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

Chapter 319 God of the Internet
"That's alright. I was also curious about that place, but I just hadn't made up my mind to schedule it properly."

Before the mission began, Kerry spoke frankly.

The Crystal Palace is a sanctuary that humankind dreams of, the ultimate destination of all romance and fantasy.

Everyone longed to know the truth behind the legend, and Kerry was no exception.

not to mention--

He had no task whatsoever.

“But is that all? Uh, no code needed?” Kerry asked. “My task is simply to get on the ship?”

"Yes, no need. Just improvise. It would be best to go on stage while drunk, sing a song, and create some chaos."

After that, Kerry granted the request.

Planning begins.

"So, you are [Spider-Murphy], right?"

The time for the mission was fast approaching.

Lu Mingfei checked the rocket he was about to board.

The main body is cylindrical and covered in white. The rocket is 53 meters high and has a maximum diameter of 3.7 meters. The fairing is made of two carbon fiber composite materials and has an anti-static coating and a temperature sensor array on its surface.

This was a launch project controlled by another company under Blue Eyes, but now, under various pretexts, Lu Mingfei has been squeezed into it.

The outer wall of the propulsion section is equipped with annular reinforcing ribs, and the inner wall has milled cooling channels.

Lu Mingfei had always seen similar scenes in science fiction movies, but at this moment, facing the densely packed panels, he could naturally know all the knowledge he needed.

This is the convenience of this era. Like The Matrix, all the necessary knowledge can be implanted into the brain through "knowledge chips." As long as you have money and power, engineers can be mass-produced.

The physical requirements for astronauts can also be overcome with prosthetic bodies.

An era of mechanical advancement, an era in which humanity is 'omnipotent'.

—On the premise that the benefits of this technology can be shared by everyone.

Wow!

The mechanical spider made that sideways movement again, and Lu Mingfei could roughly tell that it was expressing 'surprise' or simply being cute.

You're only realizing it now?

The little spider's 'mouth' opens and closes.

【Yes! 】

[I am Night City's youngest legendary hacker! The Nightmare of Cyber ​​Surveillance! The Spider Queen! Otto Canning's best friend! Bartmouth's dream girl! Johnny Silverhand's benefactor! The one who slaughtered Arasaka's eldest son!]

"This room can't fit so many people."

【What? 】

Lu Mingfei first joked with the impassioned little spider, then immediately put on a serious face and confirmed.

"So, the one who saved me that day was Bartmouth, right?"

Bartholomew, the god of the internet.

This man's resume and experience are so impressive that they cannot be overstated.

The world of 'Intelligence 20 and above' that Lu Mingze once told Lu Mingfei only had a handful of people, and Bartmouth was definitely one of them, and absolutely at the top.

Most people believe he is dead, but hackers believe that God simply exists outside the world.

Lu Mingfei was no exception. Ever since his intelligence reached 20 and he assessed his own strength, he was shocked to discover—

I cannot do what Barthes Moss did and single-handedly defeat the entire world in cyberspace.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei also believed that such a person would not die so easily.

His ability to pull himself out of that online maze also proves his capabilities.

That's all—

Lu Mingfei already knew both Ottkenen and Bartmouth. Since these two legendary hackers, who should have been dead, had become digital ghosts wandering cyberspace, it was highly likely that the Spider-Man Murphy, whose fate was unknown, had also met the same fate.

Hmm~ He admires you.

"That's what Spider-Murphy said."

You are special, perhaps you don't even know it yet.

“You seem to know a lot about me.”

[Of course, both on the surface and deep down, you know, your file entered Arasaka's core through the database when you were very young. In terms of talent, you are unique.]

Of course, because you are so unique, many people have tried to trip you up to prevent a commoner like you from rising to power, including Tanaka.

The name was familiar, yet somewhat unfamiliar. Lu Mingfei took some time to recall his past with that rich second-generation.

"Do you know anything else?"

Of course, of course I know, but now is not the best time to say it.

This guy is a riddle-maker, just like Lu Mingze.

Lu Mingfei was speechless.

And just then, V returned.

Like Lu Mingfei, she put on her bulky spacesuit and sat in the launch bay. It was a small project for the company, so the rocket itself was not very spacious, and the two of them were almost touching.

Normally, Lu Mingfei would be a little nervous, but right now all he could think about was Caesar, and honestly, he felt nothing at all, with a small spider with a seatbelt in between him and his spacesuit.

【Buzz】

The operation began quickly.

Thirty minutes before launch, the cabin circulation system began operating, and a slight hum could be heard from the air filters. The seat's shock-absorbing material deformed with the slight swaying of the rocket, and the clicking sound of the Velcro straps on the shoulder straps reached Lu Mingfei's ears.

With each battle, Lu Mingfei felt his sexual characteristics beginning to change towards those of a dragon.

Even though he remained stable, his heart was pumping blood more and more strongly, and his vision, hearing, and even secondary sexual characteristics began to develop in a 'bloated' direction.

He had no way of knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

The countdown has begun.

As the fuel pump increased its speed, the entire rocket body vibrated rhythmically. Only then did Lu Mingfei belatedly realize that he should be nervous.

With the enhancements of [Fourth Degree Bloodlust] and [Alchemy], Lu Mingfei didn't know if he could withstand the damage from the high-altitude rocket explosion and subsequent fall.

Hmm, that should be possible.

But what if it exploded in space?

Oh dear, I'm a little scared.

Lu Mingfei shifted uncomfortably. When V noticed this, instead of comforting him, she was taken aback and couldn't help but pout.

【boom!--------】

The moment the engine starts, the first thing you feel is the seat suddenly sinking, followed by the increasing overload pressing you into the cushioning pad.

Outside the porthole, the water mist sprayed from the deflector was instantly vaporized by the tail flame, forming a swirling white cloud, and then the visual experience began to be rapidly refreshed.

Change, change. The color has stabilized, but I can clearly feel myself rising.

After a period of time, the sky gradually changed from light blue to dark blue.

At a certain moment.

The rocket pierced the Karmen line.

【————————】

Suddenly, the view outside the porthole changed from deep blue to absolute darkness.
