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

Chapter 21 Dreaming of the Little Devil Again, Lu Mingfei's First Word of Power?
The little devil named Lu Mingze was still dressed in an exquisite little suit, but his body was covered in wounds.

A large patch of dark red blood was stained on the chest of his pristine white shirt, as if something had pierced through it. His forehead was also covered in a sticky, bright red blood that kept dripping down.

"Brother, are you worried about me?" Lu Mingze tilted his head, looking expectant.

"...Damn it, I was just wondering which hero was acting on behalf of Heaven."

Lu Mingfei muttered something, looked around, and realized that this time the dream was no longer the cold and dark castle hall.

It is an apartment decorated in a European style.

"Tch, it's boring."

Sure enough, Lu Mingze shook his head, and the bloodstains on his forehead and chest disappeared instantly, as if it were indeed a smokescreen used to gain his sympathy.

"So what are you planning to do now?" Lu Mingfei asked warily.

"Chu Zihang has prepared a new home for you. I'll take you to check it out beforehand, to avoid any pitfalls or anything like that."

Lu Mingze straightened his suit and bow tie with a serious expression, looking like a senior real estate manager.

"What do you mean? Are you saying my senior brother will betray me? I'm warning you, don't try to drive a wedge between us!" Lu Mingfei immediately objected.

One is a senior student, the other is a devil.

Do we even need to choose between these two?

"Tsk, did I manage to sow discord? This is the only person someone personally selected... Never mind, I'm just showing you around. It's your first time staying in such a big house, I'm worried you won't be able to find the bathroom at night!"

As he spoke, Lu Mingze actually walked ahead and took the initiative to introduce the apartment layout.

"This is room type number three in Peacock Residence, 189 square meters, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. You are currently in the master bedroom... Wow, the window faces the villa area directly. You might even see a beautiful, rich woman taking a bath tonight!"

Lu Mingfei didn't bother to listen at all, but a thought popped into his head.

Following behind him, I secretly tried to activate the intelligence panel.

This time it was successful.

But this guy seemed to have been prepared all along—

Name: Lu Mingze

【Combat strength: 0】

【Favourability: 10】

This time, the panel only has three lines, and there is no other information. Even the authority and special status that I saw last time are nowhere to be seen!

Sure enough, this thing can affect the panel, right?
Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a headache.
Why bother trying to create an image that is harmless yet unusually friendly?
It's like a tiger in a zoo biting through its steel cage right in front of you. Even if it crouches inside pretending to be docile, no normal person would believe it.

"It seems you still haven't remembered, brother."

Lu Mingze seemed to sense something, turned his head and smiled.

"In a world of kings, no means can be relied upon except for that tiger-like heart! Everything else is just icing on the cake; in the end, the only way to win is through bloodshed!"

"Damn it! Don't start spouting those cheesy, cheesy lines out of nowhere!"

Lu Mingfei looked embarrassed, unsure whether it was because he had been caught spying or because he couldn't stand the boy's lines.

I thought to myself, "What king, blood, tiger? This thing's purity is clearly higher than mine!"
"Alright, the house viewing session is over!"

After strolling around all the rooms, Lu Mingze announced, "Now we'll begin the customer follow-up session!"

Then, as if by magic, he pulled out a microphone and held it to Lu Mingfei's mouth.

Did you have a good day?

"I was happy before I saw you," Lu Mingfei said, rolling his eyes.

He has now realized that the little devil in front of him is in control of his dreams, and he can't completely ignore him, otherwise he doesn't know when he will be able to go back.

"So you're saying you're unhappy after seeing me?"

Lu Mingfei snorted, implying that it wasn't so.

The little devil sighed: "Riding in luxury cars and eating gourmet meals is indeed comfortable, and even desserts make me feel happy."

"You're spying on me!?" Lu Mingfei was immediately startled. "Don't say it so harshly, it's just surveillance," Lu Mingze said lazily.

"I'm warning you, it's illegal to spy on someone without their permission!"

"Fine, then arrest me."

Faced with Lu Mingze's outstretched, clean hands, he naturally couldn't grab them; after all, there were no handcuffs in a dream...

Holy crap, it really happened?

Lu Mingfei stared at the heavy iron handcuffs that seemed to have fallen from the ceiling. They were clearly made of genuine fine iron, not some kind of erotic accessory...

"I'll get someone to take care of you sooner or later!" Lu Mingfei decisively threw away the handcuffs and rolled his eyes.

"Hehehe..."

The little devil gave a forced, insincere smile.

He snapped his fingers, and the microphone and handcuffs vanished.

"Alright, let's get down to business. To celebrate that you've rediscovered a bit of your former self today, I've come to give you another gift."

"What price?" Lu Mingfei asked in return.

"...It's just a customer appreciation gift, you don't need to be so wary." Lu Mingze gave a wry smile.

"What price do you want to pay first!" Lu Mingfei knew, of course, that this guy was probably up to no good.

They just find any excuse to do some kind of customer feedback... It's a classic tactic used by barbershops and bakeries, and in the end, they just want you to top up your account!
Sure enough, Lu Mingze smiled shyly and said,

"If you really want to give me something, just like last time, a hug will do!"

"A hug in exchange for a Word of Power, isn't that a good deal?"

"Word of Power? You can help me activate Word of Power?" Lu Mingfei was immediately surprised.

He wasn't surprised at all that the little devil was using dragon terminology; now he even suspected that this thing was a dragon in a special form!
However, he also has a special status called 'Something for Nothing Fusion 1%' that he currently possesses.

So much happened today that he almost forgot it all.

Does that mean that after another hug, it will become 2%?!
However, if I could exchange it for Words of Power...

"Yes, how so? Want to try it?" Lu Mingze tempted her like a devil.

“Okay,” Lu Mingfei said seriously.

He needs a Word of Power; a hybrid without a Word of Power is like a toothless tiger. Only by gaining greater power can he possibly help his senior brother…

Having received so much kindness, he naturally wanted to repay it in some way, even if it came at a price. Besides, it wasn't unacceptable, since it only meant the degree of fusion had doubled.

"Bravo!" Lu Mingze snapped his fingers, and another object fell from the ceiling.

This time it's a square box with a round hole on top, like a lottery box.

"Let's use your favorite toss game mode! Each ball represents a different incantation. Draw three balls, and then you can choose your favorite one!" Lu Mingze solemnly announced.

I know about gacha games, they've been popular overseas lately and I've heard they're expensive, but I've never played one... And what's with you shouting those two words out loud without any shame?!
"When have I ever liked throwing games? I don't have the money to play that!"

Lu Mingfei blushed and tried to argue.

"If you don't want to smoke..." Lu Mingze raised an eyebrow, "I can just assign you one?"

"Just kidding, I'll smoke!"

Lu Mingfei certainly wouldn't let this guy make the choice!
At that moment, he seemed to transform into a staunch supporter of those unreleased reskinned gacha games, reaching into the box without hesitation and pulling out three crystal balls.

The room was suddenly filled with a brilliant light.

"Wow, the Golden Legend!" Lu Mingze exclaimed in a feigned voiceover.

Lu Mingfei also became inexplicably excited.

However, after seeing the words inside the ball, he was completely dumbfounded.

The first ball, [Word of Power: I Will Shine];
The second ball, [Word of Power - Anyone Can Do It];
The third ball, [Word of Power: Develop a Little].
