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

Chapter 78 Is Brother Lao really not going to lay his cards on the table now?
Click click click click——

The cracks on the gray stone surface spread rapidly like a spider web, as if undergoing some kind of chemical reaction, instantly disintegrating from the inside out to reveal the faint starlight hidden within.

The air seemed to fall silent for a moment.

"Can you explain this?" Lu Mingfei looked at Lu Mingze speechlessly. "Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

now.

Pale crystal powder fell softly from his fingertips.

The mysterious starlight hidden within it floated out like a fish, merging into his body and filling the last two empty spaces in the [Word Spirit] row of the panel.

A sudden surge of power rose within me.

At this point, all five spells have been successfully activated.

[Word of Power: Shut Up], [Word of Power: Don't Die], [Word of Power: Weapon Master], [Word of Power: Bloodline Chain], [Word of Power: Black Sheep Wall]!
"What did I tease you about?" Lu Mingze blinked innocently. "When have I ever teased you?"

"When the hell are you not kidding me? Like last time you deliberately exaggerated how hard it was to pull out the Dragon-Slaying Platform, tricking me into making a deal with you!"

Lu Mingze immediately protested, "That's a bit shameless! I only said you couldn't pass the test! I didn't say you couldn't borrow power because you couldn't pass the test! Put your hand on your heart and tell me, did you pass it?"

"Besides, this is really just a limitation of the rules; I can't break through the underlying rules! Furthermore, I've given you plenty of hints, and you understood them, didn't you? Let's all get rich together!"

"You son of a bitch... I'll make you rich!"

Lu Mingfei was so angry that he ground his teeth.

With lightning speed, he reached forward and grabbed the little devil by the neck.

"Oooooooo-"

It actually worked!

This little devil was quite small. Normally, when it stood in front of Lu Mingfei, it would only reach his chest. But now, it was held in his strong arms, and its feet were lifted off the ground. It screamed and its limbs thrashed in mid-air.

His whole face turned red, his mouth was slightly open, and his lips trembled as he opened and closed, looking like a drowning person trying to breathe.

The only thing that could prove his devilish identity was the burning sensation of charcoal when you touched him.

Surprisingly, this sensation did not bring him a burning pain.

Instead, it was a warmth that seemed to come from the depths of one's heart, like a frozen traveler grasping a source of heat while standing in the midst of ice and snow.

Lu Mingfei suddenly had a very strange feeling.

At first, he always regarded Lu Mingze as some kind of abnormal creature (dragon) that had entangled him. Even when he occasionally felt a sense of closeness, he attributed it to some kind of seductive technique of the devil—but it was fleeting. After all, most of this guy's behavior was really hard to understand, plus he always had all sorts of strange lines popping out of his mouth.

Later, Lu Mingfei gradually discovered that this little devil's special qualities never lay in his strength...

Objectively speaking...

Aside from being a bit vicious with his words and sometimes impolite, never bothering to say hello before coming and going... but actually, every time he appears, he's always giving him gifts and favors, and he's never really done anything to harm him in essence.

And this moment.

As he hooked his arm around the little devil's neck, the two spent more and more time together, and a peculiar feeling suddenly burst forth in his heart.

Regardless of the screams, Lu Mingfei knew this guy was acting.

I didn't use any force at all!
But that subtle sense of closeness that had always been there suddenly intensified many times over, and it had a kind of blood-and-milk-like feeling, as if there really was some kind of extremely intimate relationship between the two of them, like real brothers... no, even closer than brothers!

This bizarre feeling made him feel somewhat dazed, and he loosened his grip a little.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

Lu Mingze was caught off guard and fell flat on his face, sitting on the ground rubbing his buttocks with a resentful expression.

But Lu Mingfei ignored his pretense and asked with a serious expression, "Who exactly are you?"

“I am your younger brother, Lu Mingze.”

Lu Mingze sighed, straightened his bow tie, patted his bottom, and stood up.

"Can you please stop harping on that chubby guy who's only 1.6 meters tall and weighs 160 pounds? It's not something to be proud of! I'd even consider it an attempt to ride on his coattails if you called yourself Chu Zihang!"

Lu Mingfei's eyelids twitched.

To be honest, every time he heard this little devil say that name, he felt a sense of unease. "Where did he get away with it... It's my name, that person is just trying to ride my coattails." Lu Mingze muttered, then his voice became firm and resolute.

"However, I am your brother, and that will never change! Even if the world were to end a hundred times, that will not change!"

Lu Mingfei was too lazy to argue with him any further on this issue: "Stop with this nonsense, what exactly is this 'word power' thing?"

At this moment, he naturally realized that these five quite useful spells were probably arranged by this little devil.

"Hehe... You found out. Yes, in principle, the Word of Power should be issued the moment you level up, that's the rule. Then I put in a little effort and influenced the pool while you were flirting with girls, eliminating useless options. When the time is right, everything works in your favor. Since you've made up your mind, I naturally have to lend a hand..."

"Oh, right."

Lu Mingze winked and said, "I'm quite satisfied with this girl, she's a good match for the Lu family!"

"Get out of here... What business is it of yours!"

Lu Mingfei blushed slightly, knowing that the little devil was referring to Su Xiaoqiang. He recalled the scene of them walking hand-in-hand through the streets that evening, and his heart fluttered inexplicably. This was the first time he had ever properly held a girl's hand; it was so soft…

No, wait! We're talking about serious business!

"So what exactly is this panel about? What gives you such power?"

Lu Mingfei quickly reverted to his vicious demeanor, though his lethality was noticeably reduced by several levels.

"This one……"

Lu Mingze hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I don't have much power, I'm quite restricted... Hey, no, no, no!"

He saw a dangerous glint in Lu Mingfei's eyes again.

He quickly raised his hands in surrender: "I really can't say... but want to know the truth? Go find it! In the Arctic! All the truths of this world are there!"

"Stop drastically altering the lines from One Piece! Why did you move the Grand Line directly to the Arctic?" Lu Mingfei said weakly.

He realized that this guy was completely incapable of normal communication.

He had previously tried using the "Deep Intelligence Extraction Permission" to deal with this guy, but no relevant entry appeared in the panel, resulting in a wasted cooldown. It was as if Lu Mingze was truly just a phantom in his mind.
Things that don't exist in the real world can naturally not be detected by the [Deep Intelligence Extraction Permission].

hesitated for a moment,
"What's in the Arctic?" Lu Mingfei asked, still clinging to a sliver of hope.

“There are polar bears, emperor penguins, and snow leopards… especially polar bears, they’re delicious even raw, and the Inuit people love them,” Lu Mingze said, smacking his lips.

"Shut up! Polar bears are protected animals! And don't think I don't know that snow leopards live in the mountains, and the ones in the Arctic are seals!"

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but cover his face.

I knew this guy wouldn't utter a human word!
"Hehe, don't take it so seriously..." Lu Mingze chuckled.

Immediately, he reached out and touched Lu Mingfei's forehead.

“It’s been thousands of years, brother. This time it’s already very good. There’s no need to be too anxious.”

"We...will definitely win."

His voice suddenly became soft.

Lu Mingfei was a little taken aback by this sudden seriousness, and even forgot to instinctively dodge.

But there's a familiar and natural feeling mixed in with it.

It seems that everything should have been this way.

boom--

this moment.

Countless beams of light, like shooting stars, streaked across the sky, but from bottom to top. High in the heavens, they burst from a single point of light into a magnificent bloom, and hundreds of streams of light fell, instantly illuminating the faces of the two people.

At midnight, in the center of Tang City, someone lit a grand fireworks display.

The gap between dreams and reality has been broken.

The eyes of the two people inside the room had already turned into a dazzling gold.
