Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 18: Encountering an Elite Monster in Night City, Even with All My Efforts, I Can’t Defeat It
"Lu Mingfei!!——"

Lucy admitted that the moment Lu Mingfei was covered by gunfire, she almost couldn't help but scream from her throat.

After all, if she is the only one left, then this game is basically a dead end.

She has been in the business for so many years without any accidents. Although she was tripped today by Lu Mingfei's "bad luck", she still has a backup plan.

——She has a partner.

As long as they can hold on until then, and not be surrounded from both sides, if 'he' comes, this group of Whirlpool Gang will not be their match at all, but the prerequisite is that Lucy and Lu Mingfei can delay enough time.

And if Lu Mingfei was gone, Lucy really didn't know how she would play as a remote hacker.

fortunately
The little monster with golden eyes did not disappoint her.

Puff! ——————

The volley just now raised up all the dust that was already accumulated in the entire factory, and the randomly placed cargo boxes and the goods inside were treated as foam debris and flew all over the sky.

This created a fog of war for both sides. Because of her advantageous position, Lucy could clearly see the somewhat disheveled but seemingly unharmed figure of the young man who had escaped from the hail of bullets.

Lu Mingfei is not dead.

This made Lucy feel fortunate. Firstly, she was saved because Lu Mingfei was alive, and secondly, because...
He's a bit like him

[Impossible, maybe, more like my past self]

In Night City, chemistry is very important. Everyone’s life is short, so emotions come quickly and deeply.

She liked the young man very much and didn't want him to die like this.

Putting aside Lucy’s inner turmoil, what about Lu Mingfei himself?
“—I was so scared!”

The messy-haired boy, with golden eyes flashing, quickly rushed forward and hid behind the new cover.

At the moment when he was surrounded by intelligent weapons, his [intelligence] turned into astonishing wisdom. He subconsciously stomped his feet on the ground, kicking the half-person-high floor tiles directly into the air to block in front of him.

[Smart weapons] do have locks, but that doesn't mean they can ignore the laws of physics.

Smart weapons have three weaknesses.

1. It takes time for smart weapons to "lock on to the enemy" and determine the target to avoid accidental injuries. Therefore, there is a delay before firing the bullet compared to other weapons, which gives Lu Mingfei some room to move and think.

2. Because smart weapons need to distribute functions to the "lock", they need to make compromises in other aspects. The corresponding integrated circuit must be installed inside the bullet to complete the bullet's self-acceleration, and the bullet and the gun body, brain-computer, and eye prosthesis must be synchronized as a whole system, so the damage of the attack is basically sacrificed.

3. Although it cannot be considered a weakness, smart weapons do have limits on turning.

The basic rules must also be considered when turning. When the inertia is large enough, the bullet cannot complete a V-shaped movement, so as long as the bullet is displaced at the moment it contacts the human body, these things can basically be shot into nothingness.

In other words.

To dodge intelligent weapons, you need [super-fast thinking ability] and [physical explosive power].

Coincidentally, Lu Mingfei could barely support these requirements.

But it was just 'barely'.

"Huchi. Huchi"

With his back against the iron sheet, Lu Mingfei could only feel the smell of rust rising from the depths of his throat.

so tired.

it hurts.

And
Lu Mingfei covered his abdomen with his hands, and in less than half a second, bright red blood mixed with black blood flowed out from between his fingers.

He didn't dodge them all.

In the golden pupil state, Lu Mingfei's reflexes far exceeded those of the gang members with prosthetics - this is how it should be, but at the moment when Lu Mingfei used his wits to dodge the attack, something strange happened.

Someone broke into his [world].

At the moment when Lu Mingfei was about to dodge the kinetic weapon, in the slow-moving world where only Lu Mingfei was supposed to be able to move, the little leader of the Vortex Gang also moved.

His body seemed to be running with electricity, his nerves and muscles trembling at overclocked speed at the same time, and then he began to make exaggerated movements in the slow world at a scale visible to the naked eye!
Pulling out afterimages, the prosthetic body pushed the Whirlpool Gang to a state that seemed to "slow down time"! Far surpassing Lu Mingfei's simple reflexes!

Sian Westin! This gang leader actually has Sian Westin! !? !
——In fact, in terms of prosthetics alone, Sian Westin is not uncommon.

Many prosthetic doctors have the qualifications to sell and install prosthetics, not to mention the people in the Uzumaki Gang. For them, installing prosthetics is as easy as eating.

However, even if Sian Westin is installed, the Sian Westin on the market does not support a very high-magnification time-slowing effect, and is far less useful than Lu Mingfei's Golden Eyes.

But this boss's product is obviously of high quality. Although it is not military grade, it is already a good product that can be found on the market.

Coupled with the leader's own [Train King Tendon], he moved sideways at a speed that Lu Mingfei could not react to, and pierced Lu Mingfei's side with his intelligent weapon.

Although he tried his best to avoid the vital parts, large pieces of flesh and blood were still scraped away, and some blood pits still remained on the surface of unimportant muscle tissue in Lu Mingfei's arms and legs.

"[Don't die]"

Lu Mingfei whispered the king's decree.

That was the [authority] Lu Mingze gave himself that day.

It's said to be a free gift from the devil, but it's really useful, equivalent to the permanent [Blood Bottle] in the game.

The golden eyes increased the strength and recovery speed of the body, while the enhanced hematopoietic ability of [Don't Die] was working hard to curb the worsening of the wound.

However, the spiritual attributes seem to have declined.

[Don't Die] seemed to consume some "substances" that Lu Mingfei couldn't feel, and the boy's instinct told him that even [Don't Die] couldn't be used all the time.

So are the golden eyes.

(Miscalculated.)
Lu Mingfei had previously tested that the longest duration of the golden eyes when activated at one time was one hour.

But that seems to be in the case of low-intensity exercise.

This time will be shortened if you are injured, use [Don't Die], or are in a highly aroused environment.

His own condition began to decline, while the opponent had the support of a prosthetic body. However, with such a high-powered Sian Westin, the opponent would not use it continuously in an advantageous situation - "Lu Mingfei!!! Behind me!!!"

Suddenly, a loud roar covered Lu Mingfei's consciousness.

That was Lucy's voice, even at the cost of revealing her position as a hacker.

That means——

boom!
Lu Mingfei leaned forward and ran forward almost subconsciously. He even turned his head slightly to look behind him after completing the sprint. Before he could see clearly, the high-speed scattered gravel bombarded his internal organs and fragile eye membranes.

Behind the rubble was a blurry giant shadow and the iconic red color of the Vortex Gang.

The horrifying nightmare was just around the corner. Lu Mingfei didn't know if it was just his illusion, but the eyes of the Vortex Gang had even begun to 'reproduce'. One of their eyeballs began to jump and flicker constantly, strobing at such a high speed that it would leave visual residue!
Did he move at super-high speed using [Sian Westin] + [Tendon]? And he even ran towards me from a blind spot? Was he not afraid of the backlash from his prosthetic body at all?!?

wrong
Look at his eyes! His prosthetics are starting to erode!
You kid, you're really asking for death!
Lu Mingfei was shocked.

Because the boss of the Whirlpool Gang in front of him was in a state just like a character from The Shining, crazy and terrifying.

But now he had no time to think, the enemy was right in front of him.

(Speaking of which, how did he know I was hiding here? Was it the prosthetic eye?)

Lu Mingfei had actually heard from Old Wei that those who were successful in Night City's underworld all had high-quality eye prosthetics installed from the Qilusi company, many of which had the ability to "highlight enemies through obstacles."

Pain spread throughout his body, but Lu Mingfei knew that if he relaxed at this moment, he would be doomed.

The whole person was hit by the gravel and almost turned half a circle in the air, but he quickly adjusted his body in mid-air, used one palm to support the ground to cushion the impact, rolled to the ground, and then braked sideways to stabilize himself.

At the same time, the scalpel kept close to his body was flying towards the leader of the Vortex Gang at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

Kang!
It hit the skin that looked like flesh and blood, but it made a buzzing sound like hammering iron.

Even the skin is made of iron.

This vortex gang in the trench, the prosthetic transformation part of their body is already more than half done, right?!

You deserve it for being crazy!!
While Lu Mingfei was complaining, he knew that this madman didn't care about the loss at all, which made Lu Mingfei feel panic again.

After awakening his golden eyes, he thought he had mastered the power to at least protect himself in Night City.

But now it seems that even with the golden eyes, with his current physical condition, any prosthetic body and well-equipped gang leader can pose a threat to him.

Too weak.

No power!

"That's not necessary, big brother! Is the scavenger I killed your father, or is the scavenger I killed holding your father's prosthetic body? Why are you chasing me like this?!"

“ROARAAA ...

Following the boy's despicable provocation, the leader of the Whirlpool Gang roared.

The battle between the two men left behind a chaotic entanglement of light. Those who knew knew that it was a fight between cyber warriors, while those who didn't thought it was a tennis game or an exhibition match between the Generation of Miracles.

Panic and nervous.

Then--

"."

He pursed his lips, letting the blood surge up, making his golden eyes burn even more wildly.

excited.

Drain the remaining energy from the body.

Analyze all the movement patterns of the enemy in front of you as much as possible.

Don’t lose your way anymore, you stupid kid. If you take one more wrong step you’ll really become a “dead” kid.

Ding dong.

Suddenly a light bulb flashed in his mind, and Lu Mingfei's golden eyes flashed.

Hey, I have a little plan.

"Lucy, scare me!"

Lu Mingfei crossed his hands and held the blade in reverse.

While fighting the enemy, something strange happened in his visual window.

Sure enough, Lucy understood what Lu Mingfei meant.

[Sizzle——]

There was a flash in front of his eyes, and the next moment Lucy's portrait appeared in front of Lu Mingfei.

Since the two of them don't know each other's contact information, it would be better for Lucy to directly hack into Lu Mingfei's brain computer so that they can have a conversation in their minds.

Pass on Lu Mingfei’s “astonishing wisdom”!
Lu Mingfei: [——————]

Lucy: [.Will this plan work? No, this is the only way. The rest depends on our ingenuity.]

Lu Mingfei: [That's right! Now comes the decisive moment! Tighten your butt!]

Lucy: [Just tighten your skin, right?! What good is tightening your butt during a fight?!]

Lu Mingfei: [Keep your anus lifted. It's good for your health.]

Lucy: [Who cares about you?! !]

Lu Mingfei: [I just like to talk crap when I'm nervous! Please be gentle with me!]

A powerful enemy has arrived! Danger lurks on every side!
Please watch the next episode!

《Look! This is our exciting combo skill! 》
