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

Chapter 6 Genius Hacker Lu Mingfei

As mentioned before, the world is controlled by the corporation, and Night City is controlled by Arasaka.

Thanks to his parents' bad company, Lu Mingfei was able to enter this "elite school", but with the death of his parents, his qualification to attend Arasaka Academy and his tuition fees were invalidated.

Last week, Lu Mingfei went out to handle the graduation ceremony, and now...
Lu Mingfei clicked the connection, and a bald man with a big belly but looking polite and decent immediately appeared in the corner of his vision.

[Student Lu Mingfei, your withdrawal procedures are nearly complete.]

[I'm contacting you this time because according to your classmates, they are very sad after learning about what happened to your parents.]

[They have packed up your personal belongings at school and plan to hand them over to you. If you need them, please come to Arasaka Academy to pick them up before 5:00 today.]

Hmm? Personal belongings?

Lu Mingfei recalled his last week's episode. Out of fear, he seemed to have agreed to everything without thinking and slipped away. On the way back, he was almost scared to death by the violent gangsters, and he really didn't pack any personal belongings.

As for classmates
The only way for Lu Mingfei to understand the interpersonal relationships within Arasaka Academy was through that diary, and matters concerning Arasaka Academy accounted for about a quarter of the content.

In general, Lu Mingfei is still at the bottom of the class in school. Although his parents are both corporate dogs, Lu Mingfei has always lived in poverty because his money is kept by his uncle and aunt.

They use the worst equipment and don't even mend or replace their torn uniforms. It's normal that the self-righteous young masters in the company can't stand it.

But—there are exceptions.

Just like how Lu Mingfei was good at StarCraft in his original world, this young man's brain worked very quickly, and he had endless creative ideas. If it was just a matter of regularly "destroying" or "tease" an object in the electronic world, then Lu Mingfei would be like a duck in water for some reason.

However, reflected in the cyberpunk world, the gaming ability has become a more practical panel.

【intelligence】

It's not wisdom in the popular sense. Night City's intelligence corresponds to the effects of solving problems and paying attention to details, and the corresponding specialty is [Hacking].

Lu Mingfei always manages to get the highest scores and complete course assignments in the electronic simulation classroom using the crappiest equipment and the most half-baked attitude. Therefore, Lu Mingfei often receives commissions from classmates to help assist the group in completing tasks.

He was truly "academically excellent" and even skipped a grade - although it was said that the spot was vacated because someone in the previous class inexplicably dropped out.

In short, Cyber ​​Lu Mingfei's popularity is much better than his own.

"Damn!" Lu Mingfei blushed a little at the thought. "You're so ungrateful. You can still pretend to be hurt by your youth. Are you living in a romance novel written by a dog?"

Arasaka Academy and Cyborg Doctor.

Lu Mingfei had to decide where to go immediately.

In fact, Lu Mingfei only knows about both sides through the diary, so it is hard to say which one is better or worse. However, Arasaka Academy is an A-level map in the game, and the dropped items are definitely more advanced.

In the end, Lu Mingfei chose to randomly roll the electronic dice in his mind to decide his destination.

(1-3 Cyborg Doctor, 4-6 Arasaka Academy.)
Lu Mingfei thought easily and rolled the dice on his cheap display screen.

It’s just that Lu Mingfei forgot.

He has always had bad luck.

----------------

[Sorry, doctor, something happened to me and I may have to visit you a little later.]

【.（Inputting）】

Titer.

[Victor: It's okay. I don't have much business here anyway. I should be able to entertain you anytime you come.]

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. You always try to avoid talking about prosthetics, but I think you should come and see it this time. Of course, maybe I can even give you a discount."

[Finally, Mingfei, people tend to be long-winded as they get older.]

"Night City is very dangerous at night. You are in a special situation now. Promise me you won't walk alone at night, okay?"

"Lu Mingfei, I'm also very sorry about what happened to your mother. Although I've said it many times, they are important employees of Arasaka, and you are also an excellent student. I..."

In the office of Arasaka Academy, Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the principal speaking social etiquette, which went in one ear and out the other. At the same time, he was having a conversation in his mind with the cyborg doctor mentioned in the diary.

The doctor named Victor seemed very kind in his words. Lu Mingfei wanted to talk to him more, but unfortunately the principal in front of him was too noisy, so he didn't even have time to finish reading Victor's last words.

This man didn't even know his parents, so there was no regret for him. Moreover, if he was really as good as he said, then as long as the scholarship was distributed normally, it should be enough for Lu Mingfei to continue his studies.

After all, without money and background, even capable people will be overwhelmed by this city.

Oh, unless you are a super monster like Johnny Silverhand, Morgan Blackhand, or even the Internet God Ricky Batmos.

Lu Mingfei is not like that. He is just slightly better at playing StarCraft, and his [Intelligence] attribute may be a little higher.

In short, after Lu Mingfei stood for about ten minutes, the principal's speech ended. When he said, "Well, I hope to see you active in Arasaka's company in the future," Lu Mingfei was ready to greet the bell like a student who was detained after triggering a keyword.

"Well, your classmates are at the back door of Arasaka Academy. Go meet them."

The principal kept smiling and said, "Friendship among classmates is an important resource. Please cherish it."

This is true.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

Except for himself, most of the students in his class are genuine rich boys. If there was only one person among the dozens of people who was willing to support Lu Mingfei, he would not have died tragically on the street.

With such subtle expectations, Lu Mingfei left the office.

The beating of his heart and the sound of his footsteps overlapped, and Lu Mingfei became more and more excited the more he thought about it.

You never know. Lu Mingfei swore he was in need of love. If someone dared to say to him, "Come here! Lu Mingfei, I need you!", he would be willing to work overtime for that person, even at the cost of his life.

He is serious!

This fantasy lasted until he met his so-called 'classmate'.

"Hey~~~ Lu Mingfei, long time no see."

With his palms facing outward, the boy with a navy-blue bowl-cut hair and wearing the Arasaka school uniform walked out from the shadow of the back door.

The lines sounded quite like those of a powerful character who had just been resurrected in a Japanese comic, but the smile on his face was not only bad but also ugly, with a strong offensiveness that made Lu Mingfei stunned for a moment.

Not only because his smile is ugly, but also because we were supposed to be "classmates", so how come there is only one person?
Lu Mingfei subconsciously looked around. The back door of Arasaka Academy was a dark place. The sunlight was blocked by the huge black building, leaving a small dark area within the radius of this gorgeous and noble academy.

The sunlight is very strong at this time of the afternoon, so the shadows are deeper, and even the camera probably can't see the scene inside.

Ten meters behind Lu Mingfei was the entrance to the back alley, with a trace of light shining diagonally, but when Lu Mingfei turned around, he saw two passers-by walking out with the same mean smile.

Ah, oops.

Lu Mingfei reacted.

This scene was too familiar to the well-read Lu Mingfei.

Am I being 'blocked'?

why?
Lu Mingfei wondered if he was pretty popular at school. He didn't see any mention of enemies in his notebook. Even the girl he had a crush on in this cyber world wasn't from the academy! He couldn't possibly mess with anyone!

But the reality is that it is blocked.

Although some young masters were jealous of Lu Mingfei's intelligence that was not that of an ordinary person, it was not like the style of the young masters in Arasaka to come and block the door for such a thing.

unless
I met a madman.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so scared."

The man with the blue bowl-cut hair in front of him was approaching Lu Mingfei step by step with a smile that said "everything is under control".

He smiled even brighter than Lu Mingfei had just now. "Lu Mingfei, thanks to your greed, my lie to the principal was worth it. As your "enthusiastic" and "kind" classmate, I am able to see you again."

"Well, I can understand that you don't actually have any personal belongings, but you lied to the principal about the information and pulled me over?" Lu Mingfei asked, hunching over.

"Don't talk nonsense~ Aren't personal belongings everywhere in Arasaka Academy?"

The pot-cut guy grinned and leaned back, saying word by word, "Doesn't your lowly and vulgar aura still linger in the academy?"

".Um, can I go now--"

Lu Mingfei was speechless, feeling as if he was being forced to watch the first chapter of some third-rate urban novel.

Unfortunately, the person in front of him seemed to have mental problems and kept talking.

"Let me make it clear first, I don't discriminate against the poor. After all, it's not your fault that you were born poor. However, you are the only one I just can't stand."

The bowl-cut man's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and he even moved closer to Lu Mingfei nervously. He stared into his eyes as Lu Mingfei looked uncomfortable, and kept closing the distance between them.

Both sides could almost see the texture of each other's prosthetic eyes. There was no bloodshot, but they could inexplicably see the scarlet hatred in each other.

"Obviously poor, obviously lowly, yet still holding himself high, those eyes! Yes! Yes, yes, yes!! Just like that David Martinez!!!" When he read a certain name, the man's expression became even more frantic, and he spoke at an extremely fast pace, muttering like a madman, "That fucking bitch!! If it weren't for him!! If it weren't for him! Ever since I met him, my life has been on a downward spiral! Otherwise, how could I have fallen to the point where I have to rely on my family's opinions to go to school!"

“Who is that?”

Lu Mingfei took a step back, but the guy with the bowl-cut hair kept pressing forward, constantly hitting Lu Mingfei with his chest. His body, enlarged by the prosthesis, was quite hard, and Lu Mingfei felt like he was being forced back little by little by a slow-moving car.

"Can't you even remember the senior who dropped out? The poor are indeed poor. Have they even lost the instinct to huddle together for warmth?" The pot-cut guy first raised his head and laughed, but his expression froze the next moment. "Hey, wait, you—"

Mr. Bowl-Cut's eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets.

He said hoarsely, "Do you still remember my name?"

Ah, oops.

Lu Mingfei's face stiffened.

——Of course there won’t be any men’s names in the diary.

"Uh that"

He looked at his classmate with a bowl-cut haircut, who was even beginning to lose consciousness after reaching the peak of anger. The corners of his mouth trembled, and finally changed into an awkward but polite smile.

"Jay Jack?"

"."

The blue-haired guy with the bowl-cut hairstyle had a frozen expression for a while, perhaps he was wondering in his mind whether Lu Mingfei was pretending or really didn't remember.

After finally reaching a conclusion through observation, his facial muscles wrinkled at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if he had completed a collapse with his nostrils as a black hole.

"The road!!! Ming!!! No!!!!"

Hey, why are you yelling so loud? (half annoyed)

　[Information that can be made public 1]: Lu Mingfei's interstellar level in his original world is almost on par with the hacker "talent" of this world.

　　[Information that can be made public 2]: I saw a reader mentioned it, so I will say it first. The emotional line of this novel is different from the previous two books. Not everyone is centered around Lu Mingfei - because the protagonist is not Fujimaru Ritsuka, but the unlucky Lu Mingfei.

　　In fact, I am really the God of Pure Love (I am sure
