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

Chapter 316 Legendary Hacker
When Lu Mingfei woke up, the pink ceiling was still spinning.

Lu Mingfei rolled over on the waterbed, his mind hazy. He pondered Lu Mingze's 'warning' in his sleep, and his mood was not very good.

To make him distrust his friends or something like that.
Da da.

How was your experience today?

Please rate our employees as part of their annual performance review.

Thank you so much for coming. We look forward to your next visit!

Ignoring the thank-you messages in his head, Lu Mingfei walked out the door and hailed a car. Unbeknownst to him, V seemed to have completed a series of tasks and developed a good relationship with Delaman Motors, thus signing a long-term contract with Delaman, to be available whenever needed.

Wow, that's amazing, V.

In that case, it would be better to talk to her about this as well.

Lu Mingfei arrived at the afterlife, where the familiar bar's sound system and camouflage lights filled the air with the smells of alcohol and electronic stimulants.

Just like when V arrived, people automatically cast respectful and fearful glances at Lu Mingfei, and few dared to approach him to start a conversation, even though some of them had watched Lu Mingfei grow up.

Is V there?

Upon arriving at the bar, Lu Mingfei inquired about the bar girl.

"I'm sorry, no~ but you can ask it another way."

Has V been here?

"Yes."

The younger sister chuckled and teased, "She just left half an hour before you arrived. She said that since she couldn't find you, it meant you didn't want her to look for you. So, wait until you've thought it through before you go to find her."

"Um"

Scratching his head sheepishly, Lu Mingfei was somewhat allergic to the teasing look in front of him from the young woman.

“Before that, I need to speak with Roger.”

"old place."

Watson District.

Little Chinatown, a super skyscraper.

This is where one of Night City's legendary figures—the infamous V—is located.

Of course, after gaining fame for his head-on confrontation with Arasaka and defeating him, V used the reward money to buy a house and mostly lived in the high-rise area in the city center, just like Lu Mingfei.

One reason was to improve their lives, and the other was to avoid being disturbed by strange and crazy gang members.

But occasionally, V would still slip past everyone's eyes and return to the little house where he first started living.

In her own words, she is, to some extent, a nostalgic person.

After activating the Netherworld Illumination, Lu Mingfei went straight to the address where V was located without disturbing anyone.

【Titer】

There's no need for hacking; Lu Mingfei has the necessary access.

Very few people dare to open their own gates in Night City; no one can guarantee that the gun at their side won't betray them, but V dares.

Anyone in this city who dares to break into her door is not worth her attention.

".V?"

He timidly poked his head into the room, and Lu Mingfei looked around.

I didn't see anyone; they were probably in the toilet or the armory.

Lu Mingfei heard the sound of a shower and, after figuring out the answer, he briefly considered whether to come back another day, but in the end, reason prevailed over emotion, and he sat down by the bed.

While waiting for V, he quietly watched the scenery outside the window.

When he first transmigrated, his place was quite similar to the super-skyscraper. Looking out, one could glimpse a decadent and corrupt corner of the city—beautiful yet base, like a stunningly beautiful dancer or prostitute, whose petals, more beautiful than any other, were born from rotten, foul soil. Now, Lu Mingfei no longer disliked this city; he even felt a little nostalgic.

I miss the alley where I was kidnapped by the kidney harvester. The land that used to be called Arasaka Academy has been demolished and replaced with a training base for ordinary people. The abandoned factory where David and his friends used to chat and joke around.
Past memories gradually seep into my mind, flowing quietly like a stream.
[Tick-tock—]

Until V pushed open the bathroom door.

"Well, here?"

V, dressed in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, came out of the bathroom, rubbing her head with a towel. She stood in the steamy air, glistening water droplets still clinging to the ends of her hair, which clung to her porcelain-white neck like splashed ink.

A few strands of hair meandered past her collarbone, leaving dark watermarks on her skin, like vines climbing a white jade railing after the rain.

After taking a shower, her face flushed slightly, she turned to Lu Mingfei and asked softly.

"So, did your sudden disappearance trigger some new inspiration?"

V walked to the refrigerator by himself, bent down and took out two cold beer cans. After a while, he replaced one of them with a can of cola.

"You've always been like this, suddenly transforming into a completely different person as if you've traveled through time. Was the mission that blue-eyed guy gave you really that exciting?"

Lu Mingfei was speechless; his changes were so obvious that even those who cared about him could hardly miss them.

Actually, he didn't intend to hide it; he just felt there was nothing to discuss if he simply said it, which is why he hadn't said it because he found it troublesome.

Lu Mingfei looked at V bending down to get water. Her loose short sleeves revealed her smooth, fair, and fat-free abdomen, as well as the faintly visible curves extending upwards, even though she was facing away from Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei turned his head and got down to business.

"He sent me to the Crystal Palace to carry out a demolition mission."

"Crystal Palace, blown up?"

V returned with beer and cola, but placed the beer in front of Lu Mingfei and drank the cola in one gulp with one hand.

"."

"Yes, in his words, the powerful and wealthy in the Crystal Palace are the real cancer of the world today."

V snorted and then took another sip of cola. "It's not hard to understand, but directly blowing them up doesn't mean the revival of surface civilization. And when did we become the great heroes who saved the world? I thought that was your propaganda slogan."

"I have some other things I need to confirm."

"."

V didn't ask 'what is that?' because Lu Mingfei didn't say it on his own initiative. She glanced elsewhere and changed the subject.

"In that case, we can't just use a bomb or a long-range guided weapon. Let me guess, are we going to infiltrate inside, gather intelligence, and then blow it up?"

"As expected of you, that's exactly right."

"Have the enforcement personnel thought it through?"

"Me, you, and then... and the cybersecurity experts they'll send from over there."

Lu Mingfei said.

This operation requires a small number of elites, and his former partners, including Jack and David, seem to no longer be able to participate.

Only V and he are qualified to execute Operation Crystal Palace.

V was not surprised, he simply nodded slightly.

“I understand. But a network expert? Is there a network expert in this world who is better than you? Unless Barthes crawls out of his grave, it’s impossible, right?” V wasn’t joking.

Lu Mingfei is now the world's best hacker.

Calling in another hacker would be completely unnecessary.

Lu Mingfei did not refute, but—to put it another way?
Despite knowing Lu Mingfei's skill level, they still insisted on sending hackers.

That.
Perhaps, what the other side sent was that rare "legend" in human history.
