure. Then I'll treat you to barbecue."

The meeting with Lao Tang can be considered an interlude in Lu Mingfei's life.

After returning to school, Lu Mingfei studied methodically, and no one—no artsy girl, piano girl, fairy princess, or ice queen—was allowed to disturb his studies.

Soon, the final exams arrived.

The final exams are over.

The grades won't be graded for another two days, but Zhao Menghua is full of confidence about this exam.

Little did he know that the gap between him and Lu Mingfei would only widen, and once Lu Mingfei had an epiphany, his talent would be unparalleled.

Zhao Menghua could only look up to him; he would be trapped in the shadow of Lu Mingfei for the rest of his life.

After school, Lu Mingfei didn't go home immediately. Zhou Qinghe introduced him to someone, his cousin Zhou Minhao, whom he had mentioned earlier.

The matchmaker would definitely choose a restaurant, and Lu Mingfei would happily get a free meal.

Inside the private room, before the meal was served, Lu Mingfei and Zhou Minhao officially met.

Zhou Minhao looks very young, in his early twenties. Considering his mixed-race physique, his real age may be older.

He opened a wafer fab in Kunshan, which is a key local enterprise project and has provided many jobs.

He usually wears a suit and tie, frequents high-society clubs, and has an extraordinary demeanor; he truly deserves to be called a big boss.

Undoubtedly, Zhou Minhao is quite successful in the conventional sense, but in the eyes of mixed-race families, this success is greatly diminished.

Although Zhou Minhao sends a large amount of money to the Zhou family every year, his status is still not as high as that of the direct descendants of the Zhou family who only need to study their own family's divine skills.

However, Zhou Minhao didn't need to feel sorry for himself. Several elders in the Zhou family had high hopes for him, but they felt that the boy was "wasting his life on frivolous pursuits" and wasting his bloodline by running a business and scheming.

"Hello, Brother Hao." Lu Mingfei greeted him as soon as he opened his mouth.

“Okay, Brother Lu.” Zhou Minhao also called him brother.

Zhou Qinghe was speechless at the strange tacit understanding between the boys who called each other "bro".

“Now that you’ve met, we can get down to business regarding Operation Mending the Sky,” Zhou Qinghe said.

"Operation Mending the Sky" was the code name Zhou Qinghe gave to the operation to rescue Nuwa, the goddess of the ancient sage king.

When we mention the goddess Nuwa, the first thing that comes to mind is Nuwa patching up the sky, and the second is Nuwa creating humans. She dipped a willow branch in water, pulled out mud and cracked a whip, and the mud fell to the ground and became little people.

Lu Mingfei thought the codename "Operation Patching the Sky" was quite good.

"What is our first step in the plan?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Chapter 124 Teacher Da Ye is just so tsundere

"The first step is to determine where Nuwa is imprisoned." Zhou Qinghe tapped the table with his index finger and pondered, "This is not difficult to do. According to my investigation, Nuwa should be imprisoned in the back mountain of the Zhou family."

"And then?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"There is an alchemical matrix in the back mountain, which even the next generation cannot forcibly break through. You must obtain a pass to enter."

As far as I know, the Zhou family has one patriarch and eleven elders, but only four tokens, which are held by the patriarch, the first elder, the second elder, and the third elder, respectively.

The current head of the Zhou family holds all the power in the clan, but he recently went to the orthodox Bai family and won't be returning to the Zhou family for a while. This is our opportunity.

The three elders who were in charge of keeping the tokens each had their own responsibilities.

The Grand Elder is the guardian of the forbidden area in the back mountain. He is in charge of the entire alchemy matrix and the mountain patrol guards. He enters the mountain to guard the area every day with his token. He is stubborn and does not make any exceptions.

The Second Elder is an expert in the Zhou family's ancestral alchemy. The isolation array in the back mountain was created by him, and the token is reserved for him to enter the mountain regularly to maintain the alchemical matrix.

The Third Elder manages all the family's secular businesses, including Minhao's wafer fab. He regularly goes into the mountains to exchange information with the Nuwa Master. He is quick-witted and the only person we can try to deal with.

"If anyone forces their way into the back mountain without a token, the alchemy matrix will unleash a lethal dragon alchemy attack that even a second-generation species would find difficult to withstand."

After Zhou Qinghe revealed all the available information in one go, she took a sip of water to moisten her throat and quietly waited for Lu Mingfei's reaction.

After listening, Lu Mingfei summarized several key points:

Behind the Zhou family's mountain, an alchemy matrix, four tokens.

"Sister Zhou, are you confident you can persuade the Third Elder?" Lu Mingfei asked.

“There’s a 30% chance.” Zhou Qinghe said solemnly, “The Third Elder watched Minhao and me grow up since we were little, and we are close. I didn’t believe he would do something as treasonous as plotting against Nuwa.”

Perhaps we can reason with him and appeal to his emotions. If all else fails, we can tie him up to stop him from making the same mistake again.

"Well, he's the weakest of the elders, after all."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei's lips twitched. He felt that Zhou Qinghe's statement that the Third Elder was the only person they could try to deal with was based on the last sentence.

"Sister Zhou, besides the alchemical matrix that can annihilate next-generation species, does the Zhou family have any other means to deal with species above the next generation?" Lu Mingfei asked.

This is what this reckless warrior is really focused on.

"The Zhou family's treasury contains numerous treasures, including several divine weapons that have historically slain third-generation and next-generation races. However, these weapons are all very selective, possessing their own consciousness. Some have even killed their masters!"

"Currently, apart from the Dragon-Slaying Platform, all other weapons and equipment remain sealed off and gathering dust in the warehouse," Zhou Qinghe said.

"Dragon-Slaying Platform?" This was the first time Lu Mingfei had heard of this name.

"As its name suggests, the Dragon-Slaying Platform is used to slay dragons. The weapon is inhabited by a living spirit, and the user needs to answer one question to unleash its power," Zhou Minhao explained from the side.

"Can we slay the Dragon King?"

"The goddess Nuwa once said that all the living beings residing in the Dragon-Slaying Platform combined could rival the first generation of beings."

But over the years, no one has gained the approval of all the living beings, not even the Grand Elder. "The last feat on the Dragon Slaying Platform was the instant kill of a purebred third-generation beast," Zhou Qinghe said.

"So, besides the alchemy matrix in the back mountain, the opponents we're facing are somewhere between strong third-generation and second-generation species?" Lu Mingfei asked, rubbing his chin.

“We must not underestimate our opponent,” Zhou Qinghe frowned slightly. “The Zhou family’s eldest elder is skilled in combat. With the Dragon Slaying Platform in hand, a third-generation beast is nothing. I once heard that more than a hundred years ago, he hunted a powerful second-generation beast alone.”

The Second Elder is also an alchemy master, but contrary to the stereotype that alchemists hide behind the scenes, he is also skilled in combat and can quickly construct alchemical matrices on the battlefield.

At the same time, the Second Elder was also a weapon master. He had a box filled with various S-grade alchemical weapons, some of which were even comparable to the Dragon Slayer Platform.

Furthermore, the Zhou family has many members with A-grade bloodlines. Through years of training and unity, they form a formidable force, capable of easily defeating third-generation individuals and holding their own against second-generation ones for a considerable time.

“Sister Zhou is right, we must not underestimate our opponents.” Lu Mingfei nodded. After listening to Zhou Qinghe’s description, he believed that the Zhou family was indeed formidable.
