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

Chapter 275 Parents
Lu Lincheng.

Approaching forty years old.

Although he is old, because he is a mixed-race person with excellent bloodline, he can still remember most of the things he has experienced in his life.

This includes how his younger self was 'selected,' invested in, and ultimately chosen for Night City.

Lu Lincheng sat at the highest point of this eternally dark city. Although his official profession was Secretary-General, Lu Lincheng was already the de facto ruler of this city, or at least its spokesperson.

His office has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the entire city, the bustling crowds, the happiness on their faces, and the ever-advancing technology.

This ideal city is his dream.

It's been like this since I was very young.

"Lu Lincheng!! I've heard! Ming Fei is coming to our area!"

The door behind him was pushed open, and a woman who looked like she was in a lot of trouble barged in.

Lu Lincheng turned to look. Na Yin was quite tall, with a broad frame, and not the slender, graceful type that Chinese people prefer. Her straightforward and decisive manner was somewhat like that of an American woman.

She looked to be over forty, an old woman, with a bunch of wrinkles around her eyes, but her gaze was still sharp. She still had big wavy hair, maintained a good figure, and was energetic. She was a beautiful and vigorous woman.

Lu Lincheng's expression softened considerably when he saw the woman. "Hmm, I can't hide it from you after all."

"You just don't want me to see him!" the woman said sharply.

“Men should talk business, women shouldn’t interrupt.” Lu Lincheng shook his head, “He’s grown up, and as his father, I need to see the results.”

"Bullshit! He's my son! What's it to you!"

The woman's answer was quite vulgar, but Lu Lincheng wasn't annoyed; he simply shook his head.

"Have you thought about how you're going to explain this to Mingfei later?"

"Explain why we haven't been home once in over a decade, explain what our previous jobs were, and explain our relationship with Principal Angers."

Jovie, Lu Mingfei's mother, suddenly frowned.

These matters were too complicated. Although she had prepared her thoughts several times, she was unsure whether her son would accept her explanation.

"So you understand?"

She plopped down on the office sofa and asked angrily.

“I don’t need to understand.” Lu Lincheng smiled and shook his head. “With Mingfei’s abilities, he should be able to quickly find the information he needs from every corner of this city and then understand the essence of this city.”

Lu Lincheng placed his hand on the glass window.
"This is a city of dreams, the last refuge for mankind."

"We are called the 'Doomsday Faction' by outsiders because we believe that humanity cannot defeat the 'Dragons.' If we do defeat the Dragons, it will mean that an even worse era is about to begin."

"This world is deformed from its very roots, beyond redemption, so we chose this place, the last mysterious land—the Nibelungen."

"With the best genes, the kindest and simplest people, the most complete system, and the most advanced technology, we will survive as the last spark of humanity."

Even now, Lu Lincheng still remembers it.

That past of mine in Fuzhou.
Lu Lincheng is an ordinary person.

The concept of "ordinary" is relative. Lu Lincheng knew this. He understood that he was a little more handsome, a little more muscular, and a little more intelligent than the average person.

In his early years, his dragon blood primarily manifested in brain development, and the so-called brain expansion has many subcategories. Some people are better at logical reasoning, while others are better at scientific invention. Lu Lincheng is special; he excels at 'Dragon Script Resonance'. This is a talent that doesn't show off, unless someone is willing to enlighten him.

Therefore, for a considerable period of time, he could only be considered an 'averagely excellent ordinary person'. His excellence allowed him to rank at the top of his class, but he could not transcend his innate social class.

Without those talents, he would become as ordinary as his younger brother Lu Gucheng, enjoying a life that was almost predictable.

However, he was the one who received the investment.

Just as Lu Mingfei received the text message from Kassel, the door that Lu Lincheng should have closed suddenly opened one day.

As mentioned before, the blood of mixed-race individuals already has inherent problems, and nationwide blood testing can easily detect the existence of these abnormal individuals. The higher-ups simply choose to selectively ignore this problem and leave the handling of mixed-race individuals to professionals.

The force that intercepted Lu Lincheng was none other than the power behind Kassel—the Board of Trustees.

Initially, he didn't know which family the other party came from, but there, Lu Lincheng received the highest level of education, learning about the history, causes, and development of mixed-race people—as intelligent as he was, he quickly foresaw his own situation.

He was merely kept as an 'asset'.

The Board of Trustees invests in truly outstanding hybrids from all over the world, bringing them under its wing, strengthening its power, and binding its groups—all in order to ensure they gain greater benefits and status in the 'era after defeating the dragons'.

Lu Lincheng knew this perfectly well, and was happy to cooperate.

He had a clear understanding of his own position. However, in his youth, a youthful flame still burned within him. He even fantasized about using his own strength to interpret the history of the dragon race and then finding a way to persuade the school board members who invested in him to spread this benefit to the world.

Dragons, these immortal creatures, symbolize perpetual cycles and reincarnation, and even evolve themselves.

They themselves are a huge asset left by Earth to highly intelligent life forms like humans. If used properly, the whole world can enter an unprecedented era of development, like high-speed trains.

Lu Lincheng, who was striving for his dreams, also met his beloved Qiao Weini there.

Like Lu Lincheng, Jovini is a brain specialist who interprets dragon script. Even though they lack combat abilities, they are both under the attention of important figures above them. They have made outstanding contributions to ancient artifacts left by the dragon race, such as the Ice Sea Copper Pillar.

Unfortunately, the more they delved into the culture of the dragon race, the more ominous their premonition became.

That shows that humans' disdain for dragons seems to be a bit too arrogant.

Indeed, dragons are weak.

Even including the four great monarchs, in human history, there are only a few instances of humans achieving victory.

However, all of this has one premise.

That is.
Humanity has never directly defeated the Black King.

The picture of 'humans killing the Black King' that Kassel shows students every year when they enroll is a fabrication.

What if the Black King really exists?
Can humanity still maintain its current arrogant mindset?

"They know nothing about the Black King."

"And once 'cognition' is achieved..."

Lulin City covers half of it.

"That means certain defeat."
