Dragon Clan: I am Lu Mingfei, the Intelligence Strategist, the God of Concepts!

Chapter 103 Fusion, and the Possibility of Obtaining 'Return to the Void'

Its daybreak.

Sunlight streamed in through the window.
Lu Mingfei opened his eyes and subconsciously reached out, touching a familiar hard object beside his pillow.

That was his cell phone.

The date and time on the screen showed that he had only slept for one night after his exhaustion and unconsciousness.

The interior layout is antique, clearly indicating that he has returned to Xiangyang Tang City.

Someone thoughtfully placed his phone on his bedside table; there was still an unread text message on it.

"It feels like a dream."

Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.

The long-awaited quiet, his whole body felt warm and comforting as if coated with ointment. He didn't get up immediately, nor did he rush to open the text message. Instead, he closed his eyes again, enjoying the post-coital rest.

I also brought up the control panel again.

All the data showed no difference from last night, but there were a few things that Lu Mingfei still didn't quite understand.

When I killed Leviathan, the notification that popped up on the panel was completely different from when I killed Samurai before.

It not only specifically notes, "You killed the King of the Ocean and Water—Leviathan,"

There was also a new discovery.

[Gained authority: Water (16.4%)]

Lu Mingfei didn't quite understand.

Now that I've obtained the 'authority,' why isn't it showing up on the panel...? It can't be that it was withheld from me.

In addition, there is an even more crucial point.

The 'Something for Nothing Fusion' under the 'Special State' has suddenly increased to 34%, exceeding 1/3 of the progress.

What is the principle of this?
To be honest, Lu Mingfei didn't notice anything unusual about himself.

He had already guessed that the little devil's identity was somewhat special, and now he probably also guessed that this 'Something for Nothing fusion' might not be a debuff...

But what does this thing actually mean?
However, Lu Mingfei actually knew when the percentage of fusion increased.

It happened during his life-or-death battle with Leviathan.

When he first faced Leviathan, Lu Mingfei was under tremendous pressure.

After all, this dragon king's combat power far surpasses his, and he had just easily defeated Nuwa, who was also in the Thousand Battles Domain.

Lu Mingfei felt that there was an absolute power gap between him and Lu Mingfei that was impossible to overcome. Not to mention combat skills, even Nuwa was no match for him, so he was probably no match for him either. At best, he could only rely on the predictive ability of [Word Spirit - Weapon Master] to hold on for a while.

What ultimately sustained him as he stepped towards Leviathan was an inner ruthlessness and an indomitable spirit.

In that atmosphere and mood, he activated the 'intense intent' within the Tiger Roar Fang Spear alchemical matrix, repeatedly hypnotizing himself that he had to win this battle.

This allowed the conceptual Word of Power [Word of Power: Easy as Hands], which had been acquired long ago, to unleash its full power.
In the process of battling Leviathan, 'Something for Nothing Fusion' also began to steadily improve.

At the time, Lu Mingfei had no time to pay attention to it.

It's a very strange feeling. You're clearly the one fighting desperately, but sometimes you feel like your consciousness is being pulled out of your body, watching the battle from an outsider's perspective. At times, your body is handed over to another version of yourself, and then your consciousness is pulled back by some kind of attraction, merging with it, and so on and so forth...

Lu Mingfei could roughly guess that, according to the concept of hybrids, his dragon-like personality must have surfaced from the depths of his consciousness to assist in the battle and killing. There was nothing wrong with that; after all, when facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, one should use every means at their disposal.

But the same question remains—

"What the hell does 'fusion' even mean?"

At this moment, Lu Mingfei carefully experienced every inch of his body.

To be honest, apart from the warmth of the plaster, I didn't feel anything special. Upon examining my inner self, I didn't find any cognitive or positional confusion that would occur in the conventional sense when the "dragon personality takes over".

This is as if,

The so-called 'fusion' only exists in the panel display and has no effect on the device itself.

"Could it be that the time hasn't come yet to trigger it?"

Lu Mingfei fell into thought, trying to analyze the reasons, but he did not get a reasonable result and had to give up for the time being.

"Never mind, there's always a way out." His attention quickly returned to the bedside table.

During his sleep, the person not only gave him a bath and changed his clothes, but also applied medicine to his body. They also placed all his personal belongings by his bedside so that he wouldn't be anxious if he couldn't find them when he woke up.

That's really thoughtful.

But one of the items, when it popped up with an exclamation mark, immediately stunned him.

[Alchemy Tool: Word of Power - Return to Nothingness/Recording Board]

[Forger: Lu Mingfei]

[Brief Description: This is a metal plate with extremely high sound sensitivity. It was passively activated by a fierce dragon's roar, recording that magnificent dragon script. If you drip blood on it and crush it, you will produce the same sound.]

[Comment: Friendly reminder, while the 6.8-second "Return to Nothingness" is incomplete, please ensure you possess the authority to match it before showing off, otherwise...]

Read the contents carefully.

"hiss--"

Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat, followed by a surge of joy.

"Is this... a trial card for the Ruins of Return?"

"However, one must have authority to use it, otherwise the consequences will be severe? Is that what you mean by 'evaluation'?"

After thinking it over, Lu Mingfei decided to temporarily suppress the idea of ​​trying it out on the spot.

This is Zhou family territory, and now it can almost be considered their own territory.

What kind of brilliant mind would test a world-destroying power incantation on their own turf?

Moreover, this thing is a one-time use item... We still need to find a key moment, and while we're at it, we can try to use the [Deep Intelligence Extraction Permission] to extract the complete version of 'Gui Xu'... Is there such an operation?
At least this counts as an offensive ultimate move, even though the wind-up animation looks a bit long...

Lu Mingfei's thoughts were racing, and he felt energized, suddenly no longer sleepy.

Fine, if I can't sleep, I'll get up and see what the situation is like outside.

I turned on my phone again and opened the text message.
"After you wake up... please press the service bell?" Lu Mingfei read the message aloud.

He suddenly remembered...

Why did I have this vague feeling of unease for a while?

Last time I woke up, there was Su Xiaoqiang by my bedside...

However, this time, that familiar face did not peek out from the bedside.

"I've been away for too long. I need to find time to go back to Binhai in a couple of days."

Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.

'Ding--'

The service bell rang, and there was a commotion at the door.

A soft knock sounded, and then a tall figure darted in.

She wore a pure white bow in her hair, a burgundy dress with a hemline that reached around her knees, showing off her 'decent' figure. The cuffs and neckline were decorated with ruffled lace, and she also wore a pair of white silk gloves.

A standard maid outfit...

Wait, when did the Zhou family start employing maids?

And that head of dark red hair...

Is this Nono?

Lu Mingfei almost burst out laughing while sitting on the bed.

What kind of abstract fashion style suits you?

At that moment, Nono, dressed in a maid outfit, blushed slightly, entered the room, bowed slightly, and said softly.

"By order of the Goddess Nuwa, I have come to serve Young Master Lu."
