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

Chapter 210 Resurrection! Saburo Arasaka! A glorious resurrection!

For a week after completing the Arasaka Tower mission, Lu Mingfei was working on the verge of sudden death.

As the 'Grand President,' he must take on the various important tasks of the new 'political system' of Night City.

Night City, the City of Dreams, abandons all previous 'company' concepts and instead relies on key personnel from various companies stationed in Night City to provide cooperation channels and resources.

The city was built using brutal force.

However, despite abandoning the company's ideals, this is still not a dream city where everyone is equal.

Because the effects of the past still linger, most of the lower classes are just a group whose brains have been damaged by drugs and whose thinking is no longer normal due to masturbation. However, even if the company employees leave the company, their cybernetic bodies and attribute panels are retained, and they are still highly skilled talents.

The mindset is difficult to change instantly, and the hierarchical relationship still exists.

Moreover, the loss of the company's control actually exacerbated the conflict.

Everything was in such a mess.

Fortunately, this place is different from the normal world; it has a special aspect.

That is Lu Mingfei's personal ability.

With his absolute authority and power, he commands and forces everyone to stop committing crimes and to cease all forms of fighting. If anyone is found guilty, he personally takes action to punish them.

By replicating Caesar [Kamaitachi], one can hear the voices of the people and directly control all possible riots.

With the ability to instantly travel to any corner of the city, Lu Mingfei can now do so.

With thunderous force, he killed his enemies who opposed him.

This is absolute dictatorship, absolute 'lack of freedom'.

But why?

Why is it that instead of fearing or resisting this sanction, everyone actually entered a brief period of stability as a result?

This is because of their 'respect and love'.

At least in this generation, having witnessed Lu Mingfei's battles and heard his legendary mercenary stories, they had no choice but to devote their entire faith to him.

The company people feared him, the lower classes revered him, and apart from a few 'madmen,' there were no more unstable elements in the city.

Allow companies to sacrifice market share and efficiency to provide the jobs that people need, thus gradually changing the way cities operate.

The core industries controlled by the original company, such as energy, infrastructure, and military industry, were brought under the collective ownership of Night City.

The plan promotes a "universal basic welfare program" and a system of mandatory labor for all citizens, requiring all citizens to participate in basic public services.

Use the education system to indoctrinate people with anti-corporate ideology, ensuring that all citizens in the next generation are qualified to master skills such as high-end prosthetic body repair and cybersecurity, thus breaking down the barriers between knowledge classes.

They allied with anti-corporate forces such as homeless tribes and free states, established intelligence-sharing and material support networks, used media and street art to promote the "Night City Independence Spirit," and symbolized rebels such as Johnny Silverhand as national heroes to strengthen collective identity.

— All of these things are just empty talk.

Unless you activate your Word of Power, bring Relic, and go to the homes of the company's top executives one by one, give them all a slight brain swap, and drag the entire Night City down in a completely inhumane way.

Lu Mingfei is now an expanded version of [King General].

The dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon himself, and he ultimately finds himself in the very position he once scorned.

but.
There is only one way.

The world is broken, and to fix it, we need to cut away the festering, oozing flesh.

Lu Mingfei stood in the military technology building he had requisitioned—once the second tallest building in Night City, now the highest point in Night City—overlooking the city.

He clearly held the lives of everyone in the city in his hands.

But those dark, violent, and primal human desires were only stirred up slightly before vanishing into thin air.

He's not interested.

He's still that same loser kid.

He's still the same person who doesn't have any particularly strong desires.

Looking at this city that was entirely his own, he had only one thought: [To finish all this as soon as possible, go back over there, and then play a game of StarCraft with Old Tang.]

chuckled.

Lu Mingfei stood up slightly.

"Let's go take a shower first."
-
The bathroom door clicked shut behind him, and steam immediately clung to the man's eyelashes.

Lu Mingfei reached out and turned on the valve. The water flowed at first like intermittent sobbing, and then suddenly turned into a roaring waterfall.

Hot water splashed onto the ground, and steam rose from the frosted glass partition. In the misty steam, the boy's figure was vaguely visible.

Hot water flowed down the grooves of the spine, some seeping into the healed wounds, and some meandering down the lines of the muscles toward the ground.

Feeling the intense heat pouring down on his head, the boy inhaled and exhaled repeatedly.

DingTalk

DingTalk

On the side of his prosthetic eye, there were constant requests for communications and intelligence.

David, Lucy, these can reply after you've finished showering.

DingTalk

I dare not reply to V.

Ever since dancing with V at the party and then being... uh... 'desecrated' by her?, Lu Mingfei has been somewhat afraid to see her.

I sent a message.

I'm taking a shower, sorry.

Of course, to avoid V thinking he was angry, Lu Mingfei still sent many text messages. Now V is considered one of the main managers of Night City.

She still learns as quickly as ever. She can understand many decrees that Lu Mingfei had no idea how to handle in a second. Lu Mingfei is the nominal king of Night City, but behind the scenes, it is capable women like V who are supporting the city's operation.

But as expected, I still didn't know what to say.

In short, let Jack try to persuade V to stay; we can buy him some time.

After clearing out most of the replies, Lu Mingfei finally selected only one ID to initiate a video call.

That is
[Arasaka Yorinobu]

[Congratulations! I watched your speech and party, it was quite a grand affair. Wait, something's off in the camera angle over there, were you taking a shower?]

Aragaka Yoriyuki's head appeared in the corner of his field of vision. He had been operating a computer or something similar, but after looking at Lu Mingfei's communication window, he quickly showed an expression of disbelief.

Couldn't you have answered the phone at a different time?

"What does it matter?"

He doesn't dare to video call V, but he doesn't care about Lai Xuanlu and Mingfei.

The latter remained silent for a long time before finally sighing and speaking.

"Fine, whatever you want."

[And, I've already sent you the thing you needed.]

I don't support resurrecting him, but if it were you, you should be able to control him—don't underestimate him; that man's obsession and madness are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

"Ah."

After this incident, Arasaka Yoriyuki was released by Lu Mingfei and went to join his former brothers. He is probably still fighting against the company now.

But besides that, there was one more important thing he had to do before he left.

That is to go back to Japan and give Lu Mingfei something extremely important.

That is.
